So my girlfriend's iPhone 4S is with Sprint. It's been hacked to all hell and back and has been running with no issues since we hooked up. It's on iOS 5.1.1.
So just the other day, the data went out on it and it's basically a glorified iPod with talk/text (no web unless on wifi). I've tried the turning on/off Airplane mode off and it doesn't reactivate the data. She even called Sprint and they said the data should be working as it's on her plan. So against my better judgement and prior to being able to clean it up, she takes it to the Sprint store and of course they look at it and say, "we can't touch this since additional software has been ran on it".
Before running a full restore to a 5.1.1 firmware, has anyone else had this issue with a jailbroken Sprint iPhone? Reason I ask is because they told her that "especially with OUR iPhones, jailbreaking will break the device". While this sounds like complete BS, I don't know if there is any validity to this as I've always had AT&T and AT&T iPhones.
