I have downgraded my rom for the new rom released last week to the old rom. I got the old rom of this site in the sticky thread above. my question is do I have the right version. I ask this cause my startup screen is different than it was before. it has the old red sprint logo in stead of the yellow sprint logo. if there is a different rom version that is not the new rom from last week where can I find it.

thanks. cody

That's the only one out there. Trust me, I know; I released it!!

Sprint might have done a "slipstream" change to the base ROM code to change the logo from the old red one to the new yellow one for the newer model of the phone, but I got my phone back in September and it always had a red Sprint logo during the initial startup until I did the ROM upgrade last weekend.

So now you have the "true" original, for better or worse.

i was happy to see the new logo on the new ROM ... then i downgraded (to test) and the red logo was back ... i'd stick with the old rom if they had the new logo on there. Oh well

I would say for worse. You will probably see that you will have less program space available with the old "red Logo" rom. The original "red Logo" sprint rom added about 5-10 MB of diagnostic type files to the PPC for data logging purposes. Remember that the original "red Logo" phones were for testing and only issued to a small few business customers. Once the phone was released to the general public (first Yellow Logo phones) it came with a more "leaner" rom. I know this because My brother had a new logo phone and I had a old logo phone, both with identical setups. I noticed that he had 24 MB of memory left and I only had 14MB left! So I unlocked the roms on both phones and replaced my ROM with the rom on the Yellow logo phone. I Hard reset, and reinstalled all of the apps and viola! I had 24MB free!

So the old Red Logo rom has extra stuff that will take up some space.

so is it possible to get this rom?

ok, I've loaded the old rom, unlocked it, removed junkware, and reinstall. I have plenty of room now my only question is... is this rom ok? I don't really care what start up screen I have I just want it to work like it use to. was there any difference with the two old roms after removing junkware. sorry for the silly questions but I just want to make sure. thanks guys, cody

I do have a copy but it is to big to post...
