I am running:
SPL-2.40.Olipro
3.35 radio
dcd 3.0.1 rom
I have the verizon xv6800.
I have lost connectivity between PC to phone via USB. Verizon is sending me a replacement.
Is there a way to get it back to stock using a micro SD card (bootloader, radio, rom)?
If not I plan on sending "as is" once I get me replacement--don't really want to do this.
Thanks in advance

Have you simply lost connectivity to Activesync? Have you tried another PC? Do you not hear the 'add new hardware' chime when connecting your device? Can you boot into the OS? Can you not flash your phone via the SDcard method to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM? Have you failed in attempting the Wiki Downgrading instructions -- particularly using the Titan relocker?

Here is the answer:
1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash (use winrar) from the exe or zip and put it on the microsd card, rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
3. Put the MicroSD card in your phone reboot to the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.

I think if he uses the sd card method above he will have problems. my understanding is that the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40. What he really needs to find out is if it is possible to relock without his USB port functioning. then the sd card method will work to flash a stock rom.
on a related question to the one asked by the OP, can a whole ROM be flashed using an SD card, including the radio? I think I read in the past that flashing radio firmware via SD was very difficult and troublesome...
Like maccaberry mentions, will the stock rom "freak out with olipro 2.40?" Is is possible to flash stock rom and relock from micro SD card?
I have tried several USB cables/PCs and it is just not activesync--troubleshooted with Verizon for 2 hours, the problem appears to be hardware related.
After creating this thread I did read up a bit on the wiki, and was going to try using instructions there, but the part about "the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40" has me a bit hesitant to flash stock. If I don't get a solution to update bootloader from micro SD, once I get my replacement and activate it I might try flashing to stock even with olipro 2.40--I am sending it back so if it does get messed up I just have to hope verizon does not come back knocking on my door.

You still haven't stated whether or not you hear a chime and/or see a change in the hardware devices list on your PC when your OS is loaded on your phone if you and you plug it into your PC.

Via the SDcard method, try to flash your device to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM. So that you don't need to be concerned over radio incompatbilities (if you do have the correct 3.35 radio installed for your DCD 3.0.1 ROM) you can try to reflash again with a build from DCD or a ROM with my kitchen. Or you can try one of the older OS/3.16 radio ROMs which also use 2.40. Each of the OS and radio ROMs can be flashed from the SDcard.
I'm sorry, but I wasn't clear in my first post that you do need an active USB connection to change the bootloader and that is why I asked if you could boot into the OS, heard your PC chiming on new hardware connected, or had attempted to reflash your phone to another ROM (or same ROM again) via the SDcard. Also, have you tried a hard reset on your phone?
The issue may be hardware but more than likely it is a software problem on your device or PC.

Yes, any ROM portion should be able to be flashed via that method. On multiple times I have flashed a separate radio ROM without issue.

Keystone thanks for you help...I did do the Device manager check...nothing. Several hard resets were done (memory card in/memory card out). I will try you suggestion about trying a different ROM (or same ROM again) that is made for 2.40. My radio is 3.35.04.
Is it a true statement that the Verizon stock rom/radio will NOT work with 2.40?--I could try this but like I said before I am a little nervous since I know I can't fail over to using USB to PC to help my situation.
You need to flash via the SD card as they say. Put whatever version ROM that goes along with your current radio version. Then once you get it up and running you should be able to connect via activesync and run Titan Relocker to get the 1.30 SPL loaded and 2.40 removed. Then you have a choice to leave it stuck there and return it like I done with one once, or you can flash the stock ROM and radio. There is a chance you can do that from the SD aswell incase your pc fails to pick it up again while in bootloader mode. You'll have to get someone elses input on if that part will work or not.
By the way, the stock ROM isn't your real worry. It's the 2.40 bootloader that will get everyones attention. So you really need to go ahead and properly flash and hope activesync will connect.

You CANNOT flash a stock (verizon signed) rom with 2.40 period. You must relock the phone back to the stock bootloader, and only then can you flash the verizon signed roms.
Key,
You seem to be the expert with SD flashing. Maybe you know a mehtod he can use to get the bootloader on without USB. What I fear is that his USB hardware is fried. In that case, even a flash of a olipro 2.40 compatible rom is still leave him stuck where getting back to stock is concerned. I notice that the bootloader uses a similar software as the roms for loading onto the device. Is is possible to get a bootloader loaded via sd card. I have a feeling it is not possible because the olipro's all use a two step process.. 1st they load a soft (temporary) SPL and then 2nd they load the hard SPL. I have read elsewhere (by ImCoKeMan) that you should not try to run the unlocker via RUU so I assume SD flash version would also not work.
Hens,
If Key cant help us here you might want to pm ImCoKeMan over at ppcgeeks and ask him if the relocker can be loaded via SD card.
Do you have insurance? The device might have an accident with a drop from a 3 storey building that will erase the bootloader altogether..
Finally, you could donate the device to Madman34. He is looking for bricked phones for JTAG experimentation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2019937#post2019937
I was looking into that before I posted my other reply. The one concerning thing about that is when I decompile the titanrelocker.exe file there was a relocker.nb and a 1.30 spl nbh file. I'm pretty sure both are needed, then again I could be way off base. The cool thing would be to get that relocker.exe to run on our mobile device. If that would work it would be easy to set up the SD card to autorun it once WM booted up.

I was handed what looked like a brand new I-MATE JasJam, except I was told that it was crashing a lot and could not make phone calls.
After reading lots of different posts on this site I have determined that the Radio's firmware is corrupt. There is "NO GSM" on bootup and no IMEI being listed.
I have been trying the last few days to flash the radio with a new version of firmware but have yet to get past 0%. I have had success flashing the device with Black 3.5 but the radio is still not flashing.
I have simunlocked and SuperCID the phone with success and I have tred USB Monitoring when I attempted to flash the radio device and have seen "AUX_process-FAIL..".
Before I keep trying with alternative ways of programming the RADIO is there anything I can do to determine that the RADIO is physically installed and electronically responsive. My concern is that perhaps the radio's hardware is broken and no amount of flashing attempts will ever bring it back.
Currently
IPL - 1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro (I can install 2.10 if required..)
CID=SuperCID (Level 0)
Can Boot to OS ? Yes
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
Used to happenb to me. I always flash bu sd card way. Just put the radio image on sd card in nbh format. Rename it to HERMIMG and go into bootloader. It will put the radio on. Alayas fails for me when i use the customruu
your radio bootloader is dead, you're basically screwed.
Thanks, thats all I wanted to know.

Sorry I think you misunderstood. All im saying is that mine used to stop at 0% Every single time using windows to flash. I started using the sd card and it would freeze as well but kept trying and trying and eventually it would start to flash. Usually on sd card method it would freeze around 12% but then eventually go on and update success.. Try the sd card way and it may work. Remember I had the same problem , no gsm , no imei etc

I would flash the htc official wm6 rom, or get any of the extracted radio roms from the wiki. Now i have the official tmobile wm6 rom uk rom somewhere on this site. I just put the radio or whole rom in nbh format onto sd card and rename it to HERMIMG. then go into bootloader and it will do the rest itself. The exe files from the official tmobile rom get extracted to your temp folder and creates the nbh format. Just copy it from there
Remember if it freezes , keep trying. I once had to try 10 times before it did my radio. i would wait 10 mins at a time for gsm. if it doesnt move by then its froze. reset and try again

I think that my radio bootloader is dead, because when I try in mtty rtask a and then rversion I get nothing in USB monitor. Is my radio bootloader dead, and is there now a soluiotn for recovering radio bootloader?
Well based on what others are saying in this thread; yes, you flash the radio or rom via SD Card instead of activesync, and you do so by going into bootloader manually...read the thread.
I tried that, but its the same. It stops on 0%. I saw that others that had this problem had a functional radio bootloader (0107 or 0108). Mine is corrupt!
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.

I thought the DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe image contained the radio. Obviously I was wrong.

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%)

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.

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 there, I have very minimal experience with this stuff so I will provide as much detail as possible...
I had previously successfully programmed my HTC6800 back in March by unlocking with Olipro 2.4, then I flashed the radio with 3.27 and used dcd 2.3.2 for Bell on it. Now my memory is a little foggy as that was several months ago however I made it through the process fine. This encouraged my to try to update again today. I tried following the steps in the wiki as I could not find the guide I had used previously. I already had Olipro 2.4 so I was good at that step. I then tried running the newest radio update and it would not take. It gave me an error. I reset the phone and tried several times but to no avail. I then tried putting on dcd3.2.0 which went fine. THe phone rebooted and I made a test call and everything was fine. I however wanted the new radio update still so I thought I'd take another crack at it... it still would not update. In the wiki it said about relocking the phone and putting it back to the factory ROM and starting again. So I did this, I downloaded the relocking util and followed the instructions to relock the phone. That went fine... Olipro is gone and is shows the 1.06 like it's supposed too... next it said to put the factory ROM back on... well, I am will Bell and the link for the factory ROM is dead! I can't get it anywhere!!!
So currently my 6800 sits as the 3 colour screen with 1.06 relock on it and does nothing else. It has radio 3.27 on it and dcd 3.2.0.
Is there any way to fix this?????
Run this first to exit the bootloader and get into windows mobile. Then check out which rom you are on (I think you were on dcds rom). Then load radio via sd card method listed in the wiki. Then reload dcd if you are not already on the version that you want.
P.S. I have heard things about that ROM that it caused problems. You may want to read up on that here.
Nope
Well, I downloaded the file and tried running it but to no avail. It just comes up saying that the application failed to start because RAPI.DLL is missing.
Also
I tried running that app on a Vista machine as well and it just says that it can't open the USB port. However, windows found the device and installed a driver for it when plugged in AND it shows USB on the bootloader screen when plugged in.
ok..,. let me see...
try installing olipro 2.40 again, it seemes that your phone is locked (olipro 1.06) so it can't run the dcd custom rom... reset and see if you can enter windows...
then if you enter windows normally, downgrade to olipro 1.20 and install the new radio, then, once again upgrade to olipro 2.40 so it can enter windows...
let me know if it worked for you...

Install another carrier's stock ROM (though to keep things easier avoid the Telus one as it doesn not include a radio ROM) and avoid letting it run any customisations after boot/screen calibration.
You are fine.
Here's the problem
OK. Here's the problem. I obviously misread the instructions on setting the unit back to stock as I just read them again and I realize my mistake. I did not load the stock ROM on first. I used the Re-lock program and re-locked my unit before putting the stock ROM back on. So I sitting at the 3 colour screen with SPL 1.06 and I have radio 3.27 on the unit and dcd's latest ROM on it. I can't get it past the 1.06 bootloader. I have tried a hard reset, I have tried the program above to exit the boot loader and it does not work. Is there any way I can get Olipro 2.4 back on or exit this bootloader???
just connect your phone to the computer (it's ok to be on the tri color screen) and install olipro 2.40 from the computer...
you just need to be sure that when you connect the phone in the tri color screen it says USB...
i'm attaching Olipro 2.40
No Dice
Nope. I had tried that already. I just tried again. When I run Olipro 2.40 the command prompt comes up and then come up with a window saying "Cannot Find Device" (or something VERY close to that). It then asks if you'd like to retry, clicking retry just keeps bringing up the same message. If you click "No" on retrying it will eventually move on to the next step and load up the flash program. It will then attempt to flash the unit (Grey screen with the status bar comes up) but it just sits at 0% and eventually comes up with a 242 communication error.
i had a similar problem yesterday when i tried to upgrade the radio form 3.42.02 to 3.42.30 and taht solved my problem...
so you basically cannot exit the bootloader mode?? even when you hard reset your device??
Can the unlocker be flashed from a memory card? Has anybody ever tried?

I have the Bell ROM if you're looking for it.

I didn’t think it was possible to flash back to a stock Bell (non-GPS) rom/radio after flashing to a GPS radio.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to flash the SPL (bootloader) from an SD card?
No2chem over at ppc geeks has a new SPL that loads from the device, but it needs be running.

Yeah I've heard some horror stories when it came to downgrading, including a few bricked devices.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26082
I would be interested to know if anyone on Bell has managed to successfully downgrade a 6800 to stock.
i thought dcd's new 3.2.0 needed a radio of 3.35 or higher to run and does not flash the radio when u flash his rom. Another problem with the phone not coming out of the bootloader is that you have to disable usb connections in active sync or windows mobile device center for the exit bootloader app to work. Try disabling the usb connection in whichever one applies for you and run the app again. If you can get out of the bootloader try to go back to ollipro 2.40 or use one of no2chems bootloaders as they work from the device and an sd card no need for a pc to flash the bootloader. once bootloader is unlocked again run a full radio/rom update like the sprint stock 3.35 easily found on htc's website under the titan (us version of the site). Don't let the carrier custimizations run ... the file that runs after u calibrate screen and set timezone just pull the battery. Then grab whatever rom / radio you want to or were trying to flash 2 before and name it put it on the root of an sd card (thats under 2gb and formatted to fat32) and rename the ruu_sighned.nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh hold power + camera and hit your soft reset button. The tri color screen will come up and should say loading then promt to hit the power button to flash and show u what u r flashing. cdma (radio). os (radio rom) or splash screen, or whatever you r trying to flash hit power button to start once done it will sit with update complete on the screen pull the battery out for about 30 sec and put it back in reboot and enjoy the custom rom or radio.

You can use nueSPL 2.47 to load the locker/relocker but you need to be booted into WM6 to do so. You need to reload another rom that uses the bootloader you have currently loaded and then you can move forward or backward.

I accidentally flashed the titan using olipro 1.2, and the new unlocker, and I cannot get past the verizon boot screen. This is a fresh new 6800. when I start it it says:
p DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.42.30
D 2.17
The bootloader screen says Tita100 spl-120.olipro
the only way I can flash is via the sd card. I cannot connect via activesync.
how do I fix it?
this is a warranty replacement, so I need to get this to work before I restore my old 6800 to factory settings, and return it to verizon
thanks

Can you not put the phone in bootloader mode (power+camera+reset) and connect via USB? Even though activesync doesn't see it, it's still possible for RUU updater to connect. I had a similar problem before. Try doing this and putting Hard_SPL 2.4 on it.
Look at section II on this wiki... it says if you have 1.20 olipro... flash to an older rom and radio... WIKI
Snippit.... " if it is 1.20 then you have the pre-GPS ROM bootloader and must first flash to one of the older ROMs and associated radio to boot into WM, get an ActiveSync connection and then upgrade to 2.40. "

Hes right, you need to load an old pre-GPS rom on your phone, then upgrade. I've had this happen myself.
Yes, this is what I saw too, however, all the roms I found on this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanOtherHome for the olipro 1.20 take me to an internal server error on fileshex.com. I can't find any rom file that I can actually download. Does anyone have a link to one or can you upload it? I suppose it doesn't matter which one it is, since I'm going to upgrade from there.
I just cooked an old 1.6.7 rom for you...wow did it bring back old memories.
Download 1.6.7 rom here: http://www.cinconet.org/titan/dcd 1.6.7 Rom.zip
Download 1.30.60 radio here: http://www.cinconet.org/titan/Titan Radio 1.30.60.zip
Put radio .nbh on the root of the card with a card reader. Force phone into bootloader and flash radio first. When it completes, remove the microsd card and replace the radio .nbh with the rom .nbh with the card reader. Insert the card again, force bootloader, and flash the rom. Remove the card and soft reset.
WOOOOOOOOT!!! it worked! Thanks gc14 for the files and awesome instructions!
Hey guys, this is my first post but have been doing research for a long time(weeks) to gain knowledge.. I followed the instructionson wiki for flashing to
Radio Rom 3.42.50 using micro sd and Rom 3.2.6 . I uploaded the bootloader to nueSPL-2.47.exe no problem. but after the radio Rom was loaded it is stuck on the screen.. Im not sure how to use the titan_exitbl.exe. at this point.. please help, thanks
oh by the way, I am unable to connect to ActiveSync. I will not recognize a device being connected.
Two things to try..... 1 pull the battery out for 10 or so seconds then try to start it again.... if that fails.... load a newly cooked version of 3.2.6
I'll give that a try when I get home from work. Thanks I hope the cooked ROM works. So I pretty much go through the step again of loading it on my micro sd and press power+camera+reset right.
yep.... I've personally found it better to load the ROM after the Radio... It sounds like you already have the radio squared away so it should just be a matter of loading a ROM.
Still having problem loading up ROM. did I use the wrong bootloader? when I get to the tri screen it reads TITA100 SPL-2.47noChem Titan SPL EVT CPLD-9 am I bricked?
Did you remove your micro SD card before you did power-camera-reset to flash your ROM? I assume you are trying to flash your ROM using the USB cable right? You may have a titan.nhb file on it, that the bootloader is trying to flash.

this is where I went... Is there a way I can flash ROM dcd 3.2.6 using micro SD? it seems like thats what I need to do next.
I'm in the same state. I just got my replacement xv6800 from Verizon. My old one was flashed long ago to SPL 2.40 and various DCD roms over the past 8 months.
I didn't remember the whole process I used back then. I used the wiki to flash the new one and got the process out of order. I did the SPL 2.40 first and then the radio, both using USB. Now I am stuck at the VZW logo.
I updated the wiki.
It sounds to me like you are doing ok.
I recently had to replace my phone and basically what I did was load the NueSPL on the SD card and ran it. Once I soft-reset, I confrimed that I had the correct bootloader and it appears you do.
Next I loaded the radio file onto my Microsd card and renamed it to TITAIMG.nbh. I then hit the Power, Camera, Reset to get into the bootloader and it should auto install the radio, which I belive it has for you. Once you reset, the phone will most likely show the VZW spach screen as the new radio is not compatible with the old VZW ROM that is still on the phone.
SO the next step, it to remove the radio file off the MicroSD card and load the ROM file onto the microSD card, again, this needs to be called TITAIMG.nbh. Place the card back into the phone and hit the Power-Camera-Reset button again and the rom should now load. Once it says its complete, reset your phone and you should be in business.

the correct order is
SPL 2.47
Radio ROM
OS ROM
Carrier Cab
Trouble is if you can't replace the TITAIMG.nbh file on your SD Card.
I thought the correct order was:
Radio 3.x Minimum
SPL 2.47
Radio ROM required by Custom OS
Custom OS ROM
Carrier Cab
If you have NueSPL working with a 2.x radio, perhaps the the information on no2chem's site is just referring to the ReLocker?
Anyway, I updated the Common Problems wiki with blancmik's info.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanProblems
Thanks blancmik and necromis.
I had to wait until I got home to pull out my 1GB microSD card and reader. I was able to flash the radio and a ROM.
I did it the following way and it is booted up to WinMobile 6.1.
SPL 2.47
Radio ROM
OS ROM
When I did all this 8 months ago I used USB. I like the microSD upgrading way much better.
Glad to hear that it worked out well for you. The first time I ever flashed was also via USB. After I understood the MicroSD method I've never looked back!

DCD releases his ROM on his site as a self extracting installer. In order to get to the actual ROM, I usually open the .exe with winRAR (winzip) will also work, and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file out, which is the ROM. That's what needs to go on your SD card renamed TITAIMG.nbh.
