Yes you are correct im using the Droid 1 ( 2.2 ) I did not attemp to flash the phone yet, because i am still able to Send and recive txt msgs. And i was affraid flashing it and wiping it would leave me stuck at the " activation" screen and i wont be able to txt anymore. And my phone is important to me its my only means of communication where i currently am. Im tryint to find out if it IS a garuntee that A wipe will fix this problem, But before i do attempt the Wipe, im going to take my fone to a verizon store and see what the options on warrent replacement are. BUt if all fails then i will be wipeing the fone and tryin the methods you gave me. I apreecite the info i will be tryin this.
Because a flash will not fix hardware issues. Sbf only fixes basic software glitches cause mainly by rooting. If you never rooted your device then a factory reset will fix stock software issues.
