Hello everyone!
Can someone please advice me with my problem. I stopped syncing using the sync cable for over 6 months now since it (the mini usb slot on my HTC tytn) stopped working.
My phone must've fallen the wrong way or something coz i've tried using different cables to sync with my laptop, and my laptop couldnt identify the "device" that was being attached. I originally was able to use the cable before my phone fell, so I was able to configure the bluetooth connection after things got messed up. ( I understand that initial syncing can only be done via cable?)
I was so excited to upgrade to WM6... THANK GOODNESS I decided to "VIEW README" before I install the RUU! It specifically said the upgrade should be done using the cable... please HELP!!
Is there a way to upgrade without the cable, and use the BT connection instead? If not, where can I have my phone mini USB slot fixed?
I wish I hadnt dropped my phone! I cant figure though how the USB slot could have been affected by any type of fall??
I can still charge the phone using the USB slot, so I guess its not TOTALLY damaged.
I'd really really appreciate anybopdy's help! Thank you in advance guys!!
There is no way to flash through BT, but it should be possible to have your device upgrade through the storage card.
Read the wiki for more information
It might not even be the USB port affected through the drop but the CPU itself. In that case you might not even be able to flash via SD!
CPU damage? and flashing from Storage card
I gues it could be possible that my phone CPU was damaged... but I guess the fact that I still get to sync via BT is a good sign it's still ok. But thank you so much for the idea. I actually ran across that thread about flashing from the storage card... but i think I missed the instruction on where to get the "WM6.nbh" file to rename it to " HERMIMG.nbh" .................... the only .nbh file I saw when I opened the "RUU_Hermes_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.54.707.3_6275_1.47.00.10_108_Ship.exe" with Winrar was "SPL.nmh"
When unraring the file you will find another executable called RUU_Inside.exe
Unrar that one too and you will find the image file (nbh)
Thanx Junner and every1!
WOW! I'll try that... OK... I officially love this site! I guess I'll just have to wait for my computer to finish copying the files from my phone's Storage Device... It's been copying for over 2 hours now. BT transfer seems much slower... BTW, I hope it wont matter if my phone's IPL is 1.01 | SPL: 1.04 ..........
SSPL question
regarding the SSPL instruction: according to the readme file: " *** Usage ***
For flashing ROM copy sspl-XXXX.exe (XXXX stands for short device platform name
i.e. TRIN for HTC Trinity) to your device and run it. Standart bootloader prompt should appear on screen, ..."
--- is sspl-HERM compatible with my HTC tytn?
"....check SPL version number: if it ends with ".ds" then
everything is fine...."
------ If my SPL is just 1.04, without the .ds , what should i do then?
(Re)attach usb cable and run firmware update utility.
".....In case if something goes wrong during flashing you should flash your device with ROM accepted by standard bootloader (and have another try if you wish)."
------ what does that last statement mean?
Hi
The Problem:
1. I need to send HTC HD2 back for repair because the SD card reader does not work (no storage card visible in File Manager or in explorer on the PC via USB link)
2. I have played around with some non-standard ROMS and , as a result, have SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE on the device together with the standard ROM 1.72.110.4
3. I read in various places that having HSPL will invalidate the warranty
4. I understand I can remove HSPL by flashing from the micro SD card but of course I cant do that as the micro SD card is bust.
5. I've also read somewhere that I cant downgrade SPL 2.08 - which seems odd.
So how can I restore the device to the stock ROM 1.72.110.4 (which is currently running) and the equivalent SPL version?
Can I flash from the PC via USB cable and if so, how do I do this?
How else can I get rid of HSPL?

run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
that will match your 1.72 rom.

And for the SD reader problem, have you tried inserting the card directly to your PC? maybe it just needs to be repaired..?
Yes, thought of that. Both SDHC cards (4G and 16G) work in the PC; neither is visible in the HTC. It seems pretty certain that the problem is with the HTC
R
OK SO I run HSPL2 and select as described and, indeed get SPL1.66
But the (switch on Vol Dn) screen says
SPL-1.66 HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
which does not look much like the original situation to me - there is still mention of HSPL which I thought invalidated the warranty?
i didn't say choose "1.66.hspl" go read my post again, then run hspl2 again and look CAREFULLY at what options are available in the dropdown.

I think he was implying that when he chooses 1.66.0000 and flashes it still shows hspl in bootloader after.. or am I wrong?
Hhhmmm - the original post said run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
So I do that selecting 1.66.0000 rather than HPSL 1.66 (Careless of me. Sorry ) from the drop down list and I now get
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.66.000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Is that what I am supposed to have in a virgin unmodified ROM/SPL?
OK it seems it is. I found a picture of the original Tricolor screen in this flashing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4amlg-ogrpM
I am still curious because the introductory text in HPSL2 says
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
and yet you are telling me that I HAVE removed/overwritten HSPL using HSPL2.
Confused (easily done I know)

that's how it used to be when there was only hspl1.
as with many things, time moves inexorably on and info goes out of date.
it still works for removing hspl, and many people get caught out by flashing a stock rom from their sd card that isn't the stock rom for their phone, so it fails, but they don't realise it has already removed hspl before it failed, so they try a different rom, which of course also fails, cos hspl is gone.
I suspected as much - wouldn't have been hard to change the text though!!
Anyway, thanks for your input. The phone as been back to the repairer, survived any inspection for warranty infringements and been returned working.
Sadly, it was unlocked when I bought it 2nd hand and it has come back locked to the T-Mobile network.
Oh well - off on another endless search - IIRC there is a thread here somewhere about it
R
heh, theres dozens of threads about it, and they will all tell you there are two unlock options.
get a code from t mobile,
or
buy one online.
Seems Odd.
If you guys have the technical knowledge to replace ROMs and Loaders, surely locking a phone/PDA to a network/SIM is all in the same area of firmware?
If I just flash any ROM (or a specific ROM) will that make the problem go away?
TFAI
R
nope, nothing you flash will have any effect au all on sim lock. and vice versa,, once unlocked no amount of flashing will re lock it.
as to the technicalities, its way beyond my knowledge how it works
But if that is the case, how did the repair people (who I am told 'flashed it with the most up to date ROM') manage to restore the SIM Lock?
they probably put in a new mainboard, so new imei number, so new phone as far as the network lock is concerned.
Dunno about the motherboard but the IMEI number (which IIRC is the thing that determines the unlock code) has not changed
R
well, all i can tell you is no one has ever reported anything of the kind before. perhaps the techs have used whatever process they use to lock them in the first place to relock it.
one thing i know 100% for sure, no flashing will unlock or relock a phone.
Hi guys,
I have managed to break my USB socket on my O2 branded HD2 (dont know how). I flashedd a stock ROM to it before i sent it to be repaired. The repair was to expensive and now i am stuck with a stock O2 HD2 with no USB connection.
I really want to run android so need to gold card or HSPL or something to upgrade the radio but it seems that you need an activesync connection to do both of those.... anybody know how to do it another way?
Thanks in advance

How did you do this? leoimg.nbh + vol_down when you turned on the phone?
Has it definately overwritten HSPL?
Yes i did it like that. it definately no longer has HSPL
when o2 get their ar$e into gear and release a 3.14 rom, you will be able to flash that from sd card, and it will allow android. dont hold your breath though, heh.
Course, you could always make and use a goldcard to flash the wwe 3.14, far simpler, bet you could have one by tomorrow if you start reading up now.
please can someone help, i have htc hd2 and its now on adroid 2.2 but it was a mistake i really want it bck to windows mobile 6.5 but theres nothing to explain how to do it, can someone please help, i hava tried doing through ruu, but it wont recognize my phone, not sure if its because of android but it doesnt work anymore just wont connect, please help someone
You "mistakenly" switched to android?
What android have you got on your phone, NAND or SD, if its Sd then you simply reboot phone. If its NAND you need to flash widnows back.
If you have HSPL then just put a windows rom on yoru card, rename it leo.img and then put phone into bootloader mode.
If you dont ahve HSPL then connect via USB and put phone into bootloader mode and run your flashing prog.
do task29 that contains blank .nbh. you must have hspl 2.08 first to run this then install any custom ROM through PC or your branded ROM through SD card it should work. i hope this helps.
here you go

Ok, half bricked it while trying to update SPL to 2.05 with goldcard...
I understand that a half brick is when you hold both volume buttons down on boot and neither serial nor usb show up in the spl screen. Between this and my inability to flash the SPL 2.05 (gets stuck at "Loading..." and takes several minutes to even get past "Load USB Host". I've left it at "Loading..." for an hour, no progess...)... I'm stuck and need help.
When I hold the volume down button at boot and connect to Zune, I get this error: c101002e
I've read that this can be solved with the windows phone support tools... but MS's page also says not to use this on versions higher than 7.0.7something. Unfortunately I forced the update to 8107, so I don't want to find out what happens when you ignore the warning.
Basically everything is stock ATT except the forced update;
Radio:16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23U
SPL 1.10
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help
Update 1;
Tried to flash the SPL2.6 update from HTC using goldcard, no dice, gets stuck at "Loading..."
Tried to flash the Eternity cingular stock rom, once again, stuck at "Loading..."
I think I'm beginning to see a pattern; USB host works as far as reading the SD card, but beyond that it fails...
Update 2;
I wonder if I can reapply the firmware through cab sender? I would need firmware cabs for the htc titan, preferably ones that are compatible with the new hspl! I can't find any, been searching for hours...
Was the HSPL process successfully completed? Have you tried to put the phone back into USB com mode (camera + vol down + power) and putting the OSPL back on?
You're the first I've heard having this problem. Since you're using the Gold Card Method, I assume that your phone is a US AT&T Titan.
I hope you get it going.

Not sure if you visited this page or not, but here are the instructions for flashing the HSPL. Further down the 1st post you'll find how to un-install it. I would try that since it doesn't sound as if your flash was successful.
Here is the link to the actual gold card method, if you haven't seen that as well.
No, didn't even get to HSPL. The instructions say to flash SPL 2.05 first, which isn't working. I'm stuck on the stock 1.10 SPL.
No matter what I try, any combination of flashing the original stock ROM, the HTC SPL update, etc, goldcard always gets stuck at "Loading..." so I think it's safe to say goldcard is broken as well, unless someone knows a foolproof fix.
Camera + Volume Down + Power... I assume you mean USB Host mode which is just Camera + Volume Down at bootup (holding the power button causes the phone to reboot). USB Host mode is how you use gold card, and like I said, it gets stuck at "Loading...". It does in fact read my SD cards because I saw the blinking LED that signals activity on one of the USB to microSD readers I tried.
Moreover there is nothing to uninstall since I am unable to install anything. I can use the WP7 cab sender, if I could just get the bootloader in cab form I think this would solve my problems; I think the stock SPL became corrupted somehow and needs to be reflashed... and I do not know anything about JTAG
When you made your Gold Card, did it say success or give you a problem?
Are you using a multi card reader or a single card reader for your gold card?
it says success.
I've tried two microSD cards, and three different card readers. I have gotten the CID for each card and properly applied the CID to each card, and properly formatted each in fat32 several times...
I've tried using the HD2 in Magldr usb mass storage mode, HD2 in android mass storage mode, HD2 in windows mobile mass storage mode... they all appear to work as it gets as far as "Loading..."
Moreover I have a single card reader and a multi card reader.. each making no difference; stuck at "Loading..."
I have tried a hundred different combinations which all appear to be successful if not for the fact that I'm pretty sure my SPL is corrupted.
Wow, that really sucks! Sorry I can't help. I haven't even done it myself yet. My y-cable will be here hopefully Friday.
The only other thing I would make sure of if I were in your situation is looking at the pics in gold card method post, I see that the gold card is to be placed in the female end at the bottom of the Y. You never said whether you made your own cables or not, but if you did, maybe make certain that it is correctly done.
Damn, while I'm sorry for your situation, I sure hope that I'm not right there with ya when I attempt it. Keep us up-to-date and good luck.
Yeah I bought a new Titan off ebay already XD
However before I open it I'm going to see if I can convince HTC that it was pre existing (it probably was) and that I found out while I was trying to do the official SPL update from HTC using the tool on HTC's site (which is more or less true as well XD). I think I'm still under warranty.
And I was using this Y cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JIOHDE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01
It works, I've tried it in various setups. It's actually really nice; the grey cable doesn't carry data so you can use your computer or laptop for power without worry. But I did in fact use a wall USB charger for goldcard, just in case.
But don't worry, I'm almost sure that this was pre existing; gold card/USB host mode behaved exactly the same from the start, the only thing that has changed is the fact that I can't get Serial / USB connections to show up in SPL anymore (nor can I hard reset from SPL). It worked correctly at least twice...
hey everyone, I fixed it.
USB host mode / gold card works; if you're stuck at "Loading" then your SD card is no good. I went around and tried every mass storage device in my house and found one that works, use the generic goldcard image from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24809318#post24809318
To get rid of f400 error you need to flash cotulla's ROM, the cingular stock rom did not fix it.
Goldcard SPL up to 2.05, USB worked.
Install HSPL via USB, if that doesn't work, install the stock ROM via USB and start over.
Once HSPL'd at 2.05 USB will NOT work, so you'll need to goldcard cotulla's ROM (remember to rename it from FINAL.nbh to ETERIMG.nbh)
profit.

It's been months since anybody has posted on this thread. There are two ROMs that set this process up. Depending on whether you have the x310a (American brand) or x310e (European). When this process is all said and done it reads x310e regardless where it came from. There is a Cingular 1.09 and an European 1.10...the key here is to downgrade the SPL from 2.05 to 1.09/1.10. Some Titans have lower SPLs depending where you're at. HTC's SPL update to 2.6 complicates this process. Think of as 3 major steps...one, downgrade to one of these ROMs, two, return to SPL205 via Goldcard and then apply DFT's HSPL. Step 2 took me forever to get right and the process is sneaky long...you think you failed but patience will be rewarded. There has been quite a lot of discussion in regards to "newer" Titan (Eternity) which the internal drive is set up in such a way that one is lead to believe it is corrupted or they've been setup like the Titan II (Radiant) which to date remains impossible to HSPL. You're better off using one of the older Titans (Eternity). A few of the links no longer get you the files you need and if they do I would encourage you to download everything that is there and read every tutorial carefully and then again; this isn't for the faint of heart. It's way, way harder than the HD2 or older HTC devices. Nor am I aware any device since the Eternities is HSPL capable other than maybe the Nokia Lumia 920 Developer Edition.

i managed to downgrade to official att rom,and got rid of f400 error, but the spl didn't downgrade...
I installed the rom 3 times with no luck with the spl...
Afterwards i renamed the eu rom from ETERNIMG to ETERDIAG and it installed.
but still the spl is :
PI39100 MFG
SPL-2.5.160015.3(137079)
eMMC SND 15188MB
TOUCH A1(F:81, ID:1,V11,B:F8)
Radio-16.23.02.09_A
I tried to install spl2.05 again (I don't remember but I think it failed), then spl2.6 with no luck, then hspl without results...
Finally I upgraded to 7.8 via cab installer and thats the best I managed to accomplish...
So I can't install any spl or hspl...
when I bought the device ,it had spl 1.09, not 2.6, so I think it's possible to hspl...
