RUU is official update file HTC give you on their site.

Fair enough if you go down stock route, but custom ROMs have come a long way since then. You could always try something like villainrom and see how it goes, as it is based on the gsm update for 2.1 :)

If you install the htc 2.1, then you will be stuck on it forever, as it wont be rootable.

I believe I bricked my G1. When I try turning on the phone the screen stays black and doesn't respond at all except for the red light that turns on. And I can't access any of the "setup screens" (I don't know what they're called).

I was trying to downgrade to RC29 by putting DREAIMG.nbh into my sd card and then pressing the camera button + end button. I got to the setup screen but nothing happened, it just hanged there so I pulled out the battery. Then I went online to find another method and found the home button + end button method. But when I tried it I needed update.zip which I didn't have on my sd card at the time so I tried the first method again. The same thing happened, it just hanged on the setup screen. So I pulled out the battery again and now I can't get it to turn back on.
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
Is the battery charged? :rolleyes:

You haven't bricked anything because you haven't actually done anything yet.. It doesn't sound like you have much idea what you're doing or why. I'd suggest some more reading first.
[G1 General] riki28:
does the red LED blink? If so, charge your battery and you'll be ok...

Bricked my blackstone, cannot charge, cannot turn on or enter bootloader. Wondering if there's anyway to unbrick besides JTAG. Thanks for any help.
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
have you tried leaving out the battery for a few minutes and then enter bootloader? And how did you brick it?
[Touch HD General] A|ex:
if you have the bootloader hspl on i find it hard that you managed to brick it, your phone might be damaged. have you tried to charge the battery or replacei t with one with power in and start up?
[Touch HD General] ckong1:
i let my brother use the phone for a while and somehow it came back to me in this state. I've tried leaving the battery out overnight, charging with original cable, zapping the battery with 9v & exposed USB, and also buying a new battery.

[Touch HD General] cvchetan:
i had a similar problem..

there is no charging taking place, no screen display, but if u hold the power key long enough u get a vibration nd then the boot up sound but nothing on screen. leave it that way and after sometime screen starts workin..

found that the problem is something related to "microp error" which is strangely neither a hardware error nor a software error. some people reported that a complete disassembly and reassembly resolved their problem but tht too did not work in my case..

htc said they needed to replace the motherboard, but m outta warranty so m not getting it done.

neways best luck for ur fone

cheers
[Touch HD General] ckong1:
Thanks for all the input, it's pretty clear that the phone is dead and since i'm out of warranty i will be having the motherboard replaces. I guess you'll see a thread in marketplace for my hd as parts...
[Touch HD General] Fady_0:
Unfortunatly , the same problem occured to me 2 days ago :/ .. the phone was working great , i just removed an application , installed another one and played the monopoly game for like 2 hours . when i finished playing i locked the phone.. tried to unlock it again , the screen didnt work , i tried charging it , the LED didnt work , i removed the battery, restarted the phone .. i heard the login sound but the screen didnt work too.

However, 4-5 hours later i gave it another try ... everything worked fine .. but the same problem occured when i locked it

I am not out of warranty date .. but am pretty sure they will remove my warranty when they find out that i used that permenant spl thingy + a cooked rom

and since an old nokia 7710 Motherboard costs 1700 ep in egypt ( $ 310 ) i cant afford to change the HDs one

anyway, as a last try ... is there anything i can do if i manage to open the phone again? change the rom maybe? oh .. and btw can i change the HSPL back to the stock one + installing a stock rom? maybe then they wouldnt cancel my warranty

oh and whats JTAG ?

thnx in advance for ur replies
[Touch HD General] sny2ksa:
Dear Fady

First of All change the HSPL back to the stock one and after installing a stock ROM i am sure your problem will solved.

if you got any information's regarding the JTAG please post here.

Is anyone going to try to get one of these Windows Embedded Handheld devices so you can use all your Windows Mobile apps instead of going for Windows Phone 7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
WinEH is designed for enterprise markets, so they probably won't offer these phones to consumers. WP7 will probably be the main offering for most people.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TAMHAN:
If possible, definitely.

I think that it will be just a question of time until HTC starts to do a WEH box. Ah, and something else - Symbol makes really nice hardware. I handled them at the CeBit some time ago, and would have had no issues using one of these devices as my main phone of it were given to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
WP7 is for consumers

WEH is for businesses/enterprise

It's pretty simple
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I didn't ask what the target market was. I'm not an idiot, but that won't stop people from going and getting a device when they come out. They just won't be advertised. Like my TMO Touch Pro2 is a business device and was never advertised but I still went and picked one up. My question is whether or not YOU are going to try to get a Windows Embedded Handheld Phone or move to Windows Phone 7 not if the average consumer is going to do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jo_iii:
Hmm, if there's an upgrade for the current HTC Touch phones, it's gonna be this. I'm going to try and work on it. >:)

Screw WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Business pick what their employees want. Just look at the iPhone.

WP7 will be for business as well, just look at the sharepoint integration. It'll be very win, specially for tech'ish companies (I already have wild dreams about ticket control for TFS over my mobile, combined with sharepoint!)

People sticking to Windows Mobile is just the stubborn old people, that won't move on, even if they don't have any good arguments not to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Exactly. And it's not just corporations, the US Department of Defense is looking at using iPhones and Android!

WP7 in v1 isn't really enterprise ready for many businesses as there's not enough policy/control. It's basically just the normal exchange settings, forcing a PIN, and remote wipe at the moment. They also don't allow private app distribution. Once they add more device control and a way to push apps to the phones, they'll jump all over it. Their .net developers will be begging them to. Apple doesn't "get" the enterprise. Microsoft does.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
But to get the enterprise market to use your phones, you need the average consumer to use it first. Once you got a success with that, you can implement enterprise features.

Also way to many .NET developers, even the Microsoft employees on the different .NET divisions use iPhone, just look at their tweets from various iPhone apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
iPhone isn't a business device yet businesses are starting to want to use it. Why? Because the people who work the the business don't want to carrie around multiple phones and they like their iphone. So, if WP7 can get it right on the consumer side people will be begging to have their device used for their business as well and if WP7 can set it up to make that an easy task then Microsoft will have a big win on their hands.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Yea, it looks like they're doing a parrallel line like Windows NT (business)/Windows 98(consumer).

I'm assuming WP8 will unite the lines and be the Windows XP of MS's mobile line.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
No, they aren't. How many time are to we say this?

WP7 comes with more business tools than any other smartphone. Hell, there is even plans for private application distributions over the market, they just aren't done yet.

Any arguments to keep WinMobile is stupid nonsense so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
What do you mean no they aren't? Of course they are having 2 seperate product lines for the time being, because wp7 isn't ready to replace windows mobile as of yet. You said it yourself, they're not done, so they're maintaining 2 seperate product lines like my analogy Windows NT/2000 & Windows 98.

Maybe the confusion is that I put WP8...I probably should have sais "WP8". Whether or not they keey the moniker wp7 doesn't really matter, I just meant a later release of the newer OS.

And I don't see how wp7 is coming with more business tools than Windows Mobile. It's going to have office and sharepoint integration, I don't see how that's more than what we have now. Add on top of that, all the in house business applications that cannot be reproduced in wp7 as of yet, and I'll call your statement exaggeration.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
WP7 is ready to replace Windows Mobile. And they are not maintaining it as two different lines of products, as WP7 is not released yet, and Windows Mobile looks like to not be maintained further.

If WP7 fails, Microsoft is likely to draw out of the mobile market entirely.

WP7 is designed for both private and business consumers. It's not meant to be a private alternative to Windows Mobile.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Everything I've read has suggested that Windows Mobile "Classic" has several years of support left it in. I'd be surprised if we don't see another version of it released. We already have WEH, and that's fairly new, I'm sure they'll release updates to that as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Vista and Windows 7 was also intended to replace Windows XP. And Windows Server 2008 R1 and R2 was also meant to replace Windows Server 2003.

Yet the products still have support. But they aren't further developed, and application developers will only focus on supporting the new and hip platform (read: WP7).
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Except that Vista & Windows 7 can perform pretty much any task that Windows XP can perform and then some. That's not the case in windows mobile and the october release of wp7.

You're thinking too consumer facing and not business facing. Eventually it will be replaced in the business sector, but that OS is not wp7 in October. Perhaps wp7 in 2012.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
It'll replace Windows Mobile in the business sector, as fast as iPhone replaced Palm Pre / Blackberry / Windows Mobile.

You don't get it, business already changed to using iPhones, Windows Phone 7 will just be "neater" with their other Windows solution. And thus they'll rather pick that.

Windows Phone 7 can also perform all the same tasks as Windows Mobile can. You're just unhappy with being forced to get applications over-the-air.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
While some businesses are adopting the iPhone, most are sticking with Blackberry and some WinMo. The iPhone just doesn't have the management capabilities that Blackberry does. It's certain that MS will add this support (basically just support for System Center) and once they do it will have a leg up in the enterprise over iPhone and potentially even Blackberry. The thing that Blackberry has is that it's the clear dominant party here and enterprise users are notoriously slow to adopt new technology. Most upper middle/management, who are the ones that primarily supplied with devices and make these decisions, are the older portion of the workforce and aren't too keen on all the new-fangled gadgets. They've figured out how to use their blackberries and don't want to change. Of course I'm generalizing massively but this is true a vast majority of the time.

I work in IT for a fortune 100 company and I have seen some push to get iPhones and Android devices in use but it's pretty much gone nowhere. There's even some effort in the US Department of Defense to make this happen there and that looks like it's actually gonna happen surprisingly enough. But the problem prohibiting widespread usage is the lack of security and management features.

So once WP7 gets the full suite of management tools and a method of private app distribution, it will have a big leg up on the competition. Why? Tight integration with Microsoft's enterprise management and content systems. It already has good integration with Exchange and SharePoint. Managers (and regular users) will continue to request/demand more modern devices. The IT departments will demand more enterprise features than iPhone and Android provide. WP7 will provide that happy medium. I would imagine that this will come with the next release of SCCM.

But let's not dismiss RIM just yet. They're updating their OS a good bit for the next release (including a Webkit based browser) so it's unlikely that we'll see a mass exodus anytime soon. If WP7 is cheap for companies to add to their infrastructure, it could become a real alternative to Blackberry.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Companies are notorious slow at picking up new technology yes. But their employees are not. So when half the company runs around with a iPhone, you can't ignore it any longer.

I'm still wondering exactly what management capabilities you want. It's a bloody phone, it's not meant to be controlled by the IT-department, it's meant to do what it's made for.

Silly American companies with internet filters, and strict policies won't ever go with a smartphone like this. But luckily times are changing, and most companies are realizing that employees work better if given proper freedom.

But yeah, I think there's a culture gap between Europe and American way of thinking about devices in a work context here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
No it can't, just need to look at the input options to start with.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Explain yourself? What input options?
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
Resistive screen, stylus, fingernail, transcriber, block conversion, drawing
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
How is that relevant to the software? You're talking about hardware support, which isn't being disallowed by the "rules" for WP7 hardware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gerryjoson:
What is the software makers requirements for the hardware on WP7 devices big boy? capacitive screen by any chance? from everything I've read it is, and thus, the things I've listed are highly unlikely to be provided, or, definitely won't be doable.

Fact is, the hardware requirements are Microsofts wish, that's how it's relevant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Not like Google (Android is any different, or Windows Mobile for that sake.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
That's correct. None of that will be supported in WP7. It's a "finger only" OS. Just like all the other modern smartphone OSes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
It's actually possible to make a Stylus that works with a typical touch-screen. Lifehacker even had a guide how to make one :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Oh of course. But the OS won't be designed to really use it. Someone could write an app that is only feasibly accessed by a stylus but they would be idiots for doing so.

I've been using exclusively my finger for years on my WinMo phones. I feel like I'm finally getting my revenge on the stylus lovers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Silverlight have device support for a Stylus, soooooo
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
A stylus is just a touch point. It's much more of a hardware thing than a software thing. From a UI/Software perspective, it just allows you to utilize the added accuracy of the stylus. A touch-friendly UI can be used with a stylus but the opposite isn't always true.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gbdssd:
WP7 I use also very accustomed to, but I think it makes a lot of people use.

[Windows Phone 7 General] JC_Agga:
I couldn't have said it better. Hackers will probably favor windows mobile over wp7. But i don't see any reasons not to like wp7. I was into trying out the cooked roms, but in the end, they are still buggy, some are too wild, and all over the place, and i started to hate using cooked roms now. I just want something that works, instead of installing new updated roms every weeks or months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I feel the same. But why would hackers want WM over WP7? WP7 is a new challenge. That's half the fun. Also, why would you want to start with a buggy base when you could start with something that is slick and clean and add onto/mod it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] akbisw:
The challange would be to add true multitasking, Its clear that It does multitask, but it hides all the open programs(sort of). A kind of task manager would be EPIC

Hey guys, chek this out: zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-rolls-out-latest-release-of-its-operating-system-for-ruggedized-mobile-devices/8390
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
What you quoted sounded stupid. Wp7 and wm offer two fundamentally different types of user experience. People who prefer one or the other shouldn't be sxrutinized one bit.

There are lots of things wm does that wp7 doesn't. The only true advantages wp7 has is its user interface and hub metaphor.

For a business user or power user windows mobile is a better choice due to flawless exchange policy support on top of office mobile 2010, compatibility with zune drm, file manager, activesync/wmdc, expandable storage, etc.

You just are limited to one decent phone - the HD2.

Have been flashing roms all the time without issue.

I've tried to flash my mobile and get to HSPL boot screen but it doesn't recognise the leoimg.nbh no matter which rom i use

It says 'loading...' on a grey screen then goes to the red/green/blue screen and has 'serial' at the bottom.

i've tried upgrading hspl to 1.66 and also mtty format, oth worked fine, I now just can't flash any rom to the phone

Can anyone advise how I could sort this? could send paypal for your time if you can help me sort it

Have tried all of this but still no joy at all.

Does anyone else have a suggestion or is there another process that can be used for flashing if a direct flash from memory card doesn't work but the phone is formatted?

Thanks in Advance

[HD2 General] adama1980:
In case anyone has a similar problem:

I installed drivers for phone in bootloader USB mode from the mtty thread.

Set the phone to bootloader and plugged in usb and was able to flash from PC without having to be in winmo

I still can't flash from card but as this way works, it's not an issue.

Hi I'll be trying this rom on thursday, been too busy at work up until now but I would gladly love to have a stock rom w/o uneeded apps and programs that just take up memory and storage space. As long as you dont get rid of the goodies.

You should probably list down the apps and programs you wish to delete on your next rom so the community could give some input.

Just my opinion. Good job tho, will post my feedback for your rom soon.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I think I'll probably end up waiting for the stock 2.13 version with the extra T-Mo crapware stripped out.

Some suggestions for stuff to strip out/change:

- Cook in the older 2.10 touch drivers for smoother scrolling (already done)

- Replace stock digital compass with Dutty's version (this one includes the "set location" button)

- Remove Blockbuster

- Remove Telenav

- Remove paid games like Ferrari, Millionaire, Guitar Hero, Prince of Persia

- Leave Transformers in since the app itself so tiny

- Cook in new HTC Messaging 2015 or 2016. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700495

- Replace old version of MyPhone with the new one

- Replace old version of Marketplace with the new one

- Remove Barnes and Noble (or keep it if enough people want it)

- Remove MobiTV

- Cook in Cookie's home tab (or maybe by doing things like this we're moving away from the stock idea, up to you)

We can all collectively expand/trim down this list as needed, but this should be a pretty good start hopefully :)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] elracing21:
Everything you just said can go but i actually use mobitv

I do love the new messaging 2015 or 2016
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Yeah the new messaging is great for sure, amazing improvement over the stock one.

Btw I think there's a cab for mobitv floating around so it could easily be installed afterwards, I would imagine most people don't use it. But it's your ROM of course, so include it if you like :)

I'm really looking forward to this ROM!!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] toadlife:
This sounds exactly like the ROM I cooked for my wife. I put the old driver from a previous ROM, removed the crapware and added a few tweaks.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:

[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] scrizz:
