Can I use Verizon XV6700 ROM on my Sprint PPC-6700?????

Just curious if I'm able to use the verizon ROM on my sprint apache as the verizon version is AKU2.2 and the sprint version is AKU2.0. Thanks in advance.
MJB

Is there a difference between the roms? Your post is the first I have read that says so. What are the changes?

Well I'm not exactly sure what the changes are, but the underlying operating system is simply a newer build. I figure it would have some minor advantages assuming the aku2.2 rom will work on our sprint devices. Also - I'm personally suffering from the "phantom turnon" problem where the ppc6700's screen turns itself on repeatedly which causes serious battery drain, so hopefully this would be fixed.
Best,
MJB

Regarding the "phantom turnon"
This is the first time I've seen someone mention this problem, so I'd like to shed some light on one possible cause (for all I know, someone's already found this out, so please forgive).
I started noticing that my PPC-6700 was getting turned on somehow while on my belt clip. In fact, every time I took it out, it was already on, unless the battery was already dead.
What I realized was that the magnets in the belt clip that keep the flap closed were actuating the leaf-switch in the case, and causing the phone to turn on when I closed or opened the lid. I mention "closed or opened" because my initial solution was to set a very short power off on battery setting, so even though the phone would turn on when placed in the clip, it would be off after a minute or so, but it would always be on when I took it out.
For a while there I thought I was dealing with the refridgerator lamp question all over again!
Hope this helps someone.

Did you apply the ROM update from UTStarcom? They offer patches for every carrier here: http://www.utstar.com/handsets/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=PPC6700&bID=30&sAct=0
First select your carrier then click on Download at the bottom right.

Back in Feb the Sprint 6700 received the Update you just posted. (AKU2.0)
The rest of the cell companies that also use the 6700 received the same update (AKU2.0) a month or so later.
Just recently the every other carrier except Sprint received a new rom update for their 6700, (AKU2.2)
Sprint and UTStarcom refuse to comment on why the ppc6700 didn't received the same update, or if it will ever.
Sprint put the PPC6700 on their discontinued list a few months back....

Thanks for all the replies...unfortunately my phantom turnon problem is not related to the case (in fact i dont even use the case) but rather seems to be related to the phone getting network broadcast notifications (such as new voicemails, or swapping cell) I have yet to try the AKU2.2 ROM but am enticed to do so in the next few days. I'll keep you all posted, hopefully I don't end up with a paperweight.

Hey where did u get the 2.2 rom from VZW i rly rly need it! please..

Updated to tmobile cupcake and now location problems

Tried searching but no luck. I was using JF ADP 1.5 and my location in google maps without using GPS was pretty accurate and up to date. I put the JF tmobile cupcake on my G1 and now my location barely even updates let alone be even remotely accurate. should I wipe my phone and see if that helps? I think I have the new radio installed. How can I verify the new radio version?

Anyone? I rely on this feature quite a bit.

Look at upgrading to jf 1.51 3.3.2 by cyanogen or thedudes 1.2a there are no location issues that I am aware of

power down
press and hold power and camera button.
you should read the radio ending "26I"
that's the lastest radio.

Okay, I have the newest radio then.
Id like to just keep using this ROM. I'm just going to wipe it in a little while.

Well, I wiped my phone and that didn't work. Then I went back to JF ADP 1.5 and still now luck. Anyone else have any ideas?

Nope and it's not your phone. It's T-Mobile. I asked here, no response (huge surprise, I know). I've asked on TMobile's "official" forums, no answer. I've asked on multiple cell phone boards, no answer. I do not want to call Customer Service AGAIN because they will blame my phone despite the fact I have 3 of them right here, right now all doing the same thing and all with various builds. Just for reference, he's one of my previous posts:
Started happening a few weeks ago. Applications that rely on the My Location service within Android fail because Android isn't receiving a location. Examples of this are the Google homepage and the multitudes of weather apps when set to Current Location. I'm inclined to believe it's a tower problem for a few reasons.
* I have multiple G1's (2 G1's,and a Dev phone) having the same issue while in close proximity to each other even after fresh Factory Resets on all of them. (and with various builds including OTA builds)
* The problem disappears when switching to 2G (confirmed with a Market app called "Cellfinder"). Cellfinder will find the tower ID as shown below but no location reported from the tower. If I bump it down to 2G the LAC and CID stay the same but are now reporting the tower location.
* The DDMS log tool within the Android 1.5 SDK shows that Android is at least trying to get a location lock but failing with various LocationManager errors saying no location was found.
* The phone's are getting service and with BetterCut & Cellfinder I can see the associated tower's LAC and CID which leads me to believe that the 3G portion of the towers are simply not reporting location back to the phone.
Customer service wants to RMA the G1 I have on record. The phone(s) is(are) not broken so I declined. I'm at a loss on who to talk to next. BTW, despite my unresolved issue your guys' techs are fantastic. I love the up beat attitudes and great service.

Ah thanks for the info. I was beginning to think it wasn't something about the phone. I guess I'll give them a call, just to show that this issue does exist. Its a shame I cant use it though.

It is a shame. Every single background service that requests My Location is now hosed.

I am in the same boat with you guys. I can get a GPS lock, but no radio lock. And since I too rely heavily on this feature it's a major problem. What I'm concerned about is that, if I understand correctly, it is not working with a non-root phone as well now? I rooted two days ago, and before that it was fine. It's about to become a deal breaker for me. May have to un-root if it will work like that. =(
BTW JF1.51CBR43 ROM

Ok, may have spoke too soon. So here's what worked for me. If you use something like toggle settings or make a custom toggle this is not TOO inconvenient. I put my settings to 2G only, and wahla!!!!! I have My Location back and all my other location based software works.
Hope this helps! Now, if I can just get the damned Bluetooth to work, I won't have to unroot. Yep, may be another deal breaker for me.

1) I already posted that this problem does not exist with 2G in this very thread.
2) Just this morning I started to get location data with 3G however it's not nearly as accurate as 2G. While this works fine for city level information such as weather it's rather crude.

T-Mobile Releasing 2nd ROM Update for HD2

I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.

Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?

No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!

I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.

Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?

Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue

well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?

NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM

I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!

tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.

are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet

They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.

Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

android fo real?

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.

Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.

I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!

how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.

(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

From
Sprint Forums

Some are not seeing it available to download yet. I just tried and see it but 1st attempt it was corrupted, LOL.
2nd was successful and it is currently verifying package

It just keeps getting corrupt, good'ol sprint for ya!

Currently tried downloading it 30 times via network corrupt each time
Tried via wifi and it does not see a update
wish they would allow it other than OTA

Will it break root?
And i'm guessing it will remove any dialer modifications flashed such as no haptic feedback

can't the damn thing to download with out being corrupt. So only time will tell.
If and finally when I get it installed I will let you know about the root question.

man i hope this fixes my bluetooth pairing issues with 2.1...
hopefully if it breaks root someone can strip on that part and just post the rest of it like the one time before.

I've grown very skeptical toward any "update" from Sprint/HTC/SenseUI.
I've given up on the SenseUI platform and believe that the Hero is simply just too underpowered to run Sense effectively. I hated all the lagging and long pauses.
Now, however, running CM6 with the 9/7 nightly and Darc's #14 kernel and I couldn't be happier. My phone zips along quite nicely.
The ONLY thing I miss about SenseUI is the browser. Anybody know of a decent replacement that can do pinch/zoom as well?

I've found that xscope is much better than both it seems less clunky

i bought a used hero from craigslist on Sunday and it had android 1.5 so I hit htc.com and downloaded this update then and flashed it over. I guess there is no root for this version then. I have an evo rooted to 2.2, the hero is for my kid with hopes of using 2.0.5 pre7 wifi router for him to link his laptop to. Haven't turned phone on for sprint yet working way to much. (called sprint before i paid for it esn is clean)

It says....
Update your software
To update your Hero over the air:
Go to All Applications

Sprint said the Following....
You may not yet have the update for a couple of reasons:
- The software update may not yet be loaded to the servers
- The software update may be released in batches or stages where not all phones will receive it at the same time.
If you are not seeing the update, please be patient and it should be available soon.

Not able to see the update. It says my phone is upto date (even it is not). I understand the updates might not be there for me yet.
I have rooted my phone and removed some sprint bloatware and htc bloatware.
I have not put any custom rom in my phone yet.
I am a little bit nervous to update my phone. Cause I dont know what the update is all about.

The update is making its way through...I've been checking for it for the last two days...however today 9/24....I checked for the update and this morning at 6:15am the update was available.
The update fixes:
Slow response Phone Dialer
GPS Reboot (<-- I have never experienced this problem)
After the download of the update is complete the installation takes about 5-8 minutes or so...once the phone reboots and after you've agreed to install the update...the phone hangs for a bit on the Sprint Now splash screen....I was a little worried at first but I just let it sit....the phone will continue to boot after 2-3 minutes then you will see the HTC white splash screen for another minute or two and finally it will indicate the update was successfully updated.
I was aware of the slow response with the phone dialer and after the update you notice a difference...however I never had a GPS Reboot issue..but still happy they fixed what ever issue they found.
This may just be me...but after the update my phone seems a bit more responsive over all. But again...this could be just me.

Totally agree, finally pulled the CM6 trigger this week as my phone was at risk of being flung on several occasions. Can't believe I ever waited around for Sprint to fix anything, CM flies (but does not get flung!)

I'm still debating about CM6...I brought my HTC hero back in March-April due to my old phone dying....unfortunately the HTC EVO was still about 2-3 months away so I really had no choice...it was either the Hero or the Moment...I chose the Hero since it was a better phone in my opinion.
I am however upset that Sprint has given up on this phone so quickly...I'm still a little hesitant of rooting my phone and voiding my warranty. I've started to read up on rooting and CM6 a little bit as I am a bit curious of CM6.
Am I right to say that if I don't like CM6 I can revert back to stock rom and Sprint will not being able to tell...just in case I have to take my phone back at any point in time?
Also I've heard of Unrevoked and the fact that you can root you phone by just using this app....I've seen some threads that look extensive at how to root your phone...so if this "one-click" app works...can this be applied to the overall process of getting CM6 installed?
While I don't mind using Sprint Navigation or UI Sense....that is really the only apps I would like to be able to use....all other sprint apps..such as Sprint Football and Nascar I don't care about....If I get CM6 installed can Sprint Navigation be reinstalled?
Now that sprint pushed out a new update out there...will procedures have to change to install CM6 or rooting due to this new update??
I guess just a few questions..like I said..I'm curious about CM6 but have yet to decide if I really want to get CM6 installed...any feedback would be great.
Thanks!!!

I down loaded the update but it won't install, my phone is rooted with the one click app so that might be why it won't install

Does anyone elses DroidX suck now that it has Froyo?

My DroidX...was an OK phone with the stock Android 2.1 with that very early on update VZW pushed to it. Push e-mail worked properly, the interface was snappy (****ty design, but at least snappy), and the overall experience didn't suck.
Now that it's upgraded...it's a POS. Push e-mail refuses to push (it's not our server at work, EVERYONE at work with windows mobile and android phones OTHER than the DroidX is fine, and EVERY DroidX doesn't work)...have to manually pick refresh on the phone even though push IS enabled. The user interface is much much much less snappy...everything that used to feel smooth and fluid, is jerky and annoying now, text entry is much more hokey (get incorrect text all the time)...it sucks...plus there's no way for me to disable the 4 digit pin nonsense to unlock the phone, even though our IT department has assured me, it's not their doing (and again, it's only those of us with X's, the HTC Incredibles and windows mobile phones are all fine)...wish I'd gotten an HTC Incredible instead of this thing to use as my work phone.
I'm SO happy that my personal phone is an Evo and I ONLY have to use this DroidX for work...the X physically feels like it's built better, but this newest update really makes it suck (and since it's works phone, I don't even want to consider rooting it or messing with the roms on it...our policy at work requires us to accept updates to phones too).

i just have one problem about the phone too, the email push notification doesn't work worth a damn now or before, unless i physically turn off my phone and turn it back on, then i will receive my work email, but sometimes its too late..

My droidx with ota 2.2 is better than ever! Best phone I've ever had!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I dont have the pin lock..... weird...

My only email is Gmail and that push works excellent.

ota 2.2 is alot faster than 2.1 it may have a few bugs in it but what phone doesnt? although if for some reason you dont like it, im sure someone would trade you a droid 2 or incredible for your phone.

You may want to give this a look over. Many people say that it helped them. It wont involve anything that compromises the integrity of your phone with your company. Strictly a legitimate solution. No hacks or root involved.

Faster? Really? UI experience is slower, maybe random crap in the background happens faster, but the phone FEELS slower...going to Froyo on my Evo made everything feel smoother/faster/better...
What phone doesn't have bugs...well...how about the DroidX with it's original version of 2.1 on it? Everything worked fine...I wish I wasn't required to accept updates on it, I never would have...and no, can't trade it, work owns it, I'm just stuck using it until August of 2012 as we upgrade every 2 years. Motorola screwed up with this update.
I just had someone from IT help me remove and re-add my exchange account and now it does push. Text entry is still laggy, and the screen motion is nowhere near as smooth/fluid/nice as it was with 2.1 on this phone. The push problem had to do with the phone not properly maintaining a security certificate with the exchange server when the 2.2 OTA update was sent to it.

...nevermind, push already stopped working again...sat down at my desk to see an e-mail came in an hour ago...phone still doesn't know about it...the whole reason I have the phone is to respond to e-mail as fast as possible...good job Motorola...

I've only had one problem and that was the stock battery manager force closing, but it seems to be a common problem and will most likely be fixed soon.

Well...I tried a factory reset...brought the phone back on, added the corporate sync account, and now I no longer am required to enter the 4 digit pin (thank god, that was just assinine that I wasn't allowed to disable it before)...push worked for another hour or so, had a few random people in the office sending me e-mails and I Was getting them on the phone...it died again though.
I found the battery management setting, and put it to max performance, I don't care about battery life...if the phone makes it from a little before 8 am (when I'm on my way to work) until 5 pm (when I leave)...I don't care if it's almost dead...but that doesn't seem to have helped.
The ONLY software thats on the phone at this point, is what Motorola shipped it with, and what the market asked me to update when I gave it the gmail account that I signed up specifically to ONLY use to enable the market on this phone (gmail, google maps and google search after the factory reset)...haven't installed anything else yet...but since I still have the problem, I'll probably go back and put the ring scheduler app (thing kicks ass) and astro file manager back on the phone...because they clearly aren't the cause of the issue with push.
After the factory reset, the multitouch keyboard is quick like it should be...but swype is still laggy...the beta version of swype on my Evo (yes I'm in the official beta) is WAY better...wish I could update the DroidX to that version of it...the old version of it on 2.1 was far smoother.

I hate the 2.2 update, my X laggs and few of my apps don't work with it. On the up side flash is nice and more web applications work. Phone is more functional with vbulletin forums, chatboxes, and menus.
I want my easyroot back!

Push e-mail worked for a few hours this morning...didn't change a dam thing...it's not working again now though...hasn't been since 11.

I'm also having issues with the sync stopping working on my email accounts (work exchange account, yahoo imap account and gmail). I reboot and it works for a while, then it stops again.
I just got the phone and I've never been on 2.1 so I don't have anything to compare it too. The sync is the only legit complaint I've got with the phone so far.
