[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Yeah it does.

Ive just tried again, the text fades etc then just stays on blank screen and doesnt go anywhere?

Im prettt sure I turned auto back light off (unless it goes back on after windows reset), how long is it supposed to stay on the blank screen?

[edit] Just tried a second time....

Clean formatted card

Extracted desire build 5

turned auto back light off

run CLRCAD

run haret

get the linux boot text

get init panel

txt melts away

just hangs, waited for 10 mins, nothing.

Do these builds need any particular windows rom version/radio version/spl/hspl etc?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meptik:
There's a definite requirement for the radio version: 2.08.50.05 or higher, as long as there's a 50 in the version number. People have been getting good results with 2.10.50.28_2 and 2.12.50.02_2.

ROM version might also influence things, check the Android thread. Some people are recommending EnergyRom, I'm using Artemis right now.

I got Desire v5 running very nicely here. My setup:

ROM: Artemis v25 WWE

HSPL: 2.08

Radio: 2.12.50.02_2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zkid2010:
I second that. I'm running exactly what's in my sig and I have zero problems running the v5 Desire build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Ahh that will be my problem then, Only just got teh HD2 a couple of days ago second hand (mint condition though) and forgot to update radio, currently has 2.06.

Will update now and hopefully get something booted, will post back thanks for help.

hi i had another thread about this

basicly ive upgraded this unit and now have no gsm ive downloaded the software that i was advised but nothing works says files are corrupt or damaged , sometimes the link doesnt work . i need the factory rom for the orange spv m2000 i think can anybody help me pls

thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
since it seems to be the old problem, there was no need to open a new thread, you could have bumped the old one.

also, the answer is still the same. you can find shipped roms at http://xplode.tk

the fact that the wm2003 rom, offered in my tut thread, is corrupt, is aready known. i will fix that some time.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gripperwod:

i have downloaded the roms from this site for orange uk and get corrupt message i will take screen shot and show you. asap

thx for getting back to me

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gripperwod:
this is the rom from http://xplode.tk for orange spv m2000 tried the mirror site and get the same message.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
you cannot just download and double click it, i thought that was self explanatory. you need to right click the exe and extract it, in it you will find the ruu and the roms, then you take a custom ruu, like the Chef_Tony RUU from my signature and use that to flash.

also, since you are using windows 7 to flash the device, you need to install another driver and deactivate usb connections in wmdc. use d-two's tutorial on windows 7 flashing here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5456317&postcount=6

or simply use a windows xp computer and follow the tutorial in my signature.

ts ts, just doubleclicking the exe, if it was that easy, there would be no need for a 30 step tutorial :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gripperwod:
i had extracted the files to a folder .. anyways ive got more picks to show this error . after doing what was said .
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gripperwod:
done everything the pdf asked with success yet i still cant extract my orange rom as pictures above show.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
you didn't do everything from the instructions, you are still using BAupgradeut.exe.

you were supposed to use MAupgradeut_noID.exe.

also, i don't see the TEST MODE watermark on your desktop, which can mean several things:

1. you use windows 7 32 bit and everything went fine

2. you use windows 7 64 bit and removed the watermark already, also fine

3. something went wrong during the installation or you skipped a step.

you should straighten these 2 things out before attempting to continue.

also you should put the device into bootloader mode before flashing, charge the battery to 100% and remove both the sim and sd card, just a general advice, i don't know, if you already did that.

the problem, the ruu gives you, however, is not solvable with any of the tips given above. the extrom from the rom you downloaded, seems to be corrupt. the extrom is the file called ms_.nbf and contains carrier-related cab files like a custom wallpaper, dialer skin and other useless stuff. here are some ways to get rid of that problem:

1. resize the partitions using mtty and flash without the extrom:

1.1 with a full battery and without sim and sd card, put the device into bootloader mode

1.2 disable usb connections in the wmdc

1.3 start mtty (look it up in the wiki or through google)

1.4 select wceusb or usb, 115200-8-1-N-N-N, press ok

1.5 hit enter, so it shows USB>

1.6 type task 28aa

now, the partitions are back to factory defaults, close mtty and disconnect the device, still in bootloader mode

1.7 delete the ms_.nbf or move it to another folder

1.8 in bootloader mode, start the ruu and flash the rom and the radio rom.

method 2 is easier:

2. crc errors appear during corrupt downloads, maybe your connection speed fluctuated, maybe you use a wi-fi connection which swallowed a bit or two, or the file was actually corrupt to begin with, try another mirror, or maybe even another rom, there are many different english wm2003 roms at xplode's archive, your carrier is not important.

2.1 flash it using maupgrade, bootloader mode, without cards...

27. Disable Auto Screen Lock

If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.

Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Unfortunately this doesnt work for me. (5 minutes max)

It seems after i configured outlook to connect with our exchange 2007 server. My phone seems to lock itself after 5 minutes. I have to unlock first followed by entering my 4 digit password. :mad:

I am unable to disable this lock from within my phone as the checkbox is enabled and grayed out. Tried to use the latest S2U2 v2.43. Had the replace wm6.5 lock enabled. And ofcourse now had 2 locks and a password to deal with :confused:

Tried tweak 27, but still it gets locked after 5 minutes. :eek:

No luck, anyone ?

Its driving me and my co-workers mad.

[Vibrant General] techcraver:
Hey Guys,

(originally posted on another thread - was requested to ask it here.)

I'm on the fence about buying a Vibrant and I'd love some perspective from you guys, the dev community.

I saw the Vibrant, love the screen and overall performance...however, I'm concerned about the future (6-9) months out.

The device is supposed to get Froyo..but what about Gingerbread?

How is the dev-ability of this device? Might there be a custom ROM to 1) have Froyo before Samsung 'blesses us' with it...what about Gingerbread?

Thanks guys - I'm new to this scene and appreciate your perspective.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
well, its Android so there is no guaruntee's. Who would have ever expected the

Hero to get 2.1, but it did. More than likely it will get Gingerbread...eventually. However Samsung is already in my line of fire after that Behold 2 no upgrade BS.:mad:
[Vibrant General] techcraver:
exactly - the Behold II debacle is kinda freakin' me out. however, the Galaxy S series will have a huge footprint of users to satisfy - i'm hoping this means it will be ok going forward with future Android releases.
[Vibrant General] iceman1251:
During the announcement of the galaxy s series of phones, samsung promised updates like froyo. So hopefully they keep their word.
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
I learned from the Cliq to never buy a phone based on the promise of future upgrades (Motorola is STILL running Android 1.5 on a lot of their newer phones). I have decided that I will buy the best phone available when I am in the market and if it's updated I will count it as a bonus.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
For someone just moving to the UK is it possible to buy a phone on contract?

Apparently some sites say you need a 3 year address proof before you can sign a contract? Is it not possible for some one who has just moved to the UK to work to get a phone on contract? Really want the Desire :(
[Desire General] ephumuris:
There must be a way to as a lot of people come over to work. Surely they don't wait three years!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
The way contracts work over here is you will need proof of identity and a utility bill with your current UK address.

If you lived within europe for the last three years then I beleieve you will be ok however if not then you should still be able to get a contract but they wont provide you with a phone for a certain amount of time.

My GF when we went to take her out a contract at the age of 18 because she had no credit history they would give her a contract but no phone even though she had been here 18 years! So in the end did it in my name.

Best bet is to phone up and ask around te providers see what they say. You might even have better luck doing a contract in store (will need photo proof)

Good luck getting the Desire though it seems this country is sold out of it :-P I spent the whole day trying to source one (signed my contract over a week ago and T-mobile told me today they have no idea when they will be able to get one)

Stores all around my county had waiting lists of 20+ and refused to put me down as their lists where to big. After alot of searching (and arguing with T-Mobile because they wouldnt order from two places that had stock) I finally managed to get mine and went and picked it up this afternoon (after they conned me to paying another £30 for the phone!)

Good Luck
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Can't you even get one SIM-Free? If you can afford it, obviously
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Dam they made you pay a lot!

And thanks a lot :)
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Sim Free would be quite expensive sadly for now.

This person who would be moving there would be working with a law firm and they would provide proof of employment and with his Annual salary and contract length specified and plus he would have enough money in his account so he should pass the credit check right?
[Desire General] sup330:
I just moved from South Africa to the UK... three weeks ago. Walked into O2 last week and walked out with a Desire on contract. No problem. All u need is a bank account and debit card.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Thanks a lot mate. Just PM'ing you now.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
What all did they need? They din't check your 3 years address proof? And as for credit check what did they see?
[Desire General] Wingzer:
What you may want to look into mate is buying a PAYG HTC Desire i got my O2 one for £330 then get a simplicty sim.

From O2 at the moment I think they do 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet and your not tied to the contract its like rolling every 30 days. You ring them and cancel when you want to.

Won't let me post links yet but go to O2 then tariffs and Sim only Simplicty.

Also the website doesn't show the desire on PAYG but it is available in the shops.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Hmm but buying it for 330 is rather expensive right now. He'd rather take it up on contract. Thanks though :)
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
You may be able to do a full contract it all depends on what they decide its their discression. I just didn't have to provide 3 year proof of address nor did my finacee but because she had just turned 18 and didn't have a credit history like I said they told her she would have to be on contract for 6 months before they gave her a phone so I did it in my name for her.
[Desire General] zonkkk:
I bought my first phone on a contract in the UK 1 week after I got here.

I bought it online, and I didn't have to provide anything... and when they asked on the form online for how long I have been living at the address I was renting, I said more than 12 months (as instructed by one of the indian online chat asistants :-)) ).

Actually I signed up to a £15/month contract for the phone (and got a free Nokia 6500slide) and also a 50% discounted £7.5 mobile broadband contract, so 2 separate contracts.

They called me the next day and said my credit checks are OK for the broadband contract but for the phone I had to pay a £75 guarantee which I will get back after the first 6 months of the contract... payed over the phone, everything came the next day, and that was it... (this happened in September 2008)

It was with Three.co.uk - but I won't recommend them because their coverage sucks if you come in the South-West around Swindon... The London area, Birmingham area are ok though... didn't use their network anywhere else in the UK...
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Oh. Thanks a lot :D

Hmm he can lie about living for more than 12 months I guess.

Will this work with other places like mobiles.co.uk? And what if he goes to a Carphone Warehouse shop.

From what I've read at various places the address should be not much of an issue. So hopefully he can get his phone.

If he does take the phone in the name of a relative then can he do something so that he's paying out of his own account?
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
You can't lie about how long you have been living at a certain place because they are likley to run a check and it is illegal.

And no generally the money has to be taken out of the account with the same name as the contract or a joint account with that persons name on it.

Try going directly for a contract in his own name with phone they may give it to him.
[Desire General] Afro Az:
I got my Desire two weeks after my 18th birthday. No credit check required as far as I know. I did order online though. I haven't missed a payment yet XD. So I guess my credit score should be going through the roof!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Just because you haven't missed a payment on one contract doesn't make you credit rating go through the roof sadly. its also based on sex / age / location (if the rest of your street have bad credit ratings then that makes your bad as well)

Very unfair if you ask me....

And they would of performed a check if they are providing a phone on contract but they don't always tell you - not sure if they tell you when ordering online as I have never done that - but they still will do the check.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Yeah that is what we want. He'll have all his address proof,employment proof and a ready bank account so hopefully he won't have any problem with it.

Is Vodafone's service good?
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Vodafone are ok. We have them here at our company with about 100 mobiles and they are known for being the best coverage in the UK but in all honesty I would say my T-Mobile phone has better coverage then the Vodafone's we have here at work but they aren't bad.

Had a couple of problems with Customer Service in the last 4 months but they got resovled in a okish amount of time.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Hmm

That 30 pounds a month plan with the Booster seems decent.

Would I be able to get it at the Carphone Warehouse store though? Going online would take time and he needs to get his phone within 2 weeks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanHobden:
I'm just curious...

but you know the HTC Hero stock 2.1 ROM? What is the default kernel speed for that?

I know most custom ROM's come with a kernel at different speeds so I was just wondering what the 2.1 rom came with!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I found this in an official HTC config file :

CONFIG_PERFLOCK_SCREEN_ON_MIN=480000

CONFIG_PERFLOCK_SCREEN_ON_MAX=528000

CONFIG_PERFLOCK_SCREEN_OFF_MIN=245760

CONFIG_PERFLOCK_SCREEN_OFF_MAX=245760

Which means 245 MHz while screen is off, and 480-528 MHz when the screen is on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Are you sure that's official? I was unaware that the official rom's downclocked at all.
[Streak 5 General] DailyApper:
I currently have had the captivate galaxy s phone for a few days.

I originally wanted the streak but it has taken too long to come to the us.

Anyone have any input on which device will be updated first to 2.2 and eventually 3.0?

Is the hummingbird processor significantly noticeable compared to the snapdragon with normal use?

Is the camera quality equivilant to the captivate? Minus the 720p video. How does the streak shoot video also?

Opinions are golden. I am contemplating returning the captivate if the streak hits here in the 30 day return window.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] spacecat:
You Prematurelyphoneulated

should have held off
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
I have to say the Streak but i would say that as i have one and would not swap it for any device on the market :)
[Streak 5 General] MFister:
They're completely different devices, of course, comparing apples to oranges.
[Streak 5 General] DailyApper:
They are very similar. One had an enormously larger screen. That's it.

Both haver very similar internals. Both run on the same operating system.

They are both considered cell phones one way or another.
[Streak 5 General] DailyApper:
Why?

And do you have experience or knowledge of the captivate as well?
[Streak 5 General] DailyApper:
no other input on this comparison?

If the streak comes here in the US with 2.2 then things would be even more similar as far as power goes.

Froyo makes some big enhancements.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
There are lots of posts around here saying how good the streak is have you read all them, To me i wanted a tablet but not as big as the icrap so this was an ideal size for me and the bonus is you can make calls as i was not looking for that i know it has only 1.5 on board but when 2.2 is on this baby it will take some beating.

I have not come across anything as yet that i have been disappointed with :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] faquedado:
So let me start by saying I have been researching these forums for the last 8 hours trying to following instructions on getting my phone to connect to my computer and with no luck, hoping someone out there can please help me step by step in correcting my problem.

1)I flashed DC's Rom, then flashed the most current radio, then flashed the most current Wimax.

2)I noticed that when I connect my phone to the computer, it says device is not recognizable. The phone charges but does cannot be seen by the computer as a disk drive (I'm trying to RUU to stock but the comp. will not see my phone and I've already tried running RUU but it also is having probs seeing the phone).

3)I've read Calculin's instructions in fixing the SD Card and USB as close as possible but also no luck. I've downloaded Android-SDK Tools and ran CMD with the Instructions saying type in "fastboot oem boot", from there, thats where I get stuck, it just says "waiting on device". Not sure where I go from there, I'm in Reboot mode where it has Fastboot on my evo screen.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm just so frustrated and I'm trying to get back to square one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
Unplug your phone and restart it, then plug it back in. I had to do this 3 times before it started working again. Other than that, you might just need to download the new drivers.

And you posted in the wrong section.
[EVO 4G Android Development] faquedado:
Sorry about posting in the wrong section, what drivers should I install, are you talking about the new HTC Sync Files or something else? Can you point in the direction to get these files?
[EVO 4G Android Development] faquedado:
okay, I think I'm getting close, I have a box thats popping up now thats trying to located the Device Driver the phone. It says "Failed" next to the line "MY HTC" Where can I download the necessary drivers for this phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kperry1911:
You should be able to get the proper drivers from either Sprint or HTC's web site. There are links on both sites. Also, when you install / reinstall the sync drivers make sure anti-virus is disabled. If the situation continues and you've tried everything else other folks suggested look at program permissions in your anti-virus program. I was having something similar and CA anti-virus was not letting the program start-up. I had to toggle it to "allow".

Good Luck.
[Vibrant General] lpaddikt:
I just bought a Vibrant but people complain that they are having a hard time hearing me with my bluetooth, but I can hear them perfectly on my end. I have the bluetooth volume all the way up and it has been with two different bluetooth earpieces. I have used the Plantronics 232 and 510. Is anyone else having this problem? On my nexus one, both bluetooths work perfectly.
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
I am using the Jawbone Icon and the volume is fine so maybe it's just that particular brand of headset. See if a buddy will let you borrow a non-Plantronics headset for testing and see if it works.
