Correct. It's like reloading windows. But, someone said before that doing a backup from stock(6) and then loading it to (6.1) isn't a good idea because files are saved in new locations. That's like taking a backup of XP, loading Vista, and then doing the XP backup. Good luck with that...

I've noticed that some of the names of things have changed. So I would agree that file names and locations have changed as well. I would just install the rom (or wait for sprint) and then just install from scratch. I did it this morning and it only took me an hour. I had all the cab files to install in one folder. Drop them all onto your SD card at once and then install away. You should be done in 2 hours tops.

PPST.zip = a ZIP file that contains PPST_2.04.cab

Copy the cab to your file and run.

execute PPST.exe in the windows directory.

yeah im eventually going to have to install this anyways. just sucks becuase it took me 2 days to get my pda the way i wanted it. i can just reinstall everything fresh, no big deal. BIG question is, will i loose my contacs list ? that i can't losse.

I have decompiled the new rom & checked the mxipupdate_oemoperators_101.provxml, both "Sprint PCS" & "Phone as Modem" are in there, but as bedoig pointed out, the phone as modem is being forced.

Just go into HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings

change ForceCellConnection to "Sprint PCS"

soft reset

the cab should also be in \windows, it's called sprint-navigation-htc-touchmr-2.0.15-norereboot.cab

I'd like to because then i can just restore with sprint backup, else I can't, right?

yes....upgraded radio, PRL & PRI

Windows Mobile 6.1 has threaded messaging... and this is WM6.1.

On a side note, I'm not going to flash for a while until ICS among other things are sorted out and a kitchen is released for it. Can someone with the new ROM tell me if the standby issue is resolved with GPS? I believe it is the case where you have it activated (say on Google Maps) and push the power off button while it's still on. Maybe after about a minute turn it back on. Is the GPS still active and getting locks?
