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???

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.

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.

I have alltel and am about to flash. Anyone have those three files for GPS and can walk me through how to add them? I read on xda that the GPS is not working, though there was not much more info than that.

Also, can I go ahead and flash now and add them later? Never flashed before, only had the phone for a month and haven't been hacking at it or anything, so I'm definitely new to this. Though I am pretty computer capable! hehe

Someone hurry up and give me some info cause I am in a hurry to do this on the quick-fly!!!
