Has anyone succeed with the goldcard method on the Brazilian titan (ultimate)?

I'm so disappointed with my WP. It was so much easier to unlock the iPhone. :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
clarification

Ok so i just got the Titan today. I previously had the HD7 and constantly flashed custom roms. This HSPL hack for the Titan is a bit confusing though. Can someone please dumb it down and explain step by step what needs to be done? Do i need a Y Cable and Gold Card? IS there video tutorial possibly?

Thanks in advance!

Can't believe, ur radar will be hspled after flash spl 2.05 instead of run hspl program.

A big Thank you.

I have succeed to flash my Orange (French) HTC Radar.

I must use goldcard mode because Vendor ID was not OK.

All went good.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] meteorain08:
My GoldCard? It's just a 2GB normal USB which was formatted into FAT32 :D

You can use this tool to create a GoldCard
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] meteorain08:
Yes, you have to download them in order to create a GoldCard

I have a brand new Titan II. I don't want any ROMs or anything of the sort. I simply tried to hard reset it using the key combo (vol down + camera + power) and now it's stuck at the "Enter USB Host Mode" screen. No amount of button combos/removing the back door/nothing works. It's just stuck there and I can't do anything.

Help?

Edit: figured it out. Did a reset again with the key combo, formatted the memory and now it's booting back up. Whew.

Data still doesn't work even after applying the HTC settings app (I'm on AT&T with a new LTE sim and the proper plan. Hmm).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Tachi91:
You try pressing and hold the Power Buttons for... 10-20 seconds

Forget it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ericshmerick:
Thanks for the reply. I figured it out before you posted.

This is an unlocked Titan II from eBay. The APN settings are a mystery. I'm on an official LTE plan with an LTE SIM (went to the store earlier). Data was not working at first, now it is, but it's dial-up speeds.

Anyone care to share the correct AT&T LTE APN settings for the Titan II? Googling yields all sorts of configurations (wap.cingular, AT&T HSPA+, etc). All are slow. Something's up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Tachi91:
Maybe AT&T's LTE sucks... Still this isn't the place for this. Look in the Titan General forum for a thread about it or start a new one.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

My AT&T Titan goes through all the steps fine. HSPL wizard says successful but when I boot into SPL I still don't have HSPL, reads SPL2.5....bummer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
I have access to two AT&T Titans. One worked, the other didn't. Cotulla is working on the issue already.

Read the whole thread, people.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
The trick with att titan is to debrand it first to euro rom 2.5 through goldcard. This only works for those starting from scratch which means from stock Cingular rom 1.10 Unfortunately, once you've flashed the dft spl 2.05 you will not be able to flash HSPL, downgrade spl nor install other rom except stock Cingular rom. I have debranded my att titan and i'm currently using Dynamic7 rom without any issue and with internet sharing activated, and also i can flash all the other available custom rom:)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
So I'm screwed... I'll wait patiently for a fix.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Phoenix Undone:
5 hours & multiple attempts later...

I have finally been able to update SPL, install HSPL, flash a ROM, and have it boot-up! :D

I have a Tmobile Radar(OMEGA). RUU wouldn't work to flash SPL 2.5(invalid vendor error), so I had to use Goldcard. After getting to 2.5 SPL, I used RUU to flash HSPL. Flashed a ROM without any problems, then got stuck on the RADIO over and over again(error-invalid vendor i think?).:confused:

Started over and used RUU to install the stock ROM-> goldcard-> RUU to HSPL-> then used TitanAdvancedRUU.exe to flashHD2O Dynamics7 v1.21

This seems to work because I didn't have to update my radio. I kept getting stuck there, without any apparent resolution(yet). I figured out some tricks along the way, and I'll try and help any other Radar folks who are having troubles even though I'm a supa-n00b. This was a lot more complicated than Android, but that's to be expected.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] noelito:
I was able to a flash a tmobile us radar too with gold card, i had realized after hours of failed attempts the phone must be in usb host mode in order for it to read the gold card on the other end of usb y cable and when i it first read the card it went back to bootloader

at that point, i ran dft second program to hspl it, then went back to the gold card where it completely read the card finished its processed and went back to the tmobile us rom but with hspl

it was then i had a problem with the radio of the dft custom rom

i spent about an hour going back from gold card to custom rom to installing the radio until i finally got it right

a big problem with the radar is the lack of removable battery, so although i held the buttons to get it to bootloader mode it would not stay in that mode and reset and froze but what i needed was bootloader mode in order to install radio and rom

it was by way of reconnecting to gold card did it read it once more got me back to boot loader mode where i installed the custom rom and did the same process for the radio
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] meteorain08:
Agree! The non-removable battery has a good life span, however in some case, for example, when I want to hang out with my friends and the battery is only 5% left, what can I do? If the battery is removable, I just simply replace it with another one and problem solved. Anyone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gnande:
Us att titan

This worked for my us att titan. Couldn't flash to radio 17, but this is no problem with this new ROM.

Try to debrand first like it says in this same thread
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
Maybe this should be added to the overall process? Had i known this I would have my phone HSPL'd with a custom rom running. Instead I'm waiting patiently for a fix that may not happen. Just trying to save others from going down a similar path....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
This isn't the problem. There's something else wrong. I followed the instructions on the front page to the letter, no debranding. Worked on one AT&T Titan, didn't work on the other.

In fact one of them was stuck on SPL 2.05, and I got it unstuck, can't do it again for the life of me (my second Titan is still stuck).

.... I have no idea where he got the idea debranding is the key. Debranded first and HSPL works, and you think that's the key? Well I washed my hands before doing HSPL, maybe THAT'S the answer :P

The random things you have done before a successful HSLP mean nothing if you've only HSPL'd successfully once on one device. That' just bad science sir
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
Thanks for the clarification. Ya I'm stuck on SPL 2.5, so odd that HSPL says success but still doesnt work. Oh well sounds like its being looked into.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
The idea of dbranding is purely from my experience with mt AT&T Titan which now is fully unlocked and enjoying custom roms. The premise of this is mainly due to the fact that if you read related threads regarding this topic majority of AT&T Titan are having issue in trying to install hspl and some even got their phone half bricked including your self I believe. So what I thought was that, to avoid this issue and knowing that this particular version of dft spl/hspl is fully compatible with euro version of Titan it's really no brainier but to try to debrand titian if I could, which I did, and true enough I avoided all these known issue with AT&T titan who managed to flah hspl and custom rom eg. Only able to flash custom rom with radio v16, no Internet sharing (non-AT&T carrier). BTW I started a thread for this in the general forum and there is another guy who unbranded his AT&T Titan. I think one of his post clearly summarises premise that debranding at this time might be the best option unti dft comes up with a fix -here's the link to his post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1713109 an link to my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693334

The other big hurdle is getting the gold card method to consistently work with 2nd gen htc phone and even to some htc gen 1 phones. I received few pms who are trying to debrand their phone but unfortunately they can't get the goldcard method to work and unable to flash euro rom. Anyway I am on the same boat as you, I wouldn't risk my phone of redoing the whole process as there is always an inherent risk of bricking the phone:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
Yes, I did have a half brick at one point, however that has nothing to do with the branding / debranding. The half brick was entirely because goldcard wasn't working, which was because very few USB devices work with the AT&T Titan.

Since goldcard wasn't working, I couldn't even flash the stock ROM. Whenever I attempted to flash via goldcard with a non-compatible USB device, the f400 error would appear, and stay. It was never able to flash anything.

Found a flash drive that works on both Titans, flashing via goldcard worked, removed the f400 error from both. Goldcard DOES work consistently, just seems that very few SD cards or usb devices do the trick for gen2. Out of the 50 microSD cards and USB flash drives I've tried, only the one works at all (and it works every time).

I really don't see what debranding would do. What does it even do? If all it does is change the model number... DFT's SPL does that too. The first page also tells AT&T owners to flash the EU Radio.

I understand you observed the forum, tried this and it did the trick.. but you still only tried once. Not conclusive enough. From what I've seen, more than half the posters with AT&T titan were able to flash once they got goldcard working, and I don't believe they de branded.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
@ link68759 - I'm completely making a wild assumption here, but what debranding does is to make it fully compatible with the dft spl/hspl. You are correct in saying that there are some who manage to flash their AT&T Titan with dft spl/hspl then custom rom but they seems also to be getting more bugs compared Euro Titan. Again you are right that it is not conclusive just doing it once but as I said I don't want to risk it not of with the issue of flashing euro rom to debrand but the gold card method that I'm worried about. Having said that Another user xconomicron have gone through the route of debranding his AT&T Titan and I believe this works well for him as well. Anyway I'm putting this out there as alternative method your choice:) and also not saying that I'm 100% correct on this matter, I suppose time will tell. Anyway I'm hoping that DFT will come out with the fixed and also way of flashing their spl/hspl to AT&T branded Titan without having to use gold card method.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
I just hope they come up with a fix for those stuck on 2.05 SPL, be it goldcard or not
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ej_424:
Ya goldcard works perfect on my AT&T titan but still no hspl. So debunk habnzrot's theory above
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
What do you mean? I believe you are stuck on dft 2.5 and unable to install hspl right, so what did u use the gold card for? Are u able to install euro rom 2.5? What I am saying is that debranding from stock Cingular 1.10 to euro version seems to be the best way to avoid known (compatibility) issue. Gold card method is completely a different issue in itself.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
Mine was stuck on SPL2.5 until I bought a new memory card reader. I used the same 1GB microsd card, but with a different reader. It worked fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
What did you use the gold card for? If you are already on dft spl2.5, couldn't you just proceed with the hspl wizard? Or did you reflash your phone with stock Cingular rom or flashed euro rom? I believe you're now running custom rom and about to come up with unlocked AT&T rom (I hope)?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] noelito:
my goldcard worked too

My phone read the card but didn't finish the process took me back to bootloader, I then ran the dft hspl program and it worked, then I went back to my gold card and finished the installation, checked the bootloader once more and it indeed said cotulla and hspl as well as the 2.05 this was on my friends t-mo us radar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
This just shows that there are seems to have few ways of installing hspl. In your case you were able to install hspl even though your gold card method flashing dft 2.05 hasn't complete? Did I read ur post correctly?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] noelito:
That's correct the gold card process for me did not complete initially, I ran dft hspl wizard and it hspl'd the radar, I then went back to gold card and completed the process
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] habnzrot:
Didn't you have att titan as well? Did u have same experience with gold card to flash dft spl and hspl? I believe u flashed ur titan directly with dft spl if so do have any issue eg only able to flash custom rom with radio v16, no Internet sharing, bugs?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] noelito:
I have a euro titan and directly spl with no gold card needed, I'm using nhathoa's custom rom and love it, I especially like the soft camera button on the camera app, I have internet sharing and am on the 16 radio, if anyone on here has an at&t titan and is in san Diego, I'd be happy to flash their phone with gold card as I finally understand the process :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
Where did you hear that there are more bugs for the AT&T version? First I'm hearing of this.... I have no issues.

BTW, even if you debrand, once you flash DFT's ROM, SPL and the radio you need for the ROM to boot, whatever debranding does has been effectively undone or overrwritten, so if there are bugs, it's at the hardware level and there is nothing debranding could do to fix this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] meteorain08:
Actually you missed some link I inserted :D

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
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
For some reason I couldn't get the HSPL on after getting the 2.5 to show up. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but I did those steps to get where I am now.

Yes, I cooked the stock AT&T rom (uploaded by football) with Ultrashots full unlock. He had a two week waiting period which I believe is now over. I didn't realize there was some demand for this. I have two versions:

-stock AT&T rom untouched with full unlock

-stock AT&T rom updated to Tango 8773 with full unlock

If I get some time this evening, I will upload and post them.

HSPL and Dynamic V1.21 Rom Works for me on ATT Branded Titan - How I did it

Well after reading everything twice and overcoming one initial glitch here's how I did it.

1) I started with an ATT branded phone that I had previously force upgraded to Mango AND upgraded to SPL v2.6 with the download on HTC's site

Of course, like others with an ATT titan, I could not flash cotella's spl or hspl direct so I tried using the gold card method. I had a y cable and I bought a 1gb sandisk cruzer thanks to someone's advice here. Creating the gold card was a snap but getting the SPL to take didn't work. So I went to step 2 based on someone else's advice here:

Step 2) I reflashed the stock Cingular v1.0 rom. It flashed perfectly. I did a factory reset and then went back into USB mode and tried the gold card method to flash Cotella's SPL. It flashed quickly and perfectly this time via gold card!

I then booted into SPL mode and it showed SPL 2.05 rather than the SPL 2.6 I had. So I tethered the phone while still in spl mode to the computer and ran Cotella's DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe which quickly and easily gave me HSPL.

I then installed v1.21 of Ultrashot's Dynamic rom without a hitch. I just booted into it a second ago so I have yet to explore it. I will be donating to all as this is a long awaited hack!

What I did was downgrade to the original v1.0 cingular rom to get this gold card thing to work on my ATT Titan. I don't know if it will work for yours but I am a happy XDA camper now. Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] the_passenger:
I got the same screen and tried exactly what you posted. Once HSPL has completed the installation successfully, phone reboots. Go back to SPL screen and it shows the same thing as the posted picture, like nothing has happened.

btw, I have ATT TITAN.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iamwin:
my titan have these info:

PI39110

SPL-2.1.160015.3(133962)

Radio-16.23.03.17

Firmware revision number: 1600.2200.20104.401

Hardware revision number: 0002

Radio hardware version: 2.122.0D4

can I do hspl on my device given these info? In gen1 devices, i believe that there was an issue that you cannot do HSPL unless you downgrade bootloader. Does that hold true also with the Titan and other Gen2 devices?

I still have to downgrade my bootloader from 2.1.1.16xx to 2.05.xx right? or my version is sufficient for hspl already?
