Possible Phone Bricking, looking for assistance

[Zxurian]

Bear with me as i'm technical, but not 100% up on all the details needed for ROM's and what not.

I've got a Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) that i've had for a while. Today I decided to try switching to DCD's v2.2.6 Sprint ROM.

These are the steps I took.

1) Reset phone to factory defaults (hold down both soft keys, reset phone, etc..)
2) Downloaded Hard-SPL TitanUnlocker from here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1538775)
3) Ran it, it completed successfully, wiped the ROM on the device.
4) Downloaded dcd_titan_2.2.6_sprint.exe from here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367574)
5) Ran it, it completely successfully, progress bar went to 100%, app said it was loaded.

When the phone reboots now, it gets to the yellow Sprint screen, but doesn't move past it.

I've tried resetting it back to factory defaults (step 1), but it still stops at the same point.

Anyone have any ideas before my only choice is to bring it back to a sprint store?

It looks like you missed step 4...Flashing Radio 3.27.

Thank you for the information.

Yes.

I thought it was supposed to boot fully into the new rom before I loaded the new radio. I found out how to get into bootloader mode (Power + Camera), and it reads
TITA100
SPL-1.20.Olipro

Then loaded the new 3.27.00 Radio ROM, everything loaded successfully.

Now when it retstarts, it gets pass it, goes to the Windows Mobile 6.1 start screen, then starts the screen calibration wizard.
After ~ 3 seconds go by, the device restarts itself, and has been doing so constantly since then without fail. Once it hits Windows Mobile setup screen, I stop to setup the device, and about 3~5 seconds later, it restarts.

I'm going to try reloading all the ROM's in order again using the bootoader (Titan Unlocker, OLiPRO, DCD v2.2.6, then 3.27.00 Radio).

Any other ideas if this does not work?

When you go into bootloader mode it should say SPL-2.40 Olipro. It sounds like the Unlocker didn't go through. Try running the unlocker again and make sure it says 2.40. Then go through the steps of flahsing the ROM and Radio.

yea, I caught that after I saw the v2.40 people were talking about and mine only said v1.20

Apparently I didn't download the right unlocker file, but got the right one, and went through the steps, so now it says v2.40.

Reflashing the dcd v2.2.6, followed by Radio v3.27.00

Thank you for the assistance. I will update if there's additional problems.

if you run into additional problems, a method i find easier, is first flashing the official "leaked" 3.16 rom. Since it includes both the rom and the updated 3.27 radio.

Once you have that loaded you can load any of the roms compatible with that radio such as any of the dcd roms.

note: in doing this you will not have to install the radio rom, it was already installed as part of the 3.16 rom so you will only need to flash the program rom.

I find this less confusing.

hope this helps,
