ATT HTC Titan with HSPL stuck on Radio 16

[lund123]

I have a HTC ATT Titan that is loaded with HSPL (as far as I can tell) - but will not load any ROMS that require radio 17. The screen remains stuck on the HTC logo. If I switch to radio 16 and a supported rom, it works.

1) can someone please confirm if I have infact HSPL running as it should
2) is this a known problem with ATT HTC for it to remain stuck on radio 16?

Thanks

It's not a problem of AT&T. I had the same issue with my euro Titan. Stuck at radio 16.
This is how I fixed it
BTW - not so long ago I decided to flash back radio 16 because of the signal strength and faster network detection.
So I cooked my rom based on 2.05 OEM and tried to downgrade radio to 16 from 17. And I realized that now I'm stuck at radio 17
So I did all things again as I described in my linked post but for downgrade. And downgraded successfully.
One more tip - OEM 2.05 works definitely better for me than OEM 4.06 used with 17 radio.

I followed these instructions, but like any other method - the SPL screen still shows Radio 16. Looks like nothing changes it.

BTW step #7 in your linked post, the file cannot be found for Radio 17 - I do have it from other post, the names exactly matches so I think I have the one you wanted me to load for radio 17 - but still does not wor.

Thanks

As far as you're able to install HSPL (according to your homescreen) and you're unable to install radio - I would offer to use 7.8 custom rom based on 2.05 OEM. Believe me - you won't miss anything with 16 radio.
What is your native tongue? I ask because if it's English or Russian - I can offer my rom (it has only two langs). If it's different - you should wait until ultrashot will make his dynamics next ver. He is going to make it in two instances - for 16 and 17 radio.
P,S, I fixed the radio link in my post.

What I am really after is to use to unlock the ATT phone - so any ROM that will allow me to unlock this from ATT would be great.

If so - I can cook you a 7.8 today (today means - I can start in 7-8 hours and hopefully it's ready within 12 hours). Will send link in PM. It will boot as 0409.

 

[lund123]

Thanks - this would be carrier unlocked right? Just checking to make sure...

Sure - why the hell should I cook carrier-dependent rom? My second name is not ATT It's just 7.8 - 2.05 OEM based rom for Titan 0409. Also without most of HTC $hitware like HUB, ConnectedMedia etc. You may install it from the market if you want

Check PM - all links there.

Thanks Andrew, the ROM loaded fine and seems to work ok. but But, the dreaded unlock situation is still unresolved. Everytime I reboot, the "enter your pin" screen shows up.

When I boot the titan, the splash screen does say configuring unlok status or something close to this - but then pops up the "enter carriee provided pin" kind of message asking for unlock pin.

Please let me know if you have some pointers on this.

Thanks again for your help - I know you do not have to, but you are.

Check PM - all links there.

There is a lot of services like that on e-bay. Find most acceptable for you and go ahead.
You now have the same situation as I had with my Leo TMOUS. You should buy (or receive from your carrier) the unlock code generated for your IMEI. You can not find any rom that will fix this issue.
I was sure that you have carrier-unlocked Titan. The unlocking takes a couple of seconds and takes effect forever - future flashing can not change anything later.

 

[lund123]

Andrew - I have an unlock code from 3rd party and it unlocks the phone fine, but when rebooted, it asks for the code again.

The same behavior was observed with your ROM as well. So whether I use a stock ATT cingular ROM or your ROM I am seeing the same results - the unlock code is asked again after a reboot.

Thanks

That can only mean that your unlock code is not good. But if it works until reboot - it's better than nothing. Either try to obtain another unlock code or continue inserting code after reboot.
From my experience - I got official unlock code from carrier - so I had to enter it only once and than - forgot about that.

 

[lund123]

So I called ATT and the rep looked it up with the IMEI numer and said we do not have an unlock code for this phone. Apparently on septemer 20, 2012 some code was released, and that I should look it up on google.

Running out of options....

Is there a way I can go ack to 1.0 SPL, I had that before I installed the HSPL / SPL 2.5 - and it seems nothing can change than anymore.

Just flash stock AT&T rom in a usual way - that's it.

CellUnlocker.net is what I've used for my Rhodium, HD2 and Titan I. No problems whatsoever.

berrywr, yep - looks really good and user friendly site.
