Ok.. I just got a new XV6800. I'm a complete newbie at this.
I installed:
SPL: 2.40
ROM: 3.2.3
Radio: 3.42.30
It was a brand new phone & not activated.
Everything seemed to go ok.
I rebooted.. Had a real difficult time getting a wireless signal.. Eventually got one.. But kept getting signal lost when trying to dial *228..
Finally got it to go through.. phone reboot.. signal didn't come back..
So what did I do wrong? Any ideas how to fix it?
*sigh* I really wish you people would search the forums.
I'm not even bothering to copy/paste the explanation, all you get is a link...
http://ppc.stoleyour.net/xv6800/#signal
Actually did search but never found that link. Appreciate it. I'll follow it and hope it works for me.
P.S. I used google to search the forums as was indicated and never found the post that way.. Only one I found was
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1944961&postcount=1
which didn't help.

I think the correct sequence is:
SPL: 2.40
Radio: 3.42.30
ROM: 3.2.3
Carrier CAB
I would also suggest to activate the phone first with your carrier and make sure that the phone works before flashing it.

I flashed mine before activating it and I didn't have any problems. It saved me a phone call (didn't need to call for a new A-Key).
BTW -- Thank you.. Not sure how it happened but it actually fixed itself.. I kept trying to run ##778 & EPST and it would never work.. Finally after about 20 minutes it got a signal lock but still not EPST or ##778.. I rebooted the phone and it was working & had a signal. I rebooted again and still working with a signal.. Maybe it just needed to acquire a signal once after being activated with *228

Exactly the link I've been looking for...been contemplating a cooked ROM flash but there is so much information all over the place its hard to figure out exactly what you need to do.
That site provides a simple, no-nonsense how-to
I'm still going to wait and see what happens with the VZW 6.1 update that is supposed to come out within the next few weeks.
Again, thanx for posting that link

The difficultly with Cricket is there is no "stock" Rom for this phone. I had the same problem with a Palm Treo, it worked great until I ported my home phone number to the phone and I lost internet. I could only find the same instructions that I have and must have punched it in a thousand times, called Cricket a couple to have my data package removed and added and nothing. When I swapped out for a Cricket Motorola K1m KRZR everything worked just fine. So something happened to the phone and I wasn't going to fix it as there was no stock rom to go to. You might try buying a cheap real Cricket phone off ebay, changing to that phone and then change back to the Titan and see if that changes something. $15 per swap though, maybe find a friend that can do it for free. Hope this helps.
I have other phones, even an other titan, same rom and everything. It has been my test phone for flashing. I didn't want to boar group with story. I ordered one from fundevices and after 6 weeks of waiting and calling, I ordered on off evilbay and it showed in two days. Ran it for a bit the way it came with 6.0 and would send pic but not recieve. Fathers day wife, kids and I went camping and my phone got soaked with soda (floated in it for while on car charger before I found it). Sunday we got home and I took phone apart and cleaned screen side best I could, but mother board and key board got most damage. It would come on, then off, and on, and off........
anyway I washed the mother board in hot water and dish soap in big bowl for about 15 minutes. Put all back together making sure everything was 100% dry. Turned it on, nothing. But it would charge battery. Monday the first one oredered (after 10 weeks) was at my door after work. I didn't activate it knowing I was going to change the rom, and just used wifi for about 5 days. Still using damaged one as a charger and backup battery. I sent both phones to to0 (mike cooper) and had him flash the to0v3 rom on one, but he couldn't get wet phone to come on. When I got phones back, it still had 1.20 bootloader and his rom. No gps, and it took me a week to get the net to work and mms never worked. Sent it to him under the impression that his rom posted on ppc, hofo and cricket phone talk saying everything worked, was what I was getting him to do. When I got it back, activated it, and made a call, no mic. It's not broken. Missing driver, missing patch? Don't know, I know it works. Make a call (not activated) and blow in mic. Get static. Do a video, and it records and plays back sound, but to do a voice command, or record a voice memo nothing. After a few days the battery was low, but not dead. I took backup off damaged phone and put in low battery and turned on (constant on and off would kill it for sure) and it came on. I mean it is the phone I use everyday, flashing, no luck, this post. Been going for about 6 weeks. Still untouched, 2.09 sprint rom with 1.32.00 radio, and it had a dcd hack since windows media player said dcd rom in back ground. How it came working on cricket. While flashing phone with no mic, I hooked up good phone and did unlocker on it without really knowing what I was doing. Of course it stuck in bootloader and I had no clue what to do. By now I have flashed, and flashed, and flashed. Even ripping apart roms posted to put together some things. E.G. dcd 1.6.0 to get stock 1.06 spl and putting it in 2.09 rom that was on phone ruu folder to get phone locked to do hard spl 2.40 Original rom had 1.20 and every time i relocker, it would get stuck in bootloader and then I would flash original rom, thus completing a circle.
How I got to where I'm at now. With 2.09 rom, use relocker, then rom I pieced up to get out of bootloader. Then run hard spl 2.40 since unlocker doesn't, and flashing 2.47 from card always gets me stuck in 2.07 bootloader. Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

Was there a question in there?
How far did you get? where are you stuck? what part do you need help with?
Can you not flash 3.2.6 and run the cricket carrier cab to get all this working..? (I have VZW.. so I'm not sure about cricket)
Question is fairly clear. I posted link to ppcgeeks where my origanl question was, and when I said something about ruffling featers. Will I get anywhere asking this group to help me since it is a near perfect mirror of ppc geeks as for as stickies, threads, even what is in the threads word for word, bashing ppc for not having the backbone to answer my request for help and trying to get it here? If you read my post at ppc showing that my mms kinda works, my net does work my gps doesn't work, dialing *228 after going thru a list of prls. I guess it would be obvious of the whole, is there a question here?
How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
What the hell is up with my mms?
Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls
Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
And, isn't the process I went thru supposed to give me evdo rev a? To0's rom didn't, even after boasting it did. I have done dcd roms, but they seem to be too blahh for me. In my post at ppc it shows my pc is junk (ibm). Figuring out my build os to come up with with my own rom is a joke, it took me 2 hours to do first post here. (really) and ended up having to do it on my titan. Only thing I would trade on the vito rom is the feedback in exchange for windows update.
Sorry, but you asked.
Wow that seems like a lot of frustration, I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried to bring the phone back to its original carrier like Verizon or Sprint and then started over with the latest Radio and DCD Rom? The reason I ask is it seems that you might need to start from a known point to "clean" out all the "custom" stuff. You also might want to contact Bunvilla as he PMed me with Cricket info and has he Mogul working on Cricket:
well i bought a qwest mogul which was configured for qwest network. It took a few day to find a way to get the SPC or MSL code as they call it which allows me to go into the settings and change it from qwest to cricket settings. Once the settings have been changed then u will be able to gain access on crickets network. There is a very important file called a PRL which u need to load onto the phone but can only do it if u have the SPC code. good news i can tell u how to get any carries SPC code for the mogul/ its a piece of cake to switch and way cheaper of a bill and u will have access to all the features internet and everything. hope this has helped " cricket rules"

I unfortunately am not on Cricket with my Titan. I am getting ready to flash a Verizon Motorola K1m KRZR over to Cricket but it seems way different process. I hope you do figure it out and some one on Cricket here can help you get past this ugly mess. Hopefully Bunvilla can help. I will PM him now and ask him to get in touch with you.

Well, first I would like to help you… but you posted a link that does not take me to a post.. it takes me to a general forum.. And it’s the Vogue Forum at that. I’m not searching another board for your question. So Excuse me for not knowing your question.
Second, While I have not read your post there.. If you posted with anywhere near the lack of information or general attitude (as if you are entitled to be helped) as you did here.. I can see why nobody helped you. (edit I see more info in your second post but you are all over the place and filled with irrelevant info it's hardly readable)

Yes, a proper post with a well phrased question, information on what rom / radio / and steps you’ve taken.. and a proper post title will almost always get a response and the help you need to get you on the right track. The post title is important because people see those and decide.. “Hey I know how to fix that” (MMS and GPS on Cricket Help) would be a good one. Your title “Will this work” will be skipped by most people. So… if you don’t follow those steps.. NO it’s not worth asking here.

It’s possible you did something wrong… Because a rom does not work for you, you cant go blaming the rom.. unless everyone or most people have the problem. (I’m not familiar with that rom) If many people use it, and it works for most.. then the problem is probably you.. Bashing the rom will get you nowhere fast.
** Edit** Didn't realize To0's Rom was installed for you for $$.. odd?

DCD is what I use… Not sure I can help you with another rom… I cant fix your PC either. Whats blahh about a DCD rom.. Can you tell me what makes another rom better. They are all about the same except the performance tweaks and stability. DCD is stable and performs well.. everything else is an app that can be installed on any rom.

This whole process is wierd....
So I think I understand.. you are at SPL 2.40? Because 2.47 would not work? You put a sprint rom on it, but it says no radio?
Are you against DCD 3.2.6? I'll cook you a rom with the features you want and put it on my FTP if your computer is too slow to do it.
Do you have an SD card thats less than 2GB and formatted with Fat 32?
If so.. I should be able to help you get working.

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
wow!!!! Its gonna be ok lil buddy. hang in there and have some patients ( i know your patients has been depleted) and i will try and help u to get answers and your phone working properly again.
I personally have so much on my plate that i dont get to "ppc geekout" as much as i used to.
1) How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
well the answer is that u shouldnt really have to enter anything in any field/ just make sure that the radio and the rom are both of the GPS rom release. cant have a pregps radio with a gps enabled rom, this is not good.
2)What the hell is up with my mms?
mms is a fickled thing , especially for us cricket people/ the problem is the wap settings and some wierd issue in the reg where a certain setting would basically block our phones from recieving the mms message.
Long story short is that with the updating of roms (from wm5 to wm6 to wm6.1) the mms seems to also have changed and just when we figure out what the problem is , it gets changed. and also cricket service doesnt use as sophisticated servers for handling mms as lets say "sprint" so we cricket people have to make changes to get our mms to work . BUT in a nut shell i have successfully got mms to work with the latest PPCKITCHEN rom release.
It took me 5 1/2 hours to figure out y i couldnt get PPCKITCHEN to work on my computer./ had to use a utility to remove netframe work and then download a 200mbsfile of netframe 3.5 and that did the trick.
3)Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls?
BECAUSE U DONT HAVE YOUR SPC or MSL CODE SET TO 000000!
PERIOD!!!! im not yelling just letting u know exactly y/ ive done this successfully twice to my current titan/ cricket sets its SPC code for all its phones to 000000/ so when it trys to access your phone it cant get pass the code/ i have the modem drivers and program u will need (which i dont know if we are aloud to mention it here) but i have it and will pass it on to u/
4)Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?
now naturally your phone will switch betwwen evdo and 1x /1x when you recieve or make a call send a text msg etc, and evdo when using data/
connection/ Now i also expierenced a couple months back when my phone all of a sudden would not stay in evdo mode no matter what i did/ i think it was a certain rom and radio combo which fixed it, but anyhow first things first.
PS by the way, these 2 files have gotten me unstuck from the boot loader mode a bunch of times and i would say the most valuable files to have are these two/
i will PM u ok , lets just take it slow k, your situation sounds like a bunch of software issues which is ALOT better than defective hardware issues
JPWHRE
sorry if my spelling suks im a lil tired/ I did get a PM from jambrose/ So just to let u know, that u should give him a big thanks/ not that i wouldnt of helped u if i came across your post but to be honest i dont read alot of the posts anymore/
And by the way jambrose, its good to hear from u. Im glad u r out there helping these guys, and keeping the support going.
hey JPWHRE
for some reason i cant send u an attachment in a PM so i guess ill post the files and info here ok
1)First run the "titan RELOCKER" file with your
phone connected to active
sync, it should return your
phone to the stock
bootloader/
2)Next run the "titan unlocker"
next , this will allow u to
install olipro 1.20/ after
running the unlocker and
following its instructions u
might be in bootloader mode
if i remember right
3) your phone should be in
bootloader mode now,(if it
aint, put it in boot mode) so
just run the "ROM update
utility" in the "olipro 1.20
unlocker" folder im sending u
k/
** u may still be in
bootloader mode when u r done
installing the 1.20 BL, NO
PROBLEM, just run the
DisconnectActiveSync.exe file
first in the "Unlockboot
folder" i have included, THEN
the "titan_exitbl.exe"/
THIS should cause your phone
to reboot.
4)next i believe we r ready
to load radio ( for some
reason the radios can only be
installed using olipro 1.20)
in the folder i have the
radio in, u will run the ROM
update utility and install
the radio.
5) Next u will need to update
your bootloader to 2.40, so
that u can load a custom rom.
Just run the
"Hard-240SPL-MFG.exe" file
ive included and it should
update u with no problems,
Once this has been done u can
now go and install ROM of
your choice/ *** PPCKITCHEN latest rom release allows MMS for us cricket folks**** and if u installed the ROM and cant get the MMS to work just PM me and ill give u the instructions to enable it, there is some adjustment that will need to be made first , so dont worry , we will get it working k**
6) well my friend this has
taken alot out of me/ i will
post these instructions im
giving u under your thread
that way incase i have missed
something, somebody can
inform us/
PS GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, and
if u get stuck or have a
question, just PM me, but if
i dont get back to u right
away, be patient, k
heres a link to all the neccessary files, its to big to add as an attachement:

DID THIS HELP U???? I havent heard one way or the other from u so i am wondering if this worked for u ??
Just looking for a place to start...
I have Cricket on my PoS Cricket phone. Unlimited mobile web on my account. I also have an originally T-mobile Wizard which I've been using just as a mini-laptop and to learn to cook, flash, etc on...
I'm about to buy a Mogul which is supposedly Cricket flashed and/or a Sprint phone originally. As I understand it, either of these should be qualifiers for a fully functional Cricket Smartphone, yes? I want my voicemail, text messages, to surf the web via my cell connection as well as wifi. Bluetooth, gps, and just about anything else are icing that isn't -truly- a requisite for me. What thread should I start reading for -any- Rom that will accomplish the above. I don't mind if the rom is "too blahh". If you are opposed to singling out a specific rom that you (as a cricket customer with a running mogul) like...You could always post a few that you know work. I understand how the "best rom" politics go.
Also, if there are any other considerations I should keep in mind, please reply!
Hey I just put NueRom 3 on my phone. I am fairly experienced with flashing roms and decided to try his high memory build. I put Nuerom 3 on and It ran great so i put Manilla 2d on. It ran slow, so i Hard reset the phone. Now i cannot make calls But i can receive calls. Also i can send and receive txt's and my data works. Odd huhh? Have not called VzW yet, Have tried multiple *228's. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you need an A-key to reauthorize your phone with vzw. Listen to the promp when dialout to see if it says your phone is not authorized from the prerecorded message.
Thats exactly what happened to me. I accidentally let the customizations run when I was testing for the SOD issue. But, try a *228 first. If you accidentally let the customizations run, that just messed up your prl because they are for Sprint. This is all assuming you used the precooked rom from no2chem.
It is not PRE-Cooked

Yeah, It says "Were Sorry We are currently not able to authenticate your phone." And no its not a Pre-cooked rom i used the PPC KItchen. And yes i did select VERIZON as my carrier the problem happened AFTER i did a hard reset not when i flashed the rom.

It's normal. You need to dial #8899 send, then tell the CSR that you're getting that message. They'll authenticate you.

Hey guys I have a quick question. I've done some searching and am not sure about this. I bought a evo 3d from a friend of mine. It was a sprint phone that is now on frawg. Last week the internet and everything worked fine. I activated it under my number this week and now the internet no longer works. It just says no connection when you try anything internet related if you are not on WiFi. I called frawg and they said it was the flash coming out. Is this something I can fix myself or do I really have to pay these guys $50 to fix the flash.
Come on guys somebody's gotta know about this.I've been googling but don't really understand what I need

Going to need more info before anyone can attempt to help. What exactly was flashed (ROM, radios, etc)? Where did the content that was flashed come from, along with a link to it. No one can help without being able to see what it is.
That being said, a flash doesn't "come out."
Your friend should be able to help you or have the info. Maybe paying the $50 to have frawg fix it would be best as it seems you aren't familiar with flashing.
It is running the stock rom 4.0.3. As far as I know the ntelos radio and prl were flashed by an employee at the ntelos store. He has tried to take it up there for me but she took a few days off this week. I know a little bit about flashing ROMs but I don't know if this is like a ROM or completely different.
So is this something I can do myself?
It is if you have the radios and prl to flash

Can those be found on line? Apparently the person that flashed it does not work there anymore or they just don't want to fix it. It looks like I'm stuck fixing it my self

If it worked before you activated it on your account and you didn't change the phone (flash new rom or RUU) then it isn't the phone. Like I said before, a flash doesn't "come out" like they told you. Flashing the radios over again won't fix it. To me it sounds like it's service related, and only frawg can do something about it. They need to reprovision your phone from their end. The only other thing to check is the network setting on your phone and make sure that mobile data is enabled.
No I haven't tried to flash a Rom or anything on the phone. I also do not receive voicemail notifications. I have talked to a few people at their customer service and in the store and they all say the same thing. ill try to call after work about what you said. Mobile network was enabled but it does. Not connect.
I work for a company doing tech support and one of the problems we've ran into is that our employees are sending their old GS3 devices back to us after we upgrade them and we cannot get into them. When we get the phones back they are locked, encrypted, and off. Our policy is that we never ask employees for passwords so that if our employees get someone asking for a password, their natural response is to take a step back and refuse to share passwords.
So now we have probably 10+ USCellular GS3 devices that are locked and encrypted. Does anyone know a way to wipe these to factory settings w/o knowing the password?
Thanks!

Even if somebody knows how to I don't thing anybody in there right mind would post a solution here! (1) XDA would not allow it (2) It is illegal (3) Anybody who lets say uses a stolen phone would know exactly where to look to reset the phone!
Why didn't you just suggest for your "employees" to just factory reset their phones and unlock before sending them to you?..
WRONG

Ok (1)If anyone DIDN'T think this post was anything sinister, they sure as hell do now. Thanks man. (2) It makes no difference whether it is encrypted or not, i don't want the data off of it and that is the soul reason to encrypt a phone, to keep the data inside protected. (3) WE RIGHTFULLY OWN ALL OF THESE DEVICES but just cannot unlock them (4)Even if they were stolen, their MEID would be blacklisted and they would just be a glorified mp3 player that cannot be hooked up to a network.
This is not illegal, not even a little bit. Prove me wrong with data to support it buddy.....

Funny how u work for a company tat does tech but dun know tat it is IMEI instead of MEID.
(1)He was saying tat xda does not allow anyone to make use of the info to do illegal things. So if anyone got a stolen phone, they can use the info here and xda will be partially responsible.
(2)no idea wat u are saying
(3)Wat I said in '(1)'

To say my post was WRONG is inaccurate (partially wrong maybe)
My original answers:
(1) XDA would not allow it (RIGHT THEY WOULD NOT!:good
(2) Illegal (Maybe not..my mistake )
(3) Anybody who lets say uses a stolen phone would know exactly where to look to reset the phone! (OBVIOUSLY RIGHT!:good
Your answers:
(1) People may think it was sinister because of the nature of the question wiping a locked phone! (not that I think you personally have anything to hide)
(2) I know what encrypting a phone is
(3) I NEVER SAID YOU DID NOT OWN THE DEVICES!
(4) I never said anything about the imei ..(and they would make good mp3 players )
My point was to say you would not get any answer on here on how to wipe the phones!
But you still did not answer my question why did you not just ask the employees to just unlock and factory reset before returning to you (would have saved you alot of trouble)
I was not saying the your phones where stolen but posting any information on here about wiping locked phones would not be allowed and would be a haven for people who are not entirely honest..
Thanks

Ok ass hat, 1st, the IMEI contains the MEID (at least on my devices it does) so ease up and 2nd, forgive me if i use the wrong acronym, it's not like IT Professionals have that many to remember.... (sarcasm since we are spelling it out) and 3rd, you spelled "that" wrong so i don't feel bad for making a small mistake.

similar situation..
hi all.. ive posted this in another forum but havent seen a reply yet. i thought i'd try my luck in this thread as it's kinda relevant to my situation. obviously im not fluent in cellphone tech but at the recommendation of a member here i went to root my gs3 (gt-i9300) using kingo. i should have stuck to the old adage, "if it seems to good to be true, then it probably is.." but thought safe in the recommendation of others... the idea of rooting my phone in a single click process seemed wonderful. so, i now have a hardbricked phone.
after whipping up a usb jig following various youtube guides i was able to get it back to download mode. so, my primary question is, "because my phone was encrypted before becoming a brick, am i able to restore it using odin?" or will it keep taking me back to the encryption password screen with no hope to restore the phone?
ok, what the problem is, is this: i've tried to re-flash firmware from sammobile relevant to my country and model with odin(v3.07), it completes successfully, reboots, then takes me back to the encrypt screen. the prob is, when i enter the password the phone just turns off and i have to take the battery out to get back to download mode through the usb jig. also, after trying to flash with an earlier firmware, it just keeps saying "try again" without turning off, still no joy but atleast with that firmware it didn't turn off.
any help or guidance would be very welcome, as i'm willing to keep working if i can restore my phone, if it's beyond hope then i will just dump it.
