Thanks for that... :)
I just got off the phone with sprint and what I've come to find out is that the Sprint Navigation 2_1_40_0.cab that is clearly listed everywhere to be for the TP2, is not offered by Sprint for the TP2... They use TeleNav_Sprint_PPC_5.5.18.cab as per Sprint Advanced Tech Support... So now I got my navigation working via TeleNav's navigation, but it leaves the unanswered question of why is there a Sprint Navigation going around for the TP2 if it doesn't work for the TP2 and I got no answer on that other than Sprint doesn't offer it or recommend it... But the other question I couldn't figure out an answer to is why did I get an email about 10 minutes after I got off the phone with TeleNav saying that "Your service is extended to 2010-05-04"..?? So I guess it's another call to TeleNav to figure out what's going on here, but I just wanted to note that it's not a MightyRom issue because UnitMonster is having the same problem as me and he's using Caulkins TP2 ROM...

that's good to hear you at least got it to finally work for you. that's kinda crazy what sprint tech support told you regarding the version 2.1.4. reason being that sprint phones are sold with that version installed. and they sure as hell have not done any OTA updates.
which leads me to believe that what elmerfudpucker said is correct. that they roll out their phones with the 2.1.4 version and if somebody have the patience to raise a howl, they will roll out the 5.5.18 version. the real telenav application even though telenav says it's a no no. but at least sprint wouldn't have to deal with you until the account expires again at telenav's end next year.
have you gotten a chance to read through the thread in the link i posted? there are two ways they talk about to prevent your telenav from giving you the "account expired" message. there's also a cab file for the file switchings needed to be done. but make sure you read through the explanation of both solutions. because even though they do the same thing, the cab totally over-writes your sprint nav files with some name switching (to make your phone think telenav is still sprint nav). and the manual one gives you the option to just copy and rename folders. the cab was created by DomSim. the solutions are in pages 2-5.
