[Q] Any Ideas?

[IronMan1289]

Alright guys so I'm trying to install a custom rom but I' m stuck because I cannot even get hspl installed.

I have an AT&T Titan and am using a selfmade y- cable and to gold card. I flashed the OSPL 2.5 via goldcard and it worked with success, next I ran HSPL Wizard and it said that hspl installed correctly but when the device rebooted hspl wasn't installed.(Picture 1)

So I'd tried reflashing the stock Rom"IMG_Eternity_Cingular_US_1.10.502.04_Radio_16.23.02.26_A_16.27.00.23_Signed_ETERNITY_RELEASE" to redowngrade the Spl and it flashed with success!(Picture 2)

The problem now is that even after flashing the stock rom the spl is still "2.5" when it should be "1.10"(Picture 3)

So my question to you fine gentelmen is, "Does anyone know of a way to get my spl to change?"

Thank you all in Advance!


Also now when I try to gold card anything other than a signed Cingular rom my device shows loading... the card reader flashes a few times, and then it jumps staight back to the spl loader mode?(like pic 1 and 3)

I haven't done it yet, but I am when my cables get here, but I have read the ENTIRE thread of Gold Card and DFT's HSPL for 2nd Gen devices, so I'll take a stab at it first.

you said

I flashed the OSPL 2.5 via goldcard and it worked with success,​

, the OSPL is the original SPL when you need to bring it back to stock for warranty reasons. But that doesn't explain as to why your pics say that you SPL is 2.05 either. From my reading, if your SPL is now 2.05, you can flash HSPL and custom ROMS.

I would flash the SPL again, using the SPL not OSPL.

I'm sure you did that initially and just typed it wrong or I'm misunderstanding you.

 

[IronMan1289]

Yeah I actually meant just the spl that came with dft's hspl.

i'm in the process of rewiring my y-cable and trying to start fresh!

Will post the results!

Thanks for replying though man!

I managed to get back my spl to 1.10 from 2.6 (from the recent HTC update), by flashing the stock rom twice. This was coincidental, while I trying to get the internet sharing to work with my att titan 1 (there is a thread for this in this forum)- This how I did it: flash stock cingular rom, then forced cab update to 8107; booted phone then reset while booting up switched it again to spl mode to reflash stock cingular rom second time then forced update cab update again to 8107, following this i did a factory reset. After all this long drawn process I didn't get the internet sharing to work but for some reason it did downgrade spl from 2.6 to the original 1.10

BTW, my att titan is now unbranded, flashed with european stock rom using goldcard with spl 2.5

 

[Tachi91]

Same Issue here.. except I'm on the 2.5 that came with DFT's folder.. I can only flash the AT&T .nbh nothing else

I can't even get to 2.6 (HTC update). stuck on 2.5

I reflashed the stock rom, and tried cab update to 8107 but when I run cab sender tool it finishes "restarting your phone..Error: System.Exception: Firmware Device is null at wm7update.Program.UpdateDevice(IDeviceInfo deviceInfo, List' 1 updates, UpdateType type)
at wm7update.Program.Main(String[] args)"

Never used cab sender so I have no idea what this means.

 

[habnzrot]

Sorry mate, I can't help you with that error. I haven't had any problem with cab sender with stock cingular rom. Try to search the other forum re cab sender. I wonder if this is to do with the DFT 2.5 spl. Why not try to debrand your att titan using the goldcard method? this might be the long process if you can't get the cab update going.

 

[Tachi91]

Now I'm stuck on 7720 .. CabSender Doesn't work (null Firmware)... Can't Flash Europe 2.05 rom using GoldCard... I'm stuck with 2.5(DFT) SPL even when i try flashing the SPL 2.6 from HTC or the HSPL from DFT.... Whatever SPL they made or got it from..... It won't upgrade/downgrade.

This is Nice...

I believe it has something to do with language cabs being sent with update cabs.

I'm just throwing this out there...but it seems that ATT Titans seem to be getting half brick issues more compared to unbranded devices.

Did you guys stay at stock SPL 1.10 (never upgraded the bootloader from the HTC website) when you tried installing the HSPL through goldcard?

OR

Did you upgrade the bootloader (off the HTC website) to upgrade the SPL to 2.6 before trying the goldcard?

I have not tried anything yet with my phone, but I was curious because half of the Titans have SPL 2.6 already from HTC while all/most ATT users are stuck at 1.10. -Would this have anything to do with the problems we are having?

Flashing the stock rom twice reverted the spl back to 1.10 for someone else earlier today. its worth a shot.

I had SPL 1.10 ... Then I made a GoldCard with the 2.05 SPL within the DFT folder and flashed... The Bootloader then read 2.5.XXXXX ... So I assumed all went well and ran the HSPL Install program.. It continued successfully and claimed HSPL was installed.. I restarted the phone and the bootloader still read 2.5.XXXX

I believe it has something to do with language cabs being sent with update cabs.

Even without the Language cab it fails... And the phone does not stay in the Zune Update Screen for long... If I restart the phone and manually enter the Zune Screen (Vol-) it restarts after 2~ seconds.

I tried flashing the Cingular 1.10 rom twice via GoldCard and RUU both flashed successively but kept the SPL at 2.5


habnzrot .. From what i assume did not attempt HSPL, merely updated to HTC 2.6 SPL then unbranded the titan by flashing Europe ... essentially going from 2.6 > 2.05 > 1.10

Whatever is going DFT SPL2.05 is preventing it from being rewritten up or down

 

[Tachi91]

Back on 8107 ... Run the Cabsender and while the phone is restarting for the first time.. Pull the Battery and then Power on the phone while holding (vol-)

 

[habnzrot]

The downgrade happened when I was on stock Cingular rom with spl 2.6 (upgraded through HTC recent bootloader update) as I said previously it was a pure coincidence whille I was trying to get my internet sharing to work. When I unbranded my titan though goldcard, I first upgraded it using the HTC update so I was back to spl 2.6 ATM I have not tried to flash the HSPL.

 

[GuestK00161]

This is very interesting...on the DFT thread on the Windows forum, it seems very few people with ATT Titans have the HSPL and actually flashed a custom rom.

So Tachi, just for confirmation your phone actually had "HSPL" 2.5.xxxx after goldcard? or just SPL 2.5.xxxx??? I think the OP had just "SPL" 2.5.xxxx after trying to goldcard with HSPL.

It would be very interesting if this has to do with the original SPL number on the phone. When you upgrade to SPL 2.05 (which is basically the same/modified HTC's 2.5 SPL?) it's possible that it doesn't "successfully" upgrade when we have SPL 1.10 even if it does say "successful."

Now going back to your problem...and once again I am throwing this out there...

Have you tried reflashing the stock OS with with Advanced RUU?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637294

I am not entirely sure if what this does as it may be just another way to flash through RUU, but I remember Task 29 on WinMobile where it practically wiped the phone before you could install the a new/stock OS/SPL.

I had 1.10 then I used the GoldCard to flash DFT 2.05 SPL ... Thats when It showed 2.5 ... I attempted afterwards to flash HSPL but the SPL remained at 2.5 ..

I tried using the Advanced RUU but its the same.

task28 stops task29 which formats the Partition where the UserData is stored... It leaves the radio/SPL untouched. Now task00 stops task28 from taking place keeping UserData, but it fails when i try doing a task00/28 with the 2.05 SPL DFT provided.

That is BALLS!!! yea, thanks for the info on "Task" - I totally did not know that. Well I will continue to look into this issue. I might even try it myself once I get my Y cable here in the next few days. But anyway, hopefully more folks will chime in to help you over on the DFT thread.

Does anyone know if we can overwrite the spl via cabs?

No.. cabs work only on things that deal with the OS. Bootloader, Radio, SPL are too low level actions.

 

[chester_b]

Have anybody fixed this cabsender error: "system.exception: firmware device is null"? I still can't upload language pack. What I'm doing wrong?

I've just unlock my Titan as described ht tp://ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=drTVTuj71TY
