OK, so here's the deal. I am currently testing the Sprint network as my AT&T experience has bottomed out. I have the TP2 and am desperately trying to fall in love, but under the pretty clothing, it's still a WinMo device. I would love to put a new ROM on there, but with my still considering returning it, I can't permanently change the ROM which FINALLY brings me to my question: is there a stock ROM that I can use to put it back to factory specs if I change the ROM and decide to return it?
ThankS!
isn't sprint CDMA?
If it is then you can't flash roms on it period, as there is currently no hard spl for cdma tp2's.

So you can't flash different ROMS on CDMA phones? I've been on GSM forever, so I know nothing about CDMA.

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.)

read what x10dude said, but mentally replace "Alltel" with "Bell"
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.
Hello all,
I am attempting to install the stock T-Mo US ROM onto a T-Mo UK G1. I have been using it for about a year with the dev phone ROM and it works fine on the T-Mo US 3G. Now I've switched to a different phone and I want to sell the G1, but I want to install the stock T-Mo ROM so it will have access to OTA, full market, and carrier customizations.
When I try to flash the RC29 DREAMIMG.nbh it gives me an error, probably because the phone has a different hardware ID (DREA110 for UK vs. DREA100 for US). I have tried installing it from the dev phone bootloader, I have gone back to the stock bootloader, tried using a goldcard, I'm hitting a dead end now.
Any suggestions? It seems there must be some way to bypass the hardware ID check since the dev phone ROM and customized ROMs will work.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. It will load the UK RC7 ROM, so I'm fairly certain it is just the hardware ID that is the limitation.
I finally got it working. If anyone else is trying to do this, use HardSPL and it will work fine.

.... Yeah, what YLSQ meant is that if you unlocked with a network unlock code then upgrading ROMs "SHOULDN'T" re-lock your handset. But I hope you've kept a copy of that code incase its ever needed again. It should always be valid as it is IMEI specific.
The only issue I could see possibly arising is that some ROM's are "PERFECT SPL's". What this basically means is that the networks got wise and shut the door on being able to edit the internal software stuff. I dont know what affect installing a perfect SPL onto an unlocked handset would have though. If worst came to worst, you could always downgrade your ROM again and unlock again.
If I was you, I would stay away from the official updates anyway. I highly recomend putting MCR3.2 on for now until an offical 2.1 ROM has been released and tweaked by some of the genius devs on here or Modaco.
If for any reason (?!?) you would prefer a stock ROM, I would use one of the ROMs from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero. However, it does take abit more work to get these flashed onto your phone, in comparison to just going to HTCs site and running an exe application.
Check out BTDAG's guide linked in my signature.
I hope your still awake after taking all that in!!!!

cdma roms will be at ppcgeeks.com. OAT made some sense 2.5 ROMs for it that you can find here. I have no idea what a metropcs flash does, but it probably only wrote things like a prl and other phone settings that aren't normally changed when flashing a custom ROM.
i ment flashed to metropcs carrier, it usually is for sprint but i use it for the mobile phone carrier metropcs, but anyways, i dont want to format my phone is there another way of getting it on HTC Sense?
