    They will not activate flashed devices since they sell their own branded devices now.

    Found this and read that some were successful restoring there internet and other data related features. Read through the thread. There are some simple and some complex fixes. You could always PM some of the people in the thread. By the looks of it they would be happy to help you. Good luck!

    Sounds like the thread about Metro not activating flashed bb's was right. Boost 8330 is now 150 bucks. Paid 249 for mine a year ago. It has been worth every penny. If you sign up for shrink it after 6 on time pays it will take 5 bucks off. Turning a 60 dollar unlimited plan to 45 dollars after a year and a half. Also check the How to Forums, but it sounds like Metro slammed the door on flashed phones. Sorry, wish I could suggest something better.

    You need to find a carrier that will fully activate a flashed bb. Then hope they have a full data plan for a reasonable price. Then you will have to have it flashed to that carrier. Happy hunting!
