I'm going to attempt to update my Ameo very very soon (I'm scared, but I think I can make it), and have the following queries:-
Q) What is actually needed to perform the upgrade (software/hardware)?
A) A SuperCID Ameo/Athena/U1000, USB Cable, Upgrade ROM, ....
Q) On Upgrading, is the device wiped completly (Microdrive included)?
Q) Am I correct in thinking that I need to get the SuperCID unlock from the imei-checkers site? What is their turn around time?
Q) Are there any 'roll-back' instructions in case of disaster?
Q) Will there be less risk associated with the T-Mobile Upgrade (if it ever appears)?
Q) Are WM5 theme's compatible with WM6?
Q) Is there any WM5 software known to be incompatible with WM6?
Q) Is any software that is included in the WM5 image NOT there in WM6?
Q) Is there any adverse effect from using the generic image rather than the T-Mobile custom one?
Apologies for some 'newbie' questions, but I just wanted some clarification to committing to the upgrade, what with the risk of bricking the device.

1) If you have a stock standard UK T-Mobile Ameo, then download ATHE_T-MOB005.rar from http://uploaded.de/?id=wbbw2u
If you have something else, then refer to post #4 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314672
2) make sure you have 50%+ battery life, and an established activesync connection via USB
3) extact the RAR, run the EXE, be paitent and cross fingers
4) that's it!

Yes and No.
Yes - the phone memory (Contacts, SMS, installed software ect) will be wiped.
No - the microdrive is not wiped

No. If you have a T-Mobile UK Ameo, then you simply just need ATHE_T-MOB005.rar

You could try a hard reset. Otherwise someone else here is going to have to help. Personally my upgrade went without a hitch.

I kinda suspect that ATHE_T-MOB005.rar is the offical T-Mobile upgrade the "accidentally" has leaked.

Best search the forums for the answer to this. There's been loads of WM6 experiance now with the other HTC devices. Personally I have had no comaptability issues

I think they are pretty much the same although I have not don a side-by-side comparision, . ATHE_T-MOB005.rar includes the Oprea, VueFLO, TV Out, Adobe Reader, JETCET Print, Midlet Manager
It also incluse the HTC Audio Manger and HTC Task Manager (both very good!)

Some people rather a generic (or vanilla) ROM. I suspect the only diffecterence between ATHE_T-MOB005.rar and the offical T-Mobile ROM will be the branding (includion of a T-Mobile theme)
2 points
I think the only diff is the T-Mob one is for T-Mob CID devices so you don't need CID unlocking.
Pocket informant is incompatible with WM6 - they want you to upgrade
My T-Mob (UK) upgraded SIM and CID locked without a hitch.

But let's be clear - this does not appear to nbe a T-Mobile ROM (it has no branding, no automatic network settings, although these are provided by a wizard). It appears to be the HTC ROM.

Pocket Informant works fine for me. Not sure why you are saying it is not compatible. Have you tried a newer version? I have no issues what so ever with pocket informant..
all current WM6 versions are THE SAME HTC ROM. they merely have a different CID to aid flashing
Pre-upgrade queries
Hi.
I have more or less the same questions.
I have an HTC X7500 unbranded, bought from Dangaard Italy.
I read carefully the main topic, and someone said that he flashed his device
with the ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar file, without CID-unlocking it.
Is this correct?
If so, can someone tell me in which order I have to run the four exe files
included?
Thanks in advance
Mauro
I prefer it anyway...none of the pointless operator branding (and I always hated the T-M phone skin) and I don't feel there is anything missing or lacking.
Many thanks for absolutly top notch replys, particularly Spoonter!
I shall be 'violating' my device later tonight (probably).
I'll probably backup my Microdrive before operation and clear it down anyway.
One other one:-
Q) Can someone point me to instructions on how to 'backup' the current WM5 rom? I'd like to keep hold of a copy of this incase of incident!
Hope someone can also help Pumats!

I believe X7500s are CID unlocked - although someone says the dutch one is CID locked (although his sig says Ameo not X7500?) if it is CID unlocked you just need to run the ROMUpgradeUtility - and wait! it runs everything else for you and just works (or did on my UK Ameo)
Good luck.
Hi
I have a French X7500, it was SIM-unlocked but it was CID locked, so I had to buy the unlock at IMEI check before I could use the upgrade. However I didn't try the T-mobile upgrade, only the HTC001 or something.
Silviu
Thanks Confucious!
Now I have to understand if my X7500 is CID-unlocked.

currently the only cid unlock solution is from imei-check
if you didnt unlock it via them... than urs is not cid unlocked
AMEO can get stuck with this upgrade
I've got a T-Mobile Ameo. UK rom. Never touched SIm or CID lock.
Ran the exe program as per earler post, but for no obvious reason, Activesync lost connection at 0% and updating stopped.
The Ameo is now stuck in bootloader mode, with a white screen saying "Loading...."
I've tried getting out of bootloader (hard reset, down volume, plus reset) and it just keeps coming back to the "Loading..." screen.
A word of caution then for all of you out there... and a plea for help from someone ;-)
how to "un-stick" bootloader mode
... just incase anyone else has the same problem.
This was more luck than judgement....
I took out the battery re-inserted it with the joystick pressed in.
It re-entered bootloader mode, but this time with the colours showing and USB came up. Activesync then recognised the device again and I've got the install running again... now on 56% ... fingers crossed !!!
I would recommend anyone flashing their rom does the full unlock from IMEI-Check
Afterall, if there are problems its a LOT easier to fix a SuperCID device (CID unlocked) than one that has a country code.
Also, I was locked to TMob uk, they charge like £15 to remove just the sim lock even if they let you, so may as well spend the £20 and get it all done.
I can now use any rom and any sim, its worth the money.
Wait is better
Thanks to all for your answers.
I think I'll wait some time to see if an italian WM6 official rom will come out.
In case it will not appear, I'll follow the standard procedure to upgrade, e.g.
CID-unlock, flash, restart and ... hope! ;-)

Hi Titan bastards

Titan bastards? Kind of rough don't you think?
I know he posted something over at PPCGeeks. He put it in the hardspl thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093
I think he means it affectionately.
Maybe we are Titan Bastards, it seems Sprint and other companies have abandoned this phone, we onlyl have a few here like Olipro, DCD and others who continue to develop this rom and make it awesome, so my thanks to them.
yeah i talked with Olipro letting him know that i packaged it and put it up in that link. Not sure yet if he will redo it and update here or what, but he generally uses those terms for his Hard-SPL users. Like his topic in irc for another device SPL "...Hard-SPL-2.60 is out now ****wits! ..."
Either way his patched SPL is working now and it's currently available, but it may be revised.
He's British right? Reminds me of a movie I just watched "This is England" where he calls one of the kids a "cheeky bastid!". BTW, just tried 2.40 right now, works wonderful.
olipro patched that bootloader fast as hell. nothing we do here would be possible without his help. thank you olipro
I am anything u want me to be OLIPRO !!! for i am a unworthy titan owner who has been blessed by all that U and others do for my less than perfect phone.
AND anyone who takes offense to being a titan bastard, can go get a IPHONE
yeah thanks for the hard work mate.

how has sprint abandoned this phone? we wouldnt even have this new rom and bootloader if the rom sprint has been working on hadnt been leaked (and after using it for 2 days i can see why it hasnt been officially released yet)
im a noob i know i know i shouldnt be doing this unless i have a good understanding which i thought i did but now i am thinking twice. I tried to intall the new unlocker 2.40, i did everything it asked of me and now its stuck in the three color screen and i have no clue how to get out of it nothing is working, Activesync wont connect. someone please help!!!!
I am in the same boat. I got to the boot loader screen no problem, I upgraded to titan_radio_3.27.00.exe no problem. I then ran ROMUpdateUtility.exe from dcd_2.0.0_beta_sprint.exe.
No errors or problems but when i rebooted it hangs onit just hangs at the "HTC smart mobility" screen.
If I tried to replace the dcd_2.0.0_beta_sprint.nbh with another .nbh could that save me?
I am able to get to the boot loader screen and have USB, but on warm or cold boot it just hangs at the "HTC smart mobility" screen.
Seems if i have boot loader access, i am not hosed.
I did run the latest unlocker Hard-SPL-MFG(2).exe
the new radio/spl is not compatible with the older roms. Something in the XIP has changed and if not present your device will hang.
are you aware of a solution?
you guys are having problems cause you did not run titanrelocker before flashing the ne stuff, or if you ran it you did it wrong.
it is imperative that you run the bat file inside of titanrelocker folder as opposed to running ruu.exe file.
for you to do that now that you are stuck ya gotta boot to bootloader mode , flash a older rom then activesynce and relock the phone the right way.
I just want to point out the fact that this is about the 4th question of the exact same nature i have answered today. I had none of these problems because i READ before i installed. none of what ive said here is news as it WAS ALL MENTIONED IN THE FIRST POST OF KMARTBURRITO'S THREAD
the moral of the story: dont friggin mess with anything if you cant be assed to read the first post of the thread of the rom you're flashing.
have a nice day
Thanks, i appreciate your comments and i thought i was understanding this.
Can you recommend a older ROM and DL location?
Also just to be sure, to re flash i would just switch the current .nbh for the older one. Correct?
As a linux admin i understand noobs on the forum. I am trying to learn I am sorry for the inconvenience. I only posted cause i am desperate and failed trying to fix on my own.

I didn't use a relocker and I'm up and running fine. So I don't think your comments work for everyone.

I flashed my phone awhile ago. So it was before any new hard spl.
Anybody that can upload it here or link it to here, from somewhere other than ppcgeeks? There site is down, and I'm sitting here ready to re-up the SPL to try the new dcd rom, since his 1.6.10 keeps not waking up for phone calls and SMS.
Hello,
I have tried absolutely everything I know and that I have read. 3 different micro sd cards and 2 card readers. I actually bought a Kingston card and kingston card reader because I read kingston works fine for goldcard. I am desperate for fixing this.
There is no way I can get passed the loading screen after rebooting the phone in usb host mode. This are the steps I follow.
My phone at&t Titan pi39100
1. Create goldcard using a 2gb kingston.
1.1 Format the card in Fat32
1.2 Apply the goldcard tool
1.3 Copy the eterimg.nhb file that comes in the file provided by Cotulla for the SPL. (25 mb) ( I have actually tried inverting the order of steps 1.2 and 1.3 just for the sake of trying)
2. Prepare the Y cable as you can see in the pictures attached and reboot the phone and try to flash the SPL. Pressing power, vol - and camera. It gets in to the usb host mode and then a loading screen appears for a few seconds. Next thing I see is the spl screen reading
PI39100 MFG
SPL-2.5 160015.3 (137079)
eMMC SND 15188MB
TOUCH A1 (F:81, ID:1, V11, B:F8)
RADIO- 16.23.02.26_A
Now, I have noticed that if after this I try to flash the hspl I get the congratulations message, but my phone has not changed at all and I cannot flash any custom rom.
I read somewhere that the MFG may be a type of SPL that is impossible to flash, Can someone please confirm that I am not missing any step that that there is just no hope for my phone?
I have spent hours and hours reading and trying with this. I had the hope that some of the problems I have with the phone will be fixed with a Custom Rom, but if I can't flash it, I think I'm getting rid of the phone. I see lots of potential with the windows phone but my personal experience has been terrible
If someone can help I would be totally thankful.

the AT&T Branded HTC Titan is not compatible with DFT's HSPL at the moment. Any attempt will update your SPL from 1.10 to 2.5 which is locked to the phone. Only Rom that is flashable is the Stock AT&T image.
Last we heard from Cotulla among other HTC Titan users are testing possible issues/solution. So for the time being there is no ETA as usual and we AT&T Titan owners are stock with what we currently have.
So the best you can do is flash the stock rom and update to 8107 and patiently wait for any news from DFT/Cotulla
Hey yo...is this an ATT Titan? or an unbranded Titan? It looks like an ATT Titan...but anyway, if it is an ATT Titan, did you successfully debrand the device to the Euro Rom first?
I see Tachi has beaten me to the punch...
Yes...I think we need to tell Cotulla or DFT to put a warning to ATT users who want to try this on the direction page.
IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR AT&T TITANS THAT IN ORDER TO INSTALL THE DFT SPL/HSPL - YOU MUST FIRST DEBRAND YOUR DEVICE TO A EURO ROM! - lol -- However, I hear that soon ATT users will be getting some updates along with the 2.5 SPL...so this may be only temporary.
Try to flash back to the original ATT rom and see if the SPL will return back to 1.10. If it doesn't...be patient...they are working on a fix for this.

I cant go back to 1.10 I am stuck at 2.5 no matter what I do. I tried to debrand to a Euro Rom with no success either, this is actually what had me confused cause I could read some post from AT&T users confirming that they had flashed the DFT HSPL.
Well I will keep waiting. I agree with you that a warning for AT&T usera at the beginning of the post would be helpful.
Thanks a lot to both of you. At least I can sleep tonight knowing I it's not that I am missing some evident step.
AT&T sucks their policy is an abuse of power (to the eyes of a European) There are lots of things I miss from the US and I am looking forward to go back, but my phone carrier is not one of them
P.S. I can't make backups of the phone with Zune either, it give me an error and neither the patch from htc or the solution from microsoft work. Just sharing it in case it helps someone.

Strangely, I also have internet sharing on my AT&T titan.

NO!
Flash the European ROM so that your titan can be debranded. If you attempt to DFT unlock now you will be stuck like the rest of us

Somewhere in the forum, you must use GOLDCARD method to debrand- does this applies to me as well? I bought the AT&T Titan used- the previous owner somehow has internet-sharing option under the settings.

Yes you need a goldcard to debrand the titan. To get internet sharing under settings the previous owner must have updated to 8107 since thats how i got that under settings as well. So you can check under "About" and if you have anything other then 7720 under "OS Version" that means they used the cabsender.

I have 7.10.7720.68 - So by your logic, he did not use 'cabsender.'
I wonder how he got internet sharing there- can this phone be possibly unlocked?

If by unlock you mean full on Interop DFT unlock then yes if you have SPL 1.10
Those who have had success using DFT unlock had previously used a Goldcard to flash a European ROM. The issue we are having is that if you attemp to flash DFT unlock with SPL 1.10 to get stuck.
So if you want custom roms it will be smart to first flash a European ROM (2.05) using the goldcard. Once you are runnig the unbranded 8107 rom then start the DFT unlock process
No problem andres22,
haha, And yes, I would agree...as would most-all AT&T users too.

All the AT&T Titan I believe, had the Internet Sharing in the stock Rom. I got 2 Titan last November with 7720 ROM with it.
Just want to let everyone in this thread know;
I see claims that debranding must be done and guarantees success...
There has been no quantitative proof that debranding does anything. The success stories are the loudest, of course, and more and more threads keep popping up where users are saying "if only I debranded I wouldn't be stuck on SPL 2.05!"
Having met with success after debranding doesn't prove anything. I didn't debrand and I got my Titan to HSPL, admittedly it was a lengthy and unnerving process. I don't think that debranding does anything, I don't think it even logically CAN do anything, but what I do know is that the AT&T titan is not "not supported", as was claimed in one of the first posts. It was supported, but I'd say half (or less than half, again, loudest of the bunch) of users are having issues with at least two parts of the process, and DFT is looking into it.
I guess I should get off my ass and see if I can unstick the SPL on my second titan.

I see claims that debranding must be done and guarantees success...
There has been no quantitative proof that debranding does anything. The success stories are the loudest, of course, and more and more threads keep popping up where users are saying "if only I debranded I wouldn't be stuck on SPL 2.05!"
Having met with success after debranding doesn't prove anything. I didn't debrand and I got my Titan to HSPL, admittedly it was a lengthy and unnerving process. I don't think that debranding does anything, I don't think it even logically CAN do anything, but what I do know is that the AT&T titan is not "not supported", as was claimed in one of the first posts. It was supported, but I'd say half (or less than half, again, loudest of the bunch) of users are having issues with at least two parts of the process, and DFT is looking into it.
I guess I should get off my ass and see if I can unstick the SPL on my second titan.

If your claim is true- this changes everything.
Care to elaborate how you obtained HSPL on your titan? I am sure at&t titan owners are eager to know
Well I have two AT&T Titans, because I thought I half bricked my first one with the f400 error. Then I f400'd the second Titan.
I went back to work on my original Titan, I got rid of the f400 error and I THINK I was stuck on SPL 2.05, HSPL wouldn't install even though it said success. Some combination of hard resetting and flashing the stock ROM brought me back to SPL 2.10, from there I flashed 2.05 again and then HSPL worked.
I have spent significantly less time trying to HSPL my second Titan, but for what it's worth I have been unable to duplicate whatever I did to my first Titan in my half hour of tinkering with it. Stuck on 2.05.
(I think I spent no less than 20 hours on my first Titan, though most of that was because goldcard wasn't working with all but one of my USB devices.
Stuck at spl screen with 2.05 spl

can you give the link for the stock rom with spl 2.10 and did you boot the phone successfully after flashing this stock rom???? Please help i am stuck on the spl screen indefinitely and nothing is working to get my phone back to working condition...
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...

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to wait til developers come up with something for AT&T Titan. I wised the instructions included info for SPL/HSPL on AT&T Titan, Oh well.
Well they didn't know it was going to he different. In all my HtC devices, this is the first that has been different and the most complicated I must say.

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.

by getting my AT&T Titian stuck at SPL 2.5
does this mean my phone is locked from any future customization?

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.

I'm not sure if I have a warranty... I don't think I purchased it. Trying to understand, there's no fix to my situation as of right NOW... But somehow, can developers come up with a fix you think? Or, no matter what, I'm stuck with the stocked ATT Rom?

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.

Exactly what I've been saying. The only out right now, is to send it back to AT&T and trade for another one.

Hello there,
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.

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
My Titan is fully Cathulah'd. I was wondering if I should install this higher SPL version on it. What say you?

If you plan to revert your phone to stock without any ability to flash custom roms - go ahead.
If you plan to use fully unlocked phone - just forget further touching of SPL part. "Higher" or "lower" - does not matter. We have only stock locked of unlocked custom SPL state.

I know right? But I had to ask since I didn't know. It's still a wonder to me, the new thing my phone has become. Does hard SPL mean that nothing can make alterations to our phones? Like a protection mode if you will.

I bought a Titan already HSPL a while back but I got a 2nd Titan I which is my wife's device and it had not been HSPL until I did it. To make a long story short I undid the HSPL on my device when I used it as a guide to do my wife's device...I was PO'd big time but I successfully HSPL'd her device. It took me four days to re-HSPL my device but I had to go an entirely different path to do it. That's how I know either the Cingular 1.10 or European 1.09 ROMs work; the problems arise in the hardware needed to do this and the newer your Titan is in regards to when it was manufactured the harder it is to HSPL; it's one thing to debrand your device, it's a whole another story HSPL if the internal "flash" drive has been partitioned in such a way that either the drive is slightly corrupted or partitioned in such a way that HSPL is impossible such as the Titan II has been setup which to date is impossible to HSPL. If you're new to this then nothing I'm about to say will make any sense to you, but HSPL allows us to flash our device the way we're accustomed to flashing Windows Mobile/Phone devices for a good long time. In a nut shell if you load an official stock ROM back onto the Titan you're playing with fire. I know owners of these devices that would kill to have their device HSPL and are unable to. You can actually download apps to your device without the Marketplace and make adjustments to the device's settings. It's stunning how locked down carriers and manufacturers make them and why, I do not know. You'd make more money selling the damn thing and buy a stock device if you're hell bent on returning to stock.

Yeah the process took me about four days as well. I used the Cingular and European ROMs. But I guess the European ROM is what worked for me since my phone is now an X310e. But I don't suppose it matters a hill of beans. I'm proud as pie to finally know how to debrand and load custom ROMs.
