I too am on Energy Rom Feb26, how do you get that mode up?

I'm trying to fix the messaging tab at the moment, since I hate that it uses MS messaging from "All Messages", the new message icon and the menu options but HTC messaging from everywhere else. At the moment I'm try to get it to use HTC messaging since the contact lookup as you type appears to be better.

It looks like that is a MS messaging feature, threaded messaging, I can't get it up on mine at all.

You can customise it using the following:

http://www.reinout.info/xda/

Looking at my current style sheets it is in my rom, but it's not using it (hence my MS messaging looks shockingly wm5)

Ahh, this message tab is annoying me, read 101 ways to disable HTC messaging but NOT how to get HTC to link correctly from the message tab.

As for disabling HTC and putting MS messaging, try searching for "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2"

Long story short my phone worked fine for months. Went to a 1.56 Rom active sync stopped working. I have already tried everything associated with AS problem, everything. Went to get it repaired at HTC America in Houston, TX there gay and dont support T8285. I have tried flashing via memory card but I seem to be retarded doing it that way. Engineer said mini usb slot works fine, cooked rom may have corrupted AS. Customer service would not let him fix my phone because it was an "aussie version". I just want the phone to sync is that too much to ask? Anyway $100 bucks to anyone that can make it work paid via paypal immediately.

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Personally I think your mad offering $100. I'm sure most people would have hepled you for free, including myself. I'm not after your money but offer my assistance.

Have you tried doing a hard reset? uninstalling activesync & reinstalling it?

Flashing different rom. If you can't flash through SD Card, have you tried flashing again via usb. You don't need phone sync'd

Put your phone into bootloader and then connect to pc via usb. At bottom of screen the text should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Now flash phone by running rom (cooked or stock etc) you downloaded. Put .nbh and ruu file into same folder and then open ruu file and follow instructions.

I severely doubt cooked rom affected activesync.

EDIT

As bonesy said below, you'll need either USPL or HSPL to flash 1.56+ based rom.

Full tutorial or dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ based roms can be found in cRaCKwHoRe's guide. See my signature
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
Turn off your phone, Take out your memory card, Plug the miniUSB in then power on (Hold volume down press power holding volume down still) This will bring up a coloured screen. Run the ROM Wrapper package exe (BlackstoneRUUWrapper) This SHOULD now install the right ROM.

Please make sure you are using a 1.56 rom with the HSPL or i think it has problems with GFX.

When windows loads go to start>settings>connections>USBtoPC

this is on 6.5 rom not sure about 6.1 :/

Untick Enable faster data synchronizaion, I had to do all this on works computer to update a ROM god knows why but this was my fix.

ROM Should load as should activesync now.

Please let me know if this helps

Tried to post in ure original threads but mods were moving to trash each time BAH!
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Thanks to both of you guys for your suggestions. I thought I was not a noob when it came to flashing roms but once I could not do it via usb I was a whole different story. Yeah I am offering the $100 just to get people to help. I know you get slammed if you ask a question so I figured I would make it worth someone's time. I am going right now to pick it up from the repair center so I will try during my lunch in about an hour.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling active sync. Different cables, different computers, xp and vista, everything, checked usb enhanced, etc ,etc.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Thanks for breaking it down barney style for me. I will try this very soon. If it works my friend you got $100 smackers.
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
no worries, Glad to help (if it does lol)
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
So I got my phone and this is what it says.

BLAC120 32M

SPL-1.56.01Olinex

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

and it's just red green blue and white no word on the bottom. Ran BlackstoneRUUWrapper with the nbh file that I wanted and it gave me a connection error. Now it says Seiral in the white.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Well I get it into bootloader no problem but then plug in the usb cable and nada, it says serial. So then I tried starting bootloader mode with the cabe and still nada, it does not even say serial. If I unplug it then it says serial. I have tried both ways to run the RUU Wrapper and I keep getting the usb conncetion error:(
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
serial?

Hi, please can you post a screen shot of where it says serial at boot screen?
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
I cant because I cant use my software that would do that since it wont sync to my computer.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
snap shot

just take a snap shot with a webcam or digital camera if you have one.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
let me see if this comes thru ok.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Here yo go. This picture is with me having the device plugged in it charging fine. Then entering bootloader mode. If I unplug then it will say serial. If I dont plug in before then enter bootloader it will say serial still.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
thanks

ok, that looks pretty normal,so to recap you fully powerdown the phone by taking the battery out, put the cable into both the phone and pc and the turn on holding volume down and it just sits there?, what happens when you press volume up at this point?
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Only thing I was not doing was taking out the battery. Just tried that and still same screen. Nothing happens when I press the volume up button just stays there.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
pc

do you have another pc to try this on to rule out an actual active sync problem?
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Yeah I have been trying on my latop, home pc, and work pc and nothing same result. I have tried different usb cables, os, reinstalling, everything. Only thing I have not tried is flashing via sd card yet.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
brick

its sounds like you have a corrupt spl, it is definately worth trying the sd card as it may allow you to activesync but it may then fallover when it reboots and goes into boot mode. This i where user viperbjk (see android dev thread) may be able to help as he has successfully managed to unbrick a phone.

I had this same problem but powering down and simply triggering the and spl reflash resolved it. your problem sounds different though.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Do you know of a thread that details you exact steps on the sd method? I have read and most are not very detailed just say to format card and rename nbh file and place in card then what?
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
then you'd normally want to put the phone in bootloader mode, and it should find the file, but since your phone is already starting in bootloader mode, it should boot to it automatically...

I think prior to trying that you should hard reset a couple times, i haven't seen clearly if you've done that or not yet.

Take out the battery, disconnect from usb, and then put back in the battery, press the volume up & down buttons simultaneously with the power button. Then power up button to clear the phone.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Just finished a hard reset and still nothing. So I should only have the nbh file on my card right? What should I rename the nbh file? I know it's blackimg or something like that?
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
Try another lead, Do you by any chance have a playstation3? The controller charger lead will fit your phone fine. Other than that unplug a few usb devices on your pc a usb wont work well if something else is using most of the power
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
the name should be blacimg.nbh

taken from post #2 of dutty's rom thread
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
I do have a ps3 I will try that when I get home.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
I will try via the card when I get home since I dont have a cardreader here with me.
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
:)

good luck with that, it must be a real bummer. If nothing works then do try contacting the user I told you about.

Note this is not a cabling issue, you can put that to bed I would say (opinion only)
[Touch HD General] Chainfire:
1. Get an official HTC T8285 ROM

2. This is an exe, use WinRAR or whatever to get the nbh out of it

3. Rename this nbh to BLACIMG.NBH

4. Put BLACIMG.NBH in the root \ of your SD card

5. Turn off your device

6. Insert SD card

7. Power on and go into bootloader mode

8. Device should start flashing the official ROM now

May work. Keep the cash if it does (or donate to LTXDA as in my sig).

If all else fails, there may be another way hmm..
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Yeah it cant be a cable issue I agree.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I will try them this evening. I will donate regardless if it works or not. Thanks again. Hope this works.
[Touch HD General] DRTigerlilly:
have you tried this yet?

From this thread (at the very bottom of the first post)
[Touch HD General] buzz83:
A similar method to this worked on my Xperia last night

I had an almost identical problem on my X1 last night. Here's what I had to do:

Format MicroSD card using PC as FAT32

Download a generic rom for your device

Run the .exe and find the .image file

rename the .image file to Blacimg.nbh (kovsimg.nbh on xperia)

Put Blacimg.nbh in the root directory of your storage card

put msd card back in phone

Get your phone into boot loader mode (Hold Power+Volume Down??)

Flash the generic rom by pressing the power button when prompted.

after it is finished reset your phone and it should now work

You will probably need to hardspl your phone again to continue flashing roms.

This worked for me. I tried nearly everything else before I found a link somewhere on here that saved my phone.

Goodluck.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Dam it nothing just says loading and nothing. I formatted the card dropped the blacimg.nbh file and nothing. **** this **** I'm selling this piece of crap. Thanks for all the suggestions. I have tried everything now that **** says Upgrade rom code error. Then it hangs on Loading. . .
[Touch HD General] buzz83:
Is there a HTC program like the Sony Ericsson Update Service to update official roms?

I cleared the error message on the screen by attempting to use SEUS while my xperia had the boot loader screen up. Then when I reset my phone I got the bootloader without the error and was able to flash a generic rom via micro SD.

Don't give up on it yet. Just go through each of the steps slowly a few times. It might be worth hard reseting your phone too.
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
This is probably not a help but I had sync probs phone not being seen I ran this on my vista pc and it fixed my prob

hope it helps

sorry I cant seem to upload it you want me to email it to you?
[Touch HD General] Elcs:
I had a similar problem but I am unsure of how I fixed it. It was a rather crazy day.

When I first got my phone, I flashed to Olinex 1.14 SPL and used a generic up-to-date ROM to de-brand it. When the 1.56 ROM was released I automatically flashed the update and had the green screen/slow response problems.

During the process of trying to fix it, the Phone wouldn't properly connect with my Vista PC. At first it would just beep to say it was connected but do nothing else. Eventually, it made Vista beep as it was inserted like any other USB device and after maybe 10 seconds, it would lose connection to the PC. In this time, I had to be quick enough to initiate the flash sequence to restore Stock ROM and Stock SPL.

Some notable suggestions that may have been missed in this thread:

1) Under Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC, untick the box "Enable faster data synchronisation" and tick the box "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC"

2) Remove the "Pairing" between PC and Phone from the ActiveSync menu on your PC

3) Go to Programs -> ActiveSync on your phone. Go to Menu -> Options and delete the pairing here.

4) Uninstall ActiveSync from your PC. Reboot the PC and the phone.

5) Attempt to reconnect the phone to the PC. Hopefully this should work and if it does, you can go into the Bootloader (Stripy screen) and hopefully it will pop up with USB :)

If you only get a connection for a short amount of time, then I suggest you get your ROM unpacked and ready to install as close as allowed, connect up your phone and as soon as you get the USB on the Bootloader menu, click the buttons on your PC and make sure you accept anything that appears on the phone quickly. Took me two attempts as I missed the confirmation on my phone to flash.

If this doesnt work, I would suggest removing the pairings and ActiveSync + rebooting then visiting your Device Manager on the PC and removing the drivers for the phone. You'd probably need the phone to be plugged in to see these.

It is a wonderfully tricky thing to fix and over the course of about 4 hours, I flashed my phone multiple times, reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Manager (Vista's ActiveSync equivilent) numerous times and nearly lost my hair.

I really hope you manage to get this fixed. It is a wonderful phone once its all set up :)
[Touch HD General] :
Hi turcomora you already know well the steps to flash SPL/ROM from USB and card, so I won't repeat.

A few things worth considering...

Not all cards allow you to flash. (there are several threads on this).

Get hold of a Sandisk microsd format it to fat32 and put Blacimg.nbh on it and put it in the phone.

Flash it by entering the boot loader. U can borrow a card from some one. This way U can now bypass the usb error with new SPL and ROM.

If you are going to give USB another try then:

It is possible that firewall/antivirus interfering with USB communication - this happens with me, so disable all antivirus firewall and such. Also check for any USB softwares used like a USB modem driver or USB-Serial converter, Bar code or other reader etc. Sometimes it so happens all the PCs one owns have them..

Good Luck.
[Touch HD General] sutt359:
Whoops might help if i had read the post above

This might sound a stupid question

But are you using the microsd card that came with the HD (Transcend 8gb)

If you are there are there was a problem flashing from sd with these.

Cheers

Kev
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Hey guys thanks for everyones help. I was able to get the sucker back to Telstra rom. I am so exhausted but have come to the conclusion this phone may be to adavanced for me or I just should not play with stuff I dont know about. I think lesson learned I am selling this touch hd. If anyone wants to make me an offer check for it in the marketplace. I still cant figure out the stupid active syn. I dont want a phone that need to sync via bluetooth. I'm not checking cables, computers all that crap again. Plus 3G area is good only at my work not at my home yet. Anyway thanks for everyones help.
[Touch HD General] Chainfire:
Mind sharing what eventually fixed your problem? This could be useful for other people having the same problem in the future.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
Crackwhore actually helped me via remote desktop alot. Only thing I did is drop nbh file in storage card and run from bootloader. Wish I had more details.
[Touch HD General] nerk2009:
suppose you got the right steps to unlock the phone and upgrade the hardSPL to 1.56, I can say it should be a hardware issue, something wrong with serial/USB pins but you can still get others work and charge your battery... best solution is sending it back to bed, asking HTC engineers to investigate this:)
[Touch HD General] :
nerk2009, turcomora already mentioned that he can't practically do this in his very first post.

Anyways glad to hear that you got your HD back to normal :)

I deleted the AT&T bloatware, but added back Cellular Video. I also installed the HTC streaming media cab. The streaming media works fine with You Tube. But the CV is defaulted to open Real Player and real player just errors out when I try to play a file. I tried loading the TCPMP also, but it just kept crashing also. Any suggestions?:confused:

Hi all, i'm running EnergyROM 3.0 with WiFi off and 3g off, and my battery consumption is about -230 - -250 mAh most of the time. Is this normal?
[G1 General] xile6:
:confused:

i checked atrackDog this morning and its says that the default map app has an update.

3.1 I believe has anyone else seen this or know what this is all about?

**after waking up the info is as followed:

JF 1.5 adp1

aTrackDog 2.40 (2.50 doesnt show system apps)

Maps Installed 3.0.1 New 3.1.0

Old size 3137 New 1.9mb

Market search comes up with nothing
[G1 General] bbbblack:
Are you sure it wasnt MY Maps Editor? Because i believe the google apps are only updated through OTA updates... if not that must be a glitch of some sort
[G1 General] xile6:
Yea never installed my map edtior but it could or been a glitch cuz its 3.0.1 and 3.1.0 but I was thinking maybe its from another build .
[G1 General] bronxknight28:
ok so at least I wasn't the only one that see's that when I searched with aTrackdog, its funny how a stock app has an update.....maybe it is a glitch of somekind, and I'm pretty sure its the stock maps app

Screenshot : http://picasaweb.google.com/m/viewe...ght28/5337966037861647569/5337967798392863058
[G1 General] bbbblack:
Did you guys select update to see what happens? Before you update go to your current maps and see if you have lattitude, then check the about section and check what version you have. Then hit update and check the about section again. Also when you hit update, does it take you to the android market with description and comments?
[G1 General] bronxknight28:
it does take u to the market, but it doesn't find the adress because maps is not in the market. and everything is up to date witth mine when I check the maps app
[G1 General] neoobs:
I have an update for it aswell... wonder if this is a home built version from someone
[G1 General] CBowley:
This is what happens. Atrack dog scans all users system to see if there's an update. If a user (with a hero rom or something) has a newer version of something that you have (maps) it will show as an update.

Conclusion, someone that uses atrack dog has a new map probably with a different rom, so it's showing you it has an update, but it's not on the market.
[G1 General] neoobs:
Exactly, so the question is... who has it?
[G1 General] xile6:
Exactly but i believe its from the hero builds just need one of the beta to check that out
[G1 General] tehseano:
Well that explains it. I always hate how aTrackDog skips over 4 of the apps I have because it says theres a new version out, even though the market says NOPE.

Anyone have an apk of atrackdog 2.4? I was a bit lost for a minute when I updated and my list of apps went from 96 to 82 lol.
[G1 General] xile6:
tehseano

i got atrackdog 2.4 and the reason your apps drop is because its no longer checking for system apps only market install.

give me a place or and email and ill send you 2.4 I try my hardest never to delete old files :P
[G1 General] momentarylapseofreason:
Long story short, Google Maps fails at life. I can be sitting at my house (in Chicago) and it says I am in Des Plaines (15 minutes away).

I go to my g/f's house about 3 hours away and it has me going in circles if I follow it's directions.

I finally just went ahead and bought a stand-alone GPS

I'm sorry, mates. I'm afraid that the WWE version will be released after the weekend:(... I have to do the memory reduction and yesterday the latest build of WM6.1 coded 21051.1.6.4 was leaked. Moreover, I'll be quiet busy during this weekend so I won't have enough time to cook. A more fantastic one will be given out next week, please be patient to wait:o...

i m using PDViet english ROm, can i flash it to this CHinese ROM?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] aa125690:

Good to know that someone is still active in the ATOM 6.1 Cooking-Business :D

Oh hey, I just though of something: can you cook the HTC Menu Enhancements into your ROM ? Pretty Please ? :D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] Redtabs:
yup,anyone prefer nicer interface and graphic rom.and opal interface is the no 1 choice for cooker today to cook on their 6.1 rom its bcoz the graphic are design for touch friendly.easy to controlling,handling,and configuring with a touch.this is a touch era and not a stylus era anymore.nice apps such as opal phonecanvas,opal dailer,opal keyboard,opal steaming media etc are cooked inside a rom today.you can check it at kaiser forum,hermes,blackstone,and etc..btw i keep thinking my self,every hp manufacturer such as nokia,LG,samsung,SE are working with touch hp OS right now.but why microsoft still use this old time keyboard screen of them on this 6.5?.on the landscape mode,you can see it wasted almost 1 inch of the screen.what are they thinking man? im so disappointed.this i a touch era ms not stylus. :( btw good luck for your Next rom bro! all the best!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] aa125690:
Well, you know, HTC softwares are mostly memory eaters. Almost all HTC devices nowadays have at least 128MB RAM but our Atom Lifes have only 64MB. I love HTC UI as well, but some parts of it cannot be duplicated to Atom Life, e.g. PhoneCanvas & TouchFlo2D, in order not to consume too much space of memory.

Therefore, I perfer to cook MWg-official-like ROMs. Nevertheless, I'll cook a fully HTC-like ROM(it is what I have promised but have never done before) at the end build of WM6.1. The pagepool will be reduced by 2MB and XIP modification will be done to create more free RAM.

Fortunately for you, I'll let you cook in different OEM by the kitchen. I'll provide the OEM packages of softwares for you to cook by your perference. The development of WM6.1 will be stopped after official WM6.5 ROMs completely out, and I'll re-provide the WM6.1 kitchen of the last build to let you cook;).

WM6.1 is nicer for RAM while WM6.5 is nicer for UI... You can't eat your cake and have it, mates:o.

P.S. I'll cook WM6.5 ROMs only after there's been some devices' official WM6.5 ROM be released. Before that, just use chriscsh's as they're really good ROMs.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] Tabbe:
yeah. please dun cook with other applications. clean & let others install as 1gb so its for user to choose themselves

but i really hope u can consider adding those tweak to make a clean rom better on atom life
