I like helping 
No problem
Well in most cases you are voiding your warranty when rooting. Basically you may not be able to get your phone replaced if you brick it because of flashing a bad file or something.
Sprint's official policy (regarding a damaged rooted device) is to basically lecture/warn on the dangers of rooting but then open a support ticket and repair or replace just like any other device.
Also a plus about sprint is they offer unlimited data and don't throttle your data speeds. Though, big deal if your data doesn't work anyway, eh? Kinda moot.
From what I understand, AT&T and Verizon are a lot more strict about rooted devices... Plus they cap your data speeds and AT&T doesn't offer unlimited data. Not sure about Verizon.
I'm on wifi most of the time so I've let it slide but I can hardly take a phone call at home.
first,we might should take a peak at the rest of your info. its peculiar that youd have a cdma device with a cid of HTC__001. it may just be that the cid getter app is picking that from build.prop or somewhere else if youre running a custom rom based on an international vartiant.
if you can do the following,and then paste for us the output(it will also get adb/fastboot set up for you):
first download and install these drivers: revolutionary drivers (mirror)
then,download this small file:
mini-adb.zip
-unzip it,and place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive(not inside a folder)
-open a cmd window(with win 7,click start bubble,type "command" or "cmd" in hte search box)
-now change to your mini-adb directory(assuming you didnt chagne the name). type in the black cmd window that opened on your PC:
cd c:\mini-adb
-pull the battery in your phone for a few seconds. hold volume down,then power. hold them both until you see the white/colored writing hboot screen
-select "fastboot" from the hboot menu with the vol rocker/power button
-in your cmd window type:
fastboot devices
it should output your phones serial number. if so youre good to go. if not,youre apparently having a driver issue. i usually recomend these drivers from Revolutionary: modified htc drivers download and install the drivers(you should just have to run that file). afterwards,unplug your phone,plug it back in. make sure its in fastboot. as soon as you get a result from "fastboot devices" your ready to procede to the next step.
-in your cmd window,type(or copy/paste,is much easier):
fastboot getvar all
-copy the info that outputs here. right click in your cmd window,click mark,highlight it all in white. hit enter. paste the info here. it will help us know which ruu for you to run.

that is extremely odd it is like that.if its a refurb device,possibly someone in its past has rooted and changed it
at any rate,looks ok to change it,i just wanted to be 100% sure that you didnt actually have a gsm device or different model.
all you need to do,is put the phone into fastboot and open the cmd windlow like above. then just enter the bold commands(blue is just extra info):
fastboot oem writecid SPCS_002 (thats one underscore,cid is always 8 characters)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (or you could alternately use fastboot getvar all )
verify that your cid has changed. you should be good to go now to change the hboot.
