I have the settings enabled , cleared cache and reset settings a few times. I never get a prompt to save or remember login credentials in the default android browser.

Running rogers 1.5 official rom with sense ui.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] zorro2005:
Good morning,

I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.

My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .

What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means

Thanks
[HD2 General] congpay:
Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)
[HD2 General] zorro2005:
Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem
[HD2 General] PaulyDuk:
all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos
[HD2 General] zorro2005:
OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?

Thanks

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pp18:
after a number of rom-flashing, i start to encounter some strange and random machine halt. according to some articles, it was suggested that formatting using mtty may help.

could anybody advise what command i should use in mtty or putty in order to do a format? is it still "task 29" as other devices? is it safe to apply the same steps as the Diamond mtty thread on my Topaz?

or, would this tool under the Leo forum work on Topaz as well?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644781

i tried to google on above, but can not yet find a specific answer for Topaz (but only for some other devices).

thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tuniel:
Don't know about the tool you mention, but i've been using mtty (with the same steps described in the diamond thread) and got no issues. (task 29 is working ok). Just remember to put a ROM (named TOPAIMG.nbh) in the root of the SD card, so you can flash right after.

p.s. for me is working fine, but i don't take any responsibility in case of trouble ;) (just a disclaimer...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Yes, the same applies to Topaz. I was using mtty and "task 29" this morning to clear my device's internal storage ;).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] madman_cro:
it is working on topaz too. you just neet to put in topaz raio instead of that one in dir
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pp18:
thanks all for your help!

just now i was able to use PSAS (http://revskills.de) to enter the terminal mode (so as to skip the driver installation steps for vista64), follow the bootloader commands in the Diamond mtty thread to format the storage (bad block detected as expected), and flashed the Energy Mar-20 rom.

can enjoy flashing again. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yosidia:
hi ,

i want to try it too.

can you write more detailed procedure.

10X
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] madman_cro:
yes. elaborate it a little so we can have that option too
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] fazalali110:
Thanks for informing us about PSAS, it really makes life with HTC much easier :)

Will try it out next time I flash.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] pp18:
IMPORTANT NOTE to those who didn't do a format before:

please carefully read AT LEAST the first 4 posts of the mtty thread to learn what you're going to do.

Procedures of formatting the rom:

1: Install PSAS (http://revskills.de/) to your Windows PC

2: For Windows Vista/7, open up Windows Mobile Device Center, go to Preferences and uncheck "Use usb connections"

3: Bring device into bootloader (Reset + Hold Vol Down), this will show the Red, Blue, Green screen showing "Serial" - Connect device in bootloader mode to USB, the word "Serial" will change to "USB"

4: Follow instructions in the following post to enter the device's bootloader command prompt:

6b. Prepare an SD Card (must be formatted in FAT32) and copy TOPAIMG.nbh to the root directory of the card

6c. enter bootloader by: hold Vol-Down + poke soft reset red button
​

Thanks to the original authors

most of the above are copy-and-paste from the following posts:

1. the Diamond mtty thread

2. the instructions given by the author of PSAS
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] yosidia:
:D:D

thank u, man.

it's work like a charm!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] wangjd:
I use MTTY to do this.The driver for win7&vista both 32&64 are attached.

Anyone who want to format your ROM can follow this:

For Win7 system,please install drivers

1.Go to the 3color screen ,Plug in your cable and wait until "USB" appears.
2.Go to the "Device manager" of your computer and check the property of "Microsoft USB Sync" or*"HTC*USB Sync"
3.Choose "Update drivers",Check whether the driver is made in "2007"
4.Install the driver manually and the driver file is "wceusbsh.inf".
5.Check the driver's date again after installing it.The date for x86 should be "2004" and x64 is "2003"

*

The rest is just open MTTY*and configure the port to USB:

enter these commands:

set 14 0
task 29---------->This is to format BINFS
task 8 ----------->This command can restart your phone

Here's a better, easier one!

Here's a better, easier one

[REF] Task 29 (format) without drivers, without mtty.. It worked on my Topaz. Just make sure you change the radio file to the Topaz radio.:D

[Off-topic] mazzarin:
As anyone who follows the mobile industry knows, Palm is in a world of hurt.

One can point out many things that were flawed in their strategy, I personally thought the delay in releasing their PDK and their initial partner choices were some of the biggest missteps, not to mention their bizarre marketing campaign.

Now I'm being very US-centric here, but even their recent release on VZW and pending release on ATT won't make a whole lot of difference, because the Pre/Pixi hardware is now old hat and it'll act as "just another phone."

Despite all of that, I think webOS is a cleverly designed OS that might just be ahead of its time or outside of the capabilities of Palm to properly nurture.

In any case, as an ecstatic HD2 owner, I'm happy to see the form factor propagate in the form of the Evo. I was speaking with a friend of mine who has a Pre on Sprint and he acknowledged that the Evo was very cool, but wished it had webOS.

It stewed in the back of my mind for a while, but it vaguely came together just a few moments ago.

The problem with Palm right now is their hardware. The original Pre had horrid battery life, and sorely lacked RAM. The Plus editions added the RAM and continued with the poor battery life.

What's the next step? It'll be expensive as always to design, test, and roll out a new piece of kit. So why not continue in the Palm-as-of-late fashion and step on some toes.

If anyone remembers, when they first launched the Pre, it synced with iTunes because it looked like an iPod or an iPhone - I don't remember. And despite constant attempts by Apple to block it, Palm just kept coming back with an update.

So what of the possibility that Palm partially becoming a software house. I'm not advocating they ditch hardware design, but considering the porting of webOS to select hardware for a nominal fee ($100?) This would be similar to going out and buying Windows 7 to upgrade your XP or Vista machine.

Yes, it would require things like HSPL in the case of WinPhones or rooting in the case of Android phones, but that's why it would only be available on select hardware. Go to the Palm store and buy the webOS release for the HD2, and just pop it on. It would supply an additional revenue stream, probably cheaper than designing new hardware, and promote further webOS usage.

Potential problems include warranty voiding etc, but there's nothing stopping an image being made before flashing a new ROM.

Is this just the late-hour talking or what?
[Off-topic] burgertime:
Personally outside of the multitasking my pre really hasn't impressed me. I think that they miscalculated on that fact that people would want to run multiple apps from their phone. However most phone users are very single minded when it comes to doing things on the phone. So why the concept was a good one, it fell short on the consumer side. That is what is really killing Palm. They did little bring the "cool factor" which in today's market and what Palm wanted to do (sell lots of phones) was a bad miscalculation. So I'm not sure they would be able to sell the OS to phone users, since well most phone users wouldn't care to move over.

Just my two cents.
[Off-topic] totalperception:
Palm Hardware Old?

I find it funny that people call Palm's hardware old. Sure it may not have the Snapdragon like my HD2... but it's TI OMAP processor running around 600 Mhz is capable of running Adobe Flash. Hmmm... Sounds like ARM is the outdated hardware...

Now for the design the Pixi blows... A SureType keyboard would be redeeming on that device.

The Pre... Bigger screen would be nice and a slighly wider keyboard.

But yes... Amazing idea... I would love to see something like this come to fruition...

I believe that VMWare could be oursolution to this though. They're working on a product that will allow for dual boot OS on a phone device... WM Pro and WebOS would be my choices... unfortunately the lack of keyboard support on the HD2 would be an issue with WebOS. Most WebOS virtual keyboards are copy and paste after typing applications.

If a driver could be written for the PS3 bluetooth mini keyboard that would be great for both WM and WebOS.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
you can purchase it now on the T-mobile website or at Wirefly.com. I tried Walmart and Radio Shack and still no go. I am tempted, but going to try the store first in a few hours.
[HD2 General] omer1112:
T-mobile's website won't let you outright just buy the phone without a contract. They want you to purchase it at the store.

This is the error I got:

You have a wireless package in progress. To finish building your package, select a plan and add it to your cart.

See plans ›

To purchase equipment only (without a rate plan) please visit your local T-Mobile Retail Store

edit:

wirefly is charging a lot more ($540) vs t-mobile's retail stores: $450....no contract prices of course.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
That's true and that sucks. Sorry forgot to mention that.
[HD2 General] trueballerz:
Was thinking of purchasing this phone with the even more plus plan and then when I receive the phone I would cancel... But would I be charged the ETF? Assuming no since the even more plus plan does not require a contract. Trying to do this with the 35% bing cashback they have and not to sure if I want to try it. It would save me $450-$157*35% from bing* + $35 activation fee + $11 overnight shipping which would equal to $339. Not to sure if the hassle is worth it as well...
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
In order to get 35% cash back from Bing you would have to wait 60 days. This is the time it requires to make sure the phone has not been returned before then.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Update...

I have checked and Tmobile HD2 off-contract ($449.99) version is requesting selection for Even More Plus plan - no option to purchase device only.
[HD2 General] ~~Tito~~:
Wow its 99.99! That's perfect! . . .now I just need to get 200 dollars to pay my etf + taxes + phone.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlson001:
This is more a question about the forum, than the G1 itself. Would it be possible to create separate sub-forums for the different development builds? Perhaps G1 Android Development (1.x) and G1 Android Development (2.x).

Sorry if this has been suggested/rejected before, I looked (searched, that's all).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:

Wouldnt it ?

Or am I misunderstanding?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlson001:
No, I'm talking about when you go here: xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=446 (sorry about the link the forum won't let me post an "outside link" even though it's still xda.) Instead of having one Android Development sub-forum, we have two. One that is more focused on 2.0-1 development and ROMS, and the other that is for 1.X development and ROMS. I'm sure there would be some overlapping stuff, but it would make it easier to find information on Eclair builds versus Donut builds.

It might be a moot point, since androidspin.com has that new ROM matrix set up.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
it really wouldnt be wise to do that since if 2.0 officially releases, no one will be using donut anymore. remember with cupcake/donut came out? Those forums would still be there now if they adopted this policy

[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
So once again... no root for us that went to the 2.1 leak?
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
Nope. In order to flash a new rom without root, the HTC signature needs to be valid. In order to preserve root, the rom was modified by jcase to include su which breaks the signature hash. So, while you will be able to update to the official OTA update (assuming version is higher, which I believe to be the case), you can't install this rom.

Since most people will be updating to the OTA 2.1 away from the leak or away from 1.5, I'd personally recommend installing the OTA 2.1 directly from HTC. We'll likely be targeting it for root exploits next and abandoning version 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
To be clear, install the otaroot rom released by jcase if you already have root. Install the OTA rom direct from HTC if you currently have the leaked 2.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Thanks for the clarification. I really appreciate it. Can't wait for OTA root :)

The new 2.1 is exactly what I wished the last leaked 2.1 would have been. Its working so much better with no noticeable lag at all.

Thanks again guys!

wipe data

I have root now and am currently running the .3 rom, question

1. is this just an update to what i am running now?

2. Do i need to preform a wipe?

3. if i dont wipe does the phone maintain all my apps and settings i.e email google etc?
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
Damn, I was just uploading my all-in-one batch script and then I noticed this had been released... I started making a rom of it, then I noticed you already did! hah!

mv error: cross-device link

i have updated this rom, works great!

bu i can't mv from /system/app to /sdcard

error message is "cross-device link"

but i had already remount the /system partion as rw, and i notice that rm is working fine - i can remove files in /system/app, but can't move to another directory!

before update to this rom, mv is working correct

any advice?

btw, there is no busybox in this rom
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
same problem here. you can copy files and then remove the source. that's what I've been doing for my moves. As for busybox, I installed it myself, but I'm sure someone (if not me) will release an update.zip to install it sooner rather than later.
[Droid Eris Android Development] liushk:
thanks for reply

I tried install busybox myself, but it dosn't work. this is my steps:

adb push busybox /sdcard/

adb shell

remount /system

mv /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin

failed

adb shell

remount /system

switch to another console

adb push busybox /system/xbin

failed

and, there is no "cp" command, I didn't find another way to copy from /system/app to /sdcard/
[Droid Eris Android Development] shickfaced:
Wipe??

I just want to reiterate denonlake's question, does installing rooted OTA 2.1 require a wipe of DATA and CACHE partitions like the original root process? Can we preserve settings through this flash or is it best to go through the whole setup process again?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
The mv and cp commands are in busybox. I did not install busybox, so you don't have them. The Toolbox that comes with the OTA is lacking them.

Install busybox yourself, or wait for grdlock or ivan's release.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
in case anyone is interested, the Messages app bug and cell standby bugs are fixed in this release too (as well as the already known gmail login bug fix) :) the phone also seems to power down a lot faster than previous leaks.

havent tested google voice yet, probably cant till later today. someone else feel free..
[Droid Eris Android Development] shaninNH:
I first tried installing from zip through recovery.

This did not appear* to work.

Next, wiped device and cache, then installed zip through recovery.

Ok... lots of ROMs coming out all of the sudden. I love it, but it gets confusing..

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53963-guide-stock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a.html??

its not exactly the same. GrdLock added busybox as well as a few other things ontop of this version. If you are using GrdLocks guide, go ahead and use his version.

[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
5 question marks arent necessary. if you have root, then you hopefully followed a guide and installed recovery as well. so you have NO NEED for the ota root. go install a ROM like Evil Eris, Sense-able, or Ivan's v7. and dont ask where these are. you can find them

Since I had no way of getting my hands on HD2 as of yet I kind of tried to put 2 and 2 together to get image closer and compare HD2 size to Nokia E71 (my current phone)...
