Sprint still having GPS problems? Try this!

[Red49er]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding matt's post, but I flashed the leaked rom, updated to pri 2.03, and then flashed jd's rom and my pri stayed at 2.03. I'm pretty sure that will only get overwritten if you run ppst or update the radio.

when I flashed the leaked ROM my PRI did not update for some reason. I was still at 1.XXXX. I don't know why (maybe it had to do with flashing JD's lite ROM on top, I don't know, I never check PRI status in between flashing the leaked Sprint ROM and going to JD's rom. But I know that as of yesterday when I started investigating PRI issue, I had 1.XXXX not 2.03_003. Then this morning I flashed Boggsie's cab and tapped PPST and it was at 2.03_003 and my GPS is (knock on wood) perfect....

So maybe some people have had better luck flashing the leaked sprint ROM, I am not sure why mine did not initally update on its own....

Why can't I find the PPST.EXE file on my phone (using Touch Commander which I thought shows hidden files)?

EDIT: The cab, PPST_080407_7500_SPCS_2.03.sa.CAB has SPCS in the name and is from the Sprint leaked ROM. I am under the impression that you should NOT run this, unless you are a Sprint customer.

thanks
I ran it and my PRI changed but I still have the same radio. no problems but I can't test gps in this building. I'll check when I get home.

If you didn't run customizations, it may not have been extracted from the compressed installer "PPST_080407_7500_SPCS_2.03.sa.CAB".

Did you run the leaked sprint rom that included a radio update?

"RUU_Vogue_4350_PPST_SpeciallNBH_SPRINT_WWE_3.02.6 51.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_0823_Tes t.exe"

If so, did you let customizations run to completion?

Well, I can't say for sure what folks have or have not done and what PRI results from flashing A vs. flashing B, but I can say this for certain as I just confirmed the following, by going through the process, step-by-step ...

Flash the leaked sprint rom:

"RUU_Vogue_4350_PPST_SpeciallNBH_SPRINT_WWE_3.02.6 51.2_Radio_435011_3.37.15_AM_NV_SPCS_1.33_0823_Tes t.exe"

... if you DO NOT run customizations

RESULT: There is NO PPST.exe in your windows folder.

... if you DO run customizations

RESULT: autorun.exe uses/executes commands in config_PT.txt

Line 14: CAB: \Windows\PPST_080407_7500_SPCS_2.03.sa.CAB is installed
Line 15: EXEC:\Windows\PPST.exe is executed

Best regards,

EDIT: clockcycle reminds of an important point. when PPST.exe is executed, it prompts the user to approve the update to the radio. well, if it is being executed via autorun.exe, the user cannot respond to this prompt. at some point, autorun.exe will continue, but I DO NOT KNOW what happens to the execution of PPST.exe. This is why, as clockcycle suggests, it is a reasonably good idea (IF YOU ARE A SPRINT CUSTOMER) to manually execute PPST.exe and then ensure that your PRI.

Because after the customizations run the patch on the ppst.exe it doesnt run it, that is why after it reboots you have to run it manually.. It's what this thread is all about.

Are you looking for hte ppst.exe file after you have flashed the leaked rom and let the customizations run and it has rebooted?

If you run the ktichen on it, it will not have the PPST.EXE file..

This is for Sprint Users only.
I just installed BOGGSIEs PPST cab on my Sprint phone currently running the Alltel 3.37.10 radio with JDs GPSTEST2.1 ROM. This updated my PRI to 2.03_003 and my PRL is 60612. My GPS is now getting sat locks like never before. This is good news!!!
