I understand where you are coming from, I think that the majority of people who make their way to xda are fairly tech savvy. There will always be the people that don't know they don't know, and rush headlong in without thinking. Those are the people that I think would benefit from a simple list of do's and don'ts. The ummu mount deal might make a great addition to the list. It sounds like it may of helped you out if the list was posted back when you started flashing.

I think I can speak for a high percentage of people here that are plain just worn out with answering the same damn questions over and over and over. It is trying when you come back to a thread after 24 hours to see if their are any answers/progress to the Op's original post, and then have to wade through 6 pages of posts about how to get into recovery just to get to the one or two relevant comments.

Before anyone hates on me, I understand that people are going to do want they are going to do...lead a horse to water, can't make it drink and all that ...but to me the crazy amount of repeated questions in every thread begs some kind of further action be attempted. You can blame the noob nation to a point, but when the odd repeated question becomes an epidemic it's time to look at the system.

I really love this forum and we have a great bunch of Dev's and contributors, just getting tired of the repetition and the hostility it brings out in people - myself included, and looking for some kind of positive action we as a community can take to combat it.

That's my 2 cents...I'll step down and let someone else on the Soap box.

I just want to note, now that this thread is in general, that if this is your first time reading this thread: yes it is still accurate.

Rom Manager is not supported on this device. (SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W).

ClockWork Mod recovery (CWM) and TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP) both work on this device, and should no way be confused with Rom Manager.

If you have no clue how to get CWM or TWRP on this device, I highly recommend reading through the wiki and lumin30's guide.

Hi i just bought a used HTC Desire HD and when i start it it says "T Mobile"

When i insert SIM card in it (Swedish) it says ""Limited service", i put in PIN but only limited service and then i have no signal...

I have tryed 4 different SIM, 3 swedish 1 thailand. Same thing.

When i go to settings network i can search for network operaters, then all the network i can have in sweden comes but i dosent matter wich one i choose it says : Your sim card does not allow connection to this network, which is very strange because if i have TELENOR sim inside and choose TELENOT it says the same...

Please someone help me :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haerigrek:
My guess would be that your phone is branded (SimLock) You have to have a t-Mobile sim card for it to work to you ave to get rid of the lock. Plenty of info about unlocking DHD in the forums.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakinisbat:
You might need to unlock your phone look here
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micke99:
i had done all that now, got it downgraded and all, it says sim unlocked, and all.

but still same problem, but now i have the downgraded rom.

do i need to flash some radio or something now to get i to work?

or some other rom?

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakinisbat:
downgrading and unlocking are different things even if you have downgraded the simlock stays on unless you unlock it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micke99:
yes but i use the ultimate multi tool, and did all. sim-unlock also and when check after it says sim unlock.

why is it not so i can put in code from network. it was like that with other phones wich is network locked. but this i put pin code and then limited service only.

so how do i then unlock sim ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakinisbat:
could it be that the lock is on your sim not the phone, try another SIM

You have to flash with fastboot that RecoveryArc.img . Then power on the device and when the first logo is shown you have to press the volume down button (with DoomKernel and CM7 it is done this way, I suppose it is the same for RecoveryArc.img).

Hello :)

I rooted my Desire last week (finally!!!) and put on CM 7.1

Coming from stock HTC Rom everything is now a complete new world...

I have searched and searched to find a solution but argh!! It seems I'm the only one...?

When I browse on the internet on my Desire it seems that it always chooses the mobileversion of a page - instead of the "real big page"

In the stock Htc browser I could tick if I wanted to browse showing the mobileversion - but this doesn't seem to be possible with CM 7.1?

I have tried to install Dolphin Browser HD too but that didn't solve it either...

Please please help me!!! :cool:

When FT says "flash complete" then "disconnect ... turn debugging" it means that flashing IS complete.

Disconnect, boot phone to recovery, install zip rom, full wipe and reboot.

Hey guys this is Saad from Windows Phone Daily,

I thought I'd share this on here since it doesn't look like any of the bigger WP7 sites have picked up on this yet.

A Nokia 900 "Hydra" just leaked from Daily Mobile Forum and it has some really impressive specs: a 4" CBD AMOLED, 1.5 GHz dual-core(!) processor, 720p display, 12MP Carl Zeiss camera, 1080p video recording, and new "swipe gestures" in the OS (maybe something like Windows 8).

More details can be found in our article: http://www.windowsphonedaily.com/2011/10/rumor-nokia-900-hydra-packs-dual-core.html

aaaand here's the original source: http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?topic=52961.0

Enjoy!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lugi93:
too good to be true, but hey :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The fact that it claims to have "720p screen resolution" is proof enough that this is not real.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
Well there's fake, and then there's this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
First of all the resolution. 720p screen resolution would be a direct violation against all of Microsoft's chassis specifications. The resolution is limited to 800x480 for a reason, to make it easier for developers. If this were true Microsoft would be on the very slippery slope of fragmentation.

To clarify: The platform is currently designed for one resolution and that resolution only. More or less the only possible way to continue from this is screens with the resolution 1600x960, exactly doubled on both sides. This was the way that Apple upgraded the screen between iPhone 3G(S) and iPhone 4 and it was for a very good reason: To keep app compability. If Microsoft were to allow a new resolution almost all apps would need a patch for that new resolution. Would Microsoft kill a majority of their Marketplace? no.

None of the current chassis specifications define any support for a Dual Core processor, so that is not likely at this time, maybe next update.

"Dedicated graphic adapter" sounds a bit fishy. It sounds to a reference to a dedicated GPU chip as opposed to todays SoC chips where everything is integrated on one chip. I'm not an expert in the area but it certainly sounds strange that someone suddenly would design a chip very differently from everyone else.

4 Sterophonic loudspeakers. I think that this certainly sounds strange, not sure what they mean with that.

USB 3.0 and NFC doesn't feel very likely. On the other hand Nokia is able to do this with the special privileges Microsoft gave them. I'm not as certain on this one as the others.

Also, don't you all think that the picture doesn't look very professionally done?

Source post

This was up almost two months ago and a whole load of unresponsible news sites did write the news like this was a fact, absolutely disregarding how obviously fake it is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
Why wont apps be compatible with different resolutions? On Android they work well regardless of what resolution. Whats different in WP?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually, 1200x720 would be a 1.5X increase, so this would work too. The OS could take care of resizing/resampling of graphics resources, while text rendering would automatically be improved. Devs could also upgrade their apps by adding higher-res resources, but it wouldn't break compatibility with older phones. Apple needed to double things because 3GS and older phones had incredibly crappy low-res screens.

I'm sure this will happen anyway, but I doubt that's what MS and OEMs have in mind until the next big update, and I don't think it'll happen in Q1.

On the contrary, judging by the leaks, the next update will be all about decreasing price.
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
Interesting how the back and search buttons are missing too. Also, the technical specification seems to include a price.

Looks like the picture was drawn by a kid :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
If true this may be my next device
[Windows Phone 7 General] george232:
Almost no bezel at the corners? No way, that looks fake as hell. The only specs I'm really interested now are expendable memory and screen resolution. And a bit more RAM for extended multi-tasking, maybe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I can't believe people are actually conversing about this trash.

I also can't believe I typed this reply.

And screen resolution doesn't matter in WP7 as the OS uses a scalar. Things would be automatically upscaled. It's why the phone's UI performs well on the launch specs. The resources the phone displays is actually lower resolution that you'd assume they are. iOS doesn't use a scalar so resources have to be appropriately scaled for the display resolution. That's why developers needed to update for iOS5 and develop new iPad apps. Android is similar.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I don't know what you are talking about. I've looked into a Dumped ROM & extracted the PNG's from the DLL's & they are full size. They are NOT low res images scaled up. If they were, they'd look blurry like early WVGA Titanium Themes that were just edited WQVGA CPR's with no changes to the graphics. The Tiles & Icons are 173x173/62 x 62 pixels. That is full size. The 1st Part Tiles & Icons are a bit smaller only because they are just the Icons inside the Tiles, not the whole Tile like for 3rd Party apps. Developers have been making their Tiles cheaply. You'll notice the Tile image is called Background, meaning it's the background of the Tile Image & there should be a separate Tile Icon that goes "over" it.

To get back on topic, I highly doubt this is real as per resolution unless MS actually gave Nokia special permissions to edit the UIB/UIX files. They are pretty much like the CPR's of Titanium, just compiled so we can't edit them ourselves yet. We have no tools to decompile/recompile them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Wouldn't be as unbelievable if this was a Q3 device (though, ideally we'll have faster by then), but a Q1? Naaaah
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Nearly every spec isn't supported. Fake.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
Wow you're really out to get me Sir. Haxalot! :D

I am aware that this is from August, and I apologize for reporting on it as though it was new. However, this is not "obviously fake". Like I said in the article and my reply to you in the comments section, it is very likely that these specs will be introduced in the future. There's no reason why you can rule that out, unless you're Microsoft's lead Windows Phone manager.

It is a rumor and yes there are some things that do stretch the limits of reality--mostly the Q1 release which is completely ridiculous. BUT Nokia hasn't denied it and Microsoft hasn't denied it, so until then I will report on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fuzemaster:
the problem is you're "reporting" something that isn't real by any stretch of the imagination. fake nonsense rumors like this fly so far below the radar of companies like MSFT and Nokia that they don't even know it exists, much less have the desire to deny it.
