[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingdong10:
Hey. I rooted my Desire HD with VISIONary+ a couple of days ago but decided to unroot again because I actually was happy with the way it was before and just wanted to root it to see what it was like. Well.. Now I have a problem. I downgraded to root it and now I can't update the phone again.

When it starts to update it reboots but when it turns on again the only thing I can see is a little Android and a triangle with exclamation. Then I have to take out the battery and start the phone again. I've tried it several times now and that same thing happens every time. What can I do?

And by the way: Clockwork Recovery is still turned on after the unrooting and I've tried to root and flash alternate recovery but it says that there is no other recovery to flash. I don't know if this could have anything to do with the updating problem.

Please help me I'm new at all this rooting stuff and I just want my phone the way it was before if that's possible.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you still have CWM on the phone you're still rooted so an OTA update will fail. You need the RUU to completely reset the phone to stock
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingdong10:
How do I get the RUU? And what do I do with it? Can you help me out?

I guess I should look under "Official Roms". But which one should I pick?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
The one that corresponds best with your phone, ie mine would be t-mobile uk
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingdong10:
Thank you all so much. It worked and I got it updated! I just have one more question.

Before I rooted I was on firmware 1.7something and now I'm on 1.3something and it says that there is no available updates. Why is that so?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Htc uk pulled the 1.72 update because it was ****. That might be why.

I have been running this particular ROM and radio for some time and since last week my data connection seems to be not responding properly

I have full signal (be it indoors or outdoors) but the errors i receive is those that i cannot connect to server or no response...

I am running the 32.44.xx.xx radio and it has always been ok until last week...i tried the 32.49 and 32.52 roms as well..these 2 keep disconnecting

PS: i even have trouble posting this thru the phone

Since they are kinda the same phone can I install all the desire hd rooms,themes, mods etc on the inspire?

this will greatly effect my desicion to come back to the inspire or not
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
You can if you are using a dhd rom. Make sure what you install is for the version of rom your using 1.72, 1.84, 2.16 etc...

Virgin LG phone with NoDo can be developer unlocked with airwa1kin7's procedure.

Note that I have not touched my phone with any hacks before the NoDo update. I applied airwa1kin7's procedure after NoDo and was able to developer unlock it.

Registry settings stick after syncing and all apps and side loading work. I have not touched Chevron or any other hacking before the NoDo. This is at least a solution for LG phones.

thanks to airwa1kin7s !
[Windows Phone 7 General] surrender420:
I haven't had any luck with the registry hacks unlocking my refurbed att Quantum, or don't think Ive unlocked it. Application deployment does tell me my app limit has been reached, even though i dont have any developer apps installed and i HAVE changed the app limit with MFG also. any ideas? I also never tried anything until post NoDo and once i found out my hacks didn't work, I also tried Chevron but it along with the i believe tom's xap installer tell me my phone isnt connected. The phone is seen in Zune though...

I have a LG Optimus 7 WP7 phone (unbranded);

I am in Finland;

My operator is Saunlahti (if anyone cares);

And the roaming icon is always on, which is really annoying. Is there any way to make it work properly? Is there a way to say to the phone that this Saunalahti network is my home network?

(I do not want to hide the icon completely, I just want to know if it is possible to make it work properly)

As a side-note - my HTC Hero and Nokia 5800 detect this as my home network correctly with the same SIM.

As a second side-note - could the fact that my LiveID region is set to UK somehow be involved in this?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] scheichuwe:
You don't need one...

On froyo you can unlock by pressing the menu button. There has been a fix to avoid that. But as I said, it's not needed here. Menu button is deactivated by default.

[Nook Color General] vanstrien:
I've been looking at posts regarding the Nook Color but there are still some details I can't quite work out.

My father has asked me to buy him a Nook Color and root it. (How often does a 71 year old luddite ask you to root something?) He primarily wants to use it as an eReader while on vacation, but he is keen to also have access to the Android market and his email. I've got him using TuneIn and NPR on his phone.

However I don't want to get it for him if the Nook Color is slow or buggy. After all, I'll be doing all the maintenance and we don't live anywhere near each other. Can anyone answer some questions to help me out?

- How responsive is it running the rooted stock with something like LauncherPro, or Nookie Froyo or CM7? Are screen taps recognized most of the time and do apps trod or fly?

- Do apps crash much? There are posts talking about instability in all the non-standard ROMs and different launchers, but not many posts about the stability people have. Do they work well enough for a non-techie to use?

- Any reasons why he shouldn't use a Nook? I don't want to set it up for him and then spend all my time answering questions. He knows Android well enough as he has a Droid 2.

- Any other relevant questions you think I'm missing?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] boborone:
More experienced users could answer your questions better than I could. I'm just wondering what a luddite is.
[Nook Color General] SoFresh99:
I would think that once you have it set up for him if you had rooted it as 2.1 it would be fine, until the B&N 2.2 upgrade. Mine is not buggy nor crash-y. But you'd have to re-set him up after the upgrade.

I use 2.1 rooted, but have played around with froyo and CM7. I like that 2.1 maintains all of the barnes and noble functionality so I can buy and read books with the B&N interface just like stock. I can read magazines, etc.

I have a ton of apps and none crash, no tap lag but the corners of the screen are notoriously un-responsive. In fact I have had no issues with 2.1 rooted whatsoever and would never have known that this is not how it came out of the box.

No flash on 2.1 if that is an issue, but if he has a droid phone I wouldn't really call him a luddite. My MIL can't use a mouse or manage her digital camera- THAT is a luddite.

My biggest gripe is battery life and that is just crap. I have to keep turn wifi on and off when I want it to get more than a days worth of light use out of it. And even doing that I have to fully charge it every other day. That has been kind of an issue with me as this is a hybrid device, so I want it as a e-reader in bed and an android wifi device all day, so the only way for it to work for me is if I charge it on my bedstand everynight.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Stock root for now. When the update hits, he may well be happy with that. Sounds like there will be more app access then.

The touchscreen should be fine for him, as good or better than my Eris.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
This is the only thing I'd worry about. When the 2.2 update comes out you'll likely need physical access to the device to re-root it (assuming the 2.2 update doesn't create other issues oin rooted NC's).
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I have no stability or performance issues with CM7 + Launcher Pro. The stock kernal even supports moderate overclocking (about 15%), if desired.

The corners are not quite as sensitive to touch as the rest of the screen, but I certainly wouldn't rate it as unresponsive... It's fairly uncommon that mine doesn't register the first touch there.

One issue, depending on his vision, may be the small font sizes at the default pixel density settings. This can be remedied by increasing the value, but altering it can break some apps, causing them to render incorrectly.

You may want to wait for a non-development build of CM7 to arrive, however, as improvements are still appearing at a rapid pace.
[Nook Color General] HarleyChick:
I'm so glad someone else had the same first though! I looked it up on wikipedia:

"In modern usage, "Luddite" is a term describing those opposed to industrialisation, automation, computerisation or new technologies in general."

Sounds like a lot of people I know.....:)
[Nook Color General] FishDoc:
A tongue in cheek reply!!

Since I am a 78 year old former luddite, I feel qualified to offer some advice. I rooted my nook the first day I had it but became addicted and tried most every ROM available on this site. I really like CM7 but it still requires a bit of fiddling and it does seem very slow compared to the rooted stock. I,ve gone back to the rooted stock 2.1 for a number of reasons. First, I've got the Kindle app and most of my on-time is spent reading either BN or Kindle books. I do check for the grandkids e-mails a couple of times a day and that's about it. I have a basket full of 2GB microSDs with photos, audible books, etc, etc, and like the ease of changing to whatever I want. For my usage, the rooted stock is probably the best alternative. Of course I do have my andromeda 1.2 based Captivate for everything else I want to do. I don't think anyone knows for sure what will happen when (or if) B&N really does provide an OTA upgrade to 2.2. Maybe a rooted stock won't upgrade and if it does it may have to be rerooted. I still have CM7 on a micro SD just in case. By the way, I had three semesters of computerese in 1971--1974 while working on my PhD and my first computer was an instant hernia producing 40 pound "portable". To me it sounds like your dad would get along just fine if you'll just root it and introduce him to this marvelous website with it's great devs.

[Nook Color General] wpnyc2009:
Without question all '-ites' should get Nook Colors...

Troglodites, Mennonites, Frenchites, Americanites and of course my Luddite brothers and sisters as well...

But seriously, I told a newb friend of mine, who is very interested in Android, to get one and play with it. Many, many others and I all learned by playing around and making tons of mistakes and asking questions of others. Hands on is the way to go.

note: Google/search XDA with any questions before posting; otherwise you'll get scarcastic responses that won't be polite. :p

Good luck m8!
[Nook Color General] k8108:
I'm using the NC with 2.1 and absolutely love it. I have a lot of apps. love the B&N features, love the whole android experience I can get on the NC.

I'm a 52 year old grandma who has found a fun hobby learning to root her NC and load android on her HD2 phone. I figure if I can learn to do it, anyone can!

LauncherPro Plus is my launcher of choice. I have tried ADW and Zeam. I like the scrollable widgets, facebook widget and the many home screens with LP. LP works great on my NC.

I use my NC for staying organized (calendar, contacts and email - all synced to my google account), listening to podcasts (podtrapper), listening to audio books (Audible and local library), listening to favorite music (pro amp), keeping up with the news & blogs (pulse news reader, news and weather widget), facebook (launcherpro widgets), reading books and magazines (Nook and Kindle apps), crossword puzzles (shortyz + NC native), playing games, keeping cute pics of the grandkids to show off, lots of educational apps to play with the grandkids, etc. etc. How did I live without one ????

My screen gets buggy once in awhile, but it's usually after playing Angry Birds or something that is heavy on using resources. But I rarely get any force closes. You Tube does go wonky once in awhile, and I have had to clear cache once on my gmail, but install Titanuium Backup and walk him thru clearing the cache. Works. Every time.

My battery life is what I would call decent. A couple of days - depending on what I am doing. Even with wi-fi running in the background. I have never had a problem getting wi-fi to stay conncected. Battery lasts a lot longer on my NC than on my HD2 running android.

I walked my daughter thru the rooting process over the phone when she got her own NC. She not a 'techie' in any sense of the word. This was about 3 months ago and she hasn't had any problems with her NC and now she is another NC/Android convert.

All this boils down to my saying that I really think your 72 yo 'luddite' would really like the NC. And I think the NC should 'behave itself' enough for him to get good use out of it.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Ive got my hd2 coming back to me, i cant charge it the charger port has been completley ripped off from the main board, sent to a company in blackpool told me it cant be fixed, anyone know if htc would fix it under warranty if i can get winmo stock rom back on it???

or am i just going to have to stick to using a external charger
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As long as the company you sent it to did not mess up the void sticker on the bottom right screw under the battery cover you should be good. You just need to download the stock ROM for your HD2 and flash it via SD card as it will revert everything at once splash screen, SPL, radio version, and the ROM. Here is a link if you need to learn how to flash via SD card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681317

Edit: If you can not get it fixed under warranty. It is repairable but you will have to have the intior mainboard replaced as the USB port is attached to the mainboard.
[HD2 General] spyderman33:
VERY IMPORTANT : Flash back from Cotulla HSPL to the stock SPL... they will check this and blame you for having "ILLEGAL SOFTWARE" on the phone for the cause of all your problems and maybe even global warming..

I am telling you from experience.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
well its coming back from the shop today and he has emailed me saying it is covered by your warranty, lets just hope the warranty stickers are still in place
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Sadly I understand that it will be classed as user damage and will not be covered by the warranty (there has been a few posts on this over the last 8/9 months) HTC may offer to repair it at cost (of a new motherboard) itro £200 iirc :eek:
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Well HTC have told me on the blower today that it will be fixed under warranty as long as its not classed as user error so I think I no exactly what's coming to me lol
[HD2 General] indie:
I had the same thing happen to me. Cant charge the phone now so bought an extra battery and external charger. Sent it for repairs and they said it cant be fixed as it is ripped from the mainboard. In the end I got a new sealed hd2 from ebay for £220. As I use WP7 and android, couldn't bear not upgrading the wp7 rom when its out. Android would have been no probs as its the SD version. However could never use phone as mass storage etc etc through android. I have kept the old phone now as a spare just incase my new one breaks. HTC will see it as user error and will not fix it. Either use external charger and get a spare battery or buy a new phone
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
thanks for the info Indie

[EVO 4G General] spaziod:
Well... I pulled the trigger canceling my family account with FIVE phones, 3 evos and 2 epics. It took me a bloody four hours to restock the thunderbolts with apps but it looks well worth the trouble. Man I really hate leaving sprint after a decade but their bloody network is falling apart. My home is still not on their coverage map for ANYTHING.. we had to roam just to talk and data was useless. The thunderbolt appears a bit brighter than the evo and perhaps a tiny bit snappier... I am able to use my 8x8 voip app on verizon 3g that never worked on sprint...nice benefit. Five phone family plan it looks like will cost $35-$55 MORE each month than Sprint..however.. with Sprint I was paying for service I did not have..not just the 4g but basic voice! The evo was great when visiting Atlanta or Vegas but was still hampered by Sprint's network everywhere in between. Sense is updated a bit on the thunderbolt.. that is cool... and I must have been the only guy using the stock carbon fiber background because it is missing...

Pass on any Thunderbolt specific questions... I am far more loyal to HTC/android than to a carrier.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I hope you enjoy the TBOLTS :)

I am VERY close to pulling the same trigger.
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
Just curious, why would you stay with sprint for 10 years if your coverage sucked?
[EVO 4G General] wiltok:

[EVO 4G General] bronxknight28:

[EVO 4G General] Diamond_dawg:
Good decision but what made you keep it for a decade if their service was horrible?
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:

[EVO 4G General] jcaf77:
I returned my gtab yesterday I loved everything about sprint for the almost 30 days I had it but the dial up speeds are a deal breaker I am on tmo now and enjoying real 4g speeds it seems sprint is just ignoring network issues and obviously its making customers jump the ship... very sad
[EVO 4G General] admorris:
Man, if I had put up with them for ten years, I sure as hell would have waited a few more months and gone with one of the dual cores coming out.
[EVO 4G General] spaziod:
excellent question... I used to travel quite a bit and it really was not an issue... we have been in our home 15 years... BEFORE verizon purchased alltel our sprint phones would roam on the alltel tower behind my home and all was made for love... in fact.. it was blazing fast, voice was fine, etc. starting about twelve months ago data started crawling at 5k if at all... it was like 1990! My investigation apart from sprint's lame excuses led me to find that the alltel roaming agreements with sprint were no longer honored by Verizon as they had been in the past... in short, verizon would allow voice and email only as bandwidth is throttled so much that little else can be obtained.. then a few months after data dropped out voice started flaking out... remember.. ALL this is on roam as there is ZERO sprint coverage.. has always been zero sprint coverage at my home... so I guess it was Verizon's purchase of Alltel that killed Sprint for me.. I hope this answers your question... it has be a long and tortuous year as information from Sprint was not actionable.. they even sent me a free router type thing to boost my signal but after it failed to work they admitted even it would not work at my location since zero connectivity to any of their towers could be effected... originally Sprint support had said all I needed was dsl and it would work over that but then said it still had to contact a tower... there are only 4.5 million people in my state so I guess our market is too small for Sprint :eek:
[EVO 4G General] corynat:
I am curious about your plan and pricing. $35 -$55 difference per month is a lot less than I was able to calculate out when I was looking at switching to verizon. Can you share some of the plan details? I may need to revisit.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Welcome to the TB nation lol. Honestly if the data didnt get atrocious over the past few months I wouldnt have switched but pretty glad I did. I only pay about $20 more a month than I did with Sprint. Still have my sprint line for now though.. thinking I may put a tablet on it.
[EVO 4G General] spaziod:
I had a 22% "employee" discount with Sprint but that only applies to the base charge not the $10 4g penality nor the 19.95 or whatever it was for phones 3-5. Verizon is currently giving me 9% discount.. guess it works the same way... I will know for sure once I have the first invoice in 30 days or so..
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I cant speak for family plans, but for me it was pretty much like this.

Sprint

450 Minutes Everything Data 69.99

Premium Data 10.00

Tep 7.00

Total 86.99 + taxes a month

Free any mobile

I dont talk on the phone much, avg about 100 mins a month even WITH free nights, unlimited mobile etc

Thats with 4G I cant use

Verizon

450 Minutes Talk and Text 59.99

Unlimited Data (LTE Included) 29.99

Tep 6.99

Dont use visual voicemail, never have but its 1.99 on VZW.. ive always used Google Voice

Free calling to VZW customers (about 80% of which most people I talk to have)

Total 96.97 a month plus taxes

So on avg I pay about $10-20 a month more for my VZW line than I do with Sprint. Listening to people on here youd think id be paying $40-50 a month more per line but I dont. Thats why I dont get why people keep harping on the fact of how much more expensive VZW is when its really not even that much of a difference. For $10-20 more a month I get more coverage, faster data and a wider phone selection. It is what it is.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Individual lines sure, our family line with zerizon was 70 more per month.. and that was with one smart phone. We now all have smart phones. Big difference here.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
$120-$240 a year is significant. That's more than I pay for a years worth of Comcast internet.
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
There is a large difference for family plans unfortunately. I thought we were switching last summer till I started comparing numbers. What you have to take into account is that for a family plan VZW charges you the $30 data fee PER PHONE. Sprint charges that $30 data fee once for the entire family plan.

It adds up extremely quick.

And when you're in an area that gets just as good of Spring coverage as Verizon, it's kind of a no brain-er. Shoot, I'm posting off of the 4G wi-fi tether from my phone right now.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Enjoy your "unlimited" data while it lasts. You know it won't. Expect a premium data fee or 4g fee like the EVO had. Now all Sprint smartphones have it.
