I think you are right, but I went looking through some of the other device's development threads, and the webtops seem different enough that not everything will work across all versions.

However, I would rather have all those posts together in one place where ideas can float around and inspire the different webtop developers, instead of getting lost in the various development forums.

getting your SD card back is a bit harder, you will need to place it in a SD card holder and format it on your PC or in a digital camera, again this is also available on here if you search for it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ejpaet:
Hopefully you either backed up your old card's info, or better yet got a new sd card altogether to use with wp7 on your HD2... I used a Patriot 16gb class4 which worked perfectly well. Until wp7 needed an update in Zune then threw the phone into a boot loop, that's when I restarted the phone in boot loader and reflashed wm 6.5. Now we are as good as new...

If your card is toasted then get a new one (format to fat32) and reflash. I had no problems getting back to the old rom..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Memol:
Check if it is working...

====================================================

DOWNGRADE WINDOWS MOBILE PHONE 6.5 for HTC HD2

====================================================

STEP 1	[1] Disconnect and shut down your HTC HD2.

[2] Remove the SD card from your HTC HD2 and format

it on your computer as FAT32 filesystem.

[3] Copy the file "leoimg.nbh" to your SD card (max 4GB).

NOTE:

This file is in Dutch (NL). If you want an original

file in your own language, you have to download

a new ROM from the HTC website. After downloading,

open it with WINRAR and then copy the file named

"RUU_signed.nbh" to your SD card. Rename the file

into "leoimg.nbh" and your done.

[4] Put the SD card back into your HTC HD2 and restart

it.

[5] At the back of your HTC HD2 you'll see a small red

button. Press this small red resetbutton while pressing

the volume down button. Let go the resetbutton but

hold the volume down. When you see the 4 colored

screen, let go the volume button.

[6] Follow the instructions on your HTC HD2. When the

update is completed you'll have to press the small red

resetbutton again.

[7] The downgrade is now completed. Don't forget to

remove the file "leoimg.nbh" from the SD card.

i just found this post by: SCARFACE

But the problem is it Stuck's when it goes into loading...:( and what ever i did still couldn't solve this problem.

i downloaded an official ROM and followed the instructions... but there is a problem... i don't know where..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
Sounds like you need task29. Follow the Leo link in my signature and use task29 to erase everything to bring your phone back to nothing in memory and ROM. You should then be able to follow regular Leo flashing procedures.

BTW...you should always run task29 before flashing a new ROM whether it's WM or WP7. This little tool makes life simpler because it formats your phone's memory to a pristine state without any leftover artifacts from a previous flash. Most issues after flashing a new ROM are due to leftover artifacts from the previous flash that were not written over by the new ROM.

And you really shouldn't have to take the SD card out of the phone that was used for WP7. Just format it after flashing back to WM6.5 from inside WM SD utilities for formatting your SD card.

Looks like TMobile is starting to push OTA 34.4.9 Froyo Out. Just got it and downloaded it to my phone. If someone tells me where it is downloaded too I will pull it and upload it. Thank god we now have an official rom in the US for Froyo.
[Defy General] chaihg:
Is there an option to not install it after download? Then you could use root explorer and search for it inside out.
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
I tried checking for updates and it says my device is up to date. It might be because I'm on the leaked Froyo...

Can you upload it here please. It should be in /sdcard/ but you might also want to try in /cache/

Thanks!

Thanks matt, personally I like cyanogenmod the best, but I have xperia x10.... the main point of me asking is because I don't have time to research... since I'm xperia I don't know how to do nandroid so I have to learn that tonight. What I would like to know is which one is extremely stable, or are they all?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No one is going to just hand you the answer. Seriously, it will take you all of 2 or 3 hours to research what you need to know.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
There is no perfect build. You are talking about an OS that was never meant to run on the HD2 running on said phone. There is always going to be something wrong or unstable about a build. It's a matter of what you can live with. So there is no true answer to your question. You'll have to pick which one you think will have the least amount of problems and cross your fingers. You might just have to keep researching even after you get his phone flashed because I'm sure you'll have to do it again.

Or you could just teach him how to do it himself because he will have to keep up on which ever build to get the latest fixes.
[HD2 General] mjharis:
There are several Builds, i prefer smal ones without pre installed software.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnr01:
I know you all have heard this before, and I've tried the better part of my day surfing forums, trying to solve this dilemma.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what happened, I had followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_4G:_Full_Update_Guide to the tee (using Unrevoked and Clockwork Mod). Flashing the latest radio, it booted into the ROM well, but it was stuck on 1x and not EV. So I read up that I had to go back to a Sense ROM to try a potential fix. Having trouble, I decided to go completely back to stock.

This is where the trouble really started.

I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=shipped+roms (the very first file) but, there was an error at the end (which I don't recall) but basically the next time I tried Vol Down + Pwr, it would get stuck at the screen with htc in the middle and triangles in the corners.

After further reading, it was suggested that I retry another RUU, but

now the PC won't even recognize the Evo.

I've flashed phones before, so I'm not panicking, but when you spend 7 plus hours frustrated--it starts to take a toll on you.

Any advice is appreciated.

RESOLVED: I installed HTC Sync's USB drivers and it worked out just fine. Rookie mistake. Mods feel free to delete this thread.

I'm finding a lot of threads about changing from pin/password to pattern unlock, but not having any luck in completely disabling the security feature BS...

Is it possible to completely eliminate the password lock required by my exchange server? I have tried lockpicker and no lock, neither of which worked.

I would like to keep syncing but am not going to deal with this unlocking all the time (they JUST started enforcing it)...any help would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Nope, this is tightly integrated down to the OS in order to pass MS requirements, and it reports the control level back to exchange so it can make sure it's in compliance with their mobile device policy.

In theory you can make an app that proxies the API and lies about what the phone can do ... but it wont be done with a simple APK/market app ... it's integration goes much deeper.

Honestly your best best: this is clearly a new policy. complain repeatedly to your IT staff. You're probably not the only one upset ... and noise will result in policy change ... because reality: IT staff hate dealing with people. They want to deal with servers.

Option 2: if you have a buddy on the exchange team he can put you on the same policy he undoubtedly created for himself and his team, that's 10x as lenient so he can mess with his little pet projects he plays with on the side.
[EVO 4G General] awenthol:
Thanks...I figured it wouldn't be that easy but I had to ask. :(
[EVO 4G General] madlyalive:
I get complaints all the time about policies. 99.999% of the time, the policies are created/approved by steering committees, the legal department or executive management. There is usually nothing IT can do about it as the policies are put into place for legal reasons or company security.

Additionally, if IT departments are not compliant in company policies there could be legal ramifications if the company has to comply with certain government guidelines.

And IT staff don't hate dealing with people...it sounds like your work environment is not like others.

They modified the actual email.apk app to remove the security requirement that was hardcoded in it.

It was taken from CM7 which is AOSP, so I cannot say whether or not it will work on sense.

EDIT: After searching some more, droidforums has a modified email.apk file that you can install, that you use instead of the HTC mail, which tricks your exchange server into thinking that you have your security enabeled.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...onal-froyo-bypass-exchange-server-policy.html

Just download the zip, and extract the apk from it, then place the apk on your SDCard and install it just like a regular app.

Bypassing Exchange security

I had this same issue with my work email. My way of bypassing it and still using the stock Mail app is by installing widgetlocker. Unfortunately the newest version does not bypass your encryption, but the older version before the most recent update does. Also it allows you to fully customize your lockscreen and add widgets and what have you. All in all pretty cool app.

[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Amazing! So you guys have a device in your pocket that has complete access to your work mail server (something you don't own), and you apparently don't care if that falls into the wrong hands?

I don't want to get preachy but this is serious stuff:

1. Are you aware of the damage that can fall on an organization, its IP and reputation if a hacker/spammer has access to a mail account?

2. Your company's mail server is an assett of the company. Gaining access and leaving it unlocked is like borrowing something from work and leaving it on the street.

I understand that IT policies are annoying to the end user, but they are there for good reason.

Would you leave the company vehicle unlocked because it is annoying to get the key out? No.

Oh, and by the way, you can be held directly liable for damages for disabling/ hacking around policies. I have seen employees get fired for it.

Sent from my device.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
The issue I have is with the idea that the company gets to dictate how my entire device functions. Your points are valid, but why not just require a password on the email app, not on the whole phone? Why do I have to consent to allowing them to order a full device wipe, instead of just a wipe of the company data?
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Those are some good points and questions:

If you just locked the mail app then the app would need to encrypt/decrypt all data, which would make it MUCH slower. However, the main reason is that the app lock approach is much more hackable..one simple example would be to load a proxy on the phone to intercept communication before it could be encrypted.

The idea behind the device lock is that it happens on a deeper level and is the most secure answer.

The question about having a choice with your device is actually a simple one to answer...if you don't agree with the work policy then don't use your personal device for work email.

The other thing is that, besides not having a choice, the forced answer is beneficial for everyone....if I lose my device then I definitely don't want strangers crank calling my family or getting personal info. I have read about some horrible stories.

The real question is...If your phone is lost why would you NOT want it to be secure and erased asap??

Sent from my "locked" device.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Yes and no. There are approaches that are easier if you aren't securing the whole device, but that doesn't mean it can't still be hacked.

Overall I agree with that, although I think at a company that offers mobile email, there's a sort of "peer pressure" to use it. Not to say that's a good reason. I'd imagine that it'd be hard for a company to actually require you to use mobile email on your personal device -- if your job truly requires it, I'd think they'd have to provide you a device if you don't have a compatible device or aren't willing to use it that way. So yes, you're probably right that you have the choice. It doesn't mean that we can't complain though. :)

If it's really lost forever, yes. But what if:

- The exchange admin sends the wipe command to the wrong phone. ("Hi, I'm John Smith and I've lost my phone.")

- The "wipe after X invalid passcode" policy is enabled. A friend or a kid picks up the phone and tries to play with it. Whoops.

- Something else goes wrong...bottom line is that the company should have no right to wipe anything other than their own data.
[EVO 4G General] awenthol:
I understand the need for locking the device...I really do. But, if someone does happen to find my phone (knock on wood but HIGHLY, HIGHLY unlikely, as I've never even almost forgotten any phone, anywhere, ever) they aren't going to find ANYTHING of value in my emails. I'm pretty low on the totem pole.

If I had sensitive data on my phone...no questions asked, I would keep it p-word locked.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775007
[EVO 4G General] madlyalive:
Your Exchange Admin (or you depending on the version of Exchange you're using) has the ability to remotely wipe your device in the event it gets stolen/lost.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Could anyone give a brief possible explanation of why I can connect to my exchange server easily using Touchdown, but not using the Android integrated Exchange Account Sync?
[EVO 4G General] chrisw99:
Just found this thread as I've encountered the same issue on a HTC Sensation, just setup Exchange ActiveSync, and bam, have to set up the PIN lock on the phone.

However I've noticed that once you've done it, you can then go into Settings, Security and change the timeout before it locks up to 1 hour (I think that is dependent on your company setting). Mine was defaulting to every time the screen locked, but changing it to 1 hour I find I hardly ever have to unlock the phone now apart from first thing in the morning as I tend to use it regularly through the day.

[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
congratulations 1st

i dont think you need to install custom roms. i think the phone is perfect as its " for me anyway "

even though i want to ask you. assuming you know that dual core phones are starting to come from this month. " optimus 2x" with tegra 2 from nvidia, 8M 1080p video recording, hdmi output and 1.3 M front facing camera, why did you pick up the nexus S now ?

did you get it used for a good price ?

or you didnt know about newer phones coming in the market very soon ?

or you dont care about new technology and just want a pure google expierience without any added extra " theme" ?

because reading your question in the first post, you pretty much dont know how did you end up with the phone lol
[Nexus S General] eyals76:
Grats, should be getting mine today :)

going to be my first smartphone.

as for the question above me, at this time i don't see a need for dual core phones.

one of the main reasons why I went for the NS, is that it is not as common as many other phones, I like having something that not many others (atleast in my area) have.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
how do you figure it out ? how do you figure it out that you dont need a dual core phone ?

the prices are not much of a difference, specialy if you are going to buy it new.

i am sorry but unless you provide me with a good reason like super amoled. pure google expiernce whatever, then there is no point of buying the nexus s TODAY when new phones are coming out within week or so.

same cant be applied for people who bought it when it came out in Dec.
[Nexus S General] eyals76:
Why don't I need a dual core phone? simple, for me the phone is mostly for calling and texting, now that i will have a smart phone I will add GPS navigation, emails, music, videos and casual gaming and probably other stuff that i might discover along the way.

From all that I have seen today on the internet and on smartphones that friends have, all these options run great on todays hardware.

Another reason for the nexus s is the 4" screen. most next gen devices are coming out with 4.3" screen, that makes the phone too big for me.

And I like the idea of the update support from google and not needing to rely on the manufacturer for updates.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
all what you said apply on both phones

both are good in calling, both are good in gps emails music videos. and gaming.

the difference is the dual core just does it better in terms of multi media and gaming " better performance "

as for the 4.3 screen. its fine. even though optimus 2x is 4.0 screen and so is the atrix as far as i know

the only reason i see that you might have a point is the updates directly from google. which is good reason enough to buy the phone assuming you are honest with your self when you typed that as one of the main reasons. because yeah it takes much longer to get updates if its not from google.
[Nexus S General] seaelf:
Congrats on the phone.

@ll_l_x_l_ll

1ST) Don't forget that nexus S is a developer phone. If user wanted features, they would be better off buying any other android in today's market. If they want FM, memory slot, better cam, fancy UI, cheaper in price there are many other better options out there in competition to nexus s, and those options where already there before in December then the phone came out. main advantage of nexus s is that it is basic android phone with direct support from google. new software updates comes out to this phone then any other. that is handy for people developing, testing or integrating software for android.

2ND) dual-core cpu, with better performance GPU, bigger screen = short lasting battery, inconvenient to carry.... also dont forget u r buying a phone, not a PC. wont u rather play those nicer games on ur PC then on phone; come on, dont tell me everyone just keeps travelling whole week with no time to sit at a desk and enjoy games, videos, music. I still find it more convenient to send a proper email from my PC then from phone, though i like the fact that i can scan new emails quickly and sometimes send short replies (SMS-like). in short, I think going for those dual-core as soon as they come out would be an overkill. I would rather wait 10 months to a year, and buy the second generation of dual-core phones when they have better-ed battery use, with smaller size and get to choose from more apps that support dual-core.

3RD) for the enthus out there, its a matter of must have, whenever they can afford it, whatever they use it for, even if they understand the phone completely or not, its a toy by their preferred brand
