New Alltel 3.04.671.2 Rom Released, Rev A enabled

[mardukeme]

For those that have allready flashed and are stuck would SuperCID the phone be an option? It might help bypassing the carrier check that the Software upgrade checks for.

Also I remember back in the Apache days, One of the Cellphone Operators had released a software update that updated the bootloader. Which prevented people from flashing back to the custom roms. To circumvent this issue we used mtty to help revert back to a previous bootloader.

Good news all, thanks coke for all the work you're doing.

Has it been confirmed that this rom gets us no where nearer to GPS?

Just Curious...

Keep up the good work,

BTW I am on Alltel. And I can also confirm there seems to be some software compatibility issues now. MacFlo does not work on the updated rom. I flashed my phone twice only loading MacFlo each time to confirm this. The creen goes dark and launches apps but the cube faces don't load. I'll post this to the MacFlo thread as well.

Also, each time I flash my phone, my SID is being dropped (reset to a 1) and I have to manually fix this. Seems to be a bug in the rom

Is there any chance that's because it's using new display drivers???

I'm having the same problem. It also wouldn't work correctly with Icube or Vistacube. And couldn't uninstall them. Had to hard reset.

You can't SuperCID the phone without flashing to a HardSPL, which I think you can't do without being able to boot the phone.

Although a thought I had is, if you can't flash an old OEM ROM because the original HardSPL was overwritten by the new SPL and CID locking the phone, shouldn't you be able to go back into bootloader and completely flash the new Alltel ROM, THEN boot the phone, write HardSPL back into it, and then flash an old OEM Sprint ROM back into it?

I don't think its possible to flash the complete Alltel rom due to the fact it checks the CID to see which carrier the phone belongs to.

just thought i'd share:

I broke apart the new nbh and took out the special radio file. I then broke it apart and took out the spl, leaving only the radio.

After flashing only the radio, my device is deinitely Rev. A enabled. My speeds on my phone have never been anywhere close to as fast as they are now. PLEASE NOTE: flashing just the radio (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU REMOVE THE SPL FROM THE RADIO NBH FIRST) will cause your phone to say "NO RADIO" when it boots. BUT the phone will still work just fine. It has great signal and my internet is 5x faster than it was (based on the speeds i'm getting at dslreports.com/mspeed)


I've successfully flashed it back to the stock radio with no problem.
