Ok, half bricked it while trying to update SPL to 2.05 with goldcard...

I understand that a half brick is when you hold both volume buttons down on boot and neither serial nor usb show up in the spl screen. Between this and my inability to flash the SPL 2.05 (gets stuck at "Loading..." and takes several minutes to even get past "Load USB Host". I've left it at "Loading..." for an hour, no progess...)... I'm stuck and need help.

When I hold the volume down button at boot and connect to Zune, I get this error: c101002e

I've read that this can be solved with the windows phone support tools... but MS's page also says not to use this on versions higher than 7.0.7something. Unfortunately I forced the update to 8107, so I don't want to find out what happens when you ignore the warning.

Basically everything is stock ATT except the forced update;

Radio:16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23U

SPL 1.10

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help

Update 1;

Tried to flash the SPL2.6 update from HTC using goldcard, no dice, gets stuck at "Loading..."

Tried to flash the Eternity cingular stock rom, once again, stuck at "Loading..."

I think I'm beginning to see a pattern; USB host works as far as reading the SD card, but beyond that it fails...

Update 2;

I wonder if I can reapply the firmware through cab sender? I would need firmware cabs for the htc titan, preferably ones that are compatible with the new hspl! I can't find any, been searching for hours...
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Was the HSPL process successfully completed? Have you tried to put the phone back into USB com mode (camera + vol down + power) and putting the OSPL back on?

You're the first I've heard having this problem. Since you're using the Gold Card Method, I assume that your phone is a US AT&T Titan.

I hope you get it going.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Not sure if you visited this page or not, but here are the instructions for flashing the HSPL. Further down the 1st post you'll find how to un-install it. I would try that since it doesn't sound as if your flash was successful.

Here is the link to the actual gold card method, if you haven't seen that as well.
[HTC Titan] link68759:
No, didn't even get to HSPL. The instructions say to flash SPL 2.05 first, which isn't working. I'm stuck on the stock 1.10 SPL.

No matter what I try, any combination of flashing the original stock ROM, the HTC SPL update, etc, goldcard always gets stuck at "Loading..." so I think it's safe to say goldcard is broken as well, unless someone knows a foolproof fix.

Camera + Volume Down + Power... I assume you mean USB Host mode which is just Camera + Volume Down at bootup (holding the power button causes the phone to reboot). USB Host mode is how you use gold card, and like I said, it gets stuck at "Loading...". It does in fact read my SD cards because I saw the blinking LED that signals activity on one of the USB to microSD readers I tried.

Moreover there is nothing to uninstall since I am unable to install anything. I can use the WP7 cab sender, if I could just get the bootloader in cab form I think this would solve my problems; I think the stock SPL became corrupted somehow and needs to be reflashed... and I do not know anything about JTAG
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
When you made your Gold Card, did it say success or give you a problem?

Are you using a multi card reader or a single card reader for your gold card?
[HTC Titan] link68759:
it says success.

I've tried two microSD cards, and three different card readers. I have gotten the CID for each card and properly applied the CID to each card, and properly formatted each in fat32 several times...

I've tried using the HD2 in Magldr usb mass storage mode, HD2 in android mass storage mode, HD2 in windows mobile mass storage mode... they all appear to work as it gets as far as "Loading..."

Moreover I have a single card reader and a multi card reader.. each making no difference; stuck at "Loading..."

I have tried a hundred different combinations which all appear to be successful if not for the fact that I'm pretty sure my SPL is corrupted.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Wow, that really sucks! Sorry I can't help. I haven't even done it myself yet. My y-cable will be here hopefully Friday.

The only other thing I would make sure of if I were in your situation is looking at the pics in gold card method post, I see that the gold card is to be placed in the female end at the bottom of the Y. You never said whether you made your own cables or not, but if you did, maybe make certain that it is correctly done.

Damn, while I'm sorry for your situation, I sure hope that I'm not right there with ya when I attempt it. Keep us up-to-date and good luck.
[HTC Titan] link68759:
Yeah I bought a new Titan off ebay already XD

However before I open it I'm going to see if I can convince HTC that it was pre existing (it probably was) and that I found out while I was trying to do the official SPL update from HTC using the tool on HTC's site (which is more or less true as well XD). I think I'm still under warranty.

And I was using this Y cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JIOHDE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

It works, I've tried it in various setups. It's actually really nice; the grey cable doesn't carry data so you can use your computer or laptop for power without worry. But I did in fact use a wall USB charger for goldcard, just in case.

But don't worry, I'm almost sure that this was pre existing; gold card/USB host mode behaved exactly the same from the start, the only thing that has changed is the fact that I can't get Serial / USB connections to show up in SPL anymore (nor can I hard reset from SPL). It worked correctly at least twice...
[HTC Titan] link68759:
hey everyone, I fixed it.

USB host mode / gold card works; if you're stuck at "Loading" then your SD card is no good. I went around and tried every mass storage device in my house and found one that works, use the generic goldcard image from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24809318#post24809318

To get rid of f400 error you need to flash cotulla's ROM, the cingular stock rom did not fix it.

Goldcard SPL up to 2.05, USB worked.

Install HSPL via USB, if that doesn't work, install the stock ROM via USB and start over.

Once HSPL'd at 2.05 USB will NOT work, so you'll need to goldcard cotulla's ROM (remember to rename it from FINAL.nbh to ETERIMG.nbh)

profit.
[HTC Titan] spyros_tazz:
Hi, I'm stuck with f400, running official eu rom with spl 2.5 . no HSPL , no downgrade , no nothing...

Which cotulla's rom are you reffering to?

Please help. (ATT HTC Titan)
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
It's been months since anybody has posted on this thread. There are two ROMs that set this process up. Depending on whether you have the x310a (American brand) or x310e (European). When this process is all said and done it reads x310e regardless where it came from. There is a Cingular 1.09 and an European 1.10...the key here is to downgrade the SPL from 2.05 to 1.09/1.10. Some Titans have lower SPLs depending where you're at. HTC's SPL update to 2.6 complicates this process. Think of as 3 major steps...one, downgrade to one of these ROMs, two, return to SPL205 via Goldcard and then apply DFT's HSPL. Step 2 took me forever to get right and the process is sneaky long...you think you failed but patience will be rewarded. There has been quite a lot of discussion in regards to "newer" Titan (Eternity) which the internal drive is set up in such a way that one is lead to believe it is corrupted or they've been setup like the Titan II (Radiant) which to date remains impossible to HSPL. You're better off using one of the older Titans (Eternity). A few of the links no longer get you the files you need and if they do I would encourage you to download everything that is there and read every tutorial carefully and then again; this isn't for the faint of heart. It's way, way harder than the HD2 or older HTC devices. Nor am I aware any device since the Eternities is HSPL capable other than maybe the Nokia Lumia 920 Developer Edition.
[HTC Titan] spyros_tazz:
i managed to downgrade to official att rom,and got rid of f400 error, but the spl didn't downgrade...

I installed the rom 3 times with no luck with the spl...

Afterwards i renamed the eu rom from ETERNIMG to ETERDIAG and it installed.

but still the spl is :

PI39100 MFG

SPL-2.5.160015.3(137079)

eMMC SND 15188MB

TOUCH A1(F:81, ID:1,V11,B:F8)

Radio-16.23.02.09_A

I tried to install spl2.05 again (I don't remember but I think it failed), then spl2.6 with no luck, then hspl without results...

Finally I upgraded to 7.8 via cab installer and thats the best I managed to accomplish...

So I can't install any spl or hspl...

when I bought the device ,it had spl 1.09, not 2.6, so I think it's possible to hspl...

Yes, I have a great idea. Let's have antennas put in the case of the phone, so we have to use crappy little leaf-spring type connectors just to have a connection to the phone. Then, to make it even better, let's have the case made of polycarbonate so it can bend. And to help with even better design, let's make the connectors so thin and crappy that bending them at all stresses them enough to make it not spring back up, and then trying to bend it back will likely snap the connectors. Because we need ideal antenna design, never mind the fact that an antenna is useless when it can't connect to the modem that needs it.

HTC has pulled this idiocy before, it happened with the Desire HD's GPS, it happened with the Sensation's WiFi and touch screen, now it's happening again. It is beyond me why they insist on doing this when Samsung is getting by perfectly fine by just having the antennas sit beneath the case. What happened to plastic being RF transparent? This is probably one of the few things that really riles me up about HTC, simply because they never seem to realize why the Galaxy S2 and S3 are more popular. When they can't even get basic antennas right, how do they expect people to be repeat customers?

EDIT: No, this doesn't affect the phone when everything is fine, but this can be part of the reason why there are wifi issues/general reception problems.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, but it is probably just you or a software problem. I have played with many H1X's, including 2 of which are my own, and never had the problem you described. Perhaps you have a defective unit?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
I don't own an H1X, I have a Desire HD but frequent multiple device forums.

Yes, you may not have a problem, but this design makes it incredibly easy to break Wifi/BT, and any other antennas that are connected to the phone in this manner.

Yes, if the connection breaks, it is a defective unit. My problem is that if you squeeze the back case often enough or have the phone overheat (likely if you have the Tegra 3 variant and use it as an in car GPS) then you will destroy the connection. Designs where the antennas are not in the case will never have this happen unless you somehow physically melt the connection between the antenna and motherboard or it is torn off, both are incredibly unlikely to happen.

It doesn't matter whether your phone has this issue, it is likely to happen and HTC needs to be pressured into changing their designs so this issue never crops up again.

The s2 and 3 are more popular not because of any of the reason you have stated.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] masondoctorjt:
There is no problem with the connectors, and as far as I can tell, touchscreen problems only exist when swapping batteries, and continuously chatting then in the phone. If you use an external charger and swap batteries, there is no problem. So its not the connector, but static buildup from continuously charging dead batteries. Yes it is a problembut goes away when using the phone as intended(charging just one battery per charge cycle).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
The problem was the fact that the touchscreen grounding was on a spring that was supposed to touch the phone, and over time if you removed the back cover often enough it would start losing contact.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
From the tear down pics there isn't much thats not built right onto the mobo. I have used many android phones, and really enjor the One X, I just think a lot of people don't give the device a chance. I mean I have had a few software issues, but nothing that makes me want to return the phone, it will all get fixed in time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
The problem is with the antenna connectors. I would not be so concerned if there was a ribbon cable or something that connected antennas to the motherboard, but I know that the type of design that they use is very easily broken.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PhantasmRezound:
Most every HTC phone nowadays has that antenna design; my Rezound also use spring connectors to the seperate backplate antennas. I have pits in my antennas from use, but no significant signal loss thanks to the rigid case design keeping the connections solid.

The relatively flexible case of the HOX really could interfere and needs a different connection method. The battery is non-removable, yet they just stuck with what they knew how to do anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Probably because it's a working, effective design that has been implemented in almost every phone they make. No reason to change it. What's the term... "tried and true".

My old HTC Aria had the most flexible back cover ever, and the connection was fine after over 2 years of non stop service. I'm sure this phone won't have any issues, especially considering it is a unibody design.

I wish an "engineering" team built the one x, but they used a new "design" team because they wanted it to be stylish. Ponderous. Why worry about the back/shape of a phone when the majority puts it in a case and will never see or feel the back. Build quality should be the driving force, not design. Antennas should be HARD WIRED, period. All these pogo or spring style connectors have issues. I work with point to point wireless links and any connector has loss. 1db loss on a good connector. Spring and pogo are a bad idea and definitely causing too much loss.

I have an Inspire and TFPrime. Two big offenders. I have cleaned and retensioned all three on the inspire and it helped for about 3 mos, but GPS is getting flaky again. Going to HARD WIRE GPS antenna and be done with it. Basically what HTC should have done from the start.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
Agreed. My jetstream had the same issue. Definitely hardware. Opening the thing up and putting it back together was enough to solve it... for now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
I can agree with the connectivity issue / using better connector design, but to suggest that the majority puts it in a case and doesn't care about design just because you don't care about the design or maybe even the majority of XDA users don't care, is very biased and close minded.

If you look around, you might notice that as phone design improves, people are going more and more without a case, and instead opting for screen protectors and phone bumpers (in the case of the iphone), or going completely naked.

I'm not suggesting that there aren't still a ton of people that use cases, but certainly the number of people that don't is steadily increasing.

More importantly, though... does it really perplex you as to why HTC might want their phone to look stylish, even if it is at the expense of some engineering flaws that affect the overwhelming minority?

I can't believe this was bumped, but anyways...

As long as the areas where the antenna connects to the motherboard have sufficient strength to stay in position, it shouldn't be a problem. If it is, it is possible for people to open up their phone and put some plastic spacers that prop up the case, and very carefully bend up the connectors back into their original position. That should completely resolve any issues with signal drop.

The One X's antennas are very strong and give very good reception, but I hope they implement some kind of casing or design to ensure that the antenna doesn't lose contact with the motherboard.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Probably accidentally crushed the connectors down. They are sitting right beneath the casing, and any deformation of the polycarbonate case risks making the motherboard unable to stay in contact with the antennas in the case.

HTC's antenna designs are made so that they work great when there is nothing wrong with it, but signal reception falls off a cliff when they connection is broken. Unsurprisingly, a radio that has no connection to an antenna doesn't work very well.
