[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mini_robot:
yes. im dumb. it was a .51 radio. doesnt turn on. i did it to my own phone so many times and it just became repetitive when i was flashing his phone that i didnt even stop to think that it was a TMobile model. and yes the power button + volume button is not working since MY PHONE (originally his phone since i have to give him my phone now) doesnt have power.

so my best bet right now is to return it to tmobile and not HTC correct?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sea_man:
The only way to unbrick your phone is whit a jtag interface , ( http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/htc-hd2-repair-guide , http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f47...z-jtag-pinouts-htc-topaz-repair-file-1047977/ ) but maybe this kind of tools are illegal in some countries.

Check Copper battery contacts

Hey mate, I had the same issue you did. I took the battery out often during my flashing and once it stopped responding ie. not charging not turning on etc.

I checked where the battery sat and found one of the copper contacts (I think there are 3 spring-like ones) was stuck inwards and therefor not offering or receiving power.

Give that a shot buddy. good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ducter:
Sucks, but at least you swapped phones with him. If the phones under warranty give T-Mobile a call, tell them it wont turn on...but you might want to have your buddy handle it (he is the original owner I hope?) since the phone should be on his account.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shizzyraw585:
Quick side note, I don't necessarily agree that you owe this guy a phone. If you flashed it as a favor, then I think that all risks associated with the flash were his just as if he flashed it himself. There is an implied risk even when flashing the correct ROM/Radio etc, and if he didn't want to take the time to learn how to do it himself, you shouldn't be held 100% liable. If he is a good friend, then it would be a nice gesture to go in with him on a craigslist replacement (I too got mine for $225).

Now if he paid you for the service, then yeah, you owe him a phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RenZ0R:
I did the same thing, phone went into a boot loop, and I thought Id bricked it, copper contact was slightly bent and causing it, make sure the copper contacts are pointing straight up in the battery compartment, it could save ya a warranty return :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
I completely agree, unless he's a n00b and you didn't explain that there were any potential dangers.

Just as another side note, if I'm doing anything for a friend that involves firmware flashing of any kind whatsoever, just say.

"Look I'm happy to do this, however there is always a risk involved in that your phone might die! It's rare, but are you happy for me to proceed?"

Always gets me out of potentially tricky situations! Stick those caveats in before it's too late :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] somebully:
In my opinion you owe him a phone unless you told him about the risk and asked if he was willing to try it.. I would still feel sick to my stomach over him buying a new phone himself.. Another point is that the "risk" didn't damage the phone, your obliviousness did..

It sucks, but I would try to get him a used phone and pay the cost.. and accepted it if he offered to pay parts of it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
Hey bud bad situation but like the other guys are saying just return it to tmobile, but you are definitely going to have your friend do it since he was the original owner and they will match the IMEI #. So I would say give the phone back to him, let him keep yours for now if you really want to as 'good will' (even though they will see that he's still using an HD2 on their system and might get suspicious, so might want to tell him to use something else for a few days), and have him call and say it just stopped working. They will replace it. Worst case scenario they charge you the $150 premium, but it's still cheaper then getting one from craigslist or something. Trust me, it's your best bet, but have your friend handle it!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bandolero584:
I have the same problem and my recomendation is call HTC directly. They have great customer support. Tell them that you are in the middle of an upgrade and the power goes down damaging your cell phone. They fix mine and didnt have to pay a cent and better no questions asked and returned within 2 weeks .Stop trying other metods believe me this is the best and secure way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kb0n:
You could still buy/borrow a volt-/ampere-meter and check if (i) the battery has power, (ii) if your charger actually charges and (iii) if the 3 contacts on your phone work when it's connected to the charger.

Sometimes it's just a simple thing that's broken (i.e. micro-usb cable)...

--edit--

you could also check (i) and (ii) by simply using the battery and charger+cable on a working HD2 (like the one you gave away).

im in nyc currently running OMJ 2.2 v3.0 rom with Stock kernel. But my issue has been happening since before I rooted my evo. The problem is I cant receive MMS during wifi is switched on then have to switch wifi off and wait about 20 minutes in order for the mms to download so I can view it. I called tier1 and 2 and tier 1 just made me factory reset my phone or clear cache on the mms app in settings which fixes it for about 2 minutes before I turn wifi on again. Tier 2 told me that theres no way I can receive and send mms while wifi is on so there goes my issue...I never had this issue with my apache, mogul, diamond, tp, tp2, BB bold.

The error msg I get is a transient error failure...please can anyone test their device and turn wifi on and try to receive and send MMS and let me know if its successful so I can send this to sprint b/c its totally oblivious I have to turn wifi off and wait 20 minutes and then have my mms download w/o errors.

Thanks in advance

[Captivate General] bird333:
I have a router that is running a 3rd party software (dd-wrt). I have a 'main' ap and a 'virtual' ap. When I try to switch between the two networks I can't connect. The passwords are correct but the phone keeps popping up asking for the correct password. The only way I seem to be able to connect is to reboot the router AND turn the phone off and back on. Once the phone connects, it seems to connect to the same network fine if I turn the phone off/on. However, if I try to switch to the other network, I have the same problems. Can anyone provide some insight here?
[HTC Aria General] DavidM17:
Just started playing with my Aria a few days ago. Thanks to some cool posts here I was able to root and change my boot animation easily. I've also been able to change the sound that plays with the boot animation. There seemed to be some question as to how to do this so thought I'd post how I did it.

I didn't invent anything new. Just followed the "How to Add Audio to Your Boot Animation" down at the end of this post: androidforums.com/incredible-tips-tricks/93514-htc-incredible-boot-animation-guide.html

The bootanimation.zip file I was using did not have android as one of the directory names. I unzipped the file and changed the first directory name to android. Then used jEdit to edit the desc.txt file to change the directory name in it. Pushed the new bootanimation.zip to /data/local and, voila, I now have sound.

Both my bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 are in the /data/local directory.

One other quick thing I noticed. A lot of the posts I've seen use this syntax to remount the /system file system: "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system". On the HTC the device for /system seems to be /dev/block/mtdblock3. Using mtdblock4 in the command seems to work, but I wonder if you could get inconsistent results.

Hope this helps someone.

David

works but also I had to have both files in sdcard/media/ aswell
[HTC Aria General] lwcutter:
yeah, i know, major bump, but did all this, and instructions in linked thread by OP, still no sound. followed ALL directions, MANY times, no go. tried adb pushing, using root explorer, and any other thing you can think of, still no sound.

Sent from my HTC Aria running CM 6.0.2.1
[HTC Aria General] zeyoner:
Which ROM are you guys running because this is not working for me at all. I've been trying to get audio to work and it just doesn't. I'm running CM6.0.2.1.

Here is what I've done so far.

I made the changes to the desc.txt file by renaming "p 1 0 part0" to "p 1 0 android". I then also renamed the part0 folder to android. Created a zip file of all three (desc.txt, part0, part1) without compressing.

I then set the phone to debugging and pushed both the bootanimation.zip/android_audio.mp3 to /data/local and to /sdcard/media. I reboot and nothing. The bootanimation works but still no darn sound!
[HTC Aria General] zeyoner:
Has anyone else have any luck with getting custom boot sound ? I really think it has to do with which ROM you're running.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdevico:
Sorry for the poor title, but I think I am in a strange place. I was upgrading the radio from the standard factory version to version 2.15, and I watched the phone go through all the updating motions (including adding a nice new splash screen) but the "about phone" still states version 1.x

To make it stranger, I now have a mobile hotspot widget and a part in my wifi settings to enable wireless router (if I click it however, it only states "error")

I have not yet updated to the skyraider rom (which was the goal), so all that has been attempted is the radio update.

Is it possible that the radio update was successful? If not, what would be my best course of action to move forward in a rom change?

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Have you ran unrevoked forever to enable s-off?

2.15.x radio requires it to work.

Be careful though updating radio twice WILL brick.

I say install a rom such as sky raider and if its still not showing the right version try again.

I didn't think that radio alone added a new boot animation that should be rom based are you sure you installed the right thing?
