Re: Titan ReLocker - The Hard-SPL undo option

Newbie here... Have looked at many threads on the topic, and can't find an answer to my question. Please pre-forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to put in as much detail as I can. Sorry if it's too much detail.

I have a relatively new Telus P4000/6800/Mogul. Wanted to activate the GPS, among other things. Read lots of great things about installing the Sprint ROM, and then putting a custom ROM on, and (at the time), how easy it was to go back to the standard Telus ROM. Everything worked great on the upgrade to the 3.35 Radio, and the nuchem custom ROM, along with the Olipro 2.4 bootloader. Was really running beautifully for the last few weeks. No problems at all.

Yesterday, woke up and the green LED light was on, but no display what so ever. Tried a few things, finally had to remove the battery and start again. Symptoms on boot are, vibrate happens, LED doesn't display yellow, it goes straight to green and stays there. No other apparent activity. It does not even display the ROM/Radio version numbers. When I insert the power cable, the LED does not change to yellow as normally happens, it stays green. When I plug it in without powering it on, no LED lights at all (even after a very extended wait). I definitely have not dropped it, left it in a humid environment, dropped it in water or anything. I have been extra-ordinarily physically careful with this phone.

Other bizarre symptoms are that through the two button / stylus reset, I can get the tri-colour bootloader screen, and I can even (seemingly successfully) install a new system ROM (ie, I can rewrite the custom one I have that was working for some period of time), I cannot get it to boot. Have tried the hard-reset as well, and even though it goes through it's re-write sequence, it fails to boot.

Without going into recent forums, as I had downloaded the utility and the instructions prior to trying the 3.35 based ROMS, I did try the RELOCKER from imcokeman (bless you), but it appears to need a functioning system to work. It does not appear to function from a bootloader tri-colour screen.

Question for imcokeman or anyone else who may have bricked their phone reverting back from a 3.35 ROM to a 2.x ROM: When you mentioned your phone was bricked when attempting to do this, does bricked generally mean you can't even get to the bootloader display? If you can get to the bootloader display, does it display the stock bootloader, or still the Olipro version? Ie: would someone be able to quickly tell from your bootloader screen that you've been messing about?

At this point it looks like my possible paths are:

1) See if I can find an alternate battery to try out.

2) Possibly test another ROM to see if it boots.

*** Tried the DCD 3.0.1 ROM. Now I get the red "No Radio" message on the 2nd screen, and the looping reboot.

3) Based on the responses to what people see when there phone is bricked after a revert, is there anyway to get the TITAN Relocker to function when you can only get to the bootloader prompt?

Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks.
