Bootloader Update Issue

[scarin]

OK I received a brand new xv6800 from Verizon today. Haven't even activated it yet. Wanted to update it first. So i downloaded Hard-SPL-MFG.exe and ran it. I get to the boot loader screen and it reads 2.40. Then the directions state disconnect cable and reconnect. I do that and the boot loader shows that it is connected via USB, however I cannot get a new activesync connection unless i restart. But when i restart lose the 2.40 bootloader. and the update errors out. I have tried the titan exitbl file but it cannot find the usb connection.

What am I missing?? Do I need to go the SD card route (dont have one yet)

My bootloader is 1.04

Any help would be appreciated

Don't worry about activesync after you replug it in. Just keep following the instructions. As long as when you plug it back in, it says USB at the bottom, just keep going.

Ok that sort of worked. Now im stuck at the 2.4 bootloader screen Fun stuff

You can run the fix from here (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229).
The same fix is probably posted here too I just don't know where.

See this (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=344480&postcount=20) post. It worked for me.

Im working on radio and got it from your link but there is no link in the post to a kitchen i was going to downlod the latest one fromt eh lifesnotgood link which is called "dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2.rar" that should work right?

I have never used DCD. I use ppckitchen.org. You may want to consider just loading a custom ROM first unless you know how to install and use a Kitchen already. Sometimes it is easier to flash a prebuilt custom and get your phone working, then start cooking and flashing your own.

[Ga. Medic]

With the ppckitchen you don't have to do carrier cabs, you just select your carrier in the kitchen.

OK i really appreciate all the help and I know i sound like a total noob but went to ppckitchen and everything i see is a kitchen i dont see a full rom, what am i missing

[Ga. Medic]

They only have the kitchen to make a ROM. belive DCD has some custom ROMS.

Thanks for all your help all installed and running, now just need to activiate with verizon

I could've swore that b4 I'd upgraded to Sprint OEM ROM v3.56.651.0, I could update to Olipro v2.40 via SD. Now, however, I'd had to do so via USB. Am I mistaken? Can you not use the .nbh file in the .exe pkg? I like bein' free of HAVING to use a desktop to accomplish PPC tasks.
Thanks, Everyone.

Just download DCD's 3.2.2 ROM on the 1st page of his post. He has a kitchen AND a ROM.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407376

As for using NueSPL 2.47, DO NOT use it until No2chem has finished his research on downgrading XV6800's.... While it has distinct advantages over olli 2.4, he's not sure about downgrading the bootloader to 1.X versions..... That is if you ever have to take your phone into verizon for service....
