Been running Carhd Rom for a while now with zero problems.

Last night, my battery was down to about 15% so I turned off the phone, until I went upstairs a couple hours later to put it on charge.

Problem is, phone did not restart as normal...instead a message in red came up.

Something like:

"Custom Binary (RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock."

I've tried to flash stock firmware for my UK Vodafone S8 Plus, but then I get this error message:

"Error!

Device does not have DRK, please install DrK first.

Press any button."

Can someone please help me out, ive been trying literally all night and can't find a solution.

really really would appreciate some help here.

cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] matthew33:

USE SMART SWITCH ON PC VIA USB TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY SOFTWARE RECOVERY. To fix this problem first u have to download SMART SWITCH then install it

Then click emergency software recovery and don't plug your phone to your computer yet then enter your phone model and s/n after it will explains the

rest

APPARENTLY IT LOCKED YOU OUT ASSUMING SOMEONE TRIED TO BYPASS SECURITY. YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW YOURE IMEI or other info only you know. GOOD LUCK. THIS HAPPENS TO MANY. JUST DO IT THROUGH SMART SWITCH ON PC TO DO EMERGENCY RECOVERY. IT MUST WORK.

I've installed and ninstalled Smartswitch multiple times, but when it';s installed, I try to open it and get this error:

"The ordinal 8452 could not be located in the dynamic link library mfc90u.dll."

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] samteeee:
Try this, it might get "SmartSwitch"going!

1. Completely uninstall (with temp file) Smart Switch.

2. Uninstall Samsung USB driver for mobile phones.

3. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package

4. Install the latest SmartSwitch.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] matthew33:
cheers mate...i've done that and smartswitch installed, but i'm stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S8+ Boot screen with purple writing in top left, which says...

"NAD: Passed

Any ideas?

Finally, a step by step for Alltel folks...Thanks. My head was spinning trying to piece together everything from all the various posts.

Terrific write up.

If you can, include where to find the MDN, MSID, and AKEY before upgrading so that these can be re-installed if erased...

Old roms don't work

Nice guide, but you should also note that older roms have a compatibility issue with the new radio upgrade. it seems right now only dcd's cooked rom works; for me at least.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
The information you are looking for can be found by using the advanced EPST feature in the phone. assuming you are using a stock dialer (or one that supports codes) inut "##778" and then press call. it will bring up a menue and ask to view or edit. If you are getting your info, of course, press view and if you are replacing info, just click edit. all the info like your mdn and min (which you should know without having to look in here) will be here. clicking the menu on the taskbar will let you choose an entire metric ****ton of info to view. a key is one of them. I noticed now that going back, my akey is not inputted. i dont know what this value is but in the past i think i have seen it as just "0" or blank. I was foolish and didnt write it down before the flash. if anyone has anything diferent in their akey, wanna post it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
update prl

alright so i think i solved the problem with the roaming issue and the EVDO connectivity. and i feel like an idiot. for some reason i just kept on putting off updating the prl since i flashed it. and for another reason i didnt think it would matter. but i have since used the latest prl and updated completely and, wouldntyouknowit, it works perfect. steps?

1. download the newest prl here.

2. bluetooth or copy to your phone

3. open the dialer and press "##775" (this spells prl)

4. enter your unlock code, should be 000000

5. click on update prl, then menu at the bottom then edit

6. browse to where the prl is on your phone (probably my docs if you BTed it)

7. update and restart, voila!

8. enjoy having EVDO and no triangle again! WOOT!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Total_Lag:
just wondering, after following through all those steps, do we need to relock it?

Also want to note that, this method does indeed work for all providers (alltel, vzw, sprint), it's just the step where you have to flash your rom (DCD's or any other) make sure it is the one with your provider. I made a mistake of downloading the Alltel rom when I'm really a Sprint user :x.

Have any of you folks been able to get OfficeSync to work with this ROM? I can surf the web but am unable to register with my account.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fly2279:
I was hung up in between steps 2 and 3. The screen was stuck on the Alltel screen and I couldn't connect with my pc to install the ROM. I followed other instructions to use a FAT32 formatted SD card with the ROM renamed to TITAIMG.nbh. Reset into bootloader mode by holding the power and camera buttons and hard reset. Run the setup from there... Hope this helps someone else.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
I never locked my phone and it works fine. So I am guessing no, you dont. And yeah you are correct it should work fine with any of DCD's roms, i just know the alltel one was a success for me, didnt want to lead someone astray. I know the telus one, for example, was bugged at first. idk
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bond00:
This is my first modification to my cell phone...just got it! Is there a setting I check to verify the GPS is working? I just looked around and all I saw were settings for connectiong external GPS devices. Also, when i go to communications manager...there is no setting for GPS. Shouldn't there be a way to turn GPS on and off? Thanks for the help!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bond00:
Ok....I don't think mine is working because I installed Google Maps and clicked track location and it just stayed at Contacting Satellites (0)...I think I may have messed it up because I installed the SPL first, then the DCD's OS and last the radios...i went back and tried to reinstall everything int he correct order, but now the radio ROM says it's not created for my device.

Is there a way to start over with a fresh install so I can try this again and do it in the correct order this time? Please help! Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] wallywallyv:
Well im having problems. I installed the new rom via sd card. Everything seemed to go smooth, but when wm starts up and goes through the align screen thing it just restarts and never starts up.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bojangler:
If you want to start from a blank slate you should be able to install a factory ROM and then begin again from there. It's my understanding that the proper order should be: New SPL --> DCD's ROM --> New Radio

I myself, when following this order, got stuck at the Alltel splash screen after I installed DCD's ROM, but before installing the radio. A reboot with the camera and power buttons held down simultaneously got me into bootloader. From there the ROM installer could recognize the device and proceed with the radio install.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] xweaponx:
If you click on the data arrow icon at the top, what does it say?

Mine says:

"Alltel Wireless (Dial-up) Connected"

I cant remember before what it said when connected but my download high was 497kps & 97kbps for upload. Either the area I am in doesnt have Rev A (Which I think is the case based upon EVDOMAPS) or my data connection is now hindered...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
I personally have not been able to reach an EVDO signal at all. in an area where i was always at EVDO, now im mostly shown as roaming and in 1x. I have most recent prl and my SIDs are correct. i think there is a reason this rom is still in beta.... ;)

Have you tried the *228, press 3 then *228 then press 2? I had the roaming indicator flashing with 1X until I completed the steps above...

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] corwinb:
Check my Reply in this Post! The instructions will get your phone locked back onto EVDO. Not sure what your problem is with the roaming, haven't had any problems with that. I would recheck the SID in EPST again!

Reboot into Bootloader by holding camera + power and push in reset button. Once you're at the bootloader you can flash with whatever rom you have. Just run the rom install from the PC with the PPC loaded into the bootloader. Worked for me...

Remember that the first time you click on track location in Gmaps that it might take 10-20 min. to find satellites. and sometimes it'll say couldn't locate or whatever but then if you click on track location again it picks them up pretty quick.

My gps does not work. I get a location on google maps but it is not anywhere near where i am at. The location is always about 5 blocks off. Also on the top right hand side it says looking for satelites it has never shown any satelites. I am with Telus a Canadian phone copany. Anyone here have the same experience.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Mills00013:
GPS is hit or miss sometimes. I never use google maps to connect to the satellites initially. I always use wififofum first. a lot of people use GPS today. There are a lot of softwares used to just connect to the sats first before you try to use a software like google or navigation software. the gps in the phone is functional... it just sometimes takes a while to find out where exactly you are. you might also want to try and get titan quickgps. it helps you get a lock sometimes...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] llance:
I'm confused

Okay guys, I have tried reading alot of posts here and over on ppcgeeks.com to try and decipher some of these talks. I would say that I am pretty intelligent when it comes to PC's and all Windows operating systems - just not these handhelds and PPC's.

I currently own a new Alltel Mogul PPC-6800, that I bought from eBay. It is stock. I would like to add the GPS function, I just don't understand this stuff. If someone could explain ROM, bootloader, radio, etc. and explain how all of this will affect my phone, that would be awesome. Also, can any of these processes render my phone useless? Will Alltel be able to tell that I have done any of these to my phone? This help would be awesome!! :D

Thanks you guys!

btw, on another topic. does anybody know of a good (hopefully free) program that will allow me to use my HTC as a modem? such as WMWifiRouter, except cheaper... i was reading about how WM6 has internet sharing, but i would rather wifi.

thanks again, you guys are amazing!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bored2nite:
thank you for the start

i really appreciate this. I googled 6.1 update for alltel and it brought me here...

Now there is an easier way to go about all this, and i noticed that your bootloader link does not work.

Anyone else looking to upgrade their alltel 6800 use the Wiki page for the Titan, and follow the instructions using microSD card and it will only take 10 minutes total to upgrade your phone.

Its smooth with DCD's rom, and if you know a little about your service (how to create ur ISP account (username: phonenumber@allte.net password alltel) then u will be good to go.

I'm not much but IM me if you have any questions

Have you reorganized the drawer? Mine were spread across multiple tabs.

On a side note, after updating things became very sluggish. So I uninstalled all TouchWiz updates. That cleaned out all my app icons on startscreen and the rest.

Updated again and organized it back to how it was. And is the same as before the update unless when you keep your fingers on the screen.

[QUOTEUPDATE: I got it to work, after flashing superSU, my phone wont boot past the initial white Blu start screen.[/QUOTE]

Try powering it off, booting to recovery and then wiping dalvik and cache.

The longest it took to get past that logo was 15 minutes. It is either encrypting or decrypting. Didn't get any type of messages until after root, and those were optimizing messages. Only one came through before rooting when I interrupted the boot process and that was about encrypting the phone. Phone was encrypted before root, now it is decrypted. Could have something to do with that. Try wiping the cache and dalvik after flashing. I actually flashed it three times in a row. The third was after mounting storage then flashing the SuperSu zip. Once you see the next logo with the colorful circles and hear the sound it might be another wait. That is where it let me know it was optimizing.

I must note:

Please use scatter file to Readback your partitions so you can have a backup BEFORE ANYTHING. I didn't and it led me to take this route.

[Blu Vivo XL] ANJIII:
i solved my own problem hahaha. just rename the file to mt6737t instead of mt6735. also edit the platform in scatter file. change it to mt6737t too then install your supersu with the use of twrp then wipe dalvic then its done
[Blu Vivo XL] smith901:
Good. I had to name it that because of the chip mismatch error. It was from the V7 ROM. The other two are updates. I also messed up big time along the way. My phone always read MT6735 but it does have MT6737T in different files. I always wondered about that. I got it to work without buying another phone.
[Blu Vivo XL] Alexis96312:
It seem that the phone boot logo never goes away. What should I do now?
[Blu Vivo XL] smith901:
Hope you Readback your original recovery and other partitions. I didn't and worked hard to get it back. When I just flashed the recovery and something went wrong, it reverted back to the stock recovery.

Try doing this:

1. Start SPFT with the reçovery you want to flash.

2. Hold down the power button. AS SOON AS IT VIBRATES, PLUG THE USB CORD IN.

3. Hopefully you timed it right and it will flash and boot.

Sometimes it took 15 minutes to get past the boot logo.
[Blu Vivo XL] Alexis96312:
Here what I did so far

1. Format using SP Flash Tool

2. Download /// By Using Scatter-Loading Files (MT6737T_Android_scatter.txt {From Rom}) Which it check all the boxes AUTO ///// It works but I didn't change the recovery.img like TWRP.img

Download it

It works normal.

___________________________________

But I want TRWP.img to be my recovery for root (SuperSU)

I try SP Flash Tool to change the recovery img to TRWP.img /// Using Scatter-Loading Files (MT6737T_Android_scatter.txt {From Rom}) I UNCHECK ALL BUT RECOVERY.IMG

Before this happen I didn't factory reset or Format anything yet.

It work to Recovery.img but THE BLU LOGO IS STILL LONG

I feel like it not working

[Blu Vivo XL] smith901:
Try flashing stock ROM, wipe data in stock recovery, then flashing TWRP, wipe dalvik.

If that don't work, wipe data then flash stock ROM with TWRP recovery, wipe dalvik.

The scatter file from the stock ROM gave me problems. Had to modify mine.

Don't forget to restore your IMEI afterwards since you formatted+flashed.
[Blu Vivo XL] Alexis96312:

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

I did try it but it seem not to do anything

Can you be so kind to upload the mod Scatter File Please
[Blu Vivo XL] smith901:
The one I attatched on the first post #1 is my modified scatter file. The mods included changing the size to the system, cache, and userdata. Just compared all three. The stock MT6737T scatter file and the V12 ota scatter are the same. The one I changed, MT6735, have the file name, platform name, and partition changes. I don't know why I had to modify it., especially the size parts. It all worked when I did that. I basically gave up on it because of a hard brick. Then I remembered reading MT6735 in some file a few months back while roaming the file system. Made the changes and was back in business. Maybe you need the stock scatter file, here it is.

It's what the end result of this post @ANJIII did minus the size changes..

He just did the name changes and it worked for him. Ya'll seem 180° from where I was.

The second one is from the V12 OTA update. It is very minimal, must be all that is needed for a scatter file. Not really sure tho. Hope it is just scatter file issues.

As long as SPFT is reading your phone, it's still a chance on it all working out. That is how I viewed it.

[MENTION=8372622]andromedaXVIII[/MENTION] Don't know if you got it working. This might be a potential solution.
