first flash an eclair RUU of ur region. in 99% cases it will be successfully unrooted. even it shows errors, u can use the PC49IMG.ZIP process to unroot.

remember while unrooting with both the above processes, the HBOOT should not be downgraded.

if u make some version changing processes and try to downgrade HBOOT, then ur phone will have issues like touch screen problem, and etc. here the hboot may get downgraded with phone errors.

and if u dont make any version changing processes and try to downgrade the HBOOT, it just shows an error like it cannot be downgraded, without showing any phone issues.

so, do it correctly and u will finally get an unrooted device. now it will have warranty. if the problem persists, give it to a service center.

i expect the problem solves after unrooting.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
Thank you for all the helpful responses. It is a hardware problem for sure, the phone is now useless, the keyboard has a mind of its own and the top inch of the screen is dead. I'm now back using my Nokia.

Just to give an update on the service provided by "HTC Global Warranty".... ermm... it appears not to exist.

The support guy on the web ticket did his damnedest to get rid of the call anyway he could or make it someone else's responsibility after I'd went through the various resetting methods he suggested. He acknowledged it sounds like a hardware problem. He then suggested I send back to the UK (I'm in Bangkok) where the fix times is 10 days -- so with shipping time I'd be looking at a one month minimum. Or try another support number to help fix it or send it back to T mobile to see what they can do.

I asked about using a local repair centre -- no you can't because you bought from T mobile. I told him 99% of phones sold in the UK are provided by networks and that T mobile didn't manufacturer the device and purporting to have a "Global Warranty Service" given what he was offering is disingenuous or possibly illegal under trades and descriptions act . I requested to make a formal complaint and speak to a supervisor. I heard back as below -- hopefully they can make good on below promise.

-------------------------------------------

I would first like to say how I am sorry for the service which you have received from HTC, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and the service we provide and it is a disappointment to hear that in this instance we have failed you. I would like the opportunity to resolve your issue and hope that this does not deter your from using us in the future.

I understand that you are currently experiencing difficulties with global warranty process to repair your mobile device and you requested a call back from a manager.

I believe that the reason for this is because you have an exclusive product from T-mobile UK network and you live outside of Europe.

In order to rectify this I would like you to request the following:

Can I please ask for a telephone number and a time of which would be possible to call you during the day, that best suites you. Bare in mind of the time zone difference as we only work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (London time).

I will then pass this information onto the Care Team Manager for them to contact you back.

I hope that this information meets with your requirements. I will wait for your next communication.

It never came with Froyo -- it had 2.1 initially. I don't suppose it will matter if I put 2.2 on it now as long as it is an official ROM (I could well have done an over the air update).

After I rooted the device initially I backed up the 2.1 ROM first -- reverting back to this had no effect on the problem so I don't suppose un-rooting it is going to achieve anything as either ROM in little over four months never exhibited this behavior until now. But obviously an official ROM is necessary prior to it going in for repair (whatever form that takes).
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
I cannot load a stock ROM -- I chose the TMO UK one from suggested link and get below errors:

Prior to error it says I have version:

2.34.75.1

and proposes to replace with below but fails.

1.14.110.1

Error [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

Any ideas ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Read about a bit, and, it seems downgrading is not allowed. (2.37 -> 1.14).

Try this procedure out:

http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
Thanks 3xeno -- I'll give it a go.

Also if I managed to downgrade back to stock -- will the phone be locked back to T mobile network ? I use a local SIM where I am. I don't suppose it would be too much trouble unlocking it again.

This is so much aggravation -- I'm tempted to just go in and pay an HTC repair store to repair / replace the busted component seeing as HTC global warranty appears to be non existent.

If the "care manager" calls me back and repeats the canned responses already provided by their support desk about my device being a "special T mobile product" and I must send to the UK for repair I intend to cause an enormous stink and warn others that HTC provide "ZERO GLOBAL WARRANTY" (and looking in Google I won't be the first). There is nothing special about the phone form T mobile (or any other network provided phone other than branding) I paid for the phone in full by way of commitment to a 2 year contract and T mobile paid HTC in full for the unit -- that has failed in a little over four months.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It shouldn't. Was the phone locked initially when you got it? If so, how did you get it unlocked?

Also, I tend to agree with you on getting it repaired locally. It seems to be too much of a hassle to get the phone halfway across the globe to replace one component.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
It was locked yeah, but I paid for an unlock code online -- maybe it will still work if needed.

I followed your instructions thanks from previous URL, I've got rom.zip and copied to sd card and assumed I'd be able to install the normal way like other ROMS through clockwork but it doesn't work -- toggling unsigned doesn't help either.

Any ideas ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
More reading up. This is one topic which I dont have indepth knowledge about. :p

This should be applicable for the Wildfire as well. The only difference should be that the file should be renamed to pc49diag.zip instead of the code for the Hero as stated in that thread.

Be very careful in this process though. I would rather wait for advice from some senior member here confirm this before you attempt it.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
Thanks again. I may as well go ahead and try; I've got nothing to lose -- it is unusable with the top part of the screen not working. If I don't get it back to stock I have no warranty. The choices are a brick or a brick ;-)

I'll probably wait until tomorrow -- there are some phone repair shops around here and I'm told the shop I need to go to carries spare HTC parts. The Thai's are pretty much hands on and if they can diagnose and have the parts they will fix -- that includes the HTC repair centre (as long as I'm paying).

Quite possible I'll be buying a new device tomorrow from HTC directly. But before I do so I'm going to call HTC head office in Taiwan and get it on the record what exactly a "Global Warranty" means in HTC speak. I want to hear it from somebody other than a script reading support monkey in the UK or some retail chap where I am who will speak very limited English. The garbage excuse about "special network phone" should hold no water then if it fails within the warranty period. But I want a name and phone number and confirmation email before I shell out 4 or 500 quid on another potential paper weight.

Over the years I've had global warranty claims no problem from HP & IBM (now Lenovo) the last time being when an SSD drive failed in a laptop bought through a reseller in the UK -- no problem they sent and engineer to my house in Phuket who fitted a new drive within 72 hours of logging the call. It's getting to the point where these devices are more than just phones. They are as capable (almost) as a laptop and in the same price bracket as low to mid range laptops; therefore they should IMO carry the same level of after sales customer support.

I'd be very interested to know of other peoples warranty experiences with HTC. Maybe I'm an imbecile for even considering buying another one. Very frustrating; its been working like a dream right up until a few days ago and has been the best smartphone I've owned by a long way -- but if after sales service has all kinds of conditions attached to it; then buying another one is out of the question.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
They probably are not honouring your warranty because you got a subsidized phone from a network operator, which doesn't "really" belong to them. Maybe that is how they handle such cases. Not really sure about it because the concept of contracts by phone service providers is non existent here in India, but, I am pretty confident that if you had got a proper HTC Branded Wildfire, they would definitely have honoured your warranty.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
The thing is though just about all phones in the UK are provided by the networks and the subsidy for the most part is essentially bogus. Eg. you couldn't go and get an Iphone 4 for free because you took out a 15 quid month contract -- that would be a subsidized phone. They are 2 years minimum contract and start at £40 per month to get one for free. You have more than paid for the phone -- hardware vendor is paid in full and no doubt the network make a margin on the handset too.

A one month old article: (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-iphone lists the single cheapest monthly contract to get an Iphone 4 from tesco is £25 for a 12 month contract........ as long as you stump up £342. So the math is £40 for two years and the phone is free (give or take a few quid) That is not a subsidy by any definition of the word. Also think of the economies of scale the networks use to leverage better pricing -- 02, Vodafone, T-mobile etc aren't paying no 600 quid a unit like joe shmo has to for an Iphone 4. Corporate buying might when talking 10's / 100's of thousands of units can demand and most of the time get 40 to 50% off the RRP price. Networks & hardware vendors are doing very well whilst spinning this bulls**t line about subsidized phones -- off the back of which enables the likes of HTC to provide no global warranty. If HP, Lenovo, Nokia and many others can use local repair resources so can HTC -- but you know good customer service costs money and if the small print allows them to get away with they're happy to do so.

HTC "Global" Warranty:

DOES NOT EXIST !!!

I'll start a new thread about this also. I heard it from three authorised HTC resellers, and an official HTC store & HTC service centre in Bangkok MBK; all of which I visited today. The country you buy the phone in is the place which honors the warranty.

So in the UK they use the lie -- you bought from a network and not a stock handset direct from HTC; therefore it can only be repaired in the UK.

Then lie number two -- if you buy from us directly you get global warranty and can use local repair in the country you're in; absolute nonsense. If it was true I'd be playing with a brand new desire right now -- instead I have my 4 month old Wildfire to use as a beer mat whilst using my Nokia -- f***ing cheers HTC.
[Wildfire General] droidafx:
Still not able to get fresh stock T-mob ROM applied. So far I've tried:

1. Applying the stock T-mob ROM via cable and exe. program

2. Applying stock T-mob ROM renamed to PC49IMG.zip

3. Also tried applying an Asia stock HTC ROM via .exe program and cable (above method cannot be used -- this ROM extracts everything to numerous cabinet files and there is no ROM.zip)

All of the above result in errors relating to what's there being newer and failure to apply ROM.

I had a back up of the T-mob eclair ROM it came with which I took before applying custom Froyo ROM; so I reverted back to that and then tried the stock one again to make it vanilla and unrooted (in the hope it may correct faulty top part of screen) it but that didn't work and again complaines about what was there being newer.

It seems once you've gone forward there's no going back -- but that isn't consistent (I can recover using my back-ups back and forth between leaf Froyo ROM and Eclair ROM via nandroid restore.

I also put on a gingerbread Cyanogen mod to see if it would fix screen problem -- it didn't, so now back to T-Mob Eclair. I suppose I can go about unrooting now on the eclair ROM for the purposes of returning handset for warranty -- but I really wanted a flat vanilla stock ROM to see if cures screen problem, (I'm pretty sure it wont and it is a hardware problem).

Anybody got an idea of what else to try ?

thanks

The new app doesn't work unless you are on the March 2011 NoDo update. So unless until the cooks release the NoDo update for the HD2.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] darkwaxer:
Hello there!

How do you download and install this app? Thought you'd need to unlock with Chevron to do it?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] FlowerPotmen:
Chevron is not required with the nodo updates. Use with the latest rom updates. If you download it, you have to use Tom's XAP installer to install it.

Looks like you have never done this before?

FPM
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] darkwaxer:
That'll be right! I haven't unlocked my phone for developer access so I thought it was impossible to side load apps without this?

Where can I find the XAP installer?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] FlowerPotmen:
You can read all at this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912218

Before you use any program, you are better to look thru all the posts. You will find Toms installer in one of the forms. Read and learn.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] darkwaxer:
Thank you for the link, very much appreciated.

It mentions about unlocking with Chevron which from reading a few news sites MS have been bricking peoples phones when they have performed updates with Zune. It still a big issue?

I am not necessary looking to completely unlock the phone but definitely don't want to risk balls'ing the phone for homebrew apps. I have unbranded which I'm very satisfied with but I just want to be able to connect to my home wifi without broadcasting it. But seems I have to run the risk of playing with Chevron, unlocking, and registering as a dev with MS to simply load one app. I'll keep reading and consider my options.

Thanks again :)

I have created two videos showing how the U.S. Cellular Version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 can be unlocked for Free using OliPro's HSPL unlocker. The videos are approximately 30 minutes in length so you may want to also/either read instructions below. I was not able to get the Unlocker to work with my phone so I discovered the/this following method:

Download and install Olipro HSPL Unlocker. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578660

Download and install a stock Signed ROM from another carrier. I used Sprint version with the 1.96.00WF Radio (Check file name). The others are untested. You must install the Sprint Stock ROM With the Radio in order to change your radio. If you try to install the radio by itself from another link then your phone will be bricked into bootloader/tricolor and won't exit from that screen/menu until you reinstall the ROM, so you will need to install another carriers signed ROM it no matter what as far as I know in order to get a different Radio Version. My Radio Version from Stock U.S. Cellular was 2.18WV.

Download and install Mighty ROM. Make Sure you are in GSM Mode in Settings>Comm Manager>Phone>Networks Tab/Button. You Should now register to your SIM card's network.

You may also want/need to run:

Provision App.

&

XDA UC App.

Follow the instruction in the App. Make sure you click cancel when the restart option comes up after you provision because before you restart you need to run XDA UC. Make sure you have an internet connection to your phone. You can reverse tether with windows mobile device center if you don't have 3g and use the computers wired LAN if you neither have bluetooth or WIFI. Once XDA UC completes it will ask for restart. Can restart now.

Legal requirement now to unlock?

Does not the new bill recently signed into law by the Prez now require carriers to unlock their phones? I am looking at some TP Pro 2's on eBay from Sprint/Verizon that should be eligible for this (not under contract) under this new law as I understand it. Thinking I could have that done, and put my T-Mobile SIM in the phone to use on their network.

Despite all this, my phone will not boot, it displays only the M logo, then restarts again to view the M logo, and so on ... If anyone has an idea, I'm interested
