Why dont you just use Microsoft MyPhone to sync all contact info. When you log in to your account then on desktop pc just click the button "search for duplicates" and there you go. You also can add/edit/delete/... every single contact info via the web interace. And next time when you click sync in your phone the changes will be made to the contacts on your phone. (also u can sync the calender, pictures, videos, even the storage card...)

Microsoft MyPhone is probably the best thing MS invented for their phones. and it works soo soo good
[HD2 General] networkn:
I tried to use MS My Phone, the problem is that it won't sync contacts on my sim, and it appears this is where the duplicates are.

I need a tool that will allow me to edit sim contacts on my PC
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Copy sim contacts to outlook, delete everything on card, sync with myphone, remove duplicates, copy back to sim? Don't know if that last step is possible though...

Anyway, I really wonder how one can still use SIM contacts for everything... I haven't used SIM contacts anymore for the past ~8 years...
[HD2 General] networkn:
I could actually kill someone right now.

I copied sim to contacts, contacts to My Phone. Deleted Sim Contacts (using sim manager which I didn't know deleted contacts as well), then sync'd to My Phone and now I have 0 contacts anywhere!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I didn't know know myphone was a one way sync, now I just lost 165 contacts!

I wonder what the chances of sim contacts recovery is?
[HD2 General] networkn:
I had another phone that had a copy of my contacts from 2 months ago. Thank the Gods! Not impressed with Windows Mobile and it's crappy Contact Management though!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
It's not, but it's perfectly normal it acted that way. Sync works both ways, once you have set up a sync relationship, the modifications on one side will follow the ones on the other side. That's the whole point of syncing.

I.e if you modify/delete a contact on myphone, it will modifiy/delete it on the phone on next sync. If you modify/delete on the phone, next sync will apply that to myphone. As you deleted everything on the phone, it's normal that next sync deletes them on myphone too. It can't guess the deletion wasn't intentional... You should not have synced, but have either run a restore operation, or deleted/recreated the partnership checking that myphone overwrites device.

Every sync system works that way, not just winmo/outlook/myphone... you just need to learn it :D

Check the "Archive" section on the MyPhone website, they are in there.

If I do install another ROM they say I loose the warranty...

As I still am in the trial period I could just return the mobile. But for this I need to know whether the HTC HD2 from virging is also branded or not... So I can go and get one from them and do the upgrades myself through HTC website... Withought loosing any warranty.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
You can revert back to the original SPL/ROM if you need to return it for any reason...

As for the Virgin HD2, only way is putting the S/N into the ROM download page on HTCs support site and see if it allows a download. If not, it's locked
[HD2 General] Volw:
There's at least a dozen of threads about it. Don't be lazy and use search!

You won't loose the warranty, you can flash the phone back to it's original state in case you need to send it back for repairs.
[HD2 General] liamski:
You can download the original T-Mobile ROM from in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577717 so you can always go back if you need warranty work! I was reluctant to flash, but I did it from the original T-Mobile ROM and it has transfromed my HD2... I'm using MIRI 6.5 ROM and it is awesome, fast, stable, more RAM (with the right radio) and best of all, Youtube... GO ahead and do it. You think the HD2 is good now, wait until you unleash some of it's real potential....
[HD2 General] coisativo:
Yes, that is why I am asking if there is someone who is a virgin costumer to help me with this...

I need to know if they have tried and what the outcome was.

About the warranty... The problem is that if I upgrade to another ROM and the mobile has a hardware fault that doesn't allow me to downgrade to the original ROM I suppose I would loose the warranty. This is a risk I may not want to take...

I have been talking to the tmobile technical people a lot after I realised I couldn't upgrade to a new ROM via HTC... Very annoying to know it is not possible whatsoever.
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
and as proof, I flashed mine back to the original ROM earlier this week. Search the ROM forum for posts by a member called 'football' who posted links to the TMo UK ROMs.

The flash back to the original ROM worked just fine, BUT it's a rubbish ROM so I'm back on 1.66
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
lol @ everyone pushing for the HSPL option, , , , lets not forget you cant uninstal HSPL if, for instance, the sd card reader has failed, , how would you get that fixed on warranty??

I'm not knocking it, HSPL is the first thing i did, just pointing out that restoring the warranty isn't foolproof.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
in this post here a virgin user claims the phone is unlocked to the HTC website.

:) I didn't want to cause such turmoil...

Just want to know, from a Virgin customer, if they have managed to install the ROM update through the HTC website... if when they add their mobile serial number they are given the download option or they are barred with this message: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."

Thanks guys for the help
[HD2 General] columns:
My son is on Virgin and his is unlocked out of the box :D I'am on T-Mobile (locked :() ) I am still deciding whether to update to one of the new roms on xda del. or hang out for an official rom from T-Mobile. Which I believe will be released soon with a big?????.
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
I had a flash fail this week. When I started the phone it booted to a black screen with some sort of warning triangle. Somehow HSPL had been removed in the botched flash and the SPL was back to 1.42.000, so putting a LEOIMG.nbh on my SD card just resulted in a 'Not Allowed' message being displayed.

However, I was still able to reflash the original TMo ROM from my PC via USB using the exe that you can find on the ROM forum. I would expect that this will only work with the exe for a ROM issued by your network though, so make sure you have that saved before you flash anything.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No doubt you flashed an official rom from the sd card, that is the only way HSPL can be removed. I really really advise people against using sd card for anything except your phones original rom. So easy to make an error.
[HD2 General] constructorx:
Virgin UK HD2 is unlocked

I am a Virgin UK customer and my HD2 is indeed unlocked. When I first boot I had to select Virgin Mobile from a long list that included all the major carriers. I have no problems in updating ROMS. Their customer support is without doubt the best I have ever experienced. I do not work for them. My brother is with T-Mobile, his phone is locked down with Crap software. I am SOOOO glad I am not with them. Just check their forums. They are still on ROM 1.43 from october... no YouTube... other stuff missing and buggy... Disgrace.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Original poster: if you want the phone on contract from T-Mobile but unbranded, you could buy it through some third-party mobile-phone store chain like Car Phone Warehouse or Mobile Phones Direct. Their phones are all unbranded.
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
If you want to install the HTC ROM without using HSPL you could always use a gold card to flash it.
[HD2 General] Pryceless:
I must agree with the above. I am with T-Mobile, got my HD2 at the end of January and it had ROM 1.43. They also stripped out YouTube and Co-Pilot! I downloaded a poor-man's version of YouTube as discussed in other threads (i.e. using the IE browser on the phone to download the cab file) and thought I was cool, but with T-Mobile taking an age to release the update ROM (I have heard March, but I wouldn't hold my breath!) I decided to use HSPL and update to 1.66 from the HTC website. Best decision I made!

Not only are all the little bugs fixed, I know have the 'proper' YouTube app back (beautiful!), Co-Pilot (trial version) plus a Windows Task Manager app (very useful!).

I did alot of reading before taking the plunge though, and made backups of backups, had a roll-back plan (admittedly untested) and followed each stage implicitly! But it was very striaghtforward due to the guys on this forum doing a fantastic job!
[HD2 General] bocsta:
I never made one call on my T-Mobile HD2 before I flashed over to stock HTC ROM.

Years of HTC devices and operators ROMS told me not to wait until later!
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
I did exactly the same!

As soon as I turned it on and saw that horrid T-Mobile logo, I turned it off again and flashed it with the HTC WWE Rom
[HD2 General] GaZ:
How about do what most people do, if you need to make a warranty claim just pretend it's been lost or stolen?

[HD2 General] spookywillow:
i cant update mine, i get the not suitable error.

i need to update the rom to see if it will fix my no sim error that keeps happening :(
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
I'm a little confused.. I purchased the htc hd2 on Uk Tmobile in April from buymobilephones.net the phone arrived with no Tmobile logo imprinted on the phone so I initially thought it was unbranded from Stock Rom 1.43 I immediately upgraded to Rom 1.66 then Rom 1.72 through the HTC website ( no HSPL) so when Rom 3.14 came out I was quite surprised I wasn't able to upgrade when I spoke to HTC they confirmed from my imei that my Hd2 was Branded? So I guess il just wait for the next upgrade..any news when it likely to be released?

Someone mentioned in one of the earlier posts there tmobile are still on Rom 1.43? Surely this cannot be the case? And that it didn't come with YouTube? Well how come my one did?

I don't have a tmobile start up screen when it boots up so is it branded?? If it is, does it have to be imprinted with tmobile logo on the handset itself?? Finally is it worth speaking to the online retailer about my handset have they sent me the wrong one? Thanks

Hello,

I started using the new ROM 2 days ago and I'm experiencing an anoying bug.

I already tried a hard reset to verify if the bug persist and it does.

When I'm in a building and I can't get a decent GPS signal, the location seems to default to Bengalore(bengaluru).

Any of you experiencing this bug or know a solution to this?

Dear All,

I decided to add the miri custom ROM. I'm on official 1.66 rom WWE with radio 2.06. I read in this forum that I have to downgrade to 1.48 in order ro be able to SPL. I downloaded the 1.48 from the thread of Leo official roms in this forum. The process stopped at 1% telling me "Invalid vendor". then I restarted my device but the GSM network is not working.

Please help how could I go back to 1.48 to SPL my device.

i want to hard spl but my spl is 1.66.0000 :(:(:(

how to hard spl ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
You need the ROM that originally came with your HD2, flash it using the SD card method and then you can put HSPL on the device
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That will only help if the original spl on the stock rom is 1.42.0000, which with a 1.66 based rom I'm guessing not. HSPL currently only works if the spl is 1.42.0000 and in cases where it isn't you need to either upgade or downgrade to 1.42 first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lovely_az_2003:
i can not flash by memory card but i have error vender id

in goldcard i have problem too, this is vender id error :(

is any hspl for spl 1.66.0000 ? ?

Edit !!

i can update my rom to energy by sspl but it still in HTC bootscreen :(:(:(

i need hard spl

please help

helppppppppp
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
Who is your provider? you need the 1.48 ROM from your provider to flash back to SPL 1.42 via SD card. If your phone isn't vendor locked (although it sounds like it is) then you can get the 1.48 ROM for your region from HTC direct

Might be a lesson to be learned here to read everything fully before attempting anything
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lovely_az_2003:
i have 1.48 rom and test SD card method but i have vender id error :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Try another one of these 1.48 roms to see if perhaps any one of them work

http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html

As has been stated by EddyOS you can't always just flash to any stock 1.48 rom, you need to try to get a 1.48 based rom for your operator and that is why you are getting the invalid vendor problem. I luckily did not have a problem and I see some other users are saying that the Goldcard method also no longer works. I can't comment on that, but you may want to try that option out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lovely_az_2003:
a question

for ugprade to 1.66 i need goldcard ?

because gold card is worked by active sync but my device in still in htc boot screen :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
You need to get a 1.48 ROM for your region/vendor and flash using the sd card method, nothing else will get you back to SPL 1.42 so don't bother trying.

If you don't understand then you shouldn't have flashed in the first place :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lovely_az_2003:
ok. i tested 1.48 and 1.61 rom by sd method but see Not Allowed error.

i will download 1.66 and test it

thanks a lot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
Are you getting the 1.48 ROM that is from your region/vendor?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
seems you are just flashing any old rom. You need to find one that is specific to your provider (voafone, o2, tmobile, whatever) otherwise you will continue to get invalid vendor.

guys, i cant wait to install custom ROM on my tattoo. i hardly congratulate those who worked really hard in getting this tattoo rooted...

but whats the real use when we cant play with this little device without exploiting it fully .....

sorry if i am humiliating all those who are actively involved in the development, but i am little more curious like rest of us. hence i am asking this question here....

roughly how long it will take to produce custom ROM after rooting a device ???
[Click Android Development] -bm-:
Expect an average development time between two days and one year but it might differ plus/minus 20%...

I understand your impatience but asking things that are already written elsewhere because the truth is reluctantly to believe ("nobody knows how long it will take") doesn't speed up anything! We don't write "We don't know" because we think it is funny to know more then the rest...

-bm-
[Click Android Development] rickblok:
Could you tell us what is needed for a custom rom? I'm new in android hacking, or mobile hacking in general. All I know is that for WinMo devices you'll need a hardSPL, application unlock and a RUU.

I think there will be less questions if we know what we're waiting for. Time is, at least for me, not really a question since there are numerous wonderful developers here and we all follow progress in the other threads.

For the tattoo we now have root access and r/w access to the file system. What else is needed? A new boot loader, a flash utility, kitchen?

I tried to find it elsewhere in the forum but information is scarce and/or scattered so it's quite hard to find out what is going on. Most information I found are howto's, but what we actually want here in this stage of development are whyto's .

Please, enlighten us :)

NOT LONG....

1 month atmost... i have a good friend in ahmgsk and he just needs a buzz

and he complile what ever we needed for running the rom !

and if he do this ill maybe donate him me own tattoo donate ...naa ill post a pack for the dude with the tattoo. i guess..witch me self had for free by the way ..with the wish of me rooting it ... someone else did it .. HECK.. :D

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
To easily flash ROMs, we'd need a S-OFF Bootloader and also a custom recovery that enables us to actually flash the ROM to the phone.

However, since HTC tried to play 'god' with our Tattoo/Click and bar off any root exploits or custom ROMs, it's tricky. We've had to play around with root, and now we've got the system partition writable, soon we can get flash_image to work.

Myself, I expect to cook a community ROM (CoburnROM 360) when we've got all the tools in place.

Online kitchen/automated tools like the Relentless Rom Roaster is a plus, but not a essential item to have on your arsenal. Real Devs use Linux and the command line! :p

Now, it's just a matter of playing the wait game. Dream about all the customizations in a ROM you'd like, and when the day has come (it most likely happen in the near future! :) ), we can plop the update.zip on the MicroSD, reboot into (custom) recovery and let the fun begin.
[Click Android Development] sheik_yerbouti:
This is exactly the reason why I'm holding off with making root permanent on mt phone. I'll wait till everything becomes stable and more can be done with root, i.e. installing custom ROMs.

Good idea. Mine at the moment is temp root, I jsut run the exploit and do the export commands to get a shell, instead of hardwriting su in my Tattoo.

[Click Android Development] -bm-:
The more you refuse to spend even 3 or 4 minutes to read through the forum, the longer you will have to wait for a custom ROM because you are stealing our time to develop one because we have to answer senseless posts.

[Android Software Development] Injoit:
Hi there! We are a group of iPhone / Android developers who have developed a suite of web services to assist us and other developers in building great apps.

After numerous projects we have become tired of having to set up the server scripts to do all the same things for different clients. Most of the server functionality

is typical: 1) storing location data for Google Maps; 2) storing users' high scores / ranks; 3) sending Push Notifications; 4) storing files / XML; etc.

We couldn't use the existent solutions because in some cases they didn't provide the required functionality and in most cases they require your users to be exposed to some social network of theirs, while our clients just want a simple functionality without users knowing of any services behind that.

So we have launched what we call Mob1serv, a universal server solution for the typical needs of iPhone / Android apps. It consists of modules which deal with most common tasks:

•	High Scores - a powerful online high scores table

•	PushNote - a module allowing to send immediate or delayed Push Notifications (you can build instant messengers or alarm clocks, anything with this)

•	GeoPos - stores locations of Google Map objects, their statuses and 'last seen online' time

•	OAuth contracter - allows you to implement transparent authentication and integration with Facebook, Twitter, Google etc

•	More modules to come!

We have tried to make it as simple as possible for developers, so you just need to register at the back end and then you can add as many apps as you want and start using these services. From the client (app) side, you need to add a library to your project and put a corresponding ID there, that's it.

The service is free, it's a 'freemium' model. It has been built by developers for developers. Some developers and apps are already using it as it was open for alpha testing before, but now we are launching it open for the world so that we can see what you're thinking of it and also get your feedback of how we can improve the existent modules or what modules to add next. Welcome to Mob1serv - mob1serv.com!
