PRI Unchanged after flashing Offical ROM

[ephone1]

I flashed my wife's phone right after the latest Verizon ROM came out. Then, after getting tired of waiting for Alltel to release a 6.1 ROM for my phone, I finally took the plunge and cooked up my own ROM. After getting GPS working on my Alltel, my wife decides that she wants GPS too, So I read all I could about the GPS fixes on this board and xda-developers.

Here's the weird the part - I checked my wife's phone, and she still has PRI 1.35_002. I am not sure why, because the customizations executed. After the upgrade, the phone was unable to make calls (message said it was not authenticated). I did *228, but still nothing. I called Verizon, and after some time on the phone, the tech said that he basically completely reset the phone in his system. My understanding is that shouldn't have anything to with the PRI.
I am assuming that with this PRI, I should be able to load a custom ROM and get GPS working? Or is there something else besides the PRI that I missed?
