[Q] Unable to flash any ROM! - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm about six hours into the process of trying to revive a nonfunctional HD2 that I purchased. I'm going batty!
Here is my status:
1) have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE (0x05, 0x40) Cotulla HSPL
2) Have downloaded a few different roms (Chucky, TMO official, Energy) but they either get stuck at 0% or 9% (the highest it's gotten)
I'm getting pretty good at pulling the battery - it's like a new skill I never hoped to have!
I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've read about a hundred different posts on this site and I see that people are getting around this, but I'm starting to wonder if my phone has an issue that I can't resolve?
The phone doesn't boot up at all - it just says "Upgrade ROM code error, Please try again". Prior to my goofing with it, it just got stuck at the "Stick Together" screen. (Unwittingly bought it that way)
If I use the HSPL3_PKG to install/remove HSPL, it only works (connects to the phone) about one out of ten times, and out of the ~ten times I have gotten it to work, it only completed twice with a "We Hacked It" screen. The rest of the time it errors out just as I think it's getting the job done.
If I boot to the bootloader screen, I can put the USB cable in and see it change from Serial to USB (I've tried the thick and thin cables as some have suggested and haven't noticd a difference yet)
Then I kick of a rom update using the update utility that comes packed with it, and either the update process stops at 0% or it has made it all the way to 9%.
I'm in a position to get a replacement from TMO via the person who bought it (two for one, wife didn't like it, I bought it off of him) but I would rather not.
Any suggestions?
The part number of the phone is 99HKY001-00 B

Even if it us a TMOUS HD2? I will give it a try, but I want to be sure before doing it!

Once you have Hard-SPL on the device you don't need to worry about that anymore. Flashing Roms and radios will not overwrite it, that's what makes it "Hard". To make sure it's on there go into bootloader and it should show 2.08.hspl.
As for the radio, for TMOUS, just make sure it's a x.xx.50.xx radio (not a .51) and you'll be fine. If you have radio 2.10.50.xx you shouldn't have to change it.
So now I would try downloading one of the stock shipped Tmo ROMs (2.13 or 2.14). Then remove Sim and SD and go into bootloader, connect USB to PC and make sure it says USB on the device (not serial) and run the ROM Update Utility (RUU.exe). See if that works.

i also got this problem ,will try ur method n c

after hspl ,cant flash finish radio 2.14 it says ERROR (290) INVALID COMMAND.

You need HSPL..

HSPL done ,i tried a lot of files only Miri & Dinik n Duttys Leo Sense file can b flash successfully ,it went into menu once but now hang at htc startup again,,is this hardware problem?

i had the same problem last week. Drove me nuts.
i found there are more than one version of HPSL 3.
you have to download the latest one. for more info,
read my posts at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789506&page=18
So you need HardSPL3 (the version is DarkForces Team HardSPL3 by bepe and Cotulla 21.06.2010)
If it still doesnt work, take a photo and post your screen

Still no go...
I have installed SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE (0x05, 0x40) Cotulla HSPL, the latest version I could find.
I just tried to flash RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0_Radio_15.42.50.09U_2.14.50.04_LEO_1.5_Ship and it consistently flakes out at 8%.
I charged the phone all night, booted to the tricolor screen, kicked off the update as an administrator in Win7, the phone got to 8% and then the update flaked out on the PC - "The ROM update encountered communication errors during the update process" (Error [276])
I genuinely think that this phone is bunk - I'm just going to have the fellow I bought it from call in for a warranty replacement.
Thanks for your help, everyone...

SD card flash...
Hi,
I could not see it anywhere in this thread, and also I'm not certain if it is possible on a HD2. But on my xperia I'm usualy flashing from a SD card, copy the image over rename it as KOVSIMG.NBH (guess it would be something like LEOROM.NBH).
Than by pressing (and holding) volume down + power button while the device is off going to the boatloader screen which detects the card (must be inserted and flash from it IF there is the correct file loaded on the card.

Dude,
Did you actually download the HardSPL3 version from DarkForces Team?
If not, dont second guess anything. And if it works, you'll get your phone back.
The file name to download is "HSPL3_PKG.exe". Its by bepe and Cotulla 21.06.2010
If you downloaded the right version. it will support ALL LEO types, and all the SPL versions below:
SPL 1.42.0000
SPL 1.62.0000
SPL 1.66.0000
SPL 2.07.0000
SPL 2.08.0000
SPL 2.10.0000
you just select which SPL version to install in the Choose SPL screen. This version also disables the CID Check.
Dont knock it before you try it ..

Yes you are correct you can flash via SD card. You need a 4GB or lower SD card. This is not to say other higher GB SD card will not work, it is just that it has been stated many times the higher SD cards sometimes work to flash a ROM and sometimes don't. The card needs to be formatted with Fat 32. You have to find the RUU_(wharever).nbh and rename it to leoimg.nbh ( you almost got it righ tsnoffy lol) and copy it to your SD card. insert SD card into phone and hold the volume down botton down anx tap the power button keep holding the volume down button down until you see bootloader come up and say searching then let go of the volume down button. The ROM will flash.

[Q] How to "unbrick" HD2?

Hello,
at first I like to say, that I've read lots of threads concerning freezes, false flashed roms, etc. but I don't found a thread which deals with my problem. In fact of this I opended a new thread.
What is the problem?
- The HD2 hangs up with a white screen while booting.
What things are still working?
- I'm able to go into bootloader mode (Vol-Down + Power)
- I'm able to get a USB Connection through the bootloader mode
The self analyzed main problem
- I've got a broken Radio Rom
- I've got SPL 1.42 (no HSPL)
What I've tried
- I tried to flash a Rom due to CustomRUU (Cooked & Ship Rom)
-- Effect: No success. Hang's up at 0% (I think due to SPL)
- I tried to flash a ROM by SD-Card over bottloader.
-- Effect: It load's the setup. Trys to install, but fails with the Radio part. (Radio Update failed)
- I'm able to get in MTTY an do a "Task 29". And try to flash again.
-- Effect: Task 29 works well. But flashing still fails at RadioROM Update.
- I've tried to get a connection to the WMDC and try to flash over UpdateUtility
-- Effect: The WMDC doesn't recognize my HD2. (Even if the bootloader menu shows up a USB connection.)
- I tried to get HSPL (1.42, 1.66, 2.08). I tried all versions. HSPL, HSPL2 & HSPL 3.
-- Effect: HSPL finds my HTC. I can select the version. But while flashing HSPL it stop with an critical error. (Flow: 00000006 Errorcode: 00000014)
So is there anybody how knows a way to restore my RadioROM? I tried lots of things but now I really don't know what to do.
I hope you can understand me (incause of my english skills) and that you'll have some more ideas.
With best regards,
Raffi
Lets wait for the pro's advice!
But if u can access bootloader, not all is lost.. and HD2 is not bricked
I had nearly the same Problem. The only difference was that i could install HSPL.
Something you can try: disconnect the battery for some hours and then flash from SD-Card. After some tries i got mine back to work

that's correct, it doesn't need to connect to wmdc, when they say to get an activesync connection, they only mean a usb connection. if you start the update whilst it IS connected to wmdc, the first thing it does is disconnect and then put the phone into bootloader. you are helping things along by entering bootloader yourself. a little confusing.
that being said, i suspect it won't work. i've seen a few threads where the radio prevents anything flashing, and they never seem to conclude to anyone's satisfaction.
i would probably go for the goldcard method, but you might need a working winmo phone to get the sd cid. an eveningsreading ahead of ya.

I really don't know, but I think I've got a goldcard. So I've 2 micro-SDs. With the first I'm unable to flash anything. The second I made goldcard some flashs ago. I really thought Goldcard would be only work for one flash. But with the second sd-card, which I made goldcard once ago, I'm able to initiate a flash. (But it stops at the Radio-Update.)
Question 1:
How to proof if it's a Goldcard.
Question 2:
I've heard about "JTAG". A saw that it's a piece of hardware. Are there any reports, at this moment, about successful repairs of HD2s with JTAG?
1 no idea, but i do know it stays gold until you format it.
2 there are a few threads about it, look in the tmous section, there are one or two in there too.
i thought it might not help.
have a browse through previous posts by xmoo, he has helped some situations regarding a stuck radio, though no promises.

I've formatted the card, but then there the question why I'm able to start a flash with these ex-gold-card and why I'm unable to flash with the other card. Both are 2GB and both are fresh formatted.

Nice tip, but to my detriment i don't know which version exactly was the shipped one. I received one of the first HD2 in germany from tmob. I think it was something 'bout 1.43.But I really don't know. And you're sure that the original ROM will refresh the broken Radio?
is one sd card bigger than 4gb? 8 and especially 16gb cards are not much use for flashing.
netblognet said:

Like already said, both are 2GB SD-cards.
I think the problem arised because you tried to flash a custom ROM without HSPLing (or Gold Carding or SSPLing) first.
You don't need the origional shipped ROM, all you need is to go to HTC Germany's site and download a T-Mobile ROM. You can either put your phone into Bootloader Mode, connect to your computer and run the ROM exe file or use the SD Card method.
It should flash properly and you should have the T-Mobile Germany ROM, RADIO and SPL.
In future if you want to flash a ROM, then read the chef's instructions. If you are sure you want to flash that ROM, then read the instructions again.

This is a solution for sure, I had the same problem.
Search in tmobile site or ask them for their first german rom.
Ok, I downloaded a Original Tmo-Germany ROM from HTC. But same errors. Over Update-Utility >> Error 262 at 0% after some minutes. Over SD-card: Update starts. Progressbar runs. And then >> Radio_ failed.

You must try the old-first tmo german rom that they loaded in the phone.Not just a tmo german rom!
When I had the same problem and I flashed a current rom, the problem remained until I flashed the first old rom.
Ok, I got the first and original rom. But it also fails at the Radio Update. But i found a friend of my friend who's got a HD2, too. So i'll try it with the goldcard method...

Hd2 leo bricked - task2a & radio_v2 fail (solved)

Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know: NEVER GIVE UP. I task2a my htc leo twice (different times) and "BRICKED" it in that I could not flash any rom back to it. It has HSPL3 and trying everything including removing HSPL and going back to SSPL (HSPL 2.08.0000) I got nowhere. NO ship/stock or custom roms would flash at all by USB and when done by LEOIMG.NBH I'd get RADIO_V2 RSA FAIL etc. I tried using the various RUU executable: Romupdateutility.exe, CustomRUU.exe, ruu.exe (dexter series), and still had problems. I never lost HSPL or bootloader however... In the end I solved it like this:
1) CRITICAL YOU HAVE A FULL BATTERY FIRST AND FOREMOST ELSE IT DOESNT WORK OR UPDATE AT ALL. USE EXTERNAL CHARGER/OTER PHONE.
2) I connected by MTTY and re-did Task 2a, and a Task 28, Task 28 55 aa, and then a task 29.
3) I kept trying various different LEOIMG.NBH files including RADIOs, Custom roms with only OS.NB inside, etc etc etc.
4) In the END:
You will have to use your LEOIMG.NBH on <4gb SD CARD from the STOCK default rom the phone came with....
But: It will probably not (for some reason) work first TEN or so times !!! (weird?)
I kept trying doing ruu.exe in between each SD card attempt and also kept removing/swapping HSPL/2.08.0000 and going in and out of MTTY doing 2a, 28, and 29 OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Ultimately I know this is confusing (my explanation) but I am simpy saying my leo was gone and I did not give up so DO NOT GIVE UP. I sat there 12 hours+ doing this over and over and GOT IT BACK TWICE NOW (yes - I did 2a task twice for certain reasons)... USEFUL ROMS/APPS:
Task29.exe (containg single checksum-ok but BLANK - ruu_signed.nbh)
Telstra Stock ROM
Telstra (HTC website) signed update ROM.
Latest LEO radio
Dexter-with CHT2 and companion ruu.exe (used with dexter and other .nbh)
Xanny-Tech-Evolution via SD Card.
HSPL3_PKG.EXE
magldr 1.11 (by RUU and SD).
In the end YOU WILL FIX IT OK. I'm pretty tired now so I will go over this and clean it up later but KEEP PERSISTING AND HAVE FAITH: if you have HSPL and MTTY and SD you can and you will fix it.
---
edit:
OK, after stock telstra LEOIMG.NBH ok... wanted magldr back... did hspl3... fine... then did Task29.EXE(for radio rom 2.08 576 ram ok) by the EXE/RUU: DO NOT DO THIS... it fails and you have to start again:
after task29.exe (radio 2.08 not-MTTY) with FAILURE - I put the ruu_signd.nbh for this onto SD card and flash - fine. Then did MAGLDR.NBH the same (LEOIMG.NBH) and all OK. Then clockwork and update.zip for PPC-Windows7-Android.

Thanks DFT and Cotulla.
Hurry up and release NAND WP6 and WP7 NAND boot
Making donation $.
Cool that it works for you. But the steps in your description does not give me enough confidence that it will work for anyone else.
Or maybe someone else can verify this method?
Nice!
This was very inspiring! I hope it does work for everyone. As for me I did try for the nth time and well no luck for me, tried a lot of variations, roms, task29, radios but still unsuccessful. Guess for me customer service is the only way. Good luck to the others!
i have my friend device which is in similar situation tried everything but it dont wont work. dont know how to fix. my friend cant even go to tmo since he bought off ebay.

Hi guys, i'm stuck on:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.0.8.HSPL 8G XE
RIFFBOX 0x05
and white screen without htc logo, can i solve this? or it is bricked up?
Thanks in advance
the same here
I got out of bricked situation by extracting only the SPL file from the stock rom using OS builder.Renamed it leoimg.nbh and flashed it using SD card 2 GB /sandisk/.It appeared stuck on the "loading" screen and I had to remove the battery not sure if I'd succeeded.The first sign that something might have gone right was the green light showing fully charged battery,cause despite "common sense" I put the battery back in and put the phone to charge.After taht I used the RUU_signed file from the same stock rom I took the SPL from.
i must try harder...
i spend already to much hour on this pr ...i dont give up
i connect MTTY via USB button in win 7 i make this command task 2a , task 28 ,29
i want to find a STOCK ROM for my phone but i can't find a good one CID is HTC___001
i need a GOLD card i think... to unlock
after i make the info 8 cmd in MTTY window last line say OS not FOUND ...

[Q] Not able to go back to Stock ROM from WP7 - SOLVED

Hello,
I loaded the WP7 yesterday and then wanted to go back to stock ROM today. While I am able to enter bootloader:
It says:
LEO1000 HX BC (2K)
NSPL0.96.2250.0
MicroP (LED) 0x05
MicroP (TOUCH) NA
Now when I run the stock ROM it starts the update and then stops at 1%.
I have tried both 3.14 and 1.66 ROM and in both it says, Error (244): Invalid model ID (This update utility cannot be used for your PDA. Please check your update utility.
Any solutions?

It sounds like you have to run hspl and make it 2.08 hspl
There is a special thread here on How to get back to winmo from WP7, read it!

When I run HSLP 2 or 3 it keeps on saying Critical error - bad model ID.
I will try flashing android and see if that works. I haven't come across the thread you are mentioning but have come across the Android flash thread where they explain in the details other issues but nothing relating to this HSPL critical error Bad model ID.
BTW, I even tried flashing from SD Card but the the bootloader sayd 'SD NONE'. Did format the card to FAT32

Where did you get the download from? It seems to have completely altered your model id in bootloader. You should either have PB81100, PB81110 or PB81120. To my knowledge those are the only model id's that hspl will work on. This is a very old thread I started which allowed hspl to run and bypass the device id check. You may want to try the steps there to see if they help. You will need to modify the steps slightly - in step 2 instead of entering "PB81110" enter "LEO1000". Please note this carries no guarantees and is at your own risk.

Seriously, where did you get your download from, that must have seriously screwed with your phone to change your model id and spl version like that. I installed WP7 yesterday and have just safely reverted back to Android without any hassles. Do you recall what values you had before the flash?
If there is a solution it ain't gonna be a simple one and will need some serious tech help, which is outside of my levels. Even Googling the spl version only returns this thread.
This (or something similar) happened to me. I powered down my phone but did not take out the battery and it restarted the part that loads the win 7 rom while I still got the screen with the coloured bands on.
Try, taking out the battery for 10 seconds or so then put it in while holding the volume down key and powering up.
Got stock ROM back in first time but kiss goodbye to the data on your SD card. I had to use a Canon camera to reformat the card to get back the 14GB it was hiding.

This WORKED. Thanks a TON splinters69.
For future uses, this is what I did.
1. Took out the battery for about 30 seconds.
2. Put one of the LEOIMG.NBH on storage card
3. After putting the battery held the volume down button and pressed power button.
4. It went into HSPL mode straight away and started loading the win 6.5 OS.
You saved the day Splinters69. Thanks to Clydeb1 too for that modelIDcheckbypass.

Phew, that must have been a scare. Glad to see you got it resolved and something so simple as removing the battery - nice one @splinter69.

Yea. It was scary but the only good thing was that I was able to get into MAGDLR so I knew that probably I could install another NAND Android ROM onto it. However, what I wanted was to go back to WinMO 6.5 and then re-learn.
Amazing what knowledge pool we have here, isn't it?
scary that. I think we all fear that at one point or another. thanks for the insight as to how u sorted it.when u said u put a rom back on was it a stock or custom rom.
It was a custom NRGZ ROM.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
cheers for that
Hi all !
I Had the exact same problem after installing WP7 and trying to go back to 6.5 :
Boot Screen was displaying :
LEO1000 HX BC (2K)
NSPL0.96.2250.0
MicroP (LED) 0x05
MicroP (TOUCH) NA
Whenever i try to flash back to any stock / signed ROM it failed at 1%
splinters69 technic is working perfect .
1> Switch Off you phone
2> Remove Battery & wait for 30secs
3> Hold Vol Down + Place Battery back in + Press Power Btn
4> BootScreen Should display your previous version of HSPL.
5> Dont need GoldenCArd , just use RUU FLASH MODE
Thx guys !
I installed MagLDR 1.12 and WP7... after restarting the phone, it kept reseting after about 15 seconds of DFT screen, so i couldn't flash another rom.
After that i took out the baterry and flashed a 6.5 rom and then flashed MagLDR 1.13 and WP7. This time it worked.
Thanks everybody, for posting such helpful things.
Hi all, tried the above mention steps but still couldn't flash it back to stock rom.
It always stuck at 0%, anyone can help?
Is flashing back to WinMo from WP7 the same as from NAND android?

Cannot remove HSPL

I've been going through threads for some hours now but haven't round a solution, so apologies if it already exists:
I've had a problem with my HD2 freezing. It's been sat in a drawer for a while but I thought I'd try and sort it out.
So first I did task29 and that seemed to go OK.
Next I tried to install the stock Vodafone ROM. It buzzed 7 times when the update started and then stuck at 9%.
Having failed to put a ROM on it I then followed the instructions to remove HSPL. When I start it (VOL down, LEOIMG.nbh on FAT32 formatted SD card inserted) it just goes to the tricolour screen and does not flash/load whatever the nbh file.
I put the phone in the fridge for a while and re-tried the ROM update and that reported success, but it won't boot so it's back in the fridge - I'm getting worried about the battery now.
I see someone else had the same problem removing HSPL but don't know what their solution was - am I missing something?
The phone is currently sat in the fridge because I think the 7 buzzes is a heat (processor) issue so assume it's knackered anyway but I still want to remove HSPL.
[thanks for moving the thread - apologies for putting it in the wrong place to start]
UPDATE: I've now successfully updated the ROM to standard UK Vodafone but still no joy with removing HSPL. I'm using a 2GB SD card FAT32 format file names LEOIMG.nbh but I just get the coloured screen. I'm using the nbh file from the current ROM. Tricolour screen reads:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
And then 'serial' or 'USB' at the bottom changing as I plug it in.
Rather than using SD card stock flash, which contains a radio, (your symptoms are often the fault of the radio) you should try running hspl2, and setting spl 1.66.0000
I've also got personal expwrince of spl 2.x refusing to downgrade to 1.x, even when SD flashing, so radio problems aside i now remove spl/hspl 2.x using hspl2.exe and only then perform the SD flash.
Need a little help here, my mate got a HD2 off ebay, which was stuck at android loading screen. I have no idea what the original owner flashed or didnt flash. I can get into the tri-colour screen ok and it shows 3.03 spl, but refuses to change to usb from serial. How can I get access to flash something onto this that will boot?

I've not been on the forum for a while since I got the Sensation - can you point me to an hspl2 thread for the why's, wherefore's & how to's?
Thanks.
EDIT: Found it thanks.
To change the SPL you need the device in bootloader mode (tri-colour sreen) than you connect the usb cable between PC and device. in the white section of the bootloader should say USB (if usb sync drivers on the PC are ok). next you need HSPL2.exe, HSPL3.exe or HSPL4.exe from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 . depending on your current SPL/HSPL ver you'll choose one of them.
About the "It's working in the fridge" problem - sorry to hear that. It's pretty much fatal. Check out here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454
I just got back from repair an HD2 with the same problem, vibrating 7 times, ect., and it cannot be repaired. you need new main board but they are no longer produced, and even if you find one from china it's from 280-250 USD.
I hope it's not the same with you, but...
Well I did the HSPL2.exe thing and that was a piece of cake - HSPL now removed and ROM properly installed.
It still does the vibrate 7 times thing every now and again so it looks like it's going on ebay as junk

[Solved] Half Bricked Titan I (AT&T)

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.
---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------
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...
