I am facing this problem in HTC Rhyme purchased from this forum.
Let me clarify that phone WAS in perfect working condition with reliance CDMA - prepaid, voice, sms, data including evdo.
Phone was working quiet slow since last many days & hence, I decided to factory reset. (same thing I had done in past with my HTC inc2).
After pressing volume down button, I pressed power button to go into boot menu. From there , I just selected factory reset & phone went into reset mode. After a while, I was presented with "updating software from verizone wireless" screen & then, when it started, it gave me a message that it is in roaming area, I clicked OK. Then, it went into registration with reliance with a message that registration with reliance is failed, kindly contact service provider.
Now, my reliance connection is no more active on it & it shows a roaming signal on network bars..
