Uscc 6800 Gps, Custom Roms, Downgrading Guide

I've been told it is set by the sending tower, or something like that.
I've changed mine and it just gets reset afterwards. I think this is a problem with all USCC upgrades at this time. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for this problem.

i'm having problems getting bitpim to work correctly, i type in the ##3241 or whatever and windows detects two ports but cannot find any drivers for them. any ideas?

also does installing the new rom/radio delete all the data on my phone? i'd like to back up my phonebook

Yes, do a sync with your pc before you start, your phone will be wiped completly.

well i have sprint, so not sure about ##3241 code, what is that?

These are the ##codes from my 6800:

##3282 (DATA)
##3424 (DIAG)
##778 (PST)
##2539 (AKEY)
##33284 (DEATH)
##7738 (PREV)
##775 (PRL)
##786 (RTN)
##8626337 (VOCODER)

yeah yeah it's actually DEBUG, but DEATH sounds better

i have a hell of a problem. there was some time lag after i ran the Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and the titan radio 3.35, and now when i try to flash the rom, it gives me an error that the phone is not connected, though the usb is connected and the phone is in the cradle. i am running Vista, and getting the phone to sync in the first was never easy. is there anything i can do or did i just ruin my phone?

*EDIT*

i restarted both the phone and computer with no luck, the exact error i am getting is ERROR [260]: CONNECTION

the upgrade utility cannot connect to your phone. please check that your cradle is connected and the phone is in the cradle.

EDIT # 2

never mind, i figured it out. i did a hard reset (camera button, power button, reset button) and the multicolored screen came up, everything worked fine from there

well depending on the rom you flashed, it might not have the files for GPS, there's a dll cab floating around somewhere. as far as flashing another rom, its kinda like formatting your computer - when you flash the new one it erases the old OS portion

alright thanks. i used everything per this guild. Titan_No2Chem_5060_WM6.1 selections and the 3.35.04 radio. gps was set to active. i tried searching for gps but i think the forums hate me or something because i got no results?? might you have a link to that dll cab
