Thanks I wanted to keep bang up to date with this thread as im very interested in the way its progressing, also answered alot of questions I would have asked but now know the answers. That is strange as ive had the 7.0.7008 update the other week, my phone is unlocked to any network but still the original O2 ROM if that makes a difference? Is your phone still locked to O2? Due to my phone being on version 7.0.7008 now I wonder if I could just flash straight to the latest pre NoDo ROM or would i still need to flash the one signed by ansar first? Then I would get the NoDo update as soon as MS officialy release it.

Thanks again for your prompt reply it was much appreciated
[HD7 General] ekksman:
Hey, yes you will still need to flash Ansar as well

I Glad Myself & Others Can Put Smile On Your Face.

Ha ha ha lol lol lol..... ..... the day I brought my phone from o2 was the very same day I unlocked it, and I got my 4 Pay As You Go.

Yeah, u still need to flash with ansar.

U see, there are two kind of unlock here. One is, the sim or network unlock while the other is the security unlocked. Here's some info u should know about them 2 if u haven't known already. Those that have the security unlocked phone have the ability to just flash their phone straight up with the NoDo just like that, while the other without the security unlocked phones cant. I am one of them others that cant.

If u want to know which category your phone is. Below is how to do that if you dont know that already.

HERE IS HOW TO PUT YOUR PHONE IN BOOTLOADER MODE:

1> Turn Off or Switch Off the phone.

2> Press and hold down the volume down button.

3> Keep holding down the volume down button and do NOT let go, then Turn On or Switch On, with you still pressing and holding down the volume down button.

4> The phone will boot up to a screen that have Red Green Blue and White (That is the bootloader screen).

5> If the phone is security unlocked, it will be written on the RED part of the screen, if it is not written then the phone is NOT security unlocked.

Thanks!!!

PEACE!!!

ive heard about a private nodo dev unlock, can someone anonyme hook me up :)
[HD7 General] petbede:
What u talking about

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] arh_3000:
Thank you very much for confirming that for me

Same here lol when I went into O2 they said it cant be unlocked yet as it had just been released. Had a quick look on XDA and found that other people unlocked them no problem so bought it then was unlocked 15mins after I had sent off for the unlock code :)

Thats very interesting to know about the security unlocked/locked phones. I did that on my phone and it looks like it is security locked aswell so will go ahead and flash the Ansar ROM first then the NoDo ROM.

Thank you very much again for you help your a credit to this forum
[HD7 General] petbede:
LOL!!! O2 told me the same thing but went further telling me that there are shops out there that do unlock phones that I can go and ask them. I was directed to one by the side lol :). When i went I they wanted the imei for my phone I was like "Yeah Right" lol and I left lol :)

U sure will get it straight up in one go, just follow the instructions I posted on this thread from the starting of the thread.

Thanks!!! We are all a credit to this forum not just me and the programmers but also the readers and the doers lol :)

Glad I Could Be Of Help And Put Smile On Your Face!!!

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] TheDisneyMagic:
I just phoned o2 up, gave them the IMEI number and they sent the unlock code through email. Didn't cost me a penny either, just tell them you are going on holiday in a few weeks time and would like to use a foreign sim card in your phone whilst abroad.
[HD7 General] Dirty H4rry:
My phone is just as I bought it, it is pay and go o2 uk. When I run as bootloader there is yellow text in the red bar, some text in the green bar and a serial in the white bar.

Are there any prerequisites before I try this update? Will I lose my data?

How do you establish active sync? When I put my phone into bootloader mode it only recognises it as a usb device and the ROMupdate utility gives me an 260 error: connection.

Thanks in advance
[HD7 General] arh_3000:
Ideal thanks for confirming that, ive ran through your instructions and worked a treat first time. Im now running the NoDo unbranded ROM :)

That is very true everyone on this forum makes it what it is :)

Thanks again for you help
[HD7 General] petbede:
What do u mean by data, since u just brought it. Here is what u should do though:

1> Use anyone phone and save all your contacts to your sim card cuz the phone itself dont save contacts on simcard.

2> when u flash your phone, yes u will lose everything but gain something new with the NoDo Update - Things like copy and paste and performance improvement.

3> To stop getting error go to the start of this thread, there u will see instructions on what to do, to flash your phone to the NoDo update.

4> You dont need active sync with WP7 but u need zune, so download zune then u can connect your phone to your computer - search for zune download in google

5> It is good that the phone display USB on the bootloader cuz that is the mode the phone need to be to flash the phone.

Are we able to sideload on the NoDo ROM?

If so, how?
[HD7 General] petbede:
U have to wait until the new update from MS is out, cuz I want to check if all I did will work with it. so as not to start writing and programming more hack.

Hello dear , counting down , :):) 3days for 24th

there is another NODO rom released for my phone but i am hesitated to install it ,

as i have been told the rom is full of bloatware from the telstra carrier

Please consider Navigon one of your rom software as it is working with out need any data connection i was tricking it yesterday and WOW it is working on my HD7 like a charm .. can you please help in this ..

Regards,
[HD7 General] petbede:
Yeah!!! The Navigon it great. I got the United Kingdom Map working on my HTC HD7 WP7. It is really a great app.

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] Dirty H4rry:
Sorry I've probably not been very clear in my explanation. When i say my phone is the same as when i bought it (in November) I mean It's still got a o2 carrier branding screen and I haven't unlocked it in any way, does this make a difference.

I still can't get this to work as it's showing up as a qualcomm device and I'm getting a 260 connection error when running the ROMUpdateUtility :(
[HD7 General] petbede:
Read the instructions step by step at the starting of this thread and follow it up, u be smiling in no time.

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] dzotx:
I had the same problem with Win7. I end up using XP (had Active Sync installed already) to get it working. It installed the HTC USB Sync for the bootloader usb port.

If you're using Win7, you'll have to somehow get the computer to recognize the bootloader usb port the same way... otherwise the software won't be able to communicate with the phone and give you the 260 error code.
[HD7 General] petbede:
Yeah!!! U can as well do this:

1> Disconnect your phone from the computer/laptop.

2> Hold down ctrl and alt and press del/delete from your keyboard.

3> A new screen will come up.

4> Then click on Start Task Manager.

5> Click on Processes.

6> Right Click on ZuneLauncher and click End Process Tree.

7> Then click End Process Tree.

8> If the Zune is display there, do the same as number 6 and 7.

9> Connect your phone to the computer/laptop.

10> Click on Start.

11> Type Update.

12> Click on Windows Update.

13> Click on Check for Update.

14> Check the Important and Optional Update.

15> U should see HTC USB Sync.

16> U should know what to do here.

17> You might need to restart your computer/laptop for it to take effect.

Glad I Could Be Of Help.

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] xanderkaiber:
How did you get the UK Map? And how did you install it?

I've got the Navigon app, but I'm not sure how to get the UK maps on there...
[HD7 General] loomx:
Oooh my phone has just told me there is an update, and its updating from this NoDo rom to the latest March update!!
[HD7 General] rhn:
Hey petbede, the official update is out :) When can we have your sideload method :D
[HD7 General] petbede:
Yeah its out. Still wait for it cuz i dont have it yet.
[HD7 General] gfreek:
Just got the prompt to update and have done it, it's now OS Build: 7.0.7390.0!!:D

The update took about 30 mins!
[HD7 General] petbede:
I will be creating another thread on how to do that later. I will post the link here today or tomorrow

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] dememted1:
Anyone from the UK got official nodo yet?
[HD7 General] loomx:
yeh im in the uk and have updated! :D
[HD7 General] GrahamWager:
First just want to massively thank petbede for all the hard work!

Just updated mine too from 7.0.7389.0 to 7.0.7390.0 and it all went smoothly.

Now I might be going crazy but I'm sure the stock rom had an English (United Kingdom) keyboard (and dictionary) but since flashing this one that disappeared, and the official update didn't bring it back either. Is there any way to get this? My phone is dev unlocked (officially) if that helps!

Thanks again! :)

G
[HD7 General] petbede:
Funny as it may sound, i am still waiting for the update and Zune is seeing my phone as guest lol. Will sort it out later by hard resetting but now I am using the old ROM to work with the NAVIGON app and the map for United Kingdom and others.

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] petbede:
I have finally gotten the update message. Funny cuz I didnt get the update with OS: 7.0.7008.0

I had to flash my phone to OS: 7.0.7389.0 then the update came up lol

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] dzotx:
Thanks for the info... got the HTC USB Sync driver installed on my Win7 laptop. :)
[HD7 General] dememted1:
Still no update :-(
[HD7 General] JaCkaL_Sense:
do not worry same as here and my device info below it is a matter of time

as long they send it by serials

be patient you will get it ,,

[HD7 General] dememted1:
My HD7 is unlocked (with official code from O2) , when (if) i get nodo update will it remain unlocked?
[HD7 General] petbede:
What you mean by unlock!!! If you refer to sim unlocked -> Yes it will still be unlocked cuz it is the software that will be updating not the phone. But if you refer to Jailbreak Unlocked -> Yep, then you loose the ability to side loads apps and games. In nutshell, once your phone has been unlocked to any network, no matter what you do the phone wont lock back. Hope that answer your question!

PEACE!!!
[HD7 General] rhn:
Hey petbede, did you get the rom update? Is your sideloading method still working with the new update?

Thanks
[HD7 General] dememted1:
Thanx petbede for your quick reply, Yes i meant sim unlocked.... Looking foreward to the release of your method of app installation.. i'm despirate for a satnav app.. (navigon ;-) ) Thanx again for sharing you knowledge and experiance of this phone

You Da Man !!
[HD7 General] nightfear:
Hi all, I have Chinese HTC HD7. I tried everything i read here but i can not install WM7.

Everytime I somehow try to get to bootloader mode the installation of the ROM (it's default) starts.

I know that many people have the original HTC.

Any help is apriciated !!
[HD7 General] rhn:
Hello,

what do you mean by chinese htc hd7? You have a clone of the original or the original htc hd7 that you purchased in china? If its a clone, You cannot install WP7 on it.

Can you please post a picture of your phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
I understand that a few of you have been using the phone. My contract has ended, and I'm really thinking about getting the Optimus 2X. I have read mixed reviews regarding the phone, and really want to hear from trusted XDA users.

So any advantages, disadvantages or verdicts would be really appreciated :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Hund:
Swedroid.se tested the phone a week ago, Swedroid is the biggest swedish community around Android, and its the only site I trust 100%! They said that its the best Android phone ever, they have tested so far.

You can check out the huge test here: http://www.swedroid.se/test-av-lg-optimus-2x/ (Its in Swedish though)
[LG Optimus 2x] ibahungrig:
I agree with Hund. Swedroid does the best reviews you can ever see on the internet. They know their job and they test pretty much everything.
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
I've had the phone for a couple of days, so here are my first impressions:

Battery: I came from a Sony Ericsson X10i and the battery is a great improvement - can't give any stats though, but have pretty much been using the phone non-stop :P

Screen: Awesome screen with nice vibrant colors, good viewing angles and rather fair in sunlight.

OS: Everything is smoooooooth. Except when you change stuff like usb-mode. Then the media-player looks for new transferred media, but that is expected.

HDMI mirroring works like a charm! Great to show off and good when visiting people when you want to watch a movie.

Watched a couple of tv shows on a long busride today. Just standard 350mb .avi files that worked PERFECTLY! Even subs were crystal clear!

Camera - has some bugs with the blurryness, but I haven't really used it yet. Should be solved with a software update at some point.

I think that's about it.. BEST phone I've had so far and everyone I've shown it to was impressed :D BLING BLING :D
[LG Optimus 2x] LordGabriel:
I envy you x.o

I'm getting a billion force-closes and such nonsense.
[LG Optimus 2x] Gnuig:
Hey Muude.

That sound great... thanx for your words...

I'm very exited to be recieving mine soon from Ellos.dk... they are just soooooo slow...

I can't wait to start watching movies via hdmi ;-))) Nice! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Unimatrix-zero:
Ok, th camera bug is a known problem and it seems to be a software problem.

Could someone kindly try to use another camera from the market? Maybe the results are better? Camera360 could be an alternative app.
[LG Optimus 2x] tinzy71:
What about gps ????
[LG Optimus 2x] Robertfzk:
Do you use a Taskkiller like ATK or something. If you do stop using it, i had the same problems with those force-closes when using ATK. Also you have to bear in mind that it has stock 2.2.2 and most market place stuff is made for 2.2.1 .

My opinion on the LG 2x: I still can not believe it's from LG those guys really went in the right direction. I've had a BB9700 and a Galaxy S (darkys rom) and this LG really is a piece of work. The build is quite solid when compared to Samsungs Galaxy and the preformance is great. Battery live is about 130 % better then the SGS not 160 % as advertised.
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
I've experienced super quick gps fix!

This goes for Google Maps, Foursquare and CoPilot Live..

Works flawlessly and extremely fast to get a signal :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Unimatrix-zero:
It would be nice, if someone could check the quality of the camera using different settings and show us some photos :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Gratje:
I have this phone now for 5 days.

Before I had a HTC legend.

- speed is great.

- there is a lag in the lockscreen (when you press the power button you first see your homescreen, and a second later the lock screen)

- i didnt found a option for the email of my hotmail account to delete te messages from the server.

-I cant add wordt to my dictionary when typing a message.

- had several crashes while doing just nothing (scrolling through menus or something)

- a lot of programs start up by themself. and the advanced task killer is not automaticly closing it even when i put the setting on kill when screen is off.

overall a good phone, but it doesnt feel just that right like a HTC.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ben86:
can anyone say something about multitouch on 2x? in a video i saw its capable to handle 10 points but more interesting would be if its now possible to pinch to zoom and move at a time.

e.g.: in browser you zoom in on a webpage and whlie zooming you move the centre of zooming to an other point like the upper right corner and it zooms to the new centre. ive seen this on windows phone and ios but android so far.
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
How do you set up your hotmail? I haven't been able to do that. On my X10i, when i deleted the messages of my phone, it didn't affect the server either, so maybe that's just they way android is set up.

The standard keyboard is pretty lacking in terms of features..

The random things you experience with programs could be due to the fact that you are using a task killer.. They only cause problems imo.
[LG Optimus 2x] muude:
It does do this, but I don't see the functional purpose of this :P Screen isnt giant and I have enough strength in my fingers to lift them off the screen, pinch and then replace them to another area :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Ben86:
Thats a matter of principle ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twdix:
My stock Captivate with 2.1 was frustrating to use with it's lag. I rooted and applied One Click Lag Fix which really improved the performance.

I'm planning to remove the One Click Lag Fix and unroot the phone before applying the 2.2 upgrade.

Two questions...

1) Will I need the One Click Lag Fix after the 2.2 upgrade (or have they fixed the way memory was configured)?

2) Would a factory reset (before or after) make the upgrade smoother or more predictable?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Should not be using one click lag fix.

2.2 still uses rfs, I would suggest looking into voodoo kernel if you find 2.2 to be laggy

I feel like a noob right now but it wont install on my xoom. what the f? it says im rooted, as i know i am. i cannot get it to install. says im either not nand unlocked yada yada defaut message. help! i really want to get ubuntu on this beast lol.

Ok, how?! I remounted /system as r/w but still got same error....busybox installer also running as su...have no idea how to get this to install...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] idkwhothatis123:
Unzip this file on your computer. instructions are inside. you can read them with notepad or notepad++ (what i use) Works just fine. the app will not work, its annoying.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] slshults:
Instructions in file lose their line breaks when viewed in notepad. here it is with line breaks for those who don't speak linux well enough to figure it out otherwise:

adb remount

adb push busybox /system/xbin

adb shell

#once you're in an adb shell do this

cd /system/xbin/

chmod 755 busybox

./busybox --install -s /system/xbin/

However, after doing so Titanium still thinks it can't get root, even though it is listed in superuser, as allowed so I'm not sure this is going to get me there. I must have some other issue at hand.

i got the ota without relocking, maybe the ota relocked or unrooted? (scratches head.)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dch921:
What I found is when I tried to install busybox from market I get the same error about it not installing. But i pulled up my terminal and su, tried a cp and I got the busybox 1.18.3 usage list.

So even though it errors out it looks like it still installs busybox, at least it did in my case.

The app still shows busybox not install
[Android Software Development] Playon90:
So, I'm a little curious. and I decided that I was going to make my own camera application with eclipse

I created it and it's working just fine. It can take pics and publish them online. but this is not what I want to do. I want to add efects like vignet and others. so my question is. does anyone can explain me or find me a tut. about how to do it.? I tried google etc.. and Couldn't find anything. I'm not lazy to read or anything.

Thanks in adivanced.

I would also be interested in this.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fresh & Minty:
The second most important thing, (after the phone of course) when buying a phone, to me is accessories! I love 'em and they definitely influence my decision on which phone I'm gonna purchase. I made this thread for people who share a similar interest like me to their accessories. So, share your personal favorite accessory brands/items for your phones! This could also help out some unfortunate people having a hard time deciding between accessories.

Mine Are....

• Screen Protector

Brand- Steinheil: Their screen protectors are the best out their, although pricey ($13.99 for clear & olephobic, $16 for fine), they offer 3 options (oleophobic, ultra clear & ultra fine). My favorite is the ultra clear :D

• Cases

Brands- Case-Mate, Otterbox, Speck, Incipio

Of the 4, case-mate is probably the cheapest if you don't posses an iPhone. Their cases, to me, kinda imitate the others cases in a way but with their own twist. They have a lot of creative designs as well. I love all their silicone cases. Vroom series being my favorite. Otterbox is my favorite of the 4. They have the best protective cases out on the market (Their also is Trident. I hear Trident cases are good but they look bulky/ugly & i've never owned one). The defender is the most protective which is a hard polycarbonate outer shell which a silicone case wraps around. Then, you have Speck. I love their pixel skins which are really thick silicone cases with a checkerboard pattern engraved throughout the case. I also love their Candy shell's which are hard colorful glossy cases with a soft silicone layer on the inner part. Then there is Incipio, with their wild and thick, gaudy Dermashot cases which are all silicone. I prefer their extremely thin low profile Feather cases to case-mates Barely Their. I think their much higher quality and fit better.

Well, there you have it. Anyone else care to share? :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] LancerV:
I think Clarivue makes the best screen protectors
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fresh & Minty:
I have tried theirs, and they are really good. But, I think the Steinheil ones have a better texture and are a little more "not there" feeling.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] MattZ71:
All I got is a bodyglove case and a car charger. Thats all my local AT&T store has for now.
