Problem after running ppst.exe

Littlefield · #1 (**permalink**) 06-26-2008, 09:02 AM

So after running ppst.exe I've had a slight problem, admittedly I did it while driving all from my phone so I'm sure I messed something up along the way.

Anyways, the problem is now I'm stuck in 'Digital Roaming' and get an "Error: 67" message saying my password is wrong? Where do I get my password and how do I fix this if it actually is the problem?

If not, whats my next step, I've tried a soft & hard reset to no avail.

Sorry, I'm at work and want to do this quick, i would have also done a little better searching.

Thanks in advance!

Update: Problem Resolved! I had to soft reset before customizations ran after flashing the rom. Thanks for the help guys!

Re-Flash with a Official Stock ROM. If you are with Sprint then Flash the new ROM. The radio will reflash in the process. Otherwise use the newest .exe from your carrier....

I have the same problem when I run the ppst , unless it's the patched version on here. If you reflash you should be fine. Hard reset doesn't touch the radio... Take care and double check prior to flashing anything especially if it relates to the radio....

Hope that helps..

Your profile does not indicate who your provider is ...

As far as I know, there is a PPST.exe for Altell and now two for Sprint; one with the leaked rom and one with the official rom.

If you are not an Altell or Sprint subscriber, running PPST.exe will probably result in you needing to call your carrier support so they can fix your data connection.

I think he should be able to fix it by re-flashing a stock rom from his carrier (Which remains unknown). I have the same problem everytime I run the ppst from sprint unless it runs during customization or I use the patched one. Re-flashing to either the leaked gps rom or the new one from yesterday always fixes it for me. But I stayed within my carriers ppst.

It is also possible (I guess) to resolve the issue by (post-flash) installing the correct carrier-specific cab from dcd's titan or vogue thread over on xda.

I can't speak with experince on this situation, as I've never personally had it happen to me. In the early stages of the stickied GPS Fix thread, there were a few folks who were VZW subscribers who had flashed PPST.exe and, while I can't recally everything that they tried to resolve the issue, I can say that there were folks who had to resort to a support call to get their data connection fixed.

I think that your suggestion has merit, though, because it gives this person something to do while waiting on hold and it might resolve the issue without talking to support.

Sorry guys, I'm on Sprint. I just reflashed with the new official leaked roma nd I'm still in Digital Roaming, however the Error 67 bubble hasn't popped up yet?

Update: when I look in device information I don't think my typical username is there... this probably the problem?

Well, alrightey then ... you are a sprint subscriber, you flashed the rom posted yesterday, allowed customizations to run and cannot connect.

If this confirms your situation, then I'm at a loss (no big surprise there).

I would suggest the following:
Hard Reset
--- hold down the green button + red button + insert the stylus in reset hole
--- the screen will prompt to press the key
--- after the hard reset, the screen will ask you to press the send key

Instead of pressing the send key, take out your battery for 30 seconds

re-insert the battery and press the power (top) button

see what happens after the customizations run

soft reset (the stylus in the reset hole)

Please make sure you are flashing the correct stock rom (and I don't mean it to sound like I think your an idiot) but its really easy to get them mixed up... Re-flashing the new sprint stock rom should be all you need to do....

try these two things next.

First. After you re-flashed and let customizations run and the phone reboots, run the ppst from the windows folder and let it reboot.
Make sure that if correctly completes before you reboot. Then pull the battery out for a minute and then soft reset.

You can also try this..

##data# then put in your password and then tap edit and restore and let it reboot. That has also worked for me. My main problem when this happens to me is I won't catch signal for 20 min or I will roam for no reason. This really only happens to me when I use the kitchen and run the non-patched ppst.

Also you could always disable roaming for right now...

And I was just thinking. No one has asked the obious question. Could there be a actual service problem in your area????

No entirely true. For Telus users, you can upgrade to the latest PRI from Sprint, then do a ##786# to get back to the Telus PRI with no need to call Telus. It will leave the GPS options set. After the ##786# reset, you just need to *22803 option 1, then *22803 option 2. GPS for telus users. I have heard that bell can just run the PRI, but atleast there is a fallback
