Hi All,

I've seached and can't find anyone with the same problem as me. Please help.

Telstra HD2 T9193 with HSPL2.08

I was running a a nice clean wimo (OZROM) rom then decided I would give Android a Go.

I installed NAND and installed MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 It all worked fantastic, but I found the battery drain a too heavy and would like to go back to WiMO 6.5.

Now according to the n00bs guide I should be able to enter the bootloader and run and custom .ruu from there (USB connected) and all will be fine.

When I try this, the screen sits a 0% until timeout.

Same happens when I try a task 29

finally if I try to flash a 6.5 ROM from the SD card, I just get the message "Loading" and nothing happens.

Any ideas? Should I try flashing back to an official ROM and then HSPL all over again? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help

Puff
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PUFF1N:
FIXED!!!! FIXED!!!!

Strange. I had to do HSPL 2.08 AGAIN even 'tho that is what was on it. Anyway if you have this problem. HSPL again then task 29 then put your wimo ROM back on.

Might be worth adding this to mskips n00b thread.

I hope this helps others.

Cheers

wtf...going back to windows 6.5 from NAND ANDROID....omg!!

That's like owning a $50,000 BMW, then deciding to rip out the seats, rip out the air con, rip out the engine and replace it with a lawn mower engine...wtf?

each to their own i suppose. ;-)

i think i'd prob kill myself if i had to go back to windows mobile 6.5 now!!!!

I´m looking for an app which easily let me swtich between Data-Connection on/off.

I´ve tested APN on/off widget and one which is called Toggle Data.

Both start and stop the data-connection correctly, but a few seconds after stopping the connection starts again, think thisis a HD2 specific problem, because these apps work with other phones.....

Has anyone found an app which works with the HD2 LEO?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] coldest~~~:
there is a widget pre-installed that's called power control, i use it to turn on/off wifi, data, gps, and display light. I don't know if every build has it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Machupichu2:
The build that i use has no widget called power control.....
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
There's plenty of widgets for this on the Market. Just do a search on there for things like "power control" or "control widget" etc..

I use SwitchPro. It's a paid app, but only cheap. It's VERY configurable and I highly recommend it.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wingman1487:
Check on Market 'CurveFish'

Go to market and type in 'curvefish' They have a bunch or widget toggle switches for free. The one you will be interested in is their 'APN OnOff' app.

[myTouch 4G General] Marine6680:
I love my N1 but battery life is an issue, and I have found little complaints about the battery life of the MT4G. So I figured I would give it a try.

I'm not a noob at Android or flashing... been doing it since my G1. That doesn't mean I want to dig into ADB overly much to root. Also I need to be able to unroot should the need arise.

So I have a few questions.

What root method is the most painless way, and still allows fairly easy unrooting?

Is there any practical advantage to the True S=off root?

I may use a mostly stock ROM with an OC kernel. Will most likely switch to CM7 when it hits RC status.

Is ClockworkMod the only recovery choice we have? I didn't find any others while looking through the threads.

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
Gfree. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

It is about as "one click" as you will get, and you can use it for only S-OFF and to allow you to flash eng hboot if you don't want sim/carrier unlock for some reason.

Yes. HTC is shipping newer devices already patched against older "rage" exploits. I'm of the mindset of root it while you can, if it's something that matters to you :). It is also unlocking your phone at the lowest level possible via the radio, so you should be able to keep root even through forced OTAs, new ROMs, etc -- once it's done it's done!

Yes. I have seen a little chatter that Amon_RA is working on a version, but I have not seen one yet. CW is all we have, but it works well so no big complaints from me there.
[myTouch 4G General] Marine6680:
I don't need sim or carrier unlock.

As long as I root it right away, and do not install any official updates, I should be fine right?

Amon_RA is my preferred recovery. Even though I use CyanogenMOD which uses Clockwork for official downloads and flashing.

Found the thread for unrooting gfree... thats good then
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
Make sure to install engineer hboot as well
[myTouch 4G General] Essenar:
I'm new to the MyTouch 4g as well so here's my advice.

1) do it the true way. I tried using the permanent way without gfree and I couldn't get root to stick on my one day old phone.

2) I've seen thee best battery life with evil Z rom.

3) make sure you have the good screen before you start this process in case you need to return it.

4) back up your stock recovery and rom! Just because they are online is no excuse!
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
came from a nexus one as well, but had a few phones in between.

The mytouch 4g is solid! Clockwork recovery isn't too bad, itll get the job done, simple rooting process and all. Its about the same as the nexus one I would say, simple and no problems. Roms are pretty solid here, cyanogen nightlies for gingerbread are good, battery life is around 2 days for me on average. The ice glacier is like stock and that is one of the better roms to play with as well. Enjoy the mytouch 4g till you find a new toy

Hi all

Just want to share my experience. Don't know whether it was a result of me flashing my TP but just recently when I wanted to add some songs on to my sdhc card (which is in my TP) I noticed that I couldn't. Also when I delete some files, once I refreshed the screen, it would still be there. Noticed that something was going on when I couldn't save pics to my sd card, thought it was due to the NRG rom but now it's confirmed that the card will not delete/add other files on to it. I've had this card since I bought my tp 2 years ago

Whatever is on the card is fine, like my previous programs that were installed and my music which was there before. It is still usable, only with what is there.

I tried to format the card - after almost 24h of formating - it gave an error (forgot what it was though)

So, next time you flash, might want to remove that sd card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] borisku:
i ve nrg Rom (ernergy style), too and a 16 GB sdhc card ... i never take it out when flashing new roms & i flash nearly every new rom that comes out, never had such issues as you have... maybe hardware error: did you controll/format (fat-format) your card with special progs as SDFormatter from Panasonic?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] wanwarlock:
hi, no i just used initially via windows and then via command prompt. forgot about sdformat...

will google & try,

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhiggs:
Just wondering if anyone's come up with a good way to mount the Defy on a motorcycle yet? Can't find a dedicated mount for the Defy yet so am looking for other options...Waiting for delivery of a plastic holster which, if I could remove the belt-clip, I could probably attatch to a universal stem mount. Not sure about how much clearance there would be between the holster and the phone for any securing nuts/fasteners so just interested if anyone has rigged up something similar? Can't wait to get my hands on this phone as the IP67 spec makes it perfect for use as a motorcycle sat-nav!

(Sorry- unable to include pictures/links to the proposed holster and stem mount as I'm a n00b!:confused:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadStu:
Hello mate,

I bought a couple of the cheap mounts from China, they use the standard 4 holes at the back, which makes it perfect for sticking cable ties though to hold it on the handle bars (see image).

I put it on the other day and took it for a test ride about 15 miles. It held in, but doesn't stop me feeling a bit scared that the vibrations will make it fall out.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senergy:
I bought the origional motorola mount, put a decent bolt in the stem hole and used thw standard screw on mount. Done about 150km within like that, listening to music and google turn by turn through my bluetooth headphones.

2 issues though, wish it had a lanyard strap for a safety latch just in case it comes free the holder. 2nd issue is tha capacitive screen with racing leather gloves...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhiggs:
Cheers. That looks promising but I'm hoping to mount it to my R1 which has clipons. I think a stem mounts the only safe option (hate to pay the £70 odd Motohaus are asking for it tho!)...See what you mean about the posibility of it coming out of the upper clip (the holster I've ordered clips in on all four corners so may be safer.) Maybe you could rig up something that would lock the upper clip down- a loop of strong fishing line or something similar...bit of a bodge but wouldn't want to test the phones ruugedness by slinging it down the road at speed!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhiggs:
Cheers. How did you secure the Motorola mount to the stem hole? Not sure how you'd be able to recess a captive nut or something similar within the stem itself? Ta.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadStu:
I think the best idea maybe to try and fabricate your own, maybe get a small sheet of metal and fold the ends over so that the phone will slide in from the side only. Could then screw a ram mount bit on the back and attach to the bike that way. I'll probably try this when I can be bothered ;)

The reason I got the defy though is because of it's ruggedness and because I go Dirt biking a lot and use the phone for Ordnance Survey mapping. I'm forever falling in rivers or big muddy bogs so I need to feel confident that it'll hold the phone in!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senergy:
I used one of these

then got arount 5-8 rubber grommets like this

and pushed it through the stem hole. Its real tight!. Left a bit of of bolt out the top so the pivot locking system of the oem holder attaches to the bolt.

It looks pretty decent, nothing that ruins the looks of my 600rr.

I'll take some pics when Im in the garage next and post it up so you can see.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senergy:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwhiggs:
Looks good. I've allready got a decent tankbag but this one looks like a much better option having the optional mount. Got a feeling that with my tank bag on, I'll need to position the phone differently, which will probably mean it will be in the way of either the speedo or tacho. (Having to fit new chain and sprockets plus tires and a shock refurb means I can't justify the cost at the moment but it's on my wishlist for sure!)

I use the Brodit holders since I owned the Nokia N73, but they are products designed for use in car, not in bike.
