I am wanting to return my XV6800 to Verizon as the USB Syncing has failed again (3rd one that I've had that does this) however I am running DCD 3.2.6 and Olipro 2.47 and a non stock radio.
What is the easiest way to revert back to stock so I can return it without being able to sync with the USB. The other 2 times I did it I was running stock and I flashed via USB.
Thanks in advance

Just flash the MR1 update and you will be good to go. You will need to download it and extract the NBH file. Use winrar. Rename largest NBH file to "TITAIMG.NBH" then copy to root of properly formatted 2gig or less microsd. Hold power and camera then hit reset on stylus. This will bring up the tri color screen. It should say checking.... then it should say Press power to start.....
Sit back and wait about 10 minutes.... Your done.
This will not however revert the bootloader. I never revert the boot loader when I turn my phone in. I also just got a warranty replacement from VZW for the exact same reason. The USB ports on these devices seem to go out alot on me.
I did the exact same thing with my broken USB warranty return.
I just put it to a stock VZW rom and left the boot loader alone.

Lazy but it works, heh?
Lazy? I don't think there are any other options to downgrade the bootloader AFAIK.
What about the radio.
Do I need to go back on the radio also.
Oh I see the radio is inclided.

Stock ROM downgrade usually has it own Radio as well, assuming its a full ROM.
Like for Verizon Stock ROM, it had the boot splashes and the OS ROM and the Radio, and I think MAYBE the SPL.
Wiki....always first check the Wiki..... Downgrading to a Titan Stock ROM.
All of the info is there including how to flash with USB or without for the stock ROMs and re-locking bootloader.

Greetings all. I made an error during the upgrade to the new 3.16 ROM and accidently booted back to the stock bootloader before flashing the radio. Now I freeze on the splash screen because my ROM is the 3.16 and my radio is the old stock, so I need the VX 6800 verizon stock image to go back and then forward, or a way to get the 2.4 bootloader back on so I can flash the radio forward. utstar.com does not have it and the sprint one gives a vendor ID error, so I need the VZW image, anyone got ??????Thanks
Put your phone in bootloader mode (hold power and camera while soft reseting). Now flash the radio ROM. It should work fine.
Failed, because ...
Because the bootloader got back to stock and it will not let me upgrade it again, guess it is stuck til i get stock ROM
Then flash the new bootloader. You shouldn't need to go back to the stock ROM to accomplish this. However, the stock ROM is on the PPCGeeks FTP. In vboyz files.
How do I get there ????
I am a member there as well but how do I get to the FTP server you speak of ??
You don't need the stock rom.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB.
Hold the power button, camera button, and use the stylus to soft reset all at the same time, this will put you into the bootloader.
Your PC should detect the phone and it should say USB at the bottom of your phone.
Run the 2.4 bootloader self extracting executable and use the RUU to flash the bootloader...if the self extracting executable doesn't work, you can just extract the files and run the .bat file.
Once the new bootloader is on there, you'll have to get into the bootloader using the power button, camera button, and soft reset again due to the fact that you have the ROM on there without the new radio. (your phone will freeze at the verizon splash screen).
Once back into your freshly flashed bootloader, follow the same instructions above and flash the radio.
Done.
If you do decide to go back to stock, remember that Verizon's latest version is 2.09 (Sprint is at 2.17 or something).
I need it too.
Just in case I have to send the phone in for repair.
been trying all that for hours
I have been trying all the ways you have mentioned for hours and with the 3.16 ROM and the old radio and bootloader it will not let me do the new bootloader,,,,,,,just have to find the 2.09 stock ROM, my only way out at this point. My login at geeks will not let my to the ftp server.
I know this has been posted in the forum here a couple of time but here it is again (though specific to the Verizon ROM folder). ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/vboyz
Username: ppcgeeks
Password: ezupload
Something must be up....
There's no reason why you would need the stock rom to flash your bootloader....
Guess you can try it though.
I seem to have done the same thing, however when I go to reload the newer bootloader it freezes at 0% and I get the ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR each time, even when going through the "recovery" process it guides through.
Any ideas?
Heres where we are now, conclusion
Well to update everyone on whats happening: The unit was less than a month old so the VZ store swapped it out for me, although I wish I could have kept it to putter with because I think I know what went wrong and how to fix it. First of all, I too had the bootloader fall back to the stock one and I got the error mentioned above saying that it could not copy the files for the 2.04 bootloader, so it was stuck with the 3.16 ROM, the old radio, and the old bootloader which causes the thing to freeze at the splash screen, and because of the stated incompatability between the old bootloader and the new ROM is causing the error at 0% when copying files. The reason I wanted to fall back to the stock 2.09 ROM was because I know it would load and allow me to go forward again. The reason I know is that I got the Sprint 2.09 from the utstar.com page and it went to 2% on the ROM before giving the 'VENDOR ID' error and stopping, so this means that it would take the VZ load if I could get it, but it is not on the utstar page. I did get the file from VZBOYZ ftp but I am pretty sure that it is not totally stock as it goes to 0% and fails, not even as far as the sprint ROM did so I think that it fails the needed checksum validation in the stock bootloader. If I had suspected that the stock image was not available in the first place, I never would have gone forward with it in the first place and would avise all others (Verizon units that is) NOT to do it either until a true stock ROM and radio load exist to put it back. VZBOYZ does not have the radio load so even if it passed the validation and put the ROM back you would have a brick because the radio load needs reverting also. Sprint users are lucky because you have this, and I will try again once I know I have the stuff to go back. Thanks for all the help and someone please let me know if the real stock loads do appear somewhere, probably will happen when Verizon releases the 2.17 update then the 2.09 for them will appear on the utstar page i bet. Thanks all.

this little bit of info helped me with the same issue. and my phone after 228 was able to make and get calls and also use the internet.
i now have the new radio and the new dcd 2.20 rom
I have since learned (After reading through hundreds of posts on this thread), that is WRONG for the VX6800. After installing the bootloader Hard_MFG_SPL_2.40_RUU_signed, I should have installed the Radio 3.27 Rom FIRST, and THEN the Titan 2.0 Rom.
Just to let you know in more detailed terms what I did to get out of stuck nightmare that is the Verizon white screen with the red letters and big graphic check mark on top:
(1) Got the Tricolor Bootloader Screen to come up. You must simultaneously: (a) hold down the power button; (b) hold down the camera button; and (c) use your stylus to press the little reset button in the hole at the bottom of your VX6800. This should pop up the Tricolor Bootloader screen if you'd installed this first, as instructed.
(2) Then plugged the VX6800 into the computer's USB port. As the bootloader earlier instructed, I made sure that USB was NOT enabled in "Windows Mobile Device Center" (should be in your start->programs menu). Click on connection settings and turn off the checkbox for USB connection.
(3) Then ran the RADIO 3.17 Rom loader (not the Titan 2.0). It loaded in Radio 3.27 without a hitch. The VX6800 then rebooted. It was not stuck on the white Verizon screen with the red lettering.
(4) Then ran the Titan 2.09 Rom loader. It loaded without a hitch. It then rebooted, and I was done with this portion.

Have you simply lost connectivity to Activesync? Have you tried another PC? Do you not hear the 'add new hardware' chime when connecting your device? Can you boot into the OS? Can you not flash your phone via the SDcard method to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM? Have you failed in attempting the Wiki Downgrading instructions -- particularly using the Titan relocker?

Here is the answer:
1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash (use winrar) from the exe or zip and put it on the microsd card, rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
3. Put the MicroSD card in your phone reboot to the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
-Sayajin
I think if he uses the sd card method above he will have problems. my understanding is that the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40. What he really needs to find out is if it is possible to relock without his USB port functioning. then the sd card method will work to flash a stock rom.
on a related question to the one asked by the OP, can a whole ROM be flashed using an SD card, including the radio? I think I read in the past that flashing radio firmware via SD was very difficult and troublesome...
Like maccaberry mentions, will the stock rom "freak out with olipro 2.40?" Is is possible to flash stock rom and relock from micro SD card?
I have tried several USB cables/PCs and it is just not activesync--troubleshooted with Verizon for 2 hours, the problem appears to be hardware related.
After creating this thread I did read up a bit on the wiki, and was going to try using instructions there, but the part about "the stock rom will freak out with olipro 2.40" has me a bit hesitant to flash stock. If I don't get a solution to update bootloader from micro SD, once I get my replacement and activate it I might try flashing to stock even with olipro 2.40--I am sending it back so if it does get messed up I just have to hope verizon does not come back knocking on my door.

Via the SDcard method, try to flash your device to another 2.40 bootloader using ROM. So that you don't need to be concerned over radio incompatbilities (if you do have the correct 3.35 radio installed for your DCD 3.0.1 ROM) you can try to reflash again with a build from DCD or a ROM with my kitchen. Or you can try one of the older OS/3.16 radio ROMs which also use 2.40. Each of the OS and radio ROMs can be flashed from the SDcard.
I'm sorry, but I wasn't clear in my first post that you do need an active USB connection to change the bootloader and that is why I asked if you could boot into the OS, heard your PC chiming on new hardware connected, or had attempted to reflash your phone to another ROM (or same ROM again) via the SDcard. Also, have you tried a hard reset on your phone?
The issue may be hardware but more than likely it is a software problem on your device or PC.

Yes, any ROM portion should be able to be flashed via that method. On multiple times I have flashed a separate radio ROM without issue.

Keystone thanks for you help...I did do the Device manager check...nothing. Several hard resets were done (memory card in/memory card out). I will try you suggestion about trying a different ROM (or same ROM again) that is made for 2.40. My radio is 3.35.04.
Is it a true statement that the Verizon stock rom/radio will NOT work with 2.40?--I could try this but like I said before I am a little nervous since I know I can't fail over to using USB to PC to help my situation.
You need to flash via the SD card as they say. Put whatever version ROM that goes along with your current radio version. Then once you get it up and running you should be able to connect via activesync and run Titan Relocker to get the 1.30 SPL loaded and 2.40 removed. Then you have a choice to leave it stuck there and return it like I done with one once, or you can flash the stock ROM and radio. There is a chance you can do that from the SD aswell incase your pc fails to pick it up again while in bootloader mode. You'll have to get someone elses input on if that part will work or not.
By the way, the stock ROM isn't your real worry. It's the 2.40 bootloader that will get everyones attention. So you really need to go ahead and properly flash and hope activesync will connect.

You CANNOT flash a stock (verizon signed) rom with 2.40 period. You must relock the phone back to the stock bootloader, and only then can you flash the verizon signed roms.
Key,
You seem to be the expert with SD flashing. Maybe you know a mehtod he can use to get the bootloader on without USB. What I fear is that his USB hardware is fried. In that case, even a flash of a olipro 2.40 compatible rom is still leave him stuck where getting back to stock is concerned. I notice that the bootloader uses a similar software as the roms for loading onto the device. Is is possible to get a bootloader loaded via sd card. I have a feeling it is not possible because the olipro's all use a two step process.. 1st they load a soft (temporary) SPL and then 2nd they load the hard SPL. I have read elsewhere (by ImCoKeMan) that you should not try to run the unlocker via RUU so I assume SD flash version would also not work.
Hens,
If Key cant help us here you might want to pm ImCoKeMan over at ppcgeeks and ask him if the relocker can be loaded via SD card.
Do you have insurance? The device might have an accident with a drop from a 3 storey building that will erase the bootloader altogether..
Finally, you could donate the device to Madman34. He is looking for bricked phones for JTAG experimentation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2019937#post2019937
I was looking into that before I posted my other reply. The one concerning thing about that is when I decompile the titanrelocker.exe file there was a relocker.nb and a 1.30 spl nbh file. I'm pretty sure both are needed, then again I could be way off base. The cool thing would be to get that relocker.exe to run on our mobile device. If that would work it would be easy to set up the SD card to autorun it once WM booted up.
Three story drop huh.... I was thinking Popcorn bout 10 seconds and
how long should this method take mine has been loading for 20min
Hi there, I have very minimal experience with this stuff so I will provide as much detail as possible...
I had previously successfully programmed my HTC6800 back in March by unlocking with Olipro 2.4, then I flashed the radio with 3.27 and used dcd 2.3.2 for Bell on it. Now my memory is a little foggy as that was several months ago however I made it through the process fine. This encouraged my to try to update again today. I tried following the steps in the wiki as I could not find the guide I had used previously. I already had Olipro 2.4 so I was good at that step. I then tried running the newest radio update and it would not take. It gave me an error. I reset the phone and tried several times but to no avail. I then tried putting on dcd3.2.0 which went fine. THe phone rebooted and I made a test call and everything was fine. I however wanted the new radio update still so I thought I'd take another crack at it... it still would not update. In the wiki it said about relocking the phone and putting it back to the factory ROM and starting again. So I did this, I downloaded the relocking util and followed the instructions to relock the phone. That went fine... Olipro is gone and is shows the 1.06 like it's supposed too... next it said to put the factory ROM back on... well, I am will Bell and the link for the factory ROM is dead! I can't get it anywhere!!!
So currently my 6800 sits as the 3 colour screen with 1.06 relock on it and does nothing else. It has radio 3.27 on it and dcd 3.2.0.
Is there any way to fix this?????
Run this first to exit the bootloader and get into windows mobile. Then check out which rom you are on (I think you were on dcds rom). Then load radio via sd card method listed in the wiki. Then reload dcd if you are not already on the version that you want.
P.S. I have heard things about that ROM that it caused problems. You may want to read up on that here.
Nope
Well, I downloaded the file and tried running it but to no avail. It just comes up saying that the application failed to start because RAPI.DLL is missing.
Also
I tried running that app on a Vista machine as well and it just says that it can't open the USB port. However, windows found the device and installed a driver for it when plugged in AND it shows USB on the bootloader screen when plugged in.
ok..,. let me see...
try installing olipro 2.40 again, it seemes that your phone is locked (olipro 1.06) so it can't run the dcd custom rom... reset and see if you can enter windows...
then if you enter windows normally, downgrade to olipro 1.20 and install the new radio, then, once again upgrade to olipro 2.40 so it can enter windows...
let me know if it worked for you...

Install another carrier's stock ROM (though to keep things easier avoid the Telus one as it doesn not include a radio ROM) and avoid letting it run any customisations after boot/screen calibration.
You are fine.
Here's the problem
OK. Here's the problem. I obviously misread the instructions on setting the unit back to stock as I just read them again and I realize my mistake. I did not load the stock ROM on first. I used the Re-lock program and re-locked my unit before putting the stock ROM back on. So I sitting at the 3 colour screen with SPL 1.06 and I have radio 3.27 on the unit and dcd's latest ROM on it. I can't get it past the 1.06 bootloader. I have tried a hard reset, I have tried the program above to exit the boot loader and it does not work. Is there any way I can get Olipro 2.4 back on or exit this bootloader???
just connect your phone to the computer (it's ok to be on the tri color screen) and install olipro 2.40 from the computer...
you just need to be sure that when you connect the phone in the tri color screen it says USB...
i'm attaching Olipro 2.40
No Dice
Nope. I had tried that already. I just tried again. When I run Olipro 2.40 the command prompt comes up and then come up with a window saying "Cannot Find Device" (or something VERY close to that). It then asks if you'd like to retry, clicking retry just keeps bringing up the same message. If you click "No" on retrying it will eventually move on to the next step and load up the flash program. It will then attempt to flash the unit (Grey screen with the status bar comes up) but it just sits at 0% and eventually comes up with a 242 communication error.
i had a similar problem yesterday when i tried to upgrade the radio form 3.42.02 to 3.42.30 and taht solved my problem...
so you basically cannot exit the bootloader mode?? even when you hard reset your device??
Can the unlocker be flashed from a memory card? Has anybody ever tried?

I would be interested to know if anyone on Bell has managed to successfully downgrade a 6800 to stock.
i thought dcd's new 3.2.0 needed a radio of 3.35 or higher to run and does not flash the radio when u flash his rom. Another problem with the phone not coming out of the bootloader is that you have to disable usb connections in active sync or windows mobile device center for the exit bootloader app to work. Try disabling the usb connection in whichever one applies for you and run the app again. If you can get out of the bootloader try to go back to ollipro 2.40 or use one of no2chems bootloaders as they work from the device and an sd card no need for a pc to flash the bootloader. once bootloader is unlocked again run a full radio/rom update like the sprint stock 3.35 easily found on htc's website under the titan (us version of the site). Don't let the carrier custimizations run ... the file that runs after u calibrate screen and set timezone just pull the battery. Then grab whatever rom / radio you want to or were trying to flash 2 before and name it put it on the root of an sd card (thats under 2gb and formatted to fat32) and rename the ruu_sighned.nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh hold power + camera and hit your soft reset button. The tri color screen will come up and should say loading then promt to hit the power button to flash and show u what u r flashing. cdma (radio). os (radio rom) or splash screen, or whatever you r trying to flash hit power button to start once done it will sit with update complete on the screen pull the battery out for about 30 sec and put it back in reboot and enjoy the custom rom or radio.

You can use nueSPL 2.47 to load the locker/relocker but you need to be booted into WM6 to do so. You need to reload another rom that uses the bootloader you have currently loaded and then you can move forward or backward.

My wife's usb port is dead. I charge the battery in the cradle but I can not get any data connection with the phone. It is the alltel ppc-6800 flashed to dcd's 2.3.1 and I really need to get it back to stock so I can get it exchanged. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
PS- I did a search and links would great if you know of a relavent post.
What bootloader do you have? 1.20 or 2.40? I don't think you can relock without it without USB. You flash to stock rom via Micro SD Card and relock via USB. That is how I did my VZW.
I believe it is using 2.40. It had been Feb since I tried to take one back to stock and things were a little different then. So I just load the stock rom on the card and reboot to flash it? Or do I need to do the radio then the Rom?
Anyone know if no2chem's relocker only works with his own bootloader? As far as I'm aware it'll work with any unlocked bootloader and it runs right from SD card.
If you are on 2.40, yes you can go back to flash however... Once the phone goes to sleep you can not tun it back on without resetting.
Can anyone post a link to the current rom that I can flash from the card. All I can find is the one that requires me to use activesync.
Thanks for the help everyone

nueSPL doesn't flash to nonGPS ROMs right? Correct me if I am wrong but this is a no go for Verizon and others. You would need relocker 1.06 to reload nonGPS stock ROM and therefore need activesync.
I don't believe you can use Bluetooth or IR, you will need USB to be working to install relocker SPL. Again, let me know if there is another way and I will start using it.
Going off this based on conversation in PPC Geeks forum and here involving no2chem.
You can flash back to Stock with Olipro 2.40 on it but if it goes into sleep mode you can not wake it back up. so you would need to uncheck the timer that allows it to sleep. Then exchange the phone hope VZW doesn't notice it. If you have the insurnace it might be worth the $50 to accidentally make it take a swim.

I updated my bootloader to SPL 2.47 and than upgraded my radio to 3.37.75 with success. After a hard reset the phone shows the splash screen with the new radio for a few seconds and then hangs up on the plain verizon screen. I can get into bootloader (I have reflashed about five times now and tried a few different radios 3.37.2 and the same issue remains) ????
Sounds like you have to add the rom now. So flash the rom image.

I think the same thing.
Just another observation way add the old Verizon radio. Why not 3.42.40 or 3.42.50?
Yeah I still had the stock rom installed. I expected it to function without the rom update. I am going to flash to dcd's 3.2.6. Which radio do you guys suggest for verizon?

For radios. You can't upgrade to a gps radio with a non gps rom. Sounds like a good way to brick your phone. Maybe read up before you flash again.
How do you establish active sync?
Plug the phone into a computer with activesync installed on the computer.
Never mind the active sync ? had to just take out the darn sd card
