noob needs help
 

Ok So I'm a bit of Noob at this i managed to unlock the phone and upload the kaos ROM but when i turn the phone on it stays at the radio screen. i am assuming i need to update the radio first. but try as i might i just cant seem to find a download of a newer radio. also i am worried i have the wrong hardware as my ROM versions and radio are much different that what has been posted. although it may be because i am Canadian on Bell. any advice/ assistance would be great.. i have tried searching with the green search button and read as many tutorials as i can get my hands on but am falling short.
Please Help

*edit*
I have returned the phone to default Rom: 2.17.666.2 and radio: 1.59.10A

Re: noob needs help
 

why bro you could have got the radio from the second post of the kaos **** sprint rom and than hard reset and take the battery out lie the instructions say and you would have been golden.

Re: noob needs help
 

ok so i downloaded the sprint rom from the HTC website and loaded it first. then i loaded the Kaos ROM and that worked however now my data connection is trying to conect to the sprint network not bell and i can not recieve data unless i use my wifi. any suggestions?

Re: noob needs help
 

did you go to start/settings/connections/connections and than go to internet and than click get settings than wait for 2 minutes (not letting screen go to sleep) and than soft reset it and try it? and also why didnt you flash the bell rom first since the newest roms including take 5 are masde off of the bell rom radio wise :>

Re: noob needs help
 

the bell rom available on the HTC website is 2.17.666.2 which i already had and it had the old radio aswell which is why i used the sprint rom the only 3.09 rom i found was for the HTC touch so i was leary about using it on the 6800.

also having trouble locating the "get settings" button

Re: noob needs help
 

im getting a "error code 67" trying to logon to vision network. which i should'nt need for bell

Re: noob needs help
 

that is un called.You dont have anything good to say don't post..

Re: noob needs help
 

don't be "leary" about using a different rom on ur phone.... just DON'T! lol... only use a rom for YOUR model phone. idk bout moving backwards, but you could consider reflashing the latest stock bell rom, then flashing the latest radio, then move to the kaos roms.

but wait until D/\SH or someone comments on this... because I haven't gone through this, so idk if this is bad lol. just a suggestion

Re: noob needs help
 

well that is actually part of the problem i am in now i could not find a radio only upgrade

Re: noob needs help
 

sorry but my comp is pissing me off,,, and gotta run.

this is what i've come up with:

link to TITAN RADIOS/ ROMS
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Radios/

hope that helps... idk??? if so, hit the rep/thanks button plz

there's just radios, and roms with radios... i dont see anything about a specific carrier.

(found link posted by D/\SH; thanks D/\SH!)

Re: noob needs help
 

whats the number your phone calls to connect to your vision service. like for sprint its #777. You can go into the connections from the settings and edit the current connection. then enter the number its supposed to call and name it correctly. But dont mess with it if your not sure of the number.

Re: noob needs help
 

I reloaded the current bell ROM and can connect to the network again and the number it dials is #777 but i can not see any other settings to tell it to talk to bell or any other network.

*edit*
i tried to set up a new CDMA network connection using the same parameters the the data connection uses but it asks me for a user name and password which i don't know

Re: noob needs help
 

call bell and tell them you accidently deleted your internet dialup number and you need help setting it up again....

Re: noob needs help
 

actually when it asks you for the username and password you can just leave it blank, press okay and it'll connect

Re: noob needs help
 

damn canadians do shit all backwards eh?

Re: noob needs help
 

lol im just sayin that it does work lol got nothin to do with me bein canadian lol

Re: noob needs help
 

hahahahah just messing ray i have to get them all out at once since you were gone for soooooo long. btw how is the sis doing?

Re: noob needs help
 

haha its cool man, my sister is just fine...mostly bc she hasnt met you yet lol

JK dash <3

Re: noob needs help
 

i tried that when i had the KAOS ROM on and it still wanted to connect to sprint for some reason :dunno:

Re: noob needs help
 

it says its connecting to sprint but its actually connecting to bell...they use the same number (#777) it may say sprint but as long as it connects then ur good...its not like sprint can hit you with a bill or anything

Re: noob needs help
 

so i started from scratch and installed the 2.whatever rom from the HTC website. then i finally located a radio only rom which is 3.45.30 or something. then i flashed the Kaos ROM and everything works great. (although i actually use MSN for my contacts list but that was easy enough to fix.) now my problem is i am assuming with my settings but my GPS does not work. as i type that it has finally locked on to a satellite. however I am only showing 2 on google maps. i d-loaded the MASPware GPSmeter v.4.17 so i could try some diagnostics. with that program i was able to find and track up to 22 satellites but would not lock on to any for more than a intermittant blip. i have done the regedit hack and changed the value to 4 as instructed and gone through a process i found on http://forum.xda-developers.com. i have searched to the point i dont know where to look anymore. so anyone have any great ideas or have i actually stumped the junkies?

Re: noob needs help
 

well, what i would do is this: flash back to the official stock ROM for your carrier. Then make sure you have the latest ROM for that carrier. Then I would run the UNLOCKER For the Custom ROM you are going to flash too. Then RUN the CUSTOM ROM. Make sure you take the battery out after the flash and HARD RESET so that the correct settings for gps, battery, etc. take effect. Hope this helps.....

Re: noob needs help
 

i actually did exactly that which got me to where i am now at a partial working state. today i had better sucess with the gps. i have been able to lock on to up to 4 satellites on the GPS program but Google still seems slow. and doesn't work if i am moving.

Ohh, Also i noticed that my incoming sms are showing up 4 hours ahead of the current time but out going show normal time. i havent even looked at settings for that yet though. if you have any ideas let me know :)

Re: noob needs help
 

sounds like you have something totally wrong with your phone..... are you sure that you unlocked the phone before you made the flash to a custom rom?
