what radio do you guys recommend to use right now. I AM running at this time rom 1.3.4 radio 3.42.40, and should I be changing my bootloader it's SPL-2.40.Olipro SPLD-9 my HD died on me so i have to restart all over now also, would some one point me to the links on how to do it ( i lost so much info.... ) i would like to try using 6.5 beta... please let me know i have VZW 6800
The 3.42.40 radio is for GPS ROMs so you should be good to go. I recently upgraded to the 3.42.50 radio and it is working great.

YEAH....but should i go to .50? or .40 is just as good>?
I say give the .50 a try. I came from .02 so the .50 was a big difference for me.

Here is the XDA Wiki for GPS ROM upgrading: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome I used nueSPL2.47 to unlock. Get PocketRAR if you don't already have it. Unzip to a 1 GB or less microSD card formatted to FAT32. nueSPL2.47 will check for all this. Just follow the instructions on screen.
nice!!!
thank you
hmmm

sorry telefragger!!! what do you mean by that?
Your device is already unlocked? Just flash the radio.
im having trouble flasshing my radio too. When i try it sd card way it says no image flle, and when i try usb way i get error 328 invalid commad, the update utility cannot be used with your PDA. i have a sprtin titan/ mogul im trying to update to radio 3.42.50. ive flashed custom roms with no problem what so ever.
Did you unzip the .rar file to the card?
The card needs to be FAT32 and 1GB or less.
Manually put the device into bootloader and follow any onscreen prompts.

I did unzip the file to the card. I have a 512mb and a 2GB card neither one works. I assume the cards r fat 32 both windows and mogul can read them.
how would i go about formatting them. I dont have a card reader in my PC.

Use HardSPL2.47, go thru the first few steps and it will check the format of the card, and if it's not correct it will prompt to format the card for you. So run it and if you get the screen showing that the card is fine, go ahead and exit at that point.
If it says the card is the wrong format, it will have an option to format the card. Let it format, then exit.
Also, make sure you have everything on the card backed up before it formats.

Also I believe I read somewhere than .40 is newer, or at least it was available to us after .50 came out based on which carrier released it.
I've been using .40 for close to a year and have never had any issues, GPS works great, battery lasts more than 24 hours, etc. So I know it's definitely a good radio, can't say the same for .50 as I only tested it for a few days. During that period of time I had no issues.
BTC
finally got it to work. had to use my printer that has a card reader bult into it to format the card to fat32. flashed my radio, and now rocking .50 radio TY everyone for your help.

As my xda has been working perfectly for the past couple of months I've decided to knacker it for a while and try to load ppc 2003. Trying to use wallaby 5.14 to write ROM from xda to sd card it all goes well untill I put the card into my pc, it seems to think the sd card is blank and needs formatting, back in the xda its the same thing, as if wallaby is formatting it. Now I could just stop mucking around and wait for the proper 2003 version... nope, too simple. Anyone got any clues?
i hope you did not try top open your sd car with the windows explorer ?
you have to use a specific software to read oyur SDcar as explained her on the site in the rom image tool secion.
only XDArit will ba albe to read and writ a rom on the sdcard.
No, I used XDArit, it says card needs formatting.

hi,
i have a t mobile ppc edition.i have a 512 mb sd card,and when i install programs on my sd card after 2-3 days all the programs are erased and it keeps happening.can anyone help me pls?
there is a problem with sd/mmc and multiple inserts/removals. Its a bug of WM200X and there is no fix for it. I unlock my sd card only when I need to change the data on it. Otherwise my card stays locked. Do a search on this forum for "Multiple SD" and "SD Erase". Good luck!

This bug only on wallaby's (XDA 1) running "WM2003 " it doesn't happen on WM2002.
I have an XDA 1 running 2002, and the SD card wipe problem also seem to happen to me.
I have an O2 Rom version 4.01.12 Eng.
According to this page: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_843287.aspx
the problem might be related when two or more programs try to access the same files, so the data becomes corrupted and apparently being wiped...
Anyone have a solution or a suggestion?
I tried to follow this thread for a fix (Rune quoting spadb): http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7230&highlight=sd+files
I can find in the registry a reference to a SD.DLL, but can't find it under file explorer, even when displaying hidden items.
Maybe one of you other XDA1\Wallaby users can find it in your device?

Should be located directly in the windows folder. i think you have to enable your device to see all files. Normaly dll's are hidden...

I've enabled my device to see hidden files...
Can you upload and attach that DLL please?

Can anyone else confirm this? :roll: i really dont like PPC2002 but i dont want a wipeout again...
I'm afraid I can't confirm that, I tried to format many times as FAT32 or FAT16 and I experience the same problems as before...
Try this patch, it worked with me 100% on my Wallaby device with no SD erasings since more than 3 months 8)
Use any registry program (Resco Explorer 2003 is great) to install the registry keys or enter it manually..
Don't worry, the patch is non-destructive at all !
( you can do a backup before running this patch if you wish :wink: )
i saw stefan has a much longer version of this. does anyone have any experience with either file? BTW should i even do this if i have never had the problem before?

Similar problem on XDA II
I have noticed a similar disease on my Qtek 2020 (XDAII):
When I run it with an SDCard 512 Mb there is no problem at all, goes perfect, but as soon as I put in a brand new 1 GB SD card it crashes within a day or two. And it is irreparable... I've sent back one card to the supplier, but now on my second try with a new card and after reading in this topic I begin to felle a bit coldsweating... :x
Anyone else who has specific experince of this on XDAII?
Yup. went to use navigator today and found my SD card was nor showing. Tried it in a digicam at work which crashed the cam.
In my card reader here format shows as RAW and am having a help of a job getting it reformatted.
I use the XDA II
I also face similar problem, what i used to do is just take my sd card out and re-insert
and it worked for me
removing and replacing the card has no effect for me.
can anyone help with formatting an SD card (1GB viking) that is "unreadable" in a card reader and in RAW format??
pretty please?!??
ok, before the flaming begins, I'm a noob and should have never even messed with this thing. ok, there, I said it.
alright, a month or two back, I upgraded my 6800 to the nochem 5054 rom. phone worked awesome, no problem.
I'm selling the device and need to flash back to the stock verizon rom. the only place I saw a link to the stock rom, the ftp was down so I couldn't download it.
so I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350539&page=1 and figured it sounded like a good substitute. I downloaded the exe and it installed. finished flashing and said that it was successful. only one little problem (and I've searched for an hour and haven't found the answer...)
it won't boot. it just sits at the HTC TITAN boot graphic. not the tricolor loader. I hard reset but still no fix. once I reset the phone it displays the cresent graphic with HTC TITAN at the bottom, then the little red parameters come up and this is what they say:
M09
H3B60B3FA
P DCAAXAM-4350
R 3.35.04
D 2.17
so, the phone won't boot and I can't get it to connect with activesync to try and reload that rom.
damn. What now?
You have a non GPS rom with the 3.35.04 radio, which is incompatible.
awesome. now I know the problem, I just need a solution.
and do you have any idea where to find a STOCK vzw rom? I guess I need a radio too.
someone please <sniffle>
Go to www.ppcgeeks.com There is a Verizon stock rom on the FTP site....find by clicking QLinks tab at top of page. Go to Titan folder and inside you'll find 'Carrier ROMs'...there is a Verizon ROM inside. Uploaded in March of this year...I don't know what version...I'm on Alltel. Hope this helps.
will I be able to execute that without my pda having an activesync connection though?
yeah, I just finished downloading the stock rom (THANKS) but I can't get the pda to sync up. I guess because it won't boot, it won't connect to my PC either.
what bootloader do you have installed?

how do I find out? I originally got buildos from ppcgeeks and I chose the 5054 option. I used some unlocker first, then I used buildOS and flashed the device.
is the bootloader in any of those parameters I put above?
Hold power, camera, and soft reset using the stylus while holding them, should put the phone into the bootloader.
It should say at the top:
TITA100 MFG
SPL xxxxxxxxxx
CPLD-9
Tell me what it says where the xxxxxxxx is.
SPL-2.40.Olipro
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have downloaded the titan relocker and also the correct stock rom from the titan wiki area, the 78MB on. I believe that has the radio too.
geez, I should have never messed with this thing, I don't even know what a radio is....
Ok this is what you need to do. Since you have the 3.35.04 radio and 2.40 bootloader you need to flash a 3.x.x GPS rom in order to be able to boot again. Unfortunately because you can't boot and establish a usb connection, the only way out of this mess is to flash with a microsd card that's less than 2gb. If you don't have one, get one. You'll also need a card reader as well so you can format it correctly.
1. Download this file It's a clean verizon 3.x.x rom and will allow you to boot again.
2. Format your microsd card using a card reader in windows as FAT32 using a cluster size less than 4 Kb.
3. Place the file you downloaded on the card.
4. Insert the card in your phone and enter the bootloader again.
5. The bootloader will say "Checking" then will prompt you to press the power button to begin the update. Press the power button.
6. When it's done, soft reset with the stylus and the phone SHOULD boot into windows mobile allowing you to get an activesync connection.
Now all you have to do is relock your phone using titan_relocker (follow instructions carefully and exact), then flash the stock rom and radio. Make SURE you relock though, and make sure you use the correct rom and radio this time.
ooops .... GC has you all lined up .....
az
well, rather than buy a card and reader, I thought I could shortcut by borrowing a card from someone, then I used my wife's 6800 to format it with pocket mechanic. I chose fat32 and 2K cluster size.
copied the file from my laptop to my wife's 6800 which had the card in it. popped it in my phone and went into the loader but it just says serial.
Is it necessary to have a card reader and format through windows? if it is, I will go buy one and do it that way. my buddies card is only 64MB but that's ok because the file is only 45MB.
let me know about the reader so I know if I need to run to the best buy real quick. wow, making progress.
Yeah you can't format the card using the phone. You also can't copy the file to it using the phone. Go buy a cheap one. You don't even need a card reader, you could use one of those sd to usb dongles and it would work fine. (If you choose to go this route, just make sure the card you buy comes with an sd to microsd adapter). Just can't do it using the phone.
ok, I got a 1gb card with the standard SD adapter.
I went to format it in my laptop and I used fat32 but it didn't give me a cluster option. it just said default allocation size and It was not able to be changed.
anyhow, formatted and copied the .nbh file over and turned on but it just says serial and does not look like it was reading from the card...

Go to the XDA-Wiki at the top of the page and click on it. You'll see all the HTC models...scroll down until you see the Titan model...click on it. Scroll about halfway down the page to the section titiled 'Tutorials'...you'll see a topic called 'Getting started with your Titan'...click on it. This will have a section on flashing via SD card. It explains how to format the card in DOS. For some reason many times when formatting thru windows stuff doesn't work...I have no idea why...but when you format thru DOS its almost failsafe. Good luck....make sure its in the root directory of your card and labeled TITAIMG.nbh

Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. Format a microSD card into FAT32 with an allocation unit/cluster size of 1024
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
That was in the Titan Wiki - You can use a DOS box to format, do not use Windowz Explorer....
I copy the nueSPL 2.47 exe over to a 1 gig SD card. Run it and I get the msg that the card isn't formatted. I elect to have the program format for me and get a partition error.
I know that this just puts the TITAIMG.nbh file on the card so it will load in bootloader mode.
I've tried all I know and searched many threads looking for a solution. Perhaps it's the Kingston card I have but does anyone else have a suggestion, or if someone has the TITAIMG.nbh file already if they could post it up I would be most grateful.
I have Olipro 2.40 / 3.42.50 and dcd 3.2.6.
Thanks in advance..
Not sure if this is the problem, but I thought that the instructions said to copy the file to the phone's memory and run it from there.
Thanks for reply - I tried that no matter how I run it it won't format the card same error every time.

No it gets copied to the storage card and ran from there.....not all cards work though.....do you have a card reader on your PC?......if so format it through the PC.....otherwise I suggest getting another card...or if you have it use the card that came with the phone....

Ahhh it's VZW they don't give you a card with the phone. Must be the card the only other card I have is a 4 gig SDHC. I was hoping someone would have the TITAIMG.nbh for it.
I know there must be another way to format your card from the pda. I was just about to check on freewareppc, when I remembered that I have no2chem's nuemassstorage installed on my device. it turns my pda/phone into a card reader. I actually formatted an sdcard the other day, cause I wanted to update the radio. check it out:

hey thanks for the tip! I'll try it out and see if I can get to nueSPL 2.47
Could someone please give me a heads up on why Hard-spl won't load on my att 8525. I am using the Hard-spl-v7 utility and it won't load onto my phone.
It keeps stopping after it goes into the bootloader and telling me my phone isn't connected to my laptop(running Vista home premium). Any help would be appreciated. I took a chance and used the original cingular WM6 upgrade, and ran the hermes SIM/CID unlock v3a(unlocked both). But Hard-spl still won't load. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks
I had the same issue but was unable to correct it. I still have Oli 1.1 instead of the 2.0 although I was using an ATT Tilt... Try using an older version of Hard SPL or make sure you phone is unlocked. Sorry if this doe snot help.
Use the sd card method found on page 116, post 1160 of this thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Just remember the sd card must be 2Gb or less and you have to have a charged battery..

UR da bomb
Thank you so much i knew i had seen it somewhere that this could be done, and i searched for it for 2 hours last night to no avail. I'll try it ASAP and see if it'll work.
Didn't Work
Went back and checked my work. It didn't work because i have a 4gb sd card. I'll see what i can do about that.
I found the thread on partitioning an SD card. If i make 2 2gb partitions will that work?
No, it has to be a 2Gb or less... 4Gb is sdhc and the bootloader doesn't recognise it. Even partitioned it is still sdhc.
Should be able pick up a 1Gb sd card for less than $10.
Cheers...
WORKED
Ok i bought a 1gb card from Waly world this morning and it worked. On to a radio update and maybe a cooked rom. Thanks for all the help.
