GPS Upgrade Fails Phone Possibly Bricked Please Help

[spatha]

Any help would be very much appreciated.
I was attempting to upgrade my phone to gps capabilities using this guide
http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-...00-titan-2663/
Everything was working fine but i accidentally skipped the step after running the unlocker, (Once it has been completed, launch the device’s software update. Follow the instructions on screen for the updater.), and went straight to running the baseband radio firmware update and finished. I don't know how i missed it but i did. After several hours of frantic tinkering trying to get back to the original rom, i think im completely screwed. I am stuck at the alltel carrier screen, cant connect to activesync so i dont know how to load the original rom, i can get into the bootloader i have used the exit bootloader utility but still gets stuck at alltel screen on restart i have tried the relocker but cant connect to activesync

Sorry for the lengthy paragraph but would be extremely grateful for any help.

the thing you should do is download a sprint official rom and then a custom rom...hold down the power,camera,soft reset button and will restart in the blue/red/white screen then the usb should work...download the install from the htc mogul update site and then install dcd kitchen and click your carrier and make a rom there you goo, hope that helps boo

I did something very similar to my phone on Saturday. My laptop decided to get flaky and kill my usb in the middle of the antenna install. My phone was stuck on the Alltel logo at boot and when I booted to the bootloader and tried to run the Alltel stock firmware from Windows it would only go a few percent and then fail. I had to extract the nbh firmware file from the alltel exe file, copy it to an SD card and then start the phone in bootloader mode. Thankfully this worked and it put the phone back to factory operation. Here is what I had to do:

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS HOWEVER BEFORE UPGRADING!!!!!!!!
* You MUST have either a stock bootloader or a re-locked bootloader for this to work properly. otherwise, you'll get crashes during the upgrade process. The installer seems a little flakey, so just remember to have the titan_exitbl app if you get stuck in bootloader mode. then, just boot back into your old ROM and try again. you'll get there, mine failed four times before I got it right.
*search for ImCoKeMaN's re-locker on this forum to find the relocker SPL with accompanying titan_exitbl app.
I chose to install everything first (Sprint customizations), and then I did a hard reset and skipped the customizations. I also upgraded my PRL by downloading the 60611.prl file and using ##PRL# function to install it.
EDIT by ImCoKeMaN:
The old unlocker doesn't work with this rom, get the update here:

I have found that if you have issues where your device seems to be bricked and stuck in bootloader before completion of the update you can fix it by flashing via SD card.
To do this there are 3 steps:
First take the .exe file and open it with winrar. There will be a file 3.16.....nbh extract that and rename it to TITAIMG.nbh
Next format a microSD card with FAT 32 (required most are fat16 default) and copy the file TITAIMG.nbh to the root of the sd card with a card reader.
Finally place sdcard in device and reset into bootloader mode. The flash will proceed from the SD card and it should work fine. Enjoy!

Today I was able to get the radio updated and running no2chem's 6.1 using the information here:
