Hi all. does anyone know where I can get dcd 3.0.1? I looked on the page with all his other roms and its not active. I heard this was the best rom for the use of garmin and wifi router. any help or advice is appreciated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376150
thank you very much.....for those of you who mainly only use garmin and wifirouter has this been the best rom for you?
oh and i'm a sprint user
I heard 3.2.6 is the best. Its so stable that DCD doesn't have to update it or come back and check up on it.
LOL nice...

Nice, Lol that is the truth. I guess.....
thank you very much. i flashed to 3.2.6 but for some weird reason my phone is taking a very long time now to open apps and do basic tasks like open up my memory info and menus. i only installed wifirouter, livesearch, and garmin. its weird because i have aroun 155mb of storage and 25mb of ram. i'm running radio 3.35.04. will it really matter if i upgrade to 3.42? also does the radio have anything to do with how will my garmin gets a signal? thanks for the help and any ideas are appreciated.
3.2.6 is really the best rom I have ever used for my sprint mogul hands down. DCD did a great job.
i agree......the lagging issues now don't exist but it was weird. if anybody can answer my question about the radios i would still appreciate it.
What's the easiest way to upgrade to DCD Rom? Are there any instructions?
You also might want to upgrade the boot loader to the NUESPL2.47. Someone did a study and found that to speed up most everything on the phone. I also would suggest DCD 3.2.6 as it does seem to be the most stable, but you should look at the 3.42.40 or .50 radio as I think it helps the GPS a bit plus a wee bit better signal.
thanks......after a little research i'm gonna go with the 3..42.4. I have upgraded my radio before but this was a while ago. What's the easiest way to do it? I went to the Wiki page and it talked about flashing the radio and rom.....i have the rom I want I only want to flash the radio.

flash it from sdcard is the easiest way
thanks for the helpful directions. I followed them and and its sits in the tri color screen with the word serial in the bottom white part. When i first press the power-camera-reset combination it acts like it wants to load something for a half second and then sits on the tri color screen. anybody else have this problem? i'm using SPL-2.47 by the way
From my experience, when you are attempting to flash from the SD card and have made sure the file is the correct name (TITAIMG.NBH), but still doesn't work, it's because the SD card isn't formatted correctly. I had to use the nueSPL tool to format my card correctly to get it to flash from the SD card. Have you tried that?

1. Make sure you are using a microSD card, not a microSDHC one (usu. 4GB and higher).
2. Try another brand....I've found that my Mogul will not load an image from any SanDisk, but loves Transcend.
3. Keep trying....even with my Transcend card, sometimes it may take 3-4 tries.
oh ok. i already formatted the card fat32 when i put spl 2.47 on my phone so i figured it should work. its a 512 so i dunno whats wrong. i guess i just gotta keep trying.

Hi,
I have a Jasjam which is getting NoGSM errors. I believe this may be causing my hanging issues that I've been having a lot of.
I've had a look at the Wiki page on this, and a couple of things aren't very clear.
I'm currently running Bootloader SPL-1.10, and it says to go back to 1.04. Can I change to SPL-2.10Oli to do this as well (I guess this is easier).
Also, after this step, it says to Flash the patched radio to simunlock my jasjam, however it is already simunlocked.
I just wanted to clarify these things before giving this a go, so if anybody can enlighten me it would be greatly appreciated, as it is really starting to get to me.
Thanks for your help.
Paul
NoGSM Error in Jasjam - clarification of wiki
Just wanted to change the title...
Just wanted to bump this to see if anybody can help me out. I'm still having NoGSM problems, have tried the fix on the Wiki, but things aren't completely clear, as so far it hasn't made any difference.
Sorry mate, probably because no-one HAS a surefire method to fix the "No GSM" problem. Lots of people claim that something fixed it but they seem to keep popping up in the threads still trying to fix their problem. You might have to just try everything until you either give up or something noticeably improves or someone pulls the answer out of thin air.. We all live under the threat of "No GSM" and dread the day if/when it will finally arrive... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you can shoot me til your hearts content.
Cheers...
Thanks for that, so pretty much I should keep on trying to flash different radios until I find one that sticks around for a while?
Would try to flash a stock rom 1st. What Telco are you with? Use their "Official"rom and see if that works. THEN go nus trying radio only roms. Chances are though that if you can't flash 1 radio rom your radio has been corrupted and is unrecoverable.
Good Luck

Hi, I've got a Jasjam (so therefore it's a Telstra phone). I've gone from the official rom to unofficial roms and back again. I've installed individual radio roms. Most things go onto the phone fine, and it will work perfectly for maybe half a day, and then it crashes, and when I restart I get NoGSM. I might reset it 5 times, and then the radio will come back.
I bought it on ebay, but I've managed to get hold of the details to get a duplicate invoice, so I've put the phone back onto Telstra ROM and a standard SPL, and I'm going to get them to have a look at it, as it looks as though it's a hardware problem, unless any of you smart bods here have other ideas...
Can anybody shed any extra light before I take it into the shop? Just don't want to admit defeat if I can
If you can, the best way to fix is through warranty. If they try to fix 3 times and fail they have to give you a new handset. I believe Telstra no longer have the jasjams so you might be upgraded to the Tytn II.
Cheers....
Ok.. I just got a new XV6800. I'm a complete newbie at this.
I installed:
SPL: 2.40
ROM: 3.2.3
Radio: 3.42.30
It was a brand new phone & not activated.
Everything seemed to go ok.
I rebooted.. Had a real difficult time getting a wireless signal.. Eventually got one.. But kept getting signal lost when trying to dial *228..
Finally got it to go through.. phone reboot.. signal didn't come back..
So what did I do wrong? Any ideas how to fix it?
*sigh* I really wish you people would search the forums.
I'm not even bothering to copy/paste the explanation, all you get is a link...
http://ppc.stoleyour.net/xv6800/#signal
Actually did search but never found that link. Appreciate it. I'll follow it and hope it works for me.
P.S. I used google to search the forums as was indicated and never found the post that way.. Only one I found was
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1944961&postcount=1
which didn't help.

I think the correct sequence is:
SPL: 2.40
Radio: 3.42.30
ROM: 3.2.3
Carrier CAB
I would also suggest to activate the phone first with your carrier and make sure that the phone works before flashing it.

I flashed mine before activating it and I didn't have any problems. It saved me a phone call (didn't need to call for a new A-Key).
BTW -- Thank you.. Not sure how it happened but it actually fixed itself.. I kept trying to run ##778 & EPST and it would never work.. Finally after about 20 minutes it got a signal lock but still not EPST or ##778.. I rebooted the phone and it was working & had a signal. I rebooted again and still working with a signal.. Maybe it just needed to acquire a signal once after being activated with *228

Exactly the link I've been looking for...been contemplating a cooked ROM flash but there is so much information all over the place its hard to figure out exactly what you need to do.
That site provides a simple, no-nonsense how-to
I'm still going to wait and see what happens with the VZW 6.1 update that is supposed to come out within the next few weeks.
Again, thanx for posting that link

Hi guys!
What are your thoughts on this interesting situation!
I'm on Rogers in Canada, sitting in my basement now.
My 8525 with Radio 1.51.00.10 gets one bar.
3G is okay.
I make 4 test calls to myself... All four connect.
Great.
I have another 8525, and I decide to go with the new 1.54.00.10 Radio.
It's not great.
I place four calls, and two don't even connect.
I get about one bar.
Fair enough.
I then have to SIM/CID unlock this, since this is a new machine.
I bring the radio goes down to 1.16!
So, I am laughing to myself thinking how much it would suck.
Now.. I am starting at THREE and FOUR bars of strength... ALL calls are perfectly completed, and 3G surfing is faster than ever
Two questions.....!!!
1 - If I think 1.16 is better than 1.51... should I just leave it?!?!?!? I am totally shocked!
2 - If I upgrade my radio later on, aren't my settings/apps/etc still preserved?? I am about to install 6.1, and get the phone all customized. If, indeed, 1.16 ends up bring crap... is the radio upgrade okay to do later on, or will I have to do a hard reset? Yeah, it's a noob question.. whatever...! LOL!
I'm just in shock at the speed; completed calls; number of bars; and sound quality here in my basement with 1.16........
Thoughts are welcome!
Oh, please ignore my second question!
OF COURSE the settings are preserved!
I just did two radio upgrades!
haha!
But I am curious about this 1.16 success!
You could keep 1.16 since it's better than 1.51 fo U...sometimes when flashing radios some "sit" better with the firmware.
U can always flash another one later if U need to...
Just dont get too radio rom flash happy as screwing up these flashes will generally end up with a permanent brick... Once you find something you're happy with, stick to it....

Just so long you upgrade the radio with a MicroSD card you should be fine. I am interested as to how you been getting on with that 1.16. Care to try the latest 1.56 and see how that compares?
i try, realy i do. have done all with no help (not that i haven't asked) but i can only get so far. really kills me to read signatures of others bragging how they have their titan going with gps,mms,net (everything including kitchen sink) on cricket. yet i get nowhere, even when 3 ask. i know that ppcgeeks is almost a mirror of this site, and i don't mean to ruffle feathers, but ppc only seems to be a good place to SEARCH, i'm having no luck with forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

The difficultly with Cricket is there is no "stock" Rom for this phone. I had the same problem with a Palm Treo, it worked great until I ported my home phone number to the phone and I lost internet. I could only find the same instructions that I have and must have punched it in a thousand times, called Cricket a couple to have my data package removed and added and nothing. When I swapped out for a Cricket Motorola K1m KRZR everything worked just fine. So something happened to the phone and I wasn't going to fix it as there was no stock rom to go to. You might try buying a cheap real Cricket phone off ebay, changing to that phone and then change back to the Titan and see if that changes something. $15 per swap though, maybe find a friend that can do it for free. Hope this helps.
I have other phones, even an other titan, same rom and everything. It has been my test phone for flashing. I didn't want to boar group with story. I ordered one from fundevices and after 6 weeks of waiting and calling, I ordered on off evilbay and it showed in two days. Ran it for a bit the way it came with 6.0 and would send pic but not recieve. Fathers day wife, kids and I went camping and my phone got soaked with soda (floated in it for while on car charger before I found it). Sunday we got home and I took phone apart and cleaned screen side best I could, but mother board and key board got most damage. It would come on, then off, and on, and off........
anyway I washed the mother board in hot water and dish soap in big bowl for about 15 minutes. Put all back together making sure everything was 100% dry. Turned it on, nothing. But it would charge battery. Monday the first one oredered (after 10 weeks) was at my door after work. I didn't activate it knowing I was going to change the rom, and just used wifi for about 5 days. Still using damaged one as a charger and backup battery. I sent both phones to to0 (mike cooper) and had him flash the to0v3 rom on one, but he couldn't get wet phone to come on. When I got phones back, it still had 1.20 bootloader and his rom. No gps, and it took me a week to get the net to work and mms never worked. Sent it to him under the impression that his rom posted on ppc, hofo and cricket phone talk saying everything worked, was what I was getting him to do. When I got it back, activated it, and made a call, no mic. It's not broken. Missing driver, missing patch? Don't know, I know it works. Make a call (not activated) and blow in mic. Get static. Do a video, and it records and plays back sound, but to do a voice command, or record a voice memo nothing. After a few days the battery was low, but not dead. I took backup off damaged phone and put in low battery and turned on (constant on and off would kill it for sure) and it came on. I mean it is the phone I use everyday, flashing, no luck, this post. Been going for about 6 weeks. Still untouched, 2.09 sprint rom with 1.32.00 radio, and it had a dcd hack since windows media player said dcd rom in back ground. How it came working on cricket. While flashing phone with no mic, I hooked up good phone and did unlocker on it without really knowing what I was doing. Of course it stuck in bootloader and I had no clue what to do. By now I have flashed, and flashed, and flashed. Even ripping apart roms posted to put together some things. E.G. dcd 1.6.0 to get stock 1.06 spl and putting it in 2.09 rom that was on phone ruu folder to get phone locked to do hard spl 2.40 Original rom had 1.20 and every time i relocker, it would get stuck in bootloader and then I would flash original rom, thus completing a circle.
How I got to where I'm at now. With 2.09 rom, use relocker, then rom I pieced up to get out of bootloader. Then run hard spl 2.40 since unlocker doesn't, and flashing 2.47 from card always gets me stuck in 2.07 bootloader. Once done hard spl, it's stuck in 1.20 bootloader, flash sprint 3.56, half way thru it stops and wants to recover (don't). remove battery and turn back on and force phone into bootloader and it is 2.40, flash vCBU and when done it gets stuck in boot screen and only thing in red letters is "no radio". Force in bootloader and flash 3.56 and not let customize. Then back to bootloader and flash over vCBU again. Then flash vboots. Then go thru and do reg hacks and fill in stuff for modem. And that is where I am. And yes, that is only way I could get everything flashed. 4 diff attempts on 2 phones, all left same path. Still have my nokia 6265 but wife uses for backup charger for her 6275 and some old dot matrix green screen cricket phones. I was hoping for an easier resilution. Since on phone was almost 4 bills, one was almost 3 bills, and sending to to0 to flashed was 70, pluse switching back and forth at cricket.

Was there a question in there?
How far did you get? where are you stuck? what part do you need help with?
Can you not flash 3.2.6 and run the cricket carrier cab to get all this working..? (I have VZW.. so I'm not sure about cricket)
Question is fairly clear. I posted link to ppcgeeks where my origanl question was, and when I said something about ruffling featers. Will I get anywhere asking this group to help me since it is a near perfect mirror of ppc geeks as for as stickies, threads, even what is in the threads word for word, bashing ppc for not having the backbone to answer my request for help and trying to get it here? If you read my post at ppc showing that my mms kinda works, my net does work my gps doesn't work, dialing *228 after going thru a list of prls. I guess it would be obvious of the whole, is there a question here?
How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
What the hell is up with my mms?
Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls
Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?

Sorry, but you asked.
Wow that seems like a lot of frustration, I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried to bring the phone back to its original carrier like Verizon or Sprint and then started over with the latest Radio and DCD Rom? The reason I ask is it seems that you might need to start from a known point to "clean" out all the "custom" stuff. You also might want to contact Bunvilla as he PMed me with Cricket info and has he Mogul working on Cricket:
well i bought a qwest mogul which was configured for qwest network. It took a few day to find a way to get the SPC or MSL code as they call it which allows me to go into the settings and change it from qwest to cricket settings. Once the settings have been changed then u will be able to gain access on crickets network. There is a very important file called a PRL which u need to load onto the phone but can only do it if u have the SPC code. good news i can tell u how to get any carries SPC code for the mogul/ its a piece of cake to switch and way cheaper of a bill and u will have access to all the features internet and everything. hope this has helped " cricket rules"

I unfortunately am not on Cricket with my Titan. I am getting ready to flash a Verizon Motorola K1m KRZR over to Cricket but it seems way different process. I hope you do figure it out and some one on Cricket here can help you get past this ugly mess. Hopefully Bunvilla can help. I will PM him now and ask him to get in touch with you.

Well, first I would like to help you… but you posted a link that does not take me to a post.. it takes me to a general forum.. And it’s the Vogue Forum at that. I’m not searching another board for your question. So Excuse me for not knowing your question.
Second, While I have not read your post there.. If you posted with anywhere near the lack of information or general attitude (as if you are entitled to be helped) as you did here.. I can see why nobody helped you. (edit I see more info in your second post but you are all over the place and filled with irrelevant info it's hardly readable)

Yes, a proper post with a well phrased question, information on what rom / radio / and steps you’ve taken.. and a proper post title will almost always get a response and the help you need to get you on the right track. The post title is important because people see those and decide.. “Hey I know how to fix that” (MMS and GPS on Cricket Help) would be a good one. Your title “Will this work” will be skipped by most people. So… if you don’t follow those steps.. NO it’s not worth asking here.

It’s possible you did something wrong… Because a rom does not work for you, you cant go blaming the rom.. unless everyone or most people have the problem. (I’m not familiar with that rom) If many people use it, and it works for most.. then the problem is probably you.. Bashing the rom will get you nowhere fast.
** Edit** Didn't realize To0's Rom was installed for you for $$.. odd?

This whole process is wierd....
So I think I understand.. you are at SPL 2.40? Because 2.47 would not work? You put a sprint rom on it, but it says no radio?
Are you against DCD 3.2.6? I'll cook you a rom with the features you want and put it on my FTP if your computer is too slow to do it.
Do you have an SD card thats less than 2GB and formatted with Fat 32?
If so.. I should be able to help you get working.

Why hasn't cricket mofia chirped in?
wow!!!! Its gonna be ok lil buddy. hang in there and have some patients ( i know your patients has been depleted) and i will try and help u to get answers and your phone working properly again.
I personally have so much on my plate that i dont get to "ppc geekout" as much as i used to.
1) How come my gps don't work after filling all appropriate fields in?
well the answer is that u shouldnt really have to enter anything in any field/ just make sure that the radio and the rom are both of the GPS rom release. cant have a pregps radio with a gps enabled rom, this is not good.
2)What the hell is up with my mms?
mms is a fickled thing , especially for us cricket people/ the problem is the wap settings and some wierd issue in the reg where a certain setting would basically block our phones from recieving the mms message.
Long story short is that with the updating of roms (from wm5 to wm6 to wm6.1) the mms seems to also have changed and just when we figure out what the problem is , it gets changed. and also cricket service doesnt use as sophisticated servers for handling mms as lets say "sprint" so we cricket people have to make changes to get our mms to work . BUT in a nut shell i have successfully got mms to work with the latest PPCKITCHEN rom release.
It took me 5 1/2 hours to figure out y i couldnt get PPCKITCHEN to work on my computer./ had to use a utility to remove netframe work and then download a 200mbsfile of netframe 3.5 and that did the trick.
3)Why can't I get *228 to program my phone after changing prls?
BECAUSE U DONT HAVE YOUR SPC or MSL CODE SET TO 000000!
PERIOD!!!! im not yelling just letting u know exactly y/ ive done this successfully twice to my current titan/ cricket sets its SPC code for all its phones to 000000/ so when it trys to access your phone it cant get pass the code/ i have the modem drivers and program u will need (which i dont know if we are aloud to mention it here) but i have it and will pass it on to u/
4)Why does the evdo change to 1x when in call and on net?
now naturally your phone will switch betwwen evdo and 1x /1x when you recieve or make a call send a text msg etc, and evdo when using data/
connection/ Now i also expierenced a couple months back when my phone all of a sudden would not stay in evdo mode no matter what i did/ i think it was a certain rom and radio combo which fixed it, but anyhow first things first.
PS by the way, these 2 files have gotten me unstuck from the boot loader mode a bunch of times and i would say the most valuable files to have are these two/
i will PM u ok , lets just take it slow k, your situation sounds like a bunch of software issues which is ALOT better than defective hardware issues
JPWHRE
sorry if my spelling suks im a lil tired/ I did get a PM from jambrose/ So just to let u know, that u should give him a big thanks/ not that i wouldnt of helped u if i came across your post but to be honest i dont read alot of the posts anymore/
And by the way jambrose, its good to hear from u. Im glad u r out there helping these guys, and keeping the support going.
hey JPWHRE
for some reason i cant send u an attachment in a PM so i guess ill post the files and info here ok
1)First run the "titan RELOCKER" file with your
phone connected to active
sync, it should return your
phone to the stock
bootloader/
2)Next run the "titan unlocker"
next , this will allow u to
install olipro 1.20/ after
running the unlocker and
following its instructions u
might be in bootloader mode
if i remember right
3) your phone should be in
bootloader mode now,(if it
aint, put it in boot mode) so
just run the "ROM update
utility" in the "olipro 1.20
unlocker" folder im sending u
k/
** u may still be in
bootloader mode when u r done
installing the 1.20 BL, NO
PROBLEM, just run the
DisconnectActiveSync.exe file
first in the "Unlockboot
folder" i have included, THEN
the "titan_exitbl.exe"/
THIS should cause your phone
to reboot.
4)next i believe we r ready
to load radio ( for some
reason the radios can only be
installed using olipro 1.20)
in the folder i have the
radio in, u will run the ROM
update utility and install
the radio.
5) Next u will need to update
your bootloader to 2.40, so
that u can load a custom rom.
Just run the
"Hard-240SPL-MFG.exe" file
ive included and it should
update u with no problems,
Once this has been done u can
now go and install ROM of
your choice/ *** PPCKITCHEN latest rom release allows MMS for us cricket folks**** and if u installed the ROM and cant get the MMS to work just PM me and ill give u the instructions to enable it, there is some adjustment that will need to be made first , so dont worry , we will get it working k**
6) well my friend this has
taken alot out of me/ i will
post these instructions im
giving u under your thread
that way incase i have missed
something, somebody can
inform us/
PS GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, and
if u get stuck or have a
question, just PM me, but if
i dont get back to u right
away, be patient, k
heres a link to all the neccessary files, its to big to add as an attachement:

i try, realy i do. have done all with no help (not that i haven't asked) but i can only get so far. really kills me to read signatures of others bragging how they have their titan going with gps,mms,net (everything including kitchen sink) on cricket. yet i get nowhere, even when 3 ask. i know that ppcgeeks is almost a mirror of this site, and i don't mean to ruffle feathers, but ppc only seems to be a good place to SEARCH, i'm having no luck with forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

DID THIS HELP U???? I havent heard one way or the other from u so i am wondering if this worked for u ??
Just looking for a place to start...
I have Cricket on my PoS Cricket phone. Unlimited mobile web on my account. I also have an originally T-mobile Wizard which I've been using just as a mini-laptop and to learn to cook, flash, etc on...
I'm about to buy a Mogul which is supposedly Cricket flashed and/or a Sprint phone originally. As I understand it, either of these should be qualifiers for a fully functional Cricket Smartphone, yes? I want my voicemail, text messages, to surf the web via my cell connection as well as wifi. Bluetooth, gps, and just about anything else are icing that isn't -truly- a requisite for me. What thread should I start reading for -any- Rom that will accomplish the above. I don't mind if the rom is "too blahh". If you are opposed to singling out a specific rom that you (as a cricket customer with a running mogul) like...You could always post a few that you know work. I understand how the "best rom" politics go.
Also, if there are any other considerations I should keep in mind, please reply!
I am Johnny-come-lately to this debranding scheme. I am in America, but I chose to downgrade to the Euro Rom. Half of it was a success, the other half a failure. The four lines on the top all said okay. The installation that follows went about a line and a half and errored out with the line: wrong or improper sign, which I suppose could be short for "signature". Anyway when I rebooted the phone it got to the HTC screen and froze right there. Also it is in the boot loop. I tried reinstalling the Rom, but it gave the same results. I haven't been able to install SPL 2.05 either. I would like to move forward. But without an OS on the phone, nothing else recognizes it. I have been using the GC method with a single card reader and an SD card. I gave an 8Gb SanDisk flash drive a try but to no avail. I have also tried the various naming variations that are employed here and there. So what does the error message mean? What are my chances of going forward with the Cingular rom so as to finish HSPLing it. Or going back to a shipped or stock rom.
EDIT: I have access to the bootloader and SPL mode.
Thanks to all of you for your unfailing support to us neophytes.

Try to find non-SDHC card for gold-carding.
The best result is SD 1.0 — up to 2 Gb. That what I do always - no issues on any type of thumb drive or card with reader. Other guys here have also success with SD 1.1 which is up to 4 Gb. But 8 Gb will not work.

My card is HD and is a single card reader. I have a 1Gb and a 4Gb thumb drives. No luck with either of the sticks, but the HD card works. I'm going to take another path. I need the file; IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.0 2.26_A… (Radio 16). I'll be able to move forward with that. Where can I download it at?

AndrewSH is correct; I had your exact same problem but before I get ahead of myself; your device must read x310e after you install the Euro ROM; if it doesn't you're dead right there. You may be the exception but no high capacity card worked on the two Titans I did; however, I did successfully use a PNY 4 GB thumb drive; a red one in fact that comes in a two pack - red/blue thumb drives from Wal-Mart with a Y cable. I tried an 8 gigger; no dice. When you flash SPL205; you need to be really, really patience; you might say to yourself this is not doing a damn thing...give it a solid 30 minutes before you give it up for dead; out of the blue my device came alive about 15 minutes into it and successfully updated the SPL by saying bootloader ok and radio ok. I cannot stress enough how important this 2nd step is and have the patience to wait it out. You only format your thumb drive/micro SD card once; that's it; all you have to do after that is remove the 1st ROM and replace it with the baby ROM from SPL205. One more thing, if you haven't renamed the image do so...change it from ETERIMG to ETERDIAG...those 8 letters that's it. "diag" behaves differently than "img". And look, I realize this stuff makes for boring reading but read all the threads on HSPL not just the Titan; I'm not implying you read everything here...but specific to HSPL and Windows Phone 7, you bet...regardless of device. I don't want to sound like a grouchy old man here but it took me 4 days to get this right and I did a level of reading I've never done before here and I've been flashing phones a long time; there's no quick fix solution here and to be frank, it's a crap shoot; it may and again it may not work. I rewrote my own experience here...read it and do exactly what I say, no shortcuts. One day I will sit down and rewrite the darn thing in common sense language. I can't stand a tutorial written over my head and there are a few here who do great stuff but are thee worse teachers. It reminds me of a calculus teacher teaching 2nd graders..nope! I realize this is frustrating...join the party! Your phone will work after the initial flash to either the Cingular 1.10 or European 1.09 but it's like stepping back in time. And unless you're really living in a cave, there is a stock Microsoft ROM for the damn thing. Don't ask me how much sleep or the lack of sleep I got during those 4 days. There's no comparison between locked and truly unlocked; once you turn this beast loose there's no going back.

I know what you mean, I know what mean... I have been reading a lot also. But coming late to the process, where all the posted links are dead, has left us late bloomers at a disadvantage. Thank you so much! Yeah I read the threads, and the tutorials. They were not QUITE clear enough, But the one thing I noticed right off the bat was, a LOT of people failed to simply read those posts. I read them and I can tell you that every one of them made the picture clearer. The European file errored out with a "wrong sign" or some such. So I don't even have a Rom in my phone. So I couldn't charge my battery. I bought a great little plug-in charger that I can put my battery in and charge it. Then I discovered that in Zune update mode that it will charge. So I've been doing that. I still have boot mode and PLC mode- and update mode. So I can still flash. So here goes nothing!:laugh: Thanks a cool million!

Did I do it!? I did the files correctly. Here is what it says;
P139100
HSPL2.5. 160015.3(137079)
eMMC SND 15188MB
CotullaH(F:81,ID:1,V11,B:F8)
Radio-16.23.06.10
When the phone starts up, I still see the HTC logo in green. So did I do it!? EDIT: BTW, when I restarted it, I had about 10 updates waiting for me. They were all AT&T apps if I'm not mistaken.

Looks good. Now you have to make a decision - what custom to flash to your phone. Most of the customs here need Radio ver 17. As for me - I was using ver 17 for almost a year but than I returned to radio ver 16 - better signal quality and faster network detection (but it's absolutely the local problem of your carrier and coverage - so try by yourself). I wanna say that ver 16 and ver 17 radios need different roms - because of different OEM part. So choosing your custom - pay attention on the radio ver needed in rom description.
Thanks AndrewSh- Thanks everyone!

Thanks! The finish seemed so anticlimactic. The struggle, the doubt, the fear, the frustration, the lack of answers, a clear path to move forward on. Now that that is over I'm feeling much better. When it came down to it, my SD card started dying. The thumb drives didn't work. Then out of the blue I put the second file on my 1Gb stick and it flashed like a champ. Then the last file flashed over the same easy way.
I'm thinking about the Deepshining Rom. I like the way it looks. I'm looking for substance, but I'm also looking for eye candy. I run Windows 7- glass, aero... Then I set up a Windows 8 machine for my wife at work. They took the glass and aero out of it. Yuck. The stock Titan Rom looks like Windows 8. Deepshining looks like it has a glass aero look to it. Vivid colors also.
Hey thanks so much for your patient, helpful tutelage for everyone in helping to get us going. I couldn't have done it without the myriad of genuinely kind people here. Thanks EVERYONE. THANKS A COOL MILLION!
