I just know I am about to brick this thing and kill myself, but here is my understanding:
1. Use latest Olipro unlocker (2.40);
2. Use PPCKitchen to build WM6.1 and GPS ROM with the modules/etc. that I want - choose Alltel in the service provider dropdown box in the top right hand corner.
3. Build the ROM and choose the "upload rom to device" option.
I am sure this is already wrong, but here are my other questions:
None of the special code entries work. Things like ##<msl>#, ##778#, etc., so I can't find all my data settings and MSID. The information I have read says to enter these codes and nothing more. When I enter them, I am just staring at my dialer screen with that code typed in and nothing happens. Pressing send does nothing but try and call that number and there isn't an "Edit" or "View" button to press or anything of that sort. I can't find a walkthrough on how to enter those codes.
I just would love a lean install of wm6.1 with GPS enabled and some of the popular mods that will work with Alltel. I haven't found any good walkthroughs for Alltel users here or at PPCGeeks.
If anyone has any advice for a way to do this safely, let me know. You could even message me on AIM at Lucificate if I could pick your brain a bit. If this doesn't start making a whole lot more sense real quick, I will just learn to live with the default software my phone came with until HTC releases an official Alltel upgrade with 6.1 and GPS =)
First off to get to the settings its
##778 Talk.
then 000000 <6 zeros is the code
then yes looks like you have an idea..
Good luck.

Having same problem with Sprint Mogul using DCD rom with verizon settings. With the new rom the ## msl # comman does nothing. I reverted back to the unofficial sprint rom and it works again. The DCD rom looks much better, anybody got any ideas?
I'm on Verizon and my codes haven't worked for a long long time. The simplest thing is to go into your windows folder find the file called epst.ink and copy it to your start menu/program folder. Then whenever you need inot those setting you just go to your programs and select it.

You also need the updated GPS radio to run a GPS rom!

At what point do you insert this step? I thought the kitchen included all the components for he flash. All I have found is some Sprint radio upgrade, not sure if I can just throw that onto the Alltel phone.
You can get the code using a program called getspc (search xda forums for it).
just after you install olipro 2.4, you flash to the sprint 3.35 (this will install the new radio) rom but do not allow the device to configure (do not tap screen when it asks you to), then immediately flash to dcd's rom.
I have a qwest mogul and using this procedure preserved all the information on the phone for Qwest (I didn't have to use the information I copied), but be sure to write them down just in case. Also, you may want to find the exit bootloader program, just in case your phone gets stuck in bootloader mode (I needed it).

Unless something has changed the kitchen does not include the radio. The safest way to get the radio installed is to flash the Sprint rom but don't allow the customizations to run unless you're a Sprint customer. Then you flash your custom rom for the specific carrier you're on. I'm on Alltel also and the Sprint rom will work fine to get the radio installed.
Be forewarned, though, that once you upgrade to the 3.35 radio, it might be tricky to flash to the stock Alltel rom once it is available. Some have had success relocking then reflashing and some have bricked multiple phones in the process. Apparently, downgrading a radio is much more taxing on the phone than upgrading the radio.

I was having the same problems. be sure that you are using the WMdrivers and the QPST for the titan. I tried using the one for the 6700 and it would not read the phone. PM if you cannot locate it. I think I have it saved somewhere???

The problem is in ROM version.
With DCD 3.2.5 QPST works, with 3.3.4 it does not.
I don't know if 3.2.6 is OK.
wanted to fix cellsouth banner w/3.2.6.. wouldn't stay that way would it from .5 to .6??
Once you fix the carrier banner, reflashing the rom should not mess it up again, it's caused by when you flash your radio the first time. Once QPST and EPST has been fixed, any future updates to radio or rom tho should not bother it.
I actually could never get QPST to work with any DCD 3.2.x rom, I always flash back to 3.1.2 make the change, and then flash back forward to his latest.

FIXED.
Ok, I tried the specific TITAN WM drivers, and still did not see the phone in QPST. So I did an SPB Backup, hit a stock 3.1.2, read fine, made changes, put back the same kitchen'ed rom I had to 3.2.6, and restored, and couldn't be happier.. unless of course USCC went 3G in my area so I had some bandwidth!
Thanks for your inputs!
MetalHd
So you are wil Cellular South? What are you running on your 6800? I want to upgrade mine but have been sceptical that it may not work on our network.
If possible I would like to know what steps you took; did you have to upgrade your radio prior to unlocking and upgrading?
Thanks

Nope, I am US Cellular on the coast of Maine. PPC 6800 with a dcd 3.2.6 kitchened rom. 25 megs free at fresh boot with one oxios. 16 gig microsdhc. Just had to change the CellSouth banner that is generated from the radio upgrade back to US Cellular. Seems odd to see US Cellular though, cuz I looked at CellSouth for 6 months before I fixed it.

What is the version of your QPST
hello i have a htc touch pro of us cellular
and i ont know how to enable tha funtion ##3424# please help
thanks
Tried and Tried and Searched and Searched, and finally ive gotten to the point of giving up, figured i would take a week or so break and try this again. I have tried everything to get qpst working, i have the 6800 Titan (Qwest) Fully flashed to cricket, Im having issues with the Cricket Internet working on the phone, it keeps saying its not on my plan but i know it is. shows up on my bill and im paying for it.. Figured i could call and have them refresh the phone ( assuming the same thing that *228 does ), but the SPC isnt back to 000000 or 333333, its still the original one from Qwest (which i do have ), but somehow i need to get back to 6 0's so i can have cricket update the phone. pix mail works though, and i figure that uses the data connection so web should work as well correct?
Thanks in advance
what are you doing to try qpst? Are you putting the phone in dmrouter?
i am trying to get the SPC number, its not 000000 or 333333 so i cant get in and change the settings over to cricket. its driving me nuts, got a step by step tutorial on it? im about to lose my mind with this thing. the 6800 was no problem, but this one for some unknown reason i cant seem to get. this ones a qwest 6700
here's whats up... first of all... I want to thank everyone here for their amazing info and files. these last few days have been a real eye opener for me to look and learn new things. that being said....
I have a uscc 6800. I upgraded to nue spl 2.47 then to radio 3.42.5 then went to dcd 3.3.4 as i had read it was stable and opperating well. I think thats where i goofed. I allowed it to set up its own settings then I ran the uscc carrier cab.
I have no internet. my #777 says I need a valad password and username but had never had one before. my fiance's phone doesnt need one... (I'm not touching hers at this point in time)
any thing... any help.... any hints tips etc. PLZ
ok. i think i get it now.
here is the biggest issue I have.... I have checked epst and it appears to all be the same. was there some step I missed... is there some fix I'm not finding or am I just screwed?
With USCC I have always found it best to use QPST to backup and restore the phone's programming before/after flashing. Then there is only 1 thing that has to be edited in EPST when it's all said and done.
What kind of phone is your GF's? The same model?
If so you can use QPST to read her phone's programming and update the MSID/Phone # info and write it to your phone and it should work.
QPST info is not the same as EPST info, they do have some cross over but both also contain unique info and when you upgrade to a v3.x radio, it trashed alot of the settings in QPST, which is why it's best to back it up first.
BTC
This sounds like something I've done in the past, but not with USCC. I had flashed a dcd ROM and then installed a carrier cab, but it continued to ask for a valid username or password. There are a couple of things you can do. First, do a hard reset of the device, then install your carrier cab. AS SOON AS installation completes, soft reset the device. If your connection is still not working, go to Settings>Connections>Connections and try to configure or set up a new modem connection. You will have to enter in the username and password for USCC internet. This information can easily be found in EPST also.
thanks for the help guys
I appreciate every thing u guys suggested but had failed to report back that I had fixed it... infact my gf's phone was the same and I did go back and compare the two epst's and had found that a 2 had changed to a 1. changed that back and got my svcs back. I have however been looking for the qpst that everyone is speaking of but am at a loss as to where it is... any help?
QPST is available on the internets, somewhere. Do a Google search, I doubt it'd be safe for anyone to actually post that file on here. But you'll need to put the device in diagnostics mode to use QPST and also will need the modem drivers.
I'm sure if you search the XDA forums you'll find something
Here is a quick tutorial for Verizon customers who receive phones with MR1 or MR2 so they may enable aGPS functionality with custom roms. Users who try to update Radio and ROM directly from MR1/2 will not have aGPS functionality and will need to roll back to stock 6.0 rom then reload radio and custom rom.
Thanks to GC's aGPS tutorial, MrTek and drewcam888.
1 - Use Nue's Re-locker to set bootloader to SPL 2.07
2 - Use a SDcard to flash back to Stock VZW 6.0 rom
3 - Use nueSPL-2.47 to update bootloader
4 - Use SDcard to flash latest Titan Radio
5 - Use SDcard/RUU to load your choice of custom ROM
6 - Use QPST to set aGPS ip settings in config (use GC tutorial)
7 - install the aGPS.cab
8 - Possible need to call VZW to reset Akey
9 - Phone is fully functional, with aGPS working correctly
Does anyone have the aGPS.cab that they can upload to rapideshare, megaupload, or the like? The link keeps timing out for me.

Actually, what might be a good recommendation is to Do the unlock, and Flash BEFORE you switch to the refurb phone.
When you receive your refurb, you dial #228 on the refurb phone, and choose option #3. This walks you through moving your service to this new phone.
During the process, a new A key is also set I believe, so if you unlock and flash before you do the process you won't need to call VZW for the aKey.
Man, i have tried this tutorial step-by-step about 3 times, and still no working GPS.
i relocked, downgraded to stock VZW rom, unlocked to 2.47, upgraded to 3.42.50 radio, upgraded to Titan Reloaded 1.42b Rom, tried QPST settings for both verizon (installed GC aGPS cab), and telus (telus cab), and still no GPS. I only have Google Maps installed, but it just sits there on "seeking satellites". location is "on", program port is "com 4", hardware port is "none", baud is "4800", manage automatically is set, and "managed by windows" is set in Google maps. I never get any satellites using either verizon or telus settings.
Can anyone help!?

I downloaded GPSViewer and hit "Open GPS". I see lots of characters scrolling through...
SGPG.. codes. When i click on the GPS Status tab, every once in awhile some red circles w/ numbers pop up for a sec and then are gone.
After waiting a few minutes, I sometimes get a red circle that stays on the globe, but they never stay long term. Like it's detecting these satellites, but never actually locks on. How do you know when you get an actual lock?

good job! when you get a lock the numbers and little red circles will turn blue. do this right after a fresh soft reset. it seems to work better after soft reset. your gps is working, it just needs to get a lock.
Hi,
I would like to try out one of dcd's roms.
At the top of this link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=dcdtitanroms
there is another link to dcd's roms but all of them are contained in an exe that use a USB method to flash. Is there a way to extract the rom from the exe so I can use the SDcard method mentioned above? (or can dcd roms be found ready for the SDcard somewhere?)
---------------------
EDIT:
From the first post:
" 5 - Use SDcard/RUU to load your choice of custom ROM "
I see now that an "RUU" is an exe that gets the rom over to the phone, so i don't need an SDcard for step 5 with dcd's roms. But you like you can extract the nbh from the exe using winrar.
---------------------
I am trying to unlock my gps and have found lots of nice builds but i am confused as to which provider rom i should use. dcd's build looks the best to me. from what i have read about what i want to accomplish.

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

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.

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

Hi all
I've had a search through the re-developed ROM's and to be perfectly open, I don't understand much about them.
I recently had a plain HTC HD2 and very happy with it for what I use it for, I don't need any fancy add on's and bits etc, just my Co-pilot and keeping my contacts and notes upto date.
That handset was lost and the insurance didn't have any HD2 replacements in stock. The Desire they sent instead has been sold, and I've purchased a T Mobile version of another HD2.
Is it a simple case of downloading and installing the official HTC ROM for the handset and doing a ROM update?
Apologies if this is a simple query etc!
Cheers, Dennis!
no, no no nonono.
assuming you mean a tmobile us model (1024 rom, green send key) then no, if you flash a non tmous stock rom (any stock rom that isn't for the tmous) onto that phone it will die. brick. dead, because of the ..51.. radio they include.
You may get some cooked roms that are on a base of lower than 2.x, but have been tweaked for the 576ram , and they will work on your phone, but its a very risky game to play.
Far better to follow the two rules..,
only ever flash tmous stock roms,
and
cooked roms that SPECIFICALLY say tmous compatible in the title and post 1 of that roms thread..
Hiya
Samsamuel, thanks for the info there. I'll update with more information! I'm technical, but not with smartphones to the level some of you guys here!
I'm in the UK, and it's a UK TMobile handset that I bought. I've already had the handset 'unlocked' so that I can use my O2 SIM, which is working etc.
From the handset
OS Version - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version - 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date - 04/02/10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version - 15.32.50.07U
So, would it be ok to update to the normal HTC ROM?
Cheers, Dennis!
Ah ok in that case there is no need to mention that it is a t mobile phone, just confuses the issue.
Yes the regular update will work fine once happy is applied.
Thanks once again SamSamuel,
However, what's meant by 'once happy is applied' ?
Is that one of these hacks or special ROM things?
When I do a search, so many results come back containing the word 'happy' I have no idea where or what to look for!
Is there a thread which explains how to apply 'happy'?
Apologies for the vagueness!!

To me, anything that's typed up 'could' potentially be what I need to do! I wouldn't know the difference!!
So, I've had a search for HSPL - I see it mentioned, but alas, I have no clue what it is, where to get it from, what to do with it when I get it!
Is there any straightforward points on what and where to get this HSPL, how to use it ?
I know I can download the HTC official ROM from their website, so that part I think I know what to do as I upgraded my last HD2.
Cheers, Dennis!
ok, hspl. Get HSPL2_RUN.zip from HERE, (you can follow instructions that say hspl or hspl3, theyre all the same, except for what phones they support, , hspl2 is teh most usefull for regular hd2 owners)
phone into bootloader and connect usb, (when you read 'get an active sync connection', , forget that, it doesnt mean actual active sync, just a usb connection)
get hspl2, run it, in the dropdown is a list of spl and hspl versions. if it ends .0000 its stock, if it ends .hspl its,,,,,, hspl.
choose 2.08.hspl, follow the prompts. if it doesnt work, run the hspl prog again, if it still doesnt work (timeout/connection errors) change usb ports and try again. no need to touch teh phone, just leave it in bootloader all the time.
once bootloader says spl 2.08.hspl you are good to go.
BUT
if you are planning to flash the 3.14 rom, , , you can't do it this way.
3.14 wont work on any spl/hspl except 3.03.0000 and there is no way to get 3.03.0000 except goldcard.
Hiya
Samsamuel - seems you're the only one willing to help me here! so I really appreciate it !
I know i've got to do 'things' from what you've said there, but I have no idea on how to do it! - give me some financial IT related stuff I'm good! ask me to do bootloaders and potential goldcard and run files and connect - I'm lost! I don't want to try things in case I 'brick' the handset!
The ROM I want is listed on the HTC downloads section for the HD2. It's dated 25th January 2010
Details are
ROM Version:
Norway:1.66.409.1, Spain :1.66.412.1, Denmark:1.66.403.1, France :1.66.406.1,
Sweden:1.66.413.2, Italy:1.66.408.1, WWE:1.66.405.2, France Bouygues: 1.66.483.0
So, if I somehow manage to do this HSPL thing, will I not be able to install the HTC ROM? I have no idea where or what the '3.14' ROM is?
Apologies for sounding really vague - I've never got into all the modified ROM's and stuff for smartphones. I've only ever needed to switch on, use the phone, install my GPS software and keep my contacts and notes syncronised. I'm just used to the HD2 I had as it was a case of straightforward use. This T mobile version is 'different'!
Anyone else able to help alongside everything SamSamuel has kindly provided so far? please?!!
Cheers, Dennis!
warning
Its best for you if you do not try to update your phone. Either get used to it or just sell it. There are rom update tutorials on this site. Just search for rom update tutorial, if you must try. The official htc software is not for this phone, if you install it, your phone will no longer work, and you wont be able to fix it.
No, its ok so long as you have a regular hd2 locked to t mobile as discussed in earlier posts.
Just to double confirm, if your phone has green send key,then STOP DANGER
But I think we're dealing with white send key, so normal hd2, and the target Tom isn't 3.14
So,,,
assuming white end key.
Phone backed up and off
Press hold keep holding volume down
Tap and release power keep holding volume down
When striped coloured screen appears
Plug in USB
On PC run hspl2
In dropdown choose 2.08.hspl
When it completes and phone starts to reboot immediately hold volume down again to return to stripey screen (bootloader)
When says USB at the bottom and split at top says 2.08.hspl run the .exe you downloaded from HTC
If you get connection errors, timeouts, leave the phone and just swap USB ports. When running hspl.exe right click it and "run as administrator"
(That's the last time I'm gonna write those out in full, there must be 500 identical step by steps and half as many YouTube vids. )
If your send key is green DO NOT DO THIS
