sir allready tried that solution but it only get stuck after 5% on the blue bar..,,then it doesnt continue at all..,
[HD2 General] ph03n!x:
If you are absolutely sure that the ROM you downloaded (and the radio it contains) are the right ones for your phone, then go to the boot loader and see what it says for SPL. If you do not find HSPL, flash HSPL 2.08 and then try the ROM.

Flashing aborting or getting stuck early on is an indicator of the flashing process bring stopped by SPL...

Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Samsamuel can tell you better but it sorta sounds like yet another stuck radio seeing as it is hanging at the 5% to the 8% area during flashing. I am not sure exactly when but hang in there and let Samsamuel post again he can give you your list of options better than I, hope you get it going again my friend.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

If it was a SPL issue then that means it is a CID or a MID issue and if it is that then the Rom would not even start to flash at all no matter if it is via RUU or SD card. If the CID or the MID is wrong it would through a error saying something like "CID mismatch" or "Model I'D mismatch" when trying to flash.
[HD2 General] miko30:
how can i check my radio version?? i cant boot my phone.,,when i open my phone it says software update failed please try again..,before i change my spl..the version that i got there is (spl 2.10) then i change it to (2.08) so i can try to reflash thru sdcard..btw i got the rom from the htc-tmobile website,.it something like 3.xx.xx.xx like that...i dont know where i can find a stock rom for my phone...please help..

HERE THE VESION IM TRYING TO UPDATE MY PHONE..I GET FROM TMOBILE WEBSITE version 3.14.531.1

anyone?? what if i try to use a diff radio like this radio LEO 2.15.50.14 ??
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I do not want to highjack this thread so after this post I will be contacting you via PM, or if you use G Talk you can hit me up on that. If you have a TMOUS HD2 I have the 3.14 stock RUU for theTMOUS HD2 on my computer and I can upload it for you if you want. But I think the ROM you have is the same as the one I have.As far as checking your radio version if you can not boot your device at least to the T-Mobile screen with the red text at the bottom left corner then you can no check your radio version.
[HD2 General] miko30:
do you have any facebook account sir,,maybe we can contact each other thru facebook..,yeah maybe that should work 3.14 ruu sir..,can you upload it on mediafire sir if its ok to you..and i cant go thru that t mobile screen with red text sir, when i open my phone it just stuck on black screen with a message "software update failed please try again.." and whats up with the vibrating?? my phone keeps vibrating..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea I'm with TMacgnolia, , sounds like a stuck radio (albeit it's sticking earlier in the process than expected, perhaps indicating the stuck spl variant.)

combined with the vibrating I'd be thinking hardware, so I'd be trying sd flashing using the freezer trick.
[HD2 General] miko30:
sir yeah we manage to install a custom rom but the problem now is i think its on the cpu..,is there any way to fix this hardware problem..,
[HD2 General] erickson:
I could use some help, having the problem described earlier. I can't get past the 4color boot loader screen, - for a fraction of a second it goes to the insalling screen then comes back to 4color with "Serial" in the white.

Here is what I have on my HD2: Android 2.3.5 Radio 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

Here is what I have tried to install through sd card: RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.13.531.1_Radio_15.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_Signed_LEO_Ship.zip (renamed .zip, was .exe) and T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1.zip (renamed .zip, was .exe)

I tried 3 different sd cards; (2) 2 gig cards (1) 4gig cards. I reformated several times before copying and renaming the nbh file.

What next? Thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
just to confirm, you rename the exe to zip, open the zip, extract Ruu_signed.nbh, rename that to leoimg.nbh, copy that t sd and reboot, correct?

also, please confirm that you do in fact have a tmous.

the brief flash usually means the file was renamed incorrectly, for example depending on the file extension settings, it has been known for a file to end up getting called leoimg.nbh.nbh

the fact that it flickers means it is detecting something, but finding a problem.
[HD2 General] erickson:
Thanks. That makes sense. I can't check for 6 or 7 hours until I get home for the day. I'm using W7, and have never really gotten how to view the real extension on a file, not like the good old DOS days. yes I have a tmous. After requesting the help, I tried the same card in my brother's HD2 that I need to restore as well, and got the same response, so it has to be the card/name not my HD2. I'll post back when I check it out. Thanks again.
[HD2 General] erickson:
I renamed the file, making sure there was only one .nbh extension. Still not working. I tried it with both tmos roms, I reformated the card, I tried it on both phones. Obviously, I have done something wrong with the file, but read and re-read the instructions and I can't find what it is.

Any ideas would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] poellemonster:
Hey Guys,

Can anyone Tell me wich is the Best MIUI GB Rom for the Galaxy Mini ?

There are so many in DEV section:

- MIUI X GB V2 prerelease (by team thunder)

- MIUI Gingerbread 2.4.20-RC2 + Extended Settings (by ahmadsafar)

- MIUI for Galaxy Mini (by stelios)

.....and many more

So, my question is: wich is the Best ! (smooth, stable, functional...)

thanks for every answer
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Winston O'Boogie:
I don't think 'best rom' threads are allowed to be honest. Everyone has a different opinion anyway, so try them all for yourself and see which one you like the best. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Venkatesh:
best miui gb rom for mini is ahmadsafar's miui 2.4...it is far best miui rom for us.....my opinion...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
As many of you guys here have seen, there are a bunch of intelligent folks on these forums. Many that have massive hours on their battery. I see screen shots with 17-21 hours average. And to make things short,I wanted to find some tips on how to reach these incredible hours. if you guys don't mind sharing the steps you use when flashing a brand new rom, also what battery you use, what zips you flash, what settings do you turn on or off. Just things like that. Im using the universe rom with the diet pill rc1.zip placebo. My battery is a slim 2500 galileo. I don't use 3g data so I turn it off in data usage, when I do need data I use my 4g. Im seeing around 10-14 hours on a very conservative day. I like my phone so I use it heavily. Also what governor and cpu settings do you use along with what app, (set cpu, antutu, no frills,etc.) any different kernels? Any links would also be greatly appreciated. I understand all phones react different to different things or scripts ect. Im just wanting to get a general idea of where im going wrong. I know my way around the root explorer and terminal emulator and odin/mobile odin, and setting permissions. Might not be enough but it's something to get started right? So like I said before any help is greatly appreciated. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
One ritual everyone should have is getting a new battery after a year :p. I mean personally I am used to taking care of lithium ion batteries so they last upwards of 3 years. But its likely most people don't keep their phone charged and allow the charge to drop to low levels frequently. I know some owners that got their phone at launch have already fried their batteries. Just hope no one wonders 6 months to a year from now why their battery life sucks.

I had 36 hours at 33% on my day off 3 days ago on a cm9 nightly, 2 hours of screen on time. Usually my day off times on any given rom is around 30 hours. I can pick up any one of your phones on any rom and kill the battery in 6 hours. Plain and simple this phone doesnt survive more than 6 hours of screen on and use unless your displaying a black image (no backlight on OLED, black = 0 to near 0 energy so just whatever the phone being wakelocked uses) and or use an extended battery :p I get 8 to 12 hours of frequent use out of my phone every day.

If your extended is worth a damn you will get more. Having trouble finding this battery. But if it fits in the stock case it is not 2500mah. Most of these cheap Chinese batteries are not worth crap and the first sign of an extended battery being junk is not needing a larger case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
Here is the battery im using, just got it on saturday. So im still letting it drain all the way down. One other thing when it dies,I charge it to 100% then calibrate it with the battery calibration app or what do you recommend? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=221047292497&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=69261834567

Here's a little something,I used pandora for like 30-45 minuets and play some online poker for about 30 min.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
one word.. "placebo"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
I have the diet pill installed. How would you recommend I install it, download to my pc then copy it to my phone and flash with agat? because I just downloaded directly on my phone and flashed with agat. And placebo forum has like 10 zips which one do I use? Would you mind sharing the zip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thebitguru:
@rudyrude432, How's that battery working out for you? Can you give some info on your usage and how long it lasts for you? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
Well it looks to be holding up well but I have only had it since sat. It looks promising but some people think it might be a piece of crap. But I bought it and now it's mine so let's see where it is once the kernel and rom settle. yesterday I got around 8 hours with 60% left

with little use and no data on, only when I needed it which was about 30 minutes. I usually use my tablet on the weekends so blah blah blah huh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
try black.. its universal im currently running it on mics with gear2 set in terminal emulator.. its 800mhz max and 25mhz minimum so more battery oriented but still runs smooth..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Stock size battery. There is no way that is 2500 mah. Most can tell you your lucky if that is even the stock 1800 and at the price of an oem Samsung i would hope it is.

Not sure why some take the risk. The chance of fire from an unstable cell is bad enough with oem sourced cells out of china. Trusting a 600 dollar phone my skin and pants to a random liion cell is not something id want to do. You get good ones and sometimes there comes a point where there are no other sources (older devices).

I wasn't going to say put it to the test. I would normally leave the battery guys to this one. But I noticed there is an app that measures drain like an amp hour meter should. I would say check out the app in this test thread for an evo - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176984

Wish I could find that link to the test of the popular extendeds for this phone. Almost none of them were near their rated capacity and were talking batteries that had casings with the potential to hold a cell with the rating. Not a stock size case in which I quote the popular phrase "Anything marked 2000 mah is a fake"

Cant find much on the cell for this phone but another evo thread on another forum came up with stuff like this:

As long as it works at stock capacity and as long as it doesnt pop. The price is right who cares. Not beating it up on those notes. Beating it up for its miraculous 2500 mah. Silver Zinc sure but not liion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
I understand where your coming from, that's fine and all,I mean even with the stock battery im getting the same or less amount of hours,idk what's up. I'll buy a new battery that is Samsung brand and test this phone out again. No worries, my main reason for this thread was to learn some tips and tricks that people do when they start with a fresh rom. That's all no more no less. But I do understand your argument with the actual battery itself. Thanks for the heads up again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
How do I bring it up in terminal emulator? I already flashed it, just need help bringing up. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
in the terminal... type in SU

then allow it super user permissions if a box pops up

then type Black

or type Black2

(caps sensitive... make sure its a capital 'B')

Black = more performance oriented

Black2 = geared towards battery savings

then check the log files for any errors: \system\etc\log

gear01.log is for Black

gear02.log is for Black2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
I really appreciate the quick responses, you guys are great, one more thing do I download with the pc or is it cool to use the phone browser and can I use agat recovery to flash it? Which I already did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shultz11588:
Might seem obvious, but have you tried juice defender? There is an option to turn off mobile data when the screen is off. Also disabling auto sync for Gmail has made a pretty big difference for me. Automatic brightness, and set the screen to stay on for 10 minutes (I find that I save battery this way because I read a lot, and constantly unlocking the screen causes more battery drain.) I'm on cm9 a6 and my battery lasts pretty much all day, much better than "stock" cm9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Those people hardly use their phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I like to download from the PC to be safe and then transfer it to the phone via USB. but for tweaks such as placebo, downloading from the phone should be okay. They are small file sizes so less of a chance for corrupt downloads

Agat recovery is perfectly fine to flash it with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
So flash placebo black, type su

then Black2 (battery saving). Check for errors and that's it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Right I'm confused now, having the batteries fully discharge is bad? I usually fully discharge and fully charge my battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
Aosp jb, flashed yesterday so it still hasn't settled all the way, 3.5 hours screen time... you don't know what you're talking about....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
....NO! Lithium Ion batteries will only last so many deep discharges before a severe loss of battery capacity. This isn't NiCad where your countering a memory effect.

Lithium Ion does not have a memory effect. Keeping it topped off has always been good practice. Eventually the electronic fuel guage will go a little off and one deep discharge will usually get it right. Your going to end up letting this happen on accident anyways so why schedule it?

Do a google search on taking care of lithium ion batteries if your new to the technology or was told by someone who used to own devices with NiCad batteries who knows nothing about the matter.

http://www.productiveorganizer.com/...ke-care-of-your-smartphones-li-ion-batteries/

http://gizmodo.com/5761317/how-to-take-care-of-your-li+ion-battery

Now one thing to not get confused is the do not constantly charge rule. If you are using the device which your are likely to do since it is a cell phone topping it off is okay. If your not going to use it again for a few days a week a month then if its at a moderate level then just leave it there. 40% has been the tried and true level to long term store li ion cells. You should charge them every 6 months at the latest. But 40% is also a good point to charge a device at, that 15% warning isn't a bad point to do it at either.

I am surprised how many people probably listened to their parents on the one thing they were wrong about :p

Unfortunately deep discharge can be hard to avoid with a smart phone anyways. I dont expect each of my batteries to be good after a year but since I have 2... I have an older Samsung with an extended battery and after 3 years it still holds a weeks stand by. Its now 4 years old and I used it last year on vacation when i lost my phone. My gaming laptop the battery gave it up after 3 years. I was a bad boy and in its last days I was draining it all the way down daily and it lost 50% of what it had left to give days prior. Had to shop for my desktop components some how :p On the couch watching TV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Made me think of something. You can revive a laptop battery for cheap if you know how to solder and wire. You can get kits online that have all the cells and little metal tabs and junk for like 10$. I did it once for a friend who had no money and was in high school with a laptop that would die as soon as it was taken off charge. Ten bucks and a about an hour if work and he had a brand new one. Anywho. As for our phone.

I can attest to what was just said. I have read many articles about li-ion batteries. Charging them as often as possible is a good idea. Deep cycling a battery is a good idea. If done every once in a while. Not a good thing to do often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
I have been corrected, that is some interesting information. Like i said i will buy me a new stock battery if this one starts to fail me. Thanks guys. So far so good on this Chinese battery. But if my pants do start on fire I'll make a you tube video of it lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Believe or not that has actually happened. It was with a laptop at a convention. Some company was showing their latest and greatest when the battery kinda exploded into flames. So while I know your joking( and that would be one hilarious YouTube video) be careful with those batteries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clide whit:
Reception does play a big roll, if your in a low reception area (where I work for instance), your phone will just suck battery when using it. Aside from turning off 3g, I find that there isn't much you can do in that aspect.

Sadly for me Verizon 1x data when using roam control seems to be a lot more reliable at my job than Sprint's 3g speed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Whats funny is I have seen a few videos and every time I talk about it I can never find any of the good ones. But then again none of the really good ones ever have any video. Kid at school whose PSP caught on fire and burned his leg. Girl had something in her room that caught stuff on fire, was it an ipod or a laptop i forget. All of these were stock batteries though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
This is true for me as well,3g saves me more battery than my 4g kind of weird idk why. On the other hand be on the look out for the video titled "dumbass tries to save battery life, but can't save his pants". Might be coming soon.lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Nah. Just don't drop the battery and you will decrease the odds of anything happening. Oh whats that you already dropped it on concrete? lol. If you have seen the more recent rules for airline travel they won't let you have loose lithium ion batteries in your luggage. Has to be in a device, original packing or some sort of storage container. They are more paranoid of fire than the average person should be.

WiMax is a battery sucker. I will throw this out there to be quoted. But for a given generation of data tech faster = worse power consumption. With each generation this goes down an order of magnitude. Just a guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
Last night i had changed up roms. I'm using the super galaxy 1.7, I've used it before but forgot to back it up so i forgot about it any who, do you guys think it would be a good idea to flash lets say placebo or diet pill over the ROM. I mean i know it has the kobridge tweaks already i just don't know if that would be wise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rudyrude432:
The battery is great! Now that I've had someone with it,i really get the hours that i need out of it and plus with the combination of the info i got from rain, this battery lasts me more than 24 hours. Which is all i needed anyway,i had Pandora running for about six hours straight yesterday and still had 70%. I could never have got that before.thanks again to rain for the information.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] cerebos:
Hello,

I can successfully download Nokia Drive, Transport, ... from the Marketplace, but not Nokia Music. All my region and language settings are set to English/UK like recommended in several blog and forum posts. But the Marketplace keeps on telling me that this app is not available for my device or region.

Did MS change the marketplace, so that it doesn't check the devices' region anymore? My Live-account unfortunately seems to be US-based (by default, it has no region set at all!) - is that the problem or is it related to WP7 running on the HD (although faking a Nokia device)?

Anyone got Nokia Music 3.1 from the Marketplace? If so, how? If not, where can I still get it? :angel:

Thanks!

I have been looking up things like OpenBTS... and i want to run something that's in the area of at least my room for experimentation..

Is there a way to use the Transceiver in the phone to broadcast a tiny Cellular network of your own? (GSM? CDMA?)

How hard is it to get for example, the galaxy s 3 to act as a cellular base station for other devices to connect (I'm guessing its a very small area)

Maybe there is a way to use OpenBTS on the S3 and use its radio..?

Thanks, I hope i don't sound too noobish :x
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] C_Adamanteus:
I've been toying around with the idea of modifying my phone to be capable of night time pictures/recording.

This is what I've done so far (yes, I'm aware my soldering job is a travesty against electronics, this was preliminary testing, I'm redoing it once I find out if possible to exchange the cameras):

Having been a lurker for several months (until now) I need to make some posts before I'm able to link my pictures.

This is the result of such:

[YOUTUBE]aGuC5sRMBK8[/YOUTUBE]

Possibilities(?):

Considering a hardware modification to get a less "purple" shade of night vision using a replacement camera meant for the EVO 3D, as when it's used with the IR LED "rack" it provides a better picture and a longer range in zero lighting. I have not researched whether the modification is possible.

Casing attachment as an external attachment with a small switch. No research has been put into making such, yet.

Your input is always accepted.
