I'd recommend using a NON-Recovery Disk, but rather a Clean, Non-OEM, Windows Disk. If the issue pertains to the Kernal, it's usually unfixable without a Hard Boot of the Drive. You should do more than Re-Format.. you should delete all the partitions off of your Hard Drive with a Windows Disk, then pop in the Recovery Disks and do the OEM install.
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
So I need to wipe the hard drive clean again and put in another non OEM OS?
[Off-topic] Agent Zach:
Not quite. Wipe the HDD clean with the NON-OEM Windows Disk, as most Recovery Disks do not allow you to alter the Partitions [Everything is done for you], then pop in your Recovery Disk and let it install the new Primary, and possibly the Recovery, Drives.

[Off-topic] Agent Zach:
When your supposed "Tech Savvy" friend attempted to fix your computer.. he, I'm assuming, did a simple "Repair" of the partition with an XP Disc. That is LITERALLY the most unwanted version of a fix ever... All it does is replace the system files, but keeps all of the other software that may have been conflicting with the system itself, BUT usually, all of the software is inaccessible. It's still on your computer, f*cking it up, but you can't see it.

Thus I always say, "If you get a bluescreen... more than once, and don't know what the code means... don't repair your computer.. re-format that b*tch after recreating the partitions."

But, if your XP compy has the specs to support Windows 7, your best bet, all in all, would be to install Windows 7. Doing so will save you the hassle of having to manually download all of the drivers for it... unlike installing a non OEM Windows XP [have to download & install the drivers manually].
[Off-topic] Simon_WM:
PurpleLlamaLover

it sounds like the HP recovery disk could well be corrupt,

So you now have 3 options:

1. Try Linux Ubunut 10.4 LTS (Free Distro)

2. Buy a ligit copy of Windows 7

3. Download Windows Vista / 7 / XP from a torrent

and try untill you find a OS you lyk
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
I'll try and get 7 for it. It was the last of the XP models, just before vista so i'd think it should be able to run 7. Think I need a new hard drive?

[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
I just want it back up and running, I don't want vista though. On the little windows sticker is says "Vista Capable" but i've heard bad things about it, especially rom updating.
[Off-topic] djteotancolis:
ummm i use vista and have updated all my win mo phones on it...never had a problem
[Off-topic] Purple Drama Llama:
Really? Well, i'll keep in mind if I can't get XP back on it. I'd rather just have 7 and XP. I don't care what it runs as long as it runs again.
[Off-topic] Tweenerdot:
the best suggestion in this thread was install linux :D, however i take it that isn't a possibility. so here's what you need to do, you will require the following:

1) a fresh mind

2) a freshly burned copy of XPwhateverflavoryouwant

3) you do not care about anything on that drive.

put in freshly burned xp into computer, boot to cd drive, follow onscreen instructions, delete all partitions, create new NTFS partition, install to new partition.

if error comes back, it is not a software issue. fixing a xp bsod really is simple if it isnt hardware related.
[XPERIA X10 General] mardolf:
Hi Guys,

I just bought an X10 yesterday. I noticed that the lower area (portrait mode) of the LCD looks like a bit dim/burned if the background is white. I noticed this when I opened facebook and looks like there are shades of light yellow where it looks like a shadow from the backlight not properly diffused. I'm going to take a picture later and paste it here. This is an expensive phone and I'm guessing that it should'nt show anything like this. Let me know if you also noticed something like this too.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] lifeflayer:
Try another program and if the problem persists you have a hardware defect.

-------------------------------------

Sent from my X10a
[XPERIA X10 General] mardolf:
Yup. Tried it out, Pretty sure that it is not the app itself. Problem is pretty static even on landscape mode.

Thanks, I'm going to the shop later to return it.

OT: I think X10 is a bit overpriced :D - maybe not used to plastic feeling, I was pampered by my HD2.
[XPERIA X10 General] HyperionX10:
Same here

I have the same problem, but didn't give it too much attention.

I am curious if the shop will change it for you. Let us know please.
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
Me too. Doesn't bother me though.
[XPERIA X10 General] mardolf:
Well, I went back to the shop. They showed me the working display item. It also showed the problem. I told them that maybe the backlight was burned out and asked them to open a new set for 1:1 exchange. Same thing, problem is still there... They changed it anyway. I'm entitled for 1x 1:1 exchange for 60 days and used it by just opening box. Still asked them to replace it my 1 day old set with the newly opened X10 just to make my wife happy =). Well, still sigh.... Expensive phone with a poor backlight. I don't have it on my HD2. If you do browsing and you're aware of the problem, sometimes it just pisses you off. But not the end of the world.

OT: I'm starting to enjoy android now =) Fast and fluid... stock UI sucks for X10 but definitely can be changed and will definitely rock if rooted. I also thought that the camera button was spoilt, but was surprised that you can do a "half press" to do a focus like a normal camera. Brilliant!
[XPERIA X10 General] lifeflayer:
what a surprise... maybe the batch the store got all have some defects. i have zero problems with my lcd and everything looks beautiful and sharp with great contrast.
[XPERIA X10 General] mardolf:
I really don't know. 1 batch and all defected, possible. I actually mentioned it to them but they told me that since they released the product here in Singapore, it is the same batch. And I'm the only one who noticed it...
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Are you talking about the 'wavy' pattern on the bottom of the screen? It's as if the screen wasn't laid flat and the shades of the wave shows on the white screen?

Not sure if that made any sense but it's on my device and same as my friends.
[XPERIA X10 General] mardolf:
Yes, I'm referring to that one. I just checked my HD2, and it is also there but not that obvious, unlike the X10.

"Lights at the bottom are poorly diffused". And you can see the shadow of the 6 LED lights SE used. When I saw this patterns, I remembered the old LED to lit the LCDs on old Nokia monochrome phones =), and you can change that to any color just to be hip when I was still a teenager.

Well, I still like the phone. =)
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
Had to open a plain white google home screen with opera just to find this, yes its where the leds are spaced and what ^^ said about diffusion. Very unnoticable unless you look for it.

I'd recommend not looking for it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] mhnajjar:
It is on every single X10 unit and it is nothing that should bother anyone since it is only visible in very light plain backgrounds.

I noticed it since day one but I was surprised that it does not show in dark backgrounds. It is unlike the color bleeding that would happen on some LCDs. Therefore, it is ok and nothing to bother about :D

[HD2 General] GTI WR6:
Hello All,

I have another question/problem.

How do I get WMDC from erasing all the contacts and calendar items in my HD2? My HD2 does not have any partnership with the WMDC. I only need to open my WMDC when I will be updating Radio, for example. Even when I choose a partnership which does not sync anything, my contacts are still erased.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you already have a partnership, delete it, then when you connect the phone, there are only two options in wmdc, "set up" or "connect without setting up" (or words to that effect, i'm not at a pc) choose the second option and it will connect but not sync.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hanjamin300:
I need to know how to make the zoom bar work with opera 10.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drtolson:
I seem to remember a couple of cabs are around for that. I would suggest searching in your device's forum to make sure you get the appropriate one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] huggs:
Pretty sure youre not gonna get your zoom bar working in 10, but there is a cab that will add more functionality to your zoom bar, called zoombarplus. it wont give you zoom capability in opera 10, but its worth having nonetheless. but with 10's 2 level zoom, the zoom bar just wont work to zoom like 9.7. but zoombarplus will let you scroll up n down pages in operya, but not nearly fast enough to be functional (but you can change the scroll speed in your registry, but its a little bit of work). My suggestion, get opera 9.7, its faster and has zoom bar functionality built in. and get zoombarplus too, it really is nice to have
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hanjamin300:
Is there any version of opera that supports the zoom bar?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
9.7 but you have to install a cab. This is the one I use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rodbac:
I have 9.7 and have not installed that cab, but I'm not seeing any problem with the zoom bar yet.

What problem does that cab solve for Opera 9.7?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
Nothing that I am aware of either. Opera 9.7 and zoombar should work by default.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
That's right, the zoombar should work on 9.7 natively. But there was a minor glitch where some people have to edit the registry to state the correct .exe (just change it from Opera to opera, or vice versa, I don't remember). So if it already works, you have nothing to worry about.

9.7 and 10 can co-exist on the same phone (unless this has changed now that 10 is out of beta?), so you can install both and see which one you prefer. Personally, I find the scalable zoom on 9.7 is much more useful than only having the 2 levels of zoom on Opera 10.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rodbac:
Same here. By far.

It's a shame, too, because I liked 10 much better otherwise. No zoom (except for one "make it OMG big" setting) was a deal-killer, though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phenomenon:
CoPilot seems to have come up to try and be the only GPS program that works with the HD2 completely. By that I mean that the HD2 comes with NaviPanel and whenever you might click on HOME or a Footprint from the Navipanel it will both open CoPilot and automatically route you home.

Personally, I can't say I like CoPilot. On two occasions already it directed me to the wrong places because of OUTDATED MAPS!!!! A complaint which I've read on A LOT of sites that I'm starting to understand.

So I'm looking to see if anyone here has cracked the system for NaviPanel to be using other GPS program. I KNOW ABOUT THE REGISTRY HACKS TO MAKE IT OPEN A GPS PROGRAM. I KNOW ABOUT THAT TRICK. What I'm looking for is possible full compatibility. Where if I have TomTom and then click on the Home icon on NaviPanel it'll both open TomTom and automatically start routing me home.

Any new news regarding this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phenomenon:
Bump..........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] amb9800:
IIRC, the NavPanel is hardcoded with the Copilot file name, so I don't think any other solution would be fully compatible unmodified.

I am waiting mostly on Cookies next mode and Max Sense has me waiting for that most of all
[HD2 General] bobbeleeswagger:
See i bearly know how to download this stuff. I just saw the evo rom oon youtube but But what do you think is the best rom for my htc hd2?
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Well the best rom is a personal choice really, It really depends on what you like in your roms and what you dont. The best advise I can give you on that is to look at a few and then nerrow it down to the 2 you like the look of the most and then flash the first and run it for a few days, then flash the other one and run that and see what you like the best. Roms are like addiction really once you flash your first couple you will be waiting on the next update to see what your fav chef has cooked up. Just be careful when you flash a rom and make sure it says it works for the US T-Mobile or you are not gonna be very happy at all:D

I just went to a torrent site and found the movies and downloaded them to the phone alond with other movies>
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Keep in mind that discussion of gray area legal ways of obtaining the movies isnt allowed on here. With that said I personally see no legal issue with obtaining the movies via torrent if you've purchased an HD2 and the movie files you are obtaining are bit for bit the exact same files that came on the SD card.

Have fun explaining that to the judge if you get busted torrenting them though

You aught to be able to goto a tmobile store and see if they can copy the stock contents from an HD2 card there in the store, or just do an even trade blank card for stock card, if you have your HD2 there with you as proof you've purchased one.

It would have been wise of HTC/TMO to have included a mini DVD in the box with the stock SD card contents. I believe the stock contents would have fit on a dual layer mini-dvd and a mini dvd would have fit in the box. at bulk production rates the mini-dvds would have probably been like 10-20 cents each

Hello guys,

thanks in advance, about for days ago I flashed HD2 Cell Evo Rom( sorry no link but Im new)

on to my phone and decided to go back to Kumars Rom the problem is that the phone now has a pre-Splash screen that I cant get rid of..

I have tried to flash an other rom, Returning it to factory settings by slp to original radio and tmous rom, then hspl and back to Kumars, yet the thing is still there!!

can you guys Help me figure out how to get rid of it?! I just want the nice splash screen that comes with the Rom I decide to download not one that keeps randomly showing back up!

thanks!!

BTW I attached a picture of what it looks like( and then it does go into the normal splash screen)

Since i Cant post a link if you go to photobucket and put in the last part of my post the pic should show up..

/albums/af7/joyfullymarried/Cellphone%20Pics/IMAG0432(jpg)as in for .
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the very first part of the splash is a mini rom that you flash just like a rom or radio. the second and third parts are part of the rom. Official roms usually include a splash screen, but most cooked ones don't, meaning if you flash a rom with one, then one without, the first one will still show.

follow this thread through to see the different parts of the splash process

I bought my x10 from a local shop, it was the only one in stock and the box was not sealed.

I think that they played with it a bit too much...

When I typed in the NCK for the first time I had this answer:

Requesting network unlock...

SIM Card locked. Contact your network operator.

In the service menu under SIM lock I got :

[x] Network 0

[] Network subset 10

[] Service provider 10

[] Corporate 10

[] SIM 0

Does the x and 0 in Network mean too much attempt to enter NCK?

Will we be able to reset NCK counter and/or unlock NCK with root access?

[XPERIA X10 General] wildcolor:
I think that's because you put in a sim card which is not the phone lock for. If you put the right sim card, the phone would be working.

e.g. if the phone is locked to Orange, you should put an orange sim card. then you wouldn't see those [x] and 0 stuff. Try it. I am just guessing here
[XPERIA X10 General] MobileTux:
The phone is network locked to Rogers. With Rogers, T-Mobile, Fido, Bell SIM or even without a SIM the same information is displayed in the SIM lock menu:

[x] Network 0

[] Network subset 10

[] Service provider 10

[] Corporate 10

[] SIM 0

I went to an other store where they have a working demo and that's what I saw in the SIM lock menu :

[] Network 5

[] Network subset 5

[] Service provider 5

[] Corporate 5

[] SIM 0

[XPERIA X10 General] clemi275:
Hi,

I bought a SIM locked X10 3 weeks ago and after getting a wrong unlock code and using it for 5 times the phone was totally locked

Today I got it back from the operator and now it's unlocked and I think I'm able to tell you the differences:

before:

[x] Network 0

[ ] Network subset 5

[ ] Service provider 5

[ ] Corporate 5

[ ] SIM 0

afterwards (the same you mentioned in your last post):

[ ] Network 5

[ ] Network subset 5

[ ] Service provider 5

[ ] Corporate 5

[ ] SIM 0

So you're right, someone seems to have entered the wrong unlock code too often. I agree with visitador02, you should bring it back to the store!

Good luck!
[XPERIA X10 General] MobileTux:
I went to the store yesterday night and they changed my x10a for a brand new one in a sealed box.

The information in the SIM lock menu was :

[] Service provider 10

[] Corporate 10

[] SIM 0

I received the new unlock code about an hour after I ordered it.

After writing the unlock code for the new IMEI I had this message on the first try :

Network unlock successful.

Yay! And the SIM lock menu now is :

[] Network 10

[] Network subset 10

[] Service provider 10

[] Corporate 10

[] SIM 0

Thanks to every body who helped me in my unlocking quest and especially to my unlocking code provider for his great services and the two nice girls at the store who gladly changed my phone for a new one!

For those who wonder how to get in the SIM lock menu :

In the key lock screen, press : menu - back - back - menu - back - menu - menu - back. Then go in Service info and SIM lock.

I hope this informations will help other peoples who have problem unlocking their x10.

[XPERIA X10 General] ferraripassion:
There is no way to reset the counter with root access at the moment.

These phones can be unlocked only with the USB cable provided with the phone.

[X] - Means it is locked and the numbers represent the number of attempts left.

For example if it is

[X] - Network 10 , means network is locked and you have 10 attempts left.
