Cotulla is working on it (I do believe). I stopped reading the thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684912) when I got my new device in and de-branded it first (there by preventing the situation that you are in), however, where I left off in my following that thread was Cotulla asking for USA AT&T testers. I have followed the email notifications that I get from that thread, and nothing new that I've seen. On pages 25 - 28 you'll find that Cotulla is (or was) working on it.

So to answer your question, I tried everything when I was stuck on SPL 2.5 and nothing worked. You are stuck on AT&T stock ROM for now. Maybe throwing $$ at Cotulla would speed the process up?:fingers-crossed::confused:

Hope this helps

Hi, I'm currently on a debranded ATT Titan HSPLed with custom rom. Previously I managed to downgrade my SPL from euro v4 back to stock Cingular rom v1.10 These are the steps I took to downgrade:

1. Flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10 using RUU. This brings my Titan from euro Tango rom to stock cingular rom. However the SPL version was stucked at v4

2. Out of desperation, I flashed the stock TEST Cingular rom 2.01 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477189 again using RUU.

3. Please note that cingular rom 2.01 is a demo/test rom so its not functional.

4. RE-flashed stock Cingular rom 1.10. This time around it downgraded my SPL from v4 to the stock v1.10:D

Give this a try, and report back. If it works please before trying again to flash HSPL, debrand your titan to euro rom 2.05 using goldcard method:cowboy:

Goodluck.

this dont work to go back to 1.1 spl to start over

we need cotulla to work it out
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Exactly what I've been saying. The only out right now, is to send it back to AT&T and trade for another one.

Hello there,

I had the same situation on my AT&T Titan for 2 weeks, thinking it was my Gold Card or SD, but I finally upgrade the HTC SPL to the official 2.6 from June update.

Then I reflash the Stock AT&T Rom, but the SPL remain at 2.6.

Then I quit for a while. Removed the battery for a couple of days, & tried the Debranding again using the IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_2.05.401.01_Radio_Signed_16.23.06.10_16.32.00.23_ETERNITY_RELEASE.nbh, renaming it to ETERIMG.nbh & Goldcard my phone onto this EU Rom.

Then the SPL was downgraded from 2.6 to the EU 2.5.

After that I proceeded to the DTF SPL2.5 & HSPL & voila, the custom Roms.

Hope it help.
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
At this point, I'm deperate. Thanks for the advice, I will be sure try this method and hope for the best. I'll try to keep everyone updated with my results in this thread. Thanks again :good:
[HTC Titan] pbp8ntballer:
My outline comes from the guide I made specifically for AT&T phones that need to do in order to safely debrand and install hspl.

So, if the person went to read the guide fully (where I mention several times that this process is required if they wish to install custom roms) then they can find that they'd be most likely be able to install HSPL after using my debranding method.

My AT&T Titan has HSPL applied and running a custom rom, and there's a picture guide provided in the post to show it.

However, I agree, I do not see any warnings that normally, you can't install HSPL on an AT&T HTC Titan all by itself without debranding. Honestly, there should be, because I can't count how many posts I've seen of people soft-bricking/bricking their devices.

EDIT: However, I guess I forgot to add, you cannot do anything after you applied the custom 2.5 SPL provided by DFT, IF you didn't debrand it prior. If you did debrand your phone, obviously you'll be fine. If you haven't though, then you'll be stuck along with everyone else and you'll need to get a new phone or wait for the fix.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
If this actually works, we need to spread the news about. There are still a bunch of AT&T Titans locked out there on SPL 2.5. franchize1989, OP, give us an update if it worked or not. Good luck
[HTC Titan] elmanortega:
yes i need to know if it works

i cant find a way to update to 2.6 how did he do that?
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
Did not work... Still reads PI39100 MFG and SPL 2.5.XXXX ... and, i could not get into USB flash mode at all. I got to HSPL Screen, turning on phone (Vol + and Vol -), but not USB flash mode (Vol -). Instead of USB flash mode screen (Grey with Blue letterings), I have a black screen with a picture of Windows Phone syncing to a computer and I don't know what that means. But other than that, I have to say this method did not work. And I am stuck having to wait :confused: :confused:
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
and i just want to add that my phone is fine. it boots up windows stock at&t rom without downgraded SPL, and the phone is running normal... but just stuck for a fix to downgrade SPL.

Help with AT&T Titan

I have network unlocked AT&T HTC TITAN. For the last 3 days, I have been trying to unbrand it using goldcard method with no luck. I tried with two 2GB microsd cards, 3 USB sticks from sandisk and at least 5 single port card readers.

With one card reader, phone went up to “Loading” screen, then after around 5 minute, “No Image Found!” message came up. :(

I read thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744253 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837 completely. I followed all the instructions.

I tried to flash following three stock roms

IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_1.08.401.06_Radio_16.23.02.09_2_16.24.00.23U_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE

IMG_Eternity_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.02_Radio_16.23.02.09_A_16.24.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE

IMG_Eternity_hTC_Asia_TW_1.10.709.01_Radio_16.23.02.09_A_16.24.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE

My SD card is formatted as FAT32 with allocation unit 4096. I used the goldcard tool and image provided in those links. I renamed the rom file as “ETERIMG.nbh”.

I made a Y cable myself and its working properly. Phone and the card reader are getting power and phone is able to read the SD card.

Whatever I do, after 5-10 minutes of “Loading” screen, I’m getting “No Image Found!” error. :(

Now I’m out of any options. Please help…

Thanks in advance
[HTC Titan] habnzrot:
Not sure if you tried this but if not give this a go, patch the sdcard before copying the stock rom to the sdcard.
[HTC Titan] Dark Moon:
Thanks for the reply but I tried that already.

I copied the file and then made the goldcard that didn't work. I made the goldcard first and then copied the file, that also didn't work.

I tried to make goldcard with HxD tool also.

I repartitioned 2GB MicroSD card to 990MB with MiniTool Partition app. I tried the SDFormatter tool.

Every time phone is going to "Loading" then sometimes it will show "No Image Found!" immediately, Sometimes after 5-10 minutes.

I have no idea what's wrong :(

I did it :)

I tried with a new card reader. First I debranded phone to European ROM by Goldcard method, then I flashed DFT SPL 2.5 by goldcard method. then HSPL and now I have successfully installed custom rom :)

I believe sandisk 2GB microSD cards are working properly with goldcard. so if anyone who uses sandisk 2GB microSD card but still can't do goldcard, problem could be with the card reader. At least, in my case, card reader was the problem. I tried 6 card readers and only one worked. I believe debranding at&t Titan with european rom is important.

even though I didn't get much help directly from friends, I really thank for all the friends who commented in many threads related to HTC Titan, because I read all the post related to flashing and it helped me a lot.
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
since nothing worked, I contacted at&t. They were nice enough to replace my phone, I told them that there were wi-fi issues along with calling problems. My new Titan will be delivered in a couple of days and I just want to ask what should I do immediately to avoid my problem again? step by step on how to debrand my at&t Titan first then downgrade SPL to flash HSPL then a custom rom? Thanks again in advanced :confused:
[HTC Titan] ody360:
checking debrand

I am on an att titan with spl 1.10...., so before I jump into the fun, I wanted to double check what the phone will say/do once it is debranded. Does someone have a picture of what a debranded phone will boot up to? Would I be able to use the phone after the debranding procedure, but before loading a custom rom?

It seems like people are getting stuck after installing hspl without properly debranding, so I just wanted to double check that a phone is properly debranded.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Yes sir. Your phone will boot with no problem. In settings is the only place you'll notice any difference. Model will be x310e instead of x310a. And of course your spl will be changed too. But the main thing is, your titan is now ready for hspl and new custom Rom! Happy flashing

Good for you man! Now you can start from scratch like I did. Just follow these steps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744253 and you shouldn't have any problems. Be sure to read it all the way through first, then make it happen. If you have any questions, just let me know. :cool:
[HTC Titan] ody360:
Thanks for the answer GreenGrenadez! :good: Another inquiry about updating our phones, and I asked it in someone else's post too... What is the difference between radio 16.xx... vs 17.xx... Have you tried/noticed a difference? I use the phone here in Kentucky and Wa state, and my provider is T-mobile so I'm at the slower 2G speeds. (although some places in Wa are at 3G since allocating the 1900Mhz freq from AT&T)
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Your phone will not boot with 17.xx (at least mine didn't)! Others have discussed signal differences between them and not sure how they can run both but mine didn't run 17 at all, however, after putting 16.xx back on, everything was still the same.

Crappy signal strength is the only reason I tried the 17.xx. So, having said that, there isn't any danger in trying it after your custom rom is all set up because if you try and it fails, just go back to 16.xx and your phone hasn't been reset or changed at all.
[HTC Titan] someeh:
Did you use the goldcard method?
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
Yes, no other way.
[HTC Titan] someeh:
Debranded= carrier unlocked??
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
That's a good question! I have an old TMobile card at home. When I get there, I'll give it a try. I know it will not let me dial out because the account is closed, but if it is carrier unlocked, it won't throw a sim error. I'll report back.
[HTC Titan] someeh:
But will I need to do the goldcard method to update it to spl 2.5? that's what I really want to know. Nevermind... I answered my own question. I guess I'll try out that goldcard method.
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
i got my replacement phone and the first thing i did was flash euro stock rom on the fresh titan. it worked fine. but when i tried to flash 2.5 spl, it didnt work. error 397 i think. i tried glodcard method. managed to "update compelete" but nothing. no change to spl. so, i gave up and flashed us cing stock rom. my titan right now reads 1.10XXX spl... scared to mess with it anymore and get stuck again. any aadvice what i should do? thanks again. but i'm just happy i'm not stuck with pi13900 MFG which sucked.:rolleyes:
[HTC Titan] someeh:
Where did you get your Y-cable from? I've been looking for it on ebay and no luck. All I see is 2 male -1 female.
[HTC Titan] malvo26:
That Y-cable is normal with 2 male and 1 female end. That's why you need to also buy a gender changer with 2 female ends.
[HTC Titan] ody360:
Hi someeh, I suggest just buying the 2 male/female usb cable and then making it yourself, it really wasnt too difficult. Plus, the wires were only like $2.50 each if you buy it online... I checked at local stores like bestbuy and radioshack, they were selling for like $20 each! I just got mine from amazon, but even monoprice.com has got them going for cheap.

It took me about 20 minutes to strip and connect the wires. They are really thin, but once stripped, I just connected them and covered with electrical tape. Good luck!
[HTC Titan] someeh:
Yeah, I was checking best buy no luck there lol. I'll work on something.
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
What's your status? Buy your cable or make it? Flash yet?
[HTC Titan] someeh:
I made the cable, tried 3 different flash drives, 3 different micro SD cards to 3 different micro SD card adapters and no go... can you flash the euro rom via RUU?
[HTC Titan] GreenGrenadez:
What's the status on your flashing abilities?
[HTC Titan] someeh:
No luck as of yet! I'm going to purchase a regular SD card reader after work and try again. It if fails, I'm not going to waste any more time on i

Update!!!! flash successful.. the only drawback for T-mobile customers, you won't get 3g coverage(((pending roaming agreement with at&t))))
[HTC Titan] franchize1989:
My status since recieving replacement Titan from AT&T since my Titan was stuck at PI3900 MFG. I finally successfully flashed a custom rom on my Titan. Once I got the phone, I flashed a Euro rom on the Titan. Then USB flashed SPL 2.5XXX. Once i finished that, I ran HSPL program. Right when my phone resarted I went to SPL screen to verify what SPL is. It acutally read pi3900 MFG, and I thought I was stuck again. I flashed a custom rom through USB FLASH METHOD. Phone restarted and went straight to SPL screen, and it read HSPL and PI3900 instead of MFG at the end. And it worked... I don't know how exactly, but it did. The only thing I should say is that when I want to use another custom rom, I use USB FLASH METHOD to insall it and it works fine.

[Nexus 7 General] kraized:
I fear now that I'm gonna have to return it because of one major design flaw. That is, the use of the EXT filesystem.

When I try and copy a selection of folders full of photos to the Nexus 7 whether via USB MTP or Wireless, every single file has had it's timestamp changed to the exact time/date the copy operation occurred. This for me, is a complete nightmare.

I have loads of folders with photos that I need to keep in chronological order, if the timestamp is changed (without actually modification of the files) I am unable to sort them date descending (so the newest files appear first).

I have even tried copying a test selection to my Dropbox and using FolderSync to sync the photos back down to the device - however, this doesn't work either. As soon as the files are on the device the filesystem modifies the timestamp. :(

I could of course just leave the photos in the Cloud and view them that way, which I don't mind but I have yet to find a photo gallery app that is able to view photos via Dropbox and provide slideshow capability without downloading them to the device.

Everything works just fine on my SGSII (running ICS 4.0.4) when copying data as all timestamps are retained. I believe this to be down the use of the FAT32 filesystem as opposed to EXT and the fact that USB Mass Storage works and not crappy USB MTP as used on the Nexus 7.

If anyone has a successful workaround to retain timestamps of files I would appreciate it. I can't believe its so difficult to copy a few photos to the device.

I don't want to send it back as I love the Nexus 7 and Android in general but I think I'm gonna have to if I can't get it to work the way it should.

:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Try importing your pix through an app called quickpix. Its a great album/gallery. Its a free app. Try a few test photos to see I it retains your time stamp. There's a good chance it does. I know what you mean though. Its not a nexus7 only thing. Alot of devices do that.
[Nexus 7 General] kraized:
I take it you mean QuickPic? I have that and use it on my SGSII but it doesn't work on the Nexus 7. Like I said, as soon as the files are copied to the NX7 the timestamp changes. If QuickPic supported Cloud storage then maybe that could be a workaround but it doesn't. :(
[Nexus 7 General] AZImmortal:
If you're only concerned with the timestamps for photos, then this app can change the timestamps to match the timestamps in each photo's EXIF info:

[Nexus 7 General] urfate:
Possibly zip the files first then transfer?
[Nexus 7 General] rowanparker:
It wouldn't be hard to make a little script to batch rename all your folders to include the date on your pc of before you copy them over.

Also, which time stamp is it changing? Modification?

As an aside, I think ext4 now supports another time stamp: creation. Or, I made up reading that!
[Nexus 7 General] FineWolf:
It's because of MTP and has nothing to do with the file system used.

Use FTPDroid to transfer your files over. Your timestamps will be preserved (depending on the settings of your FTP client).

MTP doesn't give access to the underlying filesystem, thus doesn't allow your copying program to set them accordingly. MSD gives you direct access, which is why you didn't have the issue on your SGS2.

I have gone through quite a few android phones in the past year since becoming a smartphone user (Droid X2, HTC Thunderbolt, RAZR MAXX). I keep hearing stories of the good old days about the original DROID, and then Daily Steals decided to throw up the device in retail packaging for 70$ shipped.

Given I've recently been extremely unhappy with my RAZR since the ICS update (no adobe flash support/comp ability for embedded videos, which was the main use for my phone) I decided 70 bucks was a small gamble to try and regain my satisfaction with my daily driver.

Given the small amount of RAM is the device still able to handle the apps of today? I don't use it for much other than streaming movies and TV shows aside from web browsing.

Can I expect to use this phone or did I simply purchase a piece of cellular history to put away in a sock drawer?
