I have a HTC ATT Titan that is loaded with HSPL (as far as I can tell) - but will not load any ROMS that require radio 17. The screen remains stuck on the HTC logo. If I switch to radio 16 and a supported rom, it works.
1) can someone please confirm if I have infact HSPL running as it should
2) is this a known problem with ATT HTC for it to remain stuck on radio 16?
Thanks

It's not a problem of AT&T. I had the same issue with my euro Titan. Stuck at radio 16.
This is how I fixed it
BTW - not so long ago I decided to flash back radio 16 because of the signal strength and faster network detection.
So I cooked my rom based on 2.05 OEM and tried to downgrade radio to 16 from 17. And I realized that now I'm stuck at radio 17
So I did all things again as I described in my linked post but for downgrade. And downgraded successfully.
One more tip - OEM 2.05 works definitely better for me than OEM 4.06 used with 17 radio.
I followed these instructions, but like any other method - the SPL screen still shows Radio 16. Looks like nothing changes it.
BTW step #7 in your linked post, the file cannot be found for Radio 17 - I do have it from other post, the names exactly matches so I think I have the one you wanted me to load for radio 17 - but still does not wor.
Thanks

As far as you're able to install HSPL (according to your homescreen) and you're unable to install radio - I would offer to use 7.8 custom rom based on 2.05 OEM. Believe me - you won't miss anything with 16 radio.
What is your native tongue? I ask because if it's English or Russian - I can offer my rom (it has only two langs). If it's different - you should wait until ultrashot will make his dynamics next ver. He is going to make it in two instances - for 16 and 17 radio.
P,S, I fixed the radio link in my post.
US English.
What I am really after is to use to unlock the ATT phone - so any ROM that will allow me to unlock this from ATT would be great.
Thanks

If so - I can cook you a 7.8 today (today means - I can start in 7-8 hours and hopefully it's ready within 12 hours). Will send link in PM. It will boot as 0409.
Thanks - this would be carrier unlocked right? Just checking to make sure...

Sure - why the hell should I cook carrier-dependent rom? My second name is not ATT It's just 7.8 - 2.05 OEM based rom for Titan 0409. Also without most of HTC $hitware like HUB, ConnectedMedia etc. You may install it from the market if you want
Check PM - all links there.
Thanks Andrew, the ROM loaded fine and seems to work ok. but But, the dreaded unlock situation is still unresolved. Everytime I reboot, the "enter your pin" screen shows up.
When I boot the titan, the splash screen does say configuring unlok status or something close to this - but then pops up the "enter carriee provided pin" kind of message asking for unlock pin.
Please let me know if you have some pointers on this.
Thanks again for your help - I know you do not have to, but you are.

There is a lot of services like that on e-bay. Find most acceptable for you and go ahead.
You now have the same situation as I had with my Leo TMOUS. You should buy (or receive from your carrier) the unlock code generated for your IMEI. You can not find any rom that will fix this issue.
I was sure that you have carrier-unlocked Titan. The unlocking takes a couple of seconds and takes effect forever - future flashing can not change anything later.
Andrew - I have an unlock code from 3rd party and it unlocks the phone fine, but when rebooted, it asks for the code again.
The same behavior was observed with your ROM as well. So whether I use a stock ATT cingular ROM or your ROM I am seeing the same results - the unlock code is asked again after a reboot.
Thanks

That can only mean that your unlock code is not good. But if it works until reboot - it's better than nothing. Either try to obtain another unlock code or continue inserting code after reboot.
From my experience - I got official unlock code from carrier - so I had to enter it only once and than - forgot about that.
So I called ATT and the rep looked it up with the IMEI numer and said we do not have an unlock code for this phone. Apparently on septemer 20, 2012 some code was released, and that I should look it up on google.
Running out of options....
Is there a way I can go ack to 1.0 SPL, I had that before I installed the HSPL / SPL 2.5 - and it seems nothing can change than anymore.
Thanks

Hi,
I am a SoftBank X01HT user. Recently a rom update was released and I applied it.
ftp://210.136.175.150/F1_RUU/RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
After update the bootloader version changed to 1.09, so I downgraded the bootloader to 1.04 and it seems to be successful (I confirmed it in bootloader mode screen). Then I installed the DoCoMo version shipped rom of following versions.
ROM Version: 1.23.731.2
Radio Version: 1.06.00.10
Bootloader: 1.04
Language: JPN (Japanese)
CID: DOCOM801
The installation finished successfully, but the radio version is 1.14!!
ROM Version:1.23.731.2
Radio Version:1.14.00.10
I tried to upgrade radio to 1.20 but in vain. I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and it seemed to work correctly till 99% (however it shows ERROR 114 finally).
After soft reset, I found that the radio version was still 1.14.00.10.
What's the matter? Anyone can help please?
Best regards,

In addition I tried this rom with bootloader 1.09 and radio 1.18.00.10.
ftp://xda:[email protected][1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.EXE
The radio rom was not upgraded to 1.18, it remains 1.14.
very weird... can you attach a usb-monitor capture when trying to flash another rom? see the wiki (upgrading problems) for instructions on how to use usb-monitor.
pof, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1068511&postcount=35
might be due to the new SoftBank ROM sold since December?
Even they http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php couldn't do it:
The Unlocker it will NOT WORK with Japanase Softbank devices with SPL1.09 and radio 1.14.00.10 sold after 1st December 2006. To check your spl just put the phone in bootloader :hold the [OK] button (from the left side of the phone where the volume button is) and the [power on] button and in same time press the [reset] hole (near to the charger connector -- use stylus to press it!) and you can see IPL and SPL
Radio version can be checked from Start->Settings->System->Device Information:Radio Version.
If you buy the unlocker and claim that your phone is a 1.09 we will NOT refund you. We don't know when we will release a new update or IF we will release one!!!

Yes, I think the new softbank device has the radio area "read only" somehow, that makes impossible to patch the radio in order to SIM/CID unlock. However I would like to see a USB Monitor capture of the process when trying to flash a radio rom on it, to see exactly what the bootloader returns. If anyone can attach it, it would be great

Would be an explaination but uedam said he is stuck on 1.14.0.1 since he installed the new X01HT ROM. This implies he had another version before - so it seems that the read only effect isn't caused by the hardware but by the ROM and can't be removed by flashing another ROM (at the moment).
Perhaps there is a hidden command executed when the ROM is flashed. Something that write-protects a range in memory. But I have no explaination why the process runs until 99%.
Someone has to log the USB traffic when flashing the new ROM.
By the way: I'm not willing to test this on my own device

pof,
I installed usbmon and tried radio rom 1.20 upgrade again (it also failed...)
Here is the log files exported from usbmon. I hope it will help to solve the problem.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/usbmonlog.zip
Sorry, the file was too large to attach to this post.
p.s. If you need further information, please let me know.
Thanks uedam, the process seems to be the same like in every other device. The only "minor" strange thing is that when flashing a 0x10000 byte block at address 0x6d0000 you get a failure the first time, then the RUU does an 'rerase' of this memory portion, tries again and gets a success, and follows with the radio flashing process. But I think this has nothing to do with the problem we're facing here.

Yes, before upgrade I unlocked my X01HT and used with DoCoMo rom. The radio version was 1.06.00.10.
I uploaded the USB traffic log and please view the file. Does the same thing occur when writing another rom? or this is the first case?

Hmmm, would it make sense to have him log the full-upgrade process - presumably the "locking" happened when he did the RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4_1.14.00.10.exe
and hopefully it would happen even if Radio 1.14 were already on the system when he re-did the full upgrade.....

Hey uedam, nice work dude!
I've had a quick look and seems a normal upgrade to me, I see nothing related to the write-locking of the radio, but will look at it more deeply later, in case I skipped something important.
However I extracted GSM.nb from softbank 1.33.761.4 ROM and GSM.nb from HTC 1.18.416.1ROM which both should be radio 1.14.00.10 but the files are different, so I guess the locking is done in the radio itself (??).

pof, it sounds quite interesting. Softbank built the special version of 1.14.00.10 radio?
So, if possible, we cook new rom which includes radio rom same as HTC 1.18.416.1 rom then the person who has 1st version of X01HT can upgrade it safely?

If it is impossible, the person who has contract with softbank will have much trouble. Because they have to upgrade their devices till 1st of April in order to use internet connection. Softbank announced that we would not be able to connect to the net without upgrading to new rom.

Where is this announced? My understanding is that it is not possible to use "Direct Internet" if you don't have the latest ROM but you can still access the internet via normal packet communication - it's more expensive though.

Yes, you need to patch the radio to CID-Unlock. It doesn't matter if the phone is SIM-Locked or not. This needs bootloader 1.04, you can have it by flashing cingular's 1.30 rom.

Yes, it is possible but you need to downgrade your bootloader to 1.04 for this, otherwise you won't be able to flash any radio (patched or not).

You need to have a SuperCID phone in order to UNLOCK the extrom, this means WRITE to it (i.e. delete cab files you don't need and use it as storage space, or put signed cab files from other ExtROM). If your Hermes is not SuperCID you'll be able to unhide it, but will not be able to unlock it.

It will not display "E", and the previous hack used in HTC Wizard for this doesn't work on Hermes. It displays "G" if you are under GPRS or EDGE coverage and "U" or "3G" if you are under UMTS/3G or HSDPA coverage.

Cingular ROMs have HSDPA enabled by default, you don't need to use that option from fit4cat hermes tweaker (it won't hurt if you do it), but it is there because not all roms have HSDPA enabled by default.

one more question... if i flash back to the cingular rom that is a 1.6 bootloader after i have done this whole process am i still able to flash to whatever i want providing that i have flashed from 1.6 to 1.4 unlocked sim and supercid previously.. basically does this flash the cidlock back on it.. or must i keep the bootloader in 1.4 in order to keep flashing roms
On another note.. i read these forums all night for the first time and i want to tell you Pof that you are the most helpful person i have ever come across on ANY forum board and the xda members are lucky to have you here... also extremely intelligent... thanks
extremely grateful

The main reason to SuperCID your Hermes is to be able to flash "whatever" rom you like, without having to bother with bootloader versions. If you use SIM & CID unlocker v2a to make your Hermes SuperCID it will be SuperCID forever, so the CID lock will not be back anymore.
Basically, after your device is SuperCID you only need to go back to bootloader 1.04 if you want to be able to flash extracted radio-upgrade only, as this is not possible with other bootloader versions.
is the patch u put in the radio overwritten when i apply a new rom???
the radio file is included in the rom you flash right?
or you can just find the radio file and flash that alone??
does the radio flash require it to be hooked via active synch or dissable
i have gotten Error 120 country id error twice now trying to flash ur radio flash.. any advice?
i should be outa noob questions shortly..
thank you again
if all goes well(im in the process of this whole precedure as i type...30% now) i shall write this in the wiki in n00b language...

It doesn't really matter, as the RUU will kill activesync anyway, but I always recommend to disable activesync and start the update from bootloader mode (tri-color screen).

Hey abe,

Does the info need updating, or do I need to do something different...
v3a [03-04-2007] - New RUU will make sure HardSPL-1.40 is installed before flashing the radio
Now the unlocking process is faster & safer

I have SPL-2.10 on my phone, not 1.40 as stated above....
v2 [12-11-2006] - updated to patched radio 1.16
Click to expand...

Q: After finishing the process it still asks for unlock code, what should I do?
A: Make sure you have radio version 1.16 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe on your phone and select unlock option. If entering any unlock code fails, please repeat the unlocking process again (you did something wrong the first time).

My Radio is 1.38.00.01.. will using this downgrade it to 1.16??, or do I need to pu 1.16 on before using this tool...??
Ot, once it is unlocked, can I simply stick a new radio on it???
Do I alsoneed to have the working orange sim in their.. as if I put the t-mobile sim in, it is just asking for the simlock code...
As ther eis always a chance of bricking your phone, I just want to be sure everything is ok, before I do it..!! I have the offical wm6 rom installed.
Thanks
Anyone...???
So no one has used this to unlock a phone that has HardSPL-2.10, or a later Radio....??? or reflashed their phone after unlocking...???
Once unlocked, does it remain unlocked for good???
PATIENCE....let us answer when we can!!
Your SPL will end up being downgraded to 1.40.olipro......but thats not a problem as you can just flash HardSPL 2.10.olipro again.
Your Radio WILL be downgraded to 1.16 as this is a hacked radio image which allows the SIM/CID to be unlocked.
You really should update the radio once the device is unlocked since there are BIG improvments with the new ones.
ANY SIM card will work in the device once the device is unlocked....the sim pin pad pops up when the SIM card requires the sim pin code. Obviously if you know the pin you can turn this off in phone settings.
Soory for my impatience.. Ive been biting at the bit all day, after my contract ended and waiting over 2 weeks to sort a new deal out... I was so eager to get my handset up and running...!!!
Thanks for your information... I was unsure whether you could simply re-apply the radio and spl after the unlock....
Maybe this info could be added to the sticky.. after reading through the 50 odd pages, there were many such requests, with no answers....
So as I understand, downlograding to the hacked radio simply facilitates the unlocking, rather than providing the unlock, so flashing back up after, and replacing the hacked radio with a genuine one does not reverse the unlock...
Seriously though, this could do with being on the appropriate thread about SIM/Cid unlocking....!!
Discovering this site about a month ago, and what developers and contributors have done has breathed new life into what was already a great little device...
THANK YOU!!
how do i debrand it and get all the junk off of it from t mobile
i have managed to unlcock it (bought stuff off eby to do it)
but its really slow and sticky
any help s
please
thanks

Neon or Niki
Are you sure it is a Nike? If your in the US, it likely to be a Neon.
If, and I mean if, it is unlocked, then you flash whatever ROM that takes your fancy.
Do keep a copy of the original ROM to flash back in case something goes wrong.
Do HardSPL it, ie write protect the bootloader of the phone, to reduce the likelihood of making it a brick.
i am in the uk
is the t mobile version
its the roms im not sure about

and will putting a new rom on it take all the tmobile stuff off.

Provided the phone is unlocked, you can flash any ROM.
Things to do:
1) HardSPL it with 1.22 HardSPL
2) Flash the WM 6.1 ROM from HTC. It updates the radio 1.65.28.25 or 1.65.29.22 depending on version selected, and it gets rid of the T Mobile extras.
3) If all's well, give an alternate ROM a go. There are several in this forum, including mine.
Have fun.
Cant seem to locate the official htc one as i cant get it off the htc site any links?

It assumes your phone is still locked. Get a cached copy:

Do have a copy of the original ROM. If phone is not unlocked properly, then these ROM flashes will fail, leaving you with a phone that is not usable. It will need the original ROM from your phone provider (t-mobile) to get it going again.
Hi i also have the same phone, a niki 200 t-mobile, and i have used the super CID unlock on the phone and changed to a lite rom, but i cant seem to get the radio to change?
Dose anyone know how i can do this? My phone is 1.15 hard.

Guys - I have a HTC Titan ATT locked phone. I am trying to use it with TMobil - have the unlock code from ebay, but every time it boots, it asks for code that is a great nuisance. I have HSPL but stuck on radio 16. So none of the custom roms work for me that require radio 17.
Can anyone please point me to a ROM that is fully unlocked and uses Radio 16?
Thanks

You need to insert the T-Mobile sim card into the phone; it will then ask for the subsidy unlock code, you punch it in and you will never have to punch that code in again; you're done! If your device is HSPL you are one lucky, lucky individual. I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, the next (logical) step is to flash a custom ROM; as you see below on my signature I use Eburon 2.1. If you opt to flash a custom ROM, it's cake! As you see below I use Eburon 2.1; the required radio is 17. I flashed the ROM first and restarted the phone once again in bootloader mode and flashed the radio; once you've done both...you're good to go. If you're dead set on radio 16 you're going to have to look around for a ROM that uses it; the Dynamic and Eburon are incompatible with radio 17 as you may already know. I don't know if there are radio 16 custom/stock ROMs available here. I do my level best to stay clear of official stock ROMs, I actually lost the HSPL on my phone and it took an act of God to get it back.
Not so straight with ATT Titan
You may know this already - HTC Titan devices are having trouble with the SPL / HSPL - it seems I have HSPL on my phone but it is not letting me use any custom rom that requires radio 17. I am stuck on radio 16.
Perhaps I need a fully unlocked rom that corresponds to radio 16.
Thanks

You're right. Yesterday I sent to lund123 my 7.8 (0409 only) rom based on 2.05 OEM and radio 16. He flashed it but his phone is carrier-locked. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141488
Not good that the guys here see no difference between custom fully unlocked rom flashing and carrier-locked devices.

SIM Lock has nothing common with sianto or anything else.
Carrier lock is placed (like IMEI) in the first 256 kb region of flash data. You can not flash anything that will make some magic work. SIM unlock code should be obtained from carrier or bought online (but it must be generated with unique IMEI number of the phone)
Just to keep things in perspective - I have the 3rd party unlock code, it unlocks the phone, but fogets about it on a reboot. So it is not that I do not have an unlock code, I do.
So now I have installed a full unlocked ROM with Radio 16 from andrew, and I still continue to remain locked to ATT - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That would have been nice to know. Frankly, he's the first one I know who is HSPL but not subsidy (carrier) unlocked.

What does 3rd party unlock mean? I'm not trying to be an ass about this but is your phone subsidy unlocked or not?
3rd Party = ebay provided unlock code, and not directly from the carrier (in my mind).
