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

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

I had the same problem as you man, except with verizon wireless. If you've followed all the steps (i.e flashed to stock, and then flashed the new radio without letting customizations run) then there's only one thing left to do which fixed my problem. Call up Telus and have someone remove your Data feature, and to put on Pay per KB/MB. It should THEN work, because the DMU is now reset. So after it's removed, give it a whirl to google.com or whatever. Hang up, and call back. Ask them to add the data plan again. Data should now work for you
Let me know if the problem persists!
I'll call Telus in the next few days and try to make my way to a DMU reset. I'll post the results once it's done.
FIXED, and WITHOUT getting my DMU reset. I simply installed that rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364157
with radio 3.27, and data worked. This was the first time since the Sprint customization that I could get data working on a non-stock rom. I then proceeded to install a newer radio and the latest dcd. Works like a charm
Told you guys a DMU reset didn't make sense since data was working with the stock rom!

Hi all.
with the 6800-
I flash nexvisions rom and the new radio. After reading ppcgeeks tutorial, I thought I needed to run IOTA.cab to get my data settings even though I'm on Verizon. Well, after doing a *228 and calling verizion to get my calls to go though, my data is now screwing up.
The problem is- when I run internet explorer (with google mobile as my homepage) it chokes after about 50 K downloaded and wont finish. The data connection is lousy. If I try to close out my data connection using the connection manager it comes up with a warning about IOTA data errors.
Now I know that vzw users do not need IOTA. Is there a way to reset what IOTA does to your data connection settings without doing a hard reset? I can't find a 'unintstall' IOTA.cab anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cook ROM as Verizon, not Sprint?
Maybe just run the ROM again
I can not think of a good way to get it all out but maybe someone has an idea. I am on VZW and it worked perfectly.
You should reflash.
Perhaps you shouldn't use Nexvision's ROM since it obviously has Sprint "parts" in it that seem to be interfering.
Here is what worked and is still working very well for me. I have no data or voice issues at all right now:
Geckotek said:
In fact, all is well.
I flashed back to the stock VZW ROM (third time I think), I made sure all of my provisioning issues with Verizon were worked out (finally had the tech "kick the switch").
1) Then I proceeded to load the 2.4 bootloader,
2) then the 3.16 Unauthorized Sprint ROM w/ radio,
3) then finally installed a cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
Things to note:
1) I never let the Sprint ROM boot up (this is VERY important!!)
2) I had no signal so ran *22802 then hit End as soon as it connected
3) Still no signal after reboot
4) No A key, MSID, or MDN issues, but I did re-enter the MSID and MDN as discussed in other threads
5) After re-entering MSID and MDN then after reboot I had signal (even though they are there and correct, type re-enter the information anyway)
6) never had to run *228 to OTA program (in the past programming with *228 has reversed the effect of re-entering the MSID and MDN)
In general, I feel that the OTA from VZW sends down some programming that conflicts with the 3.27 radio...but I have nothing to prove that.
GPS is running great (I just loaded the AstroGPSLauncher)
Not sure about Rev A. It does seem snappy. What's a good site to test from the phone?
I'm happy and not re-flashing until a solid radio for Verizon arrives.

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

If that doesn't work, you should do like I did and start with a clean slate. All the reflashing of ROMs and radios did me no good. Whatever issues I had were not going away with just another flash from one ROM to another.
Hard resetting fix everything.
I'm just curious, but after flashing the newest sprint rom and radio, I noticed that everytime I do a soft reset, I automatically get the roam triangle. This stays on for about 10 minutes till it goes to EVDO, or 10X. I am currently using the newest DCD 3.2.0 Rom, for Sprint, and there is no difference. Does anyone know how to prevent this from going into Roam mode when you do a soft reset?
Hopefully this hasn't been answered, and I missed it. If it has, I appologize. Thanks in advance.

Do you know what version of the PRL you're using? It shows up as "PRL version" under Start->Settings->System->Device Information. Someone along the line you might have ended up with an outdated one. 60613 is the latest for Sprint EVDO-capable phones.

I can confirm that with 3.2.0 (yes...I've finally moved on from my own kitchen based from Sprint's 3.35.xxx.... ) a soft-reset consistently reverts back to Standard for the Phonerefered Serving System. Over a soft-reset it should retain the choice of Home Only.
In the registry under HKLM\Software\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting what can I set to retain Home Only but retain the option to switch back to Standard when travelling?
This is an issue for me since I live by the water and the US is just across a straight leaving my phone often switching between my local and a US carrier.

we probably need the previous version initprov.dll. i will look tonight. thanks for finding this
You're welcome, DCD.. Thank you!
This afternoon I may also have a chance to build a new ROM with a familiar initprov.dll and see if that resolves it.
With 3.2.0 on my Titan I just replaced the initprov.dll (v1.25.0.0) with the v1.21.0.0 (from the March Sprint release and what I was first using in my kitchen), rebooted, but still faced the problem of the phone defaulting back to Standard rather than retain Home Only.
That was without rebuilding a ROM with the older initprov version in.
...to note, the April Alltel ROM was also using this latest v1.25.0.0.

Certain dll's are self registering and some aren't. It's probably going to take a little more than just a copy/paste.

Worth a shot.. Can't rebuild until I get home......
I realize now that it is related to the radio rom. Originally I installed the NEW factory firmware/rom upgrade. Well that was when it started. So thinking it was a factory rom issue, I installed DCD 3.2.0. Still doing it. So I decided to downgrade back to 3.1.6 which was what I WAS using before the upgrade.. Still doing it. So.. .It has to be the newest radio rom. I am going to downgrade the radio back to what I had and see if that fixes it.

That's not necessarily true. It could have been something that was installed during the 3.56 factory customizations. Try flashing Sprint 3.35 stock rom/radio, let the customizations run. Then flash 3.2.0 and 3.42.02 or 3.42.30. If you're going to use the 3.56 stock rom/radio to flash 3.42.02, that's ok, just DON'T let the customizations run this time.
that was the issue with mine I ran the sighned sprint cab from the extended rom from the 3.56 "official" rom that was part of no2chems pre 2.2 after i did that my phone was stuck in roaming... Thinking it was the radio i downgraded 1 step @ a time from the 3.42.03 back to 3.39 still roaming went back to the stock radio that came with the 3.35 release still roaming when phone was booted. Figured it might be rom related @ that point so i reflashed to good ole 5069k left battery out after flash for 2 min... first boot it was roaming and would not lock onto a tower in sprint only mode... my muerom boot agent always runs the sprint carrier settings 4 me and on my second boot still no sprint signal only digital roam.. In a last ditch effort I reflashed via activesync the whole 3.35 stock rom/radio ... and wala all was fixed booted right up and even b4 the sprint custimization was started i had the evdo icon and no roaming triangle. Leaving the 3.35 stock rom on there i went forward 1 step @ a time radio wise and even with 3.39 and 3.42.02 i still got sprint coverage and evdo icon and connection. so i re-flashed to the nue 2.2 preview let it do tis sprint thing on first boot. then i did not go in and eun anything from the extended rom. No more roaming triangle. Something in the 3.56 exended rom i ran (sprint sighned whatever) Changed something in epst that dod not get reset even with flashes and hard resets till i relfashed back to stock 3.35 relaease full with radio from activesync.
So my suggestion would be that u can run the newer radio and roms just be sure to let your carrier settings run but don't touch files in the extended rom esp the file mentioned bc it stuck me in roaming and it would not get a sprint signal (home) for anything even after just letting it sit. and when setting roaming option to sprint only I would not get any bars @ all just the animated dots nest to the signal icon.
So it can't be anything in the new rom or settings in the new rom that is doing it nor the radio bc when downgrading back to stock radio from march update it did the same thing.
To fix your going to need to do a fill rom/radio flash then just pick your fav flavors after its flashed and has booted up the second time.
Boy, am I glad y'all started a thread on this. I've been trying to figure out what was wrong since this came out. My first flash of the new rom caused mine to be stuck in roaming, and sometimes it won't even come out.
I'll try what you guys suggested.
Customizations = Extended Rom
That's exactly what I said.
Ok, things a little different now. I reflashed back to the stock 3.35 Rom and let customizations run.
Then flashed just the new radio 3.42.30 from SD card
Last I flashed just the dcd 3.2.0 ROM and the carrier cab, and now no more roaming after the soft reset.
So, maybe the problem is in that radio included with the new 3.56 ROM
As long as I got it working, I'm happy

Again, it's not the radio. It's in the customizations from 3.56.

If all we had to do was not let the customizations run, why didn't someone just say that? I've been asking about this for like 3 days now.
When I tried flashing the 3.56 rom without the Customizations it still would roam, so go figure

That's because you've already let them run. They don't go away after a reflash, the same way Verizon users who let them run can't just reflash their rom to make it go away. You need to flash sprint 3.35, let THOSE customizations run. Then reflash 3.2.0.
Before you do anything though, you DO have Sprint right?
ever since I installed the rom, my wifi stopped catching signals completely. now I just added the data plan on my phone, and the data isnt working either. Any idea what the problem could be?
EDIT: ALSO I have a verizon phone, yet when I soft reset, Alltell shows up instead of the Verizon Logo. Maybe this has something to do with it
fix
What radio are you using?
Have you tried hard resetting and skipping the customizations? I don't see why Alltel would be displayed if you did a fresh ROM flash, as there is nothing associated with AllTel unless you installed the wrong CAB.
Best bet would be: Go to the Radio 3.40.30 thread, download the Unlocker for Olipro 1.2 and most recent Radio...flash the Unlocker, let it get into Boot Loader mode, then flash the Radio. Then it will boot up again, and flash your phone with Olipro 2.4, then flash the 3.2.3 DCD rom. Install carrier cab, and the Arcsoft one if you need it....then you're done.
The data connection may be another story...but I'd first get the ROM up and going, with the ability to make phone calls / send texts.

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

Ok pm'ed you back! let me know if you get my email, if not i'll just post it here
I've upgraded and changed to:
NueRom v2.2
Chose Verizon, checked the EPST. Everything looked fine, but the m.IP Default Profile is still [email protected].
I was able to get an A-Key (and a password???) from the rep. The A-Key is pretty long.. does that sound about right? Anyway DATA still doesn't work. Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm trying to get this up and running as soon as possible
So I bought a phone that was branded qwest. It is the Mogul Titan 6800 I'm not sure of the point for all the different names but it looks like the Sprint or Telus Phone (circle instead of square navigation button) Anyways I paid someone to flash it to cricket. It ended up having a Verizon splash screen and a radio version of 3.37. The person who flashed it said GPS would not work with this particular flash, and if I wanted it to work he would have to do it on his own time because the guy he worked for had a certain ROM they liked and he could not flash a GPS ROM on his boss's time.
So I flashed to Gamedics ROM and then flashed To) V3 ROM. CI could not get GPS to work with either. I then upgraded the radio to 3.42.50. Still GPS does not work. I added GPS toggle and quick GPS but they did not help either.
I read somewhere about the Verizon MR1 update and how GPS would not work with it. Is there anyway that the original flash that I got was this MR1 and for some reason it has stuch through my other flashes preventing GPS from working? Is there anything I can do to make GPS work on this phone? I also have something QPST if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
My thoughts, and it's only my thoughts, this was probably flashed to MR1, which disables GPS, when your cricket dealer flashed it, he didn't flash it back to an older Verizon stock rom first to undo the GPS lock, you might try flashing an older Verizon stock rom, let it run customizations, then take it back to the dealer and ask him to flash it again, let them do whatever rom they want, but when you get it back home and go back to GAMedics, or whoevers rom, GPS should work.
You might call the cricket guy first, make sure they won't charge you to flash it again, and if not, then do what I suggested.
Or at least ask the tech guy who did the flash for you and see if maybe their rom uses the same verizon locks.

I now have the capability to flash it myself. Could you direct me to an approbriate ROM to undo the lock?Then I can flash it back to my current ROM.
Thanks for the reply.
The only rom that I know of is the original stock Verizon rom, it's windows mobile 6.0, it will do carrier customization, which I believe it has to do in order to unlock the GPS.
Hopefully your Cricket rom restores the Cricket customizations.

Same problem here
Almost the exact same problem, but I have a Verizon branded refurbished (insurance) phone.
It had the latest Verizon ROM (6.1 - 3.37 radio) on it when I got it.
Am I able to put the Verizon 6.0 ROM on it?
I thought that would downgrade to a non-GPS radio , and that could brick the phone?
Here is my two cents... I Have xv6800 on VZW and Verizon users always had a hard time with GPS until GC figured out a GPS setting you had to apply with QPST. Its in the "HTC Titan Links/Information - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING" section sticky in this forum. Since then I use Baf GPS toggle today screen plugin to toggle GPS on or off. It always locks in 2 or 3 seconds. It looks like you said you are on cricket and I don't know if there are similar settings to apply with QPST. This all assumes you haven't flashed the MR1 Verizon upgrade, you are on a 3.something radio and are using a GPS enabled ROM (most if not all in this forum are). I never messed around with the MR1 upgrade so i don't know about it. Flashing back to the original verizon wm6.0 ROM in my case has involved re-locking the phone, and flashing the original ROM (which includes the original Verizon radio), then un-locking again, flashing the latest radio, then a wm6.1 ROM.
If you do some searching on this forum you can find answers to most of your questions.
Thanks. I have searched, but it was unclear whether I should downgrade to a non-GPS rom/radio (I've read that it's dangerous).
The guide I read here was actually pre-GPS rom release.
I went ahead and did downgrade, and then upgraded radio and installed a custom rom.
Now I get super fast locks.
Thanks again.
Upgraded Rom on Sprint Touch Pro No Signal
Any help would be appreciated after upgrading the ROM on my Touch Pro i no longer have any signal i then proceeded to flash back to the stock rom and still no signal i used the proper unlocker upgraded the ROM and Radio it worked the first time with the exception of the PCS data services i kept getting an error 66 I called Sprint Tech support and they had me do a ##786# now i have no signal
Anyone any ideas ?
Thank you
##786# is the "Return to Mfgr Default" settings. Basically, after you've done all this, you might want to check to see if the radio was installed correctly on the phone. Otherwise, I'd try and reflash back to a stock Sprint ROM. Also, check to see if the phone is programmed. If not, go to Start>Settings>Connections Tab>Update Profile. That'll initiate OMA programming over the sprint network.
I tried installing the another radio i cant initiate over the air updates as I have no signal whatsoever the phone operates fine otherwise do you think its a radio problem what would you recommend

need HELP !
You guys flashing in bootloader mode? Are you hard resetting after the flash? You of course have the correct hspl installed first? Is this the first rom flash you've tried or have you done others without incident? Have you tried the latest sprint radio 1.12xx. I found this to give me the best rf yet. Currently running psyki rom, but have tried all with no issues. Can you sync with your computer ok. If so do you have another rom you can reflash to? I always have a few saved for a reflash if the new flash goes south on me.
