[cornelious2]

Is there anyone out there that hasn't flashed their phone before that found anything here helpful/confusing?

I'm sure there will be people that won't know what they're doing and will read this. I just wanted to bring this up because I was just recently able to get Olipro 2.40 to install through 64-bit Windows, it's frustrating when you're new to flashing and don't know why it's not working, as was my case

Yea, It took me over a month of reading the stickies and posts before I was comfortable doing this, I think sometimes once the process is realized to be super easy, we loose the point of reference the newbies have coming into this and kind of gloss over parts that we think could be assumed, so I was trying to make this as simple step by step oriented as possible. How did you go about getting olipro working on 64 bit vista? I guess with the nuespl its not as important, but still might be worth noting.

Had to replace every reference to sleep4 in the batch file with pause. I had found the suggestion over at XDA.

For the oilpro 2.40 program, where is the batch file after extraction to edit (i.e. what filename is it)? Thanks!

if your having problems with olipro, use the NUEspl its better actually, but be warned if your micro sd card is not in fat 32 format, it will get wiped when you format it.

The batch file is Titanunlocker.bat, you can edit it with notepad. But like cornelious2 said, it's easier just to use nueSPL. And btw, I assume no responsibility if editing the batch file doesn't work, it did work for me though.

yea, just backup your sd card, if you have one besides the one that comes with your phone just use the one you get in the box, if you have just recently or are soon getting your phone, just download nuespl first thing, use it to format your sd card, then update the bootloader. make sure you have nuespl on your device, or when you format your card it will error out because it will get deleted after the format.

Yes. I do have some questions and confusion about SD rom flashing. I've flashed several roms via usb to my 6700 and recently to my 6800 and it's never failed to be a headache. So the potential to bypass those problems and flash via the SD route is very inviting.

But I have a few points of confusion after reading this thread and GaMedic's tutorial on the subject.

1. Does the unlocker file (I'm using the nueSPL-2.47) need to be run only once to unlock your phone, or does it need to be run each time you flash a new rom? (I suppose another way of asking this is, "Does the phone re-lock itself after each new ROM is flashed?)

2. I installed the new radio (3.42.50) via SD and it's working fine. And installed a new 5067 kitchen via SD and it's working OK, but I need to re-cook the ROM with some different features and reflash. However I haven't yet been able to accomplish the re-flash. I can get to the bootloader screen (SPL-2.40), but when I put the ROM in the SD card's root directory and try to flash it (pwr/cam/reset) the tricolor screen goes away for an instant, during which time the gray screen says "loading," but then the tri-color instantly returns and the phone just sits there, seemingly doing nothing. I'm obviously doing something wrong...I just can't seem to grasp what it is!

O great ones, take pity on your uneducated fellow mogul-traveler and enlighten me.

1 once your mogul is unlocked its unlocked till you run the relocker
1a nuespl is version 2.47 so you are probably running olipro and not the nuespl you install nuespl by running the exe on your phone not the sd card but the phone memory. (your memory card will get wiped if you dont have it already formated to fat 32 so make sure you back it up. it will format your card.

2 are you renaming the nbh file to TITAIMG.nbh ? I dont know if its case sensitive but I always did it uppercase TITAIMG and lowercase .nbh
