HTC PPC 6800 (Alltel) reflash with current ROM image?

Hi,

I'd like to start over and re-flash my phone with the current ROM available from Alltel. If I do this, will it "wipe" it clean? After I upgraded to the current ROM image after having the phone about a week, I had a problem with the "roaming" icon being on all the time. Turns out there was a config problem and Tech support walked me through the fix. Something about epsd or some such thing and a value not being correct and needing to be corrected. Can anyone tell me how to get back there so I can make sure that I know what the value is prior to "re-flashing" and thus not having to call them and get them to help me fix it again?

Thanks,

Pete

Me, "Yes."

Me, "Click Start - Programs - File Explorer - My Device - Windows. Scroll down in the Windows file till you see the EPST and click it."

Well I do appreciate the reply but I think I ran into an issue. It appears that the ROM won't update itself. At least it wouldn't let me do it. Has anyone else been able to overwrite the ROM being at the same revision level?

Prt7u, if you want to re-iniatilize the phone, why don't you try a hard-reset?

It will erase all programs in the phone, even your contacts. Bake sure you backup all your contacts and important files to a pc or microsd before doing this.

for the htc 6800 it's the buttons combo (hold them): left and right soft-keys and single click in the reset button.

Nickel Thanks for the reply. I did end up doing just that. But, I want to be able to relock and reflash the phone with the current ROM from Alltel that is currently available.
