any help would be nice....

Sounds like somewhere in the process you wiped the device via recovery and lost the radio. You will have to flash a known working ROM that you have from a previous backup or find and flash the radio.img (or tar file) via Odin.

Well, it?s not root that's the problem. Just start over. If you don't have a good nand backup go here.

Follow Mr Skunkape's method(s) in the OP. You'll be fine. The method you'll use to start the flash will depend on the recovery you have.

If you still don't have phone number etc go to settings / activate this device. If that doesn't get it try *2.

Keep after it. You'll get it.

If you go to settings>about device>status>and you don't see your MEID # or IMEI you are screwed if you don't know what they are, this hardly ever happens, but it can happen. You would then need to take it to Sprint. Other than that you just buried something and it can be fixed. Just remember ROMs have nothing to do with your Modem, so you have to flash them separate. The easiest way to fix this is by flashing a android backup.

You have to flash a tw ROM to update the prl and profile. There is probably a temporary boot also for cm.
