Same problem

I am having the same issue trying to install win 7 from stock 6.5

Installed HSPL 2.08

I have all the files in the folder.

DWI, Data, Rapidtool, and bootloader.

I connect the phone, select active sync.

then run DWI, it reboots the phone into the bootloader, the phone says USB at the bottom, then thats it..

DWI gives

Error Description: USB init failed

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (1198)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] reeg420:
Had the same thing happen to me 3 times. I've updated my phone twice and my girls once in the last couple of days. I got this error everytime on the first try... But I just left the phone plugged in and tried it again and it worked. I just figured I was over zealous and didn't wait long enough after I plugged it in.

I have noticed a couple of people not saying anything about magldr.

Order this needs to be installed.

1. HardSPL 2.08

2. Install magldr 1.13 or 1.12

3. Install wp7 via DWI.exe

by any chance did you get this figured out. I am using a WP7 ROM that you could dual boot w/ Android by DFT. Now i am going to update and Flash the newest version of WP7 and when i do it get that same error every time. so i tried some other things and now i can't flash anything, i get that error every time.

Another possible fix

In addition to the CustomRUU fix I also installed this for Windows 7 64 bit which fixed it for me. I think the driver for WMDC was messed up and I also was unable to change USB settings in the connection settings.

Greetings all!

Ever since updating from 2.1 to 2.2 my phone (i9000m) has not been able to acquire a GPS signal. I tried everything I could find on xda and online to no avail. While the 'Test GPS' application was able to identify satellites, none of my applications could (not even Google Maps!). Miraculously, I stumbled upon a solution earlier today. Once I turned off my Wifi (and I don't mean 'Use Wireless Networks'), my GPS started working instantly. The signal locked on FAST and was ACCURATE. I don't know why this happens. Maybe the Wifi interferes with the GPS? Anyways, I decided to share this right away in case it could help others with a similar situation.

P.S. My GPS settings are stock settings other than my Accuracy, which is set to 30m.

Hey i just wanted to know if there is a way to focus the camera in wp7 becouse it's all blurry?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] agarp:
Yes im having the same problem

camcorder is working fine
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kailkti:
Unless we get a sort of focus implementation like in android then it's just like that. The camera was designed to have a button which could be half pressable to focus, and then when pressed in fully, takes the picture. Obviously we don't have a button like that so, a touch sort of focus needs to be implemented for us, until then, pictures will be blurry for now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Wdave:
Wonder if a person could create a double tap to take a picture app..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tiratira:
'double tap' amazing idea!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] antonsb:
Solution to problem

Quick'n'dirty Workaround to Autofocus:

1. Before taking the picture, switch to video mode

2. Wait for the camera to refocus ~1 second - you will see the image sharpness change

3. Switch back to camera mode and take your picture

This works because the camera will simply retain the focus distance that the video camera set.

So, until Microsoft implements touch-focus (which they really should) we could just use this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NEDSTER1972:
quick you have to be like lightning to take a picture as it starts un-focusing straight away.

By the time you press the button you have moved the phone so its blurred & camera is already out of focus.

Must be an easier way.

Please please please someone design a fix for the camera.

I loved the panoramic shot aswell on hd2 but everything is gone.

Video is great but camera is poor.

Thank you

Maybe a possible solution could be map the focus function (the half click) in another button? :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
I think the solution is because we don't have a two position button is to do touch the screen to focus and then take the shot. But that probably requires a lot of coding.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] THUDUK:
Until this is sorted, I think its a major flaw with HD2 and WP7

Use the camera a lot, unless its bright sunlight the camera just will not focus.

Luckily I can dual boot, lets hope for a fix of some application that uses touch screen to focus
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] elyl:
It's possible the focus could be mapped to one of the volume buttons within the Camera app.

This would likely depend on the half-press on native WP7 systems having its own key mapping, separate from the full-press, and the Camera app listening for each keymapping separately. We'd just need to hack the keymapping for the half-press to the volume button. This is, of course, if WP7 still deals with keymapping the way earlier versions did.

Also, if the Camera app treats the camera button as some kind of special case, and rather than 2 mappings for half- and full-press, it has a single mapping, it'll likely need a major rewrite to support focus on the HD2.

Fingers crossed it's just a case of searching the code for keypress 0xC1 and replacing it with 0x76 (for example).

640x480 is not good enough.

It will be unlikely we'll be able to map this app to replace the internal Camera app completely.

Will 3rd party apps, like barcode readers, be able to use this app?

Hexediting the native Camera app and changing the key mapping, and cooking it into a new ROM would be much better.

That app shows promise, though.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Kailkti:
Well one solution if we are to implement focusing through buttons instead of touch, is that we have the call button when held down, focus, and then the camera will take the picture after we've released the call button.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] IcePanther:
That's the behavior I thought would be appropriate too.

A touch screen focus would be even better, cause it would allow, like on WinMo 6.5, to focus wherever we want on the picture. But it would require a more coding than just adding a press-to-focus/release-to-shoot behavior.

The SHCameraApp is nice, but its resolution is limited, and it would be nicer to have a single, integrated app to do the photos and videos. Nonetheless, it's a nice workaround for the time being.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mr.boonet:
Hi,

I have this annoying problem regarding waking up my device when its locked. Normally i should press the power button, or the trackpad as im running virtuous rom, and the screen should give me the lock screen. But this does not happen, intead screen stays black, the keys on the bottom do light up, and it registers my touches on the screen as i can put the music player on again.

This is happening for quite some time, but lately its more often and its really frustrating me because i have to hit the power button for like 10 times in a row before it finally goes on again.

When it stays black and i put it off again, touching the power button, moste of the times the screen will flash the lockscreen and go black again.

Ive tried to find a sort of system in it, like a period of time or somthing like that, but it seems as if its completely arbirtrary when it happens and when it doesnt.. Only thing i remarked was that when it's off for a longer time, it will have more chance of getting on the first time then when its off for a shorter period...

Any suggestions to fix this evil thing?

cheers

This is a very comman problem.

what you need to do is setting up a screen off profile on setCPU

[G2 and Desire Z General] Utorrent76:
I agree check your screen off profiles. Also try not to oc too high. You might also want to install the pershoot kernel if you haven't already. I had this issue when I fist installed the virtuous rom & switching kernels and tweaking my cpu profiles resolved this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mr.boonet:
Screen off profile doesnt help, What does work is less oc'ing it... stupid thing is i can only oc to 902 mhz for the screen to turn on all the time... Thats like not oc'ing it at all ><... I'm on the virtuous kernel now, will try the pershoots in a min, i'll keep you updated
[G2 and Desire Z General] mr.boonet:
Oh sorry, screen off profile does help, didnt enable profiles in a whole :P ... pershoot kernel helps a lot, with that one and the screen off profiles, i can oc to 1517 and even then its just not going on very rarely... thanks for the help... Only thing thats regrettable is that the pershoot kernel does not have the smartass governor ...

EDIT: I realised i didnt enable the profiles while using the virtuous kernel either, so i installed that one again and guess what, it works!! Every single time i hit that power switch it goes on like it should... what a relieve :D thx guys

Am I suggesting something blazingly obvious when I say "press the search button on the front of the phone"?

um, yeah, i always use the search capacitive button to invoke search its just that for some reason it doesnt search contacts even though people is sleceted under searchable items, i have to manually change it to search people only. it could be something to do with the fact that i am using adw launcher instead of sense.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:

I highly recommend Android Revolution HD 2.0.6 non-OC version.

There's currently a few problems with the OC kernal version (YouTube and video playback is broken for some) but the non-OC version is blazing fast anyway and I'm sure it wont be long before Mike (the ROMs dev) fixes those small issues.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] kinkade:
awesome, i'm going to give it a try when i get back from work, did you flash the new radio that he recommends?

also how necessary did you find a full wipe with this coming from stock?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
Yeah, I flashed the latest radio last week when still on AR 2.0.3 and it's seems like a good one.

I did a full wipe with the tool provided in the thread when going from stock to AR 2.0.3. I learned from my time with my old HTC Hero that it's usually always best to wipe unless updating the same ROM from one version to another, even then sometimes a wipe is still needed. It usually states in the change log of each ROM though, but in your case I'd definitely do it.

It's an effort if you have loads of apps and want to keep various settings etc, but this is when Titanium Back-Up and Google contacts sync saves the day ;)
