Have to be tmobile customer to get warrenty phone? Is prepaid card customer count?
[HD2 General] tayte2003:
Sometimes it hard to relate when you are on a different level

I have been messing with PC's for twenty years.

But I must admitt. I was confused at first to what rom was what.

You might want to add to the how to flash a rom thread. a little more detail about the information describing the rom.

I know you stated in the how too 2.5 or higher. I think an example would help or change the wording. Just trying to help! Not being rude. I appreciate all I have learned from you all.

Thanks!

- CE OS 5.2.23549 (23549.5.5.0)

- Manila Version 2.5.20121412.1 <<< this will work for USA HD2

- Based on WM 6.5.X (upper icons)

hi,

i flash a t mobile hd2 with original rom htc italy, but the phon is died. it don't go to bootloader mode. can i make somethingh?

bye
[HD2 General] mskip:
Do you not read the stickies especially ALL the warnings in my flashing guide telling you to make absolutely sure the rom is compatable with your device. You cannot flash non Tmobile based Roms on a Tmobile 1024LEO.

I dont think there is anything you can do if you flash an incompatable rom onto your 1024LEO. The only thing you can do is take it back where you got it, say its not working and face the consequences.

My cdma vogue was easy to flash even cooked my own personal roms for it, I have had my tmo hd2 for about 3 weeks now, and will probably spend about another week or two reading before I begin flashing it, this gsm stuff is just way too far out of my "comfortable" zone. Too many varients of the phone too. People need to spend time and RESEARCH a bit before attempting something they have never done before.

[HD2 General] vladimir_v_d:
English not my native language too, sorry for it.

Read some themes, and as I understand: if write not compatible firmware to HD2 from US T-Mobile, it will be bricked and no ways for repair it? It detected on PC as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM", impossible write new loaders via this "device"?
[HD2 General] Sylux:
this is why i rather leave it on the rom it is on rather than flashing it.....cause if you mess up thats it, you bricked your phone and so far i have not heard of ways to unbrick it. use mods and tweaks instead of flashing( this is a suggestion ) other than flashing though is a great way to improve your phone's running state, memory, etc etc but if you do not follow the directions on how to flash correctly.....well x.x and may your phone RIP. lol
[HD2 General] t-mizzle:
First of all, no blame can be placed on XDA. While ROM threads state the compatibility, even if they didn't, one can't blame XDA. It's a responsibility of each member to ask if it's unclear.

That being said, I feel sorry for everyone that bricked their phone. The darn appeal of these custom ROMS can be overwhelming.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you flash an incorrect cooked rom, chances are you can recover. the phone will start but not boot so boot to bootloader and re flash.

the bigger problem is roms that include a radio (non tmous stock roms).

it appears to be the radio that kills them, not the rom.
[HD2 General] AllTheWay:
I agree guys lets keep this forum/thread clean and free of insults to other members.

I got the same problem

i flashed a wrong version rom, the hd2 is dead now. Can not powered on.
[HD2 General] dr_mo3az:
i have the same Problem is there any hope to solve this problem or i have damaged the motherboard please help
[HD2 General] Blairware:
Thats no the issue

There is no "physical" damage to the hardware. That being said, you HAVE painted yourself into a corner by loading code that PUT THE HARDWARE IN A UNUSABLE STATE.

This can happen to ANY flashable, or EPROM based device, it is the nature of the beast. While it is wonderful that the ROM is flashable (therefore, "upgradeable") it DOES require a certain amount or preparedness, and REDUCING THE RISKS.

This is why the RUU checks to make sure your battery is at least 50% charged. The Update Utility is doing its level best to prevent a bad flash due to power failure. This is part of the reason I ONLY flash from a laptop PC. Too many Thunderstorms in my neck of the woods for my comfort. It is also why, when you are performing the Flash, you need to click through, AND CHECK Several boxes that say: "I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS" - "I COMPLETED THE STEPS" - and so on. Heck, it even SHOWS YOU, ONE LAST TIME, WHAT VERSION YOU ARE ABOUT TO FLASH.

I can clearly picture that 9 out of 10 people who brick their phones, only read these screens enough to determine where to put the check mark.

Sure, I feel sorry for someone who is holding a DEAD HD2 in their hands, but you can NOT say the XDA-Developers needs to do a better job documenting. They had done due diligence to document their creations, and those who do a lousy job of it, well, let's just say there is a REASON that hardly anyone flashes those.

ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE who has read far enough to figure out how to perform a flash, even a bad one, has had AMPLE opportunity to see the dangers involved in just throwing a ROM that sounds "cool" on their phone. :rolleyes:

Ok, rant over. There. I feel betta!
[HD2 General] glcK23:
I've been flashing since my Touch Pro 2, now have flashed my HD2 a bunch of times. There is no trick to flashing, all you have to do is READ and COMPREHEND the instructions before flashing. Got a question? Make a thread, I'm sure you'll get 500 views but no replies, regardless, just ask before flashing if you don't understand it.
[HD2 General] Philysubsailor:
Do your homework...

I must say I was reading and watching youtube videos for a few long days before I felt comfortable in flashing my $450.00 dollar piece of goodness. There are plenty of great noobie flashing threads stuck to the top of the forum. I took a chance in flashing my spl from 2.10 to 2.08 via usb. Thank G*D it worked. If I blew my phone up it would have been my fault because I didn't follow the directions. The problem as I see it is that people want instant satisfaction and don't take the time to weigh the risks.

I love my HD2 and I'm totally hooked on the awesome things these mad scientist ROM cookers can make it do!! Ive only scratched the surface of the wonders this thing can do...

Read fellow noobies and youtube is your friend!! :cool:
[HD2 General] sbnanir:
ORT can repair your device

Good luck
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
That's all you're gonna say? At least explain what you're suggesting. I'm pretty sure most people that have bricked their device in this thread dont know what ort jtag is.

If you're going to suggest that method you should at least explain what it is. (Not saying its a bad suggestion)
[HD2 General] sbnanir:

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
nice to know it's possible, shame they cost nearly as much as a new tmous and dismantling is so dodgy.

not for the faint hearted!
[HD2 General] MLowed:
is not entirely true. you always can try work with hard force trying to flash back the rom. Using JTAG SHELL and apropriate usb. I can tell you that happen the same with me. I flash my hd2 with wrong flash. I dont really try JTAG cause it can damage badly the rom or not !:)

[HD2 General] ktvn2010:
dear all, i had my HD2 totally dead after flash, please tell me what im done wrong below,

phone turn off and dead!

please advise..

many thanks

best regards.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
What advice do you want, exactly? The best advice you can learn is never flash a non tmous stock rom onto a tmous, it WILL (and has,) killed your phone.

That rom you flashed contains a ..51.. version radio, and as we all know by now, they destroy tmous phones.

JTAG is your only option.
[HD2 General] ktvn2010:
Thanks for reply..

I bought it 3 days ago, then i find out the asian version build with Chinese its useful for me, my mistake is i had kill the phone then only know about radio version, any how i send the phone to shop for JTAG repair, hopefully can be done with in 3 days.

After repair i would like to install the ROM its support chinese, any introduce for me? please advise..
[HD2 General] yurigagarin61:
buy the european ones.they are more compatible with other roms
[HD2 General] ktvn2010:
I had read carefully which SPL & ROM may use, plan to flash it using..

SPL 3.03.0000 with Chinese: (HKCSL_CHT) 3.14.832.3

am i right? but still not understand about HSPL & SPL,

in DFT flasher, should i need to do 3.03.HSPL first then 3.03.0000 ?

or just direct flash 3.03.0000 then install ROM ?

many thanks & best regards
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Flash a custom ROM with chinese built into it is my advice.

just make sure you DO NOT FLASH A RADIO WHERE THE 3RD SET OF NUMBERS IS .51 or ANY radio below 2.07.xx

Honestly I'd recommend you flash a ROM that does not contain ANY radio, and manually flash 2.15.00 radio
[HD2 General] orangekid:
just flash 3.03 if you plan to ONLY use winmo and not Android or WP7, then flash your winmo ROM without a radio or with a radio which does not violate my above post.

If you plan to use Android or WP7 flash HSPL 2.08 (instead of 3.03)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Click on the guide linked in my sig I explain some on what SPL and HSPL actually is and why you need it. I also talk about what radios you should not flash to a TMOUS HD2, which os what you have, and why not.

please help...
[HD2 General] mskip:
You have a 1024LEO?

If its a Stock Hong Kong Rom then it wont support 1024MB Rom as only the Tmobile base Roms support 1024MB Rom.

If its a TMobile 1024LEO then you need to either flash a TMOUS Stock Rom or flash a custom Rom that has 1024 support with Hong Kong language cooked in.

You are very lucky you didnt brick your device you cant just flash any LEO Rom on a 1024LEO.

Mark.
[HD2 General] ktvn2010:
Thank you & thanks GOD im not brick my unit again, i understand now, my T-mobile original from HTC is T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1 but i dont know is it 1024LEO?

please guide me to which forum can learn how to flash a TMOUS Stock Rom has 1024 support with Hong Kong language cooked in?

I have a HTC HD2, today I try to make an upgrade, the upgrade finish and the phone turn off to make a restart, the phone don’t turn on since then, I try to make a reset pressing the button on the back of the phone, but don’t start, also I try pressing the volume buttons Up and Down for a while and the power button and nothing, nothing appears to work, I put in contact with HTC customer service but they told me that I need to go to t-mobile or if not directly with HTC Global Service, so I’m thinking send it to repair with HTC, can anyone tell me what I do, or what is the procedure, I want to send mi phone, .... i think i need a new one...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LunatikBunnie:
I see other HTC models(HD,HD2,Touch 3g) all have that clock widget that flips over as every minute passes. Using Beautiful widget gives the same design, but not the same functionality(the eyecandy effect). Is there a way to manipulate that at the moment?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
yes!

I too have been wondering if we can retrieve the Fancy "flip" clock again that just seemed to kill our poor slow g1's... But with the nexus i think it might as well come back! I think we've got enough speed ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
History: HTC took it out in one of the early hero updates.

Therefore unless they add it back we will not have it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jz9833:
Weather Widgets Donate version has the HTC sense flip clock. Is that what you are talking about?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
They want it to actually "flip", the above guy is right, it was removed in early Hero updates due to the lagging of the UI. For some reason that small eye candy caused Sense on Android to be mediocre, we can't have it back unless someone can recreate the effect.. because it is apparent HTC has given up on it for their Android Sense phones. Though, it may be able to optimized and added again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
From what I remember others saying is that that early build was never deodexed so it can't be used cross platform.

This is be done 100% by HTC and there is nothing we can do.

sorry ima noob to WM phones and i jus purchased a T-mobile hd2.i just want to know what r the benefits of flashing a rom over the stock rom and the radio?what is cooked rom?thanx
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
A cooked ROM is a personal version of a Read-only memory (ROM) made by a Chef (the one who cooks (creates a specific version).

On my personal experience cooked ROM´s have been over the past 5 years a much greater experience than any "official" ROM (ROM can be interpreted a the operating system version in a device)
[Windows Mobile] Addicted2xda:
Here is a very very n0000000000000000b question for Chef Central, sorry if I annoy the masters :p.

I have Installed EVK 1.8.2 as well as osKithcen 1.25 and also dumped HTC Asia ROM (official) for my Touch2 T3320 its 21854 Build.

Now I want to make a ROM with a new build, so I have downloaded

After unzipping the files, how should I incorporate them into my ROM using EVK (or osKitchen).

P.S. Please do not go by my number of posts, most of them were used in appreciating the great work from chefs of Vox & Gene.

OsKitchen? are you in oskitchen or ervius?

.dio file needs to be dumped with Xidump tool search there on the Da_G thread there are so many tools to dump .dio files ;)
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
i think the OS kitchen import build feature is designed for the "rollup" builds...all pkgs inside a single folder. the ones you tried are divided into language, dpi, ect for ervius visual kitchen. all you have to do is open each of those folders and copy/paste all of them into one single folder, then run the import on OS kitchen i think it should work.
[Windows Mobile] Addicted2xda:
Well I have downloaded both, since I am new to this stuff.. want to check out both. And will ultimately adapt to the one which I am more comfortable with (i.e. get more help on :p)

Now I have downloaded these three files

from Da_G's thread

Now here is what I did:

1. Unzipped all the files in a single folder named 21898 , it had two folders SYS and XIP.

2. Copied the SYS folder under EVK and renamed it to 21898.

3. Copied the content of the XIP folder to "C:\Ervius\Tools\xip.bin_new"

Now the problem is when I am trying to cook a ROM with this (Oh that kitchen is based on WM 6.5 Stock ROM (WWE ASIA) for Mega, it stops saying that I am using 6.1 NK.exe with 6.5 XIP and since the number of modules are too many, it will make an unbootable ROM. But I guess WM 6.5 have 6.5 nk.exe?

Where did I do wrong?

EDIT:

Even after deleting the existing kitchen and re dumping the stock wwe asia ROM, it is still saying that nk.exe is of 6.1!
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
mmm in fact you must to say to the kitchen if is or not a 6.5 in OSK... well... in evk you just need to be sure where to put ROM cause i see you dont know how to arrange the XIP in EVK look in the tutorials ;)
[Windows Mobile] Addicted2xda:
Sorry, I am must be appearing to be lazy, but I am not :p. At the moment I am downloading the videos from Youtube and will check them out ASAP. Also have saved your tutorial and will take a printout to read it properly. Sorry I can not focus on Monitor :o.

Will study it tomorrow and revert back for clarifications :).

[Windows Mobile] Addicted2xda:
Finally finished your great tutorial... but the thing is even with the stock ROM of Mega as base, EVK says that nk.exe 6.1 and not 6.5.

I simply dumped the Stock ROM and recooked it, no changes nothing. BTW I did got the nbhutil.xml with mega settings though... ;)

Is there any other setting that needs to be changed So that EVK recognizes the nk as a native 6.5???

P.S. clicking on the Native check box does have no effect :confused:

i guess it isnt another settings the kitchen reads what you have in the nk.exe

wich build is your Original rom?
