Restoring your xv6800 to a Stock Verizon ROM

[Geckotek]

Here is a repost of my earlier posting on this subject. This will resolve your issues if your Verizon phone has been "Sprintized" or help you restore your phone before returning it to Verizon.

To set your phone back to the default Verizon ROM, do the following:


Download all necessary files 1) Titan Re-locker (ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Titan_Relocker.exe) 2) Stock Verizon ROM (ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/CarrierRoms/Verizon_Stock_ROM/VZW_Passworded_Ruu_signed/Ruu_signed.nbh) 3) ROM Update Utility (ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/RUU/RUU.rar)
Unzip/rar the Stock ROM and the RUU (unrar using WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com)) ****DO NOT UNZIP THE RELOCKER**** (it is a self extracting zip and will run properly as is)
Place the Ruu_signed.nbh file in the RUU folder
Hard reset your phone by holding down both softkeys, hitting reset, and pressing R (just for good measure)
Connect your phone to your PC and make sure ActiveSync is connected
Re-lock your phone by running Titan_Relocker.exe
Place the stock Verizon ROM in the RUU folder
Run the RUU by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe
For good measure, let the Verizon ROM complete its setup.


I'm doing this from memory so please let me know if I missed a step so that I can update this post.

I hope this is helpful.

What about the radio?

I mean just in case you want to return the phone to the original stock in case it is being serviced?

[scorch968]

The file that was linked in the above post includes both the radio and the rom.

Yeah I know that, but what I meant to say is at what step does the Radio get installed? Before re-locking it, after? or does it do it all in one like the New Sprint ROM?

It's all in one like the new Sprint ROM.

Asking another stupid question here but when you say 'put it in the RUU folder' you mean make an RUU folder on your desktop to run everything from or make the RUU folder on the phone? I'm guess on the desktop but I've been known to be wrong before :)

[Geckotek]

One of the downloads is the ROM Update Utility (RUU) When you unrar it, you will have an RUU folder on your PC.

Sorry, did this , still can't get data on my phone.
I am taking my 6800 with stock vzw rom to the local store tomorrow to get it fixed.

edit: It is our little secrect how many times I have flashed this thing!

If you successfuly flashed the stock rom, and let the customizations run:
Radio: 1.30.60
Rom: 2.09.605.8
Rom Date: 08/03/07

First do a *228, option 1, then CALL vzw tech, data dept, and tell them you "cleared the storage" on your device (hard reset) and need your “DMU keys” reset. also make sure your username and password in your #777 connection is user:(your10digitTel#) pass: (blank).

That should get you back on your data connection, and the store will just make you wait while they call in to get it done too.

Thanks Maccaberry. Sticky anybody?

This should be stickied. Along for a way to reflash all TITAN's to stock ROMS in case we need to take our phones in for service.

I dont know if DCD's kitchens will be stickied anytime soon because there is always improvements made and new kitchens are always developed. The thread would age quickly, unless we come to a point where we have a final version (with all issues fixed)

Yeah, but then you just unsticky the old one and sticky a new one.

Good thing about his threads is they are always at the top naturally so not as big a deal.

This should be a Sticky - I flashed the rom and it worked great. A must have
when some of these roms leave Sprint files on your VZW phone. Flash this
and all the Sprint stuff is gone. A must have if you need to be stock if you
have to take the phone in for repair or service.:):)

[chewbaaka]

worked great. sav0r'ed me

my phone got sprint'er'ized now its back to verizon ESPT settings. woop

For the password, it should be "vzw" without the quotes of course. I have done mine a number of times now.

Sorry for the dbl post, i think the username should be "your10digitnumber@vzw3g.com"

[zachahuy]

The link for stock rom is broken. Anyone have the latest link? Thanks

[gc14]

All of this information is available on the Titan Wiki. There's a stickied link to the Wiki, as well as a link in the Rom/Radio Compatibility thread which is also stickied. Too many stickies ruins a forum...just take a look at PPCGeeks ;)

Ok folks, I hav bricked my phone, and forgive me for being a n00b but I need some help. I tried to flash the ROM so I could use the GPS on my VX6800, but after making the change I could not activate my phone, nor could I keep a signal, so I decided to go back...hence this post.

Problem is once I unRAR the RUU and place the Ruu_signed in the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe I keep getting a message during install that the installer could not read Ruu_signed. My phone is stuck on the RGB screen for the relocker and I am hosed!

What am I missing....I already called verizon and told them I dropped it in the toilet, but if I can "dry it out" maybe it'll save me the $50 insurance fee.

Hellllppp Sooon PLLLLLLEEAAASSSSE!

My phone is stuck on the RGB screen for the relocker and I am hosed!If you can reach the tri-coloured bootloader screen then chances are extremely slim that you phone is bricked.

Start over. What bootloader do you have installed? My guess is that it is not 1.06 for a stock ROM, and you likely have Oilpro 2.40 for a GPS enabled third party ROM (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome). Flash to a ROM/Radio (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome)that is suitable for the version of bootloader that you have. Then reboot into the OS, make an ActiveSynch connection and then again run the relocker and flash to your carrier's stock ROM as described in the Titan Stock Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome).

Well, after doing the "walk away therapy" for a moment (which included an adult beverage) and coming back to try once more, it is now loading the RUU. I will wait and see if this works, so far so good, we are at 14%...it's amazing how things work once you let them sit a minute and just walk away. The whole forest for the trees thing....

I'll let you know how it works out, thanks for your quick reply.
