Stop blaming HTC for giving him these options. If you hacked the phone, you violated the warranty agreement. It says it right in the agreement. It also says it in the EU agreement with Windows Mobile. Claiming ignorance does not mean you're not responsible.

I feel bad for the OP, but these people yelling at the companies because of their own ignorance is just plain stupid.

Thank you for the Mazda joke, freak4dell, it's needed here.

And by the way, them folding when you lawyer-up is not because you're right, it's because they just don't want to deal with your stupidity. Trust me on this one. It's just that $300 isn't worth the hassle of dealing with you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xcesivemastub8ah:
it's because of people like this that companies do what they do. i take it you and freak4dell have never heard of the magnuson-moss warranty act enacted in the US in 1975? it states that a dealer MUST PROVE that aftermarket equip,emt caused the need for repairs BEFORE IT CAN DENY WARRANTY COVERAGE. Like I said: in a court you don't have to prove you didn't break it. They have to prove you did. proof of burden is on them not you. Just because your ps2 has a sticker that says "if you open the system your warranty is void" does NOT mean they can deny you. Here in the USA those warranties are NOT legal. Is that really so hard to understand/believe? "they wrote in on a piece of paper so it's gotta be true..." that's not how warranty laws work. trust me on this one ...

EDIT:here you go. because of my stupidity i decided to save you some trouble edmunds.com/advice/warranties/articles/153526/article.html check out the part about aftermaret parts and tell me you still believe waht you just wrote about "It's just that $300 isn't worth the hassle of dealing with you"...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xcesivemastub8ah:
As simple as I can put it: warranties are for the protection of the CONSUMER. NOT the company. In order for a company, as big as it may be, to deny a warranty THEY have to prove that what you did broke it. They have to prove your sw broke it. That you opening it caused the hd to fail. It's on them. Not you. When a warranty says it's voided if you open it it means if they can prove that you opening it broke it then, and only then, they can deny you. Get it? I don't care what you've been told all your life... You can't catch a cold by standing naked in cold weather.. And companies can't deny warranty without proving that your action directly caused a product to break.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andypa1:
Rory to be quite frank, the Mazda analogy is utter b***ocks.

If I modified my brand new mazda's ECU and the exhaust fell off, I would request proof that the ecu remap had done such a thing.

However I feel my situation is closer to modifying an ECU and the door not shutting properly. Totally unrelated sections of the car.

xcesivemastub8ah thank you so much for your post and support. Im going to be forwarding the information to HTC as well as alot of other demands.

Many thanks guys

I have read that flashing is possible from the sd card but it wasn't for a TP2 and I couldn't tell you if it was for SPL but you never know.

Good luck !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] duke_stix:
you couldn't really flash the spl from sd card as far as im aware

however

if it is just the usb port that is broken this is a VERY easy fix

get HTC to return the handset to you, take it down to any WELL ESTABLISHED/EXPERIENCED/LONG RUNNING phone repair shop, go to the trouble of purchasing from ebay the bog standard HTC EXT-USB header and ask the dude in the shop if he's willing to change your's for you for about 20quid or so, even if he charges you 30/40 still much cheaper than the 160 HTC want

and yes, you should have returned it to stock SPL/ROM prior to sending it but whatever the reason you couldn't so lets stopop the flaming guys and get back on topic.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/htc-tytn-2-II...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item23046ccd06

that is the identical 'HTC EXT USB' that should be in your device

good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
You have a point.

ALL electrical devices sold in the EU have to have a 2 year manufacturers warranty by law. It's what exactly this law covers that matters here.

Obviously you're not running some 90s Linux distro where it was very possible to damage your hardware with the software. I'd be very supprised if any software a TP2 could run would be able to physically damage it. And you haven't opened it up physically to damage it.

If I bought a PC and took Windows off it and put an alternative operating system on it and the motherboard blew then I do believe that although they have no obligation to sort out my software worries they would be bound by law to fix it.

They have admitted to you that you have a hardware issue, so if I were you I'd be on the Google checking out the exact letter of the law. It's common for companies to either be ignorant of or try to dodge their responsibilities but when you make it obvious you know what you're talking about they'll soon change their tune.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rorytmeadows:
Let me guess, you're a union rep or steward? Unions were great for the country in the 1910s, but now they are a waste and just the last defense for moronic employees.

Just a lesson to counter your Nixonification of this thread. Big business is not out to get you. I guarantee a folding is not due to lawyers looking into one case from a random Joe. It's because they just don't want to deal with it. Lawyer fees are expensive, especially when you are not on-staff and on a contract-basis. A good supervisor sees someone complain like that and just say, ugh and give in. If you want to threaten a lawsuit every time to get a deal, some may say you know your stuff. Some may say that you're ruining this country with frivolous use of the law.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
Ok - I had a quick look and I think it might come down to how long you've owned your TP2

The warranty supplied by the manufacturer and the warranty they have to supply by law are two different things. You may have broken the manufacturers warranty but you are still protected by law.

UK government website covering this :

http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html

Q6 says it's the trader and not the manufacturer that you should be dealing with as the trader was acting as an agent for the manufacturer.

Q13 says that if you've owned the device for less than 6 months then the trader will have to prove the device wasn't faulty when it was first sold (yeah right !)

Q3 says you have 6 years from the time of discovery of the fault (which can be proved by your first contact with HTC) to take your case to court - if needs be

This is with respect to the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

As for the SPL thing, I think Q13 above covers that. I also found the following with respect to running a XBOX on Linux, which I would say is similar enough :

http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/FAQ#Will_I_lose_my_warranty_when_running_Linux.3F

Basically get in touch with the company your bought the TP2 from with the details above on screen and quote them.

Hope this helps

Edit :

It also seems that these rights have been extended :

http://www.bitterwallet.com/exercise-your-eu-consumer-rights/12447

This suggests that "Q13" has been strengthened to 2 years

Edit2 :

Yes - the EU law is binding - you have 2 years and if the trader you bought it from says otherwise you are within your rights to start legal proceedings against them, although I have been in situations like this before (Distance Selling laws) and they have quickly "seen the light".

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ARBSM:
Hi there,

I am using a shipped t-mobile rom (1.56.114.4) basically of its stability. For the second time in 3 days my power button, as well as the auto switch to landscape when i open the keyboard don't work anymore. I know from last time that factory resetting solves this issue, but to be honest, i don't feel like factory resetting every 3 days. Does anyone know if this is a known issue, hard or software? I could try another rom, but i wanted to hear your thoughts first.

Thanks

BR
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] j101399j:
#1, this should be posted in the thread for that ROM; did you check that thread to see if other have had the issue (don't answer that question, is is more to make a point)?

#2; have you tried a different rom? Since hard-reseting it fixes, most likely it is not hardware

[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I take it you didn't use this account when you initially set up your phone? There often seem to be issues if you tie your phone to a Gmail account after it has already been setup.

Try making a Nandroid backup, wiping, and then when you get into the setup wizard log in using the Gmail account you setup. If it doesn't help, you can always roll back to your Nandroid backup.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] elainecullum:
Please make this easier for me

Dave, thanks for replying, could you please give me a step by step of what I need to do.

This is all very new to me and don't know all the jargon!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
Ok. Dave is suggesting that you use a utility (to back up data before you do the big wipe!) - but this requires that you have gotten around some basic protections of a new phone - which I'm going to assume that you haven't (i.e you haven't gold-carded your phone or rooted it - if you don't know what this means, then you haven't done it ;)).

In simple terms, you need to wipe all the setup data for your phone and start again with the configuration process. So when you first started the phone, it took you through steps to set up your phone information. As part of that, you would have been asked for your Google account login details. Since you created your Google account after you did all this, unfortunately, this kind of screws the phone in trying to establish it's Google credentials with the Google Market. So you need to clear your phone and reconfigure it - this time entering your Google account details as part of the set up.

In order to do a factory reset (clear all data on your phone):

1/ Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds

2/ While being switched off, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)

3/ Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.

4/ Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.

5/ Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

Instructions with GSM Hero

Instructions for CDMA/Sprint Hero - Hard reset

The instructions should be the same but I provide both for completeness.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Bluehawk is correct - I've rather worked on the assumption that you've at least applied a custom recovery image to your phone in order to make a Nandroid backup.

The reason I suggested the backup was purely so you could roll back to your previous setup if my advice didn't work. If you don't have a Nandroid capable recovery image on your phone, the point is rather moot anyway.

Follow Bluehawks instructions to factory reset your phone - you will lose anything you had on it but you should at least be able to get onto the Market.

Regards,

Dave

Anyone seen the Eclair 2.1 News and Weather App backport for 1.6? It's included in Dwang 1.15 and it is pretty awesome IMO.

Edit; i can confirm this (wm6 one) works, when you open the firs swf after install youll have to browse to where u installed it (id recommend install in phone, then itll be in 'the program dir'/adobe/appzone) if it starts fullscreen (like most flashlite swf's do) hold your finger on the screen a couple of secs for menu, youll have to turn off fullscreen in same menu to be able to quit the player, kinda strange, but on the bright side it actually quits, instead of minimizes

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
My phone backs up and resets overnight, and I woke up this morning to check email etc and noticed that the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone were all acting funny.. End key doesn't beep, send key didn't open the dialer, Okay button didn't close the current window.. then I found the PTT key didn't do anything either.. However, the Windows key DOES!

Hosed around for a while, launched AEButtonPlus to check it out, reset a few times, yanked the battery, etc.... Nothing. So I went back into AEButtonPlus to see what happens if I add a button and hit the Phone button and it pops up 00ED. Weird.. So I went looking into the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys entries, looks fine as far as I can tell... Got curious and launched the Buttons preference, looks okay in there, except strangely the last screen for holding the End button has *no* selection, normally it has the two radio options, with more radio options below the second one, none selected..

So then I exit back out of the Buttons apps and are hosing around and find the buttons are magically working again. Soft reset, etc, all is fine!?

AEButtonsPlus got confused?? Nope, at some point I removed it from Startup and soft reset, was the same. And now that it's working again, all my settings in it are fine.

I am using QuickMenu attached to the Win key, so perhaps why that kept working?

Very strange.. At least it's back now, and I (think?) I know a workaround if it happens again, launch the Buttons preference.

This ever happened to anyone else?

[Palm Treo Pro] PJonDevelopment:
Geetings All...

I've just got my brand new Unbranded Palm Treo Pro and it came with Windows Mobile 6.1 pt-BR and I want to update to 6.5.

As a software developer veteran the first thing I want is to do a backup of the whole thing in case of anything goes wrong.

Reading the older posts at this forum I've managed to dump the whole ROM, following the steps I've found on this thread.

Reading further I found a Kitchen along with the ROM with WM6.5 which I believe is what I want.

However, before I flash my phone I want to convert the ROM dump into something that I can flash back in case something bad happens... you never know.

How do I do this? I couldn't find among the plethora of information on this site a way to convert from the RAW files to an usable flashing mechanism.
