thanks, I will keep my fingers crossed. No worries, I know its my own doing and all this rom business is experimental.

I assume I can use the buildOS tool and create a custom rom for that is verizon based to gat this iota.cab file back.

#2 No, sounds like I am to late for this now. I am going to get this tool so that I can have that file for later upgrades.

What are my options now. Phone can call out and in but no data unless I am using wifi.

On a side not I couldn't use my data connection since last Sunday for some reason.

well here is DCDs Verizon Carrier Customizations Cab...
might give that a try, if it doesn't work... then divedr gave some good advise

That's a great idea, didn't think of that, do you think it would work with a remote provisioning from Verizon or am I totally off on that please let me know and thanks?

1.) Update your ROM using the Sprint install.
2.) Wait..... as it updates you might see a stall at 11% with a re-boot on your device but just wait, it took 15 minutes on my laptop (XP SP3) before it re-started and re-started again 3x during the update, then it finished (@20 minutes total.)
3.) After the initial re-boot let everything run (customizations too!.)
4.) Hard re-boot and let the customizations run again. Connect to the internet to let IOTA re-provision your device.
5.) Hard re-boot and when the PPC comes back up soft reset before the Sprint Customizations run.
6.) After the PPC is up you will have a fairly clean PPC install of WM6.1 without the Sprint bloat!!!!!
7.) Run the CABs I wrote here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=32938 to add the Voice Mail Today Plugin and enable the Roaming Only Option for the phone.
8.) Install Total Commander to access the Extended_ROM and access Sprint TV and Navigaton if you like.

As far as I can see there is no functionality crippled by the above steps and all will work as expected with no lockups or problems. Have been runn ing this way for the past few days and all is well. Hope this works for you too! If it does then please give a thanks!

My Mogul is working pretty good using the 6.0 updat, I'd like the Sprint TV option without upgrading to 6.1..any chance of doing this?

You just need to find a sprint tv cab i think.

Well the 6.1 update gives lots of benefits; better memory management, threaded text, I could go on and on but it's well worth the update. If you want the Sprint TV cab I'll post it but I think you need WM6.1 for it to work on your device (it comes from the 3.56 ROM and is burried in the windows folder, not in the Extended_ROM as a CAB, part of the cryptic Sprint Customizations in this ROM that I have yet to figure out!)

Yeah, it is in the Extended ROM as a CAB... SprintTV_noremovable_signed.CAB

I tried the dcd verizon cab and it didn't seem to do anything. I run it and it resets the phone but still can't run *228. it calls out but then the lady says unable to program your phone.

Also the ##778# command does not work either. It just tries to dial out.

I used the BuildOS and built a ROM for verizon 6.1 with GPS and it installs but still can't program my phone. I am getting the roaming icon on the screen and noficiations on incoming calls that I am roaming.

Since my phone still works it seems like this should be fixable. any other suggestions?

You might want to try to get Verizon to provision your device remotely, if it works then you saved hours of work, no?
