[HD2 General] xjrxsd619lv702:
Good morning.

im a newbie at updating the HTC HD 2 Leo i have for T-Mobile (which is probably WHY i shouldnt have messed with it in the 1st place...).

i tried downloading the android gingerbread rom onto my phone last night and while downloading the software their was a partition error and my phone was stuck afterwards rebooting on the failed software dowload (would get stuck on a black screen only showing the HTC letters in green.)

i FURTHER screwed it up by trying to put it in bootloader mode and trying to install the Original software i found which i downloaded off a website for the factory version of my HTC HD 2 Leo.

NOW it only shows a black screen.. the computer cant sync my phone, the battery light is not showing and no signs of life...it wont even let me go into bootboader mode...all it says when i plug it in to my USB port on the computer is under hardware found " Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM"...

someone PLEASE help this lost noob... much appreciated
[HD2 General] rikki123s:
wow! erm.... have you tried a hard reset? recovery software might still be on there, with any hope.....
[HD2 General] xjrxsd619lv702:
i tried , but the hd2 doesnt show ANYTHING on the screen, i tried holding both buttons and pushing the power on button but the factory screen wont pop up because the screen stays permenantly black
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Sounds as though you flashed a T-MObile USA with a ROM with a .51 RADIO; if that is the case then the phone is bricked.

You could always telephone HTC and say you charged your phone overnight and it didn't respond the next day - with no mention of flashing the phone.

As you have found out flashing before reading can be fatal (for the phone) and expensive. I have flashed quite a few HTC WinMo phones, but for every different phone I read then reread the instructions.
[HD2 General] xjrxsd619lv702:
thanx i appreciate it , it sux that i cant get it fixed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
well i am a little lost... i tried to update the kernel to the newest version of savaged zen. But got stuck on the white screen, so i went back and wiped both catches again, then i got to the boot animation and now thats looping.. okay so i made a backup before starting but now after wiping everything and restoring the backup is boot looping too. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Try another kernel. I am using the BCblend kernel from november, it's awesome and very stable. Once you get it booted, go into your advanced wifi settings and set your sleep policy to never.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
well... my backup boot loops too... wouldnt the backup have the old kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
It's possible your phone doesn't like that kernel either, mine didn't. How long were you running it before flashing the new kernel? I would try at least a couple more kernels and if you still can't get it booted then wipe and start over. What version of MIUI are you running?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
In my opinion...if you have a good working kernel do not change it. From what ive seen every custom rom is based off a stock rom that comes with a kernel. Usually only custom kernels that match the rom version work well. So it could be the rom and the kernel dont work well together. One thing is nobody seems to list which kernel version is from which rom. So its hard to tell. Also I think your pri version will mess with compatability also. Basically newest rom versions should work with newest kernels. But if your on an older rom...the older kernels will probably work better. And usually kernels come out (it seems) before rom versions. Like new miui kernel supports 4g, but the rom does not support it yet. Also nandroid? backups should have the kernel also. Not sure bout miui backup. But wiping and installing it fresh usually works well. If not you know the deal..wipe everything..then flash the rom..and start over :( So.....find a good one...keep it=no issues :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanK Ups:
Hey there everybody. I was wondering if anybody had or knew of a good encryption app that either works in conjunction with the dialer or has a false app look about it. I've searched xda, toured google, and checked around xda and the only thing I have been able to find is a calculator that has a generic, unchangeable password, and all it seems to do is hide text messages. If anybody has any ideas or solutions I would love to hear them.

Thanks in advance

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjwhite:
Hi everyone,

I have a generic unlocked desire 2.2, unrooted, as standard as they come and connected to Orange.

When I run on GSM only mode in network settings my phone is fine...

BUT..

Enable WCDMA or WCDMA auto mode.... and it will connect to 3G for about 10/20 secs then drop the whole lot, "emergency calls only" is all I can get.

I live in town with full 3G,and have tried at my girlfriends 100 miles away too. This has been going on for about 3 weeks, and so far I have.......

Hard reset a couple of times....

Had a new SIM from Orange...

Tried a different SIM (O2) in my phone - which works perfectly, sat browsing on H for about half an hour or more with no problem.

Tried my SIM in a different phone (Touch Pro) - works perfectly as well! 3G and browsing internet all fine.

So - Orange say its the handset.... and I'm not sure their 2nd level tech really exist, cos I've never got to speak to them or had the promised callback!

and HTC reckon its a network issue.

I can see both sides, but that doesnt help when your stuck in the middle with sloooooow internet.

The only other thing I can think is that Orange dont like the fact I'm on unlimited data and using it, I hit about 900mb a month normally and 2Gb in Nov when my home broadband died for about a week. perhaps they have blocked my handset from 3G? If so they havent told me though! I have one of the panther tariffs from mid last year which were "unlimited".

Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Thanks in advance

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.is.linux:
Sounds strange indeed......

Theoreticly speaking, they could have placed some sort of a limit on your account to reduce the load on their network, but It'll be hard to prove. (Maybe you know someone who works there???)

You can look for your plan's contract (or ask them to fax it to you) - maybe it states the minimal speed of connection....

Threaten to disconnect if your speed does not improve..... Realy can't think of anything else.

Thanks,

I have tried all the options in that menu with no success.

Eventually last night I got orange 2nd level tech who was equally confused and could only suggest a radio version conflict with my handset and network.

Anyway they gave me a fault code which CPW (I purchased from mobiles.co.uk) looked at and glazed over.

I have called HTC direct now and they are having it in for warranty repair. 10 days with my old touch pro... how bad can i be?

Wouldnt surprise me if they send it back NFF........

fingers crossed!

EDIT: THE TOUCH PRO IS AWFUL!

I know, i know.

Its a recurrent question but i want to know what is your opnion about that.

What Android NAND Rom had a better battery life for daily use?

I will NEVER, NEVER go back to Windows Mobile :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Too many variables;

Kernel

Apps

Sync Settings

Wireless Settings

Trial and error is the best way as you can be recommended one rom, try it and find your opinion is the complete opposite to what you were given
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] felipemadox:
I know all that variables, but i dont know if u read the question, but i want to know just a opinion and not tecnical review.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
I read the question and answered it, being given an opinion won't necessarily help you, just go flash and test like everyone else has to
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hardstuffmuc:
+1st bates, well put.

I can't really comprehend the importance of the question about battery life, as it is on ALL builds ok-ish... depending on the different usage habits.

Just to enlightened the OP... my Tytung 2.1 Gingerbread Nand can go for two days or even more... if I leave it untouched :-)

But it is probably flat in like 4 or 5 hours playing nonstop Angry Birds... never tried either option... but you get the gist!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] haxlidinh:
I'm not being meant, but your language really lets people down! I believe your question wont ever gets any answer!:mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bogdatov:
I would like to know answer to the same question. And I know there are MANY people who tried MANY ROMS. Each person's usage pattern may be different. But same person IMHO uses HD2 same way with different ROMs. Which means if you ALREADY tried 10 ROMS and found out that ROM "XYZ" is best for battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] felipemadox:
Cmon man, i made a question about the people opinion and my first aswer is someone talking things like "dont be dumm and try".

Im already trying every build, im givving donates for the cookers and my intention with this topic is just to know the people opinion.

If you dont want to opinate, is simples, ignore this topic.

I do not want to offend anyone, I admire everyone here and help whenever possible.

Sorry if I misunderstood.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
Cyanogen Roms have the worst battery life, everything else is equal.

That's about as much as I can sum it up. Every Desire/Sense rom is going to have the same, every Cyanogen is going to have the same.

You choose whether you want CM or Sense, then you choose which one looks the nicest to you and has the features you want.

Edit: My favorite build so far (battery life is fine also) is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915159 CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD/Z Hybrid v2.0.4
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] An0n1mUs:
I agree, also the Radio is a variable.

For me the best NAND build is MDJ Cyanogenmod with 2.12.50 radio, but now im testing with 2.15.50, and it seems that 2.12.50 is better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeebugorn:
I just flashed my first android nand last night. newest CM7 with 2.15 radio. 12 hours off charger and at 58%. had this been yesterday with android on sd, my phone would have died already.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] felipemadox:
Thanks for the aswer, i will install the CWM now and post later the results.

Im actually at MDJ Cyanogen7 v2.6 and the battery drain is huge :-(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
It's not a drastic difference (unless you use Bluetooth) but CMs (Cyanogen Mods) do use more battery IMO, they seem to burst more in Standby, Wifi seems to be less battery-friendly and Bluetooth is a joke on most.

Sense IMO is the way to go, I love the look/feel and it seems pretty well ironed out.

Also, if you use LED Me Know, uninstall it or turn off Compatibility Mode (HD2 can only use Green and Amber (Orange) so make sure you use those two colors if you do keep it; just keep in mind your LED won't pulse any more.

The pulsing LED gives me a 60mA drain constantly if I have an Unread notification and my LED is going, it wasn't like this on SD from what I remember, must be a NAND issue.

Solid LED > No LED though.

Great i second everyone's posts, and will be transforming my box tonight.
[Nook Color Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
If you want to make it so it can do landscape just cut notches the length of the foam rubber fingers on both sides of the box and cut the finger part off of the foam and your all set.

Haha, its true. The nook was designed at a place called Fuze Project in the SF Bay Area. They're smart fellers down there.

[Nook Color Accessories] lshem16:
You can also use the stryofoam-ish inserts inside the box to hold the Nook upright in landscape... So really the box actually has three surprisingly sturdy stands that come with it. Pretty neat, i think.

LOL Awesome. Just did the mod in the video. May do the landscape mod too. I can't believe I didn't notice that....

on another note, thank you for the idea. such a revelation :)

Good on you! Oftentimes the best solutions are the most obvious. Well done.
[Nook Color Accessories] shaxs:
I was pretty sure it was.... I go one that has a ledge instead of the two hook thingies. Doesn't protrude over the screen and holds it well.
[Nook Color Accessories] tompat10:
Too Funny! just figured this out today...came back to college yesterday so Nook box is at home :( will have to wait to do this..fingers crossed nobody at home tossed it in the trash.
[Nook Color Accessories] lschroeder:
I use clear plate/ picture holder with a white "u" support arm (3" sized one). I picked it up at Jo Ann's, had them use their 40% off coupon and got it for right around $2.00.

Picked up some locktite at Target for $.99 and took and old plastic drink stirrer and cut off two 1/4" chunks that I glued to the front.

I have the Best Buy $50 Easel case the was free and also come with a $25 text message promotion Gift Card. Was necessary to stop text promotion right after refund to prevent charges to cell phone.

I use the glued plastic chunks to make everything sit even.
[Nook Color Accessories] bugggie1:
Plate stands, picture holders, book holders. They all work great, however you can't adjust the angle that well and some are too wide to use in portrait mode.

Currently using this:

http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Portabl...VOOY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300135437&sr=8-1

It's not as cheap as the things mentioned above, but it lets you adjust the angle at least. It's decently stable as long as you aren't hammering away on your NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] lschroeder:
"I use clear plate/ picture holder with a white "u" support arm (3" sized one). I picked it up at Jo Ann's, had them use their 40% off coupon and got it for right around $2.00."

You just move the white "u" up and down to determine the angle. It is pretty stiff so it easily stays at that position.

I think many of us got dumbfounded not know that this box was more than just a box.

[Nook Color Accessories] watzone69:
I have tried the plate/picture stands and also the Arkon (which I love for my Xoom) but neither one allow for the charging cable in portrait mode. Although the original box may be a bit bulky, this mod makes it into the stand that I want.

I always like companies that go that extra mile to give you more value. Add that to the amazing capabilities of the NC (bluetooth and GPS tethering) and you start to appreciate the B&N folks a bit more!
[Nook Color Accessories] jettrue:
Love it. :) Does she know about the decal skins? ;)
[Nook Color Accessories] mohcho:
This thread is awesome. I pulled out the box and the portrait mode works great.

I came up with my own version of the landscape mode that's "adjustable". I put two strips of foam tape on the box and you can use the nook in landscape mode for viewing videos and a slightly more angled setting for typing.

Great use of the box!

I tried to post links to the pictures I took, but I'm a n00b here so I can't post the pics yet. I'll post them when I can.
[Nook Color Accessories] mohcho:
I just realized something about my modified landscape mode as well. You can also use it in portrait mode as well. The nook stands up quite straight when the box is upright, but with the box on it's side and the foam tape addition, you can type and read in portrait mode as well.
[Nook Color Accessories] mohcho:
Here are the pictures of the new landscape mode I created using the ideas in this thread.

Landscape Mode 1 - viewing from a distance.

Landscape Mode 2 - viewing when closer.

Hello, I rooted my phone about a week ago successfully. I then installed the fission 2.5.7 Black edition which I like a lot. Then I decided I need a backup, a clean backup that is of none my personal settings, of the original stock android, and as well as to verify the original version of my android OS. I did that successfully as well. Wanting to see what Gummyjar looked like I installed it successfully as well and gave it a good look over. I then decided to go back to my fission 2 .5 .7 Black edition and this is where my trouble begins. Using ROM manager I click on the restore manage backups like I've done many times, click on the backup I wish to restore, it asked a couple usual questions then reboots. Within a few minutes I get the GummyJar boot logos, and goes right into the GummyJar OS. As though I did not do anything but a regular reboot. No matter what I do, try to install a new ROM, it just reboots right back into GummyJar. While I am new at this I have installed a couple ROMs successfully, as well course, rooted my phone, however I don't know what to do here or if there is something inherent with GummyJar that I need to do. I could I think, do a battery pull and bring up my emergency menu, but thought I would try this forum first. GummyJar is nice but I don't like being stuck with, even if I wanted to keep it. In any case I do not want to keep it I like fission 2.5.7 Black edition the best of them all so far. Original OS 2.3.20

Now Gummyjar

Trying to get back to fission 2.527

Used fission rom manager 1.2.4 lite < installed fission 2.5.7

Used Rom Manager 3.0.0.7 to create and restore roms

Any Help? Thanks much

[Droid 2 General] acsteve:
Guess that did it

I deleted and reinstalled Fission lite and rom manager. Much to my surprise this SEEMED to do it. I have a hard time thinking this fixed my issue but it is working now and I am back to fission 2.5.7 black edition. So if this helps anyone else good, still though was a strange problem.

Thanks
