ive got the "coke 0.4.0" to pop up on my phone when im installing my new rom. but every time it starts to put it on there, my phone un-syncs, and in about 15 seconds i get "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION". I read the readme, and restarted my device and ran RUU again. then i restarted my computer and ran RUU again. both times it does the same thing. i have even uninstalled and reinstalled activesync. it still does the same thing. any pointers would be really appreciated.

now my phone wont even sync up for some reason. im starting to think its an active sync problem. i dont think its uninstalling completely. i'll uninstall it and there are no profiles left in documents and setings/microsoft/activesync/ or something like that. but after i reinstall it, it still recognizes that there are 2 profiles on there from last time and i should delete one of em to make room for the new one on the computer. it doesnt make any sense.

Is there an actual "easy" way of getting the rom from the device?

I have BELL CDMA touch, not a sprint one.
the use Mbote sort of has one, but not totally sure on what it is exactly.

I'm curious as to try some of the roms, but not curious enough to go ahead without a backup plan.

nvm, should have done a search first.

thats really strange, I havent seen this before. you are starting out from the tricolor screen then right? without activesync recognizing the device?
from the tricolor screen is where you start to run the ruu correct?

Does anyone know if it's possible to flash an nbh directly from SD (as with the Titan)?

Any word of advice on how to get SOME of the missing Sprint stuff back after a 6.1 flash would be greatly appreciated. After much reading and research last nite, I'm still at the same corner on Confusion Avenue. I did learn that the Sprint stuff is put on the phone after every hard reset via a suit of cab files and there's a script named 'Run Sprint_TSK.Ink' whose job it is to run and install all the cabs and plugins that make up the famed Sprint Junk files. I've isolated the identity of some of these files, but when I tried to find them on a fresh Touch (the wife's), they're nowhere to be found. I did notice that right before the script completed it's job of Sprintizing the phone, 'Removing...?.?.?' was the last thing that flashed across the bottom of the screen. So it's possible all the cabs were removed AFTER they were installed. But what about the plugins? They should still be there,.... Right???

I just wanna get On Demand, Sprint TV, msn Messenger, and Sprint Mail running. It would also be nice to get that stupid 'Date/Time' readout out of the space where my battery status readout us to be. Get those done and I'm in heaven.

Someone earlier said that the ONLY reason to go through this was to get the benefits of threaded SMS,... we it seems to run faster under 6.1. Maybe just in my head, but it's my perception so far. Zooming in IE ain't bad either.

Thanks for any help!

ericpd here's a thread to get you started, I know it may not have everything you asked for but it's a decent list of the 'stock' sprint stuff.

Here is the link to TV

On Demand and Messenger you can actually d/l by browsing to the site on PIE.

Hey thanks BeBot. Actually, I'm reading thru a rather long thread right now (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17301&page=2) that is answering a lot of my early questions. Don't know why I didn't stumbel across it last nite in my searching.

I tried finding Messenger from the Windows Mobile Extra site and got a 'no go' I'll try it again now. But thanks for the pointing finger towards On Demand and TV!

Also,... I'm beginning to find out that the 6.1 Rom I used is rather old. So I'm now reading up on the 107 build, but having trouble understanding kitchen and basket (basekit???), and what thier roles are and how they fit into all of this! Didn't see those terms when reading up on the 100 build.

Gotta say I'm rather enjoying this!

I just finished a CAB for Windows Live/Messenger that came with the Sprint Touch. I had to soft reset after installation, but it seems to be working. I was able to log into Instant Messenger and send/recieve messages.

I can post it if you like.
