Problems with 3.27 radio on VZW XV6800 - Page 2

**blasphemous_prime** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-20-2008, 02:53 PM

there are major problems with this custom ROM in general, and with the one i downloaded for my mogul after i installed a hard-SPL and the RUU afterwards, the biggest issue i had to live with was the fact that i had to reconnect my data sessions manually every hour. along with that, there's also no official GPS in it as well, which is a bigtime waste of program memory (i start off at 17mb max with added programs after bootup). it's as bad as verizon customers taking long enough to search for the nearest tower with a custom ROM like this... and the worst thing in the world is that there's no way to get rid of that hard-SPL unlocker even if i tried the titan 1.00 relocker 100 times over...

Did anyone find a solution to this problem? I really want to be able to use 3.27 on my Verizon xv6800, but whenever I flash to it my phone cannot connect to the network. Anyone have an idea about what needs to be done?

The first time I flashed the radio/ROM, I had to call VZW TS (was prompted to by *228 programing menu), and they did something on the back end, after I told them I hard reset the device. They explained that these phones have problems when hard reset that they are working on resolving still, and until then you are supposed to call every time it's hard reset to reprogram the phone and sync it with the account. But, since I was driving and they couldn't call me via land line to walk me through the temp resolution, the rep said, "here's a fix we can do on the account to resolve the problem temporarily, call us as soon as you can from a land line".

It's been working fine ever since, and that's about 2 months ago. Multipe different roms since then, and sitll 3.27 radio. And wouldn't you know it, I still have yet to be able to get to a land line to call them to reprog the phone with them. I will get around to it..someday...I swear!

Can you elaborate on the specific steps you followed? Did you start over by running the sprint.exe ROM & Radio update and then go back and flash the new custom ROM?

Also - did you have to get VZW to reauthenticate your phone (did you have to do this the first time too?)?

I basically followed the steps outlines in a few different places:
run the unlocker olipro 2.4, update the rom, update the radio, reset any settings as needed. The only difference is that I didn't run the sprint exe to get a ROM/Radio done together and go back to do the ROM alone.

Thanks!

Hi,
Is there ANY way to remove the relocker? I made the dumb )(*)( of trying to lock the phone because the 228 call said Unlocked SPL... Everything had been working when I went to bed. Even GPS and and the latest dcd rom (even after the relock dumb)_() move).

When I woke up the phone was rebooting over and over... almost makes it to the today screen, then wham - REBOOT.

So, I can't use the Unlocker (2.4) to get rid of the relocker because the unlocker insists on an activesync connection.

Arrrgg....

I've seen that you can put a rom on an SD card and get it installed that way. Would that work to nuke the relocked phone?

If I absolutely, positively want to start over, can I ?

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Hold down the power and camera buttons while resetting to get to the bootloader. You can then load an older ROM. This will allow you to boot up and connect to ActiveSync.

Then you can reload the current bootloader (2.4) and reload your custom ROM.

You might want to do what I'm doing and use the re-locker to load the Sprint ROM/RADIO and then move on. I'll let you know shortly if this works for me.

I did, but it won't load the Sprint ROM on the Verizon phone. "I get Error [294]: Invalid Vender ID"

What did you do to get around this??

Well, followed the guide and successfully got my phone on Sprint. (not what I was trying to do.)

As implied in the directions, installing the DCD ROM does not set the phone's settings back to Verizon when selecting Verizon. I am unable to edit the PST because it no longer accepts 000000 as the unlock code and using the MSL appears to only work when verified over a working data connection (which won't happen since I'm not a Sprint customer)

Not to knock the OP, what he did was a great service for many, but these directions need to be re-written. They may work well for Sprint users, but not for Verizon.
