[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
I do not get the bootloader screen.

If I turn the phone on without having usb connected it just goes straight to HTC screen with exclamations in each corner, it doesn't matter which configurations of buttons you press it will NOT go to boot loader.

Then...

If I plug in the usb it displays the same HTC screen, it is only when I unplug the USB that it shows the boot screen I quoted earlier. It doesn't matter if it is switched on or not when I plug in the USB. No matter what buttons I press I get presented with the HTC screen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Read my post and forget the boot loader
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
I have read your post and tried to understand it but I am not the 'UP' on all this sort of stuff. I have tried to get adb to work but nothing.

I couldn't see anything about 'Manual setup'.

As the RUU said that it contained the HBoot I thought that would just wipe it back to factory and that would be the end of it. (Newbie I know lol).

I (think) I am in fastboot!!.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
1. power off the phone completely

2. remove sd card

3. press and hold Volume-, while holding press Power (still hold down Volume-)

4. you are in bootloader

5. connect usb cable- fastboot is active, adb is not working

6. flash bravo_downgrade.img using fastboot commands
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
Nope. I was not in fastboot.

I just can't figure out why nothing will work.

I cannot use android flasher as that just gives me error messages.

What am I doing wrong??

Looks like I'm gonna be giving my wife my HD2!!!......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
That's just it!. holding volume down does absolutely NOTHING. All I get id the HTC screen with the exclamation marks in the corners!.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
I have got android flasher working on another pc. I clicked to flash the downgrade bravo image and it said it has but nothing has changed?????

Still stuck at HTC screen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
Try flashing RUU now- put SD back into the phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
Tried to run RUU again but failed. When I flashed the downgrade thing it said:

error: device not found

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No its nothing to do with the bootloader
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Were you in fastboot? I.e back and power from off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
Back and power doesn't do anything. Phone still just turns on to the HTC screen with the exclamation marks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I know, which I told you is right! Stay sharp!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
I don't understand???

Why does it say signature checking............

Failed?????

Now when I unplug it from the pc it goes to the white screen but now it says Bravo at the top and S-ON

But still it fails.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ok so it was successful if its s-on. Now you can RUU which you also need to do from fastboot (back + power)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
I can't run the ruu as Back+Power doesn't work!.

I have clicked to run the ruu and it goes through the process as though it is going to update but then says it cannot update and that I need to get the correct update.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What do you mean it doesn't work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
Holding the back button while powering up doesn't boot any different, it still only shows the HTC screen with the exclamations in each corner. Exactly the same with holding volume down whilst powering up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Am I going f*cking insane?

For the third and FINAL time, this is correct! You hold back and power and get to the screen with the four ! (NOT Vol down).

This screen is fastboot or at least it would have been before you f*cked it up by doing things you didn't understand. I've been posting the same thing for HOURS now, so please for the love of god, read this post 10 times before replying with nonsense!

Pull out the battery.

Put it back in

Hold back and power

At the screen with !!!! Plug in usb

Run RUU

Ok??????

Jesus
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
lol. Sorry if I seem thick.

Right......

Holding down the back button and powered on..... Got the four exclams

Do NOT get a screen with plug in usb......... plugged it in anyway......

Clicked on pc to run RUU...........

RUU Fails..........

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This means the RUU you have is not for your phone. I.e your phone is network/carrier/operator branded. By the way that RUU is android 2.1. You DO NOT want to do that

Do you know what network?

You can either:

1 - get the right RUU

2 - make a goldcard (this will be tricky) and use the wrong RUU

3 - bypass this by going to HTCdev.com > kernel source > HTC android 2.3 update and downloading the 2.3 RUU which works on any desire (pretty much)

Edit.. that RUU you're using is network branded. Your phone may not be. Download 2.29.405.5 and try that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
The phone used to be branded to tmobile but the lad I got it from had used a gold card to debrand it.

Why are you asking when gingerbread for o2x? It's clear, it will be released the 12/21/2012
[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
You know something Guys...We Have the Leaked Roms..why bother with Blaming LG for the Upgrade when we can actually see that they are really working on it..Slow No doubt but atleast they are working.Its not like anything will change with the official Launch.
[LG Optimus 2x] GuestD2151:
Why is it then, that the community can bring out a ROM and they can't? Do they have 1 monkey coding all of it? Their support is just below par and I am never buying a phone from them again.
[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
I agree with that:Even i am not buying another LG...but i am just pointing out that GB is still available....leaked i agree..but available for download none the less...and its pointless to keep creating new topics with the Same Rants!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Thomasmj86:
Use a custom rom..
[LG Optimus 2x] leonclement:
Yea i agree, there are some good custom roms here, Modaco, topogigi, CM7 etc :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Don't forget that a majority if people doesn't want to bother with root, CWM etc...

And many have also concerns with warranty and don't want to bother with Nvflash and so on...
[LG Optimus 2x] GuestD2151:
exactly..

Now everyone here has probable a history with modding stuff and computers, but my mum who has this phone doesn't. How would she be able to use this phone normally when it keeps rebooting and stuff(which it did on stock).
[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
That is true...but not everyone is facing random reboots.
[LG Optimus 2x] GuestD2151:
Which is a weird thing considering the hardware should be the same :)
[LG Optimus 2x] cheeese:
Food for thought

Why should we root our phone, void our warranty when it is clearly LG responsibility to resolve them?

Worst support I ever encounter! I will never get another LG fone
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
I hate it when people are ranting stuff. SE's X10 is stuck with the 2.1 within years. Motorola's Atrix just got it's GB. Not too late for the LG. Samsung's also bombed by rants on discontinuing updates on it's Galaxy Spica. Nokia's symbian line is nearly dead.

But luckily we have lots of talented devs out there all working for free. And all I hear are freaking rants/hate or whatever they forgot to fix.

Go back to the stone age. The stones are final, no bugs attached.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juanmaper:
This is the way to have the Helvetica font (Iphone) in our i9003.

Download Helvetica Font, extract the rar, and copy files to external SD. Then with Root Explorer copy them to /system/fonts and replace files (do a backup of the replaced files previously to restore if you dont like the changes). Reboot!

This files can be used in any android phone (just have to change the name of the predetermined font to replace it).

I know that is an app somewhere in the forum and a payd app, but it is too small, dont have the "¿" and other symbols, and have problems with the some apps like TW Calendar. THIS IS NOT THE SAME FONT OF THE APPS !

Helvetica Font Multiupload link

You can download Font Changer and put files inside app folder to change fonts too.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juanmaper:
Its call Fontomizer, and it doesnt have Helvetica font (Just Hindi).

I wouldnt create this thread without any previous investigation. The fonts in market are not free, and even then, they are no like this one. They are too small to read, and and doesnt have all symbols.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg101:
I got a serious issue here. When I turn on my phone, it freezes on the black background/white text "Samsung" screen, and won't load the OS and will stay like that until I pull out the battery. I researched on this site how to fix this issue found out about the 3 button combo (Vol +, Vol -, Power), tried it on my phone, and it didn't work.

I'm panicking now since it seems like I seriously bricked my phone. Did I?? Are there any other solutions??

If it helps, here are details how I ran into this issue:

I tried to install Cyanogen mod using ROM Manager, and it rebooted my phone into what I think is the recovery mode. However, I kept getting this "E: signature verification failed" error which I learned later is what Google implemented with Froyo to prevent people from installing custom roms. I did some research, and I found this xda thread on how to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12321787#post12321787

According to "kisfit2000," I needed to download this file called 3e_recovery_installer.zip and run the install.bat file. I did it and ran into the error:

At that point, I gave up and restarted my phone. And that's when the problem began...

Definitely worth putting either a WM7.5 or Droid ROM on and waiting until early next year when quite a few new devices will be out running Android 4.0. I'm amazed you have been running one for 3 years! It was only released in UK pretty much 2 years ago to the day. ;-)

The same position

Hi guys,

I'm running my Rolls-Royce from almost 2 years and I'm wondering which next device will be as good as this one and with the same possibilities...

All we know the HTC Sensation or Samsung SII are not revolutionary as our HTC HD2 was 2 years ago.

How much time we have to wait to see 1.5-2 MHz processors ?

Thanks for new ideas.

Kindest Regards

[HD2 General] fulltank:
I am running on it for past one year (Nand GB) and satisfied with its versatility.How ever I dropped it in river once and since then some problem or the other keep on appearing.I am thinking for a replacement - Galaxy note.Although Galaxy Nexus is a close competition , I would choose note for its screen if it can be upgraded later to ICS.
[HD2 General] Mooncalled:
I'd wait.

I would wait. The HTC Titan looks promising and it's running a 1.5, but it seems massive when you read the specs, but then again, so did the HD2 when it first came out.

I'm not sure what I will do when my phone eventually dies. I've been running various versions of HyperDroid since I made the switch to NAND 6 months ago. I'm very happy that I did. I was never pleased with the various custom windows ROMS out there.

Stick with your HD2 if it's still in good shape. Flash HyperDroid v5.3. It's smooth and stable and runs quite fast. I haven't tried any other NAND ROM simply because I have been so pleased with HyperDroid and the wealth of information and support behind it.

YMMV of course. Each HD2 runs unique. My wife's HD2 runs completely different on the same ROMs.

I was getting tired of WM6.5 on my HD2 aswell. But flashing it with Android made me cheer up. Android with up to date apps is way better than the crappy build phone service provider has in stock.

Hi

I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to enter IP Address in my HD7 (Mango) manually to start browsing.

e.g. the proxy server IP is: 192.168.0.1

Now I need to give an IP to the phone myself, say: 192.168.0.69

Already several times change the ROM, still same my sensation feels laggy when running whatsup, seesmic, etc.

now im used S3N5EAY 1.7.0 XE, and im used microsd 16gb class 2

my 1,56 ghz sensation feel smooth in home screen, but feels laggy when im open the apps (whatsup, seemic, browser, etc)

comparing to my android friends (SGS1, SGS2, Nexus S) they are really fast in app.

Is there any solution to make it smooth ? is there any related with my class 2 micro sd ?

Do you mean your apps work slow? Your class2 micro sd would affect the speed if you moved the app to SD. Everything works smooth on mine :)

SD class 2 has a lower transfer rate compare to SD class 4, 6, 10... If your apps are moved in your SD, it would feel slow since its only class 2... try to use a SD with class 4 and above..

[Windows Mobile Themes] Nullstring:
Hello to all! I just want to contribute my work on WM Standard SMS Messaging client. The TMAIL.exe

There are two dedicated thread about skinning the standard messaging client:

1. [SKIN SMS][06 Feb 10 UPDATE!]Beautify your standard WM SMS Thread! [All Res][WM6.1+]

2. [1.10 update][Andynear style]DIY your own SMS chat UI

I participated in both threads but this one is different because you can try or preview your theme via your desktop browser: Chrome and Firefox (IE does not render the direct adjacent combinators correctly. CSS)

So what ever you see in Chrome and FF, is the same thing in WM device, but this is tested only on WM6.5.5 mobile and WM6.5 (emulator)

before testing your theme on your device, make sure to:

1. Install SdkCert.cab

2. Enable Threaded Messages

3. Disable HTC Messaging (if your ROM has it)

links credit to Astronout

4. Make sure to back these files before overwriting it: thread_sms.htm and iframe_style.css these are both located in \Windows directory :)

5. Terminate TMAIL.EXE first before deployment. You can use Dotfred's Task Manager or Quick Menu (my favorite)

Here are the previews

Copying the files for actual testing in your device

You can use my DropToWindows application. This application makes it easier for you to copy files in \Windows directory.

Important files to be copied

mainly iframe_style.css and the Images (if there is)

If you made a theme and made some modifications in thread_sms.htm and thread_style.css make sure to tell us about it too so we know what to copy

Download my workspace now

This file: Default.htm

has debug.css in it, which contains some overrides to have borders in the elements.

Notes when creating your own theme

If you're designing for QVGA, VGA, WVGA, make sure that your images are for 240x320!! TMAIL.EXE is responsible for resizing the images for different resolutions!

some important formulas: p = pixel

(VGA, WVGA)192dpi to (QVGA, SVGA)96dpi

(p * 96dpi) / 192dpi

(QVGA, SVGA)96dpi to (VGA, WVGA)192dpi

(p * 192dpi) / 96dpi

some important notes here

File paths in your CSS

make sure the image path before deploying to your device is file://\windows\ or else you won't see any images

e.g.

background-image: url(file://\windows\image_name.gif);

background: color url(file://\windows\image_name.gif) top left repeat;

Great work Nullstring.. i want to try the WP7 theme.. :)

but can you more explain about this?..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nullstring:
the difference between those two are:

If you're viewing the theme via your desktop browser, it's not necessary to include the path of the .png file since the .png and .css file are located in the same directory.

and the second one, if we're deploying. We need to include this path file://\Windows\ so it knows where the .png file is located. Yes, we are copying the .css file in \Windows directory which means the .css and the .png file is in the same directory, but am not sure what's going on in TMAIL.exe why it cannot see that file. So that is like a work arond.

In my WP7 theme, there are 6 css selectors that has background-image style. So if you want to view that in your WM device, include that path "file://\Windows\" before the .png file first so you can see the images.

Notice the default WM standard messaging layout/theme (the plain one)? notice you can select the message and it has a light background color (mine was light blue, am not sure how I call it). For example, I want to delete a specific message in a conversation thread, I know what will be deleted because it was selected.

notice the little blue box on the right side? that's not right, because I selected the 2nd message and look where the selection background is ..

So make sure when making a theme, the selection background is aligned properly in the selected message, so the user still know what message has to be deleted in case he want's to delete, or forward, or whatever his options.

sorry if you guys where confused about it :D
