Incredibly well written Post Kiawud!
Where were you when i started my upgrade a month ago?
I have had a long and arduous effort trying to make this upgrade, but i am very glad that i did.
i intended to write an upgrade post as well since there is so little Qwest specific upgrade info out there, but i still haven't got my mogul working 100% (plus you beat me to it...swEEt!)
I did the same as you. i let the sprint customizations run in the 3.35 upgrade which hosed my data, but i had my MSL and still couldn't edit my epst.
i am wondering if i could have called qwest and got everything working without the downgrade, but i was worried they might catch that i had upgraded, so...
i finally got my downgrade to work. ( i used the SD method, left Olipro 2.40 in place, loaded my 2.13 rom, then loaded the 1.40 radio you gave me a copy of.
my radio install failed and my phone started continually rebooting after a few seconds of trying to start booting and no amount of reloading the 2.13 radio or 1.40 or 1.47 radio would get it out of this reboot scenario.
i finally unpacked all the files from the sprint 3.35 rom into my SD card and renamed the sprint .nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh and ignored the special_4350.nbh file.
i had to pull my battery a couple of time for about 20 seconds because the phone did not want to see the image file or load it from the SD card. finally it began to load and i was able to get the 3.35 rom installed into the phone.
From here i did not let the customizations run, but simply loaded the 2.13 rom and then the 1.40 radio again. each time i pulled my battery for 20 seconds and they both finally loaded.
I still had no data or the ability to edit my epst settings, so i called Qwest who had me dial ##970697# which allowed me to edit the msid and mdn #'s.
this got my phone working and my data working as well.
i did not check to see if my wifi worked, but assumed that it did.
i then reloaded 3.35 using the activesync connection and the sprint .exe file, skipped the "tapping of the screen to setup" after it booted the 1st time and went straight to DCD 3.0.1
this time everything went perfect, except i still have no wifi.
turning on the button and/or enabling wifi from the comm manager do nothing.
once i solve this problem, i should be in the same boat as you and be able to assist others getting their mogul's running the way they should and not the feature and stability limited way qwest is allowing them to remain.
