I spent all day yesterday researching the DCD upgrade until I thought I was ready - boy was I wrong. I'm not computer challenged! I've been writing FW for over 20 years. Things shouldn't be this hard. Anyway, here's what i did:
1) Downloaded olipro 2.4 (except somehow I got 1.2 - not really sure how that happened). Installed it and everything was fine (expect it saysSPL-1.20.Olipro)
2) Downloaded DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe and tried to install. It appeared to work, except I never got to customization screen and when the phone re-booted, I just go the Alltel splash screen.
3) Tried to soft-reset, same problem
4) Tried a hard-reset, same result
5) Went into the bootloader and notice I was at 1.2 instead of 2.4, so I downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe (which I believe is the code name for Olipro 2.4) and tried to run it. The batch job fails because it can't talk to my phone (says no device detected) I suspect this is because the phone cannot run ActiveSync.
6) Then I read that 2.4 should be used for GPS ROMs and not for non-GPS, So I thought I needed a non-GPS version of the ROM. So I downloaded DCD_Titan_3.0.0_Alltel.exe and tried that. This also appeared to work (dl to 100% and the phone reset). But again the phone hung at the Alltel splash screen (now it says "no Radio")
7) I'm begining to panic. I trie to download the original Alltel ROM, but they've just put up a new version. So I try RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe. It causes the phone to reset after downloading 12%. Then stops with a "Command Error"
8) Finally I decide the bootloader must be hosed, so I tried to use the re-locker. Titan_Relocker.exe. This also will not copy the files (due to no ActiveSync) so I extract the files and try to run the RUU directly. Still no joy, the download immediately goes to 100% and when the phone resets it still says SPL-1.20 Olipro.
9) Searching a little more I found the microSD upgrade option. So I copied each of the NBH files (one at time of course) the the root directory and renamed them TITAIMG.nbh and reset into the bootloader (yes, I formated to FAT32 first). The loader never seemed to even ready the SD. It never asked if I wanted to upgrade.
So, here I am. Stuck with a phone that only seems to be able to run the bootloader. The BL does change between USB and serial when I un-plug and plug the USB cable. I can boot to the Alltel splash screen - it says "No Radio". The other red letters that used to appear when the HTC splash appeared are gone.
Any advice? I'm pretty desparate.

Pop Out the Battery for a minute
Have you tried popping the battery out for about a minute while its not plugged in yet?
Your problem is you didn't read the instructions carefully enough.
First, you never should have flashed a 3.x.x ROM without making SURE you properly had the 2.4 bootloader installed.
Second, you tried flashing a 3.x.x ROM BEFORE updating your radio to 3.35.04. It says in numerous threads as well as on the first page of the thread that NO radio is included.
What appears to have happened, is you have a 3.x.x rom installed with no radio, and the 1.2 bootloader which can't even boot 3.x.x roms.
My question to you is, have you ever unlocked this phone before or before all of this were you running stock? If you still have the stock bootloader installed and not 2.4, then you need to find the STOCK alltel radio AND rom. You then must flash the stock alltel radio, followed by the stock rom. All you need to do is plug the phone in with usb, manually enter the bootloader and run the RUU's for each.
Once you get your phone back to stock and it boots, only then continue on to reflash. Now, this is VERY important...DO NOT attempt to install any 3.x.x rom without first making SURE you have the new bootloader installed correctly, and second, running the sprint update to get the 3.35.04 radio installed.

Yes, numerous times. Sorryy I didn't mention this in my post.

Agreed, but what is done is done
Second, you tried flashing a 3.x.x ROM BEFORE updating your radio to 3.35.04. It says in numerous threads as well as on the first page of the thread that NO radio is included.
I thought the DCD_3.0.1_Alltel.exe image contained the radio. Obviously I was wrong.
What appears to have happened, is you have a 3.x.x rom installed with no radio, and the 1.2 bootloader which can't even boot 3.x.x roms.
My question to you is, have you ever unlocked this phone before or before all of this were you running stock?
I was running stock.
If you still have the stock bootloader installed and not 2.4, then you need to find the STOCK alltel radio AND rom.
I'm pretty sure I don't have the stock bootloader. It says SPL-1.20.Olipro
You then must flash the stock alltel radio, followed by the stock rom. All you need to do is plug the phone in with usb, manually enter the bootloader and run the RUU's for each.
I've tried the latest stock ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe but it re-boots the phone while downloading (@ 12%)

Now, this is VERY important...DO NOT attempt to install any 3.x.x rom without first making SURE you have the new bootloader installed correctly, and second, running the sprint update to get the 3.35.04 radio installed.
IF I get the phone back as stock, I doubt I will EVER try to re-flash it again.
Here's the link to the old Alltel Rom and Radio. http://www.htcamerica.net/support/ppc6800/software-downloads.html
If that doesn't work for you, you should be able to load up any of the older 2.x radios with an older dcd ROM, then upgrade to OliPro 2.4, then load the new Alltel Radio and Rom which you already have.
I've had this exact same problem (almost) except with Verizon (shouldn't be any difference whatsoever.) With the "No Radio" error messages and such -- and the key is the microSD flash. The reason it didn't recognize the image is (probably) because of the way you formatted your SD card. It can't be formatted in windows and work, you can't use a quickformat, and it has to be unconditional. The /x dismounts the volume so the volume is totally accessable. /a:512 tells it something about how many sectors to use or something -- idk -- but it works.
Open a DOS window (start, run, type "cmd")
this is your command:
format x: /fs:fat32 /u /x /a:512
Replace x: with the drive letter of your microSD card. Be sure of this.
Other than the drive letter type it exactly as is says.
1. Run the titan relocker.
2. Rename the stock alltell rom(s) as TITAIMG.NBH one at a time if there is more than one (radio and rom, unless they are together) and put them on your microSD one at a time (in the root directory.) Order shouldn't matter, but I ran ROM then Radio. Open bootloader and make sure it's not Olipro. The screen should pick up the image on the microSD card.
Flash, after 100% remove the battery, replace, and then hard reset.
These are the steps that I took with my Verizon issue and it worked perfectly.
Once this is done don't give up on the modified ROMs. Sometimes when I upgrade friends phones it won't let me go directly to 2.4 Olipro. I have to flash 1.2, then a 1.2 compatible RADIO and 1.2 compatible ROM. Then I have to flash to 2.4 unlocker, 2.4 compatible radio (usually 3.27) and then a radio 3.27 compatible ROM (pref. DCD 2.3.2.) After which, I can flash the stock Sprint 3.35 (without ever booting the OS) and then flash the DCD 3.x.x ROM.
Hope this helps you out --
I've tried the latest stock ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe but it re-boots the phone while downloading (@ 12%)

The latest stock alltel rom is a 3.x.x rom as it states in the file name...3.35.671.9
As I said before, you need the 2.4 bootloader to boot any 3.x.x roms.
If you have unlocked with 1.20, then you have a little more work cut out for you.
This is what you need to do:
Since you have 1.20 and you can't get an activesync connection, you need to first flash an old custom alltel rom (NOT the stock alltel rom). DO NOT flash any dcd 2.x.x rom as the poster instructed above as it also requires olipro 2.4. I believe if you search for dcd's 1.70 kitchen and roms you'll find one there. You also must flash radio version 1.40. THIS will allow you to boot up into windows mobile and finally get an activesync connection. Since you can't boot right now, your best bet is to flash both of these with the microsd card.
The next step is now that you can boot into windows and have an activesync connection, you need to RELOCK your phone using the titan relocker, follow the directions carefully...and if you get stuck in the bootloader after the relock, you need to use the titan exitbl application that will force you out of the bootloader.
If all is well you now should have olipro 1.06 (stock bootloader) back on the phone. Here's the catch, you won't be able to boot the 1.70 rom anymore...so now you must manually enter the bootloader (power+camera+reset) and NOW flash the stock alltel rom and radio again with the microsd card. Once you flash the stock rom and radio, you will now have the stock bootloader, stock rom, and stock radio.
Now just unlock with olipro 2.4 and MAKE SURE it is on there correctly. Then run ROM RUU_TITAN_ALLTEL_WWE_3.35.671.9_RS_TITAN_03.37.20_ Alltel_2.01_AM_PPST_Ship.exe which DOES include the 3.37.20 radio as it also states in the file name. After that, you are free to flash a dcd alltel rom, as you will already have the proper bootloader and radio.

excuse me, but if you read my directions in order, that's not what it says to do in the section about fixing his current situation.
AND,
If you carefully read what I had to say about future upgrades:
"...Then I have to flash to 2.4 unlocker, 2.4 compatible radio (usually 3.27) and then a radio 3.27 compatible ROM (pref. DCD 2.3.2.)"

Thanks dizwayney. This was the link I needed. From here I was able to re-flash the original Alltel 2.14 ROM and radio. It is back to it's old self (well - except for all my data).
Oddly enough it still says SPL-1.20.Olipro for the bootloader. Oh well, as long as it boots I really don't care.
One other thing I learned during this adventure. You can't flash form a 4GB microSD, it must be 2GB or less (in order for the 512 byte allocation to work). If I'd known this earlier it might have saved a lot of time.
Again, thanks to everyone who responded.

hi, i just got the XV6800 from verizon today because my Moto Q9m died after only 7 months. so they gave me this for it. now after reading the forum and many other sites and tutorials. i am ready to flash my phone. is this the easiest "[Tutorial] Verizon xv6800 Custom ROM Flashing" to follow? i read it and it didn't seem that bad. just wanted to know and make sure if the names of the files he speaks of are the most recent one's. and i take it i should back up my factory setting file off the phone before i attempt to do this. a few of my friends at work has this phone and i liked the fact they have it doing somethings the iphone does. like you can scroll through contacts by just sliding your finger and all. i would like to do this stuff as well. is that all then included in the flash or must i install other apps.
Phone has
Software Version: 2.09.605.8 (ROM version)
Firmware Version: 1.30.60 (radio version)
please help, really appreciate it
thanks
His guide is pretty good. Everything is up to date except for the SPL. I would recommend using the latest bootloader put out by No2Chem - version 2.47, but that's my only change from his guide. It installs via an SD card only, whereas his guide uses the computer to get Olipro's 2.4. You should be able to find a guide to using SD cards to flash as well as links to 2.47 throughout this forum and ppcgeeks.
Or you can certainly follow his guide as written and you'll be just fine.
Ivan
Keep in mind that using No2chems SPL you cannot go back to stock Verizon radio and ROM..... So if your phone breaks, you have to bring it in as is and chance they don't notice the difference.....
ok on the fact that once you go new flash you can't go back to factory. so before i do this i should back up my contacts. since the phone is new i don't have anything else on it. is there anything else i should back up either? so after its flashed then how do i get the programs on to scroll by just sliding? is that stuff that can be put on with out flashing this. but from what i read on here flash makes the phone run much better anyway

You can flash the old bootloader back on the phone after upgrading to 2.47 though then go back to the original ROM and radio, you just cant flash provider ROM from 2.47 just like you cannot from 2.40.
Am I missing something about what you are saying?
so i can flash to newer rom and be able to go back.. now i'm confused
if you i install themes must it be a new roM

I'm pretty sure he's simply saying: if you use No2Chem's 2.47, you can't directly flash back to Verizon's stock firmware, but if you flash back to the old bootloader (factory bootloader), you can.
and LilSnoop40, as far as I know, all of those files are the most up-to-date that I could find. I may update the guide because I am noticing (from other people's experience) that after the 3.42.02 firmware (which I flashed to, not 3.42.30), that you need to use a Low-density MicroSD (not MicroSDHC) card to flash on the new radios.
If you need help with any of this in more detail, feel free to contact me.

serfs - As I understand it, once you flash to No2chems SPL, you cannot go back to a non GPS rom. I asked this in his thread and it was confirmed. Now, they didn't say whether you could flash Olli Pro and then use his re-locker and then flash the stock ROM.... Look at this post....

OK I received a brand new xv6800 from Verizon today. Haven't even activated it yet. Wanted to update it first. So i downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and ran it. I get to the boot loader screen and it reads 2.40. Then the directions state disconnect cable and reconnect. I do that and the boot loader shows that it is connected via USB, however I cannot get a new activesync connection unless i restart. But when i restart lose the 2.40 bootloader. and the update errors out. I have tried the titan exitbl file but it cannot find the usb connection.
What am I missing?? Do I need to go the SD card route (dont have one yet)
My bootloader is 1.04
Any help would be appreciated
Don't worry about activesync after you replug it in. Just keep following the instructions. As long as when you plug it back in, it says USB at the bottom, just keep going.
Ok that sort of worked. Now im stuck at the 2.4 bootloader screen Fun stuff
You can run the fix from here.
The same fix is probably posted here too I just don't know where.
Thanks ran that again and it worked so I am back in business. Since you happen to be here any suggestion on which kitchen and radio to install
See this post. It worked for me.
Im working on radio and got it from your link but there is no link in the post to a kitchen i was going to downlod the latest one fromt eh lifesnotgood link which is called "dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2.rar" that should work right?
I have never used DCD. I use ppckitchen.org. You may want to consider just loading a custom ROM first unless you know how to install and use a Kitchen already. Sometimes it is easier to flash a prebuilt custom and get your phone working, then start cooking and flashing your own.
With the ppckitchen you don't have to do carrier cabs, you just select your carrier in the kitchen.
OK i really appreciate all the help and I know i sound like a total noob but went to ppckitchen and everything i see is a kitchen i dont see a full rom, what am i missing
They only have the kitchen to make a ROM. belive DCD has some custom ROMS.
Thanks for all your help all installed and running, now just need to activiate with verizon
'Have a li'l question about updating to Olipro myself...
I could've swore that b4 I'd upgraded to Sprint OEM ROM v3.56.651.0, I could update to Olipro v2.40 via SD. Now, however, I'd had to do so via USB. Am I mistaken? Can you not use the .nbh file in the .exe pkg? I like bein' free of HAVING to use a desktop to accomplish PPC tasks.
Thanks, Everyone.
Just download DCD's 3.2.2 ROM on the 1st page of his post. He has a kitchen AND a ROM.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407376
As for using NueSPL 2.47, DO NOT use it until No2chem has finished his research on downgrading XV6800's.... While it has distinct advantages over olli 2.4, he's not sure about downgrading the bootloader to 1.X versions..... That is if you ever have to take your phone into verizon for service....
Before I start I did searches and looked at all the posts that apply to this situation and could not find anything. After spending many hours searching decided to try posting.
Situation:
I have a Verizon xv6800 that I am trying to update so I can have GPS. The first thing I did was to flash the OLIPRO 2.4 ROM. After the flash was complete everthing seemed OK but the power button no longer worked to turn the phone on. Also if you called the phone it would not ring.
The next thing I tried was to use an SD card to load nuespl 2.47. Again everything seemed OK but the power button still did not work.
Then I loaded OLIPRO 1.2 ROM and now everything seems work perfectly including the power button.
The boot screen verifies that the OLIPRO 1.2 is loaded.
Now I am confused as to which radio I should be using since the "Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!! " post said not to use OLIPRO 1.2.
Can any body tell me the next steps I should do to get an upgraded radio?
Please make it simple since obviously I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks for any assistance.

Ok no worries about the newbie thing. We all were newbies at one time!
First it sounds like the 2.40 flash did not completely go well. So since you are back to 1.20 I would upgrade in this order:
1) First update your radio to 3.42.50. This is the latest radio and seems to help with phone service issues. At least that is what I have seen. You will need the RUU install files so I attaching RUU.zip for this. Unzip this and then when you download the upgraded radio drop that file into this directory and then flash. If successful your phone should display 3.42.50 at boot time.
2) Next upgrade to 2.40 of the unlocker. I am attaching the install I use, so unzip the file and then run it to install/upgrade your phone. If successful your phone should show 2.40 when done.
3) Now you are ready to persue a ROM or kitchen that is GPS capable. There are many of them. I am currently using DCD's 3.26 kitchen but No2Chem also has a 5067 kitchen that is very stable. If you have questions about this process do not hesitate to email me at [email protected].

I did step one and everything seemed OK. Took several minutes with progress bar and exited normally. The boot screen indicates 3.42.50 as per instructions. But now the phone gets stuck at the white verizon screen. Should I proceed to step 2?

Move on to step 2. Quick question...is the current ROM the stock VZW ROM or one from XDA?
Steve
Actually he gave you the instructions backwards. (Tho his method may work, it's just not what the Wiki says to do) You always update the bootloader first, then the radio, then the rom. The new radio requires a new bootloader (hence why it's locking up), go ahead and reinstall BL2.4, if that doesn't work, see if you can find an older non-gps radio, and flash it via the SD card. Once you get back to either an old bootloader and old radio, or a new bootloader and a new radio, then you will have better success getting the rom flashed.
You were fine actually with your original 2.40 install, it will boot once normally, however as soon as it goes to sleep or you turn it off it won't turn back on, a soft reset will get it back up, but it will keep crashing. So at that point you can flash the radio and ROM from the Bootloader screen.
If you can get 2.40 (actually get 2.47 if you can, worse case use 2.40 and upgrade the radio and rom to the new version, then run 2.47 from the pocketpc and it will update you to 2.47 (I just did this yesterday).
So reflash to 2.40 if you can, otherwise do some searching for an old radio (non-gps) and flash it.
Then go back and re-read the wiki, it tells you that you have to flash the bootloader, then the radio, then the rom. It's always in that order for a first time flash. Once thats all done, any future updates should only require a single flash (for radio or rom).

The issue with reversing steps 1 and 2 is that the Olipro 2.40 does not allow the ability to update the radio ROM. You have to back down to 1.20 and then do the radio. That has been the case for the last two radios I have upgraded to. So that is why I put it in the order I did.
Steve
Ah ok, well, I had 2.40 installed for over a month and have updated my radio 3 times (tho I did it via SD card), I assume you meant it doesn't work via USB (and I remember now seeing posts that talked about that)
I stand corrected. His way should work. Just the phone will not boot properly until all 3 items are updated to GPS compatible files, BL 2.40+ Radio 3.42+, Rom 3.x. Prior to all 3 being updated tho, you should be able to flash from the bootloader, so boot into it and flash from there until all 3 are updated.
Once all 3 are flashed, your phone should work normally.

Yes via USB since SDHC cards are not supported and I do not have a regular SD card. I really should buy one...they are cheap now.
Steve
I reloaded the original radio using a sd card and now the phone works again. Can I load OLIPRO 2.40 using a SD card? If so how.
Thanks
Ken
Not that I am aware of (tho I don't know everything....), I flashed 2.4 from my PC via activesync, let it reboot, and then had to run out and get a flash card and flash card reader (in order to format it correctly) then was able to flash the radio, and then flashed the rom via Activesync. (I just remembered that I had to flash my radio from SD card, I had completely forgotten until I stopped to remember why I bought the memory card reader)
If you have it working with your old rom, then I would copy 2.47 BL over to your phone in windows and run it, it will flash the bootloader for you (tho it requires a preformatted SD card (not SDHC)). It will offer to format it for you if you can't get it formatted correctly yourself. If it's already in the right format, it doesn't have to be empty as it will just copy the file, reboot, and delete the file automatically. If it's not in the right format and you have stuff on it already, copy it off to your harddrive, then put it back in and it will format it for you. Once it's formatted correctly, it will still work normally in the phone and on your PC, so it's worth it to get the SD card into the right format.
Once 2.47 is installed, boot into BL mode (camera, power and reset button), and then do the rest of the flashing over USB. It will auto-reboot after each flash, so keep going back into BL mode until after you get the rom flashed. Then let it boot normally, LET IT RUN CUSTOMIZATION (pending you are installing DCD's rom) If you are installing another carrier's rom, then never let customization run (unless it's your carrier). Once customization is done running, install your carrier's cab file, this is pretty important or the phone won't properly work, I would do one more soft reset and at that point your phone is all ready to go and you can set it up, and install your programs.

I wish I had known that the power button wouldn't work untill all three steps were complete. Because of that I got concerned that I may have screwed up the phone and started trying all sorts of things to fix it (probably making it worse in the process).
Now that I know how to get back to the original ROM & Radio if something happens I will try again to get the GPS working.
Thanks Billy the Cat and stevefxp

No problem. I was like you the first time I started to flash my phone, I had just gotten the BL installed and then had to leave, my phone wouldn't stay running so my wife got extremely mad at me because she would call and since the phone wouldn't turn on it would go to VM. It took me a while to get her to appreciate my phone again, til then it was "A huge waste of money" in her opinion.
Since then tho, I have shown her the great features of being able to search for an item on ebay when we are at an auction to get an idea of a item's value before bidding, been able to take pictures and email them to her at no cost (old phone was $.25 per message), and having the GPS makes it much easier to find some of these remote auction locations we go to.
So after all that, shes not screaming at me for buying the phone anymore, tho she still isn't happy I spent the money. Oh well, she fritters more money away than I do, so I don't have a problem buying something that will last me for 2 years with the amount that shes frittered away in a week many times.

I am still having the same problem with the white Verizon screen. These are the steps I took.
1. Reloaded the original radio 1.30.60 using the SD card approach
phone worked
2. Reloaded the original ROM 1.6.7
phone worked
3. Loaded nueSPL-2.47 using the sd card
Red/Blue/Green screen had:
TITA100
SPL-2.47No2Chem TITAN SPL EVT
CPLD - 9
4. Loaded radio 3.42.50 using the SD card
Verizon white screen has
M 09 P DCAAXOM - 4350
H3B60775B R 3.42.50
D 2.17
The phone now still hangs at the white Verizon screen. I really thought I knew the process but clearly I still do not understand something.
Any help??
every thing is ok, load a gps compatible phone rom like dcd 3.2.6 using the cd card method and it will work after that
I have the 3.2.6 kitchen downloaded from DCD1182 but I can't find the nbh file unless it is the RUU_signed.nbh file and I just have to rename it to TITAIMG.nbh
If that's not it where can I download the 3.2.6 nbh file.
Thanks

That is it.....
You guys are great. The phone is working again and has radio 3.42.50 and ROM 3.2.6 on the white screen so I guess everthing is correct now.
I also loaded the Verizon CAB to get internet and reprogrammed the phone with *228
I have one last question. What happened to the battery indicator in the upper right hand corner?
I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me. I read all the instructions but knowing nothing about what I was doing there is some information that would have been very helpfull if I had only known.
1. If you get in troubble you can reload the original radio and ROM to get the phone working again.
2. You really need to complete all the steps before you can expect the phone to work properly. I kept trying to test the phone at each step to make sure that it still worked. This approach got me in all kinds of trouble.
3. Don't panic if something doesn't seen right just ask the experts on this board. They have a wealth of knowledge on how to get out of trouble.
4. Make sure you have a micro SD card on hand before you start.
5. While it didn't answer all my questions read the WIKI flashing documentation completely before you start.
Again - thank you everyone for helping me to get my phone upgraded.
Ken
you can get the battery by changing the registry.
hklm/software/microsoft/shell/showtitlebarclock.
not sure what all the setting do. mine is set to 0 and i have the battery icon.
alternatively you can use htc home customizer to change the value for you.
I currently have a Verizon Wireless fully flashed to cricket XV6800. I decided to know about hacking the Mogul so what I try to do was Look up WMDC 6.1 and apply it to my phone. When i did this the screen stopped at 11%. I took out the battery and tried to turn it on and i get a Red, Green, and Blue color on the start up screen. The words that are on the phone are TITA100 SPL-1.20.Olipro and on the bottom it says USB when connected and Serial when not connected. I looked every where to and figure it out how to get my phone back to the same way. I downloaded so many programs like Titan Unlocker, Titan exitbl, but all these programs do is say my phone is not connected when it is connected. I hear the Sound when the connection for the USB is connected and disconnected. What can i do Will i ever get my phone back to the same state that it once was. I was wondering also that since my phone was flashed that the software will be erased. Is there any way that I can get my Cricket Service. By the way before i did all the hacking what i did was back everything up on the memory card. Is there a way I can restore that through the phone even though i cant access the menu?
I'm going crazy--Thank you for your time to read and for those who can give me some word of advice or some way that my problem can be solved.
Thank you
if u are using xv6800.. i believe u have to install bootloader 2.40 or 2.47.. maybe that might be the problem when installing wm6.1
First, your phone is not bricked.. bricked means broken.. unfixable.. a brick!
You also need to let us know what you software you want to run... DCD 3.2.6?? WMDC 6.1 is Windows Mobile Device Center.. it's not a rom?? So I dont know what you tried to flash.
You need to read the instructions!! Sounds like You upgraded your rom (or tried to) with a non compatible bootloader.. if you dont want to bust your $200 - $500 phone perminently.. you should read the directions twice.. (I read them 4 times, then asked questions before the first time I flashed mine)
When you plug in the device and hear the usb sound.. check device manager.. make sure you see a usb device.. Your OS shoul have installed drivers... Then try the info below.
scrosler said:
1. Download OliPro 2.40 and run it. Ignore the part that asks you to verify the Active Synch connection. Its not needed for anything but a connection confirmation.
2. After running OliPro 2.40 you should be stuck at the three color bootloader screen, Like you are now. If not hold Camera and Power and use stylus to put phone in bootloader. Make Sure it says OLIPRO 2.40 for the version on the bootloader. If not then re-run oliupro and make sure to follow the directions. Especially noting that it asks you to disconnect then reconnect the device.

After that you can Flash a Radio, then a rom (I recommend the SD method)
And the versions in my signature.
You can get the SPL 2.40 here:
http://www.lifesnotsogood.com/dcd1182/titan/spl/
You should also read this WIKI
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanProblems
If you cant flash SPL 2.40 you will need to flash back to a ROM compatible with SPL 1.20
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
I'd try to grab one of thoise older Roms and flash using SD card method.
Then from within Windows Mobile (on your device) Upgrade bootloader to 2.47 (Available from the same link as 2.40 above)
Then flash the radio and rom version I have in my signature.
And dont forget to install carrier cab.
I can't seem to connect my xv6800 to the computer so I can run that program.
I plug it in and the sound comes up and I run the program but it says that it can't copy to device.

Then you need to get a Rom and radio compatible with SPL 1.20.. You'll need a SD card thats Equal to or less than 2GB (NON SDHC)
Check the compatibility here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133
Read the instructions for flashing this here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TITAN_GettingStarted
Check the Flashing with a SD card section.
Process is the same for the radio and the rom.
I cant seem to find an available rom that you need though.. I'll post back when i do.
Unless someone else has a trick for you...
You can also try a another machine that may recognize your phone.
What did you actually try to flash your phone with, and how did you do it.. this is important to help you.
Download DCD 1.6.10 and flash it to your device with the SD card method (Instructions and links in my previous Post) I couldnt find the rom, but I downloaded the kitchen and cooked a rom that should work for you.
Download it from my webserver here:
http://x51.nx-1.com/TITAN/Roms/
Remember you need a proper SD card for this.. if you don't have one, you'll need to buy one.
After flashing this rom.. Assuming your radio is compatible... You should boot into the OS (forget making calls or getting data connection) Just download SPL 2.47 and execute it on your device.. once the SPL is upgraded, Flash the newest Radio, flash the newest rom, run the carrier cab, install aplications..
Let me know if you run into trouble.
okay so what I did was cook up a ROM and then added the Radio 3.37 from alltel on it. I restated the phone and waited the windows mobile 6.1 load screen did not change I moved my keyboard and the sound functioned. I did a restart a hard reset everything I believe it is something with the rom. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Okay what i have done now is loaded my own personal ROM and then added 3.42.02 Radio to it. The only problem with that is that it keeps restarting and restarting its really weird. Is there any way that i can fix that?
Thank you

do you have one of the correct bootloaders? because just flashing to a custom rom and adding a new radio doesn't give you the bootloader that you need so you have to have that too...you can check it by holding down the power button, the camera button and inserting your stylus into the soft reset hole at the bottom of the phone and to get back out of it just do a soft reset but it needs to be be either 2.40 or 2.47 not 1.20 or anything else

if you now have the correct bootloader and radio...try flashing with a pre-cooked rom like dcd 326 or the rom from the links that i gave you...the popular one was the black pill and there is one that's specifically for cricket
do I just google that build number or is there a specific program I should download?
Thanks

I included links, and all the information you would need.. (Like the Rom/Radio/SPL compatibility list) yet you didn't read it.
I spent time finding those links, downloading a rom.. cooking it for you, and uploading it to my webserver so you can download it.

I also explained that once you boot into windows with that rom, you need to upgrade your bootloader to 2.47 (with instructions) and then your radio, and then rom.
The path was simple..
Flash dcd 1.6.10 (compatible with SPL 1.20) so the phone will boot
Upgrade SPL (bootloader to 2.47)
Flash new radio (3.47.50)
Flash new Rom (3.2.6)
Run carrier cab.
If you are still asking about where to get the (SPL) bootloader.. I guess I cant help you....
