[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Hello xda-developers :)

I'd like to know if there's a common registry editor (or method) which gives full access on all Windows Phone 7 devices (HTC, Samsung, LG, ...)? It really would help me with my tutorial (which is already on in the development section - just needs some improvement) :)

If there's no tool which can do it, please tell me which phone model you have and which registry editor you tried and like :)

I'd really appreciate your help :) Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudelm:
I think there are registry editors for WP7, but they only work on developer or unlocked phones. Normal marketplace certified apps aren't allowed to manipulate registry in that way.

By the way: how does this unofficial registry editor work? Usage of private API involved?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Yes, it's homebrew and not allowed on the marketplace. And I guess the unofficial registry editors work with those private API's.

Well, still searching for a good method to edit registry on all devices :( By the way: Does someone know a good registry editor for HTC devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmiuc:
hello,

btw, is there a reg editor for HD7 that will give access to the 'access restricted', so as to be able to do some of the recomendations? It seems everyone is seeking a solution, but I didn't see any real answer or programs out there to do...

just that hb for the samsung...

hope someone has an answer soon..

thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Well, I'm not into registry editors for HTC devices, but maybe someone can help you :) By the way, it's important to tell us what version of WP7 you use (7004, 7008 or higher..)

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
My HTC HD2 doesn't pass the white-green HTC screen anymore. I am able to flash it (when I flashed HSPL it said We hacked it) but still not able to go through the HTC screen. I tried flashing an original WM6 ROM, but the device still hangs at the HTC screen...:(

Can anyone help me? Is my phone bricked?
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

Your phone is not bricked.

What are you trying to install?

What radio do you have installed?

Flashing an original WM ROM should be done via sd card and it will remove HSPL.

Please give more information.

:)
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I installed RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.66.404.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

(that didn't work, if I only install this one I get a black screen after the HTC screen)

The tricolorscreen says:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08 HSP: 8G XE

0X05

CotullaHSP 0X50

I will try to flash the original rom via sd card, but that is where it started.. The last time I flashed it (I had WP7 and wanted to try WM6.x) it stopped working. I flashed it via sd card and the second time I tried (when it already had stopped) it was hanging at 'Loading...'.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

I take it from the ROM you tried to install that you are in the Netherlands.

Did you get the serial number from your phone and feed it into HTC support site?

Go to HTC site>support>download>ROM upgrade and choose appropriate ROM upgrade for your phone

Change the .exe to .zip and

Extract with winrar or 7z the RUU_Leo_HTC_****************************_Ship.zip

find the larger *.nbh file and rename it to leoimg.nbh and place this file on an sd card that is 4gb or less

and reboot to bootloader (the one with 4 colors,hold volume down button until you see "SEARCHING")

follow the instructions from there.

If you had WM7 on your phone ,you should reformat your sd card to fat 32 before putting on the leoimg.nbh

Backup your data first.

:)
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I flashed the original nbh file (from HTC site with my serial number) via sd card. Now it hangs at a black screen after the HTC screen.

On the HTC screen, there now is this:

R 2.15.50.14

G 14.42.50.11U

D 3.14.04666

But after that, the screen goes black (first black lines, than black screen). The backlight stays on.

The colored screen now says this:

Pb81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x50

What can I do now?
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

I think the problem is the SPL-3.03.

Did you get a choice of original ROMS to download?

Try to get 1.43 and 1.48 roms that come with spl 1.42.0000

:)
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I tried flashing 1.48 EU English (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship)

It says

00028002

Not allowed

when starting. After this it goes back to tricolor screen
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

ROM code error usually means that official ROM is not for that HD2.

Other than that ,are you using 4GB or less sd card?

Is the phone charged to more than 50%?

:)
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I downloaded the original Dutch 1.48 rom

(RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.48.404.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship)

from the HTC website and installed it via SD card.

Now the tricolor screen is:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.0000

etc.

When I start the phone, I see the HTC logo

A few seconds later this appears:

R 2.05.51.05^^^2

G 15.28.50.07U

D 1.48.71294

then, about a minute later, lines and a black screen.

Is there any hope?
[HD2 General] ubejd:
Try task29- it will erase rom in your hd2 ( it needs hspl )

or

You could try android or wp7 just to see if it works ( other than this i dont know what to say - sorry ).
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I tried that (Android & WP7 won't work, because I can't get into MAGLDR. I do get it installed but I can't boot into it).

Tomorrow I'll try task 29.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Run Task 29 after flashing HSPL. This will clean out your system, then flash the 1.48 ROM by SD card method again.

Was there not a 1.66 Netherlands ROM version you could have downloaded?
[HD2 General] fsjvlassis:
thanks guys
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
I flashed HSPL and did task 29. After this, when I flashed the original rom, it stopped with an !.

The second time I tried installing the rom, it just installed but it doesn't start. Only lines and black screen.
[HD2 General] ubejd:
during flashing procces does your phone gets hot ?

If yes thats hardware problem ( + software )... in this case to make sure try this:

Take out battery, simcard, sdcard and put it in a fridge for 5-10 min ( put phone in a bag to protect from watter), then take your phone and try to flash rom with sdcard method and post results.
[HD2 General] bartjakobs:
The phone doesn't get hot. An update only fails the first time after a Task 29. The second update succeeds, but then it hangs at HTC or black screen.
[HD2 General] type96:
I have same problem but not can fix it Many Thanks for all information.

Up new ROM via SD Card.

[Focus General] Blogus:
Hi everyone.

I bought an At&T Samsung focus on ebay and have been having issues getting it to work on Fido here in Canada.

I called At&T and got the sim unlock code for my imei

Voice worked.

changed APN but couldn't get data to work unless i allowed data roaming

Don't see a triangle though!

The bigger problem is that when I turn data on, voice doesn't work. It doesn't make or receive calls! Turn roaming off, I loose data and voice works.

I've been reading like mad and am confused about chevron sideloading, nodo update..I've avoided doing a nodo update until I know what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Phone is rev 1.3

OS version is 7.07004.0

Firmware Revision 2103.10.11.2

hardware revision 3.1.0.7

radio sw v. 2103.10.11.2

radio hw v. 0.0.0.3

bootloader v. 4.11.0.9

chip SOC v. 0.36.2.0
[Focus General] Stuie:
That is odd behavior you are having, I personally have a Rogers Focus on Telus and have had none of the issue you are having.

If you wish to unlock, would would need to do so before upgrading to NoDo which I would personally suggest doing.

I believe what you might be able to do, is flash the Rogers ROM on your ATT device which may actually improve your situation but I would confirm if that is even possible first.
[Focus General] munkeyphyst:
There does seem to be a flashable Rogers Canada ROM in the Focus windows 7 development forum
[Focus General] Stuie:
Looks like it is possible to flash the Rogers ROM on an AT&T Focus
[Focus General] Blogus:
That's what I have been looking into. The phone has stopped taking calls silently a few more times since posting here.

I'm now getting messages that there is an update available for me and under details it lists feb as the release date so it's the nodo update.

Hoping the rogers one will work.. time to do some reading..
[Focus General] Blogus:
Is the unlock mentioned different from the cellular unlock that I did with the code from AT&T?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Yes. It's called developer unlock, actually. Have a look here and here for Chevron unlock.

think I've lost baseband...(whatever that means...basically phone won't recognize a sim card is loaded) is there a way to fix this without Oding ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FReQ Z:
Does the phone say there's no SIM card inserted? If so, run to any T-mobile store and ask for a new SIM.

Also, I was having data issues two days ago. I keep a copy of the KB5 modem that's flashable in Recovery. Just re-flash and all was good.

T-mobile APN address:

epc.tmobile.com

Wish I could attach the KB5 file for ya, but I can't. Just search for it.

try clearin the data from settings
[Xperia Play General] badman112:
Sorry i am alittle new to android and still getting use to it how do i clear the data i can get in my setting luckily i left a icon on the main screen but not at the bottom.

Also will this clean my phone like a reset and loose all my programmes phone numbers and everything thats been installed, if so how do i back everything up.

Thanks
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Go to settings, then applications, then click manage applications, find your launcher in the list, click on it, and go to clear data. This will only clear the data for the launcher, and reset it to default settings.
[Xperia Play General] badman112:
Tried clearing the data does not work im not sure what to do now other than a hard reset but how can i back all my data up. along with all my appz, i cant even get into contacts either.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
what launcher are you using? press the search button, search for the market and just try another launcher :)
[Xperia Play General] badman112:
Appreciate all the help but its back to the shop its had a hard reset and a new install im now guessingits probably damaged at the bottom as you can rotate the screen and use the d-pad to navigate and press.
[HD2 General] gregor070:
hello!

I'm having a htc hd2 now for 1 year but now i got a huge problem!

My hd2 is recharging with my usb cable but my computer cant see it as portable device and i cannot sync it.

I want to update my hd2 with the last updates and i was wondering if its possible to update from only my SD card or with wireless connection to my computer.

thank you instead.

kindest regards,

Gregor
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

Did you recently change sofware on your pc/laptop?

Did you remove ActiveSync for XP or WMDC for Windows 7?

These are required for synching.

:)
[HD2 General] fred_up:
It depends on what updates you are taking about.
[HD2 General] gregor070:
well i havent upgraded my OS on my comp it's the same OS as it used to be. I already tried to use another usb cabel but that didnt work. I tried hard reset on my htc also not working. And im talking about moving from windows mobile 6.5 to 7.

And syncing isn't working because my comp doens't see my htc.

thnx again,

kindest regards
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

Other things that you can try:

Different cable(are you using an HTC data cable?)

Different USB port

:)
[HD2 General] gregor070:
Yes i have already tried that thnx anyways;) and recharging works....:O
[HD2 General] fred_up:
You could always try another computer.

But if you cannot connect over USB therefore the only ROMs you can flash are updates. If you have previously flashed HSPL then you can flash custom WinMo ROMs. The only other option is to run Android from the SD Card.
[HD2 General] gregor070:
thank you:D i will go try the android option! and what about bluetooth connection with my laptop? could i perform an update with a connection like that?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Not for WP7 or ROM ANDROID.
[HD2 General] gregor070:
okay i will try the updates thank you verry much man :D

Hi everyone

I have this problem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gu9oKlWq1Y

Anyone know how to solve this problem ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Just as a disclaimer, every phone will lose signal if you grip it a certain way. Remember the iphone debacle?

But the quick fix is to just put a case on it. Your body will no longer interfere with the antenna and your phone will have the added bonus of surviving a fall.

Sent from my T-mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Downside is cases tarnish the natural beauty of the phone that the cell phone manufacturers intended. I just take the risk. I would rather have a nice looking phone IMHO.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregiel16:
I already have this one http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-G2-/-HT...C4-G2XXX_color=20&start=1&cgid=desire-z-cases
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
gripping

ANY

phone tightly/awkwardly over the antenna will cause loss of signal. Some are worse than others, but it happens to any modern phone with an internal antenna. Cases help, but you're still going to be able to replicate it if you try hard enough. The phones are designed so that the antenna will more than likely not be blocked if you're holding it in any normal conventional way during regular use.

One usual culprit for the G2/DZ is the WiFi signal getting weaker when using the hardware keyboard, because your hands are covering the top and bottom of the device.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregiel16:
so isn't any idea to solve or help a little with this problem ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Like I just said, there's nothing you can do other than just don't hold the phone in such a ridiculous way. You can't move the antenna inside the phone, it is where it is.

In normal use I highly doubt you'll ever see drastic signal drop because of the way you hold your phone. Nobody normally holds a phone in the way shown in the video.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregiel16:
So tell me how to play in gameloft games where all of them is in landscape mode
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
like I said, using the phone normally (yes even playing games in landscape) your signal shouldn't drop so low that you will be completely disconnected from the network. Don't get scared just because the bars drop.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregiel16:
But i already play at Order and Chaos and this game are also in landscape mode and unhappily i get lost connection every few minutes ;/ and the game has reconnecting.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
There's nothing I can tell you. The antenna is where it is. If for some reason you're in a low signal area to start and you cover the antenna you're going to see loss of signal.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregiel16:
Tell me if i give back this mobile on warranty then they are able to solve issue ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
You're not listening.

Every

phone has this issue if you hold it in the right place. Its a cell phone with an antenna. Its just going to happen, there's nothing you or the manufacturer can do to "fix" it after the phone has been made.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
I acutally thought this was a radio problem. I switched radios and noticed a slight improvement.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
A radio update can help your signal a bit overall, but it will never remove the effect of strategically covering the physical antenna. What it would help with is a default low signal, that gets worsened to the point of disconnection from the network by covering the antenna (aka your normal signal could be higher, so that when it gets lessened it still stays connected).
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
Anyone having any issues with Chrome to Phone app from the market? Everytime I try to go through the setup i'm getting "Error: Unable to connect". Working fine on my Nexus 1 still, but can't seem to get my sensation to setup.

Doing this on 4G (Tried WIFI); tried reboot, tried uninstall, cleared cache...dunno what else could be up unless it's account related.

No issues here. Seems to be running fine for me.
[HTC Sensation] NZtechfreak:
Likewise working well here.
[HTC Sensation] aagvain:
same issue here. havent found a fix yet
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
Looking over the reviews on the market it seems there may be a server issue with some accounts; counted at lest 5 people stating the same error hmm. Went to retry the setup on my N1 by removing and re linking now i have the same error on the N1. Using my secondary (read: porn account) it works fine :/

Hopefully it's a temp issue; C2P is invaluable for my travel!
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
Just bumping this with some more info; since all you guys are going to be flashing again now; you may hit up against this issue also.

They merged a couple bug reports into this one:

http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=158

Please Star and comment if your having the issue also; they've yet to acknowledge this one just yet although it's been close to a year since first reported but as people began flashing more it will likely continue to increase; it went from about 5 till like June then jumped to almost 30 in July.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
I've noticed that a bunch of people are running into battery usage issues recently and I'm one of them. I'm looking for a clean cut way to get back to great battery life. There has to be some funky crap going on that can easily be cleared with some Odin flashing, but I'm not entirely sure what to do.

I achieved great battery life last time by flashing to stock ED1 (stockrootedED1-20110517.tar) then accepted the OTA for EE4. After this, my memory gets hazy. I can't remember what I did after this, but I think I flashed some version of Altered Beast via Odin. I eventually went over to GummyCharged 1.5 and had amazing battery life.

Last week I started going a bit nuts with installing themes and updating the new ROM versions, and now my phone has crappy battery life. I tried flashing various Odin packages but I'm not having any luck getting that good battery life back.

And the fact that Odin is a flaky piece of crap doesn't help. Please do not post "use Heimdall," because I wanted to get something posted for Odin users and that would ruin the point.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Danalo's Odin bundle had a bad download link last night so I couldn't test that out. I'm giving that a shot now to see if that clears the battery drain issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Whoops, I'm probably going to get bashed for not posting this in the General forum despite the fact that his is a specific issue. Sorry in advance, imnuts.

And please, do not point me to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132726. That thread is useless.

EDIT: Proof that my battery didn't suck:
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Nope. Just flashed the Odin bundle that danalo made and my battery dropped from 85%-84% while going through the initial setup.

This is crap. What the heck is going on?
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
I'm having the same experience. I've tried GC and Altered beast - different kernels.. every combo gives me terrible battery. I had to send my phone back to verizon so I was running stock EE4 for about a week and it was significantly better battery than any of the custom roms. I've tried wiping everything, battery life, cache, factory, even wiped my @$$ every time I changed anything and those gremlin bastards are still chugging my battery life.

I think this is a good section (development) for this post to see if anyone can actually figure out the problem, I've seen several posts claiming to fix the problem in the different development threads and none of them are legit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Yeah, flashing the Odin bundle that danalo made did not help :( I don't understand what is causing the issue.

After flashing the Odin bundle, my batter y dropped from 85% to 84% while running through the setup process (log into Google, etc.). Ridiculous. Then I went outside for a smoke and checked out some web pages.

My battery is now at 67% and it has only been ~35minutes since I flashed the Odin bundle. How can a battery drop from 85% to 67% in that short of time?

Voodoo is disabled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
Well here is my solution

I just ordered this back pack looking thing from new egg, it looks like the old ghost busters proton pack but has mini usb port. it weighs 30lbs but now my charge can stay plugged in and make it through a 12 hour day
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
That'll do! Or this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14685613&postcount=459

I found one of my posts where I laid out my steps to obtain EE4 radios with custom kernels/ROMs. I'm trying this now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mikey6p:
You really can't judge battery life until a few days after you flash something, due to battery calibration.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
I can judge it if it's dropping 1% per minute.
