Hey all,
Not new to electronics, but am very new to the Mogul and PDA/Pocket PC flashing..
My new Qwest Mogul will arrive tomorrow and, from what I've read, GPS is not enabled out of the box.. I've been reading that I can re-flash the device to somehow enable the internal GPS chip for use with my TomTom Navigator 6 s/w, but can't figure out how exactly to do it, and I don't want to jump into it and brick my new Mogul.
Right now I've got DCD_3.0.1_Qwest.exe which I picked up here (thanks, by the way!) but I'm not sure what to do with it, and (maybe I'm blind, but..) I can't seem to find a tutorial on how to use it with my Qwest Mogul..
If possible, could someone guide me through the steps on getting my Mogul setup so I can use get this GPS chip enabled?
Also, will I be losing any functionality re-flashing my Mogul? Will it 'look' any different?
Again, sorry if I sound like an idiot to you guys.. but I'd like to learn how to do this so I can quit bugging everyone about it haha
TIA,

should have what you need to know.
Basically:
Run the 2.4 unlocker
Run the official ROM w/ Radio
Flash the dcd_qwest ROM
Thank you very much!
So the instructions you've posted will, in fact, work for the Qwest Mogul to unlock/enable GPS Navigation?
-mak
EDIT:
Also, there are some things in that list of 'Removed' items that I would like to keep, such as; Entertainment (Games), Adobe Reader, etc.. I'm assuming the reader can be downloaded from Adobe, but how do I go about getting the games back?
I've now got the following, please let me know if it's everything I need, and what exactly each item is;
DCD_3.0.1_Qwest.exe
dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.1.rar
titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
As for the radio, it says it's included with the official Sprint ROM, do I use the Sprint ROM on my Qwest Mogul???
Please test it first
Just a recomendation here, but just in case you get a defective one you might want to not touch the ROM for a few days and put it thru the paces. If you get a bad one it is always best to know before messing with it. Afterwards, the 3.01 is a good ROM, but a bit tricky even for the experienced because things are not quite ironed out with the radio and serveral experienced people have injured their units, so I would recomend 'cutting your teeth' on 2.3.2, as it worked really well for me and is pretty cut and dried and the process is stable. In order to get the apps you want like acrobat and games you can use the kitchen and get them in there.
You also won't need the kitchen (i'd worry about that later, to be honest, not good to "cut your teeth" with a kitchen).
You do need the offical sprint ROM, since it includes the radio.
If i recall correctly from when i flashed my friend's qwest 6800, I did this:
olipro's 2.40
Offical sprint rom [when the customizations come up (ie. tap screen to begin), i flashed the DCD 3.0.1 qwest rom.
But it's been a few days so i'd search around here and on ppcgeeks to double check.
As madman said, however, I'd put the phone through the paces for a few days to make sure all is well. Run some benchmarks and such to put a strain on it. If you flash and figure out you have a bad phone...well, you're out however much you paid for it.
Good luck and welcome to the fun
Thanks guys, I think I understand now
I'll keep my Mogul stock for a bit to make sure everything is good, but Qwest offers an exchange for the phone if it's defective, and I have handset insurance in case it gets 'lost'.. so I'll be covered for the future there.
So am I correct to assume I should do the following;
Install titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
Then install Official Sprint ROM w/ Radio (where can I get that, or do I already have it??)
Then, during customizations, shut the phone down and install DCD_3.0.1_Qwest.exe, or an older version that might be less buggy?
If I do the above, it will unlock GPS on my phone? ..in the end, other than some applications, will I lose any functionality (e.g; Text Messaging, WiFi, etc)?
Thanks again,

shouldnt lose any functionality, make sure you write down all the information and such about msid, mdn, etc. Should be a post in here about that somewhere, I can find it for you on here for ppcgeeks if you need.

Here I go...
After reading this thread, I've decided to take the plunge and attempt the upgrade to my Qwest Mogul. Just to verify, I do the following:
Use Olipro 2.4
Flash to Sprint Upgrade
Flash to the DCD 3.0.1
Are there any codes or other information that I am going to need to write down before I start the procedure?
@ mak: yes, that's the right one, sorry, didnt check my links :/
@ reddhanky: read the PPCgeeks thread, dont forget to get the getspc program for your epst unlock code.

Managed to install olipro 2.40
But when I try to install the Sprint update (3.35), I get to the screen where it shows my current version (2.13) and to update to the sprint version... click next then next and the ppc reboots into bootloader, then the program crashes (ROMUpdateUtility has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.). Any ideas? I'm using Vista and have followed the instructions to the letter.
I dont run vista (usually i run linux actually, even successfully flashed in linux, i hate MS). But i'll look and see what i can find.
Is there a way to right click the RUU and choose compatibility as XP maybe?
tried compantibility mode XP SP2
Tried using compatibility mode but wouldn't work.
hmm
so you're in bootloader but can't run the RUU?
or you can't get into bootloader?
Success!
I've finally managed to upgrade my Qwest Mogul software to DCD's 3.0.1. The problem I had with updating to Sprint 3.35 was solved by right clicking on the install icon and setting the compatability setting to XP SP2 for ALL USERS (just changing it for the current user didn't work). Once I made the Sprint update, I entered bootloader mode ran the DCD rom and everything went smoothly.
Now to play with it and see how it works! I will update you guys to let you know how it goes.
Thanks to all, especially DCD and |||Bored|||, for the help with this process. It's been a bit nerve-wrecking for me, especially since I"m a Vista user on top of how few people have the Qwest Mogul. Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and did I say, THANK YOU!
Wow!
My Mogul seems to run much more smoothly (and dare I say it, FASTER) and after loading all my applications I am running at about 20MB free RAM. GPS works! I've been putting this darn thing through its paces and it hasn't crashed yet! So far, the sound through my Motorola s9 headset is working flawlessly...
Happy camper!
Qwest STock ROM
Been searching but can't find the stock ROM for the Mogul. Does anybody know where I can get it (just in case I ever have to send my mogul in for exchange/repair)?
Also, does anybody know if there is a way to put a shortcut on my Mogul to turn the GPS on and off?
Is the Internet working on your upgraded Qwest Mogul?
Reddhanky:
I also have the Qwest Mogul and tried to do the upgrade (as follows):
1) Flashed Olipro 2.4
2) Flashed Sprint ROM 3.35
3) Flashed DCD 3.01_Qwest
However, after the Sprint flash, I allowed that customizations to complete. When I went to DCD, everything worked ...except for the internet/data.
I went back and reflashed the Sprint ROM and just left it there. Again, everything but the internet/data is working (I can send/receive calls and SMS).
What's worse, I tried to downgrade back to Qwest 2.13 but do not seem to be having any luck (the ROM will install, but won't change the radio ROM ... then it just sits at the black HTC splash screen and won't boot).
Qwest is sending me a replacement phone, but before I send this one back (or brick the replacement), I'd like to know how things are working for you...
P.S.: If anyone knows how to downgrade the 3.35 radio ROM back to 1.40/1.47 on a Qwest Mogul, please let me know.

Back to normal!!!!
Just an update:
I'm managed to get my phone back to the Qwest 2.13 ROM. As it stands now:
Bootloader/SPL: Olipro 2.40
Radio: Titan_1.47
ROM: Qwest_2.13
To get the radio ROM loaded, I had to go the SD route. Specifically, after installing the Qwest_2.13 ROM (and watching it freeze at the black 'HTC' logo page), I found a way to load the old radio ROM:
1) I formatted my microSD card as Fat32
2) Placed the 'titan_1.47.CDMA.nbh' file on it as "TITAIMG.nbh"
3) With the phone powered off (battery removed), I inserted the microSD card and entered the bootloader (held the 'power' + 'camera' + 'soft reset button' ... keeping the 'power' + 'camera' buttons held after releasing the 'soft reset'
4) When the bootloader came up, it prompted to load the 'TITAIMG.nbh' file. I hit the 'power' button as directed. After about 5-10 min, the upload succeeded and I hit the 'soft reset' again to reboot.
Some items to note when it came back up:
1) The MSL code I had no longer worked (I got it after I did the Sprint ROM upgrade). Fortunately, when working with Qwest, they gave me the MSL code
2) The MSID info was way off (not sure if it was because of the Qwest ROM I used, or all the crap I did trying to clear/access the extrom info)
In any case, after resetting some of the EPST info, the phone reset and worked exactly like it's supposed to.
Next Step:
A) Retry the Sprint ROM (this time I have my M.IP password!!!)
&/or
B) Don't play with the Sprint ROM and just use DCD Qwest_3.01
I'll post any success/failures. But rest assured, if you do decide to play around, there does appear to be a way to get back to the beginning

So my 6800 has issues getting signal now, and my phone is loaded with apps and games, which I dont wanna lose.. I figure if I need to I will run spb backup, but still.. I do have the mr1 upgrade, will they ***** at me about that? I dont have the gps fix though. So if I do get a new phone, and did run spb backup, do I need to install mr1 and then run the backup or what? Any advice before I bring it to the store? My sister has the same phone and I put the mr1 on hers too, and side by side, hers has full signal and mine is struggling for 1 bar.. calls get lost a lot and texts always ask to be resent..
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give!
I recommend you backup your installers for your games/apps
And regardless of whether or not you have those, I recommend making a backup with SPB Backup or another program.
At the very least use SPB Backup or PIMBackup to backup your contacts, as I'm sure you're aware of with already upgrading the device.
I personally would flash on the stock ROM after backing up to see if it made any difference in signal, and maybe even flash to the 3.42.50 Alltel radio and see if that changes anything. If not, try to make sure everything is stock or MR1 on the device when you do take it back.
Always!!!
Always flash to stock rom before taking your phone in. Especially if you are doing things that your carrier wouldn't approve of like 90% of the people in this forum.
But the mr1 upgrade IS stock if you are Verizon, right?
i had to download mr1, it didnt come on my phone, and I thought I heard verizon wasnt supporting it, although that was like in sept when it came out
you can download the mr1 update from the verizon wireless website, so they must be supporting it.
I bought a second hand O2 XDA atom exec recently. So far I like the phone, except it seems a bit sluggish sometimes (compared to my HTC harrier WM2003) and the wifi will NOT turn on. I tried using the O2 wireless manager, and the WM wi-fi utility. They both fail to turn the wifi on. The wifi self diagnostic returns "GetAdapterInfo() return FALSE..."
After doing some web searching I am aware that it has 802.11b. I figured that its probably a driver issue. From what I understand the only way to install drivers is to flash it with a ROM that has working wifi.
Im not sure whether to stick with WM5 or move to WM6.
My current:
WM 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Version:
CMOS: 55.44
ExtRom: EX0033
Hardware: C1
Radio: R060822N_MN2ARC_RS00013
ROM: 20060721B1WWE
Ive noticed that most ROMs don't state if bluetooth/wifi/FMradio is working, or which input methods work, (ie. transcriber, block recognizer etc). Is there a way to tell without installing it on the device first?
Thinking of using either: (it won't let me post links.)

ROM upgrade froze at 73%
In fear of bricking my phone I decided to stick with WM5, I downloaded one of the official ROMs from the wiki. The update froze at 73% (I left it over night), so I downloaded another ROM (off the same page) and now its also frozen at 73%.
Anybody know why its freezing at that point?
Any advice to get my phone into a working state again? I'm thinking of trying a WM6 rom.
Im starting to wish I had done a ROM dump before I started.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, when I soft-reset the phone it says "Update Utility" and nothing more.
Tried a WM6.1, still gets stuck at 73%. Anybody know whats going on?

mines is froze at the boot screen how to do i fix it any ideas
I had an O2 XDA atom exec and so far when i had i was able to use the wifi promptly without any hassle. I just turned on the wifi and searched a connection then poof, i started browsing the net already. The battery however drained fast. If you are having trouble with the wifi, as you have stated that it gives error issues maybe you should have it reprogrammed or check if first if you have open wifi connections.
theblogpostwriters.com
i got one recently. Wifi connection isnt going well. I did once connect it to my 802.11b network, but a few minutes later it doesnt and never able to connect successfully
confused
the developer itself doesn't provide the legal upgrade of 6.5, or i mustn't have known it..

I rather think that you should first check whether your phone is really bricked, to read the instructions regarding this and to see how to recover from the brick click here!
After you have recovered you phone, I recommend that you use Windows Mobile 6.5!
Thanks!
Always glad to help!
Helo all - I could really use a hand here. This is the second time I have faced this issue.
When trying to make a call on my 614c when the battery is low, it crashes. Upon reboot, the radio no longer works and I cannot make any calls. It just goes into a permanent "Seaching" mode.
What I've tried:
Reboots - warm and cold
Removing the battery for 30 mins
Reset to defaults
Multiple different ROMs including upgrading and downgrading the Radio
No luck.
Last time (3 months ago) I ended up sending it to ipaqrepair to be fixed.
They said:
"the un-official hacked ROM installed in combination with a corrupt / mismatched GSM Radio ROM, these are the root cause of the issues"
I had actually NOT installed a non-official ROM until after it stopped working in a desperate attempt to fix it. But when they got it, it was a 6.5 ROM.
This time, I had upgraded it to 6.5....but I have since downgraded to the official ROM an installed the. .89 Radio update.
It wont work at all and I can't justify mailing it away for another expensive repair.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.....
Any ideas? How can I effectively "blow away" all the software/drivers and set the device up as new? IpaqRepair said it was corrupt software last time....
I've installed different ROMs via flash.dio and I tried the HP radio upgrade RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE. Are their files or settings that the installs I am doing do not affect - and if so, how do I repair/replace them?
Using Sim Manager, it says the phone is not ready. It's just like the phone radio won't initialize...
This phone originated overseas (Europe) - could that be somehow causing this issue since I'm using it in the USA? Something locking or changing and no longer compatible?
Not sure what else I can do and am missing my phone. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Still fighting with this....maybe onto something now?
When I get the asset viewer information for the phone it shows the radio is present and the firmware number.
the Stack Version, Bootloader Version, Filesystem Verions and Radio GDFS versions are blank.
It does show the IMEI.
I'm guessing I'm missing file/data for the radio....but reinstalling the Radio ROM HP offers has not helped (maybe not complete - just an upgrade?)
Thoughts?
Anyone have a copy of the original ROM and .81 Radio ROM?
Maybe rolling it all the way back might get it operational again....
Official Drivers/Rom/Radio for 614c
Hi,
You can download official drivers from HP website. The forum does not allow me to post the link. Just search for "official 614c drivers" in google and you wil get the link.
Also note, please install using WINDOWS XP os as installing this using other os such windows 7, windows vista etc is not possible.
Okay - I tried installing the software from the HP Website using XP - but it still isn't working. It's just like the software for the radio is corrupted and it won't replace it (does not list the versions like it should when you look at the software inventory).
Is there any way to manually do this? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone can help me get this resolved, I'm definitely buying them a beer.
Basically the GSM just seems to be bricked. Last time a software fix resolved it, but I'm not sure what software needs to be installed to get the radio working again.
What is the best way to blow it all away and start over? Is there a way to manually delete the radio files - or to look at them for versions/dates to see what is corrupt or mismatched.
