[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugler:
Thanks for that, if I can't figure it out, I guess I'll try the warranty. I'm still going to work on it though, I can't imagine that someone hasn't had an unresponsive bootloader before though, and know how to fix it.

I've always done things the retard way, but I've spent the last week learning ALOT. I've got adb and fastboot setup, is there a way to flash the nbh file via fastboot or adb, bypassing the bootloader?

And FYI for others, with the nonworking touchscreen you can't "press the droid" after a factory reset. SDK, and androidscreencast fixed that, you can see your screen on your computer and use your mouse to click!

http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/

I also just got droid explorer, which lets you do lots of things with a GUI, including invoke androidscreencast, man that would've been easier a week ago! At least now I am able to use the phone as I had to disable the wipe unlock, and touch the droid to recover from a wipe!

I imagine this would be perfect for people with broken screens as well!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
the .NBH includes EVERYTHING but an SPL... it rewrites Radio, splash1 system and usrdata...... if you cant press the action button, first try re-flashing the SPL, then try cleaning out your trackball

the action button is the trackball BTW...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugler:
Thanks for those tips. But I've done that and it still doesn't work. Even tried downloading the spl from a variety of sources, and doing a checksum to make sure it's not corrupted. And the trackball works in every other application. Basically, the stock bootloader just won't respond to any command (action to cancel, power to update, 3 buttons to reboot, nothing). It DOES recognize the .nbh, which is a step further than most bootloader fail threads I see.

Is it possible to flash an nbh file using fastboot or adb? I've figured out how to do update.zips this way, but not .nbh. I'd still have a custom bootloader, but everything else would be stock.

Thanks again everyone!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugler:
So if anybody can help, maybe this bit is useful too, I get no response from the hard spl either. Example, it is my understanding that the standard hard spl screen (with no .nbh file on card it dislplays phone radio info at top, serial0/10, 3 android skaters at bottom) that screen I should be able to press call+power+menu to reboot, right? I get nothing, and thought I should. This spl won't flash the nbh either, I guess because it won't register the "press power to contine".

1. Any ideas? My keys work when in standard usage and in recovery, why won't they work in any of the spls?

2. still wondering if/how I can fastboot the dreaimg.nbh file?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
Make it unbootable (don't brick it - just wipe your current ROM and recovery partition) and restore to stock G1 SPL and if they say anything about "It won't boot" blame it on shipping. :P

Have you tried updating with a engineering SPL? I don't know if that would have any difference. Also, is your sdcard still partitioned? I think it has to be all fat32 or a goldcard (no idea where a goldcard actually come in on G1).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugler:
Brilliant! I bet it is the partitioning! I now remember that I thought about that for a minute, but tried other things. I'll try a fresh, all fat32 partitioning and give that a shot. Otherwise, good call on just deleting the partitions.

(actually excited to have something hopeful to try for a change!)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugler:
Solved!

Cheers to you R3s!

If anybody else finds themselves with an unresponsive bootloader, make sure your sdcard is not partitioned.

For the step by step folks who may be wanted to return a G1 to stock, in my case for a warranty return because the touchscreen doesn't work:

put the stock 1 G card in a card reader, popped it in the usb drive of a winxp system, my computer, right click on drive, format (not quick) fat32.

copied over stock spl renamed as update.zip

copied over DREAIMG.nbh

unmount sd card

pop into g1

home+power to get into recovery

apply update.zip

reboot

wipe

reboot + hold camera button

power button to apply

wait, this time I got the status bar immediately

action button to restart when prompted

reboots to spl

3 finger salute to reboot (call+end+menu)

BAM, back to the android to press the button to start

(and fully stuck there now since I don't have a touchscreen, my daughter called me crazy for being so happy, she asked if I fixed it and I said no I broke it!)

So there ya go, anybody else has this problem, reformatting the sdcard isn't enough, you have to remove the partitions.

my htc hd2 give start upp error HTC HD2 MicroP Error. in bootloder also disply it . now phone start without backlight display.
[HD2 General] Moustafa217:
----Try---- to reset facotry setting (clear storage).. and since u dont have display light.. so try tothe buttons.

If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.

Performing a factory reset using phone buttons

With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.

When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

[Skin][UPDATED][24.MAY.2010] GTX Sense Like Windows Media Player theme v1.1

This is my first thread & skin and I'm proud of giving this to the XDA community.

Supported Resolutions: VGA, WVGA :D & soon QVGA support ;)

FEATURES:

Portrait & Landscape.

Uninstallable. (Search for Gore_Darkside WMP GTX Skin in Remove programs)

Mostly based on PNG images.

HOW-TO INSTALL:

Copy the cab file attachment on you device/storage card/internal memory.

Run/Install the skin cab. NOTE: If you have already installed version 1.0 please uninstall & soft reset first

PLEASE restart

if asked

Open WMP and enjoy ;)

CHANGELOG:

1.1:

BUG: Fixed minor position bug in Pause/Stop images.

NEW: Added stars rating image -GTX style- (see picture attachments).

OTHER: Renamed internal files.

1.0:

Initial release.

This theme is based on [App/Skin] Windows Media Player 12 for Pocket PC (VGA, WVGA, QWVGA, QVGA) from our friend bogy16 but with a totally GTX look and feel based on Guide for Creating GTX Styled Skins from ElCondor and the GTX team (thanks guys!).

A big thanks to IABovine for QuickCab 2.0 Cab Creation Utility, the old an new GTX team, to bogy16 for his Windows Media Player 12 skin in many resolutions and ervius for his Package creator v2.7 (sorry if I missed somebody). Without their work this theme have been never created or even crossed my mind. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonas9398:
looks very nice!

Could you release the skin for qvga, too?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Maybe, want to be beta tester?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ultimatepichu:
what about WVGA peeps? :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Gimme some time and I will do it. These themes (qvga/wvga) will be beta, because I don't have devices with those resolutions to test them.

EDIT: Not beta anymore, found how to use the device emulator (yes, i'm new)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jebise101:
this might be the only reason for me to ever use WMP. Can you make the menus touch friendly as well like all music and stuff.
[Windows Mobile Themes] slash_5150:
+1 for wvga :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mike2nl:
Hi gore_darkside,

that looks very interesting. Will test it, for shure because i am the GTX hardliner.

My question about volume control is solved.

EDIT:

i will change the cab file, because i hate it to install

all the stuff in the main memory ;). I will publish the

things for the registry where you can see how to do that.

Install on storage card, change registry and the have fun.

Registry settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins]

"LastLandscapeSkin" = "\Storage Card\Application Data\Windows Media Player\wmp_WPC_player_640x480.skn"

"LastPortraitSkin" = "\Storage Card\Application Data\Windows Media Player\wmp_WPC_player_480x640.skn"

and for WVGA (if this is to download):

..\..\wmp_WPC_player_480x800.skn

..\..\wmp_WPC_player_800x480.skn

Then the skin will be running from the storage card. You have to change the path to your storage

card (Language dependend). Ok, you have also to create the directories on the card ;-).

Hi gore_darkside,

i can help out if you wish (wVGA device)
[Windows Mobile Themes] iceblade997:
this is awesome :D

i'd been using fRED's Manila WMP but this looks to be better integrated - thanks for making it :D

lol and i run the same rom as you :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonas9398:
yeah, I would do that ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Thanks for saying that jebise101. About the menus, they are standard menus like in others apps, and are outside the reach of every WMP theme to my knowledge, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
I would like also to put the skins in Storage, but I need more help in order to put the theme in the storage card/internal store: How can I put a language independent registry setting string that change with ROM language, device, etc., something like "LastPortraitSkin" = "\{storage}\Application Data\Windows Media Player\wmp_WPC_player_480x640.skn"?? I know there must be a way OR we can make the theme available for choose in WMP but not be set automatically.

What question about volume control you had? I can't find it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Thanks!

You are welcome my friend

Lol, nice!

[Windows Mobile Themes] mike2nl:
Hi gore_darkside, that is a very good skin for the wmp. Thanks

One point:

You see in the screenshot the background? Possible you can add 1% or 2% blur or gussian blur to this. Then you have a not so round marked background picture. If you need one, please aks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
You are welcome mike2nl. Now, it seems that I don't completely understand what do you mean with round marked background picture, are you referring to the centered dark rounded-square album art?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Thanks to everybody that voted. For those ppl selecting "a little", what can you suggest that can be improved?, thanks, feedback is always good for all of us.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mike2nl:
Hi gore_darkside,

sorry i was in hurry about a customer...

What i mean is .. the three or four circles in the BACKGROUND image they goes from white to a darker color in the background. The screenshot shows it not 100%, but on the phone it is not nice to view. I think you need more gussain blur to the GTX background color. NOT the album art..
[Windows Mobile Themes] gore_darkside:
Fine, I'll do a dithered png 8 bits background, it might fix that, thanks.

Another one: I wrote a reply to you in post #13, could you please help me with that? what tool can I use to build a cab with such characteristics? thanks again ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzle:

[Windows Mobile Themes] gr@ni:

As gore_darkside already wrote it will take some time, just be patience, I'm sure it will not take that so long.

I have tried loads of converters and can get GOOD quality videos if i like with no lip sync problems but i want EXCELLENT quality video like the encodes i had for my HD2 but just can't find a stable converter which works all the time.

The best video quality i can get is by using....

Winmenc then DVD Catalyst 3 then Any dvd Converter.

I can get stunning video from Winmenc but some clips either dont display the picture on the phone or have lipsync problems.

DVD Catalyst comes a close second for video quality and all clips play but still get lip sync problems.

Any dvd converter gives good quality video with no lip sync problems but picture is nowhere as good as Winmenc.

Anybody got any custom profiles or programs to get excellent quality video with no lip sync problems?

Thanks for any help

I use AnyDvD Converter Pro, playback is flawless using the following settings:

VIDEO

custom mp4

800x480 (or any other scaled resolution with 800px width that preserves the aspect ratio, unless source was low res to begin with, in which case i'll stick to the source's original res)

x264 video encoding

bitrate 2000kbps (again,provided the original bitrate was higher of course, otherwise,source's value ;) )

25/23.97fps depending on source of course

AUDIO

aac audio encoding

bitrate 320kbps

sampling 48000/44100 depending on source

2 channels

I have converted uber quality 1080p rips ( 20-30Gb worth, 20-25Mbps video bitrate, 1536+kbps 7.1 DTSHD audio) with these settings, and the results are GREAT :D. I havent tried pushing the video bitrate any higher, but it might playback nicely with higher values as well.

Double Twist

Why don't you try to use DoubleTwist?

It looks like iTunes, and when you sync any type of movie or audio with Desire, it will convert to the format that Desire can play. Just like that, no need to configure anything.

It also run quite fast, and it's free!

Diamond but changed a little bit, max res is 800x480, veryhigh, x.264 one pass

Sorry for the late reply, here are the megaupload links to a couple of video clips i've encoded using the preset i posted yesterday. Souce was a 1080p BRrip in both cases.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V8TPXP3T

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3V318NMP

The Transformers' souce had a subtitle track and it was embedded in the rip, so that answers the previous question about subs. I have yet to check if subtitles can be disabled, but i guess it can be done (in my case, i am interested in plain english audio tracks, i don't even know what language is that :P:P )

edit: for some weird reasons the audio is noticeably out of sync WHEN PLAYED ON A PC...they are perfect on the Desire though. Pretty weird, last time i checked my pc kicks asses so the problem must be resting in the mp4 container..
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
I'll upload the profile for you when I get back on the PC (by weekend). I change some things around with every vid though, depending on its properties. Too many internal coder settings you can tweak for slight visual/acoustic differences including how much to raise the sound in db and how much of the clip to cut out.
