Another Rainbow screen - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Verizo 6800
After following the rom and radio upgrade steps I relocked the phone using Titan relocker as I was instructed. Now I get the rainbow boot screen showing SPL 1.06. Now the phone won't take any other programming on the USB. The best luck I had was using the Sprint rom but that fails at 11% with an wrong provider error. The Verizon rom fails at 0%. I tried relocking again and unlocking but all attempts fail. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know WHERE you found the instructions that said to relock the phone after upgrading to a custom rom and radio.
Also please provide more information in your post...are you upgrading from verizon stock? Are you trying to flash a custom 3.0.x rom with the new 3.35.04 radio?

More Info
Upgraded from stock 2.09 to Titan 2.10 then Titan radio 3.27. All Went well then the relocker!

"Upgrade to 3.35.651.2:
3. If running pre-3.16 code,
>a. run the relocker
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)"
It won't get out of the tri-color bootloader and won't respond to downloads. The computer can't see the phone on the usb port.

You should ignore the name in "re-locker" You don't have to re-lock anything after flashing. Now your best bet is to run olipro's 2.40. It is the new Titan un-locker, then flash your ROM.

The problem you're having is you're trying to flash a 3.0.x rom on your phone and you have a stock bootloader that will only flash/boot verizon signed roms. I'm not sure who wrote that tutorial, but you don't have to relock anything after you unlock (unless you're trying to flash BACK to stock).
Run 2.40-olipro titan unlocker to unlock your phone again so you can run the sprint/htc update. Then cook a verizon 3.0.x rom, or flash the clean rom already cooked.

Wont work now

I do not think he is not going to be able to run 2.4 in from the bootloader screen because it is not signed by VZW. He is going to need a stock VZW RUU, run it in, then he can go forward again.

Right...i kind of assumed he knew this by me posting that 1.06 would only flash/boot signed verizon roms. I guess I shouldnt have assumed.
You need to get the stock verizon rom AND radio...flash them from the bootloader youre in. Once the stock stuff is on there...let the phone boot up. Now you can unlock with 2.4...and run the sprint update once again...and after that...a custom 3.x.x verizon rom.
Do NOT relock after!

aThanks
Where can I find a stock verizon Rom?

keeps restarting after booting up

Hello all
i need some help. just finished upgrading my mogul and it keeps on rebooting after a few seconds after it reaches the today screen. i have tried dcd 2.2.4 and 2.2.6 with same results.
i believe if i keep it plugged into the computer it will stay on. any help please!??!
thanks
I just had the exact same problem. Did you load any other software after flashing the radio and rom?
Unfortunately i couldnt find a solution that involved DCD's roms. I flashed to 2.4 2.6, 1.6 new radios but nothing worked. I had to use no2chems nuerom 2.0 buld 5044 which works great, but doesnt have the verizon specifics. GPS is good and its fast. If anyone else comes up with something please let us know as i would like to have some of that software back.
this has been posted many times.
most likely you do not have the new bootloader installed.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093
go here get the 2.40 bootloader and start over
thanks for the quick responses!!
first time doing all this, but nothing to hard i think in my opinion. you just have to get over the learning curve.
i used this guide: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
which bootloader should i use if that guide led me to the wrong one?
also where can i find the other rom?
thanks for the bootloader. i will give it a shot now
2. If you are using 3.16+ code then you need either:
>>>a. The reLocker if upgrading to the unofficial carrier released rom
>>>b. the unLocker (new) 2.40 if running custom built roms
you'll learn the terms eventually....
just an FYI
do a search on here and on google FIRST if you run into problems because most likely you'll not be the first to have the issue.
but if you can't find any answers most people here will be willing to help
just verified, i am already using 2.40
also im not new to forums... i am well aware of google and search tools. these forum websites are getting annoying with spam protection that half the time when i tried doing a search, it would not complete it.
i knew i was running a stock 3.16
did you have an old custom bootloader? you need to relock it if so then run the 2.40
if its like mine then when you relock it you will lock up on the bootloader and have to do exit bootloader to get back to the splash screen where it will lock again. I even flashed back to the stock rom and it relaoded. I think it may be an glitch in the s.27 radio personally.
i went from the latest stock to custom using the guide above. is there a need to relock it or do you leave it unlocked?
if you go from stock to custom bootloader and upgrading the radio 3.27 and a DCD rom you don't need to relock it.
you only need to relock for the leaked sprint rom
did you upgrade the radio too?
yes i used titan_radio_3.27.00
when i go into boot mood i get this:
TITA100
SPL-1.20.0lipra
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is this how it should be?
please and thank you everyone for your help!!!
that should say olipro 2.40
who is your carrier? sprint, verizon.......
my carrier is sprint
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093
run the 2.40 spl and start over
okay so you want me to run the hard spl again and then dcd??? or should i do the titan radio 3.27.00 before dcd

Bootloader Update

Hi,
I have a Quest unit that is stuck in bootloader. I can exit bootloader via the titan_exitbl, but the rom is corrupt. It is running SPL-1.06.0000
I can't get an activesync connection, so is there another way to update the bootloader to the Olipro version, so I can load the sprint rom, etc?
I've tried updating the ROM via SD and it states not allow, which I presume means the unit is still locked. But since bootloader is the only working, how do I recover it?
Your phone isn't unlocked yet, so flash the stock rom and radio so you can boot into windows, unlock your phone with 2.40, then run the sprint update

Wiki states instrux for 1.06 but not 1.04 bootloader

My bro has a Titan and is thinking about having me upgrade but I saw that his bootloader version states 1.04 not the 1.06 that mine was when I flashed (and also the one that the wiki says too). Is the process the same? Should I just use unlocker then upgrade to 2.40 then install radio then DCD? A little wary as it is not my phone. Please be specific when answering. I am planning to do the most recent radio and rom.

In order to flash a dcd rom you need 2.40...Go through the same process you would in order to flash a 3.1.x rom.

So it still needs unlocker then 2.40 right? or is unlocker unnecessary now?
Who is his carrier? As forthe bootloader question, I'd be asking Ollipro... I've not seen a bootloader 1.04....

bootloader 1.04 is the "stock" verizon bootloader you should still update to the 2.40 if you plan on having any 3.xx.xx radio's
Just to clarify...
When the phone ships it comes with SPL-1.04 which is the stock bootloader, which is why it doesn't say Olipro.
1.06 is also a "stock" bootloader provided by Olipro which allows you to flash stock roms/radios.

Thanks, I have been flashing since the time you needed the old Olipro to flash the radio and when my brother once before flashed going straight to 2.40 it caused problems. I haven't had a new phone since then and wondered if the unlocker was still necessary. I am gathering that it is not and that you can go straight to 2.40, am I correct?
mogul with slight crack along the frame of screen
i've been reading for a while, and someone wrote that it doesn't matter about the bootloader when returning the phone to the store as long as you have the stock rom. i'm using the newer stock rom (3.35), though i did use the unlocker to put olipro 2.40 on it a while ago to mess with other roms.
the work order for the replacement mogul is already in and it (the new or refurbed mogul) should arrive tomorrow or the next day. should i go through the trouble of putting the stock bootloader on there if i already have the newer stock rom from htc/sprint on my phone?
also, i read that sprint has no warranty (or it's only 30 days). i use total equipment protection for $7 per month (which is how i'm getting a new or refurb mogul because of a case fracture). i'm using the newer stock sprint rom (with gps) and my bootloader says olipro 2.40.
does anyone think that i should be worried if i don't do anything before the new one arrives and just give them the cracked one?
i clearly didn't read the terms and conditions closely enough to find anything that tells me not to modify the bootloader or really ANYTHING about the bootloader...is total equipment protection a warranty that i could possibly void by putting olipro 2.40 on it even with the sprint official 3.35 installed?
I wouldn't worry about it. 1.06 is not the official stock bootloader either, 1.04 is, and I've swapped out my xv6800 a couple times with 1.06 on it and the Verizon stock rom. They don't usually check the bootloader. Just make sure the new Sprint stock rom is on there with radio 3.35.04 and you should be fine.
thanks much for your quick reply. i'll rest easier tonight.

phone is stuck at htc screen and it says no radio

i installed the wrong rom on the wrong hard spl. i had the hard spl a 1.30 installed and dcd 3.2.0. now the screen is stuck at the loading screen that says htc smart mobility. and no radio at the bottom. please help and the phone wont sync.
Good luck on that.. You installed a bootloader for a different model -- likely the TyTn or Trinity. What phone do you have? What instructions did you follow?
If you do have a Titan, then possibly via the SD Card you can change the bootloader to the new 2.47 (I haven't played with it yet but another may provide a solution). You are likely out of luck in flashing to any of the other Titan bootloaders as you must be able to boot into the OS, but with you error of installing an inappropriate bootloader you are out of luck there.
no it was a bootloader 1.30 for the titan
Your information is incoherent.
What rom/bootloader did you have prior to updating?
What rom/bootloader did you try to upgrade to?
You need a minimum SPL of 2.40 to install DCD 3.2.0
I use 2.47 from no2chem and it works great. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30561
Are you able to boot up the device? If so copy the SPL 2.47 to the card then to the PDA and run it from there.
If not, put the PDA into Bootloader mode and try to install Olipro 2.40
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/spl/titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
Failing that you can try to flash back to an official ROM if you have one.
You need to soft reset your phone while holding the Camera and power buttons. This will force your phone in to the bootloader. You should then be able to reflash to lower ROM. Then you need to search for Olipro or whatever the 2.40 bootloader is. Your best bet after that is to flash the official Sprint 3.35 Radio and Rom then flash to DCD's.
**Edited**
Sorry Hamilton didn't realize you gave a link to the 2.40 bootloader.
If he is sure that it is "bootloader 1.30 for the titan" then I know of NO such bootloader. He has likely installed the wrong bootloader (for another device) and therefore no amount of flashing to an OS ROM will help him boot into the OS. Unless via an SD card for 2.47, beastmode216 is stuck with a borked device.
So, beastmode216, I'll ask again, where did you get such instructions and where did you source your bootloader 1.30?
What is one of the earlier bootloaders? I was thinking my Mogul orginally had something like 1.30 or 1.40.
thanks guys but the problem is solved. just make the phone go in to the bootloader
Verizon stock bootloader is 1.30 if I remember correctly. It has been several months since I have seen a stock bootloader

My mistake, as pointed out by gc14 the stock bootloader is 1.04.
Ahh, ok, my fault as I thought that he had also installed a bootloader under the name of 1.30.. That could've been an unlocker for a TyTn or another device.
Correct, OEM bootloader should be 1.30.60.

This is incorrect. The stock bootloader is 1.04. The stock radio is 1.30.60.
SPL 1.30 does NOT exist for the Titan.
Stickies exist for a reason...to read them as they contain valid, useful information. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133

at a lost, SPL-2.06

Check your current bootloader
1. Hard reset your phone by holding down both softkeys, hitting reset, and pressing R (just for good measure)
2.
Hit POWER-CAMERA-RESET to check what version of bootloader you have installed.
* At the tri-colour bootscreen you will see the version number installed.
* if it is 1.04 or 1.06 then your Titan is locked and has the correct bootloader to flash to the stock ROM of your choice --> skip to step III
* if it is 1.20, 2.40, or 2.47 then your phone is unlocked with a third party bootloader and must relock your phone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Sprint HTC Mogul and have been shuffling through all the threads and still confused, sort of...
I am at the Tri-color screen and none of those version number matches mine.
on my tri-color screen it displays:
Tita100
SPL-2.06.0000
CPLD-9
i searched the board and found but it didnt give me a clear answer.

So far i have downloaded
Sprint Cab
dcd_titan_3.2.5.exe
Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.40.exe
[OliPro MFG 2.40] (Hard SPL)
I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out, whether or not i need to downgrade/upgrade.
And Also was wondering what type of neat things i can do with the roms/kitchen im a total noob at this but trying to make sense of all of this.
Other Phone info:
rom Version 3.35.651.2
radio ver. 3.35.04
I'm *PRETTY SURE* that's just an updated version of the relocker SPL.
You should be able to flash back to a stock (non-GPS if I remember right) ROM from there.
I think what *MAY* have happened was the process got interrupted when you were unlocking?
so I *BELIEVE* your best bet is to return to stock, and unlock using SPL 2.40, then flashing on the new ROM/Radio
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry; It's early in the morning and I'm not quite awake enough to comprehend everything yet.

You are right on the money.......
that should be the stock bootloader for a stock gps rom.
if you want a custom rom you will need to unlock using 2.40 or 2.47.
kitchens just allow you to cook in apps that you want instead of installing them later. the problem is the install is permanent and they cannot be removed.
i prefer to flash a clean rom and install my apps later.
im pretty sure 2.06 is the temporary bootloader used by no2chem's nueSPL to ram with 2.47. if your bootloader shows 2.06 you will need to flash nueSPL again as it did not flash correctly. 2.07 is nueSPL Relocker.
i had not heard of anyone getting "stuck" in 2.06 and the op didn't mention he had tried flashing 2.47 or relocking.
i think you are correct though as i just checked and i am @ 2.07 (relocked).

it happened to me, although i didnt get stuck. it was flashed on a card that isnt flashing compatible (telus). i only noticed because it didnt reset itself like it said it should have. returned the card, got a San Disk, and reflashed nueSPL. this time it soft reset itself, and displayed the correct bootloader, 2.47.
I got stuck in 2.06 last night... earlier in the day I dropped my mogul in water and somehow cracked the screen at the same time. After drying everything out for 12 hours the phone came on with barely anything on the screen, I got the phone into bootloader (it was at 2.47) flashed a stock sprint rom, I immediately ran the nueSPL relocker (had to use my mobler to see the screen), after the relocker ran I was stuck in a 2.06 bootloader for some time, eventually I got out of the bootloader (not quite sure how... I flashed the stock sprint rom a few more times and mash some buttons) eventually I was able to run the relocker again and get my phone back to 2.07... a little bit of trouble but it was worth it now that I know I should have absolutely no problems getting a new (probably refurb) phone through TEP

My phone is stock, i hadnt done anything to it yet. Im just unsure what to do because 2.06 was not shown at the step-by-step instructions.
so let me see if i understand what i need what to do....
flash the current rom, stock 2.06, with [OliPro MFG 2.40] (Hard SPL)
then run dcd_titan_3.2.5.exe and Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.40.exe
then Sprint Cab??
Thanks for the replys
