Bootloader upgrade w/o Activesync?
 

Is there any way to change the bootloader to 2.4 or above without using activesync?

My Alltel 6800 is stuck in bootloader version SPL-2.07.000 and I can't seem to do anything about it. The titan_exitbl.exe file doesn't work other than to reset the device back into the bootloader. I'm pretty sure upgrading to the lastest ROM from Alltel (3.35) may have been the culprit. I didn't realize I needed a version 2.4 bootloader for the GPS roms... but hell, I didn't know any of this and was just upgrading from a stock older Alltel ROM to their latest stock ROM! It shouldn't have crapped out the device, but it did.

you should be able to flash your device directly from bootloader. but if not then look up nue spl

but being stuck at bootloader aint gonna help you actually have to run that spl from your sd card

but you can flash from bootloader whether it be from sd or computer.

True, but I think the problem is that the stock Alltel 3.35 ROM doesn't load properly if the bootloader is less than version 2.4... When I installed it, it upgraded my bootloader to 2.07. I read elsewhere that no GPS-enabled ROM (i.e., 3.35) will work without a bootloader of version 2.4 or above...

So either something is wrong with the device itself, or HTC didn't make their 3.35 upgrade file properly, and neglected to put the right bootloader in.

The problem is that you need to be in the OS in order to run the nuspl and upgrade your bootloader...


...is there any way to upgrade the bootloader from the bootloader?

not that i knowof but you if you connect it to a pc it wont show up but you could still flash itunless you dont have a pc then flash a rom see if it will stay long enough for you to run the nue spl from your sd card all you have to do is run it once your in the os

Re: Bootloader upgrade w/o Activesync?
 

Well that's just it... I can't get to the OS. All I can get to is the bootloader. I can flash it over and over again with the ROM I have, but it won't leave the bootloader. I can't load a custom ROM because it.s SPL-2.07. I can't load a different bootloader because you have to be in the OS. I can't be in the OS because you need a different bootloader.

Maybe this thing is bricked.

Alright, I guess I need to send it back. Maybe the replacement won't be so temperamental.

you sure you are flashing the complete exe of the rom? it will reset the device a few times. You shoudl extract the 90+mb nbh file and flash it via fat32 sd card as TITAIMG.nbh
