Hi to all.. i want to upgrade my tytn. I've read a lot & lot of threads, posts, wiki, but actually with all those method to flash & upgrade i don't understand nothing!
Here aer some steps, in accordance with THIS useful guide :
a) I make my pda superCID & verify it
b) I want to upgrade to ROM version 1.35.255.2
c) Now i want to flash the trynity gps enabled radio (1.35.00.11RadioOnly(GPS-Enabled)Trinity2Hermes-SSPL-comp.zip), but the ROM upgrade installs bootloader 1.09 as shown HERE.
The useful guide says that if i have a BL > 1.04 i can't perform a radio upgrade only (in my case GPS-Enabled)Trinity2Hermes-SSPL-comp.zip ) what i'm missing?
My Actual ROM is 1.18.xxxx & BootLoader is v 1.04
With the "configuration" mentioned above, will i have problems (BT, WiFi or GSM/UMTS ?)

You can now do radio only upgrades in other Bootloaders. Make your own or downlaod 1.27, 1.33, or 1.34 is already made and available on the WIki Radio Rom >Edited Wiki.
Well, i've had already downloaded the tool you're talking about... so
1)I make my devie supercid
2) use the tool & flash the 1.35.255.2 ROM
3) (At this point i should have BootLoader 1.04) flash RADIO
am i right? which RADIO should i use? i want to use THIS ONE (the first or second?) on the xda ftp
1.35.00.11RadioOnly(GPS-Enabled)Trinity2Hermes-SSPL-comp.zip
is stable or i have to install 1.27, 1.33, or 1.34 ?

All those radios are good, but make sure you FULLY understand the GPS thread. At the moment GPS will not work until a hardware mod is completed, the specs are not final yet.
yes i know, thnx
PLZ give me HELP!!!
i have updated my pda to ROM v 1.35
I've updated the radio with v1.35 Here (RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only_+GPS.zip)
Now when i turn on my phone app, it switch off itself!!! wich radio rom i have to flash to have ALL WORKING (gps included without antenna?)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Edit: I have dovnloaded & installed the SIGNED GPS driver, now works well, the phone turns ON.
4 GPS related question i will use the appropriate topic (after reading it)
Thanx! PS: However i have Bootloader 1.09 now... so if i want to create a custom exRom i can't??
i have upgraded a few before
used Olipro's tool, flash SPL, then unlock / CID unlock
flash using file from xda
but this particular unit, HTC branded
everything goes smooth, except when trying to flash WM6, it will get stuck at 1% and then give communcation error.
i can flash back to original HTC rom OR dopod rom, proving CID is indeed unlocked but it just won't flash WM6..
what can be wrong ?
nevermind
used ATHENA_WM6_Flasher instead of ATHENA_X7500_WM6_Flasher and it worked
CHECK GPS
Hi,
I'd the same problem and i found that it stops when it is updating GPS, the rom you've used doesn't have the GPS update, could you please check if the GPS works with the WM6 now or not! mine isn't working even if i downgrade to WM5 .. Wifi is acting strange as well ..
everything seems fine
GPS not working could be related to when using unlocker - step 3
the radio rom is incharge of GPS / wifi / i believe, flashing with original WM5 should fix it if anything
i did double check that STEP 3 is done successfully, and it does work and it confirms that the phone is SIM/CID unlocked, if i try to flash the WM5 rom with the it stops at the GPS part! could it be bad blocks in the NAND or so!
i did try to flash using the Tmob 1.2 DE version that is the only T-mobile Wm5 around, it has the same problem, stopping when updating the SIRFBoodloader.nb, and the error 00018003 in red at the top of the screen that when i use the SD for updating, updating through the cable/windows gives me a communication error... i called HTC asking them for support they forwarded me to the maintenance section and they don't answer there phone .. sh***T

Don't think that's gonna work if flashing took place before unlocking...but I could be wrong. Hope so. Good luck.
GPS not working
I unlocked, had problems at step 2 (black screen), upgraded to AP3, reboot cycle, got that fixed, upgraded to AP4 and everything is good but no GPS. I'm sure it has to do with the unlock process not completing.
How do I flash just the GPS portion?

What is your radio version. AP4 needs 1,50 or greater. if this is the case upgrade the radio to 1.50 ot 1.57 which is available in this forum.
Good luck
I've read around the forum and wiki, and it is not clear to me the requirements of upgrading only the radio. My questions are:
1. I have a cing/Att 8525, running the latest WM5 release by att/htc from htc's att site; My phone has not been sim / cid unlocked. Can I upgrade my radio only without unlocking the phone? I upgraded to the official ATT WM6 release from this site, but I lost sync functionality for Microsoft Money for PPC; this is 90% of the reason I bought the phone in the first place, so I'm going to go back to the WM5 release. However, the 1.48 radio in the WM6 release gives me better reception. So, can I upgrade the radio only in the wm5 release w/o unlocking the phone (which is still under warranty)?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes, the second question is that if I clear storage and reformat the phone sometime in the future for warranty purposes, will the radio revert to the WM5 version?
Thanks in advance!
Yes you can flash the radio ROM only. Have a look at the wiki for instructions and download links to extracted radio ROMs (including 1.48). You do not need to unlock your device but installing Hard-SPL first is a very good idea if you want to avoid having to make a call on your warranty.
Yes you can downgrade by flashing over another radio - provided that it (like 1.48) uses radio bootloader 0108. If it uses an older bootloader version you will not be able to downgrade at all. You can check which bootloader version is in use on the wiki page listing radio roms. However, I wouldn't worry about it for two reasons: 1) if you can't downgrade you are stuck on 1.48 now anyway (anothe reason you ought to have Hard SPL installed as a failed downgrade may brick your device); and 2) virtually all official recent WM5 updates will include a radio sufficiently new that it uses bootloader 0108.
U R The Man....
I had read and read and read, and finally stepped out on a limb and did exactly that (hardsplv7, and radio rom 1.50) Prior to reading your response. but you actually answered my remaining question, concerning my warranty. I greatly appreciate your response.

But if you follow Mrvanx's guide to downgrade the SPL to match your radio version, this should also work not so?
The "radio bootloader" is part of the Radio ROM image, and completely separate from the main SPL bootloader. Once you are on a Radio ROM that uses radio bootloader 0108 you can't downgrade to an older radio bootloader version.

Ahhh, ok sorry, i got a bit confused between the bootloaders.
Thanks for the reminder ma499. Really appreciate it!

I had heaps of problems before, I just reflashed the original ROM and all was working well again, The radio version that come with the ROM is old.
Then I followed this guide
And updated to Hard-SPL v7 fine
Then I got to the Radio update step, I tried the radio it said (1.43)
It got to 7% and failed,
Then I tried 1.48 and 1.50
The same happened.
Why can't I update my Radio? Is there a trick or something you guys use?/
I tried it the SD card way and Its the Same.
Thanks.
Can a pro please explain how and what they used to get their PDA from its original state to having a cooked OS and a working Radio?

That guide works 99% of the time. There is really only a small handful of possibilities:
1) You did not follow the guide exactly
2) The file you got for radio is corrupt (unlikely since you tried multiple files)
3) Your connection is unstable (unlikely since SD card method fails)
Hmm... Try the bricked hermes thread - is a sticky in the Hermes forum. It is long, but you may find something. It seems to me that the 7% hang on radio happens from time to time - but I am not sure if there is a standard fix. Maybe try the google search in my signature - use terms like hermes radio 7% brick or something. I am sure it is fixable. You got HardSPL to load properly, right? So your bootloader screen shows SPL version 2.10 Olipro or something like that?
The interesting thing is that you got it back to oringinal ROM & radio... You are using the latest Custom_RUU to do all the work. Makes me wonder if it is a CID problem, although I don't think you would even get to 7%, you would just get an immediate failure.
You could use MTTY to restore the radio back to factory I beleive..
You might also need to make sure your device is CID unlocked..
Thanks for the help guys
I updated to HardSPL-v7 and that went fine, it read IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10.Olipro afterwards,
Then I attempted to update the radio and it failed, I followed the guide exactly.
Then I tried the SD way, the same.
Now. I'm doing the SIM and CID unlocker v3a by pof (Did it the SD way) and the IPL update completed with OK, The SPL went OK to, but the radio failed so i did a reset now I going to run that unlocker program and see if it succeeds,
then I will run the Factory ROM and restore it to how it was, then I will update to the Black Satin Cooked ROM, and I'll just have to stick with the old radio until I find a new method that might work.
Whats the go with the downgrading to bootloader 1.04 like it says in the wiki everywhere, what will that do that will help the radio update that the newest bootloader can't?

If the CID unlocker runs fine, try the radio again. There is no reason that a new one would not work, if the older one works routinely.
The downgrade stuff is for people who want to return it to it's near-exact shipped condition - usually for warranty or sale purposes.
So, I ran the original factory rom
I did it via the SD card, as it is a lot more useful this way.
Heres the Results:
IPL - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM -

WTF WHY THE F##K DID IT STOP AT GSM AGAIN FFS!
you can obviosly see why I'm pissed, its acting up like the radio is a BANK VAULT with 8" STEEL. I just can't flash it at all, but for some reason I have ran this ROM a while back and had no problems, so there must be a way
Did you run the CID unlocker successfully?
Have you used MTTY before? You may want to do that.
Had you successfully flashed back to the old ROM before?

It seems like it - so the SAME ROM will not work now either?
I ran the newest dopod wm6 rom which was only the OS, some splash screens and the EXTROM, and to my amazement the GSM worked, the Radio and IMEI reappeared in the device information, but after a soft reset its gone again. it seems the GSM is still there but I can't touch it at all.
When I did the SIM and SuperCID unlocker it gets to the hacked GSM and fails,
but after a reset, I ran the tool and ticked bot options. then it said Success!
How can I check to see if it worked.
My bootloader is 1.40.Olipro (the one the SIM and CID unlocker downgraded me to)

You can use mtty to see if the supercid process worked. The Hermes Wiki - in particular THIS SECION will be very helpful.
Yep its definitely SuperCID,
still reading through pages looking
I spent HOURS messing with **** on my phone, downgrading bootloaders, trying different ROMs, Stuffing with every command I could find for MTTY and anything else imaginable.
I got the radio to update, but its still stuffed
I added this to the Wiki because it works:
METHOD 2
Also, Ive found that Hard-Reseting the device restores GSM.
1. Remove the battery
2. wait 10 second
3. Re-insert Battery
4. Turn the device on
5. Watch for "NO GSM" on boot
6. if you see it. Return to step 1. (sometimes you have to do it up to 20 times)
If you see two lines of text flash up instead of 'No GSM' it means the GSM is functioning. For me this restored my radio in just 4 tries.
This ONLY works if your radio is NOT corrupted, but if you tried to updgrade and stalled between 0% and 15% of the GSM upgrade, it depends on the radio version you were trying to flash. But it's worth a try, the only downside is if your phone crashes, it will more than likely boot up with 'No GSM' so you'll have to do all over again.

I did what the last post said, had it booted with my radio working, and then I ran the RUU for the GSM 1.50.00.00 radio upgrade. and THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE, AFTER ALL THAT STUPID STALLING ON 0 and 7%, it UPGRADED!!!!!
I have exactly teh same situation here.... my device is SUPERCID and its stalls on GSM upgrade every time
I already tried like 10 different versions of radio bootloader updates and none of them worked for me !!! It always stalls at 11% or 7%
MMTY output
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x830E7601
SPL CRC checksum = 0x921BC30
CE CRC checksum = 0x26BC961C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xE7056FB7
Radio Image CRC checksum = Checksum: Wait interpreter timeout
0x0
Can somebody help ? I am sure there is a way to flash the new radio version !!!
There is a defenitite fault in RADIO ROM and I wish I should have never tried to upgrade to 1.50.0 . Last coule of days have been a nightmare for me. I read the entire foruma and stil could not find a solution to my problem.

sure i've done it too many times, atleast after the 7nth time i've stopped counting but still i have no GSM .
any help is much appreciated folks .
WBR
Also whatever ROM i install after it starts for the first time it starts to customize and install oem apps it stops while customizing at the theme part i don't know why but it did .
do a "checkimage" in MTTY, if your radio is corrupt then that method wont work, also about the updates stalling, do task 28 in MTTY, then reboot
MMTY output
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x830E7601
SPL CRC checksum = 0x921BC30
CE CRC checksum = 0x26BC961C
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xE7056FB7
Radio Image CRC checksum = Checksum: Wait interpreter timeout
0x0
So is the radio corrupt ?
What is task 28 ? WIKI SAYS - Format DOC - What is DOC ? Is it related to RADIO ROM ?
Anyone encountered this error before? It gets to 8% and then phone reboots and I get this on my PC screen. It says Error [328] (see attached image)
I am using Radio 3.37.75 (verizon), and my bootloader shows 2.40 Olipro
Any ideas?
Try this RUU it is version 3.16.4.3.
Yes, thats the version that I am using. I think... when I run it, it says 3.16.4.3 in the window title bar. (see screen shot)
EDIT: I tried it anyways, and I got the same thing. Do I have the right bootloader? Would a different one help?
what are you trying to flash
trying to flash my verizon xv6800 (which has an old dcd rom on it, radio 3.27 i think) to the new radio: 3.37.75.
Then i will flash with a newer dcd or ryan mogul rom.

Just follow my post here and only use the files and Radios that I provide. Make sure you read a few times so you understand, and dont skip anything. Most important based on what I have read in this thread. Use only the radios I provide on my share site and take your time paying close attention.

Thanks, I'll do it exactly like that. I will keep you posted. I have to get a new micro SD card, I only have an SDHC 8 GB
The radio can be updated via usb. I do it all the time. But it does hard reset the phone in the process.
I would try a newer radio like 3.42.40. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRadioROMs
I got my radio from there and have no problems updating the radio with ruu.
I followed the directions exactly like in Ryan's post mentioned above, (used USB instead of SD card), and it works!
Fully functional. I used Radio 3.42.02 (somewhere I saw that it was recommended over the others, went with it to be safe). Then Flashed Ryan Mogul Rom 2.2 Heavy.
Thanks everyone!

i have spl olipro-2.40, rom dcd 3.2.6 and want to upgrade radio to 3.42.50 using usb. should i downgrade spl to 1.20 before upgrade the radio? or i stick with current config and update the radio using RUU?
Still cant load radio
Obtained 6800 originally Alltel, not sure which radio, Had Olipro 2.40 installed, would hang on Alltel splash screen.
Could not get any RUU loads to complete (from USB or SD card), usually would fail around 50%.
Eventually was able to get RyanMogul 3.1 Cricket (lite) to load, but shows no radio and eventually screen goes blank. Never goes into active Sync mode.
We force boot loader mode and try and load several radios including Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.50.Alltel.rar, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.35.04,
but keep Getting error 328 from RUU when I try to load a radio..
tried RyanMoguls "Here is a fix for GPS for all you VX6800 users that gps will not function!!", but cant run relocker because no active sync connection.
Stock Verizon ROM RUU also gets error 328.
Any ideas.
