I've been on XDA for months and have always found the answers to my questions by

reading

and

searching

the forums without feeling the need to post once.

This thread's title says "Devs Only". The OP asks that we refrain from useless comments and there is even a User thread devoted to non-devs to discuss questions and concerns about the ROM. So, why the hell is this thread now 16 pages deep in crap about VVM, backing up apps, and everybody whining about stuff not working that is already listed in the OP? I mean...really? Do you people read at all?

People can hate on me for posting this and say my comments are off-topic or useless, but you'll only be further hijacking a thread that doesn't need your input! We're all lucky to have Devs like Zen, Nfinte, Beezy, and Deca that put up with this garbage and still donate their talents for all of us to take advantage of...for FREE.

Amen! That is probably the reason why they're not using this thread any more. Too bad we can't watch it all unfold now.

any thing new

Has any one herd any thing new on this rom. Did Zen and the others start a new thread? Will the navigation work with out the GPS working right. And with out the wifi can you still watch videos that require wifi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
no new thread, zen has taken a break for a while but beezy and I are still working on this, it is very difficult at this point as the rom we are working with is extremely different with the wifi, and gps setup. as soon as we get something working I will be posting for everyone.

Take a break guys, HTC annouce that Legend 2.2 is comming in a few weeks, so some of your solutions should be there.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] canterrain:
I did a quick search and didn't see this mentioned so sorry if it has been.

Anyways, they're also working on porting this (or a similar) rom over to the droid eris, which is very much like a hero. Did the ops here ever consider getting in contact there and seeing if everyone can help each other? I know the droid eris isn't exactly like the hero, but I figured there's probably enough similarities that there will be similar problems and similar solutions.

i have a file named ROOTME on my sd card is that where i put the 4 downloaded files for this rom? i have read that i can download them from here straight to my hero is this true. this is my first time trying a new rom.:D i have rooted my phone and put flash 10.1 on it from this site straight to my phone worked great:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
Um, read the 1st post in this thread...

Not only does your phone need to be rooted, but it also requires repartitioning... I've thought about trying this ROM, but haven't been excited enough to muck with changing my partitioning as yet.

It's a bummer that it's so close, yet so far from being happy. Sounds very promising though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oostah:
i have read and printed 1st thread to be safe. but not sure about repartitioning i have seen the numbers in past post that i can get to set it at but not sure how. im trying to learn how. i have always hacked in to my phones to get them to tether and what not before android came out.

For the first time flashing a rom you picked the wrong one! First of all this thread is for Dev only, Dev meaning Developers, not end users. Second wifi doesnt even work yet nor does GPS or the camera. If you read the first page it states

[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
I was very happy yesterday when I picked up my brand new Desire HD. When I got home I immediately removed the plastic from the battery, inserted my sim card and plugged it in the charger while reading the manual.

After some tinkering around it suddenly rebooted. I thought it was just due to a setting I changed so didn't think much of it. However, it occurred another time later in the evening. This morning when I woke up, I didn't have any signal due to my DHD not recognizing my sim card any more. When I rebooted the phone, all was well. However when riding my train to work I felt the phone vibrate so I picked it up thinking I had a new text. Wrong: I was staring at the boot screen yet again.

When I got home this afternoon I did a factory reset using the phone's menu and hoped it would solve my problem. Unfortunately, when I opened the browser it rebooted again!

So, is my 2 day old DHD really dead-on-arrival or is there something else I could try? Unfortunately this was the last model left at the store where I got it from and they didn't know when another shipment would come in, so I might be stuck waiting for a while if I really do need to get it exchanged for a new one.
[Desire HD General] nickhammond121:
Mine is also doing this, also when I turned it off last night to charge it, it kept turning itself on. Any help much appreciated.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
imo take it back if a laptop or anything else was doing this i would say there is a hardware fault bad chip sample or something its not normal you should have to live with it take it back asap

or wait if you want but personally you pay that much you want it to work just take it back :P
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Maybe your SIM card is old and causing these reboots? DHD will automaticaly reboot when you unplug your SIM card without shutting it down first so maybe it's just loosing contact.

I've seen cases (various manufacturers) where SIM card would cause hangs, reboots and such. Replacement card from the operator in most cases fixed the issue.
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
My Nokia 6630 has that issue, it says the phone has to be reboot constantly due to a old scratched sim card, if i try with a new one it works perfectly :|
[Desire HD General] Talos77:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=676402

These reboot issues are a problem with the Desire, Nexus1, EVO4 and now it would appear the DesireHD. For the other phones the solution is to return to HTC for a mainboard replacement.

I really hope this isnt the case for the DesireHD.
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
As for it being my sim card: I doubt it as it works fine in my old phone (Nokia N900) and an old Motorola I still have. The sim card is barely 1 year old btw.

Yeah, I read about similar problems with the Desire and Nexus One but hoped the problems would have been solved in the DesireHD as I hadn't seen any messages of this problem occurring on the DHD before.

When I woke up about an hour ago, I again had to reboot my phone as it didn't see my sim card anymore. I'll go back to the store in about an hour to get a new one if they have it, and let you know when I get back...
[Desire HD General] nxtwrld:
This is just a wild guess, but may you should try to take out the sim card and place it back again. There could be a loose contact, dirt on the sim or some something else that might be causing a problem the phone does not see the sim correctly.
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
I thought of that last night so I took out the sim card as well as the battery and placed them back again. This morning, the DHD again failed to recognize my sim card so that problem wasn't solved.

The reboots seem to be rather random though, it's not just when I use my phone very heavily.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
the issue with the sim card isnt the mainboatd issue, its can be sim or one of the back covers, wird.
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
Well, I went to the shop this morning to replace my DHD for a new one. The shop I got it from didn't have any in stock anymore, so I had the choice to wait until next week, or go to another shop and have it exchanged there. So I went there, and they replaced my (I think) faulty unit for a new one :)

So far, it's working like a dream :) What I noticed that with my previous DHD the charger would buzz very slightly when charging, this doesn't happen with my new unit and the same charger.

I'll keep you updated whether or not my new unit is indeed problem free.
[Desire HD General] awolder:
I bought my Desire HD from the T-Mobile shop yesterday. Nice phone, but mine is rebooting every 5 minutes more or less. It seems to reboot soon after the 3g becomes active, but that may be just a coincidence. It also reboots immediatly upon plugging in the USB cable. Very annoying!. I thought I would try resetting to factory default, but that also did not help. I am going to swap it tomorrow, and hope I have better luck with that one.

[Desire HD General] joners:
Same issue here, got mine from three UK yesterday.

Brand new SIM Card with the phone as well.

It was fine most of last night, rebooted once then after setup, like another post didnt think that much of it.

Then this morning it went in to a boot loop, rebooted about 5times in a row and the only thing to correct was a battery pull.

Lets hope its a software issue and not hardware related!
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
I haven't been able to test my new unit properly just yet. I ordered a new SIM card through T-MOBILE but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm now using my DHD without a SIM card and it has been working fine for the past 24 hours. So I think my SIM card is indeed the problem, as both units rebooted several times with the SIM card inserted but work fine without one.
[Desire HD General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
When i picked up my sgs. It used to have same problem. Everytime i open a browser it reboots. But after i changed the rom it went perfect

Factory reset wont work. Try fresh install from the recovery menu. I think it will fix ur problem.

Most of the time this issue is software related.
[Desire HD General] awolder:
Replaced my DHD at T-Mobile

Hi all,

So i was experiencing the reboot problem on my new phone. In fact mine was rebooting every 5 to 10 minutes since i took it out of the box. I phoned HTC to see if there was something I was doing wrong. They told me it's probably mainboard fault and I should return it.

Today I brought it back to the t-mobile shop and they exchanged it for a new one no questions asked. I demonstrated to the sales guy how it reboots for no reason, just to prove I wasn't crazy, but he didn't even ask for proof. The new one seems to be working flawlessly so far.

Here in Netherlands, you have 8 business days to return your device if something is wrong, and they will exchange it. If you wait too long, you would have to send it for repair under warranty. If you are having issues such as this, I would definitely swap it out a.s.a.p because when you buy an expensive phone like this, its meant to WORK!

I noticed something else perhaps worth mentioning. When the first phone package was opened, the plastic piece protecting the battery was not there, and the Micro SD was in the box, but not in the phone. The plastic cover was on the phone however, so I didn't think anything of these things because i don't know how the phones are packed. When I got the replacement phone, I tried to start it and it wouldnt start. Only then did I realize the replacement phone had a plastic protector around the battery which I first had to remove, and the micro sd was already in the phone. When i put my sim in the replacement phone, the fit was tighter as well. This all seems rather dubious to me. Perhaps someone had a play around with the first one before selling it? Maybe it was refurbished? In any case MAKE SURE you inspect the phone before leaving the shop, and make sure your phone hasn't been played with.

good luck everyone!

Andrew :)
[Desire HD General] etux:
Horrible reboot

Hi all,

I have been experiencing different reboots due to different reasons. Main reason is the fact of applying too much pressure on the back cover. That will always result in a reboot (I suspect it has to do with the two contacts under the cover).

Another reason for rebooting, as I have experiencing, is unplugging the charger while using the telephone.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are more reasons that cause the rebooting of the unit.

The worse part in my case is the fact that I lost the receipt, thus I believe I won't be able to take it back to have it fixed. Am I wrong?
[Desire HD General] nickhammond121:
I've been experiencing the same issues, but mine also turns itself on. I tried factory reset, didn't solve. So I am getting it exchanged as soon as its back in stock with Vodafone.
[Desire HD General] joblamie:
I am having exactly the same problem with my DHD. It's randomly rebooting 1 or 2 times a day. And when it's rebooted there is no signal and sometimes it doesn't even recognize my simcard at all. Manually rebooting the device then solves the problem for a while, untill it reboots automaticly again....

I have a dual simcard so today I will swap it, but I don't think that is going to work.
[Desire HD General] joostnl:
I don't have the DHD yet...

But i saw in a youtube movie that the batterycover had 2 contacts.

The guy in de video told that when you take the batterycover off when the phone is on it will shut down.

Maybe your battterycover is not set the good way.

Hi,

Realised i need SSPLManual.exe to fix a hardspl problem on my phone but didnt come in the original zip and cant find it any where ?

Anyone point me in the right direction ?

Many thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Did you look in the hard spl thread? I'm pretty sure that's where it is.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmidderigh:
I did eventually find one attached to a thread discussing Hard spl but whats confusing (for a noob like me) is it wasnt clear whether theres a specific version of it depending on type of phone, i.e. i there a different version for GSM or CDMA phones ?

Anyway found one in a zip called : SSPLManual_Raphael.zip and ran it on my GSM Touch Pro and it did turn the screen black - however this didnt solve my initial problem - see my other post for details : seems I cant post a link to this currently as i'm to much of a noob :D - the posts called : ' Hardspl cant locate my phone' if your interested
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Hard spl (and probably the soft one) are absolutely device specific. If you flash a gsm HSPL to a cdma phone, it's an instant brick.

Just read the hard spl thread. Every issue that is ever encountered is covered in that thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mininni:
I just did a hard reset with my phone. After that, I messed something with the registry. I guess I did something wrong, because I don't get SMS notifications anymore, only the screen is waking up and the LED is flashing. I just want the little icon in the top of my screen and I want to see the preview of the message.

Is there any way to set this in the registry?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solace88:
Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> New text message ; check box "Preview message on screen"

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
I posted my predicament in the General forum about my PC frying my Captivate.

Well to sum it up, my pc has been frying usb devices left and right. Mainly it is killing the usb chipset controllers on the devices. This now means my phone can no longer mount to my pc in any way. If I plug it in, I get an immediate "usb device not recognized."

I want to take this to AT&T and see if they can do anything, but of course my phone is rooted and has the bloatware removed.

Since I can't get my phone connected to my pc in any way, I obviously can't use Odin to reflash my phone to stock and I can't use One-Click to unroot either.

Is there any update.zip file out there that will reinstall the att bloatware and get rid of root/superuser? I don't have any hacked firmware or custom roms on my phone as all I did was root and get rid of the att apps.

I simply need a way to put the att apps back on my phone and get rid of root/superuser WITHOUT the use of a pc.

Thanks a bunch guys!

Off the top of my head, I see two possibilities.

1) Do it by hand. Find copies of the original apps and install them, then look at what the root update.zip script does and undo it.

2) get someone to make a stock nandroid backup and restore it to your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
I have all the original .apk files for the ATT apps but I can't just put them on my phone and install them. I need to side load them which I can't due unless I have access to a PC. Unless I'm missing something
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supertrac:
DG's zip has busybox and superuser included, you need to remove those files first on your pc. If your pc has a card reader you can use it to transfer the file back to your sd card after it's edited.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
I've done it by emailing myself the apk file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
I think the incident with my phone won't allow my phone to read external microSD either. I can still browse the internal fine but I don't think it can read any external anymore.

I uploaded a few .apk to Dropbox and downloaded them to my phone but I get the typical "installation locked" message due to it not being a market app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdhvanIt:
Use android terminal emulator the same way you would adb to copy the .apk files to /system/app.

Or... you can use es file explorer with system mounted and copy them that way. Then reboot. As for unroot.... Idk what to tell you, I don't have that phone..

Also, I would recommend testing it on another pc. Yours is likely stupid, not frying the usb ports. If this were so, it shouldn't charge either.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
The usb ports are 100% frying the chipsets on usb devices. I have a network adapter, a flash drive, external hard drive, and a brand new flash drive that all have a burnt chip after being in the usb for longer than 10 seconds. Most will still power on when plugged into another pc but they just cant interface with the pc's with the chipsets being fried, it has no way to properly communicate.

I've tested my phone and all the fried flash drives on 4 pcs at this point.

I do plan on returning it and I know that SU has to be removed but I guess I just glanced over your post :rolleyes:
