Here is what I did.

1. If you were to update to the OTA 4.5.91. Or already on the OTA 4.5.91 you can still unlock your bootloader.

2. Flash pudding only SBF so you can unlock the bootloader. http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar direct link. Flash this one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 Original Post about pudding.

It will go to a text only 14 option screen and say something like boot failed 0x1000. Don't freak out and tell me you bricked you phone blah blah blah. You still have to unlock the bootloader by choosing fastboot from your phone and connecting it to the computer via usb. Make sure you have ADB with fastboot tools installed on you computer.

Open command prompt from you computer and type fastboot oem unlock. It'll display warning about voiding warranty and a unique device id. Type again fastboot oem unlock ############. The # are the unique device numbers. Don't type # it wont work. The instructions are posted on the pudding thread if you would like to read more about it.

Then type fastboot reboot to reboot. Unlock should be displayed on top left of screen and it'll take 5 long mins to boot up.

3.Then you need to install CWM and root.

You'll find instructions in the developers form. But if your lazy here is the CWM link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 follow the instructions or every time you reboot you will loose CWM. For root there are two available for gingerbread. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1140110 I used this one and got root.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1138204 I hear this works too.. Haven't tested read the post if you want to use this method.

As always don't blame me for bricking if you happen to do so. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. these are the steps I took to unlock and everything works great. Absolutely no problems with my phone after wards.

One thing unlocking your bootloader will format/erase data. Basically a factory data reset so make sure you backup everything with titanium or you favorite app. I would not restore system apps as i've had a few problems with email and motoblur force closes.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeXtmL:
not sure. i got a leaked 4.5.91 build, it's not unlocked (although early beta does). you still have to flash the pudding img yourself.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EclipseX:
delect this post
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
The returns were genuine. I did a factory reset on the first one and it still kept locking up, on the wake up. Had to pull battery out to turn back on. Multiple times. Second one was a complete brick. I couldn't get into rsd, wouldn't turn on and computer didn't recognize it in any mode. Im pretty familiar with rsd, used it with OG and X but this one got me walking om egg shells.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
hmm you are very unlucky then. You're the only one to hard brick from pudding. Probably advise you not to do anything with your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
im on build number 4_1.8.3 and i check for updates and it says my device is up to date. any

ideas?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
4.1.83 is a great point to unlock the bootloader. DO NOT install the 4.5.91 OTA udpate, too risky to hard brick if you flashed an sbf. Of course, you don't have to sbf back anymore, but I would steer way clear of that when there are perfectly good options available. Only use customized ones like Kenneth's or the CherryBlur ROM. More will start flowing soon.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
So what your advising is not to even unlock it. All I really want is volume wake.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
That's the exact opposite of what I'm advising. I knew I was taking some level of risk when I unlocked, but it's a risk well worth taking. Very, very low failure rate. Recoverable. But I can't accept the risk for your phone. ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
Oh gotcha. Thanks for the info.

i used update.zip ..did not flash back to 1.83...update.zip (blur 1.83 etc etc) was from leaked moto servers...i have new bootloader cause my andriod recovery is different...of course BL is locked....can i still unlock??
[HD2 General] htown89:
I just bought a new T-mobile HD2 and just found out it is rooted with ultimate droid 2.5.0 umm says model number is HTC brovo...android version 2.2.1....thats all i can seem to get a hold of. But I have rom manager (free) installed,super user installed nothing in it...What can i do with this phone?? do i need to update anything??
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well I think you have the ROM from this thread so yes you have the most up to date version of your ROM. But you updating is up to you and your wants and needs. There are so many ROMs out there to choose from. You just have to check them out to see if you like them better. Ohcand don't forget the MIUI ROMS.

Hope this helps some.
[HD2 General] htown89:
That pic in the link is what shoews up while its booting so if i want a different rom what would you suggest? also any help on a video or post you can point me too to show me how to change roms quick since my phone is rooted already?

Come on you may be new here but at least put some effort into searching :p :p :p

There are a bag full most of them very good.

Its a matter (as T-m said) of choosing one you like the look of and give it a go, I like the rom in my sig, but hay have a good look around :cool:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry for the late response buit to change Andriod ROMs quickly all you have to do is use Clockwork Mod Recovery. Check out the guide in my sig to learn how to use Clockwork Mod Recovery and also look for the link at the top of the guide to the HD2 NAND Toolkit. This toolkit is a all in one tool to flash anything that can be flashed to NAND on the HD2. Makes flashing the HD2 easy as pie in my opinion.
[HD2 General] htown89:
Since you seem like the only one helping me i also have another issue the globe on the main screen you press to get to internet is gone and when i click the blank space it says no application. It was working fine but now the only way to use the internet is when i downloaded firefox and can access the internet threw there. Although i rather use my old one before it went missing...Any advise on what i should do to get it back?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok first do you have the globe icon in your app tray? If so you need to long prrss the icon so you can move it to your home screen then long press it again to drag it to the open spot on your launcher. ;)

If that does not work for some odd reason or is not a option for you. Then you might want to look and see if you have a NANDroid back up of your ROM made with Clockwork Mod Recovery. To do this you need a file manager such as Astro File Manager. Then go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and see if a backup exists in that folder. if so you can use Clockwork Mod Recovery to do a restore with that backup. How you get to Clockwork Mod Recovery depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK for your Android bootloader. So you might want to say which one you are using. Or just check out my sig you will find both methods in the guide link. Anyway after you do a restore you shouild have the problem fixed. But be warned, the backup will revert any app version if it has older app versions backup.
[HD2 General] htown89:
Also i noticed on my htc hd2 when i bought it under Model number is Htc bravo? is that normal?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
It says Bravo cause that is probably the device the ROM came from. It probably started out as a ROM dump from a bravo.
[HD2 General] htown89:
No. icon was not in app tray ..Also no i did not have a back up clockwork in my sd .. So where do i go from here? I can access clockwork threw rom manager but no older version available
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
"

Ok I suggest you do a reset of your ROM thos requires:cool: Clockwork Mod Recovery. It depends on if you use MAGLDR or cLK as to hpw you have to boot into CWM.

To get to CWM with MAGLDR you hold the end key down while booting your HD2 to get to the MAGLDR main menu. Select either option #2 AD SD or option #8 AD recovery. One of the two should boot you into CWM if you are using MAGLDR.

To boot into CWM if you are using cLK you need to hold down thechome key while you boot your HD2.

Next you select "wipe data/factory reset and then select yes and it will reset the ROM just like it was when first installed.

If this does not work go to the thread I linked for you in post #2 and download the ROM. I looked and the ROM developer says nothing about having two versions of the ROM. Then copy the zip file you download to your SD card. Then you want to boot your HD2 into Clockwork Mod Recovery.

So after you are booted into CWM you need to select "install zip from sd". Then you select "choose zip from sd". Then you just find the zip file on your sd card and select it the select yes and it will flash your ROM. Now be warned this will be just like a hard rest of your ROM. You will lose anything not backed up on your computer or SD card.

You can though make a backup of your current ROM though seeing as it is the same ROM I told you to download. You can then use the advance restore and only restore your data and cache, this should atleast put the globe icon back in your app tray and you can then move it as I said in my last post.

Sorry for the long post jist wanted to cover as much as posible in one post.
[HD2 General] htown89:
when i choose #2 it says "SD kernel option failed" and #8 says "No boot sources"
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
SD Kernel failed means you either do not have the two necassary files, initrd.gz and zImage, to boot CWM from your SD card. Or that something is wrongcwithcCWM and you need to delete and re copy good files to your SD card to be able to boot CWM from your SD card.

No boot source means you so not have CWM flashed to NAND of your HD2. Or maybe something is wrongcwith your CWM in NAND. But I am leanong more towards no Cwm flashed to NAND. Which is weird cause Ultimate Droid does not have a DAF file with it Idon't think. To flash CWM to your NAND I recomend you use the HD2 NAND Toolkit

Either way it goes it means you do not have a working CWM on your HD2. My advice, you need CWM,

Let me know if you have any trouble flashing CWM. Later...........

[HD2 General] htown89:
Ok so MAGLDR is CWM?

And even though i pwer up my phone and says a have MAGLDR 1.13 the latest version?
[HD2 General] htown89:
Also my red green blue and white screen it says SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Your bootloader is fine. (2.08 HSPL is what you want and have)

Flash CWM from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898913

use the 150 for smaller aosp roms such as CM7, use the bigger ones for like Sense 3.0 and such.

just flash it via the USB flasher in MAGLDR, then use the ad recovery option to enter CWM from magldr and flash the ROM from there.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
also, off topic I know, but it's good to see a fellow houston HD2 owner hacking his phone :)
[HD2 General] htown89:

Alright so when I take a photo, it saves just fine, and stays on it, But when I take the card out and than put it back in, they're erased for ssome reason. It just sstarted doing it yesterday, every picture I have saved from previous times stay there, only the new ones get erased. And its not only pictures i take. If I download an image off the web, when I pop my SD out than in, those get deleted to. So far videos dont get erased though. Anyone know why this is happening? I just formatted it now to troubleshoot but that didn't work :(

Are the photo files going into the LOST.DIR folder on the sd card or are they just disappearing?

"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Doesnt go into the LOST.DIR folder. And the space frees up on the SD card.

So its officially only doing it to the photo format files. I formatted my SD and than put everything back on it, put it in my phone, it scanned and it all showed up just fine.

Problem occurs when I take the SD out and than put it back in, the media scanner re-scans it and now every picture was deleted. All the videos, music files, zips, etc all stood on the SD card.

Just wondering why the heck only the images are being tossed...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
I'm thinkin it may be somewhat my fault afterall. Whenever I normallu remove my SDcard I just pop it out without going to settings and unmounting ffirst. If I yo to settings aand unmount before I take the card out now the ffiles stay on it so far. I guess thats my "fix" for it if that keeps working correctly.

So anyone having this problem, unmount in settings/SD card and storage before removing the card and see it the files you'd normally lose stick.

I followed those rules. Also had to reflash the rom when a theme I was testing got stuck in a boot loop. Pics I had saved before thereflash disappeared after the reflash. I've formatted the card twice, as well.

[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
As I said, once you buy something it's yours to do what you want with. Yes, you can find the dev elsewhere, and one can only assume he will continue developing for a device that was at least partially funded with donation money. But it's the principle of it all. Donations to devs *after* a software project has been released is one thing. Donations to a dev with the stated purpose of obtaining a device -- and the implied expectation of developing for the donating user base -- is quite a different matter. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it this way, but if I had donated to help buy a phone for someone & they left that forum, I would feel used & abandoned, and proly a little resentful.

Just wait a bit and see what he has in store, and chill out about where the files will be released.
