[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theklaas:
Hello,

I have a problem with my HTC HD2. It won’t boot any more. The strange thing is that I didn’t update or install new software versions.

I install a couple month back a android version. And that runs without any problem. To install the android (NAND) I have to install MAGLDR 1.13 and HSPL2.08.

Now when is start my phone, it shows the start splash screen. And that's it.

When I try to get in the menu of MAGLDR, it shows the version, install or release date then the white line, and the nothing anymore.

I’m able to open the boot loader (volume down ->power) but when I connect the USB cable, with 2 sec the screen is turns back.

As last escape, I format an SD cart (FAT32 default block size and also again with blocksize of16kb ), place the official HTC 1.66 rom,(rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh)in the root of the SD cart. Start the boot loader, but nothing happened.

I get the feeling that my ROM is completely corrupted. But I don’t know how to fix this anymore.

And now I hope that someone has a good idea that I can try to fix my phone.

Thanks.

The LEOIMG.nbh file that you placed in your SD card, did you place with it an RUU?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Are you sure your battery is not just dead? The thing about MAGLDR just showing the top art of the screen is kind of confusing though.

I know thos sounds completely crazy, but I would npt mention it if if wasn't for other members here having luck doing this. Get the LEOIMG.nbh file copied to the root of your SD card and ready to go. take and place your HD2 in a plastic bag that you can seal. Then put your HD2 in the freezer for like 15 to 20 minutes and then take it out. As soon as you take it out of the freezer boot it to bootloader and flash the ROM. If it works you may have saved it bit you will have to let it warm back up before you will know. If it does not mess up again after warming up you may not have a hardware problem what I kinda feel like is you have something wrong with your HSPL and thos is why MAGLDR is not fully booting up and if MAGLSR can not boot up your Android ROM will not boot up as MAGLDR is what boots the ROM. HSPL is what boots MAGLDR. TAhe freezer trick has helped people with stuck radios get a stock ROM flashed and people with overheating and processor connections to get a stock ROM flashed. I think it might help you too but I don't thinl you have hardware troubles as much as I do HSPL troubles. If the ROm flashes it will revert you to stock SPL but your SPL will be good again.

Hello,

I'm sure that the battery is in a good condition. a friend of my has the same phone. i try his battery and cable to be sure, and on my phone nothing works.

my battery in his phone, everything works.

i extract from the HTC original ROM update, the the rom file "RUU_signed.nbh". And that file i place on the SD cart. i rename the file to LEOIMG.nbh.

Is this the correct way?

i will try the freezer, i will let you know.

thanks for your response.

Hello

I put my phone in the freeze for 4 episodes of the big bang theory. Forget my phone..

But I can tell you that it was very cold to handle…

When I turn my phone on, directly start the bootloader. Then I start the update with the last original HTC HD2 rom. And that was successful finished. It works, and I didn’t thought that.

When it restart it shows the withe HTC splash screen and the radio version . but windows mobile wasn’t stated. Restart the device again, and now only the with HTC splash screen is showed.

I thing that my device is defect, and have to choice a mobile freezer or new device.

Thank..

New battery + external charger and USB wall outlet.

$8 and change SHIPPED.

Great deal, huh?

Yeah sounds like you probably need a new main board.

Everyone loves SkyRaider roms right? and everyone loves bios boot animations.

So I've made a SkyRaider 4.0 bios boot animation.

Sample:

View attachment 578053

View attachment 578054

Just move the file to /system/media (make sure to backup the old bootanimation.zip first). then reboot.
[Droid Incredible General] woznet:
Awesome, this is going in my skyraider backup.

Thank you
[Droid Incredible General] pronghornrunner:
Still not wild about the Harley-esque logo... but this definitely helps soften the blow (while paying homage to the dev). Thanks!

EDIT: Any reason this is nearly double the size of the stock BIOS animation?
[Droid Incredible General] wizardofyendor:
Well there are 87 pngs (77 for bios animation, 10 looping for progress bar) all ranging from 6-8 KBs. I've shrunk the images down as much as I could, and have them rendering at 8 colour-bits. All this running at 10fps, to ensure it's smooth, and not too fast.
[Droid Incredible General] jayochs:
awesome man, good build! i'm putting it on now. i love my generic bios boot, but this one's made especially for skyraider 4 so i'm def getting it!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATrueJesusFreak:
Can anyone possibly make a 2.2.1 ROM that looks like stock [white] 2.2?

- Except with a percent on the stock 2.2 battery icon.

I think it would be cool.

For some reason I guess I've just been wanting something like that lately; I'm gonna try White Steel 1.2; but that still isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

So, anyone out there willing to do it? or am I the only one who would dig this?

Howto use different wimax provider? may be abybody know howto fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
With a stock Rom and the phone in airplane mode reboot then dial ##data#. From there select edit, enter your msl code, then go to Wimax. It should let you change the settings from there.

Nope, CyanogenMod doesn't have any of the dialer/control codes. You would have to dig deeper...

i read that in gingerbread working wimax, but never read that wimax working with different frequency.
[Xoom General] patass:
The screen appears to show more detail, but even in mild lighting you can see dots all over the screen. IMO the Xoom screen is better because of this.

It is noticeably lighter than the xoom.

The screen rotates really, REALLY fast. Not stupid overly sensitive fast like the iPad 2, but ALOT faster than my xoom and the store display's xoom. This made me a bit jealous. What can we do to have our Xoom's screens rotate faster? Go to Best Buy and play with the Acer tab there to see what I mean.

I also played with that new 3D tab at a t-mobile booth I think it was, and believe the 3d functions of it to be absolutely useless. I do however feel that the 8.9 inch screen size may allow for slightly better portability.

TLDR - Acer tab has MUCH better screen rotation speeds than the Xoom. Why, and what can we do to match it?
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
It would be nice if Honeycomb/Android included sensitivity adjustments for things like this. On my DX the rotations are too sensitive and I wish I could tone it down some.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Have you tried downloading spare parts and setting the animations to fast?

I don't know if it will help at all, but I think mines snappy...little slower than my Epic, but it has a lot more pixels to deal with, so I can see the difference being justified.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Too bad you didnt get a look at the kernel version. Wonder if its newer.
[Xoom General] patass:
damn it i didnt even think of that. I'm probably going to near bestbuy again tomorrow so I'll check it for you.

Kcarpenter, the spare parts settings dont seem to do anything.
[Xoom General] fatate:
Acer A500

Kernel version is 3.0.1. The unit I played with I did not notice any grid dots the unit was very response and I did like my thumb never got into screen area. I often fat thumb the screen on my xoom which resulted in unwanted action.
[Xoom General] hal752:
I like the Acer Iconia A500. Not really noticed any issues with mine apart from the dots.

There not as bad as your making them out to be. You can only really seem them in strong direct light. There apparently used for more precision. Not really noticed any diffrence compaired to my x10 and dell streak.

The boarder is nice and stops any interferance with the user placing his hand in the wrong place.

In the end there pretty much the same device with a diffrent shell. The xoom does look alot better though..
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Here is the kernel version
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Have to say I'm thoroughly impressed by the Eee Pad Transformer. Very nice device and $300 cheaper for the 32GB (yes, I know it doesnt have 3g.)

Moto is going to pay for that horrible pricepoint.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
They're already paying for their arrogance.
[Xoom General] tritran18518:
How can Eee pad be $300 cheaper ?
[Xoom General] keitht:
No offense but this is a perfect example of what an average consumer looks at not knowing how to compare apples to apples. There are two different Xoom models, one with 3G/4G and one WiFi only. Also, all Xoom's have 32GB internal memory. The average consumer looks at the price and nothing else and many times, makes their purchasing decision on that alone without knowing what they are actually getting. This is the main reason we need to see 16GB WiFi only Xoom's.
[Xoom General] patass:
so how about making our rotation speeds more comparable to the acer?
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Xoom 3G is $799, Eee Pad 32GB $499, Eee Pad 16GB $399

If you read what I wrote I'm comparing to the 32GB Eee Pad, not the 16GB (which is $399)

Seeing how the only difference between the 32GB Eee Pad and 32GB Xoom 3G is the 3G modem, are you really trying to say that the 3G modem validates a $300 price difference??!! Even the Ipad charges a $130 premium on the modem...NOT $300!

Furthermore, if we compare the Eee Pad 32GB to the Xoom Wifi 32GB...the Eee Pad is still $100 cheaper.
[Xoom General] tritran18518:
So it's only $100 cheaper, not $300, ^^!

Ipad 32 Gb 3G is $729. Xoom 32GB 3G is $799, yoy spend $70 bucks for upgrade to 4G. It's still not overprice at all.

The only problem is Motorola don't release 16GB Xoom wifi version.
[Xoom General] androidlurker:
Does the Asus or Acer tablet offer LTE 4g?

If you think for one second that the Acer or Asus are using equally expensive components and charging $300 less, you need a quick education on economics.

I remember being all-consumed with price when I was younger. Now I adhere to the "pay now, enjoy later" mentality.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
The Acer and Asus are WiFi only at this point.

The WiFi Xoom is $100 to $200 more expensive than both with generally the same internals.
[Xoom General] subminimal:
There's no doubt Acer and Asus are cutting corners somewhere on hardware to increase their profits. With PCs they would use a cheaper brand of internal components which often resulted in lesser performance, consistency, and/or quality. However, some of the cost difference is probably that they are not marketing the devices as much and have always been the low cost alternative PC/Laptops. I don't remember seeing Asus or Acer take out a $1.5M 30 second SuperBowl ad...

These companies certainly have their place in the game and probably fit some peoples wants/needs. Many people don't find the nuances of the lesser priced alternatives until they go to do something the device won't allow and by then it's too late!
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
There are other minor differences that may or may not matter. Concerning the Xoom, it supports 802.11 a/b/g/n. Some people may consider the 5ghz spectrum when weighing pros and cons of both devices. The ASUS has the more desireable screen. So when you consider it is $589 vs $499 (add $149 for the dock vs $~70 for the motorola BT keyboard) its not that huge of a deal breaker. I am unsure about the ASUS model having a barometer, and I don't even know who would care about that but someone might. Just saying, there are going to be a host of little things that set all these devices apart and all things considered, I still believe that the XOOM offers the most flexibility.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
If your buying the Transformer its $300 cheaper if your buying the Xoom it's $100 more expensive! LOL :confused:
[Xoom General] davidsos:
I went into Bestbuy today and compared it side by side with a Xoom. I thought it felt heavier which is not what you thought. I just checked and it's 1.69 pounds which is definitely heavier and larger than the Xoom. I compared viewing angles and they were pretty much the same. The Xoom may have been a tad brighter. I changed the wallpapers to comparable darkness and went into the settings to set the brightness before making my opinion. The Xoom seemed better built and felt better in my hands. I wish the Xoom had a USB Host port like the Iconia. The Iconia has less flash memory but a lower price than the wifi Xoom. Although I prefer the Xoom, this was by no means a funky product. I think being larger and heavier than the Xoom its not going to help it compete with the iPad2.
[Xoom General] tritran18518:
32GB transformer wifi version vs 32 GB xoom 3G version: $300 cheaper

32 Gb xoom wifi version vs 32Gb transformer wifi version : $100 more expensive
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Was it hard to understand?

WiFi version vs WiFi version, the Xoom is $200 more than the Transformer, $150 more than the Acer Iconia Tab...

factoring in 3G the differences are larger, but there's no 3G version of the transformer or iconia tab...
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
You guys suck horribly at math.

Wifi 32MB Xoom - $589 (common price)

Wifi 32MB EEE - $499 (common price)

price delta - $90 dollars.

Please stop comparing the cost of completely different configurations. That's like saying a ford focus is $7k and a mercedes benz is $50k. DUH.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
Hilarious! So true.
[Xoom General] freeky1:
Where did you learn math? Read the above reply before to decide to do any more computations.

I don't mind the extra $90 for the better build quality and the fact that the Xoom is a Google Experience device.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Also, I stopped into a Best Buy earlier and held one of the Acer tablets in my hands.

Initial impression: Cheap build quality. This is the first of a series of knock-off quality tablets coming out that will be "decent" but not "fully featured". Expect Archos to ship something too at a cheaper price point.

The price of the 16GB Wifi only Acer tablet was $449, positioning it $50 more expensive than the 16GB Wifi only EEE pad and the soon to be released 16GB Wifi only XOOM (which at that point will have the best of the three available wifi configurations with 802.11 a/b/g/n support).

If any one of you are even remotely concerned that the Acer tablet is putting a damper on your XOOM party... don't be.
[Xoom General] webvan:
Too many tablets, not enough time! I wish there was more competition on the 7" tablet market. I have an iPad 1 and it's too big and heavy for most of what I need it for. Will try to check out the 8.9" format, that might be a sweet point.
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
I think it's mainly due to the fact that the orientation is controlled by hardware, and not software in contrast to what the Xoom has. With hardware it might be easier to detect that orientation is unlocked and it does it faster? Or maybe I am just making stuff up, seems pretty logical to me.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] patass:
I messed with the Asus pad at a different store today, and the screen actually rotated SLOWER than mine and the display xooms there. It also still featured the "dotty" screen.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I think we can go on and on arguing semantics but that was not in the "spirit" of my initial observation. I'm just pointing out that Moto has a horrible pricepoint with the Xoom 3G at $800. This is why analysts from everywhere are reporting how poorly the device has sold and Moto has clearly squandered the first to market opportunity.

The conversation has turned into quality of components and build. Lets not make assumptions that the Xoom has been built so much better than the ASUS cause we dont know. Actually, ASUS has long been #1 in the industry for quality and reliability. Also, lets not speculate on quality of components. These are all Tegra 2 devices and Google has been very strict on hardware requirements for these first Honeycomb tablets. Google is not going to risk damaging their OS's image over an OEMs cost savings.

All things being equal (32gb vs 32gb) a 3g radio does not cost $300. If you ever seen an iFixit teardown you'd know that a radio like that will more likely run the manufacturer $10-$20(ish.)

If I were to speculate, I'd say we're A, paying a major premium to Motorola, B, paying for the 3G modem as well as the 4G modem + labor. Moto has sold this to us as we're "futurproofed" with a "free" 4G upgrade but the reality is at $300, we've paid for it and then some.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I don't think anyone is arguing with you that a 3G radio is $200 (not $300). The consumer price delta between a Xoom Wifi and a Xoom 3G is $200. You keep wanting to compare apples to oranges and say "this most expensive product vs. this most cheapest product". I wish you would quit doing that. The simple fact of the matter is if all you really care about is price then you should have waited and there are now products coming out with price points you should be happier with. Granted, none of those products right around the corner are cellular... but they're cheaper.

As I stated, all of these units have varying degrees of pros and cons most of which translate into acceptable $$$ variances. Besides the screen and ONLY the screen I still regard the Xoom as the best option for a Honeycomb tablet on the market today.

I also know that a good majority of the users of this forum managed to get 3G Xoom's for $200 and $100 off retail through various online scams. I myself was able to walk into a Best Buy and sweet talk a store manager out of a $100 price check credit thanks to the 2nd above mentioned "scam". I realize that this doesn't help you at all, or anyone else who paid full MSRP but there are also those who are more than willing to throw their Xoom on contract knowing full well that they will have service with Verizon for 2 years no matter what device they have. Those people also paid $200 less. So, your comparisons really just sound like sour grapes to me until you want to actually acknowledge that there are other differences between these devices than just "a 3G radio that we paid 300 bucks for".

Considering my local Best Buy stores could hardly keep the 3G Xoom in stock for the first initial couple of weeks I dont understand how anything was "squandered".
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
PS: With all that being said, I would think it smart for Motorola to bring the 32GB 3GB model down to $729 or even $699. Bring the 32GB Wifi down from $599 to $549 and then roll the 16GB out at $449 or something like that. It's probably already in the pipe anyways, but companies move slow.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
You've already tried to twist my words in previous posts to suit your argument but I am not comparing the Xoom Wifi vs the Xoom 3G. Your delta argument is irrelevant. As I stated, this is an observation in spirit. My point is another manufacturer has been able to find a business case for selling their "virtually identical" (notice the quotes) for cheaper. Again, we can argue semantics here but it IS $300 cheaper when I'm comparing the Asus 32GB with the Xoom 32GB 3G. A 3G radio does not justify $300.

...and you're personal experience with your local Best Buy store is absurd. That is by no means an indication of units sold. Below are a couple of links to what analysts have found. There are many other articles.

First thing you and I agree on.

On a separate note, Technobuffalo has a glowing review for the Transformer vs the Xoom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUm6D9cVuRQ

For the record I'm not soar grapes. Just defending a simple thought I made and at the same time calling out Moto for being greedy. Simply put, if it looks like a fish and smells like a fish...it's probably a fish.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
Who's twisting what? You're comparing the price of a cellular product to the price of a wifi only product and expecting us to think that's a level playing field.

According to the ifixit teardown, these things should all cost $200.
