[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5haddex:
Tmobile UK HD2 with Cracked Dig/LCD, so I took it apart and bought a new lcd/dig. Put phone back together and I have a few problems.

Firstly to get the phone to turn on I have to plug in the mains charger, and then insert the battery. On doing this the phone powers up without me pressing the power button.

Screen light turns on but nothing on the screen. No button lights either.

I know the phone is on as I can use the vol up and down and the sounds are there.

I presume the phone works as the green light flashes to indicate I have a message etc.

Ive re-checked all connections and all are sound.

Only thing I cant check is the LCD itself.

Send the screen back ?

Anyone got an idea what could be wrong ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5haddex:
anyone help with this as I am without my phone on NAND DAY !!!

Further info: Phone defo working as I can flash Stock Roms to it no prob. Also syncs to my PC. Saw that the black bar than pushes down to hold the LCD ribbon in place has broken, but unsure if this is to secure the ribbon or does it make the connection ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freemini:
Hmm, it's possible it helps to make the connection... When you pull it it should secure the cable and at the same time make the connection better.. Try improvising, do something to hold the thing tight there.

Ok, above I can see exactly 5 "threads" on how to upgrade the 02 XDA IIs ie (HTC Blue Angel) to windows 6.5.

It clearly states DO AT AT YOUR OWN RISK, which has got me pissing in my pants.

I LOVE MY PHONE, but would also love to have windows 6.5 on it.

Here is the below info if it helps.

model number : PH20B

rom : 1.31.00 WWE

rom date : 12/13/04

ExtRom : 1.31.920 WWE

Windows Mobile 2003 Version 4.21 (build 14132)

Chef Tony and his tutorials are exhaustive : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630416

Hence, if someone could kindly give it STEP BY STEP or perhaps POST A VIDEO OF IT, it would really be helpful, as I really want to upgrade my phone.

Oh yea and one more thing please, silly question but where the heck is the record button anyways ? I need this info so I can enter the Bootloader Mode (pressing power+record and reset)

Kind Regards

Chef Tony has given it step by step very nicely. Upgrading a WM5/6 device

He says to skip the first 2 steps if memory shows as 60 MB something, mine shows 121, should I skip the first 2 steps then ?

He says : 6.b copy the contents of this package to the same folder: MAupgradeUt_noID - I guess I have to get the MAUpgradeUT-NOID.exe from someplace, anyone got a link ? cant seem to find it.

my rom comes with EXTrom - does that mean I skip point 10 ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rank78:
I'm wondering if anyone is using their EVO as a webcam with their PC, preferably using the front facing cam. I've tried a few options I found while searching but haven't had success.

WO Webcam looked promising, especially since it uses bluetooth, but I get the error "cannot load orange bluetooth camera device" when trying to connect my EVO to the desktop software. This might be due to me running Win7 64-bit because they don't currently offer 64-bit drivers.

USB Webcam is on my 'to do' list but I read a comment saying it doesn't use the front facing cam.

Fring appears to be strictly for the phone and doesn't act as a desktop cam.

Are there any other apps that might work? Only using the rear cam isn't necessarily a deal breaker but it isn't the best option when between the EVO's kickstand and my dock since the rear cam faces down and will require repositioning. On the plus side the rear cam is of better quality.

Oh, and yes I searched but the thread results didn't answer all my questions, plus new apps may have been developed since June.

Flash the ROM via recovery. I realize that's vague but you need clockworkmod recovery and to do that you need to have s-off. And to get s-off is a whole new thing all together because you need perm root :p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartenup:
To root it, s-off it and rom flash it, you have to be willing to accept the consequences if you don't read enough and if you make a mistake!

And, that's the key, read everything and keep reading until it makes sense to you. Then follow the instructions to the "T" make sure you know your builds and then it's a leap off faith.......if you don't understand something, ask a question or two.

thanks all, i really appreciate your fast response.

actually i just want to enable arabic support on my htc desire z, and i downloaded the arabic files from

http://ardoid.com/?p=189

and installed visionary and done the perm root with su permissions and get a # after typing su in terminal

i copied the zip files to the sd, rebooted and selected recovery, then applied update.zip, the phone rebooted but without any success of arabizing.

my kernel is 2.6.32.21-gd2764ed older according to wiki

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF

my question is, do i need to s off to get the files installed? do i have to remove visionary as a second step with removing rooting?

the status is that my phone has permaroot, and what i understood is that i am a step away from s off using gfree, i downloaded the file to my mac, and copied to the sd card.

i have super user

su

#

i have understood adb, and terminal, and copied the script but resulted with errors, script used

cd /data/local

chmod 777 gfree

./gfree

sync

error result on phone after chmod 777 gfree

unable to chmod gfree:no such file or directory

i have copied gfree.zip to sd card via mounting the phone via usb. and then changed the mode to charging mode automatically and enabled usb debugging.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The error you are receiving means you don't actually have gfree on your phone (at least not in the right location). Did you receive any errors from ADB when you pushed the gfree file? Also, be sure you pushed the actual gfree file and not the zip (you need to extract it from the zip first).

Are you saying you tried this as well? Or did you not actually use ADB? If you are trying to accomplish this without ADB, you might want to take a look at this thread for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903152. And again, you will need to use the contents of the zip file, not the zip itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microzift:
thanks for your reply, i checked the thread and more questions!

actually i am confused, i do the steps without getting the point of it, i installed astro, visionary 14, terminal emulator on phone, and adb on mac.

i dont know what adb is for, and i kind of understand that its for copying files from sd to phone internal memory? is that right? or does it have other functions,

its also not easy to understand astro, can it copy files from sd to internal memory?

do i have to drag adb to terminal every time for adb to run?

shall i use gfree or gfree_2 on my sd?

does terminal with su be enough or i have to use adb?or copying gfree to sd would be enough via usb mounting? where is data\local?

after my current understanding, i have decided to not use adb, and i have reached this step,after writing this script in the terminal,

got superuser for terminal emulator (ON PHONE)

su

cd /sdcard

chmod 777 the GFREE

./gfree

permission denied!

please let me know if i have misunderstood anything or if i am on the wrong track to s off.

i apologize for the long questions,

thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. It allows you to do a number of functions to your phone from your computer. The most common commands are push and pull (copies files on your computer to/from your phone) and shell (starts a shell terminal on your phone---basically the exact same as running the Terminal app on your phone, only you can type all of your commands on your computer instead). It also allows you to do things like install APKs stored on your computer directly to your phone and viewing log files.

Astro is simply a file manager for your phone. It allows you to do basic file management (copy, move, delete, create new directories, etc.). Some directories are read-only by default however (rooting the phone will allow you to, among other things, mount these directories as read-write---once rooted, Root Explorer is a popular file manager like Astro that will allow you to manipulate these directories).

No, this is not ADB should be used (it is a command line tool). Check out the various guides on setting up/using ADB.

See my next post for instructions on rooting without using ADB.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Permanent Root without using ADB

Extract the contents of gfree_temp-root.zip to your SD card (located on the Wiki). Also extract the gfree file from gfree_02.zip to your SD card. Note, you need to extract these files, not simply copy the entire zip to your SD card. Also, if you copied these files to your SD card by mounting your phone over USB, be sure to unmount it again prior to starting the remaining steps (i.e., turn off USB storage). Your SD card should now contain the following files: busybox, gfree, rage, root, su, and Superuser.apk.

Start Terminal on your phone (download from Market if you don't already have one) and type the following commands exactly as shown.

cp /sdcard/rage /data/local/tmp
cp /sdcard/busybox /data/local/tmp
cp /sdcard/root /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

Then run the following command if you need temp root (so not needed if already temp rooted with Visionary). It is recommended that you uninstall or disable Visionary though and use this method however (some people have had problems when using Visionary). If you want to use Visionary for your temp root, skip this step and just right to the permanent root commands further below.

/data/local/tmp/rage

You should see a message similar to "Forked #### childs." Hit Menu and select Reset Term (the app will close). Launch Terminal again (it may force close). Launch it one more time (you now have temp root).

Now to achieve permanent root, run the following commands:

cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local
chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
/data/local/gfree -f
sync

Make sure there are no errors from the gfree output.

Lastly, run the following commands (the root script will install Busybox and set up the su apps for you):

/data/local/tmp/root
sync

If you have no errors, reboot your phone. You should now have permanent root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microzift:
thanks, i could not find busybox, gfree, rage, root, su, and Superuser.apk on my sd after copying and extracting the zip files, the folders i unzipped did not also have the above files (gfree_temp-root.zip & gfree_02.zip from wiki, i do not have the above busybox etc files) i also kept them in separate folders on sd card; gfree and gfree_verify_v01

i think i have permanent root via visionary, i receive a # after typing su in terminal on phone. so i dont need rage i guess.

and after trying perm root as explained

cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local

i receive

cp: omitting directory '/sdcard/gfree'

where did i go wrong again!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If "su" is giving you a # prompt after a reboot then you have permanent root, yes.

Possibly a silly question, but you do have an SD card in the phone, right ? And it's mounted on the phone, not on the PC when you're trying these commands ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microzift:
thanks for asking, and thanks for clarifying the perm root.

regarding the sd, yes i am ok with mounting and charging mode, and i make sure that the phone is always in charge mode when using adb or terminal on the phone automatically when using usb. and only convert to pc mounting mode when i need to copy a file (like gfree or gfree veryfy) to phone sd card.

although i still keep the usb connected to mac in charge mode when i try terminal on phone (and adb is running). i disconnected to try and received the same error.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
When you are getting that error with the "cp", try "ls /sdcard" and see if you get a big list of files, which should include whatever you tried to "adb push" there (e.g. gfree).

You don't have to use adb to copy adb to the phone, that's just one way of getting it there. You could mount the SD card from your phone onto your PC and copy it there that way. You just need to get the gfree binary onto your phone somehow, then copy it to /data/local

I just thought - you are running that "cp" command on the phone in Terminal Emulator, right ? Not on your Mac ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microzift:
great now i get why i need to mount and copy gfree to phone sd, so that i can copy from sd to internal phone memory using terminal (on phone) or adb on mac.

yes i am running cp on terminal emulator on phone.

after ls /sdcard i receive

/sdcard

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Do not keep them in separate folders on the SD card. The files need to be on the root of the SD card in order for the commands I gave you to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
That is showing no files in your SD card folder. It sounds like it is actually mounted on your PC when you are running that, rather than being mounted on the phone itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microzift:
i have disconnected the usb from my pc, and still get the same message.

this is my understanding; mount sd on pc; means i can access the sd as a hard disk via the phones usb cable on my mac desktop.

unmounting; means i gain access of the sd on my phone only?

i found an option on phone, unmount sd card, should i do this every time i use terminal? i think this is for to unplug the sd card from the phone.

how can i get the sd mounted on my phone? i can see the same files via astro on my phone.

i still receive /sdcard

[A7 Accessories] Lindarose84:
Jazz- that looks like a pretty good case. Looking forward to your review.

I'm hesitant to buy a case like that for fear that the A7, with its huge bezel, won't fit in it. The bezel basically makes it longer than most 7inch tablets.

I ultimately just went and bought the Nook Color sleeve at Barnes and Noble. It took a bit of stretching to get the sleeve to zipper over the A7 but it fit nonetheless. Hopefully, in time, it will just stretch.

If I can get a case like that one on eBay to fit perfectly, I'd buy it.

I found one at Walmart: a black Griffin neoprene envelope-flap type case for $14.99. It's a snug fit but it works well, good padding and not a lot of bulk. There is no zipper and it *just* fits. Good for carrying inside another bag, purse, etc. but no belt loop or handle for using alone.

First off, download Titanium Backup Pro and backup ALL of your apps and other important data you want to keep.

Follow this link exactly, this will get you back to factory default settings and ROM and unroot you or delete any traces thereof.

THen use Titanium Backup to reinstall your apps and data.

This should clear any unknown problems in your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
I'm pretty sure that's not possible as Titanium Backup needs root.

To the OP, you described doing several battery intensive things so yes it's possible to loose 30% battery playing games and watching online videos. It's even more plausible if you have live wallpaper running along with e-mail updates and facebook etc.

For battery life I recommend advanced task killer from the Market. Have it kill everything you don't need running in the background. I don't kill my e-mail as I want the updates for example, but the choice is yours.

*Edit* Don't have advanced task killer on auto kill etc as that defeats the purpose.
