You should always let the customization run the first time when you load a new ROM from your provider. It does things you don't see.

I just upgraded to this new version and everything is working without incident. The phone self-provisioned, GPS work.....AND evdo REV.A!!!!!!

I was getting 486/96....Now I get 1.1/854!!! WOOT!!!!

Multi-color screen comes up on the phone...
Then changes to the grey progress bar...
Works its way to 11%...
Phone goes back to multi-colored screen...
Computer stays on 11%.

Finally after about 60 seconds, computer comes back with ERROR 290: INVALID COMMAND, and my only options are to start the recovery.

I go through the recovery...
And the same loop starts again as described above.

I have used the titan_exitbl.exe after 6 loops like this and the phone boots back into the 2.17 ROM.

Any ideas?

hey where do i get titan_exitbl

I can't get GPS to work with Microsoft Live Search....

Maybe I should go outside and try...

so far.. with this 'test only' ROM. I noticed that the BT and earpiece volumes are much louder.

Got the GPS to work! I had to stand outside in the freezing overcast cold (Minneapolis, MN) for about 5 minutes and suddenly it kicked on. I didn't stay long to verify exactly but it looked within about 50 feet from where I was standing. Very cool!

If your GPS is not working go stand outside away from walls for a good 5-10 minutes, make sure GPS is on and it should work.

Thanks for the tip! This is my first ROM upgrade but yeah, I saw it doing a lot besides install bloatware. I'll probably play with it this weekend and then when I get home on Monday (where I can re-sync contacts) I will try a hard reset to get rid of Sprint stuff.
