View Full Version : I screwed up.

So I was in the middle of upgrading to the "Official Sprint Rom" using 1.2Olipro in order to jump on the DCD 3.0.1 bandwagon. I guess this was a bad idea because the phone rebooted at 11% and now I'm back to the bootloader. The problem is, I don't know what to do. I don't want to make things worse so for now I just left it in the bootloader.
Prior to attempting the flash I was running
DCD 2.0.0 /w Radio 3.27 (2.4Olipro).
Just before I flashed the Sprint rom I flashed the 1.2 bootloader.
I'm stuck, what do I do now?

You didnt need to install olipro 1.20. Install olipro 2.40 again and you will get your device bootable again.
You may find that you have fried your radio. when the device reboots after the olipro 2.40 is back on you can check the message on the first screen to see if the radio is there or not. If there is no radio just reflash sprint 3.35. If the radio is there the device will reboot into your old configuration.
Then just flash the sprint offical 3.35 and this will give you then new radio. Then flash dcd 3.x.x
The instructions are right in the first few posts of the 3.0.1 thread.

I can't install 2.4 because it requires an activesync connection. The phone is currently in bootloader so no activesync. Should I reboot the phone? I don't want to make a bad situation worse.

you dont need active sync, put in bootloader and plug it into the computer and run the bootloader upgrade...should work

You might have to flash a radio and rom via sd card method. The radio and roms will have to be compatible with olipro 1.20 otherwise it will continually reboot once it is all flashed.
I am sure there is a method to get you back to olipro 2.40 without activesync so you might search a bit first. But if you cant find out how, then the sd method above will at least get you back working.
Unfortunately dropping back to a non gps radio (compatible with olipro 1.20) will probably hose your MSID etc so I hope you wrote them down.
Anyone more knowledgeable than me might comment further but do a bit of searching in the meantime.

I have 2 .exe's:
Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and titan_SPL_2.40-olipro.exe
when I run either:
*
* P4000/PPC6800/xv6800/Titan/Mogul UnLocker utility
*
* Total process may take about 5-10 minutes depends on CPU speed.
*
Connect your device via activesync before continuing.
Press any key to continue . . .
Initializing

When you reboot, do you get a screen telling you the bootloader, radio and rom versions?
To exit bootloader to check, you can use ImCoKeMaNs exit bootloader program.

SOLVED!
I was able to flash Sprint v2.09 ROM. After the phone rebooted and the Calibration screen came up I was able to upgrade to Olipro 2.4. Right after that I ran the 3.35 Sprint update which went through. As soon as Windows was back at the calibration screen, I went back into 2.4 bootloader and ran the DCD upgrade. Up 100% and incoming calls work so it looks like the MSID was preserved.
Cheers,
Tom
