Re: An Easy Guide to Upgrading

Just a warning to Verizon XV6800 users: Running the sprint radio mod affects your ability to connect to the Verizon wireless network, regardless of the cabs you run afterward. I've flashed back to the stock Verizon ROM and found that while I am able to provision fine, as well as make and receive calls, I cannot connect to the data network, even with the default settings (xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com, vzw). Verizon support is convinced that the handset must be repaired.

Just a warning. To be thorough, I did the following:
1) Loaded Olipro SPL 2.4 unlocker
2) Loaded Titan 3.3.5 Sprint Radio update
3) Loaded DCD WM 6.1 3.1.2

Decided that it was using more memory than the stock load. No picture messaging, and stuck on sprint network (even after hard reset, canceling the customization cabs, and loading the dcd -Titan Verizon carrier cabs. -- Still amazing though, and threaded texting was a plus) So.... I then:



4) Relocked the device using the Titan Relocker
5) Loaded the signed Verizon complete ROM
6) Let the stock VZW customizations run
7) Hard reset - probably pointless but just in case
Provisioned the phone with *228; followed by the reset - tested phone calls - groovy - no data
8a) Default settings for DUN were blank - tried forcing XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com, vzw (where XXXXXXXXXX was my MDN)
9) *22899 to update the PRL - still able to make phone calls, but no data
10) Called Verizon, who told me that there's absolutely NO WAY to change the Data Connect username and password through a misconfigured EPST (sprint radio rom...)

I'm going into the store to see if they'll replace the device for me. I have a feeling it won't be a cake walk, but hey, it's Verizon, not Sprint. Maybe I'll get lucky. I'm not convinced the device is busted, but ol' Leroy sounded convinced it was on the phone. Here's to a working XV6800.

Thank you for your time.
