hmm well you can always try a hard reset, do you have all of your contacts synced or backed up?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
is your phone connected to your computer now? in other threads people report they lose there sd card when its plugged into the computer
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
I just notice that my mac is reading and showing the SD card from the phone. I am able to see the files that are on the card and able to play the transformers movie on my iMac.

strange isn't!
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
Yes! you are correct, I disconnected the phone from the computer, and the sd card now shows on the phone.

Guess, problem solved.

About the flashing, you think I will be better performance from the phone?

thanks again for all your help.
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
good to hear im glad it worked, yeah i was totally impressed and glad i flashed to Touch X Rom Read the thread and you'll see that many agree! I'm not an expert by any means but i would do a search and see if you even can with a mac you might need to use a diff computer or use a diff guide
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
Cool, I will look into it ... cheers
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
Hey Jimmy,

Would any of those custom roms allow me to unlock the phone?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
not quite sure try using the search thread tool and see if anyone else was able to accomplish this
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
This is from the phone. Does everything look ok to begin the ROM updates. You said that the HSPL2 is the first thing to flash. what's the next step after?

Info:

Software info from HTC HD2

- OS version : 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

- Manila version: 2.5.20121412.1

- ROM version: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE

- ROM date: 02/22/10

- Radio version: 2.08.50.08_2

_ Protocol version: 15.34.50.07U
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
i assume ur using a pc to do this

Download hspl2 ->install

Download task 29-> flash (this erases all data)

Download ROM make sure its T-Mobile US Compatible the one on my signature is ->install

To install make sure your computer is properly configured to active sync on a pc then run setup on pc and it will prompt the flash on your phone.

Once hspl2 is flashed power the phone off hold the volume down and end key and if you get the tricolor screen you did it correct.
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
I runned the hspl2 setup from my laptop running windows xp pro and the program gave this error:

"CRITICAL ERROR

Flow: 00000001

Error code: 00000002

Description: USB connect failed!"

Any ideas here?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
did you install active sync d/l it from windows.com? make sure you also set the phone to activesync

settings-->menu-->all settings-->connections-->usb to pc-->choose activesync
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
The hspl2 was successful. Now I am about to update the ROM version, and I get this:

Update the ROM version from Image version: 2.10.531.1 to image version: 2.0.00.00

Is this correct? Is the version suppose to going down less?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
is that for the task 29? dont worry about the version going down smaberg keeps everything up to date all his builds are great go ahead with the update although it may appear to be a downgrade its not.
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
The Task 29 completed the update fine, I saw the phone restart and now it is stuck. All I see on the screen is a logo that says "stick together".

The task 29 program said that the update might take up to 10 mins, but mines completed in less than a minute. Was that too quick? and what should I do about the phone not booting to the sense UI desktop?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
take out the battery

remove the cable

put battery back in

hold vol down & end

once the screen loads plug the cable in

flash the rom! (if you have not already done so get it from the thread or click Download build 23563 from sig)

then when finished do a hard reset

enjoy the rom
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
Apologizes, but how do I do a hard reset?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
while the phone is on hold end key then

click softreset

immediatly hold vol up and down same time then it will say press vol up or something wait and your done
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
I did that, but the phone comes back to that same old white background with the pink "stick together" sign.

Did I just brick my phone?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
no you did not. did you ever download the rom im not talking about the task 29 you must go into bootloader as i posted before then run the rom from your comp while connected d/l the rom from my signature where it says download build
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
No, I haven't downloaded any ROMs. I was only using what was listed within task29 [image version: 2.0.00.00].

Now I am downloading "touchxtreme 23563". Is that specfic rom you are referring to?

After it is downloaded, does it get installed via task29?
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
sorry i wasnt clear enough

task29 is to wipe out your phone before flashing you must always run this b4 you flash this is not a rom just a necessary step

the rom you are now downloading is the actual phone software so when its done unzip it

load up the tricolored screen

run the exe file on ur computer than it will flash the rom!
[HD2 General] bhagiratha:
alright, phone is back up. got the new rom installed. Now what? is there anything else that I need to do? personally I dont like the analog clock, is there a way to change that.

many thanks
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
yeah hard reset to prevent bugs i already posted how to do it and this time it will work lol

yes its cookies home tab

menu-->edit layout--> press n hold over clock then arrow over!
[HD2 General] jfmckenna:
by the way if you want to have the soft key for ok and start menu install this cab but be sure to check out the thread in my sig where it says rom touch x if you ever have a question search that thread it may have been answered already or ask me or post in that thread

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stained-steel:
I have searched exhaustively for the (NOT transparent!) blue flip clock that is included in the stock AT&T Tilt2 ROM (seen below), with no results.

If there's anyone on XDA who has it, or has the capability of extracting it/cabbing it up (or can even instruct me as to how to extract it myself, as I am trying to learn the art of ROM cooking myself, and have some tools available :rolleyes: ), I would be quite appreciative!

Thanks in advance! Any questions, see my sig. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kdizzle720:
If anyone has it i'd like it too!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] chadster214:
Look for a flip clock cab. and see what files are included in there. now go to your windows directory and look for those files and copy them and paste to you sd card so you can extract them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jcterry:
Hope this helps.

I copied all of the "*_manila" files from the Windows folder. I used CFC_GUI to get the file names and copied them to the attached folder. I am by no means an expert, but I have made some themes for TF3D for myself. To the extent of my knowledge, these should be the only graphic files for the original flip clock. They came from AT&T's 6.5 ROM with TF3D 2.1. Hope these are what you are looking for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kdizzle720:
I have an Energy rom flashed with manila 2.5, so would that folder still work on my phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
No because it's for Sense 2.1.

I copied over all the files and it didn't do anything to anything lol. Was hoping to use the clock too :(.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tempest790:
Is it possible to make a look alike clock for the Sense 2.5? I can design the images, but would need to see how they could be installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lubbad85@hotmail.com:
2.5 version

Here is a shot at the 2.5 version with transp background
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tempest790:
Thank you very much. That was what I was looking for as well. I made a wallpaper based on the stock Tilt 2. I just needed to match the clock.

I'm running the Energy Cookie 23xxx ROM. I changed out the wallpaper on all portrait and landscape screens. I just loaded your clock and it looks perfect.

Thanks again!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] good223:
I couldn't seem to find the answer but I was wondering if all g1 versions can be rooted and unlocked. :confused:

If not all can, what should I look for to make sure it can be rooted?

What firmware should I look for? model? version?

Also can I gain root access on the latest firmware from T-Mobile?

Lastly, I plan to buy a g1 off craigslist which is why I'm tying to find the answers for these questions.

Thanks in advanced!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
all g1s can be rooted and unlocked. rooting doesnt no unlock the phone. you have to input the unlock code into the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
It is bad news , then good news, then bad again. My phone was stolen from where I work. It was found 5 hours later. It was really wet when it was found. (we don't know how it got wet, nor for how long it was in water..)I dried it off, put it in rice for 48 hours...I have turned it on, and it stays on for about 3 min. Then it shuts off. It will not start up again unless I take out the battery. And will do the on thing for 3 min again, etc...

So I have questions...If I keep this thing in rice for a longer period, does it have a chance of working? I filed a police report. I have a case #. What are the chances of HTC covering this by warranty? The water indicator mark on the phone itself is pink/red. The battery is pink cross-haired. It doesn't look as pink as the phone unit itself.

I called HTC just now. They are closed until Monday. I just wanted to get some varied opinions. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
well first question is, do you have insurance for the phone? i dont think HTC would take care of it as of they only replace if the phone has defects, but insurance would, theyll be your best friend in situations like this, happened to my Touch Pro, i put the sucker in rice for 5 days and its working great, only thing is that there still some spots left from the water on the screen, but its barely noticeable, but the day it got wet, called up AT&T and they said theyll send me a new phone, which how i ended up having a Tilt 2

also to add on to this, i dont think the cops can find out who stole it :confused: who knows....someone can come up and admit it....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
my phone was stolen about a month ago...i just called tmo and submitted a claim via asurion...from your sig, it appears this may not be an option for you...

chances are, they will deny your claim, as the phone is in you possesion and is wet. how are they to know that your phone was stolen as opposed to you getting it wet. as a former claims adjuster, that's how I would view it.

lastly, do you have a cell phone repair shop in your area, it may be worth your while having them take a look at it, rather than getting htc involved...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] t0mmyr:
if you have asurion insurance they shouldnt deny you a claim but it may be different in the area you live in, for me with sprint i must pay a $100 deductible but it covers theft, physical damage, and water damage for a replacement
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
No, I do not have any insurance on the phone. I have Home Owner's Insurance, but I believe my deductible is prob pretty high.

I don't know about Asurion. It looks like they cover the Carrier's phones, not an unlocked one.

I was in hopes that HTC would cover it since I didn't get it wet myself. It was stolen from my office at school...( a &*#@ student did it). Since I have a police report and case #, I can verify that it was stolen and discovered "wet." You don't think HTC would accept that? I mean, it is all true.

It is so discouraging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Rock and a hard place

It's unfortunate what happened yes, but HTC only feels responsibility to cover repairs that are related to faulty manufacturing...even though you can prove that it's not your fault the phone was stolen or damaged, those are both issues that only some type of insurance would cover, I'm sorry to say. Assurion is the company that provides harware insurance to most of the major carriers, but yes I think it's only offered on phones bought from/through the carrier itself....you would know if you had it because there'd be a small (~$10) charge on your bill each month for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
What if I got a Square Trade warranty?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Well sure if you had that on the phone then you should be just fine...their terms clearly say they cover immersion, so they shouldn't give you any hassle about it. Although, I do see that their fine print states "unlocking a cell phone after purchase will void the warranty"...so don't know if you might get a hassle for the custom ROM, or if they only care about carrier unlocking.

Now, if you don't have the Square Trade warranty yet and were thinking about purchasing it and then submitting this claim, they might have an exclusion period where you can't make a claim within the first x number of days after buying the warranty, if the phone isn't brand new when you purchase the coverage (that's not unheard of in the 3rd-party warranty business)

EDIT: Yes, they do have a 60-day exclusion period...anything happening in that period is considered to be "pre-existing". And, it looks like you have to purchase the coverage within the first 30 days after the auction that you bought it from.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] datawrhsdoc:
Suggest you do the following:

1) Batteries are easily damaged by water and can become a silent fire hazard, so remove and dispose of the battery Leave the back cover off the phone.

2) Give the phone a very thorough bath in distilled water (no soap or anything) to remove any contaminants. Optionally, disassemble phone first.

3) Shake as much water as possible out of the phone

4) Wrap phone securely in paper towel

5) Place phone in a bowl of instant rice, and cover bowl with plastic wrap

6) Put bowl in a sunny place

7) 24 hrs after there is no more condensation on the plastic wrap, your phone is as dry as it ever is going to be

8) Put new battery in phone, replace cover, and charge for full charge cycle

With a little luck, your phone will be working as good as new.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
Thanks. I will try above steps. I will keep you posted here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
So out of curiosity, I tried the phone again. It comes on for 3 minutes, then goes blank. (shuts off) While it is on, the phone itself gets really hot, as well as the battery when I remove it. What is this a sign of?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Did you try following the advice where it said to replace the battery? You can get them dirt cheap on ebay if you havnt. I would try that first myself as that would save a lot of time AND money if thats all it is.

You also might be able to get a new battery from your carrier. I've heard of people walking in and saying hey I only get so many minutes out of my battery and they just give them a new one. I would go in NOT say anything about dropping your phone in the water and saying the battery only lasts three minutes, then show them how it turns off after. You may end up getting a free one.

Again thats assuming you bought it from your carrier and not direct from HTC. If you didnt.. ebay!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
I finally got a different battery put in the phone. I also did a hard reset. The phone went thru the process of booting up, setting up phone for 1st time, etc...it stayed on for about 5 min. Then.....BLACK...BLANK screen. Now when I try to start it up, it will only last about 60 seconds.

Suggestions on what to do next? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Time for a new phone!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, it's time to throw in the towel on this one I'm afraid :(

EDIT: I don't see for sure that you followed steps 5-7 in datawrhsdoc's instructions above...did you? It may be past that point yet, but it's the only other thing that might have had any chance of helping you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] i<3myphone:
I had already done the rice trick. Thanks for following up. dang this just pisses me off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nrfitchett4:
yeah, if you turned on the phone while the electronic components were wet, chances are something fried inside. time for a new phone.

and why would htc pay to repair this phone? warranty only covers manufacturer's defects.

on the positive side, you can find tp2's for about 250.00 right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
thought i wanna share this everyone but i noticed that my battery is wayy off, its showing the green light and its showing 98% but im using the WIFI Router :confused: does this still mean that the battery is out of calibration, today is only day 2 but ive been noticing that this morning, charged it on USB on PC and the charging light shows but when im on opera, instead its starting to drop little by little....what can i do to prevent this from happening
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
It is possible to drain the battery faster than the charging cable supplies power, especially if you're plugged into a USB port (which supplies much less power than the wall plug). Things like wifi sharing in particular can do this (it takes a lot of juice to broadcast that signal!), possibly even just running data over your 3G (like with Opera). The battery will get even warmer than usual when this is happening, and I suspect that can also reduce it's lifespan.

I just did Verizon's MR1 upgrade for my Touch Pro 2, which gave me WM6.5 and it works great. BUT...when I go into the options for sounds and notifications, and try changing the notifications for "new text message," the checkbox and settings for the blinking light are grayed out and I'm unable to change it.

I want the light to blink longer than 5 minutes....but they won't let me change it...does anybody know a fix for this?

[Droid Incredible General] 1bigdog:
Hi,

First I hope it’s alright to post this here.

I have been a windows mobile user for years, presently Verizon I760; I really would like to get the Incredible. I have two things that concern me. Any Information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

1. Will I be able to get outlook and the phone to automatically sync contacts, and calendar (both ways) when I connect it with a usb cable?

2. Will I be able to voice dial with a Bluetooth headset?

I am a small business and normally sync to my work computer and my home laptop. I have no idea what exchange is or if that is an option for me.

Thank you advance for your help.
[Droid Incredible General] rkaplins:
I am very much in the same boat as you as a long time Windows Mobile user (presently with the XV6900). There are several ways to do what you are asking but as of yet, in my opinion, none are great.

One is CompanionLink (companionlink.com/androidusb/ol-android-usb.html). While it does use a USB cable, it uses its own custom apps for calendar, contacts, and everything else. It is unclear to me at this point how big of an issue that is. For example, if you are trying to make a phone call and all the contacts were imported into this custom program, will it find them?

The next is Missing Sync (markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html). It does what we both want, importing the data right where it is supposed to go, but they aren't quite there yet. I have been watching this software for months and slowly they add features. For example they just recently added the ability to sync notes. They still don't let you sync Calendar as of yet.

Lastly the backup plan for me at the moment is using Google's own sync software so you will sync your calendar and contacts with Google's website automatically and your phone will get the info from Google. I am not a big fan of this as I don't particularly want my info online and I would rather it go straight to the phone if I happen to be going somewhere with no internet access. Like I couldn't sync my phone if I was abroad.

So, I am waiting for Missing Sync to get done and until then am planning on using Google's service.

As for Bluetooth dialing, I imagine so but I am not sure.
[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
There is also HTC Sync
[Droid Incredible General] rkaplins:
Deejx! You are my hero. I feel so happily dumb. The description on the HTC website says:

HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well.

PERFECT! Thank you. Wow much better.
[Droid Incredible General] pimpindexter:
HTC Sync seems to be able to Sync Via the USB cable

How ever i ran into a program that syncs stright into Gmail itself.

You can find this and more on my blog http://techadminspot.blogspot.com/2010/04/getting-ready-for-htc-incredible.html

The software that syncs outlook with gmail is called CompanionLink http://www.companionlink.com/

Also Dropbox is working on a Android App to sync files.
[Droid Incredible General] tacticalmedicokc:
No Bluetooth Voice Dial on Android

As far as voice dialing from your bluetooth, Android doesn't support that yet. There are several threads on Googles forum about this including this one: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1412

Hopefully they'll get it together soon.
[Droid Incredible General] n0-0ne:
lol not likely, it's been open since 2008 ;)
[Droid Incredible General] sdsmithinc:
HTC sync won't work with Outlook 2010 64 .as of yet. You have to transfer your contacts and Calendar stuff to your gmail account. One way is to download a transfer program via 'trial', then transfer from gmail to phone using HTC sync. Can only verify for Win7 64 and Office 2010 64.
