[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drspikes:
I suspect it is a windows 7 issue. On the first attempt I managed to downgrade when I moved to my Vista machine.

I must have tried for about 6 hours with Win7 then moved back to my old Vista PC and it worked first time.

From observing the process on Win7, when the phone boots to the bootloader, the RUU program then gives it 180 seconds to confirm Bootloader is loaded "waiting for bootloader...1-180sec". Looking at the system tray the USB driver that is used for HTCsync disconnects and the device now says it is Android 1.0 and Win7 needs to find a driver for this. Win7 fails to find a driver for "Android 1.0" so it never allows propper communication between the phone and the computer.

(There are separate Win7 64-bit drivers - check you are using these?)

P.P.S. The stock card that came with the phone worked fine as a Goldcard for me and I think most people.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msiviter:
OK I've now tried on a sp3 x86 XP machine and I still got Error [140] and [131] whether trying from phone synced to pc or phone booted in Fastboot USB.

I've given up. I'll wait until June!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
You installed the latest version of HTC Sync while your phone was unplugged/ Then you plugged the phone in to detect new drivers. Waited for the drivers to successfully install and then ran the RUU?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
What drivers are reading in device manager when in the normal os? And same question when in fastboot mode?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msiviter:
I did exactly that on my win7 x64 and xp mce sp3 x86 pc's both had 'My HTC' in Device manager and had a sync relationship established with the latest 'Legend' HTC sync software.

Both gave the almost random error messages although now the bootloader almost finishes now so I'm past the [171] usb (driver) errors and I'm on [131] and [140] errors which pertain to bootloader and incorrect customer errors which I think are goldcard related. Although like most people I do rush through things and not read instructions! I've now made 4 goldcards via the various guides and I'm sure they are OK.

My Bro is getting his desire this week and I was determined to beat him to eclair but it looks like I'm in the lap of the T-mobile gods waiting until June (or july....September.... December etc).

I have same issue with msiviter, CUSTOMER ID ERROR.

I was able to run RUU regarding to guid from btdag (section IV).

What can I do now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuma24:
try deleting the drivers and then starting again perhaps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiz0r:
I have the same issue here, can't downgrade to the previous Orange RUU, also using Win7 x64.

Have tried reinstalling drivers, and using other ROMS, nothing seems to work. I also find that when I run the RUU it loses connection to my phone before it even tried rebooting the phone into the bootloader.

this is how i've done 2 of mine, 2 dev laptops on 2 differnt hero's ... didnt work, with adb, sdk everything loaded for android dev ...

desktop worked fine for both hero's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanshepherd:
Same Issue

The trick to get the RUU to actually update the phone, for me, was to make sure that in Device Manager the ADB Interface driver was showing "My HTC" and not "HTC Bootloader". I was able to switch between drivers using the update driver button, and didn't need to download any new files or specify a folder or anything.

use windows xp and try my method of downgrade from 2.1 in my sig.

I realize this is a very late post, but just as the OP, I'm looking for an automatic scene changer app.

I'm looking for this mainly because none of the auto-wallpaper changers allow you to crop each image. Being able to auto-change scenes would "fix" this problem.

Many thanks in advance,

[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Just got off chat with t-mo. Below is part of the transcript. Important lines are in bold.

kcaj32: I have one more question about that account

kcaj32: the new line I added is an HD2

tmo CS: I can see that you are typing. I just want to let you know I am still here.

kcaj32: a good friend of mine also has the HD2 and he told me that you guys have a new unlimited data plan for $20 a month for that phone instead of the $30 I had to sign up for. He told me that he already switched to the $20 unlimited data for smartphones plan. Can you add that to my new line instead of the $30 plan?

kcaj32: The line I'm talking about is 916-xxx-xxxx

tmo CS: I will check to see if that feature is available for your account. It may take me a few moments.

kcaj32: ok

tmo CS: That feature is available for that line. I have changed that over for you.

kcaj32: ok thats great. I just got an sms too saying that a web plan was changed.

kcaj32: So is this available for everyone? or just some selected people?

tmo CS: It is only available to long time loyal customers.

kcaj32: ok

Got the news from : http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/New-20-Preferred-Smartphone-Unlimited-Web-for-HD2/td-p/360447

I logged into my primary account (android line) and I have the @20 a month option there too.

I havea grandfathered Family plan:

700 min

Unlimited Nights & Weekend

MyFavs on all lines (works great with Google Voice)

and now $20 data on all lines :)
[HD2 General] dkb218:
This is the same plan as the $34.99 plan minus the $14.99 unlimited message option so if you had text before switching and are still using text, expect a huge bill at the end of the month.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
The $30 plan does not include messaging at all. the plan with unlimited messaging is $35 a month. I have an older plan on my android with unlimited web and 400 messages for $25. And the messaging works for me on my Google Voice account.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
Unlimited messaging? no no no....

This is the way the contract is structured for the 2yr

$30 data plan (mandatory)

$10 messaging (optional)

$59.99 for voice (cheapest one you can actually get)
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
When I signed up for the new line I was offered

$35 for unlimited messaging and data

OR

$30 for unlimited data only

But I guess it you want unlimited messaging as well, you should be able to add it to the $20 account for another $10. That is still $5 less than new customers.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
This would be good for me. Been with T-mo for ~7 years and I have the unlimited family loyalty plan (offered before the all-unlimited plans were available) with the $20 addition for unlimited texts. If I can cut my HD2 bill from $25 to $20, I'll take it.

Oh, and, has anybody noticed there's a $5 charge for some sort of device insurance? I've yet to call T-mo and ask about it, but I tried to remove it myself from my plan and I can't. Both of those would be $10 less a month, which, out of my $250~ a month bill, is kind of welcome.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Device insurance is just that. It insures you for any lost or broken device, but I think there is a deductible involved in getting a replacement.

The new insurance rate for HD2 is $7 a mo... if you have it for $5, I'd say keep it (only if you plan on using it in the future)

And $250 a month? how many lines is that? and is it unlimited talk on all lines?
[HD2 General] ddavis75007:
If I'm reading this right, the $30.00 Data Plan includes Web access and personal e-Mail (POP3 or IMAP). The $20.00 Data Plan is only Web access, no personal e-Mail. Niether plan has anything to do with text messages (SMS) or picture messages (MMS). Those are under some other add on plan. I got grandfathered with unlimited text messages for families for $9.99 and can see no reason to change it.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
I just tested the $20 plan with a POP3 account and it worked just fine. Its just a discounted plan they are offering to their old customers.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
Older customers being the key word here. I had an account with TMO for close to 5 years and now these bozos cannot even find it to allow me to SIM unlock my device...

I hate tmous more and even more every day...
[HD2 General] nonpaq:
I went to MyTmobile.com, signed in, clicked the manage my plan, shared services, Line specific services. The "preferred" web option was available on my primary smart phone line. I selected it and submitted, then got confirmation. I went back and repeated for my secondary smart phone line, then for my 1st family add-a-line dumb phone line. Total knocked off my bill... $25 a month (two smart phones @ $10 savings each, and one "phone first" @ $5 savings.)

Unlimited Text messaging is included in my family plan.

I hope any trade off for the "preferred" web plan is worth the money. Tmobile USA's normal "Unlimited" is 5Gb a month at full speed, then throttled down above that (no extra fees for being excessive users.) I hope preferred "unlimited" still is.

With the phone first plans, a semi-smart phone as an add-a-line with unlimited web comes out to just $10 extra a month ($5 for add-a-line, $5 for unlimited web). Tmobile considers two semi "internet capable" proprietary OS touchscreen phones as "phone first"... Samsung Highlight and Tmo Tap. Its a shame neither can be ROM flashed to a better OS.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
The also have the Nokia Nuron with Symbian with a $10 data plan. Unfortunately the Nuron does not have Wifi. and has a very small screen. I looked at it in costco and it seemed pretty small although it was 3.2". Was looking for my Wife.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Been with TMo for years (I think since they existed.....8-9 years), and I checked and I have that option as well. Currently I have the Unlimited Data + Texts for $35.

I'm thinking of switching to the $20 Preferred Data Plan and the $10 1000 texts for a total of $30 ($5 Savings).

Are we sure that there is no difference between the data plans?

"Preferred Smartphone Unlimited Web Only

Smartphone Unlimited Web Only"

"T-Mobile Smartphone Unlimited Web

For people who love having the Web and e-mail at their fingertips. Includes unlimited Web access and unlimited personal e-mail."

Always looking for some monthly savings :)
[HD2 General] KidTech:
nothing beats the 5.99 unlimited Tzones..
[HD2 General] gigagrunt:
Just got off the phone with a CC rep and as most here have stated it is the same as the $25 web plan just cheaper ;)

And for the Nokia Nuron....it is one of a couple of phones that get the $10 plans for what ever reason.....maybe because the download speeds are super slow :P My GF had one and the speeds on it sucked and the text messaging was pretty buggy....she ended up returning it.
[HD2 General] Stilts:
Thanks for the heads up. I can also confirm that the CC rep told me there are no differences in speeds.
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
Just switched to the $20 Preferred Unlimited Data and $5 for 300 Texts (is it me or was there a 500 texts for $5......). Saves $10 a month, hopefully I won't go over the 300 texts.....500 would be perfect.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
4 lines. the family plan is 90,unlimited

talk only on 2 lines, each additional line is 40, 20 for unlimited text on all lines. 20 unlimited web on my line and 30 unlimited blackberry web on another. plus the 5 insurance. 245.

I'm thinking of switching to the even more plus, i lose subsidy for upgrades, but it's cheaper, 140 2 lined unlimited text and web and calls, plus 30 for two more lined unlimited calls and text. 200, i do mind losing the subsidies, so maybe I'll get new phones subsidized and then switch (you're still bound by the contract, but It's less month to month)

oh and i got offered the 20 plan online, turns out i had android web and it was incompatible, so i was forced to chose the cheaper plan, no complaints, i hope it fixes the slow connection i have though (100 kbps down on 3g)
[HD2 General] gigagrunt:
Wonder if it is really for long term customers or Tmo is just hooking up us HD2 owners :)
[HD2 General] ldominguez1986:
Loyal Customers

I Called T-mobile CC last night and they switched it over for me no prob... Haven't noticed a difference in speed or anything like that
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Yes, Yes, Yes, Unlimited Messaging.

$34.99 = $20 data plan + $14.99 UnL Mes.

$49.99 Unlimited Loyalty Voice.

What you posted is the way your contract is structured but I've been a T-Mo customer over 10 years [Ominpoint, VoiceStream].
[HD2 General] jubeh:
before I had an HD2 I had a rhodium, and the insurance was also "forced" on me, so yeah, it's for all smartphones (and the nuron, for some weird reason)
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
I'd recommend you talk to CS. The unlimited text is $10, not $15.

I've been with T-mo for 8 yrs.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yes, it was $10...on the older plans (which I'm guessing you're still grandfathered on?)

When I upgraded to the EM+ plan, it was made clear to me that the $10 unlim. msg was being phased out, and I could not get it with the new plan structure.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
hmmm... I see. Thanks for pointing it out :)
[HD2 General] echardcore:
they did not offer it to me. and I used to have the 9.99 plan when i had my bb. 30/mo is hefty. im ticked because i been with them since they were called Omnipoint. thats a looooooooooooong-ass time.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
They should... I confirmed that they do have the discounted one for long time members with a CSR
[HD2 General] fatalvision2:
i got the loyalty plan. i get unlimited data and 500 txt for 24.99/month
[HD2 General] ShAdOwfOx032:
Just called up T-Mobile and got the $20 Unlimited data plan. Thank you to the OP.
[HD2 General] nandd:
Called up T-Mobile and got 3 lines lowered from $30(HD2)/$30(Nexus)/$25(G1) to $20(HD2)/$24(Nexus)/$20(G1). Thanks OP :D
[HD2 General] N1M1TZ:
Nice, thanks for the info for the $20 web plan. I called CS for tmo and at first the lady said she didn't know of that discount rate and asked me for the IMEI number. After entering the IMEI code, the pricing came up on her side. I don't know if she was pulling my leg or what. Anyways, thank you very much for this great money saving info!!!!
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Yeah I have been with TMO for over 10 years since before when they were Voicestream nd when called in they told me that I was not able to get this plan because "it was not available to my case" I asked them why and they continued to sweat talk me and tell me how valued i was as a customer. I kept asking what it was that made me not elligable for this and they wouldnt tell me... Does anybody know what I need to say to get this! I would love an extra 20 bucks to spend on the weekend!
[HD2 General] hoangiscool2:
Wow that's ridiculous! Try again with a different rep or say retention at the prompt. Tell them you read about it online and want to get the price for a 10 year customer. I did something similar and got it the first time.
[HD2 General] nonpaq:
Friday I changed to the $20 preferred web plan. I checked this morning (5/3 9AM Eastern) on T-M0bile.com and the Preferred Unlimited Plans are no longer showing up. In fact, no data plan is showing up for my phones, and a pop-up window displays informing me that a $30 smartphone plan is required for my HD2. I cant change anything on my plan unless I switch back to the $30 unlimited smartphone plan because the pop-up is blocking me.

Fearing that I might get switched back, I just closed the browser and instead checked my account via the MyAccount application built in my HD2. Fortunately, I still show the $20 unlimited plan for data there.

The T-Mobile forums are saying that customers calling TMOUSA customer service are also being told the preferred plans are still on the their account. It may be just a problem with the internet pages. Perhaps the preferred plans were not supposed to be available for all customers and they are trying to correct it. I would think they cant just switch people back who successfully got the $20 plan and recieved confirmation of the change.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
if tmo switches me back to the $30 plan, it'll be regarded as breach of contract as the data plan is now part of the contract. so if tmo raises the price for me I'll be out of the 2 year contract.
[HD2 General] TrekkerJmm:
WOW it worked for me :) I just got it switched for $20...I LOVE this forum...Tj
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
Can i get the $20 data plan if i'm a new customer?
[HD2 General] alexsemi:
less then month with them

Went to my features, saw $20 data plan, switched the same second, now when I go there few days later, it tells me that I need to check $30 back :) NO WAY! :)
[HD2 General] fflakes:
Anyone using the "$10.00 unlimited web for phones" plan for smartphone successfully on HD2?
[HD2 General] mingkee:
I did it awhile ago and it worked on 3rd line. It's nothing on first and second lines because they're on EM+ 3 in 1 plan.

I can't add $5 preferred web2go because the system detected N900 is using it.
[HD2 General] TrekkerJmm:
Well its been a few days now and after switching my unlimited access I still have unlimited access and emails and all for 19.99...Tj
[HD2 General] Mobile Nut:
Unlimited DATA PLAN

I have been with T-Mobile for more than 10 years and just called about this data plan; the CSR said this was only available for regular phones (???) - not sure how one gets a data plan for a regular phone; I have an HD2 and she said the only plan available was the one I had ($24.99 grandfathered plan) or the $30 regular data plan.
[HD2 General] han-shinbi:
aloha everyone, i just added the prefered $20 for android on one line this saturday and i've always had my bb$19.99. so after adding the $20 plan, i go online and to check my usage. i dont see my data plans listed!! i called tmo they said i do have data (it is working) and when i asked to confirm the price, the rep told me $30!!! i have no way of verifying this due to them giving me a month free for the $20 plan so, how do i know for sure it was added at $20 like the retentions rep said? i called tmo regular cus care today btw.
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
I'm using flex pay with no contract and I pay $68.19 for 1 month of service. My package included 500 daytime minutes, unlimited nighttime minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data. It was 29.99 for the cheapest 500 minute plan, then $30 extra for unlimited text and data.
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Tmobile CS just told me that this plan is no longer available.
[HD2 General] bizmark03:
even i was told the same thing, I guess I will try the same through customer loyalty.
[HD2 General] KharmaKills:
As far as I know, TMO doesn't force you to get insurance on one phone or another. As a matter of fact, you can drop the insurance at any time. You just can't add it back at any time. It all depends on the CSR that rang you up for the phone. Some will try to put it on by default, some will ask, and some will forget.
[HD2 General] zark0000:
Insurance - drop it asap

I read all the terms and conditions for the handset insurance, which is through a 3rd party - Asurion - you should drop it as soon as possible.

There is a large deductible, it doesn't cover what you'd assume it would like a cracked screen (at least it sounded like if the screen was cracked because I dropped it (duh) it's not covered - but if it spontaneously cracked without you touching it - covered.), and it's so filled with disclaimers and explanations of when they DON'T cover the phone that you'd be hard pressed to get them to pay a claim.

Plus, Asurion has a generally bad rep.

I called T-Mo, told them I never asked for it, they apologized, removed it from my account and retroactively credited me for one month of it ($5-something on 2 phones). That was month 2 of owning the HD2 - not sure what they'd "give" you if you're several months in.

Rep asked why I didn't want it any longer, I told her I didn't even know what it was or why it was on my account.

They were extremely nice, of course, and took care of it immediately without a hassle.

Should mention, I did try to cancel through Asurion per some instruction somewhere on T-Mo's site - after a bunch of phone menus you end up being prompted to call T-Mobile CC anyway.
[HD2 General] xal33x:
I appoligize for this 3 month bump but I found this thread through google and it was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I Am very thankful to the creator of this thread for spreading the word.

I also want to let you guys that I called customer loyalty (Customer sine 2003) and got the Peferred Android Unlimited Web applied for 20 dollars along with a 10 dollar unlimited domestic Messages with absolutely NO problems ... The rep at first did not want to give me that 10 dollar unlimited messages until I informed her that it was my price when I got bumped to 30 dollar Andriod Internet (the recent outrages change they made which is also the reason why I began researching this)

Once again thank you very much and I hope my post helps others in the future!
[HD2 General] xnifex:
Wait so new HD2s had to have a $30 data plan? I remember back when I got my MDA it was $30 for data & hotspots & everyone used the BB data plan at $20. One day Tmo decided to drop the hotspots & go to $20 & everyone switched over. Now they've switched it back to $30? wow i'm glad i'm at that $20 spot.
[HD2 General] xal33x:
Well actually the android plan became 30 dollars now. So for any android phone its 30.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
I think it really depends on what T-Mobile store you goto. I personally have an older SunCom $15 unlimited data plan from about 4 years ago, and have never been asked or made to upgrade my plan to the more expensive ones. I also have another line that I just added data to, that uses a Vibrant, and costs me $20 a month. I really think it just comes down to which store you goto and who you talk to.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
you do not HAVE to have a data plan but if you want to use Internet on the phone while away from a free wireless connection, it will cost you $30. I was quoted $30 and that included unlimited web and text messaging and the ability to tether with the HD2 as far as I know the HD2 is the only tmobile phone that you are officially allowed to tether with......

beware though some aps on the phone require a 3G connection to work...
[HD2 General] matthend:
Just hung up with Tmo retention dept.... Have two HD2s on my family plan. Got both reduced from 30 to 20 and got the third line fee waived also for a savings of $30 per month!:D:D
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Im pretty sure you were only forced into the $30 data plan if you renewed your contract for a discount on the phone. I bought mine outright and am still on the $20 "VPN Access" plan with 100 included MMS messages that i have been on for atleast 3 years now. The VPN Access plan gives you a real ip address, rather than the NAT routed IP address that all the other data plans have :D
[HD2 General] Jeimygirl:
If I were you, I'd double check that they did not extend your contract. I read that a lot of people that switched to the $20 plan were upgraded to a new 2 yr contract for all phones, without that nice phone discount to go with it.
