but...

Mm ok... but there is one thing that gives me a bad feeling - some people reporting that they bricked their HD2 and it wont even turn on so they had to send it to a JTag repair... with ( for my budget ) high costs :/

This is the advantage of the P970 I think - the phone is in a Bootloop; repaired in 5 minutes, the phone wont even boot ( didn't show the bootanimation ); repaired in 10 minutes... and there are few more issues that can be fixed without any costs or else ( except hardware damage :P )

I can't find anything for "unbricking" a HD2 yet - only that JTag method... no SmartFlash or R&D Test Tool like for the P970...

I would like to flash Android , like I said , and this is not possible without flashing/deleting/replacing the Bootloader :/ ... so ... is it "easy" to brick the HD2 ?
[HD2 General] Bebida:
I always booted via SD which in my case was just updating the radio and installing HSPL. I have booted a massive amount of roms this way and had no issue. Plus if you have HSPL you can boot from a gold card I believe!?! But its been a while!!
[HD2 General] wvmkwv:
I've heard about booting Android from SD-Card but is this as fast as booting/executing it from the internal ROM ?
[HD2 General] Bebida:
Depends on what you boot if its ASOP It boots quicker than sense. I've found ASOP runs alot quicker than sense as well.
[HD2 General] james1123:
Bought my HD2 in July and... Well... it’s incredible! The community here behind the phone and the amount of dedicated developers is phenomenal! The fact that it can run multiple OS's just puts the icing on the cake! defiantly buy one :D
[HD2 General] gubshi:
I was about to open exact the same thread, "should I buy a HD2?" :D

If I buy a new one it's still quite expensive, but as I can see there is massiv development going on. My current device is a Motorola Defy and it seems to be great to have an unlocked bootloader on the HTC HD2 :)

Are you still able to use the hardware-buttons for answering/rejecting a call? On MIUI/CM and Windows Phone 7?

I guess multibooting Windows7 and MIUI would be my choice.

edit: also, is batterylife ok on those custom roms? somewhat like one day would be enough.
[HD2 General] guildamx:
I am using MIUI (this one, stable version) and:

- yes, the hardware buttons work great both for anwering/rejecting calls and for activacting the device from sleep (all of them!)

- battery life is decent (with moderate use you can make 2 full days... but the huge screen drains a lot)... If you want a comparison, better than Mileston and worse than Nexus S.
[HD2 General] gubshi:
great. thanks for answering all of my questions, I think you just convinced me to buy one in January :)
[HD2 General] wvmkwv:
I have already ordered one :D ... should recieve it nex week :DD ...
[HD2 General] Blackraven76:
My hd2 is amazing. You just need to choose the right rom and enjoy a super phone. I recommend the purchase.
[HD2 General] wvmkwv:
what ROM are you using? I ordered one with Android 2.1 Froyo and a Sense Theme already installed... the ROM is quite good I think

This is a photo from the phone I purchased by auction on ebay yesterday http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/256/hd2e.png/
[HD2 General] Bebida:
Try miui because its ASOP it runs so fast and there are 100's themes available.

Edit: http://db.tt/nahvMukY
[HD2 General] consolation:
What's asop? If you meant AOSP, than miui definitely is not AOSP.

Re good ROMs, I'd recommend hyperdroid: it's stable, fast and easy on the juice.
[HD2 General] gubshi:
same goes for me :)
[HD2 General] erwinpiero:
Yes offcourse, you'll found your answer when it's on your hand :D, never regret.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
Alright guys, I got this case as its been popular in the comunity and wanted to give it a try...this case is absolutely gorgeous...looks great, feels great and seems to be one of the most protective cases out there that lets you keep the slick look of the device BUT the bad outweights the good... my main concern were the buttons..I got into a couple of rage moments and i believe I developed new muscles in my thumb from trying to press the on/off screen.

Watch the video and make your own decision

Hope this helps you guys!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] twolfekc:
Just commented on your other video haha. You just go out and buy a million cases? Haha. But if you put a piece of paper where the volume buttons and where the power button is. It will help out making them easier to press. Just fyi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ml2514:
I have this case and with extended use the button areas do get softer.

Quality is top notch. And in terms of slipperyness.. its not as bad as glossy cases but definitely does not stick like rubber. This is actually a good thing because when its in your pocket it glides of easy.

Sent from my SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
yes..its impossible to disagree that the quality is just amazing..cant match it at all ,and the look is just plain great..but for the price tag I really expected a little more R&D and not having to do work arounds to use them comfortably
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
haha! negative, I get them as gifts or people send them to me to review them and to write an honest opinion..thats why you dont see me lying about the case hehe.

Yeah the paper thingy does work ,but my point was like after normal people (not us phone junkies) get the case, they have to do something else to make it work. And after paying 35 dollars thats just isnt fair . Now if people picked them up for free or shipping only..it hella worth it

I wish they come with a revision because if they do That will be the case i would be sporting for good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ftarules:
Despite the quirks, I can say that the case works. I was climbing stairs in an apartment complex, and my phone covered with this case, fell out of my pocket and dropped about 12 feet in height. Whew.. Thank goodness for this case, it survived... Very happy that I spent money on this case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
thats a mortal drop dude!!!! im glad the phone survived! yeah its a great protective case...again if they fix that little issue it ll b a winner for sure!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Branso07:
I tried the paper thing and three paper would move out of place or just keep the button down.could someone put up a video of how to "mod" this case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
and lets send it to D3o themselves hehehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] servbotx:
I got the all black one, and of course was before this video was posted...

What I ended up doing was taking an exacto blade and cutting along the wide parts of the buttons near where the mold for each one starts. The buttons now press with ease and the cuts are not visible.

I tried the deal with the paper under the buttons first, but it made the buttons too easy to press, they phone kept getting turned on in my pocket.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
how easy was cutting around?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] servbotx:
cutting through was easy, you just don't want to cut all the way around the button.

You only cut the longest sides of the buttons. There was an illustration somewhere in regards to the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
Cool I'm going to try that ! Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Natureboy72:
I love this case! I have the 2 tone black back and gray front. This may sound crazy, but I'm thinking about taking it to a skate shop and having grip tape installed on the back part.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
Nice review, a bit long though to make your point. I have this case and its really nice. I personally love it. I don't mind the button issue though, I have adapted. It does get a bit annoying at times, but that's only when flashing Roms in CWM. I feel perfectly safe and not afraid to drop my phone. I feel the more careless I am the less I tend to drop it. I bought mine online for $14 so it was a great deal.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rault18:
Usually my reviews are the same length and I try to attack the same points so I can have uniformity.

I love the case and after modding it it def went up in my book however the average Joe user won't know how to mod the case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznSwag:
Got my d30 case a couple months ago for 5 bucks, i dont use it anymore more but it developed a crack in the back of the case and yeah buttons were kinda hard to press but you get used to it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
ive also had the case since basically it came out and it has also developed multiple cracks on the back. one runs from the usb port up about an inch, and others are where the buttons are, though smaller. this might be from taking it off and on every once in a while.

sighs. i have a spare one in black though, but i like this white one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adclem:
I have had mine now for 3 weeks and I love the case and hate the buttons. I am going to try the mod and see if that helps. The buttons are the only bad thing about this case.
[Touch HD General] CruisinX:
Hello, XDA-Guys.

First of all, thanks for the nice work you bringin' into the world of smartphoning.

I've just tested the Rhobuntu Developement on my HTC Blackstone. Looks like that the last build works fine but there's a funny problem with the touch. It seems like touching the down left corner it recognizes the upper left corner. To put it another way: Vertical touching is inverted.

Maybe anyone has a suggestion to solve the problem? I've tested the msmts_config but this doesn't solve it.
[Touch HD General] yarach:
sounds like a bad calibration
[Touch HD General] CruisinX:
Weird... I put the build on an 8GB SD, fully FAT formatted, it worked but it doesn't let me calibrate the touch. For testing purpose I put it on an old 2GB SD. Calibration successful. Just one problem to solve... It cannot establish a WIFI connection. Ok, I'll try to find out via "search". Maybe there's a walkthrough how to connect rhobuntu to my wifi-connection.

[Kindle Fire General] coolgus:
Hello

Want to share my experience with a bricked Kindle Fire since I've spent many hours trying to solve the mystery. Of course there were many helpful topics and posts here but my problem was solved from a combination of steps I read.

My Kindle Fire was stuck during the boot, showing only the logo. So here's what I did

1. In order to boot, I used the Kindle Fire utility. Connect Fire with usb without caring for the no driver message. Then execute it, go to Change BootMode and choose Normal. You'll have to close the Kindle and re enable it and that made the trick to boot normal

2. ..but it didn't fix the problem because after shutdown and opening the device again, it was stuck again at the Kindle Fire logo. So again open Kindle Fire Utility and choose No 7, "Install latest TWRP Recovery".

3. If everything goes according with the plan, TWRP is installed and you have access to a new menu upon booting. Choose Mount and you must be able to see the contents of the Kindle Fire in your pc

4. Download latest Kindle Fire update from here. After downloading it, rename the update-kindle-6.2.1_D01E_3103920.bin file to update.zip

5. Copy update.zip to the root of Kindle Fire

6. Unmount from TWRP and go to Install. You must see the update.zip, choose it and then press Flash. It should start updating Kindle with latest firmware. I got some errors regarding missing misc directory but it finished installing it.

7. With a new reboot, TWRP was gone and Kindle Fire was booting to the latest firmware without any problem even if I made several restarts.

Hope this helps you a bit

Happy new year !!

Thanks Coolgus.

I had rooted my fire and tried to put in TWRP 2.0. During the install my Fire locked up and hasn't come back.

For those interested, I'm checking out the post about the TWRP issues here:

[Kindle Fire General] kfuller:
YES!!!

Finally! Thanks man.

Just to reiterate, if you can get TWRP installed, and this is the exact same method listed above that I used, then you should be able to complete this. If your windows drivers are setup correctly, then use the mount usb storage button to enable access from windows. Then just do as the OP says and flash it. It DOES take a few anxious minutes to get past the Kindle Fire logo screen, but be patient.

Now I'm back to stock and ready to brick it again!

I had an issue today after root, twrp, flashing CM7. I went to flash gapps and it sent me in to a recovery-loop. System wouldnt load. Ran fastboot while in recovery it stuck at the yellow triangle, ran fastboot again(only after 3 hours of trying to figure out how i was going to explain this to the GF) and bingo(i do not have a clue why, ive been with android since 1.5 and never bricked) pressed "power" for about 15 seconds shut it down, powered back on and it booted right up. Beforehand i had tried restoring KF backup to try solve the issue, so it booted OG KF rom. Got brave, reflashed CM7(no gapps this time, and thats where im at. Used adb to push market and serviceframework. Might not help, just thought id share. Oh and i had to manually install drivers for fastboot.
[Kindle Fire General] rrsabre:
I'm getting this very problem. My computer won't recognize the KF and nothing will work. Not even running in NORMAL BOOT MODE. I don't know what else to do.
[Kindle Fire General] kfuller:
Your not in fastboot. Can you be more detailed about what has happened? What pc operating system are you using and do you know how to tell if the usb drivers are installed?

What do I do when stuck at this stage? Do I keep waiting? Or unplug the kindle?

I also have the same problem. It is just stuck at the "kindle fire" logo screen and does... nothing... This is annoying.

Apparently using a new computer (Windows 7 x64 this time instead of XP 32-bit) and a fresh install of drivers helps. My Kindle lives!

then use kfu again to change bootmode or do it manually depending on the current bootmode:

with adb:

adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"

adb reboot

with fastboot:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

or

fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot

Solved.

In bootmode, choose recovery, unplug and replug kf. It restart again.

There is no way you can break a kindle while work with software on any device. When it say waiting on device, the computer waiting on the device to disconnect and reboot. Just Hold The power button while the usb cord is still connected. Once it go off just press the power button once And also u can control the boot of ur device by using the KF utility it work like a charm.
[Kindle Fire General] xpansia:
Hi all, i would like your help. Well my Fire is bricked. It has boot loop.

I've downloaded KFU 0.9.2

At the moment fire is connected on win xp, KFU see it as ADB STatus: Online, ADB Rooted: NO, Boot Status: 4000

i can't install TWRP Recovery, becouse of "waiting on device" status

In Device. manager it is seen as Android comp. ADB Interface, and as a and as Generic volume in Storage Volumes. It is even seen as a Removable disk F in my comp.

What should i do? I need yours step by step help.

I hope it could still be saved

thnx
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
run install_drivers.bat from KFU then retry

assume you press disconnect on the kf before you work with KFU ?
[Kindle Fire General] xpansia:
@b63 HI, no disconnect option is available on display. Only logo is flashing every 2-3 sec.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i think it is rebooting when you say the logo is flashing every 2-3 sec

take the wall charger and load it for an hour - then it should work normally again

had this in some other cases - if you'r interested you can find them by searching for "rebooting every 2-3 sec" or such
