[HD2 General] stevediaz:
your chances would be 50% and 50%, if u are a proffesional solder in soldering and you cant install other os without the usb port. Just buy another hd2 on ebay and replace the part.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ha imagine seeing you here in the HD2 forums LOL. Any way, have you checked to see if the device has HSPL on the device or not as this is what is going to be your only real problem besides the inconvenience of not being able to charge the device normally. You have to flash HSPL via USB it can not be flashed via SD card. Also so you know if you flash a stock ROM for the device via SD card you will lose HSPL if it is on the device. So I recommend you only using custom Windows Mobile ROMs or Android ROMs. You can flash both of these via SD card, but you have to flash WP7 ROMs via USB. Also as I told you in my PM earlier today, click on the link in my sig to get info on flashing clk via SD card, but make sure you use the new clk version linked in the bottom of post #3. ;)
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
Well the device is in pieces ATM with a flat battery and no real way of confirming I can charge it after I cocked up and tore the power button membrane. If the device does only have spl what are my options? And once I can give it life how do I check? I am an android man by nature :D thanks again guys :-)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
To check if it has SPL or HSPL you need to boot the device into the boot loader by powering on the device while holding the volume down button down. If will say either SPL or HSPL at the top of the screen. If it is HSPL 2.08 you can use MAGLDR , but that is the only HSPL version it supports. Now clk can be used with all HSPL versions. If you do not have HSPL you can only flash the stock Win More ROMs for the device. One last thing do you have a TMOUS or EU version of the HD2.
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
It will be the EU version as I am in UK. Do some devices ship with hspl? The device has have is one of the test models I think. That's what the box says anyway.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Now that is a question that to be honest I really do not know the answer too. If it has HSPL already it should also say Cotulla in bootloader too if it is HASPL by Cotulla. If it does not then it must have had HSPL to start with. If it is a test device than it was probably a TMOUS test device from when T-Mobile was doing testing for their version of the HD2. But your HD2 should be the same as any other EU HD2 as far as the hardware goes and can be flashed with all radio versions. You might want to PM XDA Recognized Developer xmoo as I know he use to have a test HD2 device and also has the thread "Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS", he can probably give you more info on a test device than I can.
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
I'm reasonably sure they wouldn't ship a phone with HSPL pre-installed. Surely that's akin to shipping a phone with root access, or with a custom recovery installed? Although I don't really know the order of installation on native Android phones.

Assuming you don't have HSPL already, you're going to have to use SD Android. Firstly check your ROM version is settings>software info (at least I think it's there, haven't used WinMo in ages) and if it's 3.14 you're ready to go basically. Just download an SD build, place it on the root of your SD card, run CLRCAD then HARET and you should be fine.

If you haven't got the 3.14 stock ROM then you'll have to download the o2 version from the HTC website and flash it via your SD card. To do this, do the following:

- Download a shipped Rom from the HTC website

- Rename the extension to .zip

- open it with winzip and extract the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder

- Rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of a microSD card thats been formatted to FAT32

- Insert your storage card into your phone

- Enter Bootloader and follow onscreen instructions to flash

Shamelessly copied from Mskip's guide ;)
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
Hmm OK cool. So :D I've been looking at this board some more and it seems basically intact. So I might try to put a new USB port onto it. It is missing some of the plates, as shown, but I believe I may be able to fill them in with silver conductive pen and then after a few layers solder to it. Even if it only lasts long enough to do the hspl it would be a move well made. And at this point I cannot see me being able to do more damage.

+ the USB port is like £2.50 or something, then my replacement power button membrane is a fiver, a battery dock is £5-10 and the silver conductive pen is maybe 20 or so. Cheap enough if I can get it to live again.

But should my efforts fail its still possible to do android via SD with spl?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Usually a device would not ship with HSPL, but the device heavy_metal_man has is a test device that T-Mobile used to do testing for the T-Mobile HD2. So it very well could have come with HSPL. I say this because when you use a JTAG on a HD2 it actually puts 2.08 HSPL on it so you can then flash the OS back to the device after reassembling it. And this HSPL is not HSPL by Cotulla and the DFT.

He can still use NAND Android on his device without a USB port, as long as he has HSPL. Both MAGLDR and clk are flashable via SD card just like a Win Mo ROM is. But if he want to use MAGLDR and Android he will have to use CWM from SD card not NAND because he can not flash it via USB.

I hope what you described works out for you, But no it is not possible without HSPL. HSPL is how you unlock the bootloader of the HD2 to be able to run custom software.
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
So hspl is like s-off ??
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You can look at it that way, it is actually more like just a unlocked bootloader on the Sensation though because the HD2 does not have the two levels of security like the Sensation.
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
ok man cool. well if i can i intend to repair the "pads" using conductive silver pen and some replacment pads that im going to take from a usb media device i have spare. i am also going to use this as a test device for my ideas. then i am going to resolder the usb port back to the device hopefully lasting long enough to do the hspl. but we shall see. i need to wait for payday, then parts :D i shall document my progress should anyone wish?

op updated
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
As I said in my PM to you The XTC clip is something new to me, but from what I have found in my research on it is that it is a two part process. First connect a USB cable to the XTC Clip device to power it, you can also use a 9 volt battery with a special USB cable connected to the device and battery to power it. Although I am not sure if just the software on the computer is used to create the gold card, or if the device is actually used to make the gold card. I think it is just the software on the computer, but the device comes with a special cable to use that connects to the XTC Clip device that you can put the SD card into to make the gold card. I assume this only works though if the XTC Clip device is connected via USB to the computer.Anyway you create a gold card to re write the CID of the device. Now I am not that educated about gold cards and exactly what they do, I know they do give you the equivalent of Super CID so you can flash any stock ROM or other software. Maybe Recognized Contributor Samsamuel or Senior Member Mister B can chime in here with a more detailed explination.

The second part of the XTC Clip process you have to insert the SD card you made into a gold card into the deviceis. Then you connect the ribbon from the dummy SIM card to the XTC Clip device then place the dummy SIM car into the SiM card slot of the device. BBoot into the.bootlaoder and the gold card is detected and flashed, then the device will ask you if you want to flash again (return to downloader) or enter DIAG mode (diagnostic mode). You select DIAG mode and the device detects the dummy SIM card and will proceed to format something with a Fat format, not sure exactly what it is formating I think the radio partition but not sure because it seems to write a radio after the format. Then the it says clear talk time and ask you if you want to remove the S58 Data. You choose yes and it SIM unlocks the device. Now maybe offside something to make the unlock the gold card does permanent in the second part I am not sure. I can not find real detailed info on the XTC Clip and the use of it on the HD2. You can go to YouTube though Anne it is two videos that I found there on it but they are both very short, no voice instructions, and one is very out of focus. Plus they do not show the bootloader after the process is done.

Edit: I just watched another video for the HD7 and it is much clearer and has some voice instructions from the video creator. From watching his video I can see you actually put the SD card in the XTC Clip device and have the XTC Clip device connected via USB to the computer to make the gold card. Also the gold card that is created uses a .nbh file that makes the HD2 jump to diagnostic.I could not read all of the .nbh filename butI could make out the DIAG at the end of it.
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
Thanks for the info man. I am well versed in how the xtc clip functions on android HTC devices and I will share my knowledge :cool: the xtc clip serves 2 functions. It creates gold cards using the hardware built into it. And it uses its sim dummy to authenticate the diag file. Once the clip creates the gold card it loads the diag file for your target device. The diag files are leaked official HTC files used by service engineers ;)

When you put the Sdcard into the device with the flex cable and power it into hboot the device finds the diag file and that makes it jump into diag mode. Once their you tell the device to clean the s58 data. The diag file then looks for the HTC white sim, or super sim. It finds the xtc clip flex cable which emulates the official HTC white sim and authenticates the removal of the security. It then wipes all the security data from the device s-off! As far as I know the sim unlock and supercid are just side effects of the diag file. Hense why the sensation forum uses the diag file to unlock their sim lock after s-off.

What I do not know is how windows phone boot loaders react to it. If it does what it does to the Android brothers then it will allow me to flash any unsigned code I want from any region permantly :cool: then, I should just be able to flash hspl from the bootloader as a nhb file. I would imagine this has not been done before as people needed the full program to remove the security so they could have the hspl. Much like revolutionary does android devices. This is what I would like to know. Afaik after the xtc clip the bootloader on the Leo says security unlocked so I hope that this will be akin to s-off and not bootloader unlocked as you said hspl is :D

Can somebody point me in the right direction so I can talk to the guys who made the hspl please :D might as well ask the important questions while we wait ;)

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You need to contact Cotulla or bepe. They are members of the Dark Forces Team (DFT) which is the team that released HSPL for the HD2 and made MAGLDR. I would try contacting Cotulla first though, he is one hell of a dev plus it seems he is still a very active XDA member where as bepe does not show any recent activity on XDA that I can see.
[HD2 General] heavy_metal_man:
i have PM`ed cotulla ;) hopefully he (she? dont know :P) will be able to help out :cool: payday is friday so i will start ordering parts and get this ball rolling ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
I accidentally spilled a small bottle of water near the right pocket, which is where my phone was resting. The water got inside the TPU case, towards the top where power button and headphone jack is, along with the back of the phone around camera and kickstand. I took the case out as quickly as I could and dried the phone. It seems to be working ok, though I am at work and can't really try it out to see if all functions are working. Anyone have any advice? Should I try to go to sprint? :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
Put your phone into a bowl of uncooked rice. It will help draw out any water that might be in it....if done quickly enough that is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i wouldnt take it to sprint yet.. if everythings working your all set.. if somethings wrong with the phone because of the water your screwed because insurance is no good if u messed your phone up from water they have lil stickers inside the phone and if they get wet they change color.. thats how they kno if the phone has water damage.. i would see if everything works before u bring it in...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I thought sprints coverage includes water damage. Have to pay the deductible tho. I once dropped my 3D in the toilet. I recovered it quickly and removed the case, and the indicator by the battery did not show up. I thought I was in the clear until about 3wks later and my phone started acting goofy beginning with losing mobile service. Since the indicator still wasn't showing up I took it in and got a replacement phone and didn't have to pay the deductible. I had read that water damage can take up to a couple months to show up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuskr:
I would just wait and see if it recovers before getting a new one
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
For first few minutes, it worked ok, than the screen started to fliker, than it progressively got worse from there. Camera stopped working, than the phone started to vibrate on its own. After rebooting, it died. Now the screen is completely non-responsive, though I can feel the haptic feedback every now and than. I am getting phone calls as the phone rings, but I can't answer it since, well, the screen is not working. I can silence the ring with the power button, but the power button isn't doing anything else.

I can't believe that a freak accident like that with a few drops of water can do this much damage. My phone is in Diztronic TPU case with a screen protector. It was in my pocket when the water spilled, with few drops spilling in my pocket, on top of the phone, went under the phone case and now I have a dead phone:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
Open your phone open, clean the board with a tooth brush soaked in alcohol. It would be best to bake to the board, I use a hako with a paint can with a whole in the bottom. I have actually heard of people putting their phones a toaster oven, sounds crazy but its more so to get rid of any moisture and reflow any damaged chips.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

There is a indicator inside the phone also. But it sounds like they took it in as other problems without thinking water damage, as your visible indicator was fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
I thought the alcohol tip only worked with lab grade isopropyl alcohol? Basically it bonds with the water then evaporates, but the kind you get at the drug store isn't concentrated enough. I fully admit i could be wrong though.

Find all the silica gel packs you can get, go to a shoe store and take all the packs out of the shoe boxes or go to Home Depot. Then put them all in a bow and put your phone in the middle of it, it's the best way to draw out moisture.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Dude turn your phone off and let it dry for a day. If you keep it on it will most likely short something out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xTmDarren:
i would do the rice thing and see what happens after a day.. otherwise if you take it to a sprint store DO NOT say anything about the water damage unless they ask.. You may have gotten lucky and the sticker may have no trace of water..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DougYeti:
Damp Rid

Go to the hardware and get a tub of damp rid. Put thr DR in a large tupperware.put the phone in a smaller tupperware and put the open small tupperware into the big tupperware (sealed) for 2 to 3 days. I saved 2 phones this way. . . . Kids.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sbjohnny:
My wife dropped her OG evo in the bathtub and it was totally done. We pay for the Sprint coverage and they took care of us with no issues whatsoever.

I can verify their warranty definitely covers water damage. That is if the rice trick doesn't work first.

Has anyone had a problem with lost GPS signal while using Nokia Drive? I took my phone out today to try this out, the outbound journey was fine, worked as well as I expected. But coming home back along the same route, I got the message that the GPS signal was lost after a couple of miles and nothing I did would get it back. Only after switching the phone off and then restarting near home did it start working again.

I'm hoping this is just a one off or perhaps nothing to do with the phone. Needs more testing before I can trust it for work.
