I have my Sprint Mogul, and Sprint service, and i am currently running the 2.16 ROM. I am deciding whether or not to upgrade to a custom ROM (if so which one) or to just do the update to the new stock ROM 2.17, or even to just wait for the new ROM with GPS and EVDO REV.A. So if someone could please help me in deciding cause I really don't know which one has more benefits. I want it to be able to run fast, with good RAM, but also to run well with my Sprint service, cause ive been looking at the custom roms and i see that some of them don't work to well with sprint. So to sum it all up, which is better, a custom Rom for my Sprint Mogul, with sprint service, or the stock 2.17 Rom, which I know will work with my sprint service well because it was made for it. Thanks
A custom rom if a good one like dcd's newest rom then it will be fine since it is based off of the sprint rom anyway and will just allow you to choose what you want to install but it is all up to your preference. If you don't like it you can always flash back can't hurt to try right i personally would never use stock rom again since dcd's actually works with sprint better ex no glitches

x2. The new DCD 1.6.7 is the best ROM I've run yet. You'll be pleased.
Does it fix the memory leak problem that is with the stocks? and does everything like MMS and Internet, and all the other sprint service based stuff work? and lastly about how much faster is it and how much free ram do you have? Thanks for all the help.
Memory leak is still present from my experience.
So how is it running better than the stock ROM (newest 2.17)? Is it alot faster? since for me, the only problem with my phone is the memory leak, other than that, it barley ever freezes or locks up, and i only soft reset it about once a week, just to get my memory back (although the device would be running fine without soft reseting, I just like doing it). I just want to know, if it would be worth it for me to have to reinstall all my programs and settings, for a ROM that is not that different. Thanks
also on stock rom right now. kinda scared to do the do the custom rom but I will this friday. I will let u know if the 5 meg page pool speeds it up nutz on chin style. my biggest issue right now is when I click to write a text message. the text message compose screen takes forever to load. a good 5 to 10 seconds. and when I press the msg button at top of phone. that also takes forever and I bout done with it
Definitely get off of 2.16, it was horrible. My phone has been a LOT more stable on 2.17.
And, the "memory leak" isn't really a memory leak, it's a feature. I've seen this repeated over and over again. It's caching to make the system feel faster. It only becomes a problem if you actually run out of memory.
Either these roms are very easy to update or I'm missing something.
I read through the Kitchen thread and the Rom thread for dcd. Very interesting thread although i could not find any form of instructions. I searched instructions and it provided a link to the unlocker.
So I'm guess you run the hard spl unlocker and then the dcd rom update and its that easy?

yes
eventually i will get instructions up..sorry
Well I have tried a few custom roms, made a few with the kitchen, and of coarse used the stock rom. I now find myself falling back on the stock rom because I feel it is the most stable for my use. I would recommend using a backup such as spb or something. That way if you ever jack up your mogul you can just do a hard reset and then restore it to how it was from the last backup. I really like what people have done with the custom roms, but I have just had a few minor issues that I do not have with the stock rom. Chad
By stock ROM, I am assuming you are using 2.17 right?
Got the radio upgrade 3.3x and all works well with 2.x dcd rom, but upgrading to 3.0.1 has problems with phone calls. Both receiving or outgoing, the device resets 10 sec into the call. Also Voice Command 1.6 not working. sucks.
verizon xv6800
I'd be willing to bet millions you didn't follow directions when flashing.
Nope. Cooked a kitchen, tried the Verizon Rom....neither work with 3.0.1. works great with 2.x though.
Voice Command 1.6 now working OK as well under 2.3.2. I is happy. Still looking for good GPS software. I really liked Earthcomber, but doesn't work with this rom.
If you tried to flash the radio standalone, then the verizon cooked rom...you didn't follow directions.
The ONLY way to successfully upgrade to 3.0.x is by flashing the sprint update to upgrade the radio.
OK so I cry for help. Why the heck would I apply a Sprint update to a Verizon handset, granted both CDMA. I upgraded the radio at the same time as 2.2. The 2.2 DCD rom I'm using that WORKS WELL should be no different than the upgrade to 3.0.1. Unless I'm forgetting to stop customization with a soft reset.
You're not getting the point!!!
The only reason to flash sprint's official rom is so you can update the radio to its latest version. After this is done, it DOESN'T MATTER whatever rom you flash next, such as a Verizon rom. Use DCD's 3.0.1 rom it should be working. You would have known this if you read instructions. If you flashed the radio alone first, then your settings (ESN, MSID, etc) will be wiped. You will have to re-enter these either manually or call up Verizon to do it for you. This is probably why you can't make calls.
Exactly my point. I flashed the radio with the Oli 2.4 and updated the radio from stock verizon. Then flashed 2.3.2 and all is good with the new radio. So why doesn't it work with 3.0.1? I just found my way to the In and Out Burger via Odyssey Mobile locator.
Everyone keeps telling me that i didn't follow the destructions but they don't point to where they are.
Maybe wrong radio ver?
Crap. Mine says 3.24.00. I guess that's my problem. I'm an idiot.
Please point me to the proper radio D/L.
Thanks,
Sorry for asking what is probably a simple question, but I am having the same problems. I have SPL-2.40.Olipro atm, installed the verizon ROM upgrading to 3.0.1 from NexVision's Hybrid rom. My radio is upgraded to 3.25 or whatever it was supposed to do fine. On vibrate mode, when a phone call is incoming, I get stuck in an ever ending vibrating. I can text, and attempt to cal lsomeone but nothing can be heard and no one can hear me. I know i screwed up somehow- but what exact steps do I do to remedy this?
Thank you in advance
We have to do the Sprint radio update to 3.35 first, which is an upgrade from 3.27. Then go to ROM 3.0.1.
It's always interesting to me how people jump up to say "you're doing it wrong" but don't tell you how to do it right.
Here's how to do it right.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
Gecko122, There is more to the Sprint file than just the radio... It includes the ROM as well.... My understanding is this:
1st - Run Olipro unlocker 2.4
2nd - Run Sprint Official upgrade , NO CUSTOMIZATIONS.
3rd - Load Custom ROM.....
That has worked for me.....
PS - the DCD 2.x.x series do NOT play well with the new radio, hence the 3.0.1 kitchen.... Driver differences....
do i have to flash back to a former version of dcd or anything? or can i start from a messed up 3.0.1?
hi Penn,
Well, exactly what have you done to your phone?
Bootloader version?
ROM version?
Radio Ver?
Then we can start from there and develope a plan to help ya.
Ignore that above - I re-read you original post....
Here's what you can do and correct me if I'm wrong Penn...
You have Oli-pro 2.4 bootloader loaded
You have DCD 3.0.1 ROM loaded
You have the 3.27 Radio loaded?
If the above is true, then we have options..... Let me know

No, I flashed new radio stand alone package by dcd first day from an olipro 1.20 then 3.0.0 rom then 2.40 bootloader, and then one day later 3.0.1 rom... I never use sprint upgrade at all, and I have no problem about my phone at all. There is not just one way

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you the one with the extremely long, complicated post about how you were able to get everything working that way?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2014972&postcount=326
Secondly, you may have been able to get everything working, but you're lucky. The chance of problems occurring by flashing this way is way too high in my opinion to even bother, not to mention others have had problems that absolutely cannot be fixed without reflashing back to stock and updating with the sprint update. That is why dcd removed the standalone radio from the Radio Rom thread.
Gecko, the reason why I did not "tell" you how to do it the right way is because dcd's thread has 94 pages of information on how to do it the right way. I've even posted several times on different pages in that thread with explicit instructions on how to. While I am always very eager to welcome newcomers to this community, I also strongly encourage them to read, research and educate themselves before touching their device. It doesn't mean I'm not a nice guy and don't like to help, because if you search my posts you will see that I help a lot around here. If you had simply taken 20 minutes and even skimmed dcd's thread, you would have found the answer yourself in no time.

Wow... I'm sorry, I had not been keeping up with the issues of others, so until you said that just now, I had no idea. You are right, I am really lucky, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
No problem
When im in a call and the screen shuts off due to inactivity i cant get the screen back on without doing a soft reset..im using 2.5.2 rom does anyone know how to fix this
thx in advance
All I can say is wow....
^^^^ lol G - You continue to amaze me bro....
Wipe the dust off your phones rom and update to 3.0.4 and new radio...or atleast a newer stock rom
I tried useing the 3.04 rom it screwed up my phone it had no sound when dialing and it wouldnt update thru *228...and i did not want to put radio 3.35 in with all the problems i was seeing on here
IF you put 3.0.4 and didnt put 3.35 radio on then thats why you were having those problems. You have to flash radio of at least 3.35 and THEN flash 3.0.4 rom. ROM wont work properly if you have an old radio installed.
OK i can understad that but the 3.35 was removed because people where unable to flash after upgrading it to 3.35...so how do i go to 3.04 rom?

I think you are a little confused. You arent getting the right facts and believing the wrong ones. Everybody I have heard of who has problems with flashing new rom is usually a "first time flasher" and do it wrong instead of doing it the correct way. follow this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TITAN_GettingStarted and understand what you are doing
1st- update to 2.4 olipro (NEW BOOTLOADER"unlocker")
2nd- update sprint 3.35 rom (stop at the "tap the screen" customization screen) this gives you the radio
3rd- from customization screen start the 3.0.4 rom and flash that rom
Your phone will restart after loading and will boot into wm6.1
ok i will try that. as soon as i can find the 3.35 rom every link i go to ends up being dead

GO to htc.com and chose sprint and it should have it there.
I'm just curious, but after flashing the newest sprint rom and radio, I noticed that everytime I do a soft reset, I automatically get the roam triangle. This stays on for about 10 minutes till it goes to EVDO, or 10X. I am currently using the newest DCD 3.2.0 Rom, for Sprint, and there is no difference. Does anyone know how to prevent this from going into Roam mode when you do a soft reset?
Hopefully this hasn't been answered, and I missed it. If it has, I appologize. Thanks in advance.

Do you know what version of the PRL you're using? It shows up as "PRL version" under Start->Settings->System->Device Information. Someone along the line you might have ended up with an outdated one. 60613 is the latest for Sprint EVDO-capable phones.

I can confirm that with 3.2.0 (yes...I've finally moved on from my own kitchen based from Sprint's 3.35.xxx.... ) a soft-reset consistently reverts back to Standard for the Phonerefered Serving System. Over a soft-reset it should retain the choice of Home Only.
In the registry under HKLM\Software\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting what can I set to retain Home Only but retain the option to switch back to Standard when travelling?
This is an issue for me since I live by the water and the US is just across a straight leaving my phone often switching between my local and a US carrier.

we probably need the previous version initprov.dll. i will look tonight. thanks for finding this
You're welcome, DCD.. Thank you!
This afternoon I may also have a chance to build a new ROM with a familiar initprov.dll and see if that resolves it.
With 3.2.0 on my Titan I just replaced the initprov.dll (v1.25.0.0) with the v1.21.0.0 (from the March Sprint release and what I was first using in my kitchen), rebooted, but still faced the problem of the phone defaulting back to Standard rather than retain Home Only.
That was without rebuilding a ROM with the older initprov version in.
...to note, the April Alltel ROM was also using this latest v1.25.0.0.

Certain dll's are self registering and some aren't. It's probably going to take a little more than just a copy/paste.

Worth a shot.. Can't rebuild until I get home......
I realize now that it is related to the radio rom. Originally I installed the NEW factory firmware/rom upgrade. Well that was when it started. So thinking it was a factory rom issue, I installed DCD 3.2.0. Still doing it. So I decided to downgrade back to 3.1.6 which was what I WAS using before the upgrade.. Still doing it. So.. .It has to be the newest radio rom. I am going to downgrade the radio back to what I had and see if that fixes it.

That's not necessarily true. It could have been something that was installed during the 3.56 factory customizations. Try flashing Sprint 3.35 stock rom/radio, let the customizations run. Then flash 3.2.0 and 3.42.02 or 3.42.30. If you're going to use the 3.56 stock rom/radio to flash 3.42.02, that's ok, just DON'T let the customizations run this time.
that was the issue with mine I ran the sighned sprint cab from the extended rom from the 3.56 "official" rom that was part of no2chems pre 2.2 after i did that my phone was stuck in roaming... Thinking it was the radio i downgraded 1 step @ a time from the 3.42.03 back to 3.39 still roaming went back to the stock radio that came with the 3.35 release still roaming when phone was booted. Figured it might be rom related @ that point so i reflashed to good ole 5069k left battery out after flash for 2 min... first boot it was roaming and would not lock onto a tower in sprint only mode... my muerom boot agent always runs the sprint carrier settings 4 me and on my second boot still no sprint signal only digital roam.. In a last ditch effort I reflashed via activesync the whole 3.35 stock rom/radio ... and wala all was fixed booted right up and even b4 the sprint custimization was started i had the evdo icon and no roaming triangle. Leaving the 3.35 stock rom on there i went forward 1 step @ a time radio wise and even with 3.39 and 3.42.02 i still got sprint coverage and evdo icon and connection. so i re-flashed to the nue 2.2 preview let it do tis sprint thing on first boot. then i did not go in and eun anything from the extended rom. No more roaming triangle. Something in the 3.56 exended rom i ran (sprint sighned whatever) Changed something in epst that dod not get reset even with flashes and hard resets till i relfashed back to stock 3.35 relaease full with radio from activesync.
So my suggestion would be that u can run the newer radio and roms just be sure to let your carrier settings run but don't touch files in the extended rom esp the file mentioned bc it stuck me in roaming and it would not get a sprint signal (home) for anything even after just letting it sit. and when setting roaming option to sprint only I would not get any bars @ all just the animated dots nest to the signal icon.
So it can't be anything in the new rom or settings in the new rom that is doing it nor the radio bc when downgrading back to stock radio from march update it did the same thing.
To fix your going to need to do a fill rom/radio flash then just pick your fav flavors after its flashed and has booted up the second time.
Boy, am I glad y'all started a thread on this. I've been trying to figure out what was wrong since this came out. My first flash of the new rom caused mine to be stuck in roaming, and sometimes it won't even come out.
I'll try what you guys suggested.
Customizations = Extended Rom
That's exactly what I said.
Ok, things a little different now. I reflashed back to the stock 3.35 Rom and let customizations run.
Then flashed just the new radio 3.42.30 from SD card
Last I flashed just the dcd 3.2.0 ROM and the carrier cab, and now no more roaming after the soft reset.
So, maybe the problem is in that radio included with the new 3.56 ROM
As long as I got it working, I'm happy

Again, it's not the radio. It's in the customizations from 3.56.

If all we had to do was not let the customizations run, why didn't someone just say that? I've been asking about this for like 3 days now.
When I tried flashing the 3.56 rom without the Customizations it still would roam, so go figure

That's because you've already let them run. They don't go away after a reflash, the same way Verizon users who let them run can't just reflash their rom to make it go away. You need to flash sprint 3.35, let THOSE customizations run. Then reflash 3.2.0.
Before you do anything though, you DO have Sprint right?
Hello everyone! I have searched a lot and after about 6 flashes back to stock and retrying I can't seem to get this to work.. Please I have searched a lot and I am just frustrated now. Here is what I am doing. I unlocked with 2.40 spl, then run sprint rom. Now I don't let it customize. 3.2 rom. then telus cab. I run auto programming on phone *22803 , 1, 1 and show successful. Phone work but no data connection. called telus and re did login for data network phone#@1x.telusmobility.com and esn number. still no data. Can someone who has the latest rom working on their mogul please give me exact instructions or lend me a hand. PLEASE PLEASE. Oh if I relocka and run telus stock rom it all works fine. That is where I am now
Cheers all!!
hey man sorry my details are kinda crappy been awhile since i did it from a stock ROM but i had the same issues...maybe do a search for my posts here and look at them they might be more helpful then my memory....
anyways get your phone locked again and back to stock telus just U NEED to do this so you know you are starting fresh...then unlock and flash with the sprint ROM to get the GPS radio u are after....then re flash with the ROM of your choice if i remember correctly there is a step in 2.40-olipro that you are not doing right where it says disconnect or reconnect or something.....but every time you do it wrong go back to stock everything.......you'll get it man trust me look at my old posts i think i said what i did wrong...and follow the instructions perfectly there is one that is easy to miss if i remember correctly

Hey Thanks so much. It is my epst settings. When I did the sprint upload I let customization go so. going back to stock worked buy everythime I went to dcd titan upgrade something kept changing even if I did not let the sprint customization run. Well I wrote down all my setting and re flashed 7th time to 3.27 and 3.16 and changed the epst settings. It is working now to flash to 3.42.20 will hope it stays this time

Among other possible problems, you definitely applied the wrong radio. v3.27 of the CDMA radio from February was only intended for builds off of a very early and leaked pre-release Sprint testing ROM.
Where did you get informatino to flash to that radio version?
