It wasn't, you were ninja'd

I just checked and the NAI is correct in both section 1 and 2

Edit: I was ninja'd

have you tried running the activate app on stock rom?

Call VM and tell them your phone won't connect, sometimes they have to manually reactivate you.

 

[dudejrs]

I also tried that. they reset my 3G and had me reset my phone number and MIN from the phone and still nothing

try doing the zv9 update and if you still dont have data run the activate app on zv9..

 

[dudejrs]

I tried that too. I been trying everything I could possibly think of or find online but still no luck. Please continue with any other suggestions

 

[Thewraith420]

.....confused and pretty much out of ideas.. i'll let you know if anything else comes to mind...

Edit: so your on zv9 now then....?? use sammys guide to revert/update your phone to the original firmware (zv4 or zv5) and try the activate app again sort of drawing at straws here now..

 

[sammyz]

Try flashing another ROM, if that doesn't work, get back to stock ZV5 with this: http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-all-things-root/571325-using-lgnpst-1-3-full-stock-zv5.html and go to a VM store saying that you bricked your phone, and you unbricked it with some online research, but your data no longer works.

[dudejrs]

i have no idea what the original software was..I bought the phone in feb 2011

There's a command to find out through terminal but I don't remember what it was

 

[dudejrs]

Ill try v5 and see what happens

 

[Thewraith420]

V5 will work with either screen anyway. V4 only will work with original v4 phones

Edit: its the reason v4 hasen't been posted.

 

[dudejrs]

while activating a 1x logo appears for a little while then it just disappears and i get an error (06-07-5920)

 

[dudejrs]

"When you get this error "Service is not available Erorr: 06-07-5920 Contact Virgin Mobile at your Service 1-888-322-1122" open your dial pad and dial ##847446# after you finis a menu will come up select edit and a box will open enter 10 zeros in MDN and 10 zeros in MSID then select ok the phone will restart then try activating again, that work for me. Hope ith helps you."

i just googled the error and found this responce... it actually did work for the OP from the thread it was in however this was for the intercept.... possibly worth a shot tho...

just remember what the mdn and msid are now if you try it
