Sprint PPC-6700 cannot data roam

[Tomn8tr]

Hi all, I had to replace my Sprint PPC-6700 because it accidentally dropped it into the toilet at work, yep... bad day!

My new PPC-6700 cannot connect to the Internet while roaming at all. My old 6700 connected great at all of the places this one refuses to. When I am in digital roam and try to connect to the Internet, I get an error the "The answering modem has disconnected". Another thing that is happening is that when I call *2 I am notified my phone needs an "Important Update". The message says the update is occuring, and then says the update is complete, but nothing at all is happening. Calling *2 again just repeats the process eternally.

I activated this phone myself at Sprint's site and everything seemed great until I tried to get data roaming.

Voice calls, voicemail and text messaging all work while roaming though.

Here's the stats on my new 6700:

ROM Version: 3.60.70 WWE (Kirvin Clean and Simple WM6)
ROM Date: 08/31/07
Radio Version: 1.43.00 (Also tried radio 1.41)
Protocol Version: SNAZ-40306
ExtROM Version: 0041
PRL Version: 20232 (have tried several PRLs as well)

One solution found in another thread that was tried, but did not help was:

I have also tried several PRLs manually, a manual IOTA refresh,and read countless threads.

Can anyone help me with this, I really need that data roaming!

Thanks so much!

-SOLVED-

The problem was my PRI version. I was at 1.17_003 and needed to get to 1.18_003.

The solution was found on this forum at:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ternet+roaming

I don't know how I missed that, but if anyone else runs into this, there you go...

I think what happened is that I went right from the "out of the box" ROM to WM6, skipping the intermediate OEM ROMs (which would have updated my PRI).

Anyhow, thanks all,
