You're explanation makes sense. The actual RADIO ROM is included IN the Sprint ROM, and therefore doesn't need to be updated when replacing the OS with another. Only a new/custom OS ROM needs to be installed, as the OS and RADIO are separate.

Thanks again for your help!

Make sure you use the SECOND link, where it says New version 2.40.

1) If flashing both OS and RADIO, do I have to do the RADIO ROM FIRST?
2) Can I leave the stock OS ROM and just do the RADIO ROM update?
3) When running the unlocker/hardspl, do I let it go through the whole flash sequence, or just cancel it out when it asks for the ROM file?

Thanks for all the time and help!

*it may not have been BRICKED, but I didn't know how to get it past the VZW splash screen, and the ROM instructed that you had to have the correct RADIO and it was still on the old version*

When installing the hard-SPL unlocker, let the process run through to completion. If you do not, it will not be completely installed and you will have problems.

So for my own edification...

The answer is: you just need to unlock your phone first. right? thx

OK, I finally seem to have gotten it. However, I now get a error that it can't authenticate the phone at this time when making calls. The one item you can't see using the ## code is the A Key value. I think I will have to wait till tomorrow to get that reprogrammed through tech support.

Thanks again for all the help!

I believe that is the solution. Maybe Elements can tell us if it worked.

First post...

My searching at this late hour has resulted in little gain. I've only gotten as far as the tri-colored screen, at which point, I disconnect the USB, and reconnect. When I do, the XP machine finds a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies device, and is looking for drivers - which of course it can't find. Consequently, I can't proceed, since the RUU can't reach the phone. A reset of the device gets me back to stock OS.

This is a Sprint Mogul with latest OEM ROM - first attempt at unlocking/flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I performed the sprint upgrade and then dcd's rom for qwest....When I configure my email settings I can get on line and check email but I have to configure it each time I want to check email....

Also, my phone doesn't ring....it will vibrate only for voicemail, not for an incoming call. It will continue to vibrate until I go to phone settings or do a soft boot....

I attempted to reload with the same problems....always do a soft boot but also a hard one to no avail.

I also noticed my ESN (Decimal) has changed and although I have the sublock code, it won't allow me to edit it. I can edit other EPSN settings.
Is anyone familiar with these problems and how to deal with them? I would be most appreciative for any help you can give me....thank you in advance...

Thanks for the great info! I had a quick question I was hoping someone could help me out with. I have a XV6800. When you say:

I get lost because I can't find a "security" selection to view the info. Can anyone direct me?

I'm soooo excited about getting the GPS to work on the phone. RevA sounds awesome too! I guess it's still pretty risky business to modify the XV6800 (thanks to Verizon), right?
