Very confused in flashing to new dcd ROM, help?

[Tyorik]

I'm very new to this flashing thing. I'm familiar with pretty much everything else, however. Having just sold my GPS, having a handheld GPS would be infinitely useful (Especially since I get service on a mountain that I frequently go biking on and get lost).

That said, I can't make heads or tales of some of the threads going on with the 3.0.2 ROM, flashing it, flashing the radio, and getting the PRL or... Whatnot.

I have an Alltel PPC-6800, it's using the stock ROM and radio (2.14.671.3 ROM and 1.4 radio), so basically I haven't changed anything. I don't really understand the steps involved coherently, so if someone could kinda give me some hints or whatnot I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks!

They have some helpful step-by-step guides over there.
With Alltell because you first have to upgrade to the new Sprint ROM to get the new radio and then install a custom ROM. But make sure you read up because there are few other steps involved.

So I am supposed to use the Sprint ROM? Hmm. I guess I'll read up some more then and try to piece it together, thanks though!

You need the new Sprint ROM simply to get the new Radio (with GPS capability)... then you have to load a custom ROM that is meant for Alltel
