The blue light can be activated using any key combo that includes using the trackball, simply pressing just trackball and power will activate the blue light. There is more info on the jtag thread.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
Im a SHE lol ... wow .. and i know it can be helpful ..

hope it works..

try putting the sapphimg.smh (mytouch) or dream.nbh (or whatever for g1) on your sd card and try to see if it works..

if it doesnt use the terminal on ur computer to flash the image!

GOOD LUCK!
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
NOTHING works with a true brick just to tell you. You cannot access ADB or terminal. You can stop anytime now :|
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
And as has been mentioned, it depends on WHERE it is dead.

I specifically mentioned having a dead BOOT partition. This will *appear* bricked to the uninformed, but will still work using the procedures listed at the top of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
^If you could use home + power to get into recovery then you obviously wouldn't be bricked...

And...these steps would be aimed at somebody with the stock recovery image....

A for effort though.

terminology differences. A "brick" cannot be revived unless by hardware means.

On a side note: Who ever heard of a soft brick? Ever try to make a house out of "soft" bricks? That's lunacy!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
soft brick

and your point is?
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Hmm... well if you are using house construction metaphores, that would be the difference between a BRICK HOUSE and a BRICK VENEER HOUSE. The latter has a brick facade that makes it look nice while actually being a wooden frame house. The former actually uses bricks as structure.

Is wood softer than brick? So more wood and less brick is softer than more brick and less wood....

I was reading the entire thread and this made me laugh so hard cause it looks like guys are like atacking you with theirs coments I was thinking that if you were REALLY HOT (and posted a pic) (hopefully blond cause that would be more amusing lol) hardly anyone would bother be like that hahahahaha (I dunno its human nature A man would be nicer to an atractive girl in real life hahaha doesant matter if she's not fully correct on something :) )

[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
so I can access the bootloader but not recovery can I reflash the recovery from the bootloader non-rooted.

Recovery worked it was sooooooo slow but it loaded I was able to wipe the data and reboot it but the phone is not rooted and after I restart the phone it just hangs on the G1 screen. any suggestions?

I was trying to root it when the touch screen died so I replaced the touch screen and now it's stuck on the G1 screen but bootloader and recovery both work any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you should be able to flash the appropriate DREAIMG.NBH and re-root from there
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I've reflashed the DREAIMG.NBH and after it says success it just hangs on the G1 screen.

recovery doesn't work again.

It booted up finally it took forever but the touch screen isn't working this is a different phone I just swapped motherboards and the touchscreen was working in this phone I have never replaced it or touched it.
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:

LMAO! They were and im NOT BLOND! lol

I am young though and im still learning about this kinda stuff..

Can you use adb to fastboot recovery image?
[G1 Android Development] shawe_ewahs:
I try your two methods for try to "unbrick" my HTC Magic but it don't work for me.

My Magic only show a orange LED if I unplug & plug de battery, with a fews secons with charge adapter put on it , LED changes to GREEN, and when I try pressing trackball & power it change to BLUE, but I can't do nothing more than this.

Any idea?

My Magic has "bricked or semi-bricked" trying to put HardSPL.

[G1 Android Development] bundy507:
I did it and did not worked

Step 1: Turned Phone off by taking out the battery.

Step 2: Prepared SD card

Put SD card in card reader and formatted it as FAT32, copied the DREAIMG.nbh onto it.

Or try Sapphimg.nbh

Step 3: Put SD card back in phone

Step 4: Hold Vol down + Power + track ball together and put battery to start phone.

After doing this the phone just pressented a blue light on the speaker and nothing else.

Where can I download the files for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MehLon:
In regards to the new update, I have a few questions about it. Can anyone who has the ROM help?

1. Is the option to send text via speech present?

2. Are live wallpapers included?

3. Does the Hero support Bluetooth file transfer?

4. Is the 3D gallery present or have HTC skinned it with their version?

Ta!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
1. I don't know if this function is available in the stock messaging app, but a lot of people (including myself) use Handcent SMS, which has this feature and it works even in cupcake.

2. Some of the ROMs have Live Wallpapers, some don't. From what I've heard, you can expect this feature to be buggy. Someone may have it working perfectly by now though, I'm not sure.

3. Yes, in the 2.1 ROMs it does. I've heard that it works well, although I can't test it, as I've lost my BT dongle for my PC.

4. Different ROMs will include different apps. I think (but may be wrong) that the VilllianROM has the 3D Gallery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
To add to these points:

2. Live wallpapers probably won't be supported on a Hero officially - they can be a drag on resources. I've seen the video for the HTC Desire, and Live Wallpapers is obviously on the N1 - but both have the Snapdragon processor. I haven't seen any full live wallpapers working within the HTC Sense environment for the leaked 2.1 stuff. That said, I think the "Weather" display is a Live Wallpaper of sorts.

4. 3D Gallery is available within VillainROM but it is buggy - the embedded CoolIris technology doesn't play nicely with re-orienting to and from landscape. That is to be expected as these 2.1 ROMs are based on leaked code. It should be fixed WHEN HTC release an official ROM for the Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vegetaleb:
Will the 2.1 OS give the VGA 30fps capability for the Hero like on Legend?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hakujin:
same questions. is it possible that 2.1 will allow vga 30fps quality video improvement or is this a hw limitation? hero video is god awful. it's hard to believe a 2009 phone can have such a low resolution camcorder functionality that compares w/ my 2003 SDA in pq.

[G1 General] Firerat:
what is a benchmark?

lay something on a bench and mark the bench

lay something not dissimilar on the bench and mark the bench

compare the marks..

plenty of benchmark apps on the market, none of them will tell you anything unless you record, repeat over and over and take averages for all the different ROMs

and even then it will only tell what is the best rom at doing stuff your phone wouldn't be doing day to day.

Just try the *all* different roms and stick with the one *you* like
[G1 General] r4d14n7:
QFT!

There is a benchmark on the market called "Linpack" that measures MFLOPS. But... just because your phone may be able to calculate 4.5 MFLOPS doesn't mean that it will necessarily be the fastest for everyday operations (multitasking, gaming, etc.).

The best way is to keep a nandroid/bart/switchrom backup of your favorite and just go flash crazy until you find one that works the best for you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chiks19018:
If you want a silky smooth touch experience with your touch panel, one of the following should help you:

1. Align Screen Method

2. Registry Hack

Method 1.

Settings>>System>>Screen>>Align Screen

Tap on the crosses very very lightly. The harder you tap, the less sensivitive your screen will be set.

Method 2.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold

Set the value to 80866 in Decimal

Thanks to this thread here
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Here's the cab.

The difference in the methods are that the reg edit sets values to max, the alignment sets back to default range.

Will test tonight and report back.

**Edit**- Seems to work pretty well setting to max value via cab.

Not groundbreaking but somewhat more responsive, not that it was bad to begin with.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Registry hack

I couldn't, at first, find this key on my TD2 - then, when I searched, I found it as HKLM\\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold

Presume this is the same thing - not sure why mine is in a different location!

It is the same thing....

any difference in performance?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Performance

Yes, looks like it has improved things - but I haven't had much chance to test it.

Before, I would have occasional trouble getting screen to 'react' to a tap - that hasn't happened since I made the change, and it feels more 'positive' in use.

leave it to turn off by it self

Try this one

delete everything in: My device \ Application Data \ HTC \ Audiomanager

Now it works fine.

a little more detail, it's not working neither with htc player or nitrogen or pocket music player... always the same issue, the music stop when I let the phone playing, it goes to sleep after a while & stop playing after let say 2 min. when power up again to check what happen, the player try to restart & crash

it seems not to happen with core player, but there is not screen off option so it drains the battery

Delete all the photo albums and any pictures in your music folder

if it's still not working remove the read only from all of your music files

make sure of them
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super114:
I think the reason for this is because of the windows mobile 6.5 power option. Unlike in the WM 6.1, I think when you check the option turn off the phone after x minutes, it will actually going into sleep mode and turn off other programs temporally, thats why the music player crashed. That's why my Tilt only last a day even if I didn't use it all day while my Pure can go for 2,3 or even more days. So what I did is I installed the xdaShutdown into my phone and for the sleep mode, instead of checking turn off power, I checked light out. And everytime I listen to music I uncheck the turn off power after x minutes in the power option. This may seem annoyed but it will help you until the problem is solved. Also, try using S2P, there's a option that keep the music playing even when the power is off, so you can just let the screen turn off by itself and the music will keep playing and you dont have to go to power option to uncheck the turn of power after x minutes everytime you want to listen to music. Just as long as you dont press the power button, the music will play. But it doesn't work smoothly on the Pure though since its still a beta version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwitterion007:

Thx. Please keep me posted. I changed all of my music from .mp3 to .wma. It still crashes from time to time, but most of the time it'll work just fine. Maybe it is the microsd card. My brother uses the same phone and the same music file, but he doesn't seem to have this problem.

[HD2 General] king_fish:
Hi all-

My spanking new HD2 just arrived from Oz via a friend that got me one at Telstra and I want to flash a new ROM onto the device. A few things that are not clear to me are:

1. Is the Telstra 9193 locked or unlocked? I inserted my ATT SIM and could make phone calls but no data connection (I imagine one reason I could not get the data connection was due to not having ATT's data connection settings). If anyone could help me figure out if this thing is locked I would appreciate it.

2. If it is locked, should I buy an unlock code and unlock it prior to loading HSPL/cooked ROM or after? I searched the forums and could not find a certain way to proceed.

Thanks all for you help!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you can make calls and such then it is network unlocked. However that has no relation to the rom being locked or not.(and nor does it need to be network unlocked to flash roms.)

The easy way to test is to go to the htc website, try to download the latest rom (not updates, they will work for everyone) put in your serial number, , , if it doesn't let you then it is provider locked.
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
Telstra devices are unlocked. They don't lock them to the provider. You just need to run the at&t setting cab found in this forum.

at&t settings:

I went with an Artemis ROM - I think I need to toy around with my radio though as I am getting the occassional drop of data connection. First time WinMo device so it was an interesting process that was more intimadating than complex. Seemed to go pretty smoothly.
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
kewl. I am also running the Artemis 6.0 WWE ROM (my first time w/ Artemis), it's been pretty good so far. I have been running a few others as well (Dutty's, NRG's, Miri, etc...)

Only issue I have had has been battery drain, I leave palringo running all day. I am currently using radio 2.08, thinking about trying the new 2.09
[HD2 General] king_fish:
My battery life has been pretty decent but I am also dropping my data connection on occassion. I spend half my day on conference calls and the battery has performed reasonable well compared to my now retired BlackBerry Bold.

[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Hi. I've had these problems with my htc hd2, I've had the sms probs, but that got fixed after talking to you guys :) And now when people call me, or I call other people it freezes, im able to stop the conversation (which doesn't actually start), reset the machine (red button on the back or pull-out-battery) and then call back... This is really annoying, it has happened twice today, one time yesterday, and one time every day before.. I don't call people or receive alot of calls, but always the first call "****s up". Then its ok for the next call. Doesn't happen to anything else (yet), only calling. It's not that big of a problem, but my bills are keeping to get longer seeing that I have to call back all the time. :/
[HD2 General] wilcovh:
Jnygaard

I think the information you are providing is just a bit to little. you have explained your problem but you are not telling what radio and rom you are using.

in general have you tried a hard reset? or is the problem also there with your sd card in the phone? people have problems with phone freezes because of sd cards. especially the larger cards.
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Oh yeah, sorry, I'm abit new to this.

Rom: 1.66.409.1 (NOR)

OS: 5.2.21869

Radio: 2.06.51.07

I always use a SD-card which is the standard 2gb which came with the phone, i could go some days without, and see if it works. Unless you have any other ideas?

Haven't tried a hard reset, doesn't that mean I'd have to upgrade it again?
[HD2 General] smudgelab:
I suffered from this last week & almost tested the bounciness of the phone I got so annoyed with it. As you'll see from my postcount I am an absolute noob but...I removed a couple of custom taskbars I had installed & bizzarrely everything returne to normal. probably a complete coincidence which I'm sure the experts here will confirm ;)
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Clever.. But "Custom taskbars" what did you mean by that, I'm more of a noob than you ;b
[HD2 General] smudgelab:
Hi, the taskbar is the info' strip display at the top of the phone. The standard one is a "clunky" black & white design. I installed some fancy, coloured ones which I now know should only be installed on HD2s with winmo6.5."whatever number it's at now" installed. Mine is a stock 1.66 ROM with winmo 6.5 device. Like I said the two may be completely unconnected but - touch wood(Ooh err missus), I've not had a call freeze since uninstalling them. I can't believe I've been outnoobed either lol! Best of luck...
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Oh, yeah I've got the stock "black 'n white chunky" one :/ so there must be something else
[HD2 General] smudgelab:
I'll keep an eye on this thread for updates, of course I tempted sodding fate & the bloody thing locked up on me about half an hour after posting my reply. Cover off & soft reset & we're off again but this is soooooooooooo annoying when it does happen. best of luck to you.
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Dunno if this is alowed, but Bump? (bring up my post :) )
[HD2 General] stumped:
what upgrades are you talking about? if you've installed any apps or customisations then you'll have to reinstall those after a hard reset, but otherwise it will just blow away all your info and give you a clean slate to start from with whatever ROM/Radio combo you have. definitely worth doing if you haven't done that yet.

otherwise maybe try upgrading the radio? or another ROM if that doesn't work...
