Verizon Carrier Cab

CRAP... No I forgot... DANG IT... I gotta go find it again... I think it got deleted from the last time...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] novafreak69:
No MMS

I downloaded the cab file from the link on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432487&highlight=NFSFAN's+Custom+WM6.1+ROMs

but The directions are not quite right...

NEVERMIND....I got it. Is there any other way to upgrade the radio without having a 2G Micro SD card? all I have is a 4G...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] novafreak69:
I have already flashed the NFSFAN's Custom Verizon v 1.15 rom... if I flash this Alltel rom and follow the rest of the directions... will I have to reflash my NFSFAN's Custom rom back?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Yup! You sure will because you will be doing a rom flash (as well as radio flash). The hard part is getting it unlocked, everything else is downhill :D

Good luck!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] novafreak69:
OK So I have this straight.... I have it unlocked with Coke 2.31...I have NFSFAN Verizon 1.15 on there... I am going flash this alltell rom.... do the SUPERCID....then flash the radio upgrade... then flash the NFSFAN verizon 1.15 again... and the radio upgrade will stay? When I reflash the NFSFAN rom... will that negate the SUPERCID for future radio upgrades?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Changing roms have no effect on the radio and vice-versa (that is unless there is a radio bundled with the RUU). The supercid is simply removing the security out of the radio and it is completely independent from WM.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] novafreak69:
I am pretty Sure that NFSFAN's custom Verizon rom has a Radio Built in...How do I reflash that without doing a radio Downgrade?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Look in the folder where you have the RUU and if you do have a radio in there, you will see two nbh files. one of them is like 80 MB, and the other I believe is around 11 MB. Simply take out the smaller one out of that folder and you will be set. I don't think that NFS' rom had a radio in there though, but just to be on the safe side, check it out.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] novafreak69:
In Trouble...

I did flashed teh Alltel Rom... did the mtty and the commands...

then flashed my radio upgrade... then flashed my custom NFSFAN ROM... and now I cannot get MMS to work... LOL... and my radio Version still says 3.37.10...

I have three different files...

What is the name of the carrier cab file?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Tell me which ones you have. I don't have Verizon, but might be able to point you in the right direction.

What worked for me

I tried several times following the steps on unlocking the SPL and installing WM 6.5 but was not successful. I have a Telus version p3050 version of the touch. This was done on windows 7 32bit version and was succesful on 2 phones.

1. Run the vogue unlocker 2.31 as directed by egzthunder1 in post #3.

Mine would fail to install the ROM update and just zip right thru to the 100% mark. Exactly the same as the video posted on youtube. The phone reboots and reload itself just like a hard reset does.

2. After the phone reboots do the usual stuff, touch alignment, time setup etc. The phone carries on and extracts all the telus crap as normal, reboots a second time. It is just like when the phone was new except the 2.31 coke loader really does get installed. When its finished rebooting I made sure that activate sync was not running (USB connections disabled and exited WMDC) and then put the phone manually into soft boot loader mode by pressing "power, camera and soft reset".

3. Confirm that 2.31 coke is displayed in the soft boot loader screen.

4. Then I ran NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM, you'll know that its working as the update utility actually goes up slowly a few percent at a time.

Hopefully this helps those who's phone won't take that unlock and update using the steps provided. I didn't do the radio as the telus one is already at 3.41.00

Also, the telus version of the touch comes with a 2.00 boot loader rather than the 0.40 one. Maybe that's why the unlock update wouldn't complete?

Still No GPS

I still cannot get GPS to work... Could it be the registry setting?

ROM version: 1.15 VZW (NFSFAN WM6.1)

RADIO version: 3.42.40
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Be patient... the only drawback on the gps for this device is that it takes an eternity and a half for it to lock on. Be patient and use something like VisualGPSe or HTC GPS tool to determine if it is working. Also, make sure that whatever program you are using, you have the GPS set to COM4 with a baud rate of 4800.

Good luck

aaauuuuuuggggggghhhhh!!!!

I first tried

Way 3

and also only got to 8% and an error 328...

so I went and bought a 2gb micro sd because my current one is a 4gb...

installed the 2gb card checked it and is is already formatted fat32...yippy...

moved over a 3.42.40 radio that I renamed to VOGUIMG.NBH and...

...

put into boot loader, yes with my coke 2.31... AND...

...

...

...

pop, fiizzle...

NOTHING!!!...

I can see a quick flash on the screen,, as it's going into bootloader,, that looked like it says "loading",, as I have tried this several times now,, and then I soft reset to exit bootloader...

... and wait for phone to restart and look in the settings at the radio version and I still have 3.42.30, my old radio,...

...

...

What have I missed???:confused:

.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Way 3 is the only one that actually worked for me.... Try to flash the Bell rom again and see if that helps.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hhp_211:
does the bell rom have the 3.42.40 radio??

.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I believe it has .50.

.40 was a port from the Tytn, so it isn't really a Vogue rom.

The link to the Bell radio is not working for me. Does someone have a different link?

I'm stuck on steps 11 and up.

I get a white screen for the mtty.exe program with a blinking cursor.

I type 'rtask' hit enter and get 'Cmd>', nothing happens on the phone it just sits at the bootloader screen(red, green, blue, white at the bottom)

When I type 'echo_on' or 'echo on' I get 'Command error !!!' on the pc and nothing happens on the ppc.

What am I doing wrong?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
You are supposed to write "rtask a" and not "rtask". Try it and see if it works.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
'rtask a' seems to work better than 'rtask' I'll have to learn to read better.

but, I am stuck again.

After entering 'rtask a'

The phone still displays the boot loader screen and the mtty program gives the message:

Enter Radio Bootloader

POWER ON PMIC VREG_USB : SUCCESS!

now I can't type anything on the computer. if I hit enter I get 'invalid cmd!...'

the cursor goes down a line but still I can't type anything

edit: I was unclear on the screen not showing anything. I thought the PPC would go black, not that ther PC would not show I was typing. It might be worth mentioning that the PPC will have the bootloader screen through out the process. Also, when do you let customizations run/when don't you?

I think I'm getting it.

I loaded the Bell ROM. I found it here: http://www.htc.com/ca/support/touch-bell/downloads/ (link from Barogi44), and just reloaded NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM. Is this all I should need for GPS? Is there any way to get rid of the Bell splash screen and put a Verizon one there?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
So, at which stage are you now? To replace the Bell bootsplash, you may have to ask the Chef to cook it for you. Although, you can try to flash vin's rom which should replace the Bell one. Also, I believe I saw an app floating around here the other day to remove the Bell screen.

Here you go

SuperCID worked, I have the Bell Radio 3.42.50 and the NFSFAN's 6.5 ROM loaded.

With the ROM I can make and receive calls and text messages, but not picture text messages.

I guess I'm at step 6: Enabling GPS

I can't get the GPS to work. I have loaded the HTC GPS Tool and can not see any satellites. I may be using the tool improperly, I leave the COM port drop down at COM4 and change the Baud rate to 4800, open the COM port then hit Nav. Int.

Thanks for the help, I sent you some Starbucks.

Any help/hints/tips with the GPS would be appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I got the Starbucks money :D Thanks!!!!!

As far as MMS, I believe that you have to configure that. There is a guide over at PPCGeeks for Verizon internet and MMS, I'll see if I can find it.

As long as the device isn't telling you that the GPS could not be found, believe me, it is working. It just takes a tremendous amount of time in order for get a lock on. Also, you have to be outside. You will not get a single satellite if you have anything above your head. Try it out and see if it works.

Thanks for the coffee :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] EJ25:
I did the same thing and have the same problem. I did run the Sprint provisioning and ran the cab. but still no internet. Everything else works great. Any help pointing me on the right direction is greatly appreciated
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Did you soft reset after installing the cab? (sorry but I have to start basic) prior to getting more complex :D

In fact, if your device was a Sprint Touch... well, the cab should do all the necessary provisioning (unless you have the wrong PRL too, in which case you should not be able to even use your phone).

Lets go back one step, what exactly are you flashing back from? What is the branding of your Touch? Did you have it on another carrier before that? Did you change the E$N? Give me a little more history on the issue so that I can better assist you.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
I tried to get the MMS working using the procedure listed here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3680840&postcount=3 That got me a bad user name and password for internet, so, to tried to fix that I flashed the Verizon ROM from step 5.

Now my phone says it needs initial programming. I called Verizon tech support and got a procedure to reset the mobile directory #, MSID and home SID/NID #1. After doing that the message went away but now I make a call and get a message saying unable to authenticate. I called them back a couple more times and finally one asked what the ESN #s were now I can make and receive calls.

Internet/MMS still give me the bad user name/password message and I get a:

Data Call Failure

Error Code : 11

PPP Connection Error.

Any ideas what settings I may need to change to get the internet/MMS working. My wife has the same phone so I can copy anything needed from there, maybe something else from the ##778 menu? I'm back on the stock VZW ROM with the 3.37.78 radio, is that a GPS one or do I need to use one of the 3.42.xx ones? GPS is all I really want, WM6.5 can wait.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] EJ25:
I have a sprint phone and before the flash it was running sprints oficial 6.1 rom. I unlocked it following the instructions on this thread and everything went ok, then flashed fsnfan's 6.5 v1.0. Again it works great makes and receive calls and txt msgs but no internet conection. Thx for the help.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
GPS will work on all radios 3.xx.xxx and up, so 3.37 should work ok. As far as the internet and mms, are you certain that you did not miss any steps? codybear's tuts are normally pretty effective...

Also, the internet settings have to be done via EPST as well (although the cabs usually solve this issue). You may need to call Verizon once more and get someone to give you the provisioning parameters (and guide you how to do this). Once you have the parameters, write them down somewhere safe and try to flash over to a newer rom (NFSFAN) and input them again. See if that works.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Try this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3680840&postcount=3

And if it doesn't work, try the cabs at this page

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=979306&postcount=1

Ultimately, you can call the people at Sprint and tell them that you are having issues with the internet (no connection). They should be able to walk you through it (all you really need from the is a couple of parameters for EPST programming)

Let me know if any of this helps..

What guide?

I think Verizon instructions from codybear are outdated for the NFSFAN rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3680840#post3680840

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=432487

I tried the method listed by codybear first, it didn't work. Then I tried the one NFSFAN listed, I could not find the mxipupdate_oem... file. That was when I went back to the Verizon rom and radio. Then I called tech support.

I noticed this morning that even though i could make and receive calls it said I was roaming and had the delta symbol. I spent two hours at the Verizon store today, they took care of the roaming thing and the bad user name/password error for the MMS/internet, but I still get the PPP one. They gave me a ticket number and will be in contact by the 4th of Feb.

For the EPST settings I have my wifes Vogue I can look at. What settings would I need to look at/copy? The PPP error I'm getting is probably related to the security settings on the EPST menu. It has five fields, three are set to the phone number, I reset these on the new phone. Two of the fields are for passwords one is for PPP... The passwords in my wifes phone are symbols and I have no way to enter them on my phone so it has blank spaces and no passwords.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
I ended up activating my wifes phone with my phone number and copying most of the EPST settings onto my phone. I reinstalled the NFSFAN rom and followed all of the instructions he had posted. For MMS I followed the directions from NFSFAN that I posted above but I skipped the step of deleting my connections and just imported the file instead.

Now my internet and MMS both work. Verizons tech support was pretty worthless for me, the first person I talked to on the phone had me play with some of the EPST settings which helped a little and got me pointed in the right direction but the rest of them were a total waste of time, can I get thase 3 hours of my life back?

I'm still not sure about the GPS. I'll play more with it today. When you say it takes a long time to get a lock what do you mean? 2min, 5min, 10 or more min? Even without a lock shouldn't I see some satelites? I'm now using the Gps Viewer V1.5 that comes in NFSFANS rom. What are the options for? Power save, WAAS/EGNOS, Hot Start, Cold Start and Warm Start.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
GPS Viewer is supposed to at least show you the satellites. If there is a fix for GPS (a couple of reg entries from what I understand), it should already be cooked into NFSFAN's rom (I know that first hand...). Remember, you need to be outside. It took my GPS about 15 minutes to get a lock on the first time I used it.

List of recommended apps?

With interest and some trepidation have I been following this thread. I've a Sprint Touch with a cracked LCD screen, awaiting repair, after which, I'd like to get the WM 6.5 ROM on there, and put some great apps on it. (BTW, any one have a recommendation for an inexpensive source for a screen? I'm looking at $49 from Repairs Universe).

Anyway, is there a list of good (free) apps that are especially good for the Touch? Specifically, I found the following a little weak with the stock WM 6.1 ROM:

* Weather (HTC's city selection model is, um, less than useful; an auto-detect, like in the Hero, would be fantastic)

* Clock (The home screen old-school LED clock is pretty unappealing. I think I saw someone with the Pro clock on his Touch. *Much* nicer.)

* GPS performance (Any improvements here?)

* MMS messaging (Is this available with WM 6.5?)

* Voice command (The stock voice recognition on my old Sprint Moto Q is great. The Touch? Less so.)

* Media player (Is WM6.5's a lot better than 6.1? Or are folks recommending a third-party?)

* Any other must-haves?

Thanks. Lots of coffee when I get this working.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Let me answer all of these one by one

* Weather (HTC's city selection model is, um, less than useful; an auto-detect, like in the Hero, would be fantastic)

Ans: M2D does a pretty good job on the weather. Since you also get City editor (a free app as well), you can add whatever city you want.

* Clock (The home screen old-school LED clock is pretty unappealing. I think I saw someone with the Pro clock on his Touch. *Much* nicer.)

Ans: Same as above. M2D (at least the newest version) has the flip clock that you see in the Touch Pro as well as weather in the front tab. It isn't animated, but it works.

* GPS performance (Any improvements here?)

Ans: Not that I know of.... I wish there were though.

* MMS messaging (Is this available with WM 6.5?)

Ans: Yes

* Voice command (The stock voice recognition on my old Sprint Moto Q is great. The Touch? Less so.)

Ans: M$ Voice command is not bad, but honestly I haven't used it in years.

* Media player (Is WM6.5's a lot better than 6.1? Or are folks recommending a third-party?)

Ans: I honestly don't use WMP since I honestly believe it sucks. Anything will be better. As for movies, try TCPMP, which will play almost anything and with good quality too! For music, if you like the iphone type of app, S2P is a great player. Also, Mortplayer, Kinoma and Nitrogen come to mind, but I have not used them much.

* Any other must-haves?

Ans: It really depends on what you use your device for. I personally go with PocketCM for my contacts app (since even though it is improved, the WM one sucks badly). Also, S2U2 is really good for preventing your device from waking up in your pocket. Other than that, it is really personal choice. For instance, I cannot be without a reg editor in my devices, but that is just me.

Thanks. Lots of coffee when I get this working.

Ans: Looking forward to this.

As far as the screen, try eBay or the xda marketplace. You might find something there.

As soon as the Touch screen gets here (ordered from cnn.cn with 20% discount and free shipping), I'll flash and try out those apps (and send coffee).

Alright, I'm following the steps and really don't want to break my phone.

I think I unlocked it properly. I can get into the tri coloured boot loader that says SPL-2.31.coke anyway. Does that mean I unlocked it properly?

Now I want to flash. The guide says to put it into bootloader mode. I do this. So it's on the three coloured screen and then I run RomUpgradeUtility like it says. But:

First of all it says that I should sync it with active sync...I don't know how I'm supposed to do that when I'm in bootloader mode....

Second, if I click I understand and continue then it says it's trying to verify my pda or something and then spits back a connection error 260.

Could anyone give me a word of advice?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:

Forget about the bootloader mode. Get it to connect to ActiveSync and run the RUU. I don't know why so many people are having issues with this. I flashed mine this way a million times without a problem.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
Your opening post says to follow the steps to the T or risk bricking your device.

Putting it in bootloader is step 3 of step 3.

It had me wondering too.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Hey scotttr,

In reality, the RUU will put your device in bootloader mode once it starts up, so it really doesn't make any difference whether you do it beforehand or not. I am not sure how long have you been around HTC devices for, but for older devices like the Blue Angel, you have to put the device in bootloader prior to starting up the RUU or else the app will not work (connection error). For newer devices, it doesn't really make a difference though... (or at least it shouldn't). Now, why have people in this site have had so much trouble with this is beyond me... but hey, that is what I am here for... to help out those in need :)
