ahhh!

did you ever find a fix?? i'm having the same problem
[G1 General] r4d14n7:
Your Home key isn't stuck is it? If you only press Back while you're in recovery, does the phone reboot, or do you HAVE to press Home + Back? It's a longshot, but that would be an epic facepalm if I may say so myself.
[G1 General] Klong4:
Im pretty much having this same problem, i cant even get into shell via adb, I get a "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error. another error that i am getting is the E:Can't read MISC: (no space on device) in the recovery console, and i read that the MISC partition contains boot information. i would really like to find a solution to this as i have been looking for a few months now.

Just use this^

The downgrading part should restore you back to stock 1.0

My belief is that if you screw up restore to stock 1.0 and redo everything :P

If you gave us a bit more detail though we might find a easier method for you
[G1 General] buttered_popcorn:
Thanks, my friend got the phone with a broken screen and all it does its boot to the screen with the exclamation point on it.

Followed the guide in your link to downgrade the firware. We get stuck on the step to boot into bootloader. Holding camera and power just gets us to recovery (screen with exclamation) not into bootloader. After messing around a bit I found that if I hold "home" and "back" and then press power it SOMETIMES goes into bootloader. When I do get into bootloader nothing works to flash the .nbh file. By nothing works i mean no buttons work at all to flash or to cancel.
[G1 General] frankdrey:
Than its a hardware problem

The buttons are broken

You can try take it apart and look inside, but it sounds like it's totalled.

[G1 General] sandy_nocturnal:
Same issue but a little more twisted

I tried flashing my G1 and it bricked(Soft Brick).

Somehow by luck I flashed the DREAIMG.nbh and have a stock phone now.

But the problem is I cant pass the Stratup screen because I get no network.

Unable to connect to the internet as well.

I tried the orange DREAIMG.nbh which bypasses the startup screen, even thought i come to the Home screen i get no network.

It gives an Error while trying to search for a Network.

When i try to flash any update.zip files it gives an error

E: No Signature

E: Verification Failed

Installation aborted.

When I enter the Recovery mode i get a error line saying " E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Any run around to this??? Is this by any chance a Hardware issue?
[G1 General] demkantor:
I doubt it, what recovery do you have? Also with the spl you know have just use fastboot flash for you roms, your error rate will be down to nothing
[G1 General] sandy_nocturnal:
Its a Android System recovery utility, I cant get to the home screen also becuase i have no connectivity to get past the the Google sign in screen...

I tried the Fastboot but have no idea how to go with it!!

Need some help with it...
[G1 General] demkantor:
There are plenty of fastboot how tos amoung these threads here, otherwise go straight to the sdk website and there will be plenty of options, on my phone now so I can't walk you through it well. Pretty much download the sdk package to your comp and then make sure all the proper drivers are downloaded. Either change the variables in your device manager or open a cmd in the folder where fastbooot is located. You can also just change directories to get there. Put the files you need in the same folder as fastboot. Plug in your phone with it in hboot mode and you should see fastboot usb show up. The do fastboot -w then fastboot flash for whatever rom you need. Check the toutorials it will be more help

Adding programs to 2.1 isn't just modifying the Home tab LUA code.

It's doing a whole lot of modifications, and then off course The manila vesion could also just not have support for this.

I think one of the best candidates for this would be Dman, as he already made some extreme Manila modification.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariqa3588:
solution for your problem

Hey guys,

I had the same problem with my HD2, and here is the solution to your problem:

download and install mobidiv arabizer 454, this is the latest version, and it works on most if not all ROMs. After you install it, half of your phone will be in arabic, and half in english as you've mentioned. to Fix that, go to your start menu on your phone, and go into arabware app. Under the control tab, select English with arabic enabled (control tab might sh.ow like this ????? before you do this step) but anyway, it is the second tab from the right. Do this and restart your phone. This should take care of everything except for the date. Go into the arabware app again, and under country tab, select english US, hit ok and restart again and you'll be all sit.

these 2 steps have to be done separately.

The only issue you MIGHT have with some ROMs after you do this, is reading/typing arabic text msgs or emails. This is not because mobidiv does not work, this will be because your ROM does not have arabic font in it. To get this fixed please do the following which I'll explain briefly and you can email me if you need more details:

go to the fonts folder on your PC, found under c:/ >> windows >> fonts.

copy the font Calibri and the fot Tahoma (I think thats what its called) and make a cab file for each one. Copy them onto the external memory on ur windows mobile phone, and install... and Arabic will work perfect.

This might seem like a long process but its pretty easy.

Good luck, and sorry for the super late reply Im not here very often,

I hope you guys get to see this

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norwees:
Sorry i dont usually post questions unless ive exausted all other options and im usually pretty good at following direction and making things work.

Now ive already done all that before posting my question, i got the phone to have the arabic program which turned the phone to arabic until i switched it back to english with arabic enabled and country to us.

Now i can read arabic on my phone on some programs but sms are squares (already had the sms fix installed last). Also, when previewing my emails i see squares but when i open the email i can see the arabic. so im guessing my phone is missing system fonts that why i asked for them.

Ive managed to make it work before with another rom pretty easily, im using chucky rom and i read somewhere that if all previous downloads didnt work its probably the rom is missing the fonts.

any help is much appreciated i really like the chucky rom and would like to continue using it.

Its as simple as downloading an existing theme, or even the stock one, and changing/overwriting the files in the System/App/Launcher, and Framework.apks and any other apps .apks you want to change. Only change the image files (jpg or png) in each "Drawable folder." .9.png files are different, look for the thread on those. I use Photoshop but any image editing program should work, whatever u use, then drag the modified files back into the theme.zip and resign and flash.

[HD2 General] snerkler:
HI,

I keep reading questions about ROM and flashing the phone, can someone explain what ROM is and flashing the phone please? I have tried search on this forum and get no answers. I have googled ROM and it tells me that it is a permanent storage chip, but if that's the case how come there are upgrades and why do people talk about erasing them?

Also, I've read that in the UK only ROM upgrades supplied by the service provider are allowed without invalidating warranty. If that's the case does this mean that you can't fiddle/tweak the phone without losing the warranty, or is there still plenty of tweaking you can do?

Finally, with UK phones can you still use apps and cabs from sites like this or would that invalidate warranty as well?

Cheers
[HD2 General] snerkler:
34 views and no answers????
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Technically a ROM chip is just that- a Read Only Memory chip that holds fixed information.

In Windows Mobile (and general phone) terms, the ROM has come to mean the software (or firmware) that is loaded into the ROM chip. So, for the HD2, if you look in Device Information you will see a ROM version. For release this was 1.43, but HTC have since released V1.48 and there are some engineering samples of V1.61 around as well.

Flashing the phone means the process of installing a new ROM image into the ROM chip. Official versions are executed using a ROM Update Utility (RUU) while the phone is connected to the PC, but 'cooked' versions are more often executed from the memory card.

In general, you can only update the ROM with one designed for that phone unless you make some changes to the BIOS, which involves installing a sub-program called Hard SPL. Once that is installed, you can then update the phone with any compatible ROM. Currently there is no Hard SPL available for the HD2, but the specialists are working on it :)

In the meantime there is a workaround to allow the loading of official ROM images from other locales or operators, but again this needs some specific changes being made to the memory card from which it is loaded.

The warranty situation is far from clear. Technically you should only update a device with a ROM image supplied by the operator, or by HTC if it was bought SIM free; however, the HD2 has been supplied pretty much the same as SIM free models by Vodafone and O2. Vodafone contradict themselves in their advice- one paragraph says you can install an 'official' update, but another paragraph says you can't.

Installing cooked ROMs (when they become available) would definitely invalidate any warranty.
[HD2 General] Pantaloonie:
Think of the ROM as the operating system of the phone. Both the software itself and the memory chips it is stored on are called ROM, but when you see people discussing ROMs here they will generally mean the software. So the software ROM (ie operating system) is stored on the phones ROM (ie Read Only Memory). It's called read only, but it's not - it can be erased and a new software ROM flashed to it.

If you bought your phone from a service provider, they will have locked the ability to upgrade the ROM, to ensure that you can only install official upgrades issued by them. This is why many people are waiting for Hard SPL to be completed, as it removes this lock. However, you can tweak your phone and and install as much software as you want without affecting your warranty.

You can install all the apps and cabs you like without affecting your warranty. A simple hard reset will always return the phone to its 'fresh out of the box' state.

Installing HardSPL and custom roms will invalidate your warranty, but tweaks and cab files won't.

edit - Neil, you beat me to it :p
[HD2 General] omneity:
My previous phone, an O2 Xda Orbit 2 had a custom ROM and was twice repaired under warranty without problem or question from O2, although both these were hardware related problems.
[HD2 General] Pantaloonie:
I guess you were lucky - many people have had their warranty voided by HTC and/or a telco for having custom firmware installed.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Many thanks for the advice, very helpful :D
