Test only Not for resale? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

So I went from DCD 3.0.4 to official 3.35 to leaked 3.49 to DCD 3.1.2 during the past 10 minutes updating radio and rom...now I got this message when I soft-reset...anyway to get rid of that?

Yes, you can use the PPCKitchen to flash a new boot and splash screens, then go back to DCD....

or this will flash back the standard htc splash screen without the 'test only' text
unfortunately this will also hard reset your device so be ready

Excellent!! I'll keep this file handy next time I flash and do this in between hard resets.
Will this just fix the first boot screen or will it also copy over my animated boot screen (the 2nd one). I like the sprint to light speed animated gif and always cook that in with your kitchen

it is just the splash screens. the animation is in OS ROM, and this updater does not touch the OS.

perfect! just what i want.
hey dcd do u have ur own website? i think u should have one with all the useful apps you have and of course all your excellent roms. or at least u should get a sticky in here with a thread linking all ur goodies

HELP I THINK ITS BRICKED!! ill pay!!!

no my phone wont reboot at atll it turns on goes to a screen that says htc smart mobilty test only not for sale and in red below that it says no radio and doesnt go any further!!!!
please help me like seriously its not even my phone i need to straighten it out for him asap!!!!! i will even pay if some one can help me
press the power + camera + reset, load in the rom and radio, no need to pay, we're here to help! What is ur bootloader anyway ? is it unlock, stock rom ???
is that it because its not working is there any other method of hard reset?
i tried the buttons its not getting to the boot loader like at all , its unlocked using the titan unlocker and its just not booting up to any thing just that screen and the rom was 2.17 orignally then i flashed it to dcd's newest rom 2.2.1... then i steped it down to dcd 2.20 then i tried to flash the sprint 3.16 recent rom update and it got stuck at boot loader which was the oli bootloader which i think its called and i had to use exit_hbl and now its stuck. it will reboot but i still get that screen i mentioned before
i got to boot loader its says
TITA100
SPL-1.20.olipro
no wonder, you didn't follow instruction carefully, when you press power + camera and press reset , it should take you to tricolor, at that you can reload your sprint stock rom. Your phone is not brick yet
i just PMed you with my paypal info. Ill make sure your phone makes it out ok
thanks but if anyone its astrqnusx hed get money first i flashed the rom again it worked and then i tried to flash the radio and it just restarts and doesnt load at all??? its stuck at the mobilty screen???
what radio and rom did you use? I assume that you have Titan(Mogul) not touch
and after the radio i tried to reload the rom and it acted as tho it would work and is now stuck at the mobilty and i used now dcds 1.6.8 rom and the 3.27 radio... and now its really stuck maybe i should try the stock rom for sprint?
you are too rush on thing, you can't use rom 1.6.8 with the new radio, reflash back with stock rom from your vendor to get working condition. There is specific instruction if you want to load the radio
After you get back to your vendor (sprint/verizon) follow this instruction to flash new rom, don't miss a step http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667. Again, I see you have the touch, touch and mogul are two different device you can't use DCD or any rom here. You have Titan Phone right?
-my touch is fine thats a custom flashed rom from swiftblade and it works amazing with a radio update ive done alot of different things even reg edits
but the titan is just new to me
Is your phone working yet?
yea i got it thanks!
I'm having the same issue, but I cannot get back to the tri color screen. Any advice? I thought I followed directions pretty well, but apparently not.

I had the same problem flashing my mogal, it's not difficult to fix. take a deep breath, it will take a little bit of work but you can do it. flash back to rom 2.17 relock, then flash sprint official rom 3.35. Then run hard spl 2.40 then flash new rom, take battery out, hard reset should fix your problem. the relocker,unlocker and everything else can be found by searching xda and ppcgeeks.com
I had the same issue, resolved:

Change ROM on my G4

I have installed WM5SE_4 on my Wizard G4 and it works great. I would now like to try TNT, but when I try to install it, I get ERROR 300. I have tried to reinstall the Cingular ROM, but I still get ERROR 300. I installed hard_SPL-G4, before I installed WM5SE_4. What do I have to do to change this ROM to another?
Replace RUU in the TNT rom with 'MUNS_RUU' or copy and paste nk_nbf folder of TNT rom in MUNS_RUU folder and run the RUU of the MUNS_RUU.You can get the MUNS_RUU from the HardSPL thread.

You are welcome !
I changed ROM on my G4 Wizard to a TNT, then added cube and baterry status for speed it up a little. It was running OK.
It blocked some time after and I am not able to load a ROM again. After reading a lot on foruns I tried Wizard lobe, 5buttons the original ROM and, after 100% loading procedure, the Wizard blocks on the very first page with the IPL 2.21.0001 e SPL 2.21.olip and that is all. I always have to start on the bootload screen (3 colors screen).
I read that as long as I can access the 3 colors I am not bricked.
can you help me?
Tks in advance

Yes ! as long as it gets into bootloaders (tri color) its safe,but DON"T ever flash a Button's Rom onto it,as its a G3 rom with G3 IPL/SPL,it'll certainly Brick it, if it still goes to bootloaders,I must say you are a lucky guy,it didn't get bricked as you flashed Button's on it.
You must have overclocked it too high thats why it got stuck.Now as it goes to bootloaders and its HardSPL (IPL 2.21.0001/SPL 2.21.olip) flash wizard_love rom,hope it'll recover back,after that flash any wm6 rom of your choice,but don't overclock it too high.

I guess you are rigth. I overclocked with the allowance to float the frequence and did not set an upper limit.
The problem now is - I can get to the bootloader, start RUU flash procedure ( it goes slowly to 100% as usual) and reboot. After that all I can get is the HTC start screem and the wizardlove (the blue image) or TNT Series image without the radio data. It does not move forward to any other action.
With a soft reset it gaves me the HTC and the same image but with the radio data. Before asking I spent a lot of time searching in forum but I did not got to a similar problem.
Many thanks for your support.
Try a Hard reset and remove,if any sdcard or minisd.As it's HardSPL,you cannot flash an official rom also,coz it contains ipl/spl in it,Official rom is only possible after removal of HardSPL,the only way out is to have a working OS on the phone,try to flash any custom build wm6 rom.
Dear Zabardast_1
I tried to flash TNT, Qtek and a brazilian local operator ROM and no way. It always, after the 100% loading, boots and remains on the first screen.
With Farias ROM the same happens. It freezes with the first logo loading WM.
The hard reset shows formating FAT and fail to format.
Do you have any other idea?
Tks for your support.

[Update 6/16] Titan Bootsplash Cooking Tutorial - WIKI

Updated 6/16/08:
-Created bootsplash kitchen along with instructions.
-Included information about flashing via microsd card.
Little background on Titan boot sequence for those who don't know exactly what this kitchen/tutorial does:
Many confuse the term "ROM" with the OS ROM. The term "ROM" has been used so often in conjunction with the OS ROM, that it's become jargon. When one refers to the "ROM" he/she usually is referring to the OS ROM. The ROM is the read only memory that can only be altered with a firmware flash. In actuality, there are 5 parts that make up the total ROM.
1. SPL - Bootloader
2. Radio - GSM or CDMA radio
3. First Splash - Splash screen that shows Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions.
4. Second Splash - Splash screen after the Protocol, Rom, and Radio versions disappear.
5. OS - The OS, a.k.a. what you flash when you cook a rom with dcd's kitchen etc.
This is how we're able to flash the bootloader, radio, OS etc. separately. You notice this more when you flash with the microsd card. When the bootloader loads and checks the image, it tells you exactly what part of the ROM it is. If you're flashing the OS, it says OS. If you're flashing the radio, it says CDMA (type of radio the Titan uses).
The Titan has either 3 or 4 boot splashes depending on whether or not you use a startup animation. The first 2 are part of the ROM. The 3rd and 4th are the startup animation (if included as part of OS ROM) and the welcomehead splash (Windows Mobile splash, which can easily be changed without flashing anything by copying/pasting your image of choice named welcomehead.96.png to \Windows on your phone).
This kitchen cooks the First and Second Splashes of the ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanBootsplashTutorial
Enjoy!
Awesome - Thanks GC!!
Nice. Will try later on.
"Below is a guide to cook a tiny ROM which will only flash your bootscreens. Flashing it will cause a hard reset, but will leave your current ROM intact."
So people would read!
Hey GC - This is the same error I got the last time I tried to use this tool.... Hae you seen this, and what does it mean??? I clicked on the nb_image_converter.exe and then these 2 boxes popup.....
Helpppppppp.....

Whoa wtf... this program has NOTHING to do with BuildOS. Do you have PPCGeeks BuildOS installed or something?
Yes, but why would it look for that?? This program is a simple executable??
No idea... try to completely uninstall PPCGeeks and see if it still pops up.
Thats the damdest thing..... Uninstalling the ppckitchen and the nb tool runs FINE.....

Haha, well no real reason to have it now anyway right?
You testing this out? If so let me know how the tutorial was and post up your bootsplash!
That goes for everyone, I'd like to get some feedback on how it goes. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you master it, it takes like a minute tops...screw using ppcgeeks kitchen for this.
Also, if you'd like to share your bootsplash, post it up!

Ok - Works great.... I did however make a batch file so that it's just easier to click on it instead of using a DOS box, lots of people may have an issue finding the folder they saved the images in, and it autostarts Duttys.... I can AIM it too you GC....
Here's my screen.....
GC14, was just wondering... You say that there is no way around the hard reset. Well if i remember correctly, quite a wails back, in the 3.27 Leaked ROM era, when i would flash my mogul with the leaked ROM, was the first time i got that annoying "Test purpose only" Boot screen flash.
Well my attempt to change it was to use the official Rom before this, by doing the SD card method, and only wait for it to say Finish flashing bootscreen, and i would reset the device immediately, to prevent any corruption.
This method indeed changed my boot screen splash, and nothing else, and it didn't hard reset anything.
So shouldn't anyone be able to just place the .nbh file into a SD card, and let it just flash the boot screen that way?
I'm only saying.. i actually haven't tried it, since i did it the long way anyway.

I've never tried it. I simply said there's no way around the hard reset if you use the RUU. First and foremost, if people are going to try it, they have to rename RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh. If you want to try it and let me know, go for it.
Thanks gc14 (aka gcincotta ) for the tutorial. Worked great...now to play with some different splash screens!
Just to be clear this will hard reset the phone but will not erase the ROM. This means all contacts, programs, settings, etc... will be left intact?
great tutorial! worked like a champ! Thanks!
Updated 6/16
Great change brother..... I see you liked the batch file idea!!! Yours is pretty close to mine.... but better.... lol Nice job...

Does the microsd flash have the same issue as others where it has to be a smaller card? Sorry for not being more specific. I haven't looked too much into that issue as I don't have a smaller card, I'm a 4gb microsd.

Flashing via the microsd card is the same whether flashing rom, radio, or bootsplashes. Non microsdhc card, formatted to FAT32, with cluster size less than 4k.
Which splash screen is this? The Windows one or the (on DCD Verizon) the white verizon screen?

start sspl and flash this rom!
so I start sspl and then flash this ROM without flash before the hard spl is it right (I've got alredy installed the hard spl) ? And then for flash a splash screen? I flash it like a ROM? Or splash sceen is inside this rom?
Just start it and flash.
I try to flash that ROM but the process always stop at 15 % with a cummunication errror... I remove the battery and the phone start with the display in 3 color mode hardspl.... where I'm wrong?
Is possible that the error is caused by the hardspl installed on my phone that don't allow to the spl of the ROM to install in the phone?

EDIT:it is a beta version of the ROM, it won't flash as such. pls use the following RUU.NBH file which contains the OS only part if u want to test it.
http://giesecke.tk:8090/privat/topaz_rom/index.php?dir=Cooked_ROMs/WM+6.5/Aman/&download=RUU.rar
Are u kidding me? Really stock rom with WM6.5? Have u already tried it???
Cant believe its true!!!!!
OMG
i cant belive it
Can someone post mirror please...Rapidshare maybe
what is the source of this rom?
Is this the official 6.5 release..? Could you comment on the source of this..?
Dont download it semi bricks the Topaz - Shadowline said in xda-devs irc
After trying to flash, it sticks at 99% and then dies after a few min. Which causes the phone to only start back into tri color bootloader with errors and no longer boot WM. Luckily flashing another rom is still possible.
Use caution when testing this rom. It may be just an isolated event or something more serious.
On another note, the next roms that I flash now say "Test rom only Not For sale" lol
im flashing now, lets se what hapends
Seemse genuine enough, but I wont know until im done flashing (5 min!)
Thx for your post shadowline, it was a few seconds before I wanted to start flashing
However, if someone wants to test it, here's the mirror:
http://rapidshare.com/files/249662958/RUU_Topaz_WM65_HTC_WWE_2.01.405.exe
yupp, hangs at 99% for me to.. Well.
Thanks for the update.. I was just about to do my first flash of my 1 week old Topaz! I will wait. Just wonder why the the thread starter is quiet and gave little information at the opening post!?
Plz be carefull with this!!!!!
Downloaded twice the file.
Flashed 4 times, with NO success!!!!
1. Flashed with the original exe, the progressbar stuck at 99%, terminate with "Connection Error"
2. Extracted the .exe in separate folder and flashed again, same, progressbar stuck at 99%
3. Replaced the original RUU with that one what comes with all the cooked ROMs, again stuck at 99%
4. Extracted the secon download,flashed without success!!! Stuck at 99%
At least, flashed again with NTGZ28 Standard ROM and all is OK, no damage done to the device.
Any hope that our ROM Cooks solve that problem, if that is really a HTC WM 6.5 ROM???????
Update: this rom stopped at 99% (useing windows RUU), and when soft-reset it only shows color bars but will still be flashable with TOPAIMG.nbh on SD card *pooh*
So im flashing back EnergyRom now. Thank good for (mostly) failsafe flashing!
Do you or anyone that flashed (i use that term lightly lol) have that text about a test rom when you boot your device?
yes i have, red text on bootscreen. What's that about?
i've faced same problem as all of you. but i successfully managed to flash the OS part only. the red 'test only' text seems to be from the splash screen.
damn, I was sooo going to flash that!
