Okay okay, I know the new update breaks gps and if you flash back data doesn't work... That happened to me, and Verizon just gave me a new phone because I said data all of a sudden stopped working. I now have a brand new 6800 with nothing on it yet. But of course I want GPS again. So my question is will this work:
1. Install Spring 3.56 Rom, do not let customizations run.
2. Install new Verizon Rom, again do NOT let customizations run.
3. Install 3.42 Radio.
Will this allow me to get gps and not mess up my data connection?
Thanks guys.
PS. If you do flash new VZ rom and realize you hate it like everyone else, and you flash back to Old Stock VZ, you know your data is screwed. GC gave great instructions on how to restore data, but those options dont work for everyone, such as me, as I do not have other phones to activate. So you should restore stock Rom, and make sure everything is clean, then go to VZ Store with a tech center and explain your data stopped working all of a sudden. They replaced my mogul with a brand new one with old vz rom. Hope this helps. Thanks for the responses guys.
Yes that should allow you to use the GPS, though you'll have to apply the Titan GPS Fix with QPST.
As far as the data goes....if you never update the PRI in the first place, your data will not be lost. The only way the data gets screwed is if you update to the new VZW rom, let the customizations run, then try and go back to the old PRI.
thanks, meant to put in there flash custom rom after VZ rom update, but it should still be the same. thanks again

WHAT! THEY GAVE U A BRAND NEW ONE!
That is the first I've ever heard of this... they usually ONLY give out refurbs and, in my experience, they NEVER have them in stock in the store... You got lucky, my friend.

Hello everyone! I have searched a lot and after about 6 flashes back to stock and retrying I can't seem to get this to work.. Please I have searched a lot and I am just frustrated now. Here is what I am doing. I unlocked with 2.40 spl, then run sprint rom. Now I don't let it customize. 3.2 rom. then telus cab. I run auto programming on phone *22803 , 1, 1 and show successful. Phone work but no data connection. called telus and re did login for data network phone#@1x.telusmobility.com and esn number. still no data. Can someone who has the latest rom working on their mogul please give me exact instructions or lend me a hand. PLEASE PLEASE. Oh if I relocka and run telus stock rom it all works fine. That is where I am now
Cheers all!!
hey man sorry my details are kinda crappy been awhile since i did it from a stock ROM but i had the same issues...maybe do a search for my posts here and look at them they might be more helpful then my memory....
anyways get your phone locked again and back to stock telus just U NEED to do this so you know you are starting fresh...then unlock and flash with the sprint ROM to get the GPS radio u are after....then re flash with the ROM of your choice if i remember correctly there is a step in 2.40-olipro that you are not doing right where it says disconnect or reconnect or something.....but every time you do it wrong go back to stock everything.......you'll get it man trust me look at my old posts i think i said what i did wrong...and follow the instructions perfectly there is one that is easy to miss if i remember correctly

Among other possible problems, you definitely applied the wrong radio. v3.27 of the CDMA radio from February was only intended for builds off of a very early and leaked pre-release Sprint testing ROM.
Where did you get informatino to flash to that radio version?
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!
I have a VZW XV6800. Getting a replacement device so I decided to practice flashing a new radio/ ROM. Last night was my first time! lol and I was up until 4am trying to follow the guide. I was flashing wby USB. What seem like pretty straight forward directions had me baffled. I ended up with a updated radio and a sprint rom.
I understand the order to be
unlock
update radio
update rom
install carrier CAB
I couldn't find the compatable Radio without the Sprint ROM. So I flashed that and then Flashed dcd Titan 3.2.5 ROM and installed vzw cab. Got the phone to work but could'nt get the data to work. Also I noticed that my phone had switched to 1x instead of EV.
PLEASE help! I have my new phone and want to flash correctly this time. I also have to flash my old phone back to stock before I return it. I swear im not retarded! I only hope its easier the second time.
If you are new to this, and don't wanna brick your phone, then install these in this order...(HardSPL rom, Radio rom, Phone rom, Carrier cab)
1.Here is the HardSPL ROM:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/spl/titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
2. Here is the radio rom:
http://lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/radios/Titan%20Radio%20ROM%203.42.50.rar
3. Here is the phone rom:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/roms/dcd_titan_3.2.5.exe
4. Here are the carrier cabs:
http://lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/carriers/
Do all that, from the beginning, and you will be fine. (Also, showing 1X or EV will depend on your location)
After flashing, if you have no data you need to call verizon, tell them you hard reset your phone and data does not work. Request they reset your data services. If you get the message "Not authorized" while trying to make a call.. you need an AKey Reset.
To avoid this:
While you still have your old phone.....
1) Log into your verizon account... switch activation to your old phone.
2) Flash your new phone following the instructions already posted.
3) When you are finished, switch activation back to the new phone.
This should reset your Akey and data services so you dont need to call verizon to get them to work... As long as you have two phones, you can switch back and forth.
On my last replacement I kept the old phone for about 45 days.. was starting to wonder if I actually needed to send it back
Also when you post, put a real description of your issue in the title.. you'll get more reads and replies that way.
Thank you both! I plan on having time to flash Saturday. I will let you know how it goes. BTW are there any tips or tricks to getting a faster connection from my vzw aircard?
Once they give you an A-Key to manually type in, you will never need another one.
I have flashed my phone 100 times since I got my first A-Key, ane never had to call them back or do that activation-switch trick. My unlimited data works 100% on first boot after a rom and radio flash everytime.

sorry, dont use a vzw aircard, just have unlimited data plan, which gets me over DSL/Cable speeds...I am fine with that.
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.
I've got a refurbished Verizon XV6800 that had the latest Verizon ROM installed (radio 3.37).
I unlocked with No2chem SPL 2.47 and flashed a GPS PPCKitchen ROM.
The phone is flashed for cricket.
I can not get GPS to work. I upgraded the radio to 3.42.50.
GPS stil does not work. I added GPS toggle and quick GPS but they did not help either.
I've read about the Verizon MR1 update and how GPS would not work after it is installed.
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?
I've searched this awhile now, and can't find a specific set of instructions for a GPS enabled Verizon to get GPS working with a custom ROM.
If I can flash a pre-MR1 Verizon ROM, where would I find it?
Thanks for any help.

I've read this thread, but it was written before GPS roms, and I don't think it addresses the issue of downgrading radios from 3xx (3.42.50, in my case).

The stock rom contains the downgraded radio as well.
Thanks for your help, but I need to know.
I've heard going back to a non-GPS radio is really dangerous (this is a non-GPS radio, right?)
Just don't want to brick it.
It's very hard to brick this phone. I am one of the few that have, but, wasn't due to software issues, it was hardware. I've gone down to stock plenty of times and it's not that hard. In order for you to use a custom ROM WITH gps and yer trying to flash from a stock 6.1 rom, you HAVE to flash back to a 6.0 rom and then upgrade from that or gps will not work. Check out the guides mentioned above and the guide in the wiki.
Thanks for the advise, folks.
I will...(gulp)...give it a try.
If you hear screaming from the direction of Dayton, Ohio you'll know why.
lol
Thanks again.
i think i heard screaming already do you need us to call an ambulance?
I downgraded, and then upgraded successfully.
Now I just need to see if GPS is working.
>>EDIT<<<
GPS is working! Thanks so much for the help guys! I've done about 12 Moguls, but this was the first VZW one, so it was a new problem for me.
..but there is something weird. My data connection keeps starting up by itself.
I done everything as I always do, but I've never had this quirk before.
Could it be a radio problem?
Thanks.

With every ROM I've used including all the official Telus ROMs I'm pretty sure the data connection always connects by itself...
The only application I had that wouldn't start a data connection on it's own was SBSH Weather (it had a specific option to automatically establish a data connection).
I've been fighting a similar problem,trying to learn ppc kitchen.Every rom I've made can't get the data connection to stop,keeps cycling back on
