I am totally new to the HTC HD2 phone (just got it yesterday) and I've read how to personalize your ringtone, but when I connect my phone to my computer (PC and Mac) and I open up "My Documents" the only folder inside it is "My POI" folder.

Hi all,

I have a European version of HD2 that came with ROM version 1.48xxxxxx. On startup it showed the O2 logo. It was NOT SIM-LOCKED. I updated the ROM to newer version that is, 1.66.405.2 (WWE) by using the HSPL3 method, but this newer ROM has Copilot live 8 built-in which cannot be removed completely, and thus wasting a lot of internal memory. Since I live in Pakistan, wouldn't it be wise to FLASH the South East Asia version of ROM that is 1.66.707.1 (WWE) on my HD2? Will it be safe? Although I have flashed my device ONCE.. (when updating to 1.66.405.2, I am a bit scared to do it again. Please Help!!!

Thanks in anticipation
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosh10:
as long as you have hspl2 or hspl3 installed,you shouldn't worry too much, all you should do now is look for a ROM that you like and install, i would recommend Artemis Rom as they are a safe bet, nothing too flash if you know what i mean, then all you need is a radio that works best for your location, this you'll have to experiment with. good luck:D

[Legend General] grandioso:
Hi guys

I'm new to the Android business and I have a few questions, which I will be very happy if you answered.

1. What the heck is a gold card ? I mean, I know it's a modified memcard that I need for rooting phones, but why do I need it ? Why is it not possible to root a phone without it ? Can I use the goldcard as a usual memcard, or do I have to have separate one ?

2. Are there any tutorials for rooting under linux ? I have dualboot, but I don't like windoze, so it would be nice to be able to do it under Ubuntu.

3. Is it possible to restore the original ROM after flashing it ? From what I understand, I suppose I could download the files (maybe from the official HTC site) and install it just like any other ROM. Am I right ?

4. Are there any problems with flashing I should be aware of (IDK, camera not working, microphone problems, graphic artefacts, whatever) ? Can I kill my phone if I do something wrong ?

5. A highly hypothetical question : is it possible to install any other mobile OS after rooting ? Not that I wanna do it, I just wanna know. If not, why ?

6. Is it possible to change boot animations, icons, etc in a ROM that I downloaded ?

I'm thinking about flashing the ROM, because I have problem with 3G / only the browser seems to work with the connection. All the other apps report "No connection".

Any advice would be much appreciated.
[Legend General] grandioso:
Most important :

Can I use the goldcard as a usual memcard, or do I have to have separate one ?

Is it possible to restore the original ROM after flashing it ?

Can I kill my phone if I do something wrong ?

C'mon guys, please..
[Legend General] AllWin:
1. I won't be able to explain how it works exactly, but it seems like it gives higher access level, which is needed for rooting your phone. You can use almost any (some of them doesn't work) MicroSD card and after rooting you phone you'll be able to format it and use as a memory card again.

2. http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-r4-htc-legend-rooting-guide-now-with-1-31-x/ (works on Linux, tested personaly).

3. Yes, later you can flash one of official ROM's. You can download them from here.

4. It depends on the ROM you're going to use. Some of them are damn stable and some not. Read comments before using it. Flash ROM's by using ROM Manager (it's on the Market), it's absolutely fail proof.

Just:

* don't forget to do FULL wipe before flashing ROM.

* read how-to's and (or) chef's notes carefully BEFORE you start.

5. I don't think so as there are no drivers for the other operating systems. Could be some other reasons is well, i don't know.

6. Yes, read those threads.
[Legend General] grandioso:
Thanks very much, dude !

I think I'll try out the most popular one - CyanogenMod. Hope that's stable and it's Froyo-based. Is it ?

btw I can't use the market, that's the main reason I wanna flash. I just can't connect to my gmail account, thus being unable to install new apps. On 3G none of the apps can connect to the internet, on wifi they connect, except the goddamn market.

Thanks again, much love !
[Legend General] grandioso:
btw I hear that you don't need the gold card to root the phone if it's not branded (therefore I don't need one to flash the ROM). Is that right ? My phone's not branded...
[Legend General] AllWin:
My phone wasn't branded too, but i couldn't root without the goldcard.
[Legend General] grandioso:
If I backup the data that I currently have on my memcard, can I restore it on any ROM I install ? I just need the facebook-linked contacts, I really don't have anything else as I can't install apps.

One more question - after flashing, is there a way to install apps without the market ? I know, if I had "astro file manager", I could, but now I can't even install astro. Maybe a similar (if not the same) file manager could be included in the ROM ?
[Legend General] AllWin:
You don't have to backup SD card before flashing ROM as you won't lose any pictures, music, videos or any other files THAT ARE on SD card (unless YOU will format it). If you want to backup some applications data/settings - try to use My Backup app.

You can install apps by using ADB if you don't have Market app installed. Also you can use any file manager if your app setup files (APKs) are on the SD card.

And a little advise - use Nandroid backup and then you can do whatever you want. If the things goes wrong way - use Nandroid restore ;) Just do NOT format your SD card without copying files on your PC first.
[Legend General] grandioso:
I created a GoldCard using this guide. How do I know if it's a working goldcard before I root my phone ? I didn't even format the card (I forgot to, because it wasn't mentioned in the guide).

[Legend General] grandioso:
What app do you use to backup before wiping ?

I install my apps to the SDcard, so they should work after wiping, but I also need my old settings, phone book and stuff.
[Legend General] Lucas0511:
Titanium Backup does a fine backup "app-centric", so you can restore all your apps regardless of their location, including their settings, scores and market location. I would not recommend aiming for a backup of system settings, since you might compromise the function of your new ROM with old system settings. If you just want to do a test with a new ROM, and want to go back to your initial ROM, use Nandroid backup that is part of your rooted Recovery menu - it does a 1:1 backup of your entire ROM. For phone book etc. do a PC sync or use Google Apps. For SMS backup there are a number of free apps that back your SMS up to Gmail, under a SMS label, or to your SD, as an XML file.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armyjon88:
I was wondering if you could mount the phones sdcard the same way you mounted the ubuntu.img file so it could be used within the ubuntu environment on the phone I since running the phone a mobile pc with all the functionality as a home computer with the ability to right the the sdcard as if you would the hard drive.

I tried

Mount -t vfat /mnt/sdcard /data/local/mnt/sdcard

Mount -t ext2 /mnt/sdcard /data/local/mnt/sdcard

And

Mount -o noatime -t vfat /mnt/sdcard /data/local/mnt/sdcard

Also

Mount -o remount,rw -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:1 /data/local/mnt/sdcard

After creating a /sdcard directory within /data/local/mnt using a second instance of terminal emulator (using two seperate terminal emulator apps) one running the ubuntu environment and the other with root permissions of the device itself.

All options resulted in error "Block Device Required"

Anyone think this could work if so what am I missing.

Thank you
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
I think you're making things harder than they need to be. Ubuntu automounts USB media by default.

When you plug your phone into the computer, it should pop up a message in the notification pulldown on the phone where you can turn on USB mass storage. The stock ROM for the Slide even has the option to turn USB mass storage on automatically, as well, when it's plugged in.

Also, pluggable media is mounted in a folder under /media on Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't use /mnt as a rule. My sdcard's volume name is "Espresso" (that's what I named it when I formatted it.) When I plug it in, its contents are available under /media/Espresso.

If your file manager (Nautilus) doesn't pop open a window when you plug the phone in, make sure USB storage is on on the phone, and check the Nautilus sidebar to see if it actually mounted it.

If it doesn't auto-mount, find out which device node your card was assigned by Ubuntu. Ubuntu assigns hard drives as /dev/sda for the first drive on your system (with /dev/sda1 being the first partition on the drive), /dev/sdb, etc. Since I have a multi-card reader taking up a few nodes, my Slide's sdcard came up as /dev/sdg. To manually mount it, you'd type:

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdg1 /mnt

That would make everything available under /mnt. I notice you have both a fat and an ext partition. That command up there is assuming your fat partition is the first on the sdcard. If it's ext, just remove "-t vfat". To unmount it after use, make sure no file managers are in /mnt (and no terminal is cd'd to /mnt) and type

sudo umount /mnt

I've never had a problem with Ubuntu NOT automounting partitions on three different Android phones' sdcards. Ubuntu is made so you don't have to do all that bs above. But if you can't get automounting to work, create two folders in /media and alter your mount commands to point to them. You could even get creative and write scripts to mount and unmount them.

Example script:

#!/bin/bash
mount /dev/sdg1 /media/slide-ext
mount -t vfat /dev/sdg2 /media/slide-fat

To mount the phones sdcard in the ubuntu virtual machine run is a seperate window (I used two different terminal emulators) run:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:

Then, just adb push it to the system/app/ folder on your phone.

Way easy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ProFragger:
Thanks TJ,

I guess my question, if I were to elaborate more, would have been, exactly what files would I need to restore the clock back?

As in, the HTC Clock apk gonna be enough for me to get the old clock back, as in its appearance?

I am a novice to the Android world, but I would imagine the apk itself might not do much to appearance, but more just the functionality and the logic of the widget.

You are of course more knowledgeable, so can you confirm the files I would need to restore?

Thank you again for your help!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Yea, if you just push the HtcClockWidget.apk to the folder, it'll show up in your widget selection again.

However, the look of it is going to depend on your theme, and how the images in the com.htc.resources.apk are edited, because it has a lot of image files that the htc widgets pull from.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
Considering I got burned for ~500 dollars, I thought I would issue a warning to people considering the same thing I did.

I would say people are considerably more at risk of getting burnt from grey market sources that have limited consumer protection with the Streak than one would at first expect.. I bought one from Craigslist, and the Streak I received basically can't do anything for more than ten minutes without overheating. The best I was able to do was convince the seller to give me a partial refund, in this case a measly 100 dollars.

The largest issue here is that Dell won't touch beta units, not even if you pay them (also, I have heard they're more prone to manufacturing defects than production units). This means there's a much larger percentage of beta owners that have a defect that can't be fixed, which would translate to a larger number of people trying to hawk them for money in markets that rely on trust to keep transactions clean.

As for me, I'm going to have another go, but this time I am going to pay the extra money I should have paid and will buy a UK production unit that has a warranty. I found a nice reseller that automatically takes off the VAT for non-uk buyers.

Good luck guys.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Not much consolation but at least you have a source of spares in case you break something on your new streak. That or you could dismantle your beta and sell the parts on eBay, you would have no trouble selling the screen and body shell.
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
Aww I did like you and bought myself a "NON BOOTABLE as-is" Beta Dell Streak, thinking I wasted $275 but turns out it only needed a hard reset. So far I have not noticed any issues/defects along the way. sorry to hear your story but it makes me feel good now we have at least spare parts for dell streak :D

P.S. I saw a screen on ebay going for $150.
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
Yep, I have a US Beta Streak with no problems at all. I've had it about 4-5 weeks now. I'm sure there are defective units out there, but I'm willing to bet the small percentage of people with problems are the vocal ones.
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
The point I was making was, though there may only be a small percentage of defective units, the fact it is impossible for them to be serviced or replaced by Dell increases the risk people face when buying from sources where people can get away with selling bunk hardware.

You mentioned a vocal mintority, what about the nonvocal minority who head right back to CL to make back their loss?

[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
Try the white paint you just have to get two-three different types of sandpapers and then a white spraypaint/clear glossy . It is not as shinny as the OEM ones we have (where you can see your face in it) you just have to remember to lightly sand the device after the last paint application to keep a smooth non paint surface.
