Ok, I'll admit... I'm a newb and even the wiki is somewhat confusing. I've flashed my XV6800 before using this guide:
http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/
And it's been working well with the GPS.
But I would like to try tethering and so I want to upgrade to the latest DCD but I am confused as to the Radio/Etc.
Can anyone point me to the right direction on what Radios, etc. I need.
The end result is, I want to do both GPS and Tethering and still connect to Verizon.
Thanks in advance!

If you currently have GPS running.... what Radio do you have?
If you want the latest and greatest read this "Compatibility List"
Compatibility List
More than likely... you'll just need to update using DCD's rom. No radio needed.
I have Radio 3.27.00, which is incompatible. So I will need to upgrade the radio too but I don't see 3.35.00 or better for download.

Go to the wiki page.... it has links for them... here's the wiki...
Titan Recent
Here's the 3.42.30 radio...
3.42.30
Thanks for the link to the Radio.
So can anyone help me with the order of the loading... this is what I did last time and it worked like a charm.
* Open Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe. It will extract files into C:\ttn240mfg, and then launch an unlocker. Follow the instructions on screen.
* Once it has been completed, launch the device’s software update. Follow the instructions on screen for the updater.
* Following the updater’s final instructions, power cycle the device as instructed (holding power and reset buttons simultaneously). The device will likely freeze at startup on your carrier’s logo. This is normal.
* When the device does freeze, hold power, camera, and reset buttons. This will send the device into what is known as Bootloader Mode.
* Connect the Titan back to your computer. Run the baseband radio firmware update, similar to the instructions above.
* When finished, power cycle again as instructed, holding power and reset buttons to complete the update.
But now I have the DCD ROM, the Radio and the extra Verizon Cab. What order do I do them in? The Wiki really doesn't go into the order like that.
Still looking for a little guidance here.

Thanks for the reply. One more question before I bite the bullet and give this a try. The last radio I did was an EXE file and it loaded it into my machine.
It looks like the 3.42 radio I downloaded is a nbh file. It appears from the wiki that I need ROMUpdateUtility.exe to load it. Is this correct, and if so, where can I find it. I see many references to it... but no working links. The wiki even insinuates that it should be in the ROM folder... but I looked for it in all the DCD kitchen rom folders but couldn't find it.
Thanks!

Actually... if you have 2.4 bootloader... you can copy that TITAIMG.nbh file onto a formatted SD card and start the bootloader. It will load it then. if you use ROMUpdateUtility.exe... I believe you have to name it RUU_signed.nbh and put it into the same folder as that exe.
Unfortunately, I don't have a non-HD card to throw it on and I heard there were problems with the SHDC cards.
Do you have a working link for the ROM Update utility? I've tried several links on xda, but none of them seem to be working.
Thanks!

Download DCD's Kitchen. The utility is in the RUU folder once you extract the kitchen.
When I tried to flash the ROM, it says this utility may not be used with my phone.
Weird. Any suggestions?

I've had some trouble installing a custom ROM posted here. I'd like to go back to the factory default, as this one is missing a few programs I need (Adobe Reader, etc). Where can I download the original ROM to return my XV6800 to its out of the box state? Thanks!
You can get it from the PPCGeeks FTP.

Obviously I do not know which ROM you are refering to but remember that the newer ROM's such as DCD's 2.0.0 are built for Radio 3.27.00 and are bootloader specific. If you want to go back to the stock ROM I think you will need to take your bootloader back as well.
It Seems Like Im Not The Only One To Have This Problem, I Upgraded The Radio Version To 3.27 (the New One) And I Couldnt Find The Hard Spl 2.40 Olipro Since Ppcgeeks Is Shut Down, And I Crossed My Fingers It Would Work And To No Avail....stuck On Splash Screen, Cant Run Sprint Rom, Or Any Other Rom Because It Doesnt Load Up To Be Able To Sync

Well when i first tried to install it didnt really work because i didnt use the newest bootloader. I dont think its going to work for you either unless you use it. I would just go back to the stock rom/radio and use then install the newest boot loader/unlocker, then radio, then gps rom.
But if you want to try, your going to have to get a sd card, format it to fat32 then put the .nbh (the largest file in the rom download) file on the card, but name the file TITAIMG.nbh. Then put the phone in boot loader mode (hold camera, power, and reset)
When the phone starts up this time the bootloader will load that .nbh file to the phone just as if you had done it through active sync (close).
You can use this for anything really. If you want to go back to the stock rom, download the rom exe from htc's website and extract the .nbh file with a program called zipscan. If you do this you will be back to stock everything except maybe the BL im not really sure if.
If you want to try the newest rom (which most likely wont work since your not using the newest hard spl) just take that .nbh file and name it TITAIMG.nbh and put it on your sd card and put phone in boootloader mode and it should copy that image.
I tried to explain the best i could just ask if you have any questions.
for the life of my i cannot see why people cant search for a problem before they post about it.

And to comment on why people don't search for answers first before posting.....
I read everything I could before trying all of this out. My computer experienced the BSOD in the middle of the relocking process. The above listed methos was the only way that I could get my device to work. And yes, I asked the same question that hb1774 asked. I had read about this method in another post, but everything is so spread out and very new to me and a lot of people. Lets try not to be sarcastic. People come here to learn and hack. I know a hell of a lot about computers, but I'm not Yoda, so I'm going to need help. Until there is a well organized post with a solution to every issue that comes up, there are going to be repeat questions. If you know that it's a repeat question and you know where the answer is burried in the forum, why not post a link to the answer? Just my 2 cents worth.

i have had many problems since i upgraded my phone. sometimes if i do a soft reset, my phone gets stuck in the rainbow screen and sometimes takes a while to get back to normal. i want to just update my phone back to normal since i actually want to send it into sprint. Can someone please let me know what i need to do in order to do this, thanks
either go to htc website or sprint website and down load latest released rom and install. It should be a complete install back to original radio and rom.
Does anyone know how to return my verizon xv6800 back to factory, I unlocked/flashed to get gps to work and it updated to windows 6.1 which i dont like and I want it back to factory. Verizon cant do anything and neither can htc. has anyone done this?

Yes, relocker then the ROM and Radio are actually both included in the same file this time.
So run the relocker, unpack the ROM file and place the .nbh file in the RUU folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
ok not so good luck so far, have ran the reLocker and went to your links to d/l and there is no program to run them, Im relativerly new to this and need help quick what is my next step????

This ROM file is the full thing that includes the radio as well, so no need for a separate radio flash.
So, just to recap here for anyone still curious...
Once you run the Relocker (which will restore your bootloader to factory - also disallowing any new custom roms) then you're ready to run the Rom Update Utility (RUU) from the ROM you downloaded from Verizon or HTC's website.
the ROM update will flash both your radio as well as your ROM. good luck!

I am curious because I have all of the files and know what to do, but so far I have not had any of the problems that everyone else has had so have not needed to try it yet, so let us know that all is well just for comfort. Thanks.
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
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
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.
just to let everyone know i ran the factory rom and it worked perfectly, phone is back to normal, thanks !!l
This ROM file is the full thing that includes the radio as well, so no need for a separate radio flash.
Click to expand...

This is a bit off-topic so apologies...
But I am left wondering that if you can include the Radio into the rom,
Has DCD or No2Chem tried to integrate the radio flash into the rom and see if some of the issues with the radio goes away?
I doubt separate install could be a cause of anything but it might be worth looking into.
If your having trouble installing the radio(I was). DCD hinted that you should try installing the Sprint rom first-The official one-http://www.america.htc.com/mogulupdate/)
Then after that is done installing go ahead and flash his 3.0.0 rom.
Everything should work great. Also if you were wondering you DO NOT need to relock ur device. Use oli pro's bootloader and enter bootloader mode by pressing camera power and the soft reset button. Do this for both the HTC rom and dcd's.
Any questions feel free to reply back, hope my info helped!!
now when u say flash his 3.0.0 rom...do we just open BuildNB.bat ? in the kitchen rar file? cuz i've never seen a rom that had all those folders and files, usually i just get a single .nbh file or .exe
I don't really see much of an install guide here, so I'll go ahead and post how I did it.
I'm running dcd's 3.0.0 and it's working great. PLEASE BE AWARE: At this point, there is only a kitchen, not a released rom. You will need to "cook" your own Rom. Instructions below.
Steps I took: (Coming from a previous Stock ROM)
1) Backup using PPCPimBackup (optional)
2) Hard Reset (optional)
3) Install the new Sprint 3.35 Rom/Radio
4) Install SPL-olipro 2.40 Bootloader
5) Download/extract dcd's 3.0.0 kitchen
6) Download/install Visual C++ 2008 Runtime
7) In the kitchen, run 'BuildNB.bat'
8) Follow the instructions, pick packages/carrier, and let it do it's thing
9) Let the RUU install this new Rom.
10) Install apps and restore backup
I hope that's helpful to those trying this for the first time.

niec help from kd5ftn
so, the first post says put it in bootloader mode, but the "more complete" instructions don't mention bootlader mode. Does it matter?
Also, would it be better if I used an XP machine? I have Vista Home Premium, but I have access to an XP machine if there will be less problems.
Yeah, I'm not sure why he's manually entering the bootloader. Once the Rom Update Utility ran for each process, It pretty much did it it all for me.
I'm unfotunately not experienced enough cooking kitchen's to know more. I kind of like to get things setup and leave them alone. So far, everything with my phone feels quicker and more polished.

FYI you'll need .Net framework 2 or higher for this to run, i tried it from work but it wouldn't run since we only have 1.1 and i don't want to mess with my work machine for something like this.
Also don't run it from a thumb drive... it takes a LONG time before it does ANYTHING.

Where to get my A-Key (It is not listed where everybody says it should be),
Should I shut off the radio before beginning,
Will a hard reset improve my chances of this working,
If I sync my contacts and calender before I begin, will it restore back after?
I wrote Verizon asking about there timetable for this upgrade, but if they do not get back to me soon I may take the plunge and start flashing myself. The Kitchen seems easy to use, and there is an update in the Radio thread on how to get it to work.

Starting from 2.3.2 and using post #3. I did steps 3, stopping the initialization after the HTC mobility screen came up. Skipped step 4 (already on the Phone), and did 5 through 9. Allowed phone to boot up after installing 3.0.0 with Verizon selected in the Kitchen. Previous installations I had Akey and data connection issues each time with Verizon, this time very smooth, just did a *228 option 1 for insurance. Had to reload my [email protected] in the data connection entry. Relatively painless.
Dialer in DCD's ROMS

I got my phone yesterday around 4 pm. Short of doing some homework I have been researching how to get the most out of it all night. I attempted to use QPST but that led to my phone being unable to sync at all with my computer. I would like to do this manually if at all possible. The problem is that I do not have a "Security or EPST" option under view. Where would I find those exactly?
I also have some questions about DCD 3.3.4 ROM:
Will ActiveSync still work?
Will I be able to install all of the freeware apps and have them run properly as if from stock?
I have a US Cellular phone; once I flash it will be impossible to go back to stock, correct?
What would be the necessary steps to get the 2.47 bootloader if all I have is USB and an 8gig microSD card?
My bootloader version currently installed is listed as 1.07.0000, the wiki does not mention this version; will it be a problem?
I also want to double check my steps, considering the above is true (about not returning to stock) I want to make damn sure I do this right the first time:
EPST settings copy
Install bootloader 2.40 via USB
Run ROM Update Utility with 3.42.50 in RUU folder via USB
Go to loader screen via PWR-CMRA-RST
Run DCD 3.3.4 via USB
Any help or advice (or both) is greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone that helps in advance.
besides dcd 3.3.4 I woudl also check out Skips ROM
Aloha, DCD 3.3.4 is awsome I was using that for a long while until Skip came out with V 1.1 I am currently running Skip's WM6.1 build 20954 v1.1 Lite and Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468707 I think you would probably like this ROM very fast, lite and lean. It has a update downloader in it that allows you to add in things like Office and OneNote. The other thing it seems to have and Skip would have to correct me if I am wrong but in the Kitchen as options Unloack and hard spl phone, flash radio 3.42.50, cooking the ROM is very easy in that kitchen just follow the instruction. He has also created a very easy to use CAB to OEM packager.
Also make sure you read through the wiki if this your first time burning a rom to a phone. The help there is very well done.
So far I really like the speed of this ROM it has no problem running the new IOLITE version of M2D.
You need a 2gb or smaller card, even if you just buy it, flash it, and then toss it, you need the 2gb or less for HardSPL2.47 to load, and also to flash the radio you should use SD card as well.
Once these 2 steps are done, you don't need the smaller card and can switch to the 8gb card.
There is no going back once you flash HardSPL2.47, there is no stock rom, so once you do that first step you must finish or your phone will no longer be functional.
You definitely want to get QPST working first so that you can read the phone's programming, otherwise your phone will never work correctly, it can be fixed by hand but is a real pain in the butt.
BTC
So I should definitely pick up a 2gig or smaller just to get this installed? Could I pull it off with like a 512meg card or do I need something a little bigger?
