I flashed my phone under the instruction of another site so I'm not exactly sure how to troubleshoot with the wiki here.
I flashed my phone from 3.35 to the new stock 3.56 rom with no problems. I then unlocked my phone and proceeded to flash the kaos f*** sprint take 3 rom. Everything went fine but the phone resets every time i get to the calibrating screen after bootup.
I've found out that the problem is that I unlocked with the 1.20 olipro bootloader instead of the 2.40. I followed some advice and tried to flash to a stock rom, but whenever the progress bar reaches 11% the phones resets back to the bootloader screen and the RUU says error and wants me to do recovery. I've tried with both 3.35 and 3.56 stock roms multiple times but the same thing happens.
I also tried flashing the stock roms via SD but it says:
TITAIMG.nbh - FAIL
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
OS -
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
the progress bar on the bottom looks to be at around 11% as well
Can anyone help please?
According to the stock rom wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome), you need to relock the phone first if going back to a stock rom
I would suggest going back to the stock rom first and then following the instructions to flash to a cooked rom, using the correct bootloader

My first time flashing a CDMA phone and I've got exactly the same problem. Can you please confirm that you didn't have to re-lock before flashing back to the stock ROM. Mine is Verizon, BTW. Also appreciate any others' advice regarding this matter. TIA.

Thank you for your help. I have successfully flashed the phone back to the non-GPS Verizon stock ROM, then I flashed the bootloader to 2.4 without any problem. But after flashing the phone to dcd's 3.2.5 ROM, I've got stuck at the Verizon splash screen, although I have tried to hard-reset after the flashing process already. Can somebody please suggest a resolution for this to work. I have flashed many GSM phones before but CDMA might be a little trickier.
Also, this VX6800 is a brand-new phone which has not yet been initial programmed with the carrier, would it be the cause? My apology for being such a noob. Thank you all for the inputs.

Pull the battery for about 30 seconds then hard reset....
If that does not work flash a stock gps rom and then flash DCD after that...either one should do the trick.....(sorry I should have added this before wasn't thinking)

Hello all
i need some help. just finished upgrading my mogul and it keeps on rebooting after a few seconds after it reaches the today screen. i have tried dcd 2.2.4 and 2.2.6 with same results.
i believe if i keep it plugged into the computer it will stay on. any help please!??!
thanks
I just had the exact same problem. Did you load any other software after flashing the radio and rom?
Unfortunately i couldnt find a solution that involved DCD's roms. I flashed to 2.4 2.6, 1.6 new radios but nothing worked. I had to use no2chems nuerom 2.0 buld 5044 which works great, but doesnt have the verizon specifics. GPS is good and its fast. If anyone else comes up with something please let us know as i would like to have some of that software back.
this has been posted many times.
most likely you do not have the new bootloader installed.

go here get the 2.40 bootloader and start over
thanks for the quick responses!!
first time doing all this, but nothing to hard i think in my opinion. you just have to get over the learning curve.
i used this guide: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
which bootloader should i use if that guide led me to the wrong one?
also where can i find the other rom?
thanks for the bootloader. i will give it a shot now
2. If you are using 3.16+ code then you need either:
>>>a. The reLocker if upgrading to the unofficial carrier released rom
>>>b. the unLocker (new) 2.40 if running custom built roms
you'll learn the terms eventually....
just an FYI
do a search on here and on google FIRST if you run into problems because most likely you'll not be the first to have the issue.
but if you can't find any answers most people here will be willing to help
just verified, i am already using 2.40
also im not new to forums... i am well aware of google and search tools. these forum websites are getting annoying with spam protection that half the time when i tried doing a search, it would not complete it.
i knew i was running a stock 3.16
did you have an old custom bootloader? you need to relock it if so then run the 2.40
if its like mine then when you relock it you will lock up on the bootloader and have to do exit bootloader to get back to the splash screen where it will lock again. I even flashed back to the stock rom and it relaoded. I think it may be an glitch in the s.27 radio personally.
i went from the latest stock to custom using the guide above. is there a need to relock it or do you leave it unlocked?
if you go from stock to custom bootloader and upgrading the radio 3.27 and a DCD rom you don't need to relock it.
you only need to relock for the leaked sprint rom
did you upgrade the radio too?
yes i used titan_radio_3.27.00
when i go into boot mood i get this:
TITA100
SPL-1.20.0lipra

Verizo 6800
After following the rom and radio upgrade steps I relocked the phone using Titan relocker as I was instructed. Now I get the rainbow boot screen showing SPL 1.06. Now the phone won't take any other programming on the USB. The best luck I had was using the Sprint rom but that fails at 11% with an wrong provider error. The Verizon rom fails at 0%. I tried relocking again and unlocking but all attempts fail. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to know WHERE you found the instructions that said to relock the phone after upgrading to a custom rom and radio.
Also please provide more information in your post...are you upgrading from verizon stock? Are you trying to flash a custom 3.0.x rom with the new 3.35.04 radio?
More Info
Upgraded from stock 2.09 to Titan 2.10 then Titan radio 3.27. All Went well then the relocker!

"Upgrade to 3.35.651.2:
3. If running pre-3.16 code,
>a. run the relocker
(don't worry about getting out of the bootloader - tri-color screen)"
It won't get out of the tri-color bootloader and won't respond to downloads. The computer can't see the phone on the usb port.
You should ignore the name in "re-locker" You don't have to re-lock anything after flashing. Now your best bet is to run olipro's 2.40. It is the new Titan un-locker, then flash your ROM.
The problem you're having is you're trying to flash a 3.0.x rom on your phone and you have a stock bootloader that will only flash/boot verizon signed roms. I'm not sure who wrote that tutorial, but you don't have to relock anything after you unlock (unless you're trying to flash BACK to stock).
Run 2.40-olipro titan unlocker to unlock your phone again so you can run the sprint/htc update. Then cook a verizon 3.0.x rom, or flash the clean rom already cooked.
Wont work now

I do not think he is not going to be able to run 2.4 in from the bootloader screen because it is not signed by VZW. He is going to need a stock VZW RUU, run it in, then he can go forward again.
Right...i kind of assumed he knew this by me posting that 1.06 would only flash/boot signed verizon roms. I guess I shouldnt have assumed.
You need to get the stock verizon rom AND radio...flash them from the bootloader youre in. Once the stock stuff is on there...let the phone boot up. Now you can unlock with 2.4...and run the sprint update once again...and after that...a custom 3.x.x verizon rom.
Do NOT relock after!
aThanks
Where can I find a stock verizon Rom?

hi, i just got the XV6800 from verizon today because my Moto Q9m died after only 7 months. so they gave me this for it. now after reading the forum and many other sites and tutorials. i am ready to flash my phone. is this the easiest "[Tutorial] Verizon xv6800 Custom ROM Flashing" to follow? i read it and it didn't seem that bad. just wanted to know and make sure if the names of the files he speaks of are the most recent one's. and i take it i should back up my factory setting file off the phone before i attempt to do this. a few of my friends at work has this phone and i liked the fact they have it doing somethings the iphone does. like you can scroll through contacts by just sliding your finger and all. i would like to do this stuff as well. is that all then included in the flash or must i install other apps.
Phone has
Software Version: 2.09.605.8 (ROM version)
Firmware Version: 1.30.60 (radio version)
please help, really appreciate it
thanks
His guide is pretty good. Everything is up to date except for the SPL. I would recommend using the latest bootloader put out by No2Chem - version 2.47, but that's my only change from his guide. It installs via an SD card only, whereas his guide uses the computer to get Olipro's 2.4. You should be able to find a guide to using SD cards to flash as well as links to 2.47 throughout this forum and ppcgeeks.
Or you can certainly follow his guide as written and you'll be just fine.
Ivan
Keep in mind that using No2chems SPL you cannot go back to stock Verizon radio and ROM..... So if your phone breaks, you have to bring it in as is and chance they don't notice the difference.....
ok on the fact that once you go new flash you can't go back to factory. so before i do this i should back up my contacts. since the phone is new i don't have anything else on it. is there anything else i should back up either? so after its flashed then how do i get the programs on to scroll by just sliding? is that stuff that can be put on with out flashing this. but from what i read on here flash makes the phone run much better anyway

You can flash the old bootloader back on the phone after upgrading to 2.47 though then go back to the original ROM and radio, you just cant flash provider ROM from 2.47 just like you cannot from 2.40.
Am I missing something about what you are saying?
so i can flash to newer rom and be able to go back.. now i'm confused
if you i install themes must it be a new roM

I'm pretty sure he's simply saying: if you use No2Chem's 2.47, you can't directly flash back to Verizon's stock firmware, but if you flash back to the old bootloader (factory bootloader), you can.
and LilSnoop40, as far as I know, all of those files are the most up-to-date that I could find. I may update the guide because I am noticing (from other people's experience) that after the 3.42.02 firmware (which I flashed to, not 3.42.30), that you need to use a Low-density MicroSD (not MicroSDHC) card to flash on the new radios.
If you need help with any of this in more detail, feel free to contact me.

serfs - As I understand it, once you flash to No2chems SPL, you cannot go back to a non GPS rom. I asked this in his thread and it was confirmed. Now, they didn't say whether you could flash Olli Pro and then use his re-locker and then flash the stock ROM.... Look at this post....

I have a Sprint Mogul and for some reason it won't boot. I have tried flashing dcd 3.2.6, nueROM pre3, and Sprint latest official ROM. Flashing works just fine, but when it goes to boot the HTC screen flashes for a second and then goes away. Sometimes, after 5 minutes it will boot up, but 99% of the time it just stops. Anyone got any ideas?
Update to a good bootloader. I recommend nueSPL-2.47 and see if that doesn't help it boot. Also take out the SD card to make sure it isn't having problems reading it and locking it up on boot.
The only time I've ever changed the bootloader is when I'm in Windows. How else would you do it?
I have tried flashing the Bootloader from the SD, from a stock ROM, and from a custom ROM, but it is still 2.47. I can't seem to downgrade to 2.40.

There is no need to downgrade.....why are you wanting to do that? After flashing did you pull the battery and the perform a hard reset?
I was just trying anything to get the phone to boot. I have pulled the battery and hard reset after flashing the bootloader and ROMs.
Okay Now I KNow Im New So Plz Dont Flame. I Tried Searching But Couldnt Find A How To. Once I Flash the new rom the phone will automatically reset but i get stuck at the new splash screen.i was told i should probably install a new radio rom. which i have. but i dont know how to flash just the gps. anybody help please.
You must install by sd method

Okay, lets start from the top. Did you flash it with a new SPL first? What ROM did you use? And what radio did you use? If you don't have the correct radio, a reboot loop will occur, which means you just need to flash it with a GPS enabled radio like the newer 3.42.50. That will overwrite your current radio and bring you back to speed.
are you saying the only way to flash the radio is to use the sd card?

Probably a bad flash. Flash the ROM again. If your phone is unlocked with spc code all zeros and you have olipro 2.40 bootloader and GPS radio 3.35 and up you should have no problems with Custom Titan ROMs. After you re-flash hard reset and pull the battery for a couple minutes.
