The Great Lord Cthulhu Managed to kill the phone anyway :(

I had a lightning storm (blackout, flickering power) whilst I was charging it and the USB connection broke (no charging or syncing)... so frantically I re-flashed it using the SD card to Telstra stock, and Telstra are replacing it under ELF... suckers.

This whole scenario has put me off doing this again, although I may attempt a SIMILAR hack again, I still have the batteries, except isntead of piggybacking the battery input I may just make it an "Auxilliary battery" that powers the unit via the usb port.

More dollars than sense?

nah, phone cost me nothing (work), and batteries were $10 from china :D

Wiring was all soldered correctly and insulated from shorts, none of this dodgey stuff that turns my phone into a grenade.
[Nexus One General] onroids:
Anyone Fring users out there able to get caller/mic audio through the headset?

My setup is Blueant Q1 (8.21 firmware) with N1. Google listen and other audio apps play to the headset though the new A2DP support (sweet!). Calls though vodafone also works fine.

Could not find help googling around. Great forum. Thanks for any pointers! :D
[Nexus One General] rashid11:
No cigar for you or any other Fring user, including myself.

It is one of the outstanding feature reqs with Fring, along with

removing the uber annoying buzz messaging notification.

They seems to move reaaaaally slow, so it is going to be a while,

I am afraid.
[Nexus One General] onroids:
Thanks for this. I can't see this as being a complicated thing to add. People with bluetooth car sets must have the same problem right?

I'd use the N1 supplied headset/mic, but it broke after the second week.

Fring if you are listening.. give me an option to get rid of the stupid test call on my friends list and like everyone else I want to be in control of my audio notifications. For the rest,,, great work.
[Nexus One General] onroids:
A new Fring software update and still no bluetooth/headset or speakerphone support..... anyone care to venture a guess as to why this is such a difficult feature to add in?
[Nexus One General] rashid11:
Well,

an app that outputs audio, should not be concerned with just how that audio ends up getting delivered - over built-in jack or BT. All an app should do for that to work is to declare it wants to use BT when it is available.

Unfortunately, the Android doesn't work like that. Enabling app for BT seems to be a fairly involved affair, way too complicated.

As for speaker, same thinking should apply, except we lack a HW speaker button, so app needs to provide a toggle via its own UI.

And like I mentioned, Fring is a very weird app in how its been maintained, with updates barely trickling through, one every few months - which is way too slow.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Ok - tearing my hair out here...

I have an AT&T Fuze I was given and am trying to get it going on Telstra NextG here in Australia.

I was fully expecting the device to be SIM locked, and am ok paying to get an unlock code, however I'm not sure exactly how to tell. When I boot the device up, it gives a missing SIM card message:

...not a "Your device is locked" message. Can someone tell me what the device should look like? I'm assuming that I should get something other than a missing SIM message?

I'm starting to think that there is a physical problem with the device :( I have tried two Telstra SIMs, an old Prepaid Vodafone, and four Optus ones...just for good measure. (Except for the Telstra ones they aren't in service, but I assume they should still be recognise)

I've also put HardSPL and TAELROM v4.23544, and the device functions beautifully, except for no network access :-/

I've also tried putting some sticky tape on the top of one of the SIMs to try and give it a better contact, as mentioned in one of the other threads.

Yes, I'm sure I'm putting it in the right way up (SIM works fine in my Touch Pro), and all the contacts appear clean etc.

If someone else has had such an error repaired, can they tell me if it's a major task? Or fairly cheap?

Weird and the previous owner took the AT&T SIM out in front of me, and apparently it has never given any issues before.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
Looks like it is sim locked to me.

at&t have an unlock.exe included in their ROM which is used for unlocking via code, you could see if your friend can get unlock code from at&t (can get free code in most circumstances! ) If he can you could flash back to a at&t ROM & unlock.

Other option would be using IMEI unlock service or olipro unlock service.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Thanks for the reply!

Ok, so this is normal? The unlock.exe doesn't fire automatically and you get a SIM missing message until you run it manually? That would be awesome if it is the case.

I could probably get a free unlock, but for the effort of calling the US I'm happy to make a donation to Olipro if that's likely to work. (And he can fix his website - opened a ticket for that)

I'm assuming the IMEI unlock service option wouldn't work unless I flash back to an AT&T ROM to get unlock.exe back, as that will just give me an unlock code which I will have nowhere to type, yeah?

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] howudoinn7:
So, you got an AT&T Fuze (US) and you're trying to get it working on your network Telstra? Now your SIM Card, its not working on the Fuze, but it does work on your old phone? Or on any phones on your network? Any of your family/buddies SIM card work on the Fuze? Im just trying to figure out if its the SIM card or the Card reader on the device that's not working. As far as why you are getting the "SIM card missing screen" I'm not too sure about. I've searched all over the net trying to find out what kind of screen is displayed when the phone is SIM Locked, but no luck!!! :confused: Anyhow, many times these devices are locked to their specific carriers for security purposes. I did come across a few threads where people from foreign countries that bought (US) spec phones needed to SIM unlock. So i would say if money is not an issue, try SIM unlocking for a fee. Narrow down the problem. You can try this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556059&highlight=SIM or http://raphael.sim-unlocker.com/

Two other notes:

I have an AT&T Fuze and in the (US) we have 3g networks. Before I upgraded to the Fuze my old SIM Card was not 3g compatible. It was a 2g SIM, therefore it did not work on the Fuze. (this may not be applicable to you) But note your SIM might not be 3g or the device needs to be unlocked for access to other GSM networks.

Last, my girlfriend is from Hungary and she brought a GSM cell phone, i think it was Tmobile. Anyhow I tried my AT&T Sim Card on it and the phone did recognize it...hahaha I just concluded...If the SIM Card is not recognized, then it must be missing....wow!!!

SIM Unlock, give it a shot....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Yep - AT&T (US) on Telstra (Australia).

Mister B above has given me some hope that the HW is ok, and I just need to get it unlocked... but I was hoping someone could confirm that this is normal before I spend AU$25.

All the threads I read seemed to imply that it would just pop up and ask you for a code when it detects a SIM card from a different network, but that didn't happen to me.

Also, I think I have to wait for Olipro's site to come back on the air (http://raphael.htc-unlocks.com is down for me at the moment). I'm hoping his SW doesn't required me to type an unlock code on the device itself.

Otherwise I will need to reflash the AT&T ROM back to get the unlocker.exe app (unless someone can send it to me? Not even sure where that is stored on the standard ROM to be honest.

Yeah - been through the whole 2G vs 3G SIM card before. Pretty sure my current one is good, as it's not that old and I get 3G on my Touch Pro with it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
As far as i'm aware the at&t devices do not show the unlock code window, you have to run the unlock.exe.

If you are sure the device & your network have compatable radio bands I would put it down to sim lock.

As far as i'm aware IMEI check doesn't need code input, they have support line & when I used them they were cheaper than Olipro.

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/raphael_unlock.php
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Thanks (didn't realise IMEI Check was a website!)

Umm...back to nasty AT&T ROM now. Any hints where I might find unlock.exe (or a shortcut to it?)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Meh - IMEI Check website might be cheap, but they tell you AFTER you have generated the source file etc, that all first time users must validate their PayPal sale by...get this...taking photo with their camera phone of some documentation proving their identity, and email it to them...which they will process in 8 hours or so. No thanks...

Hmmm... http://www.unlocking.com/HTC-Fuze-Unlocking.html says:

"How To Enter Your HTC Fuze Unlock Code

Once you have received your HTC Fuze unlocking code, it is very simple to enter it:

- Insert any Sim card into the handset

- Turn the phone on

- You will be prompted to enter and Unlock Code

- Enter the code we provided

- Your phone is unlocked"

Double Meh. That's the bit I'm having issues with...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Ok. Used sim-unlocker.com, and once the software had finished doing it's thing, it popped up a box on the phone asking me to input the code.

Trouble is, SIM still not recognised :( Guess I'm looking at a fraked phone... (What a waste of time and money that was)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
That is a bummer, you saw it working with the at&t sim, yes !

The fuze supports the 850MHz UTMS band so it should work fine on next G.

You could try flashing a generic HTC ROM complete with radio & seeing if you get any luck with that.

Also try some more packing on the sim card just in case it is simply a contact issue.

Total bummer if the fuze has developed a fault.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Thanks for everyone's help. It's in getting a quote for repair. Looks like I stuffed one of the pins when I put the SIM card in for the very first time :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djteotancolis:
you gotta go to comm manager and start gsm or phone service then it'll say your phone is locked and ask for an code
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Mister B:
What are the odds on doing that, total bad luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] moonlight18:
HTC Fuze is lock to AT&T

The only way is use the simunlocker software ore buy it for $2.70 US dollar on ebay to get the unlock code from the guy name blowfish06 or get the code from AT&T. I unlock over some of them. It will automatic trigger the promt for unlock code if you put any sim that is not from AT&T in the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Just as an update...

SIM slot contacts were stuffed. $150 to fix at the local repair shop in the mall. All working and unlocked now.

A SIM from a different network should pop up a message, but wasn't due to the HW fault. The unlocker software popped up this message when it was run however, so I was able to unlock it while the SIM slot was stuffed.

Thanks for everyones help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] moonlight18:
You could have just replace the hold sim stray just for $17 on ebay.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Zilch:
Yeah most likely. But I was a) lazy, b) in a hurry and c) it was a work phone so I claimed it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
Hi all,

I managed to brick my device during radio upgrade (check my last post on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=632869&page=2) so now my magic is showing some picture after powering on which i do not understand what it means - after few seconds this picture blacks out and that's it (display is lit but it is black).

Fastboot, recovery and goldcard process are not available.

Help is appreciated, and also suggestions to revive it as well.

P.S. I tried to give it to the service, they said "Tampered boot" and returned the unit back to me as is so I am on my own here :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
over 100 reads and no answers? C'mon people, I am sure that there has got to be someone who knows what this picture means :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bdobson:
The picture is a system screen. It's in the background while updating roms and what not. What version of android are you running and can you get into any boot screens ie. powering on using back and home at the same time?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
To be quite honest I do not know which version of android was on before - i just know that it happened during uploading radio 6.35.08.29.

Back + Home + Power on shows same picture.

If I put same radio as update.zip on the SD card would it have any sense??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Bedeadu:
Well it's been a while for me, but it seems like that pic is from the original recovery, you require amon's recovery.

Have you gone through the steps from Cursordroid, upgrading/downgrading SPL and Radio? Follow his procedure, grab all the correct files and use Fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
Can't use fastboot because i cannot bypass this part with boot picture :-(

I also noticed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=632102 - exactly happened to me, semms like this radio version 6.35.08.29 when uploading from SD card is bricking a phone sometimes - BEWARE !!!

Please explain how to do recovery from cursordroid - have in mind that I only have SD card, I cannot reach fastboot, recovery or anything... If it can be done by putting some files to sdcard please describe it and if successfull i am buying beer... Hell, if it works i might introduce you to my younger sister ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sindrefyrn:
As you now have a 6.35* radio, can you do this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xiserre:
A few days ago my 32a did the same thing. I tried to use fastboot and didm't work. I had 6.35 radio and I had updated it like it said in the instructions.. I took the batery off several times, and it booted properly.. Try to do that.. Sorry for my english..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jhinz88:
Sorry for my bad english ,

It's happen to me too. Yesterday I had my friend’s htc magic . He gave me that because he said that it was briked. When I press back+power or voldown+power or home+power , the result is same like picture in first post.

no adb and fastboot worked . How about you ? Is your phone normal again ?

thanks before .
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
Hi, no unfortunatelly my phone is still bricked - i removed baterry at least hundred times but no change... :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stuart2008:
I think your phone is 99% bricked. Press hang + back, if you can entry hboot mode. Then try the attachment files.

Please be sure your phone is rooted and not perfect SPL.

GOOD LUCK!

hm.....that pic was displayed after I upgraded Radio, too. but then it was back to recovery mode, and I reboot & my phone work normaly w radio updated... So I think it's not danger pic :-?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boostnek9:
once youre in that recovery mode, if you hit the home + back again anything happen?

i know if i get that screen on the Dream, I hit home +back again it changes my screen with options.. On your phone it may be vol dn + home try it out, mine gives me the option to flash update.zip from my SD card again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
Unfortunatelly I cannot get to hboot (home + red button), nor fastboot (back + red button) nor even volume DN + redbutton...

Looks like it is bricked 100%.

So guys, be carefull when upgrading radio 6.35.08.29 :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Read carefully and follow the instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239

then i don't think there is to much to worry about!

For me it sounds like you updated the radio and restarted the mobile before updating the SPL. OR you forgot to check the m5dsum of the radio and flashed a broken radio file to your mobile.

It's IMPORTANT that you guys remember to check md5sum of the files before flashing em cause a broken radio/spl file can brick the phone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] LuckyAllTime:
same pictrue on my magic

My magic have same picture. I try to study Android for help it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mjagar:
I see more and more threads like this and no movement in direction which could unbrick the phone without changing the motherboard...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tereno:
Seems like I'm in the same situation as the OP. Got the same picture and can't do anything about it.

Hello, I know that there are hundreds of you who have coreplayer, an HD2, and another Windows Mobile phone.

Can some of you post videos of coreplaying on action on both the HD2 and another phone?

I would prefer a simultaneous comparison on the same footage being played roughly at the same time (volume can be muted).

I would prefer a comparison between a 4 inch screen to a 3 inch screen.

Please please please post a video! It would be awesome and I need it to make a certain life changing decision!!!!!
[HD2 General] kilrah:
What's the point? Coreplayer works better on the hd2 than on any other (except maybe that couple of phones for which it has hardware acceleration) thanks to the 1ghz cpu. Not much more to say...
[HD2 General] poetryrocksalot:
I want to see clearness and screen size, and to see if the size is actually worth it. Just saying that it is clear and big does no justice. Video representation is the best method to show you how big an object in a film really is.

People on the Xperia X1 board used to say that the screen was very big, and many enjoyed the video experience but there was no actual comparison to prove to naive people like me that 3 inches is utterly useless.
[HD2 General] CasualStarlord:
I agree with kilrah... works better than it did on my nokia e71 and my htc touch pro2

video comparison is moot, its the same program with the same features, on a faster phone with a bigger screen :D
[HD2 General] poetryrocksalot:
What do you like and hate about your E71?

And I still want to see a video comparison, nonetheless.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Tell me why the 3 inch screen is useless?? I have crystal clear images and video on my x1... is a great little phone for vid... however the hd2 is much better in terms of size... same clarity and quality, just bigger...
[HD2 General] kilrah:
So you hope to see a difference in playing a video on 2 phones with different screen sizes on a video of both? Good luck.

I could film my 37 inch tv and send you the video, it wouldn't look different to you than if I did it with my 2.8 inch phone.

Go in a store that has phones on display, and compare yourself in real life. It's the only way to get an accurate idea.
