I'll start off with I'm drunk and tired so if poor grammar upsets you, go ahead and skip to the next post.. I am only posting because the OP made me feel invited to put my 2 cents in..

To each there own on how they perceive the world around them.. :)

From the G1 to the Sensation, I have been a fan-boy of HTC and paid full price 4x for the newest device to hit tmobile's shelve. I thought the Sensation was going to be everything I wanted in an Android smartphone... but the moment I brought home, I felt some remorse for selling my G2 so soon.

Personally, I don't care for a forum that's over saturated with the same s*** labeled with a different name... Unfortunately, this forum like all the others I've followed has encountered this same formula in my opinion. With that being said, I have found much love for this device and have followed the development here daily, all day everyday..

The t989 is my first Samsung device and one hell of a piece of hardware in my opinion..

Sure, there wasn't a lot of GB development but our device came out late for the GS II, it has a different Soc and Android had already released the SDK for ICS.. Long story short, I knew I'd be using a base rom for awhile but what I didn't know is that I'd have two great base roms to choose from... Thanks to whitehawkx and tdj!!

Fast forward to today...

I've got post RC CM9 Nightly's on a device that provides 20+ hours battery on a DAILY basis... Thanks to mikeyman77 and Mr. X over at TeamChopsticks.. and TDJ for his Venom kernel..

Some may think this phone is dead but it still goes beyond my expectations.. JB is a great update to ICS and Samsung will release source so I'm not stressed.. I know my time will come.. I also know I'll upgrade to a new phone but not in 2012..

One more prop Darkside Evo.. As much as I love AOSP.. I still think about flashing because the samsung crapware...isn't that crappy..(allshare on my smart tv really works great) love sammys smart alarm and the damn kernel rom combo provide outstanding battery life..

anyway, Im trashed and going to bed... Peace brothers

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I agree with ya. As much as I like aosp over tw, tw gives me much better battery life (dark side evolution) I think people need to cut Sammy some slack. Compared to gingerbread touchwiz, ICS touchwiz is leaps and bounds better. I have absolutely no issues using ics tw based roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
After reading all the posts,

I think what people are missing is that cm10 and ics are still relatively new. I don't feel that "we are losing developers" I feel that because everything is so new that developers need time to develop the ROMs and kernels. Not everything is going to happen over night. Things take time. And family comes first. These guys aren't even getting paid! Yet they busy their asses for us. I've come from windows mobile on my touch pro 2. It took them guys forever to create a flawless nand android ROM. I love them for it. Things will happen. Just be patient. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Binarybishop just said he will be posting nothing new on xda and follow him on Rootzwiki. He is about the 6th developer I can recall to take that route. I understand we don't want to thing the worse may be happening but hey as I look in the development section its not pretty.

Possible Roms:

Muiu

CM9

AOKP

CodenameAndroid

ParanoidAndroid

Stock

Themed Stock w/ Tweaks - usually about 3-5 choices

Bravia Engine based rom

This is normally what I see in the forums I have been a part of. Enough roms being actively worked on and discussed to cover 2 pages. Now check our development section, its nothing like that with closed threads and developers leaving because of us, the end user in some cases.

It is what it is I still like the phone and I am going to try and do what I can to help out but I hope some fresh developers pop up. But think about it if you have a lesser phone and now you can upgrade even though this phone is great you will be behind so skipping S2 to the Nexus or S3 would make sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
TDJ very much needs a break lol. I personally have only used roms by TDJ/CM Team/Master & Slave. Oh and AOKP people back in the Juggernaut days.

Once the CM9 and CM10 keeps rolling though im perfectly happy. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i completely understand that, as I've personally tried several time to kick start the project as well to learn all the stuff required to compile the ROM, tweak and Hack it, which thankfully for me it's easy to understand

I need peace and quiet to work on ROM stuff, I can't concentrate at work nor at home, as I'm always being pulled into something else. Most days I can't even get enough sleep, that's like typical on most household with kids :)

So, I'm looking forward to my retirement (in about 40 years from now :p ), then I'll have all the time in the world to poke around and tweak all my gadgets toys :D

Anyways, back to the current time.... one of these days, when i get enough time, I'll probably continue getting the hang of building android ROMs, which are more in par like Linux bootable ISO images than actual ROM as back in the old days of Windows / PalmOS era

I got the hardware, the basic knowledge, but no time

If i ever release anything, it'll probably be plain, no time for themes or skins, we'll see what the future brings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jose makalolot:
I think it's still far from over. Only issue I find is the regional distribution of our phones. What I'm implying is, if only phones distributed is similar if not the same for a particular, lesser chance that devs comes near to zero. Try checking the HD2 forums, until now, it's alive an kicking.

If only we have "inter-flashable" roms, then devs won't be jumping from device to device. Look at the galaxy series, it's a long series with different partition table and etc.

I hear you OP, I know you are not whining nor demanding. You are just worried. Me too. Worried that phone lifespan will become shorter and shorter. Though it is an accepted, but still, who knows.

Just my 2cents.

Wasn't BB and Jamison only kanging TC's work? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
No Jamison had his own ROM that he made. Infamous. They were working in their own kangs from TC but they was collaborating together to bring it to us. As for BB I never seen any of his other work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
Not to put down anyone's efforts, but you realize Infamous is just a modified version of TDJ's modified stock ROM. And, though they did both provide builds of CM10, neither made any code changes or submitted (because they didn't fix anything) patches to CM. Therefore, they may have provided a needed service to the end-users, in the form of a flashable zip, they didn't really contribute to development, and as such, are not examples of this great Developer Exodus you seem concerned with.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Jamison did make his own modified TW ROM. It was no TDJ Kang. By the way, Jamison and TheTechNiq are back!! :D So much for the great "exodus" :rolleyes:

Seriously, why is there a necessity to act like this one did this or did that? This by no means was intended as a cry or an attention call. I been here for 2 months if that long. My point of the matter was to maybe get "INDIVIDUALS" like myself in a group to share ideas on how to do certain things for the benefit of this community forum. Being apps or mods or whatever we could create. Now its turned into this one ain't done this or this one did that. Makes no difference to me anymore, It was an idea to bring to peoples attention without clogging out threads with "]BUHUUU, this dot work or this is broke or I cant read the instructions!!!!![ Instead I posted far away from those thread to minimize the EGO "sit behind a pc" mentality of people and yet here they come and literally ***** about what I decide to post as my personal thoughts. All I will say have a great day all of you and thanks (for the few of you) for giving me the time to express myself without judging me :D

What is Jamison working on then? Did I miss a thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
You didn't miss anything Jamison took an hiatus from deving and now he's back...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I apologize if i came off a little harsh in my previous post.. and there was NO harshness or rash meant towards you, but to the author of the post i quoted.

I was just upset that they listed every flavor of android maybe missing a few(like froyo) and went on complaining that there wasnt enough ROMs to choose from.

And i dislike your thread, because the title is misconcieving, "So it begins to end" well no development isnt ending.. Its taking a slow down and i dont blame the developers for the slow down either. Look at the HTC HD2, its over 2 years old and still can run JB. But look how long it took to get stable and perfect releases done. I dont think that just because a few devs are "leaving" or going to another website renders our devices obsolete and absolutly no future development will take place.

i have created a handfull of programs in my past on both .NET and JAVA(Android) and coming from a developers pov i feel like threads like these are the reasons a lot of devs leave. I feel like everyone is *****ing and complaining about this that and the other thing and want EVERYTHING fixed by tomorrow. People need to realise that dev's have a life and xda and deving is not what they do 24/7. And you never know, if a dev does leave for personal issues/reasons, you never know if they will come back in a month once kinks and pesky bugs have been squashed out of base ROMs such as JB. I just dont think threads like these are necessary.. If you wanna help the xda communtiy, post a thread with a more meaningful title where people can come in and lay out their ideas for a new ROM or whatever and then you guys can help each other out in learning the ropes for a developing. But to open a thread complaining and stating developers who are leaving, i just dont see any respect in that.

This being said, im removing myself from this thread. I dont want to cause any flaming, or trouble for the mods.

Have a wonderful day guys, and dont stop flashing! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Point taken, but as you yourself see in a lot of general side of the forum there has been a few members already asking for the help. If you have the time check out what the replies where to those posts? I fully understand what you are directing to but on the same token a lot of member have no idea of where to even start. Not just here but I'm sure from the start of this site. If they ask for the guidance is either 2 reasons either too lazy or truly don't know how. Either way it is, wouldn't it be better to just help out more than instead sending everyone to google? My opening post ( being the author) was to get members to walk in and get involved and serve as an invitation to start something in the sense of creating , developing, or even modifying what we already have to make our that much better.

.... so by stating it as I did, I have gotten plenty of input on whats not gonna happen or what's gonna happen. Yes i also agree there's tons of ROMs for the S2 but how many ppl do you think wont gravitate to that newer software to make their now 6 month old device look better or be a form of better usage? Let's be totally honest? I know I do want the best there's to offer for my phone.

Heh its like taking the kids to gamestop and tell them if they behave they can get a new game that's been out for 4 months. All their friends talk about it and yet they cant play it... what do you think will happen then? I'll also add, this isnt about who left or who came back. This is to try and invite members of this forum to get their tanks filled up and try to learn how to do a lot of this stuff that these great guys are doing. So that way we have even more choices instead of the the same ones we all have used already.. I for one would love to have a different one with JB every day of the week. I'm of course exaggerating but wouldn't it be great?

Try the new Jedi Mind Trick rom its pretty amazing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I think he must of understood me when I was naming roms I did that to show how many options there were out there and to show the few in comparison we have. Its OK though I don't understand how this got to this point but I think your thread OP is a good one and valid. Also its in general which is a good place to discuss this.

Hope others understand and see it that way. Nice thread keep up the good work. Flame free and positive!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Flashed it already. I like variety for the most part hence why I i made a point of this thread. Just would love to see all sort of different set ups.. Hope that doesnt make me guilty of nothing but who doesnt.. Shoooot, we even figured out a way to kang SR forums stuff ..... Call it port or call it kang but thats why we are here... Its what makes it fun... Wish I had the knowledge to do it. If that was the case i would make em just for fun. Cant wait for that new CMW were you can make a zip of how you like your ROM and share with the community. Their gonna be like flies on poop lol!!!!

hello everyone

im a new to this kinda stuff

i have a desire hd with 2.3.5 android / Sense 3.0

i wanted to root the phone

so i downloaded the Advanced Ace hack kit

i search on the XDA but didnt find it

i search else where on google and downloaded it

so i backed up my data and started the KIT

so once started it promoted that it needs to downgrade the software for my android

and asked me (y/n)

answered yes

asked something about an RUU also answered with yes

so it started downloading the "PD98IMG-GB2.zip" 253 Mb

anyhow once completed it started the downgrading and the phone went to hboot

as it said it will read praise and when finished it will reboot and flash twice

it did reboot to the HBOOT menu

and here im stuck i waited 15 mins or so nothing changed noticed the the Vol (up\Down) doesnt work

also the power

wheni remove battery and re insert ==>(only Power button) i get stuck at the HTC logo..... nothing happens next

re remove the battery and re insert it ===> (power + Volume Dwn) got to the HBOOT menu and get stuck there also

at the Hboot menu it says

ACE PVT Sship S-ON RL

HBOOT-0.85.0024

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2

cMMC-boot

cant access the fastboot , recovery , factory reset , simlock , image crc

please if anyone can help

please i dont want to brick my phone if it isnt already bricked

please tell me there is hope:crying: thnx

Rerun the hack kit, it should work 90% of the time
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amd-1250:
how can i reconnect my phone with the computer to start the hack kit

is there a way???when i turn on my phone only power button pushed

also a usb cable pluged i my windows is connecting via usb

but nothin happen

the kit cant detect the device
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hartendief:
Calm down, your phone is not bricked as you're still able to enter HBoot, I sadly don't know how you fix this, but I'm sure It can be fixed.

Just wait till one of the senior members respond:cowboy:

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

I did a little search on the website and i found this link, (there are several other post relating to your problem)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386387&highlight=stuck+ace+kit

I found this part especially useful:

Basicly you use the ability of Hboot to recognise PD98IMG. zip, which would allow you to flash a standard HTC rom so you could have a new OS on your phone, than you would able to use the ACE kit again

Firstly, as long as you have a working bootloader, your phone isn't bricked and can be recovered.

Well it seems you are Radio S-Off (Ship S-Off), but you also need Eng S-Off to flash a recovery from the command line using fastboot.exe. I'm pretty sure danward's Android Flasher uses fastboot, so I'm not surprised it didn't work.

What to do next depends on whether you can get access to your sdcard from your PC. If you can - with a card reader in the PC, or another phone to put the card in and connect via USB - then go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003

Download the stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM from Section 1 and put it on the root of your SD card. Then put the card back in your DHD, and reboot into the bootloader.

It should recognise the PD98IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash it, press Volume Up to confirm. This will put the stock 1.32.405.6 HTC ROM on your phone - this is an early shipped HTC firmware and it's the easiest version to root.

Edit: Note this file and the RUU below are for a Desire HD, and I don't think they will work on an Inspire - see later in the thread for some links to Inspire files.

Once it's flashed, it will replace everything - ROM, Recovery, radio - with the stock versions so you'll need to use the hack kit again, but you should still have Radio S-Off. Also remove the PD98IMG.zip file from your SD card when done, otherwise each time you go into the bootloader it will ask if you want to flash it.

If for any reason you can't get the PD98IMG.zip onto your SD card, you could try running an RUU (Rom Update Utility), this is the official HTC firmware in an EXE file you run from your PC. Plug your phone in via the USB cable and run the RUU file. You can find them here:

http://xdaforums.com/show...3#post19101263

The 1.32 version isn't there, so I would go for the next oldest WWE version (WWE = world wide edition, i.e. not carrier-branded)

RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_ 26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe

If that runs, it will do the same as the PD98IMG.zip, i.e. put your phone back to stock HTC firmware, but once again you will retain Radio S-Off.

I don't know much about the Ace Hack Kit as I rooted my phone before it came out, but I'm pretty sure that it will root either of those two versions of the stock firmware just fine. Good luck!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurby1:
Put the PD98IMG from the aahk (the name must be PD98IMG not Pd98IMG.zip) on the root of your SD card (not in any folder)

Remove the battery wait 30 seconds>put the battery back in the phone hold volume down + power butten > you see a white screen wait for the question and chose yes (vol up I think)

Good luck (a trick for you. If you have a schipped phone with gingerbread don't use de eng-s off option in aahk)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
You are wrong....the ENG HBOOT in the Hack Kit is modified to work with all versions of Ace devices (DHD / Inspire) because is a pseudo ENG S-OFF. What u can not use is the tradicional ENG S-OFF nor a Froyo RUU in GB shipped devices...that is detailed in the manual and in the Hack Kit site....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amd-1250:
i have fixed it

first of all i want to thank you guys for helping me out ;)

it seems when ever i start the HBOOT it get stuck

after hundred times of trying

i did try to launch the HBOOT without the SD card

so no PD98IMG will be found to launch it

i entered and it was working (i can toggle between menus but im stuck here no rom to launch still)

and it seems when my mobile first start to praise the PD98IMG.zip when downgrading began

it rebooted and broke the installation (not sure though)

thought it could be some bad ver or something of the PD98IMG so

i tried downloading the PD98IMG.zip else where

from the link provided by you guys

didnt work

same thing

so i thought why not change the SD card and put the PD98IMG.zip and re launch the HBOOT

AND IT WORKED JUST FINE

started flashing >>praising >>>>perfect

but why didnt it work on the old SD card dont know

its the card that came with the mobile

anyhow my problem was resolved and thnx to all

im now on the Vortuous Rom Affinity

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultimo1337:
I dont know if it fixxed already, but i had the same problem, the problem is your sd card isn't been made a proper GOLDCARD.

If you remove the sd card, it will work, try hooking up the sdcard to a computer and use GOLDCARDTOOL and then try it again.

Then i should work.

If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.
