Stuck in bootloader land

I am trying to update what was a stock alltel PPC-6800 to use dcd_titan_kitchen_2.3.2 using these steps

1. Copy down your infromation from PST (more below)

2. Update your Hard-SPL to 2.40-olipro

3. Flash new ROM

4. Flash new Radio

5. Reprogram PST settings from earlier if necessary.

Step one and two obviously went great as the updated and unlocked bootloader are present. I thought that step 3 worked as it took some time and things all looked normal "progress bar went through the motions" however after a reboot I seem to be stuck at the Alltel logo screen. If I do a hard reset I can get to the bootloader but I can't send any updates to the device as activesync can't see the device. I have tried to flash from the micro SD card but that has not worked for me or I have the wrong directions. I spent 4 hours reading all over this site before starting but I guess that wasn't enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really need to get my phone going again quickly.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
you need to manually enter bootloader mode camera+power+reset and then flash the rom, ignore when the updater tells you that activesync must be connected, it will communicate with the bootloader.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] brandonf:
That is what I was missing. I was simply taking the error seriously which I guess was a mistake. I am in now and need to find the EPST unlock code so I can restore those settings. I will now begin the hunt for that and then I think I will be good to go.

Nice kitchen DCD!

One question, are these the same BT drivers as 2.3.1? I seem to think that I read that somewhere. If so, I had much better BT quality when I was on 2.2.0. Is there any way to use those drivers instead with your kitchen?

I haven't gotten a chance to try bt yet as I've been traveling for the last month for work. Even still, I manage to flash my phone at least once a week :) I seem to moonlight as a ROM-flashing junkie.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] djlenoir:
brandonf: step 3 did work fine, the problem is that the new ROM needs the new radio to boot up. Hold the power and camera buttons in while resetting the device and it will take you back to the bootloader so you can load the Radio. Good luck.

edit: guess I should have refreshed before replying... I would have seen dcd already replied. :P
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
2.2.0 was unmodified BT drivers from 3.16. It was just what HTC gave us. It didn't seem to fix anything for most people.

The kaiser bt drivers were put in at 2.3.1 and have not changed since.

How to make my xv6800 go back to stock

HELLO EVERYONE,

I am interested in returning my verizon 6800 back to the stock rom. Is there step by step instructions on how to do so? This is certainly a cool creation but i need to go back to stock. Ive searched high and low but cant find anything.

Doug
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elgreek84:
I think you may need to flash back to your stock VZ radio, I'm not sure what number that is...also, search for a verizon stock rom dump, since they haven't released any official roms yet. I think that's right... I'm a sprint user.

Haha. I love the new first post on page one. It is sad but true that people do not read and just flash immediately. I have no sympathy for them.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
lol i was kind of joking, and if i was really pissed off about it i wouldnt be here in the first place. but i started thinking it must be my fault for not making it clear enough, so hopefully now it is... i guess i do have sympathy for everyone... but i also know how i learned everything: searching and reading xda for months. i had never owned a ppc before august 2007.

it does bring up a good topic though: the wiki

go check out the kaiser wiki... check out the wiki for alex's roms... the documentation is unbelievable. we need to work towards this for titan. i do not have time to do it from scratch... people need to start building the titan wiki and i will edit/contribute all i can.

anyone getting problems with wifi? mine worked fine with 2.2.6, but since upgrading to the 2.3.x versions its given me problems. sometimes it connects to my network for a few minutes then it just stops, i see the one antenna displayed on the top, but no arrows signifying that its transfering data, and in the settings, it says it cant connect to the networks that are saved, and it wont search for new ones either.

I always believe in reading twice and flashing once..... (Well I change things and reflash every day.... but....)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jpurv:
The new first post is hilarious! So true!

I don't want to rush you, but I just want to load your latest Sprint ROM. I don't want to mess around with the kitchen, I like the changes you've made. Just thought I'd let you know there's interest in this, in case you were wondering...

DCD. Thanks for the fantastic ROM. Everything is smooth!

Only one problem I have is that I did not see the VOIP there even I chose VOIP when I built the 2.3.2 ROM.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] FuzzyWuzHe:
This is a great rom ... nice work

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong ... at the risk of embarashing myself I'll post what it was ... ya know ... just in case someone else has their head where the sun doesn't shine ...

after selecting the things that I wanted in the rom ... I was closing os builder ... not selecting the build os button ... silly I know ... but when you do it like you should ... all works fine
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
I'm still looking for an explanation of the options in the kitchen. For example, what does selecting my provider do? If all it does is put the VZW splash up, can I leave it blank?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] elgreek84:
carrier packages have phone settings, mms setttings, text messaging settings, programming codes, stuff like that I think
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] brandonf:
I know I am the person that pushed DCD over the edge and I appologize. I did a ton of reading and nowhere did I run across a place that said to ignore the connection error and proceed with the flash anyways. I am a network admin and I have to listen to programs when they say there is a problem. Thanks to DCDs note I was able to quickly see what I needed to do. I knew I needed the radio update in addition to the ROM but it was stuck or so I thought when it came to installing it. My phone works great now and finally the bluetooth lockup problem I had with my new Toyota Prius has been resolved. I had gone to try and get a new alltel phone earlier in the day but I found I was still under contract so there was little is could do to get a new phone affordably. My only remaining problem is that my roaming indicator is on where/when it should not be. I have already updated my PRL.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
No I cooked the new dll into 2.2.0 and everything is fine.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
hey i didnt go over the edge i was half joking in the first post, and it had nothing to do with you. you dont need to apologize. like i said earlier, i think i was too vague and had i originally made it clear enough people wouldnt have had to ask. my first post didnt tell people to manually enter bootloader and ignore the text asking you to make sure activesync is connected.

as for the roaming indicator.. could you please check out the field test (/windows/fieldtrial.exe) and check your SID.. i want to know whether its the icon screwed up, or if you're actually roaming when you shouldn't be.

thats how WM6 voip is, its a system component to enable voip functionality but there is no application or control panel applet. try out schap's SetupVoIP, it will work for configuring WM6 voip.

I just installed this rom and so far its working great except for one thing. My contacts and any outlook related information won't sync. It was working fine earlier today with nochems rom but I needed more ram so I came to this one.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bbeckkt22:
Sorry for the long post but...I've read thru DCD's rom/kitchen forum and Nexvisions forum many times. ive had DCDs 2.1 and 2.6 ROMs on my phone. I currently have Nex's latest rom on my sprint mogul but wanted to experiment in DCDs kitchen but can't seem to open it up. Ive dl'd the "download" (under "kitchen:") from the first post, along w/ the "Visual C++ 2008 runtime". i dl'd everything to my C: drive. i tried just clicking on "BuildNB" which opens the DOS window and says "relocating modules..." for a while, then says, "Select options and run BuildOS. When BuildOS is closed, BuildNB will continue.” I then get an error, something like, "To run this application, you first must install... somethng about a .Net framework..." which is what DCD responded w/ "oh crap you also need.." which is the "visual c++" file in the first post - which I already downloaded! Then after clicking OK in that message, the DOS thing says:

Copying files…

Hey dcd, When I loaded 2.3.1 I had a huge power drain. I jumped back to 2.1.0 and I can run all day and only drop to 70% bat. I'm on verizon with a xv6800 and loving the gps. (Garmin Mobile XT) works great! Love all your work and I hope you have a nice dinner on me. I'm looking forward to a 2.3.2 clean rom.

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem with dcd's 2.32 kitchen, basically, I added a bunch of my own OEM's and now when I press buildnb.bat is opens up a command window and says "relocating modules" and after about 20 secs it opens up buildos but right away crashes.

I tried it without adding any oems and it worked perfect, but once I added my own OEMs it didn't work anymore. I'm gonna play around with it a bit but if anyone has had the same problem and fixed it. Let me know. Thanks.

And to DCD: Your roms are awesome, thanks a lot for the kitchen.

DCD: have you thought about including some sort of anti theft software in your rom? I'm going to cook one into mine so it'll be there even after a hard reset.

I took your advice and checked out the Kaiser thread and there is some incredible documentation there!

I also found the following thread regarding some anti theft software.

Hey, i was wondering if anyone is having the same problems with the ringer that i was. For some reason it will ring randomly when i have a call or even when i dont.

I did the ROM update on my VZW 6800 and everything works, except I've got the issue that's been reported a few places with no signal after a soft / hard reset - it takes about 15min to find the cell signal and start working again. Otherwise things are working fine. I did have to get VZW to re-authenticate it.

Couple questions:

1. is there a documented solution as to how to fix this issue?

and

2. does anyone know if I'll have to keep re-authenticating my phone if I do any future ROM or Radio updates?

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
1) Some ppl report toggling the M.IP Settings back and forth helped, but I believe most were on Sprint. It didn't help me.

2) Only if you update the radio again is the answer I've received.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
I bet they STILL ask
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rp3319:
I did find a thread on ppcgeeks that says to follow these instructions exactly: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667

I read those and used them as a guide, but ended up following the radio update instructions instead: 2.4 olipro, ROM, Radio, reset my settings

Hopefully I'll get some feedback from ppcgeeks site as to what specifically was done that fixes the issue. Guess I may have to do that and reauthenticate again.

PS: on VZW web site you can activate a phone online - anyone tried this to reauthenticate instead of calling tech support?

Thanks!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lllboredlll:
Well how about you try this.....first learn to either code programs or recompile software like these guys do then wait for awhile for all the people you share it with to start using it. Then start counting how many times you get asked the same question over and over and over and yes, over again. If it at some point don't get a lil annoying then you are either on major sedatives or your simply lying about it. I use to build programs for yahoo messenger related things and yes it becomes a lil cumbersome answering the same questions time and time again. What you should do it thank DCD for all the hours he spent building packages for all of us and then when you are done thanking him take the time to read thru the posts and answer some of the questions yourself to take some of the work load off of him. Oh ya, last but not least, if you're gonna use a 80's sarcasm, atleast add an intelligent punch line.

If you would have taken the time to read back just a few pages you would have seen this post from dcd (yeah the same guy who spent all the hours building this stuff for you to enjoy and answer your questions)....

And another search might have turned up that yes dcd was a noob less than a year ago and his first post... well no is was not a question.. it was a suggestion to others how to save 2MB or ram by turning off bluetooth id you are not using it.

dcd, the genious behind all the work, i need a favor from you. i need to know how to fix my phone. so a few days ago, i spilled a little water on my phone, it seemed like nothing happened since i wiped it off immediately. but if i do a soft reset, my phone goes to the rainbow screen, but if i soft reset with the charger plugged in, it starts just fine. the big problem is the fact that i can no longer sync to my pc. i have the 2.23 currently, i tried to flash to the 2.32, but i keep getting error 260 saying they cant find my phone, i have no idea what to do.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Estimated Prophet:
Ever since I loaded this ROM I've only successfully answered about half my calls. What's happening is that about half the time when I press the talk button, or the "answer" soft key, nothing happens. I'll press it 10 times while the phone rings and nothing happens. At first I thought it might be a problem with S2U2, so I uninstalled that, but it's still happening. Any clues? I'm running DCD 2.3.1 by the way.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
Then why did you post this in the DCD 2.3.2 thread? I'm not having the same issue w/ 2.3.2.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Estimated Prophet:
Thanks for this extremely helpful information.</sarcasm>

2.3.2 contains the exact same ROM as 2.3.1. Also, just because you don't have the problem doesn't mean that somebody else doesn't. If you have something helpful, then post it, but don't just waste space trying to up your post count.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
it does contain the exact same rom. the difference is that the bug in 2.3.1 could cause modules to overlap. this could result in any unwanted behavior, including your issue answering calls. could you please verify that you have the same behavior in 2.3.2- thats probably what it is.

if you do still have the same problem in 2.3.2, please let me know what carrier you're building for,

Anyone else having issues with 2.3.2 with PIE failing to download? I went through this entire thread and didn't find mention of it still being an issue but I seem to recall reading in a previous thread that it had something to do with radio 3.27 possibly? In any case, I had the problem with 2.3.1 rom and 2.3.2 kitchen. Downloads just freeze at random intervals.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
I could care less about post count. If you have issues with 2.3.1, it would benefit you to post your issues in the thread for version 2.3.1 to discuss it with other users using the same version.

Version numbers change for a reason. This is why I say I do not have the issue with 2.3.2, to let you know that your issue might be fixed in 2.3.2.

Now go update or be sarcastic somewhere else.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
Doesn't sound like a problem software can fix. I'd guess something is shorting out in your phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rq530:
so do you think the only way to fix my phone is to swap it, i cant even get the original radio or rom on so i can send it in for warranty work.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
I think if you format a micro-SD card to FAT32 and load the ROM into it, it will load from there without a need to connect to a PC.

Hmmm...but that won't help you get the bootloader back to original. I'd search for the instructions (their either on here or PPCGeeks) about updating from the micro-SD card. You might find what you need.

BTW, anytime electronics get wet at all, you should pull the battery and let them dry for a couple of days. Perhaps use a blow dryer on it. How long has it been? Perhaps there is some moisture still in it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rq530:
i know the drill when it gets wet, but the problem was that i was drunk one night and spilled water on it. i didnt know what i was doing, so i never got a chance to do that. my cap light is always on after the wetness even though when i type, it isnt caps. i think the battery is fine, and when i connect to the pc, it can see the device, but it says that there is an error with something.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JKingDev:
There is not thread for 2.3.1. When dcd makes a new minor release he just renames the old thread. So the is the correct place to discuss 2.3.1. The poster thought that there were no changes in the ROM between the two releases, so they concluded that their problem was not because they were using the older version. dcd has since clarified that while the ROM did not change, a bug related to module location was fixed that could indeed cause the problem. End of story.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
My apologies, I've seen threads for the other ROMs and thought I saw a separate thread on 2.3.1. In fact, I'm sure I did see threads re:2.3.1 but I guess they weren't DCDs ROM release thread.

2.3.1 and 2.3.2 are different. And if 2.3.2 exists, there are most likely bug fixes from 2.3.1. However, after reading DCDs changelog, that's not clear.

But like you said, "End of Story" and I apologize for pointing the poster elsewhere.

Startup Animation

on this rom i'm having trouble setting a working startup animation. Its my first 6.1 rom and i'm not sure if this is an issue with this version of WM. I set a gif, "startup.gif" as the startup image in the registry and it appears at first after my sprint logo dissapears. About a second later, or a quarter of the way through the animation it dissapears and the Windows Mobile green splash appears. When the splash dissapears, the animation image appears again but does nothing. I can't see my Today page at all, but everything else is accessible such as the programs menu and phone features. The only way to get rid of this is to disable the gif in the registry and soft-reset.

Does anyone know how to set a animated splash gif that is over the WM 6.1 default splash? Currently i'm setting it under HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/HTC/Startup Animation

Any Help is appreciated. THanks in advance
