Outdated bootloader fix?

[Snoman002]

I'm posting this problem for a friend who is new to PPC's. He picked up a titan to turn it into a racechrono lap timer, unfortunately it's stuck in an outdated boot loader and no matter what he tries it says no radio. I figured the experts on CDMA devices here on ppcgeeks could help him out since he is getting no help over at xda.

Now, in his own words.

I am trying to use an xv6800 given to me.
Problem is, the device will not boot into the OS.
The White Verizon screnn comes up, and at the bottom it says:
---------------
M09 No Radio
B03
D 2.17
---------------
So, I have done a bunch of reading and searching. I have gone through tons of info on the following pages:
HTC_Titan
TitanFaq
TitanStockHome
TitanOtherHome
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392133

I can get to the Tri-color screen (bootloader mode)
It says:
---------------
TITA100
SPL-1.20.Olipro

Serial
---------------

I would post pictures, but I am not allowed yet?
Anyway, from what I can gather, I need to load a radio and OS for that version of the bootloader. So far, I have been unable to do so successfully.
If look at the pictures in my gallery, you will see some of the progress.

There are tons of "step-by-step" instructions around, but either I am not savvy enough, or there are pieces missing.
Any advice?
