XV6800 Searches Endlessly for Tower with anything but the stock radio ROM
SOLVED! SEE MY POST NEAR END OF THREAD!
Hi All, I have seen other reports of this problem, but never any solutions. I have an XV6800 that I purchased as a backup phone to my touch pro. When I got the touch pro it felt so flimsy that I really did not think it would last. So I am now confident in it and decided to get out the 6800 and put it on eBay. So I decided to play with it a bit before putting it up for sale. If I flash any other radio than what is in the Verizon stock ROMS, upon reboot, the phone will perform an endless search for the Verizon towers. I can force it to connect by dialing *22801 which gets me a U.S. Cellular error message. As soon as I hang up I get a Verizon lock and full EVDO signal. From that point forward, the phone works great! It gets GPS locks in under 10 seconds!! If I could figure out this problem I would be 50/50 on considering moving to the 6800 over the TP. Pandora and streaming audio work flawlessly on the 6800 and it feels like a real phone. There is still no VGA Pandora app that actually works properly... And Audio on the TP has a lot of clicks and pops.... So as I have said, I have seen others report about this issue, but never seen a solution or the OP ever come back saying it was resolved. So I bring up the issue again to see if anyone has any unposted insight into this problem. |

If you get a us cellular message then likely you dont have a verizon prl on the phone. What number is your prl under device info?

Well,
I have flashed back to stock again to check all the numbers and settings. Phone works perfectly. In the stock configuration: PRL: 51638 PRI: 1.35_002 Radio: 1.30.60 ROM:2.09.605.8 MSID: Area code and phone number MDN: Area Code and phone number A Key: Blank I am now going to unlock, upgrade radio and flash and see what I get.. EDIT: OK, upgraded Radio and flashed custom ROM: PRL: 51638 PRI: 2.03_002 Radio: 3.35.04 ROM: 3.08.666.1 MSID: Area code and phone number MDN: Area Code and phone number A Key: Blank So everything is the same but Radio, PRI and ROM... |

Well,
Like I said, it works great after I make the initial *22801 call which connects to a USC tower (I guess) and then gets Verizon as soon as I hang up.. It works great. GPS so fast it spins my head, but it endlessly searches for a Verizon signal after every reboot... If I just dial *228 while it says no service, I just get repeated dropped call notices... I do not get it... |

Where did you get your custom rom and radio?

I used the PPC kitchen to make the ROM. I used Verizon as the carrier. The radio is the one from this GAMEDIC thread:

No ideas. Did you install the correct carrier cab?
