You can download it from mediafire, from that link.

Could someone backup the EFS on a GT-I5500? I got mine corrupted and cannot get it back.

To back it up:

dd if=/dev/stl5 of=/mnt/sdcard/stl5.rfs

get the stl5.rfs file on your PC, archive it as zip and upload it somewhere

Please send me the link in a PM.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Gameloft is giving away Dungeon Hunter HD for free today!

Good luck with that. I clicked the text it sent me and it linked to a page to purchase for $4.99. Guess you get what you pay for.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mrmilo69:
I downloaded it through Dolphin HD, based in UK. Try visiting the link directly from your phone, text gave me same result as you

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kwoodall:
Your hint helped. On my tab I went to the page URL listed here and then told it I was in the UK and selected Samsung GT-p1000 Galaxy Tab as my device. With these overrides I could do the download.

Gee...I wonder if there's a more simple approach to distributing their games that wouldn't have this problem. Something like an online marketplace. For applications...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomelements:
Scenario:

Orange Desire with Froyo

Rooted using Unrevoked

Stupidly updated with latest OTA update (2.17.61.3)

Now:

device boot loops when booting normally

trying to reflash recovery gives signature verification failed

When in recovery says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

How am I going to get this working again?

Am I going to have to resort to trying to make a gold card and flash a generic rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Do you have the OTA file on your PC? If so, rename it update.zip and boot into recovery.

Turn OFF signature verification and try to apply the zip file again - hopefully it'll work

If not, you'll have to flash a new ROM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Ive got the OTA update file if needed.

Are you seeing the clockwork recovery screen or the stock one (blue)?

Mike
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomelements:
I've got the zip. I'm seeing the stock recovery so can't turn off signature verification.

Had a look at the gold card tool - it can't get the CID directly so ran fastboot oem boot to get CID - it gives ORANG001 which the goldcard tool site says is an invalid CID.

Any other ideas about making a goldcard?

I'm trying to reinstall the update ...

Phew - that did it. I'd tried once before but it didn't work.

Yesterday i used Titanium Backup to back up my files. After this i copied them to my external sd folder.

Then i did a hard reset.

After this reset the files were in the ''.android_secure'' folder.

They had the extension ''.asec''.

I don't know what to do now?

Can i still use those files?

Thanks..

Sure you can

Sure you can use these files;

Before, your internal SD was mounted as /mnt/sdcard, now it is mounted at /mnt/emmc

So move your Titanium Backup folder from /mnt/emmc -> /mnt/sdcard

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilwilwel:
There are some steps which you need to do:

- read into the threat of installing HSPL

it explains everything in a logical manner.

HSPL is needed to install a custom ROM

- read into how to install a new RADIO version and look which RADIO you need (wrong version can corrupt your installation)

- read into how to install custom ROMS. A few good ones are Miri & Dinik v19, Artemis and some other stable and fast ROMs with some eye candy

But you wished you hadent change to HD2? Why is that? I truely think its the best phone out there atm. You can have custom ROMS, Andriod/WP7/Ubuntu/W95 or 98 and Meego ports on your SD card wich work almost as a native system. There is no phone with that much OS options. Soon there will be a native Andriod install in the NAND of the phone. This phone is hardly restricted from modivying, I would say not at all. Which you cant say from other phone brands or the IPhone which in my eyes is like driving a Ferarri with a Driver and a communist with a gun (Steve Gay Jobs) in your neck .. it sucks like hell and your scared to death they'll brick you if you modivy something which you bought and can be considerd your possesion. The urge of controll pushed by Apple makes me sick and avoide buying any Apple products.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilwilwel:
thats not nessecary when you update the stock rom, HTC updates those mods in their new updates so its not neccesary. If you continue searching you prolly will find some cabinets (WM6 installing packages what will change it for you.

hi,i installed the updated rom from htc site & ive installed hspl2 so now i take it i can go ahead & install custom rom yeah ?

thanks for your help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Sir if you mean with "the updated rom from htc" = stock ROM 3.14 you need to know that stock ROM 3.14 isn't compatible with HSPL. (remove HSPL!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenf2210:
hi,thats the rom thats already on the phone at the moment,ive only installed hspl2 on the phone and not tried any custom roms yet,if i install another rom on the phone do i need to install a new radio version also.

sorry if i sound stupid but im new to this phone & im finding it very confusing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
There are no stupid questions, only the response can be stupid :D (Ow that's mean's me :o)

Okay lest start from the beginning.

In case you have a T-Mous device you can ignore my previous communication about HSPL.

But in case your devise isn't a T-Mous device; than you need to remove HSPL.

HSPL in combination with stock ROM 3.14 gives you only +/- 50MB of free program memory and gives lot of issue.

So in this case you need to remove HSPL before install stock ROM 3.14.

In case you use stock ROM 3.14 on a non T-Mous device you can't use HSPL so that means your radio version will stay 2.15.50.14.

Hope with this information it's more clear for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenf2210:
hi,the htc hd2 i have was originally on vodafone but the phone is unlocked to take any sim card now,i installed the very latest rom update on htc site which was the vodafone rom,the only rom it would allow me to install with my serial number,ive done nothing else but install hspl2.

cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
In your case you have a branded device, and HSPL isn't working well in combination with stock ROM 3.14 you need to use the GoldCard Technique to be able to install 3.14 stock ROM correctly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
@Kurt unless by 'the latest from the site' he means the 1.66/1.72 rom,,,, he never mentioned 3.14,,,, in which case all the 3.14 vs hspl talk is just confusing the issue. He said he flashed the rom THEN installed hspl2, meaning it cant be the 3.14 rom, because hspl wouldn't have installed.

@OP enter bootloader, look by 'spl'.

If it says 1.xx.0000 or 2.xx.0000 or 1.xx.hspl or 2.xx.hspl then you can flash anything,. rom or radio, cooked or stock,(plus hspl2, of course) but not 3.14 roms. (You will get the 50MB issue kurt mentioned running a 3.14 rom on any of those.)

If it says 3.03.0000 then you can flash 3.14 based roms using SSPL.

Oh, and re: the warranty, , , once you have flashed the rom (forget 3.14 for now) you can immediately remove hspl using hspl2.exe, voila, warranty restored.

Someone correct me if Im wrong but an unlocked vodafone Hd2 will be hspl'ed anyway wont it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
network lock completely unconnected to rom locked. even once it's unlocked, it is still rom locked, and the opposite is also true, applying hspl to a network locked phone will not allow other sims to be used.

The battery has swelled up but ive checked it with multimeter and its giving out 3.6vdc , which is full battery power + - .1vdc.

Screen came on breefly and was just white. Then next night i had a look it came on and showed the Orange start up but never loaded up, once i removed batt. i hasnt come on again

Reason i stopped using it was not because the batt. swelled up, because i only noticed this a couple of months afer getting it back out to try to get it to work, it just packed up one day., but it holds all my work details ,so i need it.

[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
I noticed that when I boot up my mini and I don't insert my code, I can still use my phone. As in browsing through my emails, sms, foto's, files, etc.

The code's only function seems to be making the connection with a network.

Is this a flaw on htc's side or is something not right with my phone?:confused:
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
PIN protects only your phone line.
[HD Mini General] SilentlyScreaming:
You could enable the device lock, I believe setting a time out of 0 minutes forces you to input your chosen password when you turn the phone on. This means you'll then have two passwords/PINs to enter each time you soft reset (assuming you keep your SIM's PIN enabled), but if you're concerned about privacy, it is an idea. You may also want to consider encrypting your microSD card.

Excuse me butting in to a non-familiar sub-forum, I was attempting to find the wiki page for this device, attempting to help someone buy their first smartphone.
[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
yeah i tried that, but then it asks you for a code everytime you unlock our device as well and that becomes a pain very quickly :)

It's not that this bothers me that much, I just think it's strange the phone's protection is this weak :)
[HD Mini General] SilentlyScreaming:
If it didn't ask you to enter the PIN when you unlock your device or use ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre, then your data would be at risk if the phone was stolen whilst it was turned on. I see where you're coming from (I've stopped using device lock for this very reason), however all the HTC devices I've owned have behaved this way, possible it is a Windows Mobile behaviour?
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Not a WinMo problem. This is specifically an HTC problem.

The WinMo locking feature is supposed to be able to set time criteria. For example, set it to 4 hours. When you boot up your phone, it goes to ask the password once. Then it won't be asking it anymore until you reboot your phone again, or until you didn't move your phone for straight 4 hours. You can set different number of hours for this effect.

All my other WinMo phones from 5.0 to 6.x does this thing perfectly. Only my first HTC unit, this HD mini, won't allow this simple feature to work correctly as intended. HTC somehow tweaked this basic WinMo feature, and broke it. So now, if you enable the lock feature, it ask for password each time you come out of standby, no matter what situation, no matter how long or short your phone was on standby. Very annoying. Making it useless.
[HD Mini General] MobileMini:
Yeah sometimes you wonder how did they screw it up so much :(?

I really think its better to build a Rom from scratch, I also miss the normal functioning windows start menu. They crippled so much... its almost pathetic...
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
HTC screwed up many of those simple and beautiful stock WinMo apps, features, and configurations. Not just this one.

I don't really get why they did this. Maybe to discourage you from using stock WinMo apps? Or maybe they're just plain dumb dumb and dumber?
[HD Mini General] SilentlyScreaming:
Ah, now I understand the problem. Have you tried other locked apps? CHT's version / S2U2 etc. ?
[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
I don't know exactly what you mean by using other apps, but if your question is if I can use apps or shells without entering my PIN my answer is yes.

If you were aiming at the unlock code popping up everytime I put my phone on standby, it's a hardware button so apps don't affect it I guess :)

you can still use the normal windows start menu, just disable sense in the settings :)

it makes your phone a hell of a lot faster and although it's not that spectacular to look at, it's much more functional than sense :)

i've been using spb mobile shell since a few weeks after i bought my mini and it's made my phone a lot nicer to use.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
I have read that in other versions of Andriod, you could access the browser settings by entering this into the address bar:

about:debug

You should get a blank page, but then going into the settings would reveal previously hidden settings. This doesn't seem to work with the stock TnT browser.

Anyone know how to access this browser's settings?
[G Tablet General] tristanwolf1134:
Because TNT and zPad do not use the default settings.apk file, you will probably not be able to access this. You might try on CM6.1 to see if it works there.
[G Tablet General] wasserkapf:
Thanks. I was going to try to access Hulu by changing a setting, but I understand that they already closed that hole.

The browser does seem to identify itself as being in a Mac. That in itself may drive me to install a custom ROM! I don't want anybody even thinking that I use a Mac!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Its right at the bottom of the screen on top of the P in Phone on the HTC dock. Now i've heard that for a pixel to be stuck, it should be only one colour. But the weird thing with mine is that it appears to be a different colour depending on the angle i look at it from. It changes from green to red, and i think blue too. Is this stuck or dead, and anyone have tips to sort this?

Im kind of annoyed because my phone is only 4 days old. And i don't want to send it back because shipping could be costly and take weeks to months.
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
I have fixed stuck pixels in the past by pressing quite hard on the screen and "massaging" the spot. Be careful not to press to hard, but it can take quit a bit of pressure. There are several causes for stuck pixels, and this wont always work, but from what you have described, this probably will.

You may have to apply pressure slightly offset from the pixel.

Good luck!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I dont know how hard to press, im scared i could do some damage to it. The screen feels like glass so i dont think im reaching the pixel..
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
DO it when the screen os on, preferably with a white background. Press untill you see the colours go funny.

Its pretty sturdy dont worry too much about breaking it. I havnt actually done it with a DHD, but i have with an iPhone and a G1.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
i wouldnt press on the glass lol, your risking breaking it then warranty wont be covered you might just have to either live with it, or send it back to handtec asap.

seems like you got a bad unit stuck pixel and sim gap cover, still surprising since mine is from same handtec batch as yours and its 100% perfect
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
No matter how hard i press, the colours dont go funny. I know what you mean by this, i have a stuck pixel on my laptop too and applying even a little pressure and the colours change because the screen isnt protected by glass, but by plastic. But doing this in the DHD is another story.

Do you have a Desire HD JamesBarnes? Could you try it yourself? Pressing on the glass until it flexes seems far too risky imo.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I think i'll live with it :( Im in no mood to send it back and have to wait even more.. i guess im cursed because all my gadgets get stuck pixels. My old psp, my laptop, and now my DHD.
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
I just tried it, and had the same result, no joy. I guess that means its well built though ;)

See if you can find a stobe application, sometimes rapidly changing the colour can fix a stuck pixel too...
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
There are certain screen fixes you can run in the browser which flash the colours very fast which can unstick some pixels. I've used it before on a laptop. Just google for stuck pixel fix. Not sure if they will work with the refresh rate of a phone screen but its worth a try.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I downloaded an app called JScreenFix and let that run for 25 minutes. It changes the colours of all pixels rapidly. But still no luck.
