I've recently flashed to DCD's 3.23 ROM, and all went well; only problem is that I need to return my unit due to hardware issues! My carrier is US cellular, and I have downloaded the original US Cellular ROM Dump provided by DCD but I do not know hoe to flash this back onto the Titan... can anyone help? I have to return the unit upon receipt of the new one! Anyway, I plan on flashing the new unit, and It would greatly help if I new how to use the ROM Dump as a backup. Any direction that anyone can provide? Thank You all!!!
If your carrier's ROM dump has everything included (ROM, Radio, SPL, etc) like the Verizon one did, then you basically need to follow two steps:
(1) Relock using Titan Relocker
(2) Flash on the Stock ROM
you can find more info about this if you search for relocking
You need to Run the titanrelocker and then flash the radio and rom. Problem is there is a chance your usb wont work after the relock so you might have to flash the original radio via sd card then the original rom the same way.
Thank You for your replies; especially scrawnyb... I used your tutorial for my original flash; worked great. Lost all access to EPST though! Anyhow, I probably didn't specify well enough, the dumped ROM I'm speaking of is the one provided by DCD; I have no clue as to how to even begin to flash these files. I believe that all (radio etc.) is included, but, again, I'm not sure as to how to do it. I hope I'm not asking too much; if so, I apologize! here is a link to the files i'm speaking of; maybe that can help you help me. As for lllboredlll's reply, I don't know much of UC either! What do you think is my best shot? Thanks guys!

My Radio ROM update always failed at 10%
Device went to service center for repair
Sascha
well i wanna fix it today, pref not wait a month or three for them to fix/ send it back, i need it (i know probably not even a month but most things end up being longer than quoted in these scenarios)
how can i change my radio rom?
how can i make it writable?
are there any other ways other than using HimaUpgradeUt.exe???
thanks for your time!
Maybe somebody can create you an SD card with the ROM dumps on it (instructions in some other post on this forum) and send to you, so you can restore from there. Just my €0,02....
AFAIK you cannot force Radio ROM via SD card, only normal ROM.
btw. If the Radio update fails then your ROM chip is probably faulty and needs to be replaced
Sascha
hi damnation,
i've seen your other post as well where you mentioned upgrading hte bootloader. pls. don't, it's not wise to do that & sure won't solve your radio install problem. if you insist, you may try it before visiting the repair center.
i'm uncomfortable giving an advice due to the seriousness of your problem but if it's my own himalaya, i would probably try out to format storage using buzz_lightyears storage.cpl tool & doc repartition using toenailed backup partition 0 tools or task 28 via mtty.
those tools, writeups, posts are available at buzzdev.net. the only advice i can give you is to backup your DOC & ROMS before trying anything.
thanks rhmartin, will give it a go!
btw thanks to the others, if i have to send it back to base i will but i pref. not to...
thanks
US Cellular is notorious for not releasing updates for their phones unless it's truly broke. So it's unlikely an official 6.1 update will ever show up from them.
I know a few have successfully updated thru non-official channels by modifying other kitchens/roms.
Hoping someone who has done it can post what roms they used and what changes were needed.
Thanks,

If you can get a ROM dump, someone like DCD could probably provide you with a carrier cab. Otherwise, you need to write down a lot of your PST settings and restore them manually, including shared keys for data.
If you can manage to get a carrier cab, then you can do the same procedure as most people. If you want, look at the guide in my signature, the only thing different would be you need to get a carrier cab or the settings for your phone company.
Is there a tool that will let me make
A dump of my ROM? I would like the ability to go back in case I screw something up.
My main goal is to get the internal GPS working, and having 6.1 would be a plus, but not as big a goal.
Thanks,
BTC
Bump...
I am in the same boat at BTC.
My employer was with ATT and I had an 8525, waiting up upgrade to 8925/Tilt next month. They switched carriers to USC, and it was 6800 or a Q. I chose the 6800.
Thanks to XDA, long ago I unlocked my 8525, ran several custom ROMs on it, and had it doing everything but my laundry. Very cool.
But now again I have a stock phone. I was excited to have GPS onboard, but I am frustrated by this old ROM.
I am more than willing to do a ROM dump if you can point me to instructions on how to do it, and PM me or something with who to send it to.
THANKS!
I already have a USCC rom dump but I have been lazy. I will try and find time today.

Hate to clutter up the board, but just wanted to gush "THANK YOU" for doing this and so darn quickly! If this were Plurk, I would send Karma your way!
THANK YOU!!
I... I, I think I lo... lov... I think I love you! Thank you DCD, and thanms to all the rest for the helpful info! I spent 3/4 of my shift (protecting and serving), not "protecting and serving"; I've been looking for US Cellular (wretched... ewewwww!) specific ROMs and tutorials. So many of them in here, but was unsure as to which was appropriate. I'm going to attempt scrawnyb's tutorial with DCD's latest ROM... I hope I don't screw this up!
And how would I use these files?
DCD, is this a fully flashable format? (having to download it via my phone at the moment, so will take over an hour to finish...), however, with the proper bootloader and radio, could this be flashed over one of your roms and be fully functional?
Thanks,
BTC
did your spl unlock code work for you? mine isn't working for me how did you get you msl?
I used the registry tweak that creates a log file containing the SPL code, once I had that I was able to use QPST to read the phone programming, and reload it back once the phone was updated to a new BL, radio and rom. This kept all of my data settings, and all I had to do was run the carrier cab file.

I overwrote my DMU key with the DCD rom.. will this put me back online?
Still available?
After some rebuilding and starting over, I no longer have DCD's rom. Following the URL in this thread the page has reverted to GoDaddy. Is the USCC rom for the 6800 still out there anywhere?
TIA!

If you are referring to his rom dump, it would only be useful to pull apps and settings out of the original rom. It's not flashable, mostly because of how old their radio/rom was. It is very likely that you would brick the phone if you were somehow able to flash this back.
I may still have a copy on my dead computer (You aren't the only one DCD!, lol), need a new HDD then I can see whats still in my archives of stuff.

Hey guys,
With this 1.95 AT&T ROM, just a question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439346
- I had the HARD SPL and cooked ROM before this
- I then flashed to this ROM because I wanted to go back to stock for a return.
Is that it then? Am I good? Or do I have to continue to flash the Stock SPL as listed in the HardSPL instructions for reverting to stock?
I'd really appreciate any help guys. I need to know if this ROM 100% puts me back to the way I was before starting with flashing. Or is there something else I have to do?
NOTE: I posted this in the thread for the actual ROM, but because of a lack of activity in that thread, I was afraid of not getting a response. Sorry for any inconvenience.
When I returned my Fuze, I just flashed the stock ROM and left Hard-SPL and didn't get any static. They didn't check the bootloader or anything. YMMV, so you may want to revert back to Stock SPL if you think they would check the bootloader. Personally, I would feel confident with just the stock ROM.
Those clerks don't know chit unless it has to do with the iPhone.

i having the same pro flash and no luck with the radio wish i could get the stock radio back
The stock radio is in the Radio thread. Flash that and you'll be fine. As was said however, you shouldn't even need it as i doubt they'd even check that.
Hey thanks for the replies, guys! That's great.
That will probably work for my return. But, I also have my wife's phone which I'm going to flash back to stock and I just want to make absolutely sure that EVERYTHING is back the way it was when purchased. Also, just for future reference I want to know how to get all components back to normal. Where is that stock radio thread?
Any help on that? What else am I missing?
UPDATE:
It just occurred to me that I should have written down the ROM and radio version numbers before doing the HardSPL and ROM flashes to try out some cooked ROMs.
Anyway, I've got the stock AT&T ROM on there now, but how do I know what radio came with my phone? Is there anything else I should put back on there? I know they won't check but I just want to be thorough.
Thanks!
if in the US it had to be the 1.02.25.32 radio as i dont think it came with any others initially in the US. if u go to the wiki it lists all the stock roms and radios that came with the device.
huh??
So, if I now have that radio and the Original ROM am I all back to stock settings now?
I'm confused though. Because out of the box I did the following:
1. Hard SPL (File called: RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3)
2. NATF ROM 2.2
...then decided I wanted to go back and did nothing more than flash the stock ROM.
Without flashing back an SPL, how could I have still ended up with everything back to stock?
Hi guys,
Im having some trouble restoring my phone to its original settings.
I can get the original ROM (o2 uk) on ok but i think it would be wise to get the original splash screen on before i put the original SPL and give it back for replacment but i cant seem to get it to work. The image that i need to use came as a seperate file with the version of the ROM i downloaded.
As instructed on the forum sticky i looked through the wiki and then found the info i thought was relevant
I followed the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2709600&postcount=1
and first attempt i used this little add on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
But when i tried to make the nbh using NBHUtil.exe it just didnt make the image at all even though it said done.
I figured, 'ok, il try it without the extra step' and this time it made an image but i cant seem to get the image to work, it just keeps failing and i have to put a fresh stock rom back. I have tried both the USB and the microsd methods of flashing. When using the microsd version it fails on the the bootloaderstage if that helps at all?
Thanks in advance guys
(could a moderator please merge this thread into this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105&page=11 one - i thought it was only a single post when i looked at it >.<)
hey, man! you don't need to flash a custom boot screen. just flash the stock rom first, it will take care of everything. then you will need to flash back to the stock spl. here are some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502720
Did it work? Did you get the original splash after you flashed the stock ROM?
i've had tael's rom, flashed back to stock and the splash right now is at&t's bars or something.
Hi,
I have searched for soemone that has had the same ROM as me and to no avail. In order to install a new ROM I need to use the right 'extraction kit'. It seems none of them are for the ROM starting with 1.43? Am I being daft or should I just stop looking and figuring it out now?
I bought a T-Mobile phone, had it unlocked yesterday. It still has all the T-Mobile settings on and I can't put the Vodafone settings on. I have been 'playing this game' for many years now, I have bought the Bepe ROM a bumber of times for different devices; excellant stuff. I want to do the same again.
Please could someone point me in the right direction please - For Clarification:
"Which HSPL Package should I use?"
Or if there is none - "How to change the settings on a phone that does not let you?"
Thank-you in advance,
Will
Has no-one ever had this ROM? I cannot possibly be the only one?! Don't answer this - But do you think I will brick my phone by using a 1.42 ROM HSPL Package de-rommer?
Will
For HD2, if I remember correctly, there is no ROM dump solution.
Check here if you find your stock ROM (thought I had seen it there) to have it as a fallback solution.
To install any other ROM than the T-Mob stock ROM on your HD2, just use HSPL4.exe to install HSPL 2.08 on your phone, and flash via USB or SD card.
You can actually find all you need in the stickies.
Thanks you confirmed what I thought. I have found the Stock ROM. I've tried the HPSL4, no joy!
Thank-you,
Will
Did you try HSPL2.exe? This should definitely work if there should be issues with HSPL4.exe.
your a genius - thank-you....
Will
SOLVED
To anyone reading this;
What I have learnt is as follows:
- It seems that you run a HSPL PKG whether it is 1,2,3,4, or 5, and you will not brick your phone - ( I am not guaranteeing this - but going on my own experience).
- I was advised by experts that had gone through the process, the wrong HSPLs. This is NOT their fault, but it appears your phone is very unique.
- All you need to do is trial and error.
- You will be asked when running the HSPL which ROM version you are installing - make sure you have read the thread of the ROM you are installing very well. (Even have it open to run through it when run HSPL.
- Once you have 'cracked' your Stock ROM, then it seems that you can then run the correct HSPL PKG for the particular ROM you want.......
I hope this helps and you have learnt from my research.....
Take Care,
Will
