So, your best bet in general with the AKU3.3 stuff is
(1) really good backups before you go...
(2) make sure you are running the latest and greatest offical version
(3) if possible, when flashing, don't allow the carrier extended_rom stuff run when you hard-reset after install
(4) check it out, see if it seems to behave correctly - you *may* need to install some of the extded rom cabs just to get it to connect to evdo, it really depends on the carrier. If so, avoid "PP_" or "PT" ones at first, and see if you can get it up and running with EVDO access to test with the minimum (probably need to install Cert_ ones, Customize, IOTA, PP_IOTA, and RTPlugin_CDMA - but your files may be named differently!)

If it does work, you can try installing the ones you didn't until it fails, so we can find the bad one(s). If it does not work even with the minimum carrier stuff, then we're kinda SOL.

Looks like its something in the VZW extended rom. Went back to 2.2, worked perfect. Went back to AKU 3.3 did not let external roms install. Still good.

Then installed only the following extrom cabs:

CAB: \Extended_ROM\VZWProvision_Signed.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Apache_VZW_MMS3.0.6.24_20060124.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Customize_105201.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VZWProvision.PPC400_2577MTM.CAB

The customize is the one that sets up the EV-DO. Phone averages 80mA while idle on EV-DO. Much better.


Still wish we had the idle arrows on the EV-DO connection like in the old AKU. But oh well, it working great now.
