ROM1 is the one to flash to get the proper OTA updates including but not limited to the latest wimax. If you flashed the "normal" way through Recovery and you didnt already have the proper OTA updates you didnt flash the right ROM.
ROM1 is in the PC36IMG format. It needs to be placed on your SD card (named properly) and as long as your Nand is unlocked the file will run. Dont know how you rooted but if you did Toast I AND II you are all set.
Read my post HERE to see how to verify you completed the root process.
Thanks for the quick reply winmo..
Ok, your right I went the ROM2 v1.7 route. I looked over your post about confirming I had full root when you check the hboot for the .76 and not .79... Well I have .79 which in your posts indicates I'm not fully rooted. But then I found another post (can't remember now where??) but it indicated another methoed to check for proper rooting. If I could load shell and get a # as a prompt, that meant I was fully rooted... Well, I followed that route... Cuz I got the # once my phone requested SU permission, I just granted it and the shell switched from $ prompt to # right away.

The only reason I didn't want to do the PC136IMG.ZIP and erase all my data and have to redo all my downloads and what not.

Question... Can I do the ROM1 PC136IMG.zip and not loose my present setup. If I'm currently v1.7 and everything appears to be holding and not crashing, do you think I will have to do davik and cache resets?? I really don't want to go through the hazzle of reinstalling all my stuff again.. I've done it 3 times already getting it just right... If there is no other way, then I'll just wait it out cuz my phone is really running GREAT.. I have everything updated except for the wimax radio. If wimax only deals with 4g, then it really wont make any sense for me to upgrade at this time cuz Miami doesn't have 4g yet..

Please let me know if doing the ROM1 I can avoid deleting and having to reinstall all my apps and setup again..

Thanks again for the quick reply..
