Latest Summary:
I am currently running the Sprint 3.35 ROM on a Qwest issued Mogul and, so far, everything is working (Internet/Data, GPS, Phone, Text/SMS, Email, Bluetooth, etc.).
For those interested, here's how I did it:
Upgrading from Qwest 2.13 --> Sprint 3.35:
===========================
Info/files needed:
--------------------
- MSL/sublock code for existing Qwest 2.13 phone (call Qwest)
- GetSPC.exe ('MSL Generator.zip')
- Olipro 2.40 bootloader ('Hard-SPL-MFG.exe')
- Sprint 3.35 ROM ('RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04 _4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe')
- DCD's Qwest 3.01 (optional - 'DCD_3.0.1_Qwest.exe')
Most of these files can be found in this thread:

Method:
---------
- Step 1) Call Qwest and get the MSL (aka 'sublock code') for the EPST.
- Step 2) Dial "##778#", select 'Edit' and use the 6-digit MSL code.
- Step 3) Copy
ALL the info from all pages/tabs of the EPST
*
- Step 4) Install Olipro 2.40 (via 'Hard-SPL.exe')
- Step 5) Install Sprint 3.35 ROM (via the Sprint 3.35 ROM from their site)
- Step 6) Allow phone to customize under Sprint
**
- Step 7) Use "GetSPC.exe" to obtain new MSL code
- Step 8 ) Dial "##778#" and new MSL code to manually edit the EPST settings (pay particular attention to the "M.IP Customer Profile 1" and the HA/AAA passwords)
*Not all the EPST info is nec., but it's nice to have it any way. What are really important are: MSID, MDN, and the NAI, HA/AAA Addresses and Passwords from the "M.IP Customer Profile 1" tab ... FYI: The passwords only show up in the 'Edit' mode of EPST.
**When/if the phone is customized via the Sprint ROM, it will corrupt some of the EPST settings. Despite this, the phone should still send/receive phone calls and text messages. To enable internet/data (which is what the IOTA would normally do), we have to manually modify the EPST settings in Step 8.
Using DCD's Qwest 3.01 ROM:
===================
Of course, you can avoid a lot of hardache/anxiety by simply skipping Steps 6 - 8 and installing DCD's Qwest 3.01 ROM immediately after installing Sprint's 3.35 ROM (if you go this route,
DO NOT LET THE PHONE CUSTOMIZE AFTER THE SPRINT ROM INSTALLATION). Doing so should result in a fully functional phone (working internet, phone, gps, etc.) that does not require much, if any, EPST modifications.
For those curious, DCD's ROM has some interesting features, such as:
- It's relatively bare (so it doesn't include a lot of the 'fluff' you find in the corporate releases ... such as 'trial ware')
- It's Windows Mobile 6.1 (I believe Sprint's 3.35 ROM is still just 6.0)
- It has a different dialer which seems to have bigger buttons and simpler interface
- It can group text/email messages by thread giving texting a sort of 'IM' feel by showing all the related messages at once
In any case, I hope this helps any fellow Qwesters out there who are tired of waiting for Qwest to catch up to Sprint. I'll continue to play around with the Sprint installation and post if I have any problems or issues, but so far, I must say it's great having a working Bluetooth and GPS capability
Feel free to email/pm me if there is anything I can do to help
