Qwest rom upgrade to dcd 3.0.1- data works- wifi does not - Page 2

HD2 - What Radio are you running? And what ROM version? The reason I ask is because your issue sounds alot like what would happen if you were running a 3.16 based ROM on the new 3.35 radio..... I had this happen until I went to 3.35 based ROM.....

INFO - 3.16 ROMS go with the 3.27 radio
3.35 ROMS go with the 3.35 or 3.37 radio

man i told myself that i would not get involved , but u guys really miss the mark when it comes to the carrier settings/
im not going to go into great lengths to get u going, it probably would just confuse u more. But during this whole thread i never heard u attempt to ( i forgot what its called IOTA i think) but its were u dial *228 to reprogram your phone to the specifications of your carrier. im going to go out on a limb and say that the upgrade shouldnt have changed your esn, and to the best of my knowledge, upgrading to a rom wouldnt do that. it does sound like what "azclown" had said about the radio version. i myself had to find the right way to lock and unlock my phone to be able to upgrade to the different ROMs/

make sure u upgrade and downgrade the (Hard_MFG_SPL) as needed for the roms and radios/

example; for me to try radio 3.37, i had to downgrade my "Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40 " to the 1.20"

then i was able load the new radio, of coarse i wanted to load a fresh copy of DCD 3.04, and forgot to put back the Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40. needless to say i kept getting error messages until i realized i forgot to reload the necessary Hard_MFG_SPL 2.40 version to be able to load the custom rom/ needless to say it is a pain in the butt, but everything worked out/

PS: i also thanked AZclown 4 u, he deserves it.

================================================== ============

i cant believe some of the trouble u guys get into with this rom upgrading/ I have cricket as my carrier ( which they dont carry this phone, and insurance is out of the question, and u better believe that their tech agents r clueless, BUT i have managed to get everything working just fine / and u can 2

I haven't flashed back to the qwest ROM yet but considering doing so. I will have to find it first. I don't see it on the HTC website.

First of all, you all deserve kudo's for helping out. I so much appreciate your help. I apologize for being a NOOB and not knowing how these things work. Just so you know I have spent many, many hours on this website checking things out on the Mogul months before I bought as well as after I got it. I think azclown hit it on the head. You see, I was following someone's very well written upgrade. When it said to do a hard boot I held both soft keys down while I hit the reset. Here's where the problem is. After doing more research someone wrote that you must hold those keys down until you get a prompt from the device and answer the questions. I know, I know, such a dumb thing huh? Well, as a NOOB I follow instructions. I wasn't prepared to make assumptions. So, I have re-flashed the Sprint ROM and the phone rings. Not sure what else or if everything works. I have to go to work and will check it out tonight when I get home. Thank you everyone. Sorry for being a PIB.

Well, looks like that wasn't it. To answer your questions:

azclown: I have a radio of 3.35.04 and the dcd 2.3.2 ROM for Qwest. I used the new sprint rom to start with.

bunvilla: I tried your *228 and it says that is not a valid feature or something along those lines. I used the Olipro 2.40 to flash both ROMs. I don't get any error messages. Thanks for giving azclown credit. I agree, he does deserve it.

I should probably look this up before i reply to this thread, but i'm not gonna.

i don't think the 3.35 series radio is compatible with the 2 series dcd rom.

you might want to try the 3 series dcd rom- 3.0.1

3.35 and 3.0.1 are compatible for sure

Isn't the 3.0.1 ROM for Sprint? I have Qwest service.

the roms are for the phone / and the only thing that is different is the carriers customization pkg / and all it does is automatically setup the registry with the server info for the specific carrier/ meaning that u can (if had to ) manually input all the configurations yourself/ forget your carrier and concentrate on loading right radio with rom version and hardSPL

Thanks for that......so, after many more hours of research and days of my phone not working correctly, I am gathering that I have to flash my phone back to the original Qwest ROM and Radio, then flash to the new Sprint and then flash to dcd's 3.0.1? I do have the ROM's but unable to find the radio if this is the case. I read somewhere (xda?) that if I just flash directly to dcd's 3.0.1 ROM from where I'm at now, I could brick the phone. Is my understanding correct so far?

Thanks for all of your help.
