got a new phone from verizon and have been trying to upgrade it.
I first loaded the new MR1 so I could make sure I had the latest radio.
Then I installed the new Unlocker (2.7).
Then I tried to run DCD 3.2.6. It wouldn't go past 0% then went to the Recovery Mode.
Then I tried PPCGeek kitchen, same result.
I read that I need to go back to a NON GPS ROM.
I just tried dcd 1.6.7: SAME RESULT.
So...now what do I do?
Have you checked the Wiki?
Yes, I looked at the wiki...I read through the whole FAQ and the troubleshooting guide.
am I missing something? can you give me a clue?
try flashing from sd.

So I did the HardSPL when I redid the phone a couple of months ago and lately it hasn't been getting service and just stopped altogether. So I looked to see what radio version I had and it said none.
So I proceeded to update the radio but I did not do the HARDSPL again as I already did it before. Well as I went through the whole process it said there was an error and told me to remove the batter. I did all this and now it won't boot up its just at the ROM screen or whatever with the three different colors.
How do I get it to boot up so I can get it to activesync and reimage it? I'm stuck and it just won't boot so I don't know what to do. Thanks
Oh and I've tried all the steps in getting by the bootloader by disabling usb and all that and it still doesn't work
I had the exact same problem yesterday ... connect it to your USB cable, and flash it with a STANDARD ROM, ie one downloaded from your phone's provider's site.
ie. We get our TyTNs through a local HTC distributor called Leaf Wireless. I downloaded the AKU3 rom from their site, and ran it. Reflashed my TyTN to their original AKU3 ROM, and after that I could reflash with whatever I wanted to
How do I reflash if I can't get it to activsync with mycomputer or don't you need to with a standard rom flash?
So I tried to do it with an original ROM and it gets to 12% done and fails everytime. How do I get this to boot back up normally?
If you go to the wiki it tells you how to do a rom upgrade off an SD card. I would try that route and re flash a ROM and radio that you know works, then take it from there.
Is all in the wiki.
Good luck.

Can you post a link to that wiki? I couldn't find the one you were referring to. Thanks
I have had the same issue and even though I still have gotten it to somewhat work I'm almost sure something is wrong and I will have to send it in for a warranty repair. Here are the steps I followed using the official 8525 rom download. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
After that Windows worked fine but still no radio (no gsm error). I downloaded the new radio only file off of the forums which didn't seem to work. I took my phone into the att wireless store and the lady reset my sim, somehow the radio started showing up and working.
I literally spent all day on this yesterday and it is hell. If you have any questions let me know I can guide you through it.
Check your pm's

Not sure how you couldn't find it. Anyway here you go>> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
Ok, I'll admit... I'm a newb and even the wiki is somewhat confusing. I've flashed my XV6800 before using this guide:
http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/
And it's been working well with the GPS.
But I would like to try tethering and so I want to upgrade to the latest DCD but I am confused as to the Radio/Etc.
Can anyone point me to the right direction on what Radios, etc. I need.
The end result is, I want to do both GPS and Tethering and still connect to Verizon.
Thanks in advance!

If you currently have GPS running.... what Radio do you have?
If you want the latest and greatest read this "Compatibility List"
Compatibility List
More than likely... you'll just need to update using DCD's rom. No radio needed.
I have Radio 3.27.00, which is incompatible. So I will need to upgrade the radio too but I don't see 3.35.00 or better for download.

Go to the wiki page.... it has links for them... here's the wiki...
Titan Recent
Here's the 3.42.30 radio...
3.42.30
Thanks for the link to the Radio.
So can anyone help me with the order of the loading... this is what I did last time and it worked like a charm.
* Open Hard-SPL-240-MFG.exe. It will extract files into C:\ttn240mfg, and then launch an unlocker. Follow the instructions on screen.
* Once it has been completed, launch the device’s software update. Follow the instructions on screen for the updater.
* Following the updater’s final instructions, power cycle the device as instructed (holding power and reset buttons simultaneously). The device will likely freeze at startup on your carrier’s logo. This is normal.
* When the device does freeze, hold power, camera, and reset buttons. This will send the device into what is known as Bootloader Mode.
* Connect the Titan back to your computer. Run the baseband radio firmware update, similar to the instructions above.
* When finished, power cycle again as instructed, holding power and reset buttons to complete the update.
But now I have the DCD ROM, the Radio and the extra Verizon Cab. What order do I do them in? The Wiki really doesn't go into the order like that.
Still looking for a little guidance here.

1) Radio.
2) ROM.
3) Verizon Cab
Thanks for the reply. One more question before I bite the bullet and give this a try. The last radio I did was an EXE file and it loaded it into my machine.
It looks like the 3.42 radio I downloaded is a nbh file. It appears from the wiki that I need ROMUpdateUtility.exe to load it. Is this correct, and if so, where can I find it. I see many references to it... but no working links. The wiki even insinuates that it should be in the ROM folder... but I looked for it in all the DCD kitchen rom folders but couldn't find it.
Thanks!

Actually... if you have 2.4 bootloader... you can copy that TITAIMG.nbh file onto a formatted SD card and start the bootloader. It will load it then. if you use ROMUpdateUtility.exe... I believe you have to name it RUU_signed.nbh and put it into the same folder as that exe.
Unfortunately, I don't have a non-HD card to throw it on and I heard there were problems with the SHDC cards.
Do you have a working link for the ROM Update utility? I've tried several links on xda, but none of them seem to be working.
Thanks!

Download DCD's Kitchen. The utility is in the RUU folder once you extract the kitchen.
When I tried to flash the ROM, it says this utility may not be used with my phone.
Weird. Any suggestions?
I am relocking my phone from DCD 3.2.6 because I need to have Sprint repair a broken Talk, End and Voice button, in addition to a broken SD card reader. Yeah, my phone is eff'd.
Ran into problems when reflashing the stock Sprint ROM. I was reading the wiki and used the RUU that came with the stock 3.56 ROM RAR file. Unfortunately, it kept giving me an "incorrect image" error. Finally, I figured out that I had to use the specific RUU that I need to download by itself, which the wiki didn't have a link to on that particular stock ROM page (found the RUU file on the WM6.1 wiki page) and actually copy the stock xxxxxxxxx.nbh file into that RUU directory.
During the reflashing, it was going good until I opened and closed some folders on my laptop and it made the reflashing hang at 59%. Apparently, it actually is picky about NOT touching your computer during the reflashing process. I had to restart the reflashing process and it worked the second time. Whew!
I attempted to update my ppc after attempting to fix mms, and everything went wrong. I started this thread yesterday on ppcgeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51416 & then http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51461
I tried to update to vetvitos black pill rom, not realizing it was a gps rom, and now when I start my phone, it has a PPCGeeks and PPCKitchen splash screen. At the bottom it says "No Radio"
I have an Alltel 6800 flashed to cricket. I have been looking for the answer for almost 24 hours straight now, and have not found one.
From what I've been reading, this is what I think ive learned:
The only way to get these roms working is with the Olipro 2.4 SPL on my phone, but the only way to get the Hard SPL on my phone is through activesync, which can't be done if i can't get into my phone. I don't think my phone is bricked, but I don't know where to go from here.
I think I need to reflash the phone to the stock rom (i think its 1.4) but I can't find it anywhere.
Can someone please help me?
just reflash with any stock one ... go to htc's site and you can download them there... the new one stock ones for alltel have GPS enabled on the radio too ... just dont let the customizations run when flashing to stock then flash to the rom of ur choice
I'm a noob to the Titan. I've flashed a Blueangel, several of them actually; a Wizard, a Hermes, and an Apache. I've used BuildOs and built my own rom for the last one. I have read the Titan wiki and searched Google, but I can't get a custom rom to boot to save my neck.
It is an XV6800, Verizon.
I did flash Hard-SPL, currently Olipro 2.40. That worked, but everything after that...nada.
I upgraded the radio to 3.x...I forget the exact version. I didn't try to reboot because I had the old rom. Then I flashed a custom rom with Buildos, GPS enabled. The flash went nicely, but I couldn't boot past the splash pages.
So I went back to stock.
I left the radio at 1.3x and flashed a NON-GPS rom. I know that you can't do a GPS custom rom with a non-gps radio. Same thing...splash page and then frozen like the ice age.
So I went back to stock, the old one. I don't necessarily mind flashing stock, because I always did that between custom flashes with the other phones.
Figuring that I must be some kind of Titan idiot, I downloaded the MR1 update from Startech and flashed that. It went fine. The phone works. Life is good. It's just that I'm really in love with flashing...roms that is.
Is it the bootloader version? Do I need a particular version of bootloader depending on GPS, non-GPS? I've read the tutorial on ppckitchen.org and I thought I followed it to the letter.
Thank you. The forums here have taught me so much. All the creators and cooks out there are awe-inspiring.
