OMJ's 3.03, 3.09, M2D WM6.1 Custom Touch ROMs w/ User Customization! Updated 10/9/08

[popeantonio]

After flashing OMJ's Manilla custom ROM on my Verizon xv6900, everything seems to work except my data connection. I just get a message stating "could not connect for an unknown reason" or "username or password is wrong".

Steps taken initially:

1. Ran CoKeman's unlocker
2. Flashed stock Alltel ROM for radio upgrade
3. Flashed OMJ's rom.

I've re-tried with the bell rom as the second step, but this didn't help. I've also called verizon about an a-key renewal, but that didn't work. They also gave me a username and password, which also didn't help.



Anyone with verizon who has got this working: Please help.

Thanks,
The Pope

We will need more information, like the current state of the phone, and so on, because I really can't tell from the information you've provided which step is generating the problem. If it was during the unlocking process, ImCoKeMaN is the guy who wrote the unlocker, in that case you should either PM him, or post in his unlocker thread...

I've heard that after installing custom ROMs some VZW customers had to update their phone... I'm not precisely sure of the code for VZW, but for Alltel it would be *228 option 3. You might try that. It certainly won't do any harm. The other alternative is to update your PRL (which might be *228 option 2). -- though this might be essentially the A-Key renewal thing you did... Other thing to check is that you are infact on a VZW tower... EDIT: *228 may actually help.

Good ammount of information there... check your settings again, it's been the cause of not getting GPS reception for many people... If you need to verify your settings see my post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=240

Another thing to include is what Google Maps says while you try & use the GPS, some have reported troubleshooting help with Google Maps' output.

PS: Something worthy of note to (newer) readers, don't go so far as to do the fast lock on hack if your GPS simply isn't working, it's complex, and can mess your phone up, once you have GPS working reliably then you can go ahead and do it, but if you can't get your GPS working to begin with, there's no sense in adding a complex & potentially harmful step.

Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Hardware -> Baud rate: 4800
Settings -> System -> External GPS -> Access -> (Checked) Manage GPS automatically

If these settings don't get you a position fix with your GPS (in an unobstructed sky view with proper time to lock on) the GPS speed hack won't do you any good (and will just give you an opportunity to possibly brick your phone).

I'm very sure done all above setting as you mentioned. Yes, I use "Use GPS" command on Google Maps and the screen keep saying ... Seeking GPS Satellites (0) and GPS device (0) ...
But once when I'm using ghettofreeryder's ROM, the google maps was able to view 5 GPS Satellites like I mentioned on my previous post.

Is it possible on Server IP & Port Server setting on registry and/or GPSone since my carier provider is not Sprint?

probably not....what issues? v3 running great for me.....most of the updates did not actually update m2d.

My Diamond will be here Mon....time to move on...

It's a real pain to keep checking what priority the message is being sent with. Is there a registry option I can add to force the priority to normal? I have tried WDM's rom, and I don't have this problem (just a bunch of other ones ) Any ideas?

I am currently using OMJ's V3 custom on the Bell network.

Thanks OMJ for a really solid Rom!

this is the 1st I have heard of? how did u know your msgs had high priority? I checked my msg options & it was set to normal.

Will that be the end of your Touch ROMs or will you still keep your Touch around for other purposes?

Looks like I'm gonna need to learn to cook.

It is very plausible if your carrier doesn't provide PDE servers (which I just learned must stand for Position Determination Entity) and you entered them that your GPS may not work because it's waiting for a response from a PDE server. I would suggest PM'ing MrObvious as he seems rather knowledgeable about GPS, and possibly shadow-tech since his hack might be causing you problems (as in, your carrier may not have PDE servers for aGPS & if that's the case you probably shouldn't have applied his hack).

Good Luck & let us know what the cause is and what fixes it for future reference!

Sprint
Tried sprint and bell to upgrade radio didnt they come up with a connection error and it is connected directly via usb (no hubs)
and when it boots it does not show anything but no radio

2 things....

-if u want to flash a custom 3.xx rom, you need to be unlocked w/ 2.31, 0.41 was for the older non-gps roms.

-you dont even need to be unlocked to flash the official Sprint.

What is your current ROM version? is it a WM6.0 rom?

Are you going into bootloader then trying to flash?

Does the phone boot into windows?

[diesburg59105]

thanks for the advice, but its not the prl, there isnt even any sprint towers in my area with evdo..... in my area sprint only offers voice coverage and 1x........ but i know its not the prl because my new touch gets evdo perfectly with the 30033 prl and the 40038 prl....... the other touch will get evdo with neither

[diesburg59105]

alright1 awesome news ... for me that is.... i fixed the evdo problem on the touch..... in epst settings, the hdr auth password was set to the wrong esn...... your hdr auth password is your esn.... well, my phones esn differs from what it was originally... when i changed the esn... did 228 option 3... it apparently updates everything except for the hdr auth password...... just to let ppl know in case they do the same thing as me.... anyways, thanks for the help guys

I know where I can find some help on how to cook ROMs, but I'm rather fond of your ROMs, any suggestions or pointers? (I'll be using that M2D v3 til I have a reason to upgrade..)
