I'm so stuck like chuck..need some advice - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

**Posted at PPCG also.....
Hey guys just wanted to see if you can shed some light on my situation. I have flashed other TItan's before with no issues and then came this little butterfly.
I flashed it to Metropcs from stock Sprint ROM. Then I unlocked it using 2.47 SPL. This is where its a bit different for me. I have always used 2.4 to unlock, not sure if that made a difference this time.
Then I tried running the RELOADED ROM with no luck. Then I tried Ryans Cricket ROM with no luck. It starts with HTC and then when it goes to the next splash screen it gets stuck there for hours.
I even tried to put a basic kitchen together from PPCKitchen, but that didn't even work either...
I am all out of ideas.
I would give you specs, but I cant get into phone. I can at least get it into bootloader mode to load different ROMS.
Here is what I see when I soft reset:
Home splash screen
D 3.2.6
R 1.32.00
2.4 SPL????? **Tried this already and that didn't do anything. In bootloader stills hows 2.47...

Did you update your radio to 3.42...the ROMS you are trying to use need to have a radio of 3.35+
To get the radio....easiest way to do that, instead of messing with it alone...do the following
unlocker 2.40olipro/nuesp2.47--->stock ROM--> then custom ROM

you need to upgrade radio

You rom and spl are fine. Just upgrade your radio to something like 3.42.40 or 3.42.50

keeps restarting after booting up

Hello all
i need some help. just finished upgrading my mogul and it keeps on rebooting after a few seconds after it reaches the today screen. i have tried dcd 2.2.4 and 2.2.6 with same results.
i believe if i keep it plugged into the computer it will stay on. any help please!??!
thanks
I just had the exact same problem. Did you load any other software after flashing the radio and rom?
Unfortunately i couldnt find a solution that involved DCD's roms. I flashed to 2.4 2.6, 1.6 new radios but nothing worked. I had to use no2chems nuerom 2.0 buld 5044 which works great, but doesnt have the verizon specifics. GPS is good and its fast. If anyone else comes up with something please let us know as i would like to have some of that software back.
this has been posted many times.
most likely you do not have the new bootloader installed.

go here get the 2.40 bootloader and start over
thanks for the quick responses!!
first time doing all this, but nothing to hard i think in my opinion. you just have to get over the learning curve.
i used this guide: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
which bootloader should i use if that guide led me to the wrong one?
also where can i find the other rom?
thanks for the bootloader. i will give it a shot now
2. If you are using 3.16+ code then you need either:
>>>a. The reLocker if upgrading to the unofficial carrier released rom
>>>b. the unLocker (new) 2.40 if running custom built roms
you'll learn the terms eventually....
just an FYI
do a search on here and on google FIRST if you run into problems because most likely you'll not be the first to have the issue.
but if you can't find any answers most people here will be willing to help
just verified, i am already using 2.40
also im not new to forums... i am well aware of google and search tools. these forum websites are getting annoying with spam protection that half the time when i tried doing a search, it would not complete it.
i knew i was running a stock 3.16
did you have an old custom bootloader? you need to relock it if so then run the 2.40
if its like mine then when you relock it you will lock up on the bootloader and have to do exit bootloader to get back to the splash screen where it will lock again. I even flashed back to the stock rom and it relaoded. I think it may be an glitch in the s.27 radio personally.
i went from the latest stock to custom using the guide above. is there a need to relock it or do you leave it unlocked?
if you go from stock to custom bootloader and upgrading the radio 3.27 and a DCD rom you don't need to relock it.
you only need to relock for the leaked sprint rom
did you upgrade the radio too?
yes i used titan_radio_3.27.00
when i go into boot mood i get this:
TITA100
SPL-1.20.0lipra

Click to collapse
is this how it should be?
please and thank you everyone for your help!!!
that should say olipro 2.40
who is your carrier? sprint, verizon.......
my carrier is sprint

run the 2.40 spl and start over
okay so you want me to run the hard spl again and then dcd??? or should i do the titan radio 3.27.00 before dcd

stuck at HTC black screen after updating dcd

FIXED! Read below for details.
So i've been messing with my mogul for nearly 4 hours now trying to convert it to dcd's rom..and i've flashed it twice now and after it reboots from being 100% loaded it just sticks on the HTC black screen..I've read and read and searched and searched and cannot find a definite answer. Can anyone help?!
basics?
did you load the radio rom?
did you load the unlocker?
you may need to restart the phone to the boot loader and resend the rom
(press and hold camera and power and push reset button)
I did TRY and reload the radio and unlocker..now im stuck at the black htc screen where it says no radio though. bleh. i can't even get it back up and running. what do i do?
edit:
I'm at the multi color screen..ive tried running the unlocker RUU and then running dcd's ruu and it doesn't work..and the radio RUU does not run at this screen...I can't get the phone back to a working status! Argghhhh. It wont let me run the relocker unless im in activesync...but i can't be recognized in activesync unless the phone is up and functional..so..? how do i relock it to put hte stock rom on to try and unlock again?
I am kinda stuck in the same spot, but mine is is the verizon logo screen, i tryed doing the power,camera and hte reset button but its till stuck, i tryed the relocker but i need to be in active sync
any help?
what i dont get is..i flashed it with the unlocker, then the rom then the radio...isn't RUU just overwriting each one or something? it doesn't make sense to me. and all i can do is run RUU..i did the rom, then the radio and it was stuck in the bootloader so i used the exitbl and got out of it but then it just went back to going to the HTC black screen saying no radio. ..i'm gonna try and flash the rom from a sd card next..we'll see what happens..

This just happened to me after flashing the ROM but not the RADIO yet. Flashing the Radio fixed the problem.
I've flashed the radio..then its stuck in the BL and i use the program to get me outta it then it just keeps saying i have no radio! what the hell..this sucks. i'm in the worst possible situation to have to buy a new phone
There are three parts to the "operating system" of your phone.
1. Bootloader (also called locker, unlocker, re-locker, SPL)
2. Radio
3. ROM
The three components are saved in discrete portions of the device's memory. Flashing one does not overwrite the others. All three must be compatible for the phone to operate properly. If you stop the upgrade process recommended by the ROM compiler prior to completion, your phone may not operate properly. If you flash the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, it contains all three components.
To use the 3.16 stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on the stock OEM 3.16 ROM, you must have a level 3.xx radio and a level 2.xx bootloader. The current implementations of those are the 3.27 radio and either the stock bootloader distributed with the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, or the Olipro 2.40 unlocker.
If you are running a level 2.xx stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on a stock 2.xx OEM ROM, you must have a level 1.xx bootloader and a level 1.xx radio.
Custom ROMs are not always named using the OEM convention, so you must research the custom ROM to determine whether it is based on a level 2.xx or 3.xx stock OEM ROM.
I hope this helps all of you get your phones back up and running.
FIXXXED!
So heres the best description I can give of what was going wrong for me..Its my first time trying flash to a different rom..and well it didn't go so well. First, I used the titan unlocker, then installed the radio (not sure which one) and then some form of the newer dcd rom and i was getting stuck on the black HTC smart mobility splash screen where it said "no radio". I had to have messed around for over 5 hours today at college trying to figure it out by doing different arrangements what order i installed the radio and unlocker and rom in. I couldn't get it to connect with activesync so i couldn't use the titanunlocker.exe..all i was going off of was RUU's. Im not sure whether or not what OS I was using effected it..I was playing in Vista earlier today but had done the correct steps to install the drivers, and now this last time i did it on XP. This last time I ran the 3.27 radio RUU as found.. here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362563 )...Theeen I ran this form of the newer sprint ROM. (I'm pretty sure they say it comes with a included in this RUU, but i'm just stating exactly what I did) the .651 rom can be found.. HERE ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16806 ) He had a error when packing or something so you have to manually rename it to .exe because it was missing a e..I did this within winrar before extracting..ran that and about 10 minutes later it booted up and i've got service. I'm not going to promise that this is 100% functional all i'm saying is im out of that horrid black HTC screen where I can now go on to try and get the correct rom i wanted. Hope this helps..may be a bit confusing and probably did things wrong but this was my first time doing it all.

Stuck at Verizon Screen

Hey all,
Been trying just about everything to help a buddy out, but I've been failing repeatedly.
He got a brand new phone yesterday and found the XDA Titan Wiki to install the GPS enabled ROMs. He loaded SPL 2.4, then installed DCD 3.2.0. It got stuck at the Verizon screen when it restarted...then he apparently downloaded the Radio 3.42.30 to try and install that to get out of it (maybe thinking the Radio needed to be installed for it to get through). Now he's stuck at the White Verizon screen, and it says "No Radio".
Sounds like from when I read the Wiki he was supposed to install an intermediary Rom before jumping all the way to 3.2.0.
I've suggested using the Olipro SPL 1.2 unlocker, the Titan Relocker, several different ROM's and am at a loss as to how to fix it. He's still stuck at the Verizon screen displaying "No Radio."
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I went from stock to 3.2.0 / Radio 3.42.02.. no problems.
I have not loaded 2.42.30 (I prefer to use the radio version released by HTC for this device.. 3.42.30 was released for another device and ported.. although it seems to work for everyone.)
I HAVE read that for radio 3.42.30 you need SPL 1.20 for USB Flashing.
gc14 said:
Yeah 1.20 is needed to flash these radios via USB. Just need to put 2.40 back when you're done.

Based on that.. I assume SD flashing is ok with 2.40.

Yes! This is well documented.. a common issue.
If you flash the Rom without a compatible radio.. you will get stuck on the verizon screen... I suggest flashing the ROM AFTER the radio.. since you flashed the Rom already... when you get the radio working, Reflash the ROM.
Did you flash the radio via SD Card or USB?
Did it show a progress bar while flashing?
Let us know how your attempting to flash the Radio (USB or SD) With specific steps (held buttons X, Y, and Z.. saw this message, pressed this key.. saw this on the screen) .. and someone will let you know what you might be doing wrong.
Also.. dont forget to run the carrier cab when your done.. This is worth mentioning since it's the most common issue once the device boots and you cant program the phone, or make data / voice connections.

Can you get to the bootloader by holding down camera power and pushing the reset button? If so, you can flash the radio with the SD method found in the wiki. just put the radio on the sd card in the proper format and enter bootloader and it should correct your problem.
Can I suggest something to try? (assuming you have 6800)
1. Get the sprint release. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402887
2. in bootloader, load the sprint release by usb method. when it gets to having you touch the screen, soft reset.
3. In bootloader, load the dcd 3.2.0 rom (or any other rom).
4. Hard reset.
This should give you 3.2.0 rom and 3.42.02 radio.
Responses
Hey guys,
Thanks for the responses and suggestions.
1) At the moment he doesn't have an SD card aside from the SDHC, so he couldn't do that until he purchases one. Good idea though if nothing else works
2) When pressing the camera/power/reset he's in the SPL 2.4 bootloader screen, he's going to try your suggestion of downloading Sprints and upgrading.
3) I'll ask him procedurally what else he has tried, what error he gets for recording. No doubt you were correct about uploading the Radio before the ROM
I've actually flashed my phone exactly the same way he has so that I can try to experience the same problems, and try to figure it out myself.
Bingo
Hey,
The Sprint ROM .exe was the answer. Very smart, thanks again for helping us both out. Was getting a little nervous for about 2 minutes.
useful=helper++
I did the same thing. Thank you very much...saved my butt!

Please Help - Proper Steps to loading a cooked ROM

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.

HELP

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.
