I constantly get a communications error, and it never leaves 0% on the status.... No clue on what could be wrong... Anyone have a suggestion? I've looked on all the faqs and didnt see anything else I could try.

That means you didn't successfully unlock.
If you put your phone into bootloader, it needs to say 1.20 Olipro, not 1.10, which it probably does.
Retrace your steps on the unlocking process.
- DogGuy
When I put the phone into the bootloader, it says 110... and I unhook and rehook up the usb cable, and the activesync doesnt detect the titan anymore.
I then use the exitbl program to reboot the device, and then continue once my titan reboots.
Then I get the 262 connection error after the status shows 0% on both the titan and my computer for a while.
Leave your phon ein bootloader mode and run the unlocker. As long as the screen says USB it should work.

Thats where you went wrong. You aren't done with the unlocker, and *do not* run exitbl until after the RUU has already run. The RUU is actually installing the unlocker, you are just sitting at a temporary bootloader to allow the 1.20's RUU to actually run.
edit:
So, run unlocker, do the disconnect-reconnect when told, when the RUU comes up, you need to follow it all the way through to completion, flash and all, and you'll end at 1.20 Olipro. Then you can finally use the exitbl. If the RUU does not come up, check the directory \TempTytn\ and run the romupdateutility.exe thats in there.
Good luck,
- DogGuy
Thanks DogGuy.. So I run it even if Activesync doesn't show a connection once I unplug and replug the titan???
As long as when you reconnect the usb cable the bootloader itself says USB at the bottom, you're just fine.
- DogGuy
Thanks, I got 1.20 now... So I'm off to try a rom.. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about dcd's version
can someone post instructions to get into bootloader mode? thanks
whoa, DogGuy posting at xda!!!!!
It's DogGuy to the rescue
WOOOOHOOO!!!!
I'm glad I read this first.
I will probably try this over the weekend.
BTW will this work on Vista?
same Problem
I ran into the same problem...
I used a different USB port and either turned activesync on or off... can't remember and did the unlock again. It detected the phone differently on the other port for some odd reason.
wow another one from dcd

Ok, I've been trying to update my 8525 for hours...here is my problem. First, I tried to HardSPL-v7 but I kept getting an "Error [240] File open". I think this is preventing me from doing any ROM update. When I try to run the Cingular ROM update activesync shuts down and I get a connection error, I think it is "error [260]". I have wiped or cleaned out my 8525 so that I am back to day one. I have tried both ROM updates on 2 separate computers and I get same error messages on both computers. I have searched the Wiki's but have found nothing, so please help. As you can tell, I am a virgin to ROM updates so please go gently.
I should add, my present ver. ROM AKU 2.3 (1.34.502.7018.01H) SPL 1.06 IPL 1.01. Radio is 1.16.
have you taken a look at my Safe WM5 Upgrade Guide??
If you follow this guide EXACTLY, you should be fine.

I have, I have even tried the mtty "fix" but I had problems with that as well. I get a modem connection screen but there is nothing about a USB connection.
Bit more info would be nice, which ROM are downloading, and where from??
Also what procedure are you doing to update?? EXACT info please.

Ok, I just tried it 2 more times, Hard-SPL. It flashes to the 8525 and goes into bootloader and shows the following "HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds" at this point activesync 4.5 shuts down the 8525 is stuck in bootloader (it never reboots) and after a few minutes I get "Error [260] Upated Error". Hard SPL shuts down and the 8525 is stuck in bootloader mode. At this point I have been disconnecting the USB cable and doing a soft reset, once the phone is on, I go into bootloader and the old info shows up SPL 1.06 and IPL 1.01.
Let me have a think, firstly do you have the latest versions of the .net framework installed?
I was able to finally run HardSPLv7, I had to do it on another computer. Now, I would like to update to RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe. I assume I should use the same computer that I used to successfully run HardSPL. Do I need to rebuild the rom file with RUUWrapper.exe (CustomRUU by olipro) & Dutty's Good NBH Tool, before running the RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe update?

Yes if you carry on the guide past flashing hardspl you will get the radio updated aswell.
Can i ask, what is different on the computer you used???

Off hand, the major difference would be Intel (worked) vs. AMD (failed) but I doubt that is the problem, you would be flooded with questions due to so many computers that have AMD chips. The USB cable was the same as well. I'll have to think about that...
Definatly check your "failed" computer is up to date with .net and everything else, most likely a software problem.
I have this problem as well..
AT&T 8525 windows moble 6 trying to install the hardspl v7.
v3.5 and 3.0 .net framework.
the RUUwrapper program gets to the 'verifiying info' screen then give me an erroe 240 message. 'the update utility can not open the requested file.'
any help would be great. Looking to add the touch it interface.
thanks,

Read the post Hard SPL at the top of this forum and go to page 116 ( I believe its post #1160) and use the sd card method. You don't need to use the pc at all. I generally flasah ALL os's using the sd card method as it seems to be safer then using the usb method. No "sync errors" to deal with.
Cheers...
I have the exact same problem..
When it goes to tri-color screen, the USB connection goes off and windows will pop up the search for driver dialogue box.. then afterward another dialogue box will appear saying Error [260].
I tried restarting my pc and device (even removing the battery) but still failure
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I loaded it thru the sd card just as the post above suggested. It loaded the hardspl just fine. My PPC seems to run faster as well.

One thing that i have learned from flashing my 8525 is to remove any USB device except the 8525. This has worked for me.

But my mouse is on USB. I might try on different computer and post back the results.
UPDATE
I tried using my friend's laptop and it installed without a problem. I think the issue is with the .NET framework. I installed the latest one before flashing and it worked fine. Hmmm.. Im not sure about this tho.
Hello.... Try the sd card method. You don't need the computer...
Sorry if I sound condescending, but, I seem to find a lot of people saying that they have sync problems. Solution, Take the pc out of the equation (except to load files onto sd card). It is SOOO much safer then using the pc, no "sync" problems, no chance of usb being disconnected, reset button being hit or , worst case scenario, power failure...
You have to either have little or no battery power or MANUALLY hit the reset button with the stylus to stop the flash...
And thats my 2 cents....
Refer to post #13 to find out how to use sd card method to flash hard spl...
Cheers...
sd card method???
how?
With PPCGeeks undergoing their upgrade, where can I download 2.40-olipro from in the mean time? I'm wanting to do some rom upgrades but it seems I need this to unload things for it. I'm trying to install the radio 3.27 and one of the titan 2.x roms with the GPS update.
here u go...
Mod Edit:
Unfortunately the attached file was for an earlier version - see posts below for 2.4

I did and 2.40 olipro only gave me messages saying that I needed it, not that it was called TitanUnlock. Thanks for the link.
Did I miss somthing?
I downloaded the file and it still said version 1.20Olipro did I miss something?
I saw that it was 1.2 but it didn't register that it was the wrong version and that probably explains the problems I was having trying to load the new rom.
olipro 2.40 here you go
this is the link when ppcgeeks.com comes back up you can get it.
however attached is the file you want and need. BUTTTTTTTTTT
you will now need to find the "re-locker" so you can relock the old olipro and use the new.
Thanks for the file, but I guess if I need to find another program, will wait for either ppcgeeks to come back up or sprint to release the offical rom.
Does anyone have the program for "re-locker"?
Here's the file with the proper name. It's not the easiest to find especially with the other side being down. So without being rude I shall set you in the right direction. Plus if you search for "titan unlocker" as per the other file name you are liable to be loading the OLD unlocker not new since it is generically named such.
edit....
Sorry I guess my interrution while posting this caused me to duplicate someones post....
Thank you for the links. You are far from being rude, but show you understand that all the searching in the world won't help when you don't have the right information and that one of the main supports is missing.
Thank you all for your help! I ended up googling and searching and came upon this post from another board.
"I had the exact same problem.
Connect your phone (while in Windows, not from the bootloader) to your computer and make sure it creates an ActiveSync connection.
Download the file from here: ftp://ppcgeeks:[email protected] . Extract it and it should launch the Titanunlocker.bat. If it doesn't, just launch the batch file from the place you extracted the files. Follow the prompts, and when it's done, you should have 2.40 installed. I too couldn't get 1.20 off, but after I did this, I now have 2.40 bootloader."
----------------
Also if you are stuck with the bootloader screen (rainbow) you can just run titan_exitbl.exe in the file I've included it will allow you to boot. Also you must disable activesync from looking for usb connections if you have to go the titan_exitbl.exe route.
The file listed able will actually attempt to update to 2.40 once you run it, really automated.
Thanks to PDAPhoneHome's jrider for the post.
I was on 1.20, but I didn't have to relock or anything to upgrade to 2.40. I just went onto the bootloader screen, then ran the RUU exe for 2.40 in the TitanUnlocker zip.
Oh boy, uncrackable Apache 6700!
I cannot get the hard SPL to crack!!!! Help!!!
I currently have Bell Mobility 2.13 on my phone. I have installed .NET framework 3.5 on my PC. I have done a hard reset on my 6700. Connected to activesync. I have tried to run kaiser-HardSPLv1, titanunlocker and Hard-SPL-MFG. I my phone locks up before I get to a tri-coloured screen. I disconnect from my PC and reconnect, then the Flash upgrader program starts and my phone turns off by itself and then my PC gives me an connection error. Any ideas?

Dude...this is the Titan forum, not Apache. Why you would try altering your bootloader with unlockers specifically meant for other devices (kaiser & titan) is beyond me.

This post shows that people are not worried about what they do to their phone. 911, you need to read the wiki for your phone (APACHE 6700) and do not use any software or roms for other devices (i.e. 6800, Kaiser, Titan, etc) unless you are 100% certain what you are doing. You are really close to hosing your phone.
Read this twice. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Apache
x64 compatibility?
Am running XP x64 edition and the 2.4 Olipro wasn't working, saying it cannot run in a 64-bit OS.
Any suggestions/solutions? I don't have access to any 32-bit computers.
EDIT: Already resolved elsewhere:
MrTek said:
it is because the sleep4 command is 16bit which is not allowed to to run on 64 bit os
just edit the cmd file in a text editor and replace sleep4 with pause
now it will pause when it runs which means you have to hit enter to continue which should be enough a delay
i just did this exact same thing tonight without issue

I have a VZW HTC6800 and I need to get the SPL 2.40 on the device so I can move forward. I get to the point where it ask for the disconnect/reconnect but on the reconnect I cannot get it to see ActiveSYnc. I have searched for an answer and cannot find one. What danger would I have if I did not disconnect and continue will I still get the 2.40?

you can make sure you got 2.40 correctly, by manually entering bootloader. (power+camera+reset) if it says that you have 2.40, then you got it. so you can proceed, if not then go back and try again to make sure you get it

You're not supposed to see activesync at that stage. Disconnect and reconnect, and continue with the process.
Make sure also that you HEAR the tones that acompany the disconnect and connect... You will hear tones.... On disconnect you will hear tones that decend, and on connect they will ascend....

OK...will try again...when I disconnect then reconnect this is done in the DOS window. After that I do I do hit continue and the RUU I guess you would call it comes up. In that procedure it request that an active sync connect be made and this is where I have been for hours trying to get it to connect. If I never disconnected in DOS I would be OK but I know this is required...
Oh well...must mean I do not need it...

Yeah it's fine...just keep going...as long as when you reconnect, at the bottom of the bootloader screen it says USB and not Serial, then you're fine.
Thx...that info did help...
For any newbies like me this might help. I followed the instructions hanging off each word for each step. One the SPL update entering into the Windows GUI and I attempting over & over to connect to active sync because the instructions state to do so before checking the box. Maybe it was dumb of me but I never saw it stated to ignore that step from WiKi page...so hope that helps someone down the road.
Pros...now that I am updated is it safe to add tweaking apps like tweaks2k2 or Pocket Toolman. I am sure some reg hacks are added but do not want to cross up anything with the new 312 rom? Please advise?
I have vista64 is there a way to install the spl using vista64 or the sd card
When I posted this I was on the 2.40 boot loader but now I am on the 2.47. This loader is loaded from the SD card so all the trouble I posted you will not see. Sorry I do not have the link but do a search for the 2.47 you will see it and how to load it off a SD card.
i really need help,
i started off connected to activesync but thn im getting error saying pput.exe is being used by something else now i have colored screen with TITA100 and SPL-1.30.Olipro
i dont know what to doo, please someone help, new in these filed.
Thank you
EDITED: got it working... sorry
Thx
my turn
I am trying this on my old 6800 ( broke rubber power button) before I do new one.
I am on Verizon, don't care about GPS, running STB but really like features on 6.5. I have read everything I can find and still confused. Do I need to change anything if all I want is 6.5?
Also, when asked to plug and unplug usb, I get tones remove and replug, but then I get connection error and stay in 3 color spl-2.40

stuck in bootloader 1.20
i tried to upgrade my daughter's Titan, firmware 1.4 so fsirly old, no gps. When I started the phone hooked up fine with Mobile Device Center. I ran Olipro 1.2 fine did the unplug and replug fine and got success message. Then couldn't restart the phone and now it won't connect through Device Center, so nothing else will run. Wanted to run Olipro 2.40 and then flash a GPS enabled rom and radio.
I have read everything I can find on here, but without a connection thru Device Center I am stuck.
Have I bricked the phone?
Ok got the phone working again with extbl.
Thank for listening.
Hi Folks,
I'm stuck in the tri-color screen for bootloader 1.06.
I have DCD 3.2.0 w/3.42.02 radio on the XV6800 and was trying to upgrade to radio 3.42.30. My system is Vista 32-bit.
I ran the Titan Relocker and it put SPL-1.06.0000 back onto the device and was planning on then putting 1.2 onto it.
Running titan_exitbl.exe says "Cannot open USB port. Please make sure, that USB connection in ActiveSync is disabled."
Unfortunately it is now stuck and even after ending the Sync Center service I can't get titan_exitbl.exe to pull it out of the Boot Loader.
Ideas? Thank you!
I could fire up an old XP laptop and try it from there.
Loaded ActiveSync 4.5 on an XP laptop, disabled USB connections, ran titan-exebl.exe and the device is booting now.
I'll continue on and see what else I can screw up.
Loaded SPL 1.20
Loaded 3.42.30
Loaded SPL 2.40
Device is back to working! Off to see if GPS is back after being lost with 3.42.02.
titan-exebl.exe
Where can I find titan-exebl.exe? Google doesn't turn up any results other than here?
titan_exitbl.exe
Never mind... just located it on my own hard drive!
Cheers!
Stuck on Bootloader
OK... I've tried titan_exitbl.exe, and it still doesn't work.
Here's my problem in chronological order:
1. I've been having a few problems (bugs) in my current custom ROM (PPC Kitchen 3.49 version), so I decided to re-flash to a stock ROM, see if the problems were fixed, and then try to flash back to a custom ROM.
2. I tried flashing to the Sprint 3.35 ROM. The RUU showed the progress bar on both my PC and the phone. But at 0%, I got a message saying "an error has occured" - or something to that effect.
3. I decided that the error was because I was running a custom ROM, and Sprint didn't like that. So I ran the Titan Relocker utility, thinking this would cure the problem.
4. I followed the steps on the screen and then got a message saying the relocker utility had completed successfully. The phone rebooted and went into the tri-color bootloader mode.
5. I retried the Sprint 3.35 ROM update, but got the same connection error, and the progress slider would never move from 0%.
6. I decided the phone had locked up and performed a reset with the stylus. The phone rebooted and went back into bootloader mode. The screen shows "TITA100 SPL-1.06.0000"
7. And that's as far as I've gotten. I've tried several hard resets using the buttons and the stylus together. I've tried removing the battery and reinstalliong... but the phone just goes back into bootloader mode.
I've tried both titan_exitbl.exe and UNI_Exitbootloader.exe, and neither utility seems to help. I get a message saying that "All data was sent... the phone will reboot now... please check your screen". The phone's screen blinks for a moment, and then returns to bootloader. Nothing can get it anywhere else.
I've tried different USB cables and ports. Activesync won't detect it, but the utility update software does.
When I run the Sprint 3.35 ROM update utility, I get an error at 11% saying "invalid vendor ID" and the update refuses to run. I tried to run the Titan Re-locker utility again, but it requires an ActiveSync connection. I've tried both enabling and disabling the USB connection in ActiveSync, but that seems to make no difference. The utility simply says no USB connection is available. The ROM update utilities will detect the device via USB - they just refuse to work with them.
I also tried running a DCD Tital 2.1.0 Bell ROM. The progress slider freezes at 0%, and then I get a message saying the RUU has encountered communication errors during the update. I've been through the recovery process the utiity suggests about a dozen times... it sill returns the phone to the bootloader screen.
So I'm getting pretty frustrated... does anyone have any ideas?
Try changing your spl back to 2.40.
Throwing it back into the tri color screen again and flash the sprint stock 3.35
But put it on the root of a fat32 formatted micro sd card in the flavor of under 2gb.
Just run the exe from your computer it will extract the files from the exe to some location on your computer, normally the ruu update folder.
There will be a ruu_sighned.nbh file locate it and copy it to the fat32 formatted card rename it TITAIMG.nbh
Let the phone boot into the bootloader and it should detect the file on the sd and update the rom for you, by stating loading ......
Then will prompt you to update press power key.
Sense you are not on sprint don't let the first time custimizations run ... pull battery once you get to your mobile today screen on first boot...
Use active sync or the sd method to update your rom to whatever you wanted originally.
Most full updates from carriers the ones that flash both the radio and rom will run regardless of the boot loader thats on the device.
Happy flashing
Just thought I'd toss in here that GPS does work, but I have to use GPS Viewer to get a lock on the satellites first.

Yes, i try from SD and nothing stuck on loading... from windows with RUU nothing 0% stuck and then UPDATE ERROR[262] now i don't know to do
2.4 doesnt use sd and it is run from a .exe. Make sure you aren't trying 2.47. Are you sure you tried this?

Ok, but how run from windows? If i cant connect via activesyncs the phone is on SPL mode i cant out of that and the msdos windows say "No device conected" when press enter from windows i cant unlock. Any idea? I'll try 2.47 but how run from windows with the phone en SPL Mode?
Please read. I said run 2.4 not 2.47. Put the phone in bootloader and it should say usb at the bottom. Then run 2.4 .exe unlocker. I think it should run without using activesync. And by spl mode do you mean the phone is in the bootloader.

Look i cant run Hard-SPL-MFG (Olipro 2.40 Unlocker) because when i run the Bat Or MSDOS Windows say "No device connect" question me if i want retray copy the file.
Ok so i guess it needs activesync. About your only option is to install a pregps rom so the phone will boot and then you can reflash the custom rom. Below is a pregps Verizon rom and radio that will work for 1.06 bootloader. Called rom 2.09.

No luck, method A SD Card Loading.. then cheking... then show a number corner 00028002 and say down Not allowed.
Method B, via PC and RUU then ERROR INVALID VENDOR ID.
Any idea? Thanks bro.
I think my phone is bricked... noway load the rom... i've tried load bootloader unlocked via SD last option and nothing!! damn this is so
Am having a problem with unlocking a Hermes using the SIM_CID Unlock version 3A
I appear to be stuck in a loop with the unlock process. I appear to have got as far as having installed OliPro (while still being at bootloader 1.01) but keep getting error 262 UPDATE FAILED
I can then recover to the tri-colour screen and process as far as RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL
But I cant get as far as updating the radio or whatever else it unlocks towards the end of the process and no new ROM loads (if that is what the unlocker does?) The percentage screen appears but doesnt progress at all. Then I get ERROR 262 again.
Is starting to the bootloader screen a sign of a bricked Hermes? I can get SERIAL to show and can get it to change to USB on that screen when I plug it into a computer but cant get any proper communication with the unit from the computer with that screen in place: ActiveSync obvoiusly wont start. As I left the 3A unlocker, it said RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL but does that necessarily mean that I have a brick now? I thought that the installation of olipro by SIM_CID unlock version 3A means that the unit is now hard-unlocked?
(Yes, I did try Hard-SPL-V7.zip but cant set up any communication between the exe file and the tricolour screen)
If you are using XP, untick "Allow USB Connections" in activesync. Put Hermes into bootloader and connect to PC. Run RUU_Wrapper.exe. Should fix the problem.
I thought that tricolour screen meant that it is ONLY starting in bootloader mode?

I am a bit lost: How do I get into bootloader mode? I thought that it starting in the tricolour screen meant that it had started up in boot loader mode? Is there some combination of pressing buttons and 'on' switches like on my Blue Angel?
As it appears to have got stuck in a mode while in an upgrade process which didnt work when this error occurred, when I get it started, what should I flash to get the bootloader updated, the SIM and CID unlocked so that I can choose which ROM to flash? Should I continue with the SuperCIM_CID unlock or Hard SPL?
I have fully unlocked another Hermes before and have been playing around with ROMs but this one seems to have worked out differently: I was under the impression that loading OliPro meant that it was unlocked?
(Sorry about that answer: I will try RUU_Unwrapper.exe again)

I did what you said and immediately I unchecked the tick in USB, I heard that the computer was establishing communication with the Hermes
But nothing I could do would let RUU_Wrapper.exe Run and communicate with the device. It just kept reporting NO DEVICE.
So I tried the super SIM and CID unlock again and it tried installing OliPro again and couldn't do so, saying that (having communicated with the device) it couldn't communicate with the device either. I tried retrying a few times with no success and pressing NO with equally no success. So I tried canceling out of the application. it thought about it for about three minutes and then simply started communicating, running the upgrade program. Now it starts the update process and I can see the progress.
However it stops at 21% and doesn't move any further. It has been that way for a few hours now. not sure if it is charging while connected, I suspect not and am wondering what to do now which wont brick the unit??
V7 still wont run but v3A still will!

This is getting curiouser and curiouser: This device both will and wont coopeate at the same time. But nothing I could do would let RUU_Wrapper.exe Run and communicate with the device. It just kept reporting NO DEVICE on error 260\.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser: (Especially if you arent too petrified about bricking it) I can perform the recovery successfully from whatever I do but cant get v7 to communicate with the device. However 3A DOES still communicate but still gets stopped at 0% on the progress chart. Is this a known problem, that SuperSIM_CiD wont work with OliPro already installed at 1.40? That it WILL get stuck at 0% or 21%?
Now I cant hard reset either: I dont get the white screen, it just goes back into the bootloader, still showing IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.40 Olipro.

The computer IS communicating with the device (as I said it does give the 'ding' showing that the computer knows it is there) but it wont hard reset! It just goes straight to the tricolour screen immediately on startup. Even using a three hand method of pressing both buttons, pushing the reset in and putting the battery in at the same time gave the tricolour screen. And Windows Explorer cant get into the device. It seems to see it but there is no tree at all. So I cant use the Post 1160 method to flash from an SD card.
Even more baffling, i have now flashed a stock ROM successfully and v7 STILL wont communicate with the Hermes!! In desperation I even moved the directory to the root of C: Are some of these devices encrypted differently from others? So suddenly it boots properly and I immediately did a hard reset and erased everything and now Guess what? It hangs at the Windows Mobile screen! Needing a hard reset all over again
Should I just keep on trying Super SIM and CID unlock again and again until it works? (I assume that I have no longer got OliPro on it, though it does show a SPL of 1.40) There must be a way of unlocking this unit but this total non-cooperation doesn't seem to be covered in the Wiki. Is there a version of the Hermes like the Wizard which is more difficult to unlock than the others?
Sorry to reply again when no one gave any ideas on my last posting but I am wondering, horror of horrors, whether this might be a hardware problem?
I am now stuck at the tricolour screen ( 1.01, SPL 1.40.Olipro)) which turns on whenever I put the battery in. Connecting to the computer doesnt make any difference and obviously I keep getting ERROR 260 which seems to be a connection error meaning that the computer either isnt connected to the device (or that some software is conflicting somewhere, which is unlikely as flashing to the stock ROM did work before I tried to run V7 again)
Is there any possibility that running SuperCID&SIM unlock (which has never completed) caused all of this and is there any rescue procedure or should I just assume that this is a hardware problem now (or should I do a fresh posting)?
Is it inherently suspicious that tricolour turns in when I just put the battery in AND that even though SERIAL changes to USB on the Hermes, running the v7 hard update utility causes ERROR 260? [Or cant you run V7 when you already have OliPro installed somehow?]
There IS communication: Though I reported in my last posting that I could flash the Cingular ROM, flashing to the Cingular ROM now gets consistently stuck at 14%, sometimes with an ERROR 264!
