- - 3.42.50 (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35712)

I know I tried that also and when I had that file in the root of the SD card and went into BL mode (2.4) it would flash for a quich second to something other that BL and then go into BL mode so it was trying to do something but didnt and then I read how to it how I listed above but maybe I was lucky because others say it didnt work for me.

At any rate, when I was new to this and was reading freaking everything everywhere I ran into thet by member c3327101 called XV6800 Upgrade sequence and followed some of these directions.

What you guys are looking for exactly though is in STEP 2
************************************************** ******************************************
STEP TWO
In the Hard SPL directory find this file, Hard_MFG_SPL_2.40_RUU_signed.nbh. rename or move it.
I just add a .DONE extension so the RUU won’t find it.
Extract this radio, Titan_radio_rom_3.42.40.zip and place the TITAIMG.nbh in the Hard SPL directory.

Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the same HardSPL directory, following the prompts until it says Finish.
This updates your radio on your phone
************************************************** ******************************************

This is what I did and how I did it.

when i first started to get my feet wet in this area i used this method posted above. it is the least step involved flashing tut here. and it works...period.
there is the other thread that is some good reading and some really good tips on the whats and wheres to get it done, but you will also see the posts i made on thos threads my opinions on each thread--for good reasons.
one is the "advanced" thread, the other is the "novice" way to get things done.

and they both work.-i can personally confirm each one.

this hokie-pokie talk about that not being able to flash over usb is dead. it was dead when people said thanks to the o/p of the steps to flashing your phone.

RD

wow i leave one day and look what happens. thanks for everyone commenting on this. maybe someone can cook that radio into a rom with the correct ruu. but i def do have that correct ruu, so not sure

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i do believe this radio is actually from the touch...
That being said, you try can flashing via RUU but according to posts on XDA you might need to downgrade the SPL, upgrade the radio, then re-upgrade the SPL, which of course is a longer process. By all means though, if your willing to go the long route:

Yes i know that quote is about a different radio, but same basic concept.

It is not exclusive to the Touch, it is just the latest radio for the Touch.....it can be used on the Titan....the latest radio for the Titan is 3.42.40....I have used both and they are equal as far as performance, in my opinion...

can i flash .40 with usb?

You should be able to place it in an RUU and name it RUU_Signed.nbh and flash from there

has anyone seen the need for the upgrade to .40? i read some guy saying he was in a cement bunker and getting gps. if im not adolph hitler and i wont be in a cement bunker is it worth the upgrade?
