edit: as a result of a few people possibly bricking their devices, i have removed the standalone radio update.
at this time the best method of obtaining radio 3.35.04 is to flash the entire sprint 3.35 rom update.
Whoa. What are changes?
will this work on a Verizon one? or is it just Sprint?
DCD,
Getting an error on installation. RUU hangs at 9% then gives me Error[328] INvalid command, The update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility. I am running Olipro-2.40. Vz user. No issues in the past with upgrading rom or radio. Have been running leaked radio and both yours and No2Chem's roms.
Thoughts
okay so im seeing all kinds of misc threads around about this radio but everything is specific to Sprint...
no one can verify if this works with Verizon?
Anyone even know what the difference in the radio is from 3.27?
please excuse my ignorance, but I just want to make sure that if I'm already running one of your roms (2.3.1) that all I need to do is flash this radio. Is that right, or do I need to reflash the rom as well?
I am also getting the error at 9%. I have tried flashing about 5 times all with the same result.
Downloading the RADIO now... I've got DCD's 2.3.2 (modified a bit) ROM... will report once I get the Radio installed.... I am very excited.
weird, i had dcd 1.7.1 / radio 1.59.10a / spl-1.20-olipro
flash went fine
if you guys keep getting errors ill investigate further

So you're just doing the radio and not the main ROM, correct? And are you just launching the updater or manually putting the phone into bootloader mode first?
I have your 2.3.2 release, 3.16 radio, and SPL-2.40.0lipro and I am getting the error. I will try a few more times. I did notice that the led flashes red right after it fails and reboots.
I am doing just the radio, and I have tried it both ways with the phone in bootloader and without.
Yep. Also getting the error here... I'm using DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
Still no luck either, running No2Chem 5049, 3.16 radio and 2.40. Extracted your radio and it is no different on 3 different RUU's, the same for the radio straight from the Sprint release.

Me three, on my VZW 6800 with latest DCD and test Radio ROM.
Is the first post saying that I can use the New rom (released today) with olipro 2.40?
Yes I am getting the error at 9% also. Bummer.

I flashed from 1.7.0 / radio 1.40 / spl-1.20
did spl 2.40 -> radio -> dcd 2.3.2 rom
no problems... except data is throwing invalid username again.. which is typical after a radio change.. just need to call verizon again
Same on 9%
I am also getting the error at 9%
VZW user with Olipro 2.40 and DCD 2.3.2 ROM
Edit: I have tried from both bootloader and with phone completely booted up.

No. That's already discussed in the thread on the new ROM (and in the ppcgeeks.com thread on the same topic). Here, we're talking about success (or lack thereof) in flashing just the extracted radio so that it can be used with custom ROMs and/or with non-Sprint phones.

Thanks dcd, but getting same error at 9%...running NexVisions Hybrid, 2.40 etc.
Okay, I've looked around the forums and tried a number of things. I started out wondering if I should install the new update. Got to looking around and decided to just install a custom rom. Was a little weary because of my experience with the xv6700. Anyway. Ran SPL Unlocker to install 2.40 Oilpro. Installed the Radio 3.27.00 and dcd 2.1.0....did a *228 and then my phone would not pick up service. Tried a few things but since I was in a hurry just ran the vzw update and it fixed it. Later I come back and decided to try an do this right. So I run the RadioRefurbish. It worked and rolled me back to 1.35_002. Still no GPS. I've tried everything including this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
Still no change. I do not get a fix. I mean GPS Viewer can see the GPS but I never get anything from it. I have a bluetooth GPS and can get a fix inside on a cold start in 5 min max. I left this thing for hours. Indoor, in the car, etc... nothing. I'm at a loss. I am currently running SPL 2.40 Oilpro. Radio 3.42.02 and dcd 3.2.3. With PRI 1.35_002. I had read of success with the new vzw PRI and NueSpl 2.47. Tried to install 2.47. Gives me checks on all of the prequisites and then when I continue it goes into the bootloader and displays spl 2.07 I have to then soft reset and if I go back to the bootloader it's still 2.40. I am at a loss and would really like to get this working. Any suggestion from any of you oober smart people out there would be great or just someone that might know what else to try.
P.S. Thought about trying to flash back to the original rom but had read where that can easily brick my phone. So that's about the only thing I haven't tried.
oober? lol...
First, what guide were you using that had you using such an outdated bootloader, radio, and rom?!
Secondly, am I to understand that you ran the new MR1, WinMo 6.1 from Verizon, with the new PRI? If so, I would try GC14's fix, he has a thread on it, to roll you back to the old PRI.
Thirdly, definetly use NueSPL 2.47 for flashing. Grab the newest radio, 3.42.50. Flash that. Grab the newest dcd, 3.2.6, flash that. Then install the Verizon Carrier Cab. Then do a *228 option 1. Call verizon *611 if need be, to re authenticate the phone if you can't make calls or use data.
Fourthly, go into the Phone control panel, and Get Settings on the Location option. Make sure location is enabled.
Fifth, do the new aGPS fix that was posted by gc14.
Lastly, get a program like Google Maps that is known to be highly compatible with GPS. Set it's GPS options to COM4, 4800 baud. And enable Use GPS. After initializing GPS for about 15 seconds, you should see a very fast lock of about 5-20 seconds or so with the new aGPS fix.

Is that even a GPS enabled rom?
Why are you using such an old rom?
PRI rollback really required?
Is the PRI roll back really required? I went from the MR1 update to DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.40 and got GPS working without rolling back the PRI. My process was;
1. Titan GPS Fix (almost the same as AGPS fix wiki)
2. PRI from hell (only did first step, flashing back to stock)
3. Fix from PPCGeeks (My GPS did not work at all till I did this)
4. Verizon xv6800 aGPS Fix
As far as the PPCGeeks fix goes, I'm now using the PDE IP & port# in the SUPL_AGPS keys in the registry, long with GPSMODE=4. Everything seems to be working great. Maybe I'm just a fluke.
The stock rom I flashed back to when I started the PRI from hell fix was VzW_titan_20273_a2.rar (I think this is the right one, only one I found on my laptop that seems big enough). Now that I think about it I did do the second step on the PRI from hell, I changed my bootloader to 2.40, and reloaded DCD 3.2.6.
i believe that guide would be from PhoneNews as its still one of the top results for "GPS on HTC Titan." Of course no one reads that there is an updated guide, but even that isn't that recent (around release time of 3.35). plus, they give ZERO credit to DCD or anyone on any forums, and took if upon themselves to host all the downloads, and not link to the forums where these originated.
3.42.50 has issues with gps on some phone for some reason. flash with the sprint radio and it will work with out issue.

Well, not saying it's a better fix, just the one that got mine working. But thanks to the xda-dev forums it went from a searchlight to a laser beam.
I've got a solution for GPS on the MR1 release for the xv6800. I should hopefully have a full release soon, but there is hope if you're stuck and unable to get anything except (possibly) VZ Navigator working due to the firmware being placed into locked down GPS mode.

I was able to roll back to PRI 1.35_002 using Radiorefurbish. I would love to install nuespl 2.47, but how. I downloaded it, ran it. It formated my card and ran. Reboots into the bootloader with a spl of 2.07 and just stays there. When I soft reset, reboots as normal. If I enter the Bootloader after that it's still 2.40. I've tried it from a few different Roms thinking that maybe there was an issue. BTW, How bad (dangerous) is it to flash back to original stock. It's about the only thing I haven't tried. I had read that going back to a non GPS rom is a bad idea.

The reason you are stuck in 2.07 could be because of your sd card. try a different card. SanDisk works really well with them.

I had the same problem trying to use nuespl 2.47. I just kept getting stuck at that screen. soft resetting and trying again. I gave up for a few hours... and came back to it and with absolutely no rhyme or reason, it just decided to work one time... I was also using the SD card method with a 2gig micro. I hope it just decides to work for you.

Do you need to use a relocker before flashing the stock rom? Edit: NVM this
Also, can you share VzW_titan_20273_a2.rar somehow? Any search for it only brings me back to this thread :\... Thanks
Just use the gc14 guide to roll back to the old PRI as stated and be done with it...
3.42.50 radio works fine with GPS, doubly fine with the aGPS hack.

I should have room to upload it on my comcast account. I'll PM you a link when it's done. Standard warning that flashing back to stock has bricked phones (from what I've read). Didn't happen to me, just saying.
Flashing back to MR1 should work. From what I have been told, the problem occurs if you flash to a pre-GPS version after having upgraded to a GPS-enabled version.

ah yes... MR1 would be no problem, but I believe pri from hell fix first step is referring to the pre-MR1 stock (if I'm not mistaken). so I see where animez is coming with the warning. At that step, all you can do is hope for the best I suppose...
Ive flashed back to the ut of the box" stock rom form the SD card several times with no issues at all.
now as far the radio i don go below 3.xx
I still cant get my GPS to work after i updated my PRI, even before i updated it was very hit or miss, I would get 10 sec locks or none at all for days
Has anyone here SUCCESSFULLY downgraded the PRL on their XV6800 when using NueSPL 2.47 ?
I remember in the past people, including no2chem himself saying that downgrading SPL is a huge risk and may brick your device, so I thought I'd ask around.
I've been unable to remove the PRI from my device after doing the MR1 update.
Using tools like HTC GPS Tool, I see output from the GPS, but it never sees any satellite.
I did the Verizon AGPS fix that GC14 posted and I had some thoughts on the issue.
I was wondering if it is making it worse to have done the AGPS fix because of not having a data plan (I use Wi-Fi only).
Current Setup:
OS ROM: DCD 3.2.6 (Kitchen'd)
RADIO: 3.42.40
PRL: 2.03_002
SPL: NueSPL 2.47
Any ideas, input, comments, suggestions, etc?

Downgrading SPL? You can do that without any problem. PRL? That's a different story. But yes. You can do that as well. The setup you have, I have successfully got GPS working. Have you followed the thread on this?

I've been following a few threads in here on the issue.
Which one(s) are you specifically talking about?
None of them have truly helped me yet. I can't get GPS locks using the official verizon radio (3.37.71 or whatever) nor 3.42.40 with the new PRI, but I had it working with the same setup on the OLD PRI using Olipro 2.40.
If you have already updated to MR1 and locked down the GPS hardware on your device, you could try this out instead of trying to unlock the GPS hardware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
Currently, this needs you to be on MR1 to work. Including the MR1 GPS driver may allow it to work on a custom ROM if you want to try building your own, though that has yet to be tested.

still not what I'm looking for.
I'm going to try unlocking my device and flashing the stock ROM, letting customizations run, then unlocking + then flashing the new VZW update and not running customizations, then going to DCD 3.2.6 again
sorry for the double-post, but I decided to do what I said in the last post.
I downgraded my SPL just fine using the Titan Relocker (not the one that puts you at 2.07 SPL, the one that puts you at 1.xx) then flashed on Stock VZW, then Olipro 2.40, then my kitchened DCD 3.2.6 ROM.
No bricked device.
I did notice my phone went into ROAMING when I flashed on the Stock ROM, but I didn't bother trying to call out, I was a man on a mission, and just kept going.
I did *228 option #1 when I got into 3.2.6 again, didn't need a new A-Key or anything.
GPS is STILL not working, as the PRI version stuck somehow.
*sigh* Problem not resolved... and I wasn't having any luck with doing the RadioRefurbish method either.
Any ideas?
Hello guys, I have a little bit of a problem, and I am hoping that you guys can help me out. About 10 months ago I upgraded from my stock ROM to dcd's 2.3.2. rom and 3.27.00 radio. Every thing went fine, loaded up 2.40 olipro and the installation went perfect. Now last month I saw that dcd came out with 3.2.6 and wanted to upgrade my rom and radio, but this is were i'm running into problems. I was able to flash the 3.2.6. rom, but I am unable to flash the radio. I have searched up and down these forums and checked out the wiki's and havn't been able to find a solution. So now all i'm left with is a phone that can't make a phone call but is still able to send sms messages. If anyone has any helpful tips or even a solution to my problem it would be much appricated.
I thought the 3.27 radio works with 3.2.6. What is happening when you try to flash the radio? and what method are you using to flash it (SD card or pc)? Also when you bootup the phone does it say 3.27 radio still? I believe all the newer DCD roms need a carrier cab have you installed the cab? I'm pretty sure the phone won't be able to make calls without the cab installed. 1 more Q what service do you have?

When I flash the radio it goes to 8% flashes a red light and then resets. I have also tried both methods of flashing but none works. When I bootup the phone it does still say 3.27 as the radio. I have also tried to install a carrier cab but have had no luck.
Try updating to Hard SPL 2.47
The 3.27 Radio is NOT compatible with ANY DCD version 3.X and higher..... Have you read the Wiki? Can you flash the radio using the SD card method? All of your questions have answers in the Wiki.....
You should flash back to 2.3.2. Go into the bootloader(tri-color screen) and then flash 2.3.2 to the phone..... reboot it.... it should load up ok.... If this works for you to this point, you have several options to upgrade the radio ..... Read the Wiki....

Anyone encountered this error before? It gets to 8% and then phone reboots and I get this on my PC screen. It says Error [328] (see attached image)
I am using Radio 3.37.75 (verizon), and my bootloader shows 2.40 Olipro
Any ideas?
Try this RUU it is version 3.16.4.3.
Yes, thats the version that I am using. I think... when I run it, it says 3.16.4.3 in the window title bar. (see screen shot)
EDIT: I tried it anyways, and I got the same thing. Do I have the right bootloader? Would a different one help?
what are you trying to flash
trying to flash my verizon xv6800 (which has an old dcd rom on it, radio 3.27 i think) to the new radio: 3.37.75.
Then i will flash with a newer dcd or ryan mogul rom.

Just follow my post here and only use the files and Radios that I provide. Make sure you read a few times so you understand, and dont skip anything. Most important based on what I have read in this thread. Use only the radios I provide on my share site and take your time paying close attention.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3687027&postcount=144
Thanks, I'll do it exactly like that. I will keep you posted. I have to get a new micro SD card, I only have an SDHC 8 GB
The radio can be updated via usb. I do it all the time. But it does hard reset the phone in the process.
I would try a newer radio like 3.42.40. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRadioROMs
I got my radio from there and have no problems updating the radio with ruu.
I followed the directions exactly like in Ryan's post mentioned above, (used USB instead of SD card), and it works!
Fully functional. I used Radio 3.42.02 (somewhere I saw that it was recommended over the others, went with it to be safe). Then Flashed Ryan Mogul Rom 2.2 Heavy.
Thanks everyone!

i have spl olipro-2.40, rom dcd 3.2.6 and want to upgrade radio to 3.42.50 using usb. should i downgrade spl to 1.20 before upgrade the radio? or i stick with current config and update the radio using RUU?
Still cant load radio
Obtained 6800 originally Alltel, not sure which radio, Had Olipro 2.40 installed, would hang on Alltel splash screen.
Could not get any RUU loads to complete (from USB or SD card), usually would fail around 50%.
Eventually was able to get RyanMogul 3.1 Cricket (lite) to load, but shows no radio and eventually screen goes blank. Never goes into active Sync mode.
We force boot loader mode and try and load several radios including Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.50.Alltel.rar, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.35.04,
but keep Getting error 328 from RUU when I try to load a radio..
tried RyanMoguls "Here is a fix for GPS for all you VX6800 users that gps will not function!!", but cant run relocker because no active sync connection.
Stock Verizon ROM RUU also gets error 328.
Any ideas.
