Hey -- if you are going to use No2Chem or DCD ROMs -- their last builds (5041, 2.2) have some issues. Just beware.
Have fun!

OK, my USB install keeps flaking on the 3.16/3.27 radio. Installed via sd card with no problems though...

So... what are the issues with the latest No2Chem and DCD ROMs?

Thanks quantumforce1!!! I got it all up and running... just waiting for GPS to kick in at some point... :)

ok newb question... i did everything right but every time i ran 3.16 i get stuck after it loads (not in the tri color boot load screen) but after the part where u reset ur phone and u get the sprint logo... on the bottom it says 3.16... but no matter whos rom i use it wont load after that... the only rom i am able to use now is telus wm5... im so confused as to why none of the roms i have work... any ideas... ive tried everything for the last 3 days... ive been three days wit out my mogul some one help me b4 i go crazy!!! hahaha... no but really any thoughts???

Okay so I am stuck at Step 4. I downloaded the file to my computer but now what?? When I try and open it on my computer nothing happens? Do I need to put it on my phone?

I feel like an idiot, but I am already stuck at step 1..

I have a Verizon version of Titan running an official carrier ROM. (never flashed)
I have so far.. HARD resetted the device back the factory default. and dialed *228 to re-authorize the phone use.

Later, when I dialed ##778# to get the ESN, MSID, and A-Key info..
I get a Verizon voice system telling me that.. "Your call can not be completed as a dial.. blah blah blah.." and I never see the EPST menu.

Could anyone please help me get through this step..?

Thank you in advance. :)

1. Get your ESN, MSID and A-Key info:
>>> a. dial ##778#, that will launch the EPST configuration menu
>>> b. select view
>>> c. make note of your ESN (Hex) value
>>> d. make note of your ESN (Dec) value
>>> e. make note of your MSID value (looks like a 10 digit tel number)
>>> f. select <view info> and select A-Key
>>>>>>Some carriers leave this blank, some need this info
>>>>>>If there is info here, make note of it now
>>> g. click <cancel> to exit the configuration menu

Okay, I figured it out.

It is just ##778 for Verizon.

When I get to step 4, the RUU starts, I hear the beeps, the phone blanks out for a moment, both the PC and phone show 0% - then it finally comes back and says "invalid vendor ID" - so no 3.16 ROM and no custom ROM. What should I try to get the 3.16 loaded? Thanks is advance

I got exactly the same problem with the same version of Titan.

I loaded the 1.06 SPL relocker(as suggested) that I downloaded from here, and it properly shows 1.06 version on the tri color display now.
However, when I try to load the Sprint version of 3.16 ROM(as suggest by OP on step.4).. I get "Invalid Vender ID" after remaining at 0% progess bar for a few mins.

So I tried to load the DCD version of ROM for the Verizon Titan and it says..
"Error[262]: Update Error".

Could anyone please direct me to the proper step out of this mess? :(

Thank you in advance for your help. :)

Can someone verify if their windows live/hotmail push still work using 3.16 rom? Mine stop working after i updated my phone...i really need the push mail and would go back to 2.17 if theres no fix. Thanks in advance.

6. Download a custom rom of your choosing.
>>>One that is real popular is DCD's .. click here to give it a try
>>>Another one that is very basic (no thrills) is by No2Chem .. click here (this is what I personally use)
Warning: These 'upgrade' custom ROMs are mostly test and can sometimes be buggy. But it can still be fun.

Updated Step 6 to include a warning.
