Need stock VX6800 ROM Please

[madman34]

Greetings all. I made an error during the upgrade to the new 3.16 ROM and accidently booted back to the stock bootloader before flashing the radio. Now I freeze on the splash screen because my ROM is the 3.16 and my radio is the old stock, so I need the VX 6800 verizon stock image to go back and then forward, or a way to get the 2.4 bootloader back on so I can flash the radio forward. utstar.com does not have it and the sprint one gives a vendor ID error, so I need the VZW image, anyone got ??????Thanks

Put your phone in bootloader mode (hold power and camera while soft reseting). Now flash the radio ROM. It should work fine.

Because the bootloader got back to stock and it will not let me upgrade it again, guess it is stuck til i get stock ROM

[blazingwolf]

Then flash the new bootloader. You shouldn't need to go back to the stock ROM to accomplish this. However, the stock ROM is on the PPCGeeks FTP. In vboyz files.

I am a member there as well but how do I get to the FTP server you speak of ??

You don't need the stock rom.

Connect your phone to the computer via USB.

Hold the power button, camera button, and use the stylus to soft reset all at the same time, this will put you into the bootloader.

Your PC should detect the phone and it should say USB at the bottom of your phone.

Run the 2.4 bootloader self extracting executable and use the RUU to flash the bootloader...if the self extracting executable doesn't work, you can just extract the files and run the .bat file.

Once the new bootloader is on there, you'll have to get into the bootloader using the power button, camera button, and soft reset again due to the fact that you have the ROM on there without the new radio. (your phone will freeze at the verizon splash screen).

Once back into your freshly flashed bootloader, follow the same instructions above and flash the radio.

Done.

If you do decide to go back to stock, remember that Verizon's latest version is 2.09 (Sprint is at 2.17 or something).

Just in case I have to send the phone in for repair.

[madman34]

I have been trying all the ways you have mentioned for hours and with the 3.16 ROM and the old radio and bootloader it will not let me do the new bootloader,,,,,,,just have to find the 2.09 stock ROM, my only way out at this point. My login at geeks will not let my to the ftp server.

I know this has been posted in the forum here a couple of time but here it is again (though specific to the Verizon ROM folder). ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/vboyz

Something must be up....

There's no reason why you would need the stock rom to flash your bootloader....

Guess you can try it though.

I seem to have done the same thing, however when I go to reload the newer bootloader it freezes at 0% and I get the ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR each time, even when going through the "recovery" process it guides through.

Any ideas?

[madman34]

Well to update everyone on whats happening: The unit was less than a month old so the VZ store swapped it out for me, although I wish I could have kept it to putter with because I think I know what went wrong and how to fix it. First of all, I too had the bootloader fall back to the stock one and I got the error mentioned above saying that it could not copy the files for the 2.04 bootloader, so it was stuck with the 3.16 ROM, the old radio, and the old bootloader which causes the thing to freeze at the splash screen, and because of the stated incompatability between the old bootloader and the new ROM is causing the error at 0% when copying files. The reason I wanted to fall back to the stock 2.09 ROM was because I know it would load and allow me to go forward again. The reason I know is that I got the Sprint 2.09 from the utstar.com page and it went to 2% on the ROM before giving the 'VENDOR ID' error and stopping, so this means that it would take the VZ load if I could get it, but it is not on the utstar page. I did get the file from VZBOYZ ftp but I am pretty sure that it is not totally stock as it goes to 0% and fails, not even as far as the sprint ROM did so I think that it fails the needed checksum validation in the stock bootloader. If I had suspected that the stock image was not available in the first place, I never would have gone forward with it in the first place and would avise all others (Verizon units that is) NOT to do it either until a true stock ROM and radio load exist to put it back. VZBOYZ does not have the radio load so even if it passed the validation and put the ROM back you would have a brick because the radio load needs reverting also. Sprint users are lucky because you have this, and I will try again once I know I have the stuff to go back. Thanks for all the help and someone please let me know if the real stock loads do appear somewhere, probably will happen when Verizon releases the 2.17 update then the 2.09 for them will appear on the utstar page i bet. Thanks all.

this little bit of info helped me with the same issue. and my phone after 228 was able to make and get calls and also use the internet.

i now have the new radio and the new dcd 2.20 rom

I have since learned (After reading through hundreds of posts on this thread), that is WRONG for the VX6800. After installing the bootloader Hard_MFG_SPL_2.40_RUU_signed, I should have installed the Radio 3.27 Rom FIRST, and THEN the Titan 2.0 Rom.

Just to let you know in more detailed terms what I did to get out of stuck nightmare that is the Verizon white screen with the red letters and big graphic check mark on top:

(1) Got the Tricolor Bootloader Screen to come up. You must simultaneously: (a) hold down the power button; (b) hold down the camera button; and (c) use your stylus to press the little reset button in the hole at the bottom of your VX6800. This should pop up the Tricolor Bootloader screen if you'd installed this first, as instructed.

(2) Then plugged the VX6800 into the computer's USB port. As the bootloader earlier instructed, I made sure that USB was NOT enabled in "Windows Mobile Device Center" (should be in your start->programs menu). Click on connection settings and turn off the checkbox for USB connection.

(3) Then ran the RADIO 3.17 Rom loader (not the Titan 2.0). It loaded in Radio 3.27 without a hitch. The VX6800 then rebooted. It was not stuck on the white Verizon screen with the red lettering.

(4) Then ran the Titan 2.09 Rom loader. It loaded without a hitch. It then rebooted, and I was done with this portion.
