- Grabbed ppst...cab from my other Sprint Touch (I would have this by default if I kept the sprint leaked rom on my touch)
- ran ppst.cab and then the resulting ppst.exe
- pri flashed from 1.37_002 to 2.03...
- got preferred roaming and the roaming triangle
- couldn't make a call or data (which was expected)
- got the Sprint version of epst.epst and loaded on Verizon touch (I would have this by default if I kept the sprint leak)
- change epst.lnk to call #786 and ran it to get to reverse logistics screen (you can do this another way by getting ghetto's epst.cab file or by simply leaving the sprint 3.37.15 rom on your touch from early on in the steps)
- performed menu:reset
- Verizon Wireless came back as my provider but couldn't make calls (a key) or data (ppp error 11).
- called Verizon. They did 3 important things to get my voice and data back up:
- Reset my a-key (#2539 and they reset it on their end)
- Completely removed my data profile from their system and re-added it.
- dialed *228 option 1, *228 option 2, *22890, *22899 (90 may be redundant because it's basically *228 opt 1 - 99 is different because it specifically reloads the data provisioning)
- phone and data now work fine.
- had to re-setup gpsmode=4 and location=on and gps settings in system.
So the big question..... does gps work better?
Not sure yet, but I don't think it made much difference. I'm going to test over the next couple of days right next to my Sprint touch (which still has 2.03 pri on it and is working blazing fast with 8-12 sats) and report back.

Okay, I was just about to try this, but I'm feeling nervous pulling the trigger. Here's what I've got right now:
* phone unlocked with 2.31
* flashed with Sprint 3.02
* Used kitchen to put on a 3.02
Right now the phone & data work great (with Rev A). Gps is slowish mostly, although today I can't lock at all, even after pulling the battery
My plan was:
* swap back to the 6700
* obtain PPST.cab from...somewhere...and install
* swap back to 6900 and do *228 stuff
My questions are:
* I can't find a copy of the ppst.cab
* I thought I had read the swapping the phone out first will elimnate the a-key thing becuase *228 will reset it after the esn change
* If this fails, how does one roll back
Thoughts? Again, this is on Verizon.
