Aloha,
I am new to this type of device, so please bear with me. I tried a rom upgrade and it failed, now all my pda will do is go to the bootloader screen, but I can run diagnostic test but that is pretty much it. I cannot do a hard reset, and a soft one does not work. Anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this unit working again. HELP?!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Stefan
It did not work
Because my pda is stuck on diagnostics only, my computer does not recognize the USB it is attached to. If I open up the unit and disconnect the battery, will that take care of the problem?
Is there anything else I can do?
if you use a sdcard reader and follow the guide to get a rom to the sdcard
and enter bootloader it should begin to upgrade the rom by itself
Where can I get a sd cardreader? can I get one from a computer store?

For example yes.
You require a SD-Card Reader/writer and a SD-Card >= 64 MB
Stefan
sd card reader
Okay, I have a card reader. When I soft boot (the only way my pda will turn on) I get the bootloader 5.15 screen up. What next.
Oh by the way, if I did not say it before, Thank you to all who are helping me.
when you follow the guide to put the rom on the sd card
and enter the bootloader it auto upgrade your device with the new
rom
I do not understand what you mean by the guide. I have no guide.

Please excuse me for being stupid in this matter, but when I did as the guide said, I could not find a rom image. Where can I find it?

Come on gui.
Have you ever read a liitle bt here in the Forum or in the Wiki?
You can get a ROm from a provider of a phone, from
http://www.romkitchen.de/ or http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
Stefan
Thank you,
I found them and will try it.
Thank you.
LumpiStefan,
I downloaded and tried to run the flash, but it kept giving me cannot read file because of I/O device error. Now I am getting real flustered. Do you have any advice? , is there some setting that I have to change?
I probably should just find someone who repairs stuff like this.
Thank you for your help so far.
Jdubbs
What have you downloaded and where do you get this error message?
Stefan
I downloaded acouple actually. I downloaded the rom update 3.15.15 ENG but my system could see it because it was a ENG file. I also went to your kitchen and downloaded one of your roms with the standard stuff associated with it for my version of the rom (3.15.15).
I am going to put all of the programs I need on top a disk and take it to another computer to see if that works. My computer may be causing the errors.
Sorry Lumpistefan,
I got the error when I tried to copy the rom to my sd card during the osimage program.
I downloaded the file, extracted it, ran osimage and found the file and marked it as my source file. I used my sd card as the destination drive ( it was labeled as my E: drive on the drop down box, and hit copy. That is when I received the error concerning the I/O device.
I hope this helps you help me, I tried to remember the best I could.
Aloha
LumpyStefan,
I got it to work thanks to your help. But I still cannot get it unlocked. I installed the xdaunlock patch, but when I run it, it says unable to get code.
What setting should my phone be on? and what freq should I use for the United States?
Mahalo,
Jdubbs
Unlocking Process depends on the installed ROM and Radio Version. So what Versions do you have installed?
The freq. you should use depends on your provider. As much as i know, in the US the 900 and 1900 freq. are used.
Stefan
The ROM version I ve is 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version is 3.28.00
I tried to download the special Edition ROM, I got a bad address. Is there someplace that I can download it?
Mahalo,

Hi to all, my problem is that I can't enter the bootloader. in other words I can enter it(power+navigation buttom and reset) but i only see the word Serial and v1.01, and when usb is connected I see USB v1.01 , i can't see d2s or any other information and options. I wanted to flash my rom to SD using Multi-Port/USB TTY . I did a search on this forum but no luck so if anybody can give me a hand I'll appriciate it. Ciaoz Mine is XDAII the german verwsion.
Please anybody can give me a step by step info on how to copy the original rom to SD card, I need to change language from german to english and I want to keep the original german rom just in case. Thx
Does it have to be on sd there are other way of doing it which I will be able to talk you through (I think) if you need a hand
Well I was thinking to flash it to the sd in case the phone goes dead and you're out of activesync so the only way of flahsing it will be through SD. But another way of flashing is more than appriciated so I'll be waiting for ur guide.. do u happen to know why I can't see the options in the bootloader? thanks really
1st ... I have no idea why you cant get into the bootloader. On my xda 2 after a cold reboot i just get the serial and then when in the cradle I get usb, from their I dont know what to do. I would class myself as a newbie as well but I can talk you through what I did.
Which rom is it that you want to flash?
The extended rom or the Os rom?
i'm willing to flash the OS rom and not the extended. My version is 1.03.00 Ger and I want to flash to the "Dangaard (Qtek) 1.60" or RUU16006WWE_T-mobile_NL version which is an english one although I heard some people had their phones dead while doing so. I must find a way to back my rom 1st.. Did u do the update urself??
Yes I did the update using a programme called
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
I was originally after flashing the extended rom only, but due to not fully understanding the instructions at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight=
I made a mistake and flash the Radio Stack - the OS and the extended rom as well. After this I worked out how to use HimUpgradeUt.exe to flash the extended rom only. I am guessing that if you follow the same procdure for flashing the rom and flash the OS you will get the same results.
However I haven't tried it yet. I am hoping to get the radio rom and the OS rom for O2 xda2 and try it but until them I cant confirm it. I am only guessing that it will work?
So its up to you I have successfully updated the extended rom 4 time but I just dont have the files to do it?
Where did you get you Os file from?
I already tried Multi-Port/USB TTY program , but in the instructions it says"
3. boot the machine into bootloader mode (hold the Power and directional pad , then push reset)
4. Run the rompdate utility, select the comport as "wceusb001" or something like that as the default comport." The problem is that After going into bootloader mode I launched the romupdate utility but in the com-ports I only see com1 and com2 ,there is no wceusb001!!. And where did u see the d2s that I hear about??
I've got the downloads from the forum this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6214&sid=0dad85b97d280219dc51962a01a4997b and the other form here http://shop.store.yahoo.com/cellpoint/tmobilemdaii.html
It seems that we are taking cross purposes here.
Using HimaUpgradeUt.exe you can update the roms using .NBF files,
hence the way in which I updated all 3 of my roms in one go.
Radio.nbf
Ms.nbf
Exteneded Rom.nbf (can’t remember the actual name) it looks like you are using a different up loader or have different files to upload. I can only really help with advice on the process that I followed. I can provide you with the files that I had, if you want it will change your 02 format to I-Mate in English.
Does this help?
well I know we have differnet purposes but we should use the same tool I guess if we followed this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470&highlight= and the tool is Multi-Port/USB TTY program to back up rom or extended rom. Please provide me the info to back up the rom no matter if to SD or HD. Thanks for ur time man.
I think that you can try using ositools I will find the link and then post it, but again I am still not sure how you reinstal it afterwards

I am in the same situation with you, have you solved yet?
Serial / USB V1.01
I had the same problem, and I found the cause to be a USB Hub. I found that when I plugged the cradle directly into my PC I managed to load the update without any further problems.
I hope this helps
you have to disable usb or com port in activesync, before trying to connect with mtty, or terminal program.
see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaBootloader
Hi all -
Newbie here, so I'll apologize upfront for any errors. I've been searching for the last 6 hours and have learned a lot, but still can't fix my problem.
I tried to upgrade the radio only, but after that there is no radio version, no phone or internet, system on mda is VERY slow, and I can't connect to active sync. I can get bootloader up, but when I try to install the stock rom I downloaded from this site, it says "no device connected." I've tried to copy it to an sd card and install from there, but that doesn't work either.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
Have you tried this:

Thanks for the try, but says activesync not connected when I
Hello -
Tried this, but it says I need active sync. Not sure what to do now.
Thanks for the try : )
Flashing with SD-Card do not require any Active Sync. So when did you get this error?
Stefan
I guess I'm not sure how to flash from an SD card then..
sorry.....could you walk me through it?
Here's what I did. Per the instructions on the link, I downloaded the special rom 1.1. Then I stated bootloader on my mda and ran Programme A on my pc from the files that were unzipped. When I do this, I get an error message that says "Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial Cable is properly connected." The usb cable is connected directly to my pc.
I know it can connect with the mda, because when I try to install this program T-Mobile 2.24.10 Radio Only it says it updates on the MDA, but nothing changes.
I'm really stuck and appreciate your help.

Also a newbie who is stuck
I've installed program A on my SD card. Then i insert it into my device (MDA Vario, T-Mobile (Wizard)) and follow the next step.
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
But I don't get taken to that screen, instead it starts up to my windows 5.0 (very slow) without connection to active sync. How can I reboot, install new software?
please help

FIrst of all the PRogramm A file isnßt just coüpied to the SD-Card and run from there, but it´s copied in special format to the SD-Card....
Second, and most important, that´s just for the Wallaby device and not for the Wizard. This process will never work with your device.
You should take a look at wizard postings....

I have downloadet ATHE_wm6_x7500.zip file from another threat.
Is there anything that I should think of before I'l go on?
I know I need to take backup first.
But anything else?
And 2 more thing.
I know 3g talk is not working on wm6. Is there something else problem with it?
And is there possible to install the public release when it is released? (after I have installed this version)
Edit: Sorry for bad language.
I'm from Norway. And I spent to little time in my class
Before flashing your device:
Is it sim-unlocked and superCID ?
what is sim-unlocked and sid unlocked?
The phone is bought without simcard og something.
I can use whatever simcard I want
First Unlock
You will first want to download and install the program in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831. Make sure you read all the instructions and understand exactly what you will be doing. Then your phone will be ready to install WM6
I have read the post now.
Do I need to whatch the movie? Or is the steps readable from the exe fil when running it?
I'm in linux now and can't check the exe before rebooting.
Thanks for helping me
The steps are readable during the install but since you might not feel comfortable with english you can watch the video which always helps.
Thanks for the help. Read english is no problem. I'm just bad at writing it
First do the unlock program.
And then go for the rom file that I have mentions in first post?
Thanks again for the help
It failed after step 2. Black screen and nothing is working.
I got no error on step 1.
I have tryed to use cam button and reset to get it in debug?
And I get many colors and some info about firmware.
And there is standing USB.
Others are talking about a loading screen. Where can I find that?

That multi-color screen sounds like the bootloader. Assuming you are now super CID (not sure because your message doesn't say what the "some info" is), you simply establish a USB connection between a PC and your 7500, download the WM6 ROM on to your PC, and execute it. This was exactly my experience (just got to step 1, black screen on step 2). Lot of posts on this, so make sure you do your research before proceeding. Hope this helps, and good luck.
thanks. love it. JUST LOVE IT.
I have fixed it before you posted. mmmm.

Hi I know its been asked for number of times but I can't find the correct answer for this.
I wish to upgrade my radio version to ATT latest radio (HERM_Radinly_1.54.07.00). I have it downloaded from wiki and trying to follow the instruction.
1. Extracted HERM_Radinly_1.54.07.00_CustomRUU.rar.
2. Disabled Active Sync.
3. Entered in Bootloader. Phone connected to machine. Its in USB mode now.
4. Now when I run RUUWrapper.exe, I get a screen where I have to make some selection. And here I need some help. There are following options,
a.SPL 1.01 MFG Bootloader
b.SPL 1.04/1.10 SPL 1.09 Bootloader
c.SPL 1.11/1.13/1/30/1.35/1.40 Bootloader
d.SPL 2.02/2.10 New Bootloader
b. Force Using SSPL
Check Box for Is HardSPL?
Now if some one can help me to find out correct option in the list, I can move further. My current SPL and IPL are in my signature. As far as I remember I have HardSPL done too.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks -nbhor

You are right, this has been asked a number of time... . May i suggest another method to load your rom?: SD card. You do not need to use a USB connection (no risk to loose it) nor a PC and it works perfectly.
1> format a sdcard in FAT32 (use a card of max 2GB)
2> copy the .nbh file to it (Preferably the only file on the card)
3> rename the file: HERMIMG.NBH
4> insert the card and push: OK-POWER-SOFT RESET (to go to the 3 colors screen). It will detect your hermimg file (says "loading" in blue) and describe the content
5> follow instructions on screen.
And that's it ! Just note that flashing a radio rom is slow. This means that you will have the impression that it stops time to time. Just be patient
Oh... by the way, having tried nearly all radios available, 1.47 is for me the best compromize between battery drain and performances (at least in my area). But, once again, this is a matter of taste. Make your religion
Thanks a lot. Actually I have followed the same process while upgrading from WM5 to vp 3G's WM6. But I was not aware that I can use same process to upgrade the radio only. And to my surprise it worked like a charm. Appreciate your help in this matter. I will update you with my experience on this radio version.
Thanks -nbhor
Hi Guys,
I am having the usual radio issues atm, no version showing etc.
I have gone through the wiki and read the thread by POF on the issue and tried flashing a half a million times (ok maybe not but you know what I mean :-0)
So here is my issue now, I would love to try flasing via SD but mine just won't do it, doesn't even ask a damn thing once in bootloader, just sits there.
I am running 2.10.olipro loader and IPL 1.04, should this work for doing radio updates or any updates off the SD card? I can read it fine and copy dump to it from both PC and PDA and I have tried to working cards aswell. Any ideas?
Cheers Glenn
Ps I just noted that nbhor is running exactly what I am running and it worked ok for him - WTF?

Hi nbhor,
Thanks for that, I had read that thread but not stressed much about preparing the cards, a format and error check (which ti my amazment found bad sectors on two brand new transflash cards sorted it and it now tries to flash but still fails unfortunately. Oh well looks like no radio for me again :-(

ATTENTION: Due to the lack of time, to which I sincerely apologize for, I am no longer able to maintain this guide. Also, I am no longer answering PMs in reference to help with this guide.

Hello everyone! Figured I'd put together a step-by-step guide for those trying to figure out how to install HSPL and roms onto their AT&T branded HTC Titans.
************STOP AND PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING************
You are currently required to debrand your phone. DO NOT continue further with this guide if you do not wish to remove your AT&T branding.
This guide is NOT for the HTC Titan II. There is currently, to my knowledge, no way in being able to install HSPL on the Titan II as of this time. So please, do not even attempt to go through with this guide with your Titan II. Not only will it not work, but you never know if doing so will damage your phone.
***For the record, you CANNOT hold me nor those credited below responsible for any mishaps and/or catastrophic failures with your phone. Not even when T-800s start to emerge from your phone! You are following this guide at your own free will and discretion, and as such, it is your own responsibility if you break your phone. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE: read this guide slowly and carefully. Read it through several times, just so you are absolutely sure you understand the instructions. If you feel as though you're not entirely sure what to do on this guide, DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER. Instead, you may post your question down below and I'll try to answer it as best as I can. But I cannot guarantee you an answer nor any help in general. You have been warned.***
************Continuing with this guide means you've understood the warnings and accept all responsibility for your actions************
Pre-installation notes: Due to how the process is still somewhat finicky at best, this guide is NOT guaranteed to work. Also, you have no choice at this time besides having to make a goldcard. There's just no other way.
Also, as listed in DFT's thread: Only Titan phones that have the following MIDs will work: " 'PI39****", 'PI391100', "PI391000' " Also, they've posted an issue about not updating to 4.xx.xxxx.xx roms, as there is an issue with this. Please thoroughly read the thread before proceeding: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912
However, if you do follow the guide properly and with a little lady luck on your side, this guide should help you debrand your Titan, as well as install HSPL on it. If I am missing anything about this guide, please inform as soon as possible, as so I can update this guide accordingly and credit you.
Also, for those looking for a more visual aid, please view Budniu's video on downgrading SPL's and using the goldcard method down below past the written instructions. If they helped you, please thank him!!
Requirements:
Hardware:
-Y-USB cable. I actually made my own easily. I'll post pictures in the following post on how to make your own without soldering.
-1 or 2 gb SD or microSD card. To my experience and knowledge, SDHC and SDXC cards DO NOT work. I wasted money figuring that out the hard way. The way it worked for me was with a 2gb microSD card from Sony that came with the SD card adapter.
-SD card reader, preferably a single-SD card port on it. In my experience, I tried two multi-card readers with no avail. I purchased a regular SD card reader and it worked wonders.
-Optional: Flash drive*
*This is optional, due to the fact that I never had any luck in using a flash drive as my gold card. It may or may not work for you, but the chances of it not working are higher than getting an SD card that won't work. At least, that's just how my experience with this went.
Software (links provided below):
-HTC Eternity EU official rom 1.09.401.02, link will be provided once upload is complete. File size is 410 mb, so be forewarned.
-Goldcard maker
-Goldcard image
-DFT's HSPL
-Optional: HTC Eternity Cingular rom & RUU*
*There is a possibility trying to debrand the phone without downgrading your SPL first may or may not work. When in doubt, it would be better to first flash this image first on your phone before proceeding any further. If your SPL is 1.10.xxxx.xx or lower, you may skip this process.
UPDATE: As found by XDA member Prerna, you do not need to downgrade with a stock Cingular rom prior to flashing a stock Euro rom. Thank you!
UPDATE #2According to both members from different threads, as well as those that have contacted me about this, you are no longer able to download the European rom from its original location. I have thus uploaded it via DropBox, and a link to the download has been provided below. Thank you for notifying me!
*Update*: I forgot to add this, which may account to the gold-card method not working out for you, but you must change the name of the rom you are putting on the SD card BEFORE you make it a goldcard to "ETERIMG.nbh". Otherwise, the phone will most likely not be able to read the .nbh file. Sorry for this!!
Instructions for debranding:
I. Backup anything you don't want to lose from your phone. This process will delete everything.
II. Step Two has been removed as it is now a unnecessary step in this process as noted above.
III. Create your goldcard and debrand your phone:
Note: As mentioned by Prerna, he noted that a manual reboot after using the goldcard method was required. In my case, my phone rebooted on its own; perhaps this may have been just a fluke, I'm not entirely sure. However, based on how sure he was about this, I would then like to add that it is more than likely that you are required to reboot the phone from USB host mode manually to the SPL screen after flashing.
i. Insert your SD card into your card reader and plug into your computer. If you're using a flash drive, just follow this guide the same way.
[*]ii. Once your memory shows up completely, go to "My Computer", right click on where your SD will be shown, and click on "format". Make sure that under "File System" says "FAT32" and under"Allocation unit size" is "4096". IT CANNOT BE ANYTHING ELSE. Whether or not these settings were enabled, select "Start", only if "Quick Format" is selected. Once it completes formatting, time to find your downloaded goldcard maker.
[*]iii. Open up the goldcard maker by right-click, select "Run as Administrator". When it opens, make sure your SD card appears in the drop-down box next to "HTC MMC:".
[*]iv. Ignoring the top portion with the CID options, go down to where it says "Load GoldCard.img". Wherever you downloaded the goldcard image, select it and click "open".
[*]v. Click on "Patch MMC" and wait for it to complete. The debug log window will let you know whether or not your card was successfully completed.
[*]vi. Once you successfully made your goldcard, you will then drag and drop the .nbh image file into the SD card. Once completed, safely eject your SD card and reader.
[*]vii. Next, plug the reader with the card into one of the female ends of your y-cable (assuming you either purchased one with a female end on it or you followed my guide below). With the power-only male end of your cable, plug that either into a wall charger or into your pc (preferably a back port if on a desktop).
[*]viii. Next, you want to power off your phone, give it a kiss, and boot it into USB-Host mode. The way I did this was while holding the Volume-Down button and the Camera button, I plugged my micro-usb end into the phone, while the micro-usb cord was plug into my y-usb cable. This will make the phone boot on its own and into USB-Host mode.
[*]ix. If you did the following correctly, your phone will display "Entering USB-Host mode..." momentarily, before switching to a "loading" screen. You should hopefully then see the phone reading the image file on the SD card and performing the debranding. Your phone will reboot one or two times back into USB mode.
[*]x. If the debranding was a success, your phone *will reboot back into SPL mode with the update rom version*. In my case, I rebooted my phone back to normal instead. If the startup screen says "HTC X310e", then the debranding is a success.
*As mentioned above, it is more than likely that the phone WILL NOT reboot back to SPL mode on its own. In my experience, it did. Either way, if your phone does not reboot back into SPL mode on its own, then simply reboot the phone back into SPL mode via Volume UP+DOWN+Power button.
IV. Goldcard part II:
i. After confirming that you DO now have an unbranded Titan, you will now proceed to redoing the gold card method once more. This time, however, you need to delete the .nbh image you placed on your card and place the one that can be found in the DFT .rar you downloaded earlier. To find it, simply extract the contents, navigate through >DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1>1_SPL205>TITAN>ETERIMG.nbh.
[*]ii. Select this file and place it onto your goldcard (assuming you plugged it back into your computer properly (not attached to the y-cable) and deleted the previous ETERIMG.nbh file on it.
[*]iii. Once it's on the SD card, remove it once again and follow steps "vi." through "viii." of the steps for the goldcard instructions, disregarding anything about it being debranded. This is only an upgrade flash.
[*]iv. Once it reboots properly back into the SPL screen on its own**, make sure that the rom version has been updated to 2.5.xxxx.xx. If not, you may have done something wrong, and if you're able to, redo the process more carefully.
**Again, as mentioned above, I've been told that this isn't entirely true. It's more than likely that the phone will not reboot back into SPL mode after flashing. If it hasn't, manually reboot into SPL mode. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
V. HSPL
i. Once confirming you have 2.5.xxxx.xx on your SPL screen, you will now proceed to the final part: enabling HSPL. What you will need to do is navigate once more into "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1" (the .rar file you downloaded from DFT), and go here: >DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1>2_HSPL>DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe. Open the executable and properly read the instructions.
ii. Enter SPL once more on your phone and plug it into your computer, making sure that it says "usb" in black letters towards the bottom portion of the screen.
iii. Click next on the program and read careful about what requirements you will need on the computer. Typically, it should all be there, but it never hurts to make sure.
iv. Take a deep breath and click next. It will attempt to connect to the phone. If it succeeds, continue reading the instructions the program will display. If it does not work, recheck your wire connection and that you have spl 2.5.xxxx.xx on your device, and that it is in SPL mode.
v. Make sure you select the rom version that you have (it should be the only selection there, but just make sure it is before continuing). Select next once you've made your selection.
vi. It will install HSPL. Once completed, the phone may reboot itself back into SPL mode. If it has succeeded, underneath where it shows your rom version, it will either have "DFT" or "CotullaH" written there. Mine says "CotullaH".
VI. Finished!

Thank you so much- just what I needed.
Will attempt this as soon as my Y-cable arrives.
Also I heard report that usb flash sticks also works.
Nice tutorial. (+) for your hard work.

Yeah I should have made a note about that as well. However, when I attempted to use a flash drive, it had never worked for me. I must've tried 8-10 old 1gb-2gb drives, no avail.

I'm going to guess what happened, since it's somewhat difficult understanding your writing, but I have a feeling you might have done something wrong and semi-bricked your phone. If you can only see the first two lines when going into SPL mode, I'm pretty sure you bricked it. At this point, you might be able to try to downgrade to a stock Euro rom, but I cannot say that it'll definitely fix it =/ sorry.
Does anyone know if this will work for Titan II also?
Thanks
Ugh none of my flash drive or card reader works. Can anyone who successfully debranded their HTC titan recommend me something?

It might pay to re-look at the steps you did to make your gold card before trying different sd cards. First, is the timing of copying ETERIMG.nbh file- original instruction of making gold card from MaryFetus is to copy first the .nbh file into the msd card then run gold card tool to patch the card. Or try running the gold card tool first and once this is completed then copy ETERIMG.nbh file into the msd card (goldcard). The latter step works for me recently to get rid of F400. See if this works for you. Goodluck.

no avail. I might try Kingston data traveler or SanDisk cruzer where people reported success. If anyone else like to chime in and add working flash drive or reader help yourself

Could my Y-Cable I purchased from Ebay be faulty?
When I connect my Y cable to computer, one cable reads my Flash Drive fine, however, if I connect to the other cable (using usb gender converter) the Flash Drive lights up but it isn't read by my computer (just powers on)
Is this normal?
