Greetings all,
I really would like to mess with some of these cool custom ROMs, but before I go forward I want to have a clean path to go back. I am a consulting engineer with Verizon Wireless and was amazed to find that even the stores that have the software update PC (PST) do not have the stock software and have to send the units back to HTC if they need it done. Does anyone have or know where to find it ???? I looked at VBOYZ section on the ftp server and it is not exactly stock nor does it have the radio flash. Maybe a way to extract it from mine before I do it ??? I just do not want to get unstable operation and have no way back....thanks.

Both files are on the FTP. I know the radio is in my folder and the ROM should be in vboyz folder.

Greetings and thanks. I had my first Verizon 6800 a last week and messed up during the flash and somehow got the ROM flashed but then on a reset it reverted back to the old bootloader (i know why it happened, stupid mistake and I was tired) so I was stuck with the old bootloader and radio but new ROM hung on the splash screen. I could not get the bootloader to go back to 2.04, and the file from vboyz all stuck at 0% so I tried a sprint 2.09 and it went to 2% before getting the 'invalid vendor ID' error so I assumed it would have worked otherwise. It did go farther though. So I had the phone swapped out. Are you sure vboyz is ok ???? Thanks.

100% no since I haven't used it. I know of some others that did and no one reported a problem. If there is a question about that one there is also one in ImCoKeMaN's folder.

I posted about this issue in another thread. The VZW ROM's are not ship ROM's and only have the OS portion of it. If you fubar your XV6800 you are royally screwed and have to return the phone to Verizon. Sprint users do not have this problem since there are many official HTC releases available for the Titan. This is also why many people on these forums keep telling people like me who install the stock bootloader but forgot to downgrade the radio that they are idiots and can recover their device... they are wrong!

The radio is available also. It's on the FTP.

They are available seperately but cannot be flashed to the device when it's fubar'd like the full Sprint ROM Update can. They are dumps from a running XV6800 and are in no way official ROM's.
