Hello knowledgeable people,
I am sure that I will get flamed, as I am sure that this has been asked before, but after searching I cannot find a solid answer. I am not new to flashing my rom but have only flashed the radio once. I want to upgrade to a newer radio using the SD card method. I have DCDs 3.2.6 and am curious that if I flash only the radio if I will have to re-flash the rom as well, or will the new radio just write over the pre-existing radio and leave the rom untouched?
any insight?
flash away
just flash the radio only nbh file and it will only upgrade the radio
just extract the radio u want to flash to into your SD card
download it from DCD's storage site here
i highly recommend 3.42.40....power+camera+reset, will flash radio only leaving ur phone just how u had it seconds before only with a newer radio
hey if u get some problem with 3.42where your text messages gets lost in transaction or u recieve the message 2-3 minutes late I recommend using radio 3.39
Just a heads up it took me forever to fix this
As linked in the current leading sticky thread of the forum: "NEED HELP?? LOOKING FOR GUIDES?? NEW?? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting"
the main Titan Wiki has a link to Upgrading Custom ROMs/Kitchens & associated radios with flashing guides - Titan with GPS Home Page - Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1 with GPS & EVDO Rev A
...there you will find Radio Upgrade - Changing the radio while keeping your current data & OS ROM untouched - via the microSD card flashing method

Hello all, i have Qwest service
i recently attempted a Rom upgrade to dcd 3.0.1.
I unlocked with olipro 2.40
then i ran the sprint 3.35 rom upgrade
and lastly tried to load dcd's Rom
all went fine (thanks to the tireless efforts of xda and ppc geeks contributors) until i tried to load dcd's rom.
my download of dcd 3.0.1 was corrupt ( i have since figured out that if you improperly input the download letters, your download will be corrupted without letting you know- always verify the file size when complete)
Because of this i ended up letting the sprint customizations run.
I have since made the change from the sprint rom 3.25 to dcd's rom but apparently, the sprint customizations, that i let run have hosed my data ability.
searching leads me to believe the best/easiest way to fix my data problem- (no data at all) is to relock my phone and load the original radio and rom
thanks to Bunvilla at PPCGeeks, i have the rom (2.13) but no one seems to have the radio (1.39)
any assistance would be appreciated- all of us Qwest subscribers (which piggy backs on Sprints network) are having a very difficult time finding any help for our phones
Does anyone have a copy of the radio or know where to find one?
Does anyone know how to make a copy of the radio and/or rom from a non-upgraded phone?
Does anyone have any other ideas how to get my data working again?
I have searched and read nearly every post on both xda and ppc site, so thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me/us

so you know this is an issue it seems with all new roms with the new sprint radio. i don't have any Data connection on mine as of this point and even after re locking and unlocking again (5 times) i still don't have data. i game from 2.40 oli , Nexvison 2.3.1.02. VZW and 3.27 Radio. i get authentication problems when trying to access the National Data Network. "user name and password incorrect.
you do need to go back to a stock rom and compatible radio to get your data working before attempting the upgrade again.
however, this doesnt have to be radio 1.39.
either relock or change to olipro-1.20, flash your original stock rom, and flash radio 2.17. then you should be able to get your data working, although it may take a call to qwest.
i saw iota mentioned in the topic but not the post... qwest does not include IOTA in their ROM. sprint IOTA will only work for sprint.
Thanks for the reply DCD- and thanks again for all your hard work.
You mentioned to downgrade to my original ROM and load the compatible RADIO from 2.17.
-Does this mean the complete sprint RADIO and ROM 2.17 or just the RADIO portion?
- if it's just the radio portion, where would i find that ( i have searched endlessly, hence the delay in posting a reply) ?
-if it is the complete radio and ROM, am i supposed to flash my oem ROM 1st or flash it after the 2.17 radio and ROM (like we do to upgrade thru 3.35 to DCD 3.0.1) ?
- good to know qwest doesn't use IOTA, although i am curious what IOTA actually is
Obviously, anyone's help here is appreciated
well i might be able to come to your rescue again. I believe if u can load a ROM that lets u have access to the extrom, (read and write to it) i have the original content that came in the extrom for qwest. the sprint upgrade rewrites over the qwest stuff and puts in the sprint stuff. i know i have the contents of the extrom for qwest but im gonna look here in my computer because i just might have the iota for qwest. otherwise i dont know why im hanging on to this 1 IOTA in my "qwest phone folder"
ill post the contents in a second post have to upload to rapidshare
ok i hope these work for u;
http://rapidshare.com/files/104457472/QWEST_2.13_extrom.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/104457828/qwest_IOTA.rar
u can use 1.47 radio instead of 1.39, it doesnt matter which radio u use between the 2, 1.47 is better anyways.
u just have to load a rom that allows u to unhide and write to the extrom/ dcd 3.01 and his other version can be done but u have to know how to manipulate it, otherwise DCD roms have the extrom hidden and he removed some reg entries
and stuff so u probably want to use no2chem rom or something/ then dump the qwest2.13 extrom into the extrom and see what happens/ but this is what was in my qwest rom extrom before i cleared it.
good luck
Well , i'm not exactly sure what to do with this information you have given me, but i will root around these forums so more and see if i can't make sense of it.
unless someone else decides to chime in
thanks again, Bunvilla
i came home for lunch and my buddy just bought a qwest mogul/ i loaded the unlocker 240 / next and it is where i think u went wrong is that u need to load the radio 3.35 FIRST then the rom/ cause i next loaded radio 3.35 and then a DCD custom 3.01 Rom with a whoppin 29mbs of memory free after installation/
i was done in 30min/ I did however have to get the SPC code to get into the NAM settings because it changed his MIN to something else/ it took 5min to get spc code and then a few min to correctly add his MIN and the right security format for the data connection/ everything went smooth and i made back to work with almost 10 min left on my lunch hour/
by the way i would get a message saying that" the account was not authorized to call that number" and then quote off some code/ but when i changed the NAM settings back it was good to go
Hello guys, I have a little bit of a problem, and I am hoping that you guys can help me out. About 10 months ago I upgraded from my stock ROM to dcd's 2.3.2. rom and 3.27.00 radio. Every thing went fine, loaded up 2.40 olipro and the installation went perfect. Now last month I saw that dcd came out with 3.2.6 and wanted to upgrade my rom and radio, but this is were i'm running into problems. I was able to flash the 3.2.6. rom, but I am unable to flash the radio. I have searched up and down these forums and checked out the wiki's and havn't been able to find a solution. So now all i'm left with is a phone that can't make a phone call but is still able to send sms messages. If anyone has any helpful tips or even a solution to my problem it would be much appricated.
I thought the 3.27 radio works with 3.2.6. What is happening when you try to flash the radio? and what method are you using to flash it (SD card or pc)? Also when you bootup the phone does it say 3.27 radio still? I believe all the newer DCD roms need a carrier cab have you installed the cab? I'm pretty sure the phone won't be able to make calls without the cab installed. 1 more Q what service do you have?

When I flash the radio it goes to 8% flashes a red light and then resets. I have also tried both methods of flashing but none works. When I bootup the phone it does still say 3.27 as the radio. I have also tried to install a carrier cab but have had no luck.
Try updating to Hard SPL 2.47
The 3.27 Radio is NOT compatible with ANY DCD version 3.X and higher..... Have you read the Wiki? Can you flash the radio using the SD card method? All of your questions have answers in the Wiki.....
You should flash back to 2.3.2. Go into the bootloader(tri-color screen) and then flash 2.3.2 to the phone..... reboot it.... it should load up ok.... If this works for you to this point, you have several options to upgrade the radio ..... Read the Wiki....

Hey everyone
Just had a couple of questions about radio roms:
1. Just wondering what's the point of upgrading my radio rom?
2. Is there a page where the radio rom version changes (upgrades/downgrades) are shown?
3. I tried to upgrade to 3.42.50 from 3.37 and everytime i try to do the upgrade
it goes till 8% and then it says your phone is not built for the rom?
Thanx..
XV6800
OS: WM6.5
Radio:3.37.75
The benefit of upgrading the Radio is mainly for the GPS capability. Some say that one radio is better than another for gps locks. Either way, if you want to have gps, upgrading the radio is the way to go. Some custom ROMs also require a certain radio or higher.
If you are having problems upgrading, then you might not have your phone unlocked. You need to first update your SPL to have an unlocked phone, and then you can start upgrading custom stuff.
Some times when the radio wont upgrade by sd card it is necessary to relock to 2.07 then unlock again with 2.47.
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
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857
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.
Anyone encountered this error before? It gets to 8% and then phone reboots and I get this on my PC screen. It says Error [328] (see attached image)
I am using Radio 3.37.75 (verizon), and my bootloader shows 2.40 Olipro
Any ideas?
Try this RUU it is version 3.16.4.3.
Yes, thats the version that I am using. I think... when I run it, it says 3.16.4.3 in the window title bar. (see screen shot)
EDIT: I tried it anyways, and I got the same thing. Do I have the right bootloader? Would a different one help?
what are you trying to flash
trying to flash my verizon xv6800 (which has an old dcd rom on it, radio 3.27 i think) to the new radio: 3.37.75.
Then i will flash with a newer dcd or ryan mogul rom.

Just follow my post here and only use the files and Radios that I provide. Make sure you read a few times so you understand, and dont skip anything. Most important based on what I have read in this thread. Use only the radios I provide on my share site and take your time paying close attention.

Thanks, I'll do it exactly like that. I will keep you posted. I have to get a new micro SD card, I only have an SDHC 8 GB
The radio can be updated via usb. I do it all the time. But it does hard reset the phone in the process.
I would try a newer radio like 3.42.40. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRadioROMs
I got my radio from there and have no problems updating the radio with ruu.
I followed the directions exactly like in Ryan's post mentioned above, (used USB instead of SD card), and it works!
Fully functional. I used Radio 3.42.02 (somewhere I saw that it was recommended over the others, went with it to be safe). Then Flashed Ryan Mogul Rom 2.2 Heavy.
Thanks everyone!

i have spl olipro-2.40, rom dcd 3.2.6 and want to upgrade radio to 3.42.50 using usb. should i downgrade spl to 1.20 before upgrade the radio? or i stick with current config and update the radio using RUU?
Still cant load radio
Obtained 6800 originally Alltel, not sure which radio, Had Olipro 2.40 installed, would hang on Alltel splash screen.
Could not get any RUU loads to complete (from USB or SD card), usually would fail around 50%.
Eventually was able to get RyanMogul 3.1 Cricket (lite) to load, but shows no radio and eventually screen goes blank. Never goes into active Sync mode.
We force boot loader mode and try and load several radios including Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.50.Alltel.rar, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.35.04,
but keep Getting error 328 from RUU when I try to load a radio..
tried RyanMoguls "Here is a fix for GPS for all you VX6800 users that gps will not function!!", but cant run relocker because no active sync connection.
Stock Verizon ROM RUU also gets error 328.
Any ideas.
