Please read the following important notes before starting the upgrade:
Before you proceed, please confirm that this software upgrade is a newer version than what is currently loaded on your device. If it is the same version and your device is operating normally, there is no need to reload the software. To determine what version is running on your device, refer to the image on the left (the newest version is pictured) and note the ROM version and Radio version. Next, go to Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information on your device. If your ROM and Radio versions are different than what is pictured at left or the ROM Date is older, you should upgrade.
Before you run the ROM Upgrade Utility (RUU), make sure you check and do the following first:
1. If you are having challenges connecting with ActiveSync, please try the following on your device: Start > Settings > Connection Tab > USB to PC and de-select Enable advanced network functionality.
2. The standby and hibernation modes are disabled on the computer. Click here to view instructions on how to do this. If using a laptop, make sure your laptop is plugged into a power source.
3. All running applications on the computer have been closed.
4. Ensure that your device has a battery level of at least 50% (Start > Settings > System Tab > Power > Battery Tab). If the battery “dies” during the upgrade process, there is a chance that it will not recover and will need to be sent for repairs.
5. The update can take up to 25 minutes so set aside time when you will not be interrupted.
6. All data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade (music, pictures, 3rd party applications, etc); be sure to back up all of your data using ActiveSync (Windows Mobile Device Center, if you are running Windows Vista) prior to upgrading. Click here to view detailed instructions on backing up your data using ActiveSync.
7. Do not interrupt the upgrade process or press any buttons until the process has been completed (the device will reset itself when the update is done).
General Procedure on Installing the ROM Update
1. Back up your personal data from the Mobile Device to your computer using ActiveSync (Windows Mobile Device Center, if you are running Windows Vista) if you want to ensure you don’t lose any of your data. Click here to view detailed instructions on backing up your data using ActiveSync.
2. On your computer, run the ROM Update Utility (RUU) to install the ROM update to your Mobile Device. Click here to view detailed instructions on installing the ROM update.
3. Restore your personal data back to your Mobile Device using ActiveSync (Windows Mobile Device Center, if you are running Windows Vista). (Optional) Click here to view detailed instructions on restoring your data using ActiveSync.
WARNING: During the upgrade process, do not attempt to make/receive calls, press any buttons on your device or disconnect the device from the USB cable as this will stop the update and your device will be rendered inoperable!!!
The upgrade process takes up to 25 minutes. It is recommended that you close all programs on your PC prior to starting the update program and do not open any applications or files while the update is in process. All personal data stored on the device will be lost. Make sure you save all pictures, videos, and important files to your PC prior to performing the update process.

Backup Contacts on Mogul
For those that want to backup their contacts before installing the new ROM:
1. Go here.
2. Download the newest version of PIM Backup (big blue “Download” about halfway down the page).
3. Then unzip the downloaded file and copy the file “PPCPimBackup.exe” onto your Mogul.
4. Using the Mogul’s File Explorer find PPCPimBackup.exe and run it.
5. Leave the Action as Backup, make sure the things you want to backup are checked, and click the Next button. If you have a storage card, make sure that the backup file is saved there. Click Next again and your contacts, IMs, etc will be backed up.
6. Just to be safe, I copied the PPCPimBackup application and backup file to my desktop before I ran the ROM update.
7. After the ROM update is done, copy the PPCPimBackup application and backup file back to the Mogul, run the app again, and set the Action to Restore. Click Next, set the behaviors you want (I think that by default it deletes any existing IMs, Contacts, etc. and replaces them with the ones in the backup file). Click Next again and the info in the backup set is restored.

Click on “Settings” (Settings must be highlighted) and select “Edit”–> “New String Value”

Here is how to get your MSL = Master Security Lock code without calling Sprint.
- Download this file here .. this is the getspl file (in zip form)
- This program GETSPC.exe is very simple to use. Run the GetSPC.exe on your phone and in the Input field type in your ESN(Hex) in the input field (you wrote this down earlier)
- Press <go>
- The number produced in the output field is your MSLNumber (EPST unlock code)
- Exit the application
Important to remember -When you run GETSPC.exe case size is very important. If you use lower case you will get the wrong code.
