Hey all,
Been trying just about everything to help a buddy out, but I've been failing repeatedly.
He got a brand new phone yesterday and found the XDA Titan Wiki to install the GPS enabled ROMs. He loaded SPL 2.4, then installed DCD 3.2.0. It got stuck at the Verizon screen when it restarted...then he apparently downloaded the Radio 3.42.30 to try and install that to get out of it (maybe thinking the Radio needed to be installed for it to get through). Now he's stuck at the White Verizon screen, and it says "No Radio".
Sounds like from when I read the Wiki he was supposed to install an intermediary Rom before jumping all the way to 3.2.0.
I've suggested using the Olipro SPL 1.2 unlocker, the Titan Relocker, several different ROM's and am at a loss as to how to fix it. He's still stuck at the Verizon screen displaying "No Radio."
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I went from stock to 3.2.0 / Radio 3.42.02.. no problems.
I have not loaded 2.42.30 (I prefer to use the radio version released by HTC for this device.. 3.42.30 was released for another device and ported.. although it seems to work for everyone.)
I HAVE read that for radio 3.42.30 you need SPL 1.20 for USB Flashing.

Yeah 1.20 is needed to flash these radios via USB. Just need to put 2.40 back when you're done.

Based on that.. I assume SD flashing is ok with 2.40.

Yes! This is well documented.. a common issue.
If you flash the Rom without a compatible radio.. you will get stuck on the verizon screen... I suggest flashing the ROM AFTER the radio.. since you flashed the Rom already... when you get the radio working, Reflash the ROM.
Did you flash the radio via SD Card or USB?
Did it show a progress bar while flashing?
Let us know how your attempting to flash the Radio (USB or SD) With specific steps (held buttons X, Y, and Z.. saw this message, pressed this key.. saw this on the screen) .. and someone will let you know what you might be doing wrong.
Also.. dont forget to run the carrier cab when your done.. This is worth mentioning since it's the most common issue once the device boots and you cant program the phone, or make data / voice connections.

Can you get to the bootloader by holding down camera power and pushing the reset button? If so, you can flash the radio with the SD method found in the wiki. just put the radio on the sd card in the proper format and enter bootloader and it should correct your problem.
Can I suggest something to try? (assuming you have 6800)
1. Get the sprint release. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402887
2. in bootloader, load the sprint release by usb method. when it gets to having you touch the screen, soft reset.
3. In bootloader, load the dcd 3.2.0 rom (or any other rom).
4. Hard reset.
This should give you 3.2.0 rom and 3.42.02 radio.
Responses
Hey guys,
Thanks for the responses and suggestions.
1) At the moment he doesn't have an SD card aside from the SDHC, so he couldn't do that until he purchases one. Good idea though if nothing else works
2) When pressing the camera/power/reset he's in the SPL 2.4 bootloader screen, he's going to try your suggestion of downloading Sprints and upgrading.
3) I'll ask him procedurally what else he has tried, what error he gets for recording. No doubt you were correct about uploading the Radio before the ROM
I've actually flashed my phone exactly the same way he has so that I can try to experience the same problems, and try to figure it out myself.
Bingo
Hey,
The Sprint ROM .exe was the answer. Very smart, thanks again for helping us both out. Was getting a little nervous for about 2 minutes.

I did the same thing. Thank you very much...saved my butt!

I have not seen this... but my suggestion would be to do the Power + Camera + reset... and let it go into bootloader... then just reflash the rom.

Like the other guy said, force bootloader but take note of the version. Make sure you are running version 2.40 or greater. If you are running stock bootloader 1.06 or anything else it will have the reboot loop. Read the wiki in my signature fully before doing anything else. Did you read this before flashing?
QUICK question
I've put everything back to stock now.
can I install the radio AFTER I install DCD 3.2.5?????

You need to be upgrading to 2.40 before you do ANYTHING, not just the radio. That was probably your problem before. From stock, bootloader, radio, rom in that order.

This wiki tells you the steps.... I did it as follows... but... after doing the radio... you have to force it into the bootloader. It will not load into the phone rom.

With the ridiculously cheap prices of 1gb microsd cards these days, you'd think you all would be flashing from the card and not the crappy usb.
Anyway, if you must flash everything with usb, this is what you need to do.
From stock:
- Olipro 2.40
- Official Sprint 3.56 Rom Update for Radio 3.42.02 (DON'T LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN!!!)
- 3.2.5
- Olipro 1.20
- Radio 3.42.30
- Olipro 2.40
See the hassle it is when you don't flash from the card?

I didn't go through those steps GC. I did the olipro 2.40... then the 3.42.30... then had to force it into bootloader.... then did the DCD 3.2.3 update. That's it... and all done via USB cable.

There's a REALLY annoying problem going on. I had to reflash to stock twice again. 2.40 installs successfully, and im in the boot loader. I open up the sprint 3.56 (and 3.42.02 radio) with the RUU, and it just reverts to SPL 1.20!!!! Why does this keep happening?

Why does everybody say you must have an SD card to do the upgrades? I never did anything with an SD card and was able to flash all the way to 3.2.5 without it.

It's because you aren't into the true HARD spl. You have the soft 2.40 spl. You have to verify that the bootloader is 2.40 by doing the power + camera + reset.

I have the hard SPL. I'll verify it again once stock rom reinstalls (I have to keep reinstalling to stock everytime it switches back to SPL 1.20... really frustrating).

It shouldn't be reverting back to 1.2. If you have 2.4 installed correctly... and you check with the "Reset"... then you can do the RUU update right from that bootloader screen. If it is 1.2... then attempt the 2.40 hard spl from that screen instead of redoing the stock rom.

Who said you HAVE to do this by SD? I think we are saying it is easier.
GC detailed that to flash by USB/Activesync is about six or seven steps and about an hour of work, versus flashing by SD which is less than five minutes and a step or two.

I don't agree that the USB / Activesync is 6 or 7 steps. I did 4 or 5 at the most.. and I'm counting the power+camera+reset as a step.

When the bootloader screen comes up with 1.2, are you just assuming its done...or do you actually then keep clicking through the options until it actually flashes the phone with the ROM?
i was with DCD 3.2.5 and wanted to flash to new telus wm6.1 from telus... now i'm stuck with bl spl-2.07...tried to flash back with stock rom Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007 but at 1% it says not compatible...tried also uni_exitbootloader but nothing happen...whenever tried to flash with SD card...it's always keep saying "loading...", is anyone have suggestion to bring back my mogul to life?
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....

Hey All,
i've been doing alot of reading here on xda and have played with and updated several WM devices. didnt want to start a thread but it was my last resort for help.
I've got an HTC 6800 - TITA100 , from Bell mobility. i'd like to upgrade it to DCD's most recent ROM. here's what i've been able to do:
-installed SPL 2.47 bootloader successfully.
-grabbed the 'RUU_signed.nbh' from DCD's 3.2.5 ROM & renamed it to TITAIMG.nbh, placed on properly formatted sd card.
-sent the phone into bootloader (power,camera,reset buttons), it sees the img on the card, press the button to install, and it installs successfully.
this is where the problem comes up. after installation, i reboot the phone, goes to the first splash screen which still shows the Bell logo, and at the bottom i notice D: 3.2.5 , then it goes to a bell splash screen with no other writing, and just sits there.. doesnt get past this splash screen.
what i can do at this point is put the phone back into bootloader, and install the one of the htc/bell ROMs, reboot, and get into the OS without any problem.
is there some steps i'm missing? besides installing the SPL 2.xx bootloader, should something else happen before putting the cooked ROM ?
any help is appreciated !! thanks
What radio are you using?
i downloaded this radio to use: 3.42.50
should the radio be installed before trying to install DCDs OS? i may have tried that but dont remember 100%.
to get it functioning again (OS) i use the bell/HTC official rom, which i notice before the bootloader installs it, it shows that it will update bootloader, 2 splashscreens, radio, OS, etc...
incredible.. had tried so many things. flashed the radio, then tried flashing DCD and it boots fine now.. thought i had tried that already..

Yes. It's always good to load the Radio first. I currently cooked my own NBH file that includes the splash screens, 3.42.50 radio, and DCD 3.2.5 rom. That way I can do it all in one easy flash.

Bump!
I'm having the same issue. I'm with Bell Mobility.
I updated the bootloader with nueSPL Titan 2.47 pack and successfully installed the radio.
Then the device remains stuck on the blue bell loading screen. I've tried radio versions 3.35.04, 3.42.40 and 3.42.50.
I'm totally stumped on how to resolve this. Where do I find the RUU_signed.nbh?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
Press and hold Power and Camera and then press the reset button.
This puts it in Bootloader mode, then run the DCD's rom or Kitchen, when the Rom Update Utility starts, it will detect your phone and flash the rom.
Once the flash is finished, the phone should boot normal, and you can flash any other custom rom to the phone. It's just important to do the first 3 flashes correctly, then afterwards the rest is easy.

I updated my bootloader to SPL 2.47 and than upgraded my radio to 3.37.75 with success. After a hard reset the phone shows the splash screen with the new radio for a few seconds and then hangs up on the plain verizon screen. I can get into bootloader (I have reflashed about five times now and tried a few different radios 3.37.2 and the same issue remains) ????
Sounds like you have to add the rom now. So flash the rom image.

Just another observation way add the old Verizon radio. Why not 3.42.40 or 3.42.50?
Yeah I still had the stock rom installed. I expected it to function without the rom update. I am going to flash to dcd's 3.2.6. Which radio do you guys suggest for verizon?

For radios. You can't upgrade to a gps radio with a non gps rom. Sounds like a good way to brick your phone. Maybe read up before you flash again.
How do you establish active sync?
Plug the phone into a computer with activesync installed on the computer.
Never mind the active sync ? had to just take out the darn sd card
