Just press and hold the End call button after turning it on.

And yeh, always do a wipe (Wipe Data and Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache only) if you are going to flash a new rom. But do not delete your SD files like music etc ;)

and i can recommend - HyperDroids CM7 Rom - based on Android 2.3.7 because im using it by myself. Absolutly no problems :) hereto check the links in my sig.

Have fun!

BTW:

The problem for not booting up might could be a too small Recovery Layout. Most Roms require a 150MB system partition and 5MB cache partition. Just check this out in the Rom's Thread :) there should be always a info to-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] l33ch0r:
I guess I'm not at that point yet :)

I just flashed CWM and then flashed a ROM, which was to install via 5. USB Flasher and some sort of installer on PC - before I tried to install a ROM via CMW and that didn't work.

Well, now I have a ROM on it, SU is on it as well but I don't have root access.

Looks like a pretty old ROM. Froyo 2.2 with HTC Sense 2.1.

But my question now is: How to gain root and if I've done that, can I just flash a different rom (for example the one you suggested) via CWM?

I'm happy, that I have Android on it now but I'd like to have Gingerbread.

(The ROM on it is named DFT_Android and is to be installed via an executable DAF.exe while the device is on point 5 USB Flasher)

And if I can't flash ROMs on CWM, is there a newer ROM which is to be installed like my current one?

and by the way: Thank you very much, your solutions made it work for me ;)

I'll try to flash the ROM you named tomorrow with their instruction of a clean installation :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
First of all the DFT stock leo is an old and outdated ROM with no root access. Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 is still very fast, just outdated. And the lack of root is the killer for me.

Secondly, CWM is definitely the way forward, you won't be able to do much without it.

Thirdly, which partition size did you use (first time around)? Too small a partition could cause issues (all of which are of course correctable) so you may want want to check this. As said in the post above, many CM7 ROMs require a 150Mb partition.

If you want a full guide which enables you to flash Android via CWM, see this guide :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] l33ch0r:
I'm not sure, but I think I took 150mb. Well, if I flash another rom, I'll just make it 150mb, if it isn't ;)

If I flash a ROM via CWM will I have root on it? Stock ROM has Superuser, but obviously not really useful, maybe because it's outdated, iono...

Another thing is that I only have a 1 GB microSD for the HD2.

Would a bigger microSD be recommended?

I see that now on this old stock rom that a bigger microSD would make sense, since I'm very limited in the number of apps I can install.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Although not necessary, I would definitely recommend a bigger MicroSD. I have a 16GB one on which I can store tonnes of apps, as much music as I want (but I still need all of it for when I'm bored) and plenty of other stuff I may want.

As for the root question, you were unfortunate enough to pick the only ROM in the NAND development section to come without root :p Everything else has root permissions :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] redplate:
Those nand roms are mostly using app2sd or data2sd (think sense roms only) which require an ext3 or 4 partition on your sd (this can all be done with cwm). So 512mb ext partition should be fine for lots of apps. So imo 1gb is enough if you dont want to store lots of music, movies, other roms and 900 backuped apps ;d

Hello,

Is it somehow possible to use the folder feature that is launched with Android 4.0.1/Ice Cream Sandwich with LauncherPro?

I've installed LauncherPro and I'm very pleased with how it works. I've been using it with every phone I've owned that has been an Android device, and I feel it's very sad that I am not able to use the new folder feature system that came with Android ICS.

Is there a possibility that you can install an .APK and from that have the ability to still stack the programs on the homescreen?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
same problem with adw ex. Patience. I like stock a lot though. Might roll with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
The new folder feature is built into the stock launcher. Launcher Pro is a launcher replacement with its own feature set. The two programs are mutually exclusive.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] yongck7:
Thanks for the sharing. I am considering to change the LCD density but not comfortable to root yet (still reading and learning....).

1) Can you help post the screenshot on home screen, app folder screen. If possible, can you install the CNN News and post this app home screen etc. Due to original 160 setting, the font on CNN News is extremely small.

2) Can you help posting the above with 240 setting.

3) Any problem install app thru market (i heard market can only install with 160 or 240 LCD)? Anyway I am prepared to reinstall the old mkt version as it does not has this limitation.

Just a few hours ago, my ZTE blade with Cyanogen Mod 7 froze while running a wallpaper app. Initially, it brought up the error low phone memory. I still hadn't resolved this issue when it the phone became unresponsive. Now, I have to manually reboot the system by removing the battery as any other way does not work. A hard reset doesn't work either and pressing the power button does switch on the phone once it has loaded to the home screens. In fact, I can't unlock the screen.

While i think that the problem may have something to do with the low phone memory, there's no way i can access it as all functions after booting the phone are not available. Please help.

Try reflashing the Rom. I find it clears up most initial problems after a new flash.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
I have not changed ROMs before. IMHO the procedure is simple enough. I am not worried about that step at all. The question is, What am I left with afterward.

What data, apps, etc. do I loose? Do I need to recover them from a back up? If so, what parts do I need to recover?

Also, from what I have read, if the ROMs are closely related, all the data and apps are preserved.

Can some one explain/comment on this?

I know this is a very nubbie question. I'm trying to minimize time consuming mistakes.
[Epic 4G General] ralf_97:
U should always wipe data with changing roms or u might end up with lots of fcs. While all the roms are similar and contain the same basic apps, some roms are gonna have different and new apps than others. I recomend backing up the apps that u have on ur current rom with TB and once u install a different rom, all u have to do is download TB from the market and install the apps u once backed up
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
So all the apps I downloaded from market will then need to be reinstalled.

Do I loose the phone logs, all texts, contacts (but linked to gmail)?

I am unclear what "data" is stored where. What counts are "data" in the backups. Is application data backed up with "data", or included w/ the "apps" backup?

I am backed up with TB. (both data and apps).

I have also backed w/ CWM.

I assume/hope my identity (phone#, etc.) is tied to something like a MAC address that will not be wiped.
[Epic 4G General] Naddict:
your identity is not wiped, are you using a sprint phone?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You should backup 2 ways at least, a nandroid with CWM and maybe Titanium Backup. Then follow the instructions of the ROM you are installing. Most no longer require wipes. After you flash the ROM if something did not restore properly just shut down, boot into CWM. Go to backup and restore, go to advanced restore data from your last backup. All should be restored.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
I am on Sprint.

I am a bit confused on the CWM recovery, never having actually used it to restore anything. When i go to the restore utility in CWM, I see each of the backups listed. Not sure if I get the option of what to restore.

I may or may not want to restore the old ROM depending on the outcome of the new ROM flash.
[Epic 4G General] ralf_97:
But since u gonna issues TB all u have to do is jst download it from the market and the reinstall the apps u want back. U see, instead of searching for them on the market, u can jst install them from TB. And u won't losse contacts or emails if u sync them with gmail

My phone is Captivating, Fascinating, Epic and also LEGENDARY!!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
If you are changing ROMs on the same version of firmware, like Gingerbread to Gingerbread, you can backup right before flashing (and you should), then when you flash the new ROM it may or may not preserve your data which is apps, contacts, call logs...IF it fails to restore properly you can do a factory data reset in CWM which will clean any bad restore, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE DATA and pick the newest one. They are date coded. It will ask you to confirm before doing it. This will only restore 3rd party apps and data like call logs, wifi links, email accounts and stuff like that.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
The deed is done. The SMS messages do not restore. I tried to pick and choose apps to restore. Then restored all data.

The phone is functional, however. That was my main concern.

Thanks to all who read and responded.

now CleanGB 18
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
Duh.

Needed to reboot for all restored settings to appear.
[Epic 4G General] Naddict:
To refresh, from what version did you move into? WHat do you have now?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Ha, was just about to tell you that. Glad you are up and running.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
I am a tiny bit concerned that I have just restored a bunch of un-needed crap onto my phone, from the TB backup.

Anyone know what the colors and icons of the files in TB signify?

I was looking for help in the tiki, but I don't see a concise explanation.

http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php

I presume I would not accidently reinstall carrier IQ and other un-fixes unintentionally with TB by restoring apps and data.
[HD2 General] hairyhere:
Hi

I was in my grandparents house when i tought i need better wifi signal cause it was reconnecting me all the time.

I opened up my phone and put out wifi and gps antenna.

Then i connected gps antenne into wifi ports.

My friend have LG OPTIMUS 2X so i compared those phones before and after this tweak.

Before i hade like -90 dBm (on LG from -80 to -75dBm) and its was reconnecting me very often.

After i have from -80 to -70 dBm and now its working even little better than LG.

If someone would try something like that please share your results to see if it works, for me it works perfectly :D
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
careful with that, i did all sort of testing on the hd2's antennae system. Basically you bridged the wlan and gps antennas into one big one. The first logical conclusion is that it should work better, and as far as this goes, it does. However there's a reason gps and wlan/bt antennas are separated by the manufacturer. The gps part has a LC filter near the antenna and the filter is connected to a hi gain signal amplifier. When you feed to much signal into the gps part the small transistors in the gps signal "amplifier" will get fried over time - will loose sensitivity. GPS will still work but as time goes by, you'll find out that it is increasingly difficult to get a lock. On one motherboard i tested, this leaded to total failure of the gps receiver side (needed an external hi gain antenna to get a fix, otherwise totally dead).

The reason for this problem is the fact that when bridging the antennas you create a ground loop on witch wifi/bt signals (higher amptitude) will get into the gps side, damaging it.

The solution is to separate both antennas and if you need a higher gain on the wifi side, develop a small fractal antenna or add a small enameled copper wire, wrapped around in a small coil, both ends connected to the wifi antenna pins.

If you really need stronger wlan, use some electric tape and insulate the gps pins from their antenna, if you want to keep your design. You will loose gps functionality, though.

NEVER mix up, gps with radio (GSM/3G) antenna, this is the most dangerous, again for the gps side. If you look at the hd2 board you will see that these 2 are actually in opposite sides.

Some newer phones use unified antenna designs for wlan/bt/gps etc, by means of some fast detection/varactor diodes in a signal mixer located in the input stage of the amplifier/emitter circuitry but no phone uses unified antenna for these AND the GSM part.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i've always enjoyed reading your posts, extremely informative! thanks (and thanked)! :D
[HD2 General] hairyhere:
your saying i connected gps and wifi antenna into one piece. Propably its because i used bad words to describe what i was doing :)

truth is, i just changed between those antenna so i still have them.

GPS is now on wifi ( i dont have gps now ) and wifi antenne is in a safe place.

Is there any danger in the way i use it now? I dont see anything to proof that, except those wires look different.

Thanks for respond :)
[HD2 General] MarioWaza:
Hmm, doesn't sound like a good thing to try. I don't really have problems with my wifi, but mixing the antenna's... yeah the manufacturer did't split them for no reason.
[HD2 General] hairyhere:
its almost week after i changed wires and nothing happend since then, except i have a feeling my battery lives longer with better wifi signal.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
aah, you only changed the antenna wires (black - white). That's ok, no problem here.

I understood that you soldered the 2 antennas together. That's another story.
