HTC Mogul Sprint ROM 2.17.651.0 - feedback

[ViPaDawG]

i'm not having any roaming issues (i did the switch to roam only, and it searched for a while, and then locked onto a 1X signal, problem is, i'm already in a 1X area, so i dont know if it actually locked onto anything or not. then i switched it back to automatic, and it worked, no freezing no slowdowns), and i am on PRL60610, and that's what i was on, before i upgraded, and i DID NOT let the customizations run when i installed 2.17. so i'm not sure what that is, but i am using radio 1.47.01, and works great for me!

Does anyone know if I can run a backup, switch to the new radio, then restore from backup? Or must I switch and then reinstall everything?

Sprint, HTC, Alltel, and all others should get it right before the product hits the Market period. It's my prediction that Sprint and HTC will trake a huge financial hit over their recent product flaws.

Wow... you've independently determined from my suggestion that I'm a "do good/proactive liberal". You must have infinite wisdom and insight into the human condition </sarcasm>

Nowhere in my original post did I condone Sprint's actions in releasing a defective product, but somehow you concluded that.

Sorry to disappoint you, but my suggestion was simply made from 25+ years as a hardware and software engineer, and experience for what it takes to debug and fix a product. More information is always better. The fatal flaw Sprint made was in its QA process and not including enough (if any) real-world users in that process.

Have a nice day

You can. But dont do it. It will restore the old operating system back to the phone. I did it by accident with the 2.16ROM

well i haven't had any roaming or kybd popping up problems and i've kept my phone on roaming ever since i put the new rom on..

Can someone offer more help on installing 1.4 radio? I can't get hard-spl to run, and can't log on to the ftp. Also where is the ROM upgrade utility?

Navigate to the "QLINKS" tab towards the top and choose "Open FTP Site"

You will find everything you need there.

What I mean is to save all my files in a 2.17 ROM environment to backup, then install the 1.40 radio, then restore the backup.

Gentlemen, with all due respect to your individual perspectives you both will agree this is not the thread to debate perfect world/ideal situation conditions. We can start another thread to discuss the philosophy of market expectations and manufacturing abilities.

Anyone who wants to help develop a formal troubleshooting/reporting process which will benefit everyone feel free to PM me with your feedback in regards to developing such a process. We can then start to clearly identify issues and attempt to resolve those which are 3rd party app related.

Imagine what we can do with a clearer idea of the root issues......maybe even get them addressed! At a minimum we can internally contribute to resolutions from internal programmers and custom ROMs.
