[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
I used the goldcard method to flash DTF SPL with no issues. Then i run the HSPL Wizard (not gold card) phone plugged into computer in SPL mode. HSPL wizard says success, but after reboot still no HSPL.

Here is the process I followed (Gold card method which appeared to work but no HSPL still). Can someone confirm if this is correct, and or if there is another process I could try? Once again HSPL wizard says sucess but upon reboot still no dice...

1. You have to check if your device can perform HSPL. Reboot the device into SPL screen and check the first line. If it says “PI39110” or “PI39100” that means your device can perform HSPL. If not, send a msg to CotullaH.

2. Download this file and extract it. You’ll see 2 folders named “1_SPL205” and “2_HSPL” inside the big folder “DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1”. Now reboot the device into SPL screen and connect it to the PC. Browse for DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\1_SPL205\TITAN\ and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the instructions. This process will install the SPL 2.05 to the device.

a. If succeed (the progress bar will reach 100% before the device restarts), do the followings:

- Reboot the device into SPL screen, connect it to the PC, browse for DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\2_HSPL and run the DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe. Just follow the instructions.

- After that, reboot the device into SPL screen again, and you should see those lines “HSPL2.5……” or “CotullaH….”, that means the device has completely HSPLed. Congratulations!

b. If not succeed (the progress bar reaches 4% and the device reboot, the program on your PC says “Invalid Vendor ID” or “Error 294”), that means your device needs a GoldCard to perform HSPL. Do the followings from step 3 to step 8:

3. Go and buy 2 USB cables in a junk shop and connect them together through this video to create a Y-cable.

4. Prepare the 1GB or 2GB USB, or a Memory card with a Card reader (above 1GB capacity) and format them into FAT32 format. If you don’t know how to, search on Google.

5. Download this file and extract it. Now connect the USB or Card reader to PC and run goldcardtool.exe, it should be likes this

The item in the red circle is the name of your USB or Card reader. If not, click on it and select your USB. After that, click on “Load GoldCard.img” and browse for the file name “goldcard.img” in the folder where you extracted the file GoldCard.rar

Click “Patch MMC”, and your USB (or Memory card) will become GoldCard. If not, repeat from step 4.

6. Browse for DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\1_SPL205\TITAN and copy the file ETERIMG.nbh to your USB (or Memory card). DO NOT leave any other file in your card except the file ETERIMG.nbh.

7. Reboot the device into USB Host mode (hold Volume Down button and Camera button, then press and hold the Power button. When the phone vibrates, release the Power button but still hold the Volume Down button and the Camera button), connect the Y-cable to PC, connect the USB (or Card reader) to one of the Y-cable port, connect the phone to the other Y-cable port. It will automatically flash the SPL to your device, so just wait. If it doesn’t, repeat from step 4.

8. After everything finished, reboot the device into SPL screen and you should see those lines “HSPL2.5……” or “CotullaH….”, that means the device has completely HSPLed. Congratulations
