Re: Removing ROMs????

I just read the other thread where you gave up on the big questions, so let me try and help. Assuming you can press power, camera and reset simultaneously and get a bootloader screen....

1. Download a cooked ROM of your choosing. There are several cooks that provide clean cooked ROMs, you'll just have to search, but make sure you download one for the Titan. I personally use the clean WM6.5 ROMs by jmartin72. They are clean and I have had no glitches using them.

2. Un-ZIP or un-RAR the file into a folder on the PC.

3. Look in that folder and find a file with an .nbh extension and copy it to a FAT32 formatted, 2GB or less sd card.

4. Rename the file to TITAIMG.nbh. The file must be named this to work.

5. Put the card into your phone and enter the bootloader. Press power, camera and the little recessed reset hole on the bottom of the phone all at the same time.

6. You should see the bootloader screen for a second or two and then a grey screen with blue writing on it. In the middle of that screen, you should see directions saying something about pressing the power button to update. Press the power button.

7. Wait for the update to finish. It shouldn't take but a minute or so. The last time I timed mine and it took 1 minute 10 seconds.

8. After it is complete, lay the phone on a flat surface and press the two softkeys (the ones on the front bottom of the phone with white dots on them) and the bottom reset button at the same time and hold for about two seconds. You should be at another grey screen.

9. This screen will say something to the effect of "To update press the R key on the keyboard." Slide out the keyboard and press the "R" key. You should get a progress bar and this will take about the same time as the original flash. This is called a hard reset and, from what I've read, it is wise to do this after a flash of a new ROM.

10. When the update is complete, the same grey screen will say, "Press the space bar to reboot," or something to that effect. Slide out the keyboard and press the space bar.

11. The phone should reboot. The initial boot after a flash takes a while (several minutes.) My phone actually goes to sleep during the reboot. You will eventually hear a beep and the initial WM screen should pop up with instructions to tap anywhere to do the initial set-up. I actually have to press the power button to wake the phone up after I hear the beep.

12. Go through the set-up procedure and soft reset the phone after WM starts up completely.

Since you flashed the Alltel ROM, I am assuming (hoping) that you have a good radio (3.42.50) on the phone. If not, I won't be of much help because I have never changed the radio only on my phone, but there are instructions on this site to change the radio also.

Sometimes it can be frustrating waiting for a reply to a thread, but remember that these guys are here voluntarily and have jobs and lives too. Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.
