with the phone in boot loader unplug the usb and plug back into a different port. preferably a port directly on the motherboard (round the back) not through a usb hub or slot in the case.
[HD2 General] clemo71:
Sussed it now. I'm a mac user using Win7 using VMware fusion. I think it was this that was causing it to not detect the phone once it had started flashing the ROM. I tried it on my work laptop running XP & voila, it flashed immediately. Thanks everyone for your comments - no doubt I'll be posting a few more questions soon!!! :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ah good stuff.

todays lesson ? put all the system info in the first post!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Ahhh... yes, that's the kind of non-standard setup that would make sense mentioning right away indeed. Everything that touches hardware level is rarely friendly to emulation, virtual machines, resource sharing and so on...
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
1st lesson - use a PC!!! POW!! lol
[HD2 General] clemo71:
Ok.....next question. I've tried to flash a rom using the customruu file, but all it does is open up the contents of that file. I'm using XP Pro. Any ideas why anyone???
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Hi guys,

Have you noticed a huge increase in spam apps in the market lately? Apps from developers like Michael Quach, Virtualtechs or Simpaddico, which literally count in the hundreds even though they really are the same app: a list of facts or quotes, with next / back buttons.

Apparently they also batch upload new versions of their apps regularly, just to get them to the top again. I'm getting sick of missing actual, useful apps because every time I check the market I only see these apps. Isn't there something we users can do to get rid of market spammers?
[Nexus One General] ehBrY:
Proabably

There should be a "REPORT" button, right now its not a whole bunch of chronic spammer devies, they can get rid of them right away. BUNCH OF them are just scammers tryin' to make a quick buck.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
The problem is, taken independently those apps are not reportable. There is nothing wrong with a facts app, but there is with a developer releasing 100 of them. Yet I cannot report the developer, I can only report the app.
[Nexus One General] czm:
the biggest problem for me is the lack of search options in the market - unbelievable that google could leave it like that - there seems to be no intelligent search, no search by category or dev etc etc etc
[Nexus One General] ehBrY:
Sorting options

It is DEFINATELY missing sorting options like sort by rating!
[Nexus One General] dnar56:
Spam their email like they do our market
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
There does need to be some method whereby Google get notified if one developer uploads more than, say, 5 apps or they upload several at the same time and then someone at google has to physically examine them before they go up. That way these spam apps would be identifed as such and not turn up there.

I guess ultimately this is the price we pay for having an unrestricted market. At the moment it is still worth it to get the kinds of app that Apple would never allow but I think SOME control is needed.
[Nexus One General] JTHM:
This is where Apple's "managed" Store has it's benefits. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] Bicster_:
I would love to see a market proxy for rooted phones, allowing various developers and app categories to be removed from view. Regex pattern matching ...

I don't know if it's possible, but it would rock.
[Nexus One General] joshyth1012:
After using the Nexus one for a month, there are many aspect of iphone i think is superior to Android in general. There are some flaws on the iphone, but when compared to the N1 (or any android phone), it feel so much more polished.
[Nexus One General] duylong186:
and that's "polish" comes at the cost of locking you away with everything u should have access for in the first place
[Nexus One General] Namuna:
Actually, I think these scammers/spammers/out-for-the-money people are NOT the problem...And in fact, they're actually a show of proof of just how open-ended the Android Market is.

The problem is that Google (The Internet Search Superpower) has crappy searching/filtering for their Android Market.

Ironic.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Could you guys please contribute to this petition?

http://www.google.com/support/forum...87&hl=en&fid=0514f909d7c71c8700047ff77f3d84e4

Let's see if we can at least get an answer.
[Nexus One General] sctx:
qft. all they need to do is add filters like ratings, downloads, etc. Then these apps wouldn't be a problem.
[Nexus One General] jackstraw:
Exactly. The 'legit' devs should be pushing for this as well as it would make it easier for end users to find and buy quality product.
[Nexus One General] tizzl10:
This is the exact reason why my Nexus One sat in its box for a week after receiving it. This is my first Android phone and coming from an Apple OS and a regulated app platform since the 2g was introduced, the marketplace had a very bad first impression with me. My N1 was bone stock and I experienced force closes on stock apps..I felt as if I was beta testing a device that was released too early. It was packed and ready to ship back. Then I decided to take another look and while 95% of the marketplace apps are pure garbage, IMO, the phone itself has its advantages which is why I choose the N1 as choice device as opposed to my 3gs in which I basically use as an ipod "with benefits."

Final thought. If the android market app regulation doesnt improve, it will fall..and it will fall hard.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
+1 def would like to see this
[Nexus One General] Tehmk:
This is a problem, and I do think Google should priorities this A.S.A.P. As this will discourage most Iphone to Android users. I don't even look in the new tab any more.
[Nexus One General] malicious85:
its not like google knows a thing or two about how searching should be done....
[Nexus One General] DaveANH:
Do what I do...only download apps you know about. Get recommendations from sites like this one.
[Nexus One General] Bajo76:
That´s exactly the way i do it too. There are nice sites which have rating filters for apps, but it is realy ironicly that google doesn´t have this future in its own market.
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
I use Androlib hich lets you browse the market on your PC and has forums and 'most viewed' filters to help find good ones. Also http://www.androidtapp.com/ is a review site for android apps so is a good place to look
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Wow. Would you please look at apps by for-side.com? Actually you dont have to look for them because the market is flooded with them right now. The guy uploaded more than 800! They arent apps either, they are public domain books, for which he charges a damn lot.

This is crazy. Really, it needs to stop.
[Nexus One General] onroids:
Early days! If you believe in the power of open systems you'll know this will get sorted. You'll also be cool with the fact that open systems are sloppy!
[Nexus One General] mf.luder:
They probably want that free Nexus One or Droid!
[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
oh I'm sure google knows about this....its just that they don't want to do anything about it yet because they want to 'catch up' to 140,000 apps by apple.
[Nexus One General] Tehmk:
Plausible JP.

Still, it doesn't help that I have to always look into top apps and scroll for ages for anything remotely good. I never look into 'Just In'.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
This works great for power users but power users are not who make/break a platform. The average person will take one look at the market and, if coming from, or having had any exposure to the apple app store, will say no thank you.

People don't want to have failed search results for something they used to have and know it exists but don't know the pname to search for. People don't want to spend more time looking for an app rather than using it.

I am amazed that the android market doesn't have a robust web interface. I should be able to go to http://www.android.com/market/ and have the ability to search for anything I want, to download/pay for anything I want...why bother having a web presence if you aren't bothering to make it feature rich. This is not a new market and google is not running short on funds to create an amazing market experience.

People won't wait around for the maturation process when there are other, well established solutions easily available.

I hope things get sorted and quickly; I loved my G1 and love my N1. Seeing Apple scared into suing is a great start...why slow down progress now?
[Nexus One General] DigitaL BlisS:
When I had my dream and magic, I couldn't stand browsing the android market. It was fun in the beginning, but then you notice the spam and all of those sketchy apps. Waiting for my N1 to come in (which should be monday!) so I know what I'm getting myself into, it's just a shame they haven't done any changes with it since.

Come on Google, let's have some changes made.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Can't you report these "apps" or the "developers"?
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
You can report the apps, but not the devs. And individually there's not a problem with any of the apps, it's their sheer numbers which constitutes a problem.
[Nexus One General] aberrati0n:
I'd be happy if I could just block specific developers from appearing in my market.
[Nexus One General] Bishdariel:
Ok, just let me say that I am currently not using the nexus 1 or any other android device but I will get the n1 as soon as it is available in germany.

But in order to prepare for the day when I get it, I am constantly checking out this board and other sites and I found this article here, where they talk about an app that seems to be useful in regard to this problem.

You can check it out here: androidspin.com/2010/03/19/appbrain-gets-smarter-filters-out-spam-apps/

:D
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I have not had this problem, though i usually find out about an app, then search it, rather than look through the store for an app i might like.
[Nexus One General] jsapp:
The market has always been full of spam apps. Anybody remember Khalid Shaikh and his apps that were basically picture galleries??

I think viewing the top apps is nice, nut hard to find good newer ones. Unfortunately this happens with the open market. I would rather have junk to ignore (although it is a pain) then worry about legit apps being denied because they were competition to googles apps or anything like that. Always a tradeoff, and unfortunately for a free market, you get a lot of junk.
[Nexus One General] Zuber:
I don't see why we have to have one extreme or the other (Totally free anarchy prevails versus totalitarian control freakery)...

I'm sure it's not exactly rocket science for google to impose a bit more control.

How about:

Requiring App developers to clearly indicate what it is they are supplying including the proper use of categorization etc.

Those developers that deliberately try and mislead get kicked out.

Google could also include a modest say £10 per app or £50 per dev. fee for listing commercially (not for the free stuff). This is lost if you get kicked off. That would mean at least some pain for those that want to just try and keep registering more and more junk repeatedly in the hope of making a few bucks.

It would mean I could let the kids loose more on my phone without worrying about what might pop up in the market.

I still think they should also have an option that requires password to access the market or to buy apps.

I also have to be constantly on the lookout for accidently purchased apps.

And so can’t keep my card details on google checkout.

Google forums are full of this stuff, but Google ‘seem’ to be ignoring it all.

I have made attempts at feedback to google. e.g. making things more child proof:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=45279268b9f40b7a&hl=en

Probably a complete waste of time and effort :(

New Response From [ Teeva (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting HTC

The HTC HD2 was released to the market with the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. HTC is unable to confirm that this or any device will receive a future firmware update which will involve an upgrade to the operating system.

We are excited about future developments and are working closely with many partners and will post further information on our website.

We are unable to comment further on current developments in mobile technology. Please review the latest news announcement below regarding Windows Phone 7 Series:

Best Regards,
[HD2 General] appelflap:
The cup is half full or half empty. Based on the respons from HTC, the title of your post might as well be " htc hd2 might get WinMo 6.5.3 as upgrade from htc"
[HD2 General] kilrah:
This kind of question never gets answered, neither positive neither negative. Meaningless.
[HD2 General] firaX:
Honestly, 6.5.3 was made JUST for devices like the HD2. If they don't give it WM7 they have to give it 6.5.3. In any case, i don't care, i am running 6.5.3 either way. Only issue is the dialer, which at one point they will fix on another device anyways!
[HD2 General] appelflap:
I expect it is already fixed on the HD mini. (which I have seen running a 5.2.23101 build on a video)
[HD2 General] kivine:
as long as they give WP7, i will be happy
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Why would you want to get 6.5.3 when you can get wm7 :P
[HD2 General] young blade:

I doubt HTC will release any OS updates for the HD2, they dont unless stated when the device is released, generally.
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Just using a get-out "claws" (clause)! Never mind WM 6.5.3 or WM7 - is the cat alive or dead?
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
That's true, but 6.5.3 will be a super incremental upgrade so there is some hoping. 6.5 itself was a stopgap, so 6.5.3 can't be anything more than something incremental that any other company like Apple or Palm would provide OTA for free.

They never even announced 6.5.3, right? It just sort of started appearing on devices about two weeks ago.

I'm hoping the next ROM update for the HD2 might be 6.5.3... I haven't been able to find a truly clean ROM here, even the lite ROMs seem to have a few extra things 'snuck' in. A clean and official 6.5.3 with the simple black theme like the HD Mini has would be great for me.

Anyway, WP7 isn't coming out for another 10 months at least and doesn't seem like the HD2 will get a successor until then either... would really be nice of HTC if they didn't abandon their flagship (WM) device already. Give us 6.5.3 please, it's basically just finishing what 6.5 started.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] guenmn:
Hi I try to solve the Problem with the Solution from cmonex I have a Blackscreen false Spl!!!

But In the Last Step Mitty says Command Error. Please Tell me whats Wrong.

I tried yesterday night 20 times an always the same Problem.

My PC run with Window XP Service PAck 3 Net Frame Work 2.0 + 3.0

I make Photos how I make it. Please Help me

Solution from cmonex

this is good for both corrupt modelid and corrupt wifi, and fixes both at the same time.

STEP BY STEP:

1. download attachment at the end of the post for mac1.exe (requires .net 2.0 installed on the PC)

2. you will also need to download the other attachment in this post for the mtty program.

3. enter bootloader (tricolour screen) manually by pressing and holding camera button all the way in (yes I mean that, press it in as hard as you can!!), while doing a reset, then keep the camera button held until you see the tricolour screen.

4. disable USB in activesync (wmdc if you have vista - in this case, do not kill wmdc, just disable usb in it!!!)

5. run mtty and select USB option from the dropdown box!

6. then press enter in main window that comes up, see if that gives you Cmd>

7. now you should have Cmd>, if not, re-check if you did the above steps right until you get Cmd>

8. now run the mac1.exe, type in your MAC address you want to use for the Athena, if you have SPL 3.xx reported on the tricolour screen, then use the button for SPL 3.xx, otherwise if you have SPL 1.xx reported, use button for 1.xx.

9. this should have generated a .bin file for you, copy that bin file in the folder of mtty.

10. now, in mtty, type (do not copypaste!) this command: task 32

11. this should return Level = 0

12. now, you must only do one of the two following commands:

- if you have SPL 3.xx, then type (do not copypaste!!) this command: lnb filename.bin 76508000

(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).

- OR, if you have SPL 1.xx, then the command is different (do not copypaste!!): lnbs filename.bin 75108000

(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).

NOTE, the command starts with a lowercase "L", not "I"!

WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT MIX UP THESE TWO DIFFERENT COMMANDS!!!

if this info helps: most people will have SPL 3.xx, and if you have AP4 (not vanilla) already running then you're definitely 3.xx

13. mtty will popup a window asking "OK", you press OK!

if you get "Fail to synchronize with the host (1)", then make sure you did follow step by step. if still same error, try placing mtty and the bin file under C:\.

14. now the file downloads, if mtty reports it flashed the file, and at the end "code entrypoint unknown", then that's it, now boot back to WM and see if wifi works.

edit: see raskell's mtty tutorial too, #36. post in this thread

if you *really* can't manage to get it working, you can still feel free to PM me.

let me know if this program and step by step description helped any.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lennie:
hmmm, looking over what you did, the only problem I see so far is with the USB port.

in the port settings screen, it should be USB, not //WCEUSB

so make sure you go into active sync and in the connection settings window make sure you turn off the "allow USB connection". then run the tool again and check if you see the USB option there.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ftoz:
y have bootloader from x7510? athe400 means bootloader from x7510 and its hardware is a little different. your device is athe100, it can cause the problem. Try athena updater to 3.5 spl and then mtty

Need tips diagnosing my N1 problem. It took a nasty drop to marble floor, battery and door were thrown, but no body damage. After turning it on, there was no signal bars, trying to select carrier/automatically, it said SIM not allowed to register with carrier. Put the SIM in my Nokia, it worked. I put the SIM back in N1, it worked for a while, then lost all signal bars and had an X for no SIM card, but 3G works fine, just can't place calls. A reboot fixed that for about 30 minutes, then back to the same symptoms. 4th try is now working, it's been on for 1 hour 22 minutes with only 7% without signal (normal for my area).

Is there a way to pinpoint the source of the problem? SIM problem, N1 problem or carrier problem?
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
How is T-Mobile for you?

1. Excellent, I get coverage everywhere i go, HSDPA, 3G

2. Great, I get coverage most of the time, 3G and EDGE

3. Good, I get coverage, but calls are dropped.

4. Fair, I drop calls, and switch from 3G to EDGE frequently, mostly get coverage

5. Poor, Dropped calls, 1-2 bars, 3G and EDGE switching constantly, not good.

6. Horrible, It's basically the worst network\
