Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

help! i upgraded the radio rom via sd and now it won't get past verizon splash screen when booting. still on stock wm6 rom

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

did you put it in bootloader and then flash your custom rom?

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

no. i was following the tutorial and it first said to update the radio rom and i did the sd way exactly how it says. i haven't cooked a rom yet, so im only as far as the radio rom part and now when i boot it gets stuck at vzw splash

bootloader
 

Re: bootloader
 

yes, i got past the update and update complete thing. when i hit reset i put the phone back in bootloader and it went back to the update screen. so whenever i reset without going into bootloader it gets stuck

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

were does it get stuck at?

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

the verizon splash shows up and has all the versions etc. at the bottom, then they go away and the verizon splash just sits there

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

then most likly there isnt anything wrong with your phone. what radio did you flash?

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

3.42.30

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yea just cook your rom and then flash it and it should be fine!

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

thanks a lot. the reason i was worried is because i've tried buildos on 2 PC's, and i always get the "rom folder doesn't exist" error. i am running .net framework 2.0+ on both pc's.

EDIT: so if i can't cook a rom i was hoping my phone wasn't bricked

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

most likely it isnt. but i use ppckitchen. that way i can use No.2 Chem's 5054

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yeah im using ppckitchen with no2chem's 5076 i can't seem to get it to work

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

as in whats it doin?
~chevy

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

"ROM folder doesn't exist" and something along the lines of couldn't find "ROM/XPI"

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

try reinstalling

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

tried reinstalling...same error

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

well then idk. i havent had this error. did you check on the ppckitchen site

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yeah. i was choosing the no2chem .rar on startup of buildos, instead of choosing the selections.txt ](*,)

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Hey drewden did you run the updater and select ppcgeeks_OEM.rar in the updates? You have to choose a selections text when it starts up. I am here now so post any questions and I will try to walk you through it.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yeah i was accidentally choosing the "titan_no2chem" .rar file instead of the selections text. so now i got it working. sry im a ppckitchen noob

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Thats what this is for - the noob. Did you get a ROM flashed and did it boot up on your phone fine? Where is that titan_no2chem.rar file located? I have never seen it.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yeah i got it flashed and booted and everything. sorry i was being lazy when i said titan_no2chem.rar or whatever i meant the actual .rar file that the ROM is located in. i am having one problem though...google maps doesn't seem to find any satellites and gps was the whole reason i went through all this trouble

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Did you happen to put HTC GPS tool in your ROM? If so you can find it under Start>Settings>Connections. If you have it hit open port. Wait about 10-20 seconds and hit start test to see if it finds any satalites. Also if you put Windows live on it, give it a try. On Google Maps are you clicking menu, Use GPS?

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yep i have gps tool and when i use it it finds satellites but doesn't fix any. and yes i checked the "use GPS" on google maps

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

I had a little trouble the first time to get a Lock. Use the GPS tool again after you reset your phone. Sometimes it takes a while on the first one. I have not tested my GPS in a while I think I will go do that now.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Ok I had nt used GPS since I flashed a ROM. I went outside and ran google which did not lock. I used HTC GPS toll and got no lock after a minute. I chose Function in bottom left corner and chose Quick GPS on. It locked after abot 45 secs- 1minute. Also there is a progam GPS toggle. It is a today screen app that works pretty good t turn GPS Off/ON from the today screen. If you cook it in then go to settings>today>items and select it to show up on today screen.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Were you able to get GPS working?

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Nope. I'm thinking about flashing to a diff rom. i couldn't find the gps today plugin either

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

BAF GPS toggle is he name in the kitchen.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

all right i downloaded the plugin and it turned gps on. still nothing. i used gps viewer and it scanned all the coms (com1, com2) and they all either said "open failed" or "none"

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Com 4 is the correct COM.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

yeah it scanned all the way up to com9 and showed nothing

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

I heard this works for Verizon...don't know what carrier you have but you may want to try this if it is Verizon.......dial *22899 and then reboot .......as I said someone else posted this somewhere so I personally cannot confirm this as a fix....

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

i havnt tried the gps on my phone yet. will when i can.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

great work ga. i wish someone had done this in december the first time i flashed. it was a real PIA tracking down all the info over a weekend or two.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

I have Verizon. I tried *22899 and it doesn't seem to work

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

ok i reflashed...used the same ROM. and now gps locks on to 4 or 5 satellites. not sure what was going wrong but nothing a reflash couldn't fix

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

haha same here. and i also changed the page pool so my rom is flyin. i set it to six. i wanna try eight but dont wanna go through the flash process again. lol.

Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!
 

Lots of times toggling the location off and back on will kick GPS in the butt too. Settings/Personal/Phone- Services tab
