Keep in mind to the best of my knowledge, since the days of the old chunky Kaiser II phones HTC has decided to produce their phones operating only on two bands of UMTS (3G or HSPA). The HTC Desire HD sold by VHA runs only on 2100Mhz & 900Mhz UMTS. The HTC HD2 sold by Telstra (as opposed to the European import version) for example only runs on the 2100Mhz and 850Mhz. So in short if you are using a Desire HD running on 3 or Vodafone and wanted to change to Telstra I think you would only be loosing 3G or HSPA coverage since Telstra doesn't run any 900Mhz UMTS reception and your phone can't use Telstra's 850Mhz UMTS.

Okay so back on topic... firstly thanks to the guys who've provided their backup stock roms. I too have jumped partway into the rooting process of my VHA bloatware Desire HD. Seeing as the guided made no mention of it I'm now a bit surprised to realise that if I need to restore the ROM for warranty I'll still be left with the modified h-boot or other modified crap that could show up to VHA techs if the ever checked. PLEASE can anyone put together a guide or some directions on how to restore either the full original stock ROM or the stock ROM that's been done after using Visonary then how to put back any h-boot or leftover traces of modding/rooting. If anyone even if you're new to this process would like to put together a guide I would greatly encourage you to as it's better than having no guide at all and trying to work it out and possibly brick the phone in the process. I'm sure other more experienced users could correct your guide on anything as well if you needed it. Thank you.

O... dear... I'm also looking for a complete & safe guide to root & backup the current rom from VHA on DHD. I want to get rid of those VodaJunks. Does any one know where I can get a good "HOW-TO"?

Cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] silashack:
OK

Assuming you have a rooted DHD with custom rom, I would expect you to have clockworkmod installed?

If you have, then all you need to do is find the backups you made, you did make backups :) on your SD

clockworkmod\backup\2010-11-17-19.22.52 etc

and then using the files from the OP, replace the ones in your backup folder

Then do a restore and you will put back the Vodafone image to your DHD

As for the boot issue, I am still trying to fully understand the ones hidden in some of the posts, when I get them sorted I can then make a better 'guide'

Hope this helps a little, maybe offers pointers

What state is you DHD in?

Is it rooted?

Do you have rom manager installed?
[Desire HD Android Development] silashack:
OK nearly there...

With a rooted DHD...

You need to remove clockworkmod, to do this you need the correct recovery.img file, AGHHH just found this post that covers most of it

what about restoring the original radio

i dont think i took note of what my orginal radio was
[Desire HD Android Development] silashack:
OK hope this helps

Download this http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3x1c6v6hj it is a stock vodafone 1.32

on your sdcard

under the folder clockworkmod\backup

create a new folder johnkor

extract the files from the download to that folder

\sdcard\clockworkmod\johnkor\nnnnnnnnnnnn etc

you should have the following files

17/11/2010 06:48 AM 12,672 cache.img

17/11/2010 06:48 AM 4,224 data.img

17/11/2010 06:48 AM 2,112 .android_secure.img

17/11/2010 06:48 AM 459,011,520 system.img

17/11/2010 06:48 AM 222 nandroid.md5

17/11/2010 06:45 AM 4,194,304 boot.img

now go into rom manager and select

Manage and Restore Backups

select johnkor and you should be ok

Let us know how that goes

At the end if this you will have a stock vodafone 1.32 on your phone ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE, DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY DATA YOU NEED TO KEEP

nice work silashack

so if i ever needed to resend my phone back to vodafone for repair work

i would just need to flash this and the phone would be back to 100% stock correct ?
[Desire HD Android Development] silashack:
Nope :(

You would still have eng s-off radio s-off and probably clockworkmod instead of the original recovery

BUT :D You can also restore them back

Whilst still rooted you need to remove clockworkmod, this is done by replacing the recovery partition with a genuine one

Then useing the tool for radio soff you s on and reset the CID to VODAP021

Then replace the hboot with an original

The above steps NEED it to be rooted to give you permission, THEN your rom would appear to them as if you had done a factory reset

OR IT APPEARS THAT WAY, CAN NOT BE 100% CERTAIN WHAT VODAFAIL CHECK :D

I have found out this from trial and error, and most of it is posted on here, but it is all over the place, I am in the midst of building a cheat sheet to be able to do it 100%

I'm a massive noob but basically when I try flashing this ROM via Clockwork Mod it says:

"installation aborted" and wont flash the ROM.

My Phone is rooted and I was previously running Mike's Android revolution ROM.

I have no issues flashing other ROM's only this one.

I've tried everything I know how, plz help, thanks.

Not as simple as installing the rom and away you go, you'll also need to:

Check/install original 3 radio, Put back stock CID & Radio S-on, Put back stock H-boot & Eng S-on, and then be certain you are unrooted.

This tutorial will help, substituting voda for 3 where needed:

[General Questions and Answers] r.strauss:
After long searches I cannot find anything for my problem so :

I have a Samsung Omnia Gt i8000 and use a WM 6.5.3

cooked ROM based on JH2.

When I switch from vibration to ringtone the volume goes to 0 and this is a bug

of WM not yet resolved.

Switching vibration/ringtone is not a problem, I resolved this with a Morscript script, but it remains one thing :

the icon on the taskbar does not change and remains the same.

I need to find the registry keys (to insert in the Mort script) to change this icon.

Anyone has a solution ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] miancule:
Hi, people.

I'm facing this weird issue - applying any .tsk theme reverts the overall look to some variation of the Classic Blue theme (gradients and stuff). I monitored and there are only partial registry changes under [HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today].

Still, if I rename the .tsk to .cab and install it, it seems to be working - not always, though.

I'm on a home-made 6.5.3 ROM/Touch HD, which is pretty basic and stock like, I really don't suspect anything related to that.

From what I remember, this was an issue on several custom ROMs I tried.. but I can't find any info on this.

Any hints ?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuffy11:
Hi -

I regretfully managed to drop my X10 in a toilet last night.... It's been a good 9 hours since at least and although initiallly it turned on when I started to charge it now it wont.

Now the red light if flashing when it is connected to the charger, and the screen is evidently a bit moist around the edges... EDIT: the phone just turned on so part of the issue was the battery being dead, but the screen slowly got darker and darker before switching off...

Is there any test for the phone company to see if it's water damaged?

Also, if I were to call them up and say there was an issue, I know they'd replace it with a straight exchange, so they wouldn't check it first.... Is it safe to do that?

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
FIRST THINGS FIRST :

TURN OFF THE PHONE. NOW. Don't hang around, pull the battery out and DO NOT PUT IT IN.

Circuits are fine when in water, it's the corrosion and also when they have an electrical current put through them that the problem arises (when wet).

This WILL be tested when sent back if you call up and claim fault. The quickest way to visually test water damage is simple. Take off the back of your Xperia and at the top, exactly center (right above the camera) you'll see either a red and white chequered square OR a full red square (possibly part red/white but blotchy).

This SHOULD be chequered red and white but with water damage it makes it all red. Simple. No chance you can claim non damage now.

SECOND.

Put the phone in a bowl of rice(uncooked white rice). Now put the bowl of rice in a warm room or cupboard (preferably where your boiler is for your house?) or on top of a heater.

Leave it overnight and if it's on a heater DO NOT TURN THE HEATER OFF. Don't put the battery in the bowl, keep the battery separate and cooler but also make sure to avoid any water areas with it.

You could be lucky (I'll assume you will be but only time will tell) and this could fix it. It's worked on all my previous phones that I've water damaged (funnily enough I've only ever water damaged SEs) and also a few other circuit board based things I've used (one of them being a laptop!).

Please turn your phone off the SECOND you have read this post. Quickest way, battery pull.

Follow all the above steps and you should have a working xperia again.

Last note : if you dont have a heater to place a bowl of rice & xperia on top of, sit your phone in an empty room, turn a hair drier on and lay it next to it on medium heat setting on the lowest speed blowing against the phone. Should work too but make sure u can shut the door (annoying noise..)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuffy11:
thank you so much for your advice. I'll give it a go. I don't have any white rice, just brown, will that make a difference?

Of course I'll go and buy white rice if I need it!

The square at the phone is blotchy.... but mostly red. you can still see slight shades of white though.. is this possible without water damage?

Also from what you've said, I really shouldn't have put the phone to charge. I think I left it charging for ast least 6 hours so now I feel like I've ruined it by doing that..

Thanks again )
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuffy11:
Just another update. after almost 5 hours in the rice I inserted the battery and connected it to the charger. There was an improvement from before in that the phone turned on and stayed on, ALTHOUGH th screen was flickering, and it really wasn't responding very well - I couldn't actually unlock the device.

There's a visible different in the water movement though, in that there seemed to be some spread around the whole screen initially, and now it's in a small part of the bottom of the screen.

Any tips?

Also, could someone clarify whether Vodafone would class it as water damaged?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forzanerazzurri:
No offense, but your phone is toast. Rule number one is to NEVER turn on a water damaged device for at least a day after the incident. The phone was probably fine until you plugged it in.

You'll have to be on the hook for a new one. Your phone was water damaged and will not be covered under warranty.

Also, your grammar needs improvement. I found it really difficult to follow what you were writing because it made little sense.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
1. Diasassemble the Phone and put the PCB for 24hrs in 99% Isopropyle Alcohol. Not 50%, not 70% --> 99%.

2. Then take it out and let it dry for 48hrs.

3. Now reflash it (the SW is/may be corrupted).

I reanimated 80% of 200 Water-, Beer-, Pool-, Toilet-, and so on damaged Phones I repaired in the past...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yetep:
Hey tuffy, sorry for the absence was at work till 10 last night then went straight to sleep lol.

I was going to give you similar advice to McKebapp however I thought the easiest option would be to give you common-to-find objects and make it easier as actually locating 99% Isopropyle is next to impossible unless you know exactly what it is!

Anyways, brown is fine - rice is rice it still takes in water. Only issue is it takes boiled water in at a rate almost 150 times faster than luke-warm or cold (which is what the water inside your phone will be).

If at all possible, do what McKebbap said but maybe avoid putting the PCB in alcohol, stick to the rice as it's bone dry and although, theoretically, so is the alcohol it'll be easier than trying to clean it all off afterwards.

If you can't dismantle it down (basically we need as much air-space between the PCB and well.. the air/rice!) then just put it back in fresh rice and leave it with the back off and battery out for another 24 hours or so, again in a warm area (needs to be warm for the water to rise).

Please, DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON WITHIN THIS TIME. Personally i'd actually be quite inclined to leave it for about 3 days but changing the rice (or mixing it) each day.

Good luck mate.

Oh and to answer your question : it's not possible for it to become blotchy or anything other than just squares of red/white without water buddy. it's designed for phone companies to , at a quick glance, check water damage cause guess what, besides dropping the phone, is the most common return reason ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
Each Pharmacy should have it for sale.

They maybe ask for what you'll use it.

Simply tell them the truth (cleaning electronics) or say, you'll need it to clean guitar strings from colophony.
