I think someone else stated this earlier in the thread, but if you don't want to disable T9 (or have to keep track of the cab and re-install on new roms or whatever) just use the Microsoft Keyboard to map keys. Not the HTC one, not the hardware one, but the small chicklet one with white keys and a blue border on each key. If you are able to get any number other than 229 for each key mapping, you're golden. I found I had to select the key I wanted (ie: up), press the keyboard to have it pop up, it would goto 229, select the key AGAIN and keyboard AGAIN then press the letter I wanted on the on-screen keyboard. Suggestion: open the hardware keyboard FIRST and write down what letters you want to map where (up=W, down=Z, etc..)

I did the above in portrait mode.

After you map the keys properly, you can start morphgear again in landscape mode, double press the FN/CTRL key at the bottom left of the hardware keyboard (make sure the FN light is lit at top of keyboard) and play as normal with the keys you mapped earlier.

Thanks OP and all who contributed to this thread. I really wanted some SNES games on my (Sprint) TP2 and this works great.

Now, to back-up the registry keys for morphgear so the next rom I won't have to go through that again! :O

Hi guys!,

I just received my Touch hd but before starting to mess with it I need to make a backup of my current SPL. I couldn't find any software on the forum which is dedicated for this task. I know it's my fault but the search function is just wierd on this forum...

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] starbase64:

Backup? Why?

Originaly SPL is attached.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maddie:
just download a official HTC rom that matches your device's current system.

it includes all you need to restore the phone to stock [Splash Screen, SPL, radio, OS]

you can find the download address in the forum [use "Search"] or the Blackstone Wiki.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
All you need to do is check your version of stock rom & SPL, and record them. Your stock rom should be available here.

Ok, I've tried not to make a thread about it and read around and try things on my own, but I cannot figure out two things with my phone. Maybe neither can be done..

1- The way my Kaiser used to label pictures was yyyymmddhhmm_###.jpg

So the file would be something like 200906302055_045.jpg

I can't figure out how to make my TP2 do this. The pictures save as IMAGE_014.jpg as an example and that is unhelpful when you don't keep all your pictures on your phone and you're flashing, etc. Does anyone know if that is even possible?

2-I really like the TF3D text conversation window..Except that it doesn't update when someone messages me. So I have to leave the window and come back, kinda defeating the purpose of it for me. Is this normal or is it fixable?

Thanks for any information :)

Make sure you have HardSPL installed as well before you flash.

Is my phone really broken? Like ill never ever be able to use it again? Is there any way to fix this? Someone told me to press Alt-L because the box with arrows pointing at the screen is the recovery mode screen but when I press Alt-L nothing happens
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Those are combined radio and ROMs for the Hero, not Hero ported to the Dream. At the top in big red letters it says:

So you flashed a radio not written for your device. Yes, it's a brick, you deserve a brick for completely ignoring the warnings...

I would say take it back to tmo, but as it's not a full brick, but a radio brick, they will know it's not an over the air update that caused it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Encatsu:
What do I tell t-mobile? I bought my phone on ebay..I dont even know if it has insurance or anything and I do not use a data-plan im using a t-mobile prepaid sim.. theres noway for me to fix this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
call HTC and talk to them, they will fix it on your dime. Basically you call them, they will tell you there is a "$29 or less triage fee", and give you an RMA number. Basically what they are saying is, without your approval, the charge to look at it will be less than $29. That includes shipping back to you. I would think a reflash would be a fairly cheap procedure. I have used HTC for repairs before and they really went over and above for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Oh, you're not a tmo customer....then they won't replace it for you. Only if you bought it from them. Enjoy your brick.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Encatsu:
Theres nothing that I can do to fix a radio brick!?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
here is the contact info for HTC-Tmobile repairs

1-888-356-2375	htc_tmobile@htcusainc.com

this is getting a bit old, NO, there is no fix for what you did other than sending it in for repair. Nobody but HTC has the ability to fix your type of brick as of right now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Encatsu:
Ok..can you tell me what I should tell them? My phone is rooted, doesnt that mean they wont accept it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Worst thing you can do is tell them the phone is rooted. If you've got a data plan and everything with T-Mobile, tell them that you installed an OTA update and that this problem happened.

Last time I had a brick, that's what I told HTC. They fixed it for free, all I had to pay for was the shipping.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Encatsu:
I do not have a data plan though..thats the thing im used t-mobile prepaid, so your saying not to tell them that my phone is rooted? Wont they know though?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
No, they can't tell. If you don't have a data plan with them, they won't help you. That's what they did to me since I just have a regular plan.

This is when you go to HTC. Find their support number on their website, and call them. They'll give you the address to send it to, and they'll repair it for 1-2 weeks. They pay for return shipping.

Also, tell them that there was an OTA update, you pressed "ok", and after that the phone would not reboot. DO NOT tell them anything related to you rooting it, flashing, etc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Encatsu:
Ok thanks... so since I dont have a data plan they wont help me fix it? I sent them an email anyways
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
No, but you can give them a call and see what they say.

I just know from experience that they've turned people down as well as myself in the past.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
That's why they call it a brick
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm0is3sx:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Sorry OP but I have to laugh, how could you miss the warning? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok now yea you can call HTC and say your phone reset itself overnight and when you woke up it was on that screen, act stupid like you know nothing about flashing, rooting, radios etc....I don't use tmobile and when my G1 **** the bed I sent it to HTC and they are currently fixing it.
[Off-topic] gullum:
well just something I came to think about while writing an other thread.

we buy our expensive HTC phones and the first thing I do is hardspl then on goes my first custom ROM. Now I have an expensive phone with no warranty :D thats good new for HTC because now they don't have to give me a new phone or repair it for free.. if something should go wrong with it. (I have had 10 HTC devices and none have had any problem)

In the Tom Codon's forum "HTCpedia" is a girl making some publish job interviews... and some thinks like that... hope she asks to any that guys that works in HTC or MS, if this kind of forums gives them some support... or troubles to them... as far as we play more with this things as advanced users than a smartphone with Symbian or OSX phones users... cause i have saw many people that has HTC windows mobile phones without a single hack runing stock roms... wn5 or 6... sad but true, but the most loyal CELLPHONE user i guess.

[Off-topic] riotburn:
flashing stock can be problem if you're usb breaks..
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Most devices can be flashed via microSD card by renaming the .nbh ROM file to the 4 letter device name (KAIS for the Kaiser, RHOD for the Rhodium, etc.) then adding IMG to the name. So RUU_Signed.nbh would be KAISIMG.nbh for a Kaiser and RHODIMG.nbh for a Rhodium. Even SPL versions can be updated with a microSD card.

As for the original topic of the thread, I would have to disagree. HTC probably does not like us flashing. It breathes a lot of new life into older devices, thus extending their lifespan and discouraging people from buying newer and more expensive HTC phones. Also, as has been mentioned before, most people revert to stock ROM and SPL before repairing, thus causing HTC to perform repairs at their expense, even though the original owner was at fault, and not HTC. I would say that flashing keeps a loyal customer base, which they want, but it comes with a price of unnecessary repairs.
[Off-topic] prince.siraj:
they seem to think it's worth it though, because when the g1 had the hero ports HTC never stopped them, and got many good reviews and tests for it, and optimized the UI and stuff thanks to XDA, but it's definitely a trade-off.
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well of course HTC wouldn't stop them, since XDA is one of their biggest selling points. Angering their entire enthusiast community would be a PR nightmare, and an incredibly stupid move from a business standpoint. That's why I can't understand why Google is sending Cease and Desist leters concerning their Android applications.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
And how does flashing custom ROM's increase the number of times that HTC phones have to be repaired??
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'm not saying that it necessarily makes more phones that need to be repaired, but rather, HTC is repairing a lot of devices that they shouldn't be repairing because they actually have voided warranties due to flashing (I probably should have made that more clear in my other post).

And if you don't frequent the Kaiser sections, you might not know about the Radio from Hell incident. What happened was a signed, yet somewhat broken radio was uploaded onto the forum, and once flashed, this radio could not be changed or removed through normal or conventional means. And many people did not get good reception from this radio. Since they couldn't change it, yet they needed their phones, many people intentionally bricked their Kaisers in order to get working models with no Radio from Hell.

And in a completely unrelated incident, the many people who used MTTY on their Kaisers and typed "Task 2a", expecting to fix bad blocks on the NAND, were unpleasantly surprised when their SPL and all internal memory were completely erased. All contents of their device, such as User Data, the ULDR partition, the OS partition, and the SPL were all completely erased, thus rendering their devices completely useless, many of which were sent to HTC while their owners played dumb about why their phones stopped working.

So what I'm trying to say is: while flashing in itself doesn't necessarily cause more repairs, user actions may very well, and in the end HTC may end up paying for your mistake when they think it's their fault your phone doesn't work.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
And a factory reset of the device did not fix the problems? ( just asking)
[Off-topic] lbcoder:
That warranty-void analysis is invalid.

Legally, if you make a modification and something completely unrelated fails, then the warranty is still valid on the failed component. The reason for this is simple; things like auto makers would be denying warranty claims on transmissions for ladies fingernail scratches around the door handle.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
Ah Ha!! So that's why my tranny is slip'n between 2nd and 3rd!:p
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
If you mean a Hard Reset, then no, a Hard Reset didn't fix the problem. Eventually, a fix was found for both the Task 2a problem and the Radio from Hell incident, though many of those who were affected had already sent their phones to HTC by then.
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
If that's the case, I'll be waiting for the official ROM upgrades from Sprint/HTC.

A hard reset/system restore has always been my best friend since I started tooling around with smart phones/laptops and has been my emergency parachute.

Is WM 6.5 set for release as a upgrade on the Sprint CDMA Touch ? Anybody know?
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well, what I think those two examples I provided prove is that there is risk in modifying these devices. When flashing a typical cooked ROM, there's almost no risk of device damage if instructions are followed and no shortcuts are taken. But playing around with MTTY (A powerful hyperterminal utility that can interface directly with the Bootloader) and typing commands when you don't know what they do, flashing ROMs/Radios not made for your device, and taking shortcuts when modding are all really good ways to brick your device (with a few exceptions).

Putting custom ROMs on and modifying every component of your device to your liking is very satisfying to me, and not terribly risky when I follow correct procedure. And although those examples I provided were unrecoverable with a Hard Reset, they were still solved by our best and brightest minds on XDA. Most problems are less severe than those. And if it helps you to know this, I've flashed my Kaiser over 50 times, and made many device level modifications without bricking once, simply because I followed the supplied directions, made sure I understood exactly what I was doing, and didn't take shortcuts. So it's not like flashing is bad, it's just that care needs to be taken until you completely know what you're doing.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
As a reward for all of you for your tests of my ROM (over five thousand downloads :) ) I'm releasing the full kitchen for you to try out.

This kitchen is based on PlatformRebuilder from bepe and new interface from ervius. It incorporates the native AKU5 kernel, which has leaked from HTC's laboratories.

It's for smart guys - if you can't do anything with it, just flash one of the available ROMs. If you have some smart questions - don't hesitate to ask, but don't post generic questions about cooking! It's not the right topic for such questions...

I have one good advice for all of you:

as my ROMs a heavily modified, use "Load ROM" option and start from one of the predefined sets, don't start from the scratch! Later, when you get familiarized with my ideas of cooking - go on.

The same goes for adding new builds - DON'T do this at the beginning! There're 23017 and 23052 builds included, so you don't have to - and by just adding a new one you will most probably screw your ROM up!

Have a nice cooking! :cool:
