Root Verizon can not authorize this device?

[YankeeDudeL]

Guys, I'm cross-posting this like again. I have to take the phone in by tomorrow, and really trying to avoid unrooting the device. I'll quote my message from the Droid forum.

Hey guys. I'm having some issue's with my g/f's DInc. Yeah, I know, this is the Droid forum. But I've posted this over there and I didn't get one single reply, and to be honest, the DInc owners have never been the most knowledgeable sort. So I'm hoping that maybe someone here will recognize what the issue is, and perhaps it's not so much a phone-specific issue and doesn't get moved to where it was in the first place.

Anyway, I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote over there. Here ya go.

"It's a never ending string of probs with the DIncs on my line. My g/f (who has officially proclaimed hate for her phone and root) dropped her phone into my lap last night and simply said "Fix it."

Apparently it kept rebooting and then wouldn't turn back on. I did a battery pull, left it out for a couple mins, reinserted it, and then needed to activate it (I also had to do this to my mother's DInc a couple months ago, which is not rooted). Ok, phone is back online, but now it's not getting a 3G signal at all. I switch airplane mode on and off, nothing. I turn WiFi on and off. Still nothing. Nothing I do get's it to come back on. And now today, she tries to make a call, and she gets a message from Verizon saying that service is temporarily disabled. However, she can text.

Now, I've noticed issues dropping 3G with my Droid, and my mother has had trouble getting on the internet. I know Verizon has had trouble with their 4G network, but I haven't heard any mention of 3G. Also, the last update they rolled out saw 4G go to every market surrounding us but ours. And I have it on good authority that 4G is coming to my area by this summer. Perhaps the issue is related to Verizon prepping our towers for 4G, and the 4G issue is reflecting upon us? Perhaps that's too much wishful thinking.

So, anyone got any input?"

If this prob persists, I'm going to have to take it to Verizon, and I'll probably have to flash back to stock, which I was trying to avoid. Anybody here have an answer, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Looks like it got double posted so I am posting same response in both threads:

I think there should be a setting that you can check that turns on the 3g data connection. I had to do this with a friend's Droid 2 when she got it off of ebay. It worked fine except for the 3g and once I checked the box it worked fine. Not sure where it would be on a Dinc but it is generally in the data or network menus.

As for the tower problem you might try and call Verizon before taking it to a store that way you can see if it is them or you and prevent having to flash back to stock.

Also I know this is probably obvious (and no insult intended), but did you try *228 then #1 to try and re-activate it and then *228 again and option 2 to upload the new towers?

That is all I can think of right now to suggest.

Yeah, I cross posted this here as well. I wasn't getting any help at all in the DInc thread, and to be honest, they don't have the "power" users the Droid forum has. Granted, it's slowed down a lot as new phones have come out and people have moved on. Back when the Droid first came out, man, this forum was booming.

Isn't that the truth. I guess it is just those of us who are dedicated to or D1. That and we are holding out hope for another D1 kind of device. Sadly I don't know if we will ever see the collection of people with the same device again.

I would call the D1 a game changer, but with the wide array of phones now available I doubt we will see the same thing occur again.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Back then, it was simple, the Droid was the phone to have. Now, there's just so many options and ways to go. Sure was fun while it lasted.
