I said how I flashed.

You are confusing the official alltel update .exe (an exectable archive composed of multiple files) with this extraction of the radio from that alltel released ROM.

This radio is simply an .nbh ROM file. If you are unaware of what that is then I strongly urge you to read the XDA-Wiki.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mshnayde:
Getting Sprint start screen back.

Hey guys,

I had to run the official Alltell release, just because the .nbh file kept getting stuck and restarting itself at 8%.

Not that it's a big deal, but is there a simple way to get the regular Sprint start screens back?

Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] b0ris84:
memory stick method

should have done memory stick method worked without a problem. I just didn't want to flash alltel so i decided to give it a try and it worked
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] faceless:
even though i knew it was coming from reading this post, man it always scares me to see a progress bar pause for an excruciating 14 seconds.

anyway, updated and it works fine here on Sprint!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SyXbiT:
i wonder if this fixes battery life
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] morganlowe:
well, I updated! Flashed via SD by renaming to TITAIMG.nbh All seems well on Sprint and DCD's ROM. Calls are actually a little better, the dead spot in my building is gone.

Edit:

All was well until I went to google...

help?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sherv:
Haha, I had the spanish translation for Google as well, you can edit the settings of the page itself and change your location/localization/language within Google's page prefs.

Regarding the radio, here's a stupid question...is it carrier specific?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
radios are generally not carrier specific....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] b0ris84:
if you can somehow get into options

if you can figure out the options you can actually change the language. I've had that happen 2 me b4 the update
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hoothrewpoo:
I got an error message that stated something to the effect of "your phone can not be updated". It was strange. It jumped to 8% complete immediately, then the error. I was attempting to flash via a dummy RRU folder I have. Anyone flash via RUU successfully?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
I have a weird issue.... I can't flash via the SD card.... Here's a snapshot of my SD card info.... When I put my titan in bootloader, with the SD card in the slot, it briefly flashed a gray screen says invalid image.... then back to bootloader.... there's has to be something I'm over looking....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
The first time I downloaded from rapidshare the file was corrupted. Maybe this happend to you? I re-downloaded and got the full file. Actually I was waiting for you to flash the xv6800 to see if it works, so hurry up!!! :p
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hidavi:
Can I flash this with an empty RUU? Would I have to reinstall the OS or no?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hoothrewpoo:
apparently not. I attempted to do so, and it failed after 8%. I read on ppc that SD card was the only confirmed method of flashing. If you find otherwise, please update us.

I've just added another mirror for the 3.37.20 radio:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DSLFN2WJ
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
well shoot.... I'm downloading the new one now.... maybe it was a corrupted file...

PS - On a side note, I edited the wiki for SD flashing to include a method of formatting your SD card using command line parameters in a DOS window....

EDIT - The link above at megaupload isn't downloading for me, anyone else having issue getting it too download .....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
So -- What does the new radio actually improve?

Will it correct that fact that my GPS will get a fix for 5 minutes after a HARD reset and then not work again for days and days?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
probably not - i think the GPSID driver is causing that.

(off topic) if you build without the GPSID package, your GPS wont die. but your battery wont last long either.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
dcd,

What do you plan on doing? You plan on using the 3.37 radio, or you sticking with 3.35.04?

P.S. It makes me very jealous you're still enjoying playoff hockey, goddamn bruins...they get me all excited only to play like total ass in game 7 and let me down...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
azclown, here's another mirror for the radio:

http://www.mediafire.com/?xu4ezovqegr

Without issue, I've been using the new radio since last night.

There are playoffs this year?? Canucks take the cup in 2009! :eek:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
TY keystone.... I'm trying again right now....
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
yeah i went to 3.37.20. i think ive been seeing way more satellites = placebo effect

you can at least feel better that im cheering for philly in the east... you know they wont make it past montreal.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
Dam thing..... Flash via SD is not working...... I format the SD card with Fat 32, 1024 cluster size.... The only file on the card is the radio image, TITAIMG.nbh .... Says No Image Found on a gray screen for like 1/10 of a sec, then back to bootloader.... Can we use the RUU to upgrade the radio??
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] azclown:
What method did you use to flash the radio ???
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] etexter:
I'm not sure if it's real or not, but I'm seeing more satellites on the new radio.

PS - I think the Flyers are going to surprise you.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kockroach:
nevermind...replied to a post, but it was already replied to.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
i flashed the alltel exe straight from htc, then overwrote OS with my own before calibration.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
is there any way to flash just the radio? that would let me keep my os the way it is? so i dont have to work like i just flashed a new rom?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hidavi:
I asked the same thing as you did gbenj and no one answered :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] etexter:
Just copy the file to the SD card and flash that way. I didn't have to hard reset or anything after flashing the radio.

Steps are pretty easy and found on the Wiki

Format SD card fat32

Copy nbh file to the card as TITAIMG.nbh

Put the phone in bootloader mode

Follow the directions for the radio

Reset and done.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
Reading the Wiki, it said to format the microSD aith an Allocation size of 1024.

Unfortunately I have a 6gb card and could not set the allocation to 1024. so I grabbed my wife's i760 where she has a 128mb card in it which formatted just fine.

I put it in my 6800, started the bootloader, and it flashed succesfully.

It updated my radio to the version, I soft booted, and I did not lose any data on my phone.

are people having success flashing from cards of 6gb which do not have an allocation size of 1024?

Jef
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hidavi:
SO. Can I flash this on without erasing all my **** or not?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DominusNex:
I didn't have any issues. I just renamed the file to TITAIMG.nbh and copied it to my SD, did a power/camera soft reset, the bootloader pulled it and I hit power to flash then soft reset and done.

I'm using a 2GB card which was originally formated as FAT32.

Haven't noticed any differences yet, but didn't really expect to right away.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 760hacker:
Did you or has anyone been able to flash this new radio with a 6gb micro card. If so what did they do to get it to work?:confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sprintrjm:
tried 2 diff micro cards

i tried using my 4gb sdhc card, formatting it via the wiki instructs.

I also tried using my 512mb card the same way.

Neither worked.

The 512mb card with the TITAIMG.nbh, i was able to get to the boot rom and it said loading, then it just sat at the tri colored screen with serial at the bottom for 5 min then i gave up. I tried this 5 times before i stopped.

The 4gb card never said loading, it just went to the tri colored screen and it just sat there with serial at the bottom.

I also tried to load it via the exe from active sync.

It seemed to be working fine, it went to the boot loader and then it went from 1% to 9% and then it came up with an error and rebooted.

I tried this 4 times then gave up too.

I am going to try downloading the radio from a different server, just to make sure the download was not corrupt.

hmmmm... :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sprintrjm:
ps

I have the latest 2.40 olipro

I also have dcd's latest rom updated 4/24/08

:D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] sprintrjm:
This one worked for me

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387410&page=3

The Mega uploader rar worked.

The first one i downloaded from the first page either is corrupt or it got corrupt when i downloaded it. Either way it worked..

I didn't post it for flashing just for hetalp

The rapid share file in the first post was extracted for another user to do something else. You weren't supposed to flash your phone with that file! Read the rest of the thread before you post a link to just a Radio before you have a whole thread of bricked phones.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I've successfully flashed my XV6800 (VZW) via the microsd method but with a little catch.

My 4gb microsdhc card did not work, even with a fresh format. Just sat at the bootloader.

I had an old 128 mb transflash card I used back in my moto e815, formatted that and put TITAIMG.nbh on that bad boy...worked first time flawless.

Weird how this is happening, especially to those who have successfully flashed before with their higher capacity microsd cards..

Just my two cents.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
Intereting enough.... I did not have to cal VZW after flashing this Radio Rom t reset my AKey.

I totally forgot to check that afterwards, as data worked like a champ, that I didn't even think about checking voice services. I just tried and I am able to send/receive calls without issue.

Jef
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maccaberry:
Thanks Key for the various download locations. Did the SD card method to flash just the radio (SD card method is my preferred method anyway and it is always flawless so i think we really should make a push to make it the standard flash method - activesync basically sucks most of the time).

dcd, I don't think you are experiencing placebo effect. We have been having massive electrical storms over here in MO and very low and thick cloud cover. Yesterday in my concrete bunker of an office I couldn't get a fix with radio 3.35 even standing right in front of a window. I loaded 3.37 straight after key put the

http://www.mediafire.com/?xu4ezovqegr post up and within a few second of rebooting I had 6 satellites locked - ten feet from the nearest window.

I think the alltel radio really has something going.

Mac
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maccaberry:
Jef, you only need to get a VZW A-Key when changing to a NEW TYPE of radio. Going from a non-gps radio to a gps one will mean you need to re-authorize, but going from 3.35 to 3.37 is not a major upgrade. I guess its like a windows service pack - they give it for free but a major upgrade they will sting you for it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maccaberry:
gc I have seen this before . It definitely needs to be FAT32 or it wont work at the bootloader even though other format types are ok on the SD card once the device has booted to windows. The cluster size is important too. You might want to check your settings when you format the card. I found that the default ones offered by windows were wrong so I had to change them.

I formatted my SDHC card months ago and just keep using it every time I flash. It still has all my other junk on it. I only change the TITAIMG.nbh in the root of it whenever I want to flash a now rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Yeah after it bombed out, I tried to format it again...this time making sure it was FAT32 with 1024 cluster...still no dice.

It's all good though cuz like I said I still have my old 128 mb one that worked fine the first time, and has enough space to hold an average sized ROM.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
Mac,

Thanks for the info on the Radio Rom version. I am glad I didn't have to call VZW again, though they were pretty cool about it.

What size SD are you using? I couldn't get my 6gb to set the Allocation size to 1024 on my laptop, but maybe I will try it again.

Jef
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I have now successfully flashed two titans, one being my XV6800 (VZW) and the second being my coworker's Mogul (Sprint) with the same 128 MB microsd card. Both times flawless...still no dice with the SDHC...but oh well.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 760hacker:
2gb Micro Works in Fat32 1024 cluster size!

:)I used a 2gb Micro formated to Fat32 and 1024 and it worked flawlessly on my XV6800. I also have a 6gb which did not work as you can't format them to 1024 cluster size.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] maccaberry:
Well I have egg on my face. I bought what I thought was a SDHC card but it appears that it is only SD. If that is the case it would explain why I can flash the rom from it.

So that gets us back to a more important question. Can we flash from an SDHC card? maybe Keystone can shed light on this. Key, you are the SD evangelist. Do you know if its possible?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
Could you elaborate on this a bit? Is it something i can nuke out of the kitchen? Battery life isn't a problem, I've got chargers coming out of my ass
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
I've never tried... I'd always been to lazy to backup my regular 8GB card, format it, and then re-copy the files over..

I just keep a old 2GB card about for flashing purposes. I've formatted that card with Vista's built in GUI at a cluster size of 4kb.

.....but....I'm willing to experiment right now -- to settle this once and for all.. ;)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Keystone:
No luck with my 8GB SDHC.. I could not format it with 4kb cluster size and for flashing the phone wouldn't recognise it at a 32kb cluster size. All was fine when I placed the 2GB card at 4kb back in.

So -- to flash we apparently need a non SDHC card that can be formatted at FAT32 up to at least a 4kb cluster size.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebb:
Yeah, no love here with a 4gb sdhc at 4kb.

Anyone with verizon have this radio working yet?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ml3000:
Yeah, i have verizon and i have it working. I just loaded altells update then loaded my own rom on top it. For some reason the alltel logo stuck with the bootup screen when i loaded dcd's 3.0.4 so now i have a verizon phone with alltells logo... oh well

Still dont really know what the big differences are with this radio. does anyone else?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
I flashed via microSD on to a 3.0.1 rom...using the file in the first post. And i never changed the rom or anything.

Works fine. Shows 03.37.20 on bootup. But I don't notice a single difference
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
trying to format my sandisk 512mb microsd card, but when i right click it from my computer through the card reader, i click format, and the only options i have are:

1) capacity - stays at 483mb

2) File system - 2 options are FAT32 and FAT

3) Allocation size unit - which says "Default allocation size" and thats the only option

4) Volume label - which is blank

5) check box for quick format - unchecked

i understand what to do(FAT32 1024 cluster size) am i correct in assuming that my dell laptop will not format the card correctly if i just choose default allocation size? 1024 isnt an option...(im assuming cluster size and allocation size are the same property, am i right?)

any software that will format a card for me and let me choose the options?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
open command windows (start - run - cmd)

format /x: /fs:fat32 /a:512 /x /u

replace x: with the drive letter of your sd card
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
512? i thought it was supposed to be 1024?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blueglide:
I used 1024 and it worked perfectly. Wiki says 1024 also. Apparently 512 has worked for some.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
i think the phone will read a file system with up to 1024 sectors/cluster. Or maybe more, but with a 2gb card i've always used 512 and it always works.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blueglide:
Have you ever used Pocket Mechanic to format your card and then flashed from the card and had it work? I was hesitant to try since it only allowed up to 512 allocation. Used the DOS window instead cuz I didn't want anything to go wrong.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
Nope, never used Pocket Mechanic. Always dos window, 512 works fine everytime. I have a second sd card formatted that way with a bunch of different roms on it and i use it just to flash
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blueglide:
My first time flashing via SD card...always used RUU before....can you have multiple .nbh files on your SD card and then select which one to flash? Or can only one .nbh file be on card at a time? Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
you have to rename the one that you want to flash "TITAIMG.NBH" the phone will ignore all files on the card except for that one
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Only one...and it must be named TITAIMG.nbh
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
but you can have as many .nbh files on the card as you want
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
having problems trying to format...

the second "x" i replace give me an error that says "Invalid parameter - /f"

any ideas?

edit: took off the last two things u had "/x /u" and it reformatted.

On VZW, flashed new Alltel Rom for new radio, now stuck w/ Alltel boot screen

I've got an xv6800 on Verizon, but, like DCD, flashed the new Alltel Rom to get the new 3.37.20 radio. I then flashed DCD 3.0.4 rom.

However, my boot screen comes up with the HTC logo, then the Alltel logo. Bah! Any way to reflash and keep 3.37.20 radio, AND have DCD 3.0.4 rom?

(I did not let Alltel Rom's customizations run or anything like that...)

Thanks!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
still no luck flashing.

when i go into bootloader a grey screen flashes for like 1/4 of a second that says in blue "loading" on one line, and "no image file!" on the other...

whats going on?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
you replace the /x: with the drive letter. leave /x -- it tells the computer to dismount the volume first for total access and /u makes the format unconditional (highly recommended)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
still getting that same problem, grey screen for a fraction of a second. that says No Image File!

gonna try downloading the radio again, cant think of anything else.

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ml3000:
same thing happened to me
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] roninld:
Renamed .nbh file to "TITAIMG.nbh" went to bootloader, and the device found the file and uploaded. Had to soft reset after it was finished and am now on 3.37.20 on XV6800. Had to borrow a friends 512 sd card though, as I have an 8 GB.

Thanks for the help!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
true -- this won't work with anything higher than a 2gb card, as best as i can tell.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
sd card flash isnt working for me. is there any way someone(a higher power) can create an .exe or RUU for this radio, like was done with the 3.27 radio? i want this, but i dont want to have to run the alltell rom and then reflash dcd, cause i dont want to lose my rom settings/programs...i know i can UC and stuff, but its a hassle since im not an expert xml editor yet.

any possibility of an exe or ruu?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] lafester:
i think you can just drop it into any empty ruu and flash just like a rom.

the problem is this sometimes causes a hard reset.

i don't see any reason to switch radios until you are ready to switch roms anyway.

good luck!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
Same as me,I can't do the SD way,I formatted the card as instructed and renamed the radio file to TITANIMG.nbh,no go.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
I did that,but but the phone restarted after only 8% completed.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
this can take some time to figure out, but it's worth it -- it's deff. the best way to flash. i can understand trying to download it again. there's a chance you got a corrupt file, but the last time that happened to me it got partway through the flash until the phone realized it was reading dead data and hung up on me.

some troubleshooting:

what size is your microSD card?

what steps did you use to format it?

is the file in the root directory?

is it all caps TITAIMG.NBH? (may or may not be case sensitive, idk)

if you still can't figure it out, i atttached a blank RUU. extract it to a new folder, and drop your .nbh file in there (sometimes it has to be named RUU_Signed.nbh), and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
That's where you've gone wrong -- it's not TITAN, but TITA -- TITAIMG.nbh
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
OMG,that might be my problem,will try it again tonite when i get home,thanks a million.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
After the radio upgrade,does the phone require hard reset?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] roninld:
I just did a soft reset, and when it came up, it was showing Radio 3.37.20. And everything is working fine.

EDIT: Yes ... Radio 3.37.20.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] 2kmy477:
Thank you.Will give a try tonite.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] indeo:
do you mean 3.37.20? That's the radio version we're discussing
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
some troubleshooting

what size is your microSD card?

512 mb sandisk

what steps did you use to format it?

regular windows formatting, and ms dos

is the file in the root directory?

yes

is it all caps TITAIMG.NBH? (may or may not be case sensitive, idk)

nope, its correct

The bootloader changes to a grey screen that reads:

Loading.

No valid image!

someone previously had this problem in this thread, but no resolution.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Coolpics:
Here we go. I don't know what I did RIGHT, but this is my magic fix:
