[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalicemo:
I'm almost completely new to the whole ROM, Radio, HSPL speak, so I have no Idea what I'm getting myself into. All I know is, WinMo6.5 sucks. A lot.

My question is, could anyone give me a short guide or links to which ROM and Radio I should install to get better performance out of my phone? I need a very stable and clean rom that is capable of using 3G, Wi-Fi, SMS (basic stuff). I also need functionality of my photo/video camera and (obviously) the ability to send and recieve calls with T-Mobile US. I'm very sick of having technical errors, so if those can be avoided I would appreciate it.

Additionally, I need a refresher on how exactly to install HSPL. I know what it is and what it does, I just don't remember how to install it.

What I know about my phone:

T-Mobile US

Windows Mobile 6.5

ROM version 3.14.531.1 (OEM)

I know I'm asking a lot, but I would greatly appreciate anything that you could tell me about this. Thanks a bunch!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon1811:
how to

first, if you want to give Windows Mobile a second chance, you should try Laurentius26's ROM from here. It's strictly better than HTC's stock ROM, but of course it's still the old Windows Mobile which you obviously don't like. Then it depends what you do like: Android or Windows Phone 7. There's a whole sub-forum for each of them for the HD2. For installing a custom Windows Mobile ROM, you only need to download HSPL4 from here, choose 2.08 HSPL, and if the "We hacked it" screen appears, you should go to the 3-colored screen (shut down the HD2, push and hold vol down, switch it on again). Your original ROM won't be touched. Now you could flash any WM6.5 Custom ROM. But for flashing WP7 or Android, you need MAGLDR. Pretty much the same installation routine like for HSPL, but when you apply it, WM6.5 is gone. Go to "USB Flasher" in MAGLDR (Vol down+green phone button to apply), connect your HD2 to the PC and run the ROM flashing routine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
For full function & solid reliability I like the WM6.5.x 23699 builds of NRG.

great functionality, connectivity (wifi, BT, Tethering all perfect & simple) , battery life & charging good & runs almost flawlessly for me.

Going Android or WP7 has its own issues but a good WM ROM can give best reliability & usability in general ...

I am unable to play movies after I flashed to CM7.1

Do I need specific codecs to play media files?

Please Help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Herman76:
Try a different player. Stock player don't have all codecs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laconic5:
I recommend MoboPlayer (not Mobo Video Player). If a video doesn't work you can use Soft-Decoding.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saumilm:
Cool! It worked. Soft coding worked! Btw, what it is?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mundano:
You can also use dice player (paid app on market), that uses hardware decoding.

With hardware decoding you can view high definition videos (HD 720p) without any jumps or dropped frames. The battery will also last much more.

Story in bullet point format:

-got a new phone through insurance

-rooted using revolution.io method

-put on amon-ra recovery

-put on synergy rom

-screen shattered after dropping and I want to get it replaced/fixed through sprint service center

Do I need to unroot it?

Can I just flash a stock rom on there? (Can anyone point me to one that would work?)

And if I do need to unroot it, can I root it back? My friend was telling me that a certain method of unrooting disabled your phone from ever being rootable again? shrug.

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
you can always replace the screen yourself, there's several guides online and videos on you tube and its cheaper than paying 100$ deductible for another refurbished evo from asurion Sprint isn't repairing screens anymore unless u get really lucky and most cell repair centers will charge you 50 - 100$ to replace the screen, when you can order a kit on line for 10 - 20$ and replace it yourself in less than an hour.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpiamchris:
I tried with my old phone and the screen replaced fine. However, the sensor stopped working (it wouldn't register touch).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you try again just be extra careful with the cables and make sure the kit you get has a digitizer(the thing that makes touch work) I've seen some of the cheaper repair kits on eBay not include the digitizer. just take your time and follow the directions carefully read em, read em again read em one more time watch a video or 2 and then keep the directions infringe of you while doing the repair and double.check your work at every step.

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out a product configuration for Huawei C8650 in AOSP, the main framework is ready now, but however after flashing the system.img to my device the UI doesn't show up and keeps showing the init logo.

I tried to load system.img from an emulator, by setting the -show-kernel flag, I saw the following output:

And the emulator hangs here, the same behaviour as my phone.

Those stuffs are not included in system.img. But under a build output directory, /out/target/product/c8650/symbols/system/bin, I am able to see sh there.

So is there any way that I can put those stuffs back to /system/bin?

Well, I see lot's of questions about rooting. Here's a small guide on how to do that.

1. Download the attachment to this post. (upd_1.zip)

2. Put the file on the root of your SD-card. (Not in a folder/directory, but on the top layer.)

3. Power down your phone.

4. Enter recovery mode by holding Home+Power-buttons at the same time.

5. Use the volume key's to scroll through the menu. Select 'Apply update from sd-card'(Could be something else, but looks like this.) Use the home button to aplly function.

6. Use 'Select zip from sd card' to find upd_1.zip on your SD-card.

7. When it asks you if you wanna apply the update, select yes. Use the home button to confirm.

8. Wait for it to finish, then reboot. Your phone is now rooted.

P.S. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to make screenshots/pictures. But, it ain't that hard.

EDIT: If this doesn't work, try Doomlords way. All credits to him off course.DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit

Tried it, and it didn't work... Don't know why it didn't. Got similar problems as using super one click. It almost looks like the exploit that it uses was closed by samsung. The upd_1.zip is one of the procedures that seems to be working all the time...

Some doubts related to rooting !

1. I rooted my current firmware, and now planning to change the firmware (Stock ROMs only), so I should have to repeat the Process again, isn't it? (ie, applying Upd_1.zip file)

2. Does the Custom ROMs comes pre-rooted (CyanogenMod, Vanilla ROM, other ROMs etc) or should have to do the rooting process manually ?

3. Is rooting helpful to move apps like Official Facebook, Twitter, FriendCaster, Yahoo Messenger etc. to SD card? PS:- I'm not using widgets anyway.

Thank you!

Guys, I have galaxy mini with 2.3.6 software but nothing on this fu*king planet dont work for root my device. The normal way to recovery mode is to press home+power but no way to do that on my phone. Except those two buttons I have to press and hold volume up button and got to look on display really carefully to see something is written on it. Its shaded to the max and if you are wearing a glasses you cant see anything. After I notice that sign then I have to release power button and stock recovery reveals. The same procedure is for download mode only I have to press volume down. After I finally got in recovery mode I started an update from sdcard, found .zip file saved on it but device cannot be rooted. I get lots of lines on display which are saying the process is failed.

Well, if you flash another ROM, your PC sends packages with software to your device. One of those packages is a stock recovery. So you'll need to re-flash the clockwork mod recovery. Last time I checked, I were able to root my SGM with 2.3.6.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Applying the ota will make you loose root, but as long as your s-off you can root again easily.

Not sure exactly whats updated. If your rooted the update will not go thru anyways. It checks to make sure you have the stock recovery, and that all of your original stock apps and system files are there and unchanged. To install you would have to go complete stock other than still being s-off.

What line did you edit in the build.prop? What number did you replace and what did you use to replace it? I've been trying to narrow this down also since it's worked in the past. So far I see one user that claims the build is 210690.

Open build.prop with the text editor and look for:

I just went ahead and updated since mine is S-OFF.

The steps I used to update and re-root:

Make sure you have S-OFF.

Boot into Clockworkmod and Backup your phone just in case.

Download the following:

Stock Recovery: http://www.multiupload.com/86N0CZ8NO0

Clockworkmod Recovery: http://www.multiupload.com/UQ3Q5ZI0HO

SuperUser: http://androidsu.com/superuser/ (use binary only if you already had SuperUser app installed)

Copy OTA update in /cache to SD card and name it update.zip.

Copy recovery zip files and SuperUser zip (su-bin-3.0.3-efgh-signed.zip) to SD card.

Rename stock_recovery_PB31IMG.zip to just PB31IMG.zip.

Hold VOL-, press POWER to boot into bootloader.

Press VOL- to update recovery to stock. At this point, it may automatically install the update. If not (red exclamation), press VOL+ and POWER to get to the stock recovery menu and select "Apply update.zip from SD" to update manually.

When update completes and you're booted into Android, go to Settings, Applications, and turn off Quick Boot.

Rename or delete existing stock recovery .zip on SD card.

Rename Clockworkmod recovery, cwm_PB31IMG.zip, to PB31IMG.zip.

Shutdown or reboot phone and get into bootloader again, and this time flash Clockworkmod recovery.

Get into Clockworkmod and use it to flash su-bin-3.0.3-efgh-signed.zip.

Once it reboots, you will be updated and rooted.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I had to search Google for quite some time before finding the stock recovery and when i searched just now, all I found were broken links.

I won't be home for awhile, but let me know if you can't find the stock recovery and I'll upload it somewhere.

Oh yeah, you have to go into Settings, Applications, and turn off Fast Boot or Quick Boot in order to be able to get into bootloader when rebooting.

I wish I had read this thread before i messed up my phone. I was running fine rooted with unrevoked and I thought I'd be smart and get the OTA to install and worry about re-rooting later. It would never reboot so I did a factory reset. That only stuck mine in a Sense crash loop. I'm on PrimeXL's r40 ROM now for 24hours and I'm looking into what else might be available. It runs ok but I can't get Exchange mail for work because something about "device encryption enabled" policy, pic gallery won't show emmc folders, and keyboard auto-correct goes nuts in portrait mode on internet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Are you wanting to go back to stock?

If so, are you S-OFF? If yes, it's pretty easy, you can just install the full Gingerbread RUU (the .exe file that installs from PC) to go back completely to stock and it'll boot for sure.

What I would do is do a backup with clockworkmod to SD.

Then install the RUU.

Flash clockworkmod back into it (this is why you need to be S-OFF).

Use clockworkmod to restore only your /data partition from SD.

Re-root by installing su.zip.

You should now be rooted, stock, and all your apps and settings should still be intact.

I don't know for sure the backup and restore will work from one ROM to the next, but it did work when I bricked my wife's Incredible and had to restore from RUU (though it was on stock ROM before and after).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matth45:
GnatGoSplat, were you running 3.26.605.1 before the update? And did you apply the 4.08.605.2 update?

I haven't been able to find a stock recovery from the 3.26 ROM anywhere (broken links, as you said). If you could post your recovery.rom containing PB31IMG.zip for 3.26.605.1 somewhere that would be amazing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
No, I was on 4.06.605.3. You'll need to update to 4.06.605.3 before you can update to 4.08.605.2.

Here's the stock recovery:

http://www.multiupload.com/86N0CZ8NO0

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmm108:
Many thanks for posting the recovery file. I'm trying to understand your procedure from steps 6-9, before I actually try it. Please bear with me. So in an earlier step I've already copied the restore file you posted to the SD card as PB31IMG.zip. In step 6 I'm copying Clockworkmod to the SD card under the same name. What has happened during the update to change the PB31IMG.zip file, or am I overwriting it, and with what? I've only used clockworkmod for backups and restores. Secondly, what is the su-bin*.zip file and where did that come from? Thanks for your patience.
