[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dukenukemx:
Buying a Phone isn't like buying a PC. When you buy the best, there's nothing that says it's future proof. You're stuck with Windows Mobile 6.5.X. That is, until someone finds a way to make a rom for HD2. :D

Microsoft is trying to sell the Phone 7 user experience, and the excuses that Microsoft or HTC gives is not enough to say that it couldn't be done. They want you to keep buying new phones. It's not in their interests for you to keep using the same product, and get free software upgrades. Companies are interested in making money, who would have guessed?

That being said, considering how similar the requirements are to HD2, it'll probably take very little effort to have someone make a Phone 7 rom for the HD2. On the plus side, you'll have 2 extra buttons that the normal Phone 7 phone's won't have. I'm sure a rom cooker will be creative enough to do something with those 2 extra buttons.

The only thing stopping someone from putting Phone 7 on the HD2 is a legal notice from Microsoft. Personally, my next phone after my Kaiser will be an Android based phone. It's already established, has plenty of applications I like, and won't have Internet Explorer.

You HD2 owners are probably better off with Windows Mobile 6.5.x anyway. What are you honestly getting from Phone 7, a higher number? So, 7 > 6.5, then it must be better! You can't customize your UI, you won't have any applications when Phone 7 is released, and you're already used to Windows Mobile. I say, let the early adopters buy Phone 7 phones and deal with the headache. By the time you guys can upgrade from HD2, all the problems of Phone 7 would have been ironed out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lbcoder:
Ha ha ha,

hahahahaha...

Isn't MS just SO MUCH FUN???

That they would DENY upgradability just due to some trivial nonsense like having TOO MANY BUTTONS!!!! LOL.

My suggestion is that you people FORGET about MSJUNK.... need to work on getting ANDROID running on it.

Then at least, the thing will be USEFUL instead of a total piece of garbage.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lbcoder:
You're missing the point....

It SHOULD be since there is no fundamental difference. The only actual differences are the SIZE and the fact that a phone is shaped to fit the side of your HEAD (though with BT, that point is not quite so relevant...)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hasseye:
well if this is true....then tmobile and tmobile owners just got SCREWED over lol.....the tmobile hd2 isnt comming out for another couple weeks/months....might as well wait out another 6 months to get wp7 instead of a 7 year OS.

Us Sprint users were p*ssed we didnt get the HD2...maybe now were glad :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vagrik:
I love only WM6.5 or 6.1 or 6 or 5!!! Only Classic!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Beefheart:
Seriously, who cares? I can't remember the last time an official rom was better than the numerous offerings from the cookers. As such you can pretty much guarantee any official version of Windows Mobile 7 would have been on my Leo for no longer than a week before a superior cooked rom replaced it with extra features.

What, glad you didn't get an option of buying one just because a year after the device was released a new operating system is going to be released which isn't going to be officially available for it? Er...yep, I'd be ecstatic too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l0nemonk:
I thought that HTC announced months ago that the HD2 was WM7 compatible. Pocketnow.com had a HD2 running WM7 unless its a fake...

Freyberry is right now busy over in the other forum insulting me again for suggesting that Microsoft had its economic reasons for this decision.

Seems he's busy a lot insulting people on XDA whose posted opinions he doesn't like :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
Nope. I said it before, the buttons have nothing to to with the upgrade. They're a pretence at best, but not a reason, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

@pharao

Seeking help? Buy yourself a brain. Maybe that will get you the ability to learn a bit more about how business works, cause you obviously have no clue.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pharao:
I just love the mods of XDA. They are so busy preserving the rights of the minority to voice their differing opinions that the resulting waves of tolerance and open mindedness flowing back & forth through these forums are a testament to the intellectual freedom preserved in these parts.

@freyberry - Look up "cyber bully" in the phone book. I'm sure they got your number listed there (and its not in the business section, trust me).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
ROFL @ what you think about the Mods here :D:D:D

What a bull****.

Face it: YOU are the problem, not the Mods or anybody else.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pharao:
Oh, that is why you just can't help but show up with your verbal flame thrower in every thread were opinions are posted that you don't like?

You see, we had such a nice conversation going, until you started showing up, Mr. Fried Berry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
Which conversation? You were not part of any nice conversation here.

Stop lying.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pharao:
You would definitely know about the meaning of "nice", as we can see from each and every insult of yours. :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
What insult? You were lying, and I told you to stop.

The truth can hardly be an insult.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pharao:
Lying about what?

You didn't provide any false quote of mine or for that matter any facts of yours.

Not that you'd know a fact if it bit you were your brains are hidden, but calling someone a liar

is

considered an insult in the English language (as you should know if you'd be proficient in the same).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] freyberry:
Lying about having a "nice conversation". You were not part of any conversation here, all you did was come in and beg for help against me saying the truth about what you are.

So telling the truth can be an insult? I don't care. I will say it nevertheless. Your problem if you can't deal with it.

[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
I have searched high and low to this annoying thing on the HD2.

On my Diamond I was able to take a photo with the camera and it would automatically goto /Internal Storage/My Documents/My Pictures

On the HD2, no matter what registry entry I change or tweak I try it ALWAYS goes to /Storage Card/DCIM/100MEDIA

I contacted HTC after trying all the tweaks I could find and they said the WM system doesn't allow you to change the location.

My only explanation is that its a Storage card and not Internal Storage like on the Diamond, so it acts like a normal camera saving it to that folder.

So, is it fact that you cannot change the save location, I have tried loads of registry tweaks from searching the forums, all of which make no difference or actually prevent the photos from being saved.
[HD2 General] v-b-n:
Well, I for one always prefer stuff auto-saving onto the Storage Card just in case I have to hard-reset sometime in future. This would also include Footprints and voice recordings, etc.
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
Yeh, I ment I wanted to change the location to /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures

forgot to mention that.
[HD2 General] OrsoNerOne:
is possible change path ?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlegendkiller:
i am trying to use SEUS to update my rom, the problem is i cant enter the bootloader

i followed these instructions.

1. make sure battery power is 50% above

2. turn off x1

3. remove battery

4. return battery

5. hold volume down, then hold power

after that, my x1 boots normally, not in bootloader.

help please
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
2. Make sure X1 is off

3.-4. You can skip this if X1 is really off

5. Press on the "down volume" (the button you press to decrease volume level) and DO NOT LET GO

6. WHILE STILL PRESSING the volume down key, press the power button AND DO NOT LET GO OF BOTH KEYS until the tricolor screen appears
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlegendkiller:
it still doesnt work sir,

pinoy here :D

are there requirements in entering bootloader?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlegendkiller:
please help me, is it required to have my memory card formatted? and my phone is fresh (hard reset)?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
If you just want to update your phone, you really don't need to use SEUS. Just flash the WWE R3A stock ROM (it's in the stickied thread in the ROMs section) using the RUU (activesync) method
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
but in this case it think it's very important to say that it's only that simple if he want's to flash a stock-rom!!! ;)

(meaning "an original rom by SE")

@dlegendkiller:

if you ever want to flash a custom-rom then first read about flashing hard-spl and then do it before flashing custom-roms. if not, you can get into serious trouble. (it's easy and save if you follow the instructions)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
honestly, i think you're either doing something wrong here OR your volume-button is broken. regardless of your sd-card you should be able to enter bootloader-mode (the tri-color screen).

are you really doing it this way? to test do it without the usb-cable attached:

- turn your phone off completely

- press your volume-down-button and keep pressing it

- now press the power-button and also keep pressing it

you'll know when to release the buttons yourself. :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlegendkiller:
anyway, can i get some advantages in updating my rom? i really am scared to install custom roms, i might break the phone :D

and i want to install manila hd, i am wondering why i cant install it

its about "system permissions etc etc"

does it require custom rom?
[HD2 General] Smartmob:
Hello guys.

I was wondering will HTC give us a new rom but with new WM 6.5.3 like other new devices that coming out soon. It would be very nice to have this new stock rom with that OS on it? Without any bugs or problems like coocked ROMs does?

Did anyone mail HTC or heard rumors about it? Thanks! ;)
[HD2 General] smuppy:
Uhm, I might be very wrong here but isn't WinMo 6.5.3 in the 1.66-ROMs?
[HD2 General] Smygflik:
No, it isnt.
[HD2 General] matckal:
i heard that this version will be fast and very well design significenty
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
believe me no hope
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
why not try a cooked rom if you want to see the difference? most cooked roms are available with 6.5.3 or 6.5.5
[HD2 General] Archer:
Bit of a bold statement. I'll personally be suprised if we don't see 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 released for the HD2. It'll be the consellation "prize" when they tell us that we're not officially getting WM7.
[HD2 General] Smartmob:
I think that they must give us 6.5.3/5 version, because it will be perfect choice for HD2. Excellent hardware + new finger friendly OS = bingo. Best performance and autonomy for us users, and then we dont need any WM 7 or similar toys...

cheers :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] k_kAlex:
I have succesfully upgraded my Tmobile MDAIII to Win 6.1 via the mentioned above method. And now I want the start-button-in-the-bottom

So I downloaded the image file, put MDA into a bootloader, plugged it into craddle, started maupgradeut_noid and... the second screen didn't show any data about the device. (in FAQ "something went wrong, start over again" is advised). Several attempts were of no use. The fresh XP SP3 also didn't help. What is wrong??

By the way, the official upgrading software (that one that shows Invalid country ID later) does show the device info screen correctly.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
you should re-download the rom and the RUU and try again. in general, the way you're doing it, is right. remember to take out the sim and sd card though or you might mess up your radio.

i would say, i know everything, there is to know, when it comes to flashing the BA, and still last weekend i spend hours on up- and downgrading, because sometimes, it just wouldn't show the info, mostly, when a download was corrupt, although no error message was given.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] k_kAlex:
Chef_Tony

You were right, it was the radio-file. When I deleted it everything went as it should. But the radio still needs an update I think (I've 13th version) since the bugs are freaking me out sometimes.

Thank you!
[Touch HD General] techymasterj:
Hi, I'm a newbie so please be gentle!

I recently bought two 2nd hand Touch HD's, locked down to the Orange UK network. I bought 2 sim unlock codes and unlocked them. I put a T-Mobile PAYG sim in one, this works perfectly. In the other I want to use my 02 UK 3G contract sim however all I get is 'No Service' (interestingly the 3G works but not the phone signal?!)

What I have done so far:

I know the sim works, it'sfine in many other phones.

I know the phone's ok because my T-Mobile sim is ok.

I tried to enter the network manually, it scans, then shows O2,Vodafone Tmobile etc, I select O2 ater a minute or so it says no network (all the time the network strengthisnil too).

I have been in and around London all day today and still no signal so it cannot be some wierd HTC/O2 blackspot

I thought I'd go down the road of ROM's, the settings before were:

BLAC100 32m

SPL-1.14.0000

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

WM 6.1 Orange UK ROM (I guess, had the Orange startup screen)

The settings now are:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.4. Olinex

I've installed various ROMS (about 4 - HTC HK, a couple of DuttyExtremes etc).

I read somewhere on here that someone had sucess with radio 1.13.25.24, and so I tried that too, still the same.

Any ideas? :confused:
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Did you do it via this way? Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup> Select the correct provider.
[Touch HD General] techymasterj:
Yes, I have tried that, still an exclamation next to thwe phone signal :( I have ordered another O2 sim. What Radio should I be running on it?
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Not sure which are recommended for 6.1 sorry. Check the radio thread in the stickies.
[Touch HD General] tedikrisi:
Hi, did you find solution? I have exactly the same problem, internet working, but not the phone. No signal at all.
[Touch HD General] techymasterj:
Still no luck

I have tried several 02 sims even had mine replaced - all the same.

Dear Expers of Hero my Hero has Asia rom 728 which is don't have market icon installed.

Please explain me if there is good way to do that to change WWE version and keep coming later updates on that version.

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Google phones in certain areas of the world, mainly asia etc Do not have google apps installed.

Not sure why but it is the fact of the matter.

As far as I know the best thing you can do is install a custom rom with market included.

It doesn't matter what rom you install as you can always install a proper rom back anyway, and all official roms with do a full wipe of your phone.

So you can take the dive and go for any custom rom you want, it maeks no difference and will give you better perfomance (usually) and google apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
In reply to the above

You can get a custom rom the same version as you already have installed, unzip the img file using 7zip etc on your computer and copy the vendor.apk file to your memory card and install it using Astro file manager and see if that will does the trick and also you could install market enabler.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
1. Do a nandroid backup for a clean original clean rom to keep as backup just incase.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
There are modified versions of those .exe in .zip format availiable if not on xda site then defiantely on htcpedia.com but I am sure they must be here on xda somewhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
I don't need modified I need let say official WWE version to put on my Malasyan ASIA 728 phone is that possible or I only can use modified versions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I meant modified only to the extent it has been made into a .zip that you can flash. Not that it has been changed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
Is there any way to change spl or unlocked SPL to flash to Hero so after that I can use RUU flasher and flash any ROM from any region and not get an error?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Yes, but you need to create a Goldcard to bypass the CID checks.

i think about a new device...

with original german VF-ROM. so i think about HTC devices HD2 and Diamond2:

can i define or deactivate the internet and other connections for the installed programs and services how as i like?

german VF say's: the User can't define the connections and settings for the connections.

is that information right?

by the old diamond1 i can make this settings.

thanks for answers

Kann ich bei den originalen deutschen VF-ROMs für diese Geräte noch die Verbindungen/Verbindungseinstellungen selber definieren oder auch deaktivieren?

Laut VF sollen beide Geräte wegen der installierten Programme eine permanente Internetverbindung benötigen, die ich als Nutzer angeblich nicht selber einstellen oder deaktivieren kann.

Stimmt diese Aussage?

Beim alten Diamon1 war das noch möglich.
