Okay I don't know how to flash a recovery except when the rom is running so what you'll need to do is a manual install follow these steps below (credit to zelfie and my search button) :

unplug your phone from your computer and turn it off before you do this

First download the ruu installer.exe

run the ruu installer.exe

open up taskmanager and go to processess

in processess you'll see "ARUWizard.exe" click on it and open file location

scroll through the temp file till you see rom.zip and copy it to your desktop

end the ruu.exe

now rename the rom.zip to HERCIMG.zip

place that on the root of your sdcard (on your sdcard but not in any folders)

Now turn your phone off (if not already)

put the sdcard back in and press volume up and the power button

when it comes back on press the volume down button

it will prompt you to push the action button (the trackball)

give it some time and it will do what needs to be done then start the process of getting root all over again. Don't use the page you mentioned before use this one.

Since I'm teaching you stuff I noticed that you don't know how to use the insert link button. Copy the link your gonna use then when you post a reply you'll notice a little globe with a chainlink, click on that and paste the link in there. Your not the only one who's done it lately otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
might wanna update that to say DON'T RUN THE RUU WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiphany1882:
Ok I am going to try it. Where do I the Ruu Installer? Is there more than one? As far as the link, I tried, but it said because I am a new member, I cannot link anything yet, until my profile is verified.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Thanks updated

ah well try here and here

just to be a smartass here
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiphany1882:
lol thanks.

Finally workin on it now. That Google thing was tough. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Lol goodluck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiphany1882:
Here is what I got:

Main Version is Older!

Update Fail!

Do you want to Reboot?

-yes

-no
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiphany1882:
Got it to update. I think Im still stuck in a bootloop though. HELP!! Its been pulling up the Sprint Logo and the HTC screen, but its stuck there!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
Take it back and exchange it for an LG Rumor 2. Haha just kidding I meant the Samsung Seek.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epiphany1882:
I took it back and exchanged it at the store. Hopefully there wont be a charge in the end. Im hoping the update removed root. *fingers crossed*
[Nexus One General] AndersLanders:
Before you start complaining that i'm a cheap douche let me just say that i don't live in the States, so i can't download pay-games without rooting my phone, and i don't feel like doing it.

So i'm just wondering if there's any way to download and install games without having to buy them?

Thanks,

Anders.
[Nexus One General] bewA:
I'll guess this thread lasts umm 30mins... :)
[Nexus One General] MarkM83:
Actually he's not asking where...but IF...there is a way.

So to conclude, and answer: Yes there is :D

But won't help you futher, as I think games and apps should be paid to show DEV. that they are doing a great job :)
[Nexus One General] m00moo:
he's lying to you. no theres not
[Nexus One General] D200P13:
i agree. i will admit that the only apps i have obtained are for trial use. some apps dont have a lite or free version but if it works as expected always buy to show support and get support. i know the guy that makes xfmobile and a at the start of this year was thinking of completing its first year then stopping the dev for lack of support and funds.

but to answer your question yes its possible to get paid apps for free on stock phones unless its a pay to play game.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Instead of getting them for free, how about mailing the author of the one you want and asking if he would sell you a copy direct rather than through the market. Everybody wins.
[Nexus One General] hilaireg:
All good answers to a question that typically generates flamming ... thread closed.
[About XDA developers] RobRedbeard:
After the amount of cleaning required of the recent WP7 ROM dump post, it came to me to recommend that invent or implement a way for a group of developers to hold their conversation in public view (to further learning and openness) while not simultaneously giving everyone the right to post to that topic.

This seems preferable to having completely private developer groups form where discussions no longer provide learning opportunities for less experienced users.

Invite-only reply, but all can read.

[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
I'm not sure if this is possible with vBulletin, but there are a number of chefs / developers in the Chef Central forum who have moderator rights in that forum, which should allow them to post in closed threads, if required.

It's often a problem with anything new like this, everyone gets excited and wants to talk about it, XDA has 5000+ members online most of the time. I don't think preventing people from posting is the best way forward though, who's to say one members opinion is less than any others. In my experience, soon things will be old news and those in the know will have all the facts and share them in a many more accessible ways.

Hi everyone,

How can I sync my contacts between mac and Desire.

Is there any iSync plugin available?

Thanks
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
Syncmate for syncing with Google or Missing Sync for direct syncing. No iSync plugin as far as I know.

[Desire General] antz88c:
Set up your Mac contacts and iCal to sync with google, then sync Desire. Data will be synced wirelessly. After which, your choice to disable gmail sync on you Mac.

This worked for me.

As for your bookmarks, you can follow this:

http://www.rerware.com/MyBookmarks/default.aspx
[Desire General] FalkenX:
Sync your contacts with Google and as said before it syncs wirellesly.

For the rest on your mac e.g. music (from itunes) and photos from iphoto use doubletwist, works like a charm.

[Desire General] n-j-f:
Sorry if there is a very obvious answer to this. I have a SIM lock on my simcard on my Desire so I have to input the PIN code when I switch it on. Occasionally, I get distracted and the SIM unlock keypad disappears before I put in the code. I have not found a way to get it back to input the code without switching the phone off and on again. Surely there's an easier way?
[Desire General] Don't Ask:
Just tested it on my phone, after the keyboard goes away I have the lock slider, and under the text "Drag down to enter PIN1 code"

Obviously dragging it down lets me enter the code.

You don't see the same screen?
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Ah but I suppose my problem then is that I am running No Lock to avoid the lockscreen. I suppose there may not be another solution.
[Desire General] Gana1991:
Reading this topic just reminded me to put a sim lock on my phone.

What is the initial SIM PIN when you have not set it yet?
[Desire General] heckevin:
Me too, just set my new PIN.

As for the initial PIN, it is 0000 for O2 UK but I think it is the same for other operators. You can always check it with your network operator.
[Desire General] Qas.:
1210 for T-Mobile UK, at least that's what mine was. Although it is an old one2one blue SIM.
[HD2 General] Dunc001:
BSB and XT Hack both have options in them to activate these hidden camera modes, but none of the modes actually work. Burst and Sports don't work at all and the geotag on the GPS photos doesn't show the correct position when you right click on the photo in Album and select 'Show on map' - on my phone it is at least 30 miles to the east in every instance.

Has anyone found a way of making these modes function correctly (i.e. later camera drivers) or are they all disabled by default as there is no way of making them function properly?

I'm running with Steve and Miri's latest Elegancia v8.0 ROM (2.13 base) so should have the latest camera drivers already.
[HD2 General] DrATty:
My setup shows the location of photographs properly. I have installed the latest version of Google Maps.

I wondered if this worked for me because I live near 0° longitude but then took pictures in France that were located correctly too.

If there's anything that I can check or send to you that might help, please let be know.
[Touch HD General] adriafix:
Hi.

I try to format on my pc with my card reader but he doesn`t recognize the card.

Try to flash original rom but with no success.

is there a solution fot this?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] jim4il:
Same here, just went to a store and purchased new SD Card, the old one is gone. Another thing I've rad, that the SD have to be out when flashing ROM. I work a lot with Flash Memory (disk-on-key) and noticed that Flash Memory is not a trustworthy data keeper, it day they can just stop working and nothing you can do about.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LordBhaal:
Hello.

I have a diamond with standard rom2.03.401.2 WWE.

SPB shell and s2u finally grew old and i want a new ROM. I want it to have Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Office 2010 and opengl drivers (for best performance). I want it clean and simple, nothing more than what i stated above and maybe sense 2.5.

I need help to find such a rom, and flashing help. I never flashed a non-official version. I've read the tutorials, but i want you to give me ROM recommendations and indicate which HardSPL i need to use and some basic instructions on what to do.

Thank you a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] LordBhaal:
Anyone ? Please help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dennisonuy:
There are many WM6.5 ROMs in this forum, just try any one of them and choose which one you like best.

This game is on Pc has it been ported to HD2 cant find anything on search but looks basic and pretty good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bronx:
I'm afraid that there is no winmo port nor any news about it, however it would be one of the coolest games for hd2 ever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] otherworld:
Might be able to get the swf file from the website version of the game running via flash lite on the hd2 (not tried)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jammie_1989:
That sucks why does the crappy iphone have all the good apps. Would be amazing if the HD2 could port the whole apple appstore :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] enyaj:
been waiting for this to be released on our HD2 for quite a while now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SH4YD33:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] otherworld:
Probably because winmo phone owners don't support the microsoft app store enough to entice enough professional developers to put in the effort. They're happy to insult it even though its success/failure is probably related to the life blood of the windows mobile platform and their phone. I don't like Itunes/iphone as it is a horriblly closed platform - but millions buy from its app store so professional developers write for it and the platform (in terms of apps) flourishes. Yes, we've got a great freeware scene on windows mobile - but that doesn't attract professional developers who want to pay their bills with their talent.

I'd be interested to know why some of the best apps on XDA aren't on there - not every winmo/hd2 phone owner is going to go via XDA (unfortunately) but most will load up the app store at one point or another - xda could make a big difference to the perception of the microsoft app store (and hence the windows mobile platform as a whole) by releasing their best apps there too. Snowballs don't roll unless they're pushed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Excellent answer!

Spot on!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
Its rather costly to put apps on Marketplace. And for the people who like to create free apps, it's counterproductive.

let's face it, winmo users have been used to sideloading apps for a decade...it isn't gonna change anytime soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bronx:
I dare to say You are talking bull* sir... :rolleyes: even if it works (I wasn't lucky enough to get through ad video) then I doubt if it's playable.

sigh... zuma 1.50 is so damn great.... imagine having pvz in Your pocket with same top notch quality. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hidden_dragon:
This will change with WM7. Unfortunately, no backwards compatibility.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fantasytozi:
IMO, winmo users are completely different with Winphone 7 users

So "it's not gonna change anytime soon" quite right:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] otherworld:
It's not costly at all to put apps on marketplace. You can get five apps put on marketplace for just $99. My first app made that $99 back on the 1st night it went on sale (and that's just a UK only one) with four app submissions still to go included in the price. Even apps at the most minimal cost will recoup that 99. Why is their such a negative feeling to (our own) the microsoft app store. Especially from us! It's better T&C's than the apple one - and that one we're completely jealous of! We're our own enemy.

XDA could get behind our app store, support it, and be a massive contributor to it!, but mainly just stop insulting it or criticising it, or only ever mentioning the freeware app stores - we're the only ones who'll end up suffering for it if it never grows and therefore never attracts more quality apps and therefore our platform just dies from lack of professional developer support. I love winmo, but phones these days are being judged by their app stores, just look at http://best-apps.t3.com/ as an example - it doesn't make any mention of the thousands of freeware winmo apps available, or xda apps, just what is in the official app store - and it's lack of apps there is making winmo look crap.

I really wish too that some of the top app writers from the iphone would port some of their wonderful apps, but I can also see why they don't bother with the way the app store is perceived at the moment.

XDA could make a real difference to our platform - but I'm worried we prefer to 'hide away' in our web site with a superior look on our faces rather than actually getting out and showing the world what hd2's etc. can really do.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cnrl:
My phone was working fine,was planning on selling it since i just got an xperia x10 ,i plug the magic for the night and in the morning the touch screen stop working,it froze at the unlock screen and i cant unlock it,after a while the phone keep rebooting.I try the hard reset without success,any suggestion? I have a stock magic on the rogers network.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zelda26:
you said "stock." You haven't tried to root it or anything? One day you turn it on and you don't have touchscreen functionality?

Have you pulled the battery and plug it back in after a min or so?

Did you download any themes or applications recently?

You can use the trackball to do a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue.

hi guys..... i am just about to Flash my first ROM.... its

Energy.RHODIUM.21903.Sense2.5.MaxManila.May.13

first of all... is it the right ROM for touch pro 2..... i just need for the fun of it n some cool themes..... :D dont make a lot of use of my touch pro 2.....

Also wt radio version should i use... I live in India... n bought my touch pro 2 from Dubai (came factory unlocked)....

thanks for help in advance ppl... :) reallly appreciate it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jhernand1102:
First make sure you hardspl your phone or you will brick it. Second NRG is about to release a new ROM for our TP2's, you may want to wait till tomorrow. Third only you can decide which radio is best for you, its all based on location on which will give you better reception. Once you hardspl then you can try out different ones to see which works the best for you..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] papo:
I had this useless 2.5 mil Y cable coming with ma rhodium, and was looking at the small hole with pain and sorrow until I came with the idea and chop it off.

this wouldn't be any best written how-to, there are good ones out there, like this:

http://mrkunkel.com/2009/05/22/custom-htc-touch-pro-video-out-cable-howto/

but none for Y cable.

COLORS:

1-WHITE-video out (is used for mic with headset)

2-BLACK-audio R

3 & 4 - now this is treachery!!!!! they are together coming on RED wire!!!!!

........3 - RED - sense video (button with headset)

........4 - RED - sense headset

5-BLUE-audio GND

6-GREEN-audio L

there is a yellow wire just cut short but not connected, NO this is NOT the wire you would think it is. it's just not connected on the other end as well.

how to separate them without cutting through usb-hub (the 11pin) connector? Just take the pin4 out from outside, break it with needle. Twist it from side to side till it surrender.

after it's gone, the RED goes with BLUE to common RCA (sinch connectors) ground
[HD2 General] cuspess:
Hi, I am currently using HD2 with an officall WWE ROM.

As things are working alright to me so far, I have no intention to get into the business of flashing just yet (not until a year of play around with it before i feel bored~! lol)

However I found the built-in dialer of this offical ROM abit too small, causing wrong dialling sometimes. I have aware that there are a few clever guys who worked on diallers with a much user-friendly interface (such as bigger keys for the number pad, idialer to name one), I found that most of them require to install the whole thing replacing the old, therefore losing the original layout from the offical rom (such as the call history + phonebook interface), which i am quite please with.

So I am here to ask, as I aware that the number pad on the offical dialler could be hidden and I though there must be some setting that limiting it to such a small size, is there any mod or registry setting that I could do or change to make the dialling pad/number pad (whichever why you call it) full screen size, while maintaining the ability to hide inside the offical dialling interface?

THX very much!
[Desire General] redstar99:
Is there a TCPM player or equivalent for Android does anyone know?

Thanks
[Desire General] redstar99:
bump.

I am wanting to watch some streams on my HTC desire that are compatible with TCPM player anyone know of anything similar that will work on my desire?

cheers
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:

[Desire General] redstar99:
vlc and http streaming through it.
[Desire General] agent.m:

[Desire General] redstar99:
Thanks, ill give that a try :cool:
[Desire General] jankos:
Do not try it :D. yxflash is the buggiest software ever made. Especially on the Desire.
[Desire General] redstar99:
Heard mixed reviews, but doesnt sound like there is anything else capable of playing of VLC (X264) streams?
[Desire General] redstar99:
Ive tried 'yxflash' as well as 'stream media player' on my HTC desireand neither of them will run the VLC(x264) streams im wanting to play.

Hopefully a TCPM player for the android will be released soon.
[Desire General] d3sm0nd:
There is no proper player for android at the moment... but there will be a version of CorePlayer for android that will solve all our issues!
[Desire General] redstar99:
Any idea when this is likely to be released mate?
[Desire General] mancuk29:
When I got my desire it was stable and fast the more I put on it the slower it gets . I've tried numerous task killers and some of them screw the phone up . On one thread someone suggested leaving the phone to manage its own background programs . What does everyone thing is it better with no task manager ?

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

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Desire General] auldreekie:
My personal choice is to leave taskiller off the desire. I put a taskiller on and almost immedietly the phone started acting wierd eventually getting into some sort of loop rebooting itself. After many reboots it eventually gave me enough time to uninstall the taskiller. Obviously that was the problem as it has never repeated itself since. My phone runs fine without it.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
I really cannot understand why people use task killers. As I have said before if you are a real expert and you have a badly behaved program that you have to use you might just have to use of a task killer.

If you are not a real expert or are even asking the question don't use one. You will almost certainly end up with worse performance and decreased battery life.

I have 60 plus applications on my Desire and don't suffer any slowdowns or other problems. There is just no need for task killers/managers. This is NOT windows!

Android has a built in task killer. It's pretty good and IMHO difficult to improve on.
[Desire General] pascanu:
Kill Task Killers!! :)

Agree with others, you only need it to kill a rogue app without reset.
[Desire General] andycted:
I have around 100 apps and the only semi-slowdown I can feel is by putting complex widgets and live wallpapers together. Otherwise I've tried some of these task killers and even killing all the 20-30 processes 'frozen' or active in the background had no effect.

Still I keep it in order to kill those badly designed applications that have some glitches in going back to the main screen or rarely get stuck.

I would think that if you experience some problems they are not related to the quantity of applications open in background, but rather by a single one that has some design flaw.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
Well said.

The trouble is people use a task killer when they don't have a problem. They just kill apps. without a clue what they are doing.

I repeat don't use a task killer until you really have too.
[Desire General] polystirenman:
and what about battery life?is too many running apps affecting battery?
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
Doesn't affect battery at all. Almost all apps. are suspended in the background when you move away from them. Task killers are the major cause of poor battery performance as killed apps. then have to be reloaded instead of resumed. Try switching between say six applications, and using them, with and without task killing. I bet you will see a massive performance gain without the task killer.
