If the nbh file that you put on the sd card is not named to TITAIMG.nbh (not TITAIMG.NBH) then it will not work. NO caps on nbh.
I believe the file on download is all caps.
i did not do that so thanks for replying but it still did nothing. it just stays at the multi colored screen. do i have to wait till it starts or should it start right away.

Maybe posting some more info on what you did would help.
1 sd card has to be 2g or less
2 formatted to FAT32 with 1024 allocation
3 nbh file has to be straight in root of card (inside NO folders)
4 name of nbh file is TITAIMG.nbh
5 enter bootloader and follow grey screen instructions(does not take long to start if everything is correct)(I have had to reenter bootloader while I was in bootloader before.)
Another question are you running stock rom as well with stock bootloader?
thanks agian for all the help. i really dont know if i am formatting it right cause i just do it by the copputer way. (opening my computer and right clicking going to format and hiiting format on FAT32) i have a 1gb card so it is not that so i will try. one thing, does it come up on the screen or do i have to have it connected to the computer?
oh and i am running a dcd ROM (3.2.6) with tthe latest stock radio from sprint.
thanks you for responding

No usb hooked up to phone while flashing sd method. When you enter bootloader it will open a grey screen saying loading and then it will tell you to hit the power button to continue. When it is done it will say update complete and all you need to do then is hit the soft reset button. Don't forget to take the nbh file off card when done.
wow...that was fast. ahha. i will try this when i get home. now i am at school so i cant format it right now. but how do YOU format it. nto haow to but how you do it. thanks.

simply place the card in pc
In file explorer right click on that device and hit format.
It open a screen to let me set what I want.(fat, Fat32, ect.)
When I like my settings I hit start.
It is that simple.
good luck
so it will always do the 1024 allocation? cuase if not then i think that is my problem.

I can change to what ever allocation I want before I hit start.
Can you not change that?
you must be using xp.
I do believe on xp FAT32 is defaulted to 1024 (but not sure)

yeah it just goes to the default which i cant shange so i would hope it is 1024 allocation.

Hi,
I have an XDA O2 (Wallaby) which I got from a friend of mine who used it without a problem in its life and now I am stuck with a flashing O2 XDA.
Let me try to best describe my problem.
I had copied some of my excel files onto the O2 and then I had a distinct feeling that it had gotten to be much much slower.I am not too sure if this is the cause.
I was not using it as a phone but one day I slipped in my SIM card so as to surf the net and it just would not connect via GPRS and after that it had become very slow hanging every once in a while so I did a soft reset but it still was slow and the GPRS would not connect neither did it detect my phone service provider.I used to surf prevously through GPRS without any problems.
Then I did a hard reset and it just wouldnt work after that it would start with the blue O2 screen and begin to flash on and off with a blank screen with a small keyboard icon in the lower right hand corner presumably the affected excel file....I think my XDA has a virus now please help me out from here.
I tried doing a hard rest and I depressed the reset button on the RHS side that's it(smaller hole bigger one for soft reset) Once I press down with the smaller end of the stylus I press it again then the blue screen with the O2 logo comes to life it stays on for sometime and then a "tink" noise comes and the busy sign comes as if it has just opened an application ..a blue small band on the top most corner and a small keyboard icon on the lower rhs hand of the screen then the screen begins to flash ten seconds apart for quite some time...infact that all it does before shutting down and restarting all over again.
Is there any other way to do a hard reset.What is the right way?? as on one of the forums said that I should depress the power button and the soft reset button at the same time for about 5 sec I tried the hard and something called the WALLABY Bootloader V5.15 came on the screen with the message 'WAIT' after a couple of nail biting seconds I got an error saying GSM ERROR the screen was a clourful white red green and blue strips....what happened??
Then I proceeded to depress the soft reset button it restarted with the usual error of a program being opened and the screen flashing..
Hope to get a reply from this forum.
Take care
Ciao

Hi,
1st off thanks for your reply....
I have downloaded Programme A to upgrade my rom but cant seem to get it loaded onto the SD card. I unzipped osimage.exe and tried to store it from my PC to SD card but cant seem to do it....furthermore I was advised by friends out here not to be a braveheart and venture to kill my XDA but still I'd like to try...you see I'm not to conservant with the software bit and I'm only a end user...
Could you give me a step by step guidance to get the software loaded to the SD card via a card reader and then flashing the rom..
Hope to hear from you....
Alvin
flashing from sd card
Firstly make sure u have winzip winrar or some other compression software on the computer then right click on the programme A exe file and click open with whatever compression program u have i use winrar so i will say open with winrar. You now need to extract all files into a folder.
Once you have done that open up OSimagetool and on source browse for the folder u just extracted the programme A to and look for nk.nbf,you will need to tell it to look for nbf files and not nb1 files , which is the default and select it,it is in the english folder. In the destination u need to select your sd card which should be in a card reader as u cant program it directly to the XDA or via the memory card, once you have done this click copy. when that is finished you need to take the card and place it in the xda and do a cold reset . A screen will appear saying SD Download click the action key on the pad to commence flashing. after a few minutes it will inform you that it has finished. remove the sd card and Cold boot again then once the wallaby has rebooted back to your bootloader screen soft reset it,ignore the gsm error now cross your fingers while you wait to see if it reboots. If it reboots ok set up activesync again and run the radio upgrade. By the Way any info on the sd card should be saved before attempting this as it will be overwritten by the osimage tool. Also only the xda can read the card , the pc will say it needs formatting Good luck
Any Luck
Did you have any luck reflashing with a new rom almaal?
I have followed the procedure. The system rebooted and I got the GSM error which I ignored and continued the process. The system rebooted properly i.e I get to see the start menu and the calendar, but the device does not get detected by activesync. Another thing to note is that the system has become terribly slow. And although the backlight is switched to on it the device keeps on flashing. What do I do now?

wallaby xda flashing
format the sd card then and copy the radio upgrade over to the card. not as an exe file almaal, right click it again then extract files and copy the files over , if u have a cab file including then just use file explorer on the xda to navigate to the storage card and click on it and it will install. If not then click on the rsupgrade.exe. Hope you have more luck with this than i have i had . Good luck

Not charging I think
Hi I dont know what to make of it but now my wallaby came to life with the rom that I flashed but it seems to have gone crazy. Let me best try and explain.
1) The green charge light does not come on when I put it onto the cradle or plug it directly for a charge.
2) It does not make any sound, no beeps no nothing....but when an mp3 is put on it plays
3)The back light does not come on which is enabled but does not work I have to work with a dark screen...is there a brightness control which can be adjusted...its like its on power save mode or something..
Now its back flashing the O2 screen again its become terribly slow and unstable and I have to do a constant reset. How do I know which is my ROM to flash, I've flashed the R.30.07 ENG Rogers (4700 kB available) from http://www.romkitchen.de/WM2003/form.php.
I somehow feel that my O2 is not charging
Can you make any sense of this ..
Alvin
Hi
And another thing is that I trird copying the radio upgrade over to the card and then clicking on rsupgrade.exe. The upgrade fails at 1% giving an error as follows:
Flash Failed!
Press ok to restart your device.
What could be the problem? and how can I fix it?
Thanks
See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError

Flash Failed
Neilius you have obviously not been through this process, no offence, but as i have tried to ask with a few posts on here it seems when the radio upgrade fails the wallaby refuses to charge. Which i think is the reason the radio upgrade always fails at 1%. Unfortunately nobodys knows or is even interested in finding out why

I have an 8525 at home, that I need to return for Warranty replacement, via Cingular/AT&T. Problem is, it has the VP3G 3.62 rom on it, and the USB port is toast (the black thing that aligns the pins are gone, and some of the pins are mashed, or missing). I need to return this to a factory state within 9 days. I have read about flashing via memory card, but there was mention of SPL and bootloader. I don't have the phone handy to reference what's on there, but it sould be whatever the VP3G 3.62 comes with. Is there a way I can change those without using a usb connection? I don't have any sort of bluetooth tethering ability either. hope anyone can help, thank you!
Get a SD card and reader. Drop the files you need to put it back to stock software on that.
Is there a way to do the spl or/and bootloader via memory card?

Yes there is, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it.
Assuming you have not installed HardSPL on the phone, this is what I would do:
*Grab a copy of hardspl and put it into it's own directory.
* Run RUUWrapper.exe, click on Force Using SSPL, click next. This will put a few files in the directory, one of which is named EnterBL.exe
* Copy EnterBL.exe to the SD card.
*Copy the file to the memory of the phone
*Put the ROM you want to flash on the FAT32 formatted SD card, renaming it per the SD Card Flash instructions
*Put that card in the phone
*Run EnterBL.exe from the phone's memory with the SD card in place
As I understand it, this should temporarily load the modified boot loader, which will see the image file and ask if you want to continue with the flash process.
Ok, sorry if I came off rude, as I am just new at all of this. Thanks for the information, and I'll give this a try when I get home from work this morning, and let you know how it goes. I appreciate it very much.

It's all back to stock AT&T software. Thanks for your help! I'll let you know how the warranty return works out.
ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.

Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.
Good luck,
-pvs
Mr. pvs , I am doing the #2 holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]. I tried to download Hard-SPL 1[1].10, when I open it on my PC it will give me instructions then when I press upgrade I will see 4 color screen the Sync icon will disappear and then it will say that it lost connections.
it looks like i need to update
this what is say
From :

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,
-pvs
No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

FROM THE TITAN WIKI:
Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC (<=2GB) microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4KB cluster size)
(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...
7. You may have to soft reset once it says the update is complete
(If you are using UC let the customizations run so it will read the SDConfig.txt file)
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this GPS ROMs) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.

now trying to boot to upgrade the rom I get the reg, green, blue, white part of the screen... and it says serial....
can anyone help me???
it sounds to me like you have nueSPL installed correctly.
In the past I have had problems with formatting sd cards, the only reliable way I have found to format them so that they work for flashing roms is to use the nue format utility... it is up somewhere on nuerom.com
It will erase everything on your card, so back it up first
after the card has been formatted, copy the "TITAIMG.nbh" file to the root of the card
Put the card in your phone and reboot into bootloader mode
it should detect that there is a rom image on the card and ask you to press the power button to continue.
The flashing process takes about 1 minute to complete (so much faster than using activesync)
Once everything is done it will say something like "process complete", and then you soft reset and you are done

I am glad that you were able to get it working. I enjoy flashing different roms, but am not really a nit-picky user.
I fonally donated to no2chem today so that I can use his nueRom3-pre3, it is a pretty nice rom that gives you the option to disable your camera and get an extra 8 MB in free ram, I am also really liking the nueWifiSwitch. But like I said you have to donate to get the rom, and I have only been using it for 6 hours or so.
before that I was pretty much exclusively on a custom build of DCD 3.2.6, just a bare minimum rom, which I like because I flash quite often.
It does seem like people are liking the "Titan M2D Round 4 ROM" a lot. It looks pretty good, in fact it even includes a program that I made, Manilla 2D Customizer, which will let you tweak Manila 2D and apply some themes.
Good luck, and I hope flashing your rom via SD card goes a little bit smoother than your radio flash
I am sure some of you are going to read this and shake your head but I need to know what is the whole purpose of updating your ROM on your phone. I currently have a US Cellular PPC 6800 and US Cellular never has anything on their site for new and cool things for their phones. I would like to update the phone to Windows 6.1 not for any particular reason just to say I did it. Is their certain features on this phone that I am missing out on because I have a stock ROM? By upgrading my ROM what features will I be able to get or do?
Thanks for your answers.
speed, speed, more speed, memory tweaks, battery tweaks
Really. I like that. I will start reading threads and getting a better understanding of this whole ROM upgrade. Any particular ROM that someone can suggest so I can read more on it. Anyone have any good words of wisdom on things to do or avoid?
what do you like in your roms? with programs? or barebones?
See that is what I need to learn yet. The differences in the ROM's. But I would have to say I like programs.
then r4r reloaded is the way to go by scrosler or bitserve. to unlock use nuespl
I see that nueSPL-2.47 is the latest version and I assume that would be the version I would use. it says "DO NOT USE with a NON GPS RADIO (2.xx). Only use with GPS RADIOS (3.xx). A version check will be added soon." How can I verify this?
What is the actual purpose of the nueSPL?
I don't mind getting my hands dirty and doing some reading but I am very new to the whole world of upgrading my phone. The fear is if I do something wrong then I have a very expensive piece of junk. I have worked on UNIX machines for the last 15 years so if this was a computer no problems but like I said earlier I know nothing about phones.
Thanks for your help
have you decided on a rom? kitchen or RUU file? let me know which one, then, ill help you unlock and install your rom
I am still researching the best one, or the one I think I would like to try. Thanks for your help and I will get back to you when I think I fully understand.
ok, this is what I believe to be true. a ROM and RUU are pretty much the same and a kitchen allows you to pick and choose which apps you want to install. What I am looking for is a way to allow me to have more features for the phone (ie. turn on GPS and upgrade to WM6.1) but yet also have some of the same programs I use all the time or be able to install the programs I use ( Office, Opera, Calendar, ) Things like that. Since you have way more knowledge on this then I do, with what I mentioned what would you suggest?

You will also need an updated radio, I recommend 3.42.40 or 3.42.50.
You have to do SPL first, then radio, then rom.

I do not have a spare SD Card I am going to buy one and I have read that I need 1 no more then 2GB and to format it as FAT16
ok, I have downloaded Radio ROM 3.42.50, R4RLoaded, going to get SD NueSPL, and 2GB SD Card.

might want to make that fat32
nuespl will format the card as fat 32 once we get it running
ok I am ready to go, I have an extra 1GB microSD card, After some reading, I am going to copy nueSPL to my phone with ActiveSync, SPL will format the 1GB card and then the unlock process will begin, After that I will install the ROM ( I need to re-read that because I forgot how to do it) and then after the ROM install the RADIO using the SD card method.

ill help you with the installation because its quite simple
once you get it unlock
rename your rom (ruu_signed.nbh) to TITAimg.nbh
copy TITAimg.nbh to storage card (using whatever activesync or card reader)
put phone in tri-color screen (in case you dont know it's power+camera+reset hold for 2 seconds)
that will install your rom.
the steps for upgrading the radio are the same:
delete previous titaimg.nbh file and replace it with your radio (titaimg.nbh) file
tricolor screen
done
Ok thanks for you help. going to try my very first ROM upgrade right now
