I had a problem with it crashing when flashing a custom 3.16, so I flashed it straight from the microSD card and it worked perfectly.

Look at the bottom of the first thread here fore instructions on doing it this way.

Were you using the new RUU or an old one? I have heard people mention problems with the RUU from this update and i'm just curious if it's a possible issue. The one in my folder is the one i used and i haven't had issues yet. If something comes up i'll be sure to give more details. Either way more details are needed to pinpoint what the problem is at this point because people have definitely done it.

I tried the RUU included in the original release, the RUU Shadowmite provided, as well as an older one I had laying around from a previous custom rom install. All gave me issues on the original released ROM as well as Shadowmite's. I haven't run into this issue with any other pre 3.16 ROMs.

However, SD method worked fine for me.

Anyone running an x64 OS, just ignore the sleep4 errors and keep hitting the enter key. It will flash 2.40 on your PDA.

I tried to install the 2.40 Bootloader to install DCD new radio 3.27 and Rom 2.0 beta, when I flashed the new bootlader it still shows as SPL-1.20.0lipro, is this the correct bootloader? I flashed the radio and it shows on the splash screen and DCD 2.0 rom but it keeps reseting and I am now sitting in bootloader SPL-1.20.01ipro, how do I get the right bootlader?

For some reason when I have this bootloader installed my phone will not come out of sleep. I had to revert back to the stock bootloader.

I am running 2.17, I tried to run 3.16 and thought that my problem was 3.16. When I reverted back to 2.17 the problem was still there. When I put the stock bootloader back on, it works just like it is supposed to.

I think I am doing everything right. Has anyone else see this?

I tried both an old RUU and the new RUU that came with the GPS ROM (renamed my custom ROM to 3.16.617.0.nbh) and it still did the "ILLEGAL COMMAND" at 1%. I'll give it another try today and will also try the MicroSD method.

New SPL works with new radio and rom. They are a package deal. Anything older can't mix and match at this point. you need to reinstall old unlocker if you need old rom back.

Hope that helps clear confusion, i updated first post

The ROM itself is new, it's a cooked version of the 3.16 ROM, but extracted and built using Tadzio's tools and Dutty NBH tool patched for Titan.

I just tried the old RUU again, the LED blinks red for a second and the phone reboots. I get ERROR [328]: INVALID COMMAND at 1%.
The new GPS RUU, when I rename my custom nbh to 3.16.615.0.nbh and replace the existing one, it gets to 15% and then I get an UPDATE ERROR.

However, I tried the MicroSD method and it worked perfectly, my custom OS.nb is working just fine! I was going to release an Alltel version of the ROM, but it took me so long just to get this far that several people already beat me to it.

Any way of getting the new SPL to work with Vista64?
