I have some questions as a newbie and would appreciate links rather then answers that I have to search for. DASH has been a GREAT help and I have now loaded the 5055 ROM WM 6.1 on my phone and things are pretty good...

Some questions though:

Where do I find the Sprint specific stuff that is on their ROM? so I will have everything that a normal Sprint customer would have on my Mogul?

I have read countless posts and your petition on Sprint TV / Music and MMS and I am guessing there is no way to get it for the Mogul? I found a TV .cab file and loaded it on but it bombs out a lot and never seems to work. I am
legitimacy paying for it and I was told it comes with my service... oh and the FREE music channels too :) Hmmm...

Last but not least since I have the ALL IN ONE plan do I really be needing to pay an extra $20 for data if I want to hook up my phone as a modem to my laptop?? Just Curious if I can drop the data plan...

Thanks much! in advance!

just to let you know 5059 is released and a dream come true.......

1. its in the external rom under file explorer.
2. no matter what the sprint tv wont work as discussed before countless times.
3. and for the tv and music search for mobitv and it will give you music match, mobitv, and xm radio for free.......
4. why get a ppc without a data package you will need it for many apps..... also you can use pdanet for the tethering for free .

Ok so just a few questions if I go with 5059 ROM that means I have to back it up and then restore all my stuff because a NEW ROM will completely wipe it?? or am I wrong???

As far as the data plan the new $99 comes with an unlimited data plan but they are making me pay and extra $20 for hooking it up as a modem to a laptop to get the Internet access on my laptop... IS that what you mean by PDANET and tethering?? IF so I will get ride of the extra $20 because the $99 comes with unlimited data, so it says...

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Umm another option is if you currently have $15 or whatever unlimited data pavkage on your account so you could use the web to surf from your phone, if you want to use your laptop or wireless connection divice there is a app that will turn your phone into like a "mini-router" and you won't have to pay any additional charges from sprint for that. Pretty much turns your phone into to a router so wherever there is service on your phone..you will have internet on your laptop or wireless device!

Could you do me a favor could you point me to the link on how to upgrade??
I have searched and I am sure it is here in the 10000 posts but I can't find it. Every time I upgrade I get into this constant reboot thing and I am sure I am doing it wrong... If you could point me to the post on the right way to upgrade to the 5059 etc... I'd much appreciate it... All I need is the link :)

Thanks again,
Tom

OK I went to the link and actually had been there before... I have no idea what the unread posts have to do with me??? but I went there as well and looked.

I found on PPCGeeks the Post of "An Easy Guide to Upgrading" which has been referenced here and followed it as best I could to the letter. I seem to get my Titan rebooting constantly and thats about all it does well. It loads then restarts itself. This happened when I did the 5055 but I kept repeating the procedure about 10 times or so and it stopped...

I did upload an image (attached) which may be normal but when I am ready to update to the 5059 ROM in the RUU window last prior to updating it does not reflect the stock ROM only that I am going to update to the 5059 ROM and then the 5059 loads and keeps rebooting and rebooting once done............

Any ideas???

take a look at what version bootloader you have running,.... your phone may need to me unlocked?? it shoudl say 2.40.. that means unlocked and ready to install the romm 5059 ruu file in boot loader mode..... to get to bootloader mode (rainbow screen).. hold the camera button and power button down while soft resetting!

Try flashing back to the stock ROM, and use the unlocker and then flash to 5059.

Ok Im flashing back to the stock rom and using the locker program screen
reads:

TITA100
SPL-1.06.0000
CPLD-9

Now going to upgrade to the Sprint shipping ROM..... it craps out at about 75% so i have to restart it..... OK restarted and now it loaded the stock
ROM I reboot and let it customize.... I've done it both ways......

Now i'm going to run the unlocker.... Screen now reads:

TITA100
SPL-1.10.01ipro

Afterwards it gets stuck in the boot loader so it tells me to flash my ROM now.
So I run the RUU with the 5059 in it... Again it doesn't tell me that I am upgrading from the stock ROM, just to the Nochem5059 so I hit OK... It
finishes the upgrade and I turn it on and..................... during the screen alignment it just reboots randomly and now it will just start up and keep crashing randomly if I let it all day.......

What am I doing wrong??? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DASH,
then I think that's the problem I followed your link and your rapishare doesn't work do I went to the XDA site and the thread is dated 9/27/07 and when i download theirs for some reason its the wrong version. Do you have another link for the 2.40 version?
