[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SiemensLover:
Hallo,

i cooked many ROMs and every time i try to flash using SD Card (8GB), but without any sucess, it does not find any ROM to flash!

I renamed the cooked ROM to blacimg.nbh (also tried blackimg.nbh), copy to SD Card, Rebo0t into Bootloader mode (Power + Volume Down), it reboots and search for ROM then change to serial (usb)

I used search but no answer found

What am i doing wrong?

Thnax in Advance

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Which file did you rename to blacimg.nbh (that's correct and not blackimg.nbh)? Did you save it to the root of the sd card as suggested (although mine is in a folder and this also works)? Because the steps you are describing are correct and should work (work like that for me). The only thing I can think is that there is possibly something wrong with the file you are using. Is it one of your own cooked roms?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SiemensLover:
Thanx for ur reply

Yes, i cook my own clean ROMs, the ruu_signned.nbh is renamed to blacimg.nbh and is directly copyed to the root of my SD Card

I do not know what is wrong!

faced the same prob long time ago with a old 4 Gb card...no matter what i've did was not able to flash. However I sugest to reformat your sd card (FAT 32 and not on your pc/laptop, do it with your phone) and then try again after formating, altough it may not help. to be sure that you are not doing wrong try another SD card if possible.

Another option to check your self is flashing with ActiveSync after formating.

Good Luck

p.s. It seems this is happening often if you used your SD card in another device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alareth1976:
I'd a similar problem while flashing on my old P3300

To avoid the problem, I'm using a 1gb micro sd dedicate only to rom flashing but with a single partition of 256MB.

dunno if this could help u

cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zephyr:
I was having exactly same problem today when I tried to flash - mine's 8gb mini SD which came as a part of package from Orange, U.K.. I ended up using normal USB cable but I was wondering why it didn't work...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carl1971:
Fashing with some big SD >4gb could generate some issue. Use one small dedicated to that and format it first in Fat32.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zephyr:
Hi Carl, thanks for your advice - it actually worked like a charm. I didn't really thing 8gb would cause this problem. I used just a plain 2gb ScanDisk card, formatted in Fat 32 and put only blacimg.nbh following normal procedures - thank you very much again! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Swarvey:
My 2 cents

I had a similar problem not long ago with my 8Gb Micro SD that came with the card. I'd re-formatted it via the PC and altered the default settings based on a thread I read on here which was supposed to speed up access to the card. If I remember correctly it was changing the default allocation size.

Long story short, reformatted back to default settings and I was able to flash again from SD. IMO it's moreso the format of the card, not so much it's size as I never had a problem with flashing from card before tweaking it's format settings.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
SD Card

I always flash from my SD card.

My latest card is a 16Gb class4 SanDisk, and I must have flashed more than 50 times from this. I always put my blacimg.nbh file in the root of the card.

Size of the card is not important, it just have to be formated in FAT32.

There are several reports that some brands of card do not work very well with Windows Mobile.

One time I purchased a Kingston card that simply would not work.
[Nexus One General] ilanad:
Had the good old 3 key salute for the G1 (Green, Menu, Red) for a reboot, is there one for the N1? (scanned about and can't find a reference).
[Nexus One General] ojiikun:
Hold [VolDown]+[TrackballMiddle]+[Power] for 5 seconds. Will reboot without confirmation.

(discovered after a few minutes of experimenting. not sure if there are other ways or if this is really a "hard" reboot.)

[Nexus One General] midnite23:
I don't think you even have to hold it for 5 seconds.
[Nexus One General] ilanad:
Thank you, works nicely :)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
The volume always goes to silent whenever I do this... I guess I need to practice.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Very cool, thanks.

Just press them down in that order, when you hit the power one it should reboot automatically without having to hold it down for 5 secs
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
wow I never knew about this, very helpful thanks!
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Also did not know, do you lose any data, settings, or is like WM soft reset?
[Nexus One General] charkosh:
It's a reboot, not a wipe, you won't lose any information
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Nice this could be useful in the future.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
so this works even when phone is frozen right? Basically an alternative to a battery pull?
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
Coming from a BB, that's last thing I want to do ..a battery pull.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
haha yeah the startup time for a blackberry after a battery pull is amazing
[Nexus One General] OrganizedFellow:
This is neat.

I've got buddies asking to see the boot animation.

This makes is TOO EASY! jajaja
[Nexus One General] elio:
Are you aware of some application which can do a soft reset without going thru the buttons combination?
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
I just made a script in Gscript Lite which is literally just the command 'reboot' and then dropped a shortcut for that script on one of my home screens. I even used bettercut to give it a nice icon!

One touch reboot!

I have another as well which does 'reboot recovery' cos I like to flash roms and themes a lot :)
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
EDIT: Nvm, see above.
[Nexus One General] elio:
And where can we get those? :)
[Nexus One General] system6:
I want an app for this as well. If you reboot and hold the track button down to long it will take you to boot loader mode which my first Nexus one got stuck in and it plagued me with issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mape78:
Hello all, I would really appreciate some guidance on how to properly setup my syncing.

Today I sync my Hero (3G stock) with Outlook 2007 on my Win XP home computer with HTC sync, and also with my Exchange account at work (HTC sync -> Outlook on Mac via VMware). And of course the phone in its turn synchronizes with the Google cloud. And as an extra bonus I'm running Google Calendar Sync at the home computer. :D This goes for calendar and contacts, the mails I don't sync at all.

This results in having:

1. Multiple entries of every item, i.e on the phone I have one contact entry called "phone" and one duplicate called "Google" for every contact I have. Same for the calendar.

2. By syncing with 2 different computers I always gets some conflicts when doing the synchronization and I usually have to run every sync 2-3 times before it's complete.

Sorry for being unclear, would like to sort this out. How have you set it up? I thought about skipping the HTC sync at work and running only Google Calendar Sync, but it turns out my company's firewall is blocking this.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mape78:
Well, no response here, but for further reference I can write down that I have solved it so far by deleting all "Phone" items on the Hero and to sync the calendar with Google Calendar Sync, and for the contacts I use a service called Soocial (www.soocial.com) which seems pretty nice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] d1verjim:
Hi there,

Has anyone else noticed that when you have the phone set to use Auto Brightness adjustment, even when you are in a pitch black room the screen doesn't go as dim as if you manually adjust it to the dimmest setting.

Anyone know of a way round this?

Cheers,

James
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mastermarv:
try searching for Lumos.
[HD2 General] Gavinbat:
Hi,

Couple of things....

[Rant]

It's Bill's fault!

Active sync deletes calender entries from PC if they've been deleted from the phone, despite been set to update phone from pc if dispute????:mad:

Mobile Office is incompatible with standard office!

I bought a WM device so I could use documents from either on either! :rolleyes:

A customer sends a price list in xlsx format and the phone doesn't recognise it!:mad:

Simple things two windows machines should be able to do and they can't get it together!

Bill's name remains mud! [/Rant]

I don't suppose anyone ones of ways to sort this out without reformatting files? :confused:

Cheers,

Gavin :)
[HD2 General] bshakil:
Office Mobile Beta 2010

Did you try using Office Mobile 2010 Beta.. Its available in Microsoft Market for free..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
see the problem there is that you deleting something from the phone doesn't cause a dispute because the log will show that it was specifically deleted.

disputes are more along the line of editing the pc version and then editing the mobile version differently.in such a case active sync would overwrite the mobile version. not how you WANT it too work, but not technically a fault.

as for the file types....I have office 2004 and that doesn't support xlsx... unfortunately that doesn't count as a fault so I don't get a free upgrade.

Tweek - Get your client to send in normal, standard xls format that a half dozen different programs can understand.
[HD2 General] Gavinbat:
Hi,

I guess it's true what you're saying, but the latest Mobile office shouldn't have a problem with Office 2007 files.

There's a free update patch for the older versions of office from MS, I did my laptop last week :)

Pity there's not one for Mobile Office!

Cheers,

Gavin :)
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Mobile Office can handle Office 2007 files without problem. However, not all features are supported. It is documented on the MS site. Yes, you need to be careful when you carry a document over different platforms.
[HD2 General] Sallcho:
Hello,

I'm planning to buy a new HD2 locked to T-mobile on eBay. The question is, even if the seller gives me a receipt, won't HTC send me to T-mobile saying u bought it there, fix it there and T-mobile will say to me that I'm not a T-mobile costumer and will decline?

I mean if something happens and I'll need a warranty :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I'm pretty sure that yes, that would be the case. Mine is from O2, and if I put my serial into the htc website it says not today thank you.
[HD2 General] atlp99:
Yes

If you don't want to use the HD2 on T-Mobile you will have no warranty as you described.

If you are going to use the HD2 on T-Mobile then as long as the person you buy it from has not used it then your warranty will be good. The warranty is tied to the account that first uses the phone. The IMEI number on the phone registers with T-Mobile on the account it is first used on for warranty purposes, any warranty claims would go through T-Mobile on that account.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
Ok - first and most important - WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN?

EVERY country has diferent rules. For example, in the states you have almost no consumer protection but in the UK you have very strong consumer protection.

If you are in the UK I can certainly help you with this.
[HD2 General] Cavallipurosangue:
Hi guys I also have a T mobile locked HD2 bought on Ebay from UK; she is/was an uk T mobile customer. Now the phone is with me in Italy, what can I do to have it replaced?
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
Its not t-mobiles responsibilty. Under UK consumer law you return the device to the person/company who sold it to you and NOT the manufacturer. So, if you purchased the phone from t-Mobile, then you return to T-Mob, if you purchased from Fred Smith on Ebay, return to Fred Smith on Ebay.

The device is also expected to last for a reasonable lifetime without fault. In the case of mobiles, if they wish to sell them on 18/24 month contracts it should be reasonable for a phone to last 18/24 months.

First you need to contact them letter via recorded delivery post detailing the problem and asking them to fix or replace the device.
[HD2 General] gabbs:
return it to htc via t-mobile or directly to htc..

it's quite easy,i do this several times with items purchased on ebay that i returned to pc-world..

they have records that they sold the item as the item have a serial number..
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
If its Cavallipurosangue you are talking to this is very unlikely to work. T-Mobile will want to tie this up with the customer that they have and it won't.

Acer certainly wouldn't do this for me. I purchased a phone under a company contract (and therefor not covered by consumer rights) and it turns out that phone was already registered to someone else. Acer point blank refused to deal with me, almost claiming that I had stolen property.

In both cases, its NOT T-Mobiles responsibilty (in the eyes of UK Sales of Goods Act) and IF they do repair/replace, it will only be good will and out of there choice.

T-Mobile will have a "contract" (and i don't mean 12/24 month contract) with the buyer who would have been "Fred Smith" and no-one else, specialy not with the two posters here. The two posters have entered into a contract with the Ebay sellers and this is where ALL liability lays.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
The Sale of Goods act doesn't cover private sales, which are effectively 2nd user sales. It's a case of buyer beware unless the item is faulty from the outset.

In this case, 'Fred Smith' has a duty to accurately describe something he is selling, but once accepted by the new owner his liability ends, even if it was technically a sealed box sale.

HTC have accepted responsibility for these sort of warranty claims in the past under their pan-european warranty, but they have no legal obligation so to do.

If a foreign buyer buys a T-Mobile phone, and it later goes wrong, his only other option is to contact the seller and see if he will negotiate with T-Mobile as a goodwill gesture.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
heh - then they are royaly stuffed if anything goes wrong and depend entirley on the mood of the person they speak to at HTC at the time.

Simple then: If you want a warranty, don't buy from Ebay.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
That's about the size of it! So make sure you get a bargain!

[Touch Pro CDMA] vap3riley:
Currently I have a HTC Touch Pro with Sprint, the ROM has never been changed since I got it, I have modified many things about it but I have never gotten as deep as flashing ROM's. I'd like to do this without bricking my phone so I am sort of paranoid about being careful doing this.

Basically, I am canceling with Sprint and I want to change my ROM to work with the Verizon/Alltel network so I am able to activate it on the PagePlus network. I know there are many things to go through on this forum that probably answer my question.. but I don't know where to start.

Are there already instructions for this somewhere or could somebody give me some? Any help is appreciated.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You have to unlock your device before being able to flash a rom on it. The flashing and the transferring of the device to another carrier are two separate matters. If I were you (and considering that Verizon tech support are not the smartest, or the brightest), I would leave the device with the stock rom, take it to Verizon, have them add the device to their network, and then unlock and flash a new rom. I have a tutorial on how to flash to other roms (look in my signature), but do it only when you are ready.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] DaWinda:
Since now I have been very happy with WM and especially HTC. But now I discovered, my contact not showing correct on incoming Messages or calls.

What I mean in detail is, that my Numbers are saved to the Phone only by using a Number like: +49179123456.

My Problem is, that now my incoming Messages from saved contacts do not show the Name, because in this case the message is obviously sent by 0170123456. The only way, for now, is to save contacts twice. I already searched the forum and found similar Threads, but none of them could help.

It`s not a huge problem but a little annoying and i would be very thankful if somebody could point me in the right direction.

What are the the chances of porting HTC Sense to the nexus one from a developers perspective?

I don't believe this has been done for the development for topaz, rhodium etc but could this be possible in the future, especially with the HTC bravo that looks to have similar specs?
[Nexus One General] stogchris81:
You can check one of the few existing threads on this topic. And since it is yet to be developed, you will probably find those threads in the general nexus one forum.
[Nexus One General] trovatrice:
Uploaded a couple of .pdf files from my desktop to the SD card.

Can't seem to find a way to see the file directory. (Not rooted)

Do I need an app for that? (If so, which one?)

Can I bring it up in Dolphin or Chrome browser, and if so, what is the Path?

Should I have loaded the .pdf into a sub-directory on the SD card? If so, what should I name it?

TIA for any suggestions.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
I've been using a program called androzip as a file explorer... just find the file you want and open it
[Nexus One General] trovatrice:
Thanks!

I evenually made a sub-directory on the SD card and put the .pdf in it, and download a .pdf app... which then found the file, but only once it was moved to the sub-folder.

I'm still curious to know what path to use to locate/open a local file in a browser...

Thanks.

Hey... I found a really cool recording studio app called Meteor

I installed the demo cab and it works like a charm (you just can't save your work on the demo version).

I'm amazed what our little phones are capable of doing. By the way... this is the first application I've seen where pinch to zoom is a real necessity. In fact... I always have it maximum zoomed and this way it's almost like a virtual desktop. (difficult to explain but I hope you know what I mean)

****! I wish I'd never read this thread, that Aurora is addictive. I've just order a stylus :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:
Not quite... Meteor is a multi-track recording studio that lets you record audio (guitar & voice for example) and process it in many ways. I'm amazed that it really works! But as I said... you need to enable pinch to zoom because the buttons are incredibly tiny!

Anyone know of a HD2 compatible version or something similar of this (see attached) ?

Would be really handy for doing rough mixes of my acoustic stuff!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jjjacksonjjj:
Some nice apps on there. I just bought Chord Explorer, installed it ok but it will not start :-(. Tried re-installing on the phone memory, but still no good.

Anyone else had any problems?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:
Haha.. .that looks very cool, but I don't think the HD2 has a stereo input... or does it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hexjibber:
I guess it would have to connect through the micro USB somehow, there's plenty of USB 2.0 mics around but I doubt they'd be compatible via a micro USB/USB 2.0 adapter?

To be fair though the sound quality of the phone mic isn't that bad for low level stuff, I'm amazed at what this phone can do!! :)

Thanks again for the heads up about MeTeor, excellent find!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RasT666:
Damn, love that Meteor-program!!! Allright, took some definite tweaking before it worked well enough to be functional on the hd2.

But now i've got a working 12 track harddisk recording system in cd-quality in my pocket....for only 30 bucks??!!!

I LOVE my HD2!!!!!

Thanx a million Tubgirl :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Maeffjus:
I think the USB-Mic won't work...problem starts with drivers and ends up with 5V power-supply....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RasT666:
Well, the power-supply could be solved with internal batteries in the mic itself, or just using a dynamic microphone (needs no power to operate)....but drivers are probably the biggest issue...don't even know if one can even write driver software to WinMo, just like it's done to Vista etc.... ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:
Yes it's incredible that it really works. :)

Do you want to share what tweaking you have done?

[Nexus One General] BrentNewbury:
Hey all,

I'm going to ordering a Nexus One is the next few days and was wondering whether I should root the device now or wait.

What I'm really wanting is to update the phone once a European flavour of the ROM is available to get multi touch support in Google Maps and the browser, as a UK version of Google Navigation (if it becomes available).

I'm a real newbie, so I may be missing something, e.g. Google Navigation for the UK could be an app on the Android Market if it becomes available.

What I really don't want to do is loose text messages, etc. By rooting the device later on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] ralexand:
There's no real instant-gratification reason to root now, IMO.

The problem with not rooting now, knowing you will root later, is that you'll wipe your phone (reinstall apps, readjust settings, lose messages, lose call logs). You're going to have to start fresh after you root.

IMO, if you know you're going to root at some point down the road, do it earlier rather than later.

I rooted my G1, but only to get A2SD. There's enough space in this phone that I don't foresee it being an issue in the near future. Plus, after a few months, my SD card kept wiping itself; I assume that's due to too much use of it. I don't expect to root my N1, but who knows, Cyanogen could come out with a superfast ROM, but the phone is so fast as it is that it seems unnecessary.

If you're a true nerd (which I am ironically ashamed to admit that I must not be) you want to root your phone ASAP, otherwise I think you can wait.

There's probably an app out there somewhere that lets you backup your texts. I know there's a Backup program for Rooted phones (Backup for root users) that is a lifesaver, but only if you have a rooted phone.

As of now, I don't think there are enough pro's to warrant rooting, but that's based on my usage -- others really want/need tethering, but that's about all you can get from rooting as of now.
[Nexus One General] spr33:
SMS Backup on the Marketplace.

Done.
[Nexus One General] bfspider:
Just get it over with! However, if you're worried about hardware infant mortality, then, maybe wait 30-60 days. But, remember, when you flash the image to root, you'll have to wipe everything.
