I just obtained a new VZW VX6800. I am trying to install dcd 3.2.6 on it. I followed the first step and put nueSPL 2.47 on it. I noticed before installed dcd 3.2.6 on it that I has the horrible problem that when the screen turns off and I try to turn it back on by pressing the power button, it won't wake up. Anyone know if I can fix this or if it will be fixed by installed dcd's ROM? Thanks!
ROM: 2.09.605.8
Radio: 1.30.60
This is a common problem when you install 2.47 and haven't flashed the radio or rom yet. Just go ahead and finish flashing the phone and it will work fine.

Thanks! After reading your post, I flashed to dcd's ROM and the problem did go away.
ok i need help with this too. i went through with the bootloader. then i updated the radio but the phone wont go to windows mobile anymore. it states the radio is 3.42.50 and all the other stuff but wont go anywhere after that. any help? thanks
You have to flash the rom now, they all require one another to run. I would recommend flashing DCD's rom for now and using the correct carrier cab, once these 2 are installed then the phone should work.
Without a carrier cab, your data may not work. Depends on your carrier.
But to flash the rom, hold power and camera and press reset. This puts it in Bootloader mode and will allow you to flash the rom from Windows.

So I was in the middle of upgrading to the "Official Sprint Rom" using 1.2Olipro in order to jump on the DCD 3.0.1 bandwagon. I guess this was a bad idea because the phone rebooted at 11% and now I'm back to the bootloader. The problem is, I don't know what to do. I don't want to make things worse so for now I just left it in the bootloader.
Prior to attempting the flash I was running
DCD 2.0.0 /w Radio 3.27 (2.4Olipro).
Just before I flashed the Sprint rom I flashed the 1.2 bootloader.
I'm stuck, what do I do now?

You didnt need to install olipro 1.20. Install olipro 2.40 again and you will get your device bootable again.
You may find that you have fried your radio. when the device reboots after the olipro 2.40 is back on you can check the message on the first screen to see if the radio is there or not. If there is no radio just reflash sprint 3.35. If the radio is there the device will reboot into your old configuration.
Then just flash the sprint offical 3.35 and this will give you then new radio. Then flash dcd 3.x.x
The instructions are right in the first few posts of the 3.0.1 thread.
I can't install 2.4 because it requires an activesync connection. The phone is currently in bootloader so no activesync. Should I reboot the phone? I don't want to make a bad situation worse.
Tom
you dont need active sync, put in bootloader and plug it into the computer and run the bootloader upgrade...should work
You might have to flash a radio and rom via sd card method. The radio and roms will have to be compatible with olipro 1.20 otherwise it will continually reboot once it is all flashed.
I am sure there is a method to get you back to olipro 2.40 without activesync so you might search a bit first. But if you cant find out how, then the sd method above will at least get you back working.
Unfortunately dropping back to a non gps radio (compatible with olipro 1.20) will probably hose your MSID etc so I hope you wrote them down.
Anyone more knowledgeable than me might comment further but do a bit of searching in the meantime.

I have 2 .exe's:
Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
when I run either:
*
* P4000/PPC6800/xv6800/Titan/Mogul UnLocker utility
*
* Total process may take about 5-10 minutes depends on CPU speed.
*
Connect your device via activesync before continuing.
Press any key to continue . . .
Initializing
When you reboot, do you get a screen telling you the bootloader, radio and rom versions?
To exit bootloader to check, you can use ImCoKeMaNs exit bootloader program.
SOLVED!
I was able to flash Sprint v2.09 ROM. After the phone rebooted and the Calibration screen came up I was able to upgrade to Olipro 2.4. Right after that I ran the 3.35 Sprint update which went through. As soon as Windows was back at the calibration screen, I went back into 2.4 bootloader and ran the DCD upgrade. Up 100% and incoming calls work so it looks like the MSID was preserved.

Hey all,
Been trying just about everything to help a buddy out, but I've been failing repeatedly.
He got a brand new phone yesterday and found the XDA Titan Wiki to install the GPS enabled ROMs. He loaded SPL 2.4, then installed DCD 3.2.0. It got stuck at the Verizon screen when it restarted...then he apparently downloaded the Radio 3.42.30 to try and install that to get out of it (maybe thinking the Radio needed to be installed for it to get through). Now he's stuck at the White Verizon screen, and it says "No Radio".
Sounds like from when I read the Wiki he was supposed to install an intermediary Rom before jumping all the way to 3.2.0.
I've suggested using the Olipro SPL 1.2 unlocker, the Titan Relocker, several different ROM's and am at a loss as to how to fix it. He's still stuck at the Verizon screen displaying "No Radio."
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I went from stock to 3.2.0 / Radio 3.42.02.. no problems.
I have not loaded 2.42.30 (I prefer to use the radio version released by HTC for this device.. 3.42.30 was released for another device and ported.. although it seems to work for everyone.)
I HAVE read that for radio 3.42.30 you need SPL 1.20 for USB Flashing.
gc14 said:
Yeah 1.20 is needed to flash these radios via USB. Just need to put 2.40 back when you're done.

Based on that.. I assume SD flashing is ok with 2.40.

Yes! This is well documented.. a common issue.
If you flash the Rom without a compatible radio.. you will get stuck on the verizon screen... I suggest flashing the ROM AFTER the radio.. since you flashed the Rom already... when you get the radio working, Reflash the ROM.
Did you flash the radio via SD Card or USB?
Did it show a progress bar while flashing?
Let us know how your attempting to flash the Radio (USB or SD) With specific steps (held buttons X, Y, and Z.. saw this message, pressed this key.. saw this on the screen) .. and someone will let you know what you might be doing wrong.
Also.. dont forget to run the carrier cab when your done.. This is worth mentioning since it's the most common issue once the device boots and you cant program the phone, or make data / voice connections.

Can you get to the bootloader by holding down camera power and pushing the reset button? If so, you can flash the radio with the SD method found in the wiki. just put the radio on the sd card in the proper format and enter bootloader and it should correct your problem.
Can I suggest something to try? (assuming you have 6800)
1. Get the sprint release. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402887
2. in bootloader, load the sprint release by usb method. when it gets to having you touch the screen, soft reset.
3. In bootloader, load the dcd 3.2.0 rom (or any other rom).
4. Hard reset.
This should give you 3.2.0 rom and 3.42.02 radio.
Responses
Hey guys,
Thanks for the responses and suggestions.
1) At the moment he doesn't have an SD card aside from the SDHC, so he couldn't do that until he purchases one. Good idea though if nothing else works
2) When pressing the camera/power/reset he's in the SPL 2.4 bootloader screen, he's going to try your suggestion of downloading Sprints and upgrading.
3) I'll ask him procedurally what else he has tried, what error he gets for recording. No doubt you were correct about uploading the Radio before the ROM
I've actually flashed my phone exactly the same way he has so that I can try to experience the same problems, and try to figure it out myself.
Bingo
Hey,
The Sprint ROM .exe was the answer. Very smart, thanks again for helping us both out. Was getting a little nervous for about 2 minutes.

uhh 2.07 is a relocker SPL
I think you have to downgrade to a stock firmware/SPL, then do the process properly.
Use SPL 2.40 or 2.47 before trying to flash on a GPS rom.

I would say the same. I would go ahead and unlock OliPro 2.4 (never tried 2.47) then flash Telus rom. After doing so you should be fine.

Sorry, I read his post wrong. HEre is what I would do:
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.
3. Flash your Stock ROM back.
4. Hard Reset.
In my experience you do not have to go back to a stock ROM to flash a new carrier ROM as long as you have OliPro.
Let me ask you this: What exact steps did you take when you flashed Telus ROM image?
I was on the same setup you were, DCD 3.2.5 with Radio .50 and OliPro 2.40. I simply flashed the Telus image and all was well for me. Hell it was better than all well. This is the best ROM I have ever used. PERIOD. No, its not pretty but damn, its fast as anything I have used and the GPS is insane!
BTW: Im a Verizon user. Anyone know how to make the phone not say "Telus" when I go to the connection manager?

Thats interesting. I have hosed so many XV6800's and used OliPro and a stock GPS sprint ROM to get them back (Thanks alot for nothing Verizon!).
IM assuming you are still on the tricolor screen? Take out battery and place back in. Then try again. Dont wait long. Someonelse has discoverd the phone can only be connected for so long before it "drops" connection with the windows machine. Someone else's therory but I can certainly second it.
What SPL were you using with DCD 3.x before upgrading?

before flashing to new telus wm6.1 rom, i had olipro 2.40 with .30 radio and dcd3.2.5 kitchen...i have tried upgrading to radio .50 with no success. but failing to update radio didn't affect anything to my phone. tried your suggestion by romoving battery and still telling me that device not connected.

Hmmm, maybe try a different USB port at this time. Also, try this...
Before you connect your device open device manager in Windows. Look for M/S USB sync to appear after you connect. What OS are you using? This is what it will look like in Vista.
In XP I beleive it will show up under USB at the very bottom of Device Manager.
Does the phone show up at all?
Flash a stock pre-gps rom first.....then go ahead and upgrade the hard spl to 2.4 or 2.47.....then flash away with whatever you want....
You cannot flash Hardspl to Hardspl...they have overwrite protection not signed by HTC....

Hey All,
i've been doing alot of reading here on xda and have played with and updated several WM devices. didnt want to start a thread but it was my last resort for help.
I've got an HTC 6800 - TITA100 , from Bell mobility. i'd like to upgrade it to DCD's most recent ROM. here's what i've been able to do:
-installed SPL 2.47 bootloader successfully.
-grabbed the 'RUU_signed.nbh' from DCD's 3.2.5 ROM & renamed it to TITAIMG.nbh, placed on properly formatted sd card.
-sent the phone into bootloader (power,camera,reset buttons), it sees the img on the card, press the button to install, and it installs successfully.
this is where the problem comes up. after installation, i reboot the phone, goes to the first splash screen which still shows the Bell logo, and at the bottom i notice D: 3.2.5 , then it goes to a bell splash screen with no other writing, and just sits there.. doesnt get past this splash screen.
what i can do at this point is put the phone back into bootloader, and install the one of the htc/bell ROMs, reboot, and get into the OS without any problem.
is there some steps i'm missing? besides installing the SPL 2.xx bootloader, should something else happen before putting the cooked ROM ?
any help is appreciated !! thanks
What radio are you using?
i downloaded this radio to use: 3.42.50
should the radio be installed before trying to install DCDs OS? i may have tried that but dont remember 100%.
to get it functioning again (OS) i use the bell/HTC official rom, which i notice before the bootloader installs it, it shows that it will update bootloader, 2 splashscreens, radio, OS, etc...
incredible.. had tried so many things. flashed the radio, then tried flashing DCD and it boots fine now.. thought i had tried that already..

Yes. It's always good to load the Radio first. I currently cooked my own NBH file that includes the splash screens, 3.42.50 radio, and DCD 3.2.5 rom. That way I can do it all in one easy flash.

Bump!
I'm having the same issue. I'm with Bell Mobility.
I updated the bootloader with nueSPL Titan 2.47 pack and successfully installed the radio.
Then the device remains stuck on the blue bell loading screen. I've tried radio versions 3.35.04, 3.42.40 and 3.42.50.
I'm totally stumped on how to resolve this. Where do I find the RUU_signed.nbh?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
Press and hold Power and Camera and then press the reset button.
This puts it in Bootloader mode, then run the DCD's rom or Kitchen, when the Rom Update Utility starts, it will detect your phone and flash the rom.
Once the flash is finished, the phone should boot normal, and you can flash any other custom rom to the phone. It's just important to do the first 3 flashes correctly, then afterwards the rest is easy.

Hi I'm looking for some help. I tried upgrading my XV6800 to the windows 6.5 rom but I think I might of messed up. I tried to update my radio first but ran in to issues.
I used Oilpro 1.20 to try and tried to update the radio but along the way messed up while trying an older rom and I'm currently at a Verizon screen with the message "NO RADIO" at the bottom. I'm assuming the radio rom was erased. I might have gotten confused with the roms and used a rom without the appopriate Radio. When I try to flash that rom back to a stock Verizon upgrade it just ends 11% in to the flashing process and the rom update utility returns a Error 290 screen.
Currently I can get the oilpro 1.20 bootloader to still load up but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I tried updating the ROM to DCD's older 3.20 roms, which did complete but I still have that screen coming up. Can anyone give me some suggestions on what I should do next? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try using NueSPL 2.47 it's more current
Doesn't have have to be run on the phone itself once inside Windows? The only screen I can get up is the Verizon (splash) screen where it normally lists the rom and radio, or the oilpro boot loader screen. I actually can't get back in to windows to run the nueSPL 2.40.exe file.
Is there a way for me to flash the radio back from a bootloader screen and USB or SD card? The thing is I actually tried to take the 3.42.40 radio and use the Flash Rom Utility to see if it would flash the radio rom back on but even though the process completes successfully, I still get the no radio error so I guess it doesn't work. Thanks for the help, I think I may have been a few of the idiots out there who screwed things up and didn't make sure the radio was up before attempting any rom upgrade.
You should've changed the bootloader first. Your radios that you are trying are not compatible with your bootloader.
Flash an old stock rom via SD, then update your bootloader to 2.47 once you can get back into windows, then update your radio, and then your rom.
Yeah that was one of the first things I've tried a USB update back to the stock Verizon 6.1 ROM, but for some reason it prematurely ends at 11% with the PDA Phone Update Utility throwing a ERROR 290 message. This is the first time this has happened as I've flashed with this same rom tons of times. I've been looking online for the past hour on how to flash the ROM from a SD card if I can't get in to Windows. But all I could find was the USB update utility and it ends at 11% Am I doing it wrong? any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you can still get in the bootloader then you should be fine....I would put it manually in bootloader holding power and camera simultaneously and poke the hole to get it into bootloader.
Once you do that plug in the data cable and run Olipro 2.40 or Nue 2.47. It should be able to take after that.
Basics steps to flashing a phone:
correct unlocker-->stock ROM-->custom ROM
Most custom ROMs will not include Radios that why you would run the stock ROM first to install the radio and then run the custom ROM. Alot simpler then trying to update the Radio by itself.
AWESOME! I got it back up, thanks guys. For reference purposes I'm going to restate the problem and solution incase other noobs run in to the same issue.
PROBLEM:
I installed oilpro 1.2 during the process of installing a new radio then a rom. Along the way the rom install failed. I tried to reinstall a stock Verizon rom RUU 3.57 & 3.37 radio but it failed at 11%. I was then stuck at the splash screen with a message that said NO RADIO. I could still get in to the boot loader with the power and camera button. But the stock Verizon rom did not install anymore.
SOLUTION:
I used titan_exitbl.exe to exit the bootloader and I went back to an earlier rom found here, rom 2.09 & radio 1.30. That one actually installed. It seems to have worked. I'm back in windows now but I need to uninstall oil pro 1.2 and get nuSPL 2.47 on there before I move further (it looks like while it's still on the stock RUU won't work for me).
Do you guys know how I would go about uninstalling Oilpro 1.2? Will Titan_relocker do it for me? I'm not sure if installing nueSPL over oilpro will do it.
Use this ROm from Verizon to get the Stock 6.1 back up and running. It's the MR2 rom

Glad to hear you got your phone back up
As far as I know you should be able to just install 2.47 and it will overwrite your old bootloader without problems. I could be mistaken but there isn't really a way to "uninstall" a bootloader, just overwrite it with a different one.
unL33T is correct...just run Nue 2.47 and let it overwrite the old one. 8p
Yeah that's what I thought too, but when I tried to over right it with 2.47 the 1.20 showed up again so I used the titan_relocker tool. Maybe I did something wrong. I'll go recheck, thanks for the replies guys.
