I havean old 6700 from verizon that I want to switch to alltel. Do I need to find a stock alltel rom in order to activate it or can I use one of the custom ones?
i say you try the altell one first just to make sure
but i think any rom should work
Now, at risk of looking like a total idiot (I swear I did try to search for it), does anybody know where I can GET a stock alltel rom or how to flash it (do I need to unlock it???). I have never installed a STOCK rom before.
Cancel that. Had to downgrade the bootloader from 2.05. Was easy from there.

Sorry I didn't search guys... But real quick, what is the latest Titan ROM & where can I get it? I'm currently running the old 2.14 ROM. What are the advantages of upgrading to the new one? Excuse my noobedness... lol
Oh, my provider is ALLTEL by the way...
Latest ROM
Well the latest TITAN ROM is Sprints 3.35 available at the HTC America page, but if your looking for something to work with alltel you'll have to go see whats been cooked up by folks like DCD or NEX....

You can save alot of time just by doing a search (at least try to do a search first)
Check the Titan Upgrades forum for all the information you need.
Thanks. I looked in there but I was a little confused about if carrier mattered. Thanks!

I really shouldn't do this since I'm a Sprint guy but it doesn't look like there is much Alltel help around here. The steps are fairly simple ( make SURE you double check on the upgrade threads)
1. Write down all your phone info (MSID, etc.) in case you need to reprogram the phone later.
2. Upgrade to the latest Sprint ROM (this is basically to get the new Radio with GPS capability)
3. Load SPL 2.40-olipro bootloader (Extremely important! - DO NOT attempt to load a custom ROM without this bootloader installed)
4. Load any Custom ROM you want (most Custom and Kitchen ROMs will have an Alltel specific ROM)
Enjoy.
(just to be safe, if you are running Windows, I'd do this on a XP machine.)

The issue you could have with that is that Sprint maintains a ESN database (meaning that they usually do not let you active phones with ESNs from other carriers on their network). Alltel does not do this, hence why you can bring phones from other carriers to their network.
I currently have a xv6900 and I have the "newest" verizon radio. I put newest in quotes because I have Radio 3.37.78 . I've seen other radios that are higher but they are on different Carriers. Can/should I upgrade and would it have any adverse effects?
Can you? Yes. Should you? not necessarily... just because the number is higher, doesn't mean it is newer. I would stick to what you've got for a radio unless a newer radio comes out that actually fixes or changes something.
If you're thinking about flashing custom roms, then upgrade. If not, then stay with what you got.
help with my internet didnt know where to post
so i have htc xv6900 from verizon. i have it flashed for cricket and the internet was fine but i love messing with phones lol so i ended up flashing my rom to the wm 6.5(sprint htc touch pro) and had to get a program to get the unlock code to get into my ##778# and the info is right but my data connection is not going through #777 which it was at first so is there a program or app that i can run to connect or sprints code or jus something to get internet back to my phone thank you sorry if i post it in the wrong place
I have a Verizon XV6900 also, same radio as yours and i am using custom roms just fine, didn't need to upgrade radio, but also i am not screwing with GPS setting either.
does any know of any good 6.5 roms for xv6900
Best wm 6.5 roms
You can try any of NFSFANS roms theyre pretty good and he has like a tutorial on how to install them, im guessing you have the CDMA touch so make sure you get the correct cab so you dont brick your phone.
yes its verizon
any links?
Here is his latest build. VERY fast and stable. Everything works perfectly. Enjoy!

help i installed it, everything went fine but when it restarted it just stayes on the verizon bootscreen and wont let me do anything
did you run the unlocker first?
first run
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
RUN THE 2.31 UNLOCOKER. NOT THE .41!!!!
follow directions on screen. then... your good to go to have any rom. MAKE SURE YOU PLUG AND UNPLUG WHEN YOUR SUPPOSED TOO.
then. flash the nfsfan's rom.
to check if you've unlocked it. put it into bootloader (power camera reset hole)
if you have verizon (you said it was verizon) then flash the latest verizon radio first im pretty sure its still 3.37.78 you can do that by searching the verizon wireless page and looking for updates for your vogue.
while flashing be sure not to let customizations run....... if you want to use the GPS in the future without going through hell to get it working again
then flash nfsfans latest rom

thats the entire rom though. so if you used the wrong bootloader this should fix it.
GPS
Not to start another thread, but I STILL can't get the damn gps to work. I have NFSFAN's latest rom. Still no GPS. I have followed every guide I can find. I have radio 3.42.30
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533639 worked like a charm
Where do you get this?
Verizon GPS setting Cab by NSFAN
Every time I click on the download, I get an invalid attachment specified.

Greetings all,
I used to have an HTC TYTN, and successfully flashed custom ROMs on it, although it required a lot of work. I recently purchased a HTC Hero, and am interested in rooting it, but I had a few questions for those of you capable of answering...
I live in Alaska, we do not have any major carriers up here except AT&T, so I have to use a local carrier called ACS - Alaska Communications Systems.
I wanted to know if anyone knew of a custom ROM or a way to set up a ROM to use that carrier. When I flashed my TYTN, I had to go back in and custom set a BUNCH of stuff with the help of another ACS customer who had a TYTN. The Sprint ROM I used set up things wrong - changed settings for data and such.
Secondly, I wanted to know if there is a way to root the phone without using a custom ROM? I've looked around briefly, but the 3 guides I've looked at all used a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance guys, and sorry if my questions seems stupid.
yea, you HAVE to root the phone to install a custom rom. So you can run a stock rom rooted. Someone else will have to help you with the setting up of the data on the phone. talk/text should be decently simple. MSL number probably needs to be set to 000000 and then a prl loaded for the provider you are using. Data will probably be a lot harder..
No, not yet. The problem is that it's using the older 2.6.27 kernel but it's patched for the known exploits. Keep an eye on the Droid Eris root status thread.
The Droid Eris is very similar to the HTC Hero and it's running the same kernel. Whatever exploit they find for root on the Eris should work on Alaska DigiTel or ACS versions of the Hero but of course there's no guarantee.
[Told this by someone else; new to this rooting scene]
Just to clarify... You don't NEED to root your phone to get your phone on the carrier you are using. All that is required is changing your MSL number and uploading your carriers PRL. Entering in the correct EPST settings could probably get your data working as well.. MMS and probably a host of other things will be a problem. NONE of this requires you to root your phone.
I thought Alaska Com sold the Hero...so its not like you are buying a Sprint one and taking it on their network are you?
If its an Alaska Com Hero - All of your stuff will work. However, I doubt our Asroot2 exploit works on it. I think the other Hero owners on networks other than sprint have been using the "gold card" method...and I have NO clue how to do that. I know you have to make a special SD card. But you should be able to load any of the hero roms since they don't mess with those carrier settings.
Search the sub-forum for GoldCard.
I wrote a guide on how to root with the GoldCard.
Just search my threads.
