Here is the thing:

Running the .bat file pulls up the dos prompt that walks me through the steps. Upon initial press any key command, it gives me an error of cant load the VDM IPX/SPX support... than it opens up the UI program...

When it writes to the phone, the status bar completes from 0% to 100% in 1 second... I know that something is not quite right here...

The funny thing is that when I do the Power + Camera + Soft reset, it shows me an SPL of 2.31... The first time I believed it and I flashed a cooked ROM to the phone and it bricked it.

I loaded the proper RUU on the phone and loaded it to the card and bootloaded it on the phone with errors for some reason... I was able to load a Shipped full version of the software of the SPrint Software back on the phone, however, the SPL still says it is at 2.31.

I dont know what the problem is here but it seems that on the surface the SPL is spoofed to 2.31 but in reality it is still the original one. I think that it has something to do with the original dos promt error code of cant load VDM IPX/SPX support...

I hope someone who is a little more knowledgeable than me can chime in and give their input on this issue...

Just realized that once my phone enters the power save mode it will not come back... have to soft reset to get it back on...

Help me. I got a problem while following it.

When I see this:
"Your device should now be in 3 color screen showing the Soft bootloader
You must now disconnect and reconnect the device from your PC
"

I did disconnect and reconnect, but ActiveSync doesn't show connected.
What could be wrong here?

Then Rom Upgrade Utility is launched, and I cannot see the current version number. Blindly flash it and it only takes less than 1 minutes to reach 100%. After hard reboot, it's still the factory ROM.

I must hit every problem on this forum....

I followed the steps twice, (or maybe three times) and still see 2.00.

Now after Power-Camera-Soft Reset, I see 2.31Coke and it stays on the color strips screen. Soft reset again, it boots into Windows Mobile but the screen becomes black, and cannot be turned on.

So many details are missing in the instruction.... Sorry to say...
and I'll try flash the test ROM directly... Hope it works.

All right, I loaded the test ROM

3.02.651.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_08 23

But I don't see additional radio or GPS.....

So my SprintPCS Touch is special....

It's still SPL-2.31.Coke though.

alright touchuser, i already replied to this in the vogue 3.02 gps kitchen thread, but thought i would put at least part of the reply here for others to see here:

#1- Backup.
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (for gps roms)
#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- allow reboot, then navigate to \windows and run ppst.exe
#7- allow reboot, then check device information in settings to ensure a ~2.03 pri and ~60612/60610 prl.
#8- flash to desired rom.
#9- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#10- download and run cab from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=139
#11- allow soft-rest.
#12- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#13- allow soft reset.
#14- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

Thank you very much for the sum up. This is indeed what a newbie needs.

So far, seems I am still on the right track (except for losing my contact list, not big deal).

#1- Backup.
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (for gps roms)

Yes I did this and the 2.31.Coke shows up only after Power-Camera-Soft reset. Actually I am not sure if this unlock is must coz somebody mentioned the sprint leaked ROM will unlock it

#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- allow reboot, then navigate to \windows and run ppst.exe
#7- allow reboot, then check device information in settings to ensure a ~2.03 pri and ~60612/60610 prl.

I am here currently. PRI is 2.03_003 AND prl IS 60612. So I am all good.

#8- flash to desired rom.

So the OMJ rom is a good start? I'll try it and following steps.

#9- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#10- download and run cab from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=139
#11- allow soft-rest.
#12- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#13- allow soft reset.
#14- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

Update: OMJ rom works pretty for me. I have not installed PPST.exe and GPS works... well. I didn't count how long it locks the satellites.
Maybe OMJ should include PPST in his ROM.

Love it now.
