So your saying i cant wipe everything and reinstall a nandroid??Unless i'm at home near a computer??If thats the case,then ill stick with my OG.
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Unless your using a kernel and recovery from source, its best to Odin to flash just so your safe. I have mixed feelings about Odin. But no don't have to flash a modem, most roms I see come with one.

Its not hard to flash, Odin does some of it for you. You just have to watch what your flashing, if your on a leaked recovery/kernel and you wipe data it factory reset then you can brick your phone. Its mainly going from ics to gb or a different ics. I know they just got a official ics ota a few months back which helps.
[EVO 4G General] AarSyl:
Don't get me wrong...Odin makes life very easy. I easily flashed a custom recovery with no preparations at all. However, I NEED a computer. That's my biggest issue. I know that there is a mobile Odin, but the Epic is my wife's phone, and mobile Odin doesn't help if the phone goes bonkers on her.

My wife has the E4GT. I rooted it a couple of weeks ago in about fifteen minutes time. However, you pretty much have to use Odin (or Mobile Odin, which is a paid app from the Play Store) for flashing, etc, and Odin, to me at least, is pretty foreign, having used nothing but HTC devices for nearly three years now. One thing I do like about Samsung is not having to deal with S-on or S-off. The SGS II is a nice phone with lots of potential, though. The screen is bigger and better than the OG, and it's running a 1.2 Ghz dual-core versus the OG's 1 Ghz single-core. The SGS II doesn't come with a SD card but the slot is there should you desire to use a SD card. The camera is also better, as well. Like everything else, though, it all boils down to personal preference.

Ok, so here's a question for everyone. I don't want to litter the forum with yet ANOTHER thread about your options.

I want to upgrade my phone, and I am deciding between an EVO LTE or SG3.

However, my funds are a bit tight...so should I settle for the SG2 or the Galaxy Nexus?

It's just like me I was about to buy the SG3 last month then suddenly I change my mind and I told my self I'm going to stick to my OG for awhile then here right now the SGN2 / N7100 was released which might be my next phone. But I will never leave my OG. It's like a part of my body!:D

sorry for the OT. Here's my answer though : Well if you have the money to get an SG2 well go for it the other people explain it why. :good:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdelazeez:
Hey friends,

My beloved HD2 (T8585, the international version, running ParanoidAndroid v2.15 Jellybean) had a hard fall yesterday, and the the LCD got cracked on the bottom right. I was left with a fully working touchscreen but no display. So I gave it to a local cell phone repairer to get the LCD+Digitizer/touchscreen replaced. After the LCD+digitizer were replaced, the display has gone complete weird. It looks like I'm dealing with a phone that has 256 colors only. All pictures, camera, apps, live wallpapers etc. are looking horrible now. Of course I did not take the phone back from the repairer and have asked him to fix the display, but I thought it worthwhile to ask the experts out here if they've seen anything like this issue before.

To give you an idea of how things are looking now, I have posted pictures (from the internet) that are in 256 colors only. This is exactly how everything on my phone is showing up after the replacement!

AND this is the best example. On the far right is how I expect a pic to look like, and on the extreme left is how it is looking on my fone now. (please note that all these are pics I got from the internet)

Can someone help me understand what could have gone wrong?

Also, after the replacement all the front keys (except the End-Call key) have stopped working. :confused: What's going on guys?...!

The volume buttons are not working too. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
If it is not the display itself, looks like the flex cables may not be connected properly to the motherboard- the keys not working strengthens this doubt, though front keys have a separate flex cable, while Vol keys are a part of the main flex. Are you sure this repair guy is capable?

Swyped from HTC HD2 using xda premium
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdelazeez:
Thanks for your response ph03n!x. Yes, I am seriously doubting this guy's abilities now. Took the phone back from him after replacing the new LCD+digitizer with my broken LCD+Digitizer. The front keys are still not working... only the end-call key is working. BUT the key backlights are not lighting up at all.

I think you may be right about the Flex cable.

The vol keys seem to have a different issue all-together because yesterday (when he first replaced the LCD+Digitizer) I couldnt even 'feel' the key click when I pressed it. Today he claims to have 'repaired' it and the vol up key feels good when I press it but the vol down key has become very hard. Nevertheless, I cannot test anything until the display issue is fixed. :(

You got any good references in Pune?

P.S. HTC service center had quoted me a bill of INR 8800/- (approx 160US$) while this guy was doing it for INR 3600/- (approx 65USD).

I am getting my refund from this guy tomorrow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdelazeez:
Very rarely comes a query that does not find many answers on this forum. Could this be one such? Only time will tell.

Anyways, I have emailed HTC India customer care asking for the price of a LCD+Digitizer, and I have found this online: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+HTC+HD2+PB81120+Screen/5651/1

If there's anybody who has any/better information to share, please feel to share it at this junction.

Edit: Hit a dead end at HTC Customer Care. Received this email response from them:

Ebay has some expensive stuff, plus I cant be sure what they're selling will work on my phone.

What if it turns out to be incompatible like the one I got from this local phone repairer?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bernida:
Hello,

If you consider yourself experienced enough to open up your phone by yourself, you could actually open it up and look if the LCD flex connector aswell as the Touchflex-Button-connector are connected properly and investigate the status of the volume buttons. This will only require minimal opening of the phone itself....

But please only do it if you think you can do it. If you never opened up electronics before, DONT do it, there are a lot of "traps" to fall in while opening the phone which could cause damage.

In my opinion, the best tutorial is this one. Unfortunately for you, its in German, but I think the pictures should speak for themselves.

http://mperlitsch.hintergrundbild.com/htc_hd2.htm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9qFi3MKnFY

You can buy LCD and touchscreen (digitizer) on ebay. There are actually 2 versions, one version, the touchscreen connector is soldered to the lcd display (old), the other version, the touchscreen is connected via a flex cable connector (new and better)

make sure to buy a version which is the same on your phone (if you want to buy LCD and Touch as a bundle, use the connector variant)

You can determine the version you have by going into the bootloader (press and hold volume down and power button), if there is 0x30 you have soldered LCD/Touchscreen, 0x40 or 0x50 is the connector variant

But again, if you dont feel like you can do this and only have little experience in electronics, dont do it. Let someone repair it.

Best regards

HTC HD2 256 colors problem - motherboard issue

Hi all. Looks like problem is more complicated. I am working on it for longer time.

I am IT Laptop / Server / PC professional (hardware refurbishment) - mobile phones as a hobby.

I think that your tech guy could do his job properly - I mean labour, like connecting ribbon cable, etc., but..

1st my story: I have got two HTC HD2's. One day digitizer has stopped working on one of them.

(Found that it is a factory fault - every time when you press power button, you crush ribbon cable from digitizer under it actually)

Anyway decided to replace a whole screen with digitizer who bought on ebay. Screen and digitizer was separetly so had to solder them together. After fitting a new screen digitizer works (touch screen), but screen shows 256 colors only! I was checking everything again - like: connections, sockets, ribbon cables. Nothing helps! Decided to try old screen and even a screen from 2nd phone - no success - the same 256 colors only!

Last test was to check new screen (with digitizer soldered by me) in 2nd, good phone - and works fine!

Conclusion: Motherboard in 1st phone is faulty!

Question: Why? New screen/digitizer has damaged the motherboard? If yes - why works on 2nd phone?

Shall I use ESD strap? (never happend to me so far) and again - why works on second phone?

Problem with solder balls due to extra stress during work?

Or maybe I've missed something?

I would be thankful for any professional advice - please write if you really know or at least opened this phone before (no guessing)

I would like to add that I've flashed phone with stock software and no success as well - still 256 colors :/

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
Not really. I am from Madras, and know a guy here - but even then, when it came to opening up my phone (when it went weird after gathering some moisture inside - another day in the beach!), I decided to do it myself. I followed the instructions from the official HD2 assembly/ disassembly video from here: http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked

Long story short - my phone is not perfect yet. I had to change the keypad for the front keys twice, still they are a bit 'soft', and dont give a solid click - sometime they go all weird, one key will activate the other. And the vol-up is not working, I will have to change the main flex to fix that.

That said, it is pretty straight forward to get your hands on - especially if you have ever opened an electronic item before and have the tools.

I have two HD2, one is whacky (see my reply above) and the other is pristine. I have opened both, and without ESD strap.

Why dont you find the panel manufacturer of this new panel:

dmesg | grep "Board id"

and see if this color issue is because of difference is manufacturers for the LCD you have gotten newly? We know that HD2 panels comes Acer (AUO) or Sharp - is the after-market panel from either of them, or is there a 'new guy' out there...?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] abdelazeez:
Guys,

I think my case is kinda different from what both of you described. I took my phone back from this repairer, and gave it to another guy. Surprisingly when he changed the LCD+Digitizer, the colors looked PERFECT! However the digitizer wasnt functioning properly so unfortunately I couldn't get my fone back. Gonna get it back tomorrow.

And on another note, the first repairer damaged the front buttons' panel. I had to replace that as well :(

Let me revert back with my findings if God-willing all turns out well by this time tomorrow :)

Hello everybody,

sorry if this is not the right place for this, but since I have under 10 posts & that I can't post new threads where this topic should go...well I'll put it here, and feel free to move it if needed.

After having used an HTC Desire for a while + an eepad transformer, and enjoying the various communities around android, I thought I would buy a Energy Sistem Android Smart Tv Box and it came two hours ago "not rooted".

After a quick search all over the web, I finally found something that worked to unroot the box !! :D

I am really sorry but I can't find the original thread that linked to that file. Anyway, here you go:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/y6weis

*not uploaded by me...

I do not take any credit for this, this script is from

Android ICS Root Unlocker 1.0 [GreekDev]

and it as simple as running a batch file !! AND IT WORKS !

Instructions:

1- Find the IP the box is running on (ex: 192.168.1.104)

2- open a command prompt and go to the folder where you unzipped "ICS Root Unlocker 1.0" (ex: cd c:\ICS Root Unlocker 1.0 for example)

3- Once in the folder, try a:

files\adb connect 192.168.1.104:5555

if it says connected then you're fine to continue

4- just run the "ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat" batch file from this same folder and you should be okay.

Enjoy, I hope it will help others...

and now, let's see what we can do with this ;)
