A long time ago I flashed my T-Mobile UK Vario II with the HTC South African 1.35 Full ROM Upgrade package.
Some time has passed and I'd like to flash with the HTC AKU 3.3 ROM or try one of the WM6 cooked ROM's. The only problem is the methods used to flash have changed and after reading the Wiki's and forums, I'm still confused!
Now, because I used the package, the SPL is now version 1.09. From what I've read, this means I cannot upgrade the Radio ROM only. No big problem I thought, but if I flash again with the HTC 2.05 ROM package, I won't be able to upgrade the Radio from version 1.34 to the latest 1.38.00.10. Is this correct?
no worries. All radio RUUs nowadays automatically load Des' Sspl which can flash any radio. Simply load 2.05 then go flash radio 1.38.00.10 using pof's link.
To be safe however, you should load Bootloader 1.10.Oli after you finish the 2.05 upgrade but before you flash the radio upgrade. This will guard against a flash failure that corrupts your CID. Tomorrow, I'll build a sspl based Installer that loads Olipro's 1.10.Oli bootloader & post to the WiKi since everybody should have this.
Thanks for clearing that up Sleuth. Its made things a hell of a lot clearer now.
Will update to the 2.05 AKU 3.3 ROM + 1.38 Radio and then to WM6 once you lot stop releasing a cooked ROM every couple of days.
Many thanks!
Hello,
I have a SPV M3100 and I upgraded to WM6. I flashed the spl and radio and followed the upgrade guide...
I want to put back my old spl and radio so I can send it back to Orange.
Before I had:
SPL: 1.04
Radio: 1.06.00.00
OS: Orange UK ROM
Now I have:
SPL: 1.40olipro
Radio: 1.38
OS: Orange UK ROM
The Orange UK ROM I used was the Reconstructed one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=278060&page=3
Stupidly, to put back everything I flashed spl 1.10.oli then flashed the full ROM but kept getting noGSM and then getting stuck in boot.
To get it working I had to upgrade to spl 1.40olipro again and flash radio 1.38...
I then extracted the radio from the ROM (as its the one I need) and tried flashing it with that but still had same noGSM error.
How can I get 1.06.00.00??? on the WIKI 1.06 is unavailable (which is why I extracted it from the ROM)
In the 'Standard Method' here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
it says... "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"
Can anyone advice me on this??? I do need SPL1.04 anyway as thats what orange shipped with my phone...
I dont know where to get SPL1.04 and is it correct that radio 1.06 can only be flashed on SPL1.04 and thats why im getting noGSM when I do it???
Thanks Everyone, these forums are great, after thinking I bricked my phone yesturday (flashing the full UK Orange ROM) and getting noGSM it is now fixed
P.S.
If I trust the stuff in the Full Orange ROM I used.... I extracted the SPL too which says its 1.04.
I want to try flashing SPL 1.04 first then the radio, but been advised not to? Everyone says flash SPL last! But I dont see how if it says: "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"
The problem you are having is that radio 1.38.x.x will have flashed the updated Radio bootloader to HTC_BOOT 108.
Reflashing 1.06.0.0 will not downgrade the bootloader to the required 107, and afaik there currently is no way to downgrade the radio BL.
You should still be able to use the Orange ROM with the updated radio, and if you have to do a orange warranty call, it's unlikely they will complain.
@dlfranks: Read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286755&?p=1217676&postcount=1007
@oliber: he's wanting to go to a radio with htc_boot 0106, probably that's not possible when you've already flashed 0108. I never tried this, but it seems that two users are having the same issue, so probably once you have 0108 you can only downgrade to radios with 0107 (but keeping 0108 on your phone, that is).
thanks
thanks guys, that makes sense. I think ill try the other radio. basicly i have only had it a few days and want to try a difo phone, there happy to swap it in the first 7 days... i just dont want them complaining i messed around with it...
want to make it look as much untampered with as poss!!
at least i got the orange rom on there, it looks good.
if i get the radio to the lowest one i can, how do i go about getting spl1.04 back on my phone. i have read the hard spl threads but cant work it out. i have 1.40olipro. do i downgrade to 1.10.oli then to 1.04? or to 1.06 then 1.04. what order?
I extracted the spl1.04 rom the orange rom i used...
thanks for your help again

first flash HardSPL-1.10, then flash 1.04. Never go to 1.06.
Morning,
I have a T-mobile HD2 I used the HARDspl 2.8 and I'm unable to return my device to the OEM SPL...
I tried copying the file to my card, renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh however the device will only flash the gray screen and return to the rainbow screen... Any advise?
Regards,
run hspl3 choose 2.08.0000
thats stock
If you want to go up to 2.10 (no real need. but its nice to match if you have the 2.13 rom) then remove hspl first as above, then run the 2.13 rom flash over usb
I was able to get it to revert to 2.08.0000, but I believed it was 2.10 or 3.10 after the TMO update to 3.14. Heck I have no idea and to be honest, this is the west my phone has worked since I first purchased it! LOL
it should be stock spl 3.03 now, and it works! winner.
Alright guys so I'm trying to install a custom rom but I' m stuck because I cannot even get hspl installed.
I have an AT&T Titan and am using a selfmade y- cable and to gold card. I flashed the OSPL 2.5 via goldcard and it worked with success, next I ran HSPL Wizard and it said that hspl installed correctly but when the device rebooted hspl wasn't installed.(Picture 1)
So I'd tried reflashing the stock Rom"IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE" to redowngrade the Spl and it flashed with success!(Picture 2)
The problem now is that even after flashing the stock rom the spl is still "2.5" when it should be "1.10"(Picture 3)
So my question to you fine gentelmen is, "Does anyone know of a way to get my spl to change?"
Thank you all in Advance!
Also now when I try to gold card anything other than a signed Cingular rom my device shows loading... the card reader flashes a few times, and then it jumps staight back to the spl loader mode?(like pic 1 and 3)
I haven't done it yet, but I am when my cables get here, but I have read the ENTIRE thread of Gold Card and DFT's HSPL for 2nd Gen devices, so I'll take a stab at it first.
you said I flashed the OSPL 2.5 via goldcard and it worked with success,, the OSPL is the original SPL when you need to bring it back to stock for warranty reasons. But that doesn't explain as to why your pics say that you SPL is 2.05 either. From my reading, if your SPL is now 2.05, you can flash HSPL and custom ROMS.
I would flash the SPL again, using the SPL not OSPL.
I'm sure you did that initially and just typed it wrong or I'm misunderstanding you.
Yeah I actually meant just the spl that came with dft's hspl.
i'm in the process of rewiring my y-cable and trying to start fresh!
Will post the results!
Thanks for replying though man!
I managed to get back my spl to 1.10 from 2.6 (from the recent HTC update), by flashing the stock rom twice. This was coincidental, while I trying to get the internet sharing to work with my att titan 1 (there is a thread for this in this forum)- This how I did it: flash stock cingular rom, then forced cab update to 8107; booted phone then reset while booting up switched it again to spl mode to reflash stock cingular rom second time then forced update cab update again to 8107, following this i did a factory reset. After all this long drawn process I didn't get the internet sharing to work but for some reason it did downgrade spl from 2.6 to the original 1.10
BTW, my att titan is now unbranded, flashed with european stock rom using goldcard with spl 2.5
Same Issue here.. except I'm on the 2.5 that came with DFT's folder.. I can only flash the AT&T .nbh nothing else
I can't even get to 2.6 (HTC update). stuck on 2.5

I reflashed the stock rom, and tried cab update to 8107 but when I run cab sender tool it finishes "restarting your phone..Error: System.Exception: Firmware Device is null at wm7update.Program.UpdateDevice(IDeviceInfo deviceInfo, List' 1 updates, UpdateType type)
at wm7update.Program.Main(String[] args)"
Never used cab sender so I have no idea what this means.
Sorry mate, I can't help you with that error. I haven't had any problem with cab sender with stock cingular rom. Try to search the other forum re cab sender. I wonder if this is to do with the DFT 2.5 spl. Why not try to debrand your att titan using the goldcard method? this might be the long process if you can't get the cab update going.
Now I'm stuck on 7720 .. CabSender Doesn't work (null Firmware)... Can't Flash Europe 2.05 rom using GoldCard... I'm stuck with 2.5(DFT) SPL even when i try flashing the SPL 2.6 from HTC or the HSPL from DFT.... Whatever SPL they made or got it from..... It won't upgrade/downgrade.
This is Nice...

I believe it has something to do with language cabs being sent with update cabs.

I'm just throwing this out there...but it seems that ATT Titans seem to be getting half brick issues more compared to unbranded devices.
Did you guys stay at stock SPL 1.10 (never upgraded the bootloader from the HTC website) when you tried installing the HSPL through goldcard?
OR
Did you upgrade the bootloader (off the HTC website) to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 before trying the goldcard?
I have not tried anything yet with my phone, but I was curious because half of the Titans have SPL 2.6 already from HTC while all/most ATT users are stuck at 1.10. -Would this have anything to do with the problems we are having?

Flashing the stock rom twice reverted the spl back to 1.10 for someone else earlier today. its worth a shot.

I had SPL 1.10 ... Then I made a GoldCard with the 2.05 SPL within the DFT folder and flashed... The Bootloader then read 2.5.XXXXX ... So I assumed all went well and ran the HSPL Install program.. It continued successfully and claimed HSPL was installed.. I restarted the phone and the bootloader still read 2.5.XXXX

Even without the Language cab it fails... And the phone does not stay in the Zune Update Screen for long... If I restart the phone and manually enter the Zune Screen (Vol-) it restarts after 2~ seconds.
----
I tried flashing the Cingular 1.10 rom twice via GoldCard and RUU both flashed successively but kept the SPL at 2.5
habnzrot .. From what i assume did not attempt HSPL, merely updated to HTC 2.6 SPL then unbranded the titan by flashing Europe ... essentially going from 2.6 > 2.05 > 1.10
Whatever is going DFT SPL2.05 is preventing it from being rewritten up or down
Back on 8107 ... Run the Cabsender and while the phone is restarting for the first time.. Pull the Battery and then Power on the phone while holding (vol-)
The downgrade happened when I was on stock Cingular rom with spl 2.6 (upgraded through HTC recent bootloader update) as I said previously it was a pure coincidence whille I was trying to get my internet sharing to work. When I unbranded my titan though goldcard, I first upgraded it using the HTC update so I was back to spl 2.6 ATM I have not tried to flash the HSPL.
This is very interesting...on the DFT thread on the Windows forum, it seems very few people with ATT Titans have the HSPL and actually flashed a custom rom.
So Tachi, just for confirmation your phone actually had "HSPL" 2.5.xxxx after goldcard? or just SPL 2.5.xxxx??? I think the OP had just "SPL" 2.5.xxxx after trying to goldcard with HSPL.
It would be very interesting if this has to do with the original SPL number on the phone. When you upgrade to SPL 2.05 (which is basically the same/modified HTC's 2.5 SPL?) it's possible that it doesn't "successfully" upgrade when we have SPL 1.10 even if it does say "successful."
Now going back to your problem...and once again I am throwing this out there...
Have you tried reflashing the stock OS with with Advanced RUU?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637294
I am not entirely sure if what this does as it may be just another way to flash through RUU, but I remember Task 29 on WinMobile where it practically wiped the phone before you could install the a new/stock OS/SPL.

I had 1.10 then I used the GoldCard to flash DFT 2.05 SPL ... Thats when It showed 2.5 ... I attempted afterwards to flash HSPL but the SPL remained at 2.5 ..
I tried using the Advanced RUU but its the same.
task28 stops task29 which formats the Partition where the UserData is stored... It leaves the radio/SPL untouched. Now task00 stops task28 from taking place keeping UserData, but it fails when i try doing a task00/28 with the 2.05 SPL DFT provided.

No.. cabs work only on things that deal with the OS. Bootloader, Radio, SPL are too low level actions.
Have anybody fixed this cabsender error: "system.exception: firmware device is null"? I still can't upload language pack. What I'm doing wrong?

Is there a HSPL for the AT&T Titan yet? Goldcard didn't work Trying to flash stock rom worked, but didn't downgrade SPL So, I diffinetly need HSPL for a branded AT&T Titan. Thanks
Take a look over here at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744253. You'll have some reading to do.
If you tried the SPL / HSPL on your AT&T Titan first (before debranding) then you are stuck without a fix (as of yet).
I was in the same boat and my Titan had a memory issue and caller's sound quality was horrible, so I got a warranty exchange from AT&T. When my new one arrived, I de-branded it first with the EUR ROM, then flashed SPL / HSPL and now I absolutely LOVE my Titan (prior, I HATED it). Now (after 6 replacements & no AT&T locks) I have a custom ROM and everything is unlocked and no caller sound quality / memory problems.
Sucks for me then...

Hello, if you actually checked the bottom of the guide I've written for this, it provides instructions on how to apply HSPL for your Titan, assuming you did all the correct steps on debranding it first
V. HSPL
i. Once confirming you have 2.5.xxxx.xx on your SPL screen, you will now proceed to the final part: enabling HSPL. What you will need to do is navigate once more into "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1" (the .rar file you downloaded from DFT), and go here: >DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1>2_HSPL>DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.ex e. Open the executable and properly read the instructions.
ii. Enter SPL once more on your phone and plug it into your computer, making sure that it says "usb" in black letters towards the bottom portion of the screen.
iii. Click next on the program and read careful about what requirements you will need on the computer. Typically, it should all be there, but it never hurts to make sure.
iv. Take a deep breath and click next. It will attempt to connect to the phone. If it succeeds, continue reading the instructions the program will display. If it does not work, recheck your wire connection and that you have spl 2.5.xxxx.xx on your device, and that it is in SPL mode.
v. Make sure you select the rom version that you have (it should be the only selection there, but just make sure it is before continuing). Select next once you've made your selection.
vi. It will install HSPL. Once completed, the phone may reboot itself back into SPL mode. If it has succeeded, underneath where it shows your rom version, it will either have "DFT" or "CotullaH" written there. Mine says "CotullaH".

I know exactly where he is stuck because he is using USA AT&T Titan. The HSPL instructions doesn't warn USA AT&T Titans owners of the issue (AND IT SHOULD). So, if you following the procedure that every custom ROM points to exactly (like I did and a lot of other people did) you will be stuck on 2.5 SPL with no way out.
I haven't seen a warning to USA AT&T Titans anywhere that should say to de-brand your Titan first before attempting the HSPL or you'll be stuck.
Your outline will not help this person where he is stuck. Cotulla is working on it (I do believe).
There are a few warnings on the developer forum that AT&T branded phones must first be debranded before the phone can flashed with other roms
Ok, if you say so.

Not totally. You can still update the OS thru cab loader method to Tango and I assume soon after the 7.8 is released you'll be able to do the same. The only thing is you are stuck with crappy stock AT&T ROM. I say crappy because I absolutely hated my phone until I got custom ROM on it. Can you do a warranty exchange with AT&T?
Easy to follow thread for hspl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912
If you have the image (or .nbh file) and you dont have it names ETERIMG.nbh it will not flash
here's why, The HTC OEM's names the device eternity. For the USB mode to be able to recognice the correct rom to flash it has to fit the model of phone you have. ETER is the first 4 letters to its OEM name. Add IMG and you got yourself the correct name for flashing roms to your device.

Cotulla is working on it (I do believe). I stopped reading the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912) when I got my new device in and de-branded it first (there by preventing the situation that you are in), however, where I left off in my following that thread was Cotulla asking for USA AT&T testers. I have followed the email notifications that I get from that thread, and nothing new that I've seen. On pages 25 - 28 you'll find that Cotulla is (or was) working on it.
So to answer your question, I tried everything when I was stuck on SPL 2.5 and nothing worked. You are stuck on AT&T stock ROM for now. Maybe throwing $$ at Cotulla would speed the process up?:fingers-crossed:
Hope this helps

Hi, I'm currently on a debranded ATT Titan HSPLed with custom rom. Previously I managed to downgrade my SPL from euro v4 back to stock Cingular rom v1.10 These are the steps I took to downgrade:
1. Flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10 using RUU. This brings my Titan from euro Tango rom to stock cingular rom. However the SPL version was stucked at v4
2. Out of desperation, I flashed the stock TEST Cingular rom 2.01 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477189 again using RUU.
3. Please note that cingular rom 2.01 is a demo/test rom so its not functional.
4. RE-flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10. This time around it downgraded my SPL from v4 to the stock v1.10
Give this a try, and report back. If it works please before trying again to flash HSPL, debrand your titan to euro rom 2.05 using goldcard method
Goodluck.

I had the same situation on my AT&T Titan for 2 weeks, thinking it was my Gold Card or SD, but I finally upgrade the HTC SPL to the official 2.6 from June update.
Then I reflash the Stock AT&T Rom, but the SPL remain at 2.6.
Then I quit for a while. Removed the battery for a couple of days, & tried the Debranding again using the IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh, renaming it to ETERIMG.nbh & Goldcard my phone onto this EU Rom.
Then the SPL was downgraded from 2.6 to the EU 2.5.
After that I proceeded to the DTF SPL2.5 & HSPL & voila, the custom Roms.
Hope it help.

At this point, I'm deperate. Thanks for the advice, I will be sure try this method and hope for the best. I'll try to keep everyone updated with my results in this thread. Thanks again :good:

I know exactly where he is stuck because he is using USA AT&T Titan. The HSPL instructions doesn't warn USA AT&T Titans owners of the issue (AND IT SHOULD). So, if you following the procedure that every custom ROM points to exactly (like I did and a lot of other people did) you will be stuck on 2.5 SPL with no way out.
I haven't seen a warning to USA AT&T Titans anywhere that should say to de-brand your Titan first before attempting the HSPL or you'll be stuck.
Your outline will not help this person where he is stuck. Cotulla is working on it (I do believe).

My outline comes from the guide I made specifically for AT&T phones that need to do in order to safely debrand and install hspl.
So, if the person went to read the guide fully (where I mention several times that this process is required if they wish to install custom roms) then they can find that they'd be most likely be able to install HSPL after using my debranding method.
My AT&T Titan has HSPL applied and running a custom rom, and there's a picture guide provided in the post to show it.
However, I agree, I do not see any warnings that normally, you can't install HSPL on an AT&T HTC Titan all by itself without debranding. Honestly, there should be, because I can't count how many posts I've seen of people soft-bricking/bricking their devices.
EDIT: However, I guess I forgot to add, you cannot do anything after you applied the custom 2.5 SPL provided by DFT, IF you didn't debrand it prior. If you did debrand your phone, obviously you'll be fine. If you haven't though, then you'll be stuck along with everyone else and you'll need to get a new phone or wait for the fix.

If this actually works, we need to spread the news about. There are still a bunch of AT&T Titans locked out there on SPL 2.5. franchize1989, OP, give us an update if it worked or not. Good luck
