they are also selling lots of batteries and wall charges

it was about time. :D

please let us know if its worth it :)

wow the black one looks better than i though.

it actually matches the phone.

how different are these going to be than the AMZER cases on Amazon? I mean, its $2, I should probably just go for it.

Amazing cheap case

I had this case for about 2 days and i find it amazing. It has a mat finish in the back and tight fit all around, doesn't look like there is a case on the phone. The case also makes the phone less slippery in the hand. Best part its $4. :D

Link to ebay
[Nexus S Accessories] terra_droid:
For me, the shipping is 8x the cost of the case. Wow. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] babluc:
WOW that is crazy, but its a good case with tight fit. The top also has the same black "piano" finish and makes it look like theres nothing on it.

Standard eBay trick. I've seen Nexus S's sold for $40-$50 with $899 shipping. Buyer beware!
[Nexus S Accessories] DKYang:
Not really a trick. Ebay takes fees from the price that is sold, they don't touch the shipping fee. So the seller gets more money back, but of course, the buyer has to know if the price is outrageous.

[Off-topic] boss19:
Hello,

I am new to the forum and just wanted to take a brief moment to share my experience regarding sim unlocking my HTC HD2 from TMobile USA.

I read throughout the forum that the unlock code can be obtained through TMo but seeing that I'm in Canada, that wasn't an option. After reading through the forums, i noticed one of the senior members had recommended HTCCODE.COM so I thought I would use their services.

After paying the fee and sending my phone's info, I did not receive any response for several hours and I thought it was bit odd considering they advertised "instant unlock", "unlocked in under a minute". So I followed up with a couple more emails to the administrator of the site but once again, no response. I figured I would turn to site's forum for some solution or help... unfortunately, it was littered with perverted posts, spam, and former disgruntled customers. Seeing that I had obviously gotten myself into a dead-end situation, I thought it best to file a dispute through Paypal. After doing so, surprise, surprise, I finally received a response from the admin saying he was just about to process my code but noticed I had filed a grievance... and he was in the midst of exams and that's why he couldn't moderate the forums :confused: So after some back and forth conversation he finally replied saying that the "most up-to-date" (advertised on homepage) database failed to come up with the code but if I (only) pay an additional $15 (total would be now be $35 USD) he can probably procure the unlock from the newest greatest most-most up-to-date omnipotent database! ... I called BS and demanded a refund!!!

Anyways, I'm not going to belabor my story as I'm sure you can figure out where this is going... long story short, after making a few additional requests for a refund, they finally credited my account today.

Finally, just to bring closure to the story, I went to ebay and used CELLSFORLESSNYC ($24.99), where I contacted the person before paying and he was good about replying quickly and answering my questions. In the end, he sent me a working code within about 30mins!

All in all, my recommendation is NOT to use HTCCODE.COM under any circumstance, if you want to be hassled, send ME the money instead and I can give you the run-around for a few days:D You're better off spending a couple extra bucks and use a faster, reliable service!

As an editorial, I think the whole sim-unlock system is a joke. Personally, I don't think there's an "old database" ~$10, "new database" ~$25, the rule of thumb through my experience (esp on ebay) is, if you have a new phone (up to a year old), expect to pay $20+ regardless of what the adverts say.

Good Luck, and remember:

HTCCODE.COM SCAM

HTCCODE.COM WARNING

HTCCODE.COM SUCKS

HTCCODE.COM TERRIBLE SERVICE

HTCCODE.COM DO NOT USE

HTCCODE.COM NOT MY RECOMMENDATION

HTCCODE.COM AWFUL
[Off-topic] xdunlapx:
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sure it'll help some people. :)
[Off-topic] salecg:
Same problem with htccode.com!

First I've sent 15 eur from their site (via Monyebookers), and then he asked for additional 11.55 eur as for "new exclusive database, bla bla", beside that on site is stated:

I've sent that difference via moneybookers to his e-mail address. Then I've received some unlock code that was bad. After few days he sent me some application that will 'digg' in phone to find code, because my "network are using different codes, bla bla". App not worked, I've tried it on 3 different computers so asked for refund. After days and days waiting and asking for refund, he finally refunded just 15 eur, and did not want to refund that additional 11.55 eur "as it was not sent from site"...

I'll try to make claim with Moneybookers.

My recommendation is NOT TO USE it as they are very unprofessional with this price rising!

Edit: finally today (13. feb) I've received full refund from them!

[Off-topic] AndyCr15:
Ha ha, this guys funny. At least when we get to see posts, we can identify idiots such as yourself.

Back on topic, I think there are quite a few warnings about this site scattered around XDA. I had him asking for more money after his claim of 'We unlock all HTC' and I asked for a refund immediately, which I had to go through PayPal to get.

PayPal should just close this guys account, it's basically a scam.

[HD2 General] luxxa:
Hi guys,

I'm so incredibly unlucky.

I had bought that amazing phone on december 2009, after 2 months it gone on water because of mom.

Fixed that by cleaning the phone with salt and rice, it worked flawlessly for 6 months,

Until october, it stopped working, without any reason. Sent to assistence, but ofc they said they couldn't repait it because of water.

One months ago, I've bought another one, used, from a Guy for 250€.

It was perfect, flashed hspl and latest energy.

Hd2 worked flawlessly until 2 days ago, it started freezing, and after 4-5 freezes and battery out-in... white screen of death..

what? noooooo... what's that...

I've tried EVERYTHING.

WITH HSPL

used only the SD method because using the usb with my win7 wasn't working, it remained stuck at 0% (and that screen didn't had the HTC green logo... weird)

-task29 -> WORKS, then WOSD

-hard reset -> still WSOD

-flashing new energy rom from SD -> WORKS, then WOSD

-flashing 2.12.50 and 2.07.51 radios from SD -> FAILS then WOSD

-flashing latest official rom with radio embedded from SD -> FAILS with the RADIO then WOSD

-flashing first official rom with radio embedded from SD -> WORKS then WOSD ( ????????????? )

After that, we have SPL 1.42

-hard reset -> still WOSD

-flashing HSPL 2 and 3 from usb -> FAILS... it says me critical error, bad model ID

-flashing with 2-3 official roms from usb -> 1% then fails saying me, Image File damaged... I've downloaded it 2-3 times..

WHAT can I do?

I have no warranty, **** me.
[HD2 General] luxxa:
:(

tell me is anything I can do..
[HD2 General] fred_up:
What make and size of microSD card are you using?

These official ROMs you downloaded, were they from HTC's website and did you use the phone's serial number to get them?
[HD2 General] luxxa:
I used an 8gb and 16gb microsd

Yes, they'are the official from HTC and I did use my serial number phone to get them
[HD2 General] fred_up:
There are known problems with using 8GB and above SD Cards for flashing. So either you can flash the oficial ROM via a smaller SD Card or put the phone into BootLoader mode and do it through the PC.

-task29 -> WORKS, then WOSD -It should be, as you have just wiped the O/S off the phone

-hard reset -> still WSOD - Still no O/S on the phone

-flashing new energy rom from SD -> WORKS, then WOSD - The Enegery ROM only contains a ROM and no RADIO, therefore it wont run untill you flash an approved RADIO

-flashing 2.12.50 and 2.07.51 radios from SD -> FAILS then WOSD - The 2.12.50 is ok for Energy ROM, the .51 isn't. The problem is with the SD card size.

-flashing latest official rom with radio embedded from SD -> FAILS with the RADIO then WOSD - The problem is with the SD card size.

-flashing first official rom with radio embedded from SD -> WORKS then WOSD ( ????????????? ) - The problem is with the SD card size.

After that, we have SPL 1.42

-hard reset -> still WOSD - still no O/S on phone.

-flashing HSPL 2 and 3 from usb -> FAILS... it says me critical error, bad model ID - I 've no idea why HSPL2 shouldn't have worked. Was the phone in BootLoader mode prior to connecting to the PC? Have you tried using the rear USB connectors, as I ocassionally had a problem with the front USB but it resolved itself when using the rear USB
[HD2 General] luxxa:
thanks you really much, you just gave me hope, and this it's truly important.

But the part that scares me, is that didn't want to flash the RADIO with the REAR USB.

I'm gonna try with the factory 2sd gb card.

I'll let you know.
[HD2 General] luxxa:
UPDATE:

As I can't flash radio because of SPL 1.42

I've just tried to flash HSPL2 and 3 with 3 different REAR USB port..

nothing to do :( still critical error, BAD MODEL ID

is this the only way to flash the HSPL?
[HD2 General] luxxa:
I've got an 2gb microsd card

Tried to flash 1.48, 1.66 and 3.14 official ITA roms

it gives me 00058002 error when it checks LEOIMG..

and I can't unblock that SPL 1.42 with HSPL...

suggestions?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
I would leave HSPL3 alone, as that was designed for the TMOUS HD2.

HSPL2 should be the one you use because you can select 1.42, 1.66, 2.08, 2.10 in either .0000 or .HSPL versions. Admittedly I used HSPL (version 1) to go from 1.42.0000 to the 1.42.HSPL as that was all that had been developed at the time. The advantage of HSPL(1) is that it gave you no choice, whereas HSPL2 gives you loads of options.

There may not be a problem with using the front USB ports on your computer, but it was a known problem on some computers. The same way it is advised to to try different USB cables. These are designed to eliminate known problems.

The 00058002 error is supposed to be an invalid ID error. But since you downloaded ROMs with the phone's serial number, it is unlikely that you have a wrong ROM - unless you are using the first HD2's serial number.

Why don't you run the 1.66 ROM from the computer with the connected phone in BootLoader mode?
[HD2 General] luxxa:
I have tried 3 different rear usb ports.

No, I'm using my latest serial number. And the first 1.48 rom worked, but now it's no more working.

I have to try with different USB cable..

Tried 1.66 ROM with computer in BootLoader mode, not working. it remains at 0% and get me 262 or 242 work, don't remember.

HSPL1

first time-> windows progressbar stuck at 3/4 then 0x8000ff bootloader still in USB

second time -> progress bar 0 then 0x8000ff again.. bootloader still in USB
[HD2 General] luxxa:
any other suggestion? :(
[HD2 General] prattitude:
I have the same issue with my HD2 .. sorry bud . . I am sailing in the same boat:(.

Same issues while trying to flash ship rom both from PC or SD card.

Same issues with HSPL, HSPL2 and HSPL3.

I am a tech savvy guy but I could not find any reading material on how exactly a phone works (eg: PC has BIOS which then loads OS). All I could get is that SPL is like the BIOS.

Is there any way I can load everything from scratch including SPL (everything's customized).

I am currently doing some reading on MTTY but looks like its dependent in HSPL. I will follow this thread and will let you know if I come across something.
[HD2 General] drmodify:
some suggest to try cooling the unit (wrapping it in a bag and freezing it, seriously) then flash

but if that don't work then radio fail and hangs just says that the hardware is seriously faulty and you have to send it for repair (costs about $120 or so)

Don't know if manual install would work but there you go the APK. (Try copying it with root explorer to /system/app, remember to enale RW in root explorer)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] heaven666:
Hello

I have one solution for you... You need rooted phone + a file manager like "root explorer" or "super manager"

First of all, download one zip rom and go into the archive in /system/app and copy "Talk.APK" on your sdcard. Next in the same repertory in your phone. Then it only remains for you more than to install it and that's all !

Bye

[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
If you're using root explorer you don't actually "install" them. You just move them to the /system/app/ dir. After you do that you'll probably have to change the permissions on the file. To do that:

long press the .apk

select permissions

select all of the boxes on the 'read' column (left column)

select the 'user' 'write' box (top middle)

uncheck the other 5 if needed

You'll most likely have to reboot afterwards and you might need to clear the cache/davlik in recovery if you're getting FC's

If they're still not showing up fix the uid apk permissions in recovery or terminal

Recovery:

other > fix uid mismatches

Terminal emulator:
