Easiest way I've found is to either use the dlna stuff from HTC to share media OR setup an FTP server and use an android FTP client most nas devices should also work via FTP protocols
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Pretty much same setup with the phone.

With ES File Explorer go into LAN tab and go Menu -> New -> Server and there you can setup ip address and password and should work just like on your W7.

Let us know how you go.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulus_01:
Well....the problem is, it is just a external hdd shared via the routers' usb port.

It is not a nas and it sits on the routers ip address (192.168.1.1).

Dlna is not then intend.

I just want to be able to use the disk as I can do in WIN7.

With ES file explorer, I can not access it.

Any other thoughts?

Basically, I want to know if it is possible to map a network drive?

I have searched hi and lo but can't work this out!

I have 330 music files on my sd card, and each time i open mediascape a few of them have an album art image associated with them, but i can't find the files to delete them!!

I have tried the 'dcim / thumbs' file, i have cleared cashe for mediascape and media storage and any other thumbnail files i could find - but some of them still persist!! I have disabled artwork downloads for mediascape and poweramp so it's not that they are coming back, i just can't find them anywhere!!!

i have also used root explorer to search for '.jpg/.jpeg and thumb' but still cannot find these images!!

Any ideas greatly appreciated!!!!

I am new here.but not new into development I updated all my PC's and Macs and used Coreboot and Flashrom there.

I want to cook a fast and finger-friendly 21xxx ROM later.

I post here because I made a flashing mistake on my G3 Universal last week.

I tried to update the Radio ROM and then to Tomal v10 ROM,but got a error

from the RUU,it could be I was missing the extrom or had wrong filenames.

I cant boot 6.5.3 now,but can enter Bootloader mode.

I read the wiki but it didn't help me.I found no docs for the Update Utility.

Now I need help how to flash the phone correctly.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] l2tp:
the simplest way is to flash from your bootloader mode any official rom. don't pay attention on extrom. what kind of error did you receive while upgrading?

If you download the 318 package from the dell update page once it's downloaded click on it in the notification window and it will install over the top of your already contoured configured system without deleting anything.

You first have to tell apktool what framework you are using so it doesn't give you those errors. for instance... download settings.apk and framework-res.apk to the same folder as apktool. then in command prompt type 'apktool if framework-res.apk' Now go in and decompile the settings.apk file and it should work without errors.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samirbole:
Hi,

I am planning to install/upgrade WP6.5 to WP7 on my HD2. What I would like to know is that If I am not happy with WP7 on H2 or somethings break after the upgrade, I would like to go back to WP6.5 that came pre-installed with the phone. How can I go about doing the same?

Can someone point me to some posts or exact steps on how to restore my phone to factory settings with WP6.5
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Even though this very question was asked and answered like a gazillion times (please use the search function of the forum), here´s a short answer:

Yes, you can return to WinMo 6.5 very easily.

Just download the original ROM for your device from your provider (HTC or network operator ROM), go into bootloader mode (vol. down plus power), plug into your PC via USB and run the RUU.

Optional, you can select to flash via SD card.

You can find detailed tutorials, even with videos, in the stickies of the HD2 WinMo 6.5 ROM thread section.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
When you have WP7 .. Hold the power button till you see goodbye, wait for it to completely turn off, Hold the Volume Down button and Press the Power button, you'll see Cotulla's HSPL, connect your phone to PC and wait for Serial to chango into USB, Run the RUU of the ROM of your liking ;)

What a wonderfully witty and erudite post. I'm sure all of us here are delighted that the collective consciousness of XDA should be enriched in such a helpful manner.

Now that this matter has been decisively cleared up once and for all, I'm off to remove WP7 and put Android on.

As for the original thread, I really do struggle to believe that the OP couldn't have found this information within about 30 seconds of launching a search. I apologise (a bit) if this sounds tetchy, but not only is it a thread that didn't need to exist in the first place, it attracted the most pointless, off topic response of all time, above.

in his defence the search on this thing sucks, infact you get better results if you use google and include the words "XDA DEV" plus whatever your searching for

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samirbole:
Problem while installing WP7 on HD2

Hi,

I got these set of instructions on installing WP7 on HD2 -

1.Download the Windows Phone 7 ROM from the link given below and extract its contents to your computer.

2.Make sure that you have HARDSPL 2.08 installed as it is required before you can install MAGLDR in the next step. Also note that your radio needs to be 2.**.50.**. A recommended 2.15.50.14 radio can be found here.

3.Connect your HD2 to your computer via USB and run ‘ROMUpdateUtility.exe’ from the MAGLDR 1.2 folder at the location where you extracted the ROM in Step 1.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions to install MAGLDR on your HD2 and reboot your phone. Your phone will boot into MAGLDR now.

5.Navigate to the 5th option which says ‘USB Flasher’ using the volume-down key and press the green ‘call’ key to enter it.

6.Now run ‘DWI.exe’ from the folder where you extracted the ROM.

7.Read the information carefully and follow the on-screen instructions to flash the Windows Phone 7 ROM to your HD2.

8.Once the installation is complete, your phone will reboot into MAGDLR again. Use the volume-down button to the second option that says ‘Boot AD NAND’ and press the green ‘call’ button.

9.Your phone will now boot into the newly installed Windows Phone 7. The first boot may take a while. Follow the on-screen instructions to setup your Windows Phone 7 installation for the first time.

10.Follow this guide to get Live Services including Marketplace and XBox Live fully working on your device.

The 1st 3 steps worked fine but after executing the RomUpdateUtility.exe, the phone went into reboot mode but it hangs at the white screen where the htc logo appears in green. Its like this for the past 20-25mins.

I had SPL 1.42 installed and then installed the corresponding HSPL too. This worked fine but then it gets scrwed up

How can I go abnout restoring the phone to its default settings as it dosent detect under windows also
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bluraybha:
You're right man. It doesn't sound tetchy BTW.... The thing with android is battery life. It's not possible to get more than 24hrs idle with the new original stock battery I have. With Win7 it's more like 50+ hrs. And it's simple. But I can't get it activated at all with chevron.

In answer to OP's question, no, nothing is not working or slow in wp7. Only the hard keys are different. Takes a day of getting used to no Hard RED/GREEN.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Hey there sam,

I upgraded using the stock 1.66 rom (6.5), updates the radio (very important), then flashed magldr (v1.3 is out now so i would recommend you use that - resolves not being able to charge if battery dies).

Magldr not flashing is usually a radio issue, are you sure it flashed correctly?

What version of windows are you using on your pc?

CHow.

GPS Fix

Well, here is what I did to get my GPS working again.

Take your SIM out of the mobile

Power on the device

Turn WiFi on

Turn GPS on

Open application: GPS Status

Go into its Settings menu

Click on GPS and Sensors

Click Manage A-GPS state

Click Reset

Click Manage A-GPS state again

Click Download (You'll see a message telling you that a data connection is needed, ignore it)

Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock, within GPS Status. This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock way faster than before.

With that done, now it’s time to put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.

Put your SIM back in, and turn the device on

Check the APN settings, make sure that your default APN has the following entry in its APN Type: “default,supl” – without the inverted commas (T-Mobile customers can try keeping this field empty, if "default,supl" doesn't work)

Open either Google Maps, or the application GPS Status

This time you should witness a really quick fix at the GPS signal by your phone. And you should not face lag in getting a fix at the GPS-signal even after a re-boot, or in case of moving away from the area.

This Tips is from other source.I found it on net.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] effgee:
Anyone know why my galaxy s only gets about 13 in linpack?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
Beacuse Linpack tests a specific workload, which it doesn't seem the SGS gets a high score for. However, did you purchase an SGS to "solve a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b"?(1) If so, yes, you probably want a faster phone. If not, Linpack doesn't prove that your average applications run slower then the nexus, only for the workloads tested.

Forget about benchmarks, they are only useful for basic testing...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] effgee:
Doesn't the Nexus S run on the exact same processor? I'm seeing scores of 30+ with that.

Thats basically my main confusion.

And yes, I do need to calculate a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b... for me to poop on! (If you aren't American you probably wont get that.. no offense intended.)
