Stuck in bootloader, do i need stock alltel rom? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I attempted to update my ppc after attempting to fix mms, and everything went wrong. I started this thread yesterday on ppcgeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51416 & then http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51461
I tried to update to vetvitos black pill rom, not realizing it was a gps rom, and now when I start my phone, it has a PPCGeeks and PPCKitchen splash screen. At the bottom it says "No Radio"
I have an Alltel 6800 flashed to cricket. I have been looking for the answer for almost 24 hours straight now, and have not found one.
From what I've been reading, this is what I think ive learned:
The only way to get these roms working is with the Olipro 2.4 SPL on my phone, but the only way to get the Hard SPL on my phone is through activesync, which can't be done if i can't get into my phone. I don't think my phone is bricked, but I don't know where to go from here.
I think I need to reflash the phone to the stock rom (i think its 1.4) but I can't find it anywhere.
Can someone please help me?

just reflash with any stock one ... go to htc's site and you can download them there... the new one stock ones for alltel have GPS enabled on the radio too ... just dont let the customizations run when flashing to stock then flash to the rom of ur choice

Tried upgrading radio and now won't boot

So I did the HardSPL when I redid the phone a couple of months ago and lately it hasn't been getting service and just stopped altogether. So I looked to see what radio version I had and it said none.
So I proceeded to update the radio but I did not do the HARDSPL again as I already did it before. Well as I went through the whole process it said there was an error and told me to remove the batter. I did all this and now it won't boot up its just at the ROM screen or whatever with the three different colors.
How do I get it to boot up so I can get it to activesync and reimage it? I'm stuck and it just won't boot so I don't know what to do. Thanks
Oh and I've tried all the steps in getting by the bootloader by disabling usb and all that and it still doesn't work
I had the exact same problem yesterday ... connect it to your USB cable, and flash it with a STANDARD ROM, ie one downloaded from your phone's provider's site.
ie. We get our TyTNs through a local HTC distributor called Leaf Wireless. I downloaded the AKU3 rom from their site, and ran it. Reflashed my TyTN to their original AKU3 ROM, and after that I could reflash with whatever I wanted to
How do I reflash if I can't get it to activsync with mycomputer or don't you need to with a standard rom flash?
So I tried to do it with an original ROM and it gets to 12% done and fails everytime. How do I get this to boot back up normally?
If you go to the wiki it tells you how to do a rom upgrade off an SD card. I would try that route and re flash a ROM and radio that you know works, then take it from there.
Is all in the wiki.
Good luck.

Can you post a link to that wiki? I couldn't find the one you were referring to. Thanks
I have had the same issue and even though I still have gotten it to somewhat work I'm almost sure something is wrong and I will have to send it in for a warranty repair. Here are the steps I followed using the official 8525 rom download. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
After that Windows worked fine but still no radio (no gsm error). I downloaded the new radio only file off of the forums which didn't seem to work. I took my phone into the att wireless store and the lady reset my sim, somehow the radio started showing up and working.
I literally spent all day on this yesterday and it is hell. If you have any questions let me know I can guide you through it.
Check your pm's

HELP I THINK ITS BRICKED!! ill pay!!!

no my phone wont reboot at atll it turns on goes to a screen that says htc smart mobilty test only not for sale and in red below that it says no radio and doesnt go any further!!!!
please help me like seriously its not even my phone i need to straighten it out for him asap!!!!! i will even pay if some one can help me
press the power + camera + reset, load in the rom and radio, no need to pay, we're here to help! What is ur bootloader anyway ? is it unlock, stock rom ???
is that it because its not working is there any other method of hard reset?
i tried the buttons its not getting to the boot loader like at all , its unlocked using the titan unlocker and its just not booting up to any thing just that screen and the rom was 2.17 orignally then i flashed it to dcd's newest rom 2.2.1... then i steped it down to dcd 2.20 then i tried to flash the sprint 3.16 recent rom update and it got stuck at boot loader which was the oli bootloader which i think its called and i had to use exit_hbl and now its stuck. it will reboot but i still get that screen i mentioned before
i got to boot loader its says
TITA100
SPL-1.20.olipro
no wonder, you didn't follow instruction carefully, when you press power + camera and press reset , it should take you to tricolor, at that you can reload your sprint stock rom. Your phone is not brick yet
i just PMed you with my paypal info. Ill make sure your phone makes it out ok
thanks but if anyone its astrqnusx hed get money first i flashed the rom again it worked and then i tried to flash the radio and it just restarts and doesnt load at all??? its stuck at the mobilty screen???
what radio and rom did you use? I assume that you have Titan(Mogul) not touch
and after the radio i tried to reload the rom and it acted as tho it would work and is now stuck at the mobilty and i used now dcds 1.6.8 rom and the 3.27 radio... and now its really stuck maybe i should try the stock rom for sprint?
you are too rush on thing, you can't use rom 1.6.8 with the new radio, reflash back with stock rom from your vendor to get working condition. There is specific instruction if you want to load the radio
After you get back to your vendor (sprint/verizon) follow this instruction to flash new rom, don't miss a step http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667. Again, I see you have the touch, touch and mogul are two different device you can't use DCD or any rom here. You have Titan Phone right?
-my touch is fine thats a custom flashed rom from swiftblade and it works amazing with a radio update ive done alot of different things even reg edits
but the titan is just new to me
Is your phone working yet?
yea i got it thanks!
I'm having the same issue, but I cannot get back to the tri color screen. Any advice? I thought I followed directions pretty well, but apparently not.

I had the same problem flashing my mogal, it's not difficult to fix. take a deep breath, it will take a little bit of work but you can do it. flash back to rom 2.17 relock, then flash sprint official rom 3.35. Then run hard spl 2.40 then flash new rom, take battery out, hard reset should fix your problem. the relocker,unlocker and everything else can be found by searching xda and ppcgeeks.com
I had the same issue, resolved:

Need help with a VX6800

I read all the posts on upgrading the titan, and I think I might have been confused with posts for the mogul and the vx6800. I loaded the 3.35.04Radio Rom from the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376012, I let the entire installation go through, it actually setup sprint settings on the phone, then I loaded DCD 3.0.4.
Now everything says sprint I can make and recieve calls, but I can't get online. If I access anything online it says it can't Dail #777. I tried IOTA and that just errors out, I think thats for sprint too. I tried to flash the old radio back 3.27.00 but it only goes to 9% and spits out an error. I figured I could flash the stock back on, and then go back to DCD but I can't seem to flash backwards.
I'm not sure how to proceed from here? I felt confident, because I have used kitchens for my kaiser, and lots of different roms on my kaiser, but the TITAN is kicking my a$$. Any Ideas? I could really use some help.
you werent supposed to run customization on the sprint rom... I believe you have to flash to orginal rom then start over again. When you flash the spring 3.35 radio stop when you get to the (tap the screen) page when you first boot... then flash to dcd rom.
I just remember reading that flashing to orginal rom is easiest way to reset your phone settings to what they are supposed to be, When you ran the sprint customizations you changed phone settings you werent supposed to. You may want to search the forum a little to find another easier way to fix

AZCLOWN, that sounds like a plan!!! I like it. I'm downloading the the revert ROM now. Wish me luck. I'll fill you guys in later.
Got it.... Kinda
i folowed all the posts and got the original verizon rom installed then re did the radio skipping customization, reloaded dcds latest rom. booted up great! BUT there always a but... i cant get data, i get a PPP authenticATion error. its looking for a password. i read a couple of posts that said i should load the VZW rom again and place the phone in airplane mode. i dont know now.
Do you have your username and password entered in the network settings? All Verizon customers who upgraded to this radio and rom have had to re-enter that info.
Not sure if you have or not so I will included this just incase.
Goto settings/connections/edit existing connections
Keep hitting next until you come to the screen for the user and pass.
User.... xxxxxxxxxx(your phone number)@vzw3g.com
Pass.... vzw
He went back to stock radio, then went back up to 3.35.04 which usually clears out all settings. He can try manually editing the settings such as MDN and MSID in EPST, or he may have to call Verizon if he needs an A-Key.
no good so far....
I tried the ID and password from lllboredlll, then I went back to stock rom, which contains the old radio still the same thing, even if I try the ID again. I'm gonna call verizon. I gotta call them when I have a spare couple of hours.
Any other ideas? I tried #228 still no good! o well
You are going to need to call vz and tell them you did a hrd reset and need a new a-key.
You didn't have to flash back the second time, get the rom you want set up, *then* call them. They won't give you a hard time as long as they think you did a hard reset.
Good luck,your almost there!
IM BACK

Reverting to 1.95 Stock ROM

Hey guys,
With this 1.95 AT&T ROM, just a question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439346
- I had the HARD SPL and cooked ROM before this
- I then flashed to this ROM because I wanted to go back to stock for a return.
Is that it then? Am I good? Or do I have to continue to flash the Stock SPL as listed in the HardSPL instructions for reverting to stock?
I'd really appreciate any help guys. I need to know if this ROM 100% puts me back to the way I was before starting with flashing. Or is there something else I have to do?
NOTE: I posted this in the thread for the actual ROM, but because of a lack of activity in that thread, I was afraid of not getting a response. Sorry for any inconvenience.
When I returned my Fuze, I just flashed the stock ROM and left Hard-SPL and didn't get any static. They didn't check the bootloader or anything. YMMV, so you may want to revert back to Stock SPL if you think they would check the bootloader. Personally, I would feel confident with just the stock ROM.
Those clerks don't know chit unless it has to do with the iPhone.

i having the same pro flash and no luck with the radio wish i could get the stock radio back
The stock radio is in the Radio thread. Flash that and you'll be fine. As was said however, you shouldn't even need it as i doubt they'd even check that.
Hey thanks for the replies, guys! That's great.
That will probably work for my return. But, I also have my wife's phone which I'm going to flash back to stock and I just want to make absolutely sure that EVERYTHING is back the way it was when purchased. Also, just for future reference I want to know how to get all components back to normal. Where is that stock radio thread?
Any help on that? What else am I missing?
UPDATE:
It just occurred to me that I should have written down the ROM and radio version numbers before doing the HardSPL and ROM flashes to try out some cooked ROMs.
Anyway, I've got the stock AT&T ROM on there now, but how do I know what radio came with my phone? Is there anything else I should put back on there? I know they won't check but I just want to be thorough.
Thanks!
if in the US it had to be the 1.02.25.32 radio as i dont think it came with any others initially in the US. if u go to the wiki it lists all the stock roms and radios that came with the device.
huh??
So, if I now have that radio and the Original ROM am I all back to stock settings now?
I'm confused though. Because out of the box I did the following:
1. Hard SPL (File called: RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3)
2. NATF ROM 2.2
...then decided I wanted to go back and did nothing more than flash the stock ROM.
Without flashing back an SPL, how could I have still ended up with everything back to stock?

Did I brick my phone?

Hey All,
I just started working on my phone last night. I installed some 3.xxx radio, and a new ROM that I cooked up. The problem is I did not unlock the phone before I did it, so now I start the phone and it is stuck in a pre-splash screen. Does anyone know where I can get the stock Windows Mobile 6 ROM for it so I can re flash it and then re-cook it? Cause it has OBVIOUS signs that I tweaked it, so it would be hard to explain that it was something "A guy at circuit city" told me to do to get WM6.1. Please help!
Okay I need more specifics. What carrier are you working from?
Stuff
Verizion X6800 went from 2.04 radio to a 3.xxx and wm6 to wm6.1
Just flash your phone with Olipro from microSD card, then u can flash any ROM (exp DCD 3.2.6) also from SD card.

Make it easy on yourself. Flash a Telus or Sprint ROM over to your phone. THis will fix any booboo's. YOU MUST STOP CARRIER CUSTOMIZATIONS from runing. After this is done, reflash with nueSPL 2.47 like you did and then put on a custom ROM.
This is your easiest option.
If you want the hard route put your phone in bootloader mode and tell me line by line what you see. That will tell us at what state you are in if you really want to try to figure out what you did wrong.
Either way, let us know how it turns out.
Read here for steps:
More info
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
Its still messed up trying the other suggestions. Does anyone know where I can get the original. WM6 rom so I can try again. Or can I unlock it without it so I can load a ROM....also I don't have an SD card.
Thanks for all the help so far
