[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
It's not a rude at all. I've done tons of research on these forums.

The problem lies in the fact that those of us who are not programmers don't have a base level of knowledge that is assumed in these forums. Couple that with all the acronyms that are new to us, and it's a puzzle to figure this stuff out.

Every time I program a new device I say, AHHHH! That was sooooo easy...once I knew the steps. Until then, it's impossible.

Here's where I'm at. I followed that guide. THANK YOU so much-I hadn't seen that one before.

I tried to install a ROM after I installed clk, and got stuck in a loop. At least I'm gettting a different result.

I've started over, and I've got CLK on the phone now. Now, Which ROM should I install?

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
Updated update.

The rom I tried to install is HyperDroid-CM7-Licking-Lobster-v5.6.0-cLK-signed

When I started my phone, it just goes back and forth between a screen with an "H" on a twirling cube, and that splashing into the Android dude...and splashing back. Left it for 45 minutes.

Now, clk says it installs, but when I start, I'm back to the Android/H loop.

Like I said, I need someone to walk me through this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
Reinstalled. Same loop. Trying the Nexus Rom.

R u using the correct model(EU or tmobile)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
I use it on Tmobile, so I'm assuming Tmobile version. How would I know?

Someone else originally programmed the Nexus 2.3.4 NAND Rom on it, but I don't know how he did it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
t mobile USA cut their own deal with HTC, to make a hd2 with double internal rom and a little more ram. (And in teh process gave their customers a device with an insta-kill switch, which they no doubt regretted when thousands were returned bricked in teh first few months of release)

if your hd2 has red+green end+send keys, and says 't mobile' beneath the earpiece, its a 'tmous' (T MObile US) which is slightly different to teh rest of teh worlds hd2's.

If you have white keys,you have a regular hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
Yep, Tmobile version. What is up with it not loading these roms?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
cant help, sorry, never used clk, always seemed too much extra complication for very little benefit.

Things that come to mind tho, are

- not clearing the sd ext and sd card .android folders (perform a 'wipe data/factory reset in cwm to wipe these two places) and

- partition layout size
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
good thinkin. factory reset would take it back to WinMo? It's worth a shot.

You all get $1. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
You're wasting your time going back to win mobile. That's not the problem, and isn't going to solve whatever the problem is. Most likely your partition sizes are wrong that or your cache size.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769026

Is this the rom you're trying to flash??

If so, do a task29, then flash clk using a using the 150mb partition option and 5mb cache, install cwm, then flash rom, reboot and done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
no, factory reset within cwm formats the boot, system, data, sd-ext partitions, and also the .android folder on your sd card.

The important bits are the sd-ext, data and the .android folder, because when you flash a new rom it will only overwrite the boot and system partitions, leaving any junk on the others.

If you had a working rom and you did wipedata/factory reset, it would reboot as if you just flashed that rom, all apps and data gone, but still android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
Did a reset and flashed the new rom. It worked!

Still have crappy signal. I'm thinking the radio in this phone is shot. I dont' know if there's a way to upgrade?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
hd2 has never had teh best radio, most people tend to settle on 2.11.50 2.12.50 2.14.50 or 2.15.50(the latest)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Streetman:
is that under Baseband version?

I'm got 2.15.50 then, I think. It says 15.42.50.IU_2.15.50.14

I mean, this is REALLY bad. Won't get signal at all within multiple blocks. Some places it works fine, and then it just drops totally for a few miles...then back.

It won't register on network in many places. I'd say 30-40% of the places it's out totally. And then when it works its 100% signal. Same thing in FL, NC, IN, so it's not a local tower thing.

What would cause that? I thought it was the rom. :confused:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujeeb999:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujeeb999:
Which rom you are using to unlock bootloader

It only works with stock rom
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vientito:
that's false information you have given. It will also work with custom ROM 2.2 2.3 as well -at least as far as unlocking by using flashtool 0.5.3 is concerned.

They want you to stick with stock ROM 2.1 because there's less risk of screwing things up. There are various persons who have unlocked their bootloader using custom ROM such as gingerdx and gingerexperia.

There are never any official words that come out and say "don't use custom ROM" but if you look at the code where they patch things you only see that they need a stock kernel and rooted system to work with, nothing more than that!

[Kindle Fire General] huskerdu25:
Hey guys,

Everytime I download a .mobi file (not through amazon) it always tries to automatically open with my app snesoid and then says it isn't a rom. When I try to use dropbox to transfer files, dropbox tells me it doesn't have a suitable viewer to read it.

I have to manually transfer the file into the kindle folder using a micro-usb wire and then it'll show up in the docs and kindle folder making it readable by the kindle app.

Tried ireader, but it always force closes on me. So my question is, how can I set it up so that anything ending up in .mobi is opened by the Kindle reader app? I'm using Go Ex Launcher and also got File Explorer as an alternative when I'm not near my laptop to do manual transferring.

Any advice would be appreciated!
[Kindle Fire General] Xeddicus:
Try making snesoid NOT the default program for mobi files. Sounds like it is.
[Kindle Fire General] wolfpack612:
are you downloading it as a zip file? because snesoid would try to open that. but like xeddicus said try clearing snesoids default.

I installed the i9023 OTA which is no rooted.

Then I flashed the recovery to CWM and flash the superuser 3.0.7 efgh.

I know 3.0.7 efgh is no for ICS,but in adb, su command works well.

However any program needs root just fails.

Is there something missing causing the problem?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoodlum7:
I am not sure if this is particular to my cappy or not, but I have noticed if I reboot my phone while the USB charger is plugged in to the phone charging the min clock speed my phone gets down too is 800Mhz. If I unplug the USB charging cable and reboot 100Mhz becomes the minimum again.

I have noticed this behavior on Serendipity VII and Serenity KK4 RC 6.2.

Has anybody else seen this behavior or is their a fix other than rebooting with out the USB charging cable plugged in?

Yup normal imo.
[HTC Rezound] BABABANG:
Hey guys, so I waited forever for my nexus and now that I have it...its somewhat disappointing. Bad signal, things close randomly, and it also has cheap build quality.

Honestly, how do you guys like your rezounds? How's the battery on those things? How's the build quality?

My entire android experience to this point has been with HTC (Inc and Inc 2) and I wanted something new, but I may come back.

Appreciate all the replies. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I, personally, love this phone. The build quality is very solid and doesn't feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hand. I get great signal from it. Phone calls are clear and don't drop. I also rarely lose 4g unless I'm just in a horrible area. Plus, the GPS on this phone is absolutely amazing.

The battery life could be better stock, but you can't really expect much with such a big and bright screen. I was getting around 6 hours of heavy use out of it until I tried this little trick by nosympathy. Now I'm getting a strong 12-15 hours with fairly heavy use. I'm more than happy with everything about this phone. We don't have S-Off or perm root right now, but I could really care less. Just stock this thing whips the hell out of any phone I've ever touched. When we do get the update to ICS and Sense 4.0 (probably early next year according to HTC), this thing will be even better. I love this phone and will probably never touch anything but HTC in the future. I would suggest going to Verizon and playing around with one. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Good luck!

Edit: Also, with any phone I've had before (mostly Motorola or LG), I've been dying for root right away to make the phone better. This one doesn't need root to be amazing. It just is straight from the box.
[HTC Rezound] drpeachfuzz:
I've tried numerous phones and carriers. Most recently I had the Bionic and the RAZR. I would say this phone is the best I've had in the last year or so. After going through 3 RAZRs due to screen problems, random rebooting and reception issues, the first Rezound I got is just perfect. The screen is much clearer, 4G radio is consistently 5-10 Mbps higher than the RAZR/Bionic were. I will stick with this phone for sure.
[HTC Rezound] BABABANG:
Awesome replies so far, thanks guys. So there's no creaking around the back or sides of the phone when you press them? That was a problem on both generations of my Incredible
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
form factor alone, the rezound kills the nexus. that things feels so damn cheap its disgusting. as for battery, you'll get a standard work day. the highest i've gotten so far was 17 hours. not bad!

creaking, yeah. mines starting to develop it. However, I use a case so I never noticed it.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
The Rezound is the most solid feeling phone I have ever had. I switched from Sprint to get it.

Solid, great display, good battery, stupid fast, Sense 3.5!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Rezound is probably the best 4G phone you can get on Verizon now. The Hardware is high end, I'm sure once we get s-off or once ICS hits oh baby.

Edit: no creaks.
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
Agreed. Absolutely in love with this phone. Usually I get a phone and say I like it except for a few things. The only thing missing for me is s-off, and its so good I'm not even that upset
[HTC Rezound] Keanen:
I just came back from the Nexus. The battery life was horrible, the reception was about 30db less, no simultaneous 3G voice and data, and the screen wasn't that impressive.

I am happy to be back, I really like this device.

[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Creaking is very slight. Some rebounds have over heating issues, so be aware that you may have to exchange for one that doesn't.

However I love my rezound, does everything I want and one of the best things is simultaneous voice/data. Came from tmobile and so glad I get to keep that feature.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I have been considering the nexus (I haven't looked at it yet) but after reading the tremendous amount of issues and people trying to defend things that should not be acceptable, I'll probably stick with my rezound which is perfect accept I don't have root and an MIUI rom option yet... But other than that, pretty much have 0 issues with it hardware wise, and I do like sense 3.5, but MIUI is more my style I think.

It seems that there are too many issues on top of compromises by switching to the Nexus :-\ the only reason I kind of want it is for the constant updates and Google support, but that's not worth sacrificing everything else for IMO, even if we don't get root, ill probably still be happier with this one
[HTC Rezound] rileyd5:
tbh, mine does creak now which is annoying. extended battery door doesn't yet. Decided to buy a case and don't notice it anymore. Had the Razr before this and I can honestly say I am very happy to have switched to the Rezound. Camera on the Rezound is much better than nexus or razr.

edit: plus we have Scrosler over here now. Can't beat that! :) :)
[HTC Rezound] marclile:
+1 to that. I had the OG EVO before and switched to VZW just for this phone. Love it.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I have noticed the creaking. I don't notice it with a case. I actually need the case anyway because attaches to the belt. So far I'm happy with it. It's blazing fast compared to the Thunderbolt.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Thanks for the call out. Glad my guide helped you out.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I can make the sides crash I'd I squeeze it hard, but mine doesn't with normal use. I think that happens after you pop the back off a bunch, the clips, which are plastic, start to stretch.
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I see I'm not the only one thinking of trading in their Nexus for a Rezound. I'm coming from the Incredible.

Incredible has better reception, faster 3G speed, louder speakers (ear and rear). Also people said the DInc had poor battery life, mine last 2 days on a charge. I'm sure I can get the Rezound to last atleast day.

I'm still not fully liking the on-screen buttons. The menu button, depending on the app, is sometimes at the bottom, sometimes at the top, and some others have reported no where at all. They also reduce the resolution on most apps to 720x1184. Only a few apps (anything by google) can shrink or hide the buttons for full screen.

Phone connects to USB via MTP instead of Mass Storage Device, due to lack of sdcard.

Still images aren't bad at all, but doesn't seem to deal with motion all that well.

The reason I chose the GNex was for the amoled screen, but I might settle with slcd for an overall better phone.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Considering how most amoled screens over saturate and enrich colors to the point where they aren't accurate, and have banding issues, they are pretty, but too many issues come with it... SLCD is better lol as it does none of this, it only has a minimal wash for blacks that u can see visually, but its so minor, its not as much of an issue as seeing glare from the glass (like reflection glare that every smooth surface has...)

Edit: I went and checked one out in the store today and while ICS is cool and all, too many cons to the phone, screen problems, home buttons were weird when typing, signal wasn't as good as the two beside it (rezound and razr) even in the store, and it had more hiccups than the rezound on bloated sense. The front cam was noticeably worse, and the rear cam was fine but the rezound took better pictures... The back plate was also jacked up but I'm sure its because of the sensor things on them, though the rezound had the same thingy on it and its plate wasn't warped and bent.

Anyway, glad I got it out of my system now, I much prefer this phone, I just wish it got the same support as the Nexus. Though root will come ...
[HTC Rezound] Keanen:
I thought that I wanted OMLED but after seeing the blue (white) screen compared to my wife's Rezound along with my other points I decided to go back to the Rezound.

[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
I actually love the AMOLED screen on my Incredible, however I'm a little let down with the AMOLED on the GNex.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea at an angle u can see a green ish looking tent too :-\ lol why does everyone say amoled is good? Was it better on the incredible? I've yet to see a samsung phone with an unproblematic screen, I've never seen an amoled on another brand phone in person though, are they all like that?
[HTC Rezound] replica9000:
Weird thing is Samsung made the screen for both the Incredible and the Nexus. The Incredible has a slightly cooler tone than SLCD, but the blue tint only shows at an extreme angle. The Nexus shows a blue tint at a very small tilt, plus gets that rainbow effect (like water on an oil spot on the pavement) when tilted a lot.
[HTC Rezound] tbgreen89:
Well I got to check out the Nexus for a few minutes and to be honest It wasn't what I thought. First thing I noticed is it felt very cheap. The battery door was already held on by tape. On a 3 day old display phone that's ridiculous. Second thing I didn't like was no Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons. The built in ones were hard getting use to. Third thing, Power/Sleep button on top right side of phone. Didn't like that as well as the volume button on the left side. The screen was bright but the colors to ne seemed fake like neon like. Whites weren't white. More like a yellowish tint. Ice cream sandwich was cool can't wait till it our Rezounds get it. Or at least s-off and a custom rom. But I will be keeping my Rezound.
