It worked / One more Question

I got it to work. Dont know what it was. Did everything exactly the same. But it worked this time :confused: :D

Thanks a million.

Oh, one question: I just reflashed same custom rom I had on after mtty. I backed it up using sprite back up. My question is, if I restore with sprite, will I ALSO restore the crap that was making it act up???? Or will it just restore settings/etc, but still leave rom clean?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stokedanuk:
Right... Noob question here...

I'm running Vista x32... what drivers will I need as persumably the x64 won't work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
LOL, no, i have posted x86 drivers so i dont know why you need to ask!!

MG

Hi,

firstly you have no need to MTTY if you are using the same rom. you only need MTTY when changing rom.

eg: going from Dutty HG -> XannyTECH

you dont need MTTY to go from:

Dutty HG -> Dutty HG.1

and yes, if you have installed something that screwed up your phone, then sprite, then yes you will re-f**k your phone!

MG

Hi,

I have covered this already, but:

If you ever want to check MTTY has worked after "task 8" DO NOT initiate a ROM flash.

Instead allow the phone to try and boot, if you DO NOT see the red writing appear at the bottom of the screen MTTY worked.

the red writing is output from Windows Mobile.

NO RED WRITING=NO ROM=MTTY WORKED

after you have checked this, remove the battery, then replace it, press the power button and hold down the "VOL DOWN" and the process will continue as normal.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gianton:
yes that's what i thought also, but wanted to make sure. i have tried this a couple of times and could only see the white htc logo no red numbers in the bottom. thanks a lot m8.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mazzarin:
Hi MG,

Thanks for your hard work, it works great :)

Two things I'd like to note:

Due to the way your initial post is structured, it is very easy to glaze over the bad blocks don't matter bit. It's something about that blue/red, maybe if it was all bold/black OR explicitly mentioned AGAIN during the actual walkthrough, you'd get less infuriating FAQs ;)

Secondly, You can note that the watermark removal is optional. I don't think 'Test Mode' really detracts from anything!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

when i write something, it is written to be read. people attempting this need to read, hence why there is 4 posts of instructions.

I have highlighted the relevant points and i will do no more. I cannot be help accountable because some people are too stupid to read instructions!! I have said many times i have no issue helping those that need helped, but i am not here to spoon feed spastics!!

when i attempt something, i read, understand then attempt. unfortunately aLOT of people do this:

attempt, screw it up, read abit, post hear moaning that it doesnt work. (or they post asking "why do i get erase_page...." or something equally as stupid)

Personal opinion, but you can guess what would happen if i didnt tell you how to remove it.

I would get these same idiots accusing me of breaking their computer or something like!!

Anyway, glad it worked for you.

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BruthazKeepah:
Thank You

I didnt realise this! Been adding a LOT of extra work on myself. Thanks again.

Thx MG it works perfect now as your advice :D MTTY is wonderful
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stokedanuk:
Thank you MG. You really are a genius. I bow down to your abundance of knowledge!

But seriously thanks for all your help with this. My phone is now working properly again... and I don't need to throw it out of the window. I owe you one!

EDIT In fact I'm so grateful... just clicked that little donate button of yours.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

there is a better solution than sprite backup that you can use to ANY rom, although it can be slow to set it up, but you only need to do it once, then you can use it as i said on any rom.

although it is totally off topic! so PM if you want to know the details, ive already had 1 guy interested so im trying to write a guide.

about the MTTY usage, personally i do it before EVERY flash, it takes 2-3 seconds!! :D

Hi,

im really happy for your posts, I and this thread have taken a bashing recently, and i was considering taking it down, but then i thought why punish others for the actions of a few.

It is remarks like this that make it worth while.

Thanks

MG

OMFG!!!! MG on floor fainted!!!!!:eek::eek:

Thanks (not that that is why i posted the threads) but all the time they have been up and the number of devices fixed/rescued.

Really, thanks alot!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jchoong:
MG, many thanks for the MTTY procedures. I struggled a bit as my PC has Windows 7, but successfully completed MTTY on my HD2. Then when I tried to flash a cooked ROM, I hit into the issue of bootloader not progressing from Serial to USB. I then wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the cause of the problem. I finally gave up and went to read your complete MTTY thread (my 2nd or 3rd time - just to make sure I did not miss out any postings related to this Serial/USB issue), and then moved on to read Bepe's HSPL thread. I think it was on Pg 45 or thereabouts that I saw a posting by a forumer with the same issue, and your posting with the solution. I followed and it worked and I could flash cooked ROMs again. Thanks.

Just a suggestion - can you add to your first (or subsequent) posting the Serial/USB issue and its solution, so that those with Windows 7 are adequately alerted. Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

what post are you talking about? please can you link to it and ill add it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mazzarin:
MG, quick reference question:

After mtty, lets say I'm flashing Miri's ROM. It doesn't come with a radio. Is there a particular order that is best? Radio first and then ROM? ROM, then radio? I've only done the latter - not sure if there is a proper procedure or if one needs the other!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
There has been no recognized "Preferred" order per say, but MY preferred order is: Radio, then MTTY, then Rom.

I have used this order since i started messing with MTTY!

thanks for pointing this out, it seems the thread has links to the "closed" version of this thread!!

I have updated them.

Dont know, I cannot be bothered to set one up!

also i will not provide support for this, so it is your problem if it all goes wrong and you screw your device!!

ehm guys - i didnt know that my english bad but i dont understand wats MTTY is :D

could someone tell me for wat reason u should have that?

do not ignore me pls :P

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cavallipurosangue:
I extracted x64 drivers in a folder on desktop, i followed instructions, but when i select driver inf it says that it is not been designed to be used in my system, so it doesn't let me install it...

I pressed f8 at start and allow unsigned driver.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zmaz1ng:
my language - german :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
well done!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
It formats your HD2. if you flash lots of ROMs your HD2 can get bloated and you get random hard resets when you turn your phone off.

MTTY formats the HD2 to it is blank, then flash the ROM.

(I hope you understand?)

-----------------------------------

Es formatiert Ihr HD2. wenn Sie Blitzlose ROMas, die Ihr HD2 aufgeblasen erhalten kann und Sie erhalten gelegentliche harte Zurückstellen, wenn Sie Ihr Telefon abstellen.

MTTY formatiert das HD2 zu ihm leer ist, dann blitzt das ROM.

(I-Hoffnung, die Sie? verstehen)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cavallipurosangue:
Maybe you did not understand, but also pressing f8 and selecting the option to allow unsigned drivers, when I try to install drivers, it shows me that message.

I also tried to unistall previous drivers version but all the same... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
ok, try:

1: put HD2 in bootloader

2:connect usb

3:go to device manager

4:find the HD2 in device manager, uninstall the driver but ALSO "Delete from system"

5:after uninstall has finished, disconnect HD2, leave in bootloader

6:reboot

7:reconnect and allow windoes update to install the driver, reboot pressing F8

8:install these drivers

see if that works

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cavallipurosangue:
I don't know why, but I already did your steps without success.

I am on Vista x64.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zmaz1ng:
thank u !

so it is important to do that before flashing a new rom i will look at the thread ones more!

thx!

A question, does flashing a stock rom invoke a task 29 command, or the only way of doing it is trough mtty?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ebliss:
If flashing stock is the same as doing task 29 with mtty, do you think MG will write this detailed guide?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hanskl:
That didn't really answer the question, did it?

+1; I'm curious about that myself!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
no flashing stock uses task 28

OMFG!!! ROFL!!! NICE answer, that made me laugh!! Common sense!

MG

no, he didnt answer, but it gave me a laugh at how easy it is to answer your own questions with abit of thought.

However if he had asked, whats the difference between flashing a stock and task 29, then this is abit more technical and is worth an answer!

the simple question "does this do the same" gets a simple answer of "no"

and to answer your question before you ask it, here is the answer:

And I surmise MTTY is the only way to fully format the device? I'm sure its a great tool, but I've read some posts of frustrated user bricking their phones with it. Guess the way to go is to keep it cool and take your time with this process then.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
I have just downloaded all three sets of drivers now, there is nothing wrong with them.

these are the only links to the drivers.

Hi,

I dont know why you posted this. did you not read the analysis of task 28 and 29 i put in my previous post? if you did, why are you asking if MTTY fully formats the device:

(The bit you want is Bold, Italic &

Underlined

so it is clear) why surmise? why not just read?

That's because for some people, when you tell them that the moon is round, they'll still ask you whether the moon is circular in shape. Then, they will ask you how you can confirm that the moon is round/circular. Another group will ask you where is the moon or how to look for the moon and how you can confirm that the round object you are pointing to is the moon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hanskl:
I have absolutely no idea why you are being so cocky.. If you just would have read my question and actually understood WHAT I WAS ASKING, you wouldn't reply with such a retarded answer. As you can understand from my question, I have acknowledged that MTTYs task 29 infact does a fully format. What you so plainly fail to understand, is that I'm asking if there is any other way of doing this task. If you would just have read, like you advise all others to, then several of this cocky answered posts would have been avoided. I suggest you look up the word HUMBLE in the dictionary.

Have a great day, Sire.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hanskl:
It's pretty obvious that neither you understood the question.. Not too bright, eh?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ebliss:
I agree totally that you are not. If I go down to your level, I might be able to understand your question. I didn't even know that my post was referring to you.

Great arguement, really! Enough of this crap already. Let MG answer my question and we can all be happy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Sorry to interrupt here, but is there anyone who has a video guide to this process? I am sure it would help me to know what is "normal" in this process, as a total newb to mtty. Perhaps I am not alone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hanskl:
It really is a straight forward process. The tricky part for me was to sucessfully install the drivers. Once that was done, the MTTY process was easy going :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Its not a matter of being cocky, i answered the question, also, I have not seen ONE post with people using this and BRICKING!

Mainly because this is for UNBRICKING! it would be kind of stupid to post commands for people to brick!

Not cocky, just this thread has been running for so long and it feels everytime i look different people are asking the same questions when they could just follow the instructions or search the thread!

at the end of the day, i "found" this info, anyone else could do exactly the same, i was just kind enough to put it into a nice EASY guide and source drivers that work and a method to install them. i can also pull it all down and you can all have fun with your new paper weights!

remember i get nothing from this, in the ENTIRE time this thread has been open and the countless devices i fix for Hundreds of £/$ of repair fees, do you know what i got? Jack!! (there was 1 kind person in the HD2 thread which i am very grateful for)

do i complain? NO! therefore since this is not a paid service, i have no obligation. It is highly irritating that people here seems to act like I owe them something!

(also dont think im saying that to get anything, im just making a point that this is free, and repairing your HD2 is a lot of money!)

I had the intention of writing a step by step guide that works and requires no questions. I can honestly say i have done the install HUNDREDS of times and NEVER had a problem so i dont get why people can be given the same instructions that I use and screw it up!

Thank you very much. You are a real XDA HERO ;-)

Your tool helped me to let my device work as it should. But on Windows 7 X64 I had a problem so I moved to an old XP machine and there everything was fine. Thank you very very much. I think next month I will send you a donation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] efrant:
First of all, I want to say that this seems like a great step-by-step written by you, although (thankfully) I have never needed or used mtty. Great work!

Second, I'm just wondering: why are you responding to posts which ask question that have already been answered? If it has been answered already, wouldn't it be better to just ignore the poster, instead of answering the question yet again? That way, you won't get irritated by stupid n00b questions, and others won't get irritated from snarky replies... :) Just a suggestion from a stupid n00b.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I have used this and read it has solved many problems. So I wanted to say Thanks for having this even though I don't know what the MTTY stands for it works.

I do have one question, Is there any benefit to flash from the SD card rather from PC or vise versa? If so what? Also if you Flash from SD card is it necessary to reformat the SD card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Agreed, but sometimes we all need to let a few truths go. the problem with ignoring them is that someone eventually will answer and nothing is learned.

i do this for fun, and i like learning things, if i cant find something i ask, i dont just jump on a thread and ask question without at least searching the thread!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
I think it is either Maintenance Talk To You, or Multi-port Talk To You.

it is basically a way to send text commands to the hardware on your device.

SD card flash is best because it is so much faster.

PC flash is about 10 mins, SD flash is about 2min! and no if you have formatted the SD card already then no. only format if SD card is

corrupt (obviously!!)

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
what were your issues on 7x64? im using it now! (RIGHT now, im MTTY and flash!!)

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it came from the UNIX tty command?

And the about screen in my MTTY exe's say's Multi-Port for the "M".

So Multi-port TeleTypeWriter.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
Really ten minutes? surely not. mine flashes in no more than three over USB, . Maybe your LAST phone took 10 minutes, not the HD2. hehe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
I was thinking the same, and I am sure the bandwidth of my USB 2.0 port is higher than my class2 card anyway.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
you are correct my friend! I just couldnt put my finger on the name!!

Thanks

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
"HEHE" there are always smart people about who know best isnt there.

ok you 2 highly knowledgeables, flash via USB then flash via PC, both of you have stop watches at the ready then report me times ok. you are incorrect

regardless of what you have to say next i KNOW your results with be a 200% faster flash via SD card.

how can the bandwidth be different because you connect a HD2? the bandwidth of USB 2 is the same regardless of what you connect (obviously there is backwards compatability), therefore the logic behind what you have said breaks.

bandwidth doesnt change, the HD2 had BIGGER roms than other devices, therefore it naturally MUST take longer to flash via USB. i.e. the speed it the same flashing a blackstone/diamond/topaz/HD2 leaving the speed to be determined by the size of the file. HD2 rom = bigger file than diamond rom = longer flash

p.s. sorry for my english...

try to boot in wm. if it doesn't then it's ok.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Belial81:
after i have imput Task 8 and flashed a new custom rom... hard reset and it seems work fine...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Let me try that again. What I am saying is this: Because the bandwidth of USB 2.0 is 480Mbit/s or 60Mbyte/sec. The bandwidth of my class2 MicroSD is 2Mbyte/sec, it seems logical to assume it is faster to flash via USB 2.0.

I am not sure what the internal bus data rate is on the HD2, but, again, I would assume that it is better (faster) to keep it saturated with a higher delivery rate, such as what USB 2.0 offers. Is this not true?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Ever thought of reading the first post? might be a good idea
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
no, you can only access USB 2 rates when the device is using the USB driver in WM. USB2 is only true for USB2 complaint hardware, so when in bootloader you are using the same speed default speed for USB.

this is why there is an option when you connect the USB cable in WM, AS/USB etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Thanks, man. I did not know that. I'll still stick with USB flashing, because I feel more comfortable there.

So, a summarizing question about MTTY...

Is the process actually formatting/erasing the boot partition of the internal ROM to give new ROM software installs a clean start, where as the standard installs simply overwrite the current ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Duart:

Follow this procedure for FLASHING YOUR ROM FROM INTERNAL STORAGE AFTER MTTY

8: Immediately DISCONNECT your device and hold "Vol Down" to Initiate ROM Flash

8: Immediately DISCONNECT your device and hold "Power" button to Initiate ROM Flash

I think this is the correct way, isn't it?

I'm having a bit of bother with Windows 7. I follow the instructions exactly as in the first 2 posts, but I can't get the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider to work?

I was using something else this morning that needed that program, and their screen dump had 'test mode' in the bottom corner next to the clock when its in test mode. I can't get that, and as a result my driver update fails as its unsigned.

I've got past it by pressing F8 at boot and choosing enable unsigned drivers - then installing the driver... then following the rest of your tutorial. This works, but is a pain in the ass - so I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong so that I can fix it for the future.

I've tried searching, but can't find anything?
