[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pskarm:
Hi there,

I have problem with the keys of my hd2 phone (touchscreen problem). After 2 months of difficulty using it, pressing many times 'off' and 'back' buttons to unlock it, I deside to take it to an official HTC service.

After reading some posts, I conclude that sooner or later the phone will drop dead and I will have to pay 250,00 to fix it. As I have less than 15 days to the end of waranty, I must go back to Windows Mobile to leave it to them.

If someone has the time to explain me the right procedure to do the backup-restore, it would be very helpfull for me and many other people who also have this problem.

I use my phone for professional reasons so I have to do the procedure without any mistake.

ANDROID 2.3.5, CM7 NIGHTLY v3.6.3 TYPHOON,

RADIO 15.42.50.11U 2.15.50.14

KERNEL 2.6.32.15

Thank you very much in advance.

UPDATE

Is the following procedure correct?

1) Backup rom with cwm recovery (or I have to do a full backup with another program?)

2) back to factory default (Originally Posted by LiFE1688)

-If you are using a 512MB ROM HD2, just download the official firmware from HTC's website. The recommendation is to use a 1.xx or 2.xx ROM, do not use a 3.xx ROM.

-Download 7-zip, make sure it is 9.20 version and up.

-Using 7-zip, open the official ROM update exe file. Do not execute it.

-Inside you will see RUU_signed.nbh, extract just that file. Nothing else.

-rename RUU_signed.nbh, to leoimg.nbh

-Copy leoimg.nbh into your SD card which is FAT16 or FAT32 formatted.

-Unplug the battery from the HD2, count to 10, replace the battery.

-Hold the VOLUME DOWN button, DO NOT LET GO.

-Press the POWER BUTTON, then let go.

-Follow the instructions on the screen when the device goes to RECOVERY mode.

-Please note, this method will remove your HSPL and replace it with official SPL. It will also over-write your RADIO and ROM.

-Everything will be as it is stated, a full factory recover.

3) After service. New install of the same ROM that I use, with all the steps as I did the first time.

4) Restore with CWM RECOVERY (or another programm for full restore?)

5) I must use the same SD (with backup and all my files) or I must do a format and keep the backup files?

Thanks again

I was getting ready to install a new rom and using CWR performed a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and a format system. I accidentally went into partition SD card and instead of hitting the back button hit the go. Now my phone only goes to first white screen "HTC Incredible" and stays stuck on that screen. I am able to boot into bootloader and recovery but cant recover any backups "no files found". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Partitioning the SD card formats it, do you keep backups of your SD card on your computer hopefully?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jav2043:
No backup of sd card :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Can you hook up your SD card to a computer to verify that it's erased? You may need to reformat it to FAT32.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jav2043:
Don't have a micro sd card reader but will get one to see whats going on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Im interested to know how partitioning the sdcard would make the phone get stuck at the htc splash? I have partitioned my sd several times before, it does format the sd but has never made it so i cant boot the phone.

EDIT: Alao you cant remove a ext partition by just formating in windows, as windows only sees the fat32 partition. To remove it go back to recovery and the partition sd. When you select it it should ask you 2 things, ext size and swap size.

Use the trackball to set both ext and swap to 0, leaving the whole sd to be formated fat32. After you do that see if you can boot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
I have done this too but good thing I had another SD card with a Rom on it or other wise I would have been screwed
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jav2043:
Not sure why its getting stuck on splash screen. It was my first time partitioning my sd card. I tried installing a zip from sd card and none found. I also tried to nandroid restore and no file found. I will try to remove the partition and see if that works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jav2043:
I set the partition to 0 and still no boot :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Sounds like your only option is to redo a wipe data/factory reset, format boot, and format system again, to be safe, then copy a new ROM zip to your SD card and flash that.

Your nandroids, and everything on your SD card, are gone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
there is a clockwork folder on your sd card that is used if you updated clockworkmod recovery from rom manager. i mad the mistake of deleting it once. i had a backup on my pc before i did it. if you can get the phone to boot then just click the first option in rom manager and it will re build the file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon droid:
You don't need an SD card reader if you can get to CWM. Just go to mounts and mount Your SD card with your USB cable attached to your PC.

GingerDX V19..

in cpu setting > available governors.....what this is ??

smartass.

conservative.

ondemand.

userspace.

powersave.

performance.

This are the features? let your battery faster? I could spend the description of all? and which option makes the ROM faster?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velnens123:
smartass

Based on interactive, but better.

conservative

Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.

ondemand

Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see "up threshold" in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.

userspace

A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.

powersave

Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "min" set value at all times.

performance

Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the "max" set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting "max" and "min" to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for the CPU load. This governor is recommended for stable benchmarking.

Don't set governor to performance just because it's "performance". It will not increase your phone's speed in any way. Better use ondemand. For performance, I suggest ondemand. For battery smartass.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Smartass is based on ondemand governor but better and not on interactive :D

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
Few solutions

- u must not exceed the overclock limit (710 Mhz). So, change it or dint use oc

-everytime it reboots,just enter xrecovery and clear cache and dalvik cache

I'm using LinuxDX so I didn't use oc, I had try to wipe but I still got reboot when enable smartass, btw are DSPmanager causing this?

yeah I'm using LDX, it is compatible?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josip-k:
Ldx doesnt support overclock,use alfsamsungs kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewdaniel:
LDX has known problems with smartass. the only workaround is to either flash stock kernel and revert or u need to do a fullwipe

I have been using my micro sim in my infuse and got a text from att saying I should change to a 4g data plan. Does it really matter because I don't want to change.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
I asked to change and noticed a 0 change in speed.

Cranky...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
O dear they are going to change the NAME of the data feature you are on, that's right the name, not the feature, price, or your contract, JUST THE NAME!!! I would call and cancel if I were you....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] terr_bear:
When I first got my infuse about 3 months ago they sent me the same message and have continued to send them once or twice a month. I just ignore them and continue to pull down 6-10mbps here in Chicago :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
Micro sim? how?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
They make adapters.

EDIT: People moving from iPhone 4s(plural, not 4S.) usually keep them.and either are given or buy an adapter.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Biggzz:
Thanks guys...I talked to a local Rep who said if I didn't change then some of my features wouldn't work. I haven't experienced that using my iphone sim card but if they change my plan to 4g would that affect my iphone the other way? I mean features not working.

I know there is no price change im just concerned about everything working right
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
I have to say I was having real trouble getting good speeds till I switched. I don't know if I was imagining it or if it was just coincidence, but i switched from an iphone, could only pull 1mb down and 250kb up. Got that text, switched it(its only 5 dollars more I believe) and started pulling down 5-6 mb.

Hi everyone,

I'm just starting with my a500 been trying out different roms for the last couple days. I'm currently using taboonay 2.2 BUT I found a website that let me make some addons like games buttons apps and the boot-splash screen and created a zip which I flashed with CWM. Now for my question' I can't remember the website I used, my browser history is disabled so its not in there. I had to join the site to use the kitchen. Now I don't remember the site. Has anyone else used this site and can you give a link? Thanks

[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
I flashed MIUI 1.11.11 last night and tried to play a video, and no audio. Not the usual tinny audio issue. Just silence. So I have no audio when playing music, video or on phone calls. I got it directly off MIUIAndroid.com's ROM page and obviously grabbed the DHD build. I have flashed an MIUI ROM before but it was from MIUI.us not MIUIAndroid and it was 1.8.x or something or other. So am I missing something? Is this a bug I'm having, or just a problem with the build.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Same here. Flashed back to 1.11.4 and audio is still fine.

You can still get 1.11.4 in ROM Manager or <blahblah>roms.miui.us/romsnippet.php?device=ace</blahblah>

Hope there's a fix soon!
[HTC Inspire 4G] beef1218:
I am having the same issue. Should have backup before I flashed to 1.11.11. Now I hope the fix comes soon so that I don't have to flash back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
If you flashed the MIUI and it is using the talon ace kernel version 1.1.2 switch to the 1.1.1 version or try lordmods kernel. See if that helps. I don't have the newest miui. But I've heard of this problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] miguel11691:
I had the same issue until I found out that when it installs automatically it never cleared my cache... so I cleared it and reinstated the 1. 11. 11 and it works great now... hopefully this helps u out now
[HTC Inspire 4G] xpurtwitness:
I see. I manually cleared cache, dalvik and battery stats the first time. I wonder where we did something differently. conflicting existing apps maybe? perhaps I'll try again later.
[HTC Inspire 4G] beef1218:
When I install the upgrade zip, I did manually clear cache, but I still got this problem.

Now I'm trying to flash back to order version, but I can't find the rom for inspire4g or desireHD on MIUI website now (did they remove it temporarily?)
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
I'm having the same problem, I went back and wiped the dalvik and the cache but it still doesn't work. I'm going back to another rom for the time being until this is fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] miguel11691:
I'm sorry I also install the lordmod miui 8.1 kernel... try that it maybe that which fixed my issue

Same here. I flashed 1.11.11 and it broke the audio on my Inspire 4G.

My wife recently moved on from her htc cdma hero on Sprint to a GS2. I've rooted, cm7'd, and linked it to my gmail account. It's now what I use for media, no longer has voice/data with sprint, and I use wifi for data.

In trying to pull down pdanet, I found that the market tells me the app is not available on my carrier. Talked to a market help person, who informed me that when the device registered with the market, it did so as a sprint device.

Before I try wiping the whole thing again and reinstalling CM7, I wanted to ask if anyone

<objective> knows how to remove a carrier fingerprint from a rooted/rommed device that no longer uses carrier voice/data, so that when it registers in the market, it is not as a sprint device

I have no qualms about going into the device files and editing id's, as I did it with my viewsonic gtab to make it think it's a htc vision (though I've since forgotten the steps :) ). So if someone points me to it, I'll try it out. Thanks

You can modify ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop of rom in /system/ and reboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeneas_shrike:
build.prop contents

I didn't find that exact line. Fingerprint is only mentioned twice, both in the following block:

"

Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint

ro.build.description=passion-user 2.3.3 GRI40 102588 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys

"

The lines I did find in the build.prop that mention the string "Sprint" are as follows:

ro.product.brand=sprint

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sprint-us

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint

I'm guessing the second line is the one to adjust. Thoughts? Thanks.

Headphones that are only stereo sound like that and headphones with a mic sound ok but lack bass and the volume is very very low.

1st I noticed you are in Canada, make sure the roms here compatible with the canadian Vibrant before you flash them.

2ndly if you want working GPS, then this automatically rules out GB unless you like rebooting your phone everytime you want to use the GPS. Also, 911 doesn't work on many of the GB roms, so you might be putting your life in danger also.

Do you guys have 911 in Canada?

My fall back rom is stock deodexed/rooted KB5 android 2.2, with the stock voodoo kb5 kernel. Then to eliminate any lag from touchwiz I run launcher pro instead. This combination is lag free, has a working GPS as good as it will get with our ****ty GPS, and 911 works. So I suggest for you. Install deodexed/rooted stock kb5, then the stock kb5 kernel with voodoo, then install launcherpro to eliminate touchwiz lag. enjoy

Depending on what you want and use the phone for, the differences between 2.2 roms and 2.3 roms are these two major things

2.2 roms will get you better battery life and more reliable GPS over 2.3 roms. So, depending how techie are are will probably be the thing that sways you. All the roms have specific instructions on how to flash, they are not hard if you understand written English.
