Little overpriced but there is only few cases on the market so I undestand that.

When there will be more sellers and more cases the prices will drop for sure.

As far as i'm aware 2degrees have said they are getting cases in stores in the coming weeks, although they have been saying that for the past month. I've only checked in with the wellington store. Maybe wait a week or two?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flipmodegr:
will the phone with a silicon case be able to fit New Leather Case For Huawei U8800 IDEOS X5 Black(ebay),or the soft pouch with android logo?also there are 2 kinds of silicone cases 1 thats normal silicone and the other one is like silicone and foam whats theyr dieference?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DMonkey:
The Nillkin case is not silicon but it fits very well, headphones and usb plug in with no problems and the edge around the screen sits up a bit so it helps to protect the screen as well. The case is still flexible and offers good protection should you drop your X5.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getbacker:
I need help on reverting my Desire HD back to stock.

For this I understand I need to flash stock ROM (RUU). In this case I need to flash RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which is the Indian version for DHD.

However, I am unable to find this RUU.

When installing a custom rom after having rooted my phone I did take a backup using rom manager. So I do have a backup of Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which I can restore ... but I will still have root.

Question: Is there a way to remove root after I restore the backup and also remove ClockworkMod's recovery?

If the above is possible I can then update my phone to the latest firmware from HTC which I guess is 1.84.720.3.

Please help..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
There's an unroot option in visinonary.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getbacker:
Yes there is... will try that and what about ClockworkMod's recovery? will that affect the OTA update that I try to apply after I use the unroot option?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Shouldn't do, I once tried something similar and everything was okay? The OTA's installed as they should. The problem is the RRU you require hasn't actually been released which is a shame as I would expect Shipped-Roms to have a copy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getbacker:
This is not the first time... I had a similar problem with HTC Hero, the Indian(Airtel base) rom was never released for download and when rooting the first time I did not take a backup of the original rom coz of which I was unable to update using the OTA.

So you saying I should go ahead with the unroot process and the OTA can then be applied? I really want to do this since I am flashing my phone every alternate day with a new rom released at XDA.. either 2.2.1 or 2.3.. need to stop doing that :) .. atleast for a few months till HTC releases a stable 2.3 sense rom for DHD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Yeah mate, just go ahead and unroot, you'll be fine :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smnrock:
Ota won't work if you have custom recovery!

LOADS OF THANKS TO HTC FOR THE LINK & andyharney FROM XDA FOR THE STEPS AFTER THE DOWNLOAD.

Thanks Guys, You need to put your phone into bootloader & flash.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getbacker:
vickyclewis.. thanks for the direct file download... will check it out once out of office.

Also the steps mentioned for flashing this.... I found the below in one of your post:

=====================================================

PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).

Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.

=====================================================

I guess you need to mention that the user has to get to the bootloader to install this...

Thanks once again.. :)

[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
As the title says, do not partition SD card using ClockworkMod or ROM Manager.​

There has been multiple bricked devices already, all after partitioning SD in CWM. The device suddenly turns off while the partitioning is in progress, and never turns on again. We do not know what causes this issue yet, but I am sure that ClockworkMod team will look into it.

Update:

Update 2:

Update 3:

New ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6 and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 are out! There has been multiple confirmations of the problem being fixed, but also ONE brick. So take the fix with a grain of salt.
[Desire HD Android Development] AdrianM:
Wow... Never used partitions on SDcard , but thanks for the warning.

I'm curious how the device bricked while partitioning SDCARD, though, as I don't see the connection!
[Desire HD Android Development] liorra3:
have another brick here from the same reason, be aware.
[Desire HD Android Development] leppie:
Easy, partition the wrong partition, iow the NAND/eMMC.
[Desire HD Android Development] deepred86:
does anybody know if it affects other devices also?
[Desire HD Android Development] therealnoob:
HOLY SHT!!!!!!!

I partitioned my sdcard thru Clockword recovery 3 months ago back then with 2.5.0.7 htc desire

it hung for 1 hour so i pulled the battery but it was paritioned rite phewwwwww..

Cant imagine if i had a bricked phone now,would prolly pee on my pants....
[Desire HD Android Development] tahiriqbal:
Darn it. I was thinking about partitioning my SDCard today but postponed it. Thanks for the information.

Are there any other known issues that the CWM might cause to the device? Last year, when I had HTC Dream, I remember reading in forums at Cyanogen that some people didn't recommend using ROM Manager. I don't know what issues it used to cause because I used Amon_Ra back then.

Anyways, thanks for the information. I won't partition the SDCard using CWM.
[Desire HD Android Development] M_T_M:
Ok............

This thread has been stickied by me in order to inform everybody about this situation.

Do report if you have gone through this problem only...no more thanks or OT chatter, please.

Please be patient and do not pollute this thread ;)

Bricked DHD

Hi There,

Had this a few days ago.

the device is indeed completely bricked, no matter what you do.

Luckily for me my HTC DHD was only 10 days old, so i went to the store and after inspection theyt gave me a new one. I must be very lucky i guess.

Thanks for the warning nevertheless.
[Desire HD Android Development] kilavuz:
hello. I have the same problem. it goes in the black this afternoon before I have read the forum. Is there any thing i can do to get the phone alive again. : ((
[Desire HD Android Development] Sharro:
All versions of CWM ? Or is it specific to a version ?

All the best,

Sharro
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
We do not exactly know at this point. At least 3.0.2.5 has the problem.

There is nothing you can do to fix a brick. That is why it is called a brick.
[Desire HD Android Development] oluwaponmile:
I believe you can still return it for manufacturer warranty. HTC phones has at least one year manufacturer. Just say to them you turn on your phone and it couldn't turn on....simplesssss

Other solution

Hi guys,

I've also read somewhere, last november I think, that partitioning could be problematic. So I looked up on the internet and can recommand you what I use to partition my SDHC cards: Paragon partition manager 11 free , I used it on Win XP 32 bits without any problem with my 16gb and with my 3 other 8gb SDHC.

link: here

f.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chriss1983:
Thanks

Thanks for the warning, yesterday I had considered to partition my SD ..
[Desire HD Android Development] 2-die-4:
best would be to partition SD's via PC and to disable the partitioningfunction for the next update. I'd be bad if someone uses it again.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Yep. I contacted Koush about this issue, so hopefully we get a fix (someone dare to try..? :eek:) or it gets disabled.
[Desire HD Android Development] KeyperOS:
I heard this from a customer so take this with a grain of salt but he told me he was an Android Developer and had heard of an interesting "trick" concerning all HTC Android phones.

These phones apparently have a SECONDARY bootloader that is completely hidden and disabled by default and that all those phones are HARDCODED to immediately enter into it the moment they get connected to a specific USB cable.

The guy was looking for the cheapest possible, well, item really, to buy and then proceed to cannibalize as a test to its' validity (he bought an old Motorola handsfree) so it seems he wasn't sure of it either.

Apparently what needs to be done is that the PLUG needs to be completely stripped and either two resistors or two capacitors (I forget which) of specific values need to be soldered to two specific lungs of the plug.

I am sorry I am being this vague but that was all the information I got from him in the matter of the couple of minutes it took him to buy the handsfree.

Perhaps there's sth to be looked into by some people better equipped than I?

EDIT: On second thought, it makes more sense if what he said was to solder A resistor/capacitor to TWO specific lugs of the plug, perhaps?

I kinda remember him saying that the plug itself doesn't even really need to lead to anywhere but it's more like the means to connecting the resistor/capacitor to those two lugs...

He also said that that's how HTC themselves un-brick bricked phones. He didn't appear to be talking just for Dev phones either.

I am sorry I really do not know any details.
[Desire HD Android Development] guanakito100:
I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but there is a video on youtube about thus set up. I cant remember the name of the video but search (how to unbrick) whatever your phone is; you should find a vidoe on it or search how to unbrick a Samsung captivate. You are sure to find it that way...
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
What?

I don´t understand a word!

What are you trying to say?
[Desire HD Android Development] Siru5:
Think he is just trying to say that there are ways to unbrick your phone. And that 'you tube' may have videos on how to do it.

My device Bricked

My samsung vibrant was bricked because of that piece of crap partition sd card option in the rom manager, I had to Odin my phone to the Eugene froyo then install a CWR form voodoo's website and then flash a ROM and then restore my backup to get it running. It wasted an entire day, but i got it running in the end. There was alot of misinformation and a ****ing MBR checksum error that really made me pull my hair...but at the end of the day i got it working. and i am never NEVER using that rom manager again
[Desire HD Android Development] jamina1:
I was trying to partition the external SD card and it partitioned the Internal one instead. Now my phone is basically reset, and all my apps are gone.

Thank god for Titanium backup, but now my internal storage is 4gb smaller and there's nothing I can do to get it back.
[Desire HD Android Development] elreymon:
After partitioning it´s logic to loose data. But partitioning is a reversible process. I mean, from the recovery console you should be able to repartition again your interna memory to it´s original state. But, as I said, from the console and typing commands by yourself.
[Desire HD Android Development] r0sc0sco:
Hi guys,

I used clockwork to partition my SD card, it hasnt effected my phone just the card itself its no longer working! iv tried it in a camera, laptop, card reader, and nothing! anyone got any suggestions, iv also tried adb shell etc etc and it wont find the card at all! really do not need any information off this card. simply for it to work again would be great.

any ideas please comment!

Simply format your SD card. You can do it with any PC whit card-reader.

i have CWM 4.0.0.5 installed on my galaxy Fit and successfully partitioned my SD card....and moved apps to Ext partition...so don't worry guys...

see that you have the right version of CWM installed on your phone...

the procedure i followed is ---

1. Reboot your device into CWM

2. Go to Advance>>Partition SD Card option and select the size of Ext partition (it depends on you...options are 128MB,256MB,512MB,1024 MB) i have selected 512MB for partitioning my 2GB card..

3. after that select swap partition size as 0 Mb.

it will take 1 min or 2...don't panic...

4. [Optional] Format your sd-ext from mounts and storage>>fromat /sd-ext option in CWM recovery. (it will be better to do this step ) i have done it.

5.after that reboot your device...and move your apps by using A2SDGUI app successfully

press thanks if i helped you

[Desire HD Android Development] LinoX:
Thanks for the warning...but.....

Why should someone partition the sd card?

What are the advantages?

Can't figure it out....
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
There is no real reason. It is just a habit from older devices, some people used to apps 2 sd function (which needs partitioning) in ROMs.
[Desire HD Android Development] LinoX:
thanks for the explanation:)
[Desire HD Android Development] dcrews:
The Captivate has something similar.. People started selling dongles that could un-brick most devices, so it wouldn't suprise me if HTC did the same thing.

Either that or your customer has a captivate :P

Bricked Desire HD. Won't Turn on! I'm soo sad. It never occurred to be that this could happen... The moment I learned that my phone won't turn on I checked in this forum and there it was. There's a warning. Does anyone has a fix for this already? This is my only phone... The worst part is that its Holy Week here in the Philippines so all stores are closed till Saturday.
[Desire HD Android Development] Squalli:
My DHD is bricked also, i checked my sdcard after the process and it wasnt partitioned, so i guess there are some errors inside clockworkmod-code which partition the internal nand and not the external sdcard. I used gparted now to format my sdcard attached to my pc, so i'm atleast sure i don't screw my phone again. Lucky i can use my X10i still.. ^^
[Desire HD Android Development] caanda45:
So I use apps 2 sd card to put my apps on the sd card pro (paid), should I run far and as fast away from this app and delete it? Please advise!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] nobnut:
You are ok. The problem only exists when someone wants to create a NEW partition on their SD card using CWM. If you already have a partition, or simply move apps to sd (without a partition), you are fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doktaphex:
I recall from when the Desire HD first came out that the eMMC is at a funky address, when we were all trying to make Goldcards and such like, before root was achieved. Most likely the code in CWM is trying to partition eMMC like folk have already said.

I also recall that in the spec sheet for the eMMC something was written about the fact that due to the way the eMMC is initially partitioned it can never be partitioned again. Something to do with the manufacturer choosing between 2GB and 4GB and faster writes or more stability, so theoretically even if you were to take the phone apart to try to correctly re-partition the eMMC (don't know if that would even be possible anyway) you would still not be able to.

I hope that this all makes sense, I just woke up.

P.S. I can't wait to get my DHD back from HTC, it's been with them now for 2 weeks and I have my stupid old iPhone 3G to have to deal with.
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
Well maybe it cannot be partitioned to new partition table (I am not sure, but it would need hboot mod at least), but it can be wiped completely clean, and that is the problem :rolleyes:

Still no answer from Koush about this. Something has to be done fast, we have already 10 000 dollars worth of bricks :mad: Who's gonna pay? Well, HTC will repair them. Anyway..
[Desire HD Android Development] HajimeSaitoh:

[Desire HD Android Development] MegaHz:

another bricked phone here..

any ideas?
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
My idea. Disable SD partitioning and push a new CWM as fast as you can. Then start investigating the issue. Anyway, it is great that you are now aware of this.

New bricks are coming every day.
[Desire HD Android Development] MegaHz:
any idea of recovering?

when i bricked an old htc touch , there was a linux tool that was forcing recovery through usb..
[Desire HD Android Development] jkoljo:
No idea about recovering. There are a few approaches that may be worth looking into, but with current knowledge, you should just send your phone to HTC.
