[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Hi,

may I ask you why you decided to go back to stock? Unhappy with modded roms or simply bored with them? Was it worth it? I am considering playing a little too, but I can't say that I'm not happy the way it is!

Thanks & ciao

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
I had alot of fun, and the ROMs that the devs here have worked on are utterly fantastic without question. especially LeeDroid and Pays Rom. Both very good, but really it's A2SD that I can't be dealing with. Other than that Id like to be able to update the GApps. I guess the more things change you want them back to normal
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
Thanks however I don't really see much that answers my question, I want to go back to stock completely, no clockwork and no root.

Can I do this by plugging in my Goldcard and running an official RUU on my PC?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Yes, and the link is in there as I said.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Thanks for you reply toyface!

However, what do you mean by GApps? Google Apps?

I'm sure I'll root my phone, but 1st I want to have the way back safe in some folders on my pc. I know it should not be too difficult to find the stock rom (plus my phone is unbranded, so no need for goldcard or anything), but, so far, I haven't been able to understand which one is the right one for my phone among the many that one can find on this website.

I guess I need to post this question too!

Thanks again TF

Luca
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyface:
You're right the link is in there, sorry, it's been a long day, great FAQ btw thank you very much!

Yeah, the google apps as in GMail and the rest of the family. I really like the custom ROMs that the devs here have cooked up, I feel the best is LeeDroid, but if you were going for your first go around ROM wise I'd wait a little bit, there working on getting the Desire HD ROM ported properly, and when that happens, the ROMs will be even better!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Thanks for the advice TF!

I'll pretend I understood exactly what you mean by porting the Desire HD ROM!

However, one other thing that keeps me from rooting now is that I may want to upgrade to the HD and so willl need to get back to stock in order to trade in my phone to the dealer.

Furthermore, I hope we'll see Gingerbread soon and that may be the time to root and flash a cooked rom with android 3 since, as usual, HTC will get there much later than google release it.

One last question, if you can spare some more time: One of the feature I'm after, as stupid as this may sound, is waking up the phone using the trackball. Is it true that this a feature available right after rooting even without flashing any rom. It sound strange to me but I read it somewhere here and nobody denied it, so I guess it could be true.

Ciao TF and good night

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bschucher:
Hope this is right place to ask. When installing custom roms.. can I also install custom kernels from other people to go with those roms? Example being that i rooted and installed Fresh 3.3 with stock HTC kernel. Can i install netarchy kernel on top of Fresh rom? Thanks for any help and bearing with my noob questions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Yes. You can install a custom kernel from a person besides the ROM author after you install a ROM. Netarchy's kernel is fantastic. Nice choice. Just make sure you download and install the Fresh compatible kernel and you'll be all set.

[Vibrant Accessories] sunnylicious:
ok so I managed to crack the screen..nice big shatter mark under the screen and now the entire screen went black...insurance is a pain and from what I understand getting Asurion to replace my vibrant will be $130 and buying an AMOLED screen itself is cheaper.

The rest of the phone is still in working condition as before my screen went totally black after it broke some of it was still functional.

Any idea on where I can get the screen? I have not had luck on ebay as of yet, and was hoping someone here could recco a reputable vendor...

Have you had any luck with this?I own an Orange San Francisco and cracked the amoled,unfortunately orange or any other site/company offers any repair AFAIK. I'm looking into repairing it myself, are amoled connectors compatible from one phone to another or are they manufacturer specific if you are aware of? I know this is a long shot but it doesn't hurt asking.:p

it would most likely have to be the same part

because the Galaxy S series are the only ones with that size AMOLED screen.

[Vibrant Accessories] thenotoriouspie:
been there done that

i got a vibrant off of something awful for pretty cheap with a broken screen

first off you literally have to pry the screen off of the phone

and the bottom four buttons? there is a very thin ribbon cable that is glued to the screen

there are a few things youll need

1.really small screw driver (i got a glasses repair kit from the dollar store. worked great)

2.something to pry the screen off (used a screw driver from said kit)

3.balls. that ribbon cable is very very easy to break

first off you have to take apart the phone completely

i would even take off the one board that the screen connects to

then you need to pry off the screen very carefully

if your amold or whatever part is broken you're going to have to peel it off

it really sucks and makes you look like a bad 70s disco

after that it gets pretty simple

make sure you have something to hold the top and bottom part to the phone

mine isnt flush due to me being a jackass and not getting the right glue stuff to hold it down

after that it should work perfect like before

if anyone wants to trade me a new screen for the i9000 screen or buy me a screen (lol) i would make a very detailed video (not happy with the way the first attempt turned out)

post itt or pm me if you have any questions
[Vibrant Accessories] Chrishas:
So you are saying it should work,but what about the software part,won't there be any problems?

Mine suffered the same fate today...

WTF - are these just incredibly fragile or what?!
[Vibrant Accessories] Alien1099:
Last time I looked, almost any smart phone that is dropped face down or at a bad angle from 5-6 feet up (ear eight) is prone to cracking its display, which is probably what happened to most of the people that have broken their displays.

It's like asking if a car is fragile or what because the front is crumpled after it was involved in a 40MPH+ collision.
[Vibrant Accessories] woodshampoo:
Before you assume...

That I dropped it from 5-6 feet, you might want to ask. I had a case, and screen protector and dropped it from MAYBE about 2 feet. It was in my shirt pocket, I leaned down to tie my shoe and it slid out, hit the end of the grass and on the sidewalk.

Line on a 45 degree and BAM no more workie! Hardest part is finding a new screen. $175 from Samsung and no they will NOT sell the screen. So I'm still on the hunt. There is one guy on EBAY I refuse to by from as his response to the question I asked regarding the type of screen was less than friendly.

They only do that when the item is out of stock, i guess its a hassle to take it down and put it back up when they get more so they make the prices high so no one tries to buy it while it's out of stock.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] relic:
I am not sure if this has to do with using Android or not, but sometimes my HD2 decides to reboot itself unexpectedly, on WM as well as on Android and I can't really find what's causing it.

But what happens is, after switching itself off, it switches itself on again and hangs on the HTC logo, sometimes with or without the following info:

R 2.10.50.28_2

G 15.40.50.07U

D 1.66.76641

I am using stock ROM that came with it, i assumed it will be stable by itself but it reboots itself randomly sometimes just like on Android.

Does it have to do with the Radio version (i changed it from 2.07.xx). I tried 2.12.xx before and had same problems.

I should note that the only way for it to run again is to remove the battery for a while and then put it back. If i remove it and put it back briefly it will still hang.

Anyone is familiar with this strange behavior?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYRican:
ME too

I have the EXACT same problem. It only started for me after using android. now whenever i run Android it will unexpectedly reboot and sometimes hang like yours. It also does it in WM though not as often. I was able to notice it might have something to do with data connections bc if i run android but only use wifi it seems to be fine. I tried changing Radios WM ROMs and Android builds i even hardspled my phone again but nothing solved it. The problem needs to be talked about more. it got so bad for me I bought a Desire and gave up on my HD2 for the moment. Keep this thread up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] relic:
sounds like i have to follow:(

I hope not!

I notice if i do heavy download on wm or android i get it. But it could be that the phone is too hot? But it's not alarmingly hot tbh.

I hope more people can shed light on this.

Thanks for your input.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYRican:
Yeah this is what seems to happen to me too, i start a downlogsd it gets a bit warm then freezes or reboots and gets stuck. However it doesnt even have to be a large download for me, a simple cab file or youtube video sometimes. And as far as heat, this never used to be a problem and i know for a fact my phone used to heat up way more before without a problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] devilpera64:
Maybe the qualcomm chipset go in "safe mode"..i remember that for first start tickle the orange led and after the device freeze or restart..maybe your device overheat. Try to touch cover's device or install a battery status monitor software. If you have changed radio, return on the original status. In case the restart happen always, make a backup using Pimbackup, and do an Hard Reset. For first try to use the telephone without the memory card and test the stabilty. If is all ok, you have to provide to format your SD card in Fat32. Try also to change the HSPL with the original SPL.

After 45 mins of install HD2 still hanging?

Hi, I just installed FroyoSense by darkstone

Release date: 07.AUG.2010

I don't know if this is the latest (probably not) but after 45 minutes of install the screen has in the top left hand corner tiny small text (excuse my lack of knowledge here) but no scrolling text as I expected, its now like 50 minutes, how long should it take?

Any help please would be appreciated, thanks

New to the HD2

So, I just bought a used HD2 a week ago. It was having similar problems in WM. I took it to a local store, and they said that is just how WM phones are. I've flashed HSPL and different radios and ROMs, installed Android, but still have trouble with freezing and rebooting on it's own no matter what I do. IT happens the same in WM or Android. Is there any way to find out if these might be due to hardware problems caused by the previous owner?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jasperbleumink:
I got the same problem, when I do a lot of things on the same time on the HD2 it hangs or reboot. During de restart of the phone it hangs on the White screen with HTC on it. I have te take the battery out of it en than reboot again.

When I listen music and Internet the same time it almost always happends.

It happends on WM but also on Android, I tryed different ROM's and Radio Version's but nothing worked. Also tryed to work without SD-card, but still the same problem.

So I have no idea how to solve the problem...

I hope someone now's how to solve it...

Sorry for my bad English but I hope it's clear:-)

Today I was in the Store where I bought mine HTC HD2, because I was sick off it. They told me that is was a familiar problem with the HTC HD2. They also would repair it free for me. I didn't do it yet because first I have to delete my HSPL etc.

I asked them also what the would repair to solve te problem, he told me: the will do a complete bodyswap. So everything will be renewed, exept the tochscreen and front.

So I guess it is a real and serious hardware problem....

I am also having similar problems with my HD2.

As per my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9608576#post9608576

Mine also reboots itself randomly, but I have never identified it as being a heat/over-use issue. It does it when NOTHING else is running, and I'm simply typing a text message.

Something I didn't mention in my thread - sometimes when it reboots itself, I cannot restart it. It fails to start again with the buttons. Taking the battery out and reinserting does not fix it. All I can do is leave it alone for about 30 minutes, and then try to turn it on and sometimes it will work, and sometimes it won't

This is obviously a big issue, and from other posts here, is a KNOWN issue, so surely should be covered under manufacturer warranty ???

Can anyone confirm any new details on this please?

Please Note: I ONLY run WM6.5 from manufacturer, so my issue has nothing to do with Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t1h5ta3:
i picked up a 2nd hand hd2 that had random lock up issues in wm.

heres how i fixed it and got android running.

flashed hspl, factory wiped

flashed latest oem w/ latest radio, factory wiped

ran task29, factory wiped

ran task29, factory wiped

ran task29, factory wiped

( yes you read that right, 3 times )

pulled sdcard, put it in card reader, removed all partitions, fully formated.

flashed wm rom of choice, reboot

factory wipe, reboot

put android folder on sdcard. put card in phone, reboot

go thru normal initial android initial boot, dont go thru set up, just let it sit atleast 5min after boot, reboot

on 2nd boot log into android, set up gmail etc, wait a few min after it finishes syncing. reboot

basicly all the rerunning of task29/factory wipe is to get rid of all the old ghosts and corupt data in the phones memory. the removing partitions and reformating does the same for the sdcard. ghosts seem to be the big enemy that every one is battleing.

side note: you can set up adb or droid explorer on your pc and watch the comand line of android running and see if its getting errors on boot, if its looping etc...

theres tons of " how to use adb " posts. search the forums.

I have the same problem and after many testing I think it's an overheat issue.

It happens when the phone is used a lot and gets very warm in the lower back part.

I know it is normal to heat up, but when I bought it it had no problems playing music for hours, or browsing, or using GPS, or whatever.... Now it heats up a lot more and reboots. If you leave it for a couple of minutes to cool down it boots OK.

So I searched a lot, found many similar threads, tried every possible fix (new rom, radio, sd card, sim card, battery) but had no luck. A few users said that they sent their devices for repair and got them back with MAINBOARD changed. After that the problem with heat and reboot was gone.

Since I tried everything I had no choice but to send my phone for repair too :(

So now comes the waiting...
