Hi
The Problem:
1. I need to send HTC HD2 back for repair because the SD card reader does not work (no storage card visible in File Manager or in explorer on the PC via USB link)
2. I have played around with some non-standard ROMS and , as a result, have SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE on the device together with the standard ROM 1.72.110.4
3. I read in various places that having HSPL will invalidate the warranty
4. I understand I can remove HSPL by flashing from the micro SD card but of course I cant do that as the micro SD card is bust.
5. I've also read somewhere that I cant downgrade SPL 2.08 - which seems odd.
So how can I restore the device to the stock ROM 1.72.110.4 (which is currently running) and the equivalent SPL version?
Can I flash from the PC via USB cable and if so, how do I do this?
How else can I get rid of HSPL?

run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
that will match your 1.72 rom.

And for the SD reader problem, have you tried inserting the card directly to your PC? maybe it just needs to be repaired..?
Yes, thought of that. Both SDHC cards (4G and 16G) work in the PC; neither is visible in the HTC. It seems pretty certain that the problem is with the HTC
R
OK SO I run HSPL2 and select as described and, indeed get SPL1.66
But the (switch on Vol Dn) screen says
SPL-1.66 HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
which does not look much like the original situation to me - there is still mention of HSPL which I thought invalidated the warranty?
i didn't say choose "1.66.hspl" go read my post again, then run hspl2 again and look CAREFULLY at what options are available in the dropdown.

I think he was implying that when he chooses 1.66.0000 and flashes it still shows hspl in bootloader after.. or am I wrong?
Hhhmmm - the original post said run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
So I do that selecting 1.66.0000 rather than HPSL 1.66 (Careless of me. Sorry ) from the drop down list and I now get
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.66.000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
Is that what I am supposed to have in a virgin unmodified ROM/SPL?
OK it seems it is. I found a picture of the original Tricolor screen in this flashing video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4amlg-ogrpM
I am still curious because the introductory text in HPSL2 says
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
and yet you are telling me that I HAVE removed/overwritten HSPL using HSPL2.
Confused (easily done I know)

that's how it used to be when there was only hspl1.
as with many things, time moves inexorably on and info goes out of date.
it still works for removing hspl, and many people get caught out by flashing a stock rom from their sd card that isn't the stock rom for their phone, so it fails, but they don't realise it has already removed hspl before it failed, so they try a different rom, which of course also fails, cos hspl is gone.
I suspected as much - wouldn't have been hard to change the text though!!
Anyway, thanks for your input. The phone as been back to the repairer, survived any inspection for warranty infringements and been returned working.
Sadly, it was unlocked when I bought it 2nd hand and it has come back locked to the T-Mobile network.
Oh well - off on another endless search - IIRC there is a thread here somewhere about it
R
heh, theres dozens of threads about it, and they will all tell you there are two unlock options.
get a code from t mobile,
or
buy one online.
Seems Odd.
If you guys have the technical knowledge to replace ROMs and Loaders, surely locking a phone/PDA to a network/SIM is all in the same area of firmware?
If I just flash any ROM (or a specific ROM) will that make the problem go away?
TFAI
R
nope, nothing you flash will have any effect au all on sim lock. and vice versa,, once unlocked no amount of flashing will re lock it.
as to the technicalities, its way beyond my knowledge how it works
But if that is the case, how did the repair people (who I am told 'flashed it with the most up to date ROM') manage to restore the SIM Lock?
they probably put in a new mainboard, so new imei number, so new phone as far as the network lock is concerned.
Dunno about the motherboard but the IMEI number (which IIRC is the thing that determines the unlock code) has not changed
R
well, all i can tell you is no one has ever reported anything of the kind before. perhaps the techs have used whatever process they use to lock them in the first place to relock it.
one thing i know 100% for sure, no flashing will unlock or relock a phone.

hai guys i hav got a htc hd2 and its in white screen
can any one plz help me to solve this problem
actually i'm new with dis pocket pc
here the info is.
PB81110 Hx-BC
Spl-1.42.0000 Xe
Microp(Led) 0X05
Microp(touch) 0x30
did you do anything to your device ?
i'm asking because i have the same problem and didn't do anything at that time, i had a few freezes which forced me to remove the battery and now its stuck on the white screen, i can't flash anything either. I wasn't trying to either before this happened to me, i had winmo 6.5.x running for months, pretty much untouched since i only use android now.
.) i did a hard reset, which went really fast and did nothing.
.) tried hspl 3 ( it says succesfully flashed, but when i load the bootloader the previous version is being displayed there.
.) tried to flash:
-stock rom from sd, i get stuck in the bootloader "serial"
basicly it just does nothing...
i used a 2gb mirco sd card for that, formatted in fat32. stock rom extracted and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh. volume down + reset
-stock rom from pc/usb connection, error/timeout at 0% saying connection problems.
im running out of idea's, i got 1 month warranty left, but im afraid that it will do me no good since i used hspl
You need to update your spl to 2.08.hardspl AND you mostlikely need to flash your radio as well.
I found out that i made a mistake while trying to flash from sd, i didn't put the leoimg at the root of the sd so it didn't get detected. I managed to get rid of the white screen after flashing but its nowhere near functional. It also gave me an error during the flash, but it carried on and finished the flash eventually...
Now when i boot winmo it says something about microp mismatch, i tried two different roms to make sure it had nothing to do with the rom i was using, it didn't... i had the same problem with both. So my guess is that something is damaged, at least hspl is gone now so i can make use of my warranty again, for the people that don't have warranty left i hope somebody comes up with a solution, if there is one, everything points to hardware damage from my point of view. Would be interesting to know how your problem developed...! anyway good luck

Yeah sure i can do that, but before i do you need to tell me how you got that white screen in the first place. If it's not because of a failed flash attempt you probably want to keep your phone as it is now, so you can make use of your warranty... hspl makes that impossible!
It's probably a hardware problem, i looked up on that microp mismatch and it looks like a hardware failure, updating your software isn't going to solve that, it might solve the white screen issue, but the phone itself won't be functional. Try to explain what happened so i can give you proper instructions on what to do.
If you can start your phone and enter the bootloader there is no need to sent to service.
Enter bootloader and flash from there HSPL 2.08, and flash radio too.
After that flash MAGLDR and android rom.
guys as i have posted in my last post
that was a condition i have received from costumer.
i guess he tried to update it...

With the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button and then tap the Power button.
You will get a multicoloured screen with the word 'Serial' at the bottom. What else does the screen display?
What country and phone operator is the phone locked to?
if you want to install a custom rom or eventually android you are going to need hspl, there are enough guides and tutorials on how to do that on this forum, search for it.
if you just want to bring the phone back to life, running windows mobile, you can go to the htc website. Go to the support section and select your phone and look for available rom updates for your phone/serial number.
connect your phone to the pc and follow the instructions of the setup and upgrade... if the phone doesn't get detected, extract ruu_signed.nbn from the setup file and rename it to leoimg.nbn
put that at the root of your sd card formatted in fat32 and boot your phone holding down the volume down button. Follow the instructions, when its done you can reboot the phone and hopefully you can make use of it

Not really, i was able to do that and even flash an upgrade on the phone, but not without errors, the phone didn't function properly after the flash, so its very likely that something is damaged in my case. I send my phone to htc so they can repair it.
it displays the info
PB81110 Hx-BC

hey guys i tried to download rom from htc support area
but it asked me to enter serial num when i entered the
device serial it gives error.
The serial number you’ve provided appears to be invalid. Please try again.
could any plz tell me the exact procedure and the links to download
what ever it requires its just because i'm new with this softwares
here the info which i got from bootloader mode is:
PB81110 Hx-BC

If you want to install a stock rom you should know what kind of WM has your HD2.
You may not be able to flash any stock rom.There are a lot of versions, regions and it may take some time to try all of them.(http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Leo)
If you do not know the version, as you say you have SPL 1.42.
If this is true you can change to HSPL and after that flash any rom you want, and android.
This should solve your problems.
So download the HSPL from the second post. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433)
Enter bootloader connect the USB cable and flash HSPL.Select 2.08 HSPL from the list.
If you succeed. If you check the bootloader you should see something like Cotulla HSPL 2-08.
Now you can flash any rom you want, the same way: download a rom of your choice, enter bootloader, connect usb cable and start the RUU utility.
If you want to flash android you have to upgrade the radio version.(the same way)
Flash MAGLDR.(the same way).
Flash android.(this is different).
If i am wrong, anybody feel free to correct me.
I would say also do a task29 that contains blank .nbh. you must have hspl 2.08 first to run this then install any custom ROM through PC or your branded ROM through SD card it should work. i hope this helps.
here you go

Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know: NEVER GIVE UP. I task2a my htc leo twice (different times) and "BRICKED" it in that I could not flash any rom back to it. It has HSPL3 and trying everything including removing HSPL and going back to SSPL (HSPL 2.08.0000) I got nowhere. NO ship/stock or custom roms would flash at all by USB and when done by LEOIMG.NBH I'd get RADIO_V2 RSA FAIL etc. I tried using the various RUU executable: Romupdateutility.exe, CustomRUU.exe, ruu.exe (dexter series), and still had problems. I never lost HSPL or bootloader however... In the end I solved it like this:
1) CRITICAL YOU HAVE A FULL BATTERY FIRST AND FOREMOST ELSE IT DOESNT WORK OR UPDATE AT ALL. USE EXTERNAL CHARGER/OTER PHONE.
2) I connected by MTTY and re-did Task 2a, and a Task 28, Task 28 55 aa, and then a task 29.
3) I kept trying various different LEOIMG.NBH files including RADIOs, Custom roms with only OS.NB inside, etc etc etc.
4) In the END:
You will have to use your LEOIMG.NBH on <4gb SD CARD from the STOCK default rom the phone came with....
But: It will probably not (for some reason) work first TEN or so times !!! (weird?)
I kept trying doing ruu.exe in between each SD card attempt and also kept removing/swapping HSPL/2.08.0000 and going in and out of MTTY doing 2a, 28, and 29 OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Ultimately I know this is confusing (my explanation) but I am simpy saying my leo was gone and I did not give up so DO NOT GIVE UP. I sat there 12 hours+ doing this over and over and GOT IT BACK TWICE NOW (yes - I did 2a task twice for certain reasons)... USEFUL ROMS/APPS:
Task29.exe (containg single checksum-ok but BLANK - ruu_signed.nbh)
Telstra Stock ROM
Telstra (HTC website) signed update ROM.
Latest LEO radio
Dexter-with CHT2 and companion ruu.exe (used with dexter and other .nbh)
Xanny-Tech-Evolution via SD Card.
HSPL3_PKG.EXE
magldr 1.11 (by RUU and SD).
In the end YOU WILL FIX IT OK. I'm pretty tired now so I will go over this and clean it up later but KEEP PERSISTING AND HAVE FAITH: if you have HSPL and MTTY and SD you can and you will fix it.
---
edit:
OK, after stock telstra LEOIMG.NBH ok... wanted magldr back... did hspl3... fine... then did Task29.EXE(for radio rom 2.08 576 ram ok) by the EXE/RUU: DO NOT DO THIS... it fails and you have to start again:
after task29.exe (radio 2.08 not-MTTY) with FAILURE - I put the ruu_signd.nbh for this onto SD card and flash - fine. Then did MAGLDR.NBH the same (LEOIMG.NBH) and all OK. Then clockwork and update.zip for PPC-Windows7-Android.

Thanks DFT and Cotulla.

Cool that it works for you. But the steps in your description does not give me enough confidence that it will work for anyone else.
Or maybe someone else can verify this method?
Nice!
This was very inspiring! I hope it does work for everyone. As for me I did try for the nth time and well no luck for me, tried a lot of variations, roms, task29, radios but still unsuccessful. Guess for me customer service is the only way. Good luck to the others!

Hi guys, i'm stuck on:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.0.8.HSPL 8G XE
RIFFBOX 0x05
and white screen without htc logo, can i solve this? or it is bricked up?
Thanks in advance
the same here
I got out of bricked situation by extracting only the SPL file from the stock rom using OS builder.Renamed it leoimg.nbh and flashed it using SD card 2 GB /sandisk/.It appeared stuck on the "loading" screen and I had to remove the battery not sure if I'd succeeded.The first sign that something might have gone right was the green light showing fully charged battery,cause despite "common sense" I put the battery back in and put the phone to charge.After taht I used the RUU_signed file from the same stock rom I took the SPL from.
i must try harder...
i spend already to much hour on this pr ...i dont give up
i connect MTTY via USB button in win 7 i make this command task 2a , task 28 ,29
i want to find a STOCK ROM for my phone but i can't find a good one CID is HTC___001
i need a GOLD card i think... to unlock
after i make the info 8 cmd in MTTY window last line say OS not FOUND ...
I've been going through threads for some hours now but haven't round a solution, so apologies if it already exists:
I've had a problem with my HD2 freezing. It's been sat in a drawer for a while but I thought I'd try and sort it out.
So first I did task29 and that seemed to go OK.
Next I tried to install the stock Vodafone ROM. It buzzed 7 times when the update started and then stuck at 9%.
Having failed to put a ROM on it I then followed the instructions to remove HSPL. When I start it (VOL down, LEOIMG.nbh on FAT32 formatted SD card inserted) it just goes to the tricolour screen and does not flash/load whatever the nbh file.
I put the phone in the fridge for a while and re-tried the ROM update and that reported success, but it won't boot so it's back in the fridge - I'm getting worried about the battery now.
I see someone else had the same problem removing HSPL but don't know what their solution was - am I missing something?
The phone is currently sat in the fridge because I think the 7 buzzes is a heat (processor) issue so assume it's knackered anyway but I still want to remove HSPL.
[thanks for moving the thread - apologies for putting it in the wrong place to start]
UPDATE: I've now successfully updated the ROM to standard UK Vodafone but still no joy with removing HSPL. I'm using a 2GB SD card FAT32 format file names LEOIMG.nbh but I just get the coloured screen. I'm using the nbh file from the current ROM. Tricolour screen reads:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
And then 'serial' or 'USB' at the bottom changing as I plug it in.
Rather than using SD card stock flash, which contains a radio, (your symptoms are often the fault of the radio) you should try running hspl2, and setting spl 1.66.0000
I've also got personal expwrince of spl 2.x refusing to downgrade to 1.x, even when SD flashing, so radio problems aside i now remove spl/hspl 2.x using hspl2.exe and only then perform the SD flash.
Need a little help here, my mate got a HD2 off ebay, which was stuck at android loading screen. I have no idea what the original owner flashed or didnt flash. I can get into the tri-colour screen ok and it shows 3.03 spl, but refuses to change to usb from serial. How can I get access to flash something onto this that will boot?

I've not been on the forum for a while since I got the Sensation - can you point me to an hspl2 thread for the why's, wherefore's & how to's?
Thanks.
EDIT: Found it thanks.
To change the SPL you need the device in bootloader mode (tri-colour sreen) than you connect the usb cable between PC and device. in the white section of the bootloader should say USB (if usb sync drivers on the PC are ok). next you need HSPL2.exe, HSPL3.exe or HSPL4.exe from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 . depending on your current SPL/HSPL ver you'll choose one of them.
About the "It's working in the fridge" problem - sorry to hear that. It's pretty much fatal. Check out here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454
I just got back from repair an HD2 with the same problem, vibrating 7 times, ect., and it cannot be repaired. you need new main board but they are no longer produced, and even if you find one from china it's from 280-250 USD.
I hope it's not the same with you, but...
Well I did the HSPL2.exe thing and that was a piece of cake - HSPL now removed and ROM properly installed.
It still does the vibrate 7 times thing every now and again so it looks like it's going on ebay as junk

I tried to flash with sd Card, leoimg.nbh on the sdcard breakes after 10%
it says

I think I have a bootloader problem. How can I remove SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE and set the new orginal SPL ?
here bepe says :
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

nobody knows the solution?
You have a stuck radio. Fairly common, with a variety of symptoms. The radio wont let itself be changed which is why custom roms and splashscreens don't have a problem.(radio gets flashed at the start of flashing which is why it always fails around 8-10%) This issue can affect spl to a greater or lesser degree, some people can change spl some can't, some find flashing an older (but correct for that phones cid and region) stock rom, some find chilling the phone allows the flash to take allowing the radio to finally change, some never get anything to flash again.
hi
thank you for your answer. My Bootloader shows
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
0X05
0X50
if I try to run Task29 via USB Cable, I get Error 270, it breaks sometimes at 16%
reflash 3.03 HSPL with HSPL 4 says it is successfull, but if I try to flash a rom with usb again it shows 270 Error, so my logical deduction is, reflash with HSPL4 does not really flash and it gives wrong answer because others like task28 leo customRUU can't flash over usb cable. HSPL 4 says success but this answer must be fake, after reboot 3.03HSPL remains in the bootloader, I tried to downgrade to 2.08HSPL no chance,
My System is Windows XP SP3 when I connect USB Cable to my HD2 it shows USB in the bootloader but why does it break if I try to flash over USB Cable and give an error 270 ? there must be a connection problem between my laptop and HD2.
I would like to know
Is there any way to flash HSPL4 over microSD card?
Can I see which Radio Rom has been installed ?
its a bit strange
Radio Rom Radio_2.15.50.14 istallation via USB Cable fails after 4%

as i said,. you have a radio image that isnt allowing itself to be overwritten. My name for it is 'stuck radio' and some people fgind the radio still works fine with, for example, custom roms, it just cant be changed, others find the phone always hangs on grey bootscreen, yet more find taht hspol/spl flashes seem to work but nothing changes, some find chilling it in teh freezer lets a rom flash and suddenly all is well, and yet more find the freezer trick seems to work but doesnt, and yet more try and try and try to sd card flash with their CORRECT stock rom and suddenly without warning teh flash works.
My advcie, Prepare yourself for disappointment, but keep trying,and most importantly READING there are hundreds of threads about this.

hey gys whats this radio in mobiles... have searched and searched but no ans.....
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...
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.

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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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...
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://forum.xda-developers.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.

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.

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...
