i've already talked to the guys or girls from HTC customer support but they said that the SN and IMEI of the device do not register in their database as an HTC device so they cannot help me.

regarding the hard reset i've tried it many times but no succes.

the solution as i see it so far would be a designated ROM for that tipe of device (pre-sale unit) or some tool to change the SPL of the device.
[HD2 General] ClydeB1:
Have you tried the hard reset to see if you can get back to the original rom so that you have some functionality and not just a paperweight?
[HD2 General] criminu:
yes i did but nothing happend
[HD2 General] ClydeB1:
Sorry to check up, but you won't be the first to have gotten it wrong - you do know the difference between a HARD reset and a SOFT reset?

Hard reset = power off, hold in both UP and Down volume buttons and while holding them in power up the device. Then press volume up and volume up again.
[HD2 General] criminu:
that's what i did :)
[HD2 General] criminu:
I've heard that there some apps out there that can modify the SPL version. Does anyone have any idea where I can find such an app ?

Dear XDA-Devs,

I went through the rooting tut @ theunlockr (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/). Everything went very nice until I came to step 24. Here it says to flash the device with the 32A firmware. However I have a German Vodafone Magic (32B) device and now I am stuck in what to do next.

Can I just continue using the 32A image?

Do I have to use a special 32B image? And if yes, can you give me a link? Will it work with all the steps I have done so far?

Thanks in advance,

deradam

No help yet, I will explain more...

I can boot to HBOOT and see the following information.

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP10000)

CLPD-10

RADIO-3,22.20.17

Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

So from this I see that I have the "engineering SPL" 1.33.2005 on PVT 32B!

The strange thing is, that if I fastboot boot a recovery image, it only works with H builds (recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img, recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img) but NOT with the G builds (recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img). As far as I understood, it should be the other way around?!?

I really need HELP! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
If H recovery works, use it lol. I have the US fender magic which should use H but will only use G recovery... So if it works, dont worry about the letter lol.

You are right where you should be at this point. Boot into recovery, put whatever rom you want on your sd card using the recoveries usb, then wipe everything, flash your rom (knowing that its the right one for your phone) then make sure you FLASH, not just fastboot boot the recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
THe H version is not for you to use. You Use the G Version, reflash again the ENG SPL and then the recovery.

REad here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
3.22.xx.xx - H recovery

2.22.xx.xx - G recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deradam:
I did flash the sappimg.zip after installing the update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2005-signed.zip. So what about 2.22.xx.xx - G recovery or 3.22.xx.xx - H recovery?? After that I did only boot the recovery image, I did not flash anything. However only H boots on my device not the G version.

So what should I reflash again or do now? My final goal is to have Cyanogen Eclair on the Magic :)

Thanks for help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deradam:
Okay, after more reading I found out that one should just follow the full tutorial and the android will end at a "32A" level. To make it a 32B again, you have to do some aditional steps. They are described here:

I saw something in my logcat about "Flurry Agent" sending out data to its server. It looks like it collects analytics about certain apps and uploads it.

Does anyone know how to remove/disable this?

A hosts file addition is one way.

Some google search results:

Flurry-Legal

flurry-legal-dcma

Comes with Locale. (I don't have locale installed anymore, yet Flurry was running)

A search on my phone turned up nothing. It may be a library inside an apk.

find / -name "*lurry*"

Omg man i just noticed the same thing and was about to post!! I have no idea what app it is though because I don't have locale installed
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
It could be inside any app you have. Flurry is a company that collect statistics on app usage afaik and developers add the library to their apps. Don't know how widespread it is for developers to do this though.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] silthos:
use stock lol just change the arrow images on the drawer to the nexus square and itll be fine and run fast. i experienced slowness when using helix or launcher2 its that it bloats the system and uses far too much memory with the wrap aroound effect emulating what the nexus does. when really to save speed the square icon will suffice :P by that i mean changing the app draw icon to the nexus one with .png that it really.

Hi guys,

I've upgraded to myhero 2.0.5 rom (sense UI) ... so far very happy with it but I have a "problem"

This ROM comes with widget-icon-thingy for mail and sms (unread count) which I want to replace with my own (normal) icon for aesthetic reasons

When I create a shortcut via bettercut it changes my own icon again automatically to the widget.

I've tried to use the "create your own" option in bettercut with following settings but it doesn't work

Action: android.intent.action.VIEW

Data: content://sms/inbox

I'm a complete newbie at this so please bear with me on this :o

Do I have the wrong action/data entries or is this not possible to do with this ROM?

[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
i cannot believe that there isn't even 1 single 1500 capacity Battery... or even bigger that would be able to retain the original back cover.... so am i just going to have to wait until june until the HTC EVO comes out? cause isn't that being shipped with a larger battery capacity then our own?? if so, i imagine that we'd be able to use it as well right?? that phone is practically a replica of ours.. or am i mistaken??

and even if i am.. the fact that they can make a bigger battery for the EVO and not HD2 is mind blowing...
[HD2 Accessories] Halle:
I believe I have read that the evo is actually bigger than our HD2's. In fact, it's taller.
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I doubt the evo battery will work in the hd2. There is this misconception going around that the evo is basicly a hd2 with android... Its not. It's a completely different phone. Yeah, it has a similar processor, same screen size, etc. But there are a lot of phones that use similar hardware. It even looks similar. But there is a lot of different hardware. And it's a completely different model. People just have it in there head, for some reason, that the EVO and the HD2 are the same phone hardware-wise. Yes, there are similarities, but they are not interchangeable.... not with hardware OR software.
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
ahhh well thats disappointing... but i mean if the evo has a bigger capacity yet it still retains its small size making the evo nice and slim like the hd2.. then what's preventing us from having the same sized battery??

its all really frustrating.. because battery life is an issue with this phone....and even a 1500 would increase my life by a couple hours.. which is more then enough...
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
If it's got a a bigger capacity battery, the actual physical size will probably be bigger, too. If the evo is the same size as the HD2, they must have found some other way to make more space for a bigger battery. I bet mugen could maybe make a 1500mah battery that fit the hd2 if they tried... they've always been good at fitting bigger batteries in the same size of space. We just have to convince them it would be worth it.
[HD2 Accessories] ProjektFuze:
lol sucks...i don't understand how someone would make a 1300 capacity battery and not a 1500 or 1600 one... but whatever... i'm done ranting...

but yea.. if the evo has a slim battery like ours with a 1500 capacity.. i'm hoping that some businesses will jump on the opportunity to make some cash..

IMO it looks quite a bit longer than our beloved HD2's. Hence the ability to cram more juice in.

i used my hd2 all day including push exchange and over an hour of video and i could not make it run dead until midnight from leaving charge at 9am. is there really such a need for extended battery? i mean the iphone performs more dismally than this in bettery life and i reckon it's pretty dam good for stock battery and a smartphone with such high specs.

Hi to all,

i've a big problem with my Touch HD.

about 1 month ago batteries of my phone starting to degrade (i've 2 battery : the original 1 of 1,350mh and a second bought from ebay of 1,500mh).

At the beginning, even after a full night of charging, the battery charge was at max 70%, with the phone lasting no more than a couple of hours with low usage.

Suddenly the thing get worts and even after 1 or 2 full days of charge the battery gain max 5% of charge, with phone lasting 10/15 minutes! :(

I'd think about some battery problem (strange to both at the same time, but who knows?) and I've bought another original battery.

Well, THE SAME EXACTLY PROBLEM, with the battery not charging more that 5%, even after 3 days!

The salesman where i've bought the phone (an electronic superstore) said me that probably it's a Phone Software failure... It really could be? and what can i do to fix it?

Obviously, I've also the problem that at the moment a not-original bootloader + rom is on the phone, so probably HTC will say to me that warranty is now broken... Any possibilities to reload the original fullpack in any way without the battery?! :(

thx
[Touch HD General] :
You can try charging your battery with a universal Li-ion battery charger and then put it back inside HD and remove the 'illegal' stuff, before sending to HTC

I have an external charger and I've tried to charge all the 3 battery..

After few mins charger led turn from red to green... so I've checked the battery with a tester and i've found che all the batteries are fully charged...

So the phone could be totally f***ed up?!
[Touch HD General] alareth1976:
is there someone that could have any idea on how much it will cost to change the motherboard (i've read somewhere in internet that it could be my problem) out of warranty?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wlukeh:
Hello everyone, I've searched all over for an answer to this one with no joy.

I've had my stock Orange locked Diamond for almost two years now, and towards the end of a family break I dropped it.

Now it won't switch on beyond an initial buzz, and none of the mini USB chargers or pc cables will persuade it to charge.

The problem is that I used it to take all the photos during the family break, and now can't access them.

Now I read the reply about "jump" charging the battery and will be giving that a go, but can the memory chip be accessed independantly to offload the contents?

I should add that for quite a while before, the phone picked up and dropped the usb connection when connected with a frequency of about 3 - 5 seconds, which was very annoying.

Many thanks in advance

Luke
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wlukeh:
Little update

Hello all, thank you for reading about my plight.

Well I managed to charge the battery, and I think the phone switches on, as the volume controls make the appropriate sounds. However the screen is black, and even under heavy sun I can't see anything, so it's not just the backlighting that's gone.

The pc doesn't notice it when I connect, so I can't get in that way, unless someone can point me to how to chop up a cable and hardwire a data connection "upstream" of the mini-USB socket? (I'm hoping it's just the connector which is dead)

Otherwise, is there a combination of hardware buttons that will switch on bluetooth? I dropped it when it was in airplane mode. I had BT explorer checked, so if I can get BT on, I should be able to browse the phone with the pc? Please confirm.

Looking forward to reading your suggestions

Cheers

Luke

Hi, thanks for the tip, I guess I have nothing to lose.

I saw that thread, but as one of the symptoms involved actually being able to read something on the screen, I didn't pay that much attention.

News soon.

Cheers

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
ok let me know.. best of luck :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wlukeh:
OMG it worked!

Hi, fantastic tutorial.

It took me several attempts to realise that when you say "chip" you mean circuit board.

Pressing and pressing gave no joy, but further investigation showed that I could slip the screwdriver underneath the loose connector and engage it from there.

Yes bad design on HTC's part, there should be some sort of physical lock, or at least a block underneath that pushes the connector into its socket.

However nice the phone was, the WM6 bugs & glitches were annoying, the USB connection still doing that really annoying thing of connecting and disconnecting every few seconds, so it's going to be hard to retrieve the photos; GRRR!

Does anyone know of a program that can block send files from the phone, either over wifi or bluetooth??

Anyway, many many thanks Siddharthsai, at least it's up and running. I doubt I'll be using it much now, despite that superb screen, my insurance replaced it with a Desire, and I have to say I'm impressed with my new toy :-)

Oh yes, where's the command for auto screen lock? It's annoying me.

Many thanks again

Luke
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wlukeh:
Getting there

OK so thanks to Diamond tweak I was able to stop the screen locking every 5 seconds.

The USB problem is mechanical; I forced the phone down onto its mini USB plug really hard and it stayed connected. Thanks to SuperCopier 2 I was able to dump the contents before my hand got cramp :-)

Yippee.

So I've got TomTom on the diamond, but no on-board nav on the Desire. My diamond might just end up relegated to being the permanent in car nav unit.

Anyone got a fix for the dodgy USB problem? I've tried all 3 of my mini-usb cables, but they do all happen to be HTC oem.

I guess that's why the micro USB has been adopted.

Thanks

When i turn my phone on it doesn't go to the splash screen, it instead goes to the hardSPL screen, and will then reinstall my rom if i let it. Even after i do that it still goes to the hardSPL. The only thing that made it boot normally was removing the battery leaving it for a while but then when i restarted it went back into loading hardSPL.

Any ideas for what i could do to fix this?

I dont know what Rom i am running, its currently not booting.. but i am running hardSPL 3.29

I am reinstalling the rom using the microSD card.

If you can help at all, much appriciated!!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
When you are in bootloader, try to install the stock rom not with the sd card method. I think your problem relies in flashing through your card and everytime you boot..it takes you to hardslp.

Nope..

The RUU doesnt recognise there is any image on the phone, even just after installing its stock one.

Can i update HardSPL somehow?

Oh, and even when my SD card is removed, it still goes to hardSPL. If that changes anything...
