With the new billing system and being a little wiser now since pda phones made tethering possible, they can tell the difference between:

1. Casual browsing on the phone/e-mail
2. Tethering browsing/80mb+ Rom downloading 6-7 times a month.

I believe with the new billing system, they are tracking kilobytes sent/received. Rounding up of course with each transfer... I tether and they have added it to my emp account for $0.00. So they know I am tethering :twisted::drunken::mrgreen:

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I have a question for someone that has already flashed...does this rom still have the roaming only option? I read on the Titan thread that the new ROM for it doesn't have the roaming only option.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I read telenav (program) was included in this rom. I can't find it. What is the 4th icon on the sprint home tab? It doesn't do anything. Is it suppose to open telenav?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

i think im going to wait until this is available on sprint downloads. and once again does anyone know if i were to install this if i would loose all of my customizations and apps ? i have never flashed my rom before, so i have the original one.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

The option is missing. Just Automatic or Sprint Only. :(

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

check out post 150

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

for telenav, let the customizations go thru

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

really, where? What is the link?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I did. It was still connected to usb thou.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

anybody? i take it form the lack of response to my post that means YES ill loose everything. what new features are included with this 6.1 update ?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

So I'm on vetvito's ROM right now. If I flash to this, let it run all the way through, and reflash back to vetvito's, will i still get any benefits?

I'd like to because then i can just restore with sprint backup, else I can't, right?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

going from sprint stock rom to this rom.. i don't need to unlock, right?

correct.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

yes i looked at post 150 im trying to clarify if anybody has got it working though.. for he has a mogul and i have touch. should still work but would like to know for sure ya know.. i think im just going to flash and see what happens

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

The safest thing you can do is wait for sprint to offer it. And YES, you loose your customizations when you flash to this.

And to address your earlier post.... If it was available on Sprints website, why would people be downloading it from here?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

one second iron

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

you and me are in the same boat, i did alot of customizing to my phone, but i have never unlocked it or flashed the rom before. so id like to know this too.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I was having the "Error 67" issue but I used this fix I found here and now things are dandy!

Wow! I got some great speeds on the new ROM!

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

yes youll lose everything.. but if you are running the ORIGINAL ROM, you would be nothing but amazed by this one... first you'll get Rev A (the first revision of data/internet speeds) which makes browsing pleasing, and GPS... try it out, you won't regret it.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I did the same thing your talking about 2hrs ago. Yeah You get the new radio, new Prl as well as the new PRI but my gps locks are just the same as before at least I havn't noticed anything different.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

thanks man, so my best bet is to back up any critical contact / info before installing this. i take it flashing a rom is the equal to formatting a pc right, you loose it all and have to reinstall everything ?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

As compared to the Sprint LEAKED rom:

The radio has updated ... 3.37.15 to 3.42.30

The rom has updated ... 3.02 to 3.03

The OS / SYS has NOT updated ... remains at 5.2.19208

SPECULATION

It would seem that the major portion of the update would be the radio and any driver optimizations necessary to interact with the radio.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

Tried to do a CAB, hope it works

HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings --> ForceCellConnection [String value = "Phone as Modem"] -> "Sprint PCS"

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

could anyone add more details about GPS. programs (how to work them). i tried google maps and am getting nothing. same as what people posted before... looking for sats... device doesn't work...and to be honest i don't think my install included telenav.... is it the icon between sprint tv and photo album? if so i have the icon but mine does absolutely nothing.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

thanks, does anybody have a list of new features this update includes ? i read on microsoft about a new text style messaging system too. sort of like palm messaging, which i have installed to my phone.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

fixxer, it has threaded text messaging built in, what part of michigan you from?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I had the stock Sprint ROM, never upgraded, never installed any custom rom. Ran the EXE, everything seemed to work ok.

Installed google Maps
Selected Use GPS
And it permanently says 'Seeking GPS satellities'

What do I need to do?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

could anyone extact the ppst cab file from this ROM. I just want to run it again as I have already flashed to a custom ROM after flashing the new sprint ROM. I want to see if it would have an effect on my GPS locks if I were to run the new ppst with the custom ROM.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

Correct. It's like reloading windows. But, someone said before that doing a backup from stock(6) and then loading it to (6.1) isn't a good idea because files are saved in new locations. That's like taking a backup of XP, loading Vista, and then doing the XP backup. Good luck with that...

I've noticed that some of the names of things have changed. So I would agree that file names and locations have changed as well. I would just install the rom (or wait for sprint) and then just install from scratch. I did it this morning and it only took me an hour. I had all the cab files to install in one folder. Drop them all onto your SD card at once and then install away. You should be done in 2 hours tops.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

grand rapids area. you mean the new rom has built in threaded text messaging ? because my phone didn't until i installed the custom palm messaging.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

ya the new rom has built in threaded messaging, im from southfield

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

Yes, and the threaded messaging is like the 2nd best thing about this for me.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

PPST.zip = a ZIP file that contains PPST_2.04.cab

Copy the cab to your file and run.

execute PPST.exe in the windows directory.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

yeah im eventually going to have to install this anyways. just sucks becuase it took me 2 days to get my pda the way i wanted it. i can just reinstall everything fresh, no big deal. BIG question is, will i loose my contacs list ? that i can't losse.

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

I have decompiled the new rom & checked the mxipupdate_oemoperators_101.provxml, both "Sprint PCS" & "Phone as Modem" are in there, but as bedoig pointed out, the phone as modem is being forced.

Just go into HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings

change ForceCellConnection to "Sprint PCS"

soft reset

the cab should also be in \windows, it's called sprint-navigation-htc-touchmr-2.0.15-norereboot.cab

yes....upgraded radio, PRL & PRI

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

Windows Mobile 6.1 has threaded messaging... and this is WM6.1.

On a side note, I'm not going to flash for a while until ICS among other things are sorted out and a kitchen is released for it. Can someone with the new ROM tell me if the standby issue is resolved with GPS? I believe it is the case where you have it activated (say on Google Maps) and push the power off button while it's still on. Maybe after about a minute turn it back on. Is the GPS still active and getting locks?

Re: NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD
 

thanks alot OMJ... i just needed that clarified before i tackled this beast
