HSPL before SIM unlock

Is it possible to install HSPL _before_ SIM unlock? As I see on the picture, it seems to be possible...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
HSPL/rom flashing and sim unlock are completely seperate. FLashing roms will not sim unlock your phone. They are not connected, you cacn unlock after hspl, or before, whenever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rzasharp:
It is possible, but you are not obliged to SIM-unlock a phone before going through the HSPL.

As samsmuel said, These are two completely separated procedures and one is not necessary for the other.

Thanks for the quick answer!

I think there should be a little warning about flashing ROMS, can start to cause hard resets.

Because if I knew that, I probably wouldn't of started flashing ROMS at the moment.

MTTY didn't work for me either, or make a difference.

Quick Question: Is it possible to extract the shipped ROM off my device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mcguirestick:
Quote JChoong...

rzasharp, great flow chart; makes it so much easier for newbies to flash cooked ROMs.

mcguirestick, a few weeks ago, I believe I had a similar situation as yours. If I can remember correctly, what I did was to take a stock 1.48 ROM (from my region), extracted the ruu_signed.nbh and then renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh and copied this to my SD card. Then I flashed using the SD card method, and my HD2 fired up and got flashed back to stock. I had to HSPL again before I could flash any new custom ROMs.

Unfortunately, i have literally no power in the phone at all. I have three of these in the family now, so have tried different batteries but no luck.It does not even have the orange led when it is charging. So if it cannot receive any power it is impossible to get a new rom into it ...or even an old rom.

There was some very good advice above from RZASHARP, which is to test and use the phone for a few weeks before installing any new roms.

I have had this phone for about a month and all was ok at first and it then started locking up and freezing and powering down for no reason, about a week after i had installed a new rom. I figure it was the rom and not the phone....bad call!.. so i installed another rom. I think it was a coincidence that it lost all power straight after that!

Anyway lesson learnt was test the phone for maybe a month before installing a new rom and at the first sign of it messing around, reinstall original spl and rom just in case it gets worse...you can always add a new rom later if the problem disappears.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rzasharp:
Sorry to hear your situation and hope, if you decide to send it back, that HTC itself won't be able to power your phone and figure out there's HSPL...

I took your story seriously and added a BIG warning in the first graph of my guide.

Good luck

Hello all. I'm very pleased with the appreciation I got from the first two guides, so I added a newer graphic to my guide with a even more important question... This new graphic is placed under the chapter "Part 2", so I placed the previously published graphics to "Part 3" and "Part 4".

I guess there is a way, since it's the way a cooked ROM is created. This is something I really don't know for sure. It's beyond beginners area anyway. The only partial information I have come from this thread. You can also ask mskip in his thread here.

Hi,

tried getting an answer several places. But no luck yet. In desperate need of removing hspl and have followed instructions:

sd card is fat32 formated

renamed ruu_signed to LEOIMG.nbh and copied it to root sd

holding vol down i start leo

The thing is, it gets stuck in tri-color mode. It says 'serial' in the white field.

Any ideas?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MJMD:
Enters boot loader and fails.

Bugger. it doesn't work for me.

After the phone switches to the tri-colour screen, windows plays the disconnected device sound.

Then windows plays the connected device sound, and tries to find a driver for the device?

The HSPL program fails to connect again and times out.

Does anyone have any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
look in the taskbar at whats going on. The phone disconnecting and connecting is normal, the next part is where it trys to update a usb driver is failing. Open the dialog box on the taskbar in windows and watch it, and make sure it updates properly. Then try again and it should flash ok.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MJMD:
Yep, this was the problem. I just couldn't see why.

Now I'm having an intermittent disconnect from the world. Don't see why yet.

Chrome and IE both seem to force the connection but other things don't.

Thanks, and I'll keep on it.

problem with flashing

Hi there,

I get HD2 few days ago from friend.

Phone was stuck and I try to flash it.

Before everything I was recharged battery, but after charging I wasnt able to power on phone.

When I try to power it, vibro make few pulses and on screean is HTC logo.

What to do? How to put device in mode to re flash it.

Phone has HSPL 2 and some DUTYs rom.

Wait for your help.

Thank you in advance on fast replay
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Matthes42:
1. switch off your device

2. switch it on while holding down the "Volume lower" key.

This brings you into the bootloader.

3. Connect your device with your computer and flash the ROM of your choice.

If this doesn´t work flash via SD card method.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Matthes42:
Did my recommendation (see last post) work for you?
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
So...I am running Fresh 1.1, and I flashed Madaco's new kernel...then I enabled compcache.

Ever since flashing the new kernel, my Taskiller widget (which now shows how many MB's of memory you have available) will start at about 94mb when I power on my phone. Throughout the day, as I use taskiller to close programs, the memory doesn't go back to 94mb, but slowly goes down. First it'll go to 90mb...than 88...than 82....than 66...and all the way down to 54. It decreases each time I use the taskiller saying that my maximum freed up memory is only at 54mb, when in the morning it started at 94mb.

Can anyone help me with this? or help me figure out why it might be doing this? Sorry if the description of what's happening is kind of confusing, but I don't know how to explain it any clearer.

Thanks for any help given!
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
You really shouldn't be using TasKiller. Find out why here: http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Uninstall TasKiller and you should be fine.
[Hero CDMA General] Fadakar:
I use it cause the apps build up and kill my battery. :(
[Hero CDMA General] Lessthantito:
I stopped using any task managers for 2 weeks and my phone never really got any faster it actually was much worse when using the keyboard so I tried using them again and it's not as laggy anymore I don't really know how true that is I believe Fresh but it didn't help me
[Hero CDMA General] alexthearmo:
I've read about not using taskiller elsewhere, but I swear it makes a difference. Whenever I am experiencing lag, I run it, and boom...the lag is gone. It's not just my imagination either.

But back to the question: Why the heck would the available memory be going down each time I use taskiller?
[Hero CDMA General] Lessthantito:
I get the same thing and I have always wondered this also I will start out with a good amount of memory and later on in the day I might be able to get half of the memory I started with freed up

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Araltd:
While this may seem like a simple quick "YES" answer, I know there are some differences - because I've unlocked MANY MyTouch(es) - and never seen one NOT find the code to unlock. :confused:

This Fender would NOT unlock, that's how I ended up with it.

I'm a long time iPhone user, and want to dabble with Android - so this is my chance. I'd like to root it, and see what's the fuss. But want to make sure it's possible before I try. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
Do you want to root it or unlock it? There's a difference between the two.

If you want to unlock it, just buy the unlock code or wait 3 months if you bought it with T-Mobile and they will give you the unlock code so you can use it with any provider that uses a sim card.

If you want to root it, there's two threads that I have seen that I have seen in the development forum that give you a step by step procedures.

Cursordroid has even released a Fender rom with root for when you decide to do this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] McHale:
any chance of grabbing that music app from it? Looks sweet...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Araltd:
I want to root it, even tho I don't know what advantages that would have yet. I'm an iPhone guy ... have been for a couple years now, so I wanted to see what Android was about now.

What are the real advantages of rooting? (sorry - I know this is major noob stuff)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] applebook:
Everything to get you started about rooting and unlocking is a stickied thread in the "Android Development" sub-forum.

I would not judge Android 1.6 too harshly. Remember that it is not the latest build. For a fairer comparison against the iPhone OS 3, Nexus One's 2.1 or Droid's 2.01 is better.

Of course, you can always install a custom 2.1 ROM like Manup456's, but right now, all Eclair ROMs are a bit buggy, and the GUI is not as smooth as can be.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Araltd:
According to what i'm reading, the fender edition is new hardware - and there is no advantage to rooting yet anyway... because there are no compatible roms yet.

I have searched but i cant find anything so sorry if i missed it.

my cam has developed a bug where it goes white screen b4 it takes pic ... this happened b4 and i hardreset and it fixed.

but now pics are also pixelated (attached pic not best to use but others are peoples faces)

any fix or do i have to hardreset
[HD2 General] larrytango:
no one else have this issue ever?
[HD2 General] larrytango:
This error keeps happening

Ok .. so since i originally posted this this error has happened about 3 times.

randomly out of the blue when i click on the cam i get the screen saying its found a storage card do i want to use it, then when i take a picture i get the white screen while its taken the picture and the picture is pixelated.

i look in the settings and it appears all the settings are changed to lowest res , no sounds , no review time , not wide screen etc etc .

if i manually put the settings back the pictures for the most part work fine (apart from the white screen so u can see what its focusing on b4 the pic is taken)

only solution i have found is hard reset.

i find it hard to believe it is just me and since a hardreset fixes it i dont think its hardware. any ideas on what is causing it and how to fix without reset as its just happened again :(
[HD2 General] alexsql:
This page http://www.htc.com/us/products#/?view=0-21&sort=0 had link to HD2 US version specs, now it is gone.

(I guess now that European version was found to "supposedly" have 576MB ROM, they need to update the specs for the US version to 1GB ROM /2GB RAM so it can run WinMo 7 even better :))
[HD2 General] mallman:
lol wll you may actually be on to something. If T-Mobile USA is playing more for a better HD2 that the cat is out of the bag, they know they are paying more for nothing since its being shown the device already has the RAM, maybe even the ROM who knows.

[Nexus One General] Mrplennium:
Let me start by saying I LOVE this phone. Besides the 3G issue, it is a definitely an iphone killer! But, even though there are one or two things that could be corrected, the one issue that is a bit annoying is when im on a call, and a text, another call or email comes in, it throws the call volume all the way down till I can barely hear the person. I have to put the phone on speaker, then take it off speaker so it goes back to a leveled range where I can hear the person on the other end again. Am I the only one this is happening to? Is this a software issue? If yes, will it be addressed in the next OTA update?
[Nexus One General] mellowgato:
I have the same issue. Hoping for a fix soon.
[Nexus One General] Mrplennium:
I just discovered there is a thread about this already. Guess I should have read through all of the posts on here. But none the less, it is annoying. I really hope it's a software issue and there will be a fix soon. Since the amount of ppl experiencing this is still in the minority compared to the 3G and touchscreen issues, I hope google doesn't forget about us..

I'm looking for live tracking software. Something that shows the location of another phone on a moving map. I know that there are tons of apps to send coordinates via sms or show it on a web site. What I am looking for is software that shows the other phones location on a map just like a navigation program shows your location. I am assuming that it would use a data connection and that's fine I have unlimited on all three phones. It would be extra cool if it would show my location too. I remember seeing commercials where older (non-PPC phones) would do this.

PS. pay or freeware, it doesn't matter.

try glympse its free, you can find it on marketplace or http://www.glympse.com/ this seems like what your looking for. it works great, you can send a glympse to anyone and they can see you live as your move. It works best when you load the link using skyfire so you can see the actual website version . But if the other person has glympse installed they can see you move in real time that way too.

Hi all,

I'm using NFSFAN .1.03B Rom and have installed QuickGPS. I'm in Indonesia and my carrier doesn't support aGPS.

I read that someone found this quickgps very usefull to get satellite fixed faster, even indoor usage. But I don't have it usefull as they mentioned above. I use to get fix with quickgps in 1 - 2 mins (even more) at outdoor and clear sky. It's not different without quickgps.

So, I need to be ensured, what should I do after installing quickgps?

Do I need to enable aGPS? Or should I change something in registry?

In other word, I need to know how to ensure the quickgps has worked as it intended.

Thank you.

I'm looking for some cabs:

1. A cab that will allow me to select more than one file to copy/cut/paste

2. How to make the lists in folders smaller (as in the Energy Roms)

That's it...unfortunately, don't know their names-hence my issue in finding them.

Currently running Xanny Evo 17b
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
1. You mean like a file explorer which allows you to select one than one file?

Resco explorer (3rd party app), file explorer 2 and I think total commander and basic file explorer on most roms also does this

2. Some file explorers you can change view in options or do you mean amount of files in programs etc. If the latter you create more folders like 'tweaks' etc in /windows/start menu/programs and then move your desired file into this folder
[Touch HD General] telegraph0000:
Thanks, but let me clarify...

You (and I) both use Xanny. What do you use to select more than one file in a folder (music, for example)? It's irritating copying/pasting/cutting only one file at a time.

As for #2, I would.like to get rid of the finger friendliness when listing files. With Xanny, for example, all files have a double space between them,.and the font is relatively large.(for ease of choosing). At this time, only 7 items can be seen at a time. Would like it single spaced.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Well to be honest I use Resco Explorer to select more than one file. You can either select all or use the 'multi-selection' mode. Open your folder containing music, then go to menu > edit > multi-selction mode then select the files you want before you either move, copy, run them etc
