Hi,
yes - I've read ALL the dead tytn posts and followed all Wiki options but not describe my situation.
I was having a perfectly stable Tytn for the past few weeks, didn't install anything, used it daily with no issues.
Yesterday I decided to reboot to clean the mem a bit (God knows why) and after the restart it simply came on with a blank screen.
The screen shows nothing and the backlight turns on but nothing.
I tried to put it in flash mode and yet the screen remains blank - nothing.
Took the battery out for an hour back in - dead screen.
Did a hard reset - still dead screen.
Tried a sd flash method - still nothing showed.
I even took it apart to check the cables - all in place nothing shows damage or issues or even dirt.
It doesn't show a thing no matter what I try,
ActiveSync is not connecting and all rom flashers fail to connect (error 260).
Tried mtty but didn't get the usb> prompt (just cmd>)
The wierd part is that it still recieves calls from time to time.
Did anyone face this or know of any solutions?
PLEASE HELP! This is so sad...

the cmd> prompt means its in bootloader.
question is... have you put Hard-SPL on this device.
Hi,
Thanks for replying.
Yes I did - I've put your outstanding hard-spl 2.10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722) on it and it worked great.
Can I use the CMD to somehow re-flash or do something else?
You think it's software related?
Obviously I'm a n00b I just got my 8525 yesterday, right away I upgraded to WM6 went all day today with it working fine, I installed a PockMSN and Windows Live anyways to keep it short I FIGURED I WOULD just RE-INSTALL Windows Mobile 6 to get a fresh phone (didnt know hard reset did the same) Actually it was the 3rd time I flashed the OS and RE-UPGRADED to WM6 to get a fresh phone!!!!
~heres the trouble~
In the middle of the reinstalling WM6 I accidentally reset my computer, didnt realize it right away and, got ERROR 260 I believe, anyways I followed the directions, took out the battery and reset, plugged the USB back and RAN the Offical WM6 Rom of HTC site again and it keeps getting stuck EVERYTIME at 11%, I have tried it like 10 times and it gets stuck at 11%, and I get the same ERROR. Says Communication error 260. I have tried everything I know reset the computer, changed USB cords, and Nothing, everytime it gets stuck at 11%!!!!!!
Any Ideas about how to get my 2 day old Hermes back??
(I know i did a n00bish thing and I am sorry)
same place everytime!!
I tried to reinstall Active Sync, changed USB cables, switched USB ports, nothing!! I keep getting ERROR 262 (thought it was 260 at 1st) and wont get past 11% says no connection. I do notice everytime i try this process, Active Sync isnt connected, but the Hermes is connected to the computer! Cause if it cant read the hermes it wouldnt be able to even start the update process. But 11% everytime its stops

Perhaps you could try to flash using the sdcard method. So you would not be connected to a pc anymore. Who knows, it could solve your problem. I know one case where installing an official rom cured also a similar problem.
Quick summary of the sdcard method:
Use an empty sdcard formatted in FAT32
Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh file containing the OS to the card and rename it: hermimg.nbh
Enter bootloader mode (OK + POWER + Softreset). Normally, after the 3colors screen, you will get "Loading" followed by a description of what is on the card.
When ready, press power and... wait...
Good luck (The phone is NOT connected to the pc)
sounds good but I dont have a MicroSD card reader to do that. And I am using an Offical HTC WM6 ROM, thats all I ever used was the offical WM6 Rom from the AT&T site. Like I said, I was able to install WM6 already, but me being a complete idiot was Flashing the upgrade ROM to get the Hermes back to fresh phone factory settings. But I accidentally reset the computer in the middle of Flshing and since then I have never been able to get it to install again, everytime I turn on the phone I am stuck at the Tri-Color Screen, I am able to restart the upgrade process, but it stops at 11% says ERROR 262 and no connectivity!!
please anybody knows anything, this is the only thing I got, my mom got it for me! We cant afford to get a new one, or even fix it, it was a special present!

Ok. I am a bit annoyed if you cannot try the sdflash method (BTW you can ask somebody having a PC to prepare the card for you.)
There are different things you can flash on your hermes. Radio, OS, Splash screens, Extended Rom,.... The most tricky thing is the radio rom as a failure there has a higher probability to brick your pda.
This is why i believe it is very dangerous to flash right away without some readings and understanding about what you do. i hope you had some experience here.
Did you first install hardspl (olipro 2.10 )? This is not mandatory but is a very good protection against bricking. (here the excellent guide of mrvanx: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27 )
Did you flash also a radio rom? (Was it included in the "package" you wanted to flash?) If yes, i am a bit anxious that a stop at 11% is a problem... BUT, if you flashed a radio rom, it goes very, very, very... slowly. And gives the feeling that it freezes. For the "radio" part it is normal . I hope you did not stop the process too soon.
Once again, try the sdcard method. Or try to flash an official rom (most of the time containing a radio part...) and be patient. Can take till 25 minutes.
If this does not work, do not panic yet. Others had also problems before you: go there and start reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755 and here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
There is a hope to solve your problem. Good luck
Try to flash a radio ROM, turn the device on and if it stays at the bootloader screen (the tri colour screen) make a note of the version displayed. Hook up the device with USB cable, dont worry about activesync.
Download and unzip a radio ROM upgrade (try this one), run the exe, select your bootloader version on the screen....follow the screens through and see if it works.....radio roms take ages to flash so DO NOT disconnect your device.....if it doesnt work you most likely have a corrupted radio bootloader.............which is likely since the radio flash takes the longest ammount of time the reset probably occurred halfway through this.................unlucky
Give it a try though.
The lesson to learn here is to READ THRICE and flash once.....never ever disconnect your device out of impatience (which i suspect has happened many times on a radio flash) and be carefull these devices are expensive

I could not say better
I know, the MicroSD method is nice, but when I got the phone the guy gave me a MicroSD card, but not the regular SD card to read it on computers ( i do have a card reader) Guys a super appreciate the replies> I am gonna try everything rite now, but real quick is my Hermes FUCT??? or is this error fixable??? It is just losing communication everytime at the exact same place, it just seems like something is fixable, but my sorry luck i cant get over the hump!! I will let ya'll know ASAP
okay, here is the thing, Every Hermes ROM update utility I have downloaded wont work, i start it and the VERIFY INFO ON HERMS windows appears about 2 minutes late I get ERROR 260 and it exits! Now when I use the OFFICAL WM6 upgrade ROM from the ATT/HTC site it seems to read the HERMES and wanna start the upgrade process, but thats where it ends at 11% No other RUU I have used or tried has even gotten that far, I just get ERROR 260 before it starts and I have to exit.
What it looks like is I cant communicate with my HERMES at ALL!! Active Sync wont see, only when I reset my computer and reset the HERMES and I plug it in a different USB port, it says Installing New Hardware and HTC USB something and then Hardware has installed and is now ready to use. But Active Sync wont recogniZe it
I'm sorry to tell you that but i think you ****ed up your phone and it is as useless as my ****ing jasjam.
please give us some detailed info s about your hermes like IPL SPL GSM STATUS....
When I am in Tri Color Mode I see.......
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
and SERIAL at bottom, then USB when I plug it in to my computer
I had upgraded to WM6 before on it, but me being a impulsive FOOL, i flashed it again to get me back to Factory Setting (didnt know HARD RESET did the same) and I accidentally RESET my computer in the middle of ROM Upgrading and ever since I cant get past 11% when I try to do it again (using the OFFICAL WM6 ROM from HTC)
and I cant get any communication with mtty although I dont know much about that app, I get a CANT load screen appear
is your phone KITL enabled.
hold the COMM manager button + POWER button + OK button (the one on the left side under the jog wheel) and reset with stylus.
if you see KITL dialogue then it is KITL enabled (MY bricked jasjam is KITL disabled)
if it is KITL enabled then read : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=PB_KITL_HERMES and your phone will be just fine.
if it is not then your phone is ****ed up just like mine
HA HA, me and my phone guy (well the guy who I bought my Hermes from) HAVE FOUND A FIX to get the phone outta Bootloader Mode and back into OS!! in my case WM6!! I have to do it 1 more time to fully confirm the method!!!!!!!! My friend is calling "SHOCKING THE PHONE" but not really shocking anything!! I am reluctant to share the method, but this site needs more people to actually HELP out others

Mmm... do i understand correctly your post? Are you hesitating to help others because your method is risky, or because you express some exasperation about people on this site? In this case, do not forget that all people here are exchanging ideas, questions etc on a totally free base without any obligation. In the limits of there knowledge. Encountering a problem after flashing a device is the only responsability of the user. We just try to help. But i prefer to believe that you found a method, still risky, that you need still to test
That said, it seems that there are an increasing number of hermes encountering a problem with the radio part. It seems that stopping a flash at 11% is a symptom of that. See some consolidation of those problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349461
I hope you will find a solution for your problem and moreover i hope that none of you bought a hermes second hand with an already radio part problem. If so try always to get your money back...
I AM trying to confirm my method BEFORE i share it, because it might work on mine, and I dont wanna screw anyones hermes up more

Why don't you answer my PMs????
Please tell me your sulotion and let me try that if you have any
Please help me, I played around with BBs yesterday and lost radio, so installed a stock FW with FlashTool, and got radio back again, but on some 4x BB.. Wanted the new 58 BB, and found out that a .. ..0.16 FW would give me that, so installed the polish one (found no other), and after that no response when touching the screen!
xRecovery is of course gone after "stocking" (also rooting?), but I have tried a number of FWs for FlashTool, and even FW directly from S-E using Update Service, but still my phone is next to bricked.. I am n00b and could very well have done something wrong unknowingly, and/or overlooked something, but what might that be, and what are my options?
Sounds like corrupted FW. Not a big deal cause without a cracked Bootloader, you realy can't screw the phone up.
Turn phone completely off.
Pop Battery - SIM card - Micro-SD card out.
Let it sit for a few minutes.
While your letting it sit, take your Micro SD card and Format it using your PC.
"not saying this is your issue but I have had the phone lock up and appear to be unresponsive due to a corrupt file on the SD Card and it fails to mount and gets stuck." If you have any files you want to save, copy them to your PC Hard Drive.
Reinsert your SD Card - Sim Card.
Plug your USB cord into your phone " LEAVE THE BATTERY OUT "
Start up SEUS " Sony Erricson Update Service ".
While holding the back button, reinsert the battery.
Follow the instructions and restore the phone to factory settings.
I hope this works for you as this should elliminate any problems that could have or would be occuring prior. If it doesn't, shoot me a mail and I will get with you on messenger for trouble shooting.
_-_- Press Thanks if its useful-_-_
Nope, didn't do it, touched the thanks-bottom anyway, because on my PC I can...
PM'ed xKrisx, but everybody are welcome with suggestions as I'm completely lost without my phone!
Edit while waiting, hoping:
Followed instructions above several times now, except

no such option, wouldn't that be S-E-Android 1.6 ? In fact I see no other options in SEUS than accepting (or not) uneditable choices towards an update -and done-, so I suppose that's what was meant(?)!
Have tried a number of slight variations including SEUS update without sim and SD at all (was actually allowed that), but most noticeable difference was that first boot pre-choose English instead of Danish (my language), and still no response from touch screen, so can't select anything at all!
My phone shows evidence of "moderate physical pressure" (bought second hand with one corner missing), so I can't totally reject the possibility of a sudden HW digitizer breakdown though I think that would more likely have occurred while phone in use than while sitting on my mouse-pad.. No matter what, I would really like to exclude any SW related errors before moving to torx-driver surgery! Plz help guys!
Hi seek4
Did you ever find a solution for your touchscreen?
hey guys ...
there is the whole story
My friend's HD2 device was working in strange way, When restarting it gives a white screen and the HTC logo and freeze at this screen and then after a large number of re-starting it works, but when re-restart it again it return to the white screen
After a Hard Rest through the sound buttons the top and bottom were formatted but the device remain standing at the white screen after a Hard
the only solution to me was upgrade to new Rom and after read in the forum that This problem can be a lack of Compatibility between the Rom and the radio, but I think that the device had not been updated b4 by a lack of awareness of my friend, and then check the SPL version ,it was 1.42.000 (still locked) then try to ulock it by HSPL2_RUN as posted in some thread
it done right and the message "we hacked .." and enter boot-loader and checked it became 1.42.spl then I tried to upgrade by the following Rom:
RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_GCC_1.43.488.1_Radio_Sig ned_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship
When updating the device whenit reached 9% did not complete the upgrade untill the upgrade process stopped by itself so I did restart the black screen appeared within a triangle inside the exclamation point.
now I started to be panic, and then search the net and found the advice from someone to use Task29 before the upgrade and when I run the program worked fine and after restarting the white screen returned with the HTC logo inside
I tried again to upgrade the same Rom and returned the same result ,searching again and found many advise to upgrade the SPL to version 2.0 which is recommended by most members
After the successful conversion of the SPL took off the device and swithched to boot loader to make sure the validity of conversion and the back of the version then after restating the white screen appeared and when I tried to reboot again the device turned off, I tried several times and did not work I said maybe the battery and when i connect the charger it did not ship and the orange led did not spark, tried the USB method but same result
I tried another charger and a another usb cord and it did not work and I check the battery by an electronics specialist, He assured that the battery is fully charged.
And now the device does not function at all, not even shaking when running and screen or charging
please guys i need ur argent assistance ...even a thought may help
Note: This is not the first time for me unlocking and flashing thin , my last devices was: JAM - k-jam - Jazjam - Omnia (current)

Hi,
Since you have enough experience in flashing custom ROM, I would suggest you the following ways:
1. Make sure battery is at least 50% and the battery pins are not bent
2. Format your micro sd card to fat 32
3. Find and download the CORRECT STOCK ROM. You can download it from htc website if your hd2 is non branded, or you can download it from your carriers website if your hd2 is a branded one. Make sure the downloaded file is not corrupt due to download process
4. Extract the downloaded file using 7 zip or winrar. Find the file named: RUU_signed.nbh Then, rename it to: leoimg.nbh then copy it to the root directory of your micro sd card
5. Go into boot loader and follow the onscreen instruction. If therenis no hardware issue, it should work.
Good luck ...
thanks m8 but I've checked the pins and changed the battery with fully charged one ..
but it's no boot loader mode ... its completely off
thanks 4 ur support
Not offering solution, just an observation,,,, hanging at HTC screen and only occasionally booting, plus flashing hanging at. 9% is a bad sign, sometimes associated with a stuck radio, and/or/caused by thermal issues.
Try chilling the phone with stock nbh ready to go on SD card, in sealed bag in fridge/freezer for a while, then try to SD flash.
If flashing starts, (white screen blue writing) keep an eye out for "rsa radio fail" or similar.
if the flash goes well, but then later the problem returns, it's pretty conclusively hardware.
thanks buddy for the advise but as I mentioned b4 ...
the device doesn't boot anymore ... and yeah it's Hardware bug I think.
best regards
Hello. My HTC Titan is fully unlocked as I installed a custom ROM, right? That gives me the right to download XAP's from the inbuilt browser on my phone. I have installed Supermusic, XAPhandler and Devstore7 on my phone. Now, when I turn the phone off, and try to turn it back on, it stops at the HTC boot logo and the red mini-light on left-top corner is on. The only way to use my phone again is to go to SPL mode and factory reset everything. I have been doing this for a week now and Iam getting so irritated.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be?
Also, when installed a custom rom, the apps on your phone get access to your full device. Does this increase the usage of RAM? I know that my phone is morevulnerable for malware because it is running a custom Rom. Is there any sort of antivirus app or software I can install to reduce the chances of getting infected?
I would be very greatful if somebody who knows about fully unlocking a device could answer my questions.
Thanks
I recommend flashing the ROM again.
Remember, when flashing a ROM, your computer should be doing nothing else but that. Close off processes if you have to in order to free up RAM before flashing.
It isn't uncommon to get a "Bad" flash or even a bad download before the flash. So re-download and then re-flash from a Flash-ready computer.
Hope this helps ya, let us know.

I really REALLY REEEEALLY hope that it doesn't work for you.
The custom ROMs were awaited hopefully so that we could support our homebrew community that make some fantastic functionalities available on our phones. If you want to pirate stuff, kick developers' balls and then expect other developers to help you when pirate xaps f*** things up on your phone - I think every second anyone helps you, a cat dies somewhere in this world.
Please pay for the apps and support the developers instead of stealing their hardwork. It costs them their normal lives, eyes and hours of football matches.
MOD Notice
Do not discuss obtaining paid for apps for free, we do not support piracy on XDA. Support the developers, purchase the Apps!!
I am sorry
Right. I am sorry. I will buy these apps from now on
Pardon me for my bad behaviour, it wasn't meant to offence anybody.
Sorry once again.
And Btw, can I install things like homebrew apps now, because I have fully unlocked my ROM? What about Devstore7 and such? Any good idea how to tweak my phone with the registry editor? I am trying to set the WIFI to always on, is that possible?
I am only wondering, no offence to anybody.
Thanks,
Tabbii
Did you solve the reboot hanging problem? I'm not using any shady apps, hell I'm not using many apps at all at this point. Waiting for the HSPL fixed (mine is one of those stuck on 2.5 and can't flash HSPL or custom ROM).
Any way. Mine just started doing some weird ****. Some of my zune content can't be synced successfully (meaning it syncs and when I look for it on my phone it is a black box only. Some pics and music are just black icons, no labels and not there.) I connect to zune again and it says do more with a zune pass. I have a zune pass. Any way. I reboot the phone thinking that was gonna help and when it came back up, it had done a half ass hard reset (meaning nothing was there and had to go thru the motions of setting it up again, but in settings/about only 3GB was free)
So I flashed the stock ROM again from RUU not gold card (last time I did it thru gold card) upon completion, I set it back up, sync a couple songs and pics to it and I reboot it, no problem. So I sync some more to it, no problem after reboot. so I'm thinking it's good. So I do a FULL sync and install a few apps, then reboot. all good!
Then I install a few more apps and all have a problem and say needs attention, click here. I do and retry, but failed on all of them. so I reboot the phone (knowing what was gonna happen) well, this time it sat on good bye forever, never completely shut down, so I take the battery out and put it back in and start it up and for the first time it hangs on the HTC screen. So I go into SPL mode then try to boot again, hangs still. So I go back to SPL and so factory reset and now Im setting my phone up for the 3rd time today!
Any ideas?
I didn't want to give every app access to my phone so I installed Ultrashot's ROM. It has a root manager application to choose which apps have root access. Since you're gonna reflash anyways, I suggest trying Ultrashot's. I think it has more features than the DFT ROM, but you can decide that.
Good luck!

Geez, it seems that 98% of people who have the ATT Titans are having problems. I guess I must've lucked out when everything went A ok for me. I haven't been reading lately, so I am assuming you tried to debrand the device first by flashing the Euro stock rom? Did you try to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 from the HTC website?
Anyway, alright you said you flashed back to stock ROM -this is the ATT rom I'm assuming right? If so, try flashing BACK to the EURO rom. And do it through goldcard. After flashing the Euro rom...do a hard reset and see if it boots normally. Then I would try to upgrade the SPL again? to 2.6. If that doesn't work. Try to flash BACK to the ATT rom...do a hard reset and see if it works.
Wow, I must say that this is the craziest thing I've ever seen! It just reset again! This time. I was syncing an auto playlist (And I knew it was gonna be jacked up when the device summary screen had this "just removed from device (1 item)" and upon opening that up to see what was in it, it was blank!) and my wife sent me a text, I tried to unlock the screen, and it wouldn't unlock, in fact it seized the device up. The lock screen was partially slid up and stuck. So I waited with no luck.
I unplugged from PC and took battery out, then booted it back up. It took forever to boot up and was presented with setting up device for first time use (I figured). When I did and I get that same new device setup text, I noticed that there were still texts from yesterday in there and went to home screen and all my tiles from apps were still there but I when I tried to launch any of them, the screen just started to animated as if it were about to launch the app, then stopped. So couldn't launch anything.
I'm thinking that there is something with my zune setup doing this. So this time, I am booting my PC into Windows 8 and installing zune and try to sync the same content and see what happens!
Now before Mango, sometimes when I downloaded albums with zune pass on my HD7, some songs would lock up the phone. Meaning that the music would suddenly stop playing and if I hit play, skip, next or even played new playlist, it would seize the phone and force a reboot. I still have those songs on my PC and they play fine on the PC and the phone now since Mango, but zune did freak out a few months ago and created this random playlist named ".rcszasdfaskl23" some weird name starting with a ".rcs" and in that playlist were those songs that caused the phone to seize. The weird thing about this playlist is, it is in zune as content, but it is not listed in the playlist folder in windows explorer.
Any way, I'll report back after syncing with Win 8.

Wow, I must say that this is the craziest thing I've ever seen! It just reset again! This time. I was syncing an auto playlist (And I knew it was gonna be jacked up when the device summary screen had this "just removed from device (1 item)" and upon opening that up to see what was in it, it was blank!) and my wife sent me a text, I tried to unlock the screen, and it wouldn't unlock, in fact it seized the device up. The lock screen was partially slid up and stuck. So I waited with no luck.
I unplugged from PC and took battery out, then booted it back up. It took forever to boot up and was presented with setting up device for first time use (I figured). When I did and I get that same new device setup text, I noticed that there were still texts from yesterday in there and went to home screen and all my tiles from apps were still there but I when I tried to launch any of them, the screen just started to animated as if it were about to launch the app, then stopped. So couldn't launch anything.

Good luck!
I was just about to update this and say I think that it is a memory capacity issue! That's exactly it. Thanks eeeelliott

Geez, it seems that 98% of people who have the ATT Titans are having problems. I guess I must've lucked out when everything went A ok for me. I haven't been reading lately, so I am assuming you tried to debrand the device first by flashing the Euro stock rom? Did you try to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 from the HTC website?
Anyway, alright you said you flashed back to stock ROM -this is the ATT rom I'm assuming right? If so, try flashing BACK to the EURO rom. And do it through goldcard. After flashing the Euro rom...do a hard reset and see if it boots normally. Then I would try to upgrade the SPL again? to 2.6. If that doesn't work. Try to flash BACK to the ATT rom...do a hard reset and see if it works.

Hey xconomicron,
What were your exact steps that you followed? This is the first time that I heard an ATT Titan owner installing a Euro ROM first. I ordered all of the parts to install using y-cable but I'd rather install via software only.
Never mind. found the answer I was looking for. Sry.
@xconomicron
Thanks for reply. Upon receiving my y-cable and having my gold card all ready to go with the DFT SPL (2.05) on it. It did that first (just as all the directions said to do) after success, I tried the HSPL. The PC screen said success, but the Titan said otherwise. It comes back to SPL2.5 (really 2.05 but showing 2.5), This SPL will not allow ANY other ROM other than US Cingular 1.10 to be flashed (I've tried them all Gold Card method or RUU method). I've tried the HTC SPL 2.6 and it too says success, but the phone says NOPE!
So, I'm stuck with this AT&T crapy ROM that is locked out and the only thing I can do is force update it to 8107 (which only keeps the keyboard from disappearing as far I can tell). And now only to find out that my phone also has this memory capacity problem (when I fill it beyond 70% the phone freaks out and must do a hard reset to remedy).
I know that Cotulla is working on the SPL thing (asked for testers last week) and if I can, I plan to hold out to see if a custom ROM fixes this memory problem.
Thanks
You have to install HSPL to flash custom ROMs. Its in the Windows Phone Development forum as DFT HTC Second Gen HSPL or something

I realize that, but for whatever reason, mine and a few other AT&T Titans will not accept the HSPL. The SPL 2.05 will not downgrade back to 1.10 or accept HSPL or OSPL or custom ROM or EUR ROM. I've tried all by gold card and RUU.

So you're having an issue flashing the compatible SPL with GoldCard?
There have been many problems with that. Make sure you made your GoldCard correctly and the cable configuration is correct. Y USB cables usually have one thinner wire, and usually carries only power, so it's most likely that the power will go there. Then the SD card (or flash drive) and phone go in the other two. Mine worked with the power on the thin wire, phone on the middle port that's connected to both, and the flash drive on the other end. This wasn't the configuration in the GoldCard thread, so the guide's might not work. Really, there's I think 6 possible configurations so it wouldn't hurt to try them all.
Good luck!

I believe that this issue with AT&T Titan arises for those who directly flashed (through goldcard) DFT spl 2.05. Once the DFT spl 2.05 rom is installed there is no way of going back to stock cingular rom spl 1.10 or ability to debrand phone to euro version (even goldcard method will not work). Debranding At&t Titan to Euro rom v2.5 first before flashing the DFT spl2.05 is the best route to take, it also ensure that the phone is fully compatible with all the known custom roms, except for nhathoa rom, all are based on euro rom and radio version.

It would be in your best bet to go and read the other threads. One in particularly...

Basically, MOST ATT branded devices are having problems installing the DFT 2.5 SPL+HSPL. In fact, those that have tried to directly flash DFT's 2.05(2.5) SPL -without debranding the device to the EURO rom listed in the link- are usually stuck on the 2.5 SPL without being able to flash anything else at all. -Which means, no installing roms, upgrading/downgrading SPL's.
The steps I used are on that thread. Habnzrot has also listed the steps he used to successfully debrand his device and install DFT's HSPL/Custom Rom.
Follow the steps carefully...Debranding your device is your number one priority BEFORE doing anything else!
If you need any help just ask.
Okay guys. I think somebody should post a thread that explains how to install the original OSPL and stock rom to their device. Many are having issues. I have this memory capacity issue myself. I hard reset my phone at least 3 times a day.
Could anybody WHO knows how to install stock OSPL and rom post a guide for that? I would be very glad if somebody could.
I have started this thread "Install OSPL(and original rom) after installing any custom rom with HSPL." in Titan windows phone development. I hope you guys will participate in that thread.
Thanx
