Wiki states instrux for 1.06 but not 1.04 bootloader

[serfboreds]

My bro has a Titan and is thinking about having me upgrade but I saw that his bootloader version states 1.04 not the 1.06 that mine was when I flashed (and also the one that the wiki says too). Is the process the same? Should I just use unlocker then upgrade to 2.40 then install radio then DCD? A little wary as it is not my phone. Please be specific when answering. I am planning to do the most recent radio and rom.

In order to flash a dcd rom you need 2.40...Go through the same process you would in order to flash a 3.1.x rom.

So it still needs unlocker then 2.40 right? or is unlocker unnecessary now?

Who is his carrier? As forthe bootloader question, I'd be asking Ollipro... I've not seen a bootloader 1.04....

bootloader 1.04 is the "stock" verizon bootloader you should still update to the 2.40 if you plan on having any 3.xx.xx radio's

Just to clarify...

When the phone ships it comes with SPL-1.04 which is the stock bootloader, which is why it doesn't say Olipro.

1.06 is also a "stock" bootloader provided by Olipro which allows you to flash stock roms/radios.

Thanks, I have been flashing since the time you needed the old Olipro to flash the radio and when my brother once before flashed going straight to 2.40 it caused problems. I haven't had a new phone since then and wondered if the unlocker was still necessary. I am gathering that it is not and that you can go straight to 2.40, am I correct?

i've been reading for a while, and someone wrote that it doesn't matter about the bootloader when returning the phone to the store as long as you have the stock rom. i'm using the newer stock rom (3.35), though i did use the unlocker to put olipro 2.40 on it a while ago to mess with other roms.

the work order for the replacement mogul is already in and it (the new or refurbed mogul) should arrive tomorrow or the next day. should i go through the trouble of putting the stock bootloader on there if i already have the newer stock rom from htc/sprint on my phone?

also, i read that sprint has no warranty (or it's only 30 days). i use total equipment protection for $7 per month (which is how i'm getting a new or refurb mogul because of a case fracture). i'm using the newer stock sprint rom (with gps) and my bootloader says olipro 2.40.

does anyone think that i should be worried if i don't do anything before the new one arrives and just give them the cracked one?

i clearly didn't read the terms and conditions closely enough to find anything that tells me not to modify the bootloader or really ANYTHING about the bootloader...is total equipment protection a warranty that i could possibly void by putting olipro 2.40 on it even with the sprint official 3.35 installed?

I wouldn't worry about it. 1.06 is not the official stock bootloader either, 1.04 is, and I've swapped out my xv6800 a couple times with 1.06 on it and the Verizon stock rom. They don't usually check the bootloader. Just make sure the new Sprint stock rom is on there with radio 3.35.04 and you should be fine.
