1. Bootloader (also called locker, unlocker, re-locker, SPL)
2. Radio
3. ROM

The three components are saved in discrete portions of the device's memory. Flashing one does not overwrite the others. All three must be compatible for the phone to operate properly. If you stop the upgrade process recommended by the ROM compiler prior to completion, your phone may not operate properly. If you flash the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, it contains all three components.

To use the 3.16 stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on the stock OEM 3.16 ROM, you must have a level 3.xx radio and a level 2.xx bootloader. The current implementations of those are the 3.27 radio and either the stock bootloader distributed with the "leaked" 3.16 ROM package, or the Olipro 2.40 unlocker.

If you are running a level 2.xx stock OEM ROM, or a custom ROM based on a stock 2.xx OEM ROM, you must have a level 1.xx bootloader and a level 1.xx radio.

Custom ROMs are not always named using the OEM convention, so you must research the custom ROM to determine whether it is based on a level 2.xx or 3.xx stock OEM ROM.

To flash from SD card:
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 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.
6. The phone will tell you to press the power button to flash the ROM; do so.

I hope this helps all of you get your phones back up and running.

curious- is there anyway to flash a RADIO to 3.XX from a microSD?

What exactly do you mean "reset into bootloader"?
