GC if I upgrade my PRI will this in any way impact me getting gps with a gps-capable custom rom and radio version and still allow me to use vz nav also assuming the security certificates are in the custom rom?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] canoliman67:
yes, I tried via sd...even tried to go to the latest DCD, but I get a communications error, and it won't go either. Still stuck at the same screen

4 color, TITA100, SPL-2.07.0000, CPLD-9, witha RUUNBH in the corner. I won't allow any updates of any kind via SD or USB. SOme start and can't communicate. The Verizon "offical" roms can't see it as an approved device and fail.

DCDs just gives up after three tries with Comm failures...:(

Can't get out of it...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drellisdee:
I see you have spl-2.07 on there. Have you tried nue spl 2.47 unlocker which you can flash from a sd card? SPL 2.07 will not let you load a mismatched CID or non-signed rom such as DCD's.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
At the moment, if you want any kind of GPS, do NOT upgrade the PRI. If you flash the new update, do not let customizations run (this is what upgrades it). The PRI completely locks 3rd party applications from using the GPS.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] canoliman67:
Everything I read said you had to install it before hand, and run the install...

But I tried it, can't flash anything...Push the power/camera/reset, and all I get is the same screen...tried the "*"/"*"/reset,just flashes back to the same screen...ARGH...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
If you have the RUU in the upper right corner... that is the part of Verizon's update that has the new bootloader installed. Can you extract VZ's files from the exe... then run the RomUpdateUtility.exe manually? It should find the phone.. and update

Also, try using the TitanExitBL file found in the relocker and unlocker packages. If it's only stuck in bootloader... that may get it out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] canoliman67:
it says it was sucessful, but still have the same screen!...man...

So I then tried to run the Verizon update again....looked like it might work, got an error 328 invalid command, this update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drellisdee:
Is this an xv6800 or a ppc6800? Also what stock rom's have you flashed on it? That error is usually a CID (Carrier ID) when the CID signature from the rom doesn't match the CID in the SPL (the bootloader).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
can you try an update with the sd card? You can extract the Ruu_signed.nbh file from the update... Rename it TITAIMG.nbh... then do a Power+Camera+Reset... and see if it loads. That's the last resort.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] canoliman67:
I tried your idea a third time, guess that was the charm.

If you were a woman I give you a big wet kiss! FINALLY! Sorry but I have a dent where I've been beating my head against the wall, and I think I'm still dizzy...I really appreciate the help, I'm back in business.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

Can anyone who used the audiopara "hack" and updated to 6.1 today please verify if the volume is still acceptable?

I'd like to upgrade to WM 6.1 but I found the phone volume almost unusable before I installed the audiopara upgrade cab.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] winiden:
OK...so I manned up and did it. Flashed dcd's rom and it worked like a charm. Once I waded through the guides, got familiar with what's what, it wasn't that bad. In fact, I'll probably cook a couple different versions and try them out. Getting my GPS up and running as we speak. Thanks for the kick in the pants!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
Glad it is finally working for you canoliman67.

Tonight will be my turn to see if it will work. (I am scared).

Any tips I should know (to anyone reading)? I know back up my data and stuff. This update won't require a hard reset right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] antuus:
I flashed to this official 6.1 rom and the volume seems better (than the original vzw one) to me. I actually flashed to this version because 3.2.5 dcd caused my phone to crash a few times a day. (i used 3.2.3 for a good while without issue) I was about to go back to the 3.2.3 until I noticed the post for the official 6.1 so I went for it. So far, it seems just as quick as all of the dcd and there aren't any weird quirks. No I don't have my GPS, but the GPS wasn't nearly as reliable as I'd like it to be. With ANY of the DCD versions/radio versions I never locked on sooner than 4 or 5 minutes so it isn't that big of a loss. I downloaded the VZNav app but it can't be activated for my phone because :sigh: they haven't added support for the phone. (Funny thing is, it's installed and starts JUST fine, just not activated..) ANYWAYS... those are some of my reasons for going to this rom. It's also a good feeling to know that I'm official... for the next few days until the DCD guy has another kick ass rom coming out that combines the best of the official VZW update and his own modifications.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BrianLayman:
I just wanted to say to those ppl who are are on the edge of upgrading: For the record, you are still one of the cool kids on the block if you don't choose to flash this ROM.

You don't HAVE to flash it just because it exists and has a higher number somewhere in the file name.

Save yourself the headache. Stick with what you have on the phone you have, especially if you actually USE your phone everyday. What you have is better and in some ways newer than this release.

It's OK. You don't have to install it. Wait for a little bit and see if anyone releases some improvements to the kitchens and baked ROMs based upon what is found here. Unless you are sending a phone back to Verizon for warranty issues and you want to make it look more legit, there probably isn't a good reason for you to install this ROM.

Take a breath and just watch the excitement for a while.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
Agreed. I flashed and was probably one of the first. This ROM blows actually. Hang tight until DCD and GC make this a usable piece of equipment again and remove all the crippleware that VZW puts on.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mkenny2:
Damn GC I figured you and DCD would have released an even better ROM the same day verizon did........

Either Way as I said before I am waiting until DCD extracts the aGPS codes and creates the next generation kickass xv6800 ROM
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] segadc:
I just read the word file that goes with the update. Everything is great on my phone and I am not ready to have everything deleted (and having to reinstall everthing back). I do use my phone everyday so I guess I should wait for the store at least. LOL I keep changing my mind.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] x51:
Awesome!!... Glad to hear it! I really wasn't trying to push you.. but now that you did it.. you'll get all addicted and start flashing every other week when DCD releases a new version.. (at least thats what I do) LOL
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
Some initial impressions

So I flashed the new MR update - most noticeable difference is the decrease in storage memory - about 15-20MB - due to the larger OS memory requirement. This is pretty significant and is probably the only reason why I would recommend (if I were to recommend) not upgrading with the MR release, rather stick with the stock rom or go with a cooked rom.

Other than that - some really nice (albeit minor) improvements, other than the addition of RevA

Dont really care for GPS so thats not an issue for me.

Slightly better reception

Just as fast as the stock rom (and in my opinion, still faster than dcd's roms)

All in all, not a bad update at all - took a little too long (date of the rom is 7/21/08 for those curious as to when it was officially ready) but better late than never!

EDIT: I miscalculated the ROM memory loss - compared to dcd's latest version, its a loss of 26MB!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] symyn:
You say it is better then DCD's roms, yet it only yields 10MB from a hard reset. How can you run 2 applications at one time without the phone running out of memory?

I am sure that if you are only texting and not really using the phone as a PDA this might be acceptable, but for a true PDA phone 10MB of usable RAM off a hard reset is unacceptable.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
You are confusing storage memory and program memory

The program memory remains unchanged from the stock and is the same as the latest dcd rom (almost 47MB total)

The storage memory is how much room you have to install programs, files, etc. The OS also uses this memory. DCD roms offer approx. 169MB total while the new update offers only 150MB total. It is in this area the the new OS occupies more room.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] winiden:
No doubt...it really was easier the second time. Now I'm working on tweaking the GPS with the various fixes posted out there...balls quickly turning to foolhardiness I think lol
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] symyn:
I misread your post. I apologize.

How much free RAM does the phone have with this new release after a hard reset is performed?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
RAM: around 22MB free

ROM: around 141MB free

So with the MR update, you lose about 3MB RAM (program memory) and 26MB ROM (storage memory) compared to a dcd rom

The loss in ROM is pretty significant
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
I got 25.76 megs free ram. You must be forgetting to disable all the today plug ins. After diabling those and killing active synch I hit near 26.0 Megs.

Thats very respectable and as a matter of fact the most RAM i have seen free to date.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
This is STUPID! I called VZW and they dont support VZNav yet. I went to the local store here in Fargo and they were tapping dancing as hard as they could when I asked them to activate it. Even told me I was wrong and that its simply not available. Sent me to tech support. Tech support really danced then. Told me that the GPS software is not ready although its on my phone. They even agreed its all a bunch of crap.

Once again , thanks a lot for nothing Verizon.

Does VZW have a training department?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
Most of the today plug-ins dont take up too much room - I killed the few I had open and the memory didnt budge

But i did have activesync and one other program open - killed them off too, did a soft reset, now have 24.94MB free
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drellisdee:
Hopefully these LBS drivers and gps dlls can be of help to figuring out aGPS on vzw. These are from a dump of MR1. I'm hoping we can sniff the PDE server IP.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tcolling:
This may be a silly question, but should I do something to disable the extra software that the vzw rom update installs, the way that we did with the original ROM? If so, how?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] grooves12:
Can someone ho has installed the official update, and has QPST post a screenshot of the gpsone tab?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
If you read carefully, you can fix it if it's an actual XV6800 Verizon phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] fluidj:
Yeah, I had to do the data services removal thing back when I went from the 6600 to the 6700 and it was a painful process dealing with Verizon to get it done. I was without my phone for a week because it somehow threw up a "red flag" on my account which prevented them from adding the data plan back and even activating the 6700!! No fun spending almost $400 on a phone and not being able to activate it because of the poor logistics from the carrier. Maybe they've gotten better with that whole process by now, I dunno...but back then....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] nitro66215:
Don't do that process. If you have another PDA phone... You can activate it. I have an old Treo 700WX that I use to activate... get working... then re-activate the 6800. It fixes my DMU key every time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rajuabju:
So Verizon finally sends out an update, and it sucks like CRAP. I'm shocked.

No wonder it took them so long on the update, they had to make sure it screws with everyone big time.

DCD for life.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
well that sucks... anxious to try this out for speed and reliability even if cant use gps... but that whole PRI restore is just a pain in the ass.. not worth the trouble.

if you flash this new ROM and just restart before customizations will it run them every time until they run successfully? trying to figure out if there's a way to try the update without it actually running the PRI update
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Scott:
It doesnt have to be a PDA phone. I swapped back to an old LG VX9800 which is NOT a PPC phone. Didint even bother turning the LG phone on. 30 seconds later I swapped it back to my XV6800. Less than 45 seconds later I dialed *228.

Yes, it asked me to take data off because the "new" phone could not support it. Once swapped back to the 6800 it gave me a list of services I could add so I added data and all was well.

Why is everyone so afraid of doing this. I see moans and groans all over the place. Its SO MUCH faster than effing around with the ignorant and under trained techs at 611 and hell if you will get this hashed out a retail location.

This method was completely painless.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] deeznuts2:
x2

I did the procedure with my LG VX8600 - automatically removed the data plan. Then immediately went back to re-activate the XV6800 (didnt wait 2 minutes).

Worked like a charm
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] justauser:
Spoke to VZW

Well,I flashed the official hoping that they wouldn't screw us and let the GPS work. I had to call tech support after the flash to get the phone working because it wouldn't recognize the phone as being associated with my number. I told the tech support guy how leaving out the GPS was crap and how it made folks HATE verizon. He said "What GPS?". I explained that Sprint had the GPS on the same device. His response "It is all UTStarcom's fault, they supply the ROM".

Such crap.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
There is. Just flash the update, and at first boot, soft reset with the stylus right before the customizations start.

Registry keys locked?

I flashed to the official ROM and had to call VZW support to reset the A-Key as well. I also found that I am unable to edit some registy keys that I was able to with WM6. I have been trying to replace sddialer in the registry - \software\oem\voicecommand\windows\sddialer.exe with \voicecommand\program files\ms voice command\voicecmd.exe but nothing I try will save the changes.

Has anyone else run into this or found a way to unlock the registry?

I also tried to remove sddialer.exe from the windows folder and copy voicecmd.exe and rename it to sddialer.exe but still not go.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] drzip:
My A-Key tossed also.

My A-Key also was dumped in the upgrade. Calling #8899 was a first for me, but at least the second human I came to was competent. First guy told me to press 1 after a #228 voice-prompt, which doesn't exist. Up shot is that the second technician figured it out, and credited me $5 off my bill for our 30 min call on two Verizon phones.

Upon asking about using the GPS on my phone with 3rd party apps, they stated that there's still way too much "Red Tape", even with their own VZNav. So I wouldn't hold your breath to much for support there.

Not what you don't get

I am not sure its a question of what you don't get and more a question of what you do get.

I'm having difficulty flashing the update on my phone. It keeps locking up at 11% complete and then giving me an error message and leaves the phone in bootloader. I'm on Olipro 1.20 right now, should I be on a different unlocker or is there something else that I need to change before flashing this official update.
