[POSSIBLE FIX][AT&T] Successful Flash Back to 1.10 Bootloader - HTC Titan

Fellow AT&T Titan owners:
I, like many of you, have been stuck on the 2.5 bootloader since September and have been working on many possible fixes posted in several forums. After no luck, I was resigned to put my Titan in the kitchen drawer and forget about it until a fix came out. 2 days ago I pulled the Titan out of the drawer to mess around with it because I was bored. I flashed a Titan TEST ROM uploaded by sh4d0w86 back in February 2012 HERE. I thought that it might help reset the settings in the phone. After flashing I checked the bootloader and it still said 2.5. :crying: DAMN!
I left the TEST ROM on the phone overnight and decided to flash stock AT&T ROM a few minutes ago, and I'll be a son-of-a-***** if it's not back to the stock 1.10 bootloader. :victory:
Maybe it was a fluke, I don't know, but I'm back to working with my Titan again. Check it out. Maybe it'll work for you too. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Just reflashed HSPL and custom ROM. I'm good-to-hook again.

I will try it asap, so u just flshed test rom, checked out SPL left it over night and tomorow flashed cingular 1.10 ROM? after that just regular procedure with SPL HSPL ? u flashed via USB cable all things, no Y cable?

---

I had to flash SPL via Y-cable per Cotulla's instructions in the HSPL Thread. But you may not need to let it sit overnight, I don't know. Maybe you can flash right away and get back to 1.10 or maybe not. It was just an unplanned event that had a brilliant result.
I hope it works for you too.

Please check out my post under debrand instructions under Windows Phone 7 development; you do not need your SPL to read 1.09 or 1.10 to successfully HSPL; it is imperative with whichever ROM you use for your device to read "HTC Titan x310e" not "HTC Titan P139100" following that first flash via Gold Card or everything that follows is mute. It is the 2nd step that will test your patience if you find yourself staring at "Entering USB Host Mode..." If following your flash of SPL205's NBH file you do not read on that screen, "Radio - OK", "Bootloader - OK", "Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED" your device will not HSPL on the next step. I recommend from the very beginning you rename the .NBH files to ETERDIAG (8 characters; no more) for steps 1 and 2 flashing via Gold Card. When you make your Gold Card use Quick Format; do not re-format your card following step 1; it is not necessary. I do recommend prior to copying the respective .NBH files to your Gold Card that they are renamed prior to copy. One more note..you may not have HSPL, but neither is your device a brick; SPL2.5.160015.3 is not the end of the world; though staring down a stock ROM really sucks after being spoiled royal.

This exactly. I was able to make calls and use the device as intended. Not like I wanted, but definitely as intended.
I was wanting to get back to stock SPL because I thought it was the only way to flash. The Titan forums are full of people that have been unable to attain HSPL due to the idea of being stuck on 2.5 bootloader was the cause. If your method works, that's awesome. As I said in my post, maybe it was a fluke but it seems so much easier to flash from stock. My primary device now is a One X so I may do some tinkering with my Titan soon. Regardless of how it turns out I appreciate your input into this.

i write back if everythings go ok wih cingular rom but .. ok i write back
Best Regards Fabio Ducilli form Italy

This is my no means a flawless method; your problem is your memory card. I gave up on my microSD card and went to a PNY 4 gig thumb drive. There has been a common denominator throughout these threads in regards what memory card(s) work and don't work. This is the first device I have performed a Gold Card; it too is the first device I've ever own that does not have an expandable memory card slot. I have no way of knowing if renaming the .nbh file as "ETERIMG" or "ETERIMG.nbh" makes one bit of difference. I used "ETERDIAG" twice. In regards to flashing the SPL205 .nbh file...again if upon "Entering USB Host Mode" the device returns to the bootloader screen immediately, that's your memory card. If you think you're frozen in "Entering USB Host Mode" do not give up right away on your device. That said, if your device has been stuck at that screen for at least 30 minutes; it's reasonable to assume the flash failed. As I stated earlier...my wife's device HSPL was by the book; my device, I figured out it has nothing to do with the SPL being 1.09 or 1.10; it does have everything to do with your device being a "x310e". You cannot proceed to HSPL your device without your device being "x310e". I realize this is frustrating but there is a lot of trial and error as to what memory card or thumb drive ultimately works for you and in combination of what filename to use. If you begin "ETERDIAG" both steps are to be "ETERDIAG". My device and it being able to be flashed via USB thumb drive by no means implies this method will work for you and others, but it is proof as there are other threads that have been posted that confirm using a thumb drive does in fact, work. Please, keep us up to date; take care!

What I know of an error 39 is related to USB hosting. Where are you in regards to flashing your device when the error occurs; USB Host Mode or Bootloader? You need Zune running if you're flashing through your computer; I have Windows 8 Professional installed on the laptop I used to flash both my Titans. I have Zune setup on all three of my HTC devices - 2 Titan I (Eternity) and 1 HD2 (Leo). I've had no problems whatsoever with my computer interfacing with my devices to date.

Okay...your device reads "x310e"; yes? When you re-setup your Gold Card to flash SPL205; your device should have underwent at least one restart and re-entered USB Host mode and you will be looking for the following words "RADIO - OK" and "BOOTLOADER - OK" and "Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED"...there would be nothing more on the screen. The next step is restart the device into Bootloader mode, ensure Zune is running on your computer and connect the device to your computer. You open the DFT HSPL folder (the other folder) and you will right click the application and run it as administrator. It should recognize the device and you will select HSPL. This last step takes only a matter of seconds and if successful you will see it almost immediately.

the thing is the name changed to x310e only in phone, but not in bootloader, the bootloader remains PI39100 like i have the case, everyting have flashed as u wrote, but nada in the end, it just wont change from PI39100 to x310e, i can flash euro rom only as ETERDIAG as ETERIMG i get kicked out to bootloader

I restarted my device in Bootloader Mode; it reads as follows:
1st line: PI39100 - That's Papa India Three Nine One Zero Zero
2nd line: HSPL2.5.160015.3(137079)
3rd line: eMMC SND 15188MB
4th line: CotullaH(F:81, ID:1, V11,B:F8)
5th line: "Double Space"
6th line: Radio-17.5006.08.27 (This is the required radio for the Eburon WP7.8.8858 custom ROM).
In regards to your device reading x310e; that's good news! You're half way there. You need to have a successful second flash with your gold card with SPL205. Your device will automatically restart and return to Entering USB Host Mode prompt...it is this step you must have patience; it has to read Radio - OK, Bootloader - OK...Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED; it cannot be anything else or any combination other than these four.
Upon completion of the 2nd flash...SPL205's nbh file does your display indicate both Radio-OK and Bootloader-OK, Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED?

---

It does indicate RADIO-OK, BOOTLOADER-OK, UPDATE SUCSSES, but it does it rly quickly, you said u waited long, in my case it shows USB host mode quickly loading... and the >*>*>*, restart, and the following sucsses, i allso used ETERDIAG for SPL 2.05, hmm, I will try all over again today, i will try to write ETERIMG but i think it will kick me out to bootloader, by the way Happy New Year

If what you've written is correct then you are two-thirds the way there and what's left to do is connecting your device to your computer with Zune running, Your device is to be in bootloader mode when you do this, look for USB at the bottom and execute the program by right clicking the application and run it as administrator.

I did that, proces said finished and boom no hspl cotula writing......

Same problem with HSPL for me
