This the Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM with GPS enabled (it is not enabled in the OEM ROM). Enabling GPS is the only difference this will make to your phone. This is OS-only so you will need to flash the OEM ROM first.
Download GPS-enabled Alltel ROM
1. Flash the original Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM.
2. Connect to PC and copy TITAIMG.nbh from my ROM to a MicroSD and remove it from the phone. Or alternatively, use WinRAR to extract all the files from the original .exe file from step 1 and replace RUU_Signed.nbh with my TITAIMG.nbh file.
3. Install Hard-SPL 2.40 from Olipro Link
6. Reinsert MicroSD and hit RESET. TITAIMG.nbh will install. If it does not, hold POWER+CAMERA while pressing RESET, you will briefly see the tri-colored bootloader screen and it should load the ROM. Or if you extracted the RUU from the original .exe file, just run RomUpdateUtility.exe.

Someone on PPCGeeks requested an Alltel version of the GPS ROM with all the original apps (Office Mobile specifically) intact so here's my contribution. I figured I'd go ahead and post here since PPCGeeks is down right now.

The only change is I stripped Sprint stuff out, added Alltel stuff in. No other changes whatsoever. It will fix your splash screens and extended ROM back to Alltel if you flashed the official leaked Sprint firmware.
There is no IPL/SPL or radio in this ROM. You must first flash the 3.27 radio and Olipro Hard-SPL 2.40 first. Then copy TITAIMG.nbh to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD. Put the MicroSD in the phone and press POWER+CAMERA while pressing RESET to get into the bootloader. It will begin flashing automatically. No RUU is included because I couldn't get the RUU to work with Hard-SPL 2.40. However, maybe my old USB 1.1 laptop is the cause. If you'd prefer to try an RUU, just rename the file to RUU_signed.nbh.

the ruu works fine for me with spl 2.40, and you dont have to rename it at all, as long as there is only one .nbh file in your ruu folder.
THANKS!
Wish Me Luck!
THANK YOU!!! Downloading now.
Booo!

I never could get the Alltel WM6 RUU to work with SPL 2.40, nor the one that came with the Sprint leaked FW, nor one I downloaded from your FTP. They always cause the phone to reset at 1% and I get "ILLEGAL COMMAND" on the RUU. They all worked just fine with the old Hard-SPL 1.20 and also the 1.06 in the relocker. Weird. My laptop won't ActiveSync with any of my devices unless I turn off "Advanced network connectivity" in the control panel either, so it must be my old Thinkpad laptop. It's a P-III antique.
At any rate, flashing this ROM will be even easier for those who can use an RUU.
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've updated this ROM for 3.35.651.2.
Nevermind.
Updated for 3.35.671.9.
guys, i downloaded the new Alltel ROM yesterday. As stated, still wm6 but with RevA capability. I'm new to this stuff, but it looks like the above alltel ROM just gives the new stock ROM GPS capability. Is that correct?
Yes, it is a permanent way to get GPS capability with the stock ROM.
I theorize the necessary changes can be made into a simple cab file so you don't need to flash the ROM unless you want the GPS enabled permanently. I plan to make a cab later today as some people want to try it out.
yeah that would be cool.i have the new Alltel Radio, and i'm running DCD 3.0.1. the reason i went with 3.0.1 was i thought it enabled GPS. Now that i've got my device up and running, i see it does not.
DCD3.01 does infact have working GPS my friend.....
could be, if that's true my alltel engineer friends doesn't know about it. He told me GPS would not be enabled on the 6800 with Alltel. He even runs DCD, he can get it with a Sprint Radio, but not with the Alltel radio. again, that's just what he told me.
What he meant to say was that the ALLtel update does NOT include the drivers (3 of them) in the operating system thereby not enabling it, but the radio itself will allow GPS to work.... I'm flashing it right now, be back in a bit.... If you flash a DCD 3.0.x ROM you will have GPS drivers.....
gotcha. i'm not doubting you..just wasn't sure of that.
i have dcd3.0.1 for alltel. 3.0.4 was taken down. I didn't think the radio was going to allow it..that's why a few friends i have are using the sprint radio. I'm a techy, but not in this world, so i'm learning...

3.0.4 rom was never put up for alltel, thus never taken down
GPS does work with the alltel 3.37.20 radio and any dcd 3.x.x, on any carrier.
Is there any real improvements to this radio or is it just a higher number? Thus intreguing people.

If it is only three drivers, couldn't we just nab them from a GPS enabled ROM and manually copy them to the proper folders?
Hello all, i have Qwest service
i recently attempted a Rom upgrade to dcd 3.0.1.
I unlocked with olipro 2.40
then i ran the sprint 3.35 rom upgrade
and lastly tried to load dcd's Rom
all went fine (thanks to the tireless efforts of xda and ppc geeks contributors) until i tried to load dcd's rom.
my download of dcd 3.0.1 was corrupt ( i have since figured out that if you improperly input the download letters, your download will be corrupted without letting you know- always verify the file size when complete)
Because of this i ended up letting the sprint customizations run.
I have since made the change from the sprint rom 3.25 to dcd's rom but apparently, the sprint customizations, that i let run have hosed my data ability.
searching leads me to believe the best/easiest way to fix my data problem- (no data at all) is to relock my phone and load the original radio and rom
thanks to Bunvilla at PPCGeeks, i have the rom (2.13) but no one seems to have the radio (1.39)
any assistance would be appreciated- all of us Qwest subscribers (which piggy backs on Sprints network) are having a very difficult time finding any help for our phones
Does anyone have a copy of the radio or know where to find one?
Does anyone know how to make a copy of the radio and/or rom from a non-upgraded phone?
Does anyone have any other ideas how to get my data working again?
I have searched and read nearly every post on both xda and ppc site, so thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me/us

so you know this is an issue it seems with all new roms with the new sprint radio. i don't have any Data connection on mine as of this point and even after re locking and unlocking again (5 times) i still don't have data. i game from 2.40 oli , Nexvison 2.3.1.02. VZW and 3.27 Radio. i get authentication problems when trying to access the National Data Network. "user name and password incorrect.
you do need to go back to a stock rom and compatible radio to get your data working before attempting the upgrade again.
however, this doesnt have to be radio 1.39.
either relock or change to olipro-1.20, flash your original stock rom, and flash radio 2.17. then you should be able to get your data working, although it may take a call to qwest.
i saw iota mentioned in the topic but not the post... qwest does not include IOTA in their ROM. sprint IOTA will only work for sprint.
Thanks for the reply DCD- and thanks again for all your hard work.
You mentioned to downgrade to my original ROM and load the compatible RADIO from 2.17.
-Does this mean the complete sprint RADIO and ROM 2.17 or just the RADIO portion?
- if it's just the radio portion, where would i find that ( i have searched endlessly, hence the delay in posting a reply) ?
-if it is the complete radio and ROM, am i supposed to flash my oem ROM 1st or flash it after the 2.17 radio and ROM (like we do to upgrade thru 3.35 to DCD 3.0.1) ?
- good to know qwest doesn't use IOTA, although i am curious what IOTA actually is
Obviously, anyone's help here is appreciated
well i might be able to come to your rescue again. I believe if u can load a ROM that lets u have access to the extrom, (read and write to it) i have the original content that came in the extrom for qwest. the sprint upgrade rewrites over the qwest stuff and puts in the sprint stuff. i know i have the contents of the extrom for qwest but im gonna look here in my computer because i just might have the iota for qwest. otherwise i dont know why im hanging on to this 1 IOTA in my "qwest phone folder"
ill post the contents in a second post have to upload to rapidshare
ok i hope these work for u;
http://rapidshare.com/files/104457472/QWEST_2.13_extrom.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/104457828/qwest_IOTA.rar
u can use 1.47 radio instead of 1.39, it doesnt matter which radio u use between the 2, 1.47 is better anyways.
u just have to load a rom that allows u to unhide and write to the extrom/ dcd 3.01 and his other version can be done but u have to know how to manipulate it, otherwise DCD roms have the extrom hidden and he removed some reg entries
and stuff so u probably want to use no2chem rom or something/ then dump the qwest2.13 extrom into the extrom and see what happens/ but this is what was in my qwest rom extrom before i cleared it.
good luck
Well , i'm not exactly sure what to do with this information you have given me, but i will root around these forums so more and see if i can't make sense of it.
unless someone else decides to chime in
thanks again, Bunvilla
i came home for lunch and my buddy just bought a qwest mogul/ i loaded the unlocker 240 / next and it is where i think u went wrong is that u need to load the radio 3.35 FIRST then the rom/ cause i next loaded radio 3.35 and then a DCD custom 3.01 Rom with a whoppin 29mbs of memory free after installation/
i was done in 30min/ I did however have to get the SPC code to get into the NAM settings because it changed his MIN to something else/ it took 5min to get spc code and then a few min to correctly add his MIN and the right security format for the data connection/ everything went smooth and i made back to work with almost 10 min left on my lunch hour/
by the way i would get a message saying that" the account was not authorized to call that number" and then quote off some code/ but when i changed the NAM settings back it was good to go
OK I received a brand new xv6800 from Verizon today. Haven't even activated it yet. Wanted to update it first. So i downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and ran it. I get to the boot loader screen and it reads 2.40. Then the directions state disconnect cable and reconnect. I do that and the boot loader shows that it is connected via USB, however I cannot get a new activesync connection unless i restart. But when i restart lose the 2.40 bootloader. and the update errors out. I have tried the titan exitbl file but it cannot find the usb connection.
What am I missing?? Do I need to go the SD card route (dont have one yet)
My bootloader is 1.04
Any help would be appreciated
Don't worry about activesync after you replug it in. Just keep following the instructions. As long as when you plug it back in, it says USB at the bottom, just keep going.
Ok that sort of worked. Now im stuck at the 2.4 bootloader screen Fun stuff
You can run the fix from here.
The same fix is probably posted here too I just don't know where.
Thanks ran that again and it worked so I am back in business. Since you happen to be here any suggestion on which kitchen and radio to install
See this post. It worked for me.
Im working on radio and got it from your link but there is no link in the post to a kitchen i was going to downlod the latest one fromt eh lifesnotgood link which is called "dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2.rar" that should work right?
I have never used DCD. I use ppckitchen.org. You may want to consider just loading a custom ROM first unless you know how to install and use a Kitchen already. Sometimes it is easier to flash a prebuilt custom and get your phone working, then start cooking and flashing your own.
With the ppckitchen you don't have to do carrier cabs, you just select your carrier in the kitchen.
OK i really appreciate all the help and I know i sound like a total noob but went to ppckitchen and everything i see is a kitchen i dont see a full rom, what am i missing
They only have the kitchen to make a ROM. belive DCD has some custom ROMS.
Thanks for all your help all installed and running, now just need to activiate with verizon
'Have a li'l question about updating to Olipro myself...
I could've swore that b4 I'd upgraded to Sprint OEM ROM v3.56.651.0, I could update to Olipro v2.40 via SD. Now, however, I'd had to do so via USB. Am I mistaken? Can you not use the .nbh file in the .exe pkg? I like bein' free of HAVING to use a desktop to accomplish PPC tasks.
Thanks, Everyone.
Just download DCD's 3.2.2 ROM on the 1st page of his post. He has a kitchen AND a ROM.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407376
As for using NueSPL 2.47, DO NOT use it until No2chem has finished his research on downgrading XV6800's.... While it has distinct advantages over olli 2.4, he's not sure about downgrading the bootloader to 1.X versions..... That is if you ever have to take your phone into verizon for service....
Hello,
Just wondering which rom and radio to enable GPS would be the most reliable and compatible with the Telus service.
As well, does anyone know when Telus will release the official rom update? They recently released the one for the Touch , but I haven't come across any info on the P4000 version.
Hi. I am running 3.42 with DCD 3.2.5 and have had great results. DCD's Roms/kitchen are the best so far. I wouldn't hold your breath for Telus to release a ROM update for the P4000.
Choose the ROM/Kitchen that is best for you. There is nothing special about the Telus CDMA network that will cause it to perform differently than others with the available radios and ROMs. To choose, the forum already has most of the info that you are in search for.
...Only Telus knows when and if they choose to release their second update -- the first and only being for original WM 5 Titans to upgrade to one of the earliest WM 6 builds for a Titan in July 2007.

Alright, I was reading that when you flash, sometimes you have to write down the ESN and some numbers incase it gets reprogrammed. If i use these current DCD roms, will I have to mess with that or should it be work once i'm done flashing?
Also is 3.42 the bootloader or the radio? Which radiodo you use?
careful! there are two 3.42 roms. (3.42.02 and 3.42.30). the second one is far better for GPS than the first. Remember, you need to first install the olipro 2.40 unlocker, then run the Sprint 3.56/3.42.02 rom/radio combo (comes in one installer package). Then run the hard spl 1.20 unlocker to install 3.42.30. Once that is done, install the 2.40 olipro again. and you're all set

And it is simple, unspecific instructions like this that cause people to install Sprint Customizations and then moan and ***** about their phone converting to Sprint Service..
Just to clarify for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about...
If you are installing a Sprint ROM on your non-Sprint Titan, RESET the phone before customizations run (it will be like "Running customizations in 3..2...1..." then it will do it, and it will convert your phone's settings to Sprint, which can be a nightmare)
I'm not trying to be a hardass or anything, but I just don't want another person making the same mistake that so many have made for stupid reasons in the past.
Besides, you can install the radio w/o flashing Sprint's firmware, as long as you've never flashed the radio before.

Ahhh whoops, I forgot to mention that :XXXX Thanks for clarifying
check the wiki and do your research, all of this has been covered time and time again and there are lots of quality walkthroughs. read and research untill you are comfortable enough to take your baby under the knife, so to speak.
also, this will give you EVDO-rev a speeds. im in london ontario and have had speed test results over 1300kbs
I am stuck at the bootloader with olipro 1.20. From what I've gathered, I need to flash a non gps rom first and then upgrade to olipro 2.4. If this is right, how can I get a non gps rom so I can flash it and begin the upgrading? Thanks to anyone who can assist me!
Ok, I got a pre gps stock rom installed and running. Going to run the unlocker but my usb connection keeps switching on and off. Im running active sync, but dont want to run the titan unlocker while the usb connection keeps enabling and disabling. What is the best way to go about unlocking and running a custom rom to it?
Got it resolved guys. Ran a stock rom, unlocked, flashed custom rom, updated radio. Thanks to mattsm for walking me through it and ryan mogul for the cricket rom, and of course xda!
I am now running V1.1 Heavy WM 6.1 (Manila 2D)
