DFrouter fix, yes this actually puts hd7*schubert) back in zune mode :) - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hey guys,
I wanted to share a solution I came up with that actually worked in putting the phone back in zune mode. you have to buy a Y cable and a gold card. the process is fairly straightforward and takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Check out my blog post here

Works great! Thanks man.
Guys, if a detailed tutorial is needed with a cheeper way of doing that without buying the XTC CHIP - tell me and i'll write something.
Finally I can deploy Apps !!!!!

Hey ofir
You do not need the xtc clip. Just any preprogrammed SD card or create a gold card yourself. The entire setup cost less than $30. Well worth it.

Yes, I know. I've used about 5$ to setup the necessary for fixing the device.
But the tutorials wasn't so good, that's why I've suggested to write a proper guide.

Thanks Ceeshism. I wish there were less condescending people on this site like ofir here, who after reading this post will only reply with another argument.

Can we just do the hd7 hard reset for it.Cause i use the dfrouter now i can't connect to my pc or even zune.
Edit: I try hard reset it didn't work.

I'm still a bit shocked, but it worked! HD7 is talking to Zune again.

just copy the file on a gold card.
connect the goldcard using a Y-Cable to the phone (one side to phone,one side to goldcard,one side to powersource )
then bring phone in tri color (bootloader mode)
it should automatically see the goldcard and the diag file gets loaded.
follow instructions on screen.

ok thanks.

The problem is creating the goldcard although i have copy the 2 files in my m2 memory card from my multicard reader.

"m2 memory card" ?
only sd cards will work and only smaller then 1 GB
"multicard reader" you can't use that one , it need to be a "microsd card reader"

as far as i know the only htc that supports sd flash is the wallaby. although you should find a cable for a reasonable price on ebay.
sorry misunderstood that, your first post is not very clear.

That is not correct. Lots of devices allow you to flash via SD card, including the BA. The only catch is that in order to prepare a card for flashing, you have to have the BA connected to the computer. There is a series of mtty commands that need to be input in order to get the card to be "bootable" for SD flashing. I will post a procedure I found the other day if there is enough interest.

i would appreciate, if you posted a confirmed way to flash from the sd card, because i am running windows 7 x64 and up to now, i have not managed to flash with it... or vmware, virtual pc xp mode or virtualbox for that matter. i would love to try that. even if it means, preparing the sd card with an xp machine for once, assuming that mtty does not work with 7 either, because of the lack of bootloader support.
and please don't post links on how to flash in windows 7, tried all of them, don't work for me.

if it wasn't in the wiki it's probably the reason i don't know about it.
a guide would be great 'cause i'm quite new to flashing pda's. i could use all the info i get cell's aren't a problem but with pda's there are so damn many variations... btw since you have to connect it to a computer to be able to flash via sd, doesn't it kind of kill the point of doing it that way? its designed quite stupidly don't you think?

Hey Chef,

http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf
This is the service manual for the Blue Angel directly from HTC. Towards the end, there is a section that speaks about flashing a rom from SD. The only drawback is that you have to have your device connected to the computer, which kinda beats the whole point of using a SD card. I might take it for a spin just to see if it works.
thanks, i have linked that exact service manual dozens of times for people with hardware issues, but i've never actually read it, because i never had to open my device. i didn't even know there was information like that in there thank you, i will definetely give it a try, as soon as there is a new rom.
upgrade from SD card
Hi.
Well I read this forum since I have a Blue Angle but no cable. So basicaly I cannot connect it to the computer. I was thinking if somebody can prepare an SD card for upgrade than make an image out of it and share it, than maybe this will sort the threader problem. (And my too).
Thank you.

Long story short. i'm trying android again to see if the newest build has better battery life. the last build couldn't hold a charge long enough to make it worht while as a phone.
The only way i've ever gotten android to get data after being flashed has been to get it working in windows first and then installing android.
i've read and searched for a step by step on how to do this and i just haven't been fruitful.

not that Im aware of.. my have to RUU back to stock and start over.
look here for sprint rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vogue/
That would be just fine too... i still don't know how to do it. When i run the rom update utility it gives me a connection error.
Edit: I realize that i'm being vague. Let me try to fill in the gaps. I am putting my phone into the bootloader mode, hooking it up to my PC via USB and running the Rom update Utility with a custom rom. The phone has been unlocked so it really shouldn't have any trouble..

Put your phone in Bootloader Mode by pressing the Camera and Power buttons and then the Reset button all at the same time.
Then make sure you have a radio of 3.4x or above... If not Flash back to a new stock Rom and then follow the threads you were just reading.
If you radio is good go and Download one of the ROMS here on this forum.
Happy Flashing!
P.S Please Ask your Questions in the Q and A section of this forum.

How to Flash a Vogue without ActiveSync
How to Flash a Vogue Without ActiveSync
A method so easy my Mother could do it.
Not suggesting there's anything wrong with my mother, just that she's not all that technically oriented.​
Here's an easy way to flash your HTC Vogue without using ActiveSync. It would likely be a great method to use if you had many Vogues that all needed to be updated as well. Works great for those not using Windows, as well.
Look around for a Transflash (aka MicroSD) card, one that you can erase, 2GB or less.
Use your Windows machine to make sure it's freshly formatted as FAT32]
Copy the ROM you want to flash to the card.
Rename the file you just copied to VOGUIMG.nbh If you are flashing a different model, you need to be sure you have the right file name for it. I think the pattern is the first 4 letters of the model name with IMG.nbh after it, but if it doesn't work, don't blame me,
Put card in phone.
Enter bootloader mode by holding the CAMERA and POWER buttons, while pressing the RESET button in the little hole in the bottom of the phone. (don't bother to connect it to your computer)
Enjoy a caffinated beverage of your choice, or an alcoholic beverage of your choice, or heck, a nice tall glass of cool water while you wait.
Watch as your phone automagically flashes itself!
Congratulate yourself on a job well done.
This is what I'm going to use from now on for flashing with a Mac or Linux. For those addicted to flashing, you can even take a collection of cards with you. I'm not yet sure if you can have multiple ROMs on one card, and just rename the one you want to flash or not yet, but I'll likely find out soon.
ATTENTION:
Missing any of these will make it NOT WORK:
Card must be normal SD, not SDHC or XDHC. No bigger than 2GB
Card must be formatted with FAT32. They often come formatted FAT16 or plain FAT, and a previously-used card could have just about any format on it -- NTFS. HPFS. HFS+. EXT3 -- Format it right to be sure.
Be sure you have the right name. I've heard that CaSe cOuNtS -- the name above has been cut/pasted from a working reflash card.
There is no #4.
Have fun!
Oh yes, just in case:[Lawyer]You are responsible for your own actions. This information is provided as a public service, and I wave all responsibility for it's correctness or how it is used. If you brick your phone, it's your fault. If your phone explodes, not my problem, but I'd like the remains.[/Lawyer]

Root without goldcard?

I am really grateful that a root has been found. However as my card reader is broken, I am currently unable to make a goldcard and so cannot root frustratingly. Does anyone know of a way to root without one please? Thanks in advance.
Not possible, sorry!
But then again, you don't need a card reader, you can use the phone (that's how I did it). Just follow the Modaco guide.
Sorry I am not actually a member of Modaco, do you think you could the link for the guide ( I assume you mean for creating goldcard in phone.) Cheers.
Here it is, you don't have to be a registered member to view forum posts:

A more detailed guide here:

Thanks, but what I mean is that in the end the SD card need s to be connected to the computer and I can't do this last bit.

Unable to use SD Card

I started a thread elsewhere and have been advised to put it here for a speedy resolution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9785290#post9785290
In essence, I have an HTC TP2 running WM 6.5 Pro supplied by Vodafone here in the UK. I have an 8Gb SD card (unknown manufacturer) formatted to FAT32. On the card I store all my WM apps, plus all my folders with files, docs, pictures, video, etc.
On the card I installed Ubuntu and XDAndroid via the 2.2 Froyo.112210 cab
The Ubuntu worked fine, The XDANDROID looked great and on the face of it worked fine too, until I tried to set the ringtone. I realised I was missing calls and notifications because it was on Silent, and I could not change it. I tried to open my music and videos, but the apps said i had no SD card. I checked memory in Settings and it stated that the SD card was mounted, but gave no size info and would not let me Unmount it. I then tried to search media on the card and had no joy. In essence it did not seem to recognise the card.
I then bought another SD card, this time a Kingston 16Gb already formatted to FAT32, added all the files and docs, it too would not work. I have since been round and round the loop of deleting both SD cards, reformatting to FAT32 using both my default Ubuntu app on my Laptop, gParted via my Laptop and the phone. None work.
I now am still on WM 6.5 because I can not use the phone.
I have searched Google and the Forum, and other than formatting to FAT32 I have seen nothing that can help, but that may just be my searching skills.
It has been suggested that some makes of card do not work also.
Other things that I have found a problem:
The keyboard does not light up when I use it, which is impossible poorly lit rooms, etc
Can't find a way of viewing folders, I'm sure there will be more once I get it going...
Any help, please!!!!!
Format with the HP tool. Full format.
Keyboard backlight doesn't work in Linux/Android yet. We're working on it...
Can't find a way of viewing folders...? Astro, OI File Manager...? There's a ton.

Either way, download extract & copy or just download & extract straight to your SD.
I don't think anyone should ever use the CAB install. The only benefit you get is a shortcut, which can easily be created manually.

BRILLIANT - WELL DONE... Yes, this is the answer. Not reformatting. God knows how many times I tried and the number of different tools and processes of formatting. None worked.
This worked first go.
I am now just going through the device to fine tune and no doubt will find any glitches or queries.
So, short cut for all readers.
DO NOT USE THE CAB, Use the compresses RAR file.
http://reefermattness.scepterr.info/XDAndroid2.2Froyo.112210.rar
Save on the desktop of your Laptop/PC.
Connect device to the Laptop/PC
Extract to the root of the SD Card
Take out the Programs folder from the extracted folder on the SD Card and put in the Root of the SD Card - this may clash with the WM Programs folder, but I use Ubuntu so it allowed me to merge the two nicely.
Then off you go, boot up....

I'm happy to hear that you had your problem solved.
AFAIK this bug just happenned with the latest version - the Froyo FRX03. I'm using Ubuntu as well, and the after I bought my new Memory stick, I formatted it with the Ubuntu Disk Utility, and the Cab - the Eclair - worked very well...
But like arrrghhh have said, yea people shouldn't use the CAB install. You gotta spend time installing it (and it usually takes quite long), and just to have its shortcut...

Maybe, all I know is that I had trouble getting any releases to work, and spent ages searching for fixes, which is where I first encountered other's issues with the same problem. All suggested a reformat. And the only fix that worked was the zip Maybe if I had used the zip before I would not have had all this trouble.
Now that it works, I need to look at all the other little issues.
Light on all the time
fast use of the battery
Seems to lock up sometimes requiring soft restart
No Blue tooth
No camera
and I can't see my music or pictures, though i can see all those for the various apps!

You really need to at least read the FAQ dude, c'mon these are BASIC questions/problems.
I did tell you to reformat, I didn't think the cab was the issue honestly - I don't ever use the cab, as I think it's quite unnecessary... But others use it just fine AFAIK.
this worked for me...thanks
i installed the cab first and i also had this same problem with the sd card. i tried the zip file and that didn't work either. Then i used the hp tool that is mentioned in post #2 to format the sd and then tried the zip file again and BINGO. So i think a combination of formatting the sd and using the zip file works best. thanks alot guys for all the help. it sucked not having any sound

Could be, but also suggested are gParted, which is a good format tool. The HP is for Windows machines. I use Ubuntu which is Linux, just like Android, so when I installed, it did so within WINE, which is Windows tool for running their apps on Linux. It's not perfect and in this case it could not find the USB ports. No worries though as I think the zip method was the ultimate solution for my senario

You really need to at least read the FAQ dude, c'mon these are BASIC questions/problems.
I did tell you to reformat, I didn't think the cab was the issue honestly - I don't ever use the cab, as I think it's quite unnecessary... But others use it just fine AFAIK.

A little unkind arrrrghhh... The issues I raised in this reply were immediately after having managed to get the device working. And yes, I know some are in FAQ, though no solutions to most and many are not.
The power issue and the no ringtones options are not. The power has meant that I can not use Android and have gone back to WM for now. I used 2 batteries yesterday and ran out of charged batteries by 6PM! It should last over 24hrs per battery.

Well I'm glad you have such strong opinions about how this project should be. Keep making demands, it's very helpful...
Anyhoo, this project is for TESTING PURPOSES, it's not ready for prime-time yet. Have fun with it, but don't think it's meant to replace WinMo.
Also, all of your questions have been answered before - maybe they're not all in the FAQ, but most are. However, every single question you've asked has been asked before - use search!

Oh, yes, sorry, I am a bit forceful.
Actually, the device in Android has completely died. I have a blank black screen. Sad moment. I like the look, the feel and the way this project works, but it has a long way to go before it is a serious contender, sadly.
UPDATE: I plugged it in to my Laptop to effectively start over, and suddenly the PIN window appeared... We are back on. The ways and wonders of SW.
sd card
my girlfriend and i both have the same phone. I have a PNY 16GB sd card in my phone and she has a SanDisk 8Gb. I dont have the problem with android not reading my sd card and i used the cab file, but android wont read her sd card. did everything the same on both phones, so i am kinda thinking it is the maker of the sd cards.

I have heard this before, which is why I mention my card type in the thread
phone works fine, winmob works fine, if i use 4gb sdcard, android works, BUT
it android does not recognise sdcard(inside android),
if i use a 2gb sd card, inside android, the sd card is recognized.
When i use the 4gb is says sdcard not available,
format of both sd cards is the same, software is the same, android is the same.
for last: ANdroid is with both sd cards working, only inside android there is difference with both cards.
My experience and from what I have seen in my threads and searching is:
1. The SD card itself may make a difference. I have had and seen comments that some makes of card do not work or work as well as others.
2. The card should be formatted externally, i.e. gparted, HP's device or whatever to FAT32
3. The installation of Android should be done by downloading the zip to your PC/Laptop and then copying to the root of your SD card, then it tends to stand more chance of working.
I can second guess someone will contradict me, but I spent 4 months trying to get it working, including working with a developer... And following some advise this is what I found was the only way to make it work.
Give it a bash, but it is what ever works for you.
PS this is only a project so whilst the OS is absolutely fantastic it does have some things that do not work or work well. Good luck
