[Wildfire General] xxxAzrealxxx:
Go to theunlocker website and first search how-to-create-a-goldcard then visit shipped roms and download http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed and run,also recomend visiting unrevoked site first and getting root to enable taking a nandroid backup so if any thing stalls you can restore from good backup.
[Wildfire General] alande21:
the memory card that i have in my pone now is a gold card and ive use unrevoke and dwnloaded the rru and it wont let me install it
[Wildfire General] xxxAzrealxxx:
Whats the current version of your phones software ? you might need to roll back to an earlier ruu and then progressively update through the software updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flightposite:
Does anybody have this app? I am searching the App Market and still can not find it.

I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If you have to pay for it it won't be on here as it's against forum rules to post warez
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flightposite:
I think there is a free (lite) version.

Are you able to see it when you search the Market? Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I'm not, no...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Cyrioz:

[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I just got a replacement G2 from UPS this morning. Hopefully to address my random reboot issue and random signal flakiness. Really I just wanted to see if the new unit had a different part number (as in newer hardware revision). I hadn't seen any posts with part numbers listed from their phones. The part number is located under the battery, btw.

The old phone (recieved Sept 29th - pre order):

P/N: 99HLW021-00 XE

S/N: HT09NR21XXXX

The new phone (got it this morning Oct 28th):

P/N: 99HLW021-01 A

S/N: HT0A4R21XXXX

Maybe that last "01" is a revision number?? It looks to me the replacement I recieved is BRAND NEW, not a refurb. At least it appears that way. I think it would be pretty hard to reinstall those plastic pieces between the screen and keyboard, on the keyboard itself, and on the screen that come when it ships new. Of course they stripped it of the battery and back cover.

My old hinge was very tight, and this was also appears to be tight. Although it may have a little less wobble to it. I need to reload all my stuff and give it a test run.

I'll report back on any differences I note.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pak256:
I see you're in the same area as me, I was wondering what kind of speeds have you gotten around both St.Pete and Tampa. I can't seem to get anything better than 4 mbps at most for download.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I'm getting around 3-4Mbps d/l most of the time. I've seen as high as 9Mbps near my job, though. Icot area off of Ulmerton.

Make sure you check your part number when you get a chance and vote in the poll at the top. I'm curious about this part number revision thing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mayurolla:
99HLW021-00 from pre-order. Thinking about getting it switched out if there is a new revision out. My hinge is very loose but no reboot issues.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I haven't even powered up my new one yet. I just put on my screen protector and I'm letting it dry thoroughly before powering it back up. I'll probably wait to mess with it tonight when I'm at work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgold708:
I actually have 2 -00's so if anyone wants to change the poll? My wife's was received 2 days ago brand new in box from Asurion. Both have tight and identical hinges and no issues. Mine is 2 weeks old.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
just received my replacement order yesterday from preorder and they both have P/N: 99HLW021-00 XE.

but this hinge seems to be tighter than the first one. but i am sure it will get loose over time. It seems i get worst signal than the first one. still no 3G in my house with G2. I get it all day with my Blackberry 9700...*sigh may have to sell the G2 and get the new 9780
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
Anyone getting the replacements getting a brand new in box phone? Cause I am going to demand that I think when I call about my phone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
yes mine was brand new sealed up. Came out of Colorado warehouse. I live in MA. I was still within my buyers remorse period.

if you go it from a store just go back to them and get a exchange
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
nope mine was from the mail... so I am going to get screwed once again by CS sending me a referbed one.... I have the extended warranty on the thing too... ugh...
[G2 and Desire Z General] KidHuyDiet:
they gave you a brand new box is because ur still under the 14 days grace period. After the 14 days grace period, most replacement handset are just the phone itself no back cover or the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
i was talking to a rep they did tell me that the phone is so new there isn't any referb phone to give out. my issue was cuz i work for tmo i can't return my phone so i can only get exchanges...

i really wish i didnt get the g2...so many issues with it. hoping to get the Blackberry 9780
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
Sorry to hear that :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
sorry for getting off topic but do u guys know how to fix when sending an mms issue where the signal gets dropped and comes back up
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
how much crap did they put you through (testing of the device) before they agreed to send you a replacement? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gr8gorilla:
same 00 xe is my part number, and I got it on Pre-Order.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
advise technical support you have perform multiple master reset on the phone and you receive random reboots
[G2 and Desire Z General] ostinq:
I got mine from the T-mobile store yesterday. I am taking it back today. Floppy hinge, won't even connect to edge where I used to get 3G with my G1. I really like the phone but until a radio update and new hinge I will go back to my G1. Or wait till next week and try the my touch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
i picked mine up a week ago in fort lauderdale, part# 99hlw021-00 xf
[G2 and Desire Z General] edwardlanti:
I also received a replacement today with P/N: 99HLW021-01 A. It was a brand new phone. Maybe it is a new batch because I ordered a replacement last thursday and it took a week to get here, normally it only takes 2 days. I am located in NYC. I noticed that the new phone has a different color in the back. My original has like a brownish color and the new one is grey. Also the Hinge feels sturdier when is closed and when is open as well. I will take a picture of the both phones so you guys can see what i am talking about the colors
[G2 and Desire Z General] edwardlanti:
The one on the left is the old phone and the new one on the right
[G2 and Desire Z General] Timothykim:
this may be completely irrelevant but my first g2 (very very loose hinge) had a screen protector with the tab to remove it above the speaker grill.

the replacement i received (really tight hinges) had the screen protector tab off to the right of the screen.

possibly one way to differentiate? no idea just thought id share
[G2 and Desire Z General] edwardlanti:
This is how mines came in as well. The tab on the right
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
Mine looks like that too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cbmm:
whats the "XF" at the end for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
the replacement phone still only have 1-1.5 gb free space?
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
That is very intresting...different color g2??? Does ur front still look the same? (Gray color) y would it be 2 tone color phone.

That tbe golden g2...U just won urself a round trip fare ticket to htc factory in taiwan lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] swhtownboy:
I got my replacement g2 yesterday and the little door that keeps the micro sd card in place was missing,ugh....so I had to send that one back...I'm now waiting for my second replacement
[G2 and Desire Z General] edwardlanti:
The phone is the same color in the front and the back. I never noticed the color till today when I received my replacement phone. Is there anyone else out there with that color as well?
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Is your hinge still wiggly? When you got your replacement, did you complain about the hinge? I'm getting excited!
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
I have my replacement coming tomorrow. I will let ya know how it works out. I am replacing mine because the bottom trim piece isnt snapped on properly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tatdude806:
My replacement came today...

I also got the "newer" part number... P/N: 99HLW021-01 A... Hinge feels the same, not too loose, not tight.... (Not just right either...) So far I have noticed no difference except that market force closed on me 5 times while reloading my aps...

UPDATE: DEAD PIXELS everywhere!!! I AM NOT WELL... they can take the replacement back and try again.... They are sending, yet, another one... I am not crying about the hinge, I am crying about the reboots and dead pixels, they are a big deal to me...
[G2 and Desire Z General] izzyskywalker:
I'm getting between 5.5 and 6.5 inside my house in brandon, near the mall.. It might be higher outdoors, my signal is pretty sketchy...pretty sure my house is a bomb shelter

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
The biggest question is, who here has bought a phone from the store and actually got the P/N: 99HLW021-01 A part number.

If all the replacements came in "01 A" it would be safe to say that these are the refurbished models? I almost want to go buy another phone just to see this lol. But would be succumbed to a $10 restocking fee when I return it. lol

EDIT: I bought mine with no hinge issues, no reboot issues, no Youtube freeze issues on October 4th. Mine is also the 00 XE part number. I don't know what really classifies a hinge issue but when holding my phone face-down, the phone does open about a gap of a quarter coin.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jdc:
I have one of the 21-00 models and it doesn't exhibit the golden/brown colouration, it's a solid grey.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
I talked to a retention CS yesterday about getting mine replaced and she said that she wouldnt give me a new one cause they are aware of the problem and that ota updates are coming soon...
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
Great....... my 2nd G2 had dead pixels which is why i sent it back, now my 3rd G2 is on the way (should be here Monday/Tuesday) and i swear if it has ANY god damn dead pixels imma choke someone (T-Mobile Rep).
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ LIKE
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
Well.. Looks like I went backwards.

OldPhone - 99HLW021-00 XF

New Phone - 99HLW021-00 A

Both phones are the darker back version.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Turbo Brian:
i bought mine on Oct 15 at a local store and have version 99HLW021-00 A. ive had zero issues. its never rebooted on its own, it holds a 3g signal well (better than my nexus one ever did), hinge appears "tight", no dead pixels, great battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
good to hear. I am going to hold on to it for a few days and see how she works.

Thanks for the positive feedback! makes me fell better that I wont have to exchange.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smirkis:
waiting on my replacement, should be here by monday i hope. i'll post as soon as i get it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
I'm very curious as to what the XE, XF and A mean. Let alone the 00 and 01 numbers. It almost seems that the 01 numbers are being sent as replacements and not being sold in stores.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Authority:
I just got a replacement, my third now..

#1 rebooted all of the time...

#2 would turn off randomly... And almost got me fired at my job because of it.

And this one works great! Hinge is the same as the other two, lose.. Doesn't bother me at all... Although I wish it was spring loaded...

It's part number is:

99HLW021 - 01 A

Highest speed I have received is 3.2MBS, and I think 1MBs upload. But I live in Salt Lake City Utah, and they say that the HSPA+ is only 70% here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
I am glad you are happy with your replacement. Hinge isnt even a problem really. The phone is f'in great and the download speeds are awesome! Battery life is also one of the best I have on a smartphone
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
I'm going to break down and do a replacement as well. My gps and data speeds are both super flakey. And seeing that it's a slightly different part number I'll definitly hit up t-mobile
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
well.. less than 24 hours in..

New phone reboots itself. And the hinge is MUCH more loose. Gonna hold a few more days. But I will exchange if it keeps rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JRG1392:
Had an XE where the standby button was sticking.

Replacement phone is a 01 A...

I'm very curious as to what this all means.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ruan619:
Does tmobile let you keep your original phone when you ask for a replacement because I'm scared that my replacement might be worst than my original and then I'd really be S.O.L.
[G2 and Desire Z General] master.peterm:
99HLW021-00 radioshack first day they got it. no hinge problem, no random reboot unless i overly overclock
[G2 and Desire Z General] izzyskywalker:
Two 00 XFs from local store.. no problems

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] smirkis:
just got my replacement this morning and im sending it right back lol. the freakin metal part for the microsd card is missing on the replacement. it did have the 01 A serial tho. have another on the way express'd, hopefully it'll be here by the weekend. whata fluke
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
OH WOW how the hell could that get past the QC check! Thats so retarded.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
Great... My 3rd G2 just came in and I'll have to double check everything now... I'm still at work so I'll update everyone on how my 3rd G2 is.

I can't believe we're having so many issues with the G2 replacements, wtf is HTC/T-Mobile doin' about this?! I'm sick and tired of asking for a god damn replacement!
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
can i still return because of loose hinge? it's annoying the screen moves even when laying on my side to use key board.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
if you are within your buyer's remorse peroid you can return (14 days i beleive unless in CA, 30days) if not then you will not be able to for that reason because it seems tmobile to have seen this as a non issue and it is design like that. no action will be done if customer calls in and complain about loose hinge.

also the random reboots is a known issue and i guess depends on the CS rep when you call they may give you a replacement but they know it is a software issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tankmorph:
I got my replacement based on random reboots. The reps I spoke with "never heard of this issue". Go figure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TL24:
Ok, i just turned on my 3rd G2 and again........ sigh.... dead pixels.....

I swear, what the **** am i buying here?! It's like going to Burger King to buy a Whopper to find out you're only getting 3/4 of the meat! It's like buying a car advertised to have 300hp when it actually only has 200hp!

I'm sick and tired of this ****, sorry for the language boys, but honestly enough is enough. You don't hear about iPhone4's having dead pixels or dust in the screen within' 5 minutes of turning on the god damn phone! We pay top dollars and we should only expect a product that's in perfect condition, not a phone with dead pixels!

Tell you what T-Mobile, take this G2 and shove it up your ****in' ass - then send me my 4th G2!
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
I was able to have them send me a BRAND NEW G2 for my issues that I have been having with my phone and all the issues I have gone through in the past with my other phones... they said it should be here by Thursday
[G2 and Desire Z General] swhtownboy:
Are u serious? The exact same thing happened to me...smh. I was like wait...something is weird. Anyone I got my other one today and it had it..good!
[G2 and Desire Z General] KidHuyDiet:
I know how you feel man. Im waiting on my 4th replacement within 25 days.... If this 4th replacement isnt working i hate to say it, but ima just have to jump ship into the MyTouch HD...
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
I didn't peel off the screen protect film til today. I peeled it today and found a dust under screen.

I wanted an exchange for loose hinge but heard they assumed a defiant attitude about it. I'm glad I have a reason now.

do the ones with the part # 01 have all solid hinge?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Authority:
No mine doesn't... Like I posed earlier. The only thing I notice is that it doesn't shut down randomly or reboot... But then again people with 00's say the same thing. I don't know what the main difference is.

But is has a loose hing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] FlyLikeAG2:
I'm thinking #01 is probably refurbished. Nobody has gotten one from the retail store new-in-the-box with that serial number yet.

Maybe #00 means first QC inspection and #01 is the second QC inspection.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrpandainc:
I received my replacement and it had a broken MicroSD card hinge FML. I am sending it back it soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
99HLW021-00 XF here, hinge is great, radio ****ing SUCKS, and is my 3rd G2. Getting angry.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
Got my BRAND NEW phone in the box replacement yesterday and I still have the 00 part number on that one too.... we will see how this goes...

BTW Mikey is one sexy Mod. ;):cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrpandainc:
You got a brand new phone meaning like SEALED with the tmobile sticker on both sides of the box?

If so I got one today also which is my second replacement. What do you do with your old phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jpc2190:
I just got my phone from a retail shop in florida it has a 00A part number and from what I can tell a good hinge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
I recently bought a used G2, the guy bought it on the 6th. It is a 00XE, There are dead pixels, the power button is weird, and the hinge doesn't feel right. The dead pixels are very hard to spot, you can only see them in a black background. It works fine, but the hinge, and the pixels bug me so I ordered a replacement, Should be shipped soon, so maybe it will be a newer replacement?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
seriously?

if you ask replacement to HTC, they don't send a new one with sealed retail box?

i know retail stores still dont have 01. maybe they are not selling a lot. still initial stock left.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
HTC sends white boxes with just the phone. If they are no refurbs, they just send you new ones in the same way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrpandainc:
What happens when tmobile sends you a brand new replacement sealed in the box, what do you do with your old phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
What I would do is just send them your old box, accessories, and phone. Then keep the new stuff. They should have sent you a label along with the phone. Oh and just to help them out even more(What I would do), write on a sticky note saying old hardware, then put it on your old G2 box.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrpandainc:
They did not even send the label with it. Just a brand new phone. Keep in mind I am outside my 14 day period normally they are suppose to send refurbs but I got brand spanking new one with no return label.

The funny part is my phone has a better screen hinge. I am thinking of send the new phone back and keep my old one.

Any ideas or suggestions beyond that? I am really baffled and if it is a error on their behalf I wouldnt mind two g2's lol. I know these errors can come back to haunt me but yea what you think?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ~~Tito~~:
Call them, tell them to email you the shipping label, and say the one you got was worse than yours, then send it back and wait for the new one to come.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrpandainc:
Thanks Tito I was really looking for some help on that :) I was guessing the best best is to call them
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottch699:
I have to send the old one back within three days or be billed
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Guys I recived my 2nd G2 back on the 15th from tmo dierectly. I got 21-00 with a crapy hinge, but better than on first, and lots of reboots,but not as bad as the 1st.

I have since updated with new OTA, and can say that reboots have been nearly eliminated...but my hinge still sucks!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
How can I get the 01 I bought mine from Craigslist. It was brand new. I checked the part number and it was 00. Only had it for a day and hinge is extremly loose and all wobbly. Didn't have reboot problem but can't get sd card to work. Whenever I pop in the sd card and click mount sd card it says sd card removal or w/e. Should I call htc and make them send me a replacement. When they send replacement do I have to send in mine first or theirs? Any tips? And will replacement have scratches and stuffs cause mine is in flawless condition

Any tips ?

Or should I call t mobile. I didn't buy the phone from theme but I have a family plan with 4 lines.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
so if i want a replacement with 01 or later, do i have to call htc? or t-mo customer care also can arrange shipment?

dou you have to pay shipping fee both way? even within 30 days?

i went some t-mo store in LA area but they all still have 00 only. seems not selling well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread such as this one, but I was curious to know if these two part numbers truly mean that 00 is the original version and 01 is the updated (hinge fixed) version. I have 99HLW021-00, and although my hinge was pretty damn strong at first it's now starting to feel a little loose and wobbly at times. Does anyone know what the differences are between these two?
[G2 and Desire Z General] digital_exhaust:
I've had both, and I can assure you that the 01 is not a "hinge fixed" version. If anything, the hinge on the 01 unit was looser than then the original 00 models I have had. I don't know exactly what the differences are technically, but from using both I can not say that I observed any notable differences.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OoTLink:
I just got a 21-00 unit a few days ago, and it was brand new (packaged exactly the same as the one I got about 20 days before that). I had to argue with the CSR to get them to send me a new one and all >> It came with all the accesories.

If you get a naked phone, it's probably a refurb - or was relabeled anyway, that people are getting miscolored ones and ones missing parts seems to confirm the idea that it IS a refurb.

A solid hint if you're getting an exchange on the remorse period is if they charge 5.99 for shipping. The warranty exchanges are naked and 9.99 to ship.
