New Sprint rom on Alltel

I've tested it quite a bit - it does work with skipped customization. The GPS on the other hand does not get a lock. It want's to, by that I mean GPS View finds the sats and loses them repeatedly. Something is missing (ppst update? I don't know)

Here's what I've done so far. On the shipped rom, ran GPS viewer and tried to get a lock for 5 minute.

Loaded OMJv2 for Alltel - no lock. Ran the 040108 PPST update (fixing the SID number) and no lock. it wouldn't even run for that matter.

Any ideas? the new radio seems to poll the GPS receiver more often. If GPS Viewer is any indicator, the sat receiver numbers start flashing at least twice as fast after about 5 seconds of use. but it never locks

update, no luck getting gps to lock on the new rom/radio. I even did something stupid andlet the customization run on the new sprint rom. That messed me up good. Had to go back and reload the released Alltel rom, then start all over. fun.

edit: still had problems getting the data service to run. a call to tech support andI discovered the carrier customization changes your login info under the security setting of EPST. once that was fixed, I was back in serive.

No locks for me under 3.43 radio, stock or even using OMJ's new 3.03 custom rom. Has any other Alltel user gotten it working?
