I got my self a RIFF box and I just finished fixing a friend's HTC HD2, and I thought it was quite simple.

I've seen many users here posting about bricked HTC HD2.

If you're interested please PM me.

PS. I'm posting here because I want to know if it's worth it actually posting an ebay ad.

that's not something he can fix, sounds like you need a new mainboard.

yes you should put a add on ebay. i bricked my phone twice and i have to send it to texas twice so if you can do all phones it would be a good thing for some one in this country to unbrick phones. i no phone shops are not doing it, even small repair shops.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
I have the opprunity to get an hd2 plus $100 for my Vibrant (was suppose to get a nexus S) but I don't know what to do, this place is pretty boring now (not bashing you guys) I seriously love all of you devs/Vibrant owners,ect, but there's nothing really going on here anymore, while the hd2 is getting new roms left and right, and kernels, and it also has wp7 (yuck, well not that bad) my question is WHAT SHOULD I DO? ;] If you were in my shoes, what would you choose?

PS: Please don't get upset (that would be a bad idea), I love my phone, and our devs :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
If you're bored with the Vibrant then get a new phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman818:
If I were you I would get the hd2. You wont believe how much development that phone has. It has more than the nexus one. The build is pretty good also. Aluminum back plate, 4.3 inch screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
About the only thing the HD2 doesn't have is our fantastic screen. Other than that, it is THE flashers phone. So many choices, you wont ever be bored. I love my Vibrant, but everyone has their specific wants/needs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
Good idea? Duh

Yeah, that's what I was thinking the phone has a lot going on, I just don't want that feel of "oh man I downgraded"

Another down fall, The screen resolution isn't the best, this made me wonder also.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Yeah I've got an HD2 in the house, the screen is noticeably worse, a little washed out. But Im jealous of the dev activity there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
Me too. i want a new phone. :/ But i'm stuck at vibrant for years.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Hd2 comes with a small battery 1300 something mah
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
Im in the same exact boat as the OP.

I have an offer to trade my Vibrant for a HD2 also.

Also having a hard time deciding. Its been almost a year since I been on Android/HD2 not to mention it has the ability of WP7 now.

Trying to decide if I want to loose my SAMOLED Screen / 2 Batteries / 720p Cam for the HD2 which has plentiful of Roms / bigger screen / 3 OS choice / *Stable GPS*

Even though there isn't much development going on for the Vibrant we do have a Android phone that is a whole more stable than Android on the HD2. But then again its been months since I had a HD2.

I have up to tomorrow morning to make my decision LOL.

Your going to miss vibrant when cm 7 gets fully functional!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Yeah but CM7 has been fully functional on the HD2 for a little while now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
I personally have a vibrant and a hd2, and I must say I am torn on which to use daily. If you want android, then stay with the vibrant. Though the hd2 nand android is fairly fast and stable, there are those small quirks such as freezes and not being able to charge when the phone is off. However, if you like tinkering, then hell, go for it. Sd builds, nand builds, wp7, winmo, and hopefully meego soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbm21:
Get the hd2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
Coming from a hd2 its nice flashing different roms asop to sense. I was just there from the start so the bugs got old. My digitizer went out and I didnt feel like doing it anymore .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
Ahh I see, I just have no idea what to do! Were basically thinking the same, but I don't want to think of losing the screen quality, and I barely know about making an ex2 partition for my apps (on the hd2) and I'll miss the 16gb of space. It's so hard, I don't want to get that (sucks for you, you downgraded) feeling, but then again, I want to tamper, and hack my phone, and the screen size would do a lot of justice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Don't worry, the screen size makes up for the quality. And in reality, under decent light, the hd2 has a fairly good lcd screen that is comparable to my old nexus one. Just don't tilt the screen and change viewing angles. Strangely enough, when I come back to the vibrant it's screen feels cramped.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
With the LED display and 720p camera and forgot to mention the onboard 16GB +(my 16GB from older HD2) I might hold on to the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
Iv'e had a change in heart, I'm going to keep my vibrant, and enjoy it until the sgs2 comes out! I love this phone!

In all reality, I forgot that I can flash i9000 due to Eugene's kernel, and the services.jar, so as of now, I'm okay, tomorrow.. who knows.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas_born:
Had the hd2 also. I wasnt happy with the phone freezing all the time. I put android on it but after a few weeks the digitizer went out. Phone is now useless and literally collecting dust on my shelf.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reynaldolp:
I have the hd2 and the vibrant. After I got the vibrant with its beautiful screen I just couldn't go back to looking at my washed out screen on my hd2 despite the Rom madness its been getting for ongoing month now. The amoled screen just has me hypnotized lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashpunks:
Man, people have different wants and needs, I had a hd2, and no way would I choose the vibrant over it, buggy, buggy ,buggy, I don't care how much development it has... No way, the thing can't even play games well, accelerometer is wack, (on android), and just weird...

Don't do it...

Why yall need to flash so much?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevbin20:
Get the HD2 and the $100.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhonal89:
Forget the screen. Is that the only thing holding you back geez. Once you start using the hd2 you won't even remember how that vibrant screen looked until you compared them side by side. If you want development go with the hd2 my brother has it and its far ahead of the vibrant. Go to the hd2 development section and take a look read and then decide if your staying or leaving.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
I also have both like many others do. The HD2 is a great phone if you like to flash new roms all the time. I think the longest I have used the HD2 at one time is a week. I always end up switching back to the Vibrant for long periods of time due to it being a much better phone. Better camera, HD recording, better screen and call quality. Speaker phone is much better and it doesnt seem to be as laggy as the HD2 and I have tried almost every rom. Current set up on the HD2 is Magldr1.13 with JawsMIUI which is pretty nice.

If I were you I would keep the vibrant and save up to buy a HD2. End the end if you trade the Vibrant for the HD2 YOU WILL quickly miss the Vibrant again.

Ok this is by far the best rom out for captivate if you new to flashing just start and end on this flash everything as it will be addictive and save this one for last as you will be hanging out for a while on it, I have flashed everyone I think, by far its the best I was on the Phoenix trip for a minute and was grooving it was cool and the latest release was cool with the added gps goodies, then even supernova, but I always came back to digi11igaf.......I know there has to be a way to save more battery on it but its worth charging it twice a day.....

Yes that is what members should do if a thread or post is improperly made. I at least tell people when and why i report things...you don't have to agree but there are forum rules for a reason. Best Tom threads get locked because of what I said; they are up to each user to decide which works best for them. I used this rom and for me it didn't work as well as others. That doesn't make it the best rom IMO only because my phone didn't like it.

There are so many factors with roms and the captivate that its impossible to say one is best. I am glad it is the best in both of your opinions...but it doesn't change my origional post of why I reported the thread.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
So, I find this VERY odd and am hoping to get some insight on it.

I recently went from Royal Ginger, to Royal Glacier, back to Royal Ginger. Both times when flashing to each, I did a full wipe except the Format SD card.

When I flashed back to Royal Ginger, everything was the same as I'd had it before, when I was on R-Ginger the first time...down to the custom wallpaper I was using and the icons and how they were arranged on the screen.

If I did a full wipe twice, then shouldn't it be like I'm flashing it for the first time? I could understand a wipe not working once, but twice cannot be a coincidental.

Any ideas what the heck is going on here?

PS- just for sh*ts and giggles, I flashed back to R-Glacier...and it was stock, like I'd never used it before. So something is deff up here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] daedric:
Hello every one.

I'm the proud user of a HTC Touch Diamond. It has served me well since day one, and now i want to make it even better.

I need the phone to work. And i need Android (read: want). So i'm asking everyone which version do you find more stable. What i need:

Phone. Must work. Must work well. Cannot wait 20 seconds for the device to wake up (while ringing) to show me who's calling me. When i decide to pick up, the other guy gives up, or the call os forwarded to voice mail.

Wifi is a must, that sim has no data plan.

Battery, though superficial due to a 2400mAh bat, it takes alot of calls and sms's.

Market. Must work.

Camera is a bonus, helps here and there.

The rest is rest. i don't need bluetooth, GPS, or anything like that. Anything from 2.1 forward is enough. So... i'm open to suggestions.

I did this same question of the kaiser section, and was greeted with 2 very stable versions. One Eclair and one Froyo.

I'm currently using that one.

Though "snappy", its quite slow. Market is a pain. (Wifi)

Takes too much time to wakeup and show the screen (i actually have to unlock to see the screen).

Looking for something else maybe. 3D isn't a must.

[Nook Color General] Steelfan555:
I went to install Phiremod v4 from the EXT4 CWR. It did something funky and wiped out my internal memory (dont know if its just boot or what.)

Oddly, before I was also using NF on a SD, but now it will not work either. I tried other SD cards, and other rom to boot from, with no luck.

When I power up, it is a blank screen. Oddly enough, when I power up using N+power, windows recognizes it as new hardware for a few seconds, but then fails.

Anything else I can do?

I can probably return it, since it seems there is nothing on the emmc, but want to tinker with it for a while.

[Nook Color General] Steelfan555:
When I dd'ed clockwork and then looked at it in GParted, it said nothing was there. But when I put it in my nook, it at least tried to boot this time. Then I tried NF again, but this time it wont fit on my SD for some reason.
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Your sd image gets reduced due to the partition of clockwork. You can boot into the clockwork sd card, remove the card, (your nook will still be on and in clockwork) format the card via your computer, put the image you are going to flash, then insert the card back into the nook and flash your zip.

Edit: also make sure you're using the right booyabl we sd for your rom of choice. Nookie froyo requires ext3 format whereas cm7 needs ext4 format.

[Nook Color General] will2live:
I was in the same boat as the OP the other day. Odds are there is nothing wrong with the device. Its almost next to impossible t obrick a Nook. Speaking for myself for whatever reason my bootable sdcard was hosed. I went and grabbed a buddies 1Gb card to test and after I redownloaded and burned a 1Gb bootable sdcard IMG all was good to go again. that said if you have a spare sdcard ( any size ) I'd downlaod the current 3.0.1.0 IMG and burn it to the sdcard. Once done toss the card in the device and power it on and it should boot directly into CWR off the sdcard. If it does power down and then move a ROM over to the sdcard and frie it up again so you can reflash it

Edit: Most current bootable sdcard IMG file can be grabbed from here Post#4

How many people have there data network turned off via power menu because they dont have a data plan for the vibrant?

If you turned them off then i dont think you will be able to send a picture message(mms).

Ive had this problem and i just found out today that if you turn this on you will be able to send picture messages.

This might only apply to a small amount of people.

So all you have to do is turn on your data network via power menu and you might possibly send mms.( If you have this problem)

I guess for some reason you need data network to be on to be able to send mms?

EDIT: This might work with other phones too. Worked on the HD2 for tmobile.

It was the first app I always installed when updating my Windows 6.5 roms and basically what it allowed you to do was set parameters for when your data (3G connection) would remain active i.e you could set it to turn off 3G when the screen turned off or set it to only turn on 3G when apps were syncing etc.... Is there anything similar on Android? All I seem to find are apps that allow you to turn 3G on or off manually. Is there anything that can automate the process like WMLonglife did?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

APNdroid. Sense ROMs should have a toggle built in for you to turn on/off the data.

Hi,

Thanks but, as I said in my OP, I was wondering if there is an app that will do it automatically when needed rather than you having to click data on/off every time you want to disconnect.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] driftin:
I'm currently using a USCellular (CDMA) Touch Pro2, on a GSM network (Viaero wireless, in Nebraska). In WinMo, everything works fine, and when I boot into Android everything that should work does... except... Anytime it sleeps, it drops it's connection to the GSM network and doesn't connect till I wake it. That means any calls, texts, emails, etc that come while it's asleep don't show till I manually wake it (or in the case of calls, they go to voicemail). I've tried searching, to no avail, so I was wondering if any of you smarties can help. My startup.txt is as follows

set ramsize 0x10000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2292

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off gsensor_axis=2,1,3 force_cdma=0 board-htcrhodium.is_cdma=0 pm.sleep_mode=2 physkeyboard=rhod400"

boot

the pm.sleep_mode=2 was based on advice I found by searching and tried, but no dice, still dropping... it was set to 1 before...

Any ideas? I would LOVE to run Android as my daily, and AFAIK this is the only thing stopping me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] snalbansed:
I don't know it will help, but on any recent kernel I believe you should use sleep mode of 1.

I had it that way, but when I did it wouldn't see the GSM at all, it would try CDMA, and then fail and drop into airplane mode... That's when I tried setting it to 0, and was able to get a consistant signal, except for the sleep issue...

Thank you for your reply!
