I have been using the 2.13 radio on my Alltel 6800... replacing the 1.40 radio I was currently using. I have not experienced any substanial changes in reception and quality to date. However the final test will come when I travel to Charleston and I normally get roaming on EV (Alltel booboo).

I have had constant EV service and no 1X.

HOWEVER... I CAN make a phone call AND browse online at the SAME time whereas I could NOT before.

This definitely makes the 2.13 worth flashing...

Only way is wifi...no possible way to be on the net and phone at the same time using the cell network.

steps is right...

Apparently I tried some more surfing on my browser until I hit the "Cannot connect...end call first..." warning.

It seems my PIE cache allowed me to browse some pages before it really needed to connect in which it denied me...

Sorry everyone. I thought we really had something here.

Wouldn't that be awesome if we could browse AND be o n the net tho???!!!

Is it even possible with a software upgrade???

The links to the 1.40 & 1.47 radio's I have found on here and xda are .exe files and simple to install. This radio is a .nbh file, how would I install it?

You would want to use the ROMUpdateUtility.exe that is packaged with DCDs Kitchen. I have been using the one with file version 3.16.14.0 and it is packaged with his 1.6.9 and 1.6.10 Kitchen.

Copy the .nbh file into the RUU directory and make sure that there is one and only one .nbh file in the directory with the ROMUpdateUtility, this is typically the RUU directory when you install or unpack the Kitchen.

DCD keeps his thread at XDA-Developers updated with versions of his Kitchen.

Make sure you are comfortable with the concepts of using the update utility and heed the warnings.
