Educate ME plz - Former Sprint Mogul on Alltel Network, and other stuff...

[kurioslives]

Thanks rainfreak for the information!

Here is my ppc 6800 device information.
ROM version: 2.14.671.3
ROM date: 08/20/07
Radio version: 1.40.00
Protocol version: ACAAAM-4070
Hardware version: 0003
PRL version: 00704
PRI version: 1.24_003

Windows Mobile 6 Professional, CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)

By my estimation, I have pretty old software compared where we are now.

Question: Could my digital roaming be a result of Alltel ROM with Sprint radio ROM? I don't know if my problem is a "hardware" controlled function or it is controlled by software. Has anyone seen or read any posts of people who had a Sprint Mogul converted to work on Alltel Networks? Do they know anything about this "Digital Roaming?"

Here are my thoughts, any tips/info would be greatly appreciated...

1. Load the new Alltel ROM from HTC

I couldn't find what is all included with the Alltel ROM from HTC. I've read that this should include the IPL/SPL, Radio ROM, and OS ROM - not the ExtROM - which is that where the CID,MSID, Home SID, etc. are stored? If not, do I need to reconfigure those settings after flashing to the new ROM?

This phone came with the CID changed for alltel, so I am not sure where that is exactly... I didn't see anything in the EPST menu (what does EPST stand for? I have heard of QPST, what does that stand for and why don't have QPST?).

2. I tried reading about GPS instructions, but I haven't quite got that good of a grasp over the various programs used in that process....

3. Eventually WM6.1 will come out and I'll be doing this all over again anyway. Seems like others are using customized ROMs to get WM6.1 working, is this correct?

I appreciate any help!
Thanks,

PS
I've read some good threads in this forum, someone ought to create a thread that has ALL the many good guides people have created so that new n00bs can learn things clearer... sort of like a "hand-book" and maybe used later for a wiki.

Maybe there is a place that already has that info, I just probably missed it I've read a lot on XDA, but it doesn't dispell all the questions.
