I think it was after you flashed the alltel rom the phone reboots and you align your screen then it pops up a box saying running customizations in 3 seconds. That's when you were supposed to press the reset button.

Three words : Use GPS Viewer!!!

I have been bummed all day cause I installed the Alltel ROM and JDs ROM yesterday and all I was getting was some aGPS location crap which was wayyyy off...

So tonight I installed the Holux GPS Viewer ( Found here... ) and saw all kinds of different satellites but no locks... I literally walked out into the middle of the street and BAM!!! In the status screen of GPS viewer the red outlines change to solid blue and all of a sudden I automagically know where I am... Well at least Google Maps knows where I am... =)

Once again much thanks to everyone making this work and props to JD for making the ROM which makes the entire process smoother.

the question for those who good their GPS installed properly.....

if you type in your dial pad ##33284 and press SEND then you will get into debugging menu.... Click view and at the bottom you will have Debug info button press that button and it will give you three options 1x, HDR, GPS. so choose the GPS option..... the question is if your GPS is activated then does there any information under GPS option?

[psweitzer]

Yup...

It shows stats for up to 6 sats from what I can see...
I also see the last lattitude / longitude that was received...

As soon as I go inside all the Sat info drops to zeros... That's cause I live in a 50+ year old apt building and materials back then blocked a little more signals I guess! Just means I don't need to wear my tinfoil hat indoors...

On the alltel ROM, mine do not work either, although the ##33284 and press SEND did just work

Well one of two things got my internet going I install the 3 files from my card to the devise and ran them from there or in the phone setting I switched from standard to home...either way nnow my internet is working

Quick question, I've loaded the new Altell Rom and JD's Rom and everything seems to be working. My question is, for me to tether unlimited data to my laptop without Sprint knowing, do I need to go back and delete this file again:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"="rilphone.dll"

Or does installing a new ROM not affect it?

Thanks!
