Iphone 4 un-flashed by update 4.2.8

[kingofcarrots]

I updated my iphone to 4.2.8 and jailbroke the device before installing the official release. The funny thing is that after I was done installing it, the iphone reverted back to the way it was before I got it flashed. I updated to 4.2.7 and everything was breezy, the phone worked with metro from the jump, but with this one, it erased all my settings. I've tried plenty of methods to get it back on metro, but the furthest I've gotten is to installing prl 2004 and dialing *22804, but after that I download the roaming lists and I get a message saying that my phone has been activated and that it is up to date and then nothing. Now, I've tried making calls out of it, but I get the "msn 02, the call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again" I've tried putting a 1 after the area code and nothing. Everything is correct on the dialing. I can call metro service, but I can't call no one else, or text. Can someone please help me?

does your meid show up in the about menu? and have you checked your acct?

The MEID does show up on my menu and I haven't checked my account as it is not set up online. I have, however, called customer service and they have no clue on how to help me. I've visited a retail store and they've told me they can't help me with flashed phones.

Also, whenever I call the *22804 number and go to activate, it says that my phone is already active under a different account and that I have to wait 60 days after my bill is due, to reactive it.

call and check the meid on your acct.sounds like an acct prob. let us know.

Okay, I'm the phone with them right now and the MEID that they gave me is completeley different than the one registered on my phone. They can't help me because they don't have any software to use on the iphone as of now, is there any way to do this myself?

The same thing happened to me, it seems like the meid changes every time you update your phone(correct me if im wrong) But You Have to get the new meid on the system and it will work again
