/edit: Got it to work, had to format the SD card from the phone

I've been searching for an answer for this for hours and haven't seen anything here or elsewhere so my apologize if I've missed it (a little bug-eyed now)

I had to replace my HD2 due to the touchscreen no longer working so I'm trying to roll back the phone to its stock status but I cannot for the life of me remove the HSPL. I've followed the instructions and put the RUU_SIGNED.NBH (renamed to LEOIMG.NBH) onto an SD card and started the phone by holding down the volume down button. It boots into the bootloader screen but nothing else from there. Its like it doesn't see the file on the SD card to flash the rom back to the shipped version.

Right now the screen says

PB81120 HX-B3

SPL-2.08 HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

Using the RUU_SIGNED.NBH from this file: RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship

What am I missing here?

how did you make it at the end?

I know there is an app that lets you use the whole image as the wallpaper. Unlike the stock one that only lets you stretch the view field so far...

Thanks bro
[Captivate General] s13envy:
i've looked around this forum for hours..there is a tooon of info on here and im just tired of trying to sort through this.

first off, i recently updated my captivate to froyo 2.2 and lost everything i had on my previous rooted 2.1. before i did the froyo update i made a complete backup with titanium backup. My question is, can I recover that back up on 2.2 if i reroot my phone and run titanium?

if so, whats the best way to root the captivate on froyo 2.2?

sorry for the noooob questions, but all the information on here is a little overwhelming. so i appreciate any information you guys can give me with as little flaming as possilbe ;)

thanks
[Captivate General] dq13:
I think all ROMs (2.2) are rooted since they are all custom made by devs. just install titanium backup and restore
[Captivate General] s13envy:
I dont see any superuser permissions (or whatever its called) in my app drawer. And when i try to run titanium backup it wont work
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Did you load a rom or just flash 2.2? If you loaded a rom made by a dev it would be rooted. As far as getting your stuff back all you need to do is use a one click root and run tibu. Or find any 2.2 rom and flash through cwm and run tibu.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate General] s13envy:
I just flashed the leaked version of 2.2. Do you happen to have a link to the one click root for 2,2. I found a couple threads on here. Thanks in advance
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
You can try z4 root from the market or try that gunmans thread for one click root in the dev section. Im in my phone so its not easy to give links.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate General] s13envy:
Thanks man. I will do some looking. I appreciate the help
[Captivate General] s13envy:
well i just tried the one click root method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and now the phone doesn't seem to work. the phone starts and loads the homepage but i dont get any signal. i'm going through the process of unrooting it and it seems to be stuck. :( i knew i shouldn't have messsed with this. hahah.

any information to help guys?
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Stuck where and how. More info is always helpful
[Captivate General] s13envy:
well after i did the root and restarted the phone the superuser was there but it wouldn't allow access to titanium backup. so i tried to do the unroot process and now the program is stuck on removing superuser.apk. the phone will will vibrate every so often and the screes pops up "sorry. process system is not responding."

any ideas?

Try to pull bat and reboot. good night
[Captivate General] s13envy:
update. i unplugged the phone and restarted it...everything seems to be back to the normal unrooted froyo 2.2. im wondering if i did something wrong when trying to root it or what. I've read through the thread and seen some users have had some troubles.

btw, im a pc user.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
My opinion is go back to stock research custom roms
[Captivate General] CHorden:
Use the Z4 from the market. Much less messy.
[Captivate General] s13envy:
ive searched the market for it and havent been able to find anything
[Captivate General] CHorden:
It was removed from the market. However, it's available here:

[Captivate General] s13envy:
I downloaded it but i can't install bc its not a market app?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Here give this a shot. No promises though as I have only used 2.2 custom roms. Rename to update.zip, Copy to phone and reboot into recovery and reinstall packages
[Captivate General] polarbee:
You can also use the Sideload Wonder Machine to install non-Market apps and rooting isn't necessary before hand.

[Captivate General] s13envy:
good info here guys. its good to see people that are actually willing to give out helpful information instead of saying "search newb!!!" all the time.

right now, im having problems with my pos computer installing the phone driver files. its been stuck on the installing screen for ever 10 hours now. its not frozen though, the progress bar is still moving. i'm probably going to reformat and recover my laptop and start working on some of this stuff.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
I think all anyone wants is that you try to search first before asking. ;)
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Would be nice but hey whats ya gonna do :D
[Captivate General] s13envy:
I spent a solid 2 or 3 days of searching around and reading. Like i mentioned, there is soooo much information on this site. Its a little overwhelming. I didn't want to be the noob posting all the questions that have already been answered, trust me. I thank everyone for any assistance already given :)

Current versions of Windows do not work on ARM type processors as the G Tablet uses. Microsoft has announced that ARM support will be incorporated into their next Windows release however. A quick Google search will give more information on this.

I am new to Android and this is my first device.... Previously, owned HTC P3600, HTC Diamond 2 and now got the HTC Magic today.

I read the Development section and question section...

Just want to confirm the following about it:

Q:1: Is SPL must for custom rom or root can do it for me?

As i read in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756918 that it is optional but like in windows it is must to load custom rom... :) confused!

Q:2: Do the company radio works or i have to load custom radio?

Q:3: Is android too easy to brick as far i remember my all last windows mobiles come alive again what ever i flash to it....?

My Device currently running:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yes it's easy to brick if you just start flashing things without doing your research. The best/easiest way to root is to use one of the many programs available that will do it for you without the risk of bricking. I'll let someone else comment on upgrading your radio, but I can tell you that you will not have to update it. There are ROM's that will work with that radio just fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
You should just follow the instructions for your particular device. Since there are dozens of different MyTouch devices and many of them are different in a variety of ways then it can be argued that there are better methods bearing better results than others. In a nutshell, there is no universal answer to your question. Being unfamiliar with your SPL (HBOOT-1.33.00.10???) I can't even begin to point you in the correct direction. Can you verify that information please?

In most cases it is recommened that you have an Engineering SPL for fastboot access. From there you can easily flash a custom recovery which in turn will allow you to flash a custom rom (along with making system backups, data wiping, etc) but neither are hardly a requirement. Radio? Again... depends on what you have specifically. Some roms require a certain radio or it will fail to even load. And only certain devices with certain SPL's (yours being 1.33.00.10???) can use certain radio types. The danger comes in when you attempt to flash an incompatible radio with the wrong SPL. This is why it is crucial to verify ALL information before beginning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mustking:
Any recommended SPL for mine device...?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I believe the OP meant to put 1.33.2010 for his SPL but I don't want to speculate. Could you please post your fastboot information again and double-check that it is correct.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mustking:
Yes, i rewrite it.... Here is the details....

I have no plan to **** my SPL or radio and play with it later like football....

So, i am happy that i have now rooted and custom recovery installed... Any easy guide to load the rom?

Thank you everyone....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Download ROM, copy to root of SD card, boot into recovery, select flash ZIP from SD card, select ROM .zip file. That's the general idea, but some ROM's require that you flash extra files. For example CyanogenMod will require that you also flash a Google Add-on file.

Any rom that don't require any extra work and flash directly?

Just wanted to give some insight, but my vibrant, even with voodoo 5 and nero 3, while fast, still has a 1 second delay (black screen) between opening apps. I have checked that voodoo is enabled, but there is always a delay between opening apps. Coming from a nexus one, I expected the same instantaneous openings, perhaps a I/O problem?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
Is the blurry image display problem for incoming and outgoing calls fixed? I know the image doesn't look blurry if the contact has facebook account. But that image looks stretched hence looks ugly. Plus only few of my friends have FB account. Still I prefer to assign my own collection of photos to my contacts. In 1.6, the image displayed in great resolution.

I read about SE Sync solution but when I set up SE Sync account my Google contacts don't get sync'd from phone to SE website where I thought I can update the images. I have to create new contact on SE website and add image there. So, I basically end up with duplicate contacts grouped as SE Sync and Google Contacts which is a pain to maintain as I prefer to stick with Google Sync. But, even that solution has the same problem as with Facebook image problem which looks stretched from top to bottom.

I know about some apps that display high resolution images for calls but SE style is very cool. That feature worked so flawlessly in 1.6 and is such a basic and most visible feature. I guess SE developers and QA time completely missed as they probably used SE sync, Facebook, or never cared about using images for contacts.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
the blurry images are an android problem, not SE

How come pictures updated with Sony Ericsson Sync on http://www.sonyericsson.com/user or Facebook don't have problem except for the aspect ratio issue?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Presumably because it's not using the google sync app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
Even if you don't use Google Sync, if you just create a new contact on phone and assign a image to it, we see the same issue.

Anyone know which folder has the images that get displayed when we make a call? Maybe replacing those files with higher resolution photos will solve this issue.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
use the timescape pic, it's fine. when you create a contact, it syncs to your google account. once it's sync'd, it will be blurry. if this was an SE issue, you would not see this issue on EVERY 2.1+ HDPI device.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raundown:
can you explain a lil further? what do you mean by timescape pic
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
I am amazed reading about use timescape pic. First, I am talking about contacts who don't have Facebook or Twitter accounts. They don't show up with Timescape pic for my firmware version and I believe it must be the same for all. Second, even if you use the Timescape pic the person in the picture looks thin and tall as the picture aspect ration is stretched at the top and bottom. AND I am talking about the display of picture while the we are on call with the contact AND NOT when you view Info screen of the contact.

So I tried to search the forums for help on this and didn't see anything, but if I missed something I apologize.

I'm trying to find a thread for someo one new to flashing roms and kernals for the Samsung Facinate. I've already read how to root, load clockwork, and backup my current system. Now I would like to start to learn how to flash different roms. Is there a thread anywhere that has this? Also I see a lot of roms with DI101 or DJ05 or different ones. What does this mean? I see my build ends in DI01. Is that what it is? Can I load roms with other numbers? Can I upgrade mine? I hope this gives you an idea of where I am. Thanks!
[Fascinate General] exnihilo:
Up at the top of this forum you'll see a sticky titled Fascinate Sticky Roll-Up Thread **Check this thread BEFORE posting**

Also, since you are not developing anything, you should not be posting new threads here. Post questions in fascinate general
[Fascinate General] tr0yz:
if u click the sticky tab (that's if your using tapatalk) there r many informative links to how to root - how to apply roms - a very detailed link to a list of all roms. Check it out also at any developers forum don't post a question in development. Always post those under general discussion. Or tips and guides if there is 1 that is named that goodluck
[Fascinate General] Graviz13:
Thanks for the info on where to post. I'll use that forum going forward.

So I've read through all of those posts already and I can't find the answer to my question. What are the Di01, or DJ05, etc? Do I need to be concerned with them when choosing a rom? I though they were kernals but when I goto phone info I don't see that info listed under kernal.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Those are the baseband revisions.

The phone initially shipped with DH12, then was updated to DI01. DJ05 and DL09 are both leaked maintenance updates that haven't been released.

When choosing a ROM you need to be sure have all matching components (ROM, kernel, modem). So if you want to flash a DJ05 ROM, you need the corresponding kernel and modem

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
You don't use system.img on nand. You need to create a yaffs.img. Which I've never done before. I've only made builds the sd way, not nand. Maybe all you have to do is rename the .img after you create it. You should jump on irc, room #htc-linux-chat. You would get your answer in like 5 secs;p

NAND ROMs do use system.img, have a look in any NAND ROM, you'll see system.img, boot.img and the flash files.

Yaffs is the filesystem...I created the img files with the "mkyaffs2image" command.
