I have a Sprint Mogul and for some reason it won't boot. I have tried flashing dcd 3.2.6, nueROM pre3, and Sprint latest official ROM. Flashing works just fine, but when it goes to boot the HTC screen flashes for a second and then goes away. Sometimes, after 5 minutes it will boot up, but 99% of the time it just stops. Anyone got any ideas?
Update to a good bootloader. I recommend nueSPL-2.47 and see if that doesn't help it boot. Also take out the SD card to make sure it isn't having problems reading it and locking it up on boot.
The only time I've ever changed the bootloader is when I'm in Windows. How else would you do it?
I have tried flashing the Bootloader from the SD, from a stock ROM, and from a custom ROM, but it is still 2.47. I can't seem to downgrade to 2.40.

There is no need to downgrade.....why are you wanting to do that? After flashing did you pull the battery and the perform a hard reset?
I was just trying anything to get the phone to boot. I have pulled the battery and hard reset after flashing the bootloader and ROMs.

***EDIT***
Dang, I just read your post about your light not even turning on. Did you try soft resetting it? I know that sounds dumb, but had to ask. Did you try taking the battery out for a bit? Try holding the Power button and the Camera button down on the right side of the phone and push your stylus into the soft reset hole. That's the way to put it into bootloader mode. If you've got the phone plugged in even (try it without the battery too) and you still don't get anything, then I'd say try to get it replaced if you can. That's never a good feeling. I've had a couple of HTC devices now, and have been there a couple of times where you think your phone is dead, but it ends up not being that way. I hope this situation goes the same way for you.
*********************************
3.27 requires 2.40 and is also outdated.
You could try the Titan Relocker to put an older bootloader version on it, and then flash an official rom that supports GPS, which will update you to the Carrier's ROM and Radio. At that point, you can try to unlock and flash to 2.40.
Once you have 2.40 installed, you can then put on a 3.xx radio (3.39.10 is recommended right now) and flash to a custom ROM, such as DCD's newly released 3.1.6 ROM. I think it runs really well, and I flash mine to different roms way more than I'd like to admit. I think I'm going to stay with this one for a while.
Once you get the 2.40 bootloader, I'd start using the SD Card flashing method for your ROMs exclusively. It works really well, and the good thing is that you can have other stuff on the card, so you can use a small card by itself only for flashing, with folders for different ROMs and Radios, or you could use one big one, and then just change the required file every time you wanted to flash.
I haven't included links to everything because that would take a while, but you should be able to find everything I've mentioned by using the search function, or if you can't seem to find what you're looking for here, you can try ppcgeeks.com too, it's another great resource for our phones.
Good luck!

P.S. Don't worry too much about your phone, these titans are actually quite hard to brick. As long as you can get to the bootloader, you should have a good chance to get everything working properly again.

You are fine. Though as your Titan is already unlocked and had an older third-party ROM installed, it ain't so "new" . Your problem is covered in the Wiki:
II. Install the correct bootloader
Hit Power-Camera-Reset to check what version of bootloader you have installed.
At the tri-colour bootscreen you will see the version number installed.
if it is 1.04 or 1.06 then you must unlock your phone and upgrade to 2.40. Olipro 1.20 is not necessary at all when using newer ROMs/Radios.
if it is 1.20 then you have the pre-GPS ROM bootloader and must first flash to one of the older ROMs and associated radio to boot into WM, get an ActiveSync connection and then upgrade to 2.40.
if it is 2.40 then you have the correct bootloader and are ready to move on to the Radio Upgrade in Section III.

Oops, I just read that too... Remove the battery or try another battery yet? Other than that...
how did things finally turn out jmann?
I flashed my phone under the instruction of another site so I'm not exactly sure how to troubleshoot with the wiki here.
I flashed my phone from 3.35 to the new stock 3.56 rom with no problems. I then unlocked my phone and proceeded to flash the kaos f*** sprint take 3 rom. Everything went fine but the phone resets every time i get to the calibrating screen after bootup.
I've found out that the problem is that I unlocked with the 1.20 olipro bootloader instead of the 2.40. I followed some advice and tried to flash to a stock rom, but whenever the progress bar reaches 11% the phones resets back to the bootloader screen and the RUU says error and wants me to do recovery. I've tried with both 3.35 and 3.56 stock roms multiple times but the same thing happens.
I also tried flashing the stock roms via SD but it says:
TITAIMG.nbh - FAIL
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
SPLASH2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
OS -
Update Terminate
UPDATE FAIL
the progress bar on the bottom looks to be at around 11% as well
Can anyone help please?
According to the stock rom wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome), you need to relock the phone first if going back to a stock rom
I would suggest going back to the stock rom first and then following the instructions to flash to a cooked rom, using the correct bootloader

My first time flashing a CDMA phone and I've got exactly the same problem. Can you please confirm that you didn't have to re-lock before flashing back to the stock ROM. Mine is Verizon, BTW. Also appreciate any others' advice regarding this matter. TIA.

Thank you for your help. I have successfully flashed the phone back to the non-GPS Verizon stock ROM, then I flashed the bootloader to 2.4 without any problem. But after flashing the phone to dcd's 3.2.5 ROM, I've got stuck at the Verizon splash screen, although I have tried to hard-reset after the flashing process already. Can somebody please suggest a resolution for this to work. I have flashed many GSM phones before but CDMA might be a little trickier.
Also, this VX6800 is a brand-new phone which has not yet been initial programmed with the carrier, would it be the cause? My apology for being such a noob. Thank you all for the inputs.

Pull the battery for about 30 seconds then hard reset....
If that does not work flash a stock gps rom and then flash DCD after that...either one should do the trick.....(sorry I should have added this before wasn't thinking)

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.

interesting idea.. care to share that nbh? i guess it shouldnt be hard for someone to cook it up themselves if they have all the needed components
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.

Hello,
I am stuck, searching and WIKI-reading did not help.
I am running MR1 on a XV6800. Attempting to flash a PPCKITCHEN or pre-made ROM. Copied TITAIMG.nbh to a FAT32-formatted 1g SD card. Entered bootloader and got the tri-color screen. SPL is 2.07. Goes to the LOADING screen and hangs there, doing nothing. battery removal removal/re-insertion brings back the device to functional, but of course nothing changes. Tried the RUU/Activesync method as well, but it times out with 0% progress.
What am I doing wrong? Ran nuespl247, same thing when it went into bootloader.
I have flashed ROMS before on a 6700, but my attempts on the 6800 keep coming to the same roadblock.
Thanks in advance

I'm sure I'm missing something but for the life of me I have no clue what.
Nevermind
Ran the HardSPL process to update the Bootloader. All is well. Happily cooking and flashing!

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.
