Darn 503 errors, i had a really good reply all set up too. Ok here it goes.
If you have any further questions on anything below please search through XDA, google etc. I have no problem sharing what i know, but the research may also reveal some new info we can use. I've spent lots of time researching all of this and here is the general overview of my findings to date.
The SPL is basically the Bootloader. It needs to be patched to allow unsigned (custom) ROMs to be loaded to the device. Currently we have no way to write an SPL to the phone either though. There are soft SPL (SSPL) and Hard SPL versions for other devices which you can find on XDA for more info. One difference is the Titan doesn't have an IPL (lower level actually loads the SPL) like it's GSM counterparts. Generally the IPL is patched to allow the SPL to load from ram for a soft spl to work. In this case since we don't have an IPL i've been looking into a tool called HaRET which has been designed to load linux.
Researching this is definitely for the geeks. HaRET will require cpp knowledge. SPL patching can already be done by Olipro at xda, but that requires disassembly if anyone is into that. There is currently no need for testers, but those willing to brick a device are definitely appreciated. If you feel you can research a lot and share information via the board or the wiki that could be helpful even without the detailed coding knowledge. Another way to help for those that aren't into all this work is a donation of a mogul to someone (no, not me) who has been helpful to us in the past.
I'm glad to see people wanting to help, and i hope the nitty gritty details manage to capture someones interest.
jamesus, if you get the wiki going let me know. I might be able to put some details there, but i'm not so great at creating the organization for the wiki. (I still can't access it from work though)
