Sounds like when you soft reset your messaging settings reverted back to sprint.
Take a close look at this great tutorial on howard forums for the vogue:

There may have been an error when your phone was flashed to metro originally. That thread should have everything you need.

Heres the thing if i do a hard reset i have to go pay the only guy in town 80 bucks to hook it up to my metro network again. (@$$Hole i know..) So im trying to find a way to avoid a hard reset. i had this problem about a month ago and i used sk tools clean up and it started working perfectly again. this time sk tools didnt help.

Are you on a stock carrier ROM? If your on a custom ROM hard reset it, but before doing so copy down all your epst setting or use QPST to make a QCN back up. Then hard reset and load any cabs your using back to the device and you should be good.
No need to pay someone to do it. Your ESN's already in Metro's system So at the most you'd need to do would be load the PRL and make a few pst adjustments and with a QCN back up all that would be done for you.

horndoctor, I made an account that reffered to you getting me to join ppcgeeks. which is true. But, I need ur help. If there was any quick wayy to relock my vogue, how would I do it? I need to get off of Android and back onto WM6 on the stock rom for sprint. Step by step instructions would be VERY helpful and appreciated.

First, download this stock rom:
ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Whosd...ogue%20ROM.exe

Put it on your PC somewhere like My Documents where you won't misplace it.
Then put your Vogue in bootloader by pressing and holding the power and camera buttons and pushing the stylus into the reset hole.
Toward the bottom it should read Serial. Connect your Vogue to your PC with the USB cable and then where it said Serial it will change to USB.
Then click on the stock rom exe you downloaded and flash the stock rom. That's about it.

Now, you really don't have to re-lock to return to Sprint for warranty replacement or repair but if you really want to re-lock it then you will have to download the .40 unlocker here:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/Im...e_unlocker.exe

Then flash it from bootloader as described above. Then after you finish flashing the .40 then flash the stock rom you downloaded.
Give Whosdaman and ImCoKeMaN some thanks for posting the rom and unlocker!
Good Luck!
