[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Gorlum_:
I flashed a new htc touch pro 2 verizon with hardspl, and it was fine - rebooted happily and was fully functional. Then I flashed it with a ROM, and it doesn't boot further than htc logo. I can load a menu with choices to go back to original settings, etc. but nothing can reverse a damage. I tried flashing it from sd card with whatever ROMs - it didn't help. From what I read as long as you use right spl, a phone is not a total brick, but it looks like it is. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

PS. In case you are wandering which ROM killed it: it was an unofficial russian version. I tested it on my t-mobile htc, and it was functional. Then I reversed back to energy rom. I bought htc verizon for my dad, but he asked me to flash it with a russian rom. It didn't go well as you see:).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mattgrantlackey:
well i dont think it is considered a "brick" unless it wont boot, thats where the term brick or paper weight came from (because thats all it can be used for lol). so with it still starting up, i think there is still hope for you and your device. first off, did u SD flash it in the first place, or is that you attempt at fixing it? cause i think u just got a bad flash. so if you havent tried it, i would try and do it the original way. worth a shot :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] quantumtransfer:
try finding someone who has a modified version of task29, basically that should take the "bad" rom off of it and only have the boot screen.. i think its an option needing looking into.. hopefully it will work for you.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Diamond_dawg:
are you sure its a cdma rom? or else ur phone wont go past boot...check the sticky for cdma roms

Hi

I got a sprint htc tp2, with wm 6.5, and I cant get the Internet Sharing to work keep getting error code 67. I have already tried wmw wifirouter dose not work,program shows no options.I have used it in the past and understand how to use.Tried editing the registry with cabs and manually with no success. the only thing i can think of that might be causing the problem is 6.5.I cant find any similar post with others experiencing this issue

any help would greatly be appreciated

Thank You -in advance
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Machineking369:
I used to have the same exact problem it's the cab file bro. Get rid of it or hard reset your phone. Get a registry editor and do this.

1. Edit the following regestry entries. Hard part is finding a registry editor, but they are out there:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]

Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]

ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]

MaxCMCon=0

2. Delete [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CMGuardian]

Hope this helps! You should be good to go.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconoclastnet:
Every time you install a new build, you have to download a new swype (not just re-install the last one).

Delete swype, then re-run the swype-installer, login to their site and it'll download you a new swype which you can then install. I know it's annoying, but if you change your build you'll need to repeat that again and get a new download.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:

What's the difference between rooting using the guide posted in this forum and this Unrevoked thing I'm seeing?

Not sent from an iPhone
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
I have a rooted desire and never really tried restoring a backup and when I finally did I came across this error message:

No SD ext found. skipping backup of SD EXT

Generating MD5 sum

error while checking md5 sum!

chcking md5 sum....

MD5 mismatch!

My SD card has no partition whatsoever and I'm using fake flash by paul. My old phone was a N1 and I had no problem whatsoever doing this before. Is making a backup and restoring in the Desire an entirely different process?

Also how do you automatically backup apps in the Market? Meaning if I switch roms and just logged into my Google account the market would automatically "restore" my old apps. I used to be able to do this once in a while with my old N1 but I couldn't do it consistently. With my Desire I can't do it at all.

Thanks
[Desire General] MasDroid:
It will give that error if you have no ext partition on your sd card. If you're not using apps 2 sd then you need not worry about it.

Other than that, try the latest clockwork recovery (2.0.1.4) and try a nandroid backup and restore.
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Nandroid backup seems to work and I do get to see the file but when I try to restore it fails! Do I need to make an extension for it to work?

What about restoring apps from the marketplace via the internet? Like I said, I've done it a few times with my N1 wherein it automatically restores everything once I log in my Google account.

Thanks
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Try creating an ext partition, convert ext2 to ext3. If it fails again, try backing up and restoring using the Nand using the latest Clockwork Recovery (2.0.0.7).

Your apps are linked to your Google account so when you sign in, they should be available for manual download.

You could also backup and restore your apps and data to your sd card using Titanium backup or MyBackup Pro (available from the Marketplace).
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Apps are indeed linked but how do they become restored automatically? Like I said, I've done it before on my N1 with "applications restored" showing up on the notification bar.

Where do I get the latest clockwork recovery? Tried looking at the forums and came up empty. I just followed Paul's guide for rooting. Still don't understand why I can't restore from a nandroid.

thanks
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I am not aware of any method to restore apps automatically from the Marketplace, i do it manually unless using a backup and restore app.

Try reading the fake flash thread on MoDaCo as i remember people had reported the same issue you are experiencing. What version of fake flash are you currently using?

You will find the Clockwork Recovery as an option in the ROM Manager app, which you can download from the Marketplace.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
The easiest method is to use unreEVOked (link).

The earlier version of unreEVOked installed a much earlier version of clockwork recovery, and I found that the nandroid backup didn't work properly - it would seem to backup (albeit too quickly), but you couldn't restore due to the MD5 problem. I think it didn't actually ever complete the backup and generate the MD5s.

Version 2 hopefully fixes that problem - certainly Nandroid backups take a lot longer!

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Thanks guys.

Will look into unrevoked and try to get it to work. I'll also try to update my fake flash. I have been using the very first version when it came out and never really updated it lol
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Updated my fake flash and it worked! Thanks guys!

Didn't know that the clockwork recovery was embedded into fake flash. I thought it was just an enabler or something.

Thanks again! :)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
If you use unrEVOked you don't need Fake Flash, or vice versa.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Have still yet to try unrevoked, what exactly does it do when I plug it into my desire? Does it make me run Amon Ra's N1 recovery image? No more screen with the red triangle?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
No problem bud, glad it worked out for you :)

When you enter Recovery, it loads the recovery image straight away, so you get a permanent custom recovery image when you hold power + home.
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
Will try it out thanks again! Currently experimenting with the Rom manager application. It's pretty neat and u can update the recovery image instantly. I take it as something like an app inside ur phone? Always there in the background waiting to be used?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Hi, is anyone else having the problem that ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.1 just hangs after "Backing up system..." when trying to do a Nandroid backup?

Trying to run a ROM backup using ROM Manager and Nandriod Backup but both go to a screen with a red triangle

Phone is rooted and running Defrost

I want to update to defrost 6.1

Any other way of backing up the ROM ?

Thanks
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Boot in to recovery manually and back up or clear the download cache in rom manager and reflash clockworkmod. If it still fails try to disable signature verification in recovery (under install zip form sd)
[Desire General] BorgCymru:
I can't get to recovery though thats the problem.

How do you reflash clockworkmod ? Through ROM Manager ?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
yes, first option when you open rom manager
[Desire General] BorgCymru:
Cashe cleared, then I tried to run the update ROM option selected back up and clear data etc.

Went straight to a red triangle, will now try and see about changing this clockworkmod

Thanks.
[Desire General] BorgCymru:
Ran the re-flash clockwork option, first one on the list, still gets the red triangle of noness.

[Desire General] mikep99:
Do you have 'update.zip' in the root of your sdcard?

And does it look like clockworkmod within the zip?
[Desire General] BorgCymru:
Managed to get something to happen

I've followed the other instructions and managed to run the back up option, also ran the wipe/restore option, but seem to have worked.

Yet now when I run the update from SD card, the now DeFrost ROM is on the root of the SD card and renamed. It flashed a few lines on the screen the returns back to the clockmod menu.

I've no idea what this means.

Aslo is the any way to make the font for these menus any bigger. There so small I have to use a magnifying glass to read them.

Thanks
[Desire General] mikep99:
The defrost rom doesn't need to be renamed. What did you rename it to?

I suggest you put it in a folder on your sdcard and choose zip to install in clockworkmod.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Its served me well for the past year but now i fear it has gone kaput.. :(

2 days ago i noticed my homescreen had "no service" listed.

strange as i normally receive a 3g signal fine in my area with no loss..

So i figured take the sim out,

give it a clean and pop it back in

That came the same thing,

"no service"

So i took that sim out and tried my others [o2/tmobile and lebara]

Same thing, wouldn't get a signal..

==

So afraid to say this thing may end up on ebay or in the free ads as a faulty/repair handset as im lost with what to do.. >__<

Any advice guys?

[EDIT]

Yes the phone was unlocked,

must've been through atleast 14 different roms over time but that shouldnt effect this surely.. o__O
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Have you tried a hard reset or reflash?

If your phone still dead..when there's a dead body...commonly there's always an autopsy :D. It can be hardware (antena), maybe something is loose in there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Try hard-reset if not working flash stock and see if disabling 3G helps... Check no problems carrier side.

As Mr Clown said genrally a way to fix you just have to try every scenario and if not then might be hardware @ which point you can decide if worth the time/outlay?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Thanks guys for the info,

@MrClown I have tried a had reset to only end up in the same situation,

I will attempt a stock rom flash tonight to see if that helps

@Stylez Again i will try a stock flash and see if it helps,

Found a good one on the wiki so that should help

My guess is hardware related as the phone had been dropped a few times in the house albeit over many months not repeatedly,

I'll report back later guys

so thanks for the advice :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
hey dude! all is not lost! this is a common problem with the kaiser due to the sliding mechanism, i.e. "moving parts". over time, the wear and tear often causes the "main flex cable" to become loose/faulty. i had the same problem at the beginning of may 2010...had it fixed in 1 week and it worked fine. then i got an HD2 in june 2010 :D but the kaiser still works just fine!

i had made up my mind that the kaiser needed to be replaced the day it went bad. BUT i did not give up hope on it and decided to have it repaired because it is worth more in the second hand market with working phone functionality. did a simple cost-benefit analysis and figured i'd have it repaired AND get an HD2.

wouldn't you know it, i ended up GIVING the kaiser to my brother...had i sold it to a potential buyer, i'm certain it would be worth more if the phone parts work.

...and just to summarize! HD2 is GREAT! but i really miss the hardware keyboard of the kaiser and the super duper redundancy the kaiser had in terms of buttons...D-PAD+jog wheel+arrow keys on hardware keyboard, THREE OK buttons...count them! TWO start menu buttons. oh and the HD2 has a soft reset button in a REEAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYY difficult to access area behind the battery cover, unlike the kaiser's super friendly poke-the-stylus-in-the-hole approach. BUT i highly recommend the HD2 if you still fancy windows mobile...fast, HHUUUUUUGGGEEEE screen, and it seems android just might happen soon on the HD2.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Well if you'll care to enlighten me on where i could get this repair done id be most glad,

Wont be handing it to the people in my local market to fiddle with as i dont trust them at all :P

As in regards to the previous two guys a stock rom didnt help at all it still refuses to get a signal,

so its definatly something to do with this "flex cable"

But in regards to the HD i wont be getting one,

Most likely i'll be getting another xda exec [htc universal] for my social needs,

I have a tendancy of using dated hardware and pushing their limits :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
sure dude! i'm just going to post links here of THREE other threads about this issue (so you can verify with some more testing if the flex cable is really the actual issue), in which i have contributed my experience. you can read my posts there as well as all the other very helpful posts of other members.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=515264

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692530

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=620069

summary: first try some of the debugging techniques mentioned in the above threads and look for signs that the flex cable is indeed faulty. if so, you have 2 options:

1. get a do-it-yourself kit (available on many websites and also on ebay) and errrr do it yourself!

2. have someone reliable and experienced with such repairs carry out the repair.

i had to go for option 2. and i had to rely on the parts that the service repair guy had to offer (he cannibalized the flex cable from a tilt so the front camera of my tytn2 is no longer detected!).

i totally understand the need to milk out every last drop from these expensive devices. i truly respect the tytn2 even though it is an old device. that little bugger still has so much potential. hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] N3CR0M4NC3R:
Ahhh much thanks for the information man,

You have no idea how appreciative i am :D

Its definatly a hardware issue so its gonna have to be a replacement fixup for myself,

Looking into this listing on ebay:

Essentially from hong kong as usual but that looks like it would do the job,

The only problem now is that i have ZERO experience with mobile based mainboards and hardware changing,

Give me a pc or mac anyday and ill be done in seconds but im afraid im blank for mobile operations,

Would any UK members be able to give advice as to somewhere i could get this fitted?

Only option i can think of is at the carphone warehouse..

as in my first post i dont really wish to give this to the market people for a botched job :(

And much thanks to ASCIIker for all the helpful information,

cos id really dread getting rid of my TyTN II >_<

EPF21B to FRF91

http://android.clients.google.com/p...R_FRF91-1.13.1700.1_EPF21B_release_signed.zip

Instructions:

1. Download the update from one of the links above.

2. Rename the file to update.zip. Note that if you're using Windows, just rename it to "update" (no quotes, of course) because it's already a zipped file.

3. Copy the update.zip file onto your microSD card.

4. With your Nexus One off, hold down the trackball and press the power button.

5. You'll be booted into a white screen with three Android robots on skateboards. Select "Bootloader."

6. On the next screen, select "Recovery."

7. Your phone will reboot, giving you a picture of the Android robot and an exclamation point inside a triangle.

8. Now press the power button and volume up button at the same time. It could take a couple of tries.

9. Now (using the trackball this time) choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and let things run their course.

(Note: Before doing step 9 you can also run the "Wipe Cache Partition" option. This has been known to help with the soft key accuracy on the nexus one (optional. This causes no data loss.)
