Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Using the Alltel ROM, I finally got my GPS to lock while I was in my car, but I must say, its NOTHING like using my BT receiver.

While driving, its like the phone can't keep up. I was using iGuidance and the little symbol would quit moving, then after driving about 1/2 mile further it jumped and caught up. I was locked on 3-4 satellites. I never saw that with my BT GPS receiver.

I'm about to try the 6.1 Sprint ROM, but I can't test the driving until later.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

anyone try using the sprint navigation.cab ?

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

can you post your steps in getting it to work? i have tried the 1 2 3 files and then installed the HTC_GPS_Enable_for_Titan_3.35.cab then also installed HTC_QuickGPS.CAB and still says scanning GPS in GarminMobileXT! and the weird thing quickgps won't update at all starts downloading and then says failed to download

thanks

i got it to work on the alltel rom. i am going to flash back to 6.1 and run the sprint navi and see how that works

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

JD's 6.1 does not have everything for gps.

For example, look in the registry at hklm\software\htc\suplgps

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

My internet doesn't work on JD's either....it didn't work on the Alltel one either :(

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

I hope you did not let the customization run during the Alltel rom installation. If so then your going have to flash back to the Official Sprint rom, and let the customizations run. Then reflash the Alltel rom without letting the customizations run.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

if you know how to use QPST try going to the MIP and edit the profile there to sprint's .. it might help..

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

I did the first time I installed it (since I was one of the first to get it installed, there wasn't a warning about that).

Any ideas on what it changes to disable the internet? I would think you should be able to change it back, maybe with the ## codes.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

so just to recap where we're at:

has anyone successfully flashed the alltel ro, got the REVA/gps working and then flashed JD's Sprint WM6.1 rom and have EVERYTHING still work? I want to flash but I really don't want to lose WM6.1.....

thanks!

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

I can confirm GPS worked on the Alltel ROM. I can't verify Rev A since my internet didn't work at all (apparently its because I let the customizations run).

Just flashed to JD's ROM, I will let you know what I find.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

thanks, waiting (not patiently).

and I am a little confused. If this turns out to be a complete disaster for me, can I flash back to one of the sprint WM6.1 roms I have been running for months or can I not do that since I will have used the 2.31 unlocker already??

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

wow, look at the progress everyones made in the past 2-3 days.. very impressive and this leaves a huge egg in sprints face.. they've been crippling phones forever and its about time the community shows em a thing or two.

with that said when can we expect a real nice base rom 6.1/reva/gps for sprint or separate carriers??
i see right now we got a few test roms going around but im not ready to risk anything

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

GPS and Rev A work fine with the Alltel Rom.

As I said a couple of posts up, JDs rom is still missing some registry stuff (at least)...

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

try putting in your username and password under the data connection settings and see if that helps.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Can someone with working internet on Sprint go into ##DATA# and give me some information from there?

If you have AIM or Yahoo IM, my s/n is mindfrost82.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

anyone notice that the Alltel Radio with thicker bars didn't carry over to JD's rom...? i think that might be the problem... maybe the way it was packaged? i can't seem to get REV A. and GPS to work with JD's rom... who got it to work???/

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

That's not related to the radio, that's the ROM. Sprint uses the thinner bars and other carriers seem to have the thicker bars.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

JDs rom is windows.nb only, and does not contain all the gps stuff!

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Can someone post a step by step guide including links to files for installing the REV-A and GPs on a Sprint Touch.
Sorting through 44 pages of this is extremely confusing. I certainly do not want to brick my phone, but I am about creaming in my jeans to get GPS.
Thanks, and all the work done here is much appreciated.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

ALSO the 2.31 Unlocker...

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

so are you suggesting running files 1,2,3 & then the gps.cab again after installing JD's rom?

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

If you still need some info look me up under henderjr on yahoo msgr.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

seems like alotta work, i think ill just wait until someone makes an official rom to flash lol

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

For what it's worth, I was messing around with the Alltel's .nbh to cook up a slightly different ROM.

I unlocked using 2.31, then ran the Alltel exe. I don't live in a REV A area and I didn't mess around with GPS yet.

I extracted the Alltel .nbh from the installer and prepped it. I added a couple OEM's, Build-Osed it and Built a new ROM. I didn't change the page pool from the default of 12. After installing, everything works fine (except I still don't live in a Rev A area and I will try to get GPS working soon).

So just in case you wanted to try to build your own ROM, it seems to work fine with the new unlocker (2.31) and the kitchen tools. I imagine we will soon see a 6.1/Alltel hybrid for Sprint that allows REV A, GPS, and 6.1.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

It doesn't seem like more work than a typical custom ROM installation. The only difference is installing the GPS files.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

It's probably still too early to tell, but can anyone comment on storage card stability with the new Alltell rom? I know the corruption issue has been driving a lot of people crazy, so some new card drivers would be awesome. Is there an issues/observations thread on the new ROM yet? I didn't see one.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

##DATA# does not work, and I forgot which file lunched it manually.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

can we revert back to our custom WM6.1 roms we have been using if this does not work for us or do we have to wait until sprint releases something "official"???

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

I just got my internet working on JD's ROM by going into Phone Settings, Services, Internet, Get Settings, then running a client-initiated IOTA.

As someone else stated though, it doesn't look like JD's has everything to get GPS working. Using a task manager, I can see the GPD device, but not the service :( (even after running the 1,2,3 files and the gps cab).

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

This is exactly what I did on my Alltel Touch.. The only other step is turn location on... After the last reset, I launched google maps, and it immediately went to seeking sats.. About 3-4 minutes later it had me locked within about 15 feet. Since then, I have reset the device a couple of times just to test, and google maps acquires a lock in less than a minute now. Windows live works as well..

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Everything working for me on the Alltell Rom (Didnt use JD's), Internet seems faster but I dont know how to check.....GPS locks in fast in all programs I've even used INAV. Thanks to everyone for their help....
on a side note...I had the swirling effect on my slcd creen before this which now is completely gone...which is extremely wierd

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Garmin gps's use a different protocol then most gps's - that might be your problem..
-mark

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Looks like I'll be going back to the Alltel 6.0 ROM since it doesn't look like GPS is working on JD's.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

Easy way (somewhat) to check Rev A is to connect a laptop via BT ICS and go to speedtest.net

If your upstream is faster than 100/200 or so, then you're on Rev A!

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

I posted earlier while tether I got over 500kbps upload!!

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

So has anyone gotten the GPS to work using JD's rom from this thread? I've tried and can't make it work at all. GPS was working with the altell rom, but not with JD's...

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

No. Nobody has gotten GPS to work on JD's ROM. Even Mindfrost is going back to the Alltel ROM.

Re: New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled
 

finally.. it's working!!
