[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
Hello everyone, hopefully you can help me figure out what's wrong with my HD2.

.:BACKGROUND INFO:.

I bought a used TMoUS HD2 a couple months ago and it was working fine up until last month. At first, it would freeze and I would have to do a battery pull, but as time went on, it froze more and more often. One day, I think it froze around 20 times in a row. Eventually, I let the phone sit without the battery for a few minutes before I tried booting it again. When it did boot, I figured maybe there's something wrong with the software, so I did a hard reset. After the hard reset, the phone will boot into the desktop and then freeze (If I'm lucky) or sometimes it will just freeze on the T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen. I tried flashing a the stock ROM and it would always stop at 8%.

I've always used the stock ROM since I got the phone, not sure if the previous owner flashed it before, but it does have HSPL 2.08. The only thing I've done to the phone are the registry tweaks I got from these forums. Here's a list of applications I installed to my HD2:

Chainfire 3D Driver Update

Co0kie's Home Tab

appelflap HTCRamDisk

ATT WAP MEdiaNet and MMS Settings

Band Switch V2.8 Auto Disconnect Data

Battery Increment Display 1.66 ROMs

CleanRAM

ClearTemp v1.3.1

GoogleMaps

JayVee Disable Clock Flip

Long Press Send Key Alt Tab

RAMDisk Opera Cache

TCPMP v2 Video Audio Player

TX Opera Mobile 10 Flash Support

WM Long Life 0.66. 0302

Not sure if this is relevant or not, but the last thing I remember installing was Co0kie's Home Tab before the freezing started.

.:HD2 SPECS:.

OS Version: 5.2.21892 [21892.5.0.89]

Manila Version: 2.5.20121412.2

Rom Version: 2.13.531.1 [90963] WWE

Rom Date: 04.28.10

Radio Version: 2.10.50.26

Protocol Version: 15.39.50.07W

.:THINGS I'VE TRIED:.

Flashing a Custom ROM via USB will stop randomly at different percentages depending on which ROM I flash. I've tried a few different ones.

Flashing the stock ROM

(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via USB always stop at 8%.

Flashing the stock ROM

(RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship) via SD card will give me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail). I've attached a picture of this error.

Since flashing the stock ROM via SD Card gives me an error (RADIO_V2 - RSA Fail), I decided to flash a new Radio (Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14), but it gives me the same error. (I've also attached a picture of this error) I haven't tried other ones because I'm not exactly sure which ones to try and I don't want to brick my phone...if it isn't already bricked yet.

Can anyone suggest some Radio that's safe for me to try flashing for my TMoUS HD2? I'm really out of ideas on what to do besides that, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

***EDIT 1*** (01.21.11) - Tried Task29, went all the way to 100% but the phone fails to reboot. Flashing a ROM after Task29 doesn't work :( Also added a picture of the bootloader screen.

***EDIT 2*** (01.21.11) - Added a list of radio and ROMs I've tried flashing in post #9.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
You can flash any radio with .50. in the name.......

NEVER flash a .51. these will brick your phone.

However this doesnt sound like a radio problem. The only thing I can think to suggest is to read up on "Task 29" this will completely format your device memory and should allow you to reflash a new ROM.

Best of luck........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
Thanks for your reply, Conantroutman! I just tried Task29 and it was stuck at 58% the first time, and the second time it completed all the way to 100% (With a success message from my PC) but my HD2's screen just goes black instead of rebooting. After a battery pull, I tried installing the stock ROM and the same thing still happens. It stops in the middle of updating and says there's a communication error.

Any thoughts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Sorry, the only thing left to suggest is to try the whole process again on another PC. Also try uninstalling active sync / wmdc from your PC and trying again.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
No need to be sorry :) I really do appreciate the help! Would upgrading/downgrading the HSPL do anything?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If it stops working using the pc then try using the sd card method.

Do a search for hd2 sd card flashing and you should find out how...

Might be more lucky without the pc in the mix, especially if there are communication errors involved...

Cheers...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
I've actually done that as well. The flash also fails but at least it gives me an error (which I've posted a screenshot of in my first post). Not that I know what it means though :P Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me decipher it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Just a question, did you changed previously your radio? If yes to witch one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
I've been reading up on how to flash stuff since I got the phone last year, but I never tried to flash anything until the beginning of this week. I'm not sure if the previous owner did though.

These are the radio I've tried this morning:

-2.10.50.26

-2.11.50.20

-2.11.50.26

-2.12.50.02.2

-2.14.50.04

-2.15.50.14

I used the SD card method to flash all the radios above. Some of the radios failed before the progress bar finished, but some actually went all the way. The phone doesn't reboot itself after it finishes though, so I have to do a battery pull. It doesn't seem to make a difference since I still can't flash any ROMs after I flash the radio.

And these are the ROMs I've tried to flash:

-CR192 Desire HD v6.5.3.0.9 Beta

-RUU Leo 1 5 TMOUS 2.10.531.1 Radio Signed 15.34.50.07U 2.08.50.08 2 Ship

-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 2.13.531.1 Radio 15.39.50.07U 2.10.50.26 Signed LEO Ship

-RUU Leo 1.5 TMOUS 3.14.531.1 Radio Signed 15.42.50.11U 2.15.50.14 2 Ship
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
After leaving the battery out of the phone for a day, I tried Task29 again and managed to complete it (all the way to 100% and a proper restart) without freezing. So then I tried flashing a stock rom, but that stopped at around 8%. When I go into bootloader now, it seems that my HSPL has been removed and I'm reverted back to regular SPL.

If I decide to use Task29 again or flash a stock rom, do I need to install HSPL? Should I install HSPL first or just leave it alone and flash normally?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Yes, install the right HSPL first. Then, do task 29, then you install the correct radio, lastly you can install custom rom.

Good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin869:
Thanks Silverwind, I'm using HSPL3 to install HSPL 2.08, but it always fails. I can install regular SPL 2.08 perfectly fine though. I'll leave the battery out for a day and try again to see if it makes any difference.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kevho00:
Hey guys, im a new user and I just rooted my phone, and everyone is talking about that clockwork mod, whats that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
Its the custom recovery that replaces the current recovery on your phone. If you dont know what it is, then you dont need to use it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bradleyw801:
When you root your phone, and install custom ROM's, etc, you need what is called a recovery console to do it properly. A recovery console allows you to do things like factory wipe, so you can cleanly install a new rom, or do a nandroid backup of your current rom. If you don't know, a nandroid backup is a complete image backup of your system in it's current state.

There are alternate recovery consoles, but Clockwork is very popular. It can be installed on any rooted phone. An easy way to install it if you are already rooted, is by downloading Rom Manager from the market.

[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
What a way to make people know that it's not new :D
[Defy Android Development] morphin:
New is the version 2.2.1 instead of 2.2 (see history of the page)

Otherwise i don't know what is difference
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
This isn't new it is the same .sbf that my ROM is based on
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
The download link is the same, they just modified the description.
[Defy Android Development] Perilla_:
I looked it and the link was already clicked by me. So it's the same.
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
Well, I just installed this ROM and unlike the other chinese ROM the flash on this works everytime.
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
Does flash work after superoneclick root?
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
Yeap, did superoneclick root and flash still works everytime. :D
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
Meanwhile I tried it on my phone and I'm still having the flash bug, right after fresh, clean install... :( Did you apply any fix?
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
No, no fixes. I did flash over 2.34 though if that makes a difference.
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
Mods could delete this topic as long as this rom isnt new, so ppl wont spend time here.
[Defy Android Development] JamesDax:
Well, I don't know if it's new are not but I do know that it's fully working unlike the last one I tried. I'm a happy guy. Yesterday I thought I had a bricked Defy(thanks to Sorensiim for his McGyver trick) and today I have a fully functional Froyo Defy.

ROM is rooted

3G works

Camera/Flash works

Google apps and market work

For those interisted I went from a clean install of 2.34. Did a wipe. Installed the new(?) chinese froyo 2.2.1 ROM. Wiped again. And all is well.
[Defy Android Development] switchgott:
In this rom, is there a bootloader file?

Maybe there is a unlocked bootloader because some one said he could flash all the time all now?

Which Language is inside?

COuld we go back to stock rom?
[Defy Android Development] QNXUA:
kill the topic, kill the author! :D
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Guys this is not a new 2.2.1 the link is the one that was posted in the orginal 2.2 Chinese ROM in this post

http://bit.ly/hiZLA8

So as I said before its exactly the same one that we have been using all along.

I have a rooted Samsung Vibrant, running Eugene's R2 Ginger Clone. My search button keeps causing search to randomly pop up no matter what I'm doing on my phone. It's becoming very annoying please help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Can you clarify? Are you pressing the search button and the search is popping up? Or is search randomly showing up without you touching anything?

If it is randomly turning on, then the button is not your problem.

I know there is a mod to change which buttons do what. I saw a guy who changed his so that the search capacitive button actually opened his camera, so he'd have a dedicated camera. If you are interested in changing or disabling that button, I can try to hunt down the thread for you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
Not a bad idea....try "button remapper" from the market....it allows you to toggle the function of the hardware buttons...which leads me to believe you can probably deactivate them

report back if you try (it says theres only partial support for Galaxy S variants)

Here you go. It is using Button Remapper like the guy right below you said.

Hello.

Device - HTC Touch Pro CDMA (Sprint, raph800).

ROM: NFSFAN's 6.5.5

Skype: 3.0

ROM was flashed according to all rules - task29 & hard reset.

Skype is showing error message "Can't connect to Skype Network" while signing in. Browser and MarketPlace work fine. Connection to the Internet is via Wi-Fi. On image - log of outbound traffic.

Remarkable is that I have XDAndroid installed on SDcard, and android Skype can't connect too! It just showing login form again after a couple of minutes...

What's wrong?

Thanks for answers...

you could try changing password via PC/Notebook login then logout & login via Touch Pro skype app.

Hi there!

I have a big problem with my Legend and Jabra Halo. The sound interrupts permanently. I tried to pair it in normal mode, and in special jabra pairing mode - the same **** happens. So, I tried several firmwares (2.1, 2.2, Cyanogen 7) - still the same. Does anybody know how to fix it, or it is impossible?

Thanx!

PS It seems to me, that the speed of BT-connection is slower than the audio stream or something like that.

Ok, after reading up on all the posts I can find on Rooting, ROMs, and Kernels I think I’m gonna finally take the plunge. But…I need to know what I have to do to restore my device back to where I am before I rooted. Especially 4G access, I live in a 4g area and enjoy the speed.

If I decide to unroot, what process do I need to follow to be able to restore back to the point before root?

Can the backups made be used to flash back to my starting point?

Or do I flash back to a stock ROM/Kernel and then have to restore the backup?

Will the back up restore also recover my RSA keys if they are lost? (seeing a lot of posts how to back these up, but none on how to restore them)

Basically if my phone is FUBAR I want to know I can recover my phone back to before root and how I do it.

Normally I wouldn't post a thread, searching is quicker & requires less hanging around...but I am at my wits end now!

I am trying to install a new ROM on my phone but everything I try causes me issues.

I have got to the stage where I am trying to install a ROM (Darkyys). I have downloaded the ROM and put it into my internal SD card, home directory.

I have installed ROM manager, flashed clockworkMOD Recovery, and have restarted into recovery mode from that.

Now, the recovery mode is blue writing (if that helps).

I have cleared everything & go down to ''apply sdcard:update.zip'' and I get an error message which says:

'' E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.''

Now, I have googled every tutorial, every error message and nothing has brought details up on how I get out of this loop.

Can anyone shed any light on it?

Cheers guys :)

edit: The recovery mode is 3e, and has - For BML - on it, if it helps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
the blue writing,, i think that is stock recovery mode, u need to get clockworkMod you will have to download that and flash it through recovery using the process you have already been trying for darkys rom..

when you have clockwork mod, your selecting the wrong thing. you wanna select update from sd card. then select chooze zip from sd card. then there you will see darkys rom (looks something like Darkyys vXX-wipe version.....zip)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andehh:
Thanks for the post mate, the only options I have are;

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
yes get yourself clockworkMod from here: http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0

once downloaded put it on your sd card (internal) then apply sdcard:update.zip ( you may need to do this more than once) when its done the recovery menu will be different. than you can flash darkyys ROM

thats weird.. what version of darkys rom are you trying to flash, you could try flashing speedMod kernel thru ODIN, takes 10 seconds and will remove standard recovery and replace with clockworkMod. then you can flash any rom you want. and even option to root/unroot.. built in lagfix and tweaks. very good kernel im running it now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andehh:
The latest version...8.0. I cant even get to the stage of the flashing the ROM though, the recovery mode is just not playing ball.

I have spent all evening trying to sort this, I don't suppose you could give me a brief run down on ODIN could you? Searching brings up everything under the sun! :(

edit: downloaded ODIN, have the .pit file and the .tar file in a separate folder, how do I flash the ROM...is that done using ODIN? Sorry for the questions, struggling to find usable instructions that explain the steps properly.

http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html

Thats step by step guide to flashing a kernel.. that will put CWM as default recovery.. you dont have to keep the kernel as darkys 8.0 has its own built in voodoo kernel which is also really good.

but flash the kernel in the link above first ^^^ as that will allow you to flash anything you want thru CWM then you shudnt need to use ODIN again really..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Cwm only works on 2e recovery not 3e. Download cf root for your firmware and flash it with odin. Put the cf root file in the pda section and do nothing else. Put phone in download mode, connect to computer and hit start on odin. Done. You will have 2e recovery and can now flash darkys or other.
