Alltel 6800 is still on WM5. Is there a cooked ROM or upgrade that can bring it to WM6?
Thanks!
WM6 ROM out for Alltel
Go to the HTC Support page for the PPC6800 and follow the download link for the new ROM...
Here's the link:

Hope this helps, I've already installed it and it runs just as well as my other 6800 that has had WM6 on it for a few weeks...
Cheers,
Mick
Hi Friends:
Thanks for your suggestions...My SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800 has the SPL-2.40.Olipro and then I fashed it with RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe and I get the following:
CE OS 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8)
ROM version: 3.35.651.2
ROM date: 02/22/08
Radio version: 3.35.04
Protocol version: DCAAXAM-4350H
Hardware version: 0003
PRL version: 60610
PRI version: 2.00_003
Browser version: MSIE 6.0
ok...I would like to know if dcd's titan ROMs & kitchen 3.0.1 and Radio 3.35.04 will enable GPS in my SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800
p.s. dcd's titan rom 2.1.0...Radio 3.27.00 or higher is required. This radio enables GPS and EvDO rev A.
Thanks
TecMan
Techman, if I'm not mistaken (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the sprint ROM will enable GPS and RevA. There is no need to switch to DCDs rom, unless you just want to. However, you should not need to do anything else with the radio...just the ROM.

Hi klwheat:
Thanks for your reply....but I would like to have Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional...that's why my question
dcd's titan ROMs & kitchen 3.0.1 with Radio 3.35.04?
or
dcd's titan rom 2.1.0 with Radio 3.27.00?
will enable GPS in my SPRINT HTC MOGUL PPC-6800?
Thanks
TecMan
both will enable it just fine, ive found 3.0.1 + 3.35.04 to be far less buggy than radio 3.27.00
Hi defaultdotxbe:
Thanks for your recommendation
TecMan
dcd's titan rom 2.1.0 with Radio 3.27.00?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok first off....dcd rom 2.1.0 uses WM6.1 BETA...as in I would definitely steer clear from that (no offense to dcd, as it was GREAT to have it at the time)
Second, Radio 3.27.00 was a leaked beta radio from the leaked sprint test rom...as in...full of bugs, drops data connection frequently etc.
dcd 3.0.1 is based off the official sprint/htc release update, uses wm 6.1 rtm, not beta, and radio 3.35.04 is an official radio release.
That should answer your question.
Techman, sorry about the confusion. Good luck with the update. My understanding is that if you upgrade the radio via the official sprint rom, and then the ROM with DCDs, RevA and GPS should both be enabled, and you'll get 6.1. Hope that helps, I just received my 6800 finally yesterday...and am waiting until this evening to get into it too deep. Right now the weather is nice (a rarity in WA) and I'm going riding!
GPS feature Inquiry
I am planning on going on a trip and relying on google maps as primary source of guidence. I have a titan and am using radio 3.27 if this is of any consequence. My question is if carrier reception is poor or non existant will gps still function. You'll have to excuse me if this is a dumb question. I am pc, mac buff, new to ppc. My iphone lacks gps, and all this fresh software I have obtained for my titan the last 5 months so this is my only source of gps but I will buy a standard garmin roadnav if need be, just hate to add more devices to my windsheild.
Hello,
I have searched, but for the life me I can't seem to find a solutions for this. I have 6800 (verizon) with DCD 3.01 and radio 3.27. I thought I would upgrade to 3.04. After flash I go into settings\connections\ and look for manage existing connections, but can't find it.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Dbrown - using the 3.27 radio with a 3.x.x ROM is NOT a good idea, and it's highly recommended you upgrade to the 3.35 or 3.37 radio asap....
It's impossible for him to be using the 3.27 radio with 3.0.1. He's mistaken, he probably is using 3.37.20. The phone would not function if he had 3.27 and 3.0.1 installed.
Sorry it was late and I was not looking. I am running 3.37 radio. I had to go to ppcgeeks rom and i got the verizon connections back. Not sure why it did not work with DCD 3.04. I will try the rom instead of the kitchen.

I wanna reserve my post too... ;P
The Wiki generally should have up-to-date listing for each of the available ROMs/Kitchens and their associated radios. Thanks gcincotta, though it should probably be best to keep such information in one spot where we can all easily update and refer people to. Threads grow, can get confusing with questions and misinformation, and only the thread starter can re-edit the first post. The Wiki isn't just for one person to edit, so the more each of us get accustomed to editing and keeping the Titan Wiki up-to-date the better for all.

Key, the wiki is a nice tool for such information, but sadly people do not check it. This forum NEEDS a sticky like this. I'm not discouraging people from using the wiki, as it is very useful, but I believe this thread will help a LOT of people. I hope you will be on board. In fact, I'll even post a link to the wiki in the original post. Thanks.

Oh of course I'll help and not discourage this, I just wanted to make the reminder that we do have the wiki to keep up-to-date, as it's slightly falling behind. If you haven't already I've just sent a message of to mikechannon to make this thread a sticky.
Someone should sticky this.
Adi
............... I've also requested TalynOne's awesome GPS FAQ to be made a sticky as well.
Hopefully someone with some no2chem rom expertise can post and let me know which builds fall under what category for his stuff.
no2chem's 5060 build uses 3.35.04 on up, but I can't remember which older build switched from radio 3.27....
How about some links on the front post to each of the ROMs and Radios.

Naw....on that point my opinion is to discourage it. General items can be great but at what point do too many sticky threads at the top become too cluttered and actually discourage their intent of quick glancing info...?
General stickies require less maintenance for administrators to remove the outdated or supplemented ROM/Kitchen sticky threads and replace with another. Plus who's ROM/Kitchen or app get's the bonus of a sticky thread? This forum is fantastic without competition between developers and everyone working respectfully together. I can see one person making a request for their thread to become a sticky and then the dominoes falling of others doing the same and moderators eventually getting frustrated at being called up to maintain it. We could try and get one of our regulars moderator status, but I don't think that's necessary.
For ROMs/Kitchens/Apps, I think the way we have it now works just fine. The Wiki already has links to ROMs and radios, where all kitchen builders and any member here can update at will. To find any of that from the first page of the forum it is only 2 links deep (from the Titan Wiki sticky thread). The forum search function also gets neglected by some. gcincotta could keep updating the first post in this thread with direct links to the mentioned builds, but that can be a lot of extra & regular work for one person. The current ROM/Kitchen threads don't get sunk too far back in the forum as long as interest and posts to those threads remain active.
The worst case scenerio is to have the first page of this upgrading forum confused and full of stickies....almost like that found at PPGeeks....
Maybe you mis-read my post or meant to quote someone else.
Each of the ROMs and Radios are already referred to in the first post of this thread. My suggestion is to make the text in the first post for each of the ROMs and Radios referenced into a hyperlink that would allow the reader to link to the forum thread where the ROM or Radio that they are interested in is detailed. In no way would I like to see more sticky threads, I think the one is fine.
Also, by what account is the 3.39.10 Radio considered to be the best? Is there any benefit to it over the 3.35 radio or are we flashing for the sake of flasing?
Sorry maskedlion, yeah I rushed & barely glanced at your post... That's up to gcincotta if he wants to take on the load or not. As it is, I think he's done a fine job.
My preference would be for each of the ROM/Radio groupings to link directly to the Wiki pages for Titan with GPS Home Page, Titan older pre-GPS ROMs Home Page, and Titan Stock Home Page. Only one place then to maintain but still returning the info and links to the needed threads/files.
The purpose for this sticky is for reference for newcomers to our community. Yes, the information is available on the wiki, but most people who come here don't bother to read much as it is before flashing, nevermind go to another site to read up on it.
I've seen post after post after post flooding dcd's kitchen thread from people who have flashed a 3.x.x rom and are using the 3.27 radio, or worse, come from stock and just flash a 3.x.x rom. My intent for this was/is for it to catch their eye beforehand.
I'm not posting instructions on how to aquire said roms/radios, nor am I posting where to find them, that's what the search function is for and that's why we have a wiki.
To maskedillion regarding radio 3.39.10, when Sprint/HTC released their update activating GPS/RevA they also released radio 3.35.04. With their recent update, they have released radio 3.39.10. New firmware is new firmware. I'm sure Sprint/HTC wouldn't have bothered to release a new radio if there wasn't SOME improvement. Radio 3.37.20 was released from Alltel/HTC with their update activating GPS/RevA. My question to you is, if you're an engineer writing radio firmware, would you bother to sit down and write new firmware just for the sake of it? Or would you write new firmware if you have additions/updates to make to the old firmware? I'm an engineer myself and I write firmware for a living, and I would choose the latter. If people don't want to use the new radio they don't have to, but I'm personally recommending it due to pure common sense.

It should be noted that the Sprint 3.39.10 radio and associated OS was leaked (as 3.27) from their internal testing and hasn't been released to the public.
Right...it was leaked...but it's probably not as "experimental" as was 3.27. When 3.27 was leaked it was while testing GPS/RevA...now that both have been released (with 3.35.04), I highly doubt 3.39.10 is as buggy as 3.27. Sprint may release an even newer radio when they officially release this update, and if so I'll indicate that on the first page. I will indicate that it is a pre-released radio though.
My 2 cents:
On the stock rom radios, at least on verizon, I had problems with 1.40, but found 1.47 and 2.13 the best of that bunch.
On the latest rom radios, again with verizon, I would rank them 3.39>3.35>3.37. I found them all similar on cell, and wifi; but found 3.35 a little better than 3.37 on gps and bluetooth, and 3.39 to be better on gps and much better on bluetooth than either of the other two.
I don't pay a lot of attention to battery life (always prepared after 2.5 years with the battery poor samsung i730) and imo it depends alot on your location, but 3.39 seems a little better in that category as well.
