Hi, solved some problems, still some issues:

- Opera 10 Pinch Zoom doesn't work (Does this ever worked?).

- Registry files (.reg) doesn't write keys on registry, just open Taskmanager.

Redownload the file to an other directory

or try installing on your pc an other compression utility.

Example Winzip Winrar 7zip PowerArchiver

My wi-fi is not greyed out. Are you connected to pc via usb? Disconnect and wi-fi should be available again. Also I think internet connections are disabled when connected via usb

I'm at a crossroads...

I bricked my HD2... somehow by plugging in the USB cable during the first few seconds after soft rebooting the HD2 it turned off and will not turn on again at all no matter what I do, change battery, etc.... incidentally, don't do what I did - apparently that will brick your HD2. :-(

Anyway, I'm now at a crossroads... should I get a new HD2 so that I may continue my investment of time and money I've spent perfecting my phone or do I realize that the windows mobile platform is done and invest in something new like an android phone or windowsPhone or something?

I was bummed when I found out windows stop development of the windows mobile platform and that windowsPhone wouldn't run winmo apps. But now that I've bricked my HD2 and realize that I've got to start over from scratch or reinvest more time and money into a dead platform, I'm just not sure what to do.

I'm reaching out to you guys for guidance as many of you are one mistake away from the same dilemma... any thoughts?

Does the HD2 still charge when you plug in the USB or charger cable?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aguyatthebeac:
No, it doesn't. :-( No little charge light, nothing. Weird that just plugging in the USB cable during bootup would brick me like this, but I guess it does.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] eichenberg:
I don't know if it was plugging it in or not...but, I always reset with the phone plugged in and I have never had this problem. Not sure if it makes a difference that you plugged it in right after vs it already being plugged in.

On your original question 2 hd2 or not 2 hd2. I had to make a similar choice .i have a blackstone i am due an upgrade this month so could of gone for an upgrade new hd2 or anything i wanted but chose to buy a second hand hd2 from ebay the reasons were 1, i love the flexibility of winmo 2, you can run andriod windows phone etc on it 3, none of the phones out there seem that much better than the hd2 at the moment . So my advice i have a look on ebay see if you can get yourself a bargin, but you never know the next post might help you reserect your bricked phone

Bug found (or new feature)

Hi NRGZ28,

since some month I have a DHD and now a new HD2 is my second phone, so I want to use your ROMs for the HD2 again.

But I've found a Bug which exists since some month.

In "Settings" -> "Personal" -> "Phone" you can select if you want to select the network "manual" or "automatic". Every time I change it to "manual", after reboot it is "automatic again.

I am very often in other countrys and there I want to select the network byself.

Can you take a look at this issue, please?

Many regards

Crusoe

Can someone post the original keyboard cab? I installed Dinik keyboard and didn't liked but after the uninstall I remained with a very ugly keyboard where I cannot see any Shift + characters.

Phone is bricked when it powers on but gets stuck on htc logo screen due to wrong radio flashing, since your phone doesn't power on at all do this for me. Remove the battery from the phone leave it over 2 hours or over night then put it back in and get a wall charger or another usb cable and plug it in to see if it's going to charge.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
I think that's what is mutually considered a partial brick. In that instance, you can still resurrect the phone because you can access the bootloader and flash the proper radio/ROM.

However, aguyatthebeac could have a complete brick, which means the phone cannot be resurrected (unless, perhaps, JTAG is used; I'm not very familiar with JTAG).

...more on bricked HD2...

Well, I left the battery out for a long time and then tried putting it back and pluging in USB and nothing.... still bricked. :-(

So, I googled "HD2 repair" and came up with this promising option:

http://www.portatronics.com/product_info.php?info=p1186_HTC-HD2-Diagnostics.html

They are in New York... I'm in Virginia so they are close & shipping will be quick.

Does anyone know of any other options for this kind of repair in the eastern US?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
used hd2: 175-200

used/new hd7 300-350

used vibrant/g2/myt4g: 200-275

go with what you like, you can see the costs are mostly similar.

I have done that before. Only fix I found was to hard reset or reflash ROM. not sure if anyone has all the files needed to correct the look.

sorry, but no. Phone is bricked when it won't charge/ turn on at all. I should know, I've bricked 2 hd2's that were acting up to help with easier replacement.

I would email them first and ask if they have a jtag to unbrick hd2's. More than likely they can't fix it. When it's in that state, even htc won't bother to repair, they just send you a replacement. Have you contacted htc to see what they can do? You can google htc usa service and find their number.

Hey silent, I just ordered a T9193 and can't wait to get it. Any advice you can give for setting it up on AT&T with this NRG rom? Is it just straight forward to use the carrier setup right after sim insertion? Do you use the aGPS for at&t that eras2r has out there? I have been using that on my Tilt2.

Thanks for any help you have.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Just make sure you dont end up paying too much and take pictures of all serial numbers on the device just to be sure that you have some prove.

Anyway if the charge light does not show I would definetly check two things first. USB Cable and USB connector. I mention that because my USB Cable from HTC broke internaly on me while travelling and would not charge anymore. I never realized how fragile those USB Cables can be until I touched that HTC USB Cable that came with my device. My new cable is allot sturdier. If you are lucky it is just the cable. With a little less luck its just the USB plug on the device that needs resoldering (portatronics.com might be able to do something in that case). Most unlikely scenario but with even less luck it acctualy damaged more (which most likely renders it unrecoverable due to high repair costs). I doubt portatronics.com can replace anything beyond the USB Plug for the price a used HD2 at Ebay costs. If you think you are up to it you could also buy a HD2 were the touch screen is broken but still works otherwise and combine it with yours. That way you could safe yourself some bucks but its not for faint of heart taking a HD2 apart.

Just in case you realy cant fix it (hope not). As far as getting another HD2 or a new Android device it is a easy decision. Can you life with Android only? I cant, so I would buy another HD2 again. If you are happy with Android only I would look for a device that has some good XDA Support. As far as Windows Mobile, development might have stoped but not the support. All current OS are supported and what we have is enough to get by for now. Especially with WP7 and NAND/SD Android. And if Microsoft is not being a little b... Windows 8 hopefully will still support WM6.5. :)

A little note to everyone: If you see something that I or my predecessors missed and you feel should be in the FAQ or have other suggestions for the FAQ please PM me. I am trying to follow the Thread closely but if I ever miss anything I appreciate a quick reminder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aguyatthebeac:
... bricked HD2 ...

Well, I'm going to call them tomorrow and of course make sure they can jTag fix it and see what the cost and turnaround time is.

I've also contacted 2 people here at XDA that are in the US and are known to successfully jTag fix HD2s for people. So we'll see what comes.

I'll keep everyone posted.

And thanks for all the help... I really didn't want to switch to another platform. Having the option to run both was great!

Igo 8.3 not working on this ROM?

Hi,

The looks of the Touch and Glass Rom in the energy series seem very nice so I wanted to try this ROM.

I was an Artemis user but it's always nice to try something new :)

The ROM seems to work quite good (8 march version, flashed yesterday) apart from Igo.

Igo will just not work and gives the following error at startup:

'Failed to open igo\240_400\loading.bmp'

Is there anyone out there who can help me to solve this problem? I have not changed anything in Igo and it has always worked without any problems on the Artemis or the standard ROM. So the sys.txt from Igo should be correct.

I don't understand what could be different in the Energy ROM that could cause this problem? Perhaps anyone who does?

Whats the status of quickshutdown in latest 29017 build ?

The implementation via Poweroffwarning.exe was a bad one on HD2 as overlaying same options over quick menu is kind of pointless but easily changed by flashing file or script over current file.

Control over End/Power button seems non existant, button options & long press option are next to useless :-/ shame Tarkim never bought a HD2 lol, him button mapping drivers were simply the best.

Anyone have a button mapping app working quite well ? aeButton from my test is useless.

Suprised no one has resolved end/power button control as currently it is a mess.

hello,

in all your roms (HD/HD2) i would be verry happy to see a german standard reference with the 21916 build (or this com line). and an wwe standard reference which was there at the last version but isn't now here http://hotfile.com/list/600926/774f186 .

thank you!

It is set up for ATT out of the box...once you put your SIM card in, you are good to go. When you flash NRG's rom, the connection setup screen comes up. ATT is selected by default, press it, and you are good to go for 3G coverage!

I dont use that particular cab for gps... I use fmedrano's gps tweaks cab in conjunction to the aGPS...my average time for a lock is about 30-40 seconds...I also use Fusion GPS fix...if you need those cabs, let me know..

Hi NRG

after a 3 week hiatus I am back "home".

I tried your android NAND rom and a few others and I just missed Winmo. Am I Crazy??

I find this rom to be far superior and I also like CHT way too much and I need the full Office apps plus Office Communicator.

For now I'll stick to the great SD Android builds out there to get my fix of the neat APPs but you are my day to day power house.

thanks again.

Hi

I have installed the latest Energy.Leo.29013.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Touch.Of.Glass.Mar.12 and it's really fantastic with no problems at all for me.

The only small issue i have is that in this ROM and a few of the past ROMs Quick GPS does not automatically update itself when in ActSync with my PC, even though this feature is Ticked-off in the Quick GPS menu.

Would appreciate it if anybody knows of a solution

Thanks

Have you tried to switch ON the phone while charging but without battery in it?

Have you tried another battery or/and another charger? You can go in a shop or a repair center and ask for a charger and battery test. Or maybe a friend who has an HD2 can help you.

Could be a battery problem or charger problem.

Good luck.

I was looking for something like that last night as well. I wish there would have been a dedicated power button like most other devices had. Wishful thinking, I suppose. It would be nice to be able to map iManager to a button, but I haven't found a program that would do that yet.

Bluetooth toggle switch

I'm using the Energy ROM from 08 Mar (29008 Touch of Glass) and after I had installed DJC's endkey app (for Energy ROM),the bluetooth toggle switch doesn't work anymore.In other older ROMs it used to work.I don't have any other app installed.

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
EndKey

Good button control is missing on HD2 & no development has really been done for this problem on HD2.

Send key long press remaps via key options ok so you could use hbutton on that key to launch a selection of programs.

You could also remap it to windows soft key via xbutton, I personally shut x button down & use utask wich give same windows softkey mapping but also adds another soft key that can be mapped for short & long press.

As for end/power key best option I found at moment is replacing EndKey.exe with mortscript autorun.exe renamed to EndKey.exe & the script linking to whatever program you like.

I got Quick shutdown replacing Quick List which is what I wanted as ROM default is a mess as is all duplicate files of Quick Shutdown in Windows folder.

Could do with removing those files & checking Quick Shutdown program folder files as they have been corrupt in every 29007 & last 29008 ROM I tested, 23699 is ok in this respect.

Not tested 29017 yet as 23699 runs well & is only version that runs my Thai/English language tool without screen freeze & my guess is 29017 will be much same as 29008 :-/ will wait for a changelog or some more user opinions.

I've noticed that Opera crashes are getting more frequent with the latest Cookie ROM (Mar 15).

Sometime after browsing the web the menu buttons and address bar seem to disappear.

The first screenshot shows what the browser looks like when the buttons have disappeared. The second show what happens if I try to use the back button and the third shows what happens just after I've clicked on a link.

Does anyone else seem to have this problem?

I'm using Opera10 on the latest release dinik Mar15. No issues with it at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Yes Opera 10 ran OK for me too on 29017 dinik but my English/Thai software did not.

Plus a few too many freezes of cookie have helped my decision to go back to 23699 as this was more stable & had better software compatibility for me.

I don't know which version of WP7 you tried and from whom, but the version 7008 I downloaded (February update) is awesome! I'm really enjoying the speed with which I can navigate around the menus.

I do miss having to leave behind my Pocket Quicken and the ability to sync directly with Outlook. But for Outlook, I've have an alternative using Google Sync App with a Gmail acct to sync my contacts and calendar. Even the contact photos all transferred, as well as, all of my recurring appts and annual reminders.

I agree with you in some respect about MS dropping the ball with WP7. They totally ignored the need for people to sync with their Outlook setups. Instead, they decided to go with the Zune interface and is going alienate a lot of business users away from WP7 phones. Maybe they will wise up and fix this situation and distribute an Outlook Connector for WP7. This is like the situation with Office 2010...where they never provided a conduit for Office 2010 64-bit setups. Thus, people who can and wanted to install 64-bit versions of Office were forced back to 32-bit software in order connect with WM 6.5.

I also miss having direct access to my phone's storage and all the neat tools provided by NRG on WM. I guess in due time with research I will be able to find all the tools I'll need to customize my phone under WP7.

My HD2 TMOUS is now officially on WP7 and I am able to access and download from Marketplace, run updates, and even sideload apps outside of Marketplace. The best thing about the whole thing is I just called up Microsoft and asked for an activation code...voila, presto...they provided me a code no questions asked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Colossus_r's remark wasn't about performance.

I do think too it's fast, responsive, ergonomic and has a good potential... Provided it survives.

Don't forget DVD HD standard was better than Blueray, but still lost the competition. It's not because it was good it finally survived and sold well !

If WP7 doesn't sell, it won't survive, and will just burry Microsoft hand-held systems.

Just look at that : no need to comment, OK ?

Colossus just exposed what I think too about WP7 : a nice box with nothing inside.

Look at Android : it's fast and pleasant to use too, and I'm sure setting up the underneath Linux system won't be accessible to standard users as well, but at least, it communicates, it can open Office documents right out of the box (I'm using an SD build, too)...

So according to the graphics above, what would make people go for WP7 instead of Android ?

The only feature that kept people with Windows mobile up to now was : professional use.

Remove that, and what will stay ? Almost nothing !

Now of course, software is beginning to come to WP7. But it's just as Colossus said : it's just a cheap-looking iPhone bis.

Most of the effort to catch people has been (and will be) done by makers. They make phones with nicer screens, fast processors, and so on... And Microsoft sits here doing nothing, and even forbidding to enhance the interface.

Let's face it : who did most to keep WM alive these past years ? Only HTC, with TouchFlo and Sense. It's obvious.

Fortunately, HTC didn't all bet on WP7. They were the first to release Android phones, and they certainly congratulate themselves everyday not having put all their efforts in Microsoft's OSes.

Actually, they even did so much effort to save Windows Mobile that they really not deserve Microsoft forbidding them to customize WP7's UI. It's just ungratefulness IMO.

Anyway, Microsoft really has to do something to transform their useless toy into a tool, or I'm not sure it will survive year 2011.

HTC is even so much bored they serioulsy intend to develop their own OS - and nobody will thell them what to do or not to do, this time !
