"I am just looking to activate my rooted phone. What is the easiest way I can do that? I am not returning it or selling it."
If you have a rooted phone with a custom ROM and you are trying to activate it with Sprint. These instructions will allow you to do so.
1. Download this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/86749-gingerbreaked-stock-vd.html
2. Place it on your phone in your nandroid folder.
3. Boot into recovery (optional: make a backup of your current custom ROM)
4. Restore the "stock" backup you downloaded from the link above. (should be last on the list "I think" and dated 20110522)
This allowed me to call Sprint and get my phone activated. I then restored my "custom ROM" backup and that brought my phone back to it's beautiful rooted and custom ROM state that it was in before.
