FIXED! Read below for details.
So i've been messing with my mogul for nearly 4 hours now trying to convert it to dcd's rom..and i've flashed it twice now and after it reboots from being 100% loaded it just sticks on the HTC black screen..I've read and read and searched and searched and cannot find a definite answer. Can anyone help?!
basics?
did you load the radio rom?
did you load the unlocker?
you may need to restart the phone to the boot loader and resend the rom
(press and hold camera and power and push reset button)
I did TRY and reload the radio and unlocker..now im stuck at the black htc screen where it says no radio though. bleh. i can't even get it back up and running. what do i do?
edit:
I'm at the multi color screen..ive tried running the unlocker RUU and then running dcd's ruu and it doesn't work..and the radio RUU does not run at this screen...I can't get the phone back to a working status! Argghhhh. It wont let me run the relocker unless im in activesync...but i can't be recognized in activesync unless the phone is up and functional..so..? how do i relock it to put hte stock rom on to try and unlock again?
I am kinda stuck in the same spot, but mine is is the verizon logo screen, i tryed doing the power,camera and hte reset button but its till stuck, i tryed the relocker but i need to be in active sync
any help?
what i dont get is..i flashed it with the unlocker, then the rom then the radio...isn't RUU just overwriting each one or something? it doesn't make sense to me. and all i can do is run RUU..i did the rom, then the radio and it was stuck in the bootloader so i used the exitbl and got out of it but then it just went back to going to the HTC black screen saying no radio. ..i'm gonna try and flash the rom from a sd card next..we'll see what happens..

This just happened to me after flashing the ROM but not the RADIO yet. Flashing the Radio fixed the problem.
I've flashed the radio..then its stuck in the BL and i use the program to get me outta it then it just keeps saying i have no radio! what the hell..this sucks. i'm in the worst possible situation to have to buy a new phone
There are three parts to the "operating system" of your phone.
1. Bootloader (also called locker, unlocker, re-locker, SPL)
2. Radio
3. ROM
The three components are saved in discrete portions of the device's memory. Flashing one does not overwrite the others. All three must be compatible for the phone to operate properly. If you stop the upgrade process recommended by the ROM compiler prior to completion, your phone may not operate properly. If you flash the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, it contains all three components.
To use the 3.16 stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on the stock OEM 3.16 ROM, you must have a level 3.xx radio and a level 2.xx bootloader. The current implementations of those are the 3.27 radio and either the stock bootloader distributed with the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, or the Olipro 2.40 unlocker.
If you are running a level 2.xx stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on a stock 2.xx OEM ROM, you must have a level 1.xx bootloader and a level 1.xx radio.
Custom ROMs are not always named using the OEM convention, so you must research the custom ROM to determine whether it is based on a level 2.xx or 3.xx stock OEM ROM.
I hope this helps all of you get your phones back up and running.
FIXXXED!
So heres the best description I can give of what was going wrong for me..Its my first time trying flash to a different rom..and well it didn't go so well. First, I used the titan unlocker, then installed the radio (not sure which one) and then some form of the newer dcd rom and i was getting stuck on the black HTC smart mobility splash screen where it said "no radio". I had to have messed around for over 5 hours today at college trying to figure it out by doing different arrangements what order i installed the radio and unlocker and rom in. I couldn't get it to connect with activesync so i couldn't use the titanunlocker.exe..all i was going off of was RUU's. Im not sure whether or not what OS I was using effected it..I was playing in Vista earlier today but had done the correct steps to install the drivers, and now this last time i did it on XP. This last time I ran the 3.27 radio RUU as found.. here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362563 )...Theeen I ran this form of the newer sprint ROM. (I'm pretty sure they say it comes with a included in this RUU, but i'm just stating exactly what I did) the .651 rom can be found.. HERE ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806 ) He had a error when packing or something so you have to manually rename it to .exe because it was missing a e..I did this within winrar before extracting..ran that and about 10 minutes later it booted up and i've got service. I'm not going to promise that this is 100% functional all i'm saying is im out of that horrid black HTC screen where I can now go on to try and get the correct rom i wanted. Hope this helps..may be a bit confusing and probably did things wrong but this was my first time doing it all.

Greetings all. I made an error during the upgrade to the new 3.16 ROM and accidently booted back to the stock bootloader before flashing the radio. Now I freeze on the splash screen because my ROM is the 3.16 and my radio is the old stock, so I need the VX 6800 verizon stock image to go back and then forward, or a way to get the 2.4 bootloader back on so I can flash the radio forward. utstar.com does not have it and the sprint one gives a vendor ID error, so I need the VZW image, anyone got ??????Thanks
Put your phone in bootloader mode (hold power and camera while soft reseting). Now flash the radio ROM. It should work fine.
Failed, because ...
Because the bootloader got back to stock and it will not let me upgrade it again, guess it is stuck til i get stock ROM
Then flash the new bootloader. You shouldn't need to go back to the stock ROM to accomplish this. However, the stock ROM is on the PPCGeeks FTP. In vboyz files.
How do I get there ????
I am a member there as well but how do I get to the FTP server you speak of ??
You don't need the stock rom.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB.
Hold the power button, camera button, and use the stylus to soft reset all at the same time, this will put you into the bootloader.
Your PC should detect the phone and it should say USB at the bottom of your phone.
Run the 2.4 bootloader self extracting executable and use the RUU to flash the bootloader...if the self extracting executable doesn't work, you can just extract the files and run the .bat file.
Once the new bootloader is on there, you'll have to get into the bootloader using the power button, camera button, and soft reset again due to the fact that you have the ROM on there without the new radio. (your phone will freeze at the verizon splash screen).
Once back into your freshly flashed bootloader, follow the same instructions above and flash the radio.
Done.
If you do decide to go back to stock, remember that Verizon's latest version is 2.09 (Sprint is at 2.17 or something).
I need it too.
Just in case I have to send the phone in for repair.
been trying all that for hours
I have been trying all the ways you have mentioned for hours and with the 3.16 ROM and the old radio and bootloader it will not let me do the new bootloader,,,,,,,just have to find the 2.09 stock ROM, my only way out at this point. My login at geeks will not let my to the ftp server.
I know this has been posted in the forum here a couple of time but here it is again (though specific to the Verizon ROM folder). ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/vboyz
Username: ppcgeeks
Password: ezupload
Something must be up....
There's no reason why you would need the stock rom to flash your bootloader....
Guess you can try it though.
I seem to have done the same thing, however when I go to reload the newer bootloader it freezes at 0% and I get the ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR each time, even when going through the "recovery" process it guides through.
Any ideas?
Heres where we are now, conclusion
Well to update everyone on whats happening: The unit was less than a month old so the VZ store swapped it out for me, although I wish I could have kept it to putter with because I think I know what went wrong and how to fix it. First of all, I too had the bootloader fall back to the stock one and I got the error mentioned above saying that it could not copy the files for the 2.04 bootloader, so it was stuck with the 3.16 ROM, the old radio, and the old bootloader which causes the thing to freeze at the splash screen, and because of the stated incompatability between the old bootloader and the new ROM is causing the error at 0% when copying files. The reason I wanted to fall back to the stock 2.09 ROM was because I know it would load and allow me to go forward again. The reason I know is that I got the Sprint 2.09 from the utstar.com page and it went to 2% on the ROM before giving the 'VENDOR ID' error and stopping, so this means that it would take the VZ load if I could get it, but it is not on the utstar page. I did get the file from VZBOYZ ftp but I am pretty sure that it is not totally stock as it goes to 0% and fails, not even as far as the sprint ROM did so I think that it fails the needed checksum validation in the stock bootloader. If I had suspected that the stock image was not available in the first place, I never would have gone forward with it in the first place and would avise all others (Verizon units that is) NOT to do it either until a true stock ROM and radio load exist to put it back. VZBOYZ does not have the radio load so even if it passed the validation and put the ROM back you would have a brick because the radio load needs reverting also. Sprint users are lucky because you have this, and I will try again once I know I have the stuff to go back. Thanks for all the help and someone please let me know if the real stock loads do appear somewhere, probably will happen when Verizon releases the 2.17 update then the 2.09 for them will appear on the utstar page i bet. Thanks all.

this little bit of info helped me with the same issue. and my phone after 228 was able to make and get calls and also use the internet.
i now have the new radio and the new dcd 2.20 rom
I have since learned (After reading through hundreds of posts on this thread), that is WRONG for the VX6800. After installing the bootloader Hard_MFG_SPL_2.40_RUU_signed, I should have installed the Radio 3.27 Rom FIRST, and THEN the Titan 2.0 Rom.
Just to let you know in more detailed terms what I did to get out of stuck nightmare that is the Verizon white screen with the red letters and big graphic check mark on top:
(1) Got the Tricolor Bootloader Screen to come up. You must simultaneously: (a) hold down the power button; (b) hold down the camera button; and (c) use your stylus to press the little reset button in the hole at the bottom of your VX6800. This should pop up the Tricolor Bootloader screen if you'd installed this first, as instructed.
(2) Then plugged the VX6800 into the computer's USB port. As the bootloader earlier instructed, I made sure that USB was NOT enabled in "Windows Mobile Device Center" (should be in your start->programs menu). Click on connection settings and turn off the checkbox for USB connection.
(3) Then ran the RADIO 3.17 Rom loader (not the Titan 2.0). It loaded in Radio 3.27 without a hitch. The VX6800 then rebooted. It was not stuck on the white Verizon screen with the red lettering.
(4) Then ran the Titan 2.09 Rom loader. It loaded without a hitch. It then rebooted, and I was done with this portion.
this is from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1870224
Here is a breakdown of what i did and whats happening.
1.2 ollipro installed already
loaded new radio
loaded new rom
Now the windows mobile 6.1 screen would come up and ask to tap screen but would reboot at this screen continously. I assumed this was happening because 1.2 ollipro was installed and not 2.4.
I then decided to reinstall my old radio and old rom and now the phone gets to the htc bootscreen and reboots immediately over and over again without getting far at all. What do I do?
For TELUS P4000
BOOTLOAD MODE
1. Try getting to the BOOTLOAD MODE by pressing POWER, CAMERA and RESET all a the same time
2. You should see at screen with red green blue white
New RADIO and CE ROM
1. Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe/titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe (follow the instructions)
2. Run titan_radio_3.35.04.exe (very simple GUI instructions)
3. The titan will reboot by it's self, put it back in BOOTLOAD MODE
4. Extract dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.0.rar to a directory and run BuildNB.bat (it takes a couple of min)
5. Select the stuff you want and don't forget you carrier (TELUS....)
6. Press the PLAY button (when finished, which is hard to see, when play is green) close the BuildOS
7. In a DOS windows it will build the CE ROM (follow the instructions)
8. Titan will reboot
i cant get 2.4 on there because i can get activesync up and when i get it to run through the boot load it gets to 100% in a split sec but leaves 1.2 on and not 2.4 even though it didnt record any errors
I'm having the exact same problem. Got the new Rom and radio installed. I had to go back to 1.2 to do it. But now i cant get 2.4 to install. I run the program it seems to install but still says 1.2 and is stuck on bootloader screen. even though it said itupdated to 2.4 anyone got any ideas on how to get 2.4 on there?
Try entering the Bootloader mode of Oliprio 1.20 and connect the USB to your computer.
Although it wont start an Active Sync session it will still allow you to load thing on such as a ROM or flashing program.
Well once you are in Bootloader and have a USB connection then try installing Oliprio 2.40
This might work.
Hi, ive done that and gone through the 2.4 install. after the RUU runs the progress bar goes across in like 1 second. it reports it successful but it still says 1.2 and is now stuck in the 1.2 bootloader. as if 2.4 never installed. any suggestions?

So you installed 2.40. Well once you installed 2.40 go into bootloader again and make sure it is 2.40 and then try flashing the Radio first and then the ROM.
This is how i did it:
Installed olipro 1.2
installed radio 3.35
installed dcd sprint 3.0
Now like everyone else it continually reboots cause of olipro 1.2. So i put it in bootloader and it says 1.20 spl. So now i go to install 2.4 Olipro. RUU runs and the progress bar goes to 100% in about 3 secs. AFter it goes to 100% the mogul screen flashes and it says olipro 1.2 as if 2.4 didnt install even though on my comp it says that ruu update was sucessful. So im confused. I have tried it on my computer(vista64) and my old one xp 32bit. When the batch file is running it says "no device connected. would you like to try again?" w/ a yes/no/cancel. If i hit yes it just loops. if i hitno it will ask me this about 4 times then RUU will load
Ok, for anyone stuck with an older version of olipro and the new radio:
While in the bootloader, load an earlier version of your carriers rom. This should let you boot again and will let you install the newest 2.4 olipro bootloader so you can flash the newer roms.
If you can't find an earlier version of your carriers rom you will need to find an older radio rom and an older custom rom and flash both seperately to get it to boot.

Instead of running the RUU right after installing 2.4 over 1.2 try canceling the RUU and then manually enter bootloader mode in 2.4 and then install the RADIO following the ROM.
I figured it out. feel kinda stupid. was trying to install 2.4 from the boot loader of 1.2 forgetting that it needs to install files over to the phone before it flashes. :/ thanks foryour help though
Furman69...
I'm having the same problem. Could you post a step by step?
Thanks
I think I bricked it.
Actually I think I made a bigger mistake. I'm a VZW user, and I flashed the sprint/htc update hoping I could just flash dcd on top of that = stupid. The radio settings were all f-ed up. So I believe I read in the dcd 3.0.0 thread to run the titan relocker and then flash the stock vzw rom. Big mistake. Once I relocked it, It wouldnt let me flash vzw 2.09 and now my phone's in bootloader saying
TITA100
SPL-1.06.0000
CPLD-9
I think I'm screwed because It doesnt have a rom on there, so I can even unlock it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Flashing the sprint update, then flashing dcd on top of it would have been completely fine if you didn't let the sprint customizations run...i've done it to 3 phones already.
I don't really get what you're saying though. Are you stuck in the bootloader? Can you boot into any kind of rom? What happens if you try and soft reset, does the phone do anything?

Yeah I wasn't that smart though . But yeah I'm stuck in bootloader. And I don't even know how to go about putting a ROM on there because it's locked. I've already tried to redo the Sprint/HTC 3.35 update, but to no avail. It says wrong vendor. I don't know... It's brand new too, that what sucks about it.
I finally got it to work after going back and forth installing old roms and radios and then installing 2.4 and then the radio and rom as ususal.
To be honest with you guys i beat myself up because i should of done it like this from the get go 2.4,radio, rom, and thats it but i read about people having trouble and dcds post, and I just went through more trouble that way. Thanks for the help.
If you're stuck in the bootloader, download the exitbl program to forcefully exit the bootloader. This will reset the phone. Tell me what happens after that. Does it boot any sort of rom? Does it just hang at a blank screen? Let me know.

I had a similar experience. Here is what I did.
I had the following installed before I started.
2.40 bootloader
3.27 radio
DCD 2.3.2 rom
I wanted to upgrade to the latest and greatest so I did the following. (This was before anyone knew about the 2.40 radio flashing issues.)
Flashed to DCD 3.00.
Failed Trying to flash 3.35 radio.
Read some more and like you tried to relock my phone using titanrelocker
Locked bootloader
Failed trying to flash Verizon Radio (downloaded from ppcgeeks.com)
Failed trying to flash Verizon Rom 2.09 (downloaded from ppcgeeks.com)
So at this point I was stuck in the original 1.06 Verizon locked bootloader, but I had 3.27 radio and DCD 3.00 rom.
Execed titan_exitbl.exe (included in 2.40 bootloader) in vista which returned a nice error. (Error accessing USB blah blah blah)
Execed titan_exitbl.exe in XP with ActiveSync and phone rebooted
Phone booted into Windows Mobile 6.1 and rebooted itself.
So I plugged the mini USB cable back in hopeing it might prevent it from rebooting. Luckily it did.
Reunlocked Bootloader using 1.20 olipro
Flashed 3.35 Radio
Flashed 3.00 DCD Rom again. (Just in case)
Phone booted into Windows Mobile 6.1 with mini usb cable still plugged in.
Upgraded bootloader to 2.40.
Re-Insert my NAM settings into EPST and rebooted.
*228 to get latest PRL.
Has been rock solid since.
I spent all day yesterday researching the DCD upgrade until I thought I was ready - boy was I wrong. I'm not computer challenged! I've been writing FW for over 20 years. Things shouldn't be this hard. Anyway, here's what i did:
1) Downloaded olipro 2.4 (except somehow I got 1.2 - not really sure how that happened). Installed it and everything was fine (expect it saysSPL-1.20.Olipro)
2) Downloaded DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe and tried to install. It appeared to work, except I never got to customization screen and when the phone re-booted, I just go the Alltel splash screen.
3) Tried to soft-reset, same problem
4) Tried a hard-reset, same result
5) Went into the bootloader and notice I was at 1.2 instead of 2.4, so I downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe (which I believe is the code name for Olipro 2.4) and tried to run it. The batch job fails because it can't talk to my phone (says no device detected) I suspect this is because the phone cannot run ActiveSync.
6) Then I read that 2.4 should be used for GPS ROMs and not for non-GPS, So I thought I needed a non-GPS version of the ROM. So I downloaded DCD_Titan_3.0.0_Alltel.exe and tried that. This also appeared to work (dl to 100% and the phone reset). But again the phone hung at the Alltel splash screen (now it says "no Radio")
7) I'm begining to panic. I trie to download the original Alltel ROM, but they've just put up a new version. So I try RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe. It causes the phone to reset after downloading 12%. Then stops with a "Command Error"
8) Finally I decide the bootloader must be hosed, so I tried to use the re-locker. Titan_Relocker.exe. This also will not copy the files (due to no ActiveSync) so I extract the files and try to run the RUU directly. Still no joy, the download immediately goes to 100% and when the phone resets it still says SPL-1.20 Olipro.
9) Searching a little more I found the microSD upgrade option. So I copied each of the NBH files (one at time of course) the the root directory and renamed them TITAIMG.nbh and reset into the bootloader (yes, I formated to FAT32 first). The loader never seemed to even ready the SD. It never asked if I wanted to upgrade.
So, here I am. Stuck with a phone that only seems to be able to run the bootloader. The BL does change between USB and serial when I un-plug and plug the USB cable. I can boot to the Alltel splash screen - it says "No Radio". The other red letters that used to appear when the HTC splash appeared are gone.
Any advice? I'm pretty desparate.

Pop Out the Battery for a minute
Have you tried popping the battery out for about a minute while its not plugged in yet?
Your problem is you didn't read the instructions carefully enough.
First, you never should have flashed a 3.x.x ROM without making SURE you properly had the 2.4 bootloader installed.
Second, you tried flashing a 3.x.x ROM BEFORE updating your radio to 3.35.04. It says in numerous threads as well as on the first page of the thread that NO radio is included.
What appears to have happened, is you have a 3.x.x rom installed with no radio, and the 1.2 bootloader which can't even boot 3.x.x roms.
My question to you is, have you ever unlocked this phone before or before all of this were you running stock? If you still have the stock bootloader installed and not 2.4, then you need to find the STOCK alltel radio AND rom. You then must flash the stock alltel radio, followed by the stock rom. All you need to do is plug the phone in with usb, manually enter the bootloader and run the RUU's for each.
Once you get your phone back to stock and it boots, only then continue on to reflash. Now, this is VERY important...DO NOT attempt to install any 3.x.x rom without first making SURE you have the new bootloader installed correctly, and second, running the sprint update to get the 3.35.04 radio installed.

Yes, numerous times. Sorryy I didn't mention this in my post.

Agreed, but what is done is done
Second, you tried flashing a 3.x.x ROM BEFORE updating your radio to 3.35.04. It says in numerous threads as well as on the first page of the thread that NO radio is included.
I thought the DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe image contained the radio. Obviously I was wrong.
What appears to have happened, is you have a 3.x.x rom installed with no radio, and the 1.2 bootloader which can't even boot 3.x.x roms.
My question to you is, have you ever unlocked this phone before or before all of this were you running stock?
I was running stock.
If you still have the stock bootloader installed and not 2.4, then you need to find the STOCK alltel radio AND rom.
I'm pretty sure I don't have the stock bootloader. It says SPL-1.20.Olipro
You then must flash the stock alltel radio, followed by the stock rom. All you need to do is plug the phone in with usb, manually enter the bootloader and run the RUU's for each.
I've tried the latest stock ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe but it re-boots the phone while downloading (@ 12%)
Once you get your phone back to stock and it boots, only then continue on to reflash. Now, this is VERY important...DO NOT attempt to install any 3.x.x rom without first making SURE you have the new bootloader installed correctly, and second, running the sprint update to get the 3.35.04 radio installed.
IF I get the phone back as stock, I doubt I will EVER try to re-flash it again.
Here's the link to the old Alltel Rom and Radio. http://www.htcamerica.net/support/ppc6800/software-downloads.html
If that doesn't work for you, you should be able to load up any of the older 2.x radios with an older dcd ROM, then upgrade to OliPro 2.4, then load the new Alltel Radio and Rom which you already have.
I've had this exact same problem (almost) except with Verizon (shouldn't be any difference whatsoever.) With the "No Radio" error messages and such -- and the key is the microSD flash. The reason it didn't recognize the image is (probably) because of the way you formatted your SD card. It can't be formatted in windows and work, you can't use a quickformat, and it has to be unconditional. The /x dismounts the volume so the volume is totally accessable. /a:512 tells it something about how many sectors to use or something -- idk -- but it works.
Open a DOS window (start, run, type "cmd")
this is your command:
format x: /fs:fat32 /u /x /a:512
Replace x: with the drive letter of your microSD card. Be sure of this.
Other than the drive letter type it exactly as is says.
1. Run the titan relocker.
2. Rename the stock alltell rom(s) as TITAIMG.NBH one at a time if there is more than one (radio and rom, unless they are together) and put them on your microSD one at a time (in the root directory.) Order shouldn't matter, but I ran ROM then Radio. Open bootloader and make sure it's not Olipro. The screen should pick up the image on the microSD card.
Flash, after 100% remove the battery, replace, and then hard reset.
These are the steps that I took with my Verizon issue and it worked perfectly.
Once this is done don't give up on the modified ROMs. Sometimes when I upgrade friends phones it won't let me go directly to 2.4 Olipro. I have to flash 1.2, then a 1.2 compatible RADIO and 1.2 compatible ROM. Then I have to flash to 2.4 unlocker, 2.4 compatible radio (usually 3.27) and then a radio 3.27 compatible ROM (pref. DCD 2.3.2.) After which, I can flash the stock Sprint 3.35 (without ever booting the OS) and then flash the DCD 3.x.x ROM.
Hope this helps you out --
I've tried the latest stock ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe but it re-boots the phone while downloading (@ 12%)

The latest stock alltel rom is a 3.x.x rom as it states in the file name...3.35.671.9
As I said before, you need the 2.4 bootloader to boot any 3.x.x roms.
If you have unlocked with 1.20, then you have a little more work cut out for you.
This is what you need to do:
Since you have 1.20 and you can't get an activesync connection, you need to first flash an old custom alltel rom (NOT the stock alltel rom). DO NOT flash any dcd 2.x.x rom as the poster instructed above as it also requires olipro 2.4. I believe if you search for dcd's 1.70 kitchen and roms you'll find one there. You also must flash radio version 1.40. THIS will allow you to boot up into windows mobile and finally get an activesync connection. Since you can't boot right now, your best bet is to flash both of these with the microsd card.
The next step is now that you can boot into windows and have an activesync connection, you need to RELOCK your phone using the titan relocker, follow the directions carefully...and if you get stuck in the bootloader after the relock, you need to use the titan exitbl application that will force you out of the bootloader.
If all is well you now should have olipro 1.06 (stock bootloader) back on the phone. Here's the catch, you won't be able to boot the 1.70 rom anymore...so now you must manually enter the bootloader (power+camera+reset) and NOW flash the stock alltel rom and radio again with the microsd card. Once you flash the stock rom and radio, you will now have the stock bootloader, stock rom, and stock radio.
Now just unlock with olipro 2.4 and MAKE SURE it is on there correctly. Then run ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe which DOES include the 3.37.20 radio as it also states in the file name. After that, you are free to flash a dcd alltel rom, as you will already have the proper bootloader and radio.

excuse me, but if you read my directions in order, that's not what it says to do in the section about fixing his current situation.
AND,
If you carefully read what I had to say about future upgrades:
"...Then I have to flash to 2.4 unlocker, 2.4 compatible radio (usually 3.27) and then a radio 3.27 compatible ROM (pref. DCD 2.3.2.)"
In no way do I mean to flame, but please read.
Thank you kindly

Here's the link to the old Alltel Rom and Radio. http://www.htcamerica.net/support/ppc6800/software-downloads.html
If that doesn't work for you, you should be able to load up any of the older 2.x radios with an older dcd ROM, then upgrade to OliPro 2.4, then load the new Alltel Radio and Rom which you already have.

Thanks dizwayney. This was the link I needed. From here I was able to re-flash the original Alltel 2.14 ROM and radio. It is back to it's old self (well - except for all my data).
Oddly enough it still says SPL-1.20.Olipro for the bootloader. Oh well, as long as it boots I really don't care.
One other thing I learned during this adventure. You can't flash form a 4GB microSD, it must be 2GB or less (in order for the 512 byte allocation to work). If I'd known this earlier it might have saved a lot of time.
Again, thanks to everyone who responded.

Hi I'm looking for some help. I tried upgrading my XV6800 to the windows 6.5 rom but I think I might of messed up. I tried to update my radio first but ran in to issues.
I used Oilpro 1.20 to try and tried to update the radio but along the way messed up while trying an older rom and I'm currently at a Verizon screen with the message "NO RADIO" at the bottom. I'm assuming the radio rom was erased. I might have gotten confused with the roms and used a rom without the appopriate Radio. When I try to flash that rom back to a stock Verizon upgrade it just ends 11% in to the flashing process and the rom update utility returns a Error 290 screen.
Currently I can get the oilpro 1.20 bootloader to still load up but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried updating the ROM to DCD's older 3.20 roms, which did complete but I still have that screen coming up. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I should do next? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try using NueSPL 2.47 it's more current
Doesn't have have to be run on the phone itself once inside Windows? The only screen I can get up is the Verizon (splash) screen where it normally lists the rom and radio, or the oilpro boot loader screen. I actually can't get back in to windows to run the nueSPL 2.40.exe file.
Is there a way for me to flash the radio back from a bootloader screen and USB or SD card? The thing is I actually tried to take the 3.42.40 radio and use the Flash Rom Utility to see if it would flash the radio rom back on but even though the process completes successfully, I still get the no radio error so I guess it doesn't work. Thanks for the help, I think I may have been a few of the idiots out there who screwed things up and didn't make sure the radio was up before attempting any rom upgrade.
You should've changed the bootloader first. Your radios that you are trying are not compatible with your bootloader.
Flash an old stock rom via SD, then update your bootloader to 2.47 once you can get back into windows, then update your radio, and then your rom.
Yeah that was one of the first things I've tried a USB update back to the stock Verizon 6.1 ROM, but for some reason it prematurely ends at 11% with the PDA Phone Update Utility throwing a ERROR 290 message. This is the first time this has happened as I've flashed with this same rom tons of times. I've been looking online for the past hour on how to flash the ROM from a SD card if I can't get in to Windows. But all I could find was the USB update utility and it ends at 11% Am I doing it wrong? any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you can still get in the bootloader then you should be fine....I would put it manually in bootloader holding power and camera simultaneously and poke the hole to get it into bootloader.
Once you do that plug in the data cable and run Olipro 2.40 or Nue 2.47. It should be able to take after that.
Basics steps to flashing a phone:
correct unlocker-->stock ROM-->custom ROM
Most custom ROMs will not include Radios that why you would run the stock ROM first to install the radio and then run the custom ROM. Alot simpler then trying to update the Radio by itself.
AWESOME! I got it back up, thanks guys. For reference purposes I'm going to restate the problem and solution incase other noobs run in to the same issue.
PROBLEM:
I installed oilpro 1.2 during the process of installing a new radio then a rom. Along the way the rom install failed. I tried to reinstall a stock Verizon rom RUU 3.57 & 3.37 radio but it failed at 11%. I was then stuck at the splash screen with a message that said NO RADIO. I could still get in to the boot loader with the power and camera button. But the stock Verizon rom did not install anymore.
SOLUTION:
I used titan_exitbl.exe to exit the bootloader and I went back to an earlier rom found here, rom 2.09 & radio 1.30. That one actually installed. It seems to have worked. I'm back in windows now but I need to uninstall oil pro 1.2 and get nuSPL 2.47 on there before I move further (it looks like while it's still on the stock RUU won't work for me).
Do you guys know how I would go about uninstalling Oilpro 1.2? Will Titan_relocker do it for me? I'm not sure if installing nueSPL over oilpro will do it.
Use this ROm from Verizon to get the Stock 6.1 back up and running. It's the MR2 rom

Glad to hear you got your phone back up
As far as I know you should be able to just install 2.47 and it will overwrite your old bootloader without problems. I could be mistaken but there isn't really a way to "uninstall" a bootloader, just overwrite it with a different one.
unL33T is correct...just run Nue 2.47 and let it overwrite the old one. 8p
Yeah that's what I thought too, but when I tried to over right it with 2.47 the 1.20 showed up again so I used the titan_relocker tool. Maybe I did something wrong. I'll go recheck, thanks for the replies guys.
Have looked around but cannot find a stock Cingular HTC Titan (Eternity ?) rom. Previous thread hosted by Football is defunct.
Can anyone please point me to Stock Singular HTC Titan rom?
I am trying to uninstall HSPL ( I am at the dreaded 2.5 SPL, ATT Titan 1) and need this stock rom to try to revert back to 1.0 SPL.
For my ATT HTC Titan I, I debranded, SPL, HSPL and it says HSPL is there on the Phone's SPL screen - but I cannot use any custom rom that uses Radio 17. Only radio 16 works.
Thanks
my SPL screen shot
My SPL screen shot is attached below
BTW, anyone see any issues with the SPL screen above?
I am unable to run any rom that needs radio 17.

Your HSPL is good.
When you flash rom that needs radio 17. you Flash radio 17 too?

There is nothing wrong with your phone; in fact there are many here who would give their life to own your phone. For many of the custom ROMs here you have to flash "radio 16" with radio 17. If you have not done this then your phone will be stuck at the HTC logo on startup. You have "gold" in your hands and you don't know it.

You are one of the few with the ATT Titan's to have HSPL on there.

locky you, have hspl 2.5, if you want change my divece for your divece....... what you said? :angel:
Guys, I have tried the roms listed here on this site that also have the associated radio files as well But everytime I install a custom ROM, with the radio 17, my phone stops at th e HTC logo and never moves from it.
Also, I cannot update the SPL 2.6 from HTC now - it always stays at SPL 2.5
My only need is to unlock my phone so that I do not have to keep enterting the unlock code everytime the phone restarts. I have bought the unlock code from ebay and it does work, but have to keep entering it after every boot cycle.
I found the cingular Eternity 1.0 ROM, installed it - but the SPL continues to remain @ SPL 2.5 with the HSPL info as is on the SPL screen.

"Lund123" I need you to listen to me for a moment...if your device is stuck at the HTC logo on startup, your radio is incompatible with the ROM on the device. If you have already flashed the custom ROM and it requires you flash the radio it will be with the entire package you downloaded. I use Eburon 2.1; the radio and ROM are separate and both must be flashed from bootloader mode. To use Eburon you must flash the radio that comes with it. Your device is HSPL; it needs no further tinkering with. The custom ROMs can be flashed at will. One warning, a return to official stock ROMs will likely re-lock your phone. The goal of these threads are to achieve what you apparently don't realize; you are HSPL. It is not automatic for many of us to achieve this; HSPL opens your device in a way that can only be described a dream. You're lucky! Flash the radio separately from the bootloader; it's no different than flashing the ROM. In regards to having to re-enter a code; it appears your device may not be subsidy (carrier) unlocked or there is a security lock put on the device which it will ask before it launches the OS. That may require you running what a few of us in the old days did with our HD2s and Rhodiums...perform a task 29, but you may need a deeper "wipe" something akin to a low-level format on a PC.
"berrywr": I get that HSPL is already on the phone, and I am grateful for that. But I believe, I have loaded both the custom rom + radio that comes with it with no positive results.
I have tried the Dynamics ROM (as an example) and the Radio that comes with tit. First I flased the ROM uising the bootloader method. Then I repeated the same for the Radio. Same results, stuck on HTC logo. I have used the RUU program that it comes with to load the roms. I even have tried using the GOLDCARD for these roms, but same results. And Yes, I get it that I need to install the rom first and then the radio that comes with the package. Interestingly, my Radio on the SPL screen never changes to Radio 17, it always stayed 16 (like in the image posted on the 2nd message, I have never seen it read Radio 17.xxx).
Thanks

It's possible you have the radio glitch where the radio does not change after flashing. Have you tried searching the Titan thread, to see if anybody else has mentioned the problem? I know I swear I've seen this happen to other users...I will do a search tonight to see if I can find anything.
I have looked around and most of the folks are having trouble getting the HSPL to load, my problem has not been stated elsewhere that I could find. I for some reason have the HSPL but I cannot do the following:
1. Cannot use the HSPL program to revert back (uninstall HSPL). When I tried to install OSPL from within the program it errors out.
2. If I install any other radio than 16, it does not take affect - the update goes successfuly, but the SPL screen shows radio 16
3. I cannot install the SPL 2.6 from HTC - it does not take affect. The SPL screen still shows 2.5. Since I cannot have SPL 2.6, I am unable to get some OS updates.
Will keep looking. RUU and goldcard programs - both working properly but result in same outcomes.
