Verizon Wireless is unable to authenticate your phone
Solution #1 - Call Verizon:
Dial #8899 from your phone, tell them you had to do a Hard Reset on your phone.
They should issue you a new A-Key or re-authenticate your phone over-the-air (OTA)
Solution #2 - Reactivate:
Use the online activation to activate an old phone, and then activate the xv6800 after.

This is from the site you linked above. Give it a try it should get you up and running again.

so just do the #8899 and tell them i had no signal at my house and i clicked #1 to reprogram in stead of update my area and the phone stopped working?

no just tell them you did a hard reset

ok, i called them they made me type in a 26 digit key. i click on the cab file before i did that as well. since in the info it didn't tell you what to do with it. didn't seem to do anything

What cab file are you talking about?

[LilSnoop40]

The ones that they tell you about in step 4. i have noticed that when i go to txt messaging i don't see mms or sms like before. i only see txt messaging and outlook. i don't need out like but the other 2 will be good

thanks

Step 4: Installing the Carrier Cab

You may turn on ActiveSync's 'allow USB connections' options at this time
Using ActiveSync or another method, copy/install dcd_Titan_Carrier-Verizon.cab onto your device
Soft-reboot Windows Step 5: Reprogramming and Authentication
Dial *228 to (re)program your device afterwards
Test outbound calling. For Auth. Key errors, see

Ok, since updating to the new flash and radio. the only things i see different is when i click on the Verizon Wireless icon it does nothing and when i click on unread messages it shows sms/mms, outlook E-mail and setup e-mail. i am fine with it just saying txt, sms and mms. how can i do this please?
thanks

Are you using HTC home?
If so just click the center icon under the clock. It will take you straight to sms/mms. If you have an email address through yahoo, hotmail or any other provider you can set your phone up to get the emails from those accounts. Did you get your phone to authenticate?

The verizon wireless icon does nothing on my phone either. As far as I can tell it is just there to tell who the provider is.
