HAHA! No problem!

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but you can open the market, then click menu, then settings and make sure that the drop down list choice is set to "notify me" and it should notify you of any updates to programs that you have downloaded from the market. (or apps that it "thinks" came from the market) This should include any apps that are free or paid.

Hope this helps!

so i flashed to stock and when i boot my phone up or it resetted after the galaxy s bootscreen its just blank black, and if i touch it or something it keeps beeping
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Remove battery for about a minute. Then flash to stock again and dont remove it from the usb or touch it until it fully boots up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
if rebooting the phone does not work, hope you can still get into download mode, then try to reflash the rom.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
As noted in the title.

I plan on buying a HD2 for the sole purpose of Android only. Besides cosmetic issues, what should I look for? Are there any software updates or flashing that has resulted in a point of no return (ie preventing one from flashing Android)? Let me know!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Get a T-Mobile US HD2, they have more ROM memory than the Europeans. Way better for running Android on.

-HD2 Android-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
thanks for the tip. since i live in the US, this shouldn't be a problem at all
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
If you're only going to use it for android, why buy an hd2 then? It certainly isn't better than any 1ghz android device out there, and some of the bugs (if you expereince any), may stifle you.

You might as well buy an android phone instead since it runs better with prolly less problems, excluding the samsung galaxy s series. (N.B. an android phone will prolly only run better after you've rooted it, tweaked, and maybe flashed a custom rom)

Anyways, other than getting a tmous hd2, that's about it I guess. Everything is reversible, from going back to android, to winmo, to WP7. You just have to read, and be able to know your device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andrewz182:
its likely cheaper to purchase a hd2 rather than a smartphone with android pre-loaded, since many people have had frustrations with windows mobile as the stock OS (that was me when I first got the phone) and are willing to get rid of it for fairly cheap.

1-2 months after the phone came out, craigslist was full of ads of people trying to sell their hd2. at first, i regretted not selling mine the day it came out (could've gotten $400+ for it), but now that I have gingerbread on it, it performs a lot better, except for the GPS, which is completely non-functional, but I'm hoping that will get fixed soon. if GPS is an important function on your phone, I'd suggest sticking to winmo for the time being.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
That's just you, man. 90% of us have gps working fine.

I say if you can get a deal on it go for it (in my area, 150 is what I consider a deal). If the cost difference between this and, say, a mytouch 4g is less than a hundred or sitting at a hundred, just go for the mytouch. I broke my first hd2 a couple months ago, and I was about to pull the trigger on a mytouch, when someone popped up with a hd2 for 180. I negotiated him down to 140 and that was that.

Just my opinion though. They're both outstanding phones

Edit: sorry, that was off topic. Any software the hd2 comes with (stock, modded, whatever) can be flashed over very easily. I have had experience with some hd2s not working correctly. They get slow, laggy, start force closing, etc when running android, but this isn't something you can "look out for". Just have to find out I guess.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Hi there. Yes, you bring up a very good question. The reason why is because I am a T-mobile user with a very old, grandfathered $3 unlimited data plan. However, this data plan only works for certain phones, HD2 being one of them. The Nexus One works with the data plan as well, but I sold it after getting tired of its multi-touch issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Thank you. So there are no radio flashes that will send you over to dead man's land?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
If you have HSPL installed on your device, no flashing will kill your device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
If you just know how to read and follow instructions, there in way you can't get things working.

I got my hd2 from craigslist for 200 but was only used less than a week. Got everything including receipt. Same for my daughter but was an older buy so I got it for 150.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Oh btw, the HD2's multi touch isn't perfect either. Whether or not the HD2 has support. hardware wise, for more than two fingers is irrelevant right now, as android on the HD2, WP7, and winmo, only enables us to use two fingers.

With WP7, multi touch is horrible. With android two fingers max, but the fingers mustn't be, i think, vertically or was it horizontally aligned with one another, one of them, I can't remember which. Pinching and zooming works fine, even with that problem, however in gaming, you'll notice it, and it may irk you.

With winmo i'm not sure, as I haven't actually played around with winmo much other than flash custom roms for the sake of flashing cuz I'm addicted to it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Okay, good to know.

Prices are similar where I live, 200-250. I am sure I can get down to 150 since there's 15+ new posts/day
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Thanks for the info. I have already researched on this topic and if you go back to my old posts, you'll see that HD2 multi-touch with Android is better than the Nexus One multi-touch. Gaming is not an issue since I don't plan on gaming on my device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BillTheCat:
This was only briefly touched on, but the importance of a Tmobile unit is critical for more reasons than just the amount of available RAM. The hardware which defines the radio frequency (specifically, data) differs. For example, I'm running an Australian (Telstra) T9193 on AT&T because the 3G band is the same, so I get HSDPA speeds on a device that was never intended to be used on this network. Though a Tmobile unit would work for voice on my network, I'd be SOL for data.

So, since you've said in a prior post you're a Tmobile customer, be certain the model you're getting is a Tmobile unit, which I believe is a T8585, if I'm not mistaken. Even though you COULD flash Android to a unit with less RAM (as I'm doing with mine), you'd risk not having it work for data if you get the wrong model.

Can't speak to how many times one can flash, but I'm up to dozens of times with various WM and Android ROMs and radio combinations with no ill effects. Well, none I'm aware of, anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
Thanks. Is there a way to "fake" the model #? I doubt the people I meet are going to be this shady since most of the people I talked to still have it on Windows Mobile 6.5

hi all

I need someone to help or advise, How can I install Extended Power Menu ( Reboot, Recovery and Download mode ) on my original JPJPG rom for Galaxy..

please with vedio guide to all steps

Appreciate your help and support..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phalanger:
Easiest way is to just install a theme that includes extended power menu. Which are almost all of them.

PS. I dont think this belongs in the development section..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frozenhill:
ok ioknow that but i want just th e menu with out theme , i want to create it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KennyLegend:
the extended power menu is dependant on the theme you have installed.

you need to have a deodexed Rom to install a theme.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:
Hi,

I was trying to root my phone with the guide that is on this forum, but then when i restarted my phone, it was stuck on the white "HTC" boot screen. Then i tried to do a "Factory Reset" in hboot and rebooted, and still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to put a PD98IMG.zip as it was prompted in hboot as "no image or wrong file", so i loaded PD98IMG.zip onto my SD card, and still not working. any suggestions ?

my phone is S-ON.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howling Wolf:
I guess your phone is branded ? If that's the case, you need to follow the tutorial for a goldcard.

Also, if your rom is 1.7x or 1.8x, you can't root it. You have to follow the downgrade tutorial 1st
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbo_d:
Mine took 30 mins to boot once. You could try the ruu look in dev section, you just flash it from Windows, then start again. Was your she branded?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz_r1:
<-- This

I was in the same situation, downgraded ROM and clockwork mod and did a restore and it works fine now
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:
@Howling Wolf - I cannot get the CID for the SD card, because

in the 'adb shell' command, my command prompt says "error: device not found". But i want to know, can i still get the CID through another HTC desire phone ? and can i still update a stock rom with S-ON ? and how do i know if my phone is branded ?

I got my phone from Taiwan, a friend brought it over for me, and when i last checked it was on software version 1.37.921.1 .

@turbo_d - ill try that thnx :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equlizer:
did you try installing the htc sync software then do adb devices
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:
ye i did, i installed HTC sync to get the HTC drivers, but from what i noticed is that your phone needs to be "running" instead of being stuck on the white HTC boot screen or even the hboot doesnt pick up the device aswell >.<
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAPPH1RE:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:

ok i acquired my CID through linux, but now its telling me

main version is older !

update fail.

any suggiestions ? my current software version of the phone is 1.37, which stock RUU should i be using ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdauser2000:
If you are on 1.37 you should be fine to continue with getting s-off and such. You don't need to upgrade or downgrade your ROM until you achieve s-off. And then you should upgrade to a custom ROM such as LeeDroid.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulcoop007:
did you get it working ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulcoop007:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:
Thing is, i cant get my phone to start up, so i need to flash a stock rom, so that i can get my phone started and then do S-OFF. But it keeps telling me "Main Version is older!"

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totoro_tw:

[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
I had issues with my recovery ever since updating to DL30 and continuing until EB01. I attempted to install red recovery but I would always boot in blue then had to select apply sdcard: update.zip. This did not make me feel safe so these are the steps I followed in order to fix and update my recovery. This thread is mainly for "newbs" that have a diffucult time understanding what older users are trying to say.

Before you begin, download the cwm-recovery-ALL zip file from jt1134's thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021

and

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17566514/update.zip

STEP 1:

Place the "cwm-recovery-ALL" file in the clockwork mod folder on SD card and rename it "recovery-update" replacing the old one already in this folder.

STEP2:

Place the "update" file on the root of your SD card replacing any current "update file".

STEP3:

Reboot into recovery and if you boot in blue select "apply sdcard:update.zip"

STEP 4:

You should be in green recovery now and select "install zip from SD card" then select "choose zip from SD card"

STEP 5:

Navigate to the clockworkmod folder on your SD card and install the "recovery-update" that you placed in there earlier.

STEP 6:

Once "recovery-update" is done installing, go back to the main menu in green recovery and select "apply sdcard:update.zip".

STEP 7:

You will still be in green recovery but on next reboot you should boot into red. If you are still booting into green, copy the "update" file on the root of your SD card and paste it in the clockworkmod folder on your SD card. Delete the existing "recovery-update" and rename the "update" file you just placed in there "recovery-update".

-Try booting to recovery once more and you should now boot directly to red recovery. If not, please start over and go step by step.

-If you still have issues with booting to red recovery after following these steps, please flash http://db.tt/6dZUc7d in Odin and start steps over. (Thank you Takafiji)

NOTE:

I am not responsible for anyone who destroys their recovery by not following the steps provided. Please, please read carefully.

Credit to jt1134 and Takafiji for providing the recovery files.
[Fascinate Android Development] ditobot:
Thanks, I was tired of using Odin to get Red recovery mode every time I wanted to flash a new ROM. For some reason I still find myself needing to reflash the eb01-modem.tar everytime I want to install a new superclean eb01 build.
[Fascinate Android Development] Takafiji:
also i think the sammy kernel sneaks in and replaces cwm with there stock (blue) recovery. so i recommend on first flash using odin, then boot directly to recovery, (not going into bootscreen) then follow his directions.

Also thats not my dropbox link its another guys, ill find the name, i just used it because it did the job.
[Fascinate Android Development] 40kalkillah:
Blue recovery does "sneak" in it seems. I have red recovery but blue does load sometimes with a "failed" message. If I apply "update" it goes to what looks like download mode. From there nothing works. Hold down volume keys and power reboots into red. Sometimes recovery goes directly to red? Trial and error....
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
That happened to me as I was following these steps the first time. Turned out I had a bad update.zip file. Make sure your files are named correctly and not "update.zip" as it will show up in your system as "update.zip.zip". Should just be named "update" on root of SD card and "recovery-update" in clockworkmod folder. If you haven't followed the steps I provided please do as I haven't had any issues yet with it. Maybe try Takafiji's advice and flashing the Odin files first.
[Fascinate Android Development] Takafiji:
if using windows the way to change and see the extension of a file such as .zip open up "my computer" click "tools" (if you cant see it hold the "alt" key) then click "folder options" hit the "view tab" and uncheck "hide extensions for known filetypes" hit ok and your set! Now you can see .zip, .java, or whatever the extension is!
[Fascinate Android Development] acuralegendz:
I folowed this procedure. It worked. Except when rebooting to recovery from rom manager it reverts to blue recovery and cant go any further. When i use the startup volume keys and power it goes to red. When i use the shut down and recovery from the power off screen it goes to red. Only when I use rom manager it goes to blue. Normally I wouldn't mind because i can still get to it to flash roms but trying to use the blackhole custom rom it would be much easier if I let rom manager flash all the files in a row instead of manually flashing one by one. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.:confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] Pfredd:
Great info - Thanks!

A couple of questions:

Can the Red CWM restore backups taken with the Green CWM?

The Reset Battery Stats command does not give any indication that it worked. I select it, say Yes, I really want to reset battery stats, then I am back at the Advanced menu. Did the reset work?
[Fascinate Android Development] Takafiji:
I think its the kernel to tell you the truth. I saw it in another cwm post that the sammy kernel will replace cwm. Try following this method but add in an odin flash of http://db.tt/6dZUc7d then on first boot go directly to recovery if you get to boot screen start over, once in recovery follow the steps in the first post.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
Rom Manager uses the recovery-update.zip file in the clockworkmod folder. After installing recovery-update.zip in step 5, did you copy the update.zip file on the root of your SD card and paste it over in the clockwork mod folder and rename it recovery-update.zip? It should replace the recovery-update.zip you placed in the folder on step 1. I just used RomManager to boot to recovery and it took me directly to red.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
Yes, it can restore backups from green.

Personally I have the same question about wiping battery stats. I believe there is an issue currently with wiping on FROYO because I have noticed even though I wipe data and cache multiple times before installing any Rom, I still seem to have leftover data from the previous Rom such as wallpapers. I tried wiping on green before I installed red and it did the same thing, so I do not think it's limited to red but rather an issue with FROYO support.
[Fascinate Android Development] lfrench0:
I had to use the odin file first. It booted into red.

Then when I tried it through RM. I went to blue and couldn't verify the signature?

And I when I enter recovery mode manually, and try to select update.zip, it begins but gets about 25% and then the triangle with the exclamation point appears.

It works through odin, but never any other time.

Any help? All is appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
The Odin file just places update.zip on the root of your SD card but you must still follow all of the steps for it to function properly. If it couldn't verify signature something is wrong with the update.zip file on the root of your SD card. Try deleting that and flashing the Odin file again. Then proceed to follow all of the steps again.
[Fascinate Android Development] ilogik:
I installed it and can reboot into green recovery but when installing anything from the rom manager I get a invalid certificate message...
[Fascinate Android Development] lfrench0:
It didn't put it on the sd card. It just rebooted. Seems like nothing changed. I was closer when I put the update.zip on the sd.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
You shouldn't be in green you should be in red. Adrynalyne recently stated that he does not condone the use of Rom Manager since it does not support us very well right now. Though I have used Rom Manager after installing this and everything works. If you are booting into green you must follow the steps after to boot into red and then everything should work except wiping battery stats.
[Fascinate Android Development] Takafiji:
alright folks try this after you flash red cwm vid http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021 using odin or the zip file, delete both update.zip from root and recovery-update.zip from clockworkmod.

This may sound crazy, but i've found out cwm red gets flashed to the boot partition,so theres no need for update.zip anymore.
