It erased my phone number out of the ROM. It required my MSL to fix this. If you don't have your MSL you will have to call Sprint and do some 'splainin on how it got borked, and asked them to give you your MSL. Run this upgrade without your MSL at your own risk.

If you have your MSL, go to the phone dialpad and type ##MSL# for example, my msl is 587224 so I would type ##587224#, select edit, then change your MDN and MSID back to your phone number. In rare cases, the MSID is different than your phone number, but you should try your phone number first.

If your MDN and MSID are not set correctly, you will not be able to make/recieve calls or text messages. The internet will work after it does an IOTA regardless of the MDN/MSID settings, so don't let this fool you.

Also, for those having trouble with GPS, I don't belive this is true GPS. Type ##33284# (debug). This is the radio debug screen. In the bottom left you will get a menu to see the signal strength, authentication status, data rate, nearest tower, etc. of the 3 radio bands; 1x, HDR (EVDO), and GPS. I have good readings for 1x and HDR (EVDO), but nothing at all for GPS. I left my phone outside for 20 minutes and it still is not reading from the GPS. So I do not believe the true GPS reciever has been activated.

On my 6600 and 6700 the GPS signals would populate, I have never had them populate on the Titan, even now with this ROM update. I would guess that Google maps is reading from sprint's location information. I will also try this when I go out tonight, maybe driving around will give me better GPS signals. Please verify and post if you can get a raw GPS signal or not on this screen.

Hope this helps some of you,
