[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BrianLayman:
I went through the whole process and tried different roms... I can't get ANY satelites and Google Maps thinks I am either in Missouri or in the ocean south for Ivory Coast (really) but it boots and works. I did not have the 15 minute lag after getting my AKey but did before I got it. I did not have the lag in San Antonio, TX but with no further changes to my phone, I do have 15 min of lag in Austin, TX. I have this info because I did a *228 in each area. So it seems to point to a difference in the coverage areas.

Anythoughts on aquiring sattelite are welcome

Here are my notes from the backup process. They can probably be cleaned a bit more, but this is a basic process:

Perform a *228 to be sure you are updated for the area especially if you are travelling. VZW says you can get an AKey even when travelling as long as you've done a *228 in that area

Backed up using sprite backup

Used ASRDisp (Activesync Remote Display and jing to record all menues under #778 to a swf file for later playback and comparison

Moved everything I needed over to my XP machine updated active sync to latest and confirmed I could connect

Connected to XP

Pulled card

Performed a hard reset (two dot buttons and reset. Press R for Restore.)

Phone rebooted

Phone said initial programming required on the dial screen. I want to get it connected back up to the network so I programmed it

However the phone is not authenticated at this point when I dial any number VZW appolgizes and recommends I dial #8899. OK So to forge ahead...

Active sync didn't like that I rebooted the phone while connected to it and had errored out during a previous step. I rebooted the computer to ensure all was good.

Running unlocker\titaunlocker.bat

Followed steps closely. at the point where it says to unplug and replug after replug active sync doesn't see it as expected.

Clicked I have read and next. clicked I have done these steps and next(even though I am not connected through AS) clicked Update (saw Image Version 2.4.0) and clicked next, and next again, (waited) and clicked finish

Closed the window <-I could have sworn it actually continued to the next pause step on its own without my pressing enter but I might have bumped something

Copied NexVision_2.3.1_02_VZW.nbh into the ruu directy Listed in details to be sure it was the only one in there.

Ran the updater again. Clicked I have read and next. clicked I have done these steps and next(even though I am not connected through AS) clicked Update (saw DCD_2_3_1 on which nexvision is based) and clicked next and next again, (waited) and clicked finish

Deleted NexVision_2.3.1_02_VZW.nbh from the ruu folder

Phone rebooted... and stayed at the verizon screen. Disconnected cable... and went for coffee

Deleted NexVision_2.3.1_02_VZW.nbh from the ruu folder

Tried running titan_radio_3.27.00.exe with the phone own the verizon screen. No go.

Disconnected cable POWER-CAMERA-RESET took me to boot loader. Connected cable Phone switched from serial to USB all is good.

Ran titan_radio_3.27.00.exe followed the same ruu process as the last two steps Update showed Image Version 3.27..

Phone rebooted Oh good good good it is showing WM 6.1 and recognized that it is plugged in through the cable. I just wish the thing booted faster!

Did the *228 and after that the phone wouldn't connect. After 15-20 it did. I did some thrashing at this point trying to roll back but it was not needed. This is not THE dreaded 15 minute delay and will go away when you have an A-Key

Called #8899 THIS IS THE FRAUD PROTECTION LINE INSTEAD CALL VOICE SUPPORT (Dial *611 + Send or dial (800) 922-0204 their data tech support folks can't help). EITHER WILL DO THE JOB BUT 8899 WATCHES YOU MORE CLOSELY

Phone worked great and connected immediately

Note: I did a Sprite Backup Restore and this screwed my phone totally. I had to do a hard reset and the good news is that after the hard reset I did not have to call back in for a new A Key... Cool.

And yes this did take HOURS to do when I looked at getting my phone back to normal which is isn't fully yet.

Any that's my experience... now if only GPS worked after all of this...
