Sprint Mogul pre-release ROM with GPS, lacks EVDO Rev. A

Sprint Mogul pre-release ROM with GPS, lacks EVDO Rev. A. It seems that a pre-release build (read: based on the official Sprint Mogul ROM) of the new Sprint Mogul ROM has been leaked to the public. The pre-release ROM brings the dormant GPS receiver to life, finally allowing its use to gain positioning data from Google Maps. Unfortunately, the leaked ROM lacks EVDO Rev. A support.

Inside sources are saying that the feature is in the final stages of development. The final version of the new Sprint Mogul ROM should enable your Sprint Mogul to rock both the GPS and EVDO Rev. A hardware that has been quietly biding its time within the handset.

This pre-release follows on after Sprint announced the new Sprint Mogul ROM should be available in Q1 08. We’re looking for a March release-window for the updated Sprint Mogul ROM. If you just can’t wait to get a crack at that GPS goodness within your Sprint Mogul, flash your handset with the pre-release build. The ROM installer is buggy and will likely fail a few times before you get the ROM working, so make sure you read the entire thread before proceeding - and make sure you know what you’re doing.
