If you boot up with the volume down button held down, does it go into bootloader (tri-color screen, not MAGLDR)?

And does your pc have ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center installed on it?

If you can get into bootloader, there is still hope...
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
Hey Huggs

Thanks for the the reply, No There is no bootloader screen, No nothing just a little blip from the vibrator motor for a tenth of a sec. when I try to just turn the power on, If I try to hold the Vol. key and power at the same time it wont do anything.

I did notice when I plug it into USB it try's to install drivers for a "QUALCOMM CDMA DEVICE" and after about 10min it starts to get warm near the bottom of the battery. I have windows vista so Windows Mobile Device is installed.

I left it go for about 4 hrs from 4am to am and then tried the battery again and again nothing, I'm pretty sure there's nothing I could do from USB.

Does anyone know if any JTAG will work or does it have to be the one I see people using, not the cheap Flea-BAY ones for $50?

also when using a JTAG do you have to have a special file or just the stock rom?

Or is there someone on here offering this service?

The phone never had reception in the house so I should be looking for other methods but this thing is like brand new and I would like to see it come alive.

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Sorry dude but you have 100% bricked your phone. You have no excuse other then lazyness as this is a very well documented fact and warnings against flashing and incorrect radio.

If you had taken time to read things properly you wouldn't have made this mistake.

Your only option now is to send it away for JTAG repair so they can replace your bootloader.
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
I wouldn't say its because of laziness. I looked up that rom and found a thread where people were using it. It was a ".50" and not ".51" rom and that was all I knew that was uncompilable.

Instead of starting the name calling or your this and that, How about some constructive criticism and say well "that particular rom isn't compatible because of"

I stayed up for 3 days strait and been reading for over a week trying to learn about flashing and what not. could I have spent more time reading YES but I flashed roms about a 2 dozen times and everything was OK. Like I said I used it because of the fact it was a ".50" and thought it was safe to use and the fact I seen the tread that it came from HTC and was safe to use. Guess not!

Thanks for your .02cents theatheist though.

Can someone tell me which JTAG box I have to use?

or what does the box have to support? I see others using the "RIFF BOX"

but 150 for a box is alot for one time use. does the box just have to support an arm7?

Again Thank you for taking the time to read this

Hope every ones have a nice holiday weekend
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
Can someone tell me why this particular radio rom bricked this phone?

and if anyone could tell me which JTAG box I would have to use?

would a cheap one from the BAY work?

what does the JTAG box have to support?

I am reading but I don't understand some of it.

Thank you for your time and reading this.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As soon as i finish posting this I will send you a PM with a link to someone that offers a JTAG service for $50 USD and lives in US. He is very good too, I would not recommend him if he was not very experienced with JTAGing HD2s.

I do not know why that Radio version brickedc your HD2 cause from what I know only the 2.04.50.xx or the 2.05.50.xx radio versions or the only radio versions with 50s that will brick a TMOUS. Looks like I might have to add 2.06,50,xx radio versions to that list. The reason why these radios with 50swill brick a TMOUS is because these radio versions were used in the Test TOM/Test T-Mobile HD2s which were actually regular HD2s and not the TMOUS that is out now with the extra ROM and RAM. There for these radios were not designed to run on the TMOUS.

Oh and you are correct about the %1 radio versions to0, they were all made for the regular HD2s also.
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
Thank you so much for your time Sir.

and thanks for the explanation, I would really like to try and JTAG it myself

do you know if any of the cheap JTAG boxes on ebay that support the ARM7 would work? I will shoot that guy a PM.

I hope you have a Safe Holiday weekend!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
To be honest i do not know if the "cheap boxes" you refer to will work or not. Maybe a link to the exact box you are referring to would help.

I do know this if you want to try it yourself that is cool, but be warned you have to have a small torques head srew driver, a HTC HD2 JTAG, a Riffbox with proper connection cables, a Omnei Repair Tool (ORT), the software to use the Riffbox, and it is best if you have a small power supply for the mainboard but you can use the power from the HD2 battery. Plus you have to completely remove the mainboard of your HD2 to JTAG it, which means you pretty much have to totally disassemble the HD2.

So not only is JTAGing a HD2 just for yourself expensive, but you need to have some skill to do it as well.

PM the guy I referred you to is a very good idea, best of luck with however you decide to JTAG your HD2.
[HD2 General] SeaWeed89:
Thanks for the response...Your very helpful.

I didn't know If links were permitted.? Here's the link's

1&2 are the same but different prices, They both support ARM7 architecture Which I thought the QSD8250 was?

#1. http://cgi.ebay.com/JLINK-J-LINK-V8...155?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aab620ae3

#2 http://cgi.ebay.com/JLINK-J-LINK-V8...551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b1f2c6e7

There is a RIFF for $150 that I found but I cant really pull that off ATM.

There is others that support the ARM also. I've also found a no-solder connecter for about 15 bucks but I don't know if the pin-out is the same on the ribbon cable as the ORT-JTAG box(company that has the connecter). I'm sure I could change it around If i could find a schematic for the both of them(connecter and box)

I do have the tools to dismantle this and power station(I also mess with the Arduino platform and circuit building when I have time and recently have just dismantled my HTC TP2 for craps and giggles and have fixed multiple IPOD touches) I have been also ripping everything apart that had a battery/wire connected to it since I could remember. And try to get it back together before my old man would come home and would find his stereo taken apart...:o

The only thing that has me is the programming part itself like the actual file.

I don't know if it's something special for the box or just the stock rom?:confused:

I have watched some youtube on it but nothing really helpful.

I'm thinking I could do it and maybe help some others if I could nail it and do some more reading. My brothers into IT(servers) and a HTC nightly rommer so I was hoping he could help he and I was really hoping for some help from you good fellas here.

I want to thank you for the PM (very helpful) and the reply.

I will probably end up sending it to him because it's about the same price and I don't have funds for a new phone if I toast it, and hes a very nice guy. I just love messing with stuff.

Have a good one.

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
To be honest I do not know if the JTAG Emulators your linked would work or not. It looks as though it might could but I can not saw proof positive it would work.

Ii seems like you might would be able to do it yourself. You have a lot of the needed tools. I think the software for the Riff Box comes with the Riff Box but not sure as I have never JTAGed a device. The software allows you to reload or as the program calls it "res-erect "the SPL, you see JTAG restores the bootloader and that is it. Then you just flash a ROM of your choice to the HD2 and you are good to go. But I do recommend you flash a stock Windows Mobile ROM just for precautionary purposes.

Yes you want the no solder JTAG that makes it a lot easier as far as the set up process.

My girlfriends all original at&t 1.6 x10 all of a sudden decided it would charge when it wanted to, then the other day just crapped out completely. It kept randomly rebooting so yesterday I restored it using the update service and it seemed fine for about 12 hours.

Today it crapped out again and started rebooting, basically it did the same thing.

I've been screwing around with it using different batteries, and sim/memory cards and I kept getting the same results until I accidentally turned on airplane mode.

Its been up and running in airplane mode for a couple hours without a problem. When I turn off airplane mode, it starts having problems again.

Now what to do?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
It might be an app that you recently installed that is causing this problem.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:

i flashed the phone to the stock oem state using the sony update service

thats exactly what i did yesterday. i uninstalled the version of the update service software, downloaded fresh, and installed it. no dice

also, can anyone tell me why the update service is flashing 1.6 and not 2.1? i thought we got 2.1 in usa? my personal x10 is on wolfbreaks rom so i am kinda out of the loop on the stock stuff

Go to samsung.com and find your phone and download samsung USB drivers its in there downloads, under captivate.

There web site is small for the phone shouldnt be to hard to find.

(i found em and i couldnt find my way out of a wet paper bag)

keep the file on hand i deal with 4 phones none are samsung but mine so i lose my drivers all the time just like you have, isnt a big deal. dont get the drivers from any were but there or here.

Hmm I was looking on my Amazon store and noticed a 1900 mah battery for the desire z. The description stated it was the same form factor as the original battery, I find this a bit hard to believe.

Without naming brands, I think this is technically impossible no matter the brand, is there reallly a way to cram an additional 600 mah of capacity into the same form factor as stock?

Thought appreciated!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
Coming from an 8520 Blackberry Curve to the G2x I have made great leaps and bounds when it comes to OSes. For my review on my Rooted Leaked GB build on G2x I would just like to say the pros and cons that I have had since the moment I installed it 30 minutes after the leak.

Pros::)

Very smooth thanks to LPP & ADW making the home screens amazing

Space to install games

Still shots on the 8mp camera is a beauty

Swype is a must on any phone for me now

Speed, speed, speed and more speed! Duel Core is a power house

Wireless tether is smooth as

butter

! (Main source of internet for my home)

Screen size is very different then the HD2, but it’s still unique and nice

Soft keys are very bright and glow very well when receiving notifications

Weight with a body glove case without clip backing is perfect!

Rooting was

SUPER

easy and installing Leaked GB was so simple

Bluetooth is A+ for the range on it! BT Stereo headphones work great!

4G phone, can be a pro and con due to T-mobiles "Largest

SO CALLED

4G Network"

Cons: :(

Number 1 issue would be battery but solved with upcoming updates or switching to 2g only in settings

Speakers are not as loud as I would want them to be. Voice/Music

Speakers are also very low quality

, distorting music/call if too loud

No notification light, but solved by Optimus 2X Touch app

Vibrate is not as strong as I would like (Can be solved by app?)

Touch screen can be a little buggy, also due to leaked GB maybe?

Slight jitter when swiping between home screens

Random app lock ups at least once every 3 days, VERY bearable

LCD bleed top left, bottom left and slightly in the right

No dedicated camera button

Lag when coming from standby, WidgetLocker maybe?

Video recording is sub-par but improves with settings in low light conditions

Keyboard lags. For example, typing a very long e-mail, text or post

Hangs on lock screen sometimes

Lag on trying to end a call when removing the phone from your ear

Some apps will lock the phone up forcing you to hold power to reboot.

4G seems to be the issue for my battery drains - Can go 15 hours on heavy use with 2G while switching to 4G for downloading apps and music

Overall:

One the best phones I have had a chance to have and even with the MINOR issues I have with the phone can be fixed with updates/patches/ROMs.

Once I find a way to increase the volume via an app and T-Mobile starts to build better 4G towers in my area then this phone will be perfect!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Vibrate can be altered with different roms. CM7 has a stronger vibrate. The initial builds was out of control. I think they toned it done some. Most phones don't have a dedicated camera button anymore, which is a shame. You can, however, map apps to Long-Presses. With CM7, long-press back = force close. Long-press home = default task manger or assign to an app. Long-Press menu = keyboard. Long-press search = whatever.

ADW has been known to be laggy on the Tegras, but Launcher Pro has always been buttery smooth, even with the 3D effects. I think ADW has something to do with a driver issue or something.

CM7 also boosts the audio profiles. Coming from a Blackberry, the speakers are weak. Blackberry's have always had great speaker phones. The G2x is much better then some other devices I've had. Call quality on both ends still sounds pretty good.

Just a few tid-bits of information. Most of the stuff in the CON list, like you said, can be fixed with "updates/patches/ROMs".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
Yeah I am holding off on making the switch to a CM7 nightly build..at least till its finished. I hate having to reinstall all my apps with titanium backup, takes forever.

But its bugging me so badly that I can't find the app or setting to change haptic strength!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Just a note...ADW EX is hands down smother than Launcher Pro since Hardware Acceleration was added (last update I believe). I just want to make sure that gets out there since I left ADW myself for awhile due to the lag...back now and loving it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
Yeah I was going to say that as well since I'm using it after it was optimized for Tegra2 processors.

Also, found that it was Perfect Keyboard that has the haptic feed back strength setting. DANG IT!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
@Zspy1985

So, how does GB compare to stock stability wise? I ran GB (CM7) exclusively on my HD2. I have been holding off on the g2x waiting for a CM7 RC...but I'm itching to flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
To be honest Gingerbread only gives a few extra perks besides the black notification bar, the glow when you hit the top and bottom of web pages and option screens. The main reason why I LOVE GB is the copy and paste function! Makes me wonder how they never had the arrow in the first place to move your selector around either!

P.S. / edit

To really answer your question about GB vs stock Froyo: I would have to say that the leaked GB is perfectly fine for daily use besides the few hangs on lock screen sometimes, lag on trying to end a call when removing the phone from your ear and some apps will lock the phone up forcing you to hold power to reboot.

Once again some of my issues seem like they are caused by apps I'm using to replace stock apps.
