Just bought a second hand Titan in Hongkong which was preinstalled with Tango and Bootloader: 4.6.175006.2(140733). I have managed to HardSPL it, by doing as follows:

1. Downgrade the ROM & Bootloader to European Titan ROM with Gold card

2. Flash SPL via Gold card

3. HardSPL

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SJ@XDA-IIs:
I've successfully HardSPL mine (Hongkong Titan) with the same SPL like yours. The key is to debrand it to European Eternity. All the guideline, Tools, European Eternity ROM links are posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744253

Just follow it. It's for AT&T, you just need to debrand directly to European Eternity ROM, then the SPL and HardSPL.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
I don't know why I keep bothering to say this: debranding does nothing. It cannot do anything- it doesn't affect SPL at all. Every time I bring this up, someone tells their success story or say "it doesn't hurt to try". I've succeeded without debranding. Many have failed with debranding. How the rather ignorant idea that this could have an impact is being perpetuated on these developer, phone specialist(!) forums is beyond me.

I think ur right link i think that u only need to flash 2.05 spl via goldcard and roll, i think that debranding thing actually semi bricked a lot of at&t phone the thing is i discovered that CID have gone wild, that can be due to putting official European eternity ROM and running it on an at&t machine, i am studyng mechatronics so i know a bit about electronics and programing, i think anyone who wants the custom rom should just try to flash the 2.05 spl or eventually the cingular stock rom, and i belive there should not be any problem
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
Well, no, my point is that debranding has no effect at all. If it could brick the phone, that's clearly having and effect. The NAND is separate from the booloader- it does not matter what you flash to NAND. Debranding has NO EFFECT on the bootloader (aka SPL).

Well I managed to get another Titan, and I spent all day trying to get HSPL on it. No luck- stuck on SPL 2.5. Strangely I couldn't flash over SPL 2.5, and I tried to debrand for ****s and giggles, but I couldn't do that either. I'll keep at it and report back if I have any breakthrough, but don't get your hopes up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nikola92:
No words form devepoers yet, a?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SJ@XDA-IIs:
It really depends on the SPL of your device as well as the CID. Some require Gold Card, Some require SPL Downgrade, Some require both (or none).

I believe all shipped ROM includes SPL, Radio, Splash Screen as well as the main ROM. When you debrand your phone with shipped ROM, the SPL is changed. I managed to downgrade my SPL by doing so. In my case, my device was pre-installed with SPL-4.6.175006.2 (140733) and I couldn't overwrite it with 2.05 SPL. After debranding, the SPL was downgraded to 1.9, then I was able to flash 2.05 SPL and HardSPL.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] link68759:
Mmm, so it's a misunderstanding. The ROM nbh contains the SPL nbh. I suspect that if the SPL were extracted from the original nbh, you could flash that. Would be better, wouldn't have to deal with a 400MB file (SPL is significantly smaller and faster to flash). But yeah, the prevailing idea as it was created and in the debranding thread is that "it's your AT&T ROM!" Not really.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] the_passenger:
but if you have ATT branded phone and have already run the tool when it was first released, then you're stuck on that 2.05 (2.5) MFG and no way to get out. I can debrand by flashing the European NHB and the phone's displaying x310e but that damn SPL is still 2.5 no matter how many time I flash "IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.02_Radio_16.23.02.09_A_16.24.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE" using the gold card method.

Weird thing is if I flash the "IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE" then I'll get an error "Update Terminate. UPDATE FAIL. Error code: 39. Incorrect Sign. And I thought going through Gold card method we don't have to worry about that. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gm_vel:
Follow below links:

1. http://htcfanboys.com/download/nhathoa/?action=browse&folder=4500

in that page you will find 4 ROM links. You need to download the second and third one (ie. Release_Titan_8835_7.8_WWE_Radio1623_only_20Sep.rar & Release_Titan_8779_RADIO1623_V3_17Langs.rar)

Then you update this ROM in your mobile it will work.. :)

Have a great sunday!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] berrywr:
I beg to differ.I completely understand the frustration of those who own the Titan I and for whatever reason nothing works, which might explain all the warnings and the real risk you may brick your phone. I don't care how new an individual is or isn't; what I care about is one how on one level the work done here is second to none and two, how there are just enough of you who fail miserably at passing this knowledge to others in a "teachable" way a "newbie" can interpret. I have spent the past two days reading every thread in regards to HSPL my Titan; some say downgrade, others ask why is that necessary given where in the process the SPL is and isn't, to what end of the Y-cable to plug into power, to whether you need a 1GB, 2GB, 4GB microSD to PNY USB thumb drives, a single or multi-card reader, etc. etc. etc. Finally, there is the language barrier for some, so for the most part, patience is most certainly required.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nikola92:
I said truth, I am not newbie you can see the phones i had and have since when i am member I am not frustrated, my titan works, its not end of world if i cant put custom ROM on it, I am bit disapointed in way how detials about Flashing and al that stuff are inrelevant and incorrect in some way, every other phone i owned and fixed i managed to root, hack, jailbreak, unlock etc... There is no words from developer why there is at&t titan bug, will there be update. Just yes or no. It would be nice, I say again its not end of wrold if my titan cant run custom ROM I dont need it so hard at the moment so ofc it is exelent if i could flash my titan but u cant go vs destiny :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] berrywr:
All valid and excellent points! You may have noticed I re-edited my post. There are really good people here; excellent people who do tireless work, but it's difficult to point a finger at them because you have no idea how they will react to constructive often perceived negative criticism. Teachers they are not. I spent two days reading threads from one end of the rainbow to the other with ideas from end of the spectrum to the other. In the end, I contacted some via PM about a Titan he sold to me that he unlocked and from what I read of his posts, his way was entirely different than the prevailing wind. Merry Christmas!

I got my wife's HTC Titan debranded and HSPL'd earlier today; that said, it's now my device stuck on SPL2.5. The Cingular 1.10 ROM did the trick; the irony is it does the 1.10 update via USB mode and Y-cable but the SPL remains 2.5.

Same thing spl remains but ROM flashes

HSPL does NOT work through Windows XP

This doesn't work at all through XP. When running the 2_HSPL DFT utility, it simply says:

[Error Description]:

command #2 failed

[Info]: USBWorkHSPL.cpp (307)

People have had success under windows 7, but since I dont run that, why is this advertised with XP compatibility using A/S drivers?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] berrywr:
Though my device is being the pain of my existence; I have Windows 8 Pro and it unlocked my wife's device a few days ago with no problems; I've had no problems flashing my device with gold card; it's the damn SPL that's stubborn and won't downgrade or upgrade..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] berrywr:
I promise you folks I will update my experience after I get some sleep...I got my device HSPL'd after a lot of patience and trial and error; I can tell you the SPL on my device was stuck on 2.5 but what I did was extract the NBH from DFT's SPL205 renamed it ETERDIAG (this makes a huge difference) and sat and patiently waited and waited and waited for the program to flash on Titan after it rebooted it via gold card...I will go into detail later...NuttyBuddy; thank you sir, for the help; much appreciated; WHEW!!!! got my baby back!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] the_passenger:
Is that the ETERIMG.nbh inside the 1_SPL205\TITAN\ folder with the size of 23.9 MB (25,116,647 bytes)? How many time did you have to flash it with the new name? Because that's what I was trying to do before, it flashed successful but then when I try to do the 2nd step to get hardSPL it didn't do anything.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] silentP:
Also posted in the Titan General Forum. Brought it here for maximum exposure...

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. 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.

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.

EDIT: Just reflashed HSPL and custom ROM. I'm good-to-hook again.

Hi

If "0. Try to install right SPL with RUU" Works...

do I need to reset the phone?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Congrats Cotulla and DFT!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
The main idea that u need to install a special SPL version to your device.

It doesn't matter how really, I just wrote a two ways.

And you need to run HSPL Wizard with device in SPL screen.

Remember that u can lost your data (hard reset) during that operations. Or may need to flash a new rom.

Titan II was released to late actually. As well other issues like we don't have any Titan II in our hands at the current time :(

In future we should add a support for it, but I can't promise any ETAs :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pdangcil:
Received an "invalid vendor id"... am i SOL???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
yes, you need GoldCard and cable for HSPL :(

Actually it can be flashed via RUU to only Europe devices seems.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
These are the steps to flash the Custom Rom on the HTC Titan.

Mine is an European Unlocked HTC Titan.

You need to download :

1) DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar

2) DFT Eternity 24 langs Freedom V1 Pearl Edition.7z

3) RUU_ETERNITY_Radio_Signed_17.5006.08.27_17.08.50.06.7z

To enter in SPL mode you have to press BOTH volume up and volume down while you turn on your device using the power button.

In SPL mode you will see a white screen with some informations like the version of the bootloader and the version of the radio driver. At the bottom of the SPL mode screen you will read something like "USB" and "IMAGE CRC" and "FACTORY RESET".

Steps :

1) Turn off your HTC Titan.

2) Turn on your HTC Titan while pressing BOTH volume up and volume down. You will enter SPL mode by doing so.

3) Unrar the compressed file DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar

4) Go into DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\1_SPL205\TITAN\ inside the directory where you extracted the file DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar

5) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

6) Wait till the precedure finish to install SPL (0% -> 100%)

7) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.

8) Enter SPL mode, or turn the device off and enter SPL mode again if you didn't make it in time.

9) Go into DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1\2_HSPL\

10) Run SFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe

11) Install HSPL following the istructions on screen.

12) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.

13) Enter SPL mode, or turn the device off and enter SPL mode again if you didn't make it in time.

14) This time you should be able to read HSPL2.5.160015.3 and CotullaH at the top of the SPL screen

15) Unrar the compressed file DFT Eternity 24 langs Freedom V1 Pearl Edition.7z

16) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

17) Wait till the precedure finish to install the custom rom (0% -> 100% , it will be slower this time)

18) At the end of the procedure the device will reboot.

If now you are stuck on HTC screen (WP doesn't start up) you need to upgrade the radio driver :

19) Enter SPL mode, or turn the device off and enter SPL mode again if you didn't make it in time.

20) Unrar the compressed file RUU_ETERNITY_Radio_Signed_17.5006.08.27_17.08.50.06.7z

21) Start ROMUpdateUtility.exe

22) If you enter SPL mode one last time you should be able to see the updated radio driver version.

That's what I did to make it work on my Unlocked European HTC Titan.

EDIT : Instead of using "DFT Eternity 24 langs Freedom V1 Pearl Edition.7z" you can use any other ROM ... for example ultrashot Dynamics7 v2.0 WP7.8

I can read 3G on my device and it turns quickly to H after I unlock the screen.

I can't really tell if this is a problem or not ...

EDIT : I guess this proves I don't have such problem with the updated radio driver.

You be sure to have the correct settings and APN for your connection under phone settings ...

And OLD version of HTC Connection Setup is installed with the Custom Rom, you should check if the settings are correct.

Via gold card u flash spl 2.05 that is in HSPL zip, you have two folders, SPL and HSPL, go to SPL\TITAN then take ETERIMG.nbh and copy it to goldcard, flash it after that you should have in bootloader instead of 1.09 2.5 and then run HSPL wizard and you are ready to flash custom ROM :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dewars14:
Ok. After much trying, I have not managed to jailbreak my htc radar 4g (t-mobile).

Not quite how, but I have come to the following situation. Right now, I have the phone with the original ROM installed. This version

Omega TMOUS 1.08.531.02

Model: Radar 4G

Software: Windows Phone 7.5

OS version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision number: 1600.2200.10802.531

Radio software version: 16.23.02.09_2_16.24.00.23U

Bootloader version: 1.8.160015.3

So I do not know what to do now. I do not suppose I have to downgrade to anything because my SPL version is less than what is needed. So, what is the next step I have to give? In a previous post, on page 26, says anhthai SPL would have to install 2.5 with goldcard. But I have doubts, because my phone is American version and from what I've seen the European version 2.05 is SPL.

There is a European rom that has the same bootloader, radio and SPL that I have. We recommend using this rom by RUU and then upgrade to SPL 2.05.

I have also tried to update the radio to version 17.5006, but I've never been able to. RUU always returns error.

I know that if I connect the phone to zune be updated and should be able to downgrade from SPL 2.34 to SPL 2.05, but I've never gotten that worked, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Any idea?

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Ok. I've risked and tried with goldcard SPL 5.2. For the first time I've gone from the USB Host Mode screen. After a while Loading ... has returned to the main screen of the bootloader and everything has remained exactly the same. No F400, not SPL 2.05.
