Is the original WM 6.0 ROM for the vzw xv6800 up on the vzw or htc site?
(I'm paranoid so I really would like to download it from one of those two sites.)
Or are there tools that will allow me to copy the ROM out to later restore?
I ask because I'm about to upgrade to WM 6.1 and I want a rollback option before I take the plunge. Basically, I would hate to find out that after the upgrade one or more apps I have working on 6.0, stop working on 6.1. I would, specifically, hate to loose ability to make free international calls with Skype. (Has anybody got Skype working on 6.1?)
I don't think there is an easy way back as the 6.1 ROM also has a new Radio ROM and PRI version. You would have to contact VZW to get the 6.0 ROM but there is an unofficial one in the Wiki for the Titan. You would need to follow the process for taking your phone back to stock or 6.0 and see if it works or not. I would call VZW and see how they would advise on how to do this as well. Using both 6.0 and 6.1 I personally have not found any issues with any of my apps but there were a few that others did. You might check the build version in DCD's custom ROMs and see when his went to 6.1 and if people had any issues with any third party apps.
I'm going to give this a try anyway. After upgradeing to 6.1 from verizons link the bluetooth in my xv6800 wouldn't sync my contact listing with my 2007 mercedes e350 anylonger (it worked great when I was running the orig ROM with 6.0). And verizon support says I'm stuck at 6.1 whether I like it or not. UTC said the same.
So, my options are to either
A) upgrade my Benz to an 09 model that can handle this new bluetooth obx profile stuff so I can resync my contact list to my car. lol
B) pay for a new phone for $400 (yes, i'm so lazy I'd pay $400 just to get my contact list in my car back)
C) attempt to revert back to windows mobile 6.0
if I brick it or can't make any progress I go back to Verizon and show them I bricked my phone trying to upgrade and see what they say.
So, with that said, here is my plan. Someone correct me if I'm way off here or saying something you know or suspect will not work
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome
WILL THOSE INSTRUCTIONS NOT WORK? It says in section II, step 7...
"Press the CAMERA-POWER-RESET buttons at the same time in order to enter the bootloader. You should see a screen that says SPL-2.07.0000. If you see this text, your SPL has been sucessfully updated. If you do not, power of your phone and start over from step 1. To return back to your phone, press the RESET button. "
well, I'm at 2.07.0000 right now so I should be good to proceed with the remaining instructions, correct?
OR... do I need to go thru the hassle of first moving up to 2.40 bootloader... then back down to SPL 2.07.0000 and THEN I proceed after section II step 7?
wish me luck.
Thanks,
Ben
Yep! It worked. I'm back at 6.0 now.
Just booted for the first time and it self installed all those first time CABs.
Now I'm restoring from an spb backup that I had made just prior to my upgrade to 6.1 and I should be back in business.
Ben
*edit: and my bluetooth in my phone is fully integrated and working my my mercedes once again... yay! 6.1 was pretty cool other than that one issue I was having. I wouldve left it at 6.1 otherwise. But its good to know you can go back if you really wanted too.
Thanks for blazing the trail, Ben. Skype stopped working for me (both the beta and the latest version). Looks like I'll be heading back to 6.0.
send me a message if you have any questions during your rollback. It is very simple to rollback to 6.0 from the verizon 6.1 ROM update.
Here is what I did:
I bought a 1 gig micro card and card reader and formated it to FAT32 from my laptop... format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024
*where ? was the drive letter of my card
Then I downloaded the verizon stock ROM ruu_signed.nbh file and copied it to the root directory of the card... renamed it TITAIMG.nbh.
*edit: i used the stock verizon ROM from the wiki Titan Stock link... Verizon themselves do not have a 6.0 ROM, hard to imagine but thats what their support people said. Or maybe they think we, their customers, are too dimwitted to do anything with it.
plugged the card into the phone and then I pressed the POWER + CAMERA + SOFTRESET buttons (to enter into bootloader) and watched it do its stuff.
Then I had to call verizon support (from a different phone of course) after getting back into Windows 6.0 and they had me reprogram my phone by calling *228 and select option #1... then the support person gave me a new authentication number and they had to re-setup my ip address settings from their end.
WHen that was done and I confirmed I could make and receive calls and had data connection, I then restored my applications and contact info etc from a backup I took prior to upgrading to 6.1.
Then I was back to exactly how I was prior to upgrading to 6.1
The verizon guy was impressed. They hadn't heard of anyone being able to go back after upgrading to 6.1. Without the wiki links from this forum I wouldn't have been able to do it.
Thanks,
Ben
It really sux that vzw doesn't have a rollback for this. Not only does skype not work on this phone but I can't get my bluetooth GPS to work either. (yeah, I upgraded to 6.1 so I could use the built in aGPS but it does not look like aGPS works with mgmaps.) I'll be buying a 1GB microSD come Monday.
Thanks again, Ben.
well, I get to do this again. Yay!
I dropped my phone onto the cement sidewalk while I taking out the trash and damaged it pretty good.
Asurion (the insurance company I have my plan with) just shipped me overnight a new (refurbashed?) phone with the 6.1 already loaded. And yep, the OBEX bluetooth handsfree profile won't work with my car. The phonebook doesn't synch with my car. So I'm rolling back this one to 6.0 too.
Too bad really. I like 6.1. Anyone know if 6.1 is available on a cooked ROM but with the original vzw 6.0 bluetooth obex profiles?
Anyway, here I go again at least I know I can do it and I'm not stuck with 6.1
Ben
When you did the rollback to version 6.0, did it update your PRI back to the 1.35 version as well?

I don't know what PRI is or to see what version it is. If you tell me where to view that I'll post what I find.
here are some of the #s I do know...
SPL 1.04
R 1.30.60
D 2.09
By the way, the rollback worked on this refurbashed phone that came pree loaded with 6.1... the rollback worked the same as when I rolled back my original phone with the VZW mr1 download. Except this latest time I didn't have to reauthenticate the number. They did have to reset my ip info though but that took only a few minutes.
I don't know why but I find this thread amusing. The 2007 benz os works fine with whatever radio and rom combination I have ever used. Did you try and and do a stock verizon 6.1 update? Let me share something and its not just because I am a tech junkie. I can obviously see that there is fear in updating outside of stock vzn rom, but let me paint a picture for you; DCD'S ROMS ARE FAR MORE STABLE AND PRODUCTIVE THAN ANY CARRIER ROMS. They have less junk that you don't need crash much less and sync with everything seemlesly. A bluetooth receiver for a titan? Come on. Do you know that you have a built in gps one receiver in your titan that with verizon you can have locking in 30 seconds or less every time? It is not hard to update to one of these roms, especially if you have everything backed up. If you pm me I will glide you through the process. It may take you 1-2 hours of your time but you will be so much more satisfied with your titan.
PM sent!
which 6.1 ROM do you recommend?
Thanks,
Ben
Something interesting for those of you who are downgrading...
If you follow the instructions on the Wiki, not only will it revert the phone to true stock condition (rom version, prl, pri, etc) but it will also restore your gpsOne settings.
I had a phone that has the bad pickles on the screen... I was bringing it into the store for a replacement and upgraded to MR1. They were of course out of replacements and shipped a dummy phone and I was in need of GPS (I had issues with the adapter program and iGuidance and MR1) so I reverted back to stock (following the WIKI instructions) and then DCD 3.34. I was having issues with GPS after reverting back and when I checked the gpsOne setting that I had made with the QPST program, my prior changes had been overwritten.
Just an FYI...
yeah, I rolled back from the mr1 using the wiki instructions and it is a pieace of cake.
actually my phone is doing all I need it to do at the moment and I've been exceedingly pleased with it.
guess i'm somewhere between intermediate and advanced. ha.
I may get bored ovr the holidays tho and try out the DCD 3.34 rom.
Sweeny, I sent you a PM... can you confirm the DCD3.34 works with your mercedes 2007 and can synch the contacts? would be good to have confirmation before I spend a few hours only to have to rollback again
thanks
Ben

just to clarify, are you recommending against upgrade to 3.34 then because the gpsone setting gets overwritten?
thanks and I apologize for my newbish questions.
ben
well, I am an "intermediate" afterall. ha. I just read 30+ pages of the 3.3.4 rom and it looks great! but at the same time there are quite a few reports of people having some issues (keyboard, capslock, start menu dissapearing, etc.. that may all be install/user errors or related to version of the taskmanager they have).
But I've decided that since I'm intermediate level and admittidly a little "scared", I'm going to stick with my boring ole stock ROM at least for now.
Thanks for the info though guys.
*EDIT: well, I'm feeling adventurous. ha. I'm going to give the DCD 3.2.6 a shot tomorrow... and considering using radio 3.42.40 (or any reason not to try the 3.42.50?)... and the Nue SPL 2.47. Shoot, if it don't work all I've got to do is downgrade back to the stock vzw 6.0 right? I'm assuming I can still go back to that factory vzw 6.0 rom using the unlocked bootloader or at least using the lock 2.07 bootloader (the stock verizon bootloader is actually 1.04 and their isn't a way to get back to it after upgrading)
Oh, and blancmik... I did finally see where the pri # is in my EPST settings... yes, the rollback did set it back to 1.35_002
Also, thanks to Russ for the PM. appreciate the info.
This thread has shifted slightly off topic and I apologize for that... hopefully though it will give insight to the newbs who didn't like the factory MR1 6.1 UPDATE for whatever reason.
Thanks,
Ben
I've gotten really good at flashing ROMs, SPLs and Radios lately. lol. I've tried the VZW MR1 6.1 ROM... the DCD 3.3.4 and 3.2.6 both using the 3.37.20 radio and nue2.47 SPL. none of these 6.1 ROMs work with mercedes <=2008 model year bluetooth
Mercedes 2007 COMMAND system does not work with the obex bluetooth handsfree profiles in that the contact list from my phone does not synch with the mercedes. Incomming and outgoing calls work fine if I don't mind typeing them uing the dashboards keypad... but that defeats the purpose of the "hands free" profile.
With the good ole 6.0 factory rom and radio I'm able to use my steering wheel control buttons to scroll thru my address book, place/receive calls, adjust volume, speak thru the built in mic on the rearview mirror, and listen using the stereo system. Its one of my favorite features on the car and sucks that MERCEDES has not updated their firmware to handle 6.1 bluetooth profiles.
So I've once again, for the 3rd time, rolled back to vzw's original 6.0 ROM, RADIO and SPL (and pri too). I think I'll try some custom windows 6.0 ROMs sometime later but what I've got now works good for me (no GPS but I don't need it I guess)
THanks,
Ben
Well
how many of us have successfully flash WM6.5?
is it advisable to flash it?
Personally I am happy with SPB Mobile Shell 3. The I am not interested in another WinMo version until 7, which will need another phone.
GPS performans with WM6.5
Flashed with Tommy34's ROM with WM6.5.
Very happy that my GPS fixing -boring- delay is fully resolved.
I almost believed in my Device have had a hardware defect, then realized it is none..
I have got one single trouble that SKYPE WinMobile v2.5 can not be installed..
I will try v3.0 Beta ASAP I am able to download..
***Edited***
Beta v3.0 works out..
I installed tommy34 cHome 0.4 ROM and I'm very happy with it. My gps finally works too...and the phone is more response in general.

I have not been able to flash my phone.
I am using Vista and when I try and flash the rom on the phone, I get:
Vista has found new hardware (I think it was a CDMA Driver)
I've flashed WM6.5 (can't remember which version I used), and I thought all was going well, until I tried to sim unlock it. The phone is 2 months old, with Orange branding, and had the horrible Orange Unique Manager, which is why I wanted to flash the phone, and I assumed the phone was simlocked. After I flashed it, I bought a Sim Unlock Code, but when I put a 3 sim card in, I didn't get the expected "Enter SIM Unlock Code" prompt. Instead I just get "No Service" displayed on the home screen with the exclaimation mark at the top where the signal strength is displayed. I've also tried with an (active contract) T-mob Sim, and a Tesco Mob Sim. Same thing, I don't get the prompt to be able put the unlock code in.
I can't help thinking it's because I've flashed the phone, it seems like there's something preventing the Enter SIM Unlock Code dialog from coming up. Is there anyone else with this problem, or a solution? What ROMs are people using that they have sucessfully SIM unlocked their phones with?
Thank you!
So does it still work with an Orange Sim?
I have flashed my Orange UK Jade with various flavours of WM6.5, all with good results, currently using a version cooked by PDAVIET, with no issues.
Guys, is it possible to flash to Windows 6.5 then flash again to 6.1 if all doesn't go well?
just wondering but are PDAVIET, Ironeagle and Tommy34s version of wm 6.5 all have 8gb micro sd support. And also which would you recommend as the best.
I flash 6.5 German and ist is working grate.
I used
Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Installed

And MUI 407 files from erviuskitchen german kittchen.
And installed only th programms that i need.
Only i need Thai caracters in sms. It is not possible to change the thaom font to a full wich Asiatic caracters. installed msss.tff and change all to it, but manila sms does not take care about font change in sms/messages...
I tryed to coock a rom usin erviuskitchen german kittchen wich only changing tahoma font. but all roms i cooked with it are getting instable after 2 dayes. My favorite navigation system wich german and Asien maps does not start afer 3 times anymore.
Si i stick nearly fully satisfyed with the Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Hi,
I got my HTC since 2 mounth, and i really want to test WM6.5, but i must say that i'm a little afraid about flashing my phone.
I've read the "flash for n00bs" post, and it seems that there is a way to "flash-back" your phone to a factory version, am I right...?
By the way, if i want to use my waranty, can i "flash-back" my phone ?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks guys !

Hello,
I am from Brazil and bought my Touch 3G about two months ago. It came with WM 6.1.
Last week I successfully applied the "Hard SPL 2.33 by Olinex" and then Flashed it with "Touch3G__WM6.5__2_33_721_17__B23033_WWE" ROM from PDVIANET.
Everything is running fine. The only comment is that we really need to disabled the 3G (H) network and run just with Edge (E) in order to save some battery. Other than that I recommend everybody to upgrade to WM 6.5

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!

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

Hi this is my first post on xda, and this maybe a noob Q.
But I just bought a mogul that was already flashed to metropcs's service and now its under my account with working wap and mms. But im having a few issues with the phone and I'd really liked to just get a new custom rom and flash it from wm 6.1 to 6.5
My Q. is if i flash my mogul will it still be on metropcs or will it revert back to alltel wireless? And will i have to pay to reflash it?

The answer is, it depends. If you have a custom ROM currently installed that began with the carrier settings cooked in, a hard reset won't revert your settings to Alltel.
What I would recommend is that you check out a couple threads by RyanMogul6800. He has two versions of custom Mogul ROMs with the carrier settings cooked in already. Here and here.
If you've never flashed a ROM before, please check this out first and follow all the instructions carefully. Good luck!
thanks a ton. i really appreciate the speedy reply and now i think im just gona reflash the phone. thanks again
I just got a used HTC Universal. It had a generic WM5 install on it. I came here, looking for a WM6.x ROM. A couple years ago, I had great success doing this with an HTC Wizard (which I still have) -- I know how to flash a ROM. However, with the Universal, I am not having any luck.
The device comes up in bootloader mode just fine. But no ROM I have tried, ever boots up. I have tried the MTTY DOC format, I have tried using MaUpgradeUT, I have tried using the ROMUpgradeUT.exe that comes with the ROM's... nothing seems to work. If I understand the various posts here -- the device is acting like the Carrier ID is still set, and no ROM will work until I clear the CID and/or find a ROM that matches the CID. But, I thought that the MAUpgradeUT was supposed to clear out the CID? Is there another utlity for that?
I have spent basically 8 hours today, trying to get this to work... I am willing to ship this to someone in the US and pay $$$ to get it working again. It's a nice device (looks brand new) and I really want to use it. It was working just fine on WM5, until I got the bright idea to re-flash it.
Can anyone help?
hi again... found a copy of TML v8[1].7.1 21028 regular 64MB and IT WORKED!. My phone is no longer stuck in bootloader limbo.
however, this ROM seems to be hard-wired to look for a TMobile network? I have an AT&T GSM SIM... my phone isn't connecting to my provider, at the moment.
THanks to all for past and future help.
