XV6800 Upgrade sequence

c3327101 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-17-2008, 04:22 PM

Thank you to all who have helped me in this forum so far.
I wrote this today and it worked. I've been out of luck since Wed but I don't give up.

STEP ZERO (most who get to this post have done this much)
Download WMDC or ActiveSync depending on your OS version.
XP needs ActiveSync 4.5
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Vista needs WMDC
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Download Titan Unlocker and extract this into a folder.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093
Run Titanunlocker.bat (if 64 bit, edit the batch file or ignore the sleep4.exe errors)
It may prompt you on your device to run jumpspl.exe, say yes.
You will then see red green blue white screen with Spl 2.40.Olipro
Disconnect USB, then reconnect USB
Hit Enter and follow the RUU prompts on the screen
This replaces your Stock Boot loader to the SPL 2.40.Olipro version and unlocks your phone.
Click Finish.
STEP TWO
In the Hard SPL directory find this file, Hard_MFG_SPL_2.40_RUU_signed.nbh. rename or move it.
I just add a .DONE extension so the RUU won’t find it.
Extract this radio, Titan_radio_rom_3.42.40.zip and place the TITAIMG.nbh in the Hard SPL directory.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...om_3.42.40.zip
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the same HardSPL directory, following the prompts until it says Finish.
This updates your radio on your phone
STEP THREE
Then I run this custom packs, pick your own or make your own, it’s up to you.
dcd_titan_3.2.5.exe- under the ROM section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413039
Click Finish
Windows Mobile 6.1 is now on your device
Align the screen, customizations will run and reboot your device.
STEP FOUR
Execute this fix dcd Verizon Carrier 20080719.cab (and not 100% sure on this fix, Titan_Key.cab, but I do it anyway)
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/carriers/
http://utstar.com/pcd/downloads/XV68...x%201-9-08.zip

STEP 5
(This is paranoia, unplug from USB and do a soft reset, prob not required)
STEP 6
*22899 (does *228 option 1 and 2 at the same time)
You will see SPL Unlocked
Then Programming in Progress
PRL download is complete
NAM download is Complete
MDN download is Complete
Programming is Complete
Programming is Successful and it will reset your phone
If you’re A Key Survives, you are golden, if not, then 18009220204 for Verizon Support or if you have a second Verizon phone, you can log on to the website, click on your existing phone, click on Activate a Phone.
Type in your old phone ESN, wait 10 min, *22899, it should soft reset, then go browse website. Go back to the website, do the same thing with your ESN on the phone you updated, wait 10 min, *22899, it should soft reset. You may need to type in yournumber@vzw3g.com and vzw as the password, but you should be back in biz.

I've had my Verizon XV6800 for about a week - first WM phone for me, and this post is just what the doctor ordered. I need to continue reading and researching for a week or two more before I try this, but I've bookmarked this thread to use as my guide. Many thanks!

It's not that hard with a little reading. If your on Verizon, I am sure you read about needing an AKEY after flashing with a GPS rom. I will tell you if you use the newer .50 rom, I didn't need to call for an Akey, it just worked as it should

I gave THX and just wanted to say it also.

It probably would be easier to do this before activating the phone. As long as you follow the steps above, you wont "eff" it up. Once you get the bootloader successfully installed it is actually very difficult to eff it up. Just keep a <2GB SD Micro non-SDHC card around just in case (allows you to flash Radio and OS ROMS without activesync, just in case you do muck something up)
