OK, noobish question here. I've never put much thought into radios, firmware, etc before. However, there's a stretch of a few miles during my commute that causes me to roam on Verizon. Now that I've flashed the new firmware, I won't be able to stream Sirius during that part of my commute. And no Howard Stern in the morning makes me angry.

What exactly do I need to flash to get roaming back?
I grabbed two girlies
And a beer that's cold

You could try to flash Freeza'a all in one for the old sprint firmware, but I tried it twice and it didn't work.

In theory, flashing sprint radios should fix the roaming problem, unless there is something else coded in the firmware upgrade that tells your phone to ignore roaming partners. If that's the case, you'll have to flash an old firmware, that replaces whatever the vm firmware did. Or you could wait for the official sprint firmware to come out, and flash that.

I'd recommend trying to flash an old radio first, and see if your phone will roam where it should. And of course, report back, and let the rest of us know

Once again, here's a link to different sprint radios:

I haven't tried flashing any of them with ICS yet, but it shouldn't matter, since it's applied by the bootloader. You do need to have hboot 1.4 and s-off.

Never mind, it was a stupid question. Others have roam on this rom with old firmware, correct?

I did not flash the firmware, only the rom. Roaming does work for me. The rom doesn't have a settings option to set your roaming preferences though. But if you don't update your firmware and get the rom to flash properly, it should still roam automatically like it always has.
