[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pig Vomit:
My Vibrant is currently running stock KB5.

About every two days or so, I will be using the phone, and the colors on the screen will suddenly wash out, screen goes to max brightness, whatever is on the screen at the time stays up, and there will be two or three horizontal thin lines on the screen. The Menu, Home, Back, and Search keys all light up. The touchscreen and all buttons, including the power button, become unresponsive. Screen will not timeout. Only way to get out of it is to remove the battery and reinsert. If I am in the middle of a phone call, I am still able to continue speaking on the phone.....but can't hang up, adjust volume, etc.

I haven't tried any other ROMs since KB5 was released, so hard to say if another ROM would solve the issue. Don't flame me for sticking with KB5. I don't need my phone to do a lot....really just use it for calls, music player, Sirius, Google Maps/GPS, light web browsing. I'm not really opposed to running another ROM, I just found it to be a pain in the butt to be constantly switching ROMs as they are updated.

Anyone else experience this problem? Hardware or driver problem? If anyone else did have this problem, did switching to another ROM solve it for you?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECOTOX:
thats usually what happens when I OC too high or dont have enough voltage =3 is it just plain KB5, no mods right?? if so it shouldnt be doing that =/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pig Vomit:
No mods whatsoever. Completely stock, not rooted.

Hello guys, i got an HTC HD2 LEO EU with 8gb sd card

My question if is the hd2 still worth it, or are there any other good mobiles for a good price?

The main problem from the HD2 is the screen, it uses too much battery, its empty fast for me.

Im running Dorimanx ROM, with airplanemode standby is 2mA which is very good
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
common man this is a very personal mood dependent question !!

should you buy new clothes...?should you buy new laptops ??

common !think....
[HD2 General] OuncE718:
If you really want another phone then I'd honestly say hold out and wait for the Next Nexus phone to be released. The Hd2 is a very nice device with a lot of devs and roms to back it up. I honestly recently traded my myTouch 4g for this phone. This is a nice phone in my opinion. Its almost as if nothing can stop it.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Honestly, you should wait it out until really powerful phones that make it worth uprgading, are launched. Like the new nexus phone and the HTC Vigor, rumored to have a 1.5ghz dual core cpu. For now, the HD2 is still very much alive here and theres more to come(im particularly waiting for 576mb ram for android). The only thing that this beast cant do is play the new games only designed for dual core cpus. What i would do if i were you is keep the HD2(and take good care of it or course) as its such a good and fast Android phone. My friends recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Jet and the LG Optimus Black. My phone beat all of them in internet browsing, flash loading and pretty much everything! It got beaten by the iPhone4, but only by a second or so. Once it came to flash content, the iphone was left for dead. So, moral of the story:keep your HD2.If you really want the cool games on your device,get an ipod touch/ipad.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SuperElmo:
Hi everbody,

i'm a newbie within the Android on HD issue. I have read many threads but i didn't find a solution about my problem.

First i have tried the 'AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.5 CM7' SD-Version and i have the following problem.

If i get or take a phone call the display goes black and there are no reaction on key presses or so on. I think the android is crashed.

Only accu on/off will help

Did anyone have some i idea about the reason.

Best Regards

Superemo

i suggest you post this question in the roms thread...it could be sd card related....

I havent run sd card roms since january when NAND came out....
[EVO Shift 4G General] otaking71:
I accidentally figured this out.

You'll need temp root on the phone. Use any temp rooting method.

Push the extracted misc.img file to the sdcard.

Once you have root, dd the misc.img to the partition just above hboot.

In the case of the shift and the thunderbolt this is /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Once this is done..you can proceed to use any ruu (the full executable) or any properly signed AND named zip from hboot.

This has only been tested on the shift...but the theory is sound. If you are doing this on anything other than a shift/tb....please check the size of the partition just above hboot.

At this point this isn't tested enough/documented enough to warrant a full n00b friendly writeup. Somebody else can do that....but please credit me or this post for the source info.

I shelled out 100 bucks to get another shift and was forced to figure this out.

From what I've overheard it seems that it was otaking71 that discovered the exploit and scaryghoul helped him to recreate the method. Not knocking Scary (he knows I love him) but just to give big props to Ota, TheHbootRaper =)

I keep getting a permissions denied message whenever I try to do the dd part when trying to run it off a terminal emulator on my phone, plus that mmcblk0p17 file is buried in another folder, could that be making a difference?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
What folder is it burried in? and that's probably because you need temp root first
[EVO Shift 4G General] The Chosen Bum:
it's in msm_sdcc.2, I've already temp rooted
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
Um, that's odd. Are you using the guide posted in the dev forum?

Thank you so much for this, been waiting to get my EVO shift rooted again. Of course I never like having to do all the settings over again but whatever. Thank you!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] otaking71:
sort of dumb luck/bad luck. I wouldn't have touched it if I didn't break my phone over the weekend. Got the replacement and it was 2.3.3. and nobody had cracked it...so I brute forced my way into it.

I when I figured out hboot was actually locked..I poked around for similar partition structures on other htc phones. Then I asked scary about what I had noticed...and proceeded to cook up a way to override hboot's rejection and it actually worked. It was rather lengthy/tedious since I wasn't sure what to expect. Once it was done...we noted everything I had done...and boiled it down to the bare necessities.

I'm having the same problem...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
i keep getting cannot open for read no such file or directory

when i try to 3. Modify the misc partition to bypass the version check, type the following in an adb shell or a terminal emulator on your phone.

Code:

dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

anyone have any ideas?

i did temp root right i reformatted my card not quick format either and temp root again

same issue

any one know what im doing wrong?

thanks in advance
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
Do you have the misc.img on your sdcard directly on the top level?

When you type this command, do you see a # or $?, # means root, $ is just user(Not root). If you have $, you should try the temp root over and over until it works.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
thanks for the reply!

i figured what the problem was the zip file i needed to rename it img it worked through terminal so im just hoping i can get this gingerfail 2.3 off the evo 4g lol

thanks to everyone who was apart of this i was loosing it without root about to throw the evo out the window
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, and most importantly thanks for the root (my phones already rooted, but just in case, ya know). If you and the other smart guys can put your heads together and make a 1-click root or a gui to make it easier for guys like me (took me over an hour to root the first time!) to root in the future, that would be seriously awesome. Any word on a proper GB root, without the downgrade?
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I don't see a real reason to keep working on perm root for GB since downgrading and rooting gives about the same results as perm rooting GB, I think the only perk to doing it this way is you get to actually downgrade your bootloader to the engineering bootloader which is a lot better than that new one ota users got nailed with
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
I agree with you, but don't you think Htc is gonna fix this downgrade option quickly? Also with the perm root option for GB may give us another hole to use.,after they pug the downgrade hole we could move on to the next hole. Just Sayin.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
Pretty much my thinking as well. Besides, there are plenty of people - like myself - who find root to be frightening, and prefer simpler methods to root. (tempted to roll back to RUU just to test this root method).

I love running CM although, I need better battery life.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
The same logic applies to any possible 2.3 root exploit. The only use of finding a 2.3 exploit would be if the person who discovered it kept it completly to themselves. Otherwise we're just making it so HTC can plug 2 exploits in 1 OTA.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] wwjoshdew:
WHY do you all care so much about FUTURE plugs, patches, and etc. Plenty of my peeps on YouTube and SDX have been without root since they wanted GB SO BAD that they took the OTA. When I had been telling them all long, ROOT THE SHIFT (with the 2.2 they had before) and then install CyanogenMod 7 (that's a link to the STABLE version of Gingerbread). They will have an awesome rom, and rooted Gingerbread. I don't take OTA updates on my HTC EVO 3D. I wait for someone here to put together an update.zip that includes the GOOD stuff from the update and takes out the BAD stuff from the update. Plus, CM7 is HERE! for the EVO 3D and Sensation!
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
Yes dead on with that,guess with the 2.3.3 exploit that agrabren is working on would be eliminating the steps you do to dwngrd to root. You make great sense oh great Shift Faced One! :D

Misc.img and the zip are at the root of my sdcard. I'm rooted. I went in adroid terminal gave it su then typed in dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17. Of course without the period. It gave three sets of numbers. I figured it worked so i disabled fastboot and shut down. Booted into the loader. It said no img and wrong or no img. Suggestions?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
In order for bootloader to recognize my sd card I had to format it to fat32, which has been the case for others too. I know Scary said that his sd even formated still wasn't recognized. I would suggest formatting your sd (it will erase everything so make a backup) or trying a different card. If you still have the 2GB card that came with your phone you could format it and try again.

this thread should be stickied
[EVO Shift 4G General] otaking71:
Intentionally bumping this thread to make a point.

The ideas were originally mine and the instructions were written by scaryghoul. It makes no sense that more than two versions of a script to perform a concept is not allowed.

And even I'll admit that my idea was borrowed elsewhere...which is why I did not make a modified file. It was to give credit to where I had found it. I could have easily made my own file from scratch after understanding how the exploit work

Devnull does not have any say on the original idea. The credit for the idea belongs to me and scaryghoul, or even the tb guys if you want to go back that far.
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Very good point
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evil_DevNull:
You have credit on thread and the batch. quit complaining
[EVO Shift 4G General] otaking71:
Who said anything about complaining?

All I did was point out the facts. I'm all about choices and options. That's the whole point of root, is opening up those options.

If it bothers YOU, that others are offering another option, why even bother rooting?

HTC screen flashing

I used this method to get into hboot, but i think the original PG06IMG.zip i tried to use was from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082192 instead of here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255474.

with the first file hboot would give me the option to update and i'm not exactly sure what i did when i was navigating bootloader, but it didn't seem to be updating(downgrading) anything. when i tried to reboot my phone this is when the flashing HTC screen started.

I discovered that i downloaded the wrong file and got the right one. now in hboot, it's seems that i have successfully run the update 3 times now but, i can fully reboot my phone. i've tried rebooting in hboot and swapping out sdcard so that hboot wouldn't pick it up. I can't figure what i've done wrong.

is this a brick?

should i factory reset?

or...?
