The second question is: How did you load your previous ROM? I would recommend BuildOS from PPCKitchen.org. This will allow you to add what you want and keep the superflous stuff off of your phone. The third question is: Have you ever installed the official Sprint update? If not, then you need to do that first. Get the latest and greatest Radio on the phone and this will ensure that your GPS is ready to use. You should start from scratch by re-locking, then updating with the OFFICIAL SPRINT ROM, then un-locking and then cooking your own ROM. BE SURE TO BACK UP EVERYTHING YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW, WHILE YOU'RE READING THIS. WHEN YOU FLASH A NEW ROM YOU LOSE EVERYTHING AND IT WILL NEVER MAGICALLY REAPPEAR.

First: Most likely, I didnt relock it, I just followed the instructions in the thread I found about getting GPS to work on the Mogul. I've had Google Maps working with GPS for a year or so, whenever the ROM that I installed came out basically.

Second: I just followed the steps in the thread I found, a combination of installing CABs and maybe running a program or so and waiting for it to do it's thing, I simply don't remember.

Third: I don't think I've ever installed an official Sprint update, who knows. I think I had Sprint TV on my phone before they put the kybash on that, then I did the custom one. Is there a way to tell if it's unlocked or not? When I was searching about unlocking and relocking, it seemed like doing it was a lot different then it was before.

I know I should search but whats the best way to backup, I tried finding alternatives to activesync as I didnt use outlook, but at the time there wasnt any good alternatives available. I tried PPCPimbackup, but it gave me a byunch of errors.

Thanks btw I really appreciate it in advanced.
