You flashed a i9000 kernel onto your Fascinate. Ay caramba.

DON'T FLASH NON-FASCINATE ROMS ONTO YOUR FASCINATE

Anyway, I can't think of anything except trying to flash the Fascinate CWM kernel back onto your phone again with Odin.

edit -- FYI, the only BLN kernels any Fascinate owner should be flashing are the ones from jt1134, available only via ROM Manager
[Fascinate General] rushringleader:
Figured as much... I read it worked and that is why I installed. Hopefully I can get a fix. Maybe I should do adb?

hey just wondering if i could prehaphs unlock or reflash a droid 2 for sprint? i have an evo 4g getting board.... and kinda want a droid with a board :) thanks for your help
[Droid 2 General] wecramer:
Not sure you can do that since Verizon and Sprint have different types of networks. Maybe a Droid 2 Global?
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
Verizon and Sprint actually do have the same type of network (they both use CDMA), but it would be next to impossible to get a phone from one network activated on the other. Unfortunately, it isn't like the SIM cards, where you can just unlock the phone and put in another carrier's SIM. From what I hear, Verizon won't activate an ESN (device identifier) that isn't from a device they have sold.

Not sure about Sprint, but I haven't heard of anyone successfully doing it in a LONG time.
[Droid 2 General] brinox:
actually, they dont operate on different network types. sprint and verizon both definitely run on CDMA, and their phones can technically function on either network. the problem is that the IMEI's for each network are only valid on their respective network. If your IMEI is not on the particular network then it will not activate on that network.

the general rule of thumb with sprint and verizon phones: if it doesnt have the corresponding carrier branding on the phone in some fashion, then it will not activate on that particular network.

Also, carrier reps for both of these carriers will not add in your IMEI no matter how much money you say you will throw at them.
[Droid 2 General] wecramer:
My apologies for being misinformed.
[Droid 2 General] lintmail:
I use to have a BB storm and once you "unlocked" it you could use it on other networks. I seem to recall a lively discussion on crackberry.com regarding which networks with which it would work. Now perhaps that's because the storm had CDMA/GSM capabilities, but I'm not sure.
[Droid 2 General] Phoible:
I had a Storm as well. When you unlocked it, you could get it to work on AT&T and T-Mobile, because it was a global phone with a SIM card. You couldn't get 3G on any of the US Carriers, since the 3G frequencies are different in the US and in the rest of the world (so the data would be confined to slow 2G rates).

I did see a rumor recently that T-Mobile eventually did something to lock US Storms out of their networks.

http://crackberry.com/t-mobile-killing-service-unlocked-storm-devices

If you get the Droid 2 Global, you should be able to unlock it and run it on AT&T or T-Mobile with a SIM card. You most likely won't be able to get 3G, though. Probably not worth it.

Hopefully, when Verizon switches to LTE some time in the next year, the phones will be compatible across carriers. From what I understand, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are all switching to LTE. It sounds like Sprint is investigating, and my guess is that they will go that direction (ditching WiMax in the long-term). However, I wouldn't put it past the carriers to lock other US devices out of their networks.

Regardless, this won't help much with getting a device to run on Sprint. I'm sure that there will be some more cool Android Devices coming out for Sprint in the future.
[Droid 2 General] dan1431:
A colleague of mine recently activated a DROID X on Sprint, but it was a hassle all around.

Programming the phone through QPST was annoying but doable, it was getting the phone's ESN added to the Sprint database that was a real hassle.

Eventually, my colleague had to work with somebody in Overland Park, KS. (Sprint's HQ) to get it done. After 11 phone calls to Sprint Customer Service (which were totally clueless), he finally sent a FedEx to Steve Elfman's office (President Network Operations) before anybody at Sprint was willing to even consider the addition. A few days after the Fedex was received, somebody from Mr. Elfman's office called my colleague back and worked with him to accomplish the addition.

After all is said and done, my colleague is happy that his DROID X is now on Sprint, but he has said a few times now that it really was not worth the effort that he had to put into it to get it accomplished.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bettasbetta:
hi everybody!

first of all, i'd like to ask for your leniency since i'm a total noob here at xdadev.

I just got a T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2, and I have no complaints in terms of reception and connectivity. However, from the very beginning I have noticed that memory usage is high even with no apps running. I have stripped touchflo from all nonessential components, like weather, stocks, etc, but it makes little difference.

Also, the rom is loaded with apps that I don't need and apparently can't be uninstalled. As an experiment, I tried to install Gmail (tho you don't really need to) and I got the following error message:

installation failed, errno=910 Application authorization failure

what's up with that??

My previous device was a generic windows phone running windows mobile 6.5.2.23090 Pro, and I really liked the finger-friendly menus. i also had flexibility to configure the device that I seem to have lost completely with the touch pro 2.

I have considered installing a custom rom, but I really like touchflo, with the black/Grey/White interface, the smart looking flipping retro clock on the front, the dialer, the menus, the multimedia handlers, etc,.

Would I be able to install touchflo on top of a custom rom? your eyes must be rolling by now, but... i have looked and i've only found versions that are different from the one I have and love.

What do you guys think? do you have a specific rom or touchflo version to suggest? lemme know!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
TouchFLO is old (Manila 2.0) and replaced with Sense (Manila 2.5). Basically the same thing, but better looking, and more functionality. TouchFLO/Sense cannot be installed onto a phone after the fact. It needs to be cooked in as part of the original ROM. If you like the HTC Manila UI, look for custom ROMs which have Sense. Most of the things you mention are the same/similar in Sense as TouchFLO (although I'm not familiar with what carrier customizations to TouchFLO the T-Mob version has).

Custom ROMs will solve your issue with the carrier bloatware, and many of them manage memory better than stock. Although, you will see there is huge variety in terms of looks and what apps are cooked-in. If you want a clean, lightweight ROM try simplicity or Jackos (Jackos is really good for memory management). Many people also like Valkyrie. Energy is very popular, with great looks and lots of cooked-in apps, but not the most lightweight.

Custom ROM

Hi,

I just recently (like a week and a half ago) got a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I had been using an older HTC Touch Viva. It just like the TP2 I bought came with Windows Mobile 6.1. I used my Viva for quite a while with WM 6.1 before I found my way here to XDA.

I went very slowly at first flashing my first custom ROM onto my Viva but after a while got to a point that I was trying out a different ROM almost weekly. The problem is that a lot of these custom ROMs have bugs in them to some degree. So I went back and forth to find the ROM that I liked that seemed to run the smoothest.

As someone previously stated, the TouchFlo 2 interface is an older interface. But as I understand it it wasn't that it was replaced by Sense 2.5 but was created for phones that weren't as powerful. It didn't need quite as much graphical power to operate it and gave phones like the Touch Viva a nicer interface that looked a lot like the nicer Sense interface.

I spend quite a lot of time trying out different custom ROMs on my Viva so when I decided to upgrade my phone to the TP2 I had already scouted out the ROMs to some degree and had download a few to try out. :o

I too liked the finger friendly menus of Windows Mobile 6.5.x of the ROMs that I had been using on my Viva and knew that I wouldn't keep the OEM WM 6.1 on my TP2 any longer than I had to.

I went through a couple of custom ROMs for the TP2 before trying out the Simplicity ROM. It seems to still have the look and feel of an OEM style ROM without all of the bloat that comes with them, but this is only my opinion. You'll need to try out a few of them to see which one you like.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bettasbetta:
Dear All,

After I started this thread, a couple of noobs actually pm’d me to ask about my progress. They said they were too embarrassed to post their noob questions directly on my thread. Since I know the feeling, I will post a quick recap of what I did and where they can find the relevant information on xdadev.

First of all, before I began, I made sure I:

1) had my rhodium connected to my PC via Windows Mobile Device Manager (for XP users it would be Microsoft ActiveSync);

2) knew how to enter bootloader mode on my rhodium;

3) knew how to hard reset my rhodium;

4) had a backup copy of the latest official rom release from T-Mobile, just in case.

At this point I chose a custom rom from one of the many talented chefs on xdadev. My choice is the simple and gorgeous “Reference”, that NRGZ28 has created for htc rhodium. The full file name is:

Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Reference.Nov.13.7z

And it can be found on the chef’s original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562773

STEP 1:

I downloaded and installed the ‘Hard-SPL’ package from the following thread (after I read the instructions):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131

This tweak allowed my rhodium to 'accept' custom roms.

STEP 2 (NOT NECESSARY, BUT I DID IT BECAUSE MY ROM HAD BEEN FLASHED A FEW TIMES BEFORE):

I downloaded and ran Task 29 from the following thread (after I read the instructions):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191

This tool formatted the internal memory of my rhodium to remove any trace of previous roms.

At the end of the process, I was quick to put my rhodium in bootloader mode and proceed with STEP 3 below. However, if you allow the device to reboot, it will be stuck on the splash screen because task 29 has wiped the rom partition clean. It’s totally normal, so don’t freak out. All you have to do is yank the battery, restart the device in bootloader mode, and proceed with STEP 3.

STEP 3:

I ran the installer from my custom rom of choice. At the end of the process, I yanked the battery and hard reset the device. Then I repeated the operation one more time. It’s recommended to hard reset a couple of times after flashing a new rom. So what’s the point of waiting through the first run and customization screens twice just to hard reset?

If your chef doesn't provide specific installation instructions, you can read mskip's flashing guide for noobs:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

The whole process ran smoothly and I’ve been enjoying my new rom for a few days now.

Next mission: get rid of that awful T-mobile splash screen at startup…

Peace-out
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Thanks for posting your experience here for others.

But a couple comments:

Task29 is supposed to stop on the splash screen. Once it does, you hold the volume down button, while pressing and releasing the soft reset button with the stylus (under the battery cover). It says this in the Task29 instructions.

I usually do a hard reset after flashing the new ROM. Personally I only hard reset once. I think (not sure) its just to make sure that any previous data has been cleared. Pressing the soft reset button with the stylus does the same as pulling the battery, but to me a bit easier. And I've seen it cautioned here that the soft reset button is safer than pulling the battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Soft reset is less volatile on the flash memory. Always soft reset when possible. There is no need to hard reset if you perform a task29. Hard reset pretty much does the same thing. You only need to do EITHER a task29 OR a hard reset for best performance. Also, you only need to do a single hard reset if that's the route you choose. Doing two of them is a bit extreme.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bettasbetta:
Everybody thanks for your feedback!

I will correct the procedure accordingly should I need to flash the rom again in the future.

My experience is that the process itself is very simple; what makes it confusing is that the info is scattered all over the place, and sometimes there's too much unnecessary detail to sort through.

One way experienced xdadev contributors could make life easier for us mere mortals would be to state in more simple terms which devices their tool/rom is compatible with and how to check that you have the latest version. It took me a while to figure out, for example, which HSPL package was compatible with my rhodium and whether I had the latest release.

Anyway, thanks as usual for your gr8 work :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
There is only one Hard SPL tool. It's the only one in the Rhodium sub-forum. It's also the second thread in the ROM development area. Even if you were still confused in getting to that thread, the instructions in the first post are laid out clearly, and step-by-step. I don't get what was so confusing. It took me all of 3 hours to get my device set up the first time I began flashing ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] puff601:
use this task29. it changes the boot screen to say Touch Pro 2. I use it on my sprint tp2 and my gf's tmobile tp2. it gets rid of the white htc screen on mine and the tmobile screen on hers.

mission complete

Peace :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Do you even know what task29 does? It formats your internal memory, meaning it erases the ROM image. Don't use that RUU file. Just drop the NBH file into a folder with any other RUU and it will work exactly the same without destroying all of your data.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bettasbetta:
The confusion arose from the fact that i wasnt sure whether the posts were up-to-date. When you're dealing with a phone that's been around for over two years, you gotta at least acknowledge the issue. I was concerned that an earlier version of hspl would not accept more recent custom roms.

Again, I only started the process once I was positive I had the latest compatible tools/rom, and I was done in less than one hour.

Thank you for all your input.

To be honest, I find it a bit lame and slow. The only plus side for most users will be that it does have pinch to zoom. But aside that it might be pretty it really is not a step up from stock. Try the muiu browser it is a bit faster but more intuitive.

I find this version is a bit slow on loading, but when the page is fully loaded there is no equal for panning around and reflowing text. However, this is the first beta and functionality can only increase from here! I'm just glad to have my Opera Link back! The functionality is better than stock imo, but the Desire Browser is still the best experience I've had on the Nexus. Although I'm trying out Cyanogen 6.1-RC1 and will be using Opera from now on :)

The miui browser can't block ads. I can add a urlfilter.ini file to Opera Mobile the same way I can with Opera on my desktop and ads are blocked.

Working on getting it to use a custom style to reflow the page so that blocked ad space is used and not just a bunch of empty negative space. That part isn't working so well :p

Same thing happened to me and I freaked out. Well there is an icon that turns the brightness to 0. You just have to remember approximately where it is. It is one icon above the bottom right icon (vibrate/silence icon). So just estimate the location and slide it over to the left. I got lucky because it took me a few tries.

it should find it on its own, when it does, volume up for yes to update.

then yes again to reboot.

that's it....

Thank you so much!!!! :eek::D

Still curious as to why I didn't work. Don't want to have to contact you to make me a PC36IMG.zip every time I want a new splash screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
the person who made this splash made them to be adb pushed. It is a rgb565 file. To make the flashible zip, it has to be convertedto a disk image and you also need the android-text file. If you ever want a custom splash, just hit me up on my thread (link on my sig) or pm me....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fmedina2:
I appreciate it very much. Is there a way to adb push them other than the fastboot method?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
not with the PC36IMG, but the file you originaly had can. Not really sure where its pushed to but i think the thread you got it from has directions somewhere.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Karadorde:
I ran into the same issues when I first tried to flash a splash screen. I found out that I needed a different hboot.img. Phones came with several different hboot.imgs including .76.2, .79, .93, and the most current 2.02. .76.2 is referred to as the engineering bootloader. It gives your phone extended fastboot commands which allow you to do things like flash splash screens. If you still run into problems then you might consider changing your hboot.img and see if that helps. There is a whole thread on it in the dev section. I highly suggest paging through the whole thread before you do anything. We encountered a lot of problems but also found a lot of fixes as well. Good luck sir.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jefbal99:
You can keep the existing zip file that was created for you. Take any image that is ready for the fastboot method, rename to splash1.img. Then place it in the zip and drop into the SDcard. Then Hboot and flash :)

I guess the H is for both 3G and 4G/HSDPA+...kind of sucks that there's no easy way to differentiate between those two imo. I'm guessing they did that on purpose, so that people wouldn't realize how much of the time they are really only getting 3G speeds on this '4G' phone.

On that note, I've been running speedtest and generally only getting around .5-.6 mbps d/l around the house. While driving to a few places around the city (Kansas City) today, I did get up to a max of 4 mbps, but mostly more like 2-3 mbps. Are these reasonable real-world speeds?
