I have been coming to this site for a while to get roms for all of my ppc's 6600-6800.
For some reason I am having trouble getting the rom in this thread to go onto my 6800. (it maybe because it's like 2:30am in Hawaii or I could have just missed something) Here is what has been done so far:
I am following the steps outlined in quantumforce1's post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667
My device is pretty much OTB and only had slingbox loaded. From top down I followed each and every step in yellow 1-4 and steps 1-4 in the "Retrieve Provisioning Data" and "Upgrade to 3.16" sections skipping step 3 because this device is OTB.
Now here is where the issue starts, after coming to this thread to get a copy of the 3.16 rom I try to run it and the command window just pops up for a second and goes away.
* I'm running vista but have tried on an XPsp2 box as well with the same results.
* I have set the exe to run as admin in xpsp2 compatability mode with the same results.
* I have even put the exe on a FAT32 microSD card renamed it to TITAIMG.nbh and the bootloader just shows "loading" for a second then goes back to tri-color screen.
* I have also turned off vista's UAC, this also did not work
* I have downloaded each version of the exe from the list hoping I was getting a bad copy and that did not work either.
Oh I almost forgot, I also reverted the activesync drivers back to 4.05. Nope didn't work either.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation with the 3.16 exe? Does anyone out there have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or how I might correct the issue.
Thank You

The issue with the 3.16 .exe not running on your desktop computer may be fixed by rebooting the desktop computer (sounds like a "stuck" process).
[edit: The download files are zip files. Did you extract the .exe out of the zip file?]
Many feel that the SD card method is easier and less prone to problems. However, you cannot flash from the SD card by copying and renaming the .exe file. Try installing the Olipro 2.40 hard-SPL and then:
1. Using a PC, format a microSD card to FAT32.
2. Using winrar or an unzipper, extract the *.nbh file from the ROM upgrade .exe.
3. Copy the *.nbh file to the root directory on the formatted microSD card
4. Rename the file on the microSD card TITAIMG.nbh.
5. Insert the microSD card into the phone and reset into bootloader (power, camera, reset).
6. The phone will tell you to press the power button to flash the ROM; do so.
