Reverting back to Stock Verizon will break Data

I wanted everyone to know about this. I was having a problem with receiving flix messages (was getting 10pics instead of an actual video), so after no progress, a different ROM i decided to go back to the stock Verizon ROM. After I did that, my data is basically broken. Every time I put in my password and try to get on the internet it says my password is wrong. I checked and the password is blank, so i put it in again and the same thing happens. Tried flashing a pre-GPS ROM and didn't help. I had Verizon "reset" my Data and that did not help. It seems as though reverting back to the stock radio somehow has blocked me getting data now. So be warned, if you go back to the stock vzw rom, you will loose data and have to get a new phone (sending me one out Monday).

Anyone else have this experience?

Try this thread; apparently others have been successful.

Verizon - Restoring your xv6800 to a Stock Verizon ROM

edit: sorry, I see you have posted the problem there also. Good luck!

yeah same experience here, like i posted. i think there should be a disclaimer on the thread, something like "only use this if you are sending it in for repair/refurb."

ohh, and my refurb has a dent in the side, and an old battery case. cheap a** phone companies...rawwr

I had the exact same problem I think it has something to do with the a key in epst before it was greyed out after it was blank and editable

Wait, you reverted from a gps rom to a pre-gps one? I'm pretty sure that doesn't work, didn't ImCokeMan make a big deal about it and even unsticky the relocker?

you have to be able to get back to the stock rom, what if you want to send it back? everything else works fine just not data

I had data after going back to the stock Verizon rom. I used the file I posted in the other thread.

so you're telling me you were running a 3.35 rom, and reverted to the vzw 2.09 rom?
