Here is a breakdown of what i did and whats happening.
1.2 ollipro installed already
loaded new radio
loaded new rom
Now the windows mobile 6.1 screen would come up and ask to tap screen but would reboot at this screen continously. I assumed this was happening because 1.2 ollipro was installed and not 2.4.
I then decided to reinstall my old radio and old rom and now the phone gets to the htc bootscreen and reboots immediately over and over again without getting far at all. What do I do?
For TELUS P4000
BOOTLOAD MODE
1. Try getting to the BOOTLOAD MODE by pressing POWER, CAMERA and RESET all a the same time
2. You should see at screen with red green blue white
New RADIO and CE ROM
1. Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe/titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe (follow the instructions)
2. Run titan_radio_3.35.04.exe (very simple GUI instructions)
3. The titan will reboot by it's self, put it back in BOOTLOAD MODE
4. Extract dcd_titan_kitchen_3.0.0.rar to a directory and run BuildNB.bat (it takes a couple of min)
5. Select the stuff you want and don't forget you carrier (TELUS....)
6. Press the PLAY button (when finished, which is hard to see, when play is green) close the BuildOS
7. In a DOS windows it will build the CE ROM (follow the instructions)
8. Titan will reboot
i cant get 2.4 on there because i can get activesync up and when i get it to run through the boot load it gets to 100% in a split sec but leaves 1.2 on and not 2.4 even though it didnt record any errors
I'm having the exact same problem. Got the new Rom and radio installed. I had to go back to 1.2 to do it. But now i cant get 2.4 to install. I run the program it seems to install but still says 1.2 and is stuck on bootloader screen. even though it said itupdated to 2.4 anyone got any ideas on how to get 2.4 on there?
Try entering the Bootloader mode of Oliprio 1.20 and connect the USB to your computer.
Although it wont start an Active Sync session it will still allow you to load thing on such as a ROM or flashing program.
Well once you are in Bootloader and have a USB connection then try installing Oliprio 2.40
This might work.
Hi, ive done that and gone through the 2.4 install. after the RUU runs the progress bar goes across in like 1 second. it reports it successful but it still says 1.2 and is now stuck in the 1.2 bootloader. as if 2.4 never installed. any suggestions?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agreed, but what is done is done
Second, you tried flashing a 3.x.x ROM BEFORE updating your radio to 3.35.04. It says in numerous threads as well as on the first page of the thread that NO radio is included.
I thought the DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe image contained the radio. Obviously I was wrong.
What appears to have happened, is you have a 3.x.x rom installed with no radio, and the 1.2 bootloader which can't even boot 3.x.x roms.
My question to you is, have you ever unlocked this phone before or before all of this were you running stock?
I was running stock.
If you still have the stock bootloader installed and not 2.4, then you need to find the STOCK alltel radio AND rom.
I'm pretty sure I don't have the stock bootloader. It says SPL-1.20.Olipro
You then must flash the stock alltel radio, followed by the stock rom. All you need to do is plug the phone in with usb, manually enter the bootloader and run the RUU's for each.
I've tried the latest stock ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe but it re-boots the phone while downloading (@ 12%)

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

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

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

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.

Hello everyone i Just got a xv6800 and am trying to flash to a newer rom...However i cant seem to boot into the bootloader it just hangs at Loading.... There is nothing installed its factory rom and settings
Thx in advance
How are you attempting to load into bootloader?
The way I saw on the forums....holding power and camera button and hittig the reset..i get the tri color screen then it goes to Loading... and just sits there dosnt do anything else
Do you have a microsd card in while trying this? If so, does it contain any .nbh files on it in the root directory? If so, do you have a TITAIMG.nbh file in the root directory?
The only way the bootloader would try loading something the way you're describing is if this is the case.
I agree with gcincotta.
If you are in fact trying to flash from the SD card though, most people have reported that it won't work using an SDHC card. It needs to be a standard (non high-capacity) card.
I did have a card in it..now i took the card out and it goes to tri color in the red i get tita100 and i the white i get serial...thats all it does now
Well i got it to go to usb but now the .exe file for the 2.40 unlocker wont run on x64 systems so i guess im out of luck huh
Did you already run the unlocker? If so, you should be ready to flash a custom ROM. It is normal to be stuck in the bootloader after an unlock. Just flash away.
If the unlock did not go successfully, you will have to try again, making sure to follow directions precisely (on a 32bit system preferably, less headaches). To unlock you must be booted up into Windows Mobile. You can try the exit bootloader program from the PPCGeeks Titan Upgrade forum, or try flashing a stock ROM to get back into WM.
Edit: You can tell if the unlock was successful by looking at the SPL in the bootloader (right under TITA100 MFG). It should now say SPL-2.40.Olipro. If it does not, try the steps above to get back into Windows Mobile.
I did have a card in it..now i took the card out and it goes to tri color in the red i get tita100 and i the white i get serial...thats all it does now

You need to be more specific. Everyone's titan says TITA100. What SPL is installed? Post the entire contents of your screen and then we can get somewhere.
I have a new 6800 from Verizon.
software 2.09.605.8
firmware radio 1.30.60
pri ver 1.35.002
pri check 11ab822d
SPL-1.04.000
Do I need to unlock it first ?
Which unlocker do I use ? is it TitanUnlocker.exe
Then the way I read it I need to first flash the Sprint ROM 3.35.651.2
Then what ever rom I want after that.
I was able to udate to 2.52 rom...the 3.04 wasnt working correctly and it would not up date using *228..and there was no sound...i was not using the radio 3.35 because i heard people saying that it was a bad one to use...is there much difference in performace between 2.52 and the 3.04?
So I need to install Sprints 3.35.651.2 rom and not let the sprint customazations run.
Then use the unlocker 2.4
Then use DCD or No2Chem custom rom.

You are starting from scratch with an unlocked phone. Before rushing forwards you have some reading to do:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
All of your answers are there.
Yes I have read many threads and think that is why I am so confussed. I upgraded from a 6700 which I had flashed to WM6 many times before.
I will follow your linked procedure.
Two questions.
Is my phone being stock and never flashed before locked or unlocked, and do i need to run Olipro 2.40 by executing Hard-SPL-MFG.exe or start with the Sprint Radio (3.35.04)
Also the tutorial says Upon its completion, press the power, camera and reset buttons to force the phone into the bootloader/SPL mode.
What will I see to let me know it is finished loading.
Thanks for your reply.

1st- update to 2.4 olipro
2nd- update sprint 3.35 rom (stop at the "tap the screen" customization screen) this gives you the radio
3rd- from customization screen start the 3.0.4 rom and flash that rom
Your phone will restart after loading and will boot into wm6.1
4th- Read untill you understand before flashing roms
After 2.4 olipro do I hit reset to let it boot up again or start the sprint rom while its still in bootloader mode

Does not matter, if you do it in rom it will force into bootloader anyway.
Ok up and running dcd 3.04
date 2-22-08
radio 3.35.04
I did not let sprint cutomazation run.
Tried to make a call and get message saying verizon can not authenticate and to dial #8899
Should I do that now?
Had to call VZW to get new A-Key
No GPS detected in google maps is there anything I need to do to set it up ?
Try installing VisualGPSce -- it's a good little & free diagnostics program too see GPS satellite reception.
....after seeing that running on COM4 at 4800 baud, then you should see a list of visible satellites. Now, whether or not you get a sufficient lock within the first half hour depend's upon your luck in the draw for a GPS functioning Titan -- GPS hardware-wise, not all are equal.
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.

I haven't tried to do it yet, but I did develop a theoretical how to before I first flashed my phone as I wanted to make sure I had a way out. You can find it here:

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.

thanks
uhh 2.07 is a relocker SPL
I think you have to downgrade to a stock firmware/SPL, then do the process properly.
Use SPL 2.40 or 2.47 before trying to flash on a GPS rom.

I would say the same. I would go ahead and unlock OliPro 2.4 (never tried 2.47) then flash Telus rom. After doing so you should be fine.

Sorry, I read his post wrong. HEre is what I would do:
1. Download OliPro 2.40 and run it. Ignore the part that asks you to verify the Active Synch connection. Its not needed for anything but a connection confirmation.
2. After running OliPro 2.40 you should be stuck at the three color bootloader screen, Like you are now. If not hold Camera and Power and use stylus to put phone in bootloader. Make Sure it says OLIPRO 2.40 for the version on the bootloader. If not then re-run oliupro and make sure to follow the directions. Especially noting that it asks you to disconnect then reconnect the device.
3. Flash your Stock ROM back.
4. Hard Reset.
In my experience you do not have to go back to a stock ROM to flash a new carrier ROM as long as you have OliPro.
Let me ask you this: What exact steps did you take when you flashed Telus ROM image?
I was on the same setup you were, DCD 3.2.5 with Radio .50 and OliPro 2.40. I simply flashed the Telus image and all was well for me. Hell it was better than all well. This is the best ROM I have ever used. PERIOD. No, its not pretty but damn, its fast as anything I have used and the GPS is insane!
BTW: Im a Verizon user. Anyone know how to make the phone not say "Telus" when I go to the connection manager?

Thats interesting. I have hosed so many XV6800's and used OliPro and a stock GPS sprint ROM to get them back (Thanks alot for nothing Verizon!).
IM assuming you are still on the tricolor screen? Take out battery and place back in. Then try again. Dont wait long. Someonelse has discoverd the phone can only be connected for so long before it "drops" connection with the windows machine. Someone else's therory but I can certainly second it.
What SPL were you using with DCD 3.x before upgrading?

before flashing to new telus wm6.1 rom, i had olipro 2.40 with .30 radio and dcd3.2.5 kitchen...i have tried upgrading to radio .50 with no success. but failing to update radio didn't affect anything to my phone. tried your suggestion by romoving battery and still telling me that device not connected.

Hmmm, maybe try a different USB port at this time. Also, try this...
Before you connect your device open device manager in Windows. Look for M/S USB sync to appear after you connect. What OS are you using? This is what it will look like in Vista.
In XP I beleive it will show up under USB at the very bottom of Device Manager.
Does the phone show up at all?
Flash a stock pre-gps rom first.....then go ahead and upgrade the hard spl to 2.4 or 2.47.....then flash away with whatever you want....
You cannot flash Hardspl to Hardspl...they have overwrite protection not signed by HTC....
