I have S-off, I went from the .0 software version to .2 software version and then applied the 2.2 update.zip file through stock recovery (I unrooted). After applying the 2.2 zip, my phone is asking me to activate and it is unsuccessful every time and routes me to Verizon customer service. They are closed right now, but I'm planning on calling tomorrow morning if all else fails. Anybody know a fix and, if not, should I be worried about my phone not activating because I wasn't meant to get 2.2 yet?
 
Not sure I understand what you mean by the phone is asking you to activate. Can you give a little more detail about when/where this is happening? You may just need to do a *228 option 1.
Sorry if I was being unclear. Thats what I meant, it was asking me to activate and *228 would fail everytime last night. Woke up this morning and *228 worked with no problem though. I was getting nervous
