So, I got this 6800 from a friend of mine along with a 6700 ( with a very bad battery ), figuring that I am going to develop software for 6.0 I went with the 6800 for the Rom Upgrade. I had the original Qwest Rom on here
Software Version 2.13.656.2
Firmware Version 1.39.00
I went ahead and followed the Ryan Mogul Cricket flash info ( yes i plan to flash this to cricket also ) however sadly before I installed his cricket ROM, i went ahead and followed the instructions for the NUERom2_5049 and after the flash ( done via laptop/activesync connection ), the phone seemed to be bricked. I tried every trick in the book from using the 1G MicroSD card that I have with the ROm on it ( considering the 4G wouldnt work at all ), and couldnt get anywhere.
I also tried flashing Sprint/Alltel/VZW Roms without success, I finally came across the Stock Rom ( Upgrade ) frm Qwest, ran it from Laptop, worked like a charm.
OK now for the questions... Here is some quick info about the new rom. It is Software Version 3.35.656.2, and the Firmware Version is 3.37.20 . At this point I am considering a couple of options.
1. leave the working rom on here and just play with the registry, settings, software, etc.. to get my goal accomplished.
2. Flash this thing over to Ryans Cricket Rom for Mogul ( Hey Ryan if you read this... Is that compatible with the Qwest Mogul?) and go ahead and start the service.
3. Custom Rom, and find a way to get the Cricket info in there.
Also I am using PRL1039 from CK right now, working like a charm so far, I am also wondering if this unit will work on cricket as is if I change some settings.
Just a few things im trying to figure out right now. Along with the ability to get the device to become a Portable Hotspot/ Wireless Adapter ( I now finally have this working as an internet connection....Laptop to PPC via USB Cable, PPC to Netgear Router via WiFi, and im online! Thanks a bunch for anyone with any suggestions, I look forward to seeing what I can do with this device. Also I have the SPL 1040, should I chance it for Cricket?
Thanks in advance!
First thing you want to do is re-do your PST settings to Cricket as the stock ROM changed all of that. Including unlocking your MSL/SPC code to all zeroes and loading a Cricket PRL on there. Follow my Cricket PST settings thread for that. Then you want to remove your memory card and boot up your current ROM into windows mobile and connect to active sync. Make sure its connected you should be able to access the files on the device through your computer and sync icon in taskbar will be green.
Now flash the unlocked bootloader Olipro2.40 exe. You can find that in my htc unlock tools directory on my share site, link provided in my PST settings thread.
After that is all said and done you can flash any Custom ROM including mine. If you use my Cricket ROMs all you have to do is activate the data connection and enter your [email protected], password cricket, blank domain, check save password. Done.
If you use someone elses NON cricket ROM you can always use my Cricket WAP or WAP and Arcsoft CABs to set up the Cricket information for you. Hope this helps.
already redid the spl stuff, still cant seem to get the msl back to 000000 but i do have the correct one. Just got the unit working as a wireless adapter so thats a plus, i need to get this thing over to cricket next, so I can get my account set back up. right now using Skype for phone service sicne I have WiFi. I will try your rom again, Ryan , as soon as I get things going with this again. Thanks for the tips, they seem to be coming in very handy ( been googling your posts for help with this device ) I know the 6700 inside and out but the 6800 seems to be a new dog right now, been playign with it for a while, got alot figured out, but still more to learn. Thanks again
ok just to update a bit, ive made a few slight changes, got a few new accessories, and tweaked out a few settings, however, all this and i still havent gotten the MSL back to 000000. Any ideas at all, tutorials, walkthroughs, hits, tips, tricks, or otherwise step-by-step directions so i can get that back to 000000 insead of the 6 digit code it is now, then maybe *2/228 will work and i can actually use the data features. Thanks in advance.

I flashed to the 6.5 rom listed here and things were going okay. Lately Ive been having problems with the phone freezing and text messages not working as they should. I want to flash back to the 6.1 firmware however Im looking to still tether my phone so is there any way to get the Internet Sharing program on the device or something close to that wmifirouter didnt work too well for me. So any ideas on what could cause the problem in the first place or how to unlock the tethering on the 6.1 firmware.
I currently have a sprint HTC Vogue and I am trying to flash the Verizon PRL onto it so I can use it on the PagePlus network. Everything I have seen says to dial #775#, but when I do that, my phone just tries to dial the number. I was using NSFAN's rom, and I even tried other roms and it does the same thing. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Which rom are you using now? If you are flashing a custom rom, more than likely you have a folder called "Phone Codes" somewhere in the Start menu. In there, you will have one that is called PRL. You have to have the MSL code to change this value though.
Get the PRL that you need and dump it somewhere in your phone. When you open the PRL program in phone codes (and you enter the MSL code), simply tap and hold where it says the PRL version and click on "Edit" (or whatever option you get), look for yours, and presto! Save, exit (you will be asked to soft reset).
Hope this helps.
Thanks. I have the MSL. I am flashing the official Sprint WM6.1 rom right now out of desperation, but I can put whatever on there. Do I need a custom rom in order to use the "phone codes" folder?

To get it in folder format, yes. But if you are going for a stock rom, then simply use the codes and you'll be in good shape.
I want to change PRL in my HTC.
I can access to ##775#.
But I can't find anywhere to PRL file in my phone.
I want to change PRL by myself.
Sometimes, I can use my phone.
But most of times, it shown searching and if i got signal, it shown antenna only. So how should I do? Please help me.

Have you tried to use the *228 (or whatever Sprint's equivalent is)? It should automatically provision your device.

When I flashed my Sprint Vogue for Verizon usage... I first had to flash the newest stock Verizon ROM (You can find it on NuAngel's goodies page at the bottom! Yes the radio change one!), then flash a Verizon PRL to the phone. Nu told me I would have to reunlock the phone afterward, but I didn't need to.
I was then able to dial *228 and program the phone! After the phone was programed, I could finally flash ROMs onto it and still have working service. This phone didn't like NuVogue 5 (even though most of NuVogue's development was done on this phone.. wtf). Nu cooked a Verizon specific NuVogue 5 and it worked a bit better, but I remained on stock until I was able to cook my own build (still working on, I have plans on posting it after conferring with Nu and stealingz some of his ideas).
I can update the phone roaming via *228 only with the stock Verizon ROM (does not work on ANY cooked ROMS I have tried!!), but because the phone still has a Sprint PRI (feel free to message me instructions on switching to a Verizon PRI, cause I haven't found them yet), I get the roaming triangle. I used the latest moded PRL found in this thread here (51831) and I've been great ever since.
I try to avoid Carrier generic ROMs (or cooking my in development "XevRev" [tentative name] as generic) since they reflash the PRL, which is just a pain in the butt imo. I plan on trying NuVogue 6 when Nu and I go to hang at his place sometime this coming week, I want to see if its improved over the previous release on this phone. Can't explain why the release ran so waked out in v5 on this phone..... anyway...).
*links removed because I haven't been validated by the mods. I recommend site admin get a Stop-forum-spam (Google to find since I can't link) plugin for his vB forum. XD It's a lot easier then manually chasing down spam.. trust me.*
Got the Droid X to activate it on Alltel like I did very successfully with my Eris.
Installed HW virtual serial port software, created the virtual serial port, phone was detected and showing up correctly in QPST, went directly to CDMA Workshop and ripped the NV file from the phone, edited all the NV information to alltel's 3G provisioning with a HEX translator, uploaded the NV file to the phone and uploaded the Alltel PRL... all seemed well. Restarted the phone, it now shows no service. When I go to Settings, it tells me the baseband version is "unknown" and it doesnt know the ESN or anything, that isn't good. I tried reconnecting to CDMA workshop, if I try to restore original NV file, it doesn't know the SPC anymore so it doesn't allow it, SPC 000000 isn't recognized now. How can I recover the radio ? I tried restoring it (hard reset) through the settings, security menu AND the Power+home buttons way. After restoring, still no service and SPC is still incorrect, how do I get the radio back to default values ? CAn I reflash the phone? Anyone know where the factory rom is so I can do this ? Ah man, help me please :O
Other than that, I guess I'll have to have motorola take a look at it since I don't have it signed up to a verizon account, my bet is that verizon won't help me. thanks
Did a system "full reboot" help any??
No it hard resets normally and reboots to the welcome wizard, functions perfectly, but still "No Service" and "unknown" baseband in the settings...
I'm thinking I'll have to have the stock Rom file to flash my phone, hopefully this will flash the factory baseband too or maybe tomorrows update will fix my broken baseband, looks like from the information, it updates the baseband, wonder if it will update a totally dysfunctional baseband?
Yikes,.. this blows.
I don't understand why you didn't back up the rom if you were attempting something like this.
There is a Droid X update coming pretty soon, so I'm sure by that time the new rom will be available.
Well, I backed up the NV items, I figured that would be sufficient, guess not, Trial and error I suppose, but you're right.
What software do I use to back up the rom of the Droid X ? I know there is a key sequence on the Droid, what about the droid X ? The recovery screen (Power + Home) brings me to a menu allowing system recovery/wipe install update.zip from memory card, and thats it.
I have a buddy right here in town down the block that got the droid x with me, can I back the rom up off of his and flash that rom to my phone?
Help is SO appreciated...
EDIT
The system dumps that are floating around the web, is that a ROM backup ? http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/114-new-droid-x-retail-dump-straight-out-pot.html
Can I put that file in the SD card as update.zip and flash it?

why not use QXDM to modify the ESN?
Worth a shot...
You can try using the motorola troubleshooter. Its what they use to update your phone anyways and since the new update came out you might be able to install over what you did...I cant post a link because Im new but follow the instructions below and it will walk you through the update process via computer. I figure with a phone thats not working its worth a shot.
Go to Motorola's website and click the droid advert right on the left side of the screen.
Under the "Support" tab in the upper right hand corner is another tab called "Owner Support" click on that.
On the left hand side there are more tabs so this time click on "Update My Software"
It will give you a list of options, choose "Via Computer"
From here it will check your computer for their software and prompt you to download it. Its the troubleshooting software and it will ask you a few questions, its also what they use to update your software via computer so it may be capable of flashing your phone for you. Best of luck and let us know what the end result is.
I haven't tried either of these... but I'm about to start flashing a droid X to cricket and bookmarked these posts in case I mess something up. Proceed with caution as I have no first hand experience with these.
I'm still trying to get a handle on if the service programming parameters (the spc, MDN, MIN, SID, etc.) are updated as part of baseband updates, it sounds like they are since they are saying the device needs to be re-activated after applying either of these updates.
If a baseband update refreshes the service programming parameters here are the two ways I've found of updating the baseband:
Here's a link to a post for updating the baseband portion of your device (without updating the ROM):
http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=62&g=posts&t=246
I don't know if this will work on a device that doesn't have a valid baseband prior to the update. Regardless, if your phone is bricked this may be a valid option to try.
There is also a 2.1 SPL file floating around which is the entire system image, the baseband and the rom. You will need to use rsdlite to apply this image to your phone. DO NOT APPLY THIS IF YOU ARE RUNNING FROYO.
Well, I was trying a few roms a few days ago and later i decided to go back to stock, I accidentally let the customizations run, and it went back to verizon, but i flashed the 0068 (or something like that) PRL file to the phone using EPST, after that I dialed *228 and updated the PRL to 02004 (latest MetroPCS PRL file), but i still cant use it, (i realized just 5 mins ago, 2 days after prl flashing -_-) I called the customer support just now and they said they just reset the device and I should shut it down and restart it, so anyways my question is:
I can't use my phone, I cant call, text or use web, and no one can call me, it says service not activated when i try to connect to the internet, and I cant use my voice mail either(LA 01 message something error) What should I Do?
Thanks guys.

The only thing that comes to mind would be for the VZW customizations to actually modify more than just PRL (but mess with other EPST settings as well). Just to confirm, did you have your phone working on Metro before this?
yes, it was working perfectly, even the mms and web were working :|
EDIT: I can call *611 and *228, oh wait i think i said that in the first post...

If you had 2.31 installed, the device should still be unlocked. Try running a hard reset/flashing another rom and see if that helps. I have a feeling that you will need to go into EPST and play with your MSID and MIN values and a few other things as well.

I hard reset on stock rom and didn't let the customizations run, then flashed 3.42.30 (alltell rom i think) and with out resetting the device I just put the nfsfan's rom in the sd card and flashed that, it still didn't help, can someone give me the settings for the PST.
Thanks for the reply

3.42.30 is a radio and not an actual rom. My guess would be that, unless you have them stored somewhere else, you will need to call Metro and ask them to help you re-program the phone. Couple of pointers:
a. Don't tell them that you have a Vogue (let alone a Vogue running 6.5) since they have little/no experience with WM devices.
b. Using BAFMSL, get your MSL from your device (you will need this to unlock and edit the EPST parameters. My guess is that you read the ESN to the Metro rep, who calculated an MSL, which of course did not work (here I am assuming that the ESN on your device has been cloned from another phone)).
c. What you want to get out of the rep are the numeric parameters for:
MIN (normally your phone number)
MSID
HomeSID
Don't assume that he/she will be able to guide you through the editing process because they simply won't know how. A simple "yes, go on" every time they tell you to change something will suffice. Just make sure you write the numbers down in a piece of paper.
Do this and get your numbers. If they are any different from the ones that are currently loaded, then your issue will be solved.
Just thought of one other thing. You said you went back to stock Verizon. Which radio did you have before that? And what radio did the Verizon rom take it to?
well, I had it metroflashed, and i can't do it again as i don't have any money now (only 15 years old xD), it has original ESN, does this change anything?
and btw, i can edit the epst, (the code is six 0s) or i may be wrong )

Nah, Metroflash via Houdinisoft does two things:
1. It will add the ESN into Metro's database and will link it to your account.
2. It may provision your phone. I say may because I have seen, more often than not, that Houdini fails to provision any device that runs WM.
Asking you again about the radios. What radio did you have prior to flashing to Verizon stock and what did the stock flash the radio to?

Yes, I was asking because I was afraid that you went below 3.xx.xx on the radio as this has been known to cause issues, including leaving phones completely useless.
Did you get the parameters from Metro as I suggested earlier?
well I got rid of the phone, as the representatives were not helping me at all (I talked to 5) so I am just going to buy a LG rumor touch (virgin mobile) and my other choice is Tmobile G1 but can I get it without a data plan?

Only if you buy it without contract (the G1, that is). Sorry that you couldn't get it to work. I am sure that it was only a matter of re-programming the device.
It's been a while and patiently waiting for Samsung or MS to provide a solution to address this issue but still no luck. After doing some research, connecting the dots and thinking a way around to make this work. I finally was able to.
So I just want to share to the rest of my fellow Omnia7 users who are frustrated with getting the MMS to work 'coz despite the Network profile tool working with some, there are still some like me who couldn't.
Here are the steps I did to finally make it work.
1. If you are on Nodo already, unlocked and still no mms. Just install the SamsungTools from lyriquidperfection found here tick on Set 'Run ADC' Flag and reboot the phone. You don't need to run the Network Profile any more just check if your carrier is the one listed in the mms setting by going to the Diagnosis menu (##634#) then keying in *#9920#
2. If you are on Nodo already, locked and no mms. Unfortunately, you would have to flash to the previous rom before Nodo if you can't successfully make Chevron work. I used this version I8700_XEN_I8700XENJK1 found in this thread. Unlock your phone using Chevron and then installing the SamsungTools. After you have mms working, you can upgrade to NoDo. There's a possibility that you may lose the unlock state, mine still remained unlocked. But you're mms settings will be retained.
I don't know if there's an easier way to get MMS working but this worked for me.

I did this route, but not for MMS, i had a problem on my Omnia 7 display from tweaking registry. I had to flash to this ROM I8700_XEN_I8700XENJK1 but i really wanted my original branded T-mobile UK rom . Now my phone is dev unlocked and on Nodo, but today i see a branded t-mobile ROM on the main samsung omnia 7 page, so i will flash to Samsung-Omnia-7-Firmware-XXJJ6-ALL-PROVIDERS even if it goes back to firmware 7.0 7004 ..then update to nodo after. Im having one or two issues with XEN_I8700XENJK1 ROM on my Omnia 7 thats why i am flashing again. oh well more loss of apps, settings and tension lol
thanks for the good tips, i will check it out for MMS issues.
