**teradog** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2009, 12:48 PM

A Sprint TV cab that works with old AND new style windows, Windows Phone 6.5 (6.5x) which has bottom right, X button & bottom left, Win-key/start button for a Touch Pro using Sense (TouchFLO). 23xxx or 28xxx included.

*** PLEASE if you know of or find a newer Sprint-TV cab either post here with a link or the cab itself, so we can keep everyone up on the latest... helping others... THANK YOU ***

Free ESPN & Disney channel (live) to all Sprint data customers.
Complete 'Basic' channel list here:
Sprint TV - Mobile TV from Sprint

** Don't get confused: Sprint TV & the TV/Video out cable have NOTHING to do with each other **
I've included the info below due to the massive amount of confusion on the subject!

Search terms (sprint tv, sprint_tv, sprintv, sprinttv, sprint-tv, sprinttv.cab, sprint-tv cab)

Touch Pro (TP1) SPRINT TV:
*1.7.1.89014 that works on VGA (TP), is the same WVGA (TP2) cab* Works fine on all ROMs, you may just have to run the sprint provisioning cab that came with your ROM build / flash,
Landscape isn't working on TP1 (you can watch TV fine in portrait mode... (up & down vs. sideways))

"1.7.1.97359 works on the TP1, and it does work in landscape mode using the accelerometer but the only downfall is it doesn't stretch the video to fullscreen while in landscape mode." (thanks)

Touch Pro (TP1) Video OUT: (often incorrectly called TV out)
Use your multi adapter that came with it (USB male with female usb power, 2.5mm & 3.5mm), plug in any video cable (has to have 3 rings on it: gives you 4 contact areas, 1. ground 2. video 3. left speaker 4. right speaker not in that order), sometimes switching the red & yellow RCA side into the TV. (depending on the cable you use)
**Does NOT (WILL NOT) work with Sprint TV!!! (everything else including YouTube)
Read this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=59236, check out pic in post #308ish. May need to run enabletvout cab in post 1, thanks to techfury90.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TP2 SPRINT TV: All cabs below work on TP2, you should see the welcome movie. After the initial install & you may start Sprint TV, if it "gets stuck" on the menu, & you can't select the softkeys.. (TV, Radio,..), simply open the keyboard, go into landscape mode & then the menu (soft keys) will work, you can even then watch back in portrait if you want.
SOFT KEY ISSUE FIXED ON NEWEST VERSIONS
TP2 Video OUT (called TV out): Does NOT work with Sprint TV!!! (everything else including YouTube) Any of the 4 methods (A-D) described below:
A. Take TP1 3 way adapter (power, 2.5mm, 3.5mm) from my old Touch Pro. Cut it open and cut the blue wire (pin 4). Then plug in any 3.5mm video cam cable (see above), sometimes you have to switch the red and yellow wires (plug red into the yellow port & vise versa). Phone switches into Video (TV) out mode automatically. Also known as "knocking out the pin" trick. Where you break off pin 4 of the male usb. (accomplishing the same thing)
OR
B. The "tape trick", cutting a super tiny piece of tape & taping pin 4 of the male usb side. Hard to do with big hands! Plus the tape comes off. YouTube videos if you google.
C. Use the same TP1 3 way adapter & any video cable (3 ring, see above) sometimes switching the red & yellow depending on the cable, THEN run the enableTV out cab below (should be named videoout.cab) This is also called the registry hack, but someone made up a cab (many of them out there) that when you run it either makes the reg mod or installs a program/toggle that makes it for you.
OR
D. Buy the HTC TV/Video out cable or a knock off like this: HTC Touch Pro2 TV Out Cable AC T110 #73H00274-00M - eXpansys Inc & it'll work for you. (tons of them out there, check ebay for cheaper ones)

** With some really old Win 6.1 ROMs & very old Sprint TV cabs, you could move the error box out of the way & watch Sprint Tv with video out, but that has long since been corrected.

** If you are loading a custom ROM, you should load/run the sprint provisioning cab for YOUR ROM. (You don't need the Mrx cab unless running his ROM, it has been reported to mess up some peoples data connections)

Let me know if they don't work for you, because they do work & will for you too! I can help, but i'm a little slow getting back to you!

1.7.2108582 is the newest one! (NOT Tested yet on TP1) Someone please test?

Good luck. I asked the same question a few weeks ago but didn't get a response... The newest TP ROMS seem to break Sprint TV but there hasn't been a fix for a while. I assumed that most of the Sprint TV gurus jumped to the TP2...

On a side note, I actually did recently upgrade to the TP2 and the SprintTV fix does work for the TP2. And honestly, I think Sprint TV has improved. Everyone used to ridicule its lousy image... and for good reason. Maybe my eyes are getting old but to me the picture quality has really improved.

The cab doesn't require a hard reset, only if you installed one of his earlier provisioning cab. When you run the cab it will not hard reset your phone. Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't work for the TP1. Good luck in trying and let us know if it works, cuz if it does I will be running it on my TP1 tonight.

Mike & x10, you both have TP2's. Did you both run the MrX cab? Or just the new TV cab??? If you ran the mrx, could you please explain the stop provisioning part? (exactly how & when)?

thanks

I ran the version cooked in Mighty Mikes rom. The way it worked is, first flash the rom. I did the hard reset after it was done. I let it run the setup all the way then went to system folder (MM's ROM) and found the provisioning cab. I hit the SPRINT one and hit commit. The phone installed a cab and reset. Its all done, no hard reset or anything like that just a regular softreset. Then I'm good to go MMS works and sprint tv. I haven't had a chance to try it on TP1 yet but will tonight.

Are you running 2.1 or 2.5? What Sys?

When I was using my TP I could never get it to work with Energy's 2.5 or Indagrooves. Both those ROMs were the more "finger friendly" ones with the Start menu on the bottom. That might be one of the issues.

Thanks! Yes this is only an inquiry for:
"make the Sprint TV work with 280xx or 235xx ROM's?"
(EnergyROM, raidzero, Indagroove & XDA's Vetvito's (my current ROM) and Calk's before he got a TP2)
Calk used to have a fix, but hasn't worked for me in quite some time.
(Prior to the "more "finger friendly" ones with the Start menu on the bottom.")

Thanks for the response. Ahhhh yes, the cooked in version. Hmmmm, well every time I run Mr X cab, it screws up my data & none of my progs can connect to the internet (as a few have reported). I even installed the "sprint cabs" cab that does the Sprint Profile & PRL... but since it can't connect to the internet... guess I'll have to hard reset again...

Not to be negative, but... I wonder if all the "100%" magic isn't in the new WVGA cab file itself!?

Thoughts?

(Not brave enough to PM master Calk or Mighty Mike)

I think the problem is that you are running cabs designed for the TP2, so it's not surprising that it messes up your data. Unless a guru steps up there seems to be really only 2 options

1. Go back to a ROM that works with Sprint TV. There are plenty but they just aren't the latest and greatest

2. learn to live without SprintTV, until you have an opportunity to upgrade.
