okay look. look around for a rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=57 then let me know which one you want to flash to and ill help you out cause if you just flashed the radio then thats your problem you need a rom to you need 3.49 or 3.56 rom to go with that radio

I really do appreciate all of your patience. But, using the link that you supplied, I can't seem to find any ROMs that are labeled 3.49 or 3.56.

I can't believe how many problems I am having.

This site disappeared for a little while and because I just hate having idle hands, I finnally found a ROM, flashed it and, like the idiot that I am, I let the Sprint Customization run!

I did manage to find all of the stuff to restore the phone back to "Out of the box" and a quick call to VZW got the damn thing working again.

Now that I have some education, I will do even MORE research and start the whole thing again.

I would very much like to thank you for all the help and patience.

Ok I saw someone with this issue but it didn't sound like it got resolved so here is my problem (one of many)


Running rdizzle rom for a few months no problem. Last week my phone started going to the BL screen when I would soft reset but I would plug it USB into the charger, soft reset again and fine.

Today went to reload the ROM, got into the BL screen, got to the percent screen, then there was an error.

tried again but noticed when it got to the update page on my PC the image now is blank. I have tried multiple ROMs all to no avail. I always get a communications error. I even tried loading from SD card and that didn't do anything (although I'm not sure I did it right)

Then tried the 2.17 rom and the progress bar started moving got to 2% then stopped saying the it doesn't work with this hardware.

right now I'm in the BL screen and it says the following

TITA100
SPL-2.06.0000
CPLD-9

I tried running the 2.40 SPL and it didn't run either. any suggestions?

you're device is now locked you need to unlock device again before using custom roms. if you load from bootloader (or softSPL as is done for 2.40 unlocker) the RUU will show current image as blank that's ok, you can use neuspl for unlocking from SD if needed

Thanks now that I know it's locked I threw a newer ROM on there. I had to go from 3.35 to 3.56 I couldn't go straight to the latest release.

BUT.....

Now that I have it working with the official roms now I'm having another issue. EVERYTIME I do a soft reset it drops into BL screen. Only way to get it out is to plug it into the wall power supply USB while plugged in. Do you think this is a hardware issue and need to call sprint?

Well it used to be... and there's always a bunch of sticky's atop the titan forum...
My guess, that means i dont know for 100% FACT, but my guess is one or more of the following:

1) Too Many Sticky's Already in Titan Forum
2) Easy to find this thread with a search (about the 10th result if you search 'stuck bootloader')
3) Many regulars are aware of this thread and can quickly link to it (for the n00bz)

I have a theory that 3.35 doesn't really allow full radio updates. That is something that could cause random type issues. I would suggest re-flashing the 3.35 and seeing if the issue still occurs.

Called sprint, called HTC and called UTStarcom, verdict was a replacement phone, lucky I was able to get it flashed back to stock and locked. Thanks for your help.
