Cheers mate, thanks for the suggestions tonight.

I reckon you're right about needing the goldcard, though I wonder whether it wont be as simple as getting a copy of someone else's...

The procedures for creating the goldcard (getting you to use that ID number from your specific device) seem to suggest that the resulting file will be tied to your specific device... one created for someone else's phone might not work...

Anyway, talk more in the morning. Cheers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepp3lin:
Ok another suggestion. this one might work. Go to this link http://xdafil.es/index.php?path=DesireHD/RUU/

Download one of the RUU with a signed.exe file not the signed.zip

Charge your DHD more than 30% of Batt life.

1.Connect ur DHD to the pc using usb cable

2.Press the power button simulteneous with the volume button.

Windows will detect to install a driver but u cancel that.

3.Hold on a second and u got the HBOOT USB PLUG(Blue) menu.

4.Press the power button to choose FASTBOOT

5.You will be in FASTBOOT USB(Red) menu and below you got BOOTLOADER(Blue)

6.Double click that RUU.signed.exe file that you downloaded and follow the steps. Tick the box and click next aand next again till you reach the option UPDATE the current rom version.

7.Click it and it will update your DHD to the stock rom.

I cross my finger on this. It might not work, CHEERS!

If you can unpack pd98img.zip, you can see several img files: boot, recovery, system, radio,... It's a possibility to extract system.img to tools folder and try "fastboot flash system system.img"

I never try this but it wont be worse than what you have now
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Well it started well, the update ran for a few minutes, but eventually failed with "ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR". I was expecting this, because I have a branded vodafone-australia phone (CID VODAP021). As far as I know there isn't a published, signed, RUU file for this CID (I tried with the closest WWE update from the list).

UPDATE:

I've read that you can overcome the CID restriction, using the SuperCID method, but this requires root access and S-OFF (and a bootable phone!) to do -- I have none of these :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Hi zaq, yeah I've tried this already, also.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920876

This post links to some files, one of which contains system.img for the exact same phone as mine (same baseband, radio, software etc etc). But running "fastboot flash system system.img" returns the error:

sending 'system' (448253 KB)...
FAILED (remote: data length is too large)
finished. total time: 0.005s

Googling turns up that fastboot has a ~128MB size limit, and the system.img is 400+MB. Additionally, even if the filesize was ok, the following article suggests that it wont work (I'll get a permission denied error) because I do not have Engineering S-OFF.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot

Doh! So close...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zepp3lin:
It ran ok for a few minutes meaning if you can get a RUU for your branded vodafone-australia it will definitely work I think.

Other than that you need a goldcard to bypass the CID.

I think nothing else will work except for you to turn in your DHD to HTC Australia for reflashing and you got a valid reason because your DHD is not rooted and both S are ON.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yep seems like our earlier thoughts are confirmed. Unfortunate. But as I said earlier, at least warranty should cover it with No real evidence. Sorry I can't help any further, unless you have your carrier specific goldcard.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssuede:
Okay, thanks for your help everyone. I suppose warranty will take its sweet time... :(

If you know someone else with an android phone, you can make a goldcard with their phone. Iirc, The goldcard id is specific to the sd card, not the phone. But virtually the only devices that will let you read/write in the right place to create the gold card is android phones. Can't use a usb adapter etc.

HI,

I've read around a bit and I the root and custom rom procedure itself I think won't be any problems ..

But before I proceed I do have a few questions...

I'm pretty known with modding and playing around with devices it's firmware.. So I know it has risks

But when I do accidently brick my phone ... How likely is it I can debrick it ?? Or is any brick more likely to turn my phone into an expensive paperweight?

Also .. How easy is it to put back the stock rom and unroot my device in case I want to return the phone for any reason??

And final question .. I see a lot of custom roms around .. but I could'nt really find a page in which I can narrow down wich rom is best for me.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xtrema:
If you're used to messing with firmware then it shouldn't faze you too much.

As for bricking a phone, as long as you have CWM you should be able to boot to recovery and fix any issues.

All of your questions will be answered in the thread below as well as numerous 'how to guides'. Spend some time reading it:

Hi all. I have a htc desire hd rooted and s-off but brander and I tried to use rom manager without backup so I lost the stock rom and the coustom one pls help me to fix this
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enjoy!:
The furthest I have ever bricked it was getting it into a boot-loop... scared me for a moment!

But, it was easily fixed by pressing volume-down + on button and it would get me straight back into the CWM Recovery in which I could do a full wipe + flash a new rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty_ice:
Well there was this one guy who overwrote HBOOT with the kernel :P

But I believe that HTC repaired it under warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2000k:
Indeed .. I flashed the rom/ radio a few times now and rooted the sucker :P ..

ROM flashing went bad one time but I was just able to reflash ..

I see a lot of warnings to be careful with radio flashing ..

But if you were to flash a wrong or busted radio rom .. can't you just reflash it via the recovery menu ?? or does your phone become an expensive paper weight if you corrupt the rom ??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Flashing radios need Hboot Eng s-off, and bootloader is essentially the "bios" of the phone. If this partition becomes corrupted, depending on other circumstances, the phone maybe become unbootable...... This has happened to some recently, and the only option left was HTC.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2000k:
Ok but you can only brick it due corrupted roms..

So for instance in I flash Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 (unkown source)

And did the MD5 check ... I't unlikely I would brick my phone ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If the ROM is corrupted, your not likely to brick it, as your writing data to different partitions than the Radio. If your flashing a radio and checked the md5, best to do it from dc (battery, not plugged in) powered laptop. Don't want a power cut or surge, as your flashing to phone "bios" partition.

Edit: you'd also want to double check it's the correct radio for the phone.

I think a non-dev tutorial forum for how to do x on Android, how to do y on iOS etc will not only be great fodder, but allow people to up their thanks meter thing.

if the posts are made read-only to stop useless "thanks" posts, or questions, which could be pm'd to the user, and then they could edit the original post.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minsky82:
Hi all,

cause my HD2 was getting freeze, I decided to flash it again. After few attempts I am in phase, that I can´t successfully finish any ROM flashing.

I tried official ROMs 1.66.405.2, 1.66.479.2, 3.14.479.2 and also unofficial.

Now I have HSPL 3.03 and flashing always ends up with error mostly in 1% or more %, because of "communication error" or "image file corruption" or "old version of DFT". Flashing from SD card does not work, it goes directly in SPL window..

Phone is still under warranty, but I´m afraid they will refuse it due to installed HSPL.

Does exist some another app like TASK29 or low-level formatting tool?

Any idea what could I try? Can it be cause of corrupted flash memory?

Thanks.

Mira
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Don't freak out all is not lost you just hit a bump in the road. Did you reflash HSPL after trying to flash via SD card as flashing a official ROM via SD card will revert you back to SPL.

Yes run a Task 29 on your HD2 and make sure you right click it and run it as administrator. You have to have HSPL to run a Task 29 though so make sure you have HSPL before you run it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minsky82:
I have used HSPL4 app so at this time I have in phone 3.03 HSPL.

Flashing from SD card didn´t work, window with instruction does not appear.

With Task29 is the situation same. Mostly it does not finish successfully and fail after 19% due to reasons mentioned above. I have only one account in WinXP with admin rights, so this is ok I think.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Just to be sure here you copied the RUU_signed.nbh file to your SD card and renamed it LEOIMG.nbh and then powered your HD2 on while holding the volume down button down right? Just double checking is all, plus you might have to reformat your SD card using Fat 32 if you try it again and get the same results.

It does not matter if you have one or more admin accounts on your computer and it does not matter if you are using the admin account still right click it and run as admin trust me on this.

Also go to myphone.microsoft.com/getstarted and download and install the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center wich ever one you need according to what version of Windows your computer uses. I tell you to do this to make sure you have the latest USB drivers for your HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minsky82:
- yes I tried it exactly this way, they were 1GB and 4GB microSD formated as FAT32

- as I said, I do not have possibility run exe file as admin, however it was working fine in the past

- I´m using now latest version MS Activesync 4.5.0

still no change
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Try Googling for "Panasonic micro SD card formatting software" downloads and install it (it is free) and format your card with it. Sometimes the windows format utility just doesn't do the job. Then place the leoimg.nbh file on your SD card and try to flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mzone1510:
Well I did some testing with various different file formats and this is what I observed.

HD video (720p) plays fine if the video is encoded in MPEG-4 codec. (Container doesn't matter, but in my case it was .avi)

Now to the other part, HD (720p) or even regular resolution videos (doesn't matter what resolution) encoded in AVC (x264) on the other hand are not supported by the native video player, it throws up a message saying 'Sorry,this video cannot be played'. However the lower res videos can be played in Rockplayer but there is a slight (noticeable) lag between audio and video. The HD Videos on the other hand play in rockplayer but is un-watchable as the audio goes on but video lags far behind!

I looked around but could not find any mkv files encoded with mpeg-4 codec or any avi files encoded in AVC (x264) just to test them out.

Thus I have come to the conclusion atleast for now, that the I9003 does not play AVC/h264 out of the box in the native player and also is not powerful enough to do software decoding of HD files in Rockplayer. Its a damn shame to not be able to do this as even the x10 can do it quite easily, this is a ripoff by Samsung all the while they claiming that almost everything is identical between the I9000 and I9003 but clearly performance wise there seems to be a vast difference.

Basically it does not play videos like this one for example
