Re: Simple steps to flashing your own rom
 

So going back to your original post - the steps to flashing your own rom - from the vzw 6800 perspective:
1) run olipro 2.40 (Hard-SPL-MFG.exe(ver2.40)) to upgrade the bootloader and unlock
cant use spl2.47 because I'm at a non-gps firmware/radio state
is TitanUnlocker.exe an acceptable equivalent choice?
2) run Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30.exe to upgrade the radio.
3) honestly not clear on what the winrar step is for does - most of the rom images only have the RUU_signed.nhb - like the ones from ImCoKeMaN, No2Chem, & NexVision - the ones from SBR_L3GIONN & Dette do have extra files and executables. So are these executables compatable across the different images or does each author have their own customized set? I suspect compatable but don't know for sure. The dcd_titan_3.2.0.exe is just that an executable not a rar - is it a self-extracting zip or an executable that has everything built-in? Also your link to the ftp site doesn't work on my computer - following the link on the menu above it now gives a different url.
So, I'm still confused about the after radio section of your walkthrough. Maybe you are just presuming facts that you think are in my chain of evidence - which of course they may be and I'm just not connecting the dots. So are you expecting me to unpack a file(s) here and if so which ones?
4) Download and unpack the main rom image.
5) Find and execute the romupdateutility.exe
6) After flash is complete reboot by removing and replacing the main battery.

Where is the carrier cab suppose to run if it does not run automatically?

Thanks again for all the assistance and your patience.

pretty much every custom rom out there is a GPS rom now, do use the SPL as olipro 2.40 is also gps rom only it will be fine as long as you upgrade to a GPS enabled rom. you dont want to load the stock vzw rom, you want to first load a sprint rom with the gps, then load a custom rom. run the nuespl, then run the latest SPRINT rom, then load the custom rom, after that you need to run the verizon carrier cab file not rom.

the extraction part is from the latest stock (or leaked) sprint rom is to pull the files out of the self extracting exe to create the RUU folder. if its an .nbh file then you dont need to extract anything from that. the .nbh file goes into the RUU folder

I checked the link, for some reason the ftp site doesn't like me linking into folders I guess. I updated the post but just go to ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com then Titan then Users

I have never used titanunlocker.exe so I cannot say on that one. if you can successfully get olipro 2.40 on your phone, just use that, then after you get your custom rom on it, install nueSPL if you are having too many issues installing it first.

Re: Simple steps to flashing your own rom
 

Color me confused.

OK, So...

1) olipro 2.40
2) Flash Radio ROM to 3.42.30
3) Flash Sprint GPS Image (please supply a version # of one that will work so I can download it)
4) Run nueSPL 2.47
5) Flash latest Sprint Image (supply ver # here too please)
6) Flash VZW Custom ROM to overwrite the Sprint Image
7) Install VZW Carrier Cab if not done automatically with the image.

Does that about cover it? Seems a tad bit easier if you're with Sprint (DOH!)

Re: Simple steps to flashing your own rom
 

1) olipro 2.40
2) Flash official sprint rom release off of htc's website
3) flash whatever custom rom you like
4) Install VZW Carrier Cab if not done automatically with the image.
5) install nueSPL (optional)

This is only a first time pain, after this, you just do 3 and 4

Re: Simple steps to flashing your own rom
 

What about the radio ROM update - or is that covered by using the HTC Sprint ROM?

Re: Simple steps to flashing your own rom
