The actual file size is 24.528 mb and I edited my post for the correct size. In step 2 of the process, you delete the Cingular 1.10 or European 1.09 ROM and replace it with DFT's SPL2.05 .nbh file. When you download DFT__HSPL_WP7SG1.rar and extract the file you will have two folders - one will be "SPL205" and the other "HSPL". Open "SPL205" and right click and extract the contents of this application. It will look like a garden variety setup for RUU flashing via bootloader. You can try RUU but I received an invalid model id error when I did that. You will see there is a .nbh file; it's 24,528 kb or 24.528 mb in size. I changed the name of the .nbh file to ETERDIAG...not ETERIMG; copied the file to my thumb drive (Gold Card), reset my device to Entering USB Host Mode and plugged by Y-cable into the device. It immediately rebooted and re-entered USB Host Mode and sat at that screen for a solid 10 minutes. I didn't tough anything. I was editing a post conveying to NuttyBuddy who sent me a reply in regards to changing the file from ETERIMG to ETERDIAG when the device came to life and loaded the file; I looked down and I had "OK" next to my radio and the bootloader and that's it and with the words Update Successful Update Complete. I restarted the device into Bootloader Mode, pulled up Zune on my computer, plugged my device to the computer waited for it to read "USB" at the bottom, pulled up DFT's HSPL; right click as the administrator, selected 2.05 HSPL and less than three seconds later it rebooted with HSPL2.5.160015.3 and CotullaH. Proceeded to load Eburon's custom Windows Phone 7.8.8858 ROM with original icons, next flashed the "17" radio, next restarted the phone and my "baby" was back. I hope I do not have to do this again...at least not with mine or my wife's device; one I can afford to mess up is one thing; my everyday device; no. That said, I learned a lot from the experience but I wanted to pass along; you're not dead if the SPL does not downgrade, but...but...you do have to install the ROM that will get your device to read "x310e" no ifs, ands, or but. You're dead if your device reads "P139100". Well not dead or bricked but you're not HSPL'd. I will over the next few days put together a "plain language" of all of this and get it posted. From time to time, I will edit my post for any corrections as I'm made aware of them; I am not a developer or any of the wonderful experts here at XDA; I'm a 53 year old ex-military weather forecaster who has returned to college to get his degree in math education. As I told someone here a moment ago; I learned a lot, but these folks aren't kidding when they tell you to read; I spent a lot of time doing just that; reading.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
as i said in another post, i admire u, i read a lot but i didnt had nervs to experiment nor much time, i will try, the problem is i get ejected from USB host Mode screen whenever i try to flash somethnig exept cingular ROM...
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
As long as you have a SPL; you're good...no matter what your SPL is...1.09, 1.10, 2.5 you have to install one of those ROMs and then pray with whatever memory card floats your boat and gives your device it's "may the force be with you" theme and kick it beyond "Entering USB Host Mode..." I had originally gave my device up for dead and then it came to life and loaded DFT's .nbh in my step 2 of joy, fun and jollies tour. I about peed in my drawers when I saw "Radio - OK" and "Bootloader - OK" and "Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED". You're sitting there and sitting there and not even Saints have this much patience. I did learn you can kiss HSPL goodbye you either accidentally or deliberately put a stock ROM back on your device; it hit me I had to do that with my stepson's HD2 two years ago when he touchscreen froze...a common issue with the HD2 and I had to reset the damn thing back to OSPL. I know it's frustrating...it took me four days of literally staying up all night..the only part of my day I would not be interrupted and disturbed.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
U are KING this metod is working 100% for at&t HTC Titan I, again my great respect to you :)))

Well bump i got this: update terminate update fail error code 39 incorrect signature :(
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
Nikola,

Flash HSPL nbh file again and then flash one of those1.09 or 1.10 nbh.

I still can't get HSPL no matter what I do. :(
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
No! When you download DFT's HSPL there are two folders representing the Omega and the other, the Titan; open the Titan Folder and once again there are two folders; SPL205 and DFT HSPL. You are not to flash the DFT HSPL until you have successfully flashed the .NBH within the SPL205 folder and do so via Gold Card. The DFT HSPL is flashed via Bootloader with Zune running. SPL205 is Step 2 of 3; DFT HSPL is Step 3 of 3. Step 1 of 3 is whichever of the Eternity European 1.09 or Cingular 1.10 ROM flashes and completes it's journey with "Update Successful, UPDATE COMPLETED". Your primary goal with step 1 is for you to read "HTC Titan x310e" not "HTC Titan 139100". Forget about the SPL reading 1.09 or 1.10 or 2.5.160015.3; it has to be "x310e" for the debrand to be successful. Steps 2 and 3 are mute without "x310e". This step is really, really important!
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
but i get the error 39 update terminated if i write ETERDIAG on european and cingular rom, when i put ETERIMG i get tossed out USB host mode on European rom and on cingular same error, and i was bricked, but via USB cable and pc i flashed cingular right now, so i will try again later mybe error 39 is in connection, i might need new gold card

EDIT: managed to flash everything as said but PI39100 remains and touch too no cotulla , what could be wrong, when i boot in ROM in about says htc titan x310e...
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
Ok I am back on horse, i found my Scandisk 8 Gb pen drive and it started flashing Cingular ROM and its done, I wil now try to flash european rom as ETERDIAG, notice that with previous micro sd - card reader combination i only managed to get the proces to half or start and then get error 39 Update terminated on both eu ad us rom in both version eterdiag/eterimg, so THE USB DEVICE/CARD READER is essential for this, so far i had few casses, nota starting at all(all in 1 reader), start but fail(the micro sd card reader and micro sd 1 Gb nokia card), and full flass(Scandisk 8 Gb and PQI 1 Gb flash drives)
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
No!, It is not ETERDIAN; it is ETERDIAG (nothing more). It will be the same filename when you flash the SPL205 nbh.
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
What I know of an error 39 is related to USB hosting. Where are you in regards to flashing your device when the error occurs; USB Host Mode or Bootloader? You need Zune running if you're flashing through your computer; I have Windows 8 Professional installed on the laptop I used to flash both my Titans. I have Zune setup on all three of my HTC devices - 2 Titan I (Eternity) and 1 HD2 (Leo). I've had no problems whatsoever with my computer interfacing with my devices to date. I'm unclear as to what your device is; is it P139100 or x310e?
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I know i just misspeled, u say if i get kicked out usb host mode to bootloader its up to usb flash drive? But explain this if i write ETERDIAG on european rom he flashes correctly and it remains PI39100 in bootloader but in about changes to x310e, if i put ETERIMG on european it kick me out, Cingular rom flash anyway eterdiag or eterimg, can u explaim more in detail how u got the x310e in bootloader, what rom u had, what u flashed first, second, and what names u used, i did like u wrote, i guess, but no sucsses
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
It's PI39100 as in Papa-India-Three-Nine-One-Zero-Zero. Correct me if I'm wrong but you're in Serbia; yes, and if so your Titan device is the European model number x310e and not x310a, yes? My device's model number is a x310a. I sent a thread out asking if our originating model numbers might be part of the problem; that is you're beginning with a European Titan and I, living in the US, an American device; I'm curious as to whether the ROM downgrade is opposite depending on what hardware device you're starting with. You also brought up an interesting question about unlock codes. From my perspective, the procedure to unlock your devices may require a few extra steps than us over here in the states upon putting in a different carrier SIM card and punching in a subsidy unlock code and thus we can use our device with someone else other than AT&T. I always assumed the European Titan was debranded and while necessarily not HSPL; it's good to go in regards to skipping steps 1 and 2 and go immediately to HSPL...I simply don't have that answer. Our goal over here is to remove the AT&T crap...debrand if you will; but what if your device is already debranded because of where you're from and where you may have bought it? But I'm checking on that...learning... To answer your question ETERIMG kicked me out of USB Host Mode everytime; it was only when NuttyBuddy suggested change the filename I struck gold and I changed from using a microSD card that was driving me nuts to a thumb drive.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I have at&t Titan I i got it from a friend who bought it in Washington D.C. , zune recognize the phone as x310e now when i debranded it but bootloader refuses to, i get notificiations that i have updates, i can install those updates, but in the end i get the update for which i need 2,6 SPL, never mind that, but one more thing when i want to flash an european ROM now via USB cable or the SPL 2,6 i get invalid vendor error(invlaid CID), thats because it pulls out information from bootloader, its hard with Windows phones, in android u simply erease NAND and replace all, but i dont belive that we can erease whole NAND here and place a diferent bootloader, one diference i know when it comes to at&t and EU titan is the iternal memory, 16 Gb at&t, 8 Gb EU
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
Hey are ytou jocking with us ? ???

I'm really sorry but I'm nervous about this phone lockedexcuse me

MOD EDIT: I understand we have language and cultural differences, but please read more thoroughly and lose the attitude before posting questions like this. The person you are replying to did not write the guide and appears to be very serious in trying to be helpful to other members here.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
Learn to read, mybe ur drunk, man said his device is x310a as all at&t titans, he debranded and then it became x310e i managed to that but restof proces isnt working for me, so read all and then spam!
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
Pardon me i'm waiting solution if possible thanks
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
Yes .. i know
[HTC Titan] pbp8ntballer:
Fixed :) Easier for people to read.
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
Little problem with my titan

Same for me please let me know if you are successful in putting hspl and if you have tips for me thanks
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
THIS is a REAL GOOD Guide thanks pbp8ntballer

The one thing for some, They my have to rename there ETERIMG.nbh to ETERDIAG.nbh for both debranding and the HSPL.

I had to do this for two AT&T Titans. These phones would not read the .nbh file till a rename them to ETERDIAG.nbh

THANKS pbp8ntballer I would not be HSPL if not for this guide.
[HTC Titan] ppgame:
Hey, where s the nbh file of HSPL? Could you plz share it? Thanks.
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
Go to Post #1

Go to the #1 post and go down to the DOWNLOADS LINKS. Click on the link for DFT HSPL AND 2.05 SPL and

look on that page for download and click on it. THEN you must follow this GUIDE step by step.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
there isnt .nbh file for HSPL only for 2.05 SPL
[HTC Titan] ppgame:
But in this package, it does not have separated nbh file for HSPL. How can you rename it to be ETERDIAG.nbh?
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I allready told you there isnt .nbh file for HSPL only for SPL he just wrote it bad, his english is bit strange for an USA citizen
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
Sorry

My bad !!! there is no nbh file for HSPL. If you do this Guide step by step. you will see there is two time to rename a .nbh file.

de branding and 2.05 SPL and when you have your phone at the 2.05 SPL it's time to run DFT_HSPL application as administrator.

This Guide is well written so please do every thing step by step.
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
And if not for NuddyBuddy's advice on changing the filename I would not have been able to successfully HSPL. When the file name is changed it is "ETERDIAG" and nothing more; that is type these 8 characters and that's it. For what it's worth I was stuck on that SPL for the longest time before I came at it from scratch turkey the 4th night.
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
nice work berrywr

Guide is PERFECT but some titan don't want become HSPL :(

ETERDIAG trick is SUPER and with this tip i can debrand my ATT Titan i'm not able to install HSPL

Hopefully COTULLA and DFT read these posts, and can help those stuck with 2.5 with SPL like me

Lot of thanks Best regards Fabio :crying:
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
Please thank NuttyBuddy for the ETERDIAG; I was stumped just like all the rest of you. Once your device is reading as a "x310e" here are the steps I did next.

1. Download and unzip the DFT files, there will be two folders - Omega and Titan. It is the Titan folder you want. In it there two folders, they are SPL205 and DFT HSPL.

2. Do not reformat the Gold Card; delete the ROM you just a moment ago successfully flashed on your device.

3. Open SPL205 and seek out the flash file; it's 24 megs. Rename the flash file to ETERDIAG; 8 characters, all caps. Copy the file to your Gold Card. Reboot your device once again in USB Host Mode.

4. This is really, really important...once you plug your Y-cable into your device it will read "Radio - OK" and the moment it proceeds to Bootloader, your device will automatically restart and re-enter USB Host mode on its own. Once again it will repeat reading "Radio - OK", "Bootloader - OK" but before it does it is likely to take its sweet sweet time doing it. It is here I just about gave my device up for dead. I waited and I waited and finally while in the middle of asking NuttyBuddy the same questions many of you are asking...a solid 15 minutes later, the device came to life and flashed the SPL. This step is critical.

5. If your device after testing your patience reads "Radio - OK" "Bootloader - OK" your SPL will continue to read 2.5.160013.5 (137079).

6. Disconnect the Y-cable from your device and restart the phone and return it to bootloader mode.

7. Open Zune (my version is 4.8.2345.0), my PC version of Windows is 8 Professional.

8. Plug your device to your computer; it must read USB at the bottom-center of the bootloader screen.

9. Open the DFT HSPL folder, right click the application file, run as administrator; the program will immediately identify the device; there will be a tab...a window that will read HSPL and OSPL; HSPL is what you want and after clicking it and seconds later the deed is done and your device without restarting should read HSPL and CottulaH; the 2.5.160015.3(137079) will not change; the letter H will appear in front of "SPL" and "Touch" will be replaced with "CotullaH"
[HTC Titan] wileharley:
Exactly what i do but ..

Thanks berrywr for your reply ... i'ts what i do but the difference is that

When i finish to upload european with ETERDIAG trick ( thanks NuttyBuddy ) rom and see x310e to the ititial setup, ( so i'm sure that sd card and y Cable is ok ).

I search and rename the flash file to ETERDIAG and i Copy it to my Gold Card without re-format it.

Connect sd reader to y cable to one female usb and the other to my device and reboot device in USB Host Mode and connect male y cable side to back usb port of Computer and it start loading...

Well, IN ONLY HALF SECOND i can see just ONLY ONE sigle yellow caps (the same that i see when I installed the EU rom) and immediately device self restart and come back to usb mode and go ahead with other yellow signs but at most 10/12 signs and after i can read ETERDIAG - ok RADIO-OK Success etc .. It makes me understand that everything has been properly executed but don't spend 15 minutes but all this happens within just 2 minutes. ( i know that it's wrong but This is what happens )

After i disconnect Y cable and restart device to bootloader and i see inside 2.5.160013.5 (137079) ..

Connect device with normal usb cable to computer and in administrator mode, with zune open, start HSPL program and after having found my device makes me choose between HSPL or OSPL ..

After choosing the first selection (HSPL) click on start and about 6/8 seconds makes me understand that everything is ok and I can use my device in HSPL but NO HSPL IS INSIDE MY DEVICE GRRR

this is my experience and I think I will keep this test because I'm disappointed

I tried to do and redo many actions many timesi'm very tired is about 6 days I'm going crazy and I am very disappointed but i want say LOT OF THANKS to all of you for the energy you spend to get this change in my device

my second device is an iphone 5 and i hack it with redsn0w ( tethering jailbreak ) i can't belive that i can't use my titan with custom rom !! i sell it tomorrow SIGH !

LOT OF THANKS to all

>Fabio Ducilli from ITALY

:good:
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
:D well why u need titan when u have iphone 5 :P yeah well thats why this is called bug i will exchange my titan for 4s iphone so i am tierd of androids rooting etc and this stuff i was able to HSPL HD7, Mozart, Suround but titan is stuborn one :D
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
When I flashed via gold card the ROM for the device to read x310e the yellow asterisk and bracket symbols went 7 and 1/2 rows. When I flashed the SPL205 file, the device restarted itself and re-entered USB Host mode...I don't remember it having any of these yellow symbols. While I was enjoying my 4 days of fun and pulling my hair out...the issues I had were always the memory cards. It took me four days before I gave up using the microSD and going strictly with the thumb drive. I got the impression that the issue with all of this boils down to the device reading the Gold Card. There are those who swear my the microSD and myself, once I got fet up with that and made the switch to the thumb drive; it wasn't perfect but it was pure luck...I mean I wrote this process off and the display timed out, display turned off and like I've said several times; the screen came back up with bootloader and radio were ok and I held my breath and ran the HSPL and I was done. I don't know what else I can tell you other than experiment with differing thumb drives and/or micro SD cards. I realize this process is not perfect and it is obvious as many have posted; the process differs from one user to the next. I wish I had a spare Titan running around the house to give this another try. Over the past couple of weeks (as of this typing) eBay has had a couple of Titans with the Dynamic WP7.8 ROMs, so that's an option if you're dead serious about the device. I understand and sympathize with your frustration; I really, really do. You take care!
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
Did you give up?

1) I think you are real close to doing this.

2) Like berrywr I used a thump drive also, must be 2GB or less

3) The thump drive format must be "Make sure that under "File System" says "FAT32" and under"Allocation unit size" is "4096". IT CANNOT BE ANYTHING ELSE

4) I would used this rom for the de branding *** IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh***

Good luck
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
that file doesn't flash on my phone. It works fine with both 1.09 Europe and the 1.10 Cingular though.

Unfortunately, some of us have the most stubborn phone.
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
with pictures

Ok, check out my entire process and my result for my HTC TITAN (ATT) which has been stuck on the 2.05 MFG since DFT released HSPL file.

1. Debrand successfully using 1.09 europe file.

2. Flash DFT MFG SPL 2.05 successfully

3. screen shot of the phone before flashing DFT HardSPL

4. screen shot of DFT HardSPL program before pushing HardSPL

5. screen shot of DFT HardSPL program showing successful installation.

6. screen shot of phone after DFT HardSPL.

------

Unfortunately not much left for us to try since i've been trying this multiple times. :D
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
NuttyBuddy; the thumb drive I successfully Gold Card is a PNY 4GB; it's the two (red/blue) pack you buy at Wal-Mart. I tried using my PNY 8GB and 16GB drives and struck out with them; I believe the bigger the drives, the longer it will take for your device to read the darn thing despite the small size of the Gold Card; the smaller the thumb drive the faster this entire process was.

While I have you let me ask you a question...when I sync my device (bootloader mode) to the PC both Zune and WMDC open but I do nothing with WMDC; it simply pops up and that's it. Questions I'm being popped are folks who can't seem to sync their devices in bootloader mode to their PC and Zune won't see the device; I've had that problem on more than a few occasions but I took the time which each flash failed or successful to rename the device when Zune was open and made sure I married my zune username and sync to that device. I'm at a lost to explain why their devices won't sync while in bootloader. Thanks!
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
This is first time i hear that Zune can detect device in bootloader mode...

EDIT: I have same same thing as pasanger
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
Yep, it will automatically open Zune the moment you plug the device to your PC; it has to have the connection when you execute HSPL/OSPL. I'm a little unclear on WMDC on the Win8 platform but my PC says its there.
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I have windows 8 proffesional too, but i have connection with PC since the HSPL wizard recognize my titan, its just that zune doesnt open by itself
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
nikola

I have Windows 8 pro and zune never open by it self. It did with win 7

Did you execute *** rapitool.exe *** as administrator

The next time you try this remove your sim card before you start. Plase don't LOL just try.
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
You meant "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe" right?

I don't even have a sim card in the phone since I don't use the phone but still no luck.
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
Could you (NuttyBuddy or berrywr) please let us know when you connect your device to your computer in bootloader (SPL mode) what does your computer's device manager report for the mobile device?

please check the pictures that i have included.
[HTC Titan] NuttyBuddy:
rapitool.exe

1) device manager is same as yours

2) NO "You meant "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe" right?"

3) Did you execute *** rapitool.exe *** as administrator this must be run first before DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe

it should be in the DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1 ZIP fILE
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I run rapitool.exe as administrator bu it ust pops out a cmd screen and goes down, i runed HSPL wizard as u said and still nothing.... How did u run rapitool.exe?
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
A couple of things you need to show us; one, do you know for a fact your device is debranded? I can't tell you how many times I did that only for my device to read HTC Titan PI39100; it must be HTC Titan x310e; you must allow your device to start up normally and you will know before it begins installing whatever apps that need to be installed. The second thing; when you flashed SPL205 did your device reboot one time and automatically re-enter USB Host Mode? Double check those two items, please!
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
1. Yes, it's x310e once it's boot up.

2. It does auto reboot and re-enter USB host mode. That's how it is able to flash MFG SPL successfully (as well as de-branding)
[HTC Titan] nikola92:
I checked but nothing happend, I think this is just hopeless
[HTC Titan] the_passenger:
From what I understand, the rapitool.exe is used when you run "DFT_HSPL_WP7SG1_INSTALL.exe" so you don't have to run it.

However, for the heck of it, I ran it but still doesn't do any good.

Now I wish that HTC/ATT allow us to upgrade to windows phone 7.8 and i'll be happy no need to do HSPL. :D
