Is it true there is no dumb questions?

I looked and couldn't find the answer, so I will go ahead and ask. Most directions say to

Step 1: Unlocking / Flashing Bootloader

Step 2: Flashing the Radio ROM

Step 3: Flashing the New ROM

Step 4: Installing the Carrier Cab

Step 5: Reprogramming and Authentication

The question is, do I have to load the official sprint rom before step 2 (flashing the radio)? If so why? If I do, is it okay to put it in bootload mode when the original HTC splash screen appears, or do I need to run the calibration and do the bootloader reset before the 3 second update? If there is a simple answer I would appreciate it.

Thanks

No dumb questions, just dumb people.

Not sure about WKTask being a crappy program, but you were absolutely correct it was causing the issue. I've never had this happen with the OEM in the PPCKitchen so I pulled that into DCDs and my problem disappears. My CAB came from the source of the program and they are the same version, but one works the other causes issues - Thanks!

EDIT - Found that the OEM that is in the PPCKitchen includes several settings that by default are not in the native install and that is most likely the difference.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] biggjimmy7:
Yeah I have a questioned and before I get flamed let me just say I searched before asking.... anyways so I have noticed that when i try to type a number and call that's not in my contacts the phone will continually dial a completely different number then what I typed in. It has happened time after time after time again. I have found if I call voicemail real quick it will work for awhile then go back to the goofed up way, any ideas, PLEASE?

DCD 3.2.2 with Radio 3.35.04

Sprint PCS PPC-6800
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
that depends. if you have already upgraded your phone and you are just updating to a new version of DCD roms, then no you don't have to load the sprint rom. just upgrade your radio and flash the new rom.

if you are upgrading from stock, then you should skip step one and just flash the official sprint rom. this will give you the new radio automatically and allow you to keep all your pst settings so you dont have to restore them. dont let the customizations run for the sprint rom (ever). when you get to the calibration screen, flash the dcd rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
i think you mean skip step 2, not 1 - he has to unlock the bootloader before flashing my rom, if he wants his device to boot...

otherwise i agree

splash screen update

On re-boot after the update to titan 3.2.2 is the splash screen HTC or is it verizon?

I followed the steps above and while loading the sprint rom it froze at loading os, but the CDMA loaded fine. I booted in bootloader and then loaded the titan 3.2.2 rom. When the htc was on the splash I went throught the calibration, the screen was the normal green screen but it was 6.1. I rebooted in bootloader mode before it could update. Am I updgraded or somewhere in limbo?

Thanks

Okay update. The bottom right hand corner during the HTC flash screen says:

P dcaaxam- 4350h

R 3.35.04

D 3.2.2

I am assuming that the upload was successful. Should I go ahead with boot and calibration? Waiting with baited breath :)

Okay last thing, I noticed that my radio was only 3.35.04 so I have updated it too. Now the bottom right reads:

P dcaaxam- 4350h

R 3.42.30

D 3.2.2

Can I re-boot and let it run?

Trackme GPS Tracking Tool

I am running 3.2.2 (it rocks) and I just came across this nifty gps tracking software that someone on Xda put together:

Trackme GPS Tool

It requires

Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5

and

SQL Server Mobile 3.5

to run. I was informed that 3.2.2 already has .net 3.5 on it so I just installed sql server mobile and the trackme tool.

I can't seem to get it to run properly and I wondered if anyone else with 3.2.2 was running Trackme?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
Just calibrate and use it. I don't see why you need to reboot, you are done. You are at the green screen that says tap to continue, right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] abigtrashcan:
Yes it does

Okay, it's going through the full boot as I type. Thanks for all the help. Everyone is gr8 on this forum.

Last question I hope.

When I type ##778 send the screen flashes then goes back to the dial screen. How do I update the Akey if I can't get to that screen?

I thought I read something about this but I have read so much now I can't remeber whats what.

Thanks

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
My guess is you have smart dialing installed. When you press the keys on the pad, you are really doing a T9 type thing, and its dialing the person whose name is closest to the letters that your number keys represent. Watch the area right above the keypad on the left. You should still be able to press out the whole 10 digit number and dial that way.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] abigtrashcan:
Amen

You guys are all awesome. I am that much closer to having my phone work, now I just have to get a new Akey.

Is there a way to view crash log or something?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
can you be more specific about the issue?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nFKT:
I just realized how vague my question was, heh. That is running dcd's kitchen.

Sure, I click buildos.bat, get the buildos app to pop up hit the green arrow to start building my rom, it more or less goes through adding all of the stuff and then that error message pops up. The machine is running Windows XP SP3. If I close the error message the dos window will pop up again and build the rom and I am able to flash it, however once I do flash it the screen stays at the splash screen and even removing the battery will not help it get past it. I had to flash via microsd card, so all is well now. However I would much prefer to use dcd's kitchen than any other rom or kitchen, so it'd be great to get past this issue.

I found a few corresponding posts on XDA, just none of them seemed to have a solution, or tell me how I can figure out at least which OEM is erroring out buildos.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
unfortunately there is no log for initflashfiles. you will have to remove your custom OEM's and add them in one by one to find which one is causing your issue.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] abigtrashcan:
Wow, what a difference

Everything is working so far and I can receive and make phone calls. My wife will be much happier now, you know Happy wife happy life.

This rom is fantastic. Gps is great. I can't believe I use to think that the kyocera pda phone was the best phone ever, well until the samsung i730. Now this phone blows those out of the water.

One thing I have noticed is that I did a pim backup and it won't restore, it says it is but no luck. Even if I have to re enter them all this is worth it.

Thanks again for the help and all.

Have a great night all.

Nuetools

Now i'm trying to cook Nuetools into DCD. (best of both worlds I hope!) I noticed others have talked about it. Which basekit are y'all using?

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/No2Chem/baseKit5703-pre6.rar

That looks like the most recent one I can find on No2Chem's ftp. If so, do I just copy

NO2CHEM_OEM --> OEM

NO2CHEM_REG ---> OEM

Thanks!

I had a similar issue with my phone. When I was dialing *2 for sprint customer service, it always autocompleted to *23, which I accidentally dialed once. To fix the problem, I erased the *23 from my call log.

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but just in case...

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] miguelfp1:

Guess I'm mistaken, that's what it said on ppc geeks :o
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
3.2.2 is NO way based off anything released by no2chem.

A simple check in Device Info will tell you that... CE OS 5.2.19960 AKU 1.2.2

The reason that it's free of bugs is because all dcd kitchens and roms are based off an official ship/test rom for stability.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] FZ1:
Count me as #4 with this issue, and it's frustrating.

I'm using 3.2.2's smartdialing and the Vogue dialer, but the problem's occurred with previous versions also (not sure when it started).

The problem could be related to those two items, sinced disabling smartdialing is the only way I've found to get the number I've entered dialed (haven't tried dialing all 10 digits).

The box above the number keys goes blank as I complete the phone number (since the number's not in my contacts), I can press the call or center buttons, but the closest contact is actually dialed. Too bad I can't reproduce the problem consistently, but disabling smartdialing always fixes it It happens to me a few times a day.

Forcing Roaming

Going back to the (short) discussion on roaming:

How can I force my phone into roaming? I checked under the phone services menu where it should be and it's not there. I also tried the reg edit posted about a month back and had no luck. Any ideas. Oh and I'm on Verizon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Americanmetal:
In the start menu, when I select either Programs or Settings, it will choose one of the shortcuts at the top instead.

I can't even get to the settings menu to remove the damn enlarge start menu crap.

It did this to me on the last dcd rom. :(

Only problem I have so far.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
an easy fix for this is just dialing the number you want, then hitting UP on the pad. dial a number that is in your contacts, and it will automatically get highlighted in the box above the numbers. if you click up, the highlighting disappears. same thing for any number you dial. if a list of contacts show up for that number (or even if they don't in your case) just dial the number then press up, then press send

DCD Hi

thanks for your wonderful rom I'm loving it, I would like to ask you about tcpmp when wm6.1 came out tcpmp crashed but you fixed it in your 3.12, 3.16, and 3.2 but with 3.2.2 its crashing again?, although a fixed tcpmp is posted in this forum which works but its not like the old one mainly the equalizer is broken and for music lovers the equalizer is very important, so my question to you is their a way to fix the old tcpmp so we can get all the features working. thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
DCD didn't fix those issues, per se, instead it was milesmowbray. You may want to send him a PM with the issues you are finding in the build he created. The link to his postings are here.

Here is his thread for the fixed cabs here.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cobaltikus:
wkTask is great in my opinion. I have used it for a couple months now. If you want a program to run without a taskbar button (i.e. ActiveSync) then you add it to the "Always Hide" list. Me personally I like it shown so I can easily close it (no need for it to be running all the time). Just hold your stylus on it til the context menu comes up and choose "Close". You can tap and hold the top right corner of the screen the bring up the wkTask context menu at any time and go to preferences and customize the settings to fit your needs/desires. Like you said before, the wkTask settings in the OEM in the ppc kitchen build os are different by default than if you install from a cab, but both have the same capabilities.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hoothrewpoo:
I'm not positive, but I think the silver are the "original" HT820, where as the black are the "newer" model. I purchased a pair of the silver HT820's for my PPC6700 in 2005. They were junk. Silver was the only color available then.

Just upgraded following these steps:

1) Upgraded to radio 3.42.30 using TITA.NBH file on properly formatted microSD card

2) Performed a hard reset of the phone

3) Flashed dcd 3.2.2 using the Kitchen and default options selected along with Entertainment, Java, Sliding Sounds but no custom OEMs.

4) Upon the phone booting the first time I immediately installed dcd Sprint Carrier CAB dated 7/17/2008.

5) Performed a soft reset of the phone

Problem is that SMS is not working. I can receive messages but I can not respond to them nor even bring up the new message window. When I get into the messaging area it appears as though the application is 'locking up' the phone because I can't close out of it either. Phone works, internet works, I can receive but no further. Any suggestions? I am probably going to repeat the steps above (minus step 1) to see if I get a better flash.

You need to install Arcsoft cab. Are you on Sprint?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
He's not talking about MMS, he's talking about SMS. Sprint customers can't use Arcsoft anyway.

Not sure why you performed a hard reset after you installed the radio. It's not needed.

My suggestion would be to reflash 3.2.2, install the carrier cab, soft reset. See if the problem persists.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
True, I asked about Sprint cause it doesn't work, as you said.

Sorry :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] djlenoir:
I just reflashed 3.2.2 using the kitchen again, immediately reinstalled the carrier cab (Sprint) and performed a soft reset. This time I went in and performed an IOTA (worked fine). I actually received a text message from someone, clicked on it and it goes to the inbox. When I tried to open the message though it did nothing. Again I could not close the inbox and I could not create a new message either. This is frustrating. No one else is having this issue, huh? I suppose I could try again with ONLY the default options selected... no Entertainment, Java or SlidingSounds. I will give it a shot... ideas are still welcome though! :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lvgdgts:
I had this same issue with 3.2.0. I tried flashing a cooked ROM with DCD's kitchen 2 times and both times could not send SMS. I then tried the .exe version and had SMS fully working. Later on I reflashed with the kitchen (wasn't thinking and somewhat rushed) and SMS still worked. Go figure. You might just do a hard reset and try again.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] djlenoir:
Thanks for sharing this. I went ahead and flashed using the pre-built ROM and SMS worked! I then attempted to reflash the phone using the kitchen and SMS did not work. I have now flashed back to the pre-compiled ROM and I will just download and install CAB files for the Entertainment and Java software. I can live without my custom startup animation. :rolleyes: Anyone have links for the Entertainment and latest Java CABs?

**Update** I tried it on another Titan that my friend had loaded with a no2chem ROM; updated the radio and then updated using the kitchen and that phone has the exact same problem where text messaging does not work. He can receive but not open the window to send. I have not tried the pre-compiled ROM but I am certain that is going to work. Could it be something on my Windows XP machine that is causing the problem? It just bothers me that I can't flash using the kitchen without this issue.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
I've got no issues using large start menu 2. Check the cab posted in the 3.2.0 thread by me.

You can always access the settings from the /Windows folder. They should be there somewhere.

Of course there's a hard reset option, though you probably don't want to do that I guess.

have you added OEMs to the kitchen?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] djlenoir:
No, I am using the default kitchen. The only change I made to it is that I replace the startup animation file with one of my own in your OEM. Just the actual .gif file. I am going to try to set up a clean Windows XP machine in VMware and try it again. Really stumped on this one. Awesome job though as everything else works great and is very speedy.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
I have an idea what it is but I dont have a solution yet.

You can verify my theory:

a) remove your kitchen folder completely

b) extract the rar again

c) edit buildnb.bat to comment out g'reloc as follows:

before:

echo.
echo Relocating modules...
TOOLS\G'Reloc.exe -doit
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

after:

echo.
echo Relocating modules...
rem TOOLS\G'Reloc.exe -doit
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

d) run kitchen again and see

dont everybody go doing this. for the one user having this problem right now, if you wouldnt mind trying this your results might help me isolate the problem.

Before you ask, nothing is different on my phone since back to 3.0.4...everything is exactly the same. Battery went down to like 9% by 2:00 this afternoon and normally i can easily get a full day if not 1.5 days on my phone.

anyone else have any battery issues?

I did with the last rom and did the battery tweaks from codyppc. I noticed battery life worse with this one also so manually checked the reg settings:

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms

Default value type and value are

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1

Change to

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Irsir1\Parms

Default value type and value are

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1

Change to

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1\Parms

Default value type and value are

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1

Change to

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms

Default value type and value are

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:1

Change to

“DisablePowerManagement”=dword:0

I believe 1 or 2 were setup already, I changed the rest and long battery life again
