Ok this is what is possible and what is not possible with a broken USB port. You can not flash HSPL without a USB connection to your computer. You can flash MAGLDR and CLK via your SD card by renaming the .nbh file the same as what you named the stock ROM .nbh file and placing the .nbh file on the root of your SD card and booting into the bootloader. You can not flash Clockwork Mod Recovery via USB for MAGLDR or use fastboot commands to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery after flashing clk. You can get Clockwork Mod Recovery via SD card for MAGLDR by placing the two needed files on the SD card, click the link to the guide in my sig to learn more about this. If you are already using NAND Android on your HD2 and have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your HD2 when your USB port stops working you can still flash Android ROMs via your SD card but you have to use ROMs that will work with your current partition layout that the version of Clockwork Mod Recovery you have uses. To change your partition size you will have to flash another version of Clockwork Mod Recovery that uses the partition size you want. Keep in mind when I say Clockwork Mod Recovery I also mean any other custom recovery you may use or are using presently. You can not flash any WP7 ROMs without a working USB port. I think that pretty much covers it.

That was very informative. I should start taking notes from you. lol.

As samsamuel suggested try and raise hell, it may get you somewhere. Or mayber just go back when that person who you spoke with before

isn't there. I've had great success just talking to someone else sometimes from everything from problems with T-Mobile to my credit cards. Off

subject but i had one person tell me they couldn't help me with my credit card problem and was adamant there was nothing that could be done,

I hung up and spoke to someone else and they took off $400 so its definitely worth trying.
[HD2 General] Infralol:
Thank you everyone. If I'm not able to flash HSPL I'm pretty much denied access to the sd card flashing methods of MAGLDR/CLK. This is a bummer. Going back to the shop and making a fuss is not a really an option , because I'm not that kind of a person and to be frankly honest it is probably my fault. The symptoms of a loose micro usb port were there for nearly 3-4 months . I had to jiggle the cable so I can get connection and even the slightest vibration/sudden move could brake it and it would seem one of the days the jiggle from my side was too hard and tore off the port fully. I can't imagine that not leaving traces of an external intervention. Now that I think of it I should of have taken it when the port was still somewhat usable because the loose connection came from overuse or fabric defect , not from my mishanding of the device.

I will flash 3.14 and continue to use Windows Mobile for couple of months until Galaxy SIII or some other phone that can come in terms with HTC HD2's awesomeness comes out.

A thing that bothers me is that almost every phone uses micro usb ports for charging/transfering data and it is bound to brake sooner or later. This standart seems very fragile and I wonder if that is the reason Apple uses their own proprietary USB cable/charger/dock port.

Regards.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I have seen just the USB port online you can buy. Maybe you could ask them how much they might charge for labor if you get the part. It may save you a little bit of money. If not you could always buy a spare battery that comes with a wall charger, the kind the whole battery plugs into. That way you can charge your battery up since you can't charge your phone. They sell them on eBay for around $5-$10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrodefeld:
Hello everyone,

I want to update my phone to an ICS rom, but I am a little confused about the terminology and all the options available. I have a few questions:

1. What is the direction that the development is taking in terms of ICS roms? I mean, I am not really sure what "FC07" means and why it would be better than a different combination of letters and numbers.

In layman's terms, when will we see an ICS rom that could be considered "final" or free of bugs and on par with what Galaxy Nexus users have?

With that said, what is the best ICS rom today?

2. I want to customize my phone for faster internet speeds. I was considering switching to Verizon simply for faster network speeds, but the hassle might not be worth it. What tips do you have to help me achieve faster speeds and more reliable coverage on this phone?

Are there specific modems you would recommend for faster internet speeds?

What about custom PRLs? I was told that you can use a custom PRL to force Verizon 3g speeds on your phone, at risk of your contract being terminated.

Is it true that if I did use a Verizon custom PRL I would achieve speeds identical to if I had a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon?

Anyway, what combination of modem/custom PRL would you suggest to achieve the best coverage and fastest speeds on the E4GT?

3. I have heard a lot about changing the resolution of the Epic 4g Touch to simulate a 720p display, making the icons smaller. Would you recommend I do this? Does this work with the ICS roms?

4. A while back there were tweaks to improve the quality of the camera, especially for recording movies. I remember a hack for the international Galaxy S2 that did this. I think there was one for the E4GT as well.

Could you refer me to any camera tweaks to increase bitrate and so forth?

5. And finally, which kernel and overclocking apps should I use?

Thanks for taking my questions.

ICS ROMs

Having followed the ICS ROM discussion non-stop I hope I can answer the questions on that part. I'll leave the other questions up to smarter (and more experienced) people than me!

CW (common wisdom) suggests ROM IDs are:

F - Seems to indicate year - in particular, 2012.

May also indicate ICS as seems first introduced around same time.

C - Seems to indicate build month. (A-Jan, B-Feb, etc.)

07 - Seems to indicate build day. (3/7/2012)

FC07 is reported by many to be quite stable but I haven't heard anyone sign off an ICS build to be a daily use ROM. Calkulin's ROMs seem to be quite popular as well - he just released a new FC14 build.

There's reviews for most recent builds on YouTube if you want to get an idea of what is changed. Might help you before you decide whether to jump on ICS now or wait.

As for when one will go OTA - again, CW suggests at least 10 days after a build is approved by Sprint. (Found it in another thread, just don't remember which one.)

If you're thinking about going to ICS, please keep an eye on the thread linked below and follow the instructions when flashing ROMs. There are a lot of bricks going on - reading this may save your phone (and you some $$$)

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mick3444:
To answer your question #1....Any of the leaked roms ie: FC07, FC14, are very stable and ready for everyday use for most. Also any of the Roms based off of those rooms like calks, Mijjz, and others. However, the best ICS from out there right now is aokp. Its almost stable with just a few minor bugs. It gives you a TON OF OPTIONS! Do be careful, lots of bricks happening!

Regarding question #2, in ,y experience, hacked Verizon prls sort of iffy. I've tried 11115 with roam control and half of the time it won't connect to 3g and when it does the speeds are mediocre.

Hope this helps! Oh also when going back to gingerbread from ics, USE ODIN TO FLASH AN EL29 TAR! Or else YOU WILL BRICK!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beekersguy:
Hey guys. Thanks for all the info.

I just came from a G2x, and this process is way different.

I used Odin to root stock EL29, and then installed Rogue with the one-click. Right?

Now can I flash an EL29 ROM through Rogue? Can I also flash a different modem through Rogue, (i.e. FC07) and a "matching" ROM? And if I follow correctly, after that, if I want to change it, I have to Odin back to EL29 first?

Just trying to catch on to the different terminology.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Good so far.

Think you have a good handle on it. General rule of thumb is:

GB Kernel - CWM/CWMT/ODIN OK

ICS Kernel - Only use ODIN. CWM/CWMT will likely brick at wipe operation.

You might want to read over this thread if you haven't already:

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beekersguy:
So, if I understand correctly, I can flash different EL versions through Rogue recovery, but if I want to jump on ICS, I need to use Odin.

[signature]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Actually:

From EL you can flash anything - ODIN/CWM

From ICS/CM9 you need to flash using ODIN - even if it's just to get back to EL and then flash again using CWM.

Hope this clears it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beekersguy:
Dude, thank you sooo much.

I just got this phone yesterday, and I've read a TON of stuff in this forum, and I just wanted to verify that I was generally on-track with flashing methodology.

I think I'll try a few EL29 ROMs for now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slimslim:
Did you try it? I'm really impressed with the sense performance on ics, incredibly smooth, part because the newer sense is not so cluttered anymore, the memory management is way better in ics and also the multicore support. Is not about vivid vs skyrocket, I'm sure the ics on skyrocket will unleash the true capabilities of the device. I think Samsung has a strategy here, release the sgs3 first update the rest later. Htc released the One series with ics, then pushed the updates followed by carriers. It's marketing and sales.

I am tired of vague dates ..... we will have your upgrade in the Summer really ..... summer ends September 21th and then they may delay again.

Read about the Samsung Galaxy SIII, what another touchwiz bloated phone with no updates ???

Nexus from now on is all I buy, HTC/Samsung whoever.

Few questions I believe it should be easy to get a Galaxy Nexus now, any recommendations on where and what Galaxy Nexus to buy? I heard the international version gets updates, buy from Rogers you wait?

Do you think anybody would buy a used Galaxy SII LTE?

Last question if I do this I can just drop my LTE SIM in the Galaxy Nexus?

I know what happen the day after I am setup I will hear about the Galaxy XXXX and XDA developers will have all the code they need to give us a clean ICS rom that is as fast or faster than the Galaxy Nexus.
