I had a same problem!

Just bought an HTC HD2, in hungary, but it has a "hungarian rom 1.48.479.1" on it, with SPL 1.42.0000

But, i cant upgrade any roms, my PN number last 3 number is 042, so this htc hd2 is came from a german vodafone. (htc . com says, no upgarde for this pdaphone yet)

Still have 2 years of warranty.

So is it possible, to get an 1.66 official rom on it, with hspl2? and if i need my warranty, can i "un/install" to 1.42 SPL to not lose my warranty? If is it possible, i will use hspl2 if i need my warranty, and i will use that german 1.66 rom that just came out (vodafone . de)

Answer pls, and yea, i know my english is sucks.

Hi guys,

I hope this is the correct forum for my question:

I've got a weird problem with my own cooked roms:

If I use Manila, and go to Settings tab -> try to go to 'all settings', it shows my Connections-screen (with My ISP on it etc).

Now I cannot reach the rest of the Settings.

Can somebody help me?

I've tried lots of things, but I can't seem to fix it.
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
You want this registry key (if you're using 6.5):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsWM6.5"=dword:1
[Windows Mobile] dotcompt:
This is my suggestion:

1. Goto the Ext Manila_core_2_5_xxxxxx and open the app.reg inside the "0409" folder.

Edit the following registry to be like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]

"HideSettings"=dword:0

This will enable the WM6.5 settings icon in the start menu

2. Goto the EXT Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx and open the app.reg.

Edit the following registry to be like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]

"HideSettings"=dword:0

It will do the same as above

3. Inside Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx open the "files"folder and delete the "settings.lnk"

This will delete the HTC settings icon that sends you to the Settings Tab, which IMHO is stupid.

Cook your Rom and flash it again.

Hope it Helps

[HD2 General] pietme:
First off all: I checked this website (heck! I checked half the internet) and I didn't find a solution to my problem.

Now, what is my problem?

When I first got the HD2 I really wanted to get my hotmail account on my phone.

Now there is a tab under email called "hotmail1".

I can't delete it (it's greyed out), I can't open it, I can't do anything with it!

I already read that unsyncing your windows live account with your emailaddress would help, but nothing. Also, when I want to make a new hotmail account it just transfers me to "windows.live.com"

(I also tried using a fake email and then changing it to hotmail afterwards, didnt help, I got transfered to windows.live.com)

sorry if some of the menunames are wrong, my phone is dutch
[HD2 General] parv1:
Hi

I have exactly the same problem but it doesnt look like other people have come across this problem to find a solution.

I have set up my phone exactly the way I like it, its working fantastic. I dont want to resort to a hard reset:(
[HD2 General] pietme:
Exactly!

I have all my programs, preferances and hotfixes in just the way I want them. I'd hate to do all that again just for hotmail.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I can't help you get rid of any dodgy accounts that you've already set up, but I can tell you how to set up a hotmail account correctly.

Run Windows Live in your start menu and enter your hotmail account details in there. That will automatically create an email account on the phone for you, and will even give you the ability of push email. It's pointless trying to manually set up a hotmail account, unless you want more than 1. If you do then you need to read tip #43 in this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583638

As for getting rid of the problematic accounts they you've already created, I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you rid yourselves of them :)
[HD2 General] pietme:
The funny thing is that trying to create a (new) account with windows live just redirects me to the mobile.live.com site
[HD2 General] parv1:
Yep, same problem here, just redirects to the website.

If I try to create another hotmail account with the same details, it wont allow me to saying ' you've got another email account with the same name'!!!!

Annoying!!
[HD2 General] X-BLADE™:
It is probably because you are using (or have used) My Phone or Windows Live on the phone to connect to hotmail.

The way I do it is through Windows Live. So go to Marketplace and make sure that you have the latest Windows live app, then sign in to your account from there.
[HD2 General] pietme:
Tried it and failed:(

Still a greyed out hotmail1 (non functional)

When I want to send a new message, I can only choose "add a new email address" or another emailaddress (my studentmail).

THat's probably not how it's called on the english rom, but it comes close to the dutch translation;)
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
I got mine fixed when i signed in on my computer's browser with my hotmail account. Then i tap send/receive on the phone and it connected to the server... not really sure if this is a fixed? but it did fix my gray thing.
[HD2 General] pietme:
Tried and failed:(

Still greyed out!

Is there a way to completely uninstall msn messenger on your mobile phone?

I hope that might work
[HD2 General] ang_rudy:
If you set up your hotmail thru windows live, you have to change the setting thru windows live also. I had the same problem as you. I was not able to delete hotmail account thru the regular email setup. Then I remember windows live, so I went in there. I choose the option to switch to another windows live account. It will then asked for your credential. Hit cancel and voila.. my hotmail account is gone.
[HD2 General] Sjorris:
I had this too, I set up my hotmail account via the introduction screen when you boot your HD2 for the first time. Then, I tried to set up my hotmail via Windows Live. When syncing with my pc, which collects hotmail in Outlook, I got a third Hotmail account, all non-functional (actually only syncing via wifi actually, to make it weirder). I decided to hard reset.

The proper way to setup Hotmail is via the Windows Live application, you can't set it up via Outlook (mobile or from your pc). Ang_rudy's solution might work, the other solution is hard resetting, which is far from optimal of course.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nonsence:
hi all, i dont post questions often but i am not sure how to troubleshoot this issue.

i bought a new 16gb class 10 micro sd card. it seemed to function fine on my laptop when i copied all the files from the old card onto this new card.

now i am using it on the att tilt 2 gsm using Energy Series ROM from march.20, the wm6.5 version sense 2.5. also have tested it using stock wm6.5 from att.

issue is that when programs access the sd card they are slow to respond. tomtom, total commander, htc album, music play tab, etc they all have random freezes.

i have formatted the card 2 times in my laptop using fat32 and have copied my files onto it. not sure what else i can do.

i have the htc tytn2 aka tilt1, i may try the card in that soon.

this couldnt be an issue with my phone can it? touch pro 2 can handle 16gb i would think...

any suggestions please?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
tp2 should be able to handle it...use at your own risk TP2 SD speed fix

Have you tried formating your SD card from the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nonsence:
update

i havent tried formatting from the phone. thats a good straight forward idea. will try tonite after i make a backup of the data again.

as for the cab file you attached i cant believe i havent seen that one before lol. looks like a great idea.

i googled it and found that it should enable direct memory access, and thus disables the os safe feature in which the card can be removed without losing data. kinda like in Windows where you need to go to safely remote hardware before unplugging a usb drive that has cache enabled from the device manager.

will try it, although i feel i "shouldnt" need it if all was working as it should. but cant hurt to test, after a backup... :)

thanks for the cab

what is the need for a class 10 card...???

lol...i purchased a class 2 card today, after getting my previous tp2 stolen....works fine thus far...lol...

im sure class 10 is better but dont know why...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Google down? Higher class = Higher rated speed. Class 2 = dog slow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
i googled "down", alas, it yielded nothing in relation to the tp2...also, my class 2 is working perfectly...have fun with your high priced, top of the line, higher class 10 card...hope you eventually get it to work for ya...bwahahahahaha...!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
It basically means that you are guaranteed at least 2mb/s of transfer speed. class 10 is guaranteed 10mb/s or transfer speed. I think it has more to do with writing than reading though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nonsence:
class 10 faster

yah thats why i bought it. i was tired of waiting so long everytime i wanted to copy updated gps maps or avi files to the drive.

but as luck would figure buying the fastest microsd card i could find would make the damn thing slower at random times.

anyways, gonna try updated radio, then the speed boost cab, then will try it in another phone. if all else fails, i'm calling back the retailer as i should be able to get replacement within 30 days

also how can i format the card on the phone itself? i need 3rd party software for this i assume
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Yep, I agree with most people in other threads.. You're a complete moron.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nickd79:
Evening all,

I'm running a Tytn II with a standard Orange UK WM6.1 ROM, have done so for about a year with minimal problems.

This evening it's started with an error in the tasks/ to do list - 'No program memory available, tap start > settings... etc'.

Numerous soft resets haven't solved it; I haven't yet tried a hard reset although obviously this is on the cards if I can back it up. I also can't access the bootloader screen.

Edit: when it comes up with this error I check the task manager to find that nothing in particular is running. And it's the same very time I try to start the tasks list. Grrr. Interestingly, on the home screen, it clearly recognises that there are tasks (7 active, 1 high priority), but I can't access them

Sooo... anyone had this problem or any pointers on how to fix it, other than trying a hard reset?

Ta
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
not sure...but you might want to check how much free storage space is remaining on the device. goto Settings->System->Memory and report back the amount of "Free" space available under the "Storage" and "Program" columns.

if free storage space is low, try to delete unnecessary files from the device (or move these unnecessary files to the storage card). uninstalling unneeded programs will also help free up some storage space.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dcarr622:
I've gotten these sorts of errors while browsing if Opera tries to cache more data than there is space available. Definitely double check you available space like ASCIIker said.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nickd79:
Storage space free is 41MB; program memory is 53MB (32MB used)

Update: Just did SPBackup and a hard reset. Good news - it did the hard reset. Bad news, I still have the same problem. Argggh!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nickd79:
OK, update on that - the tasks and calendar no longer work, and rebooting brings up a message that there's an error with cprog.exe.

Gah!
[Liquid S100 Android Development] saturnine_sweet:
I just switched to the Liquid from a few years of WinMo phones. I did a good deal of cooking in WinMo, and now Im looking to get into cooking on the Android platform.

However, all my experience is not only just with WinMo, it is also exclusively with HTC devices. As such, I was wondering if the few cooks here can give a few basics on breaking down the ROM and such for this device and platform.

I don't need baby steps or anything, I have some familiarity with all of the programming and concepts involved, just looking for some device/platform specific steps to get me started.

Hey guys,

I have been browsing this forum extensively for the past two days and must say there is wealth of resources here and lot of knowledge sharing.

However I find that most of the threads are bit on the steep side for a Windows mobile novice like me to understand. I just got a new HD2 few days back.

Can some one please give a one line meanings of below terms and if possible links on this site or elsewhere that can give a lay mans definition. Once I got a hang of the terms then I can go around on my own. I am sure there are many like me.

- HSPL (I saw the main HSPL thread but does not explain what is HSPL)

- Flashing

- Cooked ROM, stock ROM

- Radio

- SPL

Thanks in advance.

[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi and welcome!

You might want to read this wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions?

It should cover all of the above (it is designed for a non-HD2 device, but the explanations aren't dependant on model).
[HD2 General] Spike15:
"HSPL" or "Hard SPL" is a bootloader. What this means is that it's software that goes on your phone which is invoked as the phone loads, and from there loads the operating system and/or presents and executes other advanced functions.

The default bootloader is "locked" so that only signed ROMs can be flashed. HSPL un-"locks" this so you can flash any ROM.

"Flashing" refers to writing to ROM. When you "flash" a phone you write a new operating system to its ROM.

A "stock" ROM is one distributed and/or made by the OEM. A "cooked" ROM is one distributed and/or made by a non-OEM.

The ROMs you can download from HTC's site are "stock".

The ROMs you can download in the ROM forum are "cooked".

The "radio" is the firmware that goes on your phone that controls most of its BIOS functions.

A bootloader for the phone. The "H" in "HSPL" means "Hard" meaning it's un-"locked".
[HD2 General] metal675:
Great responses.

rp-x1,

Thats precisely the kind of url I was looking for. It explains fair bit on SPL. Are there any other pages here, perhaps one which is indexed or a step by step tutorials going further into flashing and explaining other terms?

Spike 15,

Thanks for the definitions.

So I understand that 'flashing' is a Winmo term for actually changing the core rom.

If i relate it to Windows terminology, then I guess ROM in WinMo is similar to set of custom dll, exe's in Windows that affects the core OS.

Also, what is a signed and unsigned ROM? I know in Symbian we have signed and unsigned apps but they can be self signed, I guess this must be something similar.

- Is installing HSPL (the one on this forum) recommended?

- How would I determine that I need to upgrade or change to another ROM be it stock or cooked?

For e.g. I tried installing the new HTC rom from their website but I got an invalid vendor id. I believe that is because my phone is locked to T Mobile UK. Would HSPL + a WWE ROM unlock the phone?

Thanks again.

Metal
[HD2 General] metal675:
Bringing up thread.

Can someone please respond?

Should I really install HSPL or a Soft SPL?

If it is HSPL can I use the one given on this

link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433

Should i use the HSPL.zip and HSPL2_RUN.zip ?

I am locked to T Mobile but want to use O2, will Hard SPL allow me to do that? Means if I do HSPL and then flash a WWE rom

Thanks
[HD2 General] bored2nite:
Metal,

Before you do anything there has been early Tmobile USA hd2's out there so i have to ask... do you have a hd2 from europe or from USA.

the new TMobile USA hd2 has SPL 2.X.X, the hspl you see around is for the europe one and WILL NOT work on TMO USA HD2.

U asked if it was recommended... well it does void the warranty... but you can go backwards if needed to send into repairs, but that scares some people in to even attempting this for a 500-800 dollar device.

Now away from that part of it, yes unlocking your phone allows you to flash these "cooked" roms into your phone... which by theory will make your phone work faster, better, and do things it "should have" out the box. There are normally little treats as well as built in software that makes your experience better because you don't have to load on apps and slow down your phone because they are already "cooked" into the ROM.
[HD2 General] metal675:
Boredtonite,

Thanks for the reply.

I am on T Mobile UK, so I assume that it is the European version.

I had a look at few vids on youtube regarding flashing and then reverting it back, so it does not look that difficult to me.

Only thing that I want to know is if I should do it, if yes which is the correct version I should use.
[HD2 General] metal675:
Can anyone provide me the link to the correct version of HSPL that I should use for my T Mobile UK phone

Also once I run that is it recommended if I flash the HTC wwe rom from its website?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mooring:
I thought this would fix itself over time, but it hasn't.

When I text, if I start typing in the name of the person, the HTC Diamond starts to suggest names after two letters. I really like this feature.

Sometime this summer, this stoped working for my wife's name (and you can imagine that a lot of texts go to her!). There were two contacts entries for her, I deleted one and updated the other. Her contact information is updated with ActiveSync correctly. But when I type the letters of her first name, it brings up similar names, but NOT hers.

How can I restore this to the way it was working without a hard reset?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mooring:
I tried deleting her contact completely, syncing, adding her contact back in, syncing. Then went to text and typed in her name but is was not part of the autocomplete choices.

What is going on; is there a limit to the number of autocomplete names? Are all my new contacts being turncated out? (I have 1325 contacts).

Thanks in advance for any and all assitance.

[HD2 General] ryuu55:
sorry for the mislead; 3G reception is on my

. A T8585 no matter what radio you use will never get 3G on at&t. The bands (ex: 850mhz for at&t) are not changeable they are part of the hardware.
[HD2 General] drummer101:
This quote is VERY misleading and you might want to clear it up. The T9193 is the Telstra version of the phone and NOT the T-Mobile version which cannot, and WILL NOT, work with AT&T 3G.

Thanks everyone for your replies. :D

After trying several other combinations to include what was suggested; I've using CleanEx HQ 1.54 w/2.09 radio to work best for me.

Basically you just have to call in and see if you could trick them into activating the phone on their service. The IMEI gives the make and model of the phone away though, but perhaps they won't check.
