[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NumbGreenThumb:
I just switched from Tmobile to Vodafone and before, the mobile network was always H and now on Vodafone, it goes between 3G and H. Does anyone else who has Vodafone experiencing this? It seems weird that it would be switching between the two. Maybe Tmobile just had better HSPA coverage....?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffert:
I'm on vodafone NL too. Indeed it switches between the H and the 3G. I noticed though that it only switches to H if you are actually using the connection, otherwise it just stays on 3G. Try updating the weather for instance, you'll see it switching.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NumbGreenThumb:
That's what I noticed as well, I just thought it was strange. Good to know though.

What do you think of their coverage? I just switched, so maybe that might have something to do with it, but last night I couldn't get any service in my bedroom but with Tmobile, I had a full signal...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffert:
I live in noord-holland, and coverage is pretty good. Wherever I am I get at least 3G. Vodafone hasnt been very reliable though. There were two crashes on their network a few weeks ago that crippled the data network but they fixed those errors within a couple of hours, so nothing to really worry about. No problems since.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Same here in the UK with T-Mobile.

When I first had the phone I'd almost never see 3G, just H or G. Now, I regularly get 3G but as soon as I start to use the data connection it usually switches to H.

I thought at first it was a result of me upgrading the radio, but I'm not so certain now. However, data speeds seem good so I'm not concerned.

Hello XDA-ers.

I've flashed my phone with the new ROM from the htc website.

And today i wanted to put Dutty's ROM on it, but it wouldnt flash.. the update would get stuck on 0% and then nothing happens for 20 minutes..

I also tried the udK_Lea_R5_MW6.5_WWE rom but the same thing happened.

Is there something wrong with my phone?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Scoooby555:
You need to use Hard-SPL.

READ THIS and follow instructions!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520312
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DeathJester:
Simple things first:

Have you run HardSPL? (Latest version is required, 1.83 at time of writing).

Have you tried loading into Bootloader manually before attempting to flash? (Hold VolDown when powering on).

If those fail, try and identify what has changed since you flashed the original ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] J-r0en:
Aaah didnt knew i needed HardSPL..

First time i flashed my ROM it immidiatly worked =p

Thought that ROM screwed my phone in ever being flashed again .

Just needed the HardSPL ^^

Working smooth now, thanks !

Hi Guys,

If someone could help me out with a few small questions I would greatly appreciate it:

1. How do I change the Windows Phone startup screen to something else?

2. How do I change the background in the start menu/today screen?

I'm new to this so still learning, thanks for your help!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] olly_p:
Hi all,

im a little confused, i have firmware 1.5, and MoDaCo 2.3, i saw on htc web site the was a rom update. is that different to MoDaCo?

Can some explain what is what.....just so i can get it clear in my head:)

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
MoDaCo is user cooked ROM i.e. it is not "official" for what it's worth!

It is based on the latest HTC rom (2.73), but has had additional functionality/optimizations cooked into it and is "rooted". The firmware level you mentioned, 1.5, just means it is a Cupcake build (as opposed to 1.6 for Donut, and 2.0 for Eclair). There will be no official 1.6 ROM for Hero as HTC have announced they will go straight to 2.0.

You should really be looking at the build number as currently the only fully functional Hero ROMs are based on Cupcake, 1.5.

If you have a 2.73.???.?? build, you are already running an ROM based on the latest code.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] olly_p:
thanks for your reply this i what i have

Kernel version 2.6.27-8dd6deee

build number modaco custom rom 2.3 core

software version 1.0.0.a6288.

another problem i have with ths is that when i press home and power together i dont go into the boot screen....any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
There's no need to "upgrade" to the official ROM if you're on Modaco 2.3 as essentially both are 2.73 builds. You probably want to upgrade to Modaco 2.9.

When you say you can't get into the "boot screen", I presume you mean the recovery console? I take it then that you didn't flash to Modaco 2.3 yourself?

Just to be sure you are following the correct process, with the phone off you should hold down the home button and then power on the device, keeping home held down. You should then boot into the recovery console.

Dave

Did any one experinced that yahoo! mail kept prompting the "incoming email password" screen?

Any solution to that? thanks!
[Touch2 General] mobiAnd:
Y! Mail does not support POP3.
[Touch2 General] starlit:
a couple of weeks ago, I was using the HTC SNAP. It worked perfectly. (I suspect Yahoo changed something as they launch their new browser based email client).

Now, it does not work on the mega. BTW, by default, IMAP is automatically defined, not POP.

Hi there,

I'm searching for

calendar app which:

+ same comfort like HTC calendar .. or better

+ has the ability to set entries as private

+ does not need google calendar (I don't want to save my personal data on a server where i can't be shure that someone else had access to)

+ can be syncronized with "HTC Sync-Manager"

shopping list which:

+ don't need internet access to work

+ scans barcodes in order to add a product to my list and database

+ had a optional setting per product for "Price per value" (e.g.: 0.20€/100g or 4.10€/1kg)

+ had a optional setting per product for ammount .. as REAL (e.g.: 2.0 or 0.45)

+ had a optional setting per product for category (e.g.: "drink" or "cat food" )

+ a simple input for a new product or to add a product without the need to press "menue"

+ automatically calculates the end price

For example I want to add 400g minced meat to my list:

Database:

minced meat (meat) for 4.20€/kg

shopping list:

-> 0.4x meat 1,68€

I searched the whole marketplace ... or i think i had.

Please help ... or develop !!!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cqms13:
Hi all,

I have a nandroid backup of cm4.1.999 saved to my PC

However I had to return my G1 for repair and I had to repeat the rooting process when I got it back as I got a new main board fitted (thats a whole other story!!:eek::eek::):))

So... now I am now running cm4.1.11.1.:(

My question is ...

Can I just do a nandroid restore of .999 and avoid having to repeat the flashing of the HTC files etc

cheers..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diceman4:
Yes, anything that was not on the ext partition will restore.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Yes. After you do so, you should upgrade to 4.2.3.1 ASAP.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndd333:
Verified. I have personally unrooted (for important reason), rerooted and restored a nandroid backup. I got everything back, even my apps. Simple as copying the fat32 and ext partition data to pc and restoring it to scdard before restoring nandroid backup.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
I have been trying to go back to a stock rom so I can sell my mogul.

I'm trying to follow the directions here.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome

I got to relocking part and to the point where it tells you to disconnect and reconnect the usb.

I did this but couldn't get the phone to activesync again. I tried going through the rest of steps but ended up getting stuck at the bootloaded screen.

I'm on XP trying to go back to Sprint's 3.35.651.2 (Radio 3.35.04).

I'm currently on one of No2chem's rom.

I have no idea where to go from this point. Any help would be great. Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
PLease supply you current radio, rom, and bootloader version
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Thanks for your help. :)

However, I have no idea how to get that information for you.

I'm guessing there's a exit bootloader I need to run???
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
When the phone first turns on does it go straight to bootloader? What version does the bootloader say?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Yes straight to bootloader.

TITA100

SPL-1.06.0000

CPLD-9

at the white part it says Serial then USB when I plug the usb in.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
I think you need the 2.xx boot loader for the GPS radio. Try this Relocker:

http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueSPLnueSPL-ReLocker-for-the-HTC-Titan.aspx
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Sorry, I'm pretty noob. I need specific steps. lol

Right now, I'm still stuck in the bootloader screen.

What do I do to get out?

Where do I get the 2.xxx bootloader and how do I run it? I'm totally lost now. :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
Ok, so your stuck in boot loader with a pre-gps boot loader. Download this rom/radio and flash:

ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/Sprint_2.16_OS.nbh

That will bring you back to stock pre-gps rom. Then you should be able to go straight into flashing the official upgrades from Sprint, if you wanted to.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Thanks. I'll try it now.

I'll ya know it it works.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
I tried flashing to that rom/gps you gave me. Here are the steps I took:

-Placed file in to RUU folder

-Ran RUU

-Went through the steps and clicked "Update"

-It says it will update to: "Image Verision: Sprint_2.16OS.O

At the updating screen with the % bar it stays at 0. After 1-2 mins it gives me the "ERROR [262]:Update error" then ask for me to go through the steps to recover. I go through the recovery steps and try to flash again and get the same problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
Error 262 means it is having problems connecting, not sure why. Instead of trying to relock, lets try unlock for now and then go back to relock.

Here is a GPS ROM unlocker. Give this a try and should bring you back to where you started. DO NOT use the relocker you used.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
I'll try that out.

After I get back to where I started.. I read somewhere i can just download the exe. file from htc and upgrade without relocking? is that true?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
I have flashed the stock Sprint rom with the phone unlocked. The only reason I can see to relock is for warranty reasons. I have shipped phones back to verizon with custom roms, nothing was ever said
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
You should try to flash this rom. ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/Sprint_2.17_OS_RUU_signed.rar

You can try putting in ruu but I suggest you flash by sd card. Name .nbh to TITAIMG.nbh. then place on 2gb or smaller sd card and turn on phone. Once bootloader reads card it should say loading start the process.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
I made an assumtion here, just wanted to check, you are in bootloader when you try to run ruu, right?

If you still cant't drew is right, but the rom (non-gps) on sd card and it will load.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Yes, I'm in bootloader (the tri-colored screen). I'm still stuck in it.

I tried flashing through SD card as well. Here's what I did just incase.

-Used 1GB card

-Formated FAT32

-Renamed the file here ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...RUU_signed.rar to TITAIMG.nbh.

-Moved the file to the card and is the ONLY thing on the card

-Inserted in the phone

NOTHING HAPPENS

The only time I can get it out the bootloader screen is when I'm flashing with the RUU. It goes to the white screen with the % bar but then gets frozen there.

I tried using that Relocker but it wouldn't run.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Please provide your bootloader, rom, and radio version
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
TITA100

SPL-1.06.0000

CPLD-9

I don't know what my rom and radio is...

All I know is that I was on one of no2chem's roms. And tried using that "back to stock" wiki guide.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Well I assume you have a gps rom with a nongps bootloader. You need a bootloader version of 2.xx. Please list your carrier. Also radio and rom versions are listed on bottom right of screen when you turn it on.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
It goes straight to bootloader when i turn it on so I can't tell whar rom it is.

I was using sprint but I have cancelled my service.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/Sprint_2.17_OS_RUU_signed.rar flash the above rom by sd card method.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Is there any different from this to the earlier link you provided?

If it's the same it doesn't do anything when I insert the card. :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
try inserting the card then force into boot again. So when the bootloader starts up, it will look at the card. I don't think it works if your already in booloader and insert the card.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
How do I force it to bootloader when it goes directly to bootloader when I turn on the phone?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
Insert card first, the press and hold the power and camera button while hitting the soft reser hole on the botton. Do not let go of the pwr or camer button untill you see bootloader.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
What did you name the file and are you using a 2gb or smaller sd card formatted to fat32
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Didn't work :(

The phone just turns on right to bootloader. Holding those botton down while the phone was off to turn off didn't do anything as well.

TITAIMG.nbh
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
So if you turn the phone on and then enter bootloader does it ever go to a loading screen after you enter the sd card.

You can also take the .nbh and use ruu to flash the rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
Guys quit using this thread to profit on the post count.. If he is stuck in bootloader he needs to run the Exitbl.exe file first to get out of it or it will keep having errors like its doing..

tookays2k, the hyperlinks below are downloads in case you dont have the files.

Just extract the contents of the unlocked bootloader exe file Olipro240 into a new folder using Winrar or 7zip and look for the file Exitbl.exe. First you want to UNCHECK Allow USB connections in Active Sync connection settings (right click icon on computers taskbar). Then

make sure memory card is removed

and phone is turned on and stuck at the bootloader screen. Plug the phone into a main usb port built into the Motherboard (no hub). Give it a few seconds to detect the phone. Then run the Exitbl.exe.. Once its out of bootloader you can go ahead and unplug the phone and flash using the NON GPS Sprint Stock ROM by manually placing the phone in bootloader (read the edit in bold below) and then plugging the phone back into the computer. Give it a few seconds to detect the phone. And then run the NON GPS Sprint Stock ROM. OR have the phone unplugged and put the memory card with the NON GPS Stock Sprint ROM nbh file renamed from RUU_signed.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh file on the 2gb and under FAT32 default allocation size FORMATTED card by itself (no folder or anything else) back into the phone and manually place in bootloader (read the edit in bold below) and follow the prompt.

This has to help you, let me know how it goes. Make sure you are flashing a NON GPS Stock Sprint ROM because the bootloader you are using is for NON GPS.

Once you are back to a functioning Windows Mobile OS let me know and I will guide you through the unlocked bootloader and Custom ROM and Radio flash.

Edit: And I see you are having trouble manually placing the phone in bootloader. After you follow my steps to get out of the stuck bootloader. When you choose your method to flash the NON GPS Stock Sprint ROM. Press and hold both the Power and Camera button and while holding those use the Stylus to press the reset button in for a second or two (little hole next to memory card slot). then let go of all three buttons. Thats how you manually place the Titan into bootloader mode. Also make sure you freshly place into bootloader right before you are about to flash, if you let it sit in bootloader for more than a few minutes the flash will not work and will error out.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
RyanMogul6800,

Thank you so much. These are the kind of intructions I need. Very precise and to the point.

I'm finally out of the bootloader. However, I'm still having trouble flashing to the NON GPS Sprint Stock ROM.

I tried flashing using the SD card first. I did the following:

-Used a 1GB card

-renamed the file to TITAIMG.nbh

-Placed the card in the phone

-Entered bootloader

Nothing happens

I also tried flashing with RUU. I did the following:

-Placed the NON GPS Sprint Stock ROM in the RUU file.

-Ran the RUU

-Got stuck at the Updating the ROM image on your PDA phone part with the % bar still reading 0

-I tried running the RUU after I manually placed the phone in bootloader as well. The same thing happens. I get stuck at the update page and it then gives the UPDATE ERROR 262.

Since I'm no longer in the bootloader screen I can tell you what it says on the HTC page:

P DCAAXAM-4350H

R 3.35.04

D 3.35

Also, if this helps any. I don't really need to go back to an official sprint OS.

I just need the phone to be 100% functional for the next person to activate it and use it. I'm selling the phone for $50 bucks on craigslist so they can't expect too much out of it.

Thanks again!

edit- now the phone reboots itself every 5 mins or so on its own.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
It reboots because you have a nongps bootloader and a gps rom and radio. You will have to get a non gps rom and radio on so that you can go to a gps bootloader.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
Hey no one ever asked you this and I need to know.. Is your phone a Sprint Branded HTC Mogul (PPC6800)? Otherwise what branding is on the phone? Ex: Alltel (p4000), Verizon (xv6800), etc..

Also if you are stuck in bootloader again you need to follow my previous instructions to get out of it first. Now if its not a Sprint branded mogul then stop now and let me know. If it is the Sprint branded Mogul then download this Stock Sprint GPS ROM, its an exe.

Now remove your memory card

and unplug the phone (meaning from PC and or power cord). Install these HTC Serial Drivers just for safe keeping.

Restart your computer

and wait until it is booted up and ready to go. Make sure in Active Sync connections settings that Allow USB connections is UNCHECKED and click ok (so the little active sync icon should be white with a little red x). Make sure you are using a main USB port on your motherboard and not using a hub or a front port. Also make sure every other USB device is unplugged. Now manually place the phone into bootloader mode (yes do it again, like i said if it sits in bootloader too long it will fail all flashes) plug the phone in and give it a few seconds to detect. Now run the Sprint GPS ROM exe that I had you download and follow its prompts.

Edit: If it says that you need an active sync connection to run the update then use Winrar or 7zip and extract the contents of the Stock GPS sprint ROM exe into a new folder. Unplug the phone and Restart the computer again, wait until its booted and ready to go and manually place the phone into bootloader, then plug the phone into the pc and give it a few seconds. Now look in the new folder for RomUpdateUtility.exe and run that. Now follow the prompts.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
RyanMogul, you caught onto my plan. I've always wanted to be cool with over 700 posts, but you foiled it.

*****ATTENTION MODERATORS*****

For my obvious abuse of excessive posts, please subtract 8 Post (to include this one) from my post count. Also please deduct an additional 25 for punitive measures.

To tookays2k, my apoligies, I never intended on helping you fix your phone, I was just stringing you along to try to LOOK COOL. I wish you luck, and now that you have some one who knows what they are doing and not stringing you along, I'm sure you phone will be operable in by morning.

Good luck.

Kevin
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
No need to get all crazy, I understand you tried to help tookays2k but you kept passing up that he was stuck in bootloader.. You guys just asking little questions one by one turned the thread into multiple pages. XDA is cluttered as it is and are you going to pay for more server power and space?

If you want to be a technical master then you need to learn how to identify and respond. I knew from the beginning the guys problems but I let others try and help. When it got a little excessive I stepped in to help the poor guy out. And if he doesnt get it by morning its not my fault. Some people just cant grasp certain concepts of flashing phones. You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmanuel74:
I'm not offended and hope your not, just having a little fun. I standby my thoughts of being able to do everthing from the bootloader. If flashing a stock rom/radio from there is not working, something else is up.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] tookays2k:
Thank you EVERYBODY for the help! Those last instructions worked great.

Is my phone now safe for it's new owner?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
Well that all depends on how you are selling it. Currently in its fixed state if it is indeed a Sprint Branded Mogul then Yes it is ready to be activated on Sprint for its new owner. It has a Stock Sprint Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM on it with Sprint 3.35.04 GPS Radio. QPST/PST settings are already set for Sprint, and a Sprint PRL is loaded. The Stock ROM set all that up.

To sell it safely you have to make sure you sell it as a Stock Sprint Mogul so the customer isnt expecting anything different.

Also to be sure the ROM has overwritten all memory regions I would do a hard reset prior to shipping. You basically want to hard reset after every ROM flash but in my experience Stock ROMs do a good job overwriting everything on its own. Better to be safe then sorry though. Hard reset = Press Both the Hardkeys above the Call and End buttons (the keys to press have a white dot on them), while holding those press in the reset button and hold for a second or two then release all the buttons. Then follow the prompt that comes up. After it reboots let the phone boot up and run Auto Customizations, do not interrupt it, let it finish and it will reboot again.

Cheers and take care!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] zoomtoob:
i had the same thing happen to me...

stuck in Bootloader SPL 2.40

when i relocked using non-GPS and then nue GPS relockers there is no change.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] arielphf:
If I might comment? I'm just a noob, but I had this exact problem.

I also had difficulty getting stuck in the bootloader (Olipro 2.40) but in another thread I was told it was because I was using Windows Vista to unlock the phone. Their recommendation was to run the exitbl.exe file from an XP machine instead.

What I ended up doing was loading the radio file (TITAIMG.NBH) on a micro SD card and doing a hard reset with the card inserted. It loaded the radio and then worked after that. Not sure I'd recommend that course of action, though the phone seems to be working OK now.
