I was trying to upgrade my rom to 3.27. Now it is stuck at the loadscreen. Did hardreset, took out the battery AND did a softreset. Somebody help ASAP!

Sorry i posted this same thread in the applications forum.

Do you mean the bootloader screen???

Try reading this if so: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...uck+bootloader

No. more like the startup screen after I used the bootloader and the rom (3.27 radio) updater. The very first screen that pops up after the phone is reset or turned on.

Re-flash the Rom it sounds as if you didnt let it finish.

After it is all finished and the phone starts and loads up to Today screen, do a hard reset. Then when re-starts again, thats when you should start loading your apps back up.

Problem is that ActiveSync doesnt recognize the phone in the usb port and its necessary to flash with the phone connected. Am I right? How can I reflash the rom? Is there any step I'm missing? Thanks for the reply by the way.

You will have to extract the nb file out of the RUU_signed.nbh file and rename TITAN.nb and then you will have to put it on a FAT32 formatted memory card, the stick the memory card back in the phone and hard reset.

I extracted the files and all I see regarding the NBH files is the Titan_radio_3.27.00.nbh file. Is that the one I'm looking for? The only RUU files I see RUUResource.dll and RUUGetInfo file. Tell me what Im looking for and where. Thanks.

One thing I did figure out is that I loaded the radio before the ROM and I think that is where the problem lies. I still dont know what to do by the way. I've done everything I've been told but I think thats the main problem. I even took the RUU_signed.nbh file from an older rom release, renamed it to TITAN.nb (and .nbh) and still no luck.

There are three parts to the "operating system" of your phone.
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.
