Can anyone share their experience upgrading their Bell HTC6800 ROM (including radio, unlocking SPL, and upgrading PRL) with DCD 3.0.1? I have never done it before but curious to hear if anyone has had success or failure.
I noticed that DCD released a Bell ROM in his 2.3.2 kitchen but not in his 3.0.0 kitchen. Does anyone know how to port the correct Bell settings into the 3.0.0 release?
My main reason for upgrading is of course better performance but more importantly I am curious about aGPS and how I can use it instead of my Bluetooth GPS receiver. If anyone can share that would be much appreciated.

Thanks origins81. I noticed now that DCD added the Bell ROM to his 3.0.1. So can you share you experience with this ROM upgrade? Did you have any problems (I assume you've done this before)? Can you share your experience if you are a Bell HTC 6800 user?
1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.
2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.
3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM. (that being the custom rom of your choice)
Think I only used the official Bell rom for about a day before i got sick and tired of it and flashed to one of DCD's clean roms, never looked back since then...
As much as I hate Bell, I purchased this phone, had it for about 7 months and got into flashing roms, well, this newest ROM from DCD was the trickiest. First I tried using the Kitchen (disaster), I finally got it to work, installed it, and I kinda forgot to read the instructions, you have to be SURE to install the Olipro 2.40 first, and flash to the new radio, or it will do one of two things. 1st it will either continuously restart or 2nd thing is it will get stuck on the infamous red, blue, and green screen. However if you do get stuck on this, you can flash the rom again, then install the newest radio and it *should work.
But after all that pain and misery, I got a little better signal (I'm not too sure if this is caused by the new rom or not), the GPS works great as always, and seeing as Bell charges 2 arms and your first child for data, I haven't tried the speeds for Rev. A.
P.S- If you ever need help with your Bell 6800, just ask, I've been troubleshooting the same phone for a couple months, and I know how to use a kitchen, just a PM away.
Thanks guys. You have instilled more confidence in me now. I am just going to make sure I have the original stock ROM from ustar as well as the Titan re-locker just in case (I want a backout plan). I will wait a little longer until everyone irons out the kinks of this new 3.35 radio and I will give the latest DCD ROM a try. Thanks again!
I've used the SPRINT update and it works fine. I've added the quick GPS program that comes with the DCD version and I am going to change the startup logos from Sprint to Bell...(As soon as I figure out how). I didn't need to reprogram anything!!
I just got my phone today, gonna give this a shot...
oh man... i ran the olipro 2.4 file and it took me to the tri color mode and then tried to flash it with the latest sprint update. it went up to 4-5% and then it showed an error of Update Utility. i tried to go bak to the Bell update and it did the samething but this time after 1%. can someone please help me out here? I'm with bell.
ok now i'm stuck at the bell screen and at the bottom it says "No Radio" cuz i tried flashing the dcd file.
Well, to begin with, here are the steps I took to accomplish what I have.
1. Flash Olipro 2.40
2. Flash Radio to 3.35 (For the newest version of DCD's rom)
3. Flash the ROM to DCD's rom.
Now, the first time I did this, I got stuck at the tri-color screen, such a pain. I then tried flashing the rom again, and it rebooted continuously and I had no idea why. This was because I didn't flash to the newest radio. So I did that, and it worked, so try those steps, and good luck.
On problem that I did notice is that my phone always has the roaming triangle on?? Hopefully it's not costing me roaming charges... I was going to try and use the DCD 3.0.1 rom but don't want to chance it. I'm going to try playing with it some more an see what happens.
I'm running DCD 3.0.1 on my Bell 6800 and it's working great so far (day 2)
Follow Origins81's install points above, and remain calm if it takes a try or two to get past the 2.40-olipro unlocker 3-color screen step.
I'm having some issues ActiveSync'ing to both work and home PCs, but I don't think it's related to this ROM.
GPS works great with Google Maps
The alarm clock bug is fixed (e.g. not working when plugged in)
Got it working and everyhthing is great except is doesnt play video in the media player...Working on it.
Well for some reason I can't seem to activate my phone. I hit Talk then I enter ##911224#. It tries to connect for 15 secs then hangs up.
I _thought_ I did everything properly.
1) Ran Olipro2.40 (actually it was the unlock from http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/) it looks like it's got Olipro2.40 in it.
2) ran official upgrade from sprint (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3) Extracted DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe and ran the RUU.
hope I didn't perma-brick it.

Ok fixed it. Browsed around the and found out in a Howard forum that you have to type ##111111# (doh!) before. Ok my heart can start beating again! Posted for posterity. The code that I used must have been for a different area. This phone is from the GTA.
can you give me a link to those howard forum posts because i ran into a problem ... after a last flash my phone works but its not activated... I tryied ##111111# but i get a code check error... ##911224# doesnt do anything... ##778# works but 000000 code doesnt so i cant get in... HELP
Roaming After Update
After suffering with the pesky Bluetooth issues with my HTC, I thought I'd do some searching on the Internet to see if others had the same issues. Lo and behold, it looks like a real bug with the HTC. After reading some forums, it looked like the latest Sprint release would cure the problem. I downloaded an unlock program ("Hard-SPL-MFG") and the Spring update (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship)
and proceeded to update my HTC.
After a few unsuccessful attempts (stuck at the three color bars a couple of times, restarting a few times on it's own) I managed to get the unlock code and Sprint update installed.
The problem I have now is that it appears that I am now roaming even though I'm in my calling area (I'm with Bell Canada)!
Help! What should I do??
Check the bottom link out, had similar issues when I first flashed. If you have any further questions let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363693&highlight=FOR+BELL
i follow the step, but when the phone restart, i stuck a the bell screen...
i'm unable to connect with the usb.
Can you able to help me ? to complete the installation or trying to go back OEM
- i do the first step; see the red, green, blue screen (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093)
- flash the rom

Hi,
I have been having major issues since buying a Vario II on T-Mobile.
I am on my 3rd Vario II handset.
The 1st was returned due to it not returning from standby.
The 2nd had the same issue but also had some keys that did not work.
When the 3rd arrived, it too had the standby issue so I decided to go to mobile 6 with it. It worked well for a few days until I decided to upgrade the radio. Since that I have had nothing but trouble.
I have tried loads of radio stacks 1.24, 1.27, 1.38.10, 1.38.11 and the 1.40.
For some reason the signal stays at (!) most of the time and I had to switch the handset off and on again a few times to get a signal....It is as though it is in flight mode constantly.
The good news is that it no longer has the standby issue.....pity that as a phone it is completly useless!
Before I return the handset I was wanting to flash the original ROM. I spotted that http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
has the UK T-Mobile ROM however I get Error 260: Update Error when trying to install this ROM.
Can anyone help? I love the phone when it works but it seems that I am going to have to get rid of it
Thanks
Aidan
go back and read the wiki some more and look for SSPL...
Most probably you have a >=1.11 based bootloader and are trying to update with a <=1.09 RUU.
Take the NBH from the rom and use RUUwrapper to flash it.
I'm awaiting my 3rd vario II from T-Mobile.
1st- came up with a no gsm error by itself (unrepairable, as spl 1.09 and no KITL)
2nd- screen problems and buzzing noise. Sent this back within a week of receiving it.
I just hope I get another one with no issues and it works...
From the maker
Maybe you can get the original shipped rom from the website of the maker of your phone. Or if T-mobile's website has a forum, you could possibly look there. As an example, HTC is the maker of my phone and they offer the Cingular shipped rom for download. It's worth a try.

Gotta ask, What ROM have you flashed to the device? If you havent tried a newer ROM (the latest HTC rom is good if you dont wanna go WM6) i suggest you give that a go first.
It's very strange what you're having. I mean this is your third and it is not working.
It might be a bad reception you have or software related issues. Many people here have your device and no complains except the ones who bricked their devices while flashing. If I were you I'd do more readings to either help you figure out the problems or go back to original ROM.
Or maybe its a certain app that your installing that is causing the problem.
Any chance of an app list?
S.K.

(A)If you wanna get rid of it..you may send it to me would like to have another one..
I have tried 3 flavours of WM6 ROMS, Live, Black and Duttys. Due to the problems I have had, I have been running them without any other applications.
I tried to flash using RUUWraper.exe. I extracted the NBH for T-Mobile ROM I downloaded from Wiki and placed it in the same folder as the RUUWraper.exe and started to flash it. It got to 13% and then it failed. I ended up flashing Black 2.0 again to recover it.
I also noticed in Wiki that there is a procedure for reseting the radio stack. I have tried to do as it suggests, using MTTY.exe and using the following instructions
password 0000000000000000
set 1e 1
erase a0040000 c80000
erase a0cc0000 c80000
erase a1940000 640000
set 1e 0
However, my device does not like the password string and complains that it is the incorrect password.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Flash original rom and exchange this phone, it's a faulty unit.
Be extremely careful when flashing radio.
Unit is in being repaired.
Why do you say be careful when upgrading the radio? Is it possible to break the radio?
Thanks

anything can be broken... but it just so happens the radio can cause catastrophe if it fails
Just got done with a Cingular Rep with the same issue (radio going dead all the time) Turns out its an issue with the SIM card wigging around in the phone. The test I tried was this:
1) reboot phone after removing batt and SIM
2) LEAVE PHONE on table. Do not move it.
3) test phone for a while send/receive txt msgs phone calls
4) pick phone. Move it around. Rotate it in all directions move it up and down.
5) retest connectibity.
6)if it busts remove batt and see how easily the SIM moves around in the socket.
Hello everyone!
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8125 (G4 version) to WM6 Farias edition. I've also installed the radio rom version 02.61.11 but noticed that at times call do not come in and when voicemails are left i do not get a notification. Dont know if its due to the radio version i'm running so i decided to ask the rest of Cingular 8125 users to see if they have a radio rom that may be more stable.
I also noticed that GRPS disconnects when a call comes in and it re-connects when the call its released. I've heard of certain radio roms that actually stay connected while the phone its been used... anyone knows which one will that be?
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile 2.19 radio is the one that most use to alleviate missed calls/voicemails. The newer ones have benefits to signal aquisition and signal strength over this and stock radios, but what good does that do you if the calls and voicemails dont come through
There are some on Cingular in the US that have radios above 2.19 working with no issues but they seem to be few and far between.
I have also not had any issues at all with the 2.61 radio with Faria's rom in my signature. How well it works with other roms I don't know as I haven't flashed my wizard since I flashed that combination on it. My wife uses it now and has had no call issues.
Thanks Zzan!
I downloaded the tmobile 02.19.11 radio and tried to flash my phone with it but got the following error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I've gotten several replies from other Cingular 8125 users who like you have told me it'll fix my sms/voicemail problem.
I just tried installing Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip and i got the same error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I'm loving WM6 but the fact that some calls dont come in and I have to continously keep checking my voicemails to see if new vm came in pretty much sucks.... I'm considering going back to the stock rom since i cant get neither radio version to work on my phone...

Have you tried running it from more than one computer? I have seen where this works for some people. Also try a soft reset of the phone and a reboot of the pc before attempting. If that doesn't work you can try booting straight to the bootloader then kicking off the install once you see USB in the corner. In any case you should be fine on WM6 if you can get the 2.19 radio to flash.
I just tried another PC here at work. I installed MS Activesinc 4.5 and tried flashing it with 2.19.11 but same error message.
I'll continue to try and post any progress (if any) LOL
I"m going to try reseting the phone and restarting the pc now.
Thanks for helping me out giving other suggestions.

Done deal!!!
Finally got it to Flash using the Tmobile UK 02.19.11 version.
I replaced the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe with the one included in the WM6 Faria Step 4 folder.
Ran the update utility and it flashed the phone without a problem.
Time to test it but i've gotten several replies stating that it should be a lot more stable than the one i had.
Thanks again and hope the info above could help other users having the same problem.
brother.... So i have the same issue with my 8125 ..G4 with wm6...missed call and no notification for voicemail...
tried radio 2.69 farias ..still no use...
Have u been able to resolve it? please help me...Let me install the Tmobile UK 2.19 radio now....
please advice.....
Appologize for posting the thread twice... I wasn't sure if this goes to the Hermes or the Herald forum...
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental

ok ur going all over the map here.. did u hardspl first? also pvet 40005 isnt a hermes rom.. um try hardspl first THEN flash to a new rom maybe once you successfully do that then try a new 3.62 rom.. i run austinsync buts its naked..just like i like my women. ha. but if ur looking for a full blown try fun_key's rom or blinkys.. these arent carrier dependent
hey man jakeypoo, Thanks for your reply. I kinda figured that I was all over the map.
Okay first appologize my ignorance. What is a HardSPL? I did a search on this forum and I found Hard-SPL-V7.zip. Is this a good version to use? Also when I run the exe, All options are grayed out except for "Force Using SSPL" and "Is it Hard-SPL". What do I select.
Thanks!
Hardspl v7 is the latest version out there, its the one for you to use so that you're safe from future mishaps.
I also have an 8525 on T-mobile... so no worries.
Hope this helps.

still problems (no gsm)
Thanks whistler4ever. That link was really a great help.
Here's what I did...
1. Installed the Hard SPL version 6
2. Installed the latest ATT ROM (ver 3.62 radio: 1.54) I had to do this because the radio on the phone was corrupt (says "no GSM" on the start screen) and couldn't install just the radio rom. kept giving connection errors.
3. Installed Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57 hoping this would get ride of the ATT ROM and my intial problem (no GSM) will go away.
Everything was fine for like 15 mins, then my phone just froze. I reboot the phone and sure enough the radio ROM was gone (no gsm). ;(
Running out of ideas.
1. Could this problem be because I'm using a TMobile SIM on a ATT's radio ROM?
2. Is the radio ROM specific to the phone type and provider(ATT, TMO..)? Is there a generic WM 6 radio rom? If yes, where can I find the latest version?
3. Any bright ideas?
Thanks again!

I was able to flash just the radio ROM - version 1.51. But again after a few hours the Radio got currupted. I also tried to follow the instruction ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5 ) to use the mtty.exe utility, but I don't get a USB prompt. I get Cmd prompt and if I still enter the password, it says invalid password. please help!!!
And how do I do the USB monitor capture? I could post more details that way. I'm using my girl friend's old razr now and it's painful!
I have used my t-mobile sim on AT&T rom's and other roms with no problem. I would try going back to a factory rom and then changing back to a cooked rom just to confirm its all a clean install. also, try downgrading your radio to a 1.47 or 1.48 (those have been proved pretty reliable across many cell providers).
Thanks Whistler. I'm going to start with the 1.48 version and if that doesn't work I'll try the 1.47 version. Not giving up on this.
I found 1.47 to work very well with t-mobile even when traveling...
Thanks Galaxys. I just installed the 1.47 radio. I have fully signal and the 'E', but I can't receive or make calls.
It almost looks like my TMO SIM is not compatible with the 8525. It always works for the first few minutes after an install and then stops working.
I'm very certain the phone is in good condition.
Should I try an older radio version.. like a 1.24 or something ?
Can I install just the tmobile radio rom?
I'm also going to install TNT 2.0 pro so I have the exact same set up as you and see if that makes a difference.
no luck!!!
wow... after all this time and effort still no luck. There's got to be something very basic that I'm not doing right. Senior members any help???

Sounds like your doing everything right, because your flashed rom, radio, and Edge network are all functional. Since only the GSM calls don't work, I would go back to Tmobile and get a a new Sim card installed (they should do this for nothing & test it while at the store).
Also, if U got this device on ebay your IMEI could be blocked. see this thread:

Hi Galaxys,
I don't think the IMEI is blocked. Or maybe it is, how do I find out? I don't have any of the symptons listed on the link you sent (don't hear the beeps or anything).
I originally had a T-Mobile wing. The LCD screen cracked (don't know how). And ofcourse TMo won't replace it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335346
I got 8525 from my company. It's almost new. Only used for a day on an AT&T SIM. This phone is free, and so I really don't have much to lose... so all out experimenting
Tried insalling from the micro card, even that stops while installing GSM. pissed!!! Why would the darn Radio not update???
this may sound stupid but if all else fails, why not...
my mda use to have signal then it would just disappear as well after 15 min or less..
turns out the sim card wasnt pressed in properly.. so i just put a piece of paper on top of the sim card to make it thicker and get the battery to press it down harder. and it solved all my problems...
just a suggestion..good luck

See this post here for a possible reason (and technical explanation/theory) for your device stalling during radio update. The fix suggestions at the bottom of the page may help you - in particular :
Try cooling the device down a bit before flashing as the PIC chip (where your radio ROM is held) may flash more reliably/easier when cool. Don't ask why - that's from it's datasheet ;-)
The paper on the SIM card is a good idea too to rule out dodgy SIM connection - Great idea r0mmel
received a sprint 6800 yesterday.
installed titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
kitchen installed 100%.
after reboot, stuck on sprint logo screen.
attempted soft and hard resets as well as taking the battery out.
phone not recognized by activesync.
looking for some help.
you need to upgrade the radio if all you did was unlock the phone and flash the rom its going to stay stuck at the boot screen until you upgrade to the 3.27 radio
I wish I had a nickle for everytime I saw this "bricked" complaint.
for anyone else out there reading this, please take this as a lesson. Read before you do anything. 3.27 Radio is required and it says that everywhere.
Do not flash your phone if you have not read everything about how to do it.
i'm a noob.
thanks.

I have US Cellular also. Read the thread on how to unlock you phone. You will need to update your radio also. DCD 4.1.2 is the one I run and it is very good.
Start by going here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Or this post is more orientated to USCC
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24511&highlight=uscc
Howdy,it's a breeze, just a bit scary at first but well worth it. Holla out if you need some step by step. 1. get good unlocker, 2. update radio to the latest dcd's offered. 3. upload carrier (uscc, right!) it will say cellsouth but dont worry, its just a name we can fix later, then load dcd's 4.1.2 rom. Set your GPS com to 4 and baud to 4800, dont let window automatically manage, too slow.
I was wondering how your coming with all the reading. I just ran accross your post and reminds me of doing this to my uscc titan last weekend. Always write ALL of your information from EPSt (##778 send) save it as a text on your computer, easy access....If you lose any info, I've got it here on mine. Let me know how it goes, really hard to mess up, dont worry....KC

Hi friends ..
I have a problem hopefully can help me, is the following.
I have a 6800 Titan U.S. Cellular and try to upgrade the ROM DCD 3.2.6 but made the mistake to put the ROM in the SPL 1.07.000 or blocked. When completed the installation of the ROM, my phone restart but it did not run the windows just stays on a black screen that says HTC Smart Mobility and no more progress is just there. in the bootloader (3 colored screen) shows that the SPL is 1.07.0000 and even more I've tried the stick olipro 2.40 to unlock the SPL and will not let me.
When you start appearing in small red letters that said R 1.64.00, D 3.2.6
Please help me no longer do that, I think it broke. !

Try updating it via the micro sd card. I believe this happened to me once and that is what I had to do. Just follow the instructions in one of the previous links.
And the radio is to old for that rom.

when told by the method of the microsd card, refer to NueSPL 2.47? because if so, for that is required to synchronize the phone with active sync so to put the exe in any folder of NueSPL and then format the card in fat32. The problem is that my phone can not synch with the active zync, that otherwise can have a flash card 2GB believe that this affects the flasheo through titaimg.nbh because all that I have just run is the gray screen with the legend that says "Loading ..."
I too have a USCC 6800 with 2.17.557.0 and 1.64.00 on it. I am new to the whole phone flashing scene, and have spent literally all day today on these forums searching and reading. Did you get yours working, and if so, what did you end up using? The main things I am looking for are GPS support and windows mobile 6.1 instead of 6.0, if that is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Would the upgrade for the Alltell/Sprint versions of the 6800 on the HTC site work with the USCC version? From what I can tell they are the exact same handset, just with different software features by their respective service provider.
i just put wm6.5 on my phone, its running...OK but too slow, I'm gonna go back to dcd 3.3.4 or maybe try a different one.
I am still hesitant of changing anything with mine. I guess I am too afraid of choosing the wrong thing and bricking it. I think I have a pretty good handle on how to do it, but not so much on the various files. If anyone has a good (tested) setup, please share the links to the various files.
Just wondering, are any of you who are having problems with flashing from the Kenosha, Racine, or Milwaukee Area of WI?
If so, I may be able to help you. I go to school in downtown Milwaukee and have flashed USCC roms on my phone many times before. I could unlock your phones and flash them for you as long as you payed me for the time to do so.
Thanks
Dave
