OK. Password had me for a while. Tried 000000 and it let me in. That was easy!

I still have just uscc.net as the address.

Security
HDR AN AUTH User Id(LONG) HEX@uscc.net
HDR AN AUTH Password(LONG) HEX
PPP USER ID 414#######@uscc.net
PPP PASSWORD gibberish...

Thanks for pointing that out; it prompted me to look closer into it. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT... IT SHOULD BE "@uscc.net" ON EITHER CIRCUMSTANCE! I figured out where the mixup was. When I flashed DCD's ROM, the banner read "CellSouth"; it read this EVEN AFTER INSTALLING THE USCC CARRIER CAB! Well, I Thought that the banner was all that needed corrected; when I checked EPST Security settings, I ASSuMEd that the settings were USCC... They're friggin' "CellSouth"! I corrected my settings to uscc.net and didn't think much of it since i'm in a non-EVDO area. I thought that the settings installed by the CAB were for EVDO, and that that was why my data services weren't working. Sorry, Gents! I WILL EDIT MY PREVIOUS POST ON THIS, AND I WILL ALSO NOTIFY DCD SO THAT HE CAN CORRECT THE "USCC CARRIER" CAB.

To Clarify, regarding the EPST Security Tab Settings:
Here are the security settings:
HDR AN AUTH User ID (HEX)= ESN@uscc.net
HDR AN AUTH Password (HEX)= ESN
PPP USER ID = MSID#@uscc.net
PPP Password = MSID#

Ok, I flashed my ROM to the recommended 5060 one on the first page.. and followed all the directions.. and GPS works!! WOOT! however now when I go to open the camera, I get "Shortcut Target" Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.



ummm...... what happened to my camera? Did I select a wrong option for my rom perhaps?

I restored a backup file I created with SPB Backup before I flashed my rom, and now when I go to my TXT messages I see I have one with the subject :Account Locked and the body states:

Company policy prohibits use of text messaging on this device. You cannot send or receive text messages.



What did I do wrong? I hadn't received any text messages since I upgraded my rom and even before I restored my backup. HELP!!!

er, did you use a kitchen or just a custom ROM? if you used a kitchen, you prolly just didnt' check it
if its a custom rom, it might have been left out... it's been a long while since i've used 5060 either way...

The restore doesn't always work, especially if you upgrade from WM6 to WM6.1 - so that could be your problem. it seems to vary depending on the backup method you use. Might check out Dashwire, although for now it wont sync texts back to the phone after hard reset, they do remain online... but it does sync contacts...

if it was the backup, hard reset and you should be ok

I used the kitchen.. and I used the 5060 version because that's what the guide at the beginning of this thread says to use... should I use something else?

Did you first make a list of the settings in EPST so you could check them against the current EPST settings after the upgrade to make sure that they all matched up to the original settings?

And you can also try the 5067 or the 20273 at your own risk though. I am running the 20273 at the moment with the 3.42.50 radio and so far not a glitch.

Ok, now I'm totally lost. According to the directions at the beginning of this thread, I have to update the radio to version 3.35.04. Where did this 3.42.50 version come from? Is there any benefit from using one over the other? I've read it's a really bad idea to try to downgrade the radio.

RANT!!:
Is it POSSIBLE for me to somehow RESTORE all my customizations that I had PRIOR to the ROM flash? I used SPB BACKUP to back up my entire flash storage. I spent a LOT of time customizing things and would really like a way to simply RESTORE everything that got wiped in the flash as far as my customizations go. VERY frustrating spending so much time customizing my phone then have it all wiped if I want to upgrade the rom and have to manually do it all over again!!!
