New Bell ROM 3.09.666.1 released 8/23

[pljansma]

I have a new Alltel Touch, I "lost" my old one as far as Alltel is concerned. I tried to flash this rom to get the updated radio and I get an "Invalid Vendor ID" error. I unlocked the phone first using Cokeman's unlocker, what am I doing wrong? I reflashed back to the stock Alltel rom with no problem. Is there anyway I can get the updated radio without flashing to this rom? Thanks for any feedback and God bless, Phil.

The new Bell ROM allows for flawless Internet Sharing. Tested on laptop using XP. Finally... All is complete!

I can't even update it from the bone-stock ROM.
It gives me an error stating that this RUU isn't a valid Pocket PC Application.

I only want it for the GPS support. Unless someone knows of a way that i can get the GPS working, or if there is some Cell Tower Triangulation software that the phone is compatible with.
If anyone knows anything i'd greatly appreciate it.

Support isn't really giving much SUPPORT either..hahahaha.

BTW, it's an HTC Touch (Bell)

Thx

By "It gives me an error stating that this RUU isn't a valid Pocket PC Application." you mean that you're trying to run the Ruu exe from your Touch itself? Sorry man, it's a Windows program. Just have your phone connected via Activesync and run the RUU on your computer.

any issues of dropped calls or 1x Fall Back from EV like those reported in 3.08??

Watch out for those tethering charges unless you're using PDANet.

As far as the dropping from EV to 1x, right around when the previous rom came out I know Bell was having tower issues, I think it was just coincidental that the other rom came out around the same time. Not sure about dropped calls though, I haven't noticed anything myself.

Forget that, I just installed it and does not have the new logo.

But this ROM is really good! (But really similar to the 3.0)

I would really like to be able to remove the Large Title Bar! Any Ideas?
