anyone with some help it 11:30PM here i'm hoping to get this done before i go to work @ 5AM :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
what your computer is trying to tell you is that it can not find the file "asroot2". make sure it is in the same directory where you try to execute the command, or give it an absolute path like this:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push c:\whatever\asroot2 /data/local/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICO187:
ok thanks

i'll have another go :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
mind telling us the result?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICO187:
all done :)

after chmod 4775 su (then hit enter)

do i do anything else to save ? or just unplug the USB all done ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICO187:
it helps if i do this :D

1. Download the following file and then unzip

it.

AsRoot2

2. Take the unzipped file and save it into the Tools folder of your AndroidSDK.

after chmod 4775 su (then hit enter)

do i do anything else to save ? or just unplug the USB all done ?

Hi - if anyone could help....

I found, and i stress FOUND this phone....looks like it came out of someones window while they were driving....its a bit worse for wear, case is cracked etc etc. But i thought id get a battery for it and it powers up but comes up with the phone lock. There's no name on it and there was no sim in there ( i can only presume it came out when it hit the ground) - is there any way i can unlock it....? thought it would be a nice phone to just mess around with....

Thanks to anyone that helps...

To do a hard reset.

Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.

Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.

When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.

Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.

and the phone is like new..

* you have just hard reset the device..

after that download this USPLcmon and do as i say mate and you can flash any of the p3300 roms to the device and have more fun.lol

* put the two .cab files on your device and run them. (winrar/zip files)

* get activesync connection

* run dos window

* soft reset after 100% to get activesync connection.

- only when the rom update utility window opened on pc..

* uspl cmon rom update utility.

***ONLY after doing uspl is it safe to flash a rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] parasexas:
hey everybody. i have flashes 1.48 WWE rom to my O2 UK device and i am happy with it, but as title sais i'm a bit confused where is origin of these ROM's. htc.com and htc.com/europe haven't got it on the website and this is a place to go for oficial stuff. there's no any soft/ROM updates availible on oficial website, so it makes me think somebody inside stole it and spread on web. any ideas. apologise if stated somethhing wrong.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] barbapappa_86:
I guess that it comes from O2 (Or HTC, O2 dosnt make the ROM by there selfs ofc). There might be some leaks from HTC also..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kholk:
If the ROMs aren't on htc's website, they're leaked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dmitry N:
I would also add that, if they're not on the official web site within a week or so after they were "leaked", this means HTC have read a lot of bad stuff about those ROMs here, on xda, and are preparing an update ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Those official ROMs are unofficially leaked for free beta testing by this excellent community:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Steve0007:
I bought my Leo with 1.48.

All the latest devices have 1.48 in them.

So it is not "leaked" but official in all latest Leo devices
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] parasexas:
yeah rigth!!!! so where the hell xda-dev's and htcpedia get it from before it has been posted in official HTC website lol??????????? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sabes143:
I Think some of the latest batch release devices shipped with 1.48 roms
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thanas:
did htc feel ashamed to release it themselves with all these bugs:P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] parasexas:
question wasn't is new devices comes with 1.48....lol!!!!!!!

question was where the hell xda-dev's & hctpedia get before OFFICIAL HTC SUPORT web site???!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
An official ROM that very often fails to install on unbranded hardware for many people and has to be hacked to install and even then is not guranteed to work! If thats a fully released official update God help us all!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomasz:
Very often fails to install on unbranded hardware? If you're trying to update to another localisation, maybe... If the Sip is the same, installation should be flawless.

The Danish version of the 1.48 version is available through HTC's official Danish support site. Other language versions are not. The reasons for that are unknown to me, but I guess the Danish shipped version may have had one or more bugs that the other versions may not have?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
don't ask stupid questions, you wont get stupid answers ;p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
Many people are doing it with the same localisation on unbranded devices and it fails. There have been a number of reports of 2 identical scenarios where it works for one person but not another. Some also, myself included, cannot get the phone to update even with the Gold Card method! The updates are claimed to be official and yet they don't work consistently!? I cannot vouch for all of them all being authentic but the Danish one would certainly seem to be, as that is on the official HTC web site for Denmark. Thus common sense would suggest if one is they all are, which begs the question why are so many people having the same problems? That is the real question and no one seems to have a real answer. Workarounds are all well and good and to be respected, if they work of course, but ultimately we need to address the fundamental issue of why so many people are experiencing the same issue when they are doing things correctly. At no stage has that question been answered. In fact it is barely even asked which I find alarming.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
th3 updates are official.. you're problem is that you're trying to do something that HTC don't want you to..

Gold card isn't official, that is *YOUR* problem here, not the roms!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
Excuse me!

HTC don't want you to update your device with an officlal ROM update!!?? I am only trying to go from 1.43.405.1 to 1.48.405.2. Thats from WWE English to WWE English on an unbranded device. Please explain in accurate and precise detail what is invalid about that! Additionally why does it work for some and not others with the exact same scenario? Why should I even need to use the Goldcard method in the first place is my question and as stated before that has not been answered!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
excuse yourself. good god dont be so rude!

you cleary stated you can't do it with gold card..

*that* is not supported by htc.. I never said htc don't want you to update the normal and correct way using the ruu.

I was going to offer too help you with flashing,but it I really can't be bothered with that kind of attitude.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
Aplogies

No offence was intended. So please excuse me. Any help would be greatly appereciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] parasexas:
hey. i had problem with flashing shipped roms. 2 tihngs i've done diferent thet TUT sais.

1. i changed SD cards serial number first to digits to 00 (zero,zero)

2. last coulple steps didn.t work for me so i launched RUU.exe on PC and that worked fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] parasexas:
whatch your own language mate!!! man asked simpliest question could be here!!!!

Why shipped ROM's dodn't work on AN unbranded devices normal way????

i asked why it doesn't exsists on OFFICIAL HTC SUPORT website!

there is no stupid questions you stupid man!!! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
Now this gets really interesting!

HTC have just published a hotfix\update for the camera. That is available on the UK web site and I am pleased to report it does what it says and couldn't be easier to install.

However, that is not the end of the story. Desite being released later than the 1.48 ROM the 1.48 ROM is still only available in Denmark and does not appear on the UK web site. Additionally it states quite clearly that the ROM image must be 1.6.0 or lower? So now I am really starting to wonder what is going on?

Quoted direct from HTC:

Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.60.XXX.X, or lower.

Anyone got any idea what exactly is going on here please?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
PS

Apologies. I have just seen 1.48 has appeared on most HTC offical sites now apart from ones that are for English from what I see at a quick glance. Thus UK, Hong Kong etc have not got it. It is on the general Europe site but English is not included and the one from the Europe site won't validate from their site for my device. That would be what I would expect to be honest as English is not listed an available language in the readme. It thus seems that there is an issue with the WWE English update. Would be really nice to know what it is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tsy0716:
There must be some guys from HTC. These guys do their job to lease the official rom b4 HTC puts it on its official support site. Just like what the Microsoft did about Win7. Lol!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paul-Lemonidis:
At least Windows 7 doesn't have to be hacked to install it. It even comes with alternative language packs!

Hi,

I've gone and stupidly sat on my phone and now the LCD screen has a dark patch in the middle of it.. :(

I've tried gently rubbing which reduces the patch temporarily and also heating up with a hairdryer completely removes the patch, but also temporarily...

I think final solution is to tear down and replace the screen, does anyone have any suggestions on where I can purchase a replacement screen? Or where I can obtain one at all?

Thanks a lot :)
[HD2 Accessories] Fantastica:
I think you should send it to HTC for repair... might cost more than trying to repair it yourself, but trying to repair it yourself could lead to disaster if you don't know what you're doing. Much better to have a professional repair it.
[HD2 Accessories] Jack E:
I have exactly the same problem :-O
[HD2 Accessories] Jack E:
Have been looking around here and i believe this is the same problem as we have, He fixed it with a sucktion cup so may as well try that :P

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462102&page=13&=#122
[HD2 Accessories] knightpants:
Thanks for the link mate. I will try the suction cup idea also and see if it works.

I have called HTC to find out about repair, they said (I'm in the UK), that they will send UPS to come collect and then they will give me a quote, it can take about 5 days to repair if I agree with the quote and £20 to send back to me... But they couldn't give me a better idea on price, although he said because the phone is new it would likely cost "a bit"...

I'll look for a couple more days for alternatives to fixing then it could be heading off to HTC :(
[HD2 Accessories] knightpants:
well the suction cup didn't work for me, tried to use a hoover as well :D .... all starting to sound rather kinky. ;)

Will be sending off to HTC instead now. Thanks a lot anyway. :)

I did the same thing Xmas day and I ended up with a patch in the middle just like the photo I've seen in the thread linked earlier in this thread

after the initial shock thinking I'd broke it already, on closer inspection it looked as if I'd squeezed the liquid out of it so I thought why not squeeze it back?

all I did was press from the outside of the screen using 2 fingers either side of the spot and then quite firmly squeeze towards the spot. I did this in a circular motion around the spot thus forcing the liquid back into the centre. Eventually it was OK after a few directed squeezes and it had completely vanished so imagine my relief :cool:

probably a bit late now, gently rubbing as the original poster didn't work for me as that's what I did initially. Eventually I was brave and used some force but not enough to create more spots, just enough to force the spots away again and fixed it completely :D

Hello evrybody!

i search since few days how to move the icons in the start menu page, on an HTC official wm6.5 ROM.

Is it possible?

I found how to change 3 to 4 or five colomns, but not how to move an icon upper, bowner, under another...

I've just the possibility (like all of you I suppose) to move 1 icon on the first line.

I think i'ts possible on sense 2.5

Thanks for answer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] calvin998:
If you press and hold an icon, a pop up menu (with only 1 option) will appear. You can click that to move it to top. I'm using sense 2.1 in 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
No, the version of Sense has nothing to do with whether you can move icons on the start menu around. The only intuitive method of moving icons around exist in the 23xxx builds of WM, which are still pretty unstable. The best option for you would be to use a program like this.

Hi guys,

How to add youtube to the "Exceptional EXEs list" as we don't have a browse option? :confused: :confused:
[HD2 General] DinoZ1:
no answer...

Am I the only one to have this specific need :(
[HD2 General] DinoZ1:
Solution

I'd like to share the solution I got...

In the exceptional list (advanced option) when you wand to add a new Exe:

1. Select "+"

The device's "Program files" folder is shown by default.

2. Click the arrow on the bottom left

this is not a "Back" icon ;) (this is where I mistaken)

3. Browse your phone

4. Select the application of your choice

Enjoy :D

[HD2 General] Megacamz:
Hey guys, I love my HD2 but recently ive been having some terrible issues.

I text alot and it really irritates me that when i go to type a text it takes 30 seconds to allow me to do so, it will just be completely unresponsive for those 30 seconds.

Then also anytime i go to change the keys to " £ $ ? symbols and numbers it jumps the cursor back randomly so im still typing before i realise its typing in completely the wrong place.

Im also having the phone do random things without me letting it, it removed the lock screen by itself which i cannot get back and before that it was automatically changing the background and the weather service would randomly select strange citys?
[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
Hi,

sounds like things have gone askew, maybe if all else fails you can do a hard reset (ensuring you back up any data you need first).
[HD2 General] Joa:
That's the SMS load delay bug that has been discussed a lot on these forums. It occurs whenever you have more than a few messages from a person, and the phone tries to load all the old sms messages from that person, but it does it extremely slow. HTC may or may not be aware of it, the hotfix on their site for SMS doesn't seem to fix it. At the moment, your options are to delete SMS history, or to disable HTC Messaging and using Microsofts default SMS (requires regsistry hacking).

Some people have reported that they got an overly responsive screen, I would suggest you try and replace your phone (or simply return it like I did because you can never trust a SMS message has been sent when you send it with HTC Messaging, another bug without solution). The wether

services choosing odd cities might be because of yet another bug that fails to correctly pinpoint your location for the weather app.
[HD2 General] max1274:
I have this fault, and I think it started after the text messaging hotfix, I am going to uninstall; that fix and see if it solves the problem. Have you installed that fix?
[HD2 General] max1274:
Nope, that didn't fix it - is anyone else experiencing this? When I click on the ""12#" (symbol) hey, the cursor jumps back to a point earlier in the test message. Usually it jumps to the last place that I pressed that button.

This only occurs in the HTC SMS Messaging.

I uninstalled the SMS hotfix and restarted the phone but it's still occuring.
[HD2 General] espee77:
Got the same problem here with the cursor jumping back using "12#". I have installed all latest official HTC updates, but none have solved this problem. Really annoying ;(

Anyone got a workaround or custom fix for this?
[HD2 General] DexterDuck:
You can use myphone to back up and archieve your text messages regularly. This will then delete them off your phone but you can still access them on the web if you want to. Keeps the number of messages low and solves the delay problem.
[HD2 General] Masterslice:
Me too, i got the same problem! :(

The last thing i installed was the sim contact update.

But at the moment i dont know if i have the problem before that update..
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
to type immediately without the 30s delay, simply press send and then no then tap again and you should be able to immediately type.

I do also have the number/symbols bug and it annoys the hell out of me! would love anyone that could find a solution to this!
