Radio 3.37.20

[Keystone]

vetvito on PPCGeeks has extracted the new 3.37.20 radio from the latest ALLTEL ROM 3.35.671.9.

I'm on a ferry now and won't be home for a few hours to play...

[edit]

You must use a non-SDHC (ie. 2GB or less) microSD card formatted in FAT32 with a cluster size of 4kb or less to flash the radio ROM Standard SD flashing routine of renaming the RAM TITAIMG.nbh and placing it into the root of the card There will be 5 pauses at ~14 seconds during the flash Using the USB RUU method will lead to a likely lock-up at 9%

For an easy way to revert back, here's a link to the 3.35.04 CDMA radio ROM released by Sprint:

[Hellion]

wonder if could flash on Sprint? i'll wait to see what and if Dcd does something with this!

[Keystone]

I couldn't wait -- after a very quick test of a phone calle, GPS, and data, all appears to be fine with the new radio. That's on a build of my kitchen based from the Sprint 3.35 ROM which is an identical OS build as the new alltel release.

I flashed via the SDcard method. Just be patient as there will be 5 pauses of around ~14 seconds during the CDMA flash.

[jr4000watts]

did you do the rom upgrade from the exe.? givin from the website?

[Keystone]

did you do the rom upgrade from the exe.? givin from the website?I said how I flashed.

You are confusing the official alltel update .exe (an exectable archive composed of multiple files) with this extraction of the radio from that alltel released ROM.

This radio is simply an .nbh ROM file. If you are unaware of what that is then I strongly urge you to read the XDA-Wiki.

[mshnayde]

Hey guys,
I had to run the official Alltell release, just because the .nbh file kept getting stuck and restarting itself at 8%.
Not that it's a big deal, but is there a simple way to get the regular Sprint start screens back?

Thanks.

[b0ris84]

should have done memory stick method worked without a problem. I just didn't want to flash alltel so i decided to give it a try and it worked

even though i knew it was coming from reading this post, man it always scares me to see a progress bar pause for an excruciating 14 seconds.

anyway, updated and it works fine here on Sprint!

[SyXbiT]

i wonder if this fixes battery life

[morganlowe]

well, I updated! Flashed via SD by renaming to TITAIMG.nbh All seems well on Sprint and DCD's ROM. Calls are actually a little better, the dead spot in my building is gone.

Edit:

All was well until I went to google...

That's awesome! Literally laughed out loud.

[sherv]

Haha, I had the spanish translation for Google as well, you can edit the settings of the page itself and change your location/localization/language within Google's page prefs.

Regarding the radio, here's a stupid question...is it carrier specific?

[azclown]

radios are generally not carrier specific....

[b0ris84]

if you can figure out the options you can actually change the language. I've had that happen 2 me b4 the update

[hoothrewpoo]

I got an error message that stated something to the effect of "your phone can not be updated". It was strange. It jumped to 8% complete immediately, then the error. I was attempting to flash via a dummy RRU folder I have. Anyone flash via RUU successfully?

[azclown]

I have a weird issue.... I can't flash via the SD card.... Here's a snapshot of my SD card info.... When I put my titan in bootloader, with the SD card in the slot, it briefly flashed a gray screen says invalid image.... then back to bootloader.... there's has to be something I'm over looking....

The first time I downloaded from rapidshare the file was corrupted. Maybe this happend to you? I re-downloaded and got the full file. Actually I was waiting for you to flash the xv6800 to see if it works, so hurry up!!! :p

[hidavi]

Can I flash this with an empty RUU? Would I have to reinstall the OS or no?

[hoothrewpoo]

Can I flash this with an empty RUU? Would I have to reinstall the OS or no?

apparently not. I attempted to do so, and it failed after 8%. I read on ppc that SD card was the only confirmed method of flashing. If you find otherwise, please update us.

[Keystone]

I've just added another mirror for the 3.37.20 radio:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DSLFN2WJ

[azclown]

well shoot.... I'm downloading the new one now.... maybe it was a corrupted file...

PS - On a side note, I edited the wiki for SD flashing to include a method of formatting your SD card using command line parameters in a DOS window....


EDIT - The link above at megaupload isn't downloading for me, anyone else having issue getting it too download .....

[indeo]

So -- What does the new radio actually improve?

Will it correct that fact that my GPS will get a fix for 5 minutes after a HARD reset and then not work again for days and days?

probably not - i think the GPSID driver is causing that.
(off topic) if you build without the GPSID package, your GPS wont die. but your battery wont last long either.

dcd,

What do you plan on doing? You plan on using the 3.37 radio, or you sticking with 3.35.04?

P.S. It makes me very jealous you're still enjoying playoff hockey, goddamn bruins...they get me all excited only to play like total ass in game 7 and let me down...

[Keystone]

azclown, here's another mirror for the radio:

http://www.mediafire.com/?xu4ezovqegr

Without issue, I've been using the new radio since last night.

P.S. It makes me very jealous you're still enjoying playoff hockey, goddamn bruins...they get me all excited only to play like total ass in game 7 and let me down...There are playoffs this year?? Canucks take the cup in 2009! :eek:

[azclown]

TY keystone.... I'm trying again right now....

yeah i went to 3.37.20. i think ive been seeing way more satellites = placebo effect

you can at least feel better that im cheering for philly in the east... you know they wont make it past montreal.

[azclown]

Dam thing..... Flash via SD is not working...... I format the SD card with Fat 32, 1024 cluster size.... The only file on the card is the radio image, TITAIMG.nbh .... Says No Image Found on a gray screen for like 1/10 of a sec, then back to bootloader.... Can we use the RUU to upgrade the radio??

[azclown]

yeah i went to 3.37.20. i think ive been seeing way more satellites = placebo effect

I'm not sure if it's real or not, but I'm seeing more satellites on the new radio.

PS - I think the Flyers are going to surprise you.

[kockroach]

nevermind...replied to a post, but it was already replied to.

[dcd1182]

What method did you use to flash the radio ???

i flashed the alltel exe straight from htc, then overwrote OS with my own before calibration.

[gbenj]

is there any way to flash just the radio? that would let me keep my os the way it is? so i dont have to work like i just flashed a new rom?

thanks

[hidavi]

I asked the same thing as you did gbenj and no one answered :(

[etexter]

Just copy the file to the SD card and flash that way. I didn't have to hard reset or anything after flashing the radio.

Steps are pretty easy and found on the Wiki

Format SD card fat32
Copy nbh file to the card as TITAIMG.nbh
Put the phone in bootloader mode
Follow the directions for the radio
Reset and done.

[MrTek]

Reading the Wiki, it said to format the microSD aith an Allocation size of 1024.

Unfortunately I have a 6gb card and could not set the allocation to 1024. so I grabbed my wife's i760 where she has a 128mb card in it which formatted just fine.

I put it in my 6800, started the bootloader, and it flashed succesfully.

It updated my radio to the version, I soft booted, and I did not lose any data on my phone.

are people having success flashing from cards of 6gb which do not have an allocation size of 1024?

Jef

[hidavi]

SO. Can I flash this on without erasing all my shit or not?

[DominusNex]

I didn't have any issues. I just renamed the file to TITAIMG.nbh and copied it to my SD, did a power/camera soft reset, the bootloader pulled it and I hit power to flash then soft reset and done.

I'm using a 2GB card which was originally formated as FAT32.

Haven't noticed any differences yet, but didn't really expect to right away.

Did you or has anyone been able to flash this new radio with a 6gb micro card. If so what did they do to get it to work?:confused:

[sprintrjm]

i tried using my 4gb sdhc card, formatting it via the wiki instructs.

I also tried using my 512mb card the same way.

Neither worked.

The 512mb card with the TITAIMG.nbh, i was able to get to the boot rom and it said loading, then it just sat at the tri colored screen with serial at the bottom for 5 min then i gave up. I tried this 5 times before i stopped.

The 4gb card never said loading, it just went to the tri colored screen and it just sat there with serial at the bottom.


I also tried to load it via the exe from active sync.

It seemed to be working fine, it went to the boot loader and then it went from 1% to 9% and then it came up with an error and rebooted.

I tried this 4 times then gave up too.

I am going to try downloading the radio from a different server, just to make sure the download was not corrupt.

hmmmm... :(

[sprintrjm]

I have the latest 2.40 olipro

I also have dcd's latest rom updated 4/24/08

:D

[sprintrjm]

The Mega uploader rar worked.

The first one i downloaded from the first page either is corrupt or it got corrupt when i downloaded it. Either way it worked..

I didn't post it for flashing just for hetalp

The rapid share file in the first post was extracted for another user to do something else. You weren't supposed to flash your phone with that file! Read the rest of the thread before you post a link to just a Radio before you have a whole thread of bricked phones.

[gc14]

I've successfully flashed my XV6800 (VZW) via the microsd method but with a little catch.

My 4gb microsdhc card did not work, even with a fresh format. Just sat at the bootloader.

I had an old 128 mb transflash card I used back in my moto e815, formatted that and put TITAIMG.nbh on that bad boy...worked first time flawless.

Weird how this is happening, especially to those who have successfully flashed before with their higher capacity microsd cards..

Just my two cents.

[MrTek]

Intereting enough.... I did not have to cal VZW after flashing this Radio Rom t reset my AKey.

I totally forgot to check that afterwards, as data worked like a champ, that I didn't even think about checking voice services. I just tried and I am able to send/receive calls without issue.

Thanks Key for the various download locations. Did the SD card method to flash just the radio (SD card method is my preferred method anyway and it is always flawless so i think we really should make a push to make it the standard flash method - activesync basically sucks most of the time).

dcd, I don't think you are experiencing placebo effect. We have been having massive electrical storms over here in MO and very low and thick cloud cover. Yesterday in my concrete bunker of an office I couldn't get a fix with radio 3.35 even standing right in front of a window. I loaded 3.37 straight after key put the
http://www.mediafire.com/?xu4ezovqegr post up and within a few second of rebooting I had 6 satellites locked - ten feet from the nearest window.
I think the alltel radio really has something going.

Jef

Jef, you only need to get a VZW A-Key when changing to a NEW TYPE of radio. Going from a non-gps radio to a gps one will mean you need to re-authorize, but going from 3.35 to 3.37 is not a major upgrade. I guess its like a windows service pack - they give it for free but a major upgrade they will sting you for it.

gc I have seen this before . It definitely needs to be FAT32 or it wont work at the bootloader even though other format types are ok on the SD card once the device has booted to windows. The cluster size is important too. You might want to check your settings when you format the card. I found that the default ones offered by windows were wrong so I had to change them.

I formatted my SDHC card months ago and just keep using it every time I flash. It still has all my other junk on it. I only change the TITAIMG.nbh in the root of it whenever I want to flash a now rom.

Yeah after it bombed out, I tried to format it again...this time making sure it was FAT32 with 1024 cluster...still no dice.

It's all good though cuz like I said I still have my old 128 mb one that worked fine the first time, and has enough space to hold an average sized ROM.

[MrTek]

Mac,

Thanks for the info on the Radio Rom version. I am glad I didn't have to call VZW again, though they were pretty cool about it.

What size SD are you using? I couldn't get my 6gb to set the Allocation size to 1024 on my laptop, but maybe I will try it again.

Jef

[gc14]

I have now successfully flashed two titans, one being my XV6800 (VZW) and the second being my coworker's Mogul (Sprint) with the same 128 MB microsd card. Both times flawless...still no dice with the SDHC...but oh well.

[760hacker]

:)I used a 2gb Micro formated to Fat32 and 1024 and it worked flawlessly on my XV6800. I also have a 6gb which did not work as you can't format them to 1024 cluster size.

Well I have egg on my face. I bought what I thought was a SDHC card but it appears that it is only SD. If that is the case it would explain why I can flash the rom from it.

So that gets us back to a more important question. Can we flash from an SDHC card? maybe Keystone can shed light on this. Key, you are the SD evangelist. Do you know if its possible?

[indeo]

probably not - i think the GPSID driver is causing that.
(off topic) if you build without the GPSID package, your GPS wont die. but your battery wont last long either.


Could you elaborate on this a bit? Is it something i can nuke out of the kitchen? Battery life isn't a problem, I've got chargers coming out of my ass

[Keystone]

Key, you are the SD evangelist. Do you know if its possible?I've never tried... I'd always been to lazy to backup my regular 8GB card, format it, and then re-copy the files over..

I just keep a old 2GB card about for flashing purposes. I've formatted that card with Vista's built in GUI at a cluster size of 4kb.

.....but....I'm willing to experiment right now -- to settle this once and for all.. ;)

[Keystone]

No luck with my 8GB SDHC.. I could not format it with 4kb cluster size and for flashing the phone wouldn't recognise it at a 32kb cluster size. All was fine when I placed the 2GB card at 4kb back in.

So -- to flash we apparently need a non SDHC card that can be formatted at FAT32 up to at least a 4kb cluster size.

[ebb]

....

Yeah, no love here with a 4gb sdhc at 4kb.

Anyone with verizon have this radio working yet?

[ml3000]

Yeah, i have verizon and i have it working. I just loaded altells update then loaded my own rom on top it. For some reason the alltel logo stuck with the bootup screen when i loaded dcd's 3.0.4 so now i have a verizon phone with alltells logo... oh well

Still dont really know what the big differences are with this radio. does anyone else?

[indeo]

Anyone with verizon have this radio working yet?

I flashed via microSD on to a 3.0.1 rom...using the file in the first post. And i never changed the rom or anything.

Works fine. Shows 03.37.20 on bootup. But I don't notice a single difference

[indeo]

also this is way off topic...but does anyone have the 2.3.2 kitchen? link is dead in the right thread but nobody goes to it anymore :cool:

[gbenj]

trying to format my sandisk 512mb microsd card, but when i right click it from my computer through the card reader, i click format, and the only options i have are:

1) capacity - stays at 483mb
2) File system - 2 options are FAT32 and FAT
3) Allocation size unit - which says "Default allocation size" and thats the only option
4) Volume label - which is blank
5) check box for quick format - unchecked

i understand what to do(FAT32 1024 cluster size) am i correct in assuming that my dell laptop will not format the card correctly if i just choose default allocation size? 1024 isnt an option...(im assuming cluster size and allocation size are the same property, am i right?)

any software that will format a card for me and let me choose the options?

thanks

i think the phone will read a file system with up to 1024 sectors/cluster. Or maybe more, but with a 2gb card i've always used 512 and it always works.

Have you ever used Pocket Mechanic to format your card and then flashed from the card and had it work? I was hesitant to try since it only allowed up to 512 allocation. Used the DOS window instead cuz I didn't want anything to go wrong.

Nope, never used Pocket Mechanic. Always dos window, 512 works fine everytime. I have a second sd card formatted that way with a bunch of different roms on it and i use it just to flash

My first time flashing via SD card...always used RUU before....can you have multiple .nbh files on your SD card and then select which one to flash? Or can only one .nbh file be on card at a time? Thanks

[indeo]

you have to rename the one that you want to flash "TITAIMG.NBH" the phone will ignore all files on the card except for that one

but you can have as many .nbh files on the card as you want

having problems trying to format...

the second "x" i replace give me an error that says "Invalid parameter - /f"

any ideas?

edit: took off the last two things u had "/x /u" and it reformatted.

copying radio and trying to flash now

[hidavi]

My battery life is twice as long now.

[bimmerd00d]

My battery life is twice as long now.

how long did it last before? I currently can go a day or two on it.

[hidavi]

It was 6 hours before the flash and 12 hours after.

[digitalmonk73]

Hey all, I flashed the radio from a 2gd card and all worked fine. I'll definitely test this out some especially with the comments on longer battery life.

[docjosh]

I've got an xv6800 on Verizon, but, like DCD, flashed the new Alltel Rom to get the new 3.37.20 radio. I then flashed DCD 3.0.4 rom.

However, my boot screen comes up with the HTC logo, then the Alltel logo. Bah! Any way to reflash and keep 3.37.20 radio, AND have DCD 3.0.4 rom?

(I did not let Alltel Rom's customizations run or anything like that...)

Thanks!

[gbenj]

still no luck flashing.

when i go into bootloader a grey screen flashes for like 1/4 of a second that says in blue "loading" on one line, and "no image file!" on the other...

whats going on?

thanks

you replace the /x: with the drive letter. leave /x -- it tells the computer to dismount the volume first for total access and /u makes the format unconditional (highly recommended)

[gbenj]

still getting that same problem, grey screen for a fraction of a second. that says No Image File!

gonna try downloading the radio again, cant think of anything else.

same thing happened to me

[roninld]

open command windows (start - run - cmd)

format /x: /fs:fat32 /a:512 /x /u

replace x: with the drive letter of your sd card

Renamed .nbh file to "TITAIMG.nbh" went to bootloader, and the device found the file and uploaded. Had to soft reset after it was finished and am now on 3.37.20 on XV6800. Had to borrow a friends 512 sd card though, as I have an 8 GB.

Thanks for the help!

[indeo]

true -- this won't work with anything higher than a 2gb card, as best as i can tell.

[gbenj]

sd card flash isnt working for me. is there any way someone(a higher power) can create an .exe or RUU for this radio, like was done with the 3.27 radio? i want this, but i dont want to have to run the alltell rom and then reflash dcd, cause i dont want to lose my rom settings/programs...i know i can UC and stuff, but its a hassle since im not an expert xml editor yet.

any possibility of an exe or ruu?

thanks

[lafester]

i think you can just drop it into any empty ruu and flash just like a rom.

the problem is this sometimes causes a hard reset.

i don't see any reason to switch radios until you are ready to switch roms anyway.

sd card flash isnt working for me. is there any way someone(a higher power) can create an .exe or RUU for this radio, like was done with the 3.27 radio? i want this, but i dont want to have to run the alltell rom and then reflash dcd, cause i dont want to lose my rom settings/programs...i know i can UC and stuff, but its a hassle since im not an expert xml editor yet.

any possibility of an exe or ruu?

thanks

Same as me,I can't do the SD way,I formatted the card as instructed and renamed the radio file to TITANIMG.nbh,no go.

[2kmy477]

i think you can just drop it into any empty ruu and flash just like a rom.

the problem is this sometimes causes a hard reset.

i don't see any reason to switch radios until you are ready to switch roms anyway.

good luck!

I did that,but but the phone restarted after only 8% completed.

this can take some time to figure out, but it's worth it -- it's deff. the best way to flash. i can understand trying to download it again. there's a chance you got a corrupt file, but the last time that happened to me it got partway through the flash until the phone realized it was reading dead data and hung up on me.

some troubleshooting:
what size is your microSD card?
what steps did you use to format it?
is the file in the root directory?
is it all caps TITAIMG.NBH? (may or may not be case sensitive, idk)

if you still can't figure it out, i atttached a blank RUU. extract it to a new folder, and drop your .nbh file in there (sometimes it has to be named RUU_Signed.nbh), and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

[indeo]

That's where you've gone wrong -- it's not TITAN, but TITA -- TITAIMG.nbh

After the radio upgrade,does the phone require hard reset?

After the radio upgrade,does the phone require hard reset?

I just did a soft reset, and when it came up, it was showing Radio 3.37.20. And everything is working fine.

EDIT: Yes ... Radio 3.37.20.

do you mean 3.37.20? That's the radio version we're discussing

[gbenj]

some troubleshooting
what size is your microSD card?
512 mb sandisk
what steps did you use to format it?
regular windows formatting, and ms dos
is the file in the root directory?
yes
is it all caps TITAIMG.NBH? (may or may not be case sensitive, idk)
nope, its correct
The bootloader changes to a grey screen that reads:

[digiblur]

I had no issues flashing this thing with a 1gb card.

Only thing I noticed so far is it roams a lot easier. It doesn't hang on to a crappy signal it can't use.

The second issue is I noticed it won't send text all the time. It causes the text message to not pop up in the threaded history even though it sent. Usually when I send a text I can watch it go from EV to 1X then back to EV. It just stays at EV and I poof my message is gone. Rebooting helps sometimes.

I'm going back to the Sprint radio as soon as I can since I'll have to dump everything.

This is really hard to say. If you r not boring, here is the story:

3 times format SD card, yes, use FAT32/1024.

File name? Tried TITAIMG.nbh, TITAIMG.NBH, finally, titaimg.nbh.

I actually read the other post about SD flashing using another model, in that post, it mentioned: hold POWER button, then press RESET. When I did this, I realized that it is the same as RESET, because I saw the startup screen with splash (sorry, not flash) logo.

Then I second guess I did it wrong, so I press RESET button again, then POWER+CAMERA+RESET. That's where I saw the different grey screen other than RGB screen.

Good luck.

[Keystone]

I'm going back to the Sprint radio as soon as I can since I'll have to dump everything.There is an already extracted file floating around of the 3.35.04 radio.. When we were first playing around with it very few of us were flashing via the sdcard method and the links to it tended to be pulled after compliaints of it freezing at 9% while flashing via the USB routine -- the same as this one does. I must of been one of the very few to have flashed that one also via the SD card method.

A search should hopefully turn the file up so that you don't have to flash your OS.

[edit]
No search necessary -- I still have the 3.35.04 CDMA radio ROM:

Come to think of it, I flashed that radio separately too, but did it with the very early instruction of using the ruu method with olipro 1.20. I'll give this a shot in the morning.

[maccaberry]

also this is way off topic...but does anyone have the 2.3.2 kitchen? link is dead in the right thread but nobody goes to it anymore :cool:

Don't dump everything. I picked up the 3.35.04 radio from PPCGeeks FTP site. Using the same SD install I can move between the 3.35.04 and the 3.37.20 radios at will. No loss at all to my installed dcd OS.

[gbenj]

still no luck for me, tried many times with card....not working

tried the empty ruu...gets to 8% then phone restarts...not working

im using a sandisk 512mb microsd. the only other one i have is a 4gb microsdHC, and from what ive heard that wont work(correct?)

any other solutions?

edit: bit the bullet and flashed alltell rom to get the radio, then overwrote rom with dcd 3.0.4
hope it all worked ok

[freeza]

This radio sucks.

It made my bluetooth headset stop answering calls correctly.

I'd press the "answer" button and it would answer the call, act like it was routing the audio to the headset, but nothing. I couldn't hear people and they couldn't hear me until i manually switched audio back to the phone, THEN back to the headset.

Reverting to the previous radio solved it.

[Keystone]

This radio sucks.

It made my bluetooth headset stop answering calls correctly.Between the Sprint release, the Alltel ROM included different bluetooth drivers that were packaged with this radio.

Though, I'm using this 3.37.20 radio on a build from a previous release (1.3.0) of my kitchen (with the Sprint driver set) and I have yet to notice any anomalies.

[ebb]

Okay- this works! To use an RUU with the radio, first go back to Olipro 1.20 unlocker. Then run an RUU with the radio nbh placed inside. Them return to the 2.40 of Olipro. So for those having issues flashing from the SD card, this is a solution.

One caution-- this WILL hard reset your device, so backup first. Of course, I'm an idiot, and not thinking that the radio alone would cause a hard reset, I did not backup. Oh well... on to reload and testing.

[MrTek]

FYI - Ok...I don't think it's the placebo effect, I am continuously getting 5 satellites, where I would normally get 3 for GPS :)

[ebb]

Yeah, I'm getting 8 sats sitting in my office 15 feet from a window, usually 3 or 4 at best.

Bluetooth worked fine with my headset, I'll try my carkit later.

I hope the scattered comments on battery life are true as well.

No phone or text problems (verizon)

[gbenj]

im not seeing a huge improvement in numbers, but it does seem to lock quicker and it doesnt have to be in the window anymore to get only 3 sats, now i can get 4 or 5 sitting 10 ft from the window.

im not 100% sold on a definite improvement. lets see what happens on a cloudy day as i usually have problems, when i cant see the clear sky.

[tavella]

I flashed the new radio via the MicroSD card and it did not cause my Titan to hard reset. I have confirmed that the radio version shows 3.37.20 on the boot screen. I appear to have a harder time locking GPS satellites now since I've changed the radio. I have flashed radios before and was expecting a hard reset. Has anyone else does this and not had a hard reset occur?

Copy the file to your MicroSD card, rename it TITAIMG.NBH. Press and hold the power and camera button while you reboot the phone with the stylus. I did not have to backup anything.

Well, for the sake of humanity, I feel like I should share my experience trying to flash this new radio. I have an xv6800 (vzw) and am running dcd's 3.0.4. I only have a 6gb card, from reading others comments I decided that I should not bother with it, and just use the method quoted above. I backed up with sprite, loaded olipro 1.20 (from 2.40), flashed the radio with the RUU, and all looked normal during the flash. It hard reset my device (which I expected), but what happened next I was not expecting at all. I was given the old "tap the crosshairs" calibration screen and while taking my time tapping them, the device spontaneously reset itself (soft)! I thought it was strange, but hoped it was just a fluke and that nothing was wrong. Splash screen shows that the radio updated (R:3.37) and it gave me the calibration screen again. I tapped the crosshairs (faster this time) and was able to get through the calibration quicker only for it to reset on me again shortly thereafter. Since I made it through the calibration screen, it didn't come up this time after the reset, but I still only had about 15-20 seconds until the device reset itself again. No matter what I tried, about 15 seconds after I got to the today screen the phone reset!

CRAP

I was able to tap quickly enough to restore my sprite backup (which I thought was odd, b/c when the phone was working at restoring my backup the phone went significantly longer w/o reseting - like a couple minutes). It restored my old settings, but still after it was all setup it soft reset itself! I didn't think to hard reset at this point, and wish I would have, but I ended up having to flash back to the stock rom/radio for verizon (I was now stuck with olipro 1.20 that wouldn't update to 2.40 when I tried) so that I could start the whole thing over again from scratch, that is, get back to 2.40 to load the sprint rom, to load dcd's once again. My phone is back to where it started before all of these shenanigans, but needless to say, I about pissed myself when I couldn't figure out what to do (i forgot to mention I also got stuck in olipro 1.20 bootloader once I started it with the power camera reset combo... not even the exitbootloader prog could get me out... only flashing the orig. vzw rom/radio was able to get me back on track again). -SO- my question for all of the geniuses out there is what the hell happened!? Is it the xv6800 and the radio not getting along (this is my suspicion, hence the spontaneous resets as if the phone couldn't handle it when it tried to use it to get a signal)? Did I do something wrong? I won't be trying again for a while, at least until someone with verizon can verify that it worked for them with the RUU method. Anyway, let me know what you guys think, and sorry for the small novel.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think, and sorry for the small novel.

The error you made was not to flash back to Olipro 2.40 right away, before you started setting up the device. If you would have plugged back into the usb to your desktop it would have stopped the resetting loop. On the exit bootloader problem, I'm sure you didn't disable usb connections in activesync as the on screen instructions explain.

How do I know this? Because the same thing happened to me when I first flashed the 3.35 radio. You can check my posts in that thread. So all I can say is try it again, and follow the directions for these things to the letter. It worked for me, and there was another post that verified it.

[ebb]

BTW, I'm having no issues with phone, text, internet, gps, wireless, or bluetooth. In fact, the occasional bluetooth disconnects that crop up seem, for the time being, to be gone.

[jinx01]

ebb: thanks for the info. i grew some balls and tried again. success! all seems to be functioning fine, no big differences noted yet.

[JerrytheGreat]

I took the same route as DCD, and relocked, flashed the new Alltel RUU in its entirety, unlocked to olipro 2.40 and then cooked dcd's latest kitched and flashed again. I've got the new radio and latest dcd rom. It all works great, and my gps still sucks...

Hi GUYS

I have a really old Radio Version (3.27.00) & ROM (dcd 2.1.0), and I wanted to upgrade to the new 3.37.20 Radio first, then upgrade the DCD Rom. Can I still upgrade using the SD card method?

I have only flashed my phone once, and the last time I did it was Christmas... so everything's still pretty new to me. I was reading some post about some ppl having their phone bricked when flashing the 3.35.00 Radio, or the Radio cannot be reversed or something.

Any help from you guys would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Yeah, I posted about this too. I'm on VZW, so I flashed the Alltel Rom and then upgraded to DCD 3.0.4. I've got the new radio, and the Alltel Boot screen :(

Another question: My GPS has not worked well ever since DCD 3.X (from 2.X). Could that be b/c I upgraded the radio via the new Sprint Rom and Alltel Rom without re-locking (used SPL 2.40-Olipro both times)?
And by GPS not working, I mean I see 1-2 satellites, but with low signal and can't get a lock with Google Maps, GPS Viewer, or TomTom6.

Sounds like you let the Alltel customizations run. If you flash back to VZW stock ROM and reload without letting the customizations run you should be fine.

I already had DCD 3.0.4 on my XV6800 when I put the alltel radio on my device. Been running good ever since. I would suggest just putting the radio on the device instead of the whole Alltel ROM.

There is a thread over at PPCGeeks on how to revert back to stock. Here is the link.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=21161

After you go back to the stock ROM I would update to DCD 3.0.4 and update the radio using the SD card method. That is what worked for me.

[mkrain]

I put the phone into boot loader mode before it reset. After I loaded a rom that was for verizon I was the Alltel splash. I doubt it's because the customization ran because I didn't even let it boot. I bet there is a splash that was overwritten and it's a matter of finding it and replacing it.

[docjosh]

Since flashing different roms leads to different splash screens, can anyone tell me know to add a splash screen to DCD's 3.0.4 kitchen? Seems like that would be the easiest way to work around this (and future) issues. Or, if I knew where the splash screen image is stored, I could make a new one and edit it.

I installed the new radio last week and today my phone is doing the same not working with bluetooth that has been described in this thread.

Between the Sprint release, the Alltel ROM included different bluetooth drivers that were packaged with this radio.

Though, I'm using this 3.37.20 radio on a build from a previous release (1.3.0) of my kitchen (with the Sprint driver set) and I have yet to notice any anomalies.

I am new to this. I am not sure I would be capable of doing what you did. At least not yet. I have been amazed at what I have been able to do. I have only had this phone (only had a regular cell & Ipac in the past) for about 5 weeks.

[92GTA]

I just read this whole thread and before I install this new radio let me see if I've got this straight....

I currently am running No2Chems ROM as per my signature with the latest Sprint radio.

To upgrade to this new Alltel radio I need to get Olipro 1.20 onto my device, then I can flash the entire Alltel image, ROM, radio, & all. After that I put Olipro 2.40 back on and then I can flash the No2Chem ROM back and run all of the Sprint customizations and I'm good right?

I'm looking at doing it this way because flashing the radio via SD is not an option for me.

Thanks!!! Alex

[1999TL]

You can just flash the Alltel rom. No need to go back to Olipro 1.20.

[92GTA]

You can just flash the Alltel rom. No need to go back to Olipro 1.20.

Sweet, thanks!

[ebb]

1999 is right, but if you just want to load the radio alone, instead of the whole alltel rom, then you will need to go to 1.20, and after the radio flash finishes, go immediately back to 2.40 before disconnecting the device from usb.

[92GTA]

Well I just tried flashing the Alltel ROM and radio and when I do I let the OS boot and softreset before the Alltel customizations run but then when I try and flash any of No2chem's ROM's, I still get the Alltel splash screen and they will never boot past that. If I reflash the Alltel it boots.

I'm reflashing the stock Sprint ROm and radio now trying to get this fixed.

Any ideas?

[1999TL]

Sweet, thanks!

no problem.

[ebb]

Yeah, that's reported above. That's one reason why I thought its worth the hassle of changing the unlockers. With the radio alone, that won't happen. You can also change the boot screens by using the ppckitchens.org kitchen to build a rom.

Even with those boot screens though, you may be running ok.

[92GTA]

Even with those boot screens though, you may be running ok.

I wish. The problem is it wouldn't boot past the splash screen.

I flashed the entire stock Sprint ROM & radio and it worked, then I tried flashing No2Chem's ROM and it hangs at the same place. Now when I tried flashing back, even though I'm in the tri-color bootloader and the devices screen switches from serial to USB, I can't hear the little sound the PC makes when plugging in a USB device and the installer cannot see the device!

Crap, did I brick it?!

[ebb]

did you try the "stuck in bootloader" exe over in the titan upgrade stickies at ppcgeeks? follow those directions carefully.

also: did you try to take the battery out and then hard reset?

Yeah I know about that but I'm not stuck in the bootloader, I'm stuck at the splash screens anytime I flash a custom ROM. It's weird because I can flash the offical Alltel or Sprint ROM & Radio and they boot but if I keep either of those radios and flash a custom ROM, they won't :( All the while I'm using Oilpro 2.40. I'm thinking I may need to relock it with the stock bootloader after flashing the entire stock Sprint package and then unlock it again. Maybe it's a bootloader issue?

Any thoughts?

Dang getting this radio on there is sucking. I guess I might just have to buy a MicroSD reader and do it that way...

Upgraded to this Radio using the SD card method. I have a 2 gig card and it worked fine. Running DCD's 3.0.4 Kitchen and didn't have to reload anything. Everything works great. Don't see a huge difference in the signal strength though. I did see a huge difference in the GPS though. I also see a huge difference in the battery life now as well.
All that and I didn't need to call VZW for anything as well. Got to like that.

The only thing I could think to try is putting it back in bootloader and reloading Olipro 2.40, I've seen a few posts here and there that sometimes it gets screwed. This may be why the stock roms are working, and others are not.

Exactly my thoughts. I have all the stock Sprint ROM and Radio up and running great, I just need to find the correct relocker for the 3.35 series radios and roms. I can't seem to find it. Then after I relock and then unlock it with 2.40 again, I'll give all this another whirl, lol!

EDIT: Reading your post again it seems like I am able to simply reinstall 2.40 from the bootloader mode? What file do I run in the Olipro 2.40 folder to do that? I thought the Titanunlocker.bat only worked from the device beeing booted with the OS?

EDIT 2: Nevermind. I just ran it from the booted Sprint install. Now I've flashed the Alltel ROM and radio and I'm running it again from that booted, them I'm going to try and install the No2Chem ROM to try and keep the 3.37.20 radio from the Alltel flash. I'll report back in a sec...

CRAP! After re-unlocking it from the running Alltel flash and then flashing a No2Chem ROM, it still stays frozen on the Alltel splash screen like the No2Chem ROM didn't even flash even though the ROM installer gaves no errors and all seemed to go normal :(

Did you take the battery out after flashing No2chems ROM?

[92GTA]

Did you take the battery out after flashing No2chems ROM?

Yes, and I also held down both shortcut buttons and hit reset to reformat the clear the OS install. I have to admit though that this last time I did not remove the battery. Crap, I totally know I should have. Alright, I'll try it once more! LMAO!

EDIT: JOY!!!

Glad it worked for ya.... :)

you would not mind describing what the huge differences were would you??

In case this hasn't been posted before - I want to let people know that I tried 2 different micro SD cards. I worked, the other did not. They were both non-SDHC, so I'm not sure why one worked while the other didn't. Both formatted the same way.

The one that didn't work was a Kingston 1 GB micro SD card.

The A Data 2 GB micro SD card worked.

I wasn't able to pick up GPS satellites in my house before the update. Now I can pick up a couple in my cement surrounded basement and can get a good fix upstairs. Before I had to go outside away from the house.

I find that if I use GPS Viewer - it helps to lock that GPS signal quickly. Sometimes, it helps to Open the GPS, wait a few seconds, Close GPS, then Open GPS again. Not exactly sure why toggling the open/close helps, but it does.

Got it no noticeable difference yet....thanks to everyone in this thread who posted there methods

I flashed to the 3.37 radio and installed Key's 1.31 ROM,everything worked great except if a call comes in and i try to pick it up through my BT headset,nothing was heard on my side and the caller side,I flashed it back to 3.35 radio and it worked fine,anyone knows if radio 3.37 has this problem on BT headset?

[mdjkim]

I've had bluetooth headset problems using radio 3.37.20 (with 2 different headsets). I could use the BT to make calls, but couldn't use them to receive calls.

I'm about to try radio 3.39.10 and I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
