i have had many problems since i upgraded my phone. sometimes if i do a soft reset, my phone gets stuck in the rainbow screen and sometimes takes a while to get back to normal. i want to just update my phone back to normal since i actually want to send it into sprint. Can someone please let me know what i need to do in order to do this, thanks
either go to htc website or sprint website and down load latest released rom and install. It should be a complete install back to original radio and rom.
Does anyone know how to return my verizon xv6800 back to factory, I unlocked/flashed to get gps to work and it updated to windows 6.1 which i dont like and I want it back to factory. Verizon cant do anything and neither can htc. has anyone done this?

is this verizon rom or something someone made?

Yes, relocker then the ROM and Radio are actually both included in the same file this time.
So run the relocker, unpack the ROM file and place the .nbh file in the RUU folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
ok not so good luck so far, have ran the reLocker and went to your links to d/l and there is no program to run them, Im relativerly new to this and need help quick what is my next step????

ok so you are saying i dont have to flash the factory radio one??
This ROM file is the full thing that includes the radio as well, so no need for a separate radio flash.
So, just to recap here for anyone still curious...
Once you run the Relocker (which will restore your bootloader to factory - also disallowing any new custom roms) then you're ready to run the Rom Update Utility (RUU) from the ROM you downloaded from Verizon or HTC's website.
the ROM update will flash both your radio as well as your ROM. good luck!
Annoyed with all of my issues....can't get data to work w/o prompting for a login every few minutes.
Flashing back...getting everything up and working, then starting all over.
Let us know what happens

I am curious because I have all of the files and know what to do, but so far I have not had any of the problems that everyone else has had so have not needed to try it yet, so let us know that all is well just for comfort. Thanks.
In fact, all is well.
I flashed back to the stock VZW ROM (third time I think), I made sure all of my provisioning issues with Verizon were worked out (finally had the tech "kick the switch").
1) Then I proceeded to load the 2.4 bootloader,
2) then the 3.16 Unauthorized Sprint ROM w/ radio,
3) then finally installed a cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
Things to note:
1) I never let the Sprint ROM boot up
2) I had no signal so ran *22802 then hit End as soon as it connected
3) Still no signal after reboot
4) No A key, MSID, or MDN issues, but I did re-enter the MSID and MDN as discussed in other threads
5) After re-entering MSID and MDN then after reboot I had signal
6) never had to run *228 to OTA program (in the past programming with *228 has reversed the effect of re-entering the MSID and MDN)
In general, I feel that the OTA from VZW sends down some programming that conflicts with the 3.27 radio...but I have nothing to prove that.
GPS is running great (I just loaded the AstroGPSLauncher)
Not sure about Rev A. It does seem snappy. What's a good site to test from the phone?
I'm happy and not re-flashing until a solid radio for Verizon arrives.
just to let everyone know i ran the factory rom and it worked perfectly, phone is back to normal, thanks !!l
This ROM file is the full thing that includes the radio as well, so no need for a separate radio flash.

This is a bit off-topic so apologies...
But I am left wondering that if you can include the Radio into the rom,
Has DCD or No2Chem tried to integrate the radio flash into the rom and see if some of the issues with the radio goes away?
I doubt separate install could be a cause of anything but it might be worth looking into.

What happened when you tried to flash back to the original bootloader (relocker)?
Wait.. so if I have Olipro 2.4 and want to go back to 2.xx based roms I can run Olipro 1.2 to downgrade? OR: Do i first need to relock, then patch with 1.2, then reflash to 2.xx rom?

Try running the relocker and then running the old unlocker (the 1.xx, not the 2.40) available in the thread pointed to in Geckotech's first post in this thread; it should work without the need to reflash the ROM. If you get stuck in the bootloader, run the exit-bl.exe.
Yesterday I got frustrated as well. I ran the re-locker and called VZW and worked out every issue until my phone worked perfectly.
THEN I flashed to the 2.4 bootloader, flashed the unauth'ed Sprint 3.16 Sprint ROM (and since I have Verizon I made sure it did not let it boot up and run the customizations), then I loaded my cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
All is well and working great now. YEAH!!

The unlocker that Geckotek's post pointed to is in a zip file. You need to use an unzipper to extract the .exe file, then you can run it.
If you do not have an unzipper, look for pkZip, Winzip, IZArc, or 7-Zip. There are others, but these names came to mind.
edit: When you originally installed your first custom ROM, how did you unlock the phone? That unlocker, if it is still on your computer, should work again after you relock.

I tried it,it worked,thank you.
that link to the prior forum topic only lets me have 1.10 from the download. or is 1.2 buried a little further in? Thanks!
whoa, you got your power button to start working again? How did you do that exactly? Was it just the .Net 3.5 update? I find it so annoying that my power button doesn't work. I have to have S2U2 come up when i hit the power button just so the phone will wake up when i hit it again.
I read all the posts on upgrading the titan, and I think I might have been confused with posts for the mogul and the vx6800. I loaded the 3.35.04Radio Rom from the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376012, I let the entire installation go through, it actually setup sprint settings on the phone, then I loaded DCD 3.0.4.
Now everything says sprint I can make and recieve calls, but I can't get online. If I access anything online it says it can't Dail #777. I tried IOTA and that just errors out, I think thats for sprint too. I tried to flash the old radio back 3.27.00 but it only goes to 9% and spits out an error. I figured I could flash the stock back on, and then go back to DCD but I can't seem to flash backwards.
I'm not sure how to proceed from here? I felt confident, because I have used kitchens for my kaiser, and lots of different roms on my kaiser, but the TITAN is kicking my a$$. Any Ideas? I could really use some help.
you werent supposed to run customization on the sprint rom... I believe you have to flash to orginal rom then start over again. When you flash the spring 3.35 radio stop when you get to the (tap the screen) page when you first boot... then flash to dcd rom.
I just remember reading that flashing to orginal rom is easiest way to reset your phone settings to what they are supposed to be, When you ran the sprint customizations you changed phone settings you werent supposed to. You may want to search the forum a little to find another easier way to fix

AZCLOWN, that sounds like a plan!!! I like it. I'm downloading the the revert ROM now. Wish me luck. I'll fill you guys in later.
Got it.... Kinda
i folowed all the posts and got the original verizon rom installed then re did the radio skipping customization, reloaded dcds latest rom. booted up great! BUT there always a but... i cant get data, i get a PPP authenticATion error. its looking for a password. i read a couple of posts that said i should load the VZW rom again and place the phone in airplane mode. i dont know now.
Do you have your username and password entered in the network settings? All Verizon customers who upgraded to this radio and rom have had to re-enter that info.
Not sure if you have or not so I will included this just incase.
Goto settings/connections/edit existing connections
Keep hitting next until you come to the screen for the user and pass.
User.... xxxxxxxxxx(your phone number)@vzw3g.com
Pass.... vzw
He went back to stock radio, then went back up to 3.35.04 which usually clears out all settings. He can try manually editing the settings such as MDN and MSID in EPST, or he may have to call Verizon if he needs an A-Key.
no good so far....
I tried the ID and password from lllboredlll, then I went back to stock rom, which contains the old radio still the same thing, even if I try the ID again. I'm gonna call verizon. I gotta call them when I have a spare couple of hours.
Any other ideas? I tried #228 still no good! o well
You are going to need to call vz and tell them you did a hrd reset and need a new a-key.
You didn't have to flash back the second time, get the rom you want set up, *then* call them. They won't give you a hard time as long as they think you did a hard reset.
Good luck,your almost there!

Ok, I'll admit... I'm a newb and even the wiki is somewhat confusing. I've flashed my XV6800 before using this guide:
http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/
And it's been working well with the GPS.
But I would like to try tethering and so I want to upgrade to the latest DCD but I am confused as to the Radio/Etc.
Can anyone point me to the right direction on what Radios, etc. I need.
The end result is, I want to do both GPS and Tethering and still connect to Verizon.
Thanks in advance!

If you currently have GPS running.... what Radio do you have?
If you want the latest and greatest read this "Compatibility List"
Compatibility List
More than likely... you'll just need to update using DCD's rom. No radio needed.
I have Radio 3.27.00, which is incompatible. So I will need to upgrade the radio too but I don't see 3.35.00 or better for download.

Go to the wiki page.... it has links for them... here's the wiki...
Titan Recent
Here's the 3.42.30 radio...
3.42.30
Thanks for the link to the Radio.
So can anyone help me with the order of the loading... this is what I did last time and it worked like a charm.
* Open Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe. It will extract files into C:\ttn240mfg, and then launch an unlocker. Follow the instructions on screen.
* Once it has been completed, launch the device’s software update. Follow the instructions on screen for the updater.
* Following the updater’s final instructions, power cycle the device as instructed (holding power and reset buttons simultaneously). The device will likely freeze at startup on your carrier’s logo. This is normal.
* When the device does freeze, hold power, camera, and reset buttons. This will send the device into what is known as Bootloader Mode.
* Connect the Titan back to your computer. Run the baseband radio firmware update, similar to the instructions above.
* When finished, power cycle again as instructed, holding power and reset buttons to complete the update.
But now I have the DCD ROM, the Radio and the extra Verizon Cab. What order do I do them in? The Wiki really doesn't go into the order like that.
Still looking for a little guidance here.

Thanks for the reply. One more question before I bite the bullet and give this a try. The last radio I did was an EXE file and it loaded it into my machine.
It looks like the 3.42 radio I downloaded is a nbh file. It appears from the wiki that I need ROMUpdateUtility.exe to load it. Is this correct, and if so, where can I find it. I see many references to it... but no working links. The wiki even insinuates that it should be in the ROM folder... but I looked for it in all the DCD kitchen rom folders but couldn't find it.

Actually... if you have 2.4 bootloader... you can copy that TITAIMG.nbh file onto a formatted SD card and start the bootloader. It will load it then. if you use ROMUpdateUtility.exe... I believe you have to name it RUU_signed.nbh and put it into the same folder as that exe.
Unfortunately, I don't have a non-HD card to throw it on and I heard there were problems with the SHDC cards.
Do you have a working link for the ROM Update utility? I've tried several links on xda, but none of them seem to be working.

Download DCD's Kitchen. The utility is in the RUU folder once you extract the kitchen.
When I tried to flash the ROM, it says this utility may not be used with my phone.
Weird. Any suggestions?
Great and wonderful gurus...I think I dug myself into it. I was hoping my first post here would one with better news...but alas I am calling on your help.
I own a Telus P4000 (TITA100) and was keen on trying out dcd's new ROM. I did the following in the following order and now I have some unfortunate results.
1. Upgraded bootloader to 2.40 using USB instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
2. Thought 'what the heck' and tried upgrading to bootloader 2.47 using the microSD instructions at the same address.
3. Upgraded the Radio to 3.42.50.
4. A reboot brought me to the Telus screen so I thought I had done something wrong.
5. I reverted back to Radio version 1.40
6. I reverted the bootloader to 2.07 using the instructions here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome
7. I reflashed the stock Telus ROM.
8. Results are now that I cannot make any outgoing calls or data connections
(automated voice says I need to activate my phone) and my power key does not turn the device back on once it goes into 'hibernate' mode.
I am really hoping someone can help me out. I've been searching for hours to find the original Radio (1.32) and the original bootloader (1.04) so I can put things back to the way they were but I can't find anything.
Any help is well appreciated,
Ry
PS - Update - I tried the other method of reverting back to stock (via USB) and now the bootloader is 1.04 and the Radio is 1.32. BIG Steps in the right direction....
Okay...so most of the issues seem to have been resolved and I'll call Telus to re-activate my phone tomorrow but there is one remaining question:
Did I do anything wrong here and how can I continue on my quest to give this another whirl?
(I debated not posting at all...but I figure my conundrums may help someone else later)
Extra info
For you Telus users...found the last link...programming. I completely forgot about this and thank goodness I stumbled across this link thus making me feel completely stupid but nonetheless satisfied....

Keep in mind, at least on Verizon, when upgrading your radio from a non-GPS radio to a GPS radio, the phone will require re-authentication. The A-Key will have to be given by your provider. When I called, I basically told them I had to do a hard reset. The tech on the other end said that every time I do a hard reset, I need a new A-key. NOT!(idiot)...

Actually, I've only needed a new A-Key once, and that was when I hard reset my device. However, when I got my phone, I upgraded the stuff before activating.
So yes, hard-resetting does (sometimes/always?) causes you to need a new A-Key.
And even then, I didn't call in; I did the whole online "activate another phone, then reactivate the 6800" trick to avoid dealing with terrible CS

I don't know if this A-key thing is true anymore. On my original phone I had to do an A-Key update twice. And both times was when I upgraded the Radio. After a while I stopped having to do them.
Yesterday I got a replacement 6800 (old one had bad charging port). I activated it got it working, and immediately put on SPL 2.47, radio 3.5.42 and DCD 3.2.5 (in that order)
I DID NOT have to call verizon for an A-key update.

Also take a look at some P4000 instructions I posted here.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1413430&page=1&pp=15
I have never had a problem flashing my P4000 except for when I used a Sprint ROM to get an updated radio and let the customizations run. This made it so that I could not send text messages but everything else worked fine.
Here's how I fixed it:
- used the relocker to relock the phone and restore the original bootloader
- flash with stock Telus ROM
- change to 2.40 bootloader
- flash radio (didn't use the Sprint ROM this time, used SD card method instead)
- flash DCD ROM
- run Telus carrier cab
Since then I have updated to 2.47 bootloader, updated to DCD3.2.5, went to a lower version of the radio because I was having signal issues, and then just recently went to the latest radio version. I haven't had any problems other than that one I just mentioned above.
Even when you flash with DCD's ROMs the Telus splash screen will still come up as this is not overwritten by the ROM. This will only change if you use a flasher to change it or flash with another carrier's ROM (like Sprint for example).
Without a major scew-up, you should not have had to activate your phone on Telus after unlocking and a ROM update. I've never such an issue nor anyone else I know.
1. Upgraded bootloader to 2.40 using USB instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...itanRecentHome
2. Thought 'what the heck' and tried upgrading to bootloader 2.47 using the microSD instructions at the same address.
3. Upgraded the Radio to 3.42.50.
4. A reboot brought me to the Telus screen so I thought I had done something wrong.
5. I reverted back to Radio version 1.40
6. I reverted the bootloader to 2.07 using the instructions here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...TitanStockHome
7. I reflashed the stock Telus ROM.
8. Results are now that I cannot make any outgoing calls or data connections
(automated voice says I need to activate my phone) and my power key does not turn the device back on once it goes into 'hibernate' mode.

Inescabl, in all of those steps you failed to say when and where you upgraded to a third party ROM.... Within the first two I already see a point of concern where you stated you unlocked to 2.40 and then your next step being, ''what the heck' and tried upgrading to bootloader 2.47 using the microSD instructions. How did you get into the OS? Were you still on the stock radio and ROM?? You then stated that you flashed to the latest radio, but of course a reboot would only bring you to be stuck on the Telus screen if you'd not bothered to also flash to an appropriate ROM.
From what you've described, you decided to go a bit your own way, and did not pay close enough attention to the stated steps and problem solving that I wrote in the Wiki.
I'm glad that it all worked out for you, but this should be a warning to others to not rush into things without first being clear upon what the Wiki's guides and troubleshooting offer.
Keystone,
Correct. I should have used the phrase 'reprogram' by dialing *22803 for Telus users after you reflash your phone. 'Re-activate' was the wrong term.
Second, you are also correct in that my steps failed to say that I upgraded to a third party ROM and that was what I missed. On my second attempt I did upgrade to the third party ROM and all systems are now 'go'.
Third, when I said 'what the heck' I meant that since I had successfully upgraded the bootloader to 2.40 using USB I thought I'd try upgrading to 2.47 using the MicroSD method. You don't need to go into the OS to do that but merely need to get back into the bootloader screen by pressing POWER-CAMERA-SOFT RESET.
The difficulty I had resulted from the fact that the wiki is not clear that in order to install the latest ROM you need to be connected to the phone via USB and on the bootloader screen on your phone. This is where I was slightly confused and didn't understand where to go next. Perhaps you could update your instructions a little? It's funny how one person can read something and think one thing and another can read it and not see what you were thinking!
One final note. With respect to these statement: "You then stated that you flashed to the latest radio, but of course a reboot would only bring you to be stuck on the Telus screen if you'd not bothered to also flash to an appropriate ROM.From what you've described, you decided to go a bit your own way, and did not pay close enough attention to the stated steps and problem solving that I wrote in the Wiki.I'm glad that it all worked out for you, but this should be a warning to others to not rush into things without first being clear upon what the Wiki's guides and troubleshooting offer.
Though I appreciate your response I didn't really care for this final note where you took the opportunity to jab at my personal character. I did take the time and did pay attention and did not 'go my own way'. There was just that one step that I mentioned that was confusing. My post was not a personal affront to your wiki and I do appreciate it as do many others. Instead this is perhaps an opportunity to make your wiki even better!
Thanks,
Ry

I never did anything of the sort! Please, have better respect for other members here and take better care in what you read:

I was not sure what you had presented in the OP and was trying to clarify what had occurred to cause your problems. In many such threads newer people will read and get confused, and that is why I prefer to get to the bottom and then use that information to help prevent such mishaps occurring again. As what I concluded was apparently spot on, then, dude, politely recognising what was - was certainly no comment in-any-shape-nor form upon your character. Smile.
The Wiki instructions are attempting to cover nearly all of the bases to best serve the most people and likely problems. There is no single way to flash and there are numerous roadblocks that may occur. Having a simple and linear guide may be nice, but I strongly feel that it leads to rushed and relatively uninformed short-cuts where one error or another problem can leave one stuck and confused.
Keystone,
Glad to know it was just a misunderstanding. And to clarify, at no time have I disrespected you or the other fine members of this forum who use their spare time to have some fun with their hobby.
Also for the record, you did not conclude spot on unfortunately as it was not my rushing through the instructions that caused the issue but rather the fact that there is a certain amount of extrapolation required from your instructions to get everything working correctly.
Thanks again for all your help as I do appreciate it.
You're, welcome.
, I've been tryin to update my Mogul's ROM to the newest DCD ROM(3.2.6 i think) and I ran into some issues that I can't seem to find on the wiki. The first thing I did was upgrade the SPL using nueSPL-2.47 by putting onto a FAT32 Sd card(1gb). That worked out fine it looks like. When I go into the bootloader it says what it should.
So then I moved on to upgrading the radio ROM. For this I used Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50. Inside the RAR file it came in was TITAIMG.nbh. The wiki said thats what I need so I loaded that onto my Sd card and entered bootloader. It found it and asked me to press the power button and then did the update and said it was a sucess. From there... nothing happens. it stays at the gray screen. I figured I need to reset it myself so I pressed reset and now it hangs at the big yellow screen that says SPRINT and doesnt load into the OS.
The wiki says this is because I didn't load the right rom for my phone, but I'm almost positive this is the right radio for the mogul, no? I don't know what went wrong, so I'm at a complete loss.
Anyone have any ideas on how I'm messing this up?
you need to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
your radio has to be matched with a compatible rom, since you're on radio 3.42.50, you need a gps/reva rom, any of the ones listed at the bottom.
you can flash a rom via microsd as well, but it wont load the stock os, which is what im assuming u are still on, with a newer radio.
good luck

You've mentioned installing an appropriate bootloader and radio for DCD's 3.2.6, but you have failed to state what OS ROM is loaded or if you did attempt to flash to 3.2.6.
Hmm.. Yeah I am still on the stock Os Rom. I didn't realize the newer radio would make it incompatible. I suppose the dumb mistakes are the easiest to make.
So now, I need to update the OS Rom and I should be fine. Only problem is... I can't figure out now how to update to dcd 3.2.6. I need to flash via the SD card but I can't find the .nbh file in the RUU directory. What else am I missing?
*edit* Figured all this out, see post below.
Okay... I spoke too soon, cause I'm not out of the woods yet. i upgraded the Rom and have it working on the phone. Cept', I guess my account is no longer tied to the phone anymore, cause I can't make calls or do anything related. Is the simple way to fix this just calling sprint up and just saying I want to switch my account over to this 'new' phone? I've done that plenty to switch back and forth between the two phones I own, but I'm wondering if there's something else wrong.
I did install the sprint carrier .cab, so I know that's not an issue.

don't tell them you want to switch or anything... Just tell them you hard reset your phone and now your having this problem.
depending on the issue.. I know with verizon I either cant make calls (needs an Akey reset) or I cant get data (needs a DMU reset). I just call them and tell them I performed a hard reset because I had an issue and now I need (one of those things) reset. I'm sure it's the same for you.. this will happen when going from non GPS to GPS radio.
i usually flash the rom first then the radio both from sd. plus i dont think the card can be a sdhc
