Question about flashing from SD card. - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Okay I tried this once and believe I may have done it in the wrong order. I flashed the newest radio from dcd's list .50? before flashing the rom. was that wrong?
I ended up not being able to boot past the verizon splash screen.
also if I flash the rom first will it boot the os just with out a functioning radio? that way I can then just rename the radio image on my sd card from the phone and flash again?.

....Read the Titan Wiki.
....also before posting a new thread read existing threads where others may be EXACTLY where you are and stated the resolution -- here's a direct link to a only 9 hour old first page thread entitled 'Titan Upgrade help... ' that did just that.
...Also take to heart of a pertinent point from a leading forum sticky thread, 'NEED HELP?? LOOKING FOR GUIDES?? NEW?? Read the XDA-Wiki for the Titan before posting:'
Rather than rushing to post a new thread and then wait....you may solve problems more quickly by reading our recorded solutions to common issues, links to required files, and have guides to follow that have been compiled and edited by many of us.

I've looked through these links and not come across any that answer my question.
Can I flash everything from my phone without ever using activesync or a pc. what I don't know is if I can flash the rom then the radio all from my phone.

If you use 2.47 bootloader, which runs from the phone, then the rom and radio can be both flashed from the SD card. Then theoretically you can flash all 3 from the phone without needing activesync.
That said, if you are trying to flash back to stock, then the answer is no, because as far as I know there isn't a way to flash back the stock bootloaded without activesync.

how would it be done? I know to make sure the radio image is named titaimg.nbh
but does the roms image also need to be named that?

Yes they do.

You can flash back to stock from the card using Nuespl re-locker 2.07....

Do you have the correct bootloader installed?

Radio cannot be flashed, always stops at 0%

I was handed what looked like a brand new I-MATE JasJam, except I was told that it was crashing a lot and could not make phone calls.
After reading lots of different posts on this site I have determined that the Radio's firmware is corrupt. There is "NO GSM" on bootup and no IMEI being listed.
I have been trying the last few days to flash the radio with a new version of firmware but have yet to get past 0%. I have had success flashing the device with Black 3.5 but the radio is still not flashing.
I have simunlocked and SuperCID the phone with success and I have tred USB Monitoring when I attempted to flash the radio device and have seen "AUX_process-FAIL..".
Before I keep trying with alternative ways of programming the RADIO is there anything I can do to determine that the RADIO is physically installed and electronically responsive. My concern is that perhaps the radio's hardware is broken and no amount of flashing attempts will ever bring it back.
Currently
IPL - 1.01
SPL-1.40.Olipro (I can install 2.10 if required..)
CID=SuperCID (Level 0)
Can Boot to OS ? Yes
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi man,
welcome to club!we have same problem and haven't found the escape way yet.you can see it here( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338413) and share your experiences.I hope we can find the solution.
How say Hamed, welcome to the club...But first look instructions on the wiki. For me and Hamed, there is no solution for now. Mean on the software way, to solve problem.
Hi
Used to happenb to me. I always flash bu sd card way. Just put the radio image on sd card in nbh format. Rename it to HERMIMG and go into bootloader. It will put the radio on. Alayas fails for me when i use the customruu
your radio bootloader is dead, you're basically screwed.
Thanks, thats all I wanted to know.
Appreciate your time.
Its not dead. Use the sd card method. My phone is back from the dead !

then quite clearly... your radio bootloader wasn't screwed.
Sorry I think you misunderstood. All im saying is that mine used to stop at 0% Every single time using windows to flash. I started using the sd card and it would freeze as well but kept trying and trying and eventually it would start to flash. Usually on sd card method it would freeze around 12% but then eventually go on and update success.. Try the sd card way and it may work. Remember I had the same problem , no gsm , no imei etc

Indie, can you please tell us which rom you try to flash via sd card? Are you use nbh tool v101 to extract shipped rom, only radio part on sd card, or you boot completely rom t-mobile wm 6 (which version???)? Please give to us details.

I would flash the htc official wm6 rom, or get any of the extracted radio roms from the wiki. Now i have the official tmobile wm6 rom uk rom somewhere on this site. I just put the radio or whole rom in nbh format onto sd card and rename it to HERMIMG. then go into bootloader and it will do the rest itself. The exe files from the official tmobile rom get extracted to your temp folder and creates the nbh format. Just copy it from there
Remember if it freezes , keep trying. I once had to try 10 times before it did my radio. i would wait 10 mins at a time for gsm. if it doesnt move by then its froze. reset and try again

I think that my radio bootloader is dead, because when I try in mtty rtask a and then rversion I get nothing in USB monitor. Is my radio bootloader dead, and is there now a soluiotn for recovering radio bootloader?
Well based on what others are saying in this thread; yes, you flash the radio or rom via SD Card instead of activesync, and you do so by going into bootloader manually...read the thread.
I tried that, but its the same. It stops on 0%. I saw that others that had this problem had a functional radio bootloader (0107 or 0108). Mine is corrupt!

Back to stock using just memory card?

I am running:
SPL-2.40.Olipro
3.35 radio
dcd 3.0.1 rom
I have the verizon xv6800.
I have lost connectivity between PC to phone via USB. Verizon is sending me a replacement.
Is there a way to get it back to stock using a micro SD card (bootloader, radio, rom)?
If not I plan on sending "as is" once I get me replacement--don't really want to do this.
Thanks in advance

Have you simply lost connectivity to Activesync? Have you tried another PC? Do you not hear the 'add new hardware' chime when connecting your device? Can you boot into the OS? Can you not flash your phone via the SDcard method to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM? Have you failed in attempting the Wiki Downgrading instructions -- particularly using the Titan relocker?

Here is the answer:
1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash (use winrar) from the exe or zip and put it on the microsd card, rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
3. Put the MicroSD card in your phone reboot to the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
-Sayajin
I think if he uses the sd card method above he will have problems. my understanding is that the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40. What he really needs to find out is if it is possible to relock without his USB port functioning. then the sd card method will work to flash a stock rom.
on a related question to the one asked by the OP, can a whole ROM be flashed using an SD card, including the radio? I think I read in the past that flashing radio firmware via SD was very difficult and troublesome...
Like maccaberry mentions, will the stock rom "freak out with olipro 2.40?" Is is possible to flash stock rom and relock from micro SD card?
I have tried several USB cables/PCs and it is just not activesync--troubleshooted with Verizon for 2 hours, the problem appears to be hardware related.
After creating this thread I did read up a bit on the wiki, and was going to try using instructions there, but the part about "the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40" has me a bit hesitant to flash stock. If I don't get a solution to update bootloader from micro SD, once I get my replacement and activate it I might try flashing to stock even with olipro 2.40--I am sending it back so if it does get messed up I just have to hope verizon does not come back knocking on my door.

You still haven't stated whether or not you hear a chime and/or see a change in the hardware devices list on your PC when your OS is loaded on your phone if you and you plug it into your PC.

Via the SDcard method, try to flash your device to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM. So that you don't need to be concerned over radio incompatbilities (if you do have the correct 3.35 radio installed for your DCD 3.0.1 ROM) you can try to reflash again with a build from DCD or a ROM with my kitchen. Or you can try one of the older OS/3.16 radio ROMs which also use 2.40. Each of the OS and radio ROMs can be flashed from the SDcard.
I'm sorry, but I wasn't clear in my first post that you do need an active USB connection to change the bootloader and that is why I asked if you could boot into the OS, heard your PC chiming on new hardware connected, or had attempted to reflash your phone to another ROM (or same ROM again) via the SDcard. Also, have you tried a hard reset on your phone?
The issue may be hardware but more than likely it is a software problem on your device or PC.

Yes, any ROM portion should be able to be flashed via that method. On multiple times I have flashed a separate radio ROM without issue.

Keystone thanks for you help...I did do the Device manager check...nothing. Several hard resets were done (memory card in/memory card out). I will try you suggestion about trying a different ROM (or same ROM again) that is made for 2.40. My radio is 3.35.04.
Is it a true statement that the Verizon stock rom/radio will NOT work with 2.40?--I could try this but like I said before I am a little nervous since I know I can't fail over to using USB to PC to help my situation.
You need to flash via the SD card as they say. Put whatever version ROM that goes along with your current radio version. Then once you get it up and running you should be able to connect via activesync and run Titan Relocker to get the 1.30 SPL loaded and 2.40 removed. Then you have a choice to leave it stuck there and return it like I done with one once, or you can flash the stock ROM and radio. There is a chance you can do that from the SD aswell incase your pc fails to pick it up again while in bootloader mode. You'll have to get someone elses input on if that part will work or not.
By the way, the stock ROM isn't your real worry. It's the 2.40 bootloader that will get everyones attention. So you really need to go ahead and properly flash and hope activesync will connect.

You CANNOT flash a stock (verizon signed) rom with 2.40 period. You must relock the phone back to the stock bootloader, and only then can you flash the verizon signed roms.
Key,
You seem to be the expert with SD flashing. Maybe you know a mehtod he can use to get the bootloader on without USB. What I fear is that his USB hardware is fried. In that case, even a flash of a olipro 2.40 compatible rom is still leave him stuck where getting back to stock is concerned. I notice that the bootloader uses a similar software as the roms for loading onto the device. Is is possible to get a bootloader loaded via sd card. I have a feeling it is not possible because the olipro's all use a two step process.. 1st they load a soft (temporary) SPL and then 2nd they load the hard SPL. I have read elsewhere (by ImCoKeMan) that you should not try to run the unlocker via RUU so I assume SD flash version would also not work.
Hens,
If Key cant help us here you might want to pm ImCoKeMan over at ppcgeeks and ask him if the relocker can be loaded via SD card.
Do you have insurance? The device might have an accident with a drop from a 3 storey building that will erase the bootloader altogether..
Finally, you could donate the device to Madman34. He is looking for bricked phones for JTAG experimentation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2019937#post2019937
I was looking into that before I posted my other reply. The one concerning thing about that is when I decompile the titanrelocker.exe file there was a relocker.nb and a 1.30 spl nbh file. I'm pretty sure both are needed, then again I could be way off base. The cool thing would be to get that relocker.exe to run on our mobile device. If that would work it would be easy to set up the SD card to autorun it once WM booted up.
Three story drop huh.... I was thinking Popcorn bout 10 seconds and
how long should this method take mine has been loading for 20min

Relocking without USB

My wife's usb port is dead. I charge the battery in the cradle but I can not get any data connection with the phone. It is the alltel ppc-6800 flashed to dcd's 2.3.1 and I really need to get it back to stock so I can get it exchanged. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
PS- I did a search and links would great if you know of a relavent post.
What bootloader do you have? 1.20 or 2.40? I don't think you can relock without it without USB. You flash to stock rom via Micro SD Card and relock via USB. That is how I did my VZW.
I believe it is using 2.40. It had been Feb since I tried to take one back to stock and things were a little different then. So I just load the stock rom on the card and reboot to flash it? Or do I need to do the radio then the Rom?
Anyone know if no2chem's relocker only works with his own bootloader? As far as I'm aware it'll work with any unlocked bootloader and it runs right from SD card.
If you are on 2.40, yes you can go back to flash however... Once the phone goes to sleep you can not tun it back on without resetting.
Can anyone post a link to the current rom that I can flash from the card. All I can find is the one that requires me to use activesync.
Thanks for the help everyone

nueSPL doesn't flash to nonGPS ROMs right? Correct me if I am wrong but this is a no go for Verizon and others. You would need relocker 1.06 to reload nonGPS stock ROM and therefore need activesync.
I don't believe you can use Bluetooth or IR, you will need USB to be working to install relocker SPL. Again, let me know if there is another way and I will start using it.
Going off this based on conversation in PPC Geeks forum and here involving no2chem.
You can flash back to Stock with Olipro 2.40 on it but if it goes into sleep mode you can not wake it back up. so you would need to uncheck the timer that allows it to sleep. Then exchange the phone hope VZW doesn't notice it. If you have the insurnace it might be worth the $50 to accidentally make it take a swim.

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

Okay what i have done now is loaded my own personal ROM and then added 3.42.02 Radio to it. The only problem with that is that it keeps restarting and restarting its really weird. Is there any way that i can fix that?
Thank you

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

Okay I solved that problem but now when I click on the settings option on the menu my phone freezes. What can be the cause of that? Did I cook the ROM wrong?
Thanks

Usually that means you have the wrong build of MSVC installed use build 19209...

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?
Thanks

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.

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.
x51 said:
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.

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....

[Q] Reverting to factory default consultation needed pls?

Due to display flickering issue which is worse and worse from day to day. I decided to restore stock rom for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV to make a complain.
My device is Security Unlocked, with different Radio and ROM so i would like to know if my steps for reverting is ok. I do not want to make my device bricked!!
I have EXE file with ROM from T-Mobile www which includes all like SPL, RADIO, ROM etc.
So my conclusion what i have read is that i have to:
1) restore stock Radio
2) remove security lock
3) remove Hard-SPL
4) flash stock ROM from EXE file i have already downloaded. It will overwrite 1.90 SPL to 1.69 which was my default and overwrite ROM too.
Can anyone experienced with this stuff tell me if i am right? thank a lot.
With the steps you have listed you will be good to go. Just follow your steps and you are good.

Noo i think this is wrong. Flash the stock rom first, then the stock radio, and lastly the stock SPL.....

I am not a noob i have read this many times, so i know what is the "official" routine. But this (official) routine was, i think made, for people who had no choice (as me with original exe) and they had to dump their ROM first, and than reconstruct part by part. And because the dumped ROM will never be CID safe, they had this tutorial 1. Radio, 2. OS, 3. SPL and it rally does make sense for me.
But i am lucky, because my operator (T-Mobile) shipped the device with EXE, which contains all the stuff (Radio, SPL, OS, RUU) and it is directly for my CID. So that is why i think my tutorial in the first post will work. And i think it should work though if i only remove Security unlock and Hard-SPL. Because it will overwrite all partitions in device even restored Radio, OS etc.
So am i right ?
your right and to save you step dont worry bout radio removal since its in the stock rom pack like u said just load the 1.90 for warrenty in the hard spl thread and relock your phone as an extra precation(some carriers care some dont) the run the exe and ure golden
ps. PimBackup is your friend (just in case u forgot)

Dear not a noob,
You asked a question, and you were given the "official" routine. If you knew the "official" routine, and you were going to do it your way anyway, it kinda makes your question unnecessary. I remind you that you are not the only person who reads these forums. In fact more than a hundred have read this thread. Some of these people "noobs" or not may want to know the "official" routine.
I personally don't care what you do or where you put your phone. But if anyone reading this thread follows the official routine they will not have any problems.
I understand why people don't like answering questions in these forums. No good deed etc etc......

Dear Ray,
you did not understand my question. That is all that i can say about it. I know about official routine to restoring stock defaults, but i was asking if my routine could lead me to same result. Because as from what i have learned in this forum this routine should lead me to the same result more easier way because i have RUU with stock ROM direct for my CID.
Your way i have to first extract nbh image from exe. Second i have to extract each nb from nbh. Third i have to make nbh from each nb, radio is not necessary, because it is already here. And for fourth my SPL is 1.69.0000 which is different from SPL contained in the Hard-SPL removing pack and it does not work for me just to replace the SPLs. And until now i did not find out why. Someone few months ago told me that i can use the SPL from Hard-SPL removing pack (1.90.0000 i think) and then overwrite it with my stock ROM package, which will restore my stock SPL and Radio, OS again as well. So official routine works for those who had to dump their ROM to backup their stock ROM, those who were not as lucky as me to have stock ROM with RUU for their CID. This procedure, i personaly think is OK, is not covered here on the forum, and that is why i was aking for blessing from someone more involved in this problmes...is it ok now?
PS: anything i can flash after removing Security Lock and Hard-SPL is my stock ROM and that is what i have. So it should work if there are not some any other things which i have missed somewhere!
Tom
bah dont worry bout them crackheads say i can speak from experience that your way work since thats exactly what i did last week only att exe pack and it did overite the 1.90 stock spl,changed to 1.95 in my case,like u say along with the radio and os. only diferance is i never security unlocked my phone sincei was happy with the raphel radios . now im happy with my new(well refurblished ) fuze.
p.s. i had defective screen too incase you were wondering
Everybody play nice
Ok, that being said, since you have the "official" exe from your Carrier, all you really have to do is:
Run the .exe from your Carrier - this will replace the stock Radio, ROM, and boot splash.
Install the warranty stock SPL 1.90 from the Hard-SPL thread (using the Hard-SPL RUU, of course).
Re-run the .exe from your Carrier, which will overwrite the 1.90 SPL with the stock version.
Other methods will likely work too, but IMHO, that's the easiest .

Are you sure that running EXE for the first time, before removing Hard-SPL, will not corupt the device ?

Positive. That's actually how I used to "flash to stock" in between custom ROM flashes.
