I ended up replacing mine. The demo unit at the store did the same thing, and mine had gotten to the point where the glass was raised a good 1/16th of an inch. Seems to be a common issue with the Inspires and Desire HD's. I ended up replacing it with an atrix.
[Desire HD General] equlizer:
Sure hope it doesnt happen with mine :( Its protected by the otterbox defender though so its always keeping pressure on the phone.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
Hi,

I've been doing some research on how to successfully flash my phone and put a custom rom on it. I have a Desire HD running 2.2. This is shown in the bootloader:

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.85.0007

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

And from About Phone, I got this:

Software number 1.37.771.3

Now from what I've learnt, I need to downgrade to a earlier version of the software, to 1.32. I looked online, and found that some people said if you used a specific way to turn security off, then certain things won't work.

On looking at some of the threads, some linked to this to turn it off:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

However, is this the best way to do it. I was going to use this webpage:

http://igyaan.in/2011/01/how-to-root-htc-desire-hd-included-downgrade-from-1-72-405-3-to-1-32/

However, when looking oat the CyanogenMod wiki page for the HTC Desire HD (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_HD:_Rooting), they was advising you not to use Visionary (Which the other guide does advise) and use BusyBox, Superuser and Temporary Root.

So, could someone please help. As I'm getting different advise all over.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Use the guides here in XDA. You will get the best support. Places like igyaan.in just copy our guides. So your first step is that radio s-off tool.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
Thanks. On the tool, it says it needs:

It will not work on 1.72.405.3 or higher build, or new radio (12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M is ok). Downgrade first!!

So as my software number is 1.37.771.3, should that work? My baseband version however is 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M, which while it says is ok, my baseband version has the letter U just after 140e, so what do I do.

Sorry if this has been answered multiple times before.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Of course it is ok, 1.37 is not 1.72 or higher than it. Use some logic, mate ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
What about the baseband version though? I understand it's nearly the same version, but as it has another letter in the version name, I thought I'd ask before I go ahead or not.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
baseband is completely independent from the Rom. There are only those that go "well" toghether and some that dont. But its different for everyone... so. Yeah, most rom cookers give you a recommendation on RadioRom (=Baseband). I'd go with that first. But you can do the Baseband changing stuff later.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
That baseband is ok for the tool.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
Hi, I tried using your tool. However on Visionary, I tried to temproot, then it restarted the HTC Sense launcher, then I relaunched Visionary and tried to attempt permroot, but it said I had to have a temproot first.

Any help? Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Try temprooting again. It might take a few tries.

I wonder what's the difference between models. Hope it's not hindering custom ROMs
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
thats not a bad price at all roughly 400 tablet and 150 USD for laptop dock. there was no option to buy just the 16gb? what were the incentives?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] popophobia:
The incentive is that the combo is supposed to cost SGD$898 when it's launched :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boqonx:
Got it at SGD$699 as well..actually all in all it's still slightly cheaper to pre-order here.

SGD$699 vs

US$399 + US$150 = US$550 = SGD$685 + 7% GST = SGD$733

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezman:
Is anyone else seeing a large amount of clock drift on their thunderbolts? I gain 122 seconds a day and 14 seconds at every boot according to ClockSync. ClockSync has been keeping my system clock corrected to date and I suppose that works but still, 2 min a day and 14 seconds at a reboot? That seems to be an awful lot.

So, is anyone else seeing this?

TB - Rooted, Das BAMF 1.4 but not OC'd.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
There's the actual time, there's Linux system time, there's the time kept by the RTC hardware, and there's cellular network time. They're all a bit different.

Clocksync is an NTP client, and tries to keep Linux system time in reasonable sync with external NTP servers, which should be in reasonable sync with the actual time (UTC). That's all on the order of milliseconds, if everything is working as it should.

CDMA and LTE network time is required to be in close sync with UTC, too - on the order of microseconds. This is a better source than a remote NTP server. In fact, some Stratum 1 NTP server get _their_ time from a CDMA network.

Most CDMA phones get their time from the network, and I suspect the TB does, too. I don't know if Android uses the kernel time discipline to keep the system time in sync with network time, I suspect it does.

I doubt Clocksync does anything good on a CDMA/LTE phone, the time received from the network is better, and probably being used to begin with. As I recall, GSM/UTMS base stations only need frequency accuracy, so Clocksync is probably useful there.

The difference you're seeing on boot is probably the difference between RTC time and system time, after the latter has been synched with network time. The RTC is only there to keep time when the device is powered off, so not much money is put into keeping it accurate. A CDMA/LTE phone is expected to be getting time from the network while in use.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezman:
So you're saying that I shouldn't be using ClockSync then as it's setting my system time different than the CDMA/LTE time my TB should be getting from the network? Or is it just redundant and unnecessary?

Also, I could see the RTC being 14 seconds off network time but once the phone is up and connected to the Verizon network, shouldn't it sync it's time with the CDMA/LTE time? Until I force ClockSync to update the system time, it remains 14 seconds off from NTP time, regardless of time since the phone booted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
It appears that Android may be setting system time to match GPS time. See the issue discussed at code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5485
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezman:
Huh, that's a good read. Seems that no only is Android setting the time to GPS time, but doing it incorrectly. I guess though, if I turn on my phone in a building where it can't get a GPS signal, will my phone sync the system time to GPS time next time it can see the sky?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xcoder_123:
Hey,

I recently bought this phone Huawei U8500, and I had a long search on the net where can I get a working recovery, finally I found a modified clockworkmod recovery.

It seems that this phone is highly unpopular.

I just wanted to share my finding.

Here you can download this modified version: Download

Steps to install recovery:

1. Download the clockworkmod

2. Unrar it somewhere on your computer

3. Turn off your phone

4. Press & Hold volume down key + call end (red) key and then press power key.

5. Launch the .bat file on your computer + connect your phone via USB

6. When it's finished, take out the battery and wait 5 seconds before putting it back in

7. Then you can access the recovery by holding volume up key + call(green) key

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

One thing I can recommend If your phones android build version doesn't end with "712", I suggest you to update it to the beta release, you'll have more functional dual-touch.

Here is the beta froyo update: Download

To install it:

1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.

2. Copy that "dload" filder to root of your SD card

3. turn off phone

4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again

5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.

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

In the Russian site I found some unofficial ROM's too.

I haven't tried them yes but if someone is willing here you can download them:

Firmware 2.2 29.01.2011 by Pavlo78

u8500_mao_rls7b2

u8500_mao_rls7++by_march_2

u8500_mao_rls8_by_march

u8500_mao_rls8_by_march

To install one of these ROM's do the following:

1. Copy the ZIP file on root of your SD card, the ZIP file, not RAR.

2. Boot up your phone in recovery mode (by holding volume up key + call(green) key)

3. With your optical trackpad select "Install zip from sd card"

4. From the list choose your ZIP file

5. And then just wait till the installation is complete and then just restart the phone!

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

I highly recommend you to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's

You can do that in recovery mode, just click on nandroid and follow the on screen instructions it will backup your current firmware + your currently installed apps.

I'm not responsible for bricking your phone, if something doesn't go well. By doing the things I wrote, you may void your phones warranty.

Don't forget to thank me :P

Kind regards

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ROBINGAZI:
This should be enough for all your stock rom needs.

http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8500

BTW: If you install the clockwordmod, you will lose the GP stock bootup screen (not the boot animation). So if you are going to claim warranty make sure you flash the GP firmware before you go to the GP centre.

Someone was asking how this phone is...the only issue I have is knowing that I'll never have flash on this thanks to the arm6 processor.

I don't know Chinese and google translate is incomprehensible. You should be able to find all the links needed in the cyanogenmod forum.

here is the link.

If i get out battery, take back, and standard Power On, the XP recognize the "Android Composite ADB" device, and bind the SD card, and CDROM image, and works perfectly.

but i can't upgrade in Standard Mode :(

Hi there,

I am debating if I should root my Atrix or not. I checked out few posts and they seem a bit complecated. Also, I found this article saying carriers will track down rooted devices and restricted services.

By the way, can I still install some of Motorola o/s for dock stations? I have a multimedia and a car dock.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...rooting-manufacturers-carriers.html#post65013

Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
No one will track you down and restrict you. And it's very safe to root.

Just for apps like Adfree which kills advertisements, this is reason enough for me to root! Not to mention super helpful things like customer recovery to back things up, the ability to sideload (install non-market apps if you're on AT&T), etc.

Android is quite open source but rooting opens up another amazing realm of extremely essential apps.
[Atrix 4G General] janggu:
I will take your word for it then! Just kidding. Would you be able recommend any good root techniques on the forum? I think there are few methods and am not sure which one is the best.

Thank you!
[Atrix 4G General] 12jewels:
I say root it. I rooted mine and i love it this way. I had mine for only two days before I rooted it. I was a little nervous at first and felt that i really didnt want to do it, but the benefits were too great with a rooted phone than without a rooted phone. I am on the AT&T network and i hate it when someone tries to tell me what I can't do with something I purchased. Trust me when i say that you are going to want software that is not in the market as well.

And... I really, really love the fact that I don't need to be docked to use my WebTop.

Again... i say root it.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Gladroot. It's the easiest and can enable tethering and sideloading as well.

You must be on 1.2.6 to root. You can run their first script which will root it. You can then do AT&T's download and run their second script which will root that too. BOOM!

It shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes. :cool:
