Hello

I have a new Diamond2 that came with wm 6.5 installed.

Well, I prefer 6.1 over 6.5 so I flashed it with a 6.1 ROM.

The flashing went well but after the device is stuck in a start-up loop, it starts up and the "HTC Diamond 2" is seen on the screen, then it shuts down and starts up again, stuck in a endless loop. Only way to stop it is to remove the battery.

What to do????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Were these official ROMs or are you HSPL'd?

Did you try a hard reset?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] woodsman:
Yes, it´s a official ROM (1.39.413.1).

Yes, tried hard reset. Problem still there.

Getting desperate....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tornado89:
I'm having exactly the same problem like you do.

i bought it with WinMo 6.5 Pre-Installed and after downgrading

to the official 6.1 Rom ... The device is stuck at the same endless loop..

my only solution was to remove the battery ,hold the volume down button , re-insert the battery, this will take you to the boot screen you can just reconnect the USB cable and activate ActiveSync ( or Windows Mobile Center )

and Install the official 6.5 ROM again.... all went O.K. but still can't flash the 6.1 ROM,,, only the 6.5

Note: no Hardspl or anything
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] woodsman:
THANK YOU SO MUCH tornado89, you saved the day!!

It works again!

I don´t know vere you live friend, but if we ever come across each other I will for sure buy you a beer!

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tornado89:
HaHa :D

Free Beer, AWESOME

glad you sorted things out ,,,, +1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
the real answer to ur problem was not having hardspl installed. you see, the chaps at HTC assume ull love 6.5 and will never need to go back to 6.1. therefore, they did not code for this situation, and when it does arise, u get stuck in the aptly named "loop".

had u installed Hardspl before installing any rom, then it would have worked flawlessly.

cheers

I'm tryna figure out what the H happened but I'm having no luck so far. My T-Mo HD2 was working just fine until a couple days ago where XT9 word suggestion is no longer available on the full or compact QWERTY keyboards. It works just fine with SWYPE.

Any ideas what could be going on? I have scoured the net as well as using google to search this site to no avail.

I don't wanna have to hard reset my device (I'm running the stock ROM), but I may have to do so if there's no other alternative.

Note, I haven't tinkered around with any regkey settings (outside of BSB Tweaks application) so I'm not sure what else could be going wrong.

Any ideas to get my situation fixed would be most appreciated

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saniya:
Hi there, so I rooted my Sprint HTC Hero, and flashed the Fresh 1.1 ROM. But I don't think I am receiving all of my text messages. Could rooting/ Fresh be the problem? If so should I go back to factory settings or flash a new ROM?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JasjarMan:
Had the droid and with it rooted I can backup the WHOLE phone with settings, contacts, wallpaper,...EVERYTHING! Can this be done with the HD2?

Last night I had to hard reset with hardware buttons because I installed a keyboard and when I reset the phone it froze on the tmobile screen. I just had the phone completely setup and this happens!

I don't want that to happen to me again. I want to backup the complete phone/rom whatever can be done. What do you guys use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] thebesciak:
You don´t have to backup your ROM, it´s in your Phone Memory. For your Apps and Settings you can use SPB Backup or SKTools.

Resco Backup - really good app
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] quasi_mojo:
my HD2 came with sprite backup files on the memory card....

wether or not i'll need them is a different story! lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] petvas:
I use SPB Backup which also supports Restore after a ROM upgrade.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
I use to use SPb but once my backup neared the100mb mark it began to show errors saying the backup file was to large etc.

now using resco and it works great. not jus new backups but u can also just update your latest backup meaning its alot quicker.

think I used sprite a while ago but didn't like it for some reason,just my2c worth.

I'm using MyPhone (SMS, favourites), Outlook (people, appointments) and SASHIMI (esp. for auto setup of my e-mail-accounts and initial import of some registry-values to register my bought apps etc.). SASHIMI is definitely a MUST try. I do not really like all-in-one-solutions like Resco, Sprite or SPB - they can course too much problems for my taste.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] JasjarMan:
Going to try SASHIMI, so far I like reso and sprite.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cryshop:
Sprite Backup is the best, SPB backup is slow and buggy on my HD2.

Once you do the backup with SpriteBackup, you can do Hard Reset, Flash Rom, whatever you want, everything will just back to normal as It should be. (Dont need to reinstall apps or contacts, sms, mails...)

[HD2 General] OneNutShort:
I'll start by saying I really DO like this phone and don't wish to return it. I am coming from a BB 8320 which I also was a big fan of. This being my first wm/htc phone I have no idea how these two companies support their platforms. The phone obviously has some pretty bad lag/freezing issues as well as some weird glitches where the screen will shift and be half black. Now since its a brand new device in the market I'm totally willing to work with that as most new technology has some kinks to be worked out. I have even been looking into flashing a custom rom as I hear this will help. All this being considered I was hoping you all could perhaps tell me what to expect as far as a possible fix. Do you think this is something htc is working on fixing, or do you think I'm out of luck and should just get used to it? My phone is fully stock and has no additional progs/tweaks on it. I remember when I first got my BB that it had some problems with locking up while web browsing and eventually this was addressed and fixed by an update from BB, do you see a similar thing happening here? Thanks
[HD2 General] bored2nite:
To be completely honest I have never relied on the actually manufacturer to fix my problems... because even as you said that they eventually do... how long did you wait to do so.

I own a blackberry, windows phones galore (mostly HTC)... and both I have learned to fix on my own / use the forums to fix my problems. Blackberry 9700 for example.. greatest blackberry alive.. yes... but people hate the phone unless i fix /tweak it like i have mine because the OS the came in the phone with TMO sucked... but uploaded a unofficial rom and all better...

back to windows since thats the topic... every windows phone i have had has lasted longer than it normally would have (i based this on my patience with lag, lack of memory, and frequent crashing over time) because I learned how to flash "cooked" roms on to the phone.

These developers don't make the perfect rom... no one every will.. because not even the manufacturers can and they know the phone not only software wise but hardware better than any of us... BUT:

These developers make the best rom you will ever use compared to an "official" rom.

Will it fix your issue.. no idea... i get half a black screen some times on my cooked roms.. but it has happen once in a week... i will wait to see if it keeps it up. But the speed is better, the cooked in applications are better, and the support if there ARE problems is 10 folds over manufacturer support.

All my opinions are based on NRG's rom, using Mar 30th with cookie home tab (which once u use cookie home tab, you won't look back to stock home tab lol) He made my Touch Pro2 a better experience so I trust him with my HD2
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
First of all I have no knowledge of linux or android programming Im just guessing, asking, and researching on the way...

So in the villian 5.0 ROM the lockscreen was clear, with no bars or anything just the time and date showing on top of the back ground...I really really liked that:D

But I know in villian 5.02 the lockscreen has bars, its the stock sense theme...so I decided to take the htclockscreen.apk from the villian 5.0 and replace it in the villian 5.02 ROM, repackage the ROM sign it etc etc...HOPING to get clear lockscreen free of bars:confused:

BUT it didn't work...I have bars on my lockscreen:mad:

Can anyone tell me how i can get clear lockscreen bars like it was on villian 5.0?:confused:

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
Maybe try pushing framework-res
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
I'll try that and report back if it worked

Thanks for the suggestion
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
ahhh @%$#$%#^&%^#E&*$& IT DIDN'T WORK

Any other suggestions?...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
Can you post a screenshot of what you see & what you want to see?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
want and have

OK so I have the lockscreen with the bars (left pic) and I WANT a lockscreen that does not show the bars they should be transparent like it was in villian 5.0 (right pic)

P.S. after replacing the framework-res.apk as was suggested earlier I got the icons back from villian 5.0 like the circular battery meter etc etc.

BUT still no clear bars on lockscreen
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
OMG!!!

8 hours later I finally get a DAMN clear lockscreen with no arc

Thanks to all who helped...

P.S. I know there were many others who were interested in the lockscreen with no arc....I will post tomorrow how I did it

I downloaded the program "Bing" so I don't seem to need the program "Windows Live". How do I remove Windows Live?
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Addicted2xda:
You can not remove ANY program that came preinstalled in your Phone, since these are integrated with the OS. To remove windows live, you need to cook your own ROM and remove windows live while cooking it.

BTW does bing allow you to chat? Windows live is Live Messenger.

For any one who likes their Case Mate cover on their iPod and other products, you might find that the current HD2 cover by Case Mate DOES NOT fit the TMO-US model which is 1.5mm different. I think if Case Mate receives a spark of interest for this item through phone calls from TMOUS HD2 owners, They may want to comply with the demand.......give them a call as I did. They close at 5PM Eastern Time

CALL CASE MATE at 1-866-689-3432 AND HELP BUILT DEMAND for a great product. I find it interesting that they show a cover for the iPad on their website BEFORE its is even available for purchase but no cover for the best phone on the US market.

If it is available, please enlighten us at where this elusive item is to be purchased.
[HD2 Accessories] fantasytozi:
Hi all, here is a little warning from me and Beards, who purchased the Case-mate barely there silver chrome for out international HD2.

I already returned this case. It was really a bad experience. Although it looks very nice, thin, save the slim design for HD2, unfortunately, it was a nightmare to take the phone out of the case. If you want to take the phone out often, or you are the type that like to change case once a few days like me, or worse if your HD2 crashes or hang and you have to do a soft reset with pen, you really shouldnt buy this case. For the first time I put my phone into the case, and near 10' to take it out, it also nearly scratched all 4 rubber corners of my HD2. If I continue using this case, my beloved HD2 going to be just like the pics in Nightfire123 review, really terrible.

I really recommend not buy this case, if you dont want your lovely HD2 get scratches.

And here is Beard's opinion through our PM:

"When I received my case I was away abroad and it was my daughter who said she thought the case was marvelous.

However, since coming back home and having now tried the case I agree completely, it's an absolute nightmare to take off (only found this out the other day when I had to remove the case from the phone).

Only be grabbing one of the sides and pulling it really hard did I 'eventually' manage to prize it from the phone.

I shan't be returning the case as my daughter threw away all the packaging and it didn't cost a great deal.... I shall however keep the case so that I can use it to experiment against other cases."

U can check this thread from Nightfire123 to see how it will scratch your HD2 after using for a while

[HD2 Accessories] guardm:
Your opinion is exactly what I like to see and I greatly appreciate your input!!! You make a very good point; there is no soft reset access from the front of the device. Also, the memory card is also not accessible. I'm agreeing with you; maybe I don't want this case.....Buuuuuut, if they did make changes for fitting TMOUS HD2, and take customer complaints on the design into account, the new design may be as to improve on the errors of the previous. Hey, I'm an optimist.

You wont need Photoshop for an ordinary black JPEG file. Click into startmenu und open MS Paint. You get everything you need therefore.

2.) People should not formulate aggressive posts and reproach others. That's very unconstructive :)

Does MS aim for the general consumer or only high $$$ device$.

With such minimum specs and requirements the average user will not get a WP7 device.

So are they shooting their own feet or will WP7 come to less expensive devices and to the massive market?

[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
It's to make a good impression and to create a good image in their target demographic. You can't compete with the market leaders with a piece of economical junk, you have to impress with high-end capabilities then release the cheap stuff later on.

By cheap stuff do you mean there will be devices with lower specs running WP7?:rolleyes::cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
I'm sure your carrier will subsidize the phones. The HD2 only cost $179 on a 2 year contract, the Iphone 3GS cost $199.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dcarr622:
The way I look at it, there's no point to low end devices if they are all subsidized down to below $200, which everything is pretty much. The Nexus and HD2 are the highest end devices right now, and they are only $179 and $99 (Amazon) on contract.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
The standards aren't particularly high; some current phones satisfy them. And they're not particularly expensive to make; margins are huge.

The Nexus One is top-notch hardware but the parts only cost $174.15. On ebay they sell for $500-600.

Microsoft's low-end phone is called "Pink" and apparently runs a small subset of WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:

Microsoft sent out invites to the media for a "secret" event April 12, which is very likely to be to discuss their Pink line running a small subset of WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
That's just supposed to be a feature type phone I heard. Not near as many features as WP7 and smaller. I don't think anyone on this site would want that device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DMAND:
Because low end devices suck, and to ordinary consumers sucky devices are due to the opperating system apparently.

As seen many a time with rubbish specd qualcomm cpus in earlier WM devices and therefore the ordinary public thinks WM sucks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Erm, re-read the thread title?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shasarak:
I think the short answer to that is: because they want WP7 to directly trade punches with the iPhone. It's not going to be able to do that if it has noticeably inferior hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Radav:
by the time WP7 is released I dont think 1ghz cpu etc... is going to be that much high end anymore.
