Installing Alltel ROM on Sprint Mogul

[to0]

Hi,

I really want to install the Alltel ROM on my Sprint Mogul. I've searched around and didn't come up with anything, so can someone more knowledgeable on the subject tell me if this is a good idea, or if it's begging to have my phone bricked:

I downloaded the Alltel ROM and extracted its NBH contents using nbhextract. The CID is set to ALLTE001.

I also downloaded the newest Sprint ROM and extracted its NBH contents. That one's CID is set to SPCS_001.

Can I use nbhgen to change the CID of the Alltel ROM to Sprint's?

*edit: Nevermind. Gave this a shot and just got an error from RUU.

Um, yeah you will get an error. And, why are you trying this in the first place?

I use Cricket for my service. I've gotten everything except incoming MMS to work, and the problem is with how Sprint's Data Provisioning is nested in the Mogul's Sprint ROM. There are IOTA settings in the registry, but I really have no idea about how to modify them since Cricket doesn't require any data provisioning.

On my 6700, ArcSoft would automatically dial the connection I had specified in the settings when an MMS arrived. Now, it attempts to connect to Power Vision, and I get an IOTA error about how the device failed to connect to Power and I should contact Sprint. I know that the Alltel ROM would not have these problems.

Another idea that I had was to completely replace my current registry with Alltel's (I have a complete dump), but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that, either. When I restore the file with PHM, the Sprint and Alltel settings just coexist with eachother.

If you have any ideas or suggestions here, they'd be appreciated.

my understanding of crickets data services was that they use simple ip and a proxy for http. have you changed the mogul to use simple ip? i think all you really need is a way of stopping an IOTA aka "vision profile update"

Exactly, but I'm not sure how to go about stopping that. My latest venture is to get someone with an Alltel PPC6800 to take a full SPB backup of the registry, so that their settings will overwrite all of Sprint's.

Do you know of a way to disable IOTA?

delete the guardian file in Windows startup - then delete the IOTA folder - in program files.. this is what I did to make the mogul work on Alltel before they launched the 6800. I also went through the registry and deleted a couple of IOTA registry keys.. I can't remember where they were though.. Finally, I deleted the error 67 notification in the registry and everything worked perfectly..

Now that the Hard SPL for the device is out you can install the alltel rom directly from the exe after the hard spl is installed.

Yeah I got this going a few days ago. MMS is working perfectly now!

I ran Olipro's unlocker and popped the Alltel ROM WITH the ExtROM and everything works WITHOUT any special consideration. You could say that it "worked straight out the box".

Now the qyestions are 1) now that I've unpacked the RUU_signed.nbh, how do I repack it, and 2) where is the extended rom in the unpacked nbh? I guess these are the big questions for getting Mogul kitchens together and cooking ROMs.

[Anubiset]

Yeah the Alltel ROM is running pretty well. Definitely an improvement over the stock sprint ROM. Not a huge difference, but it's definitely worth the upgrade until we get some ROM Kitchens/Heavily Modified/Improved ROMs.

don't u guys miss java support?
I can't run opera mini anymore once I switched to Alltel...

[berardi]

Install Esmertec Cloudyfa Java it's better than the builtin on Sprint. Saving space if anything

go to ppc geeks and check out the 6800 forum.
instructions are at the top.

[Gomer03]

Is there a memory difference at all between the 2? If so, what is best to go with? What is the advantage to the Alltel one over the Sprint?...Sorry...kinda a n00b...but not really...lol
