Hey, first post here. I've tried searching for people with similar issues but I couldn't find anyone. I got my Cingular 8525 yesterday and I am trying to upgrade to WM6. I followed the guide on flashing it to Hard SPL v6, since I have SPL- 1.06 and I can't seem to get past the screen where I have to choose which bootloader version I have. Mine is not listed on there, and it won't even let me choose some of the other options. I can only check "Is this Hard-SPL?" and the "Force Ussing SPL" option. I thought about upgrading to SPL1.04 then to 1.4, but I am not sure as I don't want to brick my phone. Any suggestions? Thanks. Sorry if this has been covered once again, but Ive been looking for about 2 days and can't seem to find it.
Here is part of a guide written by Mrvanx. Following the guide is highly recommended. You should use the sspl option. It will load SSPL by Des which will in turn load Hard SPL V6 to your device. Good luck flashing!
The autodetect button didn't work for you??? You should be able to use the Force option to upgrade to oli's SPL and you should have no problem. If you're unsure, follow this guide: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/HardSPL.html
Also, there's lots of great info here in general: http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/
Thank you. The version I was looking at www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/black/HardSPL.html
told me something else. Thanks for your input. I'll flash it right away.

I grey out the options to make it clear what to click on... and the universe throws it back in my face and just creates an even bigger idiot.
oh well, no hard feelings, good to hear you figured it out.

good stuff....what flavour of WM6 and which radio??
Newest Radio 138.00.10.. and of course I had to go with Black 2.0... Just the issue on roaming right now... came across it on here before, so i'll figure it out...
Okay.. well now I that it's all flashed i connected to the internet, but i can't send MMS. I tried putting back the factory settings listed here
https://www.cingular.com/support/setupOTW.do
but Black 2.0 doesn't seem to have a media net button and it won't send any mms.. any suggestions. I think I might have to downgrade back to WM5 get used to it and then possible come back to WM6... thanks.

Forget the settings on cingulars website, they assume you are running a cingular rom.
Search the wiki page and there will be a .cab file to install the settings.
Either that or enter them manually. There are plenty of users running Black 2.0 on cingular
I'm sorry but i really need help...I've searched a few forums including yahoo and google and i do find olipro 1.20 but always for other phones like hermes and trinity but not the titan...I previously had one of the gps roms but it didnt include mms and so i went back to my original custom rom but now im stuck with the 2.40 bootloader...I have tried to no avail to find it because i didn't want to bug anyone for help but now im in a corner...can someone please help me..thanks in advance

What's funny is as I was typing "he" I thought to myself, this might be a she....but then I was too lazy to look back at your screen name.
Always nice to have a chick among the geeks. LOL
What happened when you tried to flash back to the original bootloader (relocker)?
Wait.. so if I have Olipro 2.4 and want to go back to 2.xx based roms I can run Olipro 1.2 to downgrade? OR: Do i first need to relock, then patch with 1.2, then reflash to 2.xx rom?

Try running the relocker and then running the old unlocker (the 1.xx, not the 2.40) available in the thread pointed to in Geckotech's first post in this thread; it should work without the need to reflash the ROM. If you get stuck in the bootloader, run the exit-bl.exe.
Yesterday I got frustrated as well. I ran the re-locker and called VZW and worked out every issue until my phone worked perfectly.
THEN I flashed to the 2.4 bootloader, flashed the unauth'ed Sprint 3.16 Sprint ROM (and since I have Verizon I made sure it did not let it boot up and run the customizations), then I loaded my cooked DCD 2.3.2 ROM.
All is well and working great now. YEAH!!

The unlocker that Geckotek's post pointed to is in a zip file. You need to use an unzipper to extract the .exe file, then you can run it.
If you do not have an unzipper, look for pkZip, Winzip, IZArc, or 7-Zip. There are others, but these names came to mind.
edit: When you originally installed your first custom ROM, how did you unlock the phone? That unlocker, if it is still on your computer, should work again after you relock.

thanks i understood all of that and i really appreciate you guys trying to help but i actually figured out what was going on...i updated my pc with the newest .net version 3.5 and as soon as it finished i double clicked the titan unlocker and it ran perfectly...guess my computer needed to be updated...i hadnt done that in awhile since i got the phone as a christmas gift and have been sooooo entranced with it that i neglected my pc lol... everything went smoothly and it's all working like it should now...power button included...hope you guys have a great week...well one more day and its the weekend

I tried it,it worked,thank you.
that link to the prior forum topic only lets me have 1.10 from the download. or is 1.2 buried a little further in? Thanks!
whoa, you got your power button to start working again? How did you do that exactly? Was it just the .Net 3.5 update? I find it so annoying that my power button doesn't work. I have to have S2U2 come up when i hit the power button just so the phone will wake up when i hit it again.
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

I called VZW and I was on the phone with them for exactly 2 hours, after getting hung up on twice.... Thay actually had to ask me where I was located, and reset a switch where my connection was "stuck" After that I reloaded the radion, without customization, and then loaded DCDs rom....ITs all good now!!!!

Hi!
My ROM of choice is EnergyROM 'Warhawk' (SYS 23016) ★ | Built Aug 11 | w Manila 2.1! Whenever I try to switch from TF3D to Windows Default (Titanium), it will work for a while but over some short time, the text on the today screen will start to smear and then it affects the START menus as well. If I go back to TF3D, it works just fine. Anyone else experience this?
I have the Fuze:
EnergyROM Warhawk
Radio: 1.14.25.05
Protocol: 52.63.25.34H
I've done hard resets before and after flashing too.
Thanks!
Sounds like you're just getting a bad flash every time. First, I see you've done hard resets, but what about flashing it again? Also, try downloading the ROM again. It might be corrupted. It only takes one bit to be off, and you can see all sorts of spectacular problems.

I've flashed his roms on the day they come out the last 2-3 times. I've always done hard resets before and after it and even went to the radio he suggested. As far as my phone, I don't think there is a thing wrong with it. I may try another cooks' rom but not sure which one to try even just to test it. I kind of like the Titanium but just can't use it.
Here's my recommended procedure:
Back up your PIM data, if needed.
Remove HardSPL.
Run your service provider's ROM installation.
Install HardSPL.
Download the ROM (YES...DO IT AGAIN)
Flash the ROM (AGAIN).
Hard reset when you get to the screen alignment.
Yes, I know I'm yelling, but that's because you don't appear to be paying attention.
It would also be helpful if you'd put your device info in your user signature.

Step 3
4. Once the phone reboots, go through Windows Mobile setup and let it finish.
My phone has been sitting at "PLease wait, phone starting up" for like 8 minutes.
This doesn't seem normal. . .should i be concerned?
Is your TouchPro CDMA or GSM? Sounds like you got the ROM to boot. Might just be taking a while. If it takes longer than 15 minutes, then reset the bugger. If something is indeed hosed with the ROM and it won't boot, just hold Volume Down and Power while hitting the reset button on the bottom, and you'll be back at the bootloader.

It's verizon, so i assume it would be CDMA.
Alright, ill wait it out and give the reset a try if nothing happens. thanks
Curiously, if i end up being back at the bootloader, where should i procede?
actually i did the same installed a new rom and now it is stuck in start up , where it shows (touch Pro) stays lite for about a min or so then the whole phone reset. it seem to take the whole rom , because it said congrads installation is complete. now i cant do anything , like even install a different rom. i am wondering if i need to install a rom now via mini sd , or is there a master reset? and how am i going to install rom via mini sd

Like Cyfun said, hold Vol-Down/Power and Soft reset into bootloader. Plug the phone into USB and at the bottom serial should change to USB. Then flash away.
Otherwise, take a SD-micro and put your .nbh in the root folder, and rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh and reset into bootloader
holy crap that was fast, thanks , i am going to try it now
actually that worked, awesome!!!! i use to have a rom that was mighty rom (reborn) does anyone have the link for it , it seem to work the best on my phone!!
Sorry, never been a big fan of Mighty ROM. If you want something really Fast and Stable, I suggest Calkulins ROMs. Here is a link to the most recent release.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/tzmgjytkzm3/Calkulin's Touch Pro 23506 ROM v4.2.7z
I personally use NRG roms (due to them being updated so frequently). These however tend to be slightly buggy, and need many mods to suite individual needs.
Well once in bootloader mode i was able to get NFSFAN's rom installed with absolutely no issues.
So what did I do? Redownload a different version of energy rom and try it again. No luck there, the same thing happened. I think maybe energy rom just hates my phone. So I reflashed with NFSFAN's rom and i might just leave it with this. I dunno how much of a difference a noob flasher like myself will see between the two.

this post saved my butt guys. was having the exact same problem but didn't know how to reset to bootloader, thought my phone was bricked...
Ive never been able to get Energy to boot up on my Sprint TP. Tried flash dancing, etc, gets stuck on touch pro screen. Ended up using another ROM. Anecdotal of course
Me too...
That same thing happened to me, I've tried a few other energy ROMs but they've all been too buggy for me. I think he ported his GSM ROM over to CDMA because when I tried sending a text it asked for a SIM card.
I like psyki and I'm running Twisted NewSense right now...there are more CDMA ROM's over at ppcgeeks dot com

why? the verizon touch pro is seriously gimped..MOST roms will barely run on them. the guys cook the roms according to how they like them, and likely theyre not on verizon if its not working. just flash a bunch of different roms till you find one that works, and i also have read that most verion touch pros seem to run better with pagepool at 6 so i suggest you try that..good luck with it, but remember that the guys that cook these dont owe any explanation if the dont want to. were getting state of the art roms (built for new phones) on our out-of-date touch pros for free.
