Install New Sprint ROM & Remove The Junk

Thanks for Rally1 & bit_bucket over at pdaphonehome.com

1) Install the new ROM update, and let it do it's thing and install all of the junkware. Download it here

2) Delete any existing partnerships with ActiveSync, and then reconnect the PPC6700 to the computer.

3) When prompted create a new partnership, and uncheck all of the checkmarks by the sync items, so you get an ActiveSync profile that does not sync anything.

4a) Download the Apache ROM unlocker from the following link: http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&catid=59&id=9459#9459

4b) Download Total Commander from the following link: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe

4c) Download ROM2 viewer
http://urprey.com/web/ppc6700/unlock.ext.rom.wizard.cab

5) For the ROM Unlocker, they used RAR to compress. You will need to get WinRAR to unrar. Once that is done put the ROM Unlocker on your PPC6700 by using the Explore option of ActiveSync.

6) Install TotalCommander over Active Sync.

7) For the ROM2 viewer, you first need to add .CAB to the file name, by renaming the file. Once that is done put the ROM2 viewer on your PPC6700 by using the Explore option of ActiveSync.

8) Disconnect the PPC6700 from the computer and use File Explorer on it to find the ROM Unlocker & ROM2 viewer.

9) Next click the ROM unlocker file (on your phone) and it will pop a dialog box. Click ok.

10) Click on the unlock.ext.rom.wizard.cab (on your phone) and it should say it installed successfully

11) Soft reset the device

12) Once back up run the total commander program out of Start -> Programs -> Total Commander.

13) Type in the path \Extended_ROM2\ in the path box

With steps 14 & 19 it is good to make a backup copies, and put them in your storage card or PC first.

14) Select the config file from that folder move it to you Documents and Settings to modify it.

15) Pull up the properties on the file and uncheck the read only attirbute of the config file.

16) Use total commander to edit it. Romove the following lines:

CAB: \Extended_ROM\WTLAudiblePlayerPocketPC.arm.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\AudibleSample.sa.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\sprint_software_store.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\GetGL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Disable_RemoveProgram.sa.CAB

17) Pull up the properties of the file again and re-enable the read only attribute of the config file.

18) Move the file back to \Extended_ROM2\ directory.

19) Delete the above cabs from the ROM2

20) Hard Reset the device

21) After it installs all of the necessarry files, go to the remove programs setting and remove the 2 programs listed there. I dont know what is installing them, but they are junkware related so get rid of them.

You should see a String Value named "Accept Header" (if it is not present create it), add the below text to its value:

,text/vnd.wap.wml

Reset your phone.

 

You have the SPCS PPC-6700 whereas we have the Verizon version... perhaps that makes the difference? Also, have you installed the ROM update yet? It's not available for VZW yet.

 

Yes, that or the new ROM has to be the reason it's not working on VX. I did install the new ROM. I just hope Verizon dosn't mess it up for you guys, its a great update.

 

How do you hard reset as opposed to soft rset. What is meant by BOTH soft buttons? cheers

 

A hard reset is done by pressing & hold both soft keys (they are marked with -), and inserting the stylus in the normal reset hole on the bottom of the phone.

FYI, With a hard reset you will lose all installed programs, contacts, settings, etc... so please make sure you back up all your important things first.

 

Re: XV6700 modifications and tools

I get "Please Enter Unlock Code" when I do this. Any idea on what that means? Thx.

 

Re: XV6700 modifications and tools

Yeah, if it's the Verizon version, it's all zeroes.

 

Re: XV6700 modifications and tools

They still do. I had mine for my 6700, but lost it during my move.

 

so does the Sprint 6700 not include fieldtrial.exe? I would assume it does but who knows. I like the fact that it's so easy to get the phone into field test mode.

 

Yes it dose.

 

What Exactly Does The Field Trail Do?

 

i got an PPC6700 but someone put a password on the start i cant access to my device, what can i do??? if i make and hard reset can erase the password?? i have a backup of my information.

thanks
