Lost on Verizon to Alltel upgrade

[MikeP]

Okay, I was given a Verizon HTC Touch by a friend that switched to AT&T. I did my research, found the stock Alltel ROM and unlocker. Upgraded the Rom and called Alltel tech support to manually program and activate the phone. It works but it says I am roaming all the time, even in my home area. Also my email won't work and when I try to update roaming (*228) it says, "Welcome to the Verizon network".

Being that I am a noob at this I am pleased I have made it this far. Can anyone tell me what I have missed or overlooked?

Many thanks,
Mike

Well I found out what the problem is. The PRL is incorrect. I need (according to Alltel tech support) PRL # 30031.
Surely someone here has run into this problem unless all you Alltel people aren't using the internet. Please help.............................

Well if I keep on going I will have answered all of my own questions. I found the PRL and updated it. Now I can tower update on Alltel but still can't connect to the internet. I keep getting "Incorrect name and password" even though they are correct. User is phone number@alltel.net, Password is "alltel".
Anybody.....anybody?

You HA Shared key is probably wrong, which I don't know how you can reset. I did it by using ##786 and then doing a restore but not all roms support it.

I am having the same problem with internet. I did find that to activate it you can dial *22801 here and it dialed alltels system instead of Verizon. Try *228 (00-09) to find how to update roaming and activate your phone. Im still waiting to find out if you can fix the internet and MMS. If you find out PM me with the info.
