I was being blunt as a warning.
i have searched and found nothing useful on the special nbh you mention in your sig - which you referenced - something about it allows you to access the lower level programming, but nothing that i can tie to the downgrade process. while it sounds like you reluctantly might admit that it might be possible to downgrade, but there's very high chance of failure due to the Radio write protection, so dont do it. when i get the time, since i'm interested in learning more about what exactly u did to brick your titans, and what the special nbh file does... unless want to post a link to these more than likely scattered "further posts" i'll research more...

Any suggestions?
further discussion would entail that your wrong, but hopefully someone will figure out a way to successfully overright the GPS Radio w/out it causing the dreaded "download mode"


*edit*

did research a little and found that you have at least one bricked mogul, and one bricked touch. based on the following posts it looks like you had a failed radio port to the touch and flashed the special nbh on the mogul.

When/if it happens there will be a sticky with steps here and titan section. This happened due to titan radio on touch so here it is: WARNING: RADIOS SHOULD NOT BE USED FROM DIFFERENT DEVICES.

Phone won't start-no bootloader

Ever since the apache days i've tried to warn people not to flash radio roms more than necessary. Maybe now a few more will understand the risks. Don't get me wrong, signed images from a company "should" be fine, but they are much more risky than just grabbing the OS portion and using that. If the OS portion fails you have next to a 100% chance of a full recovery. With radios and SPLs that is not always the case.

ROFLMAO - that's just a great post

so in reference to the other mogul brick, did you attempt 3.35 (GPS) downgrade to 2.17 (Non-GPS) as the OP asked? or did you try to downgrade to WM5 w/ the GPS Radio? (reference to sig)

WM5 roms (don't use with gps radio)
