anyone else having this issue? My data is stuck in a 1x connection and i know i just need to update the security HDR key settings but EPST wont load on my phone. typing the command or going to the software manually just results in a quick flash of the app and then it quits. anyone know whats up?
who is your carrier?
using the alltel cab
also just upgraded to the newest radio, 3.39.10. didnt know if that could have anything to do with the EPST or not. i have not tried any other apps yet
nah its just registry keys and a file, epst.pst
i will check the alltel cab and fix it when i get home (tomorrow)
i had the same problem.. i reflashed the 3.1.1 rom and it was fine, with and without the vzw cab.

Hey Mills... did you reactivate the phone? You might need to with the radio upgrade... I'm not sure cause I'm still running the Alltel stock upgrade.
If you are in an Alltel native area, dial *228 and select option 3 to reactivate the phone. It will reboot and you should be set.
228 will do a lot of things but it wont change the Akey or the HDR settings. I wish everything was as easy as 228
after flashing 3.0.4, the epst worked fine.. i know its not just the carrier cabs that is the problem, i think it might me a file missing in the rom for 3.1.2 because in 3.1.1 it worked fine! but my dumb ass deleted it so its no where to be found (the 3.1.1 version i mean). But i think dcd said he is going to fix something on it. its a reg setting + a file missing or something.. holla.
DCD, new cab rolling out yet? I havnt seen any updates on the kitchen thread....

I just know I am about to brick this thing and kill myself, but here is my understanding:
1. Use latest Olipro unlocker (2.40);
2. Use PPCKitchen to build WM6.1 and GPS ROM with the modules/etc. that I want - choose Alltel in the service provider dropdown box in the top right hand corner.
3. Build the ROM and choose the "upload rom to device" option.
I am sure this is already wrong, but here are my other questions:
None of the special code entries work. Things like ##<msl>#, ##778#, etc., so I can't find all my data settings and MSID. The information I have read says to enter these codes and nothing more. When I enter them, I am just staring at my dialer screen with that code typed in and nothing happens. Pressing send does nothing but try and call that number and there isn't an "Edit" or "View" button to press or anything of that sort. I can't find a walkthrough on how to enter those codes.
I just would love a lean install of wm6.1 with GPS enabled and some of the popular mods that will work with Alltel. I haven't found any good walkthroughs for Alltel users here or at PPCGeeks.
If anyone has any advice for a way to do this safely, let me know. You could even message me on AIM at Lucificate if I could pick your brain a bit. If this doesn't start making a whole lot more sense real quick, I will just learn to live with the default software my phone came with until HTC releases an official Alltel upgrade with 6.1 and GPS =)
First off to get to the settings its
##778 Talk.
then 000000 <6 zeros is the code
then yes looks like you have an idea..
Good luck.

Having same problem with Sprint Mogul using DCD rom with verizon settings. With the new rom the ## msl # comman does nothing. I reverted back to the unofficial sprint rom and it works again. The DCD rom looks much better, anybody got any ideas?
I'm on Verizon and my codes haven't worked for a long long time. The simplest thing is to go into your windows folder find the file called epst.ink and copy it to your start menu/program folder. Then whenever you need inot those setting you just go to your programs and select it.

You also need the updated GPS radio to run a GPS rom!

At what point do you insert this step? I thought the kitchen included all the components for he flash. All I have found is some Sprint radio upgrade, not sure if I can just throw that onto the Alltel phone.
You can get the code using a program called getspc (search xda forums for it).
just after you install olipro 2.4, you flash to the sprint 3.35 (this will install the new radio) rom but do not allow the device to configure (do not tap screen when it asks you to), then immediately flash to dcd's rom.
I have a qwest mogul and using this procedure preserved all the information on the phone for Qwest (I didn't have to use the information I copied), but be sure to write them down just in case. Also, you may want to find the exit bootloader program, just in case your phone gets stuck in bootloader mode (I needed it).

Unless something has changed the kitchen does not include the radio. The safest way to get the radio installed is to flash the Sprint rom but don't allow the customizations to run unless you're a Sprint customer. Then you flash your custom rom for the specific carrier you're on. I'm on Alltel also and the Sprint rom will work fine to get the radio installed.
Be forewarned, though, that once you upgrade to the 3.35 radio, it might be tricky to flash to the stock Alltel rom once it is available. Some have had success relocking then reflashing and some have bricked multiple phones in the process. Apparently, downgrading a radio is much more taxing on the phone than upgrading the radio.

I have gotten mms working in 3.0.4 by cooking rom without new arsoft and using lennys cab instead....bummed for not having the new arsoft but it still works

Greetings everyone,
I have an Alltel PPC6800 which I've updated with dcd's 3.2.2 kitchen rom. I first installed the 2.40 olie boot loader, followed by updating the 3.37.20 Radio, updated the ROM, ran the carrier cab, and activated it successfully.
Whenever I try to connect to the internet through PIE, it first tells me my username and password is wrong. I looked this up and many suggest using the [email protected] with the password alltel. Unfortunately, it still claims there's issues connecting.
Reading the wiki . . . it seems there might be a problem on their end? Or is there still something to check/fix on my end?
Thanks in advance

alltel user here..yeah i don't have to re-activate the phone, but that sounds like the issue if you ran the carrier cab "on the device". I think a long time ago i had to *228 it, but nothing since. like the previous post said...try that...that might get it.

Sorry. I meant option 3 activate new phone, but yes I have alltel also and had to do that after upgrading the radio. Option 3 will reprovision your phone.
Ok, I installed WMDrivers and QPST, and when I put the phone in ##diag, it comes up on COM18. I go into QPST, add port (com18/Unknown, not DIAG label), and the port adds fine, but doesn't see the phone. I have searched around and can't find an answer.. any ideas?
Using the right one???

I was having the same problems. be sure that you are using the WMdrivers and the QPST for the titan. I tried using the one for the 6700 and it would not read the phone. PM if you cannot locate it. I think I have it saved somewhere???

The problem is in ROM version.
With DCD 3.2.5 QPST works, with 3.3.4 it does not.
I don't know if 3.2.6 is OK.
wanted to fix cellsouth banner w/3.2.6.. wouldn't stay that way would it from .5 to .6??
Once you fix the carrier banner, reflashing the rom should not mess it up again, it's caused by when you flash your radio the first time. Once QPST and EPST has been fixed, any future updates to radio or rom tho should not bother it.
I actually could never get QPST to work with any DCD 3.2.x rom, I always flash back to 3.1.2 make the change, and then flash back forward to his latest.
BTC
FIXED.
Ok, I tried the specific TITAN WM drivers, and still did not see the phone in QPST. So I did an SPB Backup, hit a stock 3.1.2, read fine, made changes, put back the same kitchen'ed rom I had to 3.2.6, and restored, and couldn't be happier.. unless of course USCC went 3G in my area so I had some bandwidth!
Thanks for your inputs!

So you are wil Cellular South? What are you running on your 6800? I want to upgrade mine but have been sceptical that it may not work on our network.
If possible I would like to know what steps you took; did you have to upgrade your radio prior to unlocking and upgrading?
Thanks

Nope, I am US Cellular on the coast of Maine. PPC 6800 with a dcd 3.2.6 kitchened rom. 25 megs free at fresh boot with one oxios. 16 gig microsdhc. Just had to change the CellSouth banner that is generated from the radio upgrade back to US Cellular. Seems odd to see US Cellular though, cuz I looked at CellSouth for 6 months before I fixed it.

Tried and Tried and Searched and Searched, and finally ive gotten to the point of giving up, figured i would take a week or so break and try this again. I have tried everything to get qpst working, i have the 6800 Titan (Qwest) Fully flashed to cricket, Im having issues with the Cricket Internet working on the phone, it keeps saying its not on my plan but i know it is. shows up on my bill and im paying for it.. Figured i could call and have them refresh the phone ( assuming the same thing that *228 does ), but the SPC isnt back to 000000 or 333333, its still the original one from Qwest (which i do have ), but somehow i need to get back to 6 0's so i can have cricket update the phone. pix mail works though, and i figure that uses the data connection so web should work as well correct?
Thanks in advance
what are you doing to try qpst? Are you putting the phone in dmrouter?
i am trying to get the SPC number, its not 000000 or 333333 so i cant get in and change the settings over to cricket. its driving me nuts, got a step by step tutorial on it? im about to lose my mind with this thing. the 6800 was no problem, but this one for some unknown reason i cant seem to get. this ones a qwest 6700
here's whats up... first of all... I want to thank everyone here for their amazing info and files. these last few days have been a real eye opener for me to look and learn new things. that being said....
I have a uscc 6800. I upgraded to nue spl 2.47 then to radio 3.42.5 then went to dcd 3.3.4 as i had read it was stable and opperating well. I think thats where i goofed. I allowed it to set up its own settings then I ran the uscc carrier cab.
I have no internet. my #777 says I need a valad password and username but had never had one before. my fiance's phone doesnt need one... (I'm not touching hers at this point in time)
any thing... any help.... any hints tips etc. PLZ
ok. i think i get it now.
here is the biggest issue I have.... I have checked epst and it appears to all be the same. was there some step I missed... is there some fix I'm not finding or am I just screwed?
With USCC I have always found it best to use QPST to backup and restore the phone's programming before/after flashing. Then there is only 1 thing that has to be edited in EPST when it's all said and done.
What kind of phone is your GF's? The same model?
If so you can use QPST to read her phone's programming and update the MSID/Phone # info and write it to your phone and it should work.
QPST info is not the same as EPST info, they do have some cross over but both also contain unique info and when you upgrade to a v3.x radio, it trashed alot of the settings in QPST, which is why it's best to back it up first.
BTC
This sounds like something I've done in the past, but not with USCC. I had flashed a dcd ROM and then installed a carrier cab, but it continued to ask for a valid username or password. There are a couple of things you can do. First, do a hard reset of the device, then install your carrier cab. AS SOON AS installation completes, soft reset the device. If your connection is still not working, go to Settings>Connections>Connections and try to configure or set up a new modem connection. You will have to enter in the username and password for USCC internet. This information can easily be found in EPST also.
thanks for the help guys
I appreciate every thing u guys suggested but had failed to report back that I had fixed it... infact my gf's phone was the same and I did go back and compare the two epst's and had found that a 2 had changed to a 1. changed that back and got my svcs back. I have however been looking for the qpst that everyone is speaking of but am at a loss as to where it is... any help?
QPST is available on the internets, somewhere. Do a Google search, I doubt it'd be safe for anyone to actually post that file on here. But you'll need to put the device in diagnostics mode to use QPST and also will need the modem drivers.
I'm sure if you search the XDA forums you'll find something
I have been having problems changing my number on my phone. I am using DCD 3.3.4 and radio 3.42.50. I can not access the page where i can change my number on the phone. I have the number changed on the bell network. When ever i put the code in, ##564848#, the phone starts dialing. If i do ##564848 then it tried to load EPST and closes. I talked to bell IT and they gave me a link to get the factory bell settings rom.

I am using the new boot loader 2.47no2chem i believe. If i try to load the rom, will i run into problems? Does anyone know of a better way to change my number? Thanks for any help in advance.

I was just talking about something similar over at geeks.
#codes do not work with some of the dialers.
Do not know if it will work, but find a dialer cab to install and retry. Worth a shot anyway.
I know this one has worked for me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429179
Thanks for the link, ill try it out. They say to uninstall the previous cab how do you do that?
I also been reading around that i need to install a cdma dialer cab, and this might be the problem why i cant get into the EPST page. If anyone has any more ideas let me know.
I installed another dialer cab with no luck. I installed the cab from the link mattsm posted above with no luck. It tries to load the page and then closes. I was thinking, I installed a DCD 3.3.4 rom but was that rom intended for GSM phones or cdma? I think the settings page was removed from the rom. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I want to install the rom from bell to get factory settings but i have a new boot loader, so will this be a problem? Thanks in advance
Cheers
The only other thing I think you could try is qpst.
It lets you edit the epst settings from your pc.
you will need the qpst program, htc drivers
google the qpst and I will post some drivers you need in this post with an edit.
after you get the drivers intalled and qpst on your pc, You will enter ##3424# on you phone and hook up your usb to phone and it will install the drivers. Let me find the link to qpst help and I will post it as well. I am sorry right now I am busy but will post these before I leave.
You can try my Diagnostic Shortcut CAB located in my HTC unlock directory, you dont even have to soft reset the shortcuts show up in programs/diagnostic folder.
There is also HTC windows drivers, Active sync 4.5, QPST 2.7 build 3.01 works perfect with TITAN, and many other tools. Plus instructions.
http://www.4shared.com/dir/13899878/aef6ea49/HTC_to_Windows_Drivers__Unlock_Tools.html
Start from ground up EPST change your number, MIN, anything you have to change to switch phone numbers. Then double check using PST and correct any settings. Let me know if you still have problems accessing PST with codes or shortcut. I will make you a Bell CAB that will fix your programming codes.
Enjoy!
Thanks alot for the help. I have to head to class right now but i will be back later today and try it out. When you say drivers, which drivers are you referring too? the drivers for my phone on vista? If you post some steps, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

thanks, He has the link. Got to go will check back later. Good Luck.
Yes the HTC windows drivers get installed on your PC. Then QPST, then put the phone in Diag Mode, then plug it in with active sync usb connections disabled, then access Service Programming using QPST. The instructions (SPCunlockinstructions.txt) are on my share site, they will at least get you into Service Programming the rest is up to you.
Another thing I found is to disable driver signing in Vista press F8 while booting up and disable driver signing. Also if you do a search on XDA for HTC vista drivers you will find a thread with some drivers and information you can try.
Thanks alot RyanMogul6800. I have downloaded most of the files that you have mentioned. I can't try them out until monday, but ill give them a shot for sure. Thanks again. The Bell cab you mentioned, is that the problem? I can't seem to understand why in the dialer it tries to load the page and then closes as if it was missing. Let me know what you think.

Thanks alot Ryan. I used the program and I changed my number with the qpst. It works now!!!
