Hi Dear Guys ,

Is it possible to flash stock rom of different seriel ( Region ) with out doing bepe hspl2 , i mean if i have stock rom with asian wwe and i download eu wwe from official htc site , can i flash that stock shiped eu wwe rom on my asian wwe serial hd2 with out doing any hspl or sspl

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tomasz:
Wow! Really important indeed!

If you'd have taken the time to read the stickies, you would know that it's not gong to work and you'll get an 'Invalid vendor ID' error message.

Why would you not want to flash HSPL? With HSPL2 available, it's easy to revert to stock SPL and flash a stock ROM, should you need to send your device for repair or anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, you'll need to use either hspl or sspl.

@ tomasz

i was used before kovsky that was my 1st htc brand and its much differ with black stone

Dear Guys ,

according to study , stock spl only revert back by usb method , and my second question , after hspl2 can i use official ruu (htc offcial updater) for updating custom roms ? as i think if i use it to flash i dont need task29 as offcial updater clean even binary files .. any idea ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
HSPL2 can also be used to revert back to stock spl. After installing hspl, the flashing is the same as got the Blackstone, ie run the RUU. Some have used the official RUU instead of the CustomRUU to flash, but I haven't tried it and I just use Task29 prior to flashing. The whole thing from Task29 to installed rom takes only 5 minutes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] newstar:
@ ClydeB1 Thanks

My stock HSPL is 1.66.0000

i can do any hspl2 version for me ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
You can do anything you want - HSPL2 is used to flash ALL version of HSPL and SPL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As long as you choose one of the spl's ending in HSPL and not 0000 you can flash to any cooked or stock rom. Use HSPL2 again to return to your original spl when needed.

Hello,

I saw on here that HTC will be releasing an update "2.1" The date was for tomorrow. But I have not heard or seen anything else, nothing in the news...

Does anyone have any info or know how I would go about getting hold of it.

Right when i purchased my HTC HD2, I knew that the headset that was budled with the phone was going to be utter crap... so I decdied to go searching for the "Perfect" Headset... (Music is very important to me.. and I'm not into the Blue-Tooth headsets) so I ended up purchasing these...

V-Moda Headset

I never heard of the brand but after some research and personal use.. They are by far the best ear pieces that I have ever owned... I highly recommend these to anyone who's currently in the market for some... although they are priced a little higher then most headsets.. I say that they are worth every penny and the quality in the Sound and Looks department is apparent.

Here's their website

www.v-moda.com

5/5 *if anyone has any questions feel free to post*

Cheers :cool:
[HD2 Accessories] p3eps:
I bought a set of V-Moda's about 2 years ago when the first iPhone came out. It had a recessed headphone port, and very few headphones would fit without an adapter. I ordered a pair for about £100 as they sponsored modmyifone and were highly recommended. The sound quality is great... very bassy, and they look good too. Mine have a single button on the mic which lets me answer the call or use MSVC. They've maybe moved on a bit in the last year?

I'd definately buy another set.
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
Yea the model I bought came standard with a 3.5 jack... but it did have an option for you to send proof of purchase if needed and they will send you a 2.5 adapter.. which i thought was kinda cool... great product
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
just figured i'd add the fact that i see that Best Buy is carrying these... and there's a V-Moda sale for these premium headsets... so yea.. just incase some others are interested for rocking some nice headsets with your shiny HD2

I've got a USB charging cradle in my car which works fine.

I use a 3.5mm cable to connect my mp3 player to the car stereo which works fine.

I tried playing music from my HD to the stereo whilst charging and I get awful white noise and a constant pinging noise. If I take the phone off the charger it works fine. I can't find anything in the wiki or forums and I've seen some people on other forums with the same problem.

Anyone know what is wrong with this setup or I need a different spec cable (I guess its a standard stereo 3.5mm cable, so 3 contacts and I think the HTC one has 4 coz of the mic, but it works fine when I stop charging it. I guess it could also be a problem with the pins on the USB charger, but I thought the HD didn't have the extUSB connection.

I'm off to the USA on Sunday with a hire car so it would be really handy to be able to charge and play music!

Hi,

Sorry to be such a noob but what are the advantages of rooting?

And if I was thinking of doing it, why would I?

Sorry again ... I am a newbie :)
[Desire General] CarpeDiemsNuts:
@Raminder1992

Plenty of advantages to root but in order to understand them and the whole process you need to search the forums with reference to other handsets to give you an idea, if we answer your questions it only leads to more new members posting basic questions in what is a development forum that currently is hanging on what happens next with the desire rooting process.

In other words click the search button and take some time to read or you'll just annoy those of us that desperate for progress on this handset.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
Best way is to make a sticky FAQ thread with all the answers to thies
[Desire General] patasenko:
Simple:

root=administrative rights to the system........ basically the same thing in your computer when you have administrative account...

normal mode is like a normal windows user account where you have possibility to (un)install software but you cannot change the system
[Desire General] pascanu:
So the final piece in the puzzle is about to be delivered. I'm buying it!
[Desire General] seaders:
there are many, many reasons, but to give a few examples. firstly, those of us not in regions where google allow us to access the paid apps, we can change that by a few parameter settings, we can also change where we're from, if a developer wanted to block out our region, for whatever reason. after that, when you look even further, there are plenty of apps on the market that require root to work properly, there's one that allows you specify what apps launch on startup, there's a firewall that allows you control what connects through your data plan, there's a flashlight that keeps your camera flash on and many, many more. without root, these things don't work properly, because they don't have the right permissions.

for me, the reasons above are good, but not the main reason. for me, where I work, we use a LEAP wireless security system that (I think) all Android devices can connect to, without a problem. unfortunately though, the Android developers haven't added that option to the wireless config GUI. this isn't a problem if I get root, because then I can just edit the config file and change one line. without root, though, I don't have wireless connection during a good part of every day, which sucks.

[Desire General] Bumble-Bee:
Its going to be hard

What most people are forgeting with this is that a simple .ko file will not solve our write privalage problem with the desire. (Not saing its impossable) but very difficult as the Desier HW has a better memory protection system than any android phone to date (same as N1 we cant relock).

On a positive note once a root method is found we will be able to use it on all Snapdragon based devices (N1, Desire, Ledgend, Incredable, Evo-4G)

[Desire General] svirre26:
Hi all! Concidering buying a Desire, but want it rootable.So that we all can enjoy custom roms. Now what I dont get is; Some say its rooted, but without read/write access. What does this mean? It's not rooted then is it?
[Desire General] jayshah:
You need to be clear about your definitions.

To have root, means you have uid/gid 0 privileges - you are the super user.

However, this memory/system protection is something 'above' root, so despite us getting root, we can't disable it.

Think of it another way: if you used your host system to setup 10 virtual machines, each one with individual root access, you would say you had 'root' to each machine. However, from inside each machine, you cannot access the hosts data (given that's the point of encapsulation) but you still say you have root. In theory, I'm sure with the root access we have a lot can still be done, just not enough to replace the ROM which is the end goal. I, for one, got root initially just to use the cool tethering apps, not knowing that so much more can be done in terms of replacing the phones OS.
[Desire General] Bart1981:
Ok root is possible. But is there a guide how to do this?

I know thera are still problems with the priveliges for writing the System map, but root alone would be much more convenient because of Wireless theter for exaple.

So could somebody post a clear, step bij step guide how to get root on the Desire?
[Desire General] slaming:
so is it just the rom that they can't access? so like they can't flash roms and the like?
[Desire General] jayshah:
Paul (the original person who rooted it) hasn't posted details of this yet. My best guess would be to try the m6/m7 exploit binaries that are floating around.

There is no write access to the /system partition, so yes.
[Desire General] Sethos II:
Doesn't that make the root access kinda useless?

I mean, most things you want to do with a rooted phone are writing to /system, e.g. in order to install apps to the SD card.
[Desire General] jayshah:
To some extent yes. However, if for the time being, certain applications such as the ability to WiFi tether still functioned then I would be more than happy to stick with that until the ability to install custom ROMs comes along.
[Desire General] Sethos II:
Well, my only issue with the device is the limited internal storage.

Hopefully, someone will be able to root the desire then we can use Apps2SD to move apps to the SD card.
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
Paul @ Modaco has gained root, but not yet write access. He's on holiday atm, so you'll have to wait for him to get back and complete the rooting process, just like the rest of us.
[Desire General] Ghisy:
Agreed. I just got my phone today, installed a bunch of apps and I only have 78 megs available...

If rooting the phone means Apps2SD will work on it then I cannot wait for it to be rooted!
[Desire General] MasDroid:

[Desire General] pascanu:
Is it an issue or a concern? I mean have you really filled up al that space?

I have a G1 (my Desire is coming today!) and have apps2SD on it, on a partition of only 300 MB, installed everything I could think about (> 120 apps) on it and still have room to spare.
[Desire General] drvdijk:
Problem being apps2SD doesn't work yet on the Desire, so it's an issue at the moment
[Desire General] sh500:
You will quickly fill up the Desire's [internal] memory; I currently have 17 MB free with not that many apps installed - I'd say about 30.
[Desire General] pascanu:
I spoke to soon: got my Desire yesterday, filled it up in no time (I have < 30%) free. I have no idea what filled it up so fast (probably some cache besides apps) but it's worrying! The good news is that it hasn't slowed down a bit, it's so fast it should come with airbags as standard :)

I have searched, and have not found any information that can help me.

I have a touch that the Service Centre want £90 to repair - new motherboard. Is this fixable with a jtag - If so, does the Holly Gates Schematics for a Jtag Dongle work here?

Has anyone successfully JTAG'd an ELF? If so, was it due to a similar circumstance as myself?

Anything I have come across goes to Russian sites - I'm not russian, nor can I read it.

I have seen posts for other devices, but these seem to all be based on a Samsung Chipset, apposed to our OMAP devices?

Any help would be great, even if it is just to go read a post that I have missed when searching.

Hey,

Please see attached image.

This points out the JTAG test points, labelled to what they do (in theory) and what pin they connect to the JTAG device from the LPT cable.

I think these are very small to be able to tape them on, I also do not think that they would give a good enough connection. I am going to try to solder the cables on tonight - but in the mean time, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Any ideas are good!

Hi captainstu72,

I have a completely dead HTC Touch P3450. Really dead. Even when I plug the charger to the device, the orange light (as a sign that the phone is charging now) can not light on.

Hey bombom81,

I'm glad this can be useful for others. I just want to make sure that people don't get their hopes up too soon, thats the thing, I don't know if it is definately able to work, but I know it has been done on other phones with a very similar chipset to ours.

If I have any major break through tonight, I will definately be doing a write up on it tomorrow in my lunch, and If you'd like I can PM you when done so you can give it ago.

Your ELF sounds as though it is in a similar state to mine, so hopefully, if I get this fixed, it may well work on yours!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] bombom81:
Yes..I had this problem months ago and I've made a thread for it :

Unfortunately, every suggestions I got from people here didn't work in my device. And I could not even claim a warranty for it as the seller said that the product warranty is already expired too long ago (in the end I knew that the product was his present from his office, and when he said it is new, means that, It is new because He never used it...LOL, not "new" from the factory). So I just keep it in my cupboard.

I think It will be more valuable for others if we discuss here, on your thread, than PM, as I think there are many people are having the same problem like us (as many as I can find after I google "Repair Totally Dead ELF" :) )

Please, kindly also check this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=602233

This guy also found a similar thing like yours. I actually don't know a thing about JTAG. In the future, please forgive me if I might ask you some questions about it and I hope you don't mind about my questions.

Thanks for your kind to share your experience with us, I'll keep watching this thread and hopefully you'll be success with your experiment so it can bring the joy for all of us.
