Like I said, you don't know who the owner is, how that they came to be parted from their property, or how it come into the OP's possession. So how can you possibly claim to know their circumstances or that if they wanted the phone back they would have called. The only indisputable facts we do know are that:

1) no matter how you try to twist it, the phone does not belong to Anthony2oo5,

2) he has deliberately and persistently avoided taking the most basic (never mind reasonable) steps to to identify, or return it to, it's rightful owner.

3) he has every intention of keeping it even though he knows he has no legal title to do so.

Dress it up how you like, but if that's not immoral, I don't know what is.
[G1 General] the3dman:
I have to say I agree. Especially in these hard times in the world. Just not cool to keep it. Get it back to the owner, people work hard for the stuff they have.
[G1 General] the3dman:
Maybe he was in a hurry because a family member was hospitalized or something forgot his phone and has not had time to notice or worry about it yet. There are dozens of situations that could have taken place, you never know.
[G1 General] JanetPanic:
I concur. The OP never really asked "hey do you think it is all right if i kept it?" which is what most of us are answering. In reality he asked "That said, they will more than likely call and block this phone, if they do, is there any way I can get it working again?" This leaves me unsettled. Why on earth would a user who did not call his own phone to find it call his provider and get the phone blocked? So it boils down to the OP asking if there is a way to use this effectively stolen phone by getting around an IMEI block. The answer to that question is you really can't in a country where IMEI blocking is available (most of Europe, but not the U.S.).

[HTC Vox] timetrax23:
Probably because of being jealous of my new iPhone my old HTC VOX committed suicide 3 days ago:

It ran out of juice from the battery did his *Pling* cry for help and died.

Normally recharging the battery had done the job but this time turing it on only the tricolor bootloader menu appeared, displaying:

(Model is VOX0101)

So first i tried several times on/off-switching, complete recharge, having the SIM/SD Card removed, continuing with trying to perform an Hard-Reset, which i gave up after the 200th time in which no screen turned up, asking me to confirm anything, - just the bootloader in his red, green, blue glowiness.

Of course my warrenty is over (unless the registration of my S/N at HTC membership counts as an warrenty date?)...

Well - so i continued my journey, which ended up in this beautiful forum of help and ideas about what i could do next.

The obvious choice was to perform a flash-update. So i downloaded the ROM-Update from HTC-support (entering my Serial-No) - which i think of being the "original shipped" version.

=> it ran through all the way very smoothly but in the end, when there is the "Congratulation"-message and it says that the update is complete - my VOX rebooted and *surprise*: just the bootloader screen - AGAIN!

dammit...

ok - hooked it up to the USB Port - started mtty - *great* - i got a connection .. *happily dancing* ... i typed the Password, "ruurun 0", Device Restart - and had great expectations ...

but you guess it ...

again the boot loader ! *arg*

ok ... i tried to flash another ROM ... (by the way: i fell in love with frauhottelman's Custom ROMs on this journey!) - BUT:

Frensh ROMs, Russian ROMs, Custom ROMs ... -> nothing works because of:

g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF !

... unfortunately i cannot unlock my Phone because the "unlock application" does not get a connection to my VOX - cause active sync won't recognize it!

... -> i also found other commands - which seem only to work on an Apache - not on my VOX

...

i noticed that when i had my microSD-Card inserted, that it displayed the message:

"searching for SD card"

so i researched a bit more - and placed the ROM from the SPL thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330909) onto a the freshly FAT32 formatted card - named "vox0img.nbh"

=> again Reboot - but NO result !!!!! *grrrr**

>>

So please Wizards and wise men of this Land of Knowledge:

Help me to raise my VOX from the dead, crack it and run the smooth blessing of custom firmware !

any suggestions?
[HTC Vox] timetrax23:
hmm.. no help ? no ideas ?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Bad luck - seems like a HW problem. Flashing the original SW succesfully should have done the job. You may wish to search for the disassembly instructions (some service manuals floating around the web) and play around with that - just to make SURE all cables are still properly attached. There are only 3 of them, so not much to check:

1.) Main cable connecting the upper and lower part of the device

2.) Display cable from the LCD to the upper board

3.) Numeric Keyboard cable from the keyboard PBA to the upper board

I really doubt the cables are to blame here, but by disassembling you could add a cleaning session as well - maybe your Vox will be feeling better then. Good luck!
[HTC Vox] timetrax23:
hi tobbbie,

thanks for the help.

i completly disassembled and reassembled my VOX (S710)

-> Tip: You should start to open the body at the top near the on/off switch, not like the manual says to on the left...

well,

all cables were / and still are properly attached now - the device is nice and clean - but still just the bootloader ... this suxXX :(
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Well, depending on the tools used (I used an old plastic card) the left side is the best option to open the housing. At top/bottom the clips have the nearest distance to each other and thus these two are the hardest places to get it open - regarding my experience.

Try to find a broken device in ebay (cracked screen or so) and replace the parts - this should revive it definitely. Or sell it for screen replacement there. I had a device where the screen was replaced by a cheap ebay-seller replacement LCD and the max. brightness was only as much as the low-level of the normal LCD.
[HTC Vox] timetrax23:
The phenomenon continues !!!

After being frustrated for a day - and betting on broken devices on ebay as tobbbie suggested - i thought: just give it a shot - turned it on - and TADA ! HTC-Logo / Provider-Logo ... it booted up !

wh000000t ! i was shocked...

So the thing is: everytime i wait about 5 hours - the device is booting up -

BUT

- as soon as i restarts / press power off => soft-reset it ... BAM ! ... just the boot loader again.

...

so the question is:

what changes within the device after it has been "off" (battery inside) for about 5 hours ???
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
I think the backup battery maybe the problem. This is tiny rechargeable Lithium battery to backup the clock when the battery is off the device. In the VOX it is located on the small PBA where the earpiece is mounted on the upper part of the device. These things get rotten after some time (usually harmless - just a delayed or reset clock) but it may be worse, i.e. preventing a boot when it short-cut internally or at 0 V.

I did some investigations on these rechargeables for my other devices (Amadeus, Hurrican and Tornado) - and you can hardly get them anywhere. Finally I succeeded and all my old devices have a new backup battery now. The one I could put in them is however a little too big for the VOX imho (did not try), see my post on that here.

As a start, measure the voltage of this battery and unsolder it. It should work afterwards, I hope.
[HTC Vox] timetrax23:
hmm... this could be the problem ... i'll give it a try ...
[Touch Cruise 2 General] odin_g:
Hello,

I've a problem with the Comm Manager. The problem is that i can't enable or disable the WLAN feature, it appears on "gray" color, so i can't select it. It seems like it that option was not available.

At least I can enable/disable the WIFI from the System -> Settings , wireless LAN configuration, but i would like to enable/disable it from the Comm Manager, like i have done before.

I tried to uninstall all applications since the last time it worked, but ... no results.

If someone has a idea about what i should do to repair this, please help me.

Here is a image with my problem.

As you can see, the WLAN option can not be selected.

Thanks and excuse my bad English.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Dair:
Are these pictures from you or is it just an example? As these screenshots show activesync connection which will automatically disable wi-fi so what we can see there is perfectly allright...
[Touch Cruise 2 General] odin_g:
The pictures are an example, but are just the same i see on my device screen.

So I don't understand, if ActiveSync is running I can't enable WLAN from the Comm Manager window, but i can enable it from the Wireless LAN Settings window. Is that right??

Thank you.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] torrentonly:
You can enable it, but it will immediately switch off. This is how it works on my device. If you want to use it, you must enable it on computer in AS/WMDC. But I don't see any advantage of it, because you already have internet via AS from computer.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] odin_g:
Thank you both,

I will start to reinstall all the uninstalled programs.

EDIT:

Ok, I'm an idiot :] I forgot to use DiamonCustomRUU.

Anyway...why this optimized XIP doesn't work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
Did you relocated your modules based on THIS XiP?

It's the exact same XiP I use for my ROM, so it must be something you're doing wrong.

Apart from that, in bootloader mode your computer will only recognize the diamond as a MSM flash device. duh.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] japher:
Hi Guys,

Does the Touch Pro2 have a glass screen like (I think) the iPhone has? Or does it have the usual soft plastic digitizer like my TyTN 2?

I've always found the TyTN 2 touch accuracy to be truly awful (dialing any number usually takes a few attempts, and I don't have big fingers!). I was hoping for a better hardware solution to this. If the Pro2 does still have the plastic screen, does it actually work this time around? :)

Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Yeah, it does have the plastic screen as it is a resistive screen. Sure it is better than the TyTN 2, it has bigger screen and the buttons for the dialing are much better now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] galaxys:
It will leave the TyTN 2 in the dust :eek:

But, U should test it for yourself 'hands on' when available...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Teej53214:
Hi Everyone...

I did something to my phone and now I am looking to reflash it. I loved how I had my phone, but thought maybe a newer rom would help me out... I had the stock 6.0 installed. I used it primarly with TomTom.. I have the HTC Home installed and love it, but if touch flo is cool I would consider that as well.. I also love all the S2U, S2P, etc and other applications that made it very finger friendly, I like to be able to see what I have scheduled at a glance.. I do a lot of TXT messaging... I also like to play games on it (I use the nintendo enulator a lot) I have a 16gb microSD card so I have plentry of room if it need to install on the card as well (I had a Motorola MPX200 that I had to do that with). I also use Voice Command often. I would like instant messaging to be a breeze.

My Cellphone Service Provider is not AT&T (Einstein Wireless) and I would need to be able to put all the settings for them for internet and otehr network setting into it... so I need no AT&T bloatware or special software... I do take some pictures with my phone from time to time... so if there was a "Better" camera program that would be cool too...

I am hoping that there is a rom that has most of all of these features cooked in so setup will be a time saver... I know I will still ahve to manually enter the carrier info, but the extra software and stuff would be great.. If you are using a rom that does most of this and you love, let me know.. I am looking ot do this tomorrow..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] biscuits1978:
Before this gets closed by the mods, our general suggestion is to try the different cooked ROMs available. The threads for each should show a list of applications included with the ROMs, so you can determine from the included apps if it is a ROM you are willing to try. If you have never flashed a cooked ROM, please check out the Wiki for instructions to prepare your phone for flashing cooked ROMs. It will save you a lot of headache.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
You'd be better to try a few of the cooked ROMs and see what you like. The ROM's on the first two pages are the most popular ones at the moment. See what they contain from the firs few pages.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...

The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..

The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..

Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...

Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...

Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..

Thanks Phil-w
[Touch 3G General] jmrenshaw:
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed!

Hello

I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.

It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!

I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.

How straight forward is this process?

Any help is very much appreciated.
[Touch 3G General] ziadmannan:
It was a long process but worth it!

Hi there,

I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.

Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.

I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.
