I need to activate my Optimus S. I've downgraded from CM7 to stock 'MVC' to do so but it's stuck on the 'Hands Free Activation' pop-up. It says, "Contacting network..." and never goes anywhere. Is there something more I should have done besides wiping data, cache and reflashing? Oh, btw I did restore a nandroid backup rather than reflash a stock rom. Could that be the issue? I've been messing with this all night and can't get anywhere. Even Sprint didn't know why it wasn't activating.
Please help, desperate!
What is your baseband version? The baseband (radio) needs to match the ROM version. So if you are on VC you need a VC baseband or provisioning wont work.
If it still wont work, just call sprint and tell them and they will give you the MSL and guide you through programming it manually. Be on stock rom when calling, the secret codes don't work on CM7.
