[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
When you try to flash a NBH from another country/operator the CID check will fail and the flashing will stop. This is done so people can't just flash a rom from another country.

A goldcard (this is what engineers at HTC use) avoids the CID check (CID = Customer ID). This is the only reason why we use a goldcard, it has nothing to do with fixing a perfected SPL, or getting root, or whatever people tell you.

If you have a perfected SPL you can't use fastboot to flash or boot an image.

To fix this you will have to flash a non perfected SPL.

The only way to get a non perfected SPL is to flash an NBH that contains a non perfected SPL.

The problem is that we only have a few NBH's available that contain a non perfected SPL and a CID from another country/operator.

Unfortunately they are also for 32A devices and not for 32B devices.

This is the only reason why you need to get around the CID check and why you "upgrade" to 32A, and afterwards downgrade back to 32B once you have a non-perfected SPL.

If you have a 32A with a perfected SPL you'll only need a goldcard if your CID is different than the one of the NBH you are flashing, you'll also have no issues with a different radio because the NBH is for a 32A already.

If you find an 32B NBH with a non perfected SPL you'll also not have the different radio problem and you might not even need a goldcard if the CID is the same as the one in your phone.

Please be aware that you don't need to fix a non-perfected SPL to get root.

At the time that I wrote the SPL fix we didn't know about kernel exploits so we used this way to get root. In the mean time other ways are discovered to get root (like flashrec etc..). Those methods will however not fix your SPL so you will still not be able to use fastboot to erase, flash etc.

It's always easier to have an open SPL so you easily use fastboot to flash stuff to your phone.

You can also change the CID in your phone to a super CID (all 11111), when you have a super CID you can flash anything you want and you'll never need a goldcard. Changing the CID is something for another thread :p

Hope this makes things more clear :)

@Amon Ra

things are crystal clear the problem with me is i coundnt configure that fastboot thing i followed the instructions on android site but could not install the sdk tool and use fast boot

so just wanted to as that if i use an H recovery to get to the recovery console will it work for me can i flash new ROMs

coz i am already tired dont want to experiment any more
[HD2 General] zsilak:
Do you guys know if there is a camera app that makes it possible the use the camera and especially the camcorder holding the phone in portrait mode? Pretty much like the iphone. It would only require one hand to take pictures.

thanks
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
What prevents you from turning the device in your hand so it is in portrait mode?
[HD2 General] zsilak:
well, then it takes portrait pictures and portrait video :)

i wan to take landscape video (what else?) while holding the phone in portrait mode.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Then you would have to rotate the camera sensor somehow, do you understand that ? Such thing is not possible only by software.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
It is surely possible by means of software, it works on many cameras and cameraphones. I'd think that the sensor itself is square, so it's just a matter of what portion of sensor data you want to use.

Hi,

I made use of the below link in a process to upgrade to WM 6.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/?pagename=Wizard%20Windows%20Mobile%206%20for%20newbies

I had succeeded in Hard SPL (now showing SPL as 2.21.olip)and tested whether it is CID LOCKED OR NOT.

It is still CID locked. Because when I tried Rom upgrade from WM 6 Crossbow version it is showing CID error.

In the above link, G4 safe ROMs are mentioned and I don't what versions are they and where to download. All what I have is crossbow , ppc versions and neither are working.

KINDLY, CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT TO BE DONE AFTER THE PROCEDURE IN THE ABOVE LINK. PLEASE HELP ME......

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the weather animation when the phone is turned on? It's quite impressive first but then it just hinders the phone's usability and becomes annoying. (to me at least)

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lopche:
Simple: when you are choosing the main screen background, choose the "animated" tab, instead of the "weather" wallpaper tab and the picture you choose will not have the weather animation.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] paulyt:
Hi I think that I have had my fingers burned for messing with my phone!! I flashed my phone with a new rom, (having installed hard spl previously) it went ok and finished normally but when I booted the phone it tells me that the phone has 0 bytes available and is critically low. there are no ringtones and it keeps freezing but the worst problem is that I can no longer connect through active sync or wmdc I have tried on three computers. I can navigate to the phone in explorer but am unable to flash or connect to it. When I try to flash it returns error 224 Device not responding. I would appreciate any help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gioboni:
i have never try it, however MTTY could be the solution:

you must take the phone into boot mode then connect it to pc...

Dear all,

How is it in general with harware/software 3D support on Windows Mobile HTC devices:

Are appropriate 3D SDKs available?

Is either Direct3DMobile or OpenGL supported?

Are the drivers adapted for 3D applications?

Where can I get more information on this topic?

Thank you very much,

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
There's already a lot of projects that handle these questions.

Here's what my good friend had to say about it:

http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&...t=result&cd=1&q=graphics+acceleration&spell=1
[Windows Mobile Software Development] heliosdev:
This can't be answered in general as it depends on the chipset used in the device. Check my sig for an OpenGLES/VG test app (in the first post you'll find a link to a thread with improved 3d drivers for MSM72xx devices)

Original drivers are poor in terms of gpu support.

D3D support is msdn and OpenGLES info at khronos group.

Just search for samples/sdk. There are some around (e.g. PowerVR SDK)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bunkai:
Hello Heliosdev,

However, say if I want do develop 3D applicaiton for QSD8250, I need to have appropriate SDK. This SDK must be able to generate code, that will support the GPU of QSD8250.

How is it with SDK's for QSD8250 and associated video drivers, please?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bunkai:
Hello Noonski,

Thanks for info. I understand your point, but before I came here, I did not find anything specific to QSD8250 that is in HTC HD 2.

I would really need to know what is its situation with HW 3D support, OpenGH ES 2.0 and Video Driver.

So far i know that its GPU supports version 2 of OpenGL ES. But no idea if there is an SDK available and support of its driver.

Regards,

Rene
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Noonski:
Sounds like a valid Software Problem to me.

I had first thought you where referring to the older devices.

Touch HD2 is indeed very new ground.

I hope you get the attention of some of the developers that have dealed with Graphics hardware support in the past.

[HD2 General] Rossimac:
I've got Igo working fine, but i find that it's pretty terrible for correct speed limits here in Northern Ireland! Constantly thinks I'm in a 30mph when I'm in a 40mph.

Also, I find it takes a while for it to "realise" that I've gone from a 40 to a 50mph zone for example. On my Navigon GPS, it's almost an instantaneous update. Just a shame that their application is crap on the HD2, otherwise I'd have bought it.

Unless there is a fix? :P

So I installed the IE / PIE toggle app. (IEToggle). Having problems w/ PIE though.

When I enable PIE, tapping and holding does not bring up the context menu like it's supposed to. Instead, tapping and holding does nothing. Also, if I slide the keyboard open while PIE is open, PIE either crashes or closes (like when you tap its "X" in the quick menu).

Anyone have any remedies?
[HTC Excalibur] Bkid001:
The reason I say this is a weird situation is because I'm actually using an old Suncom SIM card. My girlfriend's phone finally died after going through numerous drops/abuse for the past few years, so I was going to give her my old Dash. Now, the official ROM does that "network is locked" thing, so I figured I would a custom ROM. Well, I was able to start up the phone successfully and use it fully with the Suncom SIM inserted, but it does not find the T-mobile signal.

Is there a way around this, or is she going to have to go to T-mobile and have her SIM converted over to a T-mobile one?
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
is your phone sim unlock? In order to use other provider< you phone must be sim unlocked>

good luck
[HTC Excalibur] Bkid001:
That's the thing though, it's not being used by a DIFFERENT provider, but actually by the SAME provider. The only problem is that the SIM card is from the old company before the two merged, so I'm guessing that makes a difference.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Maybe as we have company's that use same carrier yet the sims can't be used without unlock phone.

Eg: BT, Asda both use Vodaphone yet can't have a Vodaphone or Asda SIM in a BT phone without unlock...

Are you talking about transferring settings or the actual messages?

The former isn't really needed, you'll have that set up automatically for you. Re messages I've never heard about a tool that would transfer stuff from Android to WM and I would seriously doubt such a thing exists.

Its the actual messages itself, just wondering if there would be a simple way of backing up my messages, then putting them onto the HD2 when it arrives. If it cant be done not overly worried, just thought it would be cool if I could.

new version.

1.10 - added import cab function. this can convert a .cab into a kitchen package using the _setup.xm in a wince cab. it will proces the registry entries, files, shortcuts and app data and create the app.dat and app.reg files. i have only tested this on a few .cab's (the dusk 2.5 manila theme and the taskbar icons and a few other ones) so tbh i don't know how reliable it its but it seems ok. need feedback on this one please
[Windows Mobile Software Development] akito:
Hey,

This tool works really great!! But I have just one suggestion:

When importing the cab, it presumes that it's going to be used in a WWE or english version of WM. So it uses Program Files, Start Menu etc. instead of the how it's written in the language of the ROM. To make it easy for yourself, maybe it can be defined in an .INI file?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 50chickens:
doesnt sound too hard. check back in a few days.
