So I'm a total n00b at unlocking phones but I was trying to unlock my alltel 6800 and after running the program and following the steps I'm stuck on the screen that is red/green/blue/white that shows the rom info and says USB at the bottom when plugged into the pc. I tried a hard boot/soft etc. and can't find a solution. Also activesync is not recoginizing it. Thanks much for any help.
i believe you have to flash it with a new rom/radio.
download the the newest radio. connect your phone via usb. your screen should be in the tricolor (2.40spl) at this point. run the radio flash.
Download a new rom. do the same as above.
to get to tricolor screen (hold power + camera + press soft reset)
Yeah i'm thinking I might have to load it from the SD card but I can't find my stinkin adapter so I can format the SD card. Activesync is not recognizing my phone at all.

it IS recognizing the phone being plugged in if it says USB at the bottom, so just flash a new rom/radio and you should be good.
HOLD, Give a little more info please

OK, before it is bricked, tell us the numbers on the rainbow screen, then if it is 1.6 then run the 2.40 olipro, then new ROM, then radio. It is not broken yet, activesync does not like it when the unit is in bootloader mode so it will not show it, but the RUU will work if you just go forward with it and when done it will get you out of bootloader. If you get confused and lost then being an alltel unit you can put the 1.6 bootloader back on, run the stock RUU from utstar.com, bring it back stock and start again.
I got it fixed and installed the sprint firmware but silly me let it run through the setup and now it's trying to use the spring network. Sometimes I wish i could punch myself in the face..
Ok so i got no2chem up and running great but I still can't actually dial out. When i dial it says i'm not allowed to etc after a few rings. Is there some way to change back to the alltel network?
ok now i'm running titan 3.35 but can no longer get active sync which is required to relock the phone. I've tried everything but activesync does not want to work anymore. Any ideas?

First of all, you don't relock your phone...you leave 2.4-olipro on it because it's required to boot your phone with this rom on it.
Second, go into activesync settings and make sure usb is enabled in the connections.
get back to Alltel,,,,

You will need to load up the PRL and then do IOTA.

I'm sorry but i'm not familiar with those terms. I do have USB enabled on activesync though but it never detects it.
From reading other threads I assumed I had to relock it, then reload the alltel rom to get the radio working again. Is there another way?
I got the factory alltel rom back in and working but it's not letting me make calls still. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Well i got my phone working finally but now the data line is not working. It says I need a password now which I haven't needed before.

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.

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?
I have just tried flashing WM6 on to a Friends QTEK 8500, it went wrong Doh!!!.
I had already last Friday put on it the version with non wroking GPRS and this went without issue. I then reflashed my own one with a GRPS working version (went without a problem) and then tried his. I can get it into the boot loader screen but nothing else. I have tried SD card flashing (3 cards) 1x 512MB Card and 2 x 2GB card all formatted as FAT32 with file on the root the phone searches for it but doesnt find it.
Please any advise.

First of all, REMEMBER, your phone is NOT bricked until it goes to BOOTLOADER mode.
Have you made SuperCID before flashing? What firmware are you trying to flash via bootloader mode?

When you say booloader mode what does that look like. At the moment if I reboot the phone I get the HTC Mobility windows by Erofich screen.
When you hold down camera and record button and then power on the device I get brifely the white scrren looking for SD card it then goes to the tri-colour screen and does nothing.
I beleive I have CID it as I did the same on this as I did on mine i.e. ran the unlock according to the sticky.

When you get into bootloader screen by pressing RECORD and CAMERA buttons, then you MUST flash back to the STOCK ROM first. You can't flash any custom WM6 at this point. Only AFTER you have the stock ROM flashed, you can use SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe to app unlock the phone, and copy the SoftSPL into the phone. Then run SPL.lnk.
To summarize: The built-in bootloader CANNOT flash WM6 and can ONLY flash a stock ROM. Once you go back to stock, you can then try to flash WM6 again. Anytime a flash fails, you must go back to stock first, then try again.

Hold CAMERA and RECORD button and press power button. When it goes to Bootloader tricolor mode connect your device to PC and run official Qtek 8500 RUU. Then make a reg (app) unlock:
Download regeditSTG2 which is digitally signed: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:

I have two phones one did work and one did not the one that worked shows version 1.02 on the tri colour screen the one I am having problems with shows 3.06 not sure if this is relevant.
Try removing the battery for about 30-seconds (or just removing the battery cover) and then put it back on. With the phone OFF, hold RECORD and CAMERA and plug in the USB while holding those buttons. It should go to the Bootloader. Run the QTEK RUU immediately after doing that.
If you sit at bootloader very long (more than a minute or so), for some reason it times out and the RUU won't work. It could be that's what's happening.

Tried that a couple of times just to make sure I was doing it correctly it goes into the tri colour screen I pressed the reflash option on the PC 1 second later this then sits there for a minute or so and times out "ERROR [260]" the phone did come on and has a USB in the bottom left corner so I presume the connection to the PC is OK.
I have just re-done mine again using the NEO rom (very nice) to make sure I am not going mad and that I did it correctly and this all went without a hitch.
Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot of a SPL on an SD Card I think if I could do this then I could get it back to 5 and start again.
No, it will only boot off the built-in SPL in ROM.
Did you try using the OEM .nbh file, naming it STARIMG.nbh and putting it on the SD card?

Yes tried that made sure formatted FAT32 etc. I know the SD card is ok because if I take my working phone and run the SPL link with the card in my good phone it finds the file and asks me if i want to reflash it. The non working phone with SPL3.06 does not do this.
You are not alone.
The bad news - the person in the post ended up having to exchange the phone.
It could be there's a bug in 3.06 SPL? Seems to be the case because I've flashed bad ROMs many dozens of times on my Cingular 3125 StarTrek and not once did I have any trouble flashing OEM ROM back on it.
Can I write the flash at a lower level with any tools i.e. pdocwrite or seomthing like that?
I don't believe so. Those programs require an Activesync connection (copies files to the phone). You could try the MTTY method, but I don't know if that works on StarTrek. I think it's some kind of terminal access into the bootloader, but what I've said so far is the extent of my knowledge about it.

I have a similar problem on a 3125 and the phone reports V4.01. I acquired the phone in this condition, so don't know how that came to be. When I try to update via USB, it tells me I need a newer update tool (to match the 4.01, I assume). What error message are you getting when you try to update via USB?
I have been struggling to flash (again) the great pro V2 rom, but I always used my VMWare based XP windows version on my Vista laptop. Today I could use a genuine XP Laptop and I could make a connection and start the upgrade!
Sounds good? That's what I thought too, until the upgrade stopped at 70% (and I didn't touch anything), because of a connection error. I followed the text on my PC screen and I finally it started flashing again for a few seconds and then my startrek suddenly restarted, but it stops at the first splash screen! I tried to get my device back to bootloader mode (push 2 soft buttons and start), but no bootloader mode, only the 1st splash.
I solved the problem.
Thank you for this thread
I tried flashing a new ROM to my i-mate smartflip and thought I had killed it, but going back to the wm5 OEM as suggested on this thread worked and I still have my phone. Now, am I brave enough to try upgrading it to wm6.1 (or even 6.5) again... Once again, many thanks!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
Forgive me if this is discussed somewhere - searched and did not see it.
I have two moguls that I am trying to flash to cricket (with Ryan Moguls ROM).
Currently, they both have the following:
Bootloader: SPL-1.07
Radio: 1.69
I am needing to upgrade the radio to 3.xx first, I have tried to upgrade w/ SD, but gets stuck at the Loading screen.
What am I missing? Do I need to do another step prior to upgrading the radio?
Thanks for any help!
First you need to unlock the bootloader (olipro 2.40). Then you can flash any GPS radio or ROM.
Boot your device up unplugged and then connect it to the computer and make sure active sync is connected before flashing the bootloader. Now run the Olipro 2.40 unlocked Bootloader and follow its instructions until it comes up saying you must unplug and plug the phone back in. PLEASE dont miss that, DO NOT hit a key to continue UNTIL you have UNPLUGGED the phone waited a moment, then plugged it back in. Then you can hit a key and continue but PAUSE again and minimize that window. Now right click the Active sync icon on your PC's taskbar. Pick connection settings and then look for the Box with Allow USB connections. Clear the box (disable) the usb connections. Then click OK. Now open the window back up and click to continue. That will exit the Bootloader and reset the phone. Now right away UNPLUG the phone and Manually place it in Bootloader Manually. Now PLUG the phone back into the PC.

Excellent - thanks Ryan! BTW, amazing ROM, It works great!
I also have another mogul w/ the 1.20 Oli BL. Will this process work for that also?
Thanks!

Edit: Here is what I do with a Stock phone. If its NON GPS Stock I usually connect to active sync and first flash a Newer Stock GPS ROM which includes a GPS radio. Then I find out the SPC code (getspc or bafmsl depending if ROM has net framework or not) as the stock ROM usually changes that. Then I change my SPC code to all zeros. Then I flash the Olipro 2.40. That way it boots up the Stock GPS ROM. Then I flash my Custom ROM followed by flashing a newer GPS radio using SD card method.

Actually I spoke to quick - phone will not boot now after unlocking and loading the radio - Radio installed fully, but now it is stuck at the initial screen. Did I do something wrong?
