[Q] HELP!!!!

Hi, hope im posting in the right section.
i have had my desire since it came out , rooted it straight away , flashed loads of diffrent roms (from here) but now all of a sudden my desire has started crashing all the time and when i say all the time i mean about every 15 mins. I take the battrey out, boot use it for a min then when i next go to use it it wont do anything and i have to take the battrey out again and boot.
i have tried lots of diffrent roms it still does the same, i have even tried to run backups from rom manager and still the same. i have run antivirus still the same.
any ideas
thanks

It sounds like a kernel issue (too much undervoling or overclocking maybe, and some ROMs might not contain a kernel image), but first of all it would help us if you told us what ROM you're actually using right now.

Try to flash your sd rom.
If you use a2sd..partition again.
Full wipe again and flash you favorite rom.
If the problem still percist....Flash an official rom better old one 2.1 for no change to newer boot. Test the device if still freeze.
If everything ok, root again your phone ...partition again sd and then flash your favorite rom.

I've been having the same problem mate. Just flashed back to stock 2.1 and all seems fine now. Will reroot later this week and see what happens!

Right sorry for the late reply the misses made me paint the kitchen before the new floor was put in.
well tried everything so then tried flashing back to stock but it carnt find bootloader (using magic mem card)
any more idea's?
ps im using aurxtsense 8.0
i was thinking it was something to do with clocking as well.
mine seams to have calmed down now, it still couldn't find bootloader though when i tried to flash a stock ruu.
i formated my memory card and re-flashed aurxtsense 8.0 and it hasn't crashed since.
haven't tried doing anything since because i aint got time to sit and sort it out at the mo if something goes wrong again

Not sure what the means but you should be able to flash the ruu from HTC or if your phone is branded then one from the network. There's a like to them all in the dev section.
Can tell u though that I flashed back to stock and had no problems. Bit since rooting again its back. Even wiped my SD card and recreate the partitions. Doesn't seem as frequent this time though. I went straight to a hd Rom. It never used to happen on older custom roms and do think its something to do with the volting & clocking.

help pls... :)

My Desire is rooted and running a custom ROM however ever since I've flashed my the first custom ROM my phone keeps warming when I use it for a while and Randomly reboots... I'm at my end as no ROM can escape this issue and I cant solve it!!!!!!!!
Ok enough venting.. Im taking it in for repairs....I'll follow the 'how to unroot' guide, can someone please advise on a stock ROM to use for the Vodacom network in South Africa so I can adjust the phone accordingly...
Thanks!!

Repair for a software problem? Do you wipe all data and all caches when installing a new rom?

Yes I do... and I've tried a few ROMs
I googled the rebooting problem and came up that 1000's of folks have this problem... could be the motherboard or something...?

My Desire usually heats up a bit when I use it for more than 10-15 minutes without any break (battery widgtes show a temeparture of up to 42°C), especially when browsing while on 3G. This has never caused me any kind of problem, like it hasn't for lots of others as well, so there may be nothing wrong with your device.
As for the reboot issue, have you tried flashing another kernel? You could try one of coutts kernels or a vorkKernel, both worked really fine for me and have very good ratings around here

Tried a couple kernels with ... no difference...

A boot up problem can be anything, just about anything but is usually related to software. Send it in for repair but install an RUU on it to make it more HTC ish

I agree. Just look to see if the problems you are having disappear after you install the RUU, so maybe it will have been an issue with your current software configuration and you don't have to send the phone for repairs

[Q] Hutchison 3G UK (Three UK)

I have an HTC Desire HD on three in the UK and want to flash it to get rid of the crud they stick on there. I have rooted the phone and have busybox installed.
I want to know if Android Revolution HD 4G 3.2 or AR HD 2.0.9 will go on without any problems, and which radio to install if necessary?
I have downloaded radio 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.1 and 12.35d.60.140f.26.06.03.24.m2 in preparation.
I have radio s-off and eng hboot s-off ready to go.
Thanks for any feedback guys.
PS:- Really need to do this as I had a stock DHD originally, but shattered screen and liquid crystal got onto PCB and fried it and replacement is full of 3some crap including the stupid startup animation taking phone from 10 seconds to boot to now nearly 2 minutes.
:-(

I have got rid of the three crud from mine.
First install clockworkmod recovery then do a nandroid backup.
You can wipe most of it using broot explorer. System>apps and delete relevant apks. I suggest moving them, rebooting, checking all good and then deleting.
The ****ty start-up thing can be removed by flashing the splash screen. (mine now is my name and email address - done via PhotoShop). There are instructions on how to do this in the themes section.
The other startup anim is a zip file. I can't remember where it lives but I seem to think it is not in the standard place. I found it by doing a search on root explorer. By moving this to a directory on the SD card you can disable this.
Only thing left really is things like home pages on browsers.
All that being said. I am running Android revolution gingerbread beta with it's recommended radio and it works fine. Battery and sound seem better.
Although Three seem to be quite good these days, the branding of phones is obtrusive, chavvy and ****e.

Just getting permission denied errors when trying to delete the .apk files from root/system/app folder.
:-(
Will this problem go away when new Rom flashed in?
Also will doing s-off change the CID (carrier ID) ?
Thanks

If you used jkoljo's easy radio s-off tool, the cid should be changed now.
You said you have eng hboot, right? Boot into bootloader and go to system info. If yours is. 11111111 (don't remember how much 1's there are, lol) you have superCID

WooHoo!
I have sucessfully flashed AR 3.2 and newest recommended radio!
No more 3UK crud, its awesome quick and radio seems fine.
Will check wifi connectivity later but bluetooth seems a little quicker.
I will let my battery monitor calibrate for a couple of days and let you know whether battery life any better. If not will flash back original 26.03.02.26_M radio.
Just one more thing....
Changing boot animation on phone? Cant seem to find it anywhere on phone.
What format is the animation? width? height? fps? gif? mjpeg?
any suggestions, did a search of the forums but cant seems to find anything specific, so thought you might know as you had a phone that 3UK had previously wrecked
LOL
any help greatly appreciated

Hang on, Three UK are customizing the ROM's?!
Mine came as Stock ROM. :S

The first screen you see is called the splash screen. This can be flashed via fastboot. See the themes section
If you mean the tilt up the tree. Dodgy animation, like a student art project that is a zip file, sequential pngs if I remember. I think a search for .zip via root explorer would work.

solved
Thanks for all the help. Fully flashed, new splashscreen, new boot and shutdown animations with sound!
Now just need to add a signature to my account on here...
Hmmm, now how do I do that...?

aaargh bloody three
Update:
Smashed my screen, sent back to three for repair. All I can say about the repair guy is...
DUMBASS!
So everything was fine other than screen when it went to three (checked via pc usb cable and sync software) ... not any more.
Despite my splash screen listing all details of the OS and radio ROMs, they flashed back the stock ROM but not the radio and screwed the recovery.
Now I have no Bluetooth, no WiFi, power led permanently lit green, intermittent crashes, no SDcard access (therefore no camera, no video, no music player), only boots 1 time in 5 from powerdown, plugging in charger reboots phone every so often, battery lasts about 9hours on standby with all internet connectivity off.
All I can say is...
DUMBASSES!
Why couldn't they leave custom ROM well alone?
Phone goes back to them on Monday to sort out. I know from seeing what they have done that they won't be able to work out what they have done, so pretty sure that they'll send replacement.
I'm doing it this way to prove a point to them (and get an unscratched phone LOL)
Will report back when phone comes back from the puppets at 3

I could be wrong here but I'm sure if you put custom roms, ENG and S -OFF etc it invalidates ya warranty, so if they wanted to they could tell ya they won't fix it.

If they check they phone and quote you a repair cost or send you the handset back as is and 3's repairs are manufacturers plus a markup

Stuck in a very, murky, muddy, Desire HD puddle......

Right. Here we go.
Yesterday, I used HTC devtool and easy ace tool to be rooted and unlocked bootloader. Im still S-On. Ace Pvt Hboot.
Had all sorts of problems. Firstly, with PacMan, which looked and worked fantastic, except no GPS lock, AT ALL, (important to me) soi tried Jellytime and CFX, but all three had issues, and GPS worked on none. I believe this is because the radio is the original one, but dont have the knowledge, skill, or importantly courage to flash an updated radio.
So, tried to flash and EXT4 recovery, with the tool from Google Play. Will not work. Saves to a folder on SD but still boots in CWM recovery So I cant use EXT roms properly. I tried to go back to PacMan, but I cant even do that. I wipe and format, and reflash the boot image, but every time it wont load correctly - something ddoesnt work, and I get errors. Latest was Android Keyboard is not working, so I cant do anything!
Attempted to put ViperDHD rom on to go back to something like stock (GPS worked great on stock!!) and worked ok, with some funny issues on initial boot but settled down. But, STILL no GPS.
Decided stuff it, go back to stock . Downloaded stock RUU and attempted to install, but, of course, it wont work.
So, in short, I have a fantastic Desire HD, that wont flash EXT4, wont go back to stock on RUU, and I cannot find a ROM that will work with GPS. On some, wireless doesnt work either.......
So, if someone could help me to either make my GPS work on ICS or Jellybean, or, help me go back to where I was, (GPS working!!) before I started all this, I'd be eternally grateful. I dont have money to spend on a new phone, so I'll even put some money in your development coffers as a thankyou for helping me out. I just need me smartphone to be smart again, not the useless pile of Sh*te it is right now
My previous post about lack of GPS proved fruitless, no replies. BUt I am hoping that one of you Desire HD gurus will rise to the challenge that I face right now and help. I cant but you a beer, I cant do much at all, but of you help me fix my problem I will, I promise, be eternally grateful. I'll even send your missus flowers by Interflora if that helps!!!:silly: Seriously, I really need someone who knows there stuff to give me a hand out of a hole.
My thanks in advance.
Phil

Hey there. Seems like you've gotten yourself into quite a little mess there.
First of all, I'd recommend you flash BlackICE. Its a Gingerbread based ROM but I know for 250% fact that it is rock solid and the GPS works.
After that, I believe you're going to have to manually flash the recovery using fast boot (hit up the link for the Ace Think Tank in my signature for guides and any additional help you might need)
Finally, another bulletproof ROM I recommend is IceColdSandwich. I personally know that this ROM is 100% stable and that the GPS works.
If you need any additional assistance, feel free to post in the Ace Think Tank. And as always, be sure to drop a thanks if I helped or anyone else helps!
Edit: ViperDHD isn't based on stock my friend. Its based on the One V stock ROM as far as I know, so its been ported from that. An amazing stock based ROM is Android Revolution HD, which I've tested personally and found to be bloody amazing!
Also, the RUU won't flash as you'll have to relock your boot loader. Use fast boot to to that if you still want to return to stock
Edit 2: also. Please refrain from creating multiple threads. I know its tempting but the desire HD is slipping into the legacy stage, where I treat and development is slowing down. If you must get an answer quick, either 'bump' your thread (simply post the word 'bump' and it'll push it to the top of the list, so it'll show as unread. Be aware that you can only do this once every 24 hours) or post in the Ace Think Tank.
Thanks

Thanks for coming back to me mate, it is greatly appreciated.
Ok, deep breath, and after my above and considering your reply, I ihave flashed an EXT4 recovery from Fastboot, but, this will not load. Goes to HTC screen and stops. Im sure I can put it right with EasyAce which I will try now.
I will try then to put Black ice on as you advised and post back.
really appreciate your advice!

Seems I cant boot into a recovery at all now. Tried to reflash with EasyAce tool but getting errors. I dont have a working recovery, so cant flash a rom

Ok, somehow, via the red wine and stress induced fog, I managed to get EXT recovery working. Im now tryig to get a rom working. Tried PacMan again, bit straight off I get AOKP keyboard not working error and I didnt have to go through the Google setup - why cant I get a clean boot - this confuses me?? I wipe Cache, Dalvik. Factory reset - same problem. I have even tried formatting system from Advanced - same????
At least I can flash RIMs now!!
Thanks again for your help

You are still s-on yes?
Have you flashed boot.IMG?
If you are s-on you must flash the boot.IMG (contained inside the ROM's zip file) using a PC and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" every time you change to a new, different ROM.

I have indeed mate, one thing I learned early on.
I have managed to get JellyTime on ok, but, again, no gps and also the potentiometer for the compass etc appears to not work!! Arrrrrgh!!!!
I think the issue must be the radio. Can I flash a new radio if im S-On and bootloader unlocked? Im ok with fastboot stuff if I need that to push a radio, but, I read that flashing a radio is inherently more "dangerous" than flashing the recovery etc.
I hoped the EXT4 recovery would make a difference, but seems not to have at all. FWIW, I also did the GPS antenna mod yesterday, and it hasnt helped either. My gps appears to work, but its very poor. I left it outside for 10 mins last night looking up at clear sky and it didnt show one satellite.
Think it might be time to sell the phone

You need to be S-Off to flash a radio.

I still cant get my head around why I cant get PacMan back on ok? It worked a treat first time, except for gps. Now, it will not install properly at all. It boots ok, but straight away I get keyboard has stopped working, and it doesnt go through the account setup etc.
But the potentiometer works!!!!!

Where I am at now.
Put CWM recovery back on, and tried Cyanogen 7.1. Would not boot. Several attempts at wipe and reflash did not cure this. So I am now running Android Revolution HD7.3. I thought as it was close to a stock ROM it may work, but, still no joy.
I put other halfs Desire HD next to mine and started the GPS on them both. Hers locked in less than a minute. Half an hour later, I had seen one brief flicker of two satellites on mine, Still no fix.
So, I dont know what to do really. I ish I could put the phone back to how it was, but doesnt look like that is going to be an option. Tried the RUU, but it doesnt work
I still cannot understand why none of these roms will work with the GPS when it was perfect before on stock 2.3.5??

What's wrong with the RUU? I would try flashing a fresh recovery image from fastboot, then wiping everything under the sun and flashing ARHD again.

[Q] HTC wildfire sound quality poor and camera blur during snapshot

Just want to know why after root wildfire, already try a lot of custom rom, camera during snapshot pic blur, quality bad, before snapshot auto focus already see it on the handphone screen is blur. Sound quality bad.
Unroot and flash back to stock rom also the same. Use revolution to root.
Pls help.
Thanks.

It might sound like I'm not, but I'm serious and I'll say, you didn't spill something on that area...the camera and speaker are right together, maybe if you have kids a sticky finger rubbed something onto into them?
The answer is probably no, it's never something easy, so the obvious thing is software. Perhaps out of all those ROMS you flashed, some files got left behind and are conflicting or conflicted on subsequent flashes. You could try going into CWM and wiping the cache and see if it helps...if not go back into CWM and wipe cache and dalvik-cache (I like to do things one at a time so I know what worked). Some people think that when switching ROMS a person should wipe each cache 2 or 3 times, especially when switching from Cyanogen Mod. You're just wiping caches, whatever needs to build in there at run time will rebuild when you reboot, but you might get rid of a conflicting file or remnant.
That's the short route, the long is to start over, do all the wipes (x3?) and then flash whatever ROM you want and see if that fixes it.
Maybe someone else has more, or better ideas?

This is my friend phone..i have wilpe all and davik + cache..CWM.. most probably is due to flash custom rom..this phone kid got throw before but before flash everything just fine...camera clear, sound ok...my friend notify me then i only realise, i take and compare to another wildfire which is original stock rom really see the different.. After use revolution flash, found the phone charging light can't off if charging the phone during power off, need to remove the battery. Found some forum regarding this issue use unrevoked and flash recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-buzz, then only the problem solve..
I also got flash desire hd,using android revolution HD custom rom too, it's just like stock rom.. everything work fine..sound and camera also good and clear...but try alot of other rom like ICS, jelley bean version 4.0+.. found most of that rom also sound not clear(beast audio), best in ear phone only, camera picture not clear and no full screen during snapshot..video problem ..but mention stable version.. still can't find a rom like revolution HD in 4.0+... all working fine..
Anyway should thank to the programmer ..because its not easy..If any expert know my wildfire issue pls help..appreciate your help..

Ohhhh...I see you're talking about the HTC Buzz: Wildfire. This is the Wildfire S forum. I don't know the Buzz. You might get better focus on your issue if you move your post to the HTC Buzz: Wildfire forums:
