Unable to update ROM, please help
 
I thought I was prepared to upgrade, but apparently not because I'm stuck and need some help. Sorry to be annoying, but I messed with it all night and can't fix my problem.

I had a stock never-upgraded Verizon xv6800. I ran the standard Titan unlocker. I then upgraded the radio to 3.35, but after I did this it will restart and then stop at the Verizon splash screen and never loads Windows. So I tried putting it in bootloader to upgrade the ROM to a GPS ROM, but it failed a couple times and then finally was going but got to 10% and stopped.

Now it doesn't get out of bootloader and I can't update the radio or ROM version because even if I could get out of bootloader it doesn't load Windows.

Can someone point me in the right direction to fix my problem or to get my phone back to the starting point?

Help is much appreciated.

Hi, teamgood. There are ways to get out of bootloader. Try reading this thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ght=bootloader

If it were me, I would get it out of bootloader using the program offered in the thread above, then I would pull the battery, then reinsert the battery and hard reset the phone. It might load then.

The above procedure has no downsides, if it doesn't clear up the problem, then other measures like reflashing the radio to another version may be called for. Try this first.

Remove the battery for a few minutes. It was in the ROM update instructions somewhere, but it worked for me.

What standard un-locker did you run? What version? 1.20 or 2.40? I hope you used 2.4....

i ran 1.2 and now i can't use 2.4 unlocker since I can't sync with PC anymore.
I thought you had to update radio to 3.x before you could use 2.4 unlocker - so i used 1.2 to unlock, updated radio, and then was going unlock w/ 2.4 and update ROM.
I'll try to use the program to get it out of bootloader and do a hard reset - but I'm afraid it'll still get stuck at the Verizon screen.

No you needed to run 2.4 then flash...the issue you are having is that because you used 1.2 you are unable to flash the radio properly....that is why it is stopping at 11%.....what you need to do is start trying to flash a stock rom....try em all until you get one that works you may need to try flashing from SDcard formatted at FAT32.....pull the signed NBH file out and rename it to TITAIMG.NBH and move it to the card then enter BL to flash...then re-start the whole process after you get it up and running.....use the nuespl2.47 in my signature instead of the 2.4 Olipro it is the latest un-locker...

-used sd card to flash back to stock Verizon ROM.
-used nue2.47 unlocker
-flashed new sprint ROM to update radio to 3.42 and didn't run customization
-flashed DCD's 3.2.5 ROM and the carrier cab and I'm back in action.

Okay, same exact scenario. But what do you do if you follow the instructions and flash the rom from an SD card, and it FAILS?
