First off thank you in advance for anyone that helps me with this issue.

I live in Alaska and have ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) as my carrier. I own the HTC PPC-6800. I previously owned this exact same phone through them and was able to update it and get Windows 6.1 and GPS and everything working. Well unfortunately the phone has some hardware issues and I had to return it and they gave me a brand new one. So naturally I went to unlock it again and get it back to a custom ROM.

I believe I used Hard-SPL-MFG to unlock it and then flashed it with the Sprint ROM that enabled GPS . I think I screwed up here though cause I let the sprint customization run, and from what I read that was not suppose to happen. Since then I have tried everything I can read in the forums, and have had no success. My phone is stuck in digital roaming, and every time I try and use the internet or anything with data I get an error saying my user name or password is incorrect and can not connect. I have also tried dialing *228. I get “hello and welcome to ACS” I press 2 to use the Automated wireless activation feature and get “sorry we were unable to unlock your phone NPC error, please wait while we connect you to an ACS rep”. I have not talked to ACS yet.

I have seen one post about this issue but it was for a Vogue and the files he had posted to fix the issues will not work with my phone, or at least I could not get them to.

When I enter boot loader (power/camera and reset button) this is what I see:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9

Under the device settings I see this:
ROM version: dcd2.1.0
ROM date:12/05/07
Radio: 3.21.00
Protocol version DCAAXAM-43508
Hardware version: 0003
PRL version 50855
PRI version: 2.00_003
Browser version: MSIE 6.0
ESN: 36C2D2DE
ERI version: 0

I have tried more ROMS than I can count, anything from ones I find in the forum to ones I cook my self using BuildOS

I have looked under the EPST and have to code to be able to change the settings in there. I’m not to sure what to try and change in there. if anything. I have also tried numerous PRL's. I don’t remember the site I downloaded them from. Started with a C.

At this point I am not concerned if the GPS works. I just want the phone to get out of this constant Digital roaming and I want to be able to use my data again.

From my understanding I need to get a much older Radio back on it, but I cant find any.

Someone please help.. give advice.. show me a link with a walkthrough on how to fix this issue.. I can't be the only one that has had this happen.

Thank you so much in advance for your help, and much thanks to everyone and there support in making custom ROMs and all these goodies that everyone has grown to love and can’t live without.

Thanks again in advance,
Andy
