after rom flash it just went dead, no light, no bootloader no nothing.
tried hard reset, pressing different button and it wont work no bootloader to load other roms.....
What ROM did you flash? I read this before that someone flashed the wrong ROM to their new HD2 and bricked it. I couldn't find the posting. I think there wasn't any solution since you need the bootloader to flash the ROM. The only suggestion was to find someone that can factory program the phone and hopefully restore it with the correct bootloader and ROM.
Sorry to hear it, but hope it helps
more info would be a good start. which hd2? what rom? hspl2? hspl-1024?
ah Sorry about the missing info.
HSPL2 on a tmobile USA version.
HSPL2 installed flawless it went dead right the way after flashing the ROM-Version:RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship
well there is your problem. The tmous 1024 only supports roms based on a 2.10 base. You have flashed a 1.72 based rom. I dont know if it recoverable, you should start in the rom development section. (And also the new tmous rom develoment section.)
Best of luck.
Also, (and do correct me if I'm wrong here) but I'm pretty sure you want to avoid ROMs with Radios since (I think) that will brick the USTMO HD2 as well. (unless of course it's the same/TMOUSA radio)
IM with you... just done bricked my hd2 right now to. wanted to test UK rom with im running tmous.... Everyone warned me!

im guessing sometimes a thread gets so cluttered that it gets too long for a person to read each post and then just skips around. im guilty of doing that and sometime i do miss some vital information.
hope you can unbrick your hd2.
i got a telstra coming that i will be using on at&t, hope i get all the info before i start flashing mine

I wanted to ask if you ever managed to unbrick your HD2?
I flashed the same ROM - which is SILLY - and bricked my HD2 - only 1 day old...
I am hoping if anyone could find a factory bootloader so that I can have my babe reflashed to TMO???...
Pls pls help...
Can someone help me unbrick my HTC HD2 give me link HELP!!!
I hate to say it, but the reason that it's called a 'bricked' phone is because it's not fixable (at least not at this time, and likely never).
If you can't get to the bootloader there's nothing you can do.
NOthing yet guess? as long we could always turn it back to tmobile. Which I did so Im getting mine this week. I love tmobile for customer service. Anyone knows how HTC goes about refurbishing these brick devices?
someone needs to find out how htc goes about with these refurbish devices. we need engineers on xda!
what has been bricked can't be unbricked!

they almost certainly either use a jtag connection or just swap out the bios/bootloader chip. Id bet a years wage theres nothing they can do over usb.
In short if u have flashed a tmob rom on a standard hd2 or vice versa your device is ****ed.

actually I'm pretty sure the tmous roms will work on normal hd2, after all, every cooked rom that unlocks the 576 ram is based on the leaked tmous roms.
anyone confirm for me please?

I can't confirm, but that's what I always thought as well
So much for it being impossible to brick an HPSL flashed HD2!
If the bootloader isn't loading at all, you have absolutely no hope of restoring your device via USB and if the bootloader isn't loading, you wont be able to restore it from SD either. The device needs to be responding to USB commands for it to be flashed via USB. Does the PC detect the device at all when it is plugged in?
I am not familliar with the internal archetecture of these devices, but if the bootloader is stored in a dedicated chip, you can theoretically boot the device with another bootloader chip, then hot swap the chip to your dead one and reflash the device, but this of course relies on the chip actually being plugable and not soldered to the motehrboard which I highly doubt would be the case. I have done this successfully on computer motherboards when I have farked the BIOS with a bad flash, but those chips are PLCC plug type chips so they are easy to hot swap.
The only other option is to reflash the chip via a JTAG connection, but this would have to be done by HTC or a service center with the appropriate equipment.

These are the instructions I spent many hours looking for. Also, I know most people know, but just in case... Loading a ROM does wipe your device. Make sure you have all your info synced or backed up someplace.
- Doc
First, I Followed andykwg's instructions to the letter:
(here is his Post,but in case you dont want to go there, here are the instructions)
ANDYKWG:
Thanks POF, my 8525 is unlocked, but I have gone through hell with Vista so just to let you all know that "don't try these upgrades on VISTA".
I have read many posts and finally got it to unlock. In any case, here is what I did (on a XP box with activeSYNC 4.2 - it is running all the time for each of the steps below):
1) on XP, connect the phone to XP and make sure ActiveSync see the phone. Run the exe in 1.30 ROM for Cingular to download the SPL to 1.04. After this the phone will reboot/restart itself.
2a) On XP, with ActiveSync running and connected, run POF's MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe within the unlocker v2a xip file to upgrade the radio to version 1.16. If it fails with ERROR 114, go to step (3); else go to step (2b).
2b) If the first time failed, DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE. Run the exe again and the second time should run fine. There is a 114 error at the end and it is OK. Once you get the 114 error, soft-reset the phone before next step.
3) On the phone, flash with POF's unlocker (v2a) ON THE PHONE MEMORY HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe (in the zip file same as above download for unlock v2a). There is a success notice at the end.
That is it. Hope this help someone.
Andy
DocHoliday:
Now, what Andy Doesn't say here, and people have asked, is Yes, you are now unlocked and SuperCID.
Ok, I went a step further.
I loaded the South African 1.35 ROM. Why? Faster and about 15% more battery life to boot! There are a few things to consider before you go to SA 1.35. Your boot loader will now be SPL-1.09. Make sure your device is unlocked before you go to this ROM! If it is unlocked and SuperCID, it will remain unlocked and SuperCID after the ROM Update. If you installed the update before unlocking, I think you are out of luck. I have seen some threads that say you can change back to SPL-1.04, but nothing conclusive.
3 things you will notice after you load this ROM and how to fix them:
1. Keyboard Special Characters are out of Sync with the Keyboard (-, _, ;, :, etc...)
Most people said a registry entry fixed theirs, it did not for me. Here is what worked. Download this Extended ROM. Copy ShortString_Keypad_XML.CAB to your SD, then run it. Softboot, then Keyboard Special Characters are fixed!
2. Keyboard BackLight:
Disable the light sensor! With the SA ROM, the light sensor is too sensitive and doesnt work properly.To disable: Settings (on the 8525), Buttons, Backlight tab - Clear The Checkmark! Keyboard backlight now works when you press any key.
3. May not be a problem for some, but Phone skin is God Awful Lime Green! Yuck! (my opinion...)
Fix Phone Skin an download the skin of your choice...
Anyway, Hope this Helps someone. Took me a while to research and I wish I had my post when I first started. Many thanks to POF and the other contributors to XDA without which we would be limited to the ROM's the Carriers stuck us with! Good Luck all!
great
Thanks!!!! I want the perfect 8525 rom/radio/ext rom. Trying to decide what radio to include.
sucess with cingular 8525 1.34.502.1
thanks d0ch0liday..i loaded a t-mobile sim and started working right away.
Glad you guys got some use out of it.
It may be buried somewhere in the instructions, but definitely make sure you have a solid USB connection to your computer. Definitely DO NOT try an upgrade going through a USB hub!
Also make sure your battery is well charged... ;-)
Excellent advice, thanks...
some folks at ebay are selling Unlocked 8525s (like in this link), i am curious that if I buy one of these, will it be definitely SuperCID?
Hi there...long time no using a WM device and all the things with this CID and locked devices become a bit complicated to me...So I bought a M3100 unlocked with pof V2 and I have successfully upgraded my Radio version to 1.27.00...but now I want to upgrade the ROM too...I assume that my device is CID unlocked as I was able to upgrade the radio only...but a strange thing...I have no extended ROM on it...so can I upgrade my current rom with the SA 1.35 rom without problems...?
Regards and sorry for the noob question

Probably not SuperCID. These look like they may have been obtained directly from HTC or they may be test units. They say new, but you new means never opened. It doesnt tell you how long they have been on the shelf. Since they are HTC, even if they were test units you would probably be ok. Anyway, you would probably still have to do POF's unlock to get it to SuperCID. Hope this helps...

You should be able to load any ROM you wish once you load POF's unlock. SuperCID and SIM Unlock stay with it...

i really don't think they are test units..any way, do you think it's a good idea to buy one of these? they're like 200 bucks cheaper than tytn... btw, can I update them later on through Cingular's website? and is it possible for my device to become Locked on some carrier again if i flash it with the wrong Rom?

Definitely not SIM locked. If it is not SuperCID and you plan to switch ROMs from different carriers, then make sure you CID unlock it prior to do any upgrade.
thank you pof!
just one more thing, have they ever shipped 8525 with bootloader 1.09? if they do, is it possible in any way to flash a rom from another carrier after CID Unlocking it?

First this is an excellent Primer for those of us with Cingular phones ( or people like me who have one on order and want to be ready to tinker )
Has anyone found a reason that the SA ROM causes the light sensor issue?
Also is there a way to bring the phone back to virgin/stock if the need were to arrise (as in the phone died)?
quick question from 8525 users: what is the input voltage range for 8525's travel charger? is it 110-220 or just 110?

Not sure why the light sensor happens. I also noticed it happened with the 1.30 ROM as well. This is the ROM you load to downgrade to the 1.04 bootloader. I didnt really like the sensor anyway as it definately did not do well in ambient light. As far as getting it back to Cingular stock, just load the latest Cingular ROM 1.34 and it should be close enough. Thanks for the compliment. I wrote this just for that purpose. I spent quite a while looking for all the answers, I learned alot, which is i think POF's and the others intent. But it was very consuming and wanted to save others the uncertainty of not following in someone's footsteps. Again, thanks.

I had my wizard upgraded to WM6. I was trying to upgrade it again to PDVait3 WM6. I was running the Shell tool. Even after an hr didn't go through, so I killed the process. When I reboot my wizard it stops with the bootloader screen. There is no usb at the bottom. This is what it reads
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 10.1.0.811
No usb at the bottom of the screen. Active sync doesn't connect.
Is there a way to bring back the usb connection.
Any help will be appreciated.
If you see bootloader, it is not a brick
Hi,
im not a Guru on this, but i had a similar problem.
I THink your phone is not bricked since you get to the bootloader,
ActiveSync wont work since there is no OS on your phone, but nevertheless the USB is working and you must flash a need OS through there.
Download the Wizard Love ROM, and keep it always in hand since it works 100% of the time.
Unzip it and then run: newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe
Thats pretty much all you need to do.
It will flash the wizard love rom, and youll get your phone up and running again in no time.
Dont stop or kill the process until its done, you will notice it hangs around 14% and 96%, it will complete , dont stop it, it takes about 10mins or more.
If you want to try a new OS, like WM6, read the first sticky on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480&page=14. I have use this method and i went from Wizard Love rom to PDAVIET4. Then from PDAVIet4 to Aku3.3v2 (but did not work). I flashed wizard love, and then using the method i went from Wizard Love to Aku 3.3v2. Works like a charm.
Please excuse my english, im spanish.
if you have any question, mail me.

Yup, don't be afraid. Currently I have faria's 3.3 ROM, and it doesn't show anything. Take any G4 ROM, load into bootloader, then connect to USB and flash. Good luck!
Thanks for the response edgardito.
I tried flashing with Wizard Love but no luck. It gives an error pretty much saying check your usb connection to the device and computer.
The problem seems to be the Wizard is not connecting to the PC. I went from AS 4.5 to 4.2 but no luck.
Is there any other thing I can try? Please let me know.
I am attaching a jpeg showing the screen. Resolution might not be that good.

This is just a boot splash, put the device in the tri-colored bootloader mode as described in the wiki. If you are getting that boot splash you should be able to get into the bootloader. Try to flash again using your carriers original ROM (whole RUU intaller) if you have it, but do not use the one from HTC's site. Try 1) In activesync disable usb connections 2) kill activesync processes (wcescomm.exe) on the PC using task manager before running the RUU.
Check your PM's
It works !!
Thanks guys for the help. The solution was so simple. Just had to put the phone in the boot loader mode by holding the camera button and pushing the power button. I loaded Wizard love on it.
Thanks to all the people who helped put together Wizard love. It has saved my a$$ so many times.
I am having trouble following the guide above. I have the Love rom and it gives me this error.

Bricked G4 Phone
I bricked my phone. I already upgraded the MDA from WM5 to WM6 and had used it for over a year when it suddenly became slow. So I attempted to do it all over again in order to have a fresh install.
Right now, when I attempt to boot, it gets stuck on the screen:
IPL 2.26.0001
SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.18.0.0
I can get to the boot loader screen by pressing the camera and reset buttons.
I have tried flashing with SD but no such luck. I got an RUU file and renamed to different things and placed on the SD card, no luck still.
When I get to boot loader screen, I see the USB sign on the phone when USB is connected. But all attempts to get to the phone from PC proved futile.
PC is Windows Vista.
Thanks!

PC with vista is the problem here,but you cannot flash any custom build wm6 rom straight like that,as its a G4 device,first you'll have to get it 'HardSPL' anf than upgrade.
Download and flash official stock rom to recover back to its default status,then get it HardSPL and than upgrade to wm6.
this is my first post and as you'll learn quickly i'm a total newbie. I'm such a newbie that you'll find a picture of me on the dictionary entry of noob. anyway, on to my problem.
About a month ago i purchased a HTC Hermes, more specifically AT&T 8525. My cell phone provider is T-Mobile. I googled AT&T 8525 unlocker and sure thing found this great unlocker. Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a. Needless to say the unlocking worked perfectly. My phone ran Windows Mobile 6.0 Pro.
Fast forward about three and a half weeks ago and my friend got the same phone off ebay. He has T-Mobile too and I told him i would unlock it for him since mine worked flawlessly. Well, his phone runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pro. I started the update process on the computer and here's what the screens looked like

My phone did not ask me to press yes. Then i checked the boxes on the setup and was ready to continue
After pressing next it showed this
The progress bar remained at zero then this screen came up
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j120/mnn2k/phone/Untitled8.jpg
I have tried over and over again and get the same error. I have tried using different USB ports, USB cables, and two computers, both running vista but i have had no luck. now the phone is be in the tri-color mode and it won't do anything. All the screen says is
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Olipro
If i can't fix it i guess i will have to give my friend my phone and will lose a lot of money. Any help is appreciated. I tried doing a search and all the posts can't help me since i don't know much at all when it comes to phones.

Seriously though, do some research on the Hermes Mobile 6 part of the forum as I believe someones started an updated list of current roms.
Cheers.....

Okay, i'll stay away from that. but i still can't flash HardSPL on my phone. it gives me error 260.
1) i uncheck the allow USB connections on WMDC
2). i run the SPL-HERMES.exe on my phone and connect to usb.
3). run ruu_wrapper.exe
I also read the guide here http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/hardspl and nothing.
Then i tried using the Unlocker but that gives me the same error 260. i have tried the SD card method but mine is a 4gb microSDHC. my phone recognizes the card and i renamed the .nbh file. So i launch spl-herm.exe and nothing happens. i do hit the power button. still nothing.
When running SSPL-HERM.exe it says i have SPL-1.09.ds. when i do a manual bootload it says i have SPL-1.40.Olipro
what did you rename the image as when you placed it onto the sd card?
I know a lot of people have renamed the file incorrectly?
Also, I know people who SWEAR they formated fat32 but when I did it again using the same card freshly formatted it worked.

i did format it with fat32, quick format and normal format, default allocation size and 4096 bytes. i know i said i am a newbie when it comes to phones but i'm not one when it comes to computers. i would rather have Hard-SPL flashing first though, and also i have no Radio ROM currently on the phone.
The fact you have no radio is probably your BIGGEST problem.The no GSM error is what makes most bricks. Up til now there is no reliable surefire fix.
Looks like you have a PDA on your hands but no phone functionality. You can load an os only rom - generally they are the cooked roms, but you have more chance of jumping off a cliff and instantly growing usable wings than fixing this in a hurry...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. but thats why the unlocker won't flash on, it replaces the radio rom to something that allows the sim/cid to be unlocked.
You should still be able to flash Hard SPL on but don't pick any roms with the radio cooked in as they WON'T flash.
Cheers...

yeah i kinda thought that was the case. Since the unlocker replaces the Radio ROM, but the frustrating thing is that the HardSPL isn't flashing. Stupid VISTA. Let's say i am able to flash HardSPL. can't i flash a Radio ROM only? or the original ROM found on the wiki.
Maybe, people somteime can recover their radio roms flashing a radio only rom or the original shipped rom, BUT, if this doesn't work then there seems little hope of you actually fixing this problem.There are quite a few threads with numerous "I got it working" posts but then those same people are back the next day bemoaning the fact that it didn't work. If by some miracle you do get it working, make sure you post what happened and how you fixed it but wait a day or two to check it really is fixed or just faking you out.
Good luck, I think you're gonna need it....
And don't get me started on Vista

WOW, first try on XP and HardSPL flashed like that (snap).
Hi guys,
my bootloader screen appears to be corrupted.it doesnt show the PB81110 but instead shows a weird symbol and HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
cotullaHSPL
Image is attached below.
I did hard spl using HSPL 2 tool by cotulla,but i dont have the regular first line of the boot loader.
The problem is I cant get into my phone i cant install any rom or radio or do any kind of flashing and anything I try,the process stops or exits in the halfway,showing invalid device error or connection error.
I tried flashing through my SD card too but it too doesnt bring my phone back.
The error I get now on switching on the power button is
flash type 5510BCAD
power reason 1
BOOTUP_W_PWR_KEY_PRESSED.
I tried mulit-port tty and tried task 29 to unclutter the ROM too but it showed way too many errors.

1- when you originally installed hspl, did you get the confirmation "we did it" or whatever?
2- did you ever have the "right" hspl first line? not sure what hspl2 looks like, but you are right, it is different than hspl3.
3- when you flashed from sdcard, it most likely removed hspl. can you get to bootloader? if you can, you will be able to save the phone. if you can, what does it say?
4- what phone (us or not?) do you have? what rom were you using? what were you flashing?
Thank you so much for the reply.....
I dont speak english in my country(india) so pardon my english!

Yea.I got the confirmation that 'we hacked it' on my mobile.
2- did you ever have the "right" hspl first line? not sure what hspl2 looks like, but you are right, it is different than hspl3.
No, i never had the first line right.
But when i switch on off for many no of times and getinto the bootloader screen i get the first line correct,maybe 200 in one time but at those times when i eagerly try to connect to the PC i dont have the word 'serial" or 'USB" mentioned on the bottom white column of my bootloader of my mobile,and still if i ignore and try to connect to the PC the pc doesnt recognize my phone during that time.
3- when you flashed from sdcard, it most likely removed hspl. can you get to bootloader? if you can, you will be able to save the phone. if you can, what does it say?
'when you flashed from sdcard, it most likely removed hspl' -----Tht's what i 've read in forums too.But the image(sorry I dont have a good camera,i know the image i posted isnt clear) i posted is what the bootloader screen i get with

I bought the phone in singapore,model no 'T8585';so it not a 1024 US.I am not particularly sure what ROM i was using all these days(i mean before the flashing).
I m a bit new to this flashing so initially i flashed it with 'RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe' from htc singapore website and that is what led to the all the trouble...
I tried to unclutter it with Task29 provided by doloop and it didnt work out... but somehow after that i tried to flash with 'Duttys_2.5_5.23146.5.3.10_3.14_HD2_ML_Family_ROM_(V7)_ASIA-WWE' but nothing worked.
But after trying so many times.... i found that sometimes all the above stuff did complete the flashing and sometimes it didnt complete.
But whatever i did, whether the process of flashing completed or not i could not get the phone working.
The image i posted in the first post is what i get as bootloader screen.(on pressing the pwr+volUp)
When i press the power button i get a grey screen with text as
'flash type 5510BCAD
power reason 1
BOOTUP_W_PWR_KEY_PRESSED'
i further read the forums and I tried using a SD card to flash but it failed too at the radio install menu.
my MP-tty results are in the attachment of my first post.
I did run it like 4-5 times.Only once i got the results as expected. USB3.txt attachment.
I think the bootloader is corrupted.. but i dont know how to fix it.
Somewhere i read that JTAG tool(it costs 60% of the phone price) may help in writing a bootloader .. but it requires to open the phone and too much complication involved in it,which i dont want to deal.
IS there a 'soft' way to rescue my phone?
Srry to tell you this but you bricked your phone as I see it you installed an incompatible rom to you phone. But if you have hspl installed than all you do is go to bootloader mode connect phone to computer then install a stock rom.

Well, i too installed an incompatible ROM (I was NLD version, installed WWE) with HSPL, but the beauty of it is that HSPL allow to do this.
an incompatible rom wouldve been flashing a 1024 HD2 with 512, and he didnt do that.. Also, he used official HTC roms on the website, and ASIA it seems is the correct version for him to use (he had to input serial on HTC to dowload it)
Now, possibly his asian rom isnt compatible with HSPL..
I would be good to know what rom you started with before upgrading to 3.14
Did u install the 3.14 on top of your HSPL? (i know i did that too and had memory problems)
Im no expert (actually i was helped a lot from users here for flashing my week old HD2 into english) but i certainly know that limited access to bootloader is a *****. Try the flash from SD card (a 2go card is better i believe) with a STOCK ROM (download a year old one from HTC, not the 3.14 one).
Did u also try SSPL, instead of HSPL? i know that i didnt manage tro change my language with HSPL (my phone was blocked on 1 language) but worked fine on SSPL..
ANyways, sorry, i know how u must feel..
If all fails, go to the shop and take that 1/3 offer.. but get a guarantee from the guy that if he cant repair it, you dont pay anything
Ps: couldnt believe when u said this :

REply:
I think i had 1.66 ROM version,if my memory serves me right!
I installed 3.14 on top of my HSPL.
I didnt try SSPL.
I tried HSPL2 but it gave 'critical errors...blah...blah'
I thought of JTag repair at my place in chennai,india... but i dont want to experiment anymore with HD2.The phone had died.
Should have bought an Android phone... its lot easier to handle...
The glitches are less too.even if they have glitches there are more solutions.
Similar bootloader errors at my HTC center are managed by changing the mainboard.
When i am done,I guess its a new phone except for the screen and battery.... and couple of buttons.
other language forums:
Few vietnam and chinese guys have had similar problems like i did but they dont have solutions ....
So guys... if u have bootloader text errors .... its almost the end of the phone,unless someone in future finds a solution.(which is unlikely cos the WM 6 series platform is dead ).
Hey dude.... I was desperate in search of a solution.I 've never conversed with an English speaking(native) person before .I was overwhelmed with the reply by jsmccabe78 who is a senior member and i didnt want to sound rude or cheesy!
Anyways thank you so much guys for your replies!

Dude you mentioned you bought T8585. It's a clone dual sim HTC. Please correct me if im wrong.
But you might try eten-users forum and search for MTK HD9.
look for the procedure on how you can install the correct compatible ROM for your phone.
You have to order a special cable for you to flash the correct compatible ROM.
Remember, its a clone HTC phone and not an original one.
Problem solved. Thanks!

just checked again....
i cant seem to find any information on doing hspl on it since everytime i look up that spl, it shows up as radar but i have a titan?
that isnt really my main concern... mine is the fact that i cant even tether with this unlocked/unbranded htc phone..... it complains about AT&T tether plan...
then it complains about some conection error about phone cant connect to the internet when it is on zune and i cant use the zune pass
held volumn up and boot phone
have a red LED blinking but no display
connect to computer, says Qualcomm CDMA Tehcnologies MSM
does that mean anything?

To get into bootloader mode you must hold down both volume down and volume up simultaneously and while you're doing it, hit the power button until you see the white screen, continue to hold down volume up/volume down but let go of the power button.

Your device model number is the HTC Titan x310e. You will note all we folks with the AT&T HTC Titan in the United States have the "x310a". If you're overseas somewhere other than the US and Canada, I believe you're going to debrand your device with the Cingular 1.10 ROM where we are required to use the European 1.09 ROM but I'm going to be honest with you and all; I'm not sure. My interpretation of the original debrand post is to debrand your device with the opposite ROM depending on where you from and I have spent more time on the Titan threads in the last 6 weeks than I have since my Motorola z3 and HTC Rhodium days but I'm a math major and no where near the level of expertise of most here including this very thread. It is unknown if the Windows Phone 8 devices will be capable of being unlocked other than the carrier-subsidy unlock; the HTC Titan II to date can't be HSPL so it begs the question if the latter devices will equally be highly improbable. I think those of us who also own the HD2 hope the future HTC Titan III (Zenith) will be what many have achieved in our HD2s.
The bootloader is waaaaaaayyy too old. That's like the first walking days of the Titan, but your OS versions seems to have caught up. In this case, no debranding is necessary as all X310e model are unbranded, you just straight flash HSPL and do a custom rom, or you might even consider going stock, which football has provided, including the latest and official 8773 firmware with 4.6 bootloader.
There have been a couple of reports that WP8 crashes, tinkering/trying to unlock the bootloader, showing a PC-like error upon startup asking for a "recovery disk". The only way to fix this is via warranty.

I wondered whether if the device hardware began as an "x310e" if the debrand was necessary. Our "x310a" devices have to be debrand and made to mimic the "x310e" to successfully HSPL...but no one outside the US has been able to verify this. Over on another thread an individual asked my about his "x310e" and his OSPL is 1.86.160015.3 and I asked him to double check that for me and again he said the same thing. It's my understanding, he's good to go and simply has to flash both the SPL205 and HSPL and that's it.

Honestly, I don't know. If you have successfully HSPL your deice and you're using a custom ROM, not a stock ROM, you should be good to go.

I take it you're using that Titan inside US? If so, then you will need to have a tethering plan with ATT (as I understand with most US carriers, they make you pay to tether). Otherwise if you're on a custom ROM, you can follow the guide in the Titan development forum about unlocking the tether option with ATT.
end up having to do the registry hack to get tethering to work...
this is kind of crap seeing as it is an unbranded/unlocked device which is still affected by AT&T's tethering limitation.... for example, the Lumia 800 isn't faced with this issue. Perhaps it may be time to switch to tmobile soon..
