New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

I've tested it quite a bit - it does work with skipped customization. The GPS on the other hand does not get a lock. It want's to, by that I mean GPS View finds the sats and loses them repeatedly. Something is missing (ppst update? I don't know)

Here's what I've done so far. On the shipped rom, ran GPS viewer and tried to get a lock for 5 minute.

Loaded OMJv2 for Alltel - no lock. Ran the 040108 PPST update (fixing the SID number) and no lock. it wouldn't even run for that matter.

Any ideas? the new radio seems to poll the GPS receiver more often. If GPS Viewer is any indicator, the sat receiver numbers start flashing at least twice as fast after about 5 seconds of use. but it never locks :(

update, no luck getting gps to lock on the new rom/radio. I even did something stupid andlet the customization run on the new sprint rom. That messed me up good. Had to go back and reload the released Alltel rom, then start all over. fun.

edit: still had problems getting the data service to run. a call to tech support andI discovered the carrier customization changes your login info under the security setting of EPST. once that was fixed, I was back in serive.

No locks for me under 3.43 radio, stock or even using OMJ's new 3.03 custom rom. Has any other Alltel user gotten it working?

some days I wonder if anyone on Alltel reads these forums or tries these roms ](*,)

I upgraded my radio using that rom then loaded dharvery's 715 rom. I'm almost always getting locks using GPS Today in under a minute.

I'm using an Alltel Touch.

make sure your pri reads 2.01_011, goto device information and check... on the alltel rom its as easy as dialing *#0000# and hitting talk

Re: New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

Could you tell me what the current username should be on the *#0000# screen? I let the Sprint PPST run and screwed some stuff up. I already set the MSL Code back to 000000 and changed my internet settings to alltel.

But under the device information screen the Current Username is showing sprint stuff. I think it should be mynumber@alltel.net.

Re: New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

thould be number@alltel.net and the password can be one of two things i think...
1) blank and the ESN number should be used or 2) alltel and youll know it will work

Other things to note
A-KEY
Authentication Key =

Home SID/Home NID
Home SID/NID #1 = (Make Sure this is what you had before the upgrade, mine gets deleted every customization i do!) so for me its 1236/65535 (first is area specific, second is the same for all smartphones i think)

M.IP Default Profile
NAI = number@alltel.net
MN HA SPI Value = 101
MN AAA SPI Value = 3E8

Thanks for this.

How about the HA Shared Secret and the AAA Shared Secret. Should they be blank? Mine has a bunch of jumbled characters/letters/numbers.

Re: New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

the Alltel pri does not have those settings for the 6900

Re: New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

Ok, I better clear them out.

Re: New Sprint rom on Alltel
 

Tried a search.. nothing came up ..

So if my PRI reads 2.03_003 (using the new Sprint radio with OMJ clean ROM)

how do I go about changing it back to 2.01_011???
