If it's under warranty they will ship you one within a few days and you put your broken one in the box and send it back. All on their dime.

Were you upgrading to the 3.14 ROM from T mobile's website when it crashed? And you are saying that your phone was perfect prior to the upgrade? What ROM were you running before the upgrade? Do have Hard SPL or was this stock?
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Tried this but was unable to download the file. Also tried going to the site and logging in etc with the login given but it looks like the page it was on has gone back to the hosting company, did someone not pay their bill? :)
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
It was in fact to the 3.14 I assume since all previous updates had been done.

This...... hmmm....... I think it did say HSPL 2 on one of the colored screens.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
If you do have hspl on it, you want to remove that before sending it in for warranty as hspl voids it. You should be able to download an official tmous rom from this site and just go to bootloader, hook up to computer and flash official rom.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
The links in the above mentions post do not work. Can someone provide a link to a working stock ROM?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
You want to download the stock rom from Tmobiles Wmupgrade page... Then follow these directions. Flashing from microsd will overwrite your Hard SPL and you can send it back no problem. Or if it actually just works, you are good to do. After that you can flash Cotulla's HSPL3 and start rockin again.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Downloaded the file linked in the first post. Took the fat32 formatted MicroSD out of my Bold, it is 8GB, and moved the file to it. Put it in the HD2. Started the flash, failed on Radio_V2. Flashing again now and it is taking forever and stuck about 1/8th of the way, about 5 minutes into it thus far.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
not on their dime, It will cost you $10 for shipping in the states
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Stalled but didn't say failed. Attempt #3........ update in progress yet status bar is not moving thus far.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
What is a best guess as to how long a flash should take?
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
SPL 2.10.000 is what is on it btw. I was mistaken.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
I had a warranty replacement and did not have to pay any shipping at all. They sent me a refurb in a white box with a return shipping label in it. I put my broken phone in the white box and then applied their return label and sent it back out...

Have you ever returned a phone that is under warranty with T Mobile?
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
You are confusing 2 things. Through HTC you are responsible and they try to fix yours, through T-Mobile they send you another phone and a pre paid label.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Try a Task 29 from bootloader, then try to flash the ROM again via microsd... Sounds like a nightmare. Sorry dude.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Bootloader stays at "Serial" now even with USb on front or back of PC. Firewall on/off does not matter. Even better. Sigh.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Task 29 form the card...
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Doesn't even fire up from the card right now anymore. Just goes to the bootloader and says serial. Hard reset still works but doesnt restart in the end due to the corrupt rom.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Indeed. I got the impression you bought is new since you new exactly how new the phone was. :) Carry on. Sounds like your SPL is legit and it's time to just get a warranty replacement dude.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Was bought new for 449. Signed up with T-Mobile but the service wasn't hot at all so kept my AT&T line still running, hadn't ported the # yet til I made sure the service was ok. Ended up just keeping the phone and dropping the service. It's been a locked desktop radio for 2 mos basically until this happened.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
That is so ****ty...

You should flash HSPL3 from your sd card. Then Flash task29. Then try to flash the 3.14 ROM from Tmobiles site from your SD. If that works, then flash HSPL3 again because flashing the stock rom form the card will overwrite your SPL that you just did.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Sent it back to them. It is HTC's responsibility to keep a working product so before I even consider looking into anything else, I want to be assured I have a working HD2. I don't want them giving me reasons to not cover it when it should have been, if that makes sense. Down the road, who knows. I can tell you this, I am unimpressed with Windows Mobile thus far, had it on non touch screen phones and stylus phones in the past, thought maybe it would be better on a touch screen...... nope. I am also disappointed that WM7 won't be on it b/c of a physical button issue, way to go Microsoft.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
It's lame as hell out of the box, but with Sense and Cookie's Home Tab, it's actually awesome. A real easy way to get it awesome without installing everything yourself is to install a cooked ROM that contains CHT. Most do. Sense is always on there except for some of the new ROM's that are stripped down for people who strictly want to run Android from their SD card and not boot into Winmo at all.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Didn't have much of a chance to really use it since it took a vacation after the update, or during.

HTC has received it as of yesterday, not sure what their turnaround time is but I will keep everyone updated.

Thank you for all of the help from everyone BTW. :)
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Received tracking info tonight in an email, looks like it is on it's way back. No calls, no issues, so we shall see. Hopefully I have a fixed and working phone again.
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
Expecting it back Monday. We shall see. At least they use FedEx, my trusted carrier. :)
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
is it back?
[HD2 General] Lucky736:
I did get it back today, just got home. It returned in an ill fitting box with no note of what was done yet it was working. :) Also........ I can honestly say that Windows Mobile isn't very good still. :)

NAND Android huh? Hmmm....
[Hero CDMA General] shyam101:
ok what I thought was stupid is the LG optimus S has the 90% same specs of the hero how the hell can it get 2.2 and our hardware our htc hero is 1-2 years old(i think 1) not even been in for long enough and it cant get 2.2 when LG optimus can?! (offical 2.2 froyo not the roms) so stupid someone should just port the LG optimus S to the hero and then we can tell htc the 3rd finger
[Hero CDMA General] raymond4:
I agree as well
[Hero CDMA General] shyam101:
I swear this might be my FIRST and LAST HTC phone I have ever bought.. I'd rather go with Samsung so far their doing great with their android galaxy series
[Hero CDMA General] raymond4:
Is the mytouch 3g almost like the HTC hero
[Hero CDMA General] shyam101:
is it made my htc?.....lol no
[Hero CDMA General] raymond4:
I just thought they were similar
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
I think the primary issue is using Sense. Since the Hero is a Sense device, so on top of getting 2.2 perfectly functioning, they have to modify Sense to be compatible as well, and that is just something they don't want to invest in.

Lol Samsung support their top-tier Galaxy line is not a good comparison against HTC and their low-mid range Hero. Samsung was responsible for one of the worst debacles in Android support history, promising 2.1 for Behold II users and then all of a sudden abandoning support after releasing 1.6. HTC is much more consistent, not to mention their build quality is the best in the industry.

Yes, the MyTouch 3G is made by HTC. MyTouch is just T-Mobile's branding, it is originally the HTC Sapphire or Magic. The MyTouch 3G and Hero are very similar devices, actually.. same CPU, similar amounts of RAM, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] shyam101:
But were talking about the htc hero on this fourm not the mytouch 3g =/
[Hero CDMA General] raymond4:
I know this topic started with the LG optimus S and the HTC hero. The only reason why I asked about the mytouch 3g was because my friend said they weren't similar and I just wanted to know. Sorry for adding the mytouch 3g into this topic.
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
The Galaxy-S series is their flagship more "high-end" series of phones, not to mention way newer, not really a fair thing to compare (they are doing great with not rolling out 2.2 updates for their new phones, that's for sure :p).

Also, why are you not blaming Sprint at least a little bit about this? They are the carrier, afterall. Hero could receive 2.2 if they wanted it to, I'm sure.
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
The Samsung Moment, on par with the Hero with a little better hardware, isn't getting 2.2 so your argument for Sammy being better is invalid, sir. Also, the Legend is getting updated, and when it does, the devs will be all over it like a hobo on a Ham sandwich. Then the Hero will have sense 2.2. If that's your thing. I'm quite happy with my AOSP rom, though.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
Googling phone specs, the Hero and the Optimus S are very similar hardware-wise. Not sure about the MT3G, I didn't search for that one...

But as c00ller mentioned above, the Optimus S isn't running SenseUI, hence why it already has Android 2.2. Developing a fully-working 2.2 SenseUI release takes HTC longer to work out. And I'm sure HTC wouldn't let Sprint release plain regular stock Android 2.2 (without SenseUI) for a Sense-based device, which is why the Hero doesn't have it even though it's already available on other similar phones.
[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:
I like HTC too much to leave, and it's already official they're not releasing 2.2 for the hero ;)
[Hero CDMA General] shyam101:
Sorry meant alacy series
[Hero CDMA General] mulhiny:
not quite so similar..the Optimus has a more up to date processor that runs at 600mhz and almost twice the ram.
[Hero CDMA General] boiker:
As a former moment owner, I agree the hardware is better, the processor is faster. but the radio lock-ups (total phone and data lock up only resolved by pulling the battery), poor gps, exceptionally bad batter life and other software/hardware integration failures were too much to handle. Stock or Custom Rom-- it didn't matter. 3D performance is abysmal on the Moment. You think angry birds is bad on the hero? Try 1 frame every 1-3 seconds on the Moment.

As bad as the problems with the phone were, when it worked it worked very nice. Working was interrupted by very significant bugs like the radio lock, which happened daily (heavy data user/exchange/streaming/etc).

I recently warranty swapped the moment over the hero and couldn't be happier
[Hero CDMA General] mercado79:
I have to agree with you, T-Mobile made the call in regards to their "No Phone Left Behind" policy. I assume that they must pay extra to get HTC to support "legacy" devices. Sprint on the other hand has decided to focus on their new phones. You'd think the support would last at least as long as the contract you sign with them. That would make most sense.
[Hero CDMA General] nick_danger:
My wife upgraded from her MyTouch 3G (T-Mobile) to the Hero (Sprint), on which which I quickly rooted and installed CM6 Froyo. The Hero runs 2.2 beautifully, tethers with Barnacle (Hulu and Netflix on road trips!) but the fact is that it is noticeably slower in EVERYTHING compared to the LG Optimus S, especially games (comparisons done live in store).

They have similar CPUs on paper, but the Optimus S is definitely faster in practice. It's like comparing two laptops because they both have Intel CPUs. One is a Celeron, the other is a Core i5.

I'm getting mine on Black Friday at Best Buy for $1.00. :)
[Hero CDMA General] simon.ponder:
Optimus S has a dual core

The reason that the Optimus S performs better in practice is that it actually has a dual core processor 600 MHz application / 400 MHz modem processor. Look at LG's site. Click on the specifications tab.

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/LG-LS670-Purple.jsp

Oh yeah, mine arrived at my house yesterday, and is waiting for me to activate it when I get home. I am still keeping my hero for development purposes though.
[Hero CDMA General] aqualls:
Being a former moment owner, I think I'll stick with the other manufacturers for quite some time. My hero runs every bit as smooth as my moment and with no data lockups. Had to do battery pull 1-2 times a day, without wifi running at all (which was claimed to be the issues). Now I get every text including all my picture mail not just one every once in a while. Crap radio. Had an LG years ago. It was the original Chocolate with Verizon. Went through four in a year. Circuit board fried and they couldn't figure out why. Little leery about LG now too. Point is, I like the way my HTC runs so think I'll stick with them a while. H
[Hero CDMA General] ahecht:
The Optimus also has a much better GPU (I've heard it's the same GPU as the N1), which makes a huge difference in games and overall responsiveness.

Posted from my HERO200 while waiting for the UPS truck to arrive with a new Optimus.
[Hero CDMA General] Marlowr05:
I had a Samsung moment and I hated it....very slowwwwww, laggy, and over all didn't like all of the samsung problems. I currently have a HTC Evo and love it..

P.S. the wife is looking to sell her Evo and is either going to get a HTC hero, or a LG Optimus S.
[Hero CDMA General] brokentoaster24:
how much does she want? I have a hero i could trade too
[Hero CDMA General] add119:
Their doing so great that their taking sweet time on update i pass. Htc doesnt take longer then samsung on updates. Plus, samsung device are to fragile for my hands.

In one year i would need another phone with their quality. If i want toy phone their an iphone for that, with more memory.

Htc rocks not my opinion based on fact look at forum and people who purchase Samsung and Htc device to see it.
[Hero CDMA General] cp0020:
if you go on the HTC website and look at their phones the mytouch 3g is listed in there as one of there phones
[Hero CDMA General] add119:
Remember lg ally for Verizon in late May preloaded with 2.1 os. No update yet, LG is doing Samsung move this year.

My Optimus S rips on my Hero. I loved my Hero but once I started using the Optimus I couldnt look back. It is oc'd to 806 and is amazing :)

PM me and we can talk there about it.
[Hero CDMA General] ltlover21:
wow

i have an optimus s but i thought the hero was better, but it has good duribility and speed and has decent sound....i have alot of apps and still works like its new. it has good battery life that lasts pretty much the whole day with active use, i recommend it

[Hero CDMA General] dastin1015:
There was a reason the thread died. It was no longer relevant. Please try not to bump a dead thread because it's better to have alive and active threads at the top. Same thing in Development and with people bumping dead android 1.5 ROMs and whatnot.

Ok thats fine
[Hero CDMA General] Vonrottes:
The mt3g (magic) is pretty close to the hero.

Msm7xxx 528mhz

256mb ram (on mt3g1.2) 192mb on original.

Back on topic, the updates are up to the carrier and mfg.this case would be sprint and htc. (Vodaphone magic got 2.1 sense, tmobile magic got 2.2 vanilla.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Hey guys i really need some help here, my phone won't boot up and it won't recognise my sd card. I've only got fastboot and recovery.

I'll explain as best as i can how it got this way;

Firstly i tried to s-off my desire so that i could upgrade to amon recovery 2.0, but it got stuck on 3rd step waiting for flash to complete after sorting that out by flashing a new rom, i proceeded to flash the recovery and that went fine. then i created a nand backup and decided to test the s-off by flashing a custom splash which also went fine but then i rebooted and downloaded leedroid2.2f and transfered it on to my sd card but when i rebooted the phone when into a small bootloop before booting into the phone but it was failing to recognise the sd card so i tested the sd card in my hero and it was working fine. the phone wasn't being recognised by the laptop as it ws asking for certian drivers so i rebooted into recovery and did a full wipe (like an idiot) and now it gets stuck in the boot animation with no logcat output and as it can pick up the sd card i can't flash a rom.

I hope some one can help me get my desire back to stock at least so i can send it off to htc if there is any hardware problem

Can i also add that my desire was orange branded had a slcd screen its original hboot was 0.83 and i don't have a goldcard for it either

Edit: I solved it and my phone is back thanks to guide by shockem on another thread, i'd also like to apologise to any mods for opening a new thread (kinda panicked) i'll look around properly before i open a new thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
hey guys now that my phone is back to stock has it got warranty back? seeing as it's an orange branded phone but it has a stock unbranded rom also its sim unlocked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
If Orange takes care of your warranty, I suppose you must flash an Orange branded RUU before submitting it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Yeah but theres no orange ruu and i can't use my usb port. I only have a goldcard which i made last night so if anyone can create a pb99img.zip for a stock orange rom i'll be grateful or if anyone can tell me another way of flashing a stock orange ruu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
That ZIP can only be extracted from an RUU, it's not something you can 'make up'

I'd go back to HTC direct and see what they say
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Yeah i realised that, seeing as i got my phone running now i've done some searching and i believe my usb is bricked, theres a guide on modaco to fix it but it requires for me to be rooted, the problem is my phone is slcd and originally had boot loader version 0.83 and the bootloader atm is 0.93. Is there a way for me to root the desire to attempt this fix?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
its definitely a usb brick as i've enabled sd card functionality. I jus need a way to root the device now any one help me out?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can't, unless VISIONary is working on the Desire

If you wanna try a newer ROM and see if that fixes things get the newest PB99IMG off of shipped-ROMs.com - it's the version of 2.29.405.2 and you'll need your gold card to flash it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Just tried with VISIONary it goes through the motions and su app is there but doesn't seem to have given root as any app requiring root doesn't work. I'll have to pop into local orange shop and see what they say if that doesn't work can you tell me how i would get it back to HTC
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You'd send it back to HTC as per the warranty card details I imagine, never had to send anything back to them before
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
SOLVED

Manage to get it done using this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15

make sure usb debugging is ticked and also copy the files to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/ only, there is no such directory as shared_prefs
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Only way to get stock orange ruu on it is go to an orange store and ask them to reflash the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Thanks but that would have been hard without a usb but it doesn't matter i've fixed the usb brick and re rooted my phone, fortunately i had made a nand backup just before everything crashed so going to restore that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Assuming Orange have the RUU it wouldn't have been hard, but they would've needed the SD card working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fezy:
Thats true but i don't think flashing the RUU would have fixed the usb brick but its all good now i have learned alot over the past 24hours and hopefully i won't come across this situation again but just incase it does happen again, atleast i'll know what to do. But thanks for your input i really appreciate it :D
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
So with the new warranty and insurance plan that sprint did, would i be able to take an old phone that has rsa keys messed up (aka no 4g), and get a replacement for free or do they send it back to manufacturer and they fix it? And if I do get a replacement is it a refurb or a new one?

Or do I have to pay 150$ to asurion to get it replaced?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Hello, I am not inexperienced with all the epic mods so I can understand most of what's being explained. Long story short had to odin my epic back to stock. I only had time to root it, not to put clockwork back on from my computer. I'm stuck on 24hr duty now and I have all the files from clockwork on my phone. I want it back on so I can use my favorite rom while I sit here. So... is there any way that I can install clockwork from either terminal, or through stock recovery? Thanks ahead of time.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Ps before I get the why didn't you search. Well I have... I can do it manually through adb but I don't know how through terminal if it's possible. Or hopefully someone can point me to an update.zip compatible with stock recovery
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Install Rom manager then flash clockwordmod from it
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
I can't because I have the stock kernal.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
But you have root, right? Try it.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Not recommended - ROM Manager's install method is hackish.

Use the One Click Clockwork flasher. Unlike ROM Manager, it drops Clockwork right in bml7, where it belongs, replacing the stock recovery. No custom kernel needed.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
I have tried rom manager. Several times. Each time it tells me it has an error with downloading clockworkmod recovery.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Lol, I would but my entire problem is that I do not have a computer at my disposal. I appreciate the responses though.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Also, I was wondering if there was a way I could use the one click script in terminal?
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Oh and I got rom manager to download the file but when I try to update.zip from stock recovery it says somthing like cannot be verified as whole file.
[Epic 4G General] mikel719:
I has the same problem as op. Its best to do the one click root with clock work mod in it. I found it to be easiest after many problems with z4root and rom manager. You will need a computer though.
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
Thanks for the try guys. I ended up getting to a computer and I'm back on track.

Hi Everyone,

I'm litterally thinking about getting a Streak in the next day or so off eBay, but I've been holding off until Froyo was available. Now that Froyo is officially here (for some) can someone confirm how well the native Exchange/ActiveSync service is running, I have Desire ATM, which works just fine so I'm hoping it will be a nice and easy transition (yeah right! Lol) if I were to get the 5" beauty.

TIA
