Hi, i've a phyton script for symbian that use socket library for comunications with a HTTP site and i like to do a similar thing with mortscript on my HD2. can i do it? :confused:

Python script like:

sock.connect((IpAdress, 80))

request = "GET /?action=Receive2 HTTP/1.1\nHost: x.xxx.com\nJ-R: %s\t%s\n\n"%(username,password)

sock.sendall(request )

f=sock.makefile("rb")

Answer=f.readline()

is possibile with mortscript? :)

Thanks!

Well I'm not that experienced with Mortscript... But if you didn't know you can use python on windows mobile too: PythonCE.

I can't add the city where I'm on the weather tabs.

I can add all other available cities except the one where I'm curently.

Will try this week end if it's working from an other place far away.

How to add other cities, weather database editor is not working on Touch2?
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
It didnt work on mine too. So you cant. The only way is to put original ROM on the phone with the weather fix from HTC site, that will do the job.

But first you need to do HSPL on the phone if its not original HTC one.
[Touch2 General] pedrera:
Thanks for the answer, it's an original htc so will download and run the weather fix
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Glad i can help mate :D Dont forget only one thing - after you put the weather fix, it still wont let you put new city in weather tab, but at least if you update via Home Screen it will show you the real location (where you are at the moment).
[Touch2 General] pedrera:
Still not working.

My city is on the liste but each time I try to add it even at an other location, it won't work. Other swiss cities are working.
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Look, when you are out of your town and you Update the weather on Home Screen, it wont show you your town, but the town you are at the same moment.
[Touch2 General] pedrera:
Seems you didn't understand. the title is clear "I can't add the city where I'm on the weather tabs"

I'm not speaking on weather on home screen, but on weather on weather tabs.

The problem is that my city, available on the list on weather tabs won't work.

When you add a city on weather tabs, a new weather window open and the number of available weather's tabs increase. When I add Genève on the list, nothing happen but other cities like Lausanne are working. I've also a problem wiht Barcelona who is created but won't update.

Database problem?
[Touch2 General] pedrera:
Anybody can test please ?

Adding Geneva (switzerland) to the weather tab, is there a new weather city tab or not ?

Adding Barcelona (spain) to the weather tab, is there a new weather city tab or not ? did the weather tab update or not ?

Thanks
[Touch2 General] Uppy:
As far as I can tell, like all of HTC's so called updates for the Mega, the weather update does f*** all. Seriously, they've removed the mp3 ringtone "update" so even they must acknowledge that they arent working.

Hi,

I just bought a HTC hero just today and i notice that i dont have android app store but i have something called SlideME how do i get android app store on my htc hero and also my phone has 1.5 firmware version and i want to know how i can update ? to the latest ?

please help me thank you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nukleuzN:
Hi, The app store you refers to are called "Market" in Android. When the upgrade is ready for your country depends. Heard Scandinavian countries, Russia and a few others will get the upgrade at 2nd April.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thompson0206:
Why doesnt my htc hero not have android market !

Hi,

I just want to know is it normal to not have android market on my htc hero ? because i don't have android market on my phone instead i have SlideME :mad::confused: And my phone is from Asia does it still get any update ? thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] starscrean:
Hi,This is the same thing which happened to me. I live in the usa. I bought a Unlocked hero, without Market. But with Slideme. What you have to do,in order to get the market app, is to flash your phone,with another generic ROM that has market. Or you can Root the HEro and Update it with a Custom ROM.My hero is unlocked,I have flashed it numerous times with different types of ROM,it does not effect the unlock,But I would recommend updating the radio,if it is not already
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thompson0206:
To: Starscrean

Hey Starscrean did you flash your phone to the generic htc hero ROM ? Because i want the generic htc hero ROM if you did can you tell me how to flash my phone or where you got your information from. and can you tell me what "updating the radio" mean

Because that would be helpful :D thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicknyhk:
xda forums have a long list of instructions on how to flash the rom. You should need to root ur phone first. Go under the q&a and android development in the forum under htc hero. The stickies are really useful. I think the the unlockr has a good guide how to root and flash a rom. Im am pretty new at this as well but i manage to come out ok..should be fine as long as you do your homework and NOT flash the wrong roms!!!

3. Can you install animated screensavers (lockscreens) ?

Many thanks for helping!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
I flashed laurentius29 rom to my tmous leo.

Result - expensive paperweight.

Already exchanged it in tmob store telling them it just died. I've had it for just two days.

Seriously! Don't attempt to flash non-tmous roms to your tmous phones.

I thought they are fos saying you can brick your phone doing that.

I thought I knew what I was doing with my quite long winmo history. (Samsung i730, Kaiser, Rafael and Leo just recently)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
do you have hspl installed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
Doesn't matter as non-TMOUS ROMs won't work on a TMOUS HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BladeKnight:
gees.....better buy openline HTC HD2...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dadaism:
Just to make sure:

Flashing a TMOUS ROM to a NON-TMOUS device won't brick your device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] snipey:
With Hspl you should be able to recover... ROMS dont touch the bootloader. And without Hspl you wouldnt be able to flash..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
It is not the fault of his ROM but your choice of a ROM not compatible. I think his base is 1.72 or 1.66 and with drivers from this same build. I would ask him to be sure.

Make sure you flash a ROM with 2.10 base and you should be ok.

Sorry to hear about your device but at least you were lucky enough to be in the US and they changed it out quickly for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Stank0,

I'm very sorry to read this and will make an anouncement immidiatly that the rom isn't compatible with the T-Mob US model.

Sorry to ask you as you got damage enough but can you tell me the procedure you followed flashing the rom?

Thank you.

Indeed that's true far as I know but I realy like to know how Stank0 bricked it to avoid this in future.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
After I flashed HSPL2, I tried a few ROMs. 2x NRG's and Kumar's. They all worked OK but I wanted to try yours bcz I used to have it for quite a while on my Rafael. (before I switched 2 NRG for some reason I don't remember).

I always flash over old flash without going through all the "necessary" steps and it almost always worked good. I went through flashing stock first only when something went wrong. (very rarely)

So I did the same thing with your ROM flashing it over NRG's. (Via USB)

Obviously, my poor tmous LEO couldn't handle all that "Ultimate Power" and after the flash was succesfully finished, it never started up.

No light, no sound.

First I thought I'll just get into a bootloader and reflash.

But after I found out that I can't get even bootloader up, I realized I'm pretty much screwed.

The phone didn't react to ANYTHING.

When I plugged it up to my laptop, it tried to install new driver for it but of course unsuccessfully.

I've had quite a hard time to find a store with HD2 in stock. Apparently they sell better than fresh rolls.

Oh by the way Laurentius26, I don't blame you for it at all. It was my fault not listening what wise people say. From now on, if it doesn't say "TMOUS COMPATIBILE", I'm not touching it.

And that what I recommend others to do too.

Unless you want to live dangerously and have a nice but quite expensive paperweight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gf7800:
Sorry too :(

but if i`m not wrong the brand new TMOUS Leo costs only 199.99 $ in th US vs 600 in Europ :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ivosv82:
Yes TMOUS Leo costs 199.99 $ in th US with 2 years contract!!!

HTC HD2 in England is for free with contract!!!

So....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
yeah it does. With 2 yrs contract. I paid $450 + tax however. No contract.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lemonspeakers:
So let me get this straight, you flash hspl on your device to flash custom ROMs. If you brick a phone, is it completely useless forever in eternity? (besides being a paperweight) Is there anyway to recover it at all? At all, at all?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Stank0,

Thanks for letting me know.

Flashing a rom shouldn't brick your device like that, even if the flash went all ok or not it should always be possible

to reflash (recover) as mentioned earlier that flashing a rom doesn't touch the bootloader.

Dit you try to take out the battery for half an hour and then try to get in bootloader?

Anyway I'm very sorry your device is bricked .

To make sure I've updated my rom threads with a warning to avoid this in future.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bbezja1:
this is bad, im sorry for your loss

though flashing a rom doesnt screw up the bootloader
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Problem is T-Mob US model has different NAND.

XDA opened two section as well as the hardware is different.

* HD2 ROM Development

* T-Mob USA HD2 ROM Development

I have no T-Mob USA model and I'm not 100% sure if the device is bricked because

of flashing the rom so it's better to take precautionary measures to avoid this in future.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
It sounds more like coincidence.

I can't imagine Leo includes bootleader in his rom, so it shouldn't have effected the spl at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thanks Fards,

Indeed there's no SPL (bootloader) in the rom so if a user flashed HSPL first and then the rom it doesn't touch the bootloader and it should be always possible to get in bootmodus after a bad flash and reflash the rom.

It worried and made me doubt for 2 days but this makes no sense the device is bricked because of flashing the rom it must be coinsidence.

There are enough stickies how to flash a rom and I've included rom flash instructions in my rom thread so I'm going to remove the warning.

@Stank0, I feel sorry your device is bricked but I hope you understand my decission.

Grtz Leo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lemonspeakers:
re-bump. can anyone answer this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] witch1:
I agree with everyone else. It wasn't the flash-it was the flasher. He didn't follow the basics. Wrong rom, flashed repeatedly while bypassing vital steps. It wasn't bricked-he got jumpy. He shouldn't flash if he can't follow simple tutorials and stickies.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kholk:
It's a coincidence.

What can brick your TMOUS HD2 is a RADIO ROM or an uncompatible SPL, but an OS can't brick all. It can only make your device to freeze or not work correctly, but, well, if you've got the right radio and the right SPL for your device it doesn't matter..

The Eugenia Project Developer

-kholk
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
If the radio rom can brick the device but which I doubt and it isn't confirmed then I know Stank0 bricked his T-Mob device because of the radio (2.07.51.22_02) I've included in rom.

Also radio rom is reflashable as long as the bootloader (SPL) isn't touched.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
Yeah. I did remove the battery for a whole 24 hours. Didn't help.

The phone didn't react to anything. No bootloader. Not even charging light when I plugged it in... But a computer recognized a new hardware. Failed to find a driver for it. SOMETHING was screwed up inside.

I'm not saying it couldn't be a coincidence. Although strange one. But... anything can happen right?

What makes me wonder is that I flashed a few tmous compatibile roms before and everything was ok.

Like a thousand times before with Kaiser and Rafael.

I'm skipping some steps because I KNOW it works wihout them. Now I'm running NRG tmous rom I flashed WITHOUT all the "vital" steps and it runs perfectly and without single glitch.

To all the judgmental people saying it was the flasher... You have right to your opinion. But wait 'till it happens to you. I'm curious what you'll be saying then.

And I do admit that it was my fault not because I skipped "vital" steps, but because I flashed incopatibile rom.

I'll gladly admit I'm total noob and that it was my bad flash if someone proves that he's running Laurentius26 non-tmous rom on his tmous Leo.

If you want to live dangerously to prove your point go right ahead.

Once again. Nothing against you Laurentius26. NOT YOUR FAULT!

I loved your roms on my old phones. Too bad you don't cook for tmous. I'd flash yours in a heartbeat again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stank0:
That was my first thought. The radio. But no way to re-flash it since I couldn't enter the bootloader.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Brau0303:
My 2 Cent's

I had a very similar incident with my 1st ATT Tilt, It flashed ok, but the next morning it was in the same state described so I am betting it may have been a component failure. I got it swapped out and flashed without any further issues.

Be Careful on US T-Mobile Phones!

Another thread from a week or so ago pointed out that only .50 radios are compatible with the TMO-US version (and need a 2.xx ROM as well). The .51 radios have bricked some TMO US phones and will probably continue to do so.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
if you flash HardSPL then you can't brick it by flashing, that's the entire point of hardspl it's there and can't be overwritten easily.

As long as you choose the correct one..

If there's a hardware fault then obviously something can go wrong, but hardspl should not ever be responsible for "bricking" a phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richsark:
why not try the ROM first before you task29. that way you can do a hard reset and recover with the last working rom.

then if all ok, then do the task29\mitty routine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zole2112:
I thought you could not flash HSPL2 on the TMOUS...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cool_dd:
If you have HSPL Installed, you should be able to flash any rom that contains os and not radio.

You stand a chance of bricking your device if you flash an incompatible radio.

So when choosing a rom that includes a radio, check that it has compatible radio . For roms without radio, you can flash it without risk of bricking your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:

There are several ways to set the tf3d internet tab to use 9.5 and it handles it well: bookmarks and search from tf3d tab all are opera 9.5 intigrated. but as i said I would like to set hers to 9.7. Please please no comments on "just flash the rom". we dont want to go that route because after months of searching and experimenting with my own tp2, ever rom I have tried has either had a shlew of dibilitating bugs, or if they were perfectly operational they ate up 70% of the available ram after a few hours of use.

I had tried a number of things prior to that to manually make the browser the default for everything, but nothing seemed to get it all. Maybe try re-installing Opera?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phoenixcg:
you should be able to its in the registry, you just need to put in the path to the .exe file for the opera u want as default.

Hi all,

Just came back from vacation and when plugging in my TP2 to my laptop it just rebooted and doesn't want to come on again. :confused: When I keep it plugged in, its starts to boot up (up to the stage where in read it says the ROMs versions etc) and then just reboots again.

What could be the problem? Had a OEM ROM and bootloader on. Anyway to reset the device or do some problem solving?

Thanks
