How to upgrade an xv6800 with the new Sprint ROM

[buckyswider]

Yes, I upgraded my VZ with Geckotech's help on the original "Sprinty" update thread. Worked great!!!

Thanks for putting this together, Gecko. I did figure out the "Marty" reference- I kept getting stuck on the godawful Huey Lewis song....

One question for my VZ bretheren- my programming pushes now require a "#" at the end, just like the Sprintys. e.g. ##778# . Almost tripped me up when I had to call VZ after hard reset to get re-activated- he said "hit ##778". Nothing happened. Quickly thought to add the extra "#" , though, as I had read in the Sprint threads. Anyhow, I *think* what I need to do to set this back is edit the registry- I found a 'postfix' value of "#" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\Keyprogram . I think I can just backspace over this value to get it to work like VZ again. Can somebody validate that this value is blank for VZ?? TANKS!

Oh yeah, one other thing- the poster blazingwolf was VZ-izing No2Chem's ROM updates... I guess he was doing things like putting the VZ splash screen back in instead of the Sprint one....but he seems to have stopped...anybody have any idea how we can go back and VZ-ize our hacked ROMs?? It even tells me I'm connecting to the Sprint data network....not a huge deal, but just wondering....

Thanks again Gecko!!!
