This rom flashes the special 4350 nbh first if you don't remove it. That doesn't have an OS and won't boot. Then it would load the voguimg file, but it becomes CID locked and the alltel rom won't load on other carriers.

Well hopefully someone can RIP the stuff that the sprint users want out of it at sometime. Also Hopefully Sprint releases their update soon.

Ah, I see. Being CID locked wasn't a problem with the Mogul because there were old ROM versions available for every carrier.
I've always wondered why there wasn't a way to cook ROMs with the correct CID and have it work. HTC ROM Tool has CID textboxes, but even putting the correct CID info in there doesn't fool the CID locked SPL.

once you change the CID the rom is no longer signed thats another change in the SPL patches. The SPL itself isn't carrier specific though, it just locks it to the phone you have. Additionally this 2.xx bootloader won't allow you to load pre 3.xx roms. That is why rock can't get back to a stock sprint one. (assuming he did run the full exe from sprint not a dumped/unsigned one) I sent him a PM to see if there is anything I can do for him but we'll see.

PS: I already have a no-SPL version of this rom ready and will post the link when i get the new 2.xx unlocker tested. At that point it should be good to go, but remember same GPS no reverting issues as the titan.

ImCoKeMaN you are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work on this site. I'm so excited. And I don't even have a Touch, LOL! My wife does though, so I get to play with hers. She will actually be excited about this if it turns out we can get the GPS working.

Can you explain this to "non-tech" people? Specifically the second paragraph?

yep, if youre paying the $7/month then you have the full package. the only time you need to make an insurance claim is if the phone is lost, wet or physically damaged beyond repair. otherwise your repair center will repair/replace it for you at no cost. if you only have the $4 equipment replacement program (erp) however, you have to make the claim

So ok, all these threads posted all over and I'd like to see a nice easy post on how to make the GPS work. Anyone have ideas? If it takes a custom rom, which? And won't a custom rom remove the upgrades from the patch, or do you just go back and reflash the new radio that someone posted? I have found a post of the "missing files" with the exception of qccmquery.dll. So far no dice loading the other two but then again, I don't quite know what to do. So any help for the noobs?
