Unlocker for Verizon is out!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
AWESOME!!! So will any CDMA rom work? And what of radios? I mean how different of sprint vs verizon devices are we talking right now?
So will you port over your R4R or will it not work with the DCD base?
Hmm, I'm really wanting a touch pro now-well I already did, but...

Scott...good to see you over in this forum. My Touch Pro is supposed to be in today, so i'm switching over from the "Titan" forum and trying to read up.
it seems the unlocker is getting close, but for us Alltel people, that particular unlocker as they say might not be best for Alltel yet. I'm going to read a bit more, but if you see anything soon, let me know.
I've got a buddy that has this thing, and out of the box, this thing is bad. I'm hoping to put a DCD or some ROM on it quick.

Don't quote me here, but I'm pretty sure Alltel's TP is the same as the sprint touch pro. You should be able to use the unlocker .37 in the link and use any Alltel touch pro rom. I don't know what's different from each carrier for settings if there's no Alltel rom, but I do know that the different VzW hardware will need more than just carrier changes.
This is awesome news!!!

Does anyone know the current bell mobility PRL? My phone seems to be stuck forever in roaming mode. I flashed DCD's bell ROM and my phone is constantly stuck in roaming mode and it shows the carrier as Sprint. Any ideas or do i need to re-program my phone?

Ahh -- sorry dude. Wish I could have helped.
If a Bell user with a working device has QPST installed on their PC, we could extract their PRL to share with everyone. (and i'd like a copy for my kitchen)
How do I extract the PRL? I haven't flashed the new rom yet and I'm a Bell Mobility user.
Cheers,
Tom
SUCCESS!!
So after hours of searching, it hit me like a ton of bricks....The PRL file has to within the stock rom
After that it was a case of looking up the current PRL
so here you go Bell users.... FLASH AWAY!!!
PS: Remember to delete the .txt extension before upgrading
I am a Bell user, and I flashed yesterday, but I don't think I had any issues with roaming. How can you tell if it's roaming?
The EV icon is replaced by the roaming triangle, normally the phone will warn you that you are in roaming mode if you get an incoming call or if your data connection is about to commence provided you have the roam guard settings set to ON

Thank you, I don't think mine is roaming then. The phone will tell you with a verbal message (similiar to "The number is long distance. You will now....") prior to you answering it then?
Bell Mobility Users
Bell mobility users who flash the new sprint rom will need to update their radio with the above prl otherwise your phone will constantly roam
How can I help? I heard dcd is looking for a PRL to add to his 3.0 kitchen for Bell Canada. But you will have to guide me cuz I don't know how to extract the PRL. I tried ##228# but it just asks me for an unlock code...

The latest version of the PRL is already posted on the first page and i'm sure DCD already has it by now
I have a Bell Mobillity PPC6800 as well. I had updated it with the latest official ROM from UTStarcom's website. Am i at a certain risk because of this if i try to use this latest Sprint radio on it ? (and the DCD 3.01 as well ?)
Any Bell user that took the plunge yet ?

Already flashed the new radio and built my own rom using DCD's 3.0.0 kitchen. Got a crapload of ram to boot, GPS picks up really quick, and haven't had any lock ups, still testing bluetooth but has been all positives. Granted you flash correctly, there is no risk involved and this place is littered with tutorials
Good luck...

It seems there is a lot of work going on for the 6800. I'm unfortunate enough to own a 5050 and I'm having a hard time getting information. I know that it wasn't offered with bell for very long.
My main objective is to unlock the GPS receiver (why does bell disable this stuff!?) Can someone point me in the right direction?

Everywhere I look I see people talking about problems with different radio versions...copying certain IDS...and it's got me a bit concerned, I'd rather not brick anything.
Would you mind, in step form, telling us how you flashed yours with your custom dcd there?
I'd really appreciate it.
Hello all. I am a current Sprint Mogul user patiently waiting the Touch Pro like everyone else. I have an individual who is interested in buying my Mogul when I upgrade, but he is on the Verizon network. Would the Mogul work on Verizon's network? Would I have to use a custom rom and the verizon carrier cab file, or would a factory verizon rom work??
Thank you all for your help.
previous thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415077
Short answer yes it will work with a custom rom, cab and some other requirements. Check the link in the above post, search for my post somewhere at the bottom of the first page.
Okay here's the deal. I have the opportunity to purchase a brand new Sprint 6800 for fairly cheap. I have Alltel as my curent provider. Can someone guide me into flashing it with WM 6.1 with that touchflo & GPS for Alltel? I read the FAQ but it didn't really say anything for my situation. Thanks in advance for any and all your help.
As long as you can activate the sprint phone with your alltel service... you have no problem.
Once you have activated and confirmed it's good... Just flash DCD 3.2.5 and the radio per the instructions and run the alltell carrier cab.
the Radio / OS roms are carrier independent... The carrier Cab is what customizes it to work with your service.
so how can i find out if I can activate with Alltel?

Get ESN Number from phone and call Alltel to see if they can activate it.
Also in the future you should make the subject of the post a brief description of the issue.. Like "Help flashing sprint 6800 on alltel service with WM 6.1"
You'll get more people who have had a similar situation or think they can help you to click on the post and supply good info.
Will do.. Thanks
I've looked through countless posts and on the wiki and have yet to find the answer to this question. If it has been answered and I missed it, I'm sorry... I'll look harder next time.
I just purchased a Fuze from a good friend of mine who works in an AT&T corporate store. Since this version supports the US 850mhz 3G band, I need to know if I will loose that support or possibly brick my phone by flashing a radio from a version of the Raphael that does not support this band.
Thanks again for the help.

Not yet. I like to be security unlocked prior to any sort of flashing. It's just a preference thing after the Kaiser Radio from Hell fiasco.

Verizon and sprint run CDMA and EVDO, and ATT runs GSM(edge) and UMTS, I'm not really such you can just re-flash the radios to swap networks, I maybe wrong but I would like to know also. Anybody?

no no no ... you can't swap gsm radio rom to a cdma phone ... it won't work and you might end up bricking your phone.
i believe what the op is asking if he will loose us 3g ability if he flashes a european 3g radio rom that doesn't support the att 3g band. And imo i think yes you will loose 3g by doing that. If this was avoidable than everyone who bought a international rapheal could have been using it here in states with att/tmobile 3g...

Doesn't Olipro's Raphael Unlocker do just that? Are you saying that you just haven't done this yet or that this program needs to be updated for the Fuze? Also I noticed the SPL version is 1.95.0000 on my Fuze, not 1.90. Do you think it is safe to flash RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_1_90_3? Happy to test my new Fuze but just need a little reassurance first I'm not likely going to brick this new puppy. Thanks.
Good to see some top Kaiser guys here with the Fuze. Give me comfort in knowing we will have a strong Fuze following.

i believe there are a few people who successfully flashedhe Fuze. I'm in the process of doing so as well, just flashed Romeos2.
now this question might come off as stupidest you'll ever hear, but please bear with me as this is the first time i'm flashing a rom. do i have to do anything about the radio after flashing the rom? (a better question is: does flashing rom get rid of the radio so that I have to get a new one?)
thanks guys for the help.
Hi, has anyone separated the radio from the Rhodium Tmobile rom and tried flashing it to their Touch Pro? I was wondering if this would enable the Tmobile 3G bands because I am assuming they both have very similar hardware. I have the HTC Fuze if anyone was wondering.

Yeah someone did and they bricked their device if I'm not mistaken.
Read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497270
Man I thought it hasn't been done yet. Well, maybe someone can figure out how to do it. Maybe it was just a bad radio? I was reading through the Rhodium rom thread and it seems like they have gotten corrupted rom uploads before so maybe he extracted it from a corrupted source.
i hate to break it to you but it can't be done. the might have similar hardware but to date, there has never been a successful band change on any phone, ever. there is no chance as the radio version doesn't even affect the radio's frequencies. no matter what radio you flash, you will never be able to get Tmobile 3G from a phone that doesn't come with the 1700 or 2050 (We should come up with a name for this band because it's different from the rest of the world's 2100). I know the Fuze has the 2100 band but it is the rest of the world's version. Maybe in the future someone will figure this out.

DON'T DO IT!!! SERIOUSLY.
Yes, it was me who bricked his phone trying it. A simple look at the Radio number is a dead giveaway that the radio is completely different. But hey, if you'd like to brick your phone like I did, give it a go.

Wait a minute. Why would that happen if your phone is security unlocked?
I was thinking the same, maybe you flashed a corrupted radio? I am not telling people to kill their phones, just maybe someone smart enough to disassemble the radio and see if it can be used on the fuze.

The radio is incompatible with the phone. I was able to flash the phone fine, but because parts of the Rhodium radio stack appear to occupy the same memory area as the Fuze bootloader, the bootloader got corrupted by the flash, and my phone became a semi-brick.

Well, you can surely ask around, but P1Tater likewise bricked his phone trying to flash a Rose radio that was also incompatible. The same thing happened to him (corrupted bootloader).
I don't think there's anything wrong with the Rhodium radio from that ROM, but once the new 3.44 Radio is available, go ahead, have fun with it. I'm sure we'd all like to know what happens.
Yes, do NOT do it.
The Bootloader is launched by the OEMSBL or Radio Boot loader, with this overwritten you are toast. This is not a Tilt, so entry into the secure area is roughly impossible.
The rub is that if you do it you are screwed because the only way to recover envolves opening the device, finding the right place to solder & buy yourself a Jtag box.
Closing this thread so it fades away... hopefully everyone will heed the words of the Captain.
