are the cards from the same brand and same class?

i also have the problem with a Sandisk 8gb class2 card. maybe we should start to collect data on the cards that work and dont work, maybe there is a pattern to the whole thing.

i created a form to make it easier to collect the data:D

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
How did you format it? In the phone? People claim to have solved this by formatting it with 32K sectors/clusters. Formatting it in the phone will do this.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
Have you tried the 32k formating? Or do you not have the mounting problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Sorry, never had the mounting problem myself, that's why I said people claim it works. I do have a card formatted with 32K sectors though.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
i reformated the SD card but there is no option for a 32k, there is only a 32mb for the swap... also in CWM is no option to set the partition sizes... so what exactly is this 32k thing you are talking about?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
1) If you format the card from the regular phone menu (NOT CWM), it will automatically be formatted with 32K sectors.

2) If you format the card in Windows, you'll get to choose which sector size you want.

3) If you format the card from CWM, I have no idea what you get.

4) To check which sector size a card has, mount it as a drive in windows and run "chkdsk <DRIVELETTER>:" from a command line.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
1. oh totaly forgot about the regular formating, gona give that a try later...

3. i formated with CWM and got these results in the picture. which one should be 32k?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The third line from the bottom. Now it shows 4096 bytes, in other words 4K, which has been theorized to cause trouble.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
ok... so i tried to format the card but it doesnt do anything. maybe thats a problem with CM7?

might it be possible to format the card when i connect it as drive to my computer?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Could very well be, I've never tried formatting in CM7, so wouldn't know if it works or not. But yes, formatting the card while connected to the computer should work fine.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
ok i gona try to format it that way then:O

EDIT: just tried to format with the device defaults and run a chkdsk again and that 4k again. set it manually to 32k and checked again with chkdsk and its not set to 32k. so im gona test if the card gets mounted now when rebooting.

will report back when i rebooted enough to see if it works or not.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
that did not work... im not sure but i think CM7 uses ext2 or ext3 format which has a max cluster size of 4k and fat32 has a 32k size which is probably used by the stock rom...

so formating back since that solution did not work.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Er...ok. You are confusing the internal formats with the sdcard I think. SDcards, for portability, are formatted with FAT (<= 2GB) or FAT32. CM7 and stock read that just fine. You have to have very special needs for the card to be formatted as ext3. This, of course, also means you'll be unable to reach your card from a windows PC, as that cannot read ext3. Anyway, it's your card, do as you wish.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
oh ok seems im really a bit confused there:O however formating it with 32k FAT32 did not help with the mounting problem... thanks for the help

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuroEdge:
I have a SetCPU profile set for when my Fascinate's screen is off. Is it okay to leave the min/max clock speeds at 100MHz?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allcity187:
From what I heard and experience set profiles are not recommended for our phones. When I use to set my phone to 100 mhz, my phone would not want to wake up. I would have to do a battery pull to wake it up. I would recommend to not set profiles. I have a oc kernel so i use set cpu to under clock or over clock the cpu.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuroEdge:
I have just experienced this. I am now wondering how does the SmartAss cpu governor work on the source based kernel linked in the SuperClean thread?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erestor6:
Hi guys,

As jigners did in his "Task 29 with Radio 2.15.50.14", for long time, I thought to create a similar thing to decrease the time used to flash a rom, but I'm not capable and I beg you to create what I am going to describe.

The idea is to create two different versions and keep them constantly updated:

Version A) Task 29 + radio 2.15.50.14 + the latest version of Magdrl

Version B) Task 29 + radio 2.15.50.14 + the latest version of the clk bootloader

The ideal thing would be simply to create a "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" that can flash two files:

Version A) Your file .nbh (Task 29 + Radio 2.15) + magldr.nbh (that we choose)

Version B) Your file .nbh (Task 29 + Radio 2.15) + clk.nbh (that we choose)

This will solve the problem with clK bootloader, because we have to flash a different clk in relation to the size of file system of different roms.

What do you think?

I hope you consider my idea because I believe that it is useful to everyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] D.O.C:
Nice one, u can even go further on clk project by adding fastboot with simple cmd scripts.....u can go the hole nine yards with it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Good idea but this topic doesnt belong here. This is a discussion not a dev project.

Needs to be in General/Q&A.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcfreak:
+1

But I suggest

Version 1) task29+MAGLDR+CMR

Version 2) task29+clk+CMR

RADIO need not be refaslhed again & again

I suggest something like flashaholic that was released for flashing WinMO roms along with the task29
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tidus18:
I was under the impression task29 actually wipes everything including radio. Which means the phone will be stuck at white HTC logo screen if you try to boot it after task29.:confused::confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcfreak:
Nup, if I am rite task29 will not wipe your radio but only the partition which contains the OS files..!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehustler:
You are right. Task 29 does not format the radio. It only formats the OS files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
I thought that task 29 also flashes the radio and then performs the wipe and reformatting of your OS partition. This is right from the OP of the Task 29 thread.

This means you can not flash the .nbh it would take to flash either MAGLDR or clK as it flashes the .nbh file first then preforms the Task 29. So if you did flash MAGLDR or clK it would immediately get wiped. You can not flash a .nbh file after the Task 29 as you can only flash one .nbh file per flash or at least that is how I understand it, but please someone correct me if I am wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pixine786:
Task29 does not touch your radio.

on the other note this can be in General Q/A section
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scariola:
Just a thought

What if the task29 with integrated radio 2.15 flash's ruu_signed.nbh was replaced with that of magldr.nbh??(renamed of course)

Anyone got the nerves to try? (I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE!:D)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
It would not work as I said in my first post it flashes the .nbh file first then preforms the task 29. So it would just wipe MAGLDR right back off of the HD2 after flashing it to the HD2. Task 29 does not touch the radio or splash screen partitions on the NAND chip. Task 29 only wipes and reformates the ROM partition of the NAND chip and this is where MAGLDR and cLK are at when you flash them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erestor6:
It's true. I think that a version that first flash task29 (or task29+radio) and than magdrl or clk is possible to do.

Following the standard procedure

1. We flash first task29

2. We have to pay attention to press vol down button, and keep it pressed until the phone reboot to the three color bootloader when update status reach 99% and then.

3.When our phone is back to RVB bootloader screen, we have to flash magdrl or clk.

Should add that we have, also, to pay attention because "if we fail to press vol down key and our phone get stuck on the white screen, we have to remove our battery, then try again: press power, and keep vol down pressed immediatly next, until the phone get to RVB bootloader"

Instead, thanks to my idea, we could make only one flash, leaving the process ends without touching the phone, which will start automatically in magdrl (or CLK).

Just make sure that the romupgradeutility.exe install first task29.nbh and then magdrl.nbh and we would have wiped memory with magdrl already installed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kameirus:
an android flashaholic version would be awesome
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krook6023:
If you are not familiar with it take a look at appelflap's [APP] Flashaholic Rom Update Utility v1.1 app.

I wonder is the ROMUpdateUtility.exe found in the MAGLDR 1.13 package the standard UpdateUtility used to flash normal Windows Mobile 6.5 roms?

P.S. Task29 does not touch the radio unless you include a radio in the package. Remember that Task29 still needs somthing to flash I always used a splash screen instead...so the radio would remain untouched.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
I know you are trying to contribute here my friend but please go and read the Task 29 thread, and I mean read it not just the OP. what you are describing is exactly what the RUU does when you flash a ROM, MAGLDR, or cLK. It first wipes the current ROM from NAND and then flashes the new ROM. This is why Task 29 was so significant as it runs after the flash of the .nbh, this is also why you can not flash a ROM using Tas 29 as it would wipe the ROM and reformat the NAND right after it flashed it.

Go check out post #35 of the Task 29 thread.

Also check this post that was linked in the TASK 29 thread from another thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] XsceneXhippieX:
It seems to me that he isnt trying to do the impossible like you are refering to, to my understanding he is saying he has a dream of a program (RUU i guess he refers to) that will run the task 29, and after the process of flashing the .nbh AND the wipe/reformat done by task 29 for a script to flash magldr or clk immediately afterwards, one smooth process of a program taking 2 commands: flash task29, then only after that command is confirmed to be completed, flash either magldr or clk

almost an if .... then ..... statement in coding stating if: task29 completes the wipe of nand Then: flash either magldr or clk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I will try this again,(did you even click on the links I provided?) the official ROM Update Utility (RUU) performs a Task 28 which wipes and formats the NAND memory before flashing the .nbh.This is why people use to suggest for people to flash an official ROM every once and a while so they could clean and reformat the NAND memory as costume ROMs at that time did not run a Task 28 before flash cause they used a Custom RUU. Then cam MTTY and people no longer needed to flash a official ROM to clean and format the NAND memory because MTTY had TASK 29. There is some debate whether Task 29 is as good as Task 28 or vise ah versa. But I am not arguing this. But now ROM chefs can use the above mentioned Flashaholic ROM Update Utility (FRUU) that runs a Task 29 before flashing the .nbh just like the official RUU but it uses Task 29 and not Task 28. Do you get it know. Research does wonders.

Now you can see what was mentioned above already exist the only thing that needs to be don is figure out how to flash MAGLDR or cLK plus CWM Recovery at the same time, but this is going to be hard as CWM Recovery is not in the .nbh file format.

[HD2 General] kidcash:
Hello,

Basically at first, my HD2 had a problem with voice reception on other end, sent it to Hong Kong for Warranty, came back with reception good but device constantly restarting, turns out it needed a new Board, send it back to HK for a New Board, came back with a New board.

And now the Phone does not work.

I have tried the following official ROMS :

_HTC

HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07

.51.22_2_Ship - "X" on the phone icon, cant detect sim at all, will

not let me turn Phone on with wireless controls

_HTC

HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LE

O_S_Ship

"Operation failed" while trying to make a call.

I have tried custom Roms, the current one I am using is the Maelus ROM, 3.2.2

And details on my boot up are :

2.08.50 05

15 34 50 07u

3.14 04666 8G

I even tried Task29 before flashing to the Maelus ROM.

It just doesn't let me turn my Phone on, whenever I go into the settings, and the phone is off, and I tap it, the little progress swirly thing appears in the middle of the screen, then stops and the phone does not go to the "ON" position.

With all those 3 roms I've tried (2 of the official HK ones from HTC Website), and also the Maelus custom rom, I cannot get the Phone to work.

It only worked once when i got the phone back on a good reception area, but now here I can't even actually turn the phone on.

Could anybody Reccomend me a Custom ROM + Radio Version to switch to, i don't know if the official ones didn't work I don't know what to do.

at the moment I got Maelus ROM on with the radio 2.08.50 05, I'm going to upgrade the radio to a slightly newer one to see if that helps. my HTC is on charge at the moment.

Has anybody experienced this issue before, and know any fix? I'm willing to try anything.

Thanks.

EDIT - Actually the Phone does turn on, e.g I can slide the slider on the options to "ON", but it does not pick up the carrier/provider or get any signal, any suggestions welcome.
[HD2 General] Boradan:
time to return it again. Just make sure to put on a stock rom/radio/spl before you do so
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Trying a newer radio is all you can do as far as software goes as the radio is the software side of what controls reception on your phone. Go to the HTC HD2 Master Radio Thread and download the newer versions of radios. There is eight radio versions newer than the one you have so I would just start at the Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.19_2 and work my way up to the Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**. If none of the eight radios solve your issue than download the official stock ROM for your HD2 from HTC. com using your serial number from your HD2 to confirm it is the ROM for your HD2 and the go to the Flash your ROM/Radio via microSD thread to learn how to flash it via SD card so you will be reverted back to complete stock ROM, SPL, radio, and Splash screen. Then send it back for further repairs as it is no more you can do software wise. Good luck hope you get your HD2 working properly again.
[HD2 General] kidcash:
Thanks for the reply.

I really don't know what to do other than try different radios, it seems that the people in Hong Kong that work for HTC don't know how to repair phones, it's been returned to me from warranty twice with defects that weren't present in the first place. They fix one defect and it comes back with another.

It seems to not get any signal in some areas where previously it would e.g in lower signal suburbs it gets NO SIGNAL at all, i'm wondering if there is some aerial unit that they forgot to plug in on the board or something, or is it all integrated.

It's so annoying as they want me to pay them to send it back, so I use about $60 to and from every time, and it's about a 3-4 month wait every time. I don't know if I should request they just give me a whole new phone because nothing seems to be right.

I think the SPL program by Cotulla now has the option to put a factory SPL back on.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Wow that is crap man! It cost you 60 bucks to ship it to them and then 3 to 4 months before you get it back, that is totally unacceptable to me. I would most definitely request a replacement if I was you and tell them that you want the phone shipped to you with return shipping already paid so all you have to do is ship them your current HD2 back to them after you have received the replacement HD2. If you have had to wait that long and pay 60 bucks twice then I feel like you are entitled to a replacement HD2 as they twice have not returned a working HD2 to you.

Yes the HSPL utility by Cotulla does allow you to revert back to a factory SPL, but I suggest you use the SD card flashing method as it insures that you install the correct SPL for the ROM you flash, unless you know the correct SPL you had befor flashing any ROM to your HD2, this is the easiest eway of reverting your HD2 to total stock. One process vs two processes if you flash the ROM via USB.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The radio isn't the problem, if your issue was reception, or battery drain, then yea, it could be the radio, but the symptoms you describe can't be radio version related.

I'd be screaming @ the repair shop that sent you back a defective unit.
[HD2 General] TKETZ196:
I do have an question from a friend of mine wondering about this: If he got an HTC HD2 T-Mobile version (unlocked), and he want to use the 3G AT&T bands (he is currently under their contract), is there a radio file he can use to unlock the bands so he can use the 3G network rather be stuck on EDGE? Also this is proven not to brick the device (a radio version that users on this site are using themselves to make this possible)?

If so, can someone point me in the right direction on acquiring the file? The device already has the HardSPL installed and it is running a cutomized Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ROM image (I did this for him so he can have the better ROM than the stock T-Mobile version). The SIM is unlocked as he is using it on AT&T but he is only on EDGE for now. Thank You very much :)
[HD2 General] orangekid:
can can not use ATT 3G bands on a tmobile HD2, it doesn't have the hardware to support it.
[HD2 General] kidcash:
Hi,

Well an update, I took the phone to a local repair shop, and surprise surprise, the antenna wasn't even connected, it was broken in half the antenna clip, so I had to pay $200 to get that fixed....... the signal is good, but at times it will drop out, whether the initial breakage of the antenna caused it to be not so good even when repaired I don't know, they put a whole new antenna in though, maybe the refurbished board that HTC HK Put in (The repair guy said they use Refurb boards), is causing the problem.

So HTC is a slack company, that can't employ people to properly repair their phones, just putting it out there. They say they can't replace the phone.

I am thinking of selling this one and getting a T-Mobile one (I am in Australia), is there any advantage of getting a T-Mobile other than the added 1024mb Memory? Does it have better signal or run faster? I want another HD2 so wondering which flavor I should get if it comes to that.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] TKETZ196:
Hi. I am not sure that the 1024 is limted on other devices if you hack the Bootloader and put in a different ROM version. I believe the official ROM for the devices native to your country locks out the remaining ROM space, as it may do with the amount of RAM as well. I would have to look that up. I assume that most HTC HD2 handsets would be built generally the same (with the exception of the GSM chip as I have been informed).

The T-Mobile version, i believe will not allow you to use the 3G bands in your country if you are using Telstra Wireless (unless it uses the 1700 mhz spectrum as well as the 850 for its 3G). In the USA the equivolent would be AT&T and i have also been informed that the T-Mobile version HD2 will not pick up the band, no matter what you may try to do (like flashing the radio firmware).
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As you live in Australia I suggest you get a Telstra HD2 if 3G is important to you. If not go for the T-Mobile HD2 it is great, but then again I have never used any other HD2.
[Focus General] MRWRANGLERS1:
is there a way , other than market place to install apps on the samsung focus with wp7. Im an avid win movile 6.5 + fan and am very new to wp7 . I dont like the aps there and see there are several coming out on here.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
You can either pay Microsoft ($99/yr) for a Dev license that can dev unlock up to 5 phones or use Chevron unlock to jailbreak your phone.

Since majority of the WP7s will still be locked, I don't see any trend for ppl to publish apps outside of App Market. Sure, you can find a few tweeks out there, but that's about it. A secondary app market probably will never happen.
[Thunderbolt General] howtodoo?:
One would think by now, that after HTC put out the evo and other large screen devices they would have better batteries. Also not to mention the thunderbolts delayed release. No we waste more on extended batteries, and have no cases to protect the dam thing. I've tried all the tips out there for tweaking the battery to get max use and it still sucks. I'm still in my 14 day trail period and I'm thinking of bringing it back. I'm just pIssed companies have the nerve to do this BS!
[Thunderbolt General] hammer4203:
Well take it back then. Try a blackberry out. Oh yeah those things have even worse batteries and the bis always fails.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
First off I get plenty fine battery for a phone as fast as this with LTE. The large, bright screen is just a bonus. If you are getting bad battery you have yourself to blame if you would read these forums as almost everyone here is getting great battery life.

Also, your battery size complaint is terrible, the droid X has almost the same battery and runs fine as well. The LTE right now is the killer, verizon has admitted it so either switch to 4g or 3g only and stop flooding the boards with this crap.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
I make it through the day no problem, and with LTE on. First few days were terrible, but things seem to have improved drastically since then.
[Thunderbolt General] SoDev:
Take it back. Threads like this show that it's not for everyone.

Example - I have a car dock, I commute, I work on a comp. all day, easy enough to charge at home. I've never had this battery life issue everyone is talking about.
[Thunderbolt General] mojonation1487:
uhhhhhh what? The majority says the battery sucks. Where have you been?
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I have read WAY more posts about good battery life than I have bad. Where have you been? Yes, there are occasional posts about it but the vast majority after a little bit of tinkering have said good battery life.

My personal experience.

Took my phone off the charger at 96%. Used the GPS on a hour drive, sending texts and listening to music the whole way. Ate some dinner while continuing to send texts. Went to a hockey game and took ~30 Pics. Used the GPS to get back home with music and finally put the phone back on the charger. Time off charger 7 hours. Battery percentage 82%. Only 14% decrease with what I would say is some pretty moderate use.
