Radio Upgrading - Thought I understood....

[sudermatt]

I've read the Wiki, searched, read the FAQs, but nothing really described how to do what I think I want to do.

How do I upgrade my radio?

I have been following DCD's wonderful (thank you so much), ROMs and just installed 3.2.2 last night, so I'm not unfamiliar with the process. Then I realized that I was on an old radio. So I tried to upgrade. Here are the steps I followed.

1. Downloaded the latest radio (3.42.15 ?) nbh file.
2. Placed the nbh file in the RUU folder of the 3.2.2 kitchen.
3. Ran the RomUpdateUtility.exe that was in that folder.

It looked like it was pushing it to my phone when.....
I got an error after the phone said about 4 or 5%.


I'm sorry for the lame-o-nubie-like question. I really thought I understood this process.
What am I missing?

Thanks for your patience.
Matt

Upgrade radio by placing radio .nbh file on sd card and renaming TITAIMG.nbh, force bootloader and press power to install. You will not hard reset your phone by doing this method but you will by using RUU.

FYI: if you use this method, I'm pretty sure the SD card has to be FAT32 formatted.

True, I didn't cover that but there is much I didn't want to have to cover in my quick response. Make sure to read the wiki here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TITAN_GettingStarted)for full instructions on formatting and flashing.

Edit: He did say he read the wiki, but as a counterpoint he tried to paste the nbh file into the RUU. Rule of thumb is to always follow the wiki to the letter for best results.

Hi sudermatt,

Almost all 3.xx radios are having problems flashing via RUU. Bite the bullet and pick up an SD card it will be well worth it.

The verizon phone doesn't come with one? My sprint one came with a 512MB one that I keep around to update with...

Hi glenl,

Correct, the Verizon XV6800 does not include an SD card.

can i flash my radio this way using someone else's card (for his Hermes) and it won't disturb anything on the card, and then he can delete my files after?

as long as the card is already formatted properly... otherwise just back up his card's contents and format it appropriately (fat32) if need be. make sure its not a high-capacity MicroSDHC...

You can unlock and install official signed rom that includes radio.
Then overwrite OS custom rom.
