Hey I'm running an HTC 6800 with Bell. The problem i'm facing is that i accidentally flashed my phone with a verizon radio file, and now everytime i use my phone i get charged for international calling even when i'm sitting in my own room. I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall that radio file, or replace it with a bell one so its local again. i did try a simple installation of the bell radio over the verizon one, but it didn't work. This issue is really getting to me now...
Thanks in advance

you have to flash your phone back to the stock rom and radio, then update again using the correct carrier.
oh sweet! thank you. I will confirm once ive gone through the process.
Hey thanks a lot man. I was out of the country for a while so i couldn't try the process until 10 minutes ago. And it worked great.
thanks again.

Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?
Did you follow the instructions here?

I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.
Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.
telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone

Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.
Hey folks, here from the Herald forums for a friend of mine. What has happened is this, I went ahead and flashed his phone from the stock WinMo 6.1 to NSFAN's 6.5 version 13. Now before I did this he of course had data capability, but now for the life of me I cant get them working again. I applied the Sprint provisioning cab from the ROM thread, aswell as following the instructions per this thread here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-410357.html), and neither of them work. So my question is this, can either someone point me to a thread with the exact settings or instructions on how to get the data settings for Sprint that will work under WinMo 6.5. Thanks much!
Device-Sprint HTC Touch circa 2008
ROM-NSFAN's custom WM6.5 version 13
HardSPL'd or whatever it is you do to CDMA devices...yeah sorry im used to GSM stuff so I dunno what you all do. But I followed Cokeguy's guide to unlock the CID I believe so I guess thats as close to HardSPL as you get on this thing heh.
And of course application unlocked.
Try not using any provisioning CABs. Just flash the ROM and see if it works from there (works fine for me and I am using a Vogue on Sprint).
Well that was my first thought, and I both hard reset and re-flashed and I still got nothing. However, I went back to the stock Sprint ROM, and then re-flashed and everything is cherry now...I don't really understand why...but it is. Thanks for the reply anyways!
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

Thanks.
Just popping in, someone will help you out more in depth, but it does not matter which order you do it in BUT....you may want to try the ROM on your old radio to start.
Flashing radios can be dangerous, and their performances vary depending on your location. If after flashing your new rom you have poor signal or battery life, then flash a radio using the instructions in the radio thread. But if everything is peachy keen, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I have recently flashed this same rom you want to, but came from mexdroid. The way I see it with flashing radios is if it's from T-Mo (and if you're on t-mo) then the update would include the radio anyway if the new radio came with the new update.
I flashed the radio first, but in my experience it doesn't matter. The newest official T-Mo radio is "Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19" and download the zip file. To install, rename it to PC10IMG.zip and put on root of SD card. Then hold the down volume button while turning on the phone and follow the prompt from there. This is the safest way to update the radio.
So far, in this build with this radio the time the radio is in use is far less than usual and battery life rocks.
I 'm running the pre-rooted OTA 2.15.531.3 ROM but left my radio at the 26.03.02.26_M as the phone came (with the original Froyo ROM). It works, but ever since the upgrade, my conversation partners experience the annoying echo on their end (they hear their own voice delayed).
Similar issues were reported by others but so far, nothing I tried fixed the issue.
I now think this is due to the older radio not matching some settings in the new ROM. I never had this with the Froyo ROM.
Also, when I'm using WiFi calling, the echo is not there which further points to the radio as the culprit.
The interesting thing is that whenever I'm in a noisy environment (like when in a restaurant, mall etc.), the problem is not present but in quiet environments it's always there.
So I'm also thinking about flashing the radio and hope that the problem gets fixed... I'm just nervous to do it and eventually mess up the phone. After all, other than this, everything works perfectly...
I'm not even sure which radio should I pick from that other post. Should I just go with the latest T_MOBILE OTA 2.16.531.5 radio even though my ROM version is lower? I don't necessarily want to upgrade the ROM and deal with customizing the phone again (yes, I know Titanium Backup helps, but there is still work left after that).
If upgrading from stock rooted to the new ota rooted rom its ok and best to undate the radio to since they Booth were part of the update and work well together and so u can take more advantage of the better power management .. and yes battery did improve with new ota and radio

That is exactly the way I look at it as well. I've only updated my radio once, and it was to the latest T-Mo radio. I took it one step further, and also RIL matched as detailed in another thread here on the XDA forums.
Thanks all for your help and advise. I finally found some time to do the updates last night. ROM is now at 2.16.531.5 and radio at Vision_Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19. All is working well and hopefully the annoying echo will also have disappeared.
I honestly think that flashing a new radio is not necessary unless you really have nothing else to do. maybe change do dz hboot u will require a dif radio (that diff story) but yeh. no really obvious point for u to flash. unless ur signal is really, really, bad?

Ah, so then you also had the echo issue before the update, similar to me? Echo reported by your conversation partners?
If so, then please post whether the update fixed the problem.
Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in replying back. I was busy with work and updating my son's G2.
I also matched the lib-ril files, and wiped the cache, dalvick cache and the efs partitions. The echo problem seems to have been fixed for now.
I compared the Android version, Baseband version, Kernel version and Build number on both my son's and my G2's against my wife's G2 (which is stock, unrooted and receives direct OTA updates from T-Mobile). All the version numbers match up perfectly.
Thanks to all for their help.

Actually after finally rooting and getting CM7 running, I was running into a problem when I would go in or out of an area that had no signal. I would essentially not be able to connect back to the network.
After upgrading to 12.62.60.27U_26.13.04.19_M (tmobile) my problem went away. Of course, ymmv, but it was a good upgrade (for me)

What he said!!! Also, it made more sense to me to have the radio at the same version as the one T-Mobile pushed OTA to all the stock G2s (having my wife's phone as a reference helped)
