Please Help - Proper Steps to loading a cooked ROM

[profets]

Hey All,
i've been doing alot of reading here on xda and have played with and updated several WM devices. didnt want to start a thread but it was my last resort for help.

I've got an HTC 6800 - TITA100 , from Bell mobility. i'd like to upgrade it to DCD's most recent ROM. here's what i've been able to do:

-installed SPL 2.47 bootloader successfully.
-grabbed the 'RUU_signed.nbh' from DCD's 3.2.5 ROM & renamed it to TITAIMG.nbh, placed on properly formatted sd card.
-sent the phone into bootloader (power,camera,reset buttons), it sees the img on the card, press the button to install, and it installs successfully.

this is where the problem comes up. after installation, i reboot the phone, goes to the first splash screen which still shows the Bell logo, and at the bottom i notice D: 3.2.5 , then it goes to a bell splash screen with no other writing, and just sits there.. doesnt get past this splash screen.

what i can do at this point is put the phone back into bootloader, and install the one of the htc/bell ROMs, reboot, and get into the OS without any problem.

is there some steps i'm missing? besides installing the SPL 2.xx bootloader, should something else happen before putting the cooked ROM ?

any help is appreciated !! thanks

What radio are you using?

[profets]

i downloaded this radio to use: 3.42.50

should the radio be installed before trying to install DCDs OS? i may have tried that but dont remember 100%.

to get it functioning again (OS) i use the bell/HTC official rom, which i notice before the bootloader installs it, it shows that it will update bootloader, 2 splashscreens, radio, OS, etc...

incredible.. had tried so many things. flashed the radio, then tried flashing DCD and it boots fine now.. thought i had tried that already..

Yes. It's always good to load the Radio first. I currently cooked my own NBH file that includes the splash screens, 3.42.50 radio, and DCD 3.2.5 rom. That way I can do it all in one easy flash. :D

interesting idea.. care to share that nbh? i guess it shouldnt be hard for someone to cook it up themselves if they have all the needed components

Bump!

I'm having the same issue. I'm with Bell Mobility.

I updated the bootloader with nueSPL Titan 2.47 pack and successfully installed the radio.

Then the device remains stuck on the blue bell loading screen. I've tried radio versions 3.35.04, 3.42.40 and 3.42.50.

I'm totally stumped on how to resolve this. Where do I find the RUU_signed.nbh?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

Press and hold Power and Camera and then press the reset button.

This puts it in Bootloader mode, then run the DCD's rom or Kitchen, when the Rom Update Utility starts, it will detect your phone and flash the rom.

Once the flash is finished, the phone should boot normal, and you can flash any other custom rom to the phone. It's just important to do the first 3 flashes correctly, then afterwards the rest is easy.
