My guess is that you need to flash a rom. What did you do to get to this state.

Is there program that runs on the device to do the same as titan_exitbl? My 6800 does not have a working USB connection to a PC any longer. I can load programs to the device via FTP which works just fine. I also have the micro SD card to move things between devices.

Here is my situation. The 6800 has been running stock ROM and radio just fine for many months. I loaded spl 240 oliopro many months ago but never used it and it always stayed in the background.

Tonight I was running a regular SPB backup and after it finished the 6800 flashed up the tri color spl.

The only way I could get the device to start was to remove battery for a bit then fiddle with reset and push some buttons and it comes back to life. It does not boot with the SD card but that was reformatted and works fine if inserted after the device reboots without it.

I installed neuspl 2.47 and it does the same thing. Reboot device and tri color spl screen pops up.

Not sure what to try now other than reflashing rom but it seems like that is not going to fix the spl stuck condition.

I think this is the beginning of a hardware failure. When I had this if I plugged a charger or anything into the usb port then the device would boot. You could try this but I dont know if it will work since your port is messed up.

Thank you as this appears to be my situation. I discovered, as you have, that if I plug the device into the charger then it boots fine.

The mini USB plug is messed up. The pins got mashed up and I tried to straighten them up. Got enough working so charging works but USB data connection is broken.

Guess I need to figure out how much trouble it is to replace the usb connector. What options are there for restoring function to USB connection?
