ok well i just made up this list a while ago to help someone out, and have ended up giving it to quite a few ppl now, so i figured i might as well post it here under an appropriate title for all to easily see and access.
i know dharvey wrote a great tutorial, and that there are prob others, but..what the heck. plus this is pretty quick and easy, though i cant say that it is as full and thought out and great as dharvey4651's (thx man!)...
IMPORTANT!!! ONLY SPRINT users follow below steps 5 and 8-11!! Altell users can follow all the steps except step 5 as long as they use a different ppst.exe, not the one mentioned below.
"#1- Backup all pim info and anything else you might want.
#2- Ensure you are currently running your carriers original official oem rom (os and radio) (if you have never flashed it at all then dont worry youre good to go).
#3- Unlock using imcokemans 2.31 unlocker (this for gps roms)
#4- run the sprint leaked rom.exe (here, close to the bottom where it says "original rom")
#5- SPRINT ONLY:allow all customizations to complete and run (i know - it takes a lil while)
#6- flash to desired rom.
#7- after she's all booted up, hard-reset.
#8- download and run cab from here (altell users run your own ppst stuff on the same post, non-sprint and non-altell users SKIP TO STEP 12): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=282955&postcount=139
#9- allow soft-rest.
#10- navigate to \windows folder and run ppst.exe
#11- allow soft reset.
#12- allow boot-up, customize, restore pim info etc...

didnt use unlocker
I just ran the leaked ROM upgrade. It found my phone and flashed it. I never ran any of the SPL unlockers. Should I be worried about not being able to unlock later, or have trouble flashing an 'Official' release?

hey nope you'll be just fine, assuming that you arent going to flash to a custom rom. what is your current spl? you just will not be able to flash a custom rom until you unlock.

hi all .....im newbie...using htc touch 2nd gen.... how to unlock the gps in my fon???
Hi All. I just recieved my touch last week and like the phone alot. I have flshed my old phone ( old I-mate PDA) a few times with files from here and it worked great.
But with the Touch you guys are talking about different kinds of touch phones. Where do I check what kind do I have. I am from South Africa and use MTN as my SP.
Will I be able to use the GPS ( Seen it in other threads)
Thank you for your help

im....not really sure. being on a different continent i dont think it would work the same, unless you were able to find a separate radio only rom for your carrier, in which case you could flash whatever rom you wanted (w/o letting the cusomizations run on first boot), then flash your carriers os only rom, then be good to go!

new PPST direct link
This post should be a sticky!!!!
This works perfectly except for the fact that the link to ppcgeeks on #8 is busted. What is missing from that link is the file for ppst.exe. I beat my brains in trying to get the stupid gps to work before I finally realized what was missing from my install.
Here is the PPST file from sprint that you do in fact need to make the gps work great. I lock onto the gps sats in about 15 seconds, in my house, to about 9 of em.

flashing cmda phone different from gsm?
Hi All,
I just got my new sprint vogue to replace my t-mobile wizard. I flashed my wizard extensively over the past 2 years but I'm not sure about the Vogue. How does a cmda phone retain its network settings and network contact info if it is flashed when theres no sim card? I'm not talking about PIM info but the info the phone uses to identify itself and communicate with the network.
thanks
Lotus
This worked great. It was my first time flashing and following these instructions everything worked out well and I get locked into satellites with the gps very fast. Thank you.
i have a couple questions. 1st is i have a sprint touch flashed to cricket if i were to install this rom will all my cricket settings stay intact or will i have to reflash to cricket? 2nd does this rom include WM6.1 along with gps, and rev. A?
thanks for any help.

i must say that im not exactly sure how. but i can say that...it just does. if you flash a different radio rom...then you can be in trouble if it is not for your carrier. but we are discussing os only roms here and the network settings are therefore not really affected
and ps for you too, dont allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be run, unless you are sure they are for your carrier

ok so..no specific rom is being discussed here. this is just a how-to for what/e rom you want.
and no you should not have to re-flash to cricket as long as you only flash an os-only rom, a rom that does not have a radio included, and you never allow any files named "ppst.exe" to be executed.
but most all the roms that you can flash using these instructions do have 6.1 with gps and rev a yes

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VOGUE ONLINE IT KEEPS RESETTING ITSELF TRIED NEW ROMS AND THE MINUTE I DISCONNECT THE USB CONNECTION IT RESETS ITSELF EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES...HELP PLEASE..I WILL BE HERE ALL NIGHT
Alright.
1. Stop posting new threads about this! You are not the only one who has ever had a problem like this.
2. Post the link to where you got the original ROM.
3. Give us a DETAILED overview of what you did. The more you leave out, the less anyone can help.
4. Relax, these things can typically be fixed.

Can someone in simple terms tell me how to fix my 4g? My MAC adress is fine, I am on Fresh ROM and I used simpleroot to root my phone, I did not use unrevoked. Any help would be great. After searching every forum on this, nobody has come up with a fix that ACTUALLY works.

Q&A, but anyway....
What exactly is broken? Does it not connect at all? are you having issues requiring manual reconnection after loosing a connection.... what radios are you running? etc...
Take a look at the post below yours (at the moment) in this forum: How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!) aka Whitslack's method... will get your software up to date on the latest 1.47 (rooted) and current radio's. This has worked for many having issues getting connected.
Use the search button and find confirmed fix for 4g it has to do with updating your 4g and radio then deleting a .xm.tree file off your phone.. I had the same problem as you and that worked like a charm.
I have a problem that I had prior to rooting though. When I connect to 4g I cannot use any data like web browsing. Has anyone wlse had an issue like this? Sorry to highjack the thread I just dont feel it would be necessary to start a whole new thread for this question.
Before root, 4g worked fine, then after rooting it just searches. When upgrading to the newest Fresh Rom, it specifically said to update the wimax, but after that 4g stopped working. Like I said before, i've used search and every single thread is long and everyone is complaining and nothing works it seems.

Yes, I have this problem too...i can connect to 4g fine, but I can't transfer any data.
turn off 4g. delete the file found under data/misc/wimax (mac adress).tree.xml. when you restart 4g that file re-generates. this should fix it.
NOTE: you'll need Root manager to access these files...
worst case scenario -- you have to go back to step one and load the pc36img all over again because that will reflash all radios correctly.

I was wondering if there was a way to flash back to stock and and unroot my evo 4g?
If so, where can I get a stock rom at?

You really need to provide more information in order for someone to help you. The most pertinent information will be found in your bootloader. Please report back your HBOOT version, Security status, and baseband (radio) versions.

Hey Thanks,
S-is off
hboot-6.16.1002
Radio-2.15.00.0808
I see that you are fairly new to posting in an xda forum and I dont want someone to slap you and call you a noob, not that Im doing that right now. But what you really need to do is use the search function of the forums. I had to unroot my cousins phone and I used the search function to find the info, you can even use google to find it. Unrooting is really easy to do, esp if you rooted your phone in the first place. It's just about the same processes.
Thanks,
Actually right after this post, I found it.

Hi Everyone,
New user to XDA, have been trying to find a uvle1 radio download for the better part of 2 days. Mostly only found broken links within old posts on the subject. I have viewed all the posts in regards to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514 (free and permanent unlock etc) so this is not just me asking for help.
I know what I need to do to unlock my phone from Telus but no available radios makes it difficult. The full Tmobile ICS version with the UVLE1 continually fails while attempting to update via odin and CWN. Tried multiple times and no success.
I get into the menu to unlock radio but unable to do so. So if anyone can PM me a copy or a useful link it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Allan

The reason it's failing to flash is because that radio is made for use with a 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 rom, if you are trying to unlock your device (my guess) you need to go back to a factory image of 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 stock rom, then you can flash that radio and it will allow you to unlock using a <#someNumberCode#> found in the free unlocking thread.
