Change Banner from cellsouth to US Cellular.
Write to Phone.

Setup items.
Driver for QPST, Windows XP.
http://www.vzam.net/uploadedfiles/WM...rInstaller.exe
QPST Configuration,
Click Ports tab and Click Add New Port.
Choose COM? USB/QC Data Modem from the list and Click OK to add.

This fixed my phone, it says US Cellular after a soft reset and *228.

Thanks to maverick351ci, for getting this party started for us.

A few add-ons to this...
You must do the *228 after this change
You must change the username in the security tab of EPST for the data to work.

I just learned this the hard way

I did not have to do anything with EPST.
FYI The Security tab does not show up in VIEW mode. You must be in EDIT mode.
Freaked me out when I didn't have a Security tab

What was in your username data field before you changed it, and what did you change it to? Mine says xxxxxxxxxxatcs3g.com and (at=@) so it wouldn't make a link.

I did do *228 just to try and make sure that the US Cellular banner stuck. Maybe you do have to do it and I just stumbled through it.

mine said my10digit @ cs3g.com also.
cs = CellSouth
I don't see how it's possible that it worked without changing this to be @uscc.net
My data would not work until then.
It does hold after the *228 though

I need a little more information on the cell south fix... I downloaded the program it just loads / unloads a driver... am I suppose to dump this on the phone or what? this doesn't show up as a new program... next question what or where is the QPST Configuration? thanks again for all the help and support!!

You need to download the QPST 2.7 program itself.
The link above is only for the drivers needed to see the phone.

Here is a rapidshare link: http://rapidshare.com/files/9279799/QPST_2.7_B215.zip

outback,

Did your data work between the ROM flash and changing the banner whith QPST?
The reason I ask is all we did with QPST is read the phone, change the banner(no other changes), and write to the phone. So the cs3g.com along with the cellsouth banner had to have been there since the ROM flash.

I don't understand how data worked at all, or why mine kept working while yours stopped working after the banner change.

I have had no problems at all with data but I am going to change cs3g.com to uscc.net in EPST.

Yeah, I had problems with the ROM flash when I was the first USCC to go to WM6.1 using the kitchen. We got that all changed and I had been working flawlessly for a while.
I read the phone, changed the banner, and it showed the cs3g.com again somehow.
The data would not work until I changed the cs3g.com to uscc.com

i did the QPST banner fix, worked flawlessly, and stays even with a hard reset. also you will have to change the data settings in the "EPST" menu from @cs3g.com to @uscc.net when you first get the rom update on, then it will hold trough all the kitchens and roms you put on or at least i have never had to change mine again

I'm not really clear on something. After the first ROM flash and everything is working with no problems, what needs to be done to install the next new Kitchen ROM.

I mean do you have to start again with step 4 and load Hard-SPL-MFG 2.40 bootloader, and then skip to step 6 or can you just do a hard reset and the bootloader screen will appear and then start step 6. Someone clear this up for me please.

I have a USCC that ran Sprint customizations. I reflashed, relocked (BAD IDEA), then unlocked, then reflashed Sprints official rom w/radio (because I can't seem to get just the radio to flash), DID NOT let it run customizations, flahsed custom ROM with PPCKitchen, and now I have:

A SprintPCS labled phone (I will try to do the QPST later today and see if that helps), I have changed all EPST to reflect USCC settings (at least all I have found to change). Data still doesn't work - any ideas - anyone?

Thanks.
