Sorry, i don't see any fix, other then hard reset.

Musta missed that post. Oops! Im usually pretty goood about searching. Thanks for the relpy though. I dont mind hard resetting at all. Ive turned into a flash junkie Juat wasnt planning on doing it today!

OK folks, I made sure to read the ENTIRE thread but still have questions before attempting this.

Here's my setup: latest Sprint MR official ROM, v 2.01.651.6, a few TF3D alterations but nothing heavy, and most important - VZW radio 1.03.09 (the only one which fixes some of my issues). I don't know if I had the newer PRI with the ROM flash and then lost it when putting the VZW radio back on or what - it's still at the oldest version 1.47_003.

Can I apply this PRI update without screwing up something? Will it get along OK with the VZW radio?

sometimes (rarely) when u install a new pri, things go a little screwy. Doesn't matter what radio you have. You shouldn't have any problems. But, as a couple people have pointed out in this thread, there's a small chance something could go wrong and you'll just have to do a hard reset to fix it.

Always have that in mind. I will backup to be safe. Thanks.

Well, it worked just fine - but oddly enough brought me back to PRL 60652 (I had 60654) - so off to update again, either OTA or manually, and then who knows if it'll all be worth it.

Got the new one OTA by using the Updater. OK, what next...

Update: this was definitely worthwhile. FieldTrial shows I got a boost of a few db, and I need every point where I live.

One question: should the PPST file be deleted and/or the cab uninstalled once it's done? I think the cab put itself in the Remove Programs list as just "Customization Tools."
