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....

I looked over the wiki again and was able to re-flash to 2.3.2. Thanks for your help guys.

edit: as a result of a few people possibly bricking their devices, i have removed the standalone radio update.
at this time the best method of obtaining radio 3.35.04 is to flash the entire sprint 3.35 rom update.
Whoa. What are changes?
will this work on a Verizon one? or is it just Sprint?
DCD,
Getting an error on installation. RUU hangs at 9% then gives me Error[328] INvalid command, The update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility. I am running Olipro-2.40. Vz user. No issues in the past with upgrading rom or radio. Have been running leaked radio and both yours and No2Chem's roms.
Thoughts
okay so im seeing all kinds of misc threads around about this radio but everything is specific to Sprint...
no one can verify if this works with Verizon?
Anyone even know what the difference in the radio is from 3.27?
please excuse my ignorance, but I just want to make sure that if I'm already running one of your roms (2.3.1) that all I need to do is flash this radio. Is that right, or do I need to reflash the rom as well?
I am also getting the error at 9%. I have tried flashing about 5 times all with the same result.
Downloading the RADIO now... I've got DCD's 2.3.2 (modified a bit) ROM... will report once I get the Radio installed.... I am very excited.
weird, i had dcd 1.7.1 / radio 1.59.10a / spl-1.20-olipro
flash went fine
if you guys keep getting errors ill investigate further

So you're just doing the radio and not the main ROM, correct? And are you just launching the updater or manually putting the phone into bootloader mode first?
I have your 2.3.2 release, 3.16 radio, and SPL-2.40.0lipro and I am getting the error. I will try a few more times. I did notice that the led flashes red right after it fails and reboots.
I am doing just the radio, and I have tried it both ways with the phone in bootloader and without.
Yep. Also getting the error here... I'm using DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
Still no luck either, running No2Chem 5049, 3.16 radio and 2.40. Extracted your radio and it is no different on 3 different RUU's, the same for the radio straight from the Sprint release.

Me three, on my VZW 6800 with latest DCD and test Radio ROM.
Is the first post saying that I can use the New rom (released today) with olipro 2.40?
Yes I am getting the error at 9% also. Bummer.

I flashed from 1.7.0 / radio 1.40 / spl-1.20
did spl 2.40 -> radio -> dcd 2.3.2 rom
no problems... except data is throwing invalid username again.. which is typical after a radio change.. just need to call verizon again
Same on 9%
I am also getting the error at 9%
VZW user with Olipro 2.40 and DCD 2.3.2 ROM
Edit: I have tried from both bootloader and with phone completely booted up.

No. That's already discussed in the thread on the new ROM (and in the ppcgeeks.com thread on the same topic). Here, we're talking about success (or lack thereof) in flashing just the extracted radio so that it can be used with custom ROMs and/or with non-Sprint phones.

Thanks dcd, but getting same error at 9%...running NexVisions Hybrid, 2.40 etc.
I'd like to upgrade my VZW XV6800 to DCD's Titan 3.1.2 with radio 3.39.10, but have some questions. I've read the Wiki and FAQ several times through, but am having a hard time understanding the correct order of upgrading the radio and ROM.
I've successfully upgraded bootloader to 2.40 using Hard-SPL-MFG.exe
Do I next upgrade the radio? Or do I load DCD's 3.1.2 and then upgrade the radio? (After writing that out I think I would upgrade the radio...looking for confirmation.)
Radio or you will be screwed. I speak from experience. Get a SD card and use that method.
good advice on both accounts.
did the radio first, but was then unable to get past the bootloader and unable to connect w/ ActiveSync. followed the SD directions and now i'm running everything i wanted!
I Flashed ROM Then Radio
Tonight I just finished successfully flashing my phone for the first time. I updated the boot loader using titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe, then I attempted to update the radio but actually did not due to a mistake on my part, then I successfully updated the ROM to dcd_titan_3.1.2.exe. Upon a restart, I realized the radio was not updated based upon the Verizon splash screen so I re-entered the bootloader and eventually flashed the radio. Once I finished flashing the radio I restarted and was presented with WM 6.1 and a usable phone.
Easy Way
The easiest way i found was after the new bootloader to go and use the Alltel Stock ROM with the 3.39 radio. This will upgrade your radio without you having to call Verizon. Then load DCD's ROM. Again you should not have to call Verizon or mess with SD cards or anything.

The Alltel rom has Radio 3.37.20, not 3.39.10.

Also not everyone has to call Verizon. I have flashed once to stock, DCD 3.0.4 and DCD 3.1.20 and have yet to call or reenter anything.
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.

I did the same thing. Thank you very much...saved my butt!

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3687027&postcount=144
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.
