[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
The reason why your gps is messes up is because you guys are flashing roms when their is already to many glitches with the origiinal software, hence lacking a software base, leading to a external glitch...i stopped flashing, returned my phone, got the new one and will not flash it until this software patch comes out in a couple weeks, then ill resume flashing when bugs are out..... but yes my gps was broke after i flashed too,, even after returning to stock factory reset etcetcetc.... good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
I'm on rooted stock rom courtesy of gunnman and my gps is just fine.

I'm hoping "fasterfix" will be fixed to work right on our devices right now its a blank screen but its sounds promising. Anyone know an alternative to this?

In the old school days of phones that had gps in them..each day you had to turn on gps outside and leave it out there for a few minutes to download latest information of satellites.

If its your first gps connection of the day it probably will take a little longer to properly track satellites so shouldn't expect miracles lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
My GPS is usually pretty good. This afternoon, though, it would not get a lock. I drove for about 15 minutes, then pulled over and rebooted the phone (i.e., power cycled it). When it came back up, it got a lock within about 5 seconds. I'm not sure what the problem was nor why a reboot fixed it. (I'm running unrooted stock.)
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
OK, so i am trying to load the stock rom back on my old HD2 to send back to t-mobile.

My phone has a broken flex cable going to the bottom buttons so i cannot hit the power button.

I downloaded the stock rom from t-mobile and have it both on sd card and on computer.

I can boot the phone to the point where it wants me to load the rom from SD card, i just cannot hit the power button to accept.

So i tried to do it from the computer. when i do, it just hangs at 8%.

Does anyone have any idea how I can put stock rom back on it?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hold your volume down button down while you power,on your HD2. When you see the multicolor bootloader screen come up connect your USB cable to the HD2 and computer. Wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB then run the RUU for the T-Mobile ROM. After you have flashed the ROM download HSPL 4 (linked in my sig) and run it but select SPL 3.03.0000 when it asks what version you want to flash. When you are done runningvthe HSPL utility boot into bootloader again to make sure you have SPL -3.03.0000. If you do and you should ypu are good for warranty.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
This is what i am doing, but it just hangs at 8% no matter what..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Which one the ROM or HSPL?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
I am trying to load the rom first. I cant boot anything. it just says update failed when i try to boot
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Have you tried flashing via SD card? Here is a guide on how to do this.

Also I recomend you flash HSL first as it might help.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
How do i flash HPSL first? I cant get the phone into sync with it?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You don't have to have to be synced through ActiveSync you use HTC USB sync. Click on my guide linked in my sig and follow the instructions there on how to flash HSPL you will see what I mean.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
I reloaded HPSL 2.08 and then tried to install the stock firmware via usb and it still hangs at 8%. I wonder if i try to install a different version?

I cannot boot from SD since my bottom keys dont work. I cannot click the call button to accept.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Don't you understand? You don't need the stock ROM, once you have the stock SPL you -should- be fine. Go to the tri-Color screen and download HSPL4 on your PC and run it and choose 3.03.0000 (not HSPL) and click next and it should flash. If you've done that then you're ready to send it off for warranty. No need for stock ROM. Just change the HSPL to SPL again which TMagnolia and I just told you how to do.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Oh yeah and you can easily get to the tri-color by plugging the USB in and holding the Vol down button. :)
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Awesome! Thank you, no I was not understanding...very new at this. Thank you!
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Quick question to add... there is no rom on there at all now....do i need to install one for warrenty?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
The green square still says "upgrade rom code error" please try again
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
They won't power the phone on to see if theres a ROM and if they do it'll boot to SPL in which case I'd say they'd flash a stock ROM. What green box? :confused:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I think they do not have a stock ROM on the HD2 and I was stupid and did not realize they probably already had HSPL on thier HD2. So they are not good to go for warranty just yet.

At the OP try right clicking on the RUU and select run as administrator. Also try different USB ports too that might help.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
When you get the red green blue and white screen, the green section.

in the green section it says

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again

If you just let the phone boot up, lit says "software update faild. please try again" on a black screen with triagle with a ! in it.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
I am using the exe file that i downloaded off tmobiles site...is that what i should be using to flash?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I would still try to get the stock ROM on the HD2 before sending it in cause I can assure you if they will turn the phome on and check the ROM and SPL. and if they have SPL 3.03.000 and not SPL 2.10.0000 they will say why iscthat cause it looks like they were tring to update the phone and sould not have SPL 3.03.0000. Then they will probably say they either did not preform the flash correctly or had un approved software on the phone and will not pass it as warranty.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes that is the RUU, right click it and select run as adminastrator, Skellyyy is right too you need to use the HSPL 4 Utility to reset your HSPL to SPL 3.03.0000 if you get the ROM to flash
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Ok, i reset it and tried again. It just hangs at 0% now.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
I haven't done any flashing of a HD2 in like a month and it's 04:26 in the morning so forgive me haha. :p
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Btw it's hanging because you don't have the correct bootloader. :p
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Here is a question.. is there another stock rom i can load besides the one thats on t-mobiles site? maybe this rom is the issue?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
How do i get the correct bootloader then? and how to i get it on the phone lol
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No that is not the problem cause I have never had any trouble flashing the T-Mobile stock 3.14 ROM with me having HSPL 2.08. The SPL 2.08.0000 is a SPL originaly made for the TMOUS.

Do you have another cable you can try and have you tried all of your USB ports?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
OK quick update. Now that 3.03.0000 is on there. if i let it boot, it comes up and says the stay together screen with a "this is a test and not for sale" or something like that
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Yep tried new cable and several ports.

right now im trying to flash in 3.03.0000, should i reinstall 2.08 HSPL?
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
I haven't even read this thread properly, are you trying to flash stock with 3.03.0000 or 2.08.HSPL or 2.08.0000?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
I have tried with 3.03.0000...
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Wow, give me the full name of the ROM you are trying to flash and if you can the one you had on the phone befor you started today. Do not try to flash anything else just yet until you give me thos information.

Also what kind of HD2 do you have does it have a red end button and a green send button?
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
I just put 2.08HPSL back on it, and it hangs at 8% again.

There are currently no roms on it at all right now. FYI
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Full name of the rom i am trying to flash is

T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.exe

It has the colored call and end buttons.

Before the guy who gave it to me had andriod on it. I just got a warrenty replacement. So i need to send this back to t-mobile.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I know it is not a ROM on it but the the thing about the test worries me cause that was only with test ROMs that was used on the HTC Pro Three which was the test HD2 devices for the TMOUS HD2. And some of the test ROMs have radio versions that will brick your HD2 if it is a TMOUS.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok you have the right ROM it is not a test ROM. Tell me what you see in bootloader where it gives uour SPL don't just assume you have SPL or HSPL whatever actually look and see what it says you have. I am still thinking about the test thing.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Right now it says

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8g XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x50
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Try this, not sure if it will help or not, bit resart your computer and do not start anything running but the RUU for the ROM. Still run it as administrator.

You have HSPL 2.08 right now too by the way. If thos does not work try to redownload the ROM from T-Mobile, maybe you got a bad download.
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
Well, i tried all that. Nothing. I cannot get it past 8%, even with a new download, it just sits at 8%
[HD2 General] bnd10706:
What I am afraid of, is the guy who had it before me, loaded a test rom on this thing. its aparent he did not know what he was doing.. i guess once a test rom is on it.. no way to revert back?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah you can get a test ROM off of a TMOUS you just have to know how. Sorry about not being abale to post for a little while had to take my wife to the ER. I am afriad you have more than just the problem with your Hardware buttons. I think you may have a problem with your processors conmection to the main board or a NAND memory problem such as bad blocks. You can get your computer ready to flash the ROM and stick your HD2 into a plastic sealable plastic bag and then into the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes and as soon as you take it out try to flash the ROM. If it flashes then flash SPL 3.03.0000 by using HSPL 4 and you are good to send it in.

Sorry as I am new I can not post in Dev yet.

1.4 went in without a hitch.

Downloaded from XDA to Xoom.

Used root explorer to move it from sdcard to sdcard2.

Used Clockworks to go into recovery

Mounted USB (not sure this was needed as I had it already had it on the external sdcard.)

Flashed from zip

Everything looks good. Third Quadrant score 3285 1.504mhz

One issue I wanted to point out. The new kernel flash somehow completely wiped my external SD card!!! All the folders and files gone. I have not gone and reread to see if I was supposed to do something to prevent this but I do not think so. I wish I could post this in the thread in Dec but I just recently joined and read alot before I post so as to not ask questionsthat have already been answered.

Does anyone have any info on the SD card being wiped from the tiamat 1.4 flash?

So wanted to let people know that having a backup of your SD cards data might be a good idea.

I installed coreplayer on my AT&T Tilt2, and it says, for a video I want to play, that AVC aka H.264 is not supported by the player. I have seen sites that say it is, and it isn't supported. What is the story, and is there any way to have coreplayer play this video or do I have to convert it?

thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CH3NO2:
as far as i know all usa phones support h.264 streaming but as for the playback you'll need to use a new media player (try vplayer).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] highlandsun:
There are several different profiles of H.264. The hardware only supports Baseline profile, many sites are using Main or High profile for their streams. Hardware acceleration won't work for those, and the CPU is too slow to play them back reasonably without acceleration.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuN!:
Besides personal preference, general file systems, what are the benefits of one over the other?

I already know that CM7 is different from all other (gingerbread) ROMs since it isn't based on Samsung's ROM, but since the captivate is a Samsung phone, would that mean ROMs based on Samsung's original ROM (so pretty much all ROMs besides CM7) would be more optimal in terms of use?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
that is probably an accurate statement, does not mean cm7 and miui are not awesome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwx:
i had been on cm7 for 2 months or so and flashed continuum5 yesterday. so far i'm liking the samsung-based gingerbread better, but mainly for reasons like battery-life when using wifi. cm7 has tons of tweaks through their customized settings. i'm sure that cm7 will be back on my phone as soon as they incorporate some of the "fixes" that are in the gingerbread code that was released last week by samsung.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Cyanogen mod is based off of the nexus s 2.3.3 and the nexus s is extremely similar to the captivate in terms of hardware so it is quite optimized without any modification at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
this statement really needs to stop being spread around. CM7 is not based on Nexus S, it is based on AOSP/CM code. it just so happens that the Nexus S is as well. it's as valid to say it's based on Nexus S as it would be to say it's based on Nexus One or G1 code (i.e. not valid). The AOSP code leaves a lot stuff out for our phones, such as GPIO's and several drivers, so we're using samsung's drop to try and organize and improve all of it.

OP, difference between CM7 an Samsung ROM == do you want the ability to configure and easily theme for your phone (without reflashing just for a theme) or do you want to not worry about battery life? that's basically what it comes down to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven2000:
So which has the better battery life?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
if you read what I wrote I clearly said a samsung ROM would >_>
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuN!:
With Samsung sources out, will that allow CM7's development of battery life to be as close as the amount a Samsung ROM can offer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
it's already been improved. quite frankly, just TRY the ROM's and see which you like better. this whole "will-I-or-won't-I try flashing something" is kind of pointless. no one can tell you what will work best for you or which you will like more except you. with every ROM, every modem, every kernel your mileage may vary, so instead of asking which is "better" (which is so amazingly subjective), just try the ones you're curious about.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelloJoe4500:
Hi I hope this post is in the proper section of the forums, I am new here.

Several months ago I heard about ps3 modding via jailbreak. A few weeks later it was ported to htc hero.

I followed a guide here. I had never done anything with a phone, rooting etc nothing learned every single thing I know about phone modding from that ps3 guide.

Never really cared much to trick out my phone was only interested in running the ps3 stuff so I learned enough to do that but then stopped.

Flash forward 4 months later and my ps3 now has custom firmware so I dont need the ps3 stuff on my htc hero anymore and would like to lose it but dunno how.

Ever since I did the ps3 stuff my phone sucked, dropping calls, acting super laggy, and it resets(powers on and off) by itself sporadically. really annoying stuff. i put up with it for the ps3 but I no longer need it and tired of the consistent headache with my phone.

I cant recall everything I did to my phone in the guide I had it bookmarked here but alas the thread is missing. I was hoping to just retrace my steps backwards from the guide I had followed previously but i cant do that now.

So.... Im hoping someone can help me out here getting my phone totally back to stock (or better?)

I tried flashing a new rom awhile ago but that didnt solve the problem I still get the consistent problems and it wont let me download updates.

Part of the guide on the ps3/htc sprint guide stuff involved downloading/installing something that stopped the phone from doing updates over the air from sprint Id like to lose/deactivate this but I dont know how.

So... to recap... got a ton of stuff on my phone id like gone, not sure how to do it, the stuff relates to ps3 jailbreaking if that helps and i got it all from here many months ago.

Any help would be terribly appreciated, even like a link to a guide to follow would be nice frankly I dont mind digging deep into a guide and doin stuff myself but Im at a loss here even where to start.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
you could try restoring the official 2.3 ruu that will revert u to stock and you wouldnt be rooted anymore first you need to download the ruu exe to a compter make sure you have the right htc drivers installed then u need to plug your phone into the computer and runn the ruu exe and itll start updating everything witch should take 10-15min. heres a link to the ruu thread further directions are in the thread i hope this helps:)

[G Tablet General] jason1332:
So I have done some serious work to fix my overnight and sleep battery drain and have fixed the problem. I had the 4%/hour drain with zero use on TnT Lite/Vegan and CM7 and finally found two things to help.

First is the well know WIFI always on trick that also helps the sleep of death problem. Go to Wireless & Network>Wifi Settings> tap menu and hit Advanced>Change Wifi Sleep Policy to Never. This trick has been documented to work for some and not for others. What was new to me was the second step.

Install Root Explorer and navigate to /System/App...press R/W to mod files and rename the following apps by adding .old to the filename in this order:

Voicedialer.apk (e.g. Voicedialer.apk.old, etc.)

Telephonyprovider.apk

MMS.apk

Phone.apk (do this last as a FC loop may ensue right away)

hard reset and your done. Some of the new ROM's have removed these apps, some have not but regardless they are not needed on a tablet with no radio.

Since doing this I have gone 11 hours unplugged with 2 hours of heavy use and have 66% battery remaining. I would have typically been at 30% before making these changes.

Hope this helps someone.
[G Tablet General] Djapatos:
I just did

I just tried doing your fix. I ll tell you how that goes;)
[G Tablet General] jason1332:
Interested to know your result...
[G Tablet General] Djapatos:

So far so good:D

I only lost 1% of battery in 1 hour idle no use.

And no sleep of death

Seems to be working;)
[G Tablet General] HTung:
As I follow your methods, disable MMS is OK, but Phone, it give me FC, and I can not escape that windows.

Does I need to follow renaming in order?

Edit: A restart has fixed it.
[G Tablet General] Djapatos:
Yup same here

As first i was like wtf... then i rebooted and no issues afterwards.

Overall, i lose 1% every hour of idle, which is not bad:)
[G Tablet General] shadowhawk2020:
I just set this up. I will let you know how it works after 6 hours of sleep.

I would make sure people do the phone rename last. It gives a bunch of force close errors, but I held the power button down reset the tablet and double checked to make sure the changes stuck, which they did.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Way ahead of you. I used system app remover and removed all those plus bunch of other things.
[G Tablet General] bso44:
I'm assuming the removal of these apk's would prevent you from sending texts and making calls via Google Voice and a SIP client, right?
[G Tablet General] flash_c4:
These won't affect Google Voice on your tablet. On your phone however this would do really bad things.
