    Accidentally bought rooted phone...

    Well, long story short I didn't end up unrooting it. I went ahead and just tried activating it. Virgin Mobile's website gave me an error message and instructed me to call customer service. It was late and their call center was already closed, so I just went to bed and figured I'd call them in...

    Accidentally bought rooted phone...

    Thanks guys, it sounds like unrooting and going back to stock is my best option at this point.

    Accidentally bought rooted phone...

    Accidentally bought rooted phone...

    Okay, a few days ago I bought an HTC Evo V off Amazon (from a private seller) and it arrived this morning. Low and behold there was a note in the box mentioning that this phone is rooted (this wasn't mentioned in the listing), and trying to activate it via the Virgin Mobile website just gives me...
