Problems with 3.27 radio on VZW XV6800

[Geckotek]

Update: I was able to recover back to a VZW stock ROM and try again. Second time around I didn't let the Sprint cutomizations run. That fixed the problem of my phone being "Sprintized". However, it didn't help with my issues acquiring signal (which was the entire reason I went through this exercise.) BLAH.


At this point, the best work-around I have is to dial *22802 after a reboot. That acquires signal and then I just hang up. For now it gets the job done until we can find a real fix.

bummer... thanks for trying this out though. what a PITA. I assume back under stock ROM things worked fine and connected right away?

Thanks pkp190!!!!


Edit: Spoke too soon. After another *228 the problem has returned and trying it again didn't fix it this time. Will keep you updated.

i am having this exact same problem, everything works except the soft reset causes my phone to take forever to connect unless i force it.

only other problem i seem to be having is my programs randomly crash. im not sure if the DCD rom has a closer built in or what but pocketPLUS doesn't seem to work like it use to and programs have a tendency to decide when they wanna close and when they don't whether i hit the X or not.

all is well.
I flashed back to the stock VZW ROM (third time I think), I made sure all of my provisioning issues with Verizon were worked out (finally had the tech "kick the switch").
1) Then I proceeded to load the 2.4 bootloader,
2) then the 3.16 Unauthorized Sprint ROM w/ radio,
3) then finally installed a cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.

Things to note:
1) I never let the Sprint ROM boot up
2) I had no signal so ran *22802 then hit End as soon as it connected
3) Still no signal after reboot
4) No A key, MSID, or MDN issues, but I did re-enter the MSID and MDN as discussed in other threads
5) After re-entering MSID and MDN then after reboot I had signal
6) never had to run *228 to OTA program (in the past programming with *228 has reversed the effect of re-entering the MSID and MDN)

In general, I feel that the OTA from VZW sends down some programming that conflicts with the 3.27 radio...but I have nothing to prove that.

GPS is running great (I just loaded the AstroGPSLauncher)
Not sure about Rev A. It does seem snappy. What's a good site to test from the phone?
