I have tried so far and have only had limited progress. The first thing I note is that the carrier name is
Sprint<SPACE>PCS<SPACE><SPACE> on the PPC-6800 (Mogul). I have looked at the setup binary and it looks like they have a list of supported providers listed. This tells me the carrier check failure is occurring on the phone side not the server side--its just goofy you have to enter your pin for it to say this. I too tried the reg hack but not only does it not persist across reboots, but it also isn't used at all by Goodlink. You can check how GoodLink sees the carrier string without the pin by using Options, Handheld Information in the GoodLink setup. In theory if we can change the phone's carrier to say a supported carrier name listed in the setup binary in a way that GoodLink will use, we can install and it may not check the carrier ever again. Sprint is in the list of carriers, but not the way the Mogul shows it.
I've also tried editing in the Mogul carrier string into the binary but unfortunately don't think I'll get far since the binary is signed and detects its been tampered with.
Guess its the waiting game. I think the carrier name, as used by GoodLink, is probably going to be in a provider password protected programming area. Wasn't able to find any memory editing programs for PPC either (start the setup, edit the strings of providers in memory to match the Mogul).
Only if I had known that GoodLink wasn't quite supported yet before I stopped using it on my PPC-6700...
