Bootloader Update Issue - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

OK I received a brand new xv6800 from Verizon today. Haven't even activated it yet. Wanted to update it first. So i downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and ran it. I get to the boot loader screen and it reads 2.40. Then the directions state disconnect cable and reconnect. I do that and the boot loader shows that it is connected via USB, however I cannot get a new activesync connection unless i restart. But when i restart lose the 2.40 bootloader. and the update errors out. I have tried the titan exitbl file but it cannot find the usb connection.
What am I missing?? Do I need to go the SD card route (dont have one yet)
My bootloader is 1.04
Any help would be appreciated

Don't worry about activesync after you replug it in. Just keep following the instructions. As long as when you plug it back in, it says USB at the bottom, just keep going.

Ok that sort of worked. Now im stuck at the 2.4 bootloader screen Fun stuff

You can run the fix from here.
The same fix is probably posted here too I just don't know where.

Thanks ran that again and it worked so I am back in business. Since you happen to be here any suggestion on which kitchen and radio to install

See this post. It worked for me.

Im working on radio and got it from your link but there is no link in the post to a kitchen i was going to downlod the latest one fromt eh lifesnotgood link which is called "dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2.rar" that should work right?

I have never used DCD. I use ppckitchen.org. You may want to consider just loading a custom ROM first unless you know how to install and use a Kitchen already. Sometimes it is easier to flash a prebuilt custom and get your phone working, then start cooking and flashing your own.

With the ppckitchen you don't have to do carrier cabs, you just select your carrier in the kitchen.

OK i really appreciate all the help and I know i sound like a total noob but went to ppckitchen and everything i see is a kitchen i dont see a full rom, what am i missing

They only have the kitchen to make a ROM. belive DCD has some custom ROMS.

Thanks for all your help all installed and running, now just need to activiate with verizon

'Have a li'l question about updating to Olipro myself...
I could've swore that b4 I'd upgraded to Sprint OEM ROM v3.56.651.0, I could update to Olipro v2.40 via SD. Now, however, I'd had to do so via USB. Am I mistaken? Can you not use the .nbh file in the .exe pkg? I like bein' free of HAVING to use a desktop to accomplish PPC tasks.
Thanks, Everyone.

Just download DCD's 3.2.2 ROM on the 1st page of his post. He has a kitchen AND a ROM.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407376
As for using NueSPL 2.47, DO NOT use it until No2chem has finished his research on downgrading XV6800's.... While it has distinct advantages over olli 2.4, he's not sure about downgrading the bootloader to 1.X versions..... That is if you ever have to take your phone into verizon for service....

Bootloader hangs

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.

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.

Bricked?

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.

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.

nubee needs help with Verizon radio flash

Before I start I did searches and looked at all the posts that apply to this situation and could not find anything. After spending many hours searching decided to try posting.
Situation:
I have a Verizon xv6800 that I am trying to update so I can have GPS. The first thing I did was to flash the OLIPRO 2.4 ROM. After the flash was complete everthing seemed OK but the power button no longer worked to turn the phone on. Also if you called the phone it would not ring.
The next thing I tried was to use an SD card to load nuespl 2.47. Again everything seemed OK but the power button still did not work.
Then I loaded OLIPRO 1.2 ROM and now everything seems work perfectly including the power button.
The boot screen verifies that the OLIPRO 1.2 is loaded.
Now I am confused as to which radio I should be using since the "Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!! " post said not to use OLIPRO 1.2.
Can any body tell me the next steps I should do to get an upgraded radio?
Please make it simple since obviously I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for any assistance.

Ok no worries about the newbie thing. We all were newbies at one time!
First it sounds like the 2.40 flash did not completely go well. So since you are back to 1.20 I would upgrade in this order:
1) First update your radio to 3.42.50. This is the latest radio and seems to help with phone service issues. At least that is what I have seen. You will need the RUU install files so I attaching RUU.zip for this. Unzip this and then when you download the upgraded radio drop that file into this directory and then flash. If successful your phone should display 3.42.50 at boot time.
2) Next upgrade to 2.40 of the unlocker. I am attaching the install I use, so unzip the file and then run it to install/upgrade your phone. If successful your phone should show 2.40 when done.
3) Now you are ready to persue a ROM or kitchen that is GPS capable. There are many of them. I am currently using DCD's 3.26 kitchen but No2Chem also has a 5067 kitchen that is very stable. If you have questions about this process do not hesitate to email me at [email protected].

I did step one and everything seemed OK. Took several minutes with progress bar and exited normally. The boot screen indicates 3.42.50 as per instructions. But now the phone gets stuck at the white verizon screen. Should I proceed to step 2?
Thanks

Move on to step 2. Quick question...is the current ROM the stock VZW ROM or one from XDA?
Steve
Actually he gave you the instructions backwards. (Tho his method may work, it's just not what the Wiki says to do) You always update the bootloader first, then the radio, then the rom. The new radio requires a new bootloader (hence why it's locking up), go ahead and reinstall BL2.4, if that doesn't work, see if you can find an older non-gps radio, and flash it via the SD card. Once you get back to either an old bootloader and old radio, or a new bootloader and a new radio, then you will have better success getting the rom flashed.
You were fine actually with your original 2.40 install, it will boot once normally, however as soon as it goes to sleep or you turn it off it won't turn back on, a soft reset will get it back up, but it will keep crashing. So at that point you can flash the radio and ROM from the Bootloader screen.
If you can get 2.40 (actually get 2.47 if you can, worse case use 2.40 and upgrade the radio and rom to the new version, then run 2.47 from the pocketpc and it will update you to 2.47 (I just did this yesterday).
So reflash to 2.40 if you can, otherwise do some searching for an old radio (non-gps) and flash it.
Then go back and re-read the wiki, it tells you that you have to flash the bootloader, then the radio, then the rom. It's always in that order for a first time flash. Once thats all done, any future updates should only require a single flash (for radio or rom).

The issue with reversing steps 1 and 2 is that the Olipro 2.40 does not allow the ability to update the radio ROM. You have to back down to 1.20 and then do the radio. That has been the case for the last two radios I have upgraded to. So that is why I put it in the order I did.
Steve
Ah ok, well, I had 2.40 installed for over a month and have updated my radio 3 times (tho I did it via SD card), I assume you meant it doesn't work via USB (and I remember now seeing posts that talked about that)
I stand corrected. His way should work. Just the phone will not boot properly until all 3 items are updated to GPS compatible files, BL 2.40+ Radio 3.42+, Rom 3.x. Prior to all 3 being updated tho, you should be able to flash from the bootloader, so boot into it and flash from there until all 3 are updated.
Once all 3 are flashed, your phone should work normally.

Yes via USB since SDHC cards are not supported and I do not have a regular SD card. I really should buy one...they are cheap now.
Steve
I reloaded the original radio using a sd card and now the phone works again. Can I load OLIPRO 2.40 using a SD card? If so how.
Thanks
Ken
Not that I am aware of (tho I don't know everything....), I flashed 2.4 from my PC via activesync, let it reboot, and then had to run out and get a flash card and flash card reader (in order to format it correctly) then was able to flash the radio, and then flashed the rom via Activesync. (I just remembered that I had to flash my radio from SD card, I had completely forgotten until I stopped to remember why I bought the memory card reader)
If you have it working with your old rom, then I would copy 2.47 BL over to your phone in windows and run it, it will flash the bootloader for you (tho it requires a preformatted SD card (not SDHC)). It will offer to format it for you if you can't get it formatted correctly yourself. If it's already in the right format, it doesn't have to be empty as it will just copy the file, reboot, and delete the file automatically. If it's not in the right format and you have stuff on it already, copy it off to your harddrive, then put it back in and it will format it for you. Once it's formatted correctly, it will still work normally in the phone and on your PC, so it's worth it to get the SD card into the right format.
Once 2.47 is installed, boot into BL mode (camera, power and reset button), and then do the rest of the flashing over USB. It will auto-reboot after each flash, so keep going back into BL mode until after you get the rom flashed. Then let it boot normally, LET IT RUN CUSTOMIZATION (pending you are installing DCD's rom) If you are installing another carrier's rom, then never let customization run (unless it's your carrier). Once customization is done running, install your carrier's cab file, this is pretty important or the phone won't properly work, I would do one more soft reset and at that point your phone is all ready to go and you can set it up, and install your programs.

I wish I had known that the power button wouldn't work untill all three steps were complete. Because of that I got concerned that I may have screwed up the phone and started trying all sorts of things to fix it (probably making it worse in the process).
Now that I know how to get back to the original ROM & Radio if something happens I will try again to get the GPS working.
Thanks Billy the Cat and stevefxp

No problem. I was like you the first time I started to flash my phone, I had just gotten the BL installed and then had to leave, my phone wouldn't stay running so my wife got extremely mad at me because she would call and since the phone wouldn't turn on it would go to VM. It took me a while to get her to appreciate my phone again, til then it was "A huge waste of money" in her opinion.
Since then tho, I have shown her the great features of being able to search for an item on ebay when we are at an auction to get an idea of a item's value before bidding, been able to take pictures and email them to her at no cost (old phone was $.25 per message), and having the GPS makes it much easier to find some of these remote auction locations we go to.
So after all that, shes not screaming at me for buying the phone anymore, tho she still isn't happy I spent the money. Oh well, she fritters more money away than I do, so I don't have a problem buying something that will last me for 2 years with the amount that shes frittered away in a week many times.

I am still having the same problem with the white Verizon screen. These are the steps I took.
1. Reloaded the original radio 1.30.60 using the SD card approach
phone worked
2. Reloaded the original ROM 1.6.7
phone worked
3. Loaded nueSPL-2.47 using the sd card
Red/Blue/Green screen had:
TITA100
SPL-2.47No2Chem TITAN SPL EVT
CPLD - 9
4. Loaded radio 3.42.50 using the SD card
Verizon white screen has
M 09 P DCAAXOM - 4350
H3B60775B R 3.42.50
D 2.17
The phone now still hangs at the white Verizon screen. I really thought I knew the process but clearly I still do not understand something.
Any help??
every thing is ok, load a gps compatible phone rom like dcd 3.2.6 using the cd card method and it will work after that
I have the 3.2.6 kitchen downloaded from DCD1182 but I can't find the nbh file unless it is the RUU_signed.nbh file and I just have to rename it to TITAIMG.nbh
If that's not it where can I download the 3.2.6 nbh file.
Thanks

That is it.....
You guys are great. The phone is working again and has radio 3.42.50 and ROM 3.2.6 on the white screen so I guess everthing is correct now.
I also loaded the Verizon CAB to get internet and reprogrammed the phone with *228
I have one last question. What happened to the battery indicator in the upper right hand corner?
I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me. I read all the instructions but knowing nothing about what I was doing there is some information that would have been very helpfull if I had only known.
1. If you get in troubble you can reload the original radio and ROM to get the phone working again.
2. You really need to complete all the steps before you can expect the phone to work properly. I kept trying to test the phone at each step to make sure that it still worked. This approach got me in all kinds of trouble.
3. Don't panic if something doesn't seen right just ask the experts on this board. They have a wealth of knowledge on how to get out of trouble.
4. Make sure you have a micro SD card on hand before you start.
5. While it didn't answer all my questions read the WIKI flashing documentation completely before you start.
Again - thank you everyone for helping me to get my phone upgraded.
Ken
you can get the battery by changing the registry.
hklm/software/microsoft/shell/showtitlebarclock.
not sure what all the setting do. mine is set to 0 and i have the battery icon.
alternatively you can use htc home customizer to change the value for you.

Cricket XV6800 Bricked

I currently have a Verizon Wireless fully flashed to cricket XV6800. I decided to know about hacking the Mogul so what I try to do was Look up WMDC 6.1 and apply it to my phone. When i did this the screen stopped at 11%. I took out the battery and tried to turn it on and i get a Red, Green, and Blue color on the start up screen. The words that are on the phone are TITA100 SPL-1.20.Olipro and on the bottom it says USB when connected and Serial when not connected. I looked every where to and figure it out how to get my phone back to the same way. I downloaded so many programs like Titan Unlocker, Titan exitbl, but all these programs do is say my phone is not connected when it is connected. I hear the Sound when the connection for the USB is connected and disconnected. What can i do Will i ever get my phone back to the same state that it once was. I was wondering also that since my phone was flashed that the software will be erased. Is there any way that I can get my Cricket Service. By the way before i did all the hacking what i did was back everything up on the memory card. Is there a way I can restore that through the phone even though i cant access the menu?
I'm going crazy--Thank you for your time to read and for those who can give me some word of advice or some way that my problem can be solved.
Thank you
if u are using xv6800.. i believe u have to install bootloader 2.40 or 2.47.. maybe that might be the problem when installing wm6.1
First, your phone is not bricked.. bricked means broken.. unfixable.. a brick!
You also need to let us know what you software you want to run... DCD 3.2.6?? WMDC 6.1 is Windows Mobile Device Center.. it's not a rom?? So I dont know what you tried to flash.
You need to read the instructions!! Sounds like You upgraded your rom (or tried to) with a non compatible bootloader.. if you dont want to bust your $200 - $500 phone perminently.. you should read the directions twice.. (I read them 4 times, then asked questions before the first time I flashed mine)
When you plug in the device and hear the usb sound.. check device manager.. make sure you see a usb device.. Your OS shoul have installed drivers... Then try the info below.
scrosler said:
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.

After that you can Flash a Radio, then a rom (I recommend the SD method)
And the versions in my signature.
You can get the SPL 2.40 here:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/spl/
You should also read this WIKI
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanProblems
If you cant flash SPL 2.40 you will need to flash back to a ROM compatible with SPL 1.20
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
I'd try to grab one of thoise older Roms and flash using SD card method.
Then from within Windows Mobile (on your device) Upgrade bootloader to 2.47 (Available from the same link as 2.40 above)
Then flash the radio and rom version I have in my signature.
And dont forget to install carrier cab.
I can't seem to connect my xv6800 to the computer so I can run that program.
I plug it in and the sound comes up and I run the program but it says that it can't copy to device.

Then you need to get a Rom and radio compatible with SPL 1.20.. You'll need a SD card thats Equal to or less than 2GB (NON SDHC)
Check the compatibility here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
Read the instructions for flashing this here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TITAN_GettingStarted
Check the Flashing with a SD card section.
Process is the same for the radio and the rom.
I cant seem to find an available rom that you need though.. I'll post back when i do.
Unless someone else has a trick for you...
You can also try a another machine that may recognize your phone.
What did you actually try to flash your phone with, and how did you do it.. this is important to help you.
Download DCD 1.6.10 and flash it to your device with the SD card method (Instructions and links in my previous Post) I couldnt find the rom, but I downloaded the kitchen and cooked a rom that should work for you.
Download it from my webserver here:
http://x51.nx-1.com/TITAN/Roms/
Remember you need a proper SD card for this.. if you don't have one, you'll need to buy one.
After flashing this rom.. Assuming your radio is compatible... You should boot into the OS (forget making calls or getting data connection) Just download SPL 2.47 and execute it on your device.. once the SPL is upgraded, Flash the newest Radio, flash the newest rom, run the carrier cab, install aplications..
Let me know if you run into trouble.
okay so what I did was cook up a ROM and then added the Radio 3.37 from alltel on it. I restated the phone and waited the windows mobile 6.1 load screen did not change I moved my keyboard and the sound functioned. I did a restart a hard reset everything I believe it is something with the rom. Any suggestions?
Thanks

do you have one of the correct bootloaders? because just flashing to a custom rom and adding a new radio doesn't give you the bootloader that you need so you have to have that too...you can check it by holding down the power button, the camera button and inserting your stylus into the soft reset hole at the bottom of the phone and to get back out of it just do a soft reset but it needs to be be either 2.40 or 2.47 not 1.20 or anything else

if you now have the correct bootloader and radio...try flashing with a pre-cooked rom like dcd 326 or the rom from the links that i gave you...the popular one was the black pill and there is one that's specifically for cricket
do I just google that build number or is there a specific program I should download?

I included links, and all the information you would need.. (Like the Rom/Radio/SPL compatibility list) yet you didn't read it.
I spent time finding those links, downloading a rom.. cooking it for you, and uploading it to my webserver so you can download it.

I also explained that once you boot into windows with that rom, you need to upgrade your bootloader to 2.47 (with instructions) and then your radio, and then rom.
The path was simple..
Flash dcd 1.6.10 (compatible with SPL 1.20) so the phone will boot
Upgrade SPL (bootloader to 2.47)
Flash new radio (3.47.50)
Flash new Rom (3.2.6)
Run carrier cab.
If you are still asking about where to get the (SPL) bootloader.. I guess I cant help you....

Uh Oh. Did I just trash my Titan?

I've been a long time lurker here and I just recently acquired an XV6800 (currently suffering with an i760). I have read the Titan Wiki (as well as countless other pages, and yes, I did search before asking) and I think I may have just made a mistake.
I had a stock 1.04 bootloader on it and following the directions I found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
I upgraded to the nueSPL 2.47 package. I used the SD card to do the upgrade. From what I can tell, the bootloader installed just fine. The program ran successfully and when I check my bootloader (camera-power-reset) it shows that 2.47 is installed.
What I neglected to do was read the "IMPORTANT" section first. (I know, I know...) My phone has a version 2.xx (stock) ROM on it, not 3.xx.
Did I just brick my phone, or is there something I should do to try and reverse changing the bootloader? Or, am I fine, and I don't really need to worry about this?
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Dustin
lol no your Phone is OK.. and this goes to ANYONE .. if your Phone boots
(to the bootloader 4 color screen) your Phone is ok .. just need to load
up the correct Radio or OS ROM / custom OS ROM..
ok DustinEarnhardt
to fix your issue .. I take it .. you just unlock your phone and loaded a GPS Radio?
if so all you need is to load a new OS ROM, put your Phone back in bootloader made ..
connect it to the computer .. when you see "USB" on the screen you are ready to load a new OS ROM ..
simple download any custom OS ROM you like then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
thats all you need to do.. unless you did not load the correct Radio .. then
you'll need to load up a new radio as well..
BTW the only time a Phone is "trash" is when you can't get in to SPL bootloader mode
BTW you can load a new Radio via Flash or USB ..
I made a little RUU for USB Radio flash .. but its very easy
via an mSD card .. just put the radio file with the name "TITAIMG.NBH"
on your mSD card and plug it in .. you can do the same
for OS ROMs as well..
Thank you for the quick response! This place is great!
To clarify, basically right now, I have a stock ROM and radio, with a 2.47 bootloader. I can get the 4 color bootloader screen no problem, and the phone boots normally to the stock OS ROM and operates.
My next step (again following the guide here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome ) is to upgrade the radio ROM to Titan Radio ROM 3.42.02. I'm basing this on the decision to use the dcd 3.2.6 kitchen. It was recommended here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=dcdtitanroms to use that Radio ROM. (Oh and I'm using dcd 3.2.6 because from everything I've read, its the most stable at the current writing.)
Hopefully there are no huge problems with what I'm about to do, but if there is, maybe someone can stop me before I try to do this later tonight.
yp thats about it..
Load up a new Radio .. I like "3.42.50" then load up any OS ROM you like..
