Ok, so I flashed the rom with no real problems (one interruption & a successful resume). The update wiped out my MSL and MSID, which I restored manually via the service programming menu, so voice phone works again. Data is another matter. I've been at this for the last 6 hours approximately, with no success. It appears the update wiped my powervision settings. First, my M.IP Default Profile username used to be <esn>
@sprintpcs.com, but it has now changed to <esn>@hcm.sprintpcs.com. Second, M.IP Customer Profile 1, which formerly populated with
username@sprintpcs.com, and my powervision password, and a Primary and Secondary HA address (ip addr) is now blank accross the board. After getting voice settings fixed, and finding that the system-initiated IOTA continued to fail with error 1012 I did a hard-reset, and this time I skipped the Sprint customizations, and went directly to trying to input my M.IP Customer Profile 1 settings by hand. After tinkering with this, I still cannot get online, and the phone is no longer attempting to initiate IOTA programming. I've gone to Sprintpcs.com and reset my PowerVision password, which should force a remotely-initiated IOTA, but thus far the change does not seem to have taken. I'm about to tear my hair out, as I NEED data access on a daily basis, and I REALLY don't want to flash back to a prior ROM (nor do I know that doing so would necessarily allow the phone to reprogram automatically anyway). I copied my primary and secondary HA addresses from the default profile, and I validated that I was correctly entering my vision username and password (by looking up the username on sprintpcs.com and resetting the password there). HELP!!! I really, really don't want to have to call Sprint, both because talking to tech support is a long and painful process, and because I don't really want to have to explain why my data settings are FUBAR. Anyone with any bright ideas on how to fix this, your input is welcomed and is greatly appreciated.
