Alltel Touch Pro (now Verizon customer with Alltel hardware)
OEM ROM
NC market in NYC (Verizon)

I had to swap phones due to hardware problems, and since I
ran *228 (2-roam list) I can't get into program mode ##778
tries to really dial and it fails. I checked the registry and
the correct entries are still there. I was able to do a hard reset,
and the it worked again. I'm guessing the data stored by the
tower somehow confused the OS? I noted that the xml in the carrier
cab for Alltel sets the ## numbers in the registry but the Verizon
version does not. Don't know if that means any thing though.
When I get home, and rerun *228 2 from Alltel tower will that fix it?
Any idea how to regain ##778 without rebuilding the phone again?


Thanks

PS: I found epst.exe in \windows but i think its just a rom program,
is there a way to make my own 'shortcut' to it to effectively run
it like ##778 is supposed to?

I have Resco File Manager and SK Shortcut Manager.
I thought maybe RFM could make the shortcut and
shortcut manager could edit it to add the operand
(##778) so epst.exe knew what I wanted to do?


hmms: it looks like RFM isn't displaying the hidden/system
rom files. Anyone know how to get it to do so? Or could
someone point me to directions how build the .lnk file
manually?

I need it to be:
\windows\epst.exe ##778

Thanks

I figured it out.

The Windows Mobile builtin file explorer was able to create
the shortcut, and SK Shortcut Manager added the operand
for me. I tested it and got the programming screens.

Thanks again :)
