If only someone had written guides, geared to the noob... hmm...

ha, check my signature man. Noob Root Guide.

Since you are on 2.2, you will need either the modified 3E, or odin to jfd and root with the update.zip.

fyi, this thread I reference is stickied to the top of this forum. You SHOULD have read it before posting, obligatory, had to say it.

Does anyone know what function is activated with VOLUME UP + POWER ?

The phone shows up as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM (chipset ?)

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
im g2 so it might diff but....when turn on hold vol dwn and pwr..get eng screen..activate recovery when icon pops u hit vol up and pwr to get rcvry menue...if stuck boot loop hold vol up pwr and center button to auto reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
so no qualcom stuff for me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
The volume down + power is the same on my device.

What happens if you instead of vol up/down + power use trackpad center + power ?

Never thought of it until my bootloader was bricked.

And what I meant in the first post was....

take out the battery, no cables connected.

then but in the battery and use vol up + power, then at least I get 3 beeps, and the charge led flashes repeatedly until I pull the battery again.

In this mode when I connect the phone to my puter it shows as a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device.

Unless I'm totally lost, the phones have Qualcomm CDMA Tech. MSM chipset 7xxx, Arm v7 CPU and Adreno GPU.

Thinking out loud from here.

Is it possible to use the mentioned mode, with some drivers and software to actually get some control over the chipset, nand chip etc. ?

If this is possible it should be a walk in the park to dd/flash a new HBOOT.

If someone can answer the question, please do. :)

I have a ticket with HTC Global contact system now, trying to sort out some of this, hopefully they can throw some light on the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
You hit the nail on the head. This is what is called "JTAG mode", and is similar to the G1's "blue light mode" that you get by turning it on with trackball and power. This is how HTC unbricks phones. If you can find all the JTAG connector points on the inside of the phone, then technically yes, you can change out absolutely anything you want. But it's not that simple ;)

Here's surgery for the G1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eITMEEF_AIc
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
Ok, so I've ordered myself a JTAG Riffbox now, with some JTAG adapters som start with.

Looking forward to getting them and playing around with my old HTC Hero :P

And off course even more excited to a release of some pinout info on the Vision/Z :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
Do you have any idea if it would be possible to use software and USB cable to the phone to unbrick it ?

I'm thinking, not being locked to the use of a JTAG adapter&box.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desirezbilal:
any progress ? i have also bricked by desire Z, and i also got to that mode but dont know what to do from there
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yukito1989:
I also have that.

You have found a fix yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
No fix for now, it seems like the developers / JTAG people has abanonded the Desire Z/G2 and moved on to newer phones, they have pinouts for the newer desire s, but the Z/G2 has nothing for now that is, I really hope they figure out AND shares the pinout, at least for us who bought the JTAG adapter and stuff.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Hey, today I acquired an IDEOS X5.

I have checked out a few things and wondering.

Could anyone make it clear for me within this...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13083454&postcount=1

"Ensure that there are no Huawei rom updates on your SD-Card in the dload folder and unplug the phone from your computer"

Where is this dload folder?

Next thing that seems unclear...

"Connect the phone to your computer. In windows it will automatically mount one mass storage device which corresponds to the /cust_backup folder on your phone. If your OS supports EXT3 it will mount multiple devices, look for the one with an images directory and this is the device to use."

Will I get a drive called /cust_backup or something?

Next sup, my phone is using B133, bought it from Teknikmagasinet.se. I noticed the sound isn't the best and camera has strange colors at time by time, plus when I call my voice sound disorted. Recoding sound doesn't sound bad.

So I wanted to try out this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059753

The thing is how do I install and will it damage anything if done correctly?

By seeing the installation guide I am guessing you would have to take the update option, not the install from zip option. Will it be a conflict with my swedish rom as it uses swedish and such things.

I really hope anyone would kindly help me !

Thanks in advance !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dash8brj:
You wont have a "dload" folder on your sd-card unless you actually put one there.

Before flashing anything, visit this page and grab a copy of the correct rom so you have a backup of the original - in your case I believe it to be the sweden expert rom (has the swedish in it). http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8800

Then put that on your SD-card in a folder called "original rom".

If things go pear shaped during flashing an alternate rom, just rename the folder to "dload" and you can then go into bootloader (both volume keys and power) and it will flash back to original, as if you had just taken the phone out of the box.

To get started first download the above rom and put it on your sd card as i stated.

Then download this recovery replacement: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1067490

Next, making sure you have no dload folder on the sd card (keep the backup as "original rom", put the phone into bootloader mode (purple screen).

connect it to the computer, and the cust_backup drive will show up. Rename the recovery image in that drive to recovery.bak, and copy the image recovery image downloaded to the drive. Now you have CWM installed.

From here you can try the BM160 rom by copying it and a bootloader to your sd card and using "install zip from sdcard" in clockwork recovery.

To get to clockwork recovery, turn the phone off, and press power + up volume.

hope this helps.

[Galaxy S II General] 1235sam:
I am thinking about switching to Galaxy S2. I want to know which provides better sound quality through headphone - Xperia Arc or GS2 ? Those who have tried both please answer. I know GS2 is powered by Yamaha DAC but which DAC is used in Xperia Arc ?
[Galaxy S II General] Calicodesiles:
From my own experience (I have used a Samsung Galaxy S - Wolfson audio codec), I have the feeling that the sound is very bad on my Xperia Arc, using PowerAMP :(

FYI, I have a Audio Technica ATH-A900 headphone and Phonak Audéo PFE 112 in-ear which are good earphones.
[Galaxy S II General] Zerin NAwar:
Are all audio technica earphones compatible with Xperia Arc S?
[Galaxy S II General] kulitom:
I have both devices. Xperia arc has better quality in calls and headphones, but V4A in sgs2 improve quality on headphones. Sgs2 with V4A is ok, not too bad, so i recommended you, V4A (root required) must be installed on sgs2. After that, sound quality is not too bad compared to xperia arc.

Sorry for my english, i'm from Poland.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr_Bushido:
I agree with you, but sometimes V4A "sucks" much battery, cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Moandal:
Quote from Ron Rule on twitter:

"How is it more 'convenient' to start an app, pick a card, enter PIN, then confirm vs. just swiping a credit card?"

You've got to admit he's got a point! Sometimes phones just aren't the best way to do things. I recently got my boarding card for a flight sent to my mobile as an MMS and it was a pain. It was a good way to show off my lovely SGS2 though! However next time I'm sticking to good old paper next time.
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
it's not as simple as just swiping a credit card, you have to take your wallet out of your pants and fumble around for your card. it's still probably faster than nfc still but the point of nfc imo is that if you have like a huge stack of cards like credit cards and gift cards, they're all just on your phone.

you wouldn't have to carry around all your cards on the off chance that you might want to use it that day. if you want to use your subway's gift card, it's already on your phone and you don't have to run home and get it
[Galaxy S II General] Mew178:
At least here in Croatia debit cards require a swiping, then have to be inserted into a machine and then you input a pin, wait a good 5~10 seconds for a confromation and you're done.

Credit cards require you to swipe the card and wait for the machine to print out a reciept that you have to sign.

So NFC makes a lot sense to me.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Most people have 1 card, some more.

It takes MUCH less place having cards, and if you can't take your card out properly, you need brain surgery or something.

For me this is just another marketing trick, like 3D.
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
i'm just going by the nfc video that engadget showed before, where it had not just your credit card but restaurant and store gift cards. if you don't use gift cards then this is irrelevant to you ;)

the point is that nfc isn't just used for credit cards. for example it was also used to check into google i/o
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Personally I don't trust the technology enough to entrust it with my credit and debit card details.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
+1 for now

However I won't deny the fact that having a phone with this feature which I won't use often or just incase IS better than having a phone without it.
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
Its not just about paying for things either, you could have a train ticket on your phone linked to foursquare and when you tap to go through the barriers it checks you in at that location automatically.

Or being at places where areas or stands could have nfc so people can get more information like having one at a restaurant automatically puts the name, number and menu on your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
nfc is going to come with next batch of s2 ?

i hav checked samsung's official website and it does not mention nfc anywhere..jst want to know if except korea any other has got nfc ? Like UK,etc...i also read that micro sd's are being made wid nfc support but they dont work in a metal tray.So guessing nfc will be added in our sim's by our respective carriers in the future if at all needed..i mean replace our old sim wid nfc included sim.Please correct me if im wrong,im jst pointing out that nfc takes a very small place and it can be placed even in a sim in near future.So not having nfc must not be an issue UNLESS IF SAMSUNG BRINGS NFC ON THERE NEXT OR 3RD BATCH OF S2 TO INDIA..early owners will be a whole lot of disappointd if sammy does so.anyway i doubt any country would get it 1st of all except korea ofcourse.
[Galaxy S II General] rex-tc:
They already have keychain quick devices that can load all your credit cards onto, and they are free.
[Galaxy S II General] rex-tc:
Wouldn't it also be an identity theft's dream come true. Your phone #s, social media info, credit card info, all located in one device. Also don't forget what do you do if your phone dies and you need to make a purchase? Or if you drop your phone? Or it gets stolen? Or buy a new phone (have to resync all that crap again)? So it isn't going to completely replace your credit card. Also for the guy that so fumble for your wallet. I guess your phone is in hand 24/7?
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
Actually I was wondering that the other day.

But I think it's worth having seeing as most of us have our hands in our phones a lot of the time, so of course in time, it'll probably become natural to those who use it.

I think that they need is a screen that can take a finger print and therefore NFC is only enabled when that certain fingerprint is on the screen. Sounds a bit far fetched but what are the bets that'll be implemented on phones in a year or two? :p :p There's only so many cores you can stick in one CPU :p
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
What everyone seems to be missing is that embedded NFC transactions won't just replace the swiping of a credit card, its able to do a lot more to change the way consumers shop and make transactions.

Let alone the multitude of other uses for NFC. People will start to use it for more than shopping as the technology becomes more widespread. Developers just need more incentive to be creative and really unlock it's potential.
[Galaxy S II General] slice77:
It wouldn't be the first time someone has distrusted a new technology because they don't understand it. No offense. I'm sure companies will start public awareness campaigns to quell this.

[Galaxy S II General] slice77:

[Galaxy S II General] lsj_87:
i'm studying electrical and electronic engineering and i'm sure sooner hackers will try hack the NFC to steal credit card details. But NFC is good for health monitoring in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] zoobzone:
I'm quite sick and tired of taking out my card out of my wallet every time I get on and get off a public transport, its so much hassle.

I would prefer to just scan the phone one one of those receivers since I always have my phone out on the public transport anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
I noticed in that google nfc video that you still have to sign your signature on the receiver, kinda a let down imo as paying at the pumps or shopping online you don't need any signature.

Hi,

I just got a used T-Mobile HD2. Tried to power it on by following methods, but none of them works:

1. Press "power" button; no reaction;

2. Press "vol up + vol dn" and "power" button, no reaction;

3. Reset using the yellow button underneath the battery and re-power, no reaction;

4. Charging it using wall charger, the phone start to vibrate periodically and the screen start to flash with "stick together" page, but the charging led light is still OFF.

Is this a hardware problem? Anything else I could try ? Thanks.

With the charger plugged in and on, try the vol up and down together and press both and power button, hold down till the 4 colour screen comes on then flash a new raido and then a new rom, use a 50 radio

I just recently bought a GT-i9020a with AT&T 3G compatible bands as a replacement for my Nexus One. The first thing I noticed when doing some 3G data transfer speed tests like on the SpeedTest.net mobile app is how much slower the Nexus S is compared to my Nexus One. I get anywhere between 1000-1900 kbps download and 500-1000kbps upload on the Nexus One. On this new Nexus S I'm lucky to get a third of those speeds both up and down. I've done the speed tests in the same location with both phones with the same SIM card and get consistently the same results.

I've gone into the *#*#4636 "Testing" setting and my preferred network type defaults to: GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
