[Defy General] crazyVII:
phone really dead.

guys, tried mcgyver trick....

white light goes on on usb connect directly... dont know why, but nothing worked. first come first served mode enabled in rsd lite.

rsdlite running the whole time. nothing connects, nothing realized.

direct boot (only power button), power + volup button, everything. no result.

the strange thing, in the meantime i saw someone posting, he flashed the whole thing(as in the description, 1st post) on 2.51 and on his phone everything worked fine.

no idea. but i think mine is really gone now. i think ill send it to my reseller tomorrow. im not quite sure if i can stay with such a situation (not loading in boot loader mode? WTF? no real recovery image? F*CK? bad hacks? no useful backup situation.. why do i need a recovery, when i cant access it when i screwed up? -> useless to me.

im really thinking of switching back to htc, although the DHD is too big, i think ill gonna take it :(

guys, any tipps? suggestions? id really appreaciate it. :=)

thanks for all the responses so far.

current situation

- mcgyver trick tried for 45 mins,

- rsd lite in first come first served mode

- white led goes on on usb connect immediately

- screen is black the whole time

- no results - no recognization...

- flashed chineese 2.2 on 2.51 firmware :(

Did the same goof up....got greedy for froyo and couldn't resist f&(*ing my defy........was cribbing for 8 hours while figuring out the solution.... escaped office for this.....but finally finally .......i saved it.......man.....if blood is the answer for blooood....then it has to be 2.51 for 2.51....

please click the link below for the only feasible 2.51 sbf....flash your defy in a standard manner and kabbooooom........defy reincarnated...

:

hope it works for all the good people in need....it worked for me (Atleast my defy turned on still observing how it works)..

Defy 2.51 sbf

Theres more....though i sacrificed one of my data cable for mcgyver jugulary...but got a wonderful outcome of my 12 hours wait..........my earlier (india) rom was not full blur...never realized it...facebuk never synced......but this uk rom is FULL BLUR..and its awesome......alll my accounts are intact......everthing works just fine....in face some of the the apps which never used to work earlier work flawlessly now........

ACCIDENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS BAD :)
[Defy General] chaihg:
All those greedy people wanting to flash froyo from 2.51 and wanting to keep their downgradability, you will need to search for tutorial from Bihariel where he put up froyo rom only for 2.51 base.

All the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocky2:
Can you flash straight to 2.2.1 using just the pda or is this not recommended?

Or best just to stick with updates from vodaphone via kies? not my phone btw.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
Hi,

I had a bricked G1 due to wrong radio update.

Got it restored from a repair shop using JTAG. Now when i am checking the IMEI number is showing all zero - 0000000000000:confused:

Due to this I am unable to connect to any mobile network. Can this be restored as I have the number on the Box which i received with the Mobile phone. :confused:

Will it again need opening the phone or I can do it myself ?

Regards,

Chinmay
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
After the JTAG Recovery, I was facing this problem, so I also tried flashing the radio and the factory rom but does not solve the issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
Does anyone have any solution ? Can JTAG solve this ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Whoever did the work was a complete moron and wrote to parts of the flash that should NOT BE TOUCHED.

Technically, it is possible to repair.

Haven't heard of anybody with this exact problem before, so it is uncharted territory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladmaster99:
IMEI Number got Reset

Take it back to the guy who did the jtag unbricking.

He should be able to put your IMEI number back.

Please note a "How to change the IMEI" Faq could be used for ilegal purposes.

Hence it is against the forum rules to explain how to do this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
Hi Thanks for the solution.

I am not changing my IMEI number, just restoring the original one so this should not be illegal.

This post can be blocked if it is against the forum rules. I don`t intend to do anything illegal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Like most knowledge, it can be used for good or evil. There would be no reason to close or delete this thread, since nobody here suggested doing anything evil and your question is totally reasonable. The main issue with being up the technical details about changing the IMEI would be that it could be used to ENABLE people to use it for evil purposes. That is why vlad mentioned about why there isn't and shouldn't be a set of instructions about it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
Got the IMEI number restored. Mobile Network is up now.

The guy who did the JTAGG Recovery mistakenly did IMEI repair is what he said.

Now its fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanezu:
where to contact for restoration of imei no.

pls help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.robo:
Imei repair

sorry to bump an old thread, i do imei repair and ONLY restore to original imei number.

Not much to describe :) No more bad photos on our HD2 :)

Disclaimer:

I do it just for fun when I have some free time and some mood :) So don't expect too much.

This app is free (and will allways be free) and for now it will not be available through Marketplace - just because it is not really easy to put it there.

Version 0.6.3 - Mango compatible,

Download:

View attachment 796756

- same as 0.6.2

- full Mango support

Version 0.6.2 - Mango beta1 compatible,

Download:

View attachment 661595

- preview for recorded video doesn't work (I cannot create one of the classes - looks like Mango issues)

- some UI lagging - again Mango issues

- maybe some other bugs

- image may freeze - simply tap the screen

Version 0.6.1 - Nodo,

Download:

View attachment 610427

- app now use native code - this means no way to put it to Marketplace, also app will work only on HTC devices

- preview for recorded video

- normal names for videos

- improved speed of save operation

- fixed problems with pictures rotation (still small issues remain)

- fixed autosave for videos

Known problems:

photo taken in portrait mode will require more time to save comparing with landscape photo.

What's next:

- will try to disable shutter sound (for now - there will be only registry key - look registry tweaks thread)

- propose your features :)

About custom photo/video resolution:

There is no way to have 16:9 photos or video recording in 1080p - application already using all supported resolutions.

And there is no way to add something else - unless someone will modify camera driver.

About Green/Yellow color in photos:

This is a camera driver bug - nothing I can do.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Barmalei:
No 5MP pictures

I am not getting high resolution pictures, instead of 5MP it produces only 1296 x 972. I tried all kinds of settings, saving them in different combinations, reinstalling the app, rebooting, with no success.

I am running moon light ROM, which otherwise works very well.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:

Sir Sergey i have problem with the latest version with the return key to get out off the program you must a several times to push

landscape wil every time rotate in view
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
i'm not doing anything with return key - so it should behave as usual. and I don have such problems on my phone - so this is probably not app's bug.

about rotation - I will try to fix it - hopefully I will publish new version on Friday - otherwise it will be delayed for a few weeks.

Resolution issues

Sergey, just wanted to give you a brief report on my situation. I was having problems with not getting high resolution, and the latest version did not solve it for me. (Using Moon light ROM.) However, after I rolled back to version 0.4.2, I got the full resolution back, and I am pretty happy with that version, so I'll stick with it for now.

Thank you, though, for your tireless efforts to constantly improve.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
next version will have some changes that might help you. still - it is strange that 0.5.1 did not solve the problem
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Barmalei:
Sergey, after your last comment I tried once again to install 0.5.1, and this time it worked - it now makes 5MP pictures.

Another problem there, however - it takes few seconds to save a picture and get ready for the next shot. I don't get this problem with 0.4.2 - it is ready instantly.

Maybe there is something wrong with my phone - I get all these unique problems. Thank you in any case.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
this is this build's problem - nothing wrong with your phone. saving time will be improved in the next version
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] xgamer2010:
pls do something about the long lag after a shot because of image saving
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] lokiderelb:
To make something different as my preposters i want to thank you for your work.

its sure one of the best works in this forum and it makes my wp7 expirience with my hd2 much better.

is there a way to give you a donation via paypal or something like that?

only thing that doesnt work for me is 720 recording.

its lagging. with the original app it doesnt. but in the original ap i cant chose it wile using german as language.

hope this will get better but im sure you will improve it.

thx very much.

Problem

I have problem with this app, when i try to save(autosafe off) after pressing save it gives error: NullReferenceException - and doesn't save(program doesn't quit) - so program works but doesn't save, if i try autosave on - then it gives me this error immediatelly.

Also time to time on saving it gives other error: operation not permitted on IsolatedStorageFileStream - sometimes it quits program/sometimes not.

So, need some help here :)

p.s. hd2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] huismeester:
If you do this then your device is disconnected from your PC?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] eXtremeLT:
It was disconnected from pc when i've done it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] munkeyphyst:
Amazing app.

I have istalled it on my samsung focus.

I use my phone's camera at work quite often to document damage to mterials in the field and with the W7 camera app, I have to go in and select macro focus and turn off the flash every time to get the details. Your app does the trick nicely.

Great work!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] munkeyphyst:
I just noticed that your app allows zoom while shooting video. Really great. Tons better than the MS app.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] calgot:
Flash late, no 5MP, no icons?

I have used 0.4.5 for a while, great app. But it seems that my flash comes slightly after the picture is taken, so the colors and light in pictures taken with flash is terrible.

Also, the highest resolution that I can select is 1600x1200 - far from 5MP.

The same problems exist in 0.5.1 with the addition that now I don't see any icons? The only icon visible to me is the one showing the mode (photo or video, showing a camera in photo mode), other icons becomes visible when I touch them. Almost as they are displayed in white over a white background.

Is the background under the icons perhaps meant to be transparent? Same problem with the Save etc buttons in settings.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
camera driver bug - nothing I can do

scroll the resolutions down - you should be able to select higher thant 1600x1200

currently - icons visible only for dark theme, you are probably using the white one
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] huismeester:
Is there a new release soon Sir
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] toothfish:
hey can we still have the old settings with scenes and metering mode? I find them still quite necessary. The color is a bit off most of the time, but besides those its an excellent camera app!! really appreciate it!!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] zafs:
great work man

camera is working properly

thanks a lot...............:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] calgot:
Hahaha. Scroll down.... and now do I feel stupid? :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] munkeyphyst:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Rosetti:

But I hope that the next update is coming soon because the saving time of taken pictures is far to long to really have fun with it.

Anyway thumps up Sergey
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
I'll try to bring new release in upcoming week. Most of the stuff is ready - I just dont have time to finish it. Still - just to let everybody know that i'm still working on it :)

Thank you Sir for the news :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] janhsoe:
Brilliant!!!

Thank you very much. I was honestly considering deinstalling WP7 because of the bad camera.

The only "problem" I can confirm is that my landscape pictures also are not saved in that format because when I watch them they automatically turn. But you already know that and I am sure you will get this also fixed.

Again: THANK YOU!!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] farbod.ab:
request

First of all thank you very much for your hardwork and second of all I had a question. Can you please replace the program with the phone camera so when we hold the camera button this app opens not the actual camera and can you change it somehow that when you press the camera button in the app in takes the picture just like the actual camera.

Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
no - this should be done by a rom maker(s).

New version is ready - I'll test it a bit and will release tomorrow.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Zahurtex:
I am sure this could be done by simple registry tweak to assign this app. to the start butt. instead of htc camera. But since wp7 architecture is so compact even basic tweaking are hard to accomplish by basic users.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sergey_H:
somewhere in this thread there is an app that does my app launch on the camera button press. I'm not sure that this is registry tweak (in fact I almost sure it is not). but to make camera button to take pictures - I need to handle button press inside the app (which is totally not supported in WP7). I do believe there is a way to do it (at least through native code) but it is over complicated :) Still - I think it is easier to do inside the rom.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Zahurtex:
The reason I saying is the other day installed few apps. like shop savvy its a barcode scanner and other app. thumba cam. etc. these applications takes you direct to camera if you press camera icon in the application.

Now the problem is that hd2s wp7 camera is not autofocus so if you take pics. of barcode in shop savvy it doesn't recognize due to out of focus... so whenever we press call butt. or activate camera through some other app. it should start shcameraapp. Only this way we will have autofocus camera for normal use and for the other apps. use. Thanks
