You should be able to put the radio in an ruu and install it I believe.

yes, but you need to rename it b4 you transfer it.

-or-

you can just put the radio in an RUU and make sure you backup your data

Hi GaMedic, Puff

I put the radio in an ruu and the ruu started but then said something to the effect that it couldn't program the rom. I tried my idea of putting the radio on the sd card and that didn't work, probably because you cant formate the sd to fat 32 with activesync.
It wold probably be worth it if somebody wanted to retry those things though cause I may have had other problems when I tried it.

I feel like everyone is having the same problem and here is everything you need to know, cook a rom it's worth it! get 6.5

best USB cable option is to start with olipro 1.2 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332381 then boot to the windows touch screen message and then install the new Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50 here http://www.geek-pages.com/rom/Titan%...%203.42.50.rar with active sync and RUU through the windows touch screen setup window, your computer/activesync will see your phone in the touch screen setup window. Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50 is awsome, I get 2 bars in my house when I couldn't even get a signal with sprints crappy radio. You use RUU to install the titan radio which you get here ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/RUU/RUU.rar you extract the .nbh titan radio file out of the zipped folder and put it in the RUU folder where ever you extracted it to. Then you run the romupdateutility.exe and install the radio to the phone, you have to have activesync connected to run RUU. Reboot the phone and when it get's to the windows message telling you to touch the screen run active sync again to install olipro 2.4 and boot back to the windows touch screen once again(if you can't boot out of olipro2.4 use this cmd line ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...tan_exitbl.rar and make sure Wcesmgr.exe Wcescomm.exe Rapimgr.exe are all disabled in task manager before you do)
Then run active sync when the phone is at the windows touch screen message again and cook up a rom, I personally am now a big fan of wm6.5 21501 which has been great so far, might upgrade to 21815. To cook get build OS http://ppckitchen.org/Downloads/BuildOS.msi and get cooking! pretty self explanitory, make sure you update and also select titan in update selection area.
A side note, You have to use olipro 1.2 to install the new titan radio if you are using a usb cable, otherwise if you have a sd card you can just install olipro 2.4 ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...rd-SPL-MFG.exe
and then install the titan radio with a >2gb sd card with titan on it in the bootloader without installing olipro 1.2, your choice. Not worth buying a sd card for!!

oh yeah the card needs to be FAT32, what error on the PC?
did u try settings - connections - usb to pc - disable advanced network functionality?

[jetcat]

I am trying to unlock my rom. I go to the step by step process and get hung up when my phone is in the bootloader screen. I disconnect the usb and reconnect but I cannot reconnect active sync to finish the unlock procedure.

BuildOS? PPCKitchen? there's a few different 'buildos' kitchens, so not sure where your nbh came from, but...

if you have an nbh you will need to decompile it
depending on the way it was built it may have protection and may not decompile/recompile correctly
it would be better to find the original basekit, or even the original kitchen

I think this should be a sticky!!!
