I think my Mogul is bricked after trying the ROM update; after about 7% update Vista kicked off the USB connection and I'm left with a tri-color screen. When I try to reinstall the ROM I get an Error 328 message - Invalid Command. Any help? Thanks!
Definitely not bricked if you can get to the tricolor screen.. which rom exactly were you flashing and what have you flashed so far (unlocker, etc)?
Have you tried updating from the microsd card? That solved a similar problem for me.

What steps have you taken so far? That might help others figure out your problem(I would help but I'm leaving my computer right now)
Just tried to re-cradle and reinstall the update - ROM 3.35.651.2 from HTC's website, and I get the message Invalid Command and it stops the update. Can I run this from the MicroSD card as suggested? Any help very much appreciated!
I have no access to anything on the phone BTW - just the screen and nothing else. The screen has four horizontal stripes - Red, Green, Blue and White. In the red stripe it says TITA100 MFG, SPL-2.03.1000, CPLD-9, and at the top of the screen RUUNBH....
Run Olipros 2.40 bootloader. Than, go back and flash the 3.35. I'm pretty sure you need the 2.40 to load the new ROMs. Yes, just run Olipro's 2.40 while you are in the tri-color screen. Also, make sure you have more than 50% battery life left.
Where do I get the bootloader and how do I run it? Sorry to sound dense, but this is new to me. I have the concept of running the bootload mode - Camera, Power, Reset, so I assume some software needs to be loaded on the MicroSD card? Thanks!
You know, it's fine if you're new to this....everyone starts somewhere...and it's good to see new faces in the community...
But what I don't get is why people insist on just flashing right away without reading and researching. Then they make posts about thinking their phone is bricked, not even knowing what a bootloader is.
My advice before you do anything else is to take an hour and read. Read about how to flash, read about bootloaders, read everything you can find about updating your phone. Then, try and fix your bootloader.
Your phone isn't bricked. A brick is just that, a brick. NOTHING works, not the bootloader, not the buttons, nothing.

i second this emotion
Actually, although I'm new to this forum I'm not new to computers. I'm not as familiar with the inner workings of a handheld. I assume a bootloader is the software necessary to run the ROM flash from the SD card; when I run in bootloader mode, I do get a very brief "image not found", so I assume it's looking for the ROM image on the card. And I'm tracking down Olipros stuff right now through the forums, as well as the recommended reading. With a little written direction I think I can "unbrick" this phone. I did successfully flash another Mogul from a different computer, so assumed it would be as smooth; guess not. For those with the expertise, I certainly appreciate the advice and patience to teach a novice...
Once you find the required bootloader program, just run it as if you are flashing a ROM. Once you get "Olipro 2.40" on your tri-color screen, you'll know that your getting somewhere. But yes search and search and read. I also downloaded everything I think I would need also, just in case.
OK - so far 've tried running the Olipro Bootloader 2.40, but I get "device not connected." Perhaps I should mention I'm running Vista Home Premium, so no ActiveSynch; my PC has Mobile Device Center. I hear the little chime when I connect the Mogul, but the Olipro software doesn't recognize a connection....
I have done all of my flashes on my Vista Home Premium laptop. Make sure you uncheck "allow USB connection" on WMDC. Also, after every failed attempt, take the battery out of your phone for 3 seconds and then reinstall.
Did you mean check "allow USB connections"? WMDC is attempting to connect, but always fails. I was assuming because it doesn't recognize the PDA...
no he meant uncheck....READ!!
start here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9927
Thanks; I have an XP machine I'll try; jacking with the WMDC drivers in Vista would take more time than its worth...
Actually Vista should automatically find and install the required drivers for you. It shouldn't take long. It's well worth the time considering what you are getting yourself into.
First, thanks for the assistance all. Status to date: I have connected to my XP machine and still can't connect the Mogul to ActiveSynch. ActiveSynch won't recognize the device in its current state. I've tried running the bootloader program both with the "USB Connection" option in ActiveSynch on and off; when I run the bootloader I get a popup window that says "No device connected", and a query "Would you like to try copying again?" with button options "Yes", "No" or "Cancel." Clicking "Yes" gives me the same popup. Clicking "No" lets the loader proceed, but has no effect on the Mogul except ultimately it brings up a screen showing the percentage complete which remains at 0, and on the PC it brings up the Recovery screens for the ROM update, which have no effect on the Mogul because I assume no connection has been made. I'm obviously misinterpreting some of the steps?
Any way to run the loader from the MicroSD card? I think someone mentioned it before?
Sounds like you still didnt get Olipro 2.40 into your machine, right?
When you boot it (press camera+power+soft reset) which bootloader do you get showing?
If its 1.06 or something like that you need to flash a (manufacturer) stock rom.
If its 1.20 Olipro then you need to flash a customized pre-3.16 rom. (if you need one pm me and I will give you a link to a clean one for your carrier)
Either way you need to get the rom file called xxxx.nbh. Rename it to TITAIMG.nbh. Place that file into the root of a FAT32 formatted sd card. Inster it into your sd card slot and power down and power up the titan. It will automagically read the rom from the card and flash it for you. Same goes for radio nbh files

Hi, Let me honestly admit that I am a newby and have read the threads over the last few weeks so much that I'm really confused now. I read one thing which then asks you to click and read another, but the answers I want are only partly found.
So I hope someone can please take pity on me and answer the following:
I have a TyTN SIM FREE phone which has a Orange sim card. In fact, Virgin & o2 cards have been used on it but Orange seems the best at the mo'.
Does that mean its unlocked?
I am trying to upgrade to WM6 (without even thinking about WM6.1), but "Error 260" comes up each and every time. I have tried 150+ and its still the same.
Please believe me that I have tried every way mentioned on these forums. I've tried on a xp (I have Vista) and its still the same.
My phone screen just goes black when trying to install, then the error comes up.
What exactly is "OPEN PORT" ? I cannot find a thread that actually EXPLAINS that. What do I have to do when it says:"Reset your computer"? Which one, the desktop or the TyTN? If the latter, I have reset so many times. If the desktop, what do I have to reset?
My TyTN tells me that its a HERM 200 IPL- 1.00 and HERM 200-2.03.
If someone can just list in a order what I have to do in order to get this upgrade I would be for ever grateful. HTC do not want to know & London HTC Support Hotline was a washout.
I do hope to hear soon, cos' its started to drive me mad now.
reset both, try unplugging usb cable and plugging into another usb port if prob persists...
1). download and install Hard SPL ver 7. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
This makes it easier or possible to unbrick your phone if something does(will) go wrong. THIS IS A MUST!!!!!!!
2). Once you have Hard SPL on your phone, you can either use the pc to flash OR the sd card method. I personally prefer the sd method as its harder to brick your phone. To do this, download the HERMES rom of your choice. Unzip(rar) the file and generally there are 2 files. RUU_Wrapper.exe & RUU_signed.nbh. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh onto a fat 32 formatted memory card and rename it to "HERMIMG.NBH". Put it back in the hermes and go to bootloader( hold power and OK button(above the flywheel) and then reset with the stylus. hold ALL the buttons down until it goes into tricolour screen. It should automatically detect the flash file and start the upgrade process, follow the prompts... Please remember to either delete or change the name of the .nbh file else it will upgrade next time you go into bootloader.
Hope this helps... Cheers...
Hi. Thank you for your reply and at the mo' I'm trying to get the Hard SPL7 file on my pocket pc. I've never come across something which sounds easy but being very difficult! The file is on my phone, but "will not unzip 'cos .net compact framework is not on my pocket pc" when I am staring at it in the face in my downloads.
What I've decided to do is to do a hard reset and start afresh. I'll let you know how I get on....
download it to your computer, not the phone
pls see the guides here: www.mrvanx.org
Sorry not been able to try anything yet due to illness. Going to try tomorrow & I hope it works. Not tried for a while and already dreading it.
I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for your replies.
Hi everyone. Just letting you know a friend of mine upgraded my pocket pc. He said it was "hard work" but he did it!
The phone works great and is much faster, but now I have another problem. It will not sync with WMDC.
It is possible a new thread will be following soon. I am at present, following other people's advice.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Letting us know what ROM you had flashed with would help. As the different ROMs have different solutions in solving that WMDC problem.
Please fogive me for the noobish question. I've read several threads and followed all the steps in the wiki andam still having problems.
My 6800 locked up so I hit the reset button. The phone quickly flashed "No image file!" and then went to the red-green-blue screen.
As per the wiki, I downloaded the appropriate ROM image and proceeded to follow the directions. Unfortuately, when I attach the phone to the USB port, Windows reports it as an "unknown device". I ran titan_excitbl.exe and I get an error that is can not open the USB port.
My finace has the same phone and her phone is recognized by my computer just fine.
So I decided to try the micro SD method. My laptop does not have a micro SD reader so I used her phone (attached to my laptop) to copy/rename the .nbh file to the mico SD card. (I am hoping that the factory format of the card is already FAT32). I put the card in my phone, hit POWER-CAMERA-RESET and still the same... "No image found!" and then the tr-bar screen.
The screen reads (in the red bar):
TITA100
SPL-1.04.0000
and reads (in the white bar):
Serial (will change to USB when I plug the USB cable in)
Also, then connected to power, the power/chargin light does not come on and pressing/holding the power button does nothing.
HELP! PLEASE!
Thanks!
Joe
Don't assume it has the right format. Make sure it is not a high density card as well and less than or equal to 2gig and format it per the wiki and then put the NBH file back on there. I would check to see if that phone will work with any USB on other computers. It might be a hardware problem.
the device won't recognise on any of my three pc's. as for the card, it's the factory 512mb that came with the phone. still trying to get my hands on a micro sd reader.
htc seems to think it's a hw problem but i'm hoping someone here is familiar with the issue and has some additional insight.

Again, forgive my ignorance as I am an IT guy, but when it comes to phones, I'm a total newb. I extracted the .nbh file from 3.56.651.0 - (Radio 3.42.02) that was found linked on the wiki for flashing to the factory Sprint ROM.
Given the info I listed in my orginal post, if this was the wrong file to use, PLEASE let me know.
I picked up a micro SD adapter tonight found out that the factory installed card is formatted as FAT. So I reformatted it as FAT32, copied/renamed the image file once again and WHALAH! It loaded the image and re-flashed the ROM.
Now the new problem...
It still only boots to the tri-bar screen but now is says:
TITA100
SPL-2.07.000
CPLD-9
Ok, so obviously something new took as the information is now different. But what am I missing?
Thanks!... again!
Joe
*** UPDATE ***
Ok, I flashed it once more and this time it boots and appears to be working! It took FORVER to get past the Windows Moble 6.1 splash screen but so far so good.
Thank you!!
sounds like your bootloader is whacked, but with the USB not working it might be hard to get a good one on there. I would recommend nueSPL-2.47 but I am not sure if there is a NBH file to do it from the SD card or not. You might want to search around and update the bootloader. Also make sure that you take the SD card out once it has updated the phone and it resets. I think it is take it back and get another phone time.
I added an update to my post above... I got it working. For whatever reason (I'm sure there is one, I just don't know what it is, lol) I had to run the flash twice. After the second time, it booted right up
Now being an IT geek, all this "cooking" stuff has perked my curiosity. I'm going to try to flash this thing with one of the custom ROMs that seem to be pretty popular

ITS A HTC HD2 NOT THE ORIGINAL
Ok I am a really big noob and need some help. I Flashed My rom using Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar, I extracted in and it completed 100% and loaded up perfectly to home screen. I didnt have my sim card in or Sd card so I took battery out and put my sim card and sd card back in. When I turned it back on it was stuck on the HTC screen. Just the Green HTC writing and white screen and thats it. I have read some forums that have had the same problem but i just dont get it. they say get into bootloader ( which i can do) and then flash with radio or something... I am uncertain how to do this. When I downloaded one of them Customruu or whatever it is and open it it says I have to connect through active sync which i cant do because I cant get my device to turn On... I really need some help but it needs to be explain to me like explaining to a handicap person.
thanks
Put into bootloader, not necessary to connect to Activesync as you can't in bootloader mode. Flash the radio the same way as you flashed the rom. put the radio.nbh file in a folder, rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh and copy a CustomRUU.exe in and flash.
You'll find radios and steps here.

hi had same thing myself just rename ruu_sined.nbh to leoing.nbh
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
where do I get the Customruu.exe from? What do you mean flash the radio same as the rom? how can i do that if i cant get connect to active sync? So does that mean I have to download Miri_HD2_WM65_21893_Sense25_V6.0.rar again? which radio file do I choose? I am so confused. Dont get annoyed its just i dont understand all this...
do NOT do it via SD card - flash the radio using activesync as mentioned in first reply. SD card is dodgy as hell and the quickest way to brick your phone for good
You can get CustomRRU from any ROM file - use the one from Miri's ROM
might've been worth reading the n00b flashing thread first as well as well as the first thread of Miri's ROM as all the info is on there...
how come you can't use activesync? what version of Windows you using?
in future i suggest you read the relevent threads and make sure you can flash a stock ROM before jumping into cooked ROMs...don't wanna brick an expensive phone do you?!?!

It just sounds like you've got the wrong radio on your device...
Turn off your phone, and turn it back on holding down just the down button. It will go into the bootloader screen (red green and blue one). You can then connect it to your PC and it should say 'USB' at the bottom instead of serial.
You can then run CustomRRU (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575524) with the radio file from this link:
http://megaupload.com/?d=HT7ZMDGH
and it should allow you to flash the radio and work...(put both the CustomRRU app and radio file in the same folder)

I am using a HTC LEO (HD2) with EnergyROM installed in it. Now I was tryin to flash updated version (11th march update), But I am having trouble with Activesync which somehows is from last few weeks. It connects & syncs the device too once USB is plugged in, But disconnects when I try to flash a rom using customRUU..It gets disconnected on the bootloader screen & activesync status turns to Disconnected from Connected..I pull out my battery & restart the device again. This is highly irritating & I wish if there's some other program instead of Activesync that could be used to flash a rom.
I tried doing it with bootloader screen, Turning the device off, then turning it on while pressing down the volume button, It sure goes into bootloader screen, but shows Serial at the bottom & not USB..So any ideas for what could be the alternative for people who face the same problem with activesync, Instead of wasting time to rectify this error, Its better to find some other alternative. My PC is running Windows XP 32 bit, I re-installed my windows when i had trouble almost a month back & activesync worked fine then, But just can't afford to do it every other week or so

It's not possible to connect to Activesync while being in the bootloader mode (The hd2 says "USB" on Windows without activesync too), so it has nothing to do with Active sync. Try another USB-Cable or use the sdcard to flash (see amma2005's Post, but as far as I know, there is no need to format the card again).

Hi. Can you help with this? or anyone?
leo70 said:
Hi. New here. Done this magldr 1.12 and leo70 rom but my phone playing up badly after a lot of droid and 6 and other flashes. I can't install hardly any rom any more without it - ie: stock, wm6, android, wp7 rebooting constantly for no reason etc.
Done mtty and have bad blocks - about 16 and 16 reversed. done task 28 and task 28 55aa, and task 29 as read in other threads. tried everything with different radios, different nand droid. multiple wp7-hd2 installs. but still reboots.
Any thoughts? If go back to stock+spl1.66 and send back under warranty anyone know/think if they will fix it and/or replace it? they still have old sealed replacement hd2 stock or boards much? do they do diagnostics and look at bad blocks properly on warranty return? Even on stock-rom and stock-spl still does this reboot although not as much. Worried that stock-rom wm6 will "work" too well and they won't check blocks. What about task2a? etc? Any way to install wp7/magldr and partition right so no bad blocks counted in?
Thanks very much.
Will pay for fix that works - $.

I am stuck on DFT boot screen after hspl, htc, magldr- for windows phone 7 on hd2. Sometimes get thru to windows phone 7. but generally reboots. Done spl back to stock and leoimg on sd back to stock and tried task28s, 29s, etc but just reboots constantly and randomly.
Any thoughts here? What is warranty process? DO they replace at all with NEW? or new BOARDS/RAM? Gone back to 1.66 spl and sent in for repairs. because - the stupid recommended Romupdateutility HTC stock rom 'upgrade' did this damage.
and yes, was Windows Phone 7 and activated with marketplace & xbox/live.

Did you check the battery pins ? Sometimes they do get bent out of alignment and simply pushing them back into place gently does the trick.
I got a friends hd2 several days ago and it was stuck on the White splash screen and wouldn't go further.
I tried Hard reset with keys and it didn't helped to get past that screen.
So i decided to flash a new ROM.
First I installed 1.42.HSPL on it to make myself safe and tried to install WWE version but failed at 9 %.
After this i tried near all the steps from another thread on the forum, the one of italian guy who tried almost everything.
Strange thing is that after trying several roms and failing all the times at 9 %, the phone once booted into windows, and i got this information from it:
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
G 15.28.50.07U
Rom 1.48.406.1 (71294) FRE
But after powering it off it didn't boot up another time.
Also there was a small damage on one of the battery pins but I think i managed to get it soldered from outside with soldering iron.
I also tried with MTTY and it didn't work either.
I got the official rom 1.48.406.1 FRE (because this phone is from swiss operator in french language) but it doesn't flash it goes to 9 % and gives error 290.
Ok, i started the thread because I actually wante to ask the question, why i'm unable to get into the Flash process from SD Card.
I formatted SD and copied the LEOIMG.nbh from official ROM and other ROM's too but when i press Reset and hold volume Down key sometimes nothing happens screen is black, sometimes im going into Bootloader with Serial shown and this text:
"Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again" and in the top right corner its written RUUNBH.
Anyone has any idea what could be problem of this device?
Btw I own LEO too and i never faced any problem till now, it was originally in German Language and i flashed it to WWE and didn't get any problems like this one.

Not sure if this is the problem, but what size is your SD card? I've heard, that sometimes is impossible to flash from larger cards, safest way is to use cards up to 2GB...

Actually the sd is original 2gb that comes with hd2.
Friend, try to flash hspl 2.08 !!
Most likely that is the problem.
Enter the bootloader and connect it via usb to your usb and install 2.08 hspl (search fo it on xda developer forum)
Before instaling it read the instruction so that you know that hspl 2.08 can be installed over the old version of hspl that you installed!!
Oh and update radio to atleast 2.07
2.14 is very good
PS
Did you perform task29 before flashing?

I guess I should try to install 2.08 HSPL, do you think i can use the same HSPL installer and just install 2.08 hspl from it? Because i already tried 1.66.HSPL but didn't worked.
And yes i performed task29 two or three times it finishes with some known output message which is stated on the original MTTY thread to be ignored.
Any other ideas?

you have to flash the HSPL back to 1.42 0000 ,then update the HSPL to 2.08 HSPL directly. if you flash it from 1.66. it can not work..pls be noted. good luck to you .hope you leo can be used again.

Ok I installed 2.08.HSPL from 1.42.HSPL and it went successfully, now i see 2.08.HSPL on bootloader but it still fails to update ROM. Stops at 8 % on the phone with rectangle mark, and on the pc it stops at 9 %.
I get Error 290 - Unknown Command
But why i cant go into sd card flash screen when i press reset and volume down ?
I just used another 2 gb microSD and added LEOIMG.nbh from official FRE ROM and it doesnt work.
Hey bud,
I was having the same problem: the flashing didn't want to start by doing a reset+vol.down. I somehow got around this by putting the leoimg.nbh on my mircoSD card, and then started the flashing from my computer by running the .exe that contains the RUU (for ActiveSync flashing). This "magically" triggered the flashing from the mircoSD card (it showed me a screen whether i wanted to update leoimg.nbh). On this screen, pressing vol.down would start the flashing through ActiveSync, and pressing the power button would start the flashing from leoimg.nbh from your microSD card. In the last case, the update on your computer will stall at 0%, this is just because you're not running the update from your computer, but from your phone. On your computer it will time-out, but the update on your phone will continue!
I hope this works! But you're doing this on your own responsibility ;p

Hmmm this kinda messed me up.
What EXE file you run on the pc so it triggered update from SD ?
Because it's upossible to connect with activesync and browse to sd without the phone being fully operational (winmo running).
So i would say maby you just got it somehow with key kombination, because it would be impossible to run it the way you say. Or maby i'm wrong.
Could you be more specific about how you exactly run that process?
Thanks for your kind help. Gjizaqin
Well, whatever ROM you want to flash,
when you download this ROM, the .nbh file is packed in a .exe file.
You transfer the .nbh file to your microSD (rename to leoimg.nbh), and you can run the .exe file to flash through ActiveSync.

For me it was possible: reset your phone with the volume button down, to get to the tri-color screen. It shows "serial" on it. When you then connect your phone using your USB cable, it should switch to "USB", after which you can run the ActiveSync flashing.

Whell, by doing this procedure your doing normal ROM Update, and it's not doing update from sd card.
Anyways i tried this way too but not successful, its stuck on 8 % and stay's that way for about 3 minutes, than it gives me error 362 on the loader.
Anyways thanks for your help mate.
Anyone with experience can give me advice what to do with this phone?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, tried all sorts with no luck. Can't get SD card install to work either.
Oh this sounds fun, I can no longer run active syn with my leo, the computer reports that my "usb device is not functioning properly"
I have re downloaded sync, try as I might I cant it back up and running, I wish everyone else the best of luck
This might be just a little bit off topic, but does anybody know how it is possible that some SD cards are good for flashing ROM's and other (mostly the larger) aren't?
Do you also need to copy the folder "program files" from the SD card you've flashed the ROM with to the other SD card, when you'd like to use this for your device?

There has been reported problems with some 16GBmSD cards when it comes to flashing from them.
The only thing you need on the mSD card is the LEOIMG.nbh file.

If you boot up your phone to Bootloader mode (but not connected to the computer), the bottom of the screen reads 'Serial'. If you now plug it into the computer, does it change to 'USB'?
Your computer error message is just saying that the computer cannot install a driver to communicate properly with your phone. Since your phone isn't fully loaded into WinMo then your computer isn't going to recognise it as a WinMo device. So don't worry about that message.

I guess this problem happen to some of the flash addicts! Problem still unsolved...
Good evening all!
It seems that I may have made a mistake! Either that or my mind is to tired to think strait! Please help!
Firstly, after having several successful attempts at flashing custom roms/radios and experimenting with my device, I thought I had finally found the ROM of choice! Here's what I have done: performed a task29 run to clean up any straggling files ... normal process right!? No! I forgot the most important step to the process before totally wiping all information off my phone. I formatted my SD card without adding any type of rom to my device before running task29. I've tried running the customRUU tool from my PC and have had zero luck. My phone attempts to boot with none of the red text in the loading screen and just hangs. I can enter the bootloader screen but I still have zero luck on getting anything to work from the customruu tool.
Any information that anyone could willing provide would be greatly apprecaited!! I apologies for wasting anyones time!
Thanks in advance,

Dude, you should be able to hold down the volume down button before powering on the device. You should get to the bootloader screen with no issues and be able to establish an ActiveSync <--> USB connection from there with your PC and flash using the CustomRUU.exe tool.

Next time use FlashaholicRUU as it will perform task29+flash the ROM.. (won't let you proceed if you don't include an .nbh)

That's what I thought as well ... I have my device connected via USB, looking at the bootloader screen as we speak and it's still not showing my anything under ActiveSync. I've tried installing a different Radio as well, still no change.
Here's exactly what I'm looking at on the bootloader screen:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0X05
CotullaHSPL 0X50
USB
That's it! I can attempt to boot normal as if I were just powering on the device and I get the white "stick together" t-mobile splash screen.

I tried using FlashaholicRUU just now. I was able to perform the task29 process successfully, I held the volume down button at 100% and let the phone enter into the bootloader screen. I then continue with the on screen prompts from PC to start the ROM update process ... only for the update utility to tell me;
ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN The Update Utility can not open the requested file. Please check your update Utility.

Update:
I was finally able to get it flashed and operational. I found a ROM that had a customRUU packaged with the download and a good radio. I used the Utility in the package and all is working now. Not to pleased with the ROM but it's only temporary. Thanks a bunch for everyone's help and input.
Excuse me while I wipe the sweat from my forehead!
