How to flash

Place ROM on SD Card

You must extract boot.img and flash via fastboot.

If you dont know how to do that i have CleanFLASH that will do it for you here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416791

This should leave you in fastboot so you then need to boot to recovery!

WIPE ALL DATA. DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN RESTORE FROM BACK UP!

Flash ROM

PROFIT!

Wow all these ics leaks have my head spinning

I'm living on a yellow submarine
[HTC Rezound] chingy51o:
Its an engineering build and HIGHLY unstable. While it may be fun to play with, its nothing to get excited about. This just tells us how far away they are from releasable ICS...
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
I know this is an early leak and we can't expect much, but any idea on whether these leaks take advantage of hardware acceleration like ICS is supposed to? Thanks in advance Scott!
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
This is the leak in flashable format?

There is the issue of downgrading though.
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
So unstable I cant get it to boot... Still working on it.... lol
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
Damn Im a newb! I forgot to flash boot.img...

Its booting now... Trying to register? May have to strip it down some...

[HTC Rezound] Tachi91:
i took bunch of the verizon crap out... took out the HTC lockscreen... I like the ICS better (for Now) .... Are the reboots just because its unstable or because its been set to do it by default for whatever unknown reason?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
What I *think* is because we needed an updated radio. Thats just my first guess and only a guess.

I am sure there are a lot of bugs in it to. WiFi and text messages do work however.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Alright, so here's the deal. I came into possession of a Euro HD2 recently. I have been using my personal TMo HD2 for a year or two. The problem with the Euro one I was given is that it refuses to boot past the splash screen. Here's a breakdown of everything I've tried so far to restore it.

The device boots into the bootloader without any problems. I initially loaded HSPL 3.03 onto it. It was originally on SPL 2.08. I've done a task29 on it several times with the RUU and device reporting it as a success. After this, I've also flashed a few radios to make sure the radio partition was fine. When trying to flash a ROM, it will either finish all the way and then boot to the secondary splash, where it stops booting, or it stops the flashing process at 3%.

I'm thinking that the NAND may be corrupted, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't have access to JTAG, so that isn't an option. If I can't fix this one, then it's not a big deal. I'll just scrap it for parts. It would be nice to have a second HD2 to sell or give to a dev, or even to use as a backup.

The bootloader reads as follows

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

It will not accept a ROM image via SD. I can see the screen flash to the gray SD loading screen for a split second before it returns to the RGB bootloader. Currently using a 16GB SD card. I'm going to use a 1GB card in a few minutes to check that the size isn't an issue.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
SD flash needs 4gb or smaller card
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Sorry for the late reply. I had to acquire a smaller SD card. I've just used a 1GB microSD card. The update seems to have gone through. It hangs at gray screen where it says UPDATE SUCCESSFUL. I left it there for 10 minutes. On my 1024Leo, it always reboots on its own after this. I had to pull the battery on this one to make it reset. Then it does the same thing as before where it just hangs at the splash screen when I try to boot it normally.

Any other suggestions I might try before ordering a replacement board?
[HD2 General] 5800xm_user:
Does it vibrate before it gets stuck and feel hot?
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
It vibrates while powering on, but does not move past the primary splash screen. It does not heat up any noticeable amount.
[HD2 General] 5800xm_user:
this might sound crazy/silly but freezer the phone for couple min and see if that will work or freeze it and reinstall the rom. I had that issue with my second HD2 were I HSPL, radio, maglr & flash rom, reboot and would get stuck at splash screen. Searched & searched and found a thread with a member with the same problem I had and resolved it by using ice pack while installing the rom. I gave it a try and it worked for me.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Hmmm.... That does sound crazy. Lol

So, you mean you put it in the freezer or under an ice pack while flashing or before?
[HD2 General] jacket08:
What temperature does the phone have while you flash it? I had an HD2 hat always got stuck flashing. It suffered from freezings due to overheating, and during flashing room temperature was enough to kill it. I put it in the fridge for half an hour and was able to flash it back to stock then(through sd). Got it replaced from my provider.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
I guess it couldn't hurt. It's just a spare device for me anyway. I didn't notice any heating up on the device at all during flashing this one.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Upon further inspection, I believe this might actually be a T-Mobile 1024Leo based on the model numbers being the same on both my personal TMo HD2 and this dead one. Someone did replace the screen on it at some point.
[HD2 General] 5800xm_user:
i put the phone on top of the ice pack while flashing
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
I don't have an ice pack handy, but I did throw it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. I then took it out and put it on a pack of frozen okra. It's flashing via SD right now. Hopefully it actually boots this time...
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
You have got to be kidding me.......

It worked....

I honestly cannot believe that this just happened....
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the flash worked when chilled = good! that's great news.

the flash worked when chilled = oh no! that's terrible! you (almost certainly) have failing hardware.

Fingers crossed it was a one-off corruption that is now fixed, but if i were you id get some rom working and then stay away from flashing anything.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, it's just a backup device. I did confirm that it is the 1024Leo and not the 512 model. I'm going to see if I am able to flash again now. If it hangs again, I might just give it away to someone. We'll see. I might be able to score a TMo unit with a broken screen for cheap and repair this one. Thanks for the help, guys.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Ugh. Back to square one. It is certainly hardware related. I had it sitting next to me plugged in to my laptop. It rebooted to the splash screen again and is now stuck. At least I know how to fix it.
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Alright, so I made some time to open this thing up. I found that there was no thermal tape left on the inside above the heatsink for the CPU. I ordered some small extra thermal tape that should arrive in a few days. If it helps at all, I'll update the thread.

I'm not particularly optimistic about this solution, but the alternative is to superheat the CPU to reconnect the disconnected contacts. I'm going for the safer, simpler, and cheaper solution. If this doesn't work, then I will probably just purchase a damaged HD2 and swap the parts.
[HD2 General] jacket08:
Here is a link to a similar thread in which they discussed possible solutions to your problem. I hope it helps.
[HD2 General] 5800xm_user:
I read that reheating the cpu might work with adding thermal compound to cool it might work. I was gonna do it but i need to buy screen/digitizer first before I open it. Glad it worked out :cool:
[HD2 General] cajunflavoredbob:
Yep. I saw that thread last night. I added some thermal paste to the CPU, but didn't notice a change. Reheating the CPU would be the way to fix it. It's kind of along the same lines as the Red Ring of Death on the Xbox 360. The CPU got so hot at one point, that the solder points to the board were terminated. Cooling the board shrinks the spaces, allowing for the contacts to touch again and work until it reheats.

I'm probably just going to get a replacement main board.

Yea, adding thermal compound helps a bit. It lasts about 40-60 minutes longer than without it. It isn't a permanent fix, though. Once it gets this bad, replacing the board is the safest method to do. Cooling it down will give you enough time to backup your data to transfer over to another device or board.
[HTC Desire S] Chrome01:
Hello everybody, tried again to downgrade my actually hboot 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 with this tutorial (http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/87946-tuto-downgrade-du-hboot-en-09800000/) and i'm stuck on the installation of the RUU.

The first steps with adb works well but when I tried to install the RUU I get every time the error 155. I search a bit and I found a pseudo-solution, turn my HTC on fastboot USB and then launch RUU.exe, first steps of the installation here worked but stucks after a few minutes on the HTC bootscreen (black screen with silver HTC and there is no loading status bar)

Can somebody help me ?

I will like to precise that i couldn't not turn my USB to debugging mode, option is selected but it dont more appear in the notification bar. But if i succeed to do the firsts steps in the adb it is necessarily in debugging mode or not ?

Sorry for my bad english and thanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] :
I found this explanation:

Source is androidforums.com (707610-post16.html), can't post links yet, sorry...

If "adb device" shows you your Desire, then USB Debugging is activated.

My idea:

Have you tried to extract the update.zip (maybe another name) from the RUU and tried to flash it in recovery/hboot (rename it to PG88IMG.zip, I think)?
[HTC Desire S] Chrome01:
Will try the way you said, have you any tutorial to do that ?

Will seek that but if you have the solution already, i'm interested :D

EDIT : found a tread on androidforums (213279-ruu-zip-possible.html) that explain what you said

Thanks to EddyOS, will try it ^^

EDIT : The two RUU for my HTC aren't working. The two zip's are 'invalid'. When i tried to install .zip with hboot it is not detected en when i try to install it with recovery; it says that the zip is 'bad' and that the installation is aborted...
[HTC Desire S] :
Are you sure that (temproot and) changing your version worked?

You may should try from step 7 on again (gaining temproot) or compare the version of RUU with version entered in command
[HTC Desire S] Chrome01:
Yeah I think because when I launch the RUU it gaves me the version that I entered in adb..

Have tried to flash a first custom rom but I was stuck on HTC bootscreen. Tried to flash a rom that works every time (Saga 3D) and my HTC works again but not with the rom that i need..
[Galaxy Spica General] ShowtimeR:
Hi !

I try to overclock my Spica with CPU Master Pro.apk but when i start it i get the message that Superuser has denied CPU Master Pro permissions.

I have rooted my phone with z4root.apk and with the program from the Unlockroot.com.

I use stock room (Original)

I found this:

__________________________________

1. USB debugging off

2. Plug in the phone to your computer.

3. Turn USB debugging on

4. Open a command prompt and cd to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

5. type adb shell

6. type su

7. On your phone open up setCPU. It'll then prompt you to allow or disallow SU permissions!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:

That's the only possibility. I have the same files and Siyah is the only change I've made on my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
Moar info!

If you used the galaxy s unlock it puts the files in a folder, not the top level of the sdcard.

I would say its foolish to delete the efs backup created by the unlock program.

Also while it is recommended to keep the files siyah creates (they will be recreated every time you flash a new version of siyah, they will just keep coming back) it is not required. You CAN safely delete them.

Again, there's not much point in deleting them, they will be back. And you're safer having them, and they are pretty small.

Always keep some method of fully recovering your phone handy (full stock Odin or something that will overwrite ALL the changes and flashing you have done) just in case.

Backups are good mm'kay.

How to enable USB Debugging:

Settings-Applications-Development-check USB debugging
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phoenix84118:
To clarify:

The Galaxy S II defaults to MTP mode (media mode, similar to iPhone).

Unlike said iPhone however, we can change ours back to the UMS (USB Mass Storage) mode by enabling USB debugging.

I never found it documented anywhere, I just ran into by accident when enabling USB debugging for TB and MTP stopped working.

It took me a while to figure out why.

I actually like MTP mode (it's faster and easier to use, except in linux as I understand).

The "USB Utilities" option seems to be a per-use setting (not 100% sure, never used it). However USB debugging is a "set and forget" option.

Use steps I quoted above to enable it.

After that when you plug it in, you can select to mount it to the PC via the notification bar.

Hope that helps.

Tried everything

Guys,

I have enabled USB debugging mode as you have recommended and and it still does not work. I am always getting the notification on windows as "USB device not recognized".

I have tried everything. i have installed the USB driver for I777 from the samsung website. That did not work.

Another strange thing. I tried "Wireless and Network>USB utilities>Connect storage to PC" on my FRIENDS computers(Windows 7), it works.! My phone connects in mass storage mode and I am able to transfer files as usual. I did not install any software on my friends computers.

But when i do the same thing on my WINDOWS 7 PC, it does not work. I use a Lenovo T420i with factory software installed.

I am a noob in the drivers department. Can anyone please tell me what to do.

Thank you.

Help appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
you say "new user" which implies stock rom. if what they are asking you to do is not working, then i believe you might need to exchange the phone. if you have an ICS rom on it, then i think that you might be stuck with MTP until you switch back to Gingerbread. i might be wrong.

Firstly, it's how amazing you are. You asked a question and only returns to it TWO months after? Obviously, it doesn't bother you that much.

Secondly, however, we're here to help.

About your friend computer, a. maybe he did install the Samsung USB driver already or b. maybe, at that time, you are using MTP mode.

Anyway, forget about his computer, let's get it work on yours.

I personally think the USB driver that you've downloaded from their website WOULD NOT work. I don't know why but I can tell you that it did not work for me. Give me some times to dig into my files or search again on this site for the CORRECT driver. You can also help me and yourself by continue to search for this on this xda site since I got it from here too.

Thirdly, along side with the 2nd above, do try different usb cables, do try on different usb ports

Resolved

First of all I appreciate the help you are giving me.

I am sorry if I offended you by not returning for quite a long time to post.

I have now resolved the problem and would like to share for everyone's benefit over here.

The problem was not with the software, it was with the hardware. I followed all the suggestions given over here and was in the end convinced that there should be a problem with my motherboard. This is surprising because my Flash Drive and USB mouse all work with my laptop without any glitches. But my phone(i777) and any other android phone would not connect to the computer. It would say device not recognized.

My nook e-reader which used to work perfectly started acting strange, it would be detected but i would not be able to transfer files onto the nook. So now I ws convinced that this was a hardware problem.

So I called up lenovo and showed them this problem via some software where i could share my screen with them. They asked me if a USB flash drive was working and I said yes. They reply saying that everything is perfect with your laptop and cut the call. I was offended , these lenovo support guys would not understand that it was a complex problem.

So I went to a local MicroCentre which had support for lenovo servicing and showed this problem to a technician. He was convinced that there was some problem and got my motherboard replaced . And voila there connects my android to my computer in USB mode..!

I would like to thank everyone for their help and taking time out to post here.

My laptop: Lenovo T420i with i3. looks like this was a case with my laptop only. a person i know has a t420(i5) in which my phone connected without any glitches.

Thank you for your help everyone. Hope to be helpful in return in the near future.
