Can someone please help me?

I followed these instructions and the phone to show up on a com port. However. Whenever I try to upload the prl, it keeps going back to Virgin Mobile. I check the prl on the phone and it doesn't change.

Everytime I try to make a call it keeps saying "the number or code you have dialed is not valid"..

Any suggestions???

Please help.

Thanks

Has anybody had any luck with making this stick?

Matt,

I didn't see that anyone suggested anything to get your phone back into operation, but I believe the same thing happened to me. To get mine working again, I dialed up ##786# then selected "Reset Default". Enter the security number and proceed. This will bring the phone back to it's factory settings, but you'll probably have to reactivate the phone too. Unfortunately, you'll lose all contact info, etc.

Good luck,

dmb

I got the method to work! (DM Mode at will now), but haven't been able to do anything useful...#777 returns "invalid number".

Greetings everybody!! Sorry I've been offline for a bit, a friend got a couple of new laptops I had to tweak the crap out of. For the record, Windows 7 blows! Think I'll be getting one of these quad-core laptops myself soon as I can. Assuming OpenSUSE or Ubuntu or something supports them. Anyway, it seems no one quite knows why this thread got hidden. Apparently it's stickied now, so woo-hoo!!

Thank you to everybody, and you are all very welcome!

bigsupersquid - Good stuff!! I would LOVE to see a thread about all the new stuff you've discovered! If you are taking the time to back up all of your folders, you might want to look into the hidden folder issue. I'm not quite sure if anyone has solved that yet or not. I keep dishing out the info I've got at hand, but not too many people report back what they've discovered. I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of the complete file system, if you're taking the time to back it all up.
