Hi all.
with the 6800-
I flash nexvisions rom and the new radio. After reading ppcgeeks tutorial, I thought I needed to run IOTA.cab to get my data settings even though I'm on Verizon. Well, after doing a *228 and calling verizion to get my calls to go though, my data is now screwing up.
The problem is- when I run internet explorer (with google mobile as my homepage) it chokes after about 50 K downloaded and wont finish. The data connection is lousy. If I try to close out my data connection using the connection manager it comes up with a warning about IOTA data errors.
Now I know that vzw users do not need IOTA. Is there a way to reset what IOTA does to your data connection settings without doing a hard reset? I can't find a 'unintstall' IOTA.cab anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cook ROM as Verizon, not Sprint?
Maybe just run the ROM again
I can not think of a good way to get it all out but maybe someone has an idea. I am on VZW and it worked perfectly.
You should reflash.
Perhaps you shouldn't use Nexvision's ROM since it obviously has Sprint "parts" in it that seem to be interfering.
Here is what worked and is still working very well for me. I have no data or voice issues at all right now:

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 (this is VERY important!!)
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 (even though they are there and correct, type re-enter the information anyway)
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.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.
First- I'll try a hard reset first and see if that clears it up.
Then if that doesn't work, I'll try reflashing nexvisions rom and see if that clears it up.
If that doesn't work, I'll reflash trying the dcd rom.

If that doesn't work, you should do like I did and start with a clean slate. All the reflashing of ROMs and radios did me no good. Whatever issues I had were not going away with just another flash from one ROM to another.
Hard resetting fix everything.

Anyone having issues with the GPS working? I'm unable to get any GPS Sats locked at all. I can do everything else just fine.
Just verifying, did you check the steps in the GPS thread?
I'm installing 3.0 for the first time right now. Will test GPS soon.
Yeah
I've been using GPS for a bit now with the older ROMs. I just want to confirm other VZW have it working.
Works great here. Be sure you have Be sure your Location Setting is set to Location On.
If you are using Google Maps, be sure to turn on the GPS in the GMM menu.
Also, be sure you are outside, not in a building.

DCD 3.0.0 works Excellent on my XV6800
GPS improved. I get way more satellites.
I modified the ROM a little bit and on a Bare ROM flash I get 28MB and with some major apps i get down to 25MB to 26MB

Yes, it works. I have been using Google maps. One thing, I noticed this morning is starting it up after an hour being off and in a building is "Google Maps" would get hung at "Initializing GPS" when I selected "Use GPS". The only why I have gotting it to work again was a soft reset. Not sure what is going on, yet.
Everything works fine on my xv6800 with dcd 3.0.0 including GPS.
No more issue where it takes 5 seconds to connect to a call when answering...among many other fixes from the leaked rom.
Interesting
Seems to be related to building the Kitchen on Vista for me. I can reproduce the problem if I build the kitchen on Vista. If I use all the same options on XP, it works fine. Strange. I guess something it messing with the build process on Vista. Solved for me at least.
Stupid question... assume you need the latest radio for this (3.35 or whatever, I have 3.27)? I'm a little leery on upgrading again considering I had to call VZW and apparently they're hip to people flashing these roms.

Yes, you need 3.35 to work with DCD's 3.0.0. I did not have to call VZW this time going from 2.3.2 to 3.0.0, I can't confirm if it will retain the A-key authenication from previous versions, haven't been back there for a couple of weeks.

hmm... I don't have an A key on mine, but when I re-entered all the info it wouldn't let me place a call.
I'll give this a wack maybe tonight or tomorrow. I JUST upgraded to 2.3.2 and this comes out... figures.
I have only ever had to enter the A-key once, the very first time I flashed a ROM to the phone. Every upgrade since has just worked.
The latest is working great for me under VZW today. I was running 2.3.2 before that. I flashed the sprint ROM to get the new radio, then immediately flashed the ROM I built for verizon from the 3.0.0 kitchen. Did a *228 1 just in case, and verified that the PRL after that was identical to the one it had before I did the upgrade (##775 SEND, 000000).
EVDO, wifi, GPS all working. I like the new wireless today plugin.
I'd still love to see an up to date step by step on how to get VOIP working, I've never managed to get anything VOIP related on this phone.
GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS DCD! Thank you! Remember to show dcd the monetary appreciation guys.

rschell, i'm very curious to hear the exact steps you took to upgrade, so that you did not have to call verizon.
some specific questions i also have:
1) did you do the entire sprint upgrade to get the radio, or did you just install dcd's standalone 3.35 radio?
2) if the entire sprint upgrade was used: did you let the customizations run, or did you reboot into bootloader before that point, and if so, where exactly?
3) did you have to re-enter any settings in ##778 ?
thanks for any help you can offer!

Do not let the customizations run, just soft reset before they do. Now run the new kitchen creating your ROM. Should be nothing else to do.
I've never had to call Verizon through any flashes including when 3.16 first came out.

At least to Verizon customers, the EPST A-key will always be blank. It is a 26 digit number generated by Verizon that is different each time you authenticate. Once you enter it, and the device reboots the A-key disappears. I have had to call and get a new A-key every time I have made the switch from non-Rev A to Rev-A. Not sure this new radio is any different. I have had excellent support from Verizon, every time I have called, you just have to let them walk through their diagnostic tests.
The authentication issues appear to be Network Switch dependent. I just happen to be in one of those areas.

So if I just go ahead and reboot while, say, I'm in the screen calibration after my initial boot, I should be in the clear?
I was thinking of yanking the battery at this point, putting it back in, rebooting into bootloader, then flashing either by the RUU or SD (can't recall if the RUU works while in bootloader mode or not, so i've got the SD option to fall back on). Or should i just do as you say: soft reset, let the device come all the way back up, let activesync connect the phone as a guest, then run the RUU w/ DCD 3.0.0?
you don't even have to soft reset, or manually enter the bootloader. once you finish flashing the sprint update the phone will boot and will stop at the tap screen to set up device screen...at this screen activesync WILL connect. just run the kitchen and the phone will AUTOMATICALLY put itself into the bootloader and flash the new rom without running sprint customizations. the sprint customizations only run after you set the device up, not before.

Starting from 2.3.2 (if you start from the pre-GPS ROM, you may need a different SPL).
I did both the radio and ROM in one upgrade, I just did not let the customizations run, actually I forced it to the boot loader just after the HTC Mobile splash screen came up. Then I installed DCD's 3.0.0 ROM from the boot loader (2.40!). See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2011926&postcount=3
Success!
Data connection confirmed working
Incoming/Outgoing calls confirmed working
Incoming/Outgoing texts confirmed working.
GPS confirmed working.
no calls to VZW customer support whatsoever.
so far, no *228 updates at all (prl seems to be current, 50989; confirmed within ##778)
Here's a quick rundown of my starting conditions, and what I did (basically, just followed gcincotta's instructions exactly)
Starting conditions:
-NexVision's no2chem 5051 - based ROM w/ 3.27 radio
-2.40 SPL
Upgrade procedure:
1) Connected phone via activesync
2) ran the official Sprint/HTC 3.35 upgrade utility, which ran successfully.
3) On the initial boot, I let activesync connect while the phone was still holding on the "tap screen here to begin" screen
4) I then ran the RUU using a DCD 3.0.0-based rom (NexVision's VZW 3.0.0), which was successful.
5) After initial boot on NexVision's rom, I let the customizer run (i think it's just an SD power management program). It soft reset, and I was good to go.
That's it! Once it booted up after the second install, everything that I confirmed above was working perfectly.
Thanks again guys!
Hey guys,
I've been doing a lot of reading on the forums here, and finally decided to go with the DCD 3.0.4 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385336
I installed the SPL-2.40.Olipro, did the Sprint ROM for the Radio, then did the DCD 3.0.4
The issue I have now is that it's connected as an international roaming connection, with the triangle at the top. I couldn't find anything about this, so I decided to post. I did ##778 and set the NAM Name and verified that the MSID and the ESNs were correct, and they were, and I did *22803
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Okay, so I think I found out what I did... I let the Sprint ROM load the files after installing it... Which changed the EPST(?) What I don't know, is how to fix this..
You should be able to just reflash your stock rom. You may have to relock your phone. Activate it again. Run olipro again, and reflash the sprint rom. Once it starts to boot put it back into the boot mode. Reflash DCD's rom - reactivate. You should be good to go.
EDIT: So the ROM did have the Radio built in... contrary to what I read in another thread. Working on starting over. Thanks for the help.
Even on the stock ROM after a hard reset I'll often get the roaming triangle. I set it to Sprint Only in the roaming menu and after a few minutes it's OK .
ever since I installed the rom, my wifi stopped catching signals completely. now I just added the data plan on my phone, and the data isnt working either. Any idea what the problem could be?
EDIT: ALSO I have a verizon phone, yet when I soft reset, Alltell shows up instead of the Verizon Logo. Maybe this has something to do with it
fix
What radio are you using?
Have you tried hard resetting and skipping the customizations? I don't see why Alltel would be displayed if you did a fresh ROM flash, as there is nothing associated with AllTel unless you installed the wrong CAB.
Best bet would be: Go to the Radio 3.40.30 thread, download the Unlocker for Olipro 1.2 and most recent Radio...flash the Unlocker, let it get into Boot Loader mode, then flash the Radio. Then it will boot up again, and flash your phone with Olipro 2.4, then flash the 3.2.3 DCD rom. Install carrier cab, and the Arcsoft one if you need it....then you're done.
The data connection may be another story...but I'd first get the ROM up and going, with the ability to make phone calls / send texts.

Actually that's the funny part, I CAN make calls and texts. I didn't brick my phone or anything, GPS works fine too. The only problem is the WIFI and data connection - should I still go ahead and try that new rom?
problem
I would definitely suggest the whole procedure, from Radio flash and then further to the ROM reflash.
If after you've done all those things, and your WiFi is jacked, at least in my mind, the things probably broken.
Data connection could just be a matter of password being incorrect, or needing a DMU reset. See if you can do the flash to get the WiFI working first.

Do you have aim/msn or something? I updated to DCD 3.2.3 and the wifi works great now. But the data network keeps saying I have the wrong username and password. I even called up verizon for that and they dont know what the problem is. I bet it's incredible simple :/ What is a DMU reset????
Thanks a bunch in advance
EDIT: Also my phone is RIDDLED with alltel settings when it should be verizon, even AFTER all these updates!! I went into the EPST and a bunch of things had alltel. need help fast :/

Chose Verizon, checked the EPST. Everything looked fine, but the m.IP Default Profile is still [email protected].
I was able to get an A-Key (and a password???) from the rep. The A-Key is pretty long.. does that sound about right? Anyway DATA still doesn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm trying to get this up and running as soon as possible
Hi,
I'm with Telus, and been running custom roms for a while now, without any problems... until now.
To make a long story short, I was stupid enough to let the Sprint customization run on the latest stock rom; from then on, I couldn't get any data connection from any custom rom I tried. All in all, a pretty common problem.
So, in order to fix the Sprint customization, I re-flashed the latest stock Telus rom, and that went great. Re-locked the phone, and re-flashed a custom rom (dcd 3.2.x, everytime with the Telus carrier cab of course) believing that all would be working good now. But, I still couldn't get a data connection.
I flashed back the stock rom, and tested there if I could get the connection; lo & behold, the data connection actually works with the stock rom! I've done that pattern a couple times now, and everytime I flash a custom rom, I can't get data to work, even tough it seems to work all right when using the stock rom.
I never seen references of that problem when data only works with the stock rom; any idea what I can do to repair the data connection for custom roms? Thanks a lot.
install the Telus carrier cab. thats the only reason why u dont get data. I'm with Telus as well and run the latest from DCD w/no problems. Make sure u have the latest or min. req. radio.
This has been checked and done over and over. I always install the telus cab. I tried installing it multiple times. I tried installing an older one. I tried an older radio. I tried a hard reset.
Sorry, but I really need something not as obvious as installing the carrier tab to fix the problem.

There have been several threads and posts regarding your specific issue. Please search a little more next time, because you would have found the answer.
You will not get data working again until you get a DMU reset from your carrier. The Sprint customizations overwrote your DMU keys and they need to be reset. Flashing the stock rom refurbishes your PRI and gets the rest working fine, but for data this is the ONLY way, next to swapping your phone out for a new one.
But why does my data works with the stock rom if my DMU is wiped?! That's what I don't understand. And like I said, it's consistent; I'm on the stock rom, data works. I flash a custom rom (obviously unlocking and flashing a new radio too), install the carrier cab, data doe not work. I flash back the stock rom, data works. How come?
edit: I re-read a good bunch of the threads speaking about letting the customization for another carrier run, and not once did I see the same problem that I have; that is, that data is working with the stock rom, but not with a custom one. Would it be particular to Telus? And don't tell me I'm not installing the carrier cab when I go custom.

I had the same problem as you man, except with verizon wireless. If you've followed all the steps (i.e flashed to stock, and then flashed the new radio without letting customizations run) then there's only one thing left to do which fixed my problem. Call up Telus and have someone remove your Data feature, and to put on Pay per KB/MB. It should THEN work, because the DMU is now reset. So after it's removed, give it a whirl to google.com or whatever. Hang up, and call back. Ask them to add the data plan again. Data should now work for you
Let me know if the problem persists!
I'll call Telus in the next few days and try to make my way to a DMU reset. I'll post the results once it's done.
FIXED, and WITHOUT getting my DMU reset. I simply installed that rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364157
with radio 3.27, and data worked. This was the first time since the Sprint customization that I could get data working on a non-stock rom. I then proceeded to install a newer radio and the latest dcd. Works like a charm
Told you guys a DMU reset didn't make sense since data was working with the stock rom!
I have a VZW XV6800. Getting a replacement device so I decided to practice flashing a new radio/ ROM. Last night was my first time! lol and I was up until 4am trying to follow the guide. I was flashing wby USB. What seem like pretty straight forward directions had me baffled. I ended up with a updated radio and a sprint rom.
I understand the order to be
unlock
update radio
update rom
install carrier CAB
I couldn't find the compatable Radio without the Sprint ROM. So I flashed that and then Flashed dcd Titan 3.2.5 ROM and installed vzw cab. Got the phone to work but could'nt get the data to work. Also I noticed that my phone had switched to 1x instead of EV.
PLEASE help! I have my new phone and want to flash correctly this time. I also have to flash my old phone back to stock before I return it. I swear im not retarded! I only hope its easier the second time.
If you are new to this, and don't wanna brick your phone, then install these in this order...(HardSPL rom, Radio rom, Phone rom, Carrier cab)
1.Here is the HardSPL ROM:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/spl/titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
2. Here is the radio rom:
http://lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/radios/Titan%20Radio%20ROM%203.42.50.rar
3. Here is the phone rom:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/roms/dcd_titan_3.2.5.exe
4. Here are the carrier cabs:
http://lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/carriers/
Do all that, from the beginning, and you will be fine. (Also, showing 1X or EV will depend on your location)
After flashing, if you have no data you need to call verizon, tell them you hard reset your phone and data does not work. Request they reset your data services. If you get the message "Not authorized" while trying to make a call.. you need an AKey Reset.
To avoid this:
While you still have your old phone.....
1) Log into your verizon account... switch activation to your old phone.
2) Flash your new phone following the instructions already posted.
3) When you are finished, switch activation back to the new phone.
This should reset your Akey and data services so you dont need to call verizon to get them to work... As long as you have two phones, you can switch back and forth.
On my last replacement I kept the old phone for about 45 days.. was starting to wonder if I actually needed to send it back
Also when you post, put a real description of your issue in the title.. you'll get more reads and replies that way.
Thank you both! I plan on having time to flash Saturday. I will let you know how it goes. BTW are there any tips or tricks to getting a faster connection from my vzw aircard?
Once they give you an A-Key to manually type in, you will never need another one.
I have flashed my phone 100 times since I got my first A-Key, ane never had to call them back or do that activation-switch trick. My unlimited data works 100% on first boot after a rom and radio flash everytime.
