does your phone work now?? try to open your gmail - it will probably ask you to set it up and sync. if you're still having problems, i would bump for assistance from the rescue squad, or maybe some other kind soul will help out. i've gotta leave now - best of luck!! post back once you've had success...
For one, i'd be nervous highlighting for vzw that you've voided your warranty. Second, you'll get better and more knowledgeable help from the rescue squad! Your call, tho...
