I'm not sure what's going on here... but this is what I've done so far:
- flashed Sprint leaked... skipped customizations
- opened File Explorer, went to \windows -> show all files
- installed the PPST cab
- ran PPST.exe
- it said "Failed to backup EFS" and rebooted.
- downloaded the Sprint_PPST.cab from this thread
- installed, it gave me a bunch of warnings saying it's already installed... i continued.
- it said install of the CAB failed.
- I ran PPST.exe again. This time it worked and rebooted.
- Here's the very interesting part::::
When it rebooted I had the new PRI and everything still working (phone, network, etc)???
WTF?

- I flashed a PPCkitchen ROM, then hard reset before the new OS loaded.
- Google Maps still shows the same number of satellites as before for the same position (3-5). Any ideas or comments?
If I leave the GPS for a while I do get 6-8 sat locks (GMaps)... I haven't seen that before inside my home. I'll test some more outside tomorrow.
