I was trying to get flash a new rom and found out thta I needed to upgrade my radio.
I'm with bell so I upgraded to the 3.42.50 radio and I flashed with dcd's newest rom.
Now when I try to send text msgs or call it doesn't work. it goesd "beep beep beep" as if all the calls are always busy.
is it a bug? did I get the wrong radio?
what version of bootloader did you use? what method did you use to flash?
I unlocked the bootloader SPL 2.47 (2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT) (Recommended)
and to flash the rom, I used the usb method. I doubleclicked on dcd3.3.4.exe and let the rest go. However I don't plan on using dcd, but rather a ppckitchen rom.
the phone boots up fine, I just cant use the phone though.
Did you install the carrier cab (although non-data calls should still work fine without it I think)? Perhaps you need to call the automated programming line?
By non data calls, do you mean text messages? I cannot make any calls or send texts...
I did not install/download anything carrier cab related. I'm assuming this may be the missing link. How does this carrier cab fit in with all of this? I did not see anything relate to carrier cabs in the Titan WIKI
I followed the steps:
-updater my SPL
-then the radio
-then I used DCD3.3.4
DCD ROMs do not include carrier information, hence the carrier cabs:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers
great! I found the bell carrier cab... now how do I install it? just put it in my device and install?
can I ask another question? where can this information be found?
this information can be found all over this forum. especially in the wikis. just do a little searching and you'll find most of your answers. sometimes searching wont find you your answer, but make sure youve done your fair share of searching before you create a thread. installing the carrier cab is about as basic as you can get with flashing, so you definitely need to do some reading to get a better understanding of how it all works. its alot to read, but it's totally worth it (and pretty much necessary)
i assume to install a cab, I just have to drag it to my PPC, then start file explorer and click on it.
it installs, then I reset... and still not working
bump ------ still not working need help
like stated before did you do the initial programming. for example verizon is either *22899 send or *228 option 2. you have to do the programming everytime you flash a rom or hard reset. you will see the triangle roaming icon until you program it.
oops, forgot to say it was resolved.
The issue was that the radio I used, even stated made for bell CDMA was most like meant for another carrier. ANyway, the MSID was changed in the EPST so I had to get the password using getSPC and change my MSID back to my 10 digit phone number. reset and voila.
thanks!

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.

Do you have aim/msn or something? I updated to DCD 3.2.3 and the wifi works great now. But the data network keeps saying I have the wrong username and password. I even called up verizon for that and they dont know what the problem is. I bet it's incredible simple :/ What is a DMU reset????
Thanks a bunch in advance
EDIT: Also my phone is RIDDLED with alltel settings when it should be verizon, even AFTER all these updates!! I went into the EPST and a bunch of things had alltel. need help fast :/

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
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.
my first rom installed yesterday
dcd 4.1.2
after that i installed the 20090109 carrier cab
it noted that this was a downgrade in the install completion pop-up
i guess i shouldn't have installed it
is there a newer carrier cab?
i did just have the phone upgraded at sprint corporate last week to wm6.1/rev.a
maybe there was a new carrier included?
i thought the carrier was deleted with a new rom install though
or do i have this all wrong?
thanks for any insight
That is the newest carrier cab for sprint. I think you did something wrong or read incorrectly. There is no carrier info after you flash a custom rom like DCD
i installed the carrier after the rom
thats when the message came up
i'm not having any issues or anything
i just saw it...so i'm mentioning it
i'm more curious about the process
i was under the impression there shouldn't be a carrier on the phone after a rom upgrade
and the message surely made me feel like it was changing from a current carrier
Are you sure you properly updated the bootloader, radio and ROM? I've never seen a message like that.
well im going to have to agree as a noob
i just checked my bootloader and it wasnt olipro
it definitely gave me problems
olipro would go through the first sequence
but when it was time to unplug usb and reconnect...
well it wouldnt catch activesync and continue
problem is my 128mb microsd wont format properly
so im stuck doing the activesync
any help for this nub appreciated
i'm so confused
if the dcd rom didn't go through then how do i have at least part of the custom rom?
i see a few of his customized menus
but then again...some of my customized registry entries still hold true...
like a 45 second keyboard backlight timeout
i guess half a rom isn't a full rom
so i should just safely assume this is failed
and get it working 100%
in search of a non-sdhc micro-sd under 2gb
everything seems to be corrected
2.47 is holding solid
no strange messages from the carrier install
thanks for making me look that extra time
installing from an sd card is much smoother
First , Id like to apologize if this is posted in the wrong area. I've done quite a bit of digging and am not able to find any real information on this subject. Basically I was inquiring if it is possible, links, and or steps to dumping/copying my PRL file as well as the stock shipped rom to my PC. I know you may be wondering why? Well, because my provider is TbayTel and I've gone through a situation where a "flash dance" was needed to fix my ROM issue's I was experiancing. Upon doing this I ended up flashing my PRL to the stock shipped Sprint rom one. Sure there are many prl files available, as well as the steps to manually updating them but my provider is one of the few that a PRL file is unavailable. Called up my provider service center, they will not provide me this as they have NO IDEA what im talking about. Once I explained the situation they obtained a basic idea of what I was talking about. Great thing is they manually program this into your phone as well as every other setting. So it required me bringing the phone in and having them look at it. So I attempted to reflash a stock rom and lock my phone. No stock Tbaytel rom (Custom edited Sprint rom). So i loaded a stock sprint rom, convinced them it was there fault for shipping me that, but was unable to lock my phone. I believe this is because they orignal settings could never match unless I reloaded my actual stock Tbaytel rom and ovbioulsy they wont hand this out willingly. So with my stock Sprint rom phone with no settings (Phone was stuck in activation process), and unlocked I proceded to the customer service building. Took alot of manipulation lol, but there fixing it and having it back to me by monday. So with this said and my problem (finally ) being resolved. I would like to do this to add that material as a resource to this community. Also feel free to comment on my escavade as well as tell me if i could have done something diffrent.
P.S: Thank you to all who have or are inputing into this. (Have for the people who aided in the past with those issue's stated above.) This is a great community and I hope I can provide these files to help improve something!
Use CDMA workshop to copy your PRL and save it. Flashing your phone shouldn't involve touching your PRL though.
You should run through your registry to obtain your data settings, and mms settings if any.
Thanks
Thank you for all your input/help. Only question left is , how do i dump my stock shipped rom? As for the PRL being updated, it happened when i flashed to the stock sprint rom and hard reset. Auto updated my PRL to 60613 i beleive it was.
You dont need your stock rom. You only need your data and mms settings. You can find these in a quick registry dump.
Thank you
Thank you for your prompt responses. If that is the case , then my final question to you is. After i complete a registry dump, am i able to apply the reg file to any other rom. In doing this will it mess with the custom rom? (like there must be pre-configured settings static to the registry of the rom of choice right)?
I have an HTC HD2 and I'm on T-mobile. What I've noticed is that my phone doesn't ring sometimes and then I'll just get a voicemail notification (if voicemail was left). It's an intermittent issue, I've tested it several times from another line.
Does anybody know what the issue is? I did a search on Google and there seems to be a lot of the same issues others are having across other networks and other versions of the HTC but, haven't found a solution.
Thanks
i had never heard of this issue until yesterday, when my phone simply did not ring, then i got a txt asking why i didnt answer. very confusing. only seemed to happen once. i have done a lot of tweaks, so maybe ive changed something i shouldnt have. if it helps im using a generic, unbraded, factory unlocked HD2, with CleanEX DsE 3.5 and radio 2.11. have you tried re-flashing the ROM and seeing if that helps?
interestingly, i have noticed that my signal can be irratic at times, often just dropping for no reason, then coming back about 30 seconds later. i live in a full signal area, so i know thats not a problem. also my data connection will 'freeze' at times, where it shows its connected, but nothing is able to use it, i have to disconnect and reconnect, and this may take 2 or 3 attempts before it connects and is usable. have you experienced the same issues?

I haven't tried flashing the ROM, I've been hesitant on doing that since I feel like I might mess something up. I'm not sure how to either. I have SPB backup, so I would hope if I messed something up then I would be able to easily restore it.
I haven't really noticed any dropping, my call qualities have been good. I've tried to dial a number before and it might drop right then while it's trying to make the call. So, I'll redial the number but, once I'm connected I haven't noticed any issues with calls dropping.
Data connection has been working pretty good as well, I've been using the wifi quite a bit and not really had any issues. I don't have a data plan setup with T-Mobile so I just use the wifi. I don't know if using the actual data connection would give different results than using the wifi.
flashing a rom is really easy it's all autoinstall, just have to read carefully / look at the video's, there A LOT of them out there.

updating the rom may help, as it will also update the radio drivers. what i would suggest, if you dont have much experience in flashing a ROM is to have a look on the official HTC support site. on there it will give you a list of updates avalible for your phone. download the latest ROM for your phone (for me, this is WWE 1.66 with radio 2.06) and install that. any data on an sd card will remain intacted, but sync you phone with outlook and backup stuff like contacts, messages etc before you do it. i personally use microsoft myphone to do all that.
flashing the ROM with an official one is very straight forward, and as quoted above, its all auto install on the phone, and there are about 3 or 4 steps that you need to do PC side (this is all explained in the update program you download). i would give that a go and see if things improve, you will also gain improved performance, new features and better battery life with newer ROMs, so its worth doing
custom roms are a bit more tricky to install, but often offer more features and improvements over stock roms. if you need help with this have a search on the forums, there are lots of guides and help on how to flash with a custom rom

I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2 (U.S.) and I went to the HTC site and on the download page for the ROM update it has ROM Version: 1.66.707.1. When I check the ROM version on my phone it is: 2.10.531.1.1 (82076) WWE
Also it says on there - Note: This update is not intended for use on T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2, and doing so may have undesired side effects.
So, I suppose I'll have to start looking into the custom ROM's.

good job you didnt flash that, the 'undesired side effect' of flashing that official rom (or any other non tmous official rom) on your tmous phone would have been a permanently dead phone.
im not sure about tmous roms, maybe have a look on the t-mobile us support site and see if anything is listed there. if you want to look at custom roms the first thing you will need to do is get hspl (the latest version is hspl3, which i believe is compatible with tmous). if you search on the forums you can find the official thread. this removes the security checks and allows you to install custom roms. after that you will need to choose a radio version. again search on the forum and find the latest one compatible with your hd2 (there is an official radio thread which i would look at). this normally comes with an updater program included, but if not, search for 'custom ruu' and follow the instructions on the thread. finally you need to pick a custom rom. there are literally 100s to choose from, with different features, looks, apps and even some android builds. personally, i use cleanex dse because of its speed and stability. im not sure if this is tmous compatible, so check on the rom threads.
alternativly, you could have a hardware fault with your phone, which will be repaired under warrenty, so you could go down this route. personally, i would do this first and see if things improve, as although custom roms can be uninstalled and the steps can be reversed, the warrenty is voided by using hspl and installing custom roms.
still have the problem? Might not need a hard reset. Try this solution here:
(LINK)
One of your programs might have deleted the "Volatile" folder, so
no Volatile folder => no WMPlayer => no MP3 playback => no ringtone.
Re-creating an empty "\Application Data\Volatile" folder usually brings it all back.
If it fixes the problem temporarily and recurs again, you might have to change the temp folder as outlined in the link above, or just install that CAB.
Hope this helps. If this solves your problem, please edit/add [solved] to your title.

I have the same problem. Sometimes incoming call does't ring, altough the phone vibrates. I'm using an european HD2 with the original 1.48 rom. I didn't found the reason... the changed tweak... the influencing application installed. It seems happening randomly, I can get a call without incoming call ring and after a few minutes I can get a second call from the same caller with a normal ring.
