ginnie: Upgrading the radio will wipe this password, you will only have 1X data and Telecom won't help you!
tr3v:ginnie: Upgrading the radio will wipe this password, you will only have 1X data and Telecom won't help you!
I was going to call Telecom about this, but it sounds like you have already tried. I would be interested to hear the response, and reasons.
Is there no (known) way to retrieve or reset the password?
Loose lips may sink ships - Be smart - Don't post internal/commercially sensitive or confidential information!
cokemaster: The reason is that you are putting an unauthorised/nonapproved firmware on your device.
What you are doing most likely hasn't been tested or approved so they can't really provide any level of support if things go wrong. The same concepts related to imported/parallel imported phones and Vodafone live! (music store, sky tv etc) apply here.
Basically, you are playing with fire - if it works, great. If it doesn't - you'll probably have to reflash the device or send it in for servicing (possibly at your cost).
tr3v: If I reflash, I can get *my* password? Does anyone know where the Telecom ROM is?
PS. My unapproved/unauthorised/untested ROM is more reliable, has better voice, GPS, and several other new features. By disabling the EVDO I now chew through my data allocation at a slower rate. Win Win! :-D
paradoxsm: Can you not just write down the password from the device and put it back in? curious to know if that works, My okta is rather valuable to me and the loss of EVDO would be fatal.

I have just completed an upgrade using this page. The only trap I fell into was trying to do the upgrade at step 10 before flashing with the ALLTEL ROM. You must load the ALLTEL ROM first.
Otherwise, all went well and I now have an Okta Touch running WM6.1 with an operational GPS!
mule: Just a question for those who have completed the ROM upgrade following the instructions in the link above - did you follow step 1 and flash the spint OEM ROM the the touch first?
Telecom should be renting the phones then, not selling them. I believe that it is my phone, and I pay for a connection to Telecom's network. I do not expect support from Telecom for operating my phone, and if I do require it, then I expect to pay.
All I expect is a connection, and the relevant information on how to connect. I see it as being analogous to my PC, and I don't get told what versions of OS / BIOS I need for that.
PS. My unapproved/unauthorised/untested ROM is more reliable, has better voice, GPS, and several other new features. By disabling the EVDO I now chew through my data allocation at a slower rate. Win Win! :-D
cambies: Hi i noticed a couple of you have installed the sprint ROM 6.1 Rev A (Almost OEM 6.1 Rev A)
I have done the same everything is working fine. Email/Internet/GPS etc
There is one problem i am having though. hopefully someone can shed some light for me.
When ever an application tries to access a connection I get 2 pop up messeges that seem to be related to the Sprint carrier.
1st message
DATA PROVISIONING
Preparing vision services please wait.
then it will eventually time out and then report..
DATA PROVISIONING FAILURE
Error Code: 1012
Could not prepare vision services, please try again later.
If the problem persists please contact Sprint.
Any Ideas?
Many thanks.
Sprint has something they call OTA or something to that effect. If you look in your program folder on your device you will find it easy enought. Just delete that folder. Then you wont get the error message. There are probably some registry settings that you could remove to. I have never bothered to track them down.
Cheers
MWF: Hi,
I have done the update (with no problems) to "Almost OEM revision" and phone works fine (GPS etc) apart from Internet. I do not even have 1X data connection...
What do I need to do to get 1X data connection?
