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.

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

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.

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

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 ?

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.

Best regards,

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
