[Q] i need some help here - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi guys!
ive been trying to instal this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694 on my HD2 because... omg windows is driving me insane!
but the SD boot just doesnt work, ive did what they asked me too, download the file, unzip it... put the android folder on the root of my SD card and first tabbed the file for the sound and then i tryed to the file for installing the ROM but it either freezes in a black screen showing "HTC" or it shows that black screen and it reboots my phone and im still in windows
help me guys or give me a suggestion for a different and just as good android rom for my HD2! one with htc sense that is.

Try turning your computer antivirus and firewall off temporarily, and then start the process from beginning over. Antivirus and firewalls sometimes mess with installations.

Copying files no work no more!

Howdy,
Did a search but didn't find topic?
First mistake, Dnloaded and installed latest AT&T 6 Rom to me Hermes!
Second mistake, have Vista Home Prem (ugh!) Build 6000, and
had Windows Mobile Device Center installed and worked on Win Mobile 5. Could copy and paste files to SD card!
Installed on the new Rom, now I tick WMDC > Connect > GO to SD card > to paste file / app etc and get billies
"The copy and paste has failed. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected!"
Even tho I can see files on SD card on laptop!
So I uninstall billies WMCD reboot laptop and reinstall WMCD and same error!
Now I can see the files on the SD Card, move the files around on the SD Card but no copy to SD card??????? I don't have a card reader as I used Win 5 and didn't need another reader!
Any suggestions, workarounds (besides getting rid of billies silly junk.)
Help please!
Hi,

Hey thanks and fast reply,
I will try formatting sd card if I can find a way to back it up to something!
Does anyone know of a free online Back up site that I could back up sc card with Sktools bkup?
WOW have to much great stuff on it from xda forums!
I rally don't mean to add an off topic situation, but this also started when I installed the AT&T Rom. . .
The other problem that I just found out is that the sound is on, I can hear WM player out of device, but don't have sound for Skype with or w/o headset. As I can connect to call, hear the mic on called phone, the caller hears me but I don't hear the called sound on device or head set???? Im using fling and am connected with wifi, to Skype!
At least it's charging off usb sync, which is one thing that works!
If I can't discuss anothe problem with this New Rom here please move to right place and send a forward!
I really like this board, so I don't want to do anything wrong!
Thanks
Hey there,
I did a defrag SD card NO work!
Than I did a format
Connected (thats what it says but not what it does) and copy and past NO go. . . same error!
Tried to install Sk Tools, (from pc to device as before) and no go, same error of disconnected or what ever? And since I can't do a restore form pc to device, no copy, than None of my SD base apps work, Sk Tools, fling, etc!
So is the SD corrupt!
I vista corrupt (that's a dumb Q)?
Is WMCD corrupt that was working before my new Hard Drive replacement!
Or what?
Oh yea thank you for any replys!
I am also have the same problem.
Hello to all,
I am also have the same problem. Not with the sd card but with the build-in memory. I have installed the windows vista with WMDC 6.0.
I think this problem is with the OS or with the WMDC 6.0.
Because I have an another pc with windows xp installed and there is NO problem with it. Copy and past will work perfect.
I having HTC Wizard that is qtek 9100 with WM6, NBD 9.2 installed.
If any one find the solution please let me know also.
Also conection via bluetooth to WMDC 6.0 it also not possible trying to find the solution but no luck . It will work in fine with winxp but not with the vista.
Please help.........
Many Thanks

Madefree,
I would suggest a couple of things:
- flash a different rom to your device, eg a WM 6.0 from Schaps.
- review the MrVANX guides (www.mrvanx.org).
Let us know how you get on.
WB
Thanks wacky banana,
Well at least I know its not the SD card as I tried another with the same irritating gates error message!
I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC three times and still no file transfer> I have to do any transfers with a cardreader! So I don't know if I can do an upgrade on the ROM as I really want to (as ATT 6 was really a downgrade!)
Thanks. . . .
I went to that link and they are upgrading the site. The following is stated at the ever begining . . .
.....Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC, connect up your device and allow it to sync. When this is done run "RUUWrapper.exe":.....
RUUWrapper.exe wasn't a link to a download so I guess "searching" is on really first on the "how to" list!
Thanks for the links and the reply, greatly appreciate any and all help at this point!
Have a good one!
How to upgrade my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard)?
Hello,
Sorry I wrote wrong ROM version. It is NBD 9.2 installed, NOT NBD 9.3.
Thanks
Srikanth.k
Well DUH ATT 6 allowed me to copy to a file, but only to inside the SD card from the PC but not to the card directly (root) w/o a folder to put it in!
Active Sync works but not DUH WMDC (whatever) crashed twice in one day so Im stick with clicking on My PC > than on HTC device, than Active Sync works better than DUH other option billy made!
It's a vista thing all DUH way!
Hey wacky banana took you fine advice and downladed Schaps.WWM 6.1 Pro FULL ROM and with the excellent RRU packed with it got RID of ATT's "stuff"
Still can't transfer to root of SD, unless I do it thru a cardreader, but at least I don't have DUH branded bulk! Just need to delete (turn off duh startup sounds, so everyone around don't growl at me when I reboot!
Mighty fine ROM thx for the suggestion . . . . gotta do a donate!
Later!
Copy file worked!
Hello
The problem was with the K-a-s-p-e-r-s-k-y AV that I was been installed. It was blocking me to copy the files to my PDA. When I uninstalled the app it worked perfect without any errors.
Please anyone know which is the best antivirus.....
Thanks to all.......

Sounds like you flashed one too many times. The Custom RUU's do not reformat the ROM chip. Flash a Stock ROM like one of the HTC Official Updates. This will have the stock RUU which does format the ROM chip. Then, you can go flash any ROM you like. I had this same problem once on my Kaiser where folders would disappear.

Hey mate, does it means that if I flashed too many ROM in a particular period then this problem would occurred? lol~ I didn't clearly understand what you explained.

Not that it would occur, but something similar "could" occur. This is why in the Kaiser section they always told you to flash stock/hard reset/flash custom ROM of choice/hard reset. It's not that you need to, but doing so an help prevent weird bugs from showing up like what he explained. It's just like installing Windows on a PC, they always recommend you format the drive on each install or your install could be buggy. For best results you format so the drive is clean & no left over files that can screw with the new install. Plus, low level formating will gain back bad clusters in the hard driver/ROM chip lost during use by data corruption. This format process is disabled in the XDA made Custom*RUU.exe for various reasons. So the more ROM's you flash, the more changes occur on the ROM Chip & the more likely a bug could appear.

Check in the ROM's thread. Also, you may need to clear the PC's sync partnerships. If you have flashed a lot the PC can only handle so many Partners. Each time you flash a new ROM, it creates a new partner as it think's it's a different device.
how do you soft and hard reset the att tilt 2? Had an old tilt and I just got this a few days ago still figuring it out

Soft Reset hole is on the side of the device. It may be under the battery door. The side with the stylus, under the secondary Mic.
Hard Reset is done by holding Send/End/Power & pressing Soft Reset with stylus. Hold the Send/End/Power keys till the Hard Reset message appears onscreen.
This was the first flash I did and after a hard rest still will not sync and nothing in the thread for the rom. I cleared all my partnerships. The phone is connected and I can transfer files to and from my storage card. Do I need to update the device driver on my pc? Any way to get my outlook 2003 contacts on the phone through my storage card or any other way?

If running XP you need ActiveSync 4.5, if running Vista/7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. All drivers for the devices come from those programs. Have you tried manually opening Active Sync/device Center to see if it's connecting/seeing the device? Also, make sure there's no setting on the device making it act as a USB Mass Storage drive. Some ROM's give a app or setting to do this as it increases transfer rates for copying files, but it doesn't allow syncing.
I have win mobile device center and know sync. the phone will connect for usb mass storage and I can access the files on my storage card. when I connect my phone it gives me the option of outlook sync or flash drive. I select the outlook sync and the first time my pc said the device was installed successfully but no recognition from mobile device center.

Hum, I'm at a loss, I would post in the ROM's thread to see if anyone else has/had this issue. Maybe it's ROM related?!?!? I'm running ROMeOS without sync issues. Granted I don't sync anything, but when i open device center the device does show up. I always check this, because if the device isn't seen by WMDC, I can't get data connections while connected to USB. I have this problem a lot because I removed WMDC from startup as I don't want an app running in the BG taking up resources when I don't use it.
actually what i did was flash my rom through micro sd because my phone wouldnt load to the home screen so i wasnt able to connect to aactive sync. thank god i got my wife a tp2 also wich i was able to dl the nnhb file on the micro sd card and then just run it from my phone but yes i did flash my rom way too many times during this past weekend id say about t times in a days is there a limit of times you can flash a device per day because i dont want to fry my phone up lol silly me

For future reference, you don't need to flash via SD if you are stuck. Just follow these steps.
1) Power Off
2) Hold down Volume Down button
3) Plug in USB Cable
4) Boot Loader appears onscreen & at button in White space says "USB"
5) Flash ROM via PC as normal.
yea but its not going to be connected to active sync so how do i get the nbh file onto the phone unless i can just run the ruu and it will flash
ok now everytime i try to flash my rom back to the stock one through micro sd it starts the process but then the back light turns off and then the phone stays off and i have to hard reset it can someone help me and when i connect it to the pc it has the bootloader but it says error on the bottom of the screen
do i have to flash my radio back to stock also?
I had the same problem... luckily t-mobile has a buyers remorse program... because I could not get the active sync/WMDC to work either... did you download the wifi cab on another thread? I ask because this is what did it for me? Or maybe a combo of cabs but definately linked to the wifi cab... Gettin a new phone today... if anyone figure this out, make it a sticky!

[Q] how to install apps ?

hi i am new to the htc hd mini and i am finding very hard to find good info on what to do with it maybe its still new, but how do i install apps i have downloaded a few themes/apps and not having any joy of putting them on the the phone sure i have put them on the memory card but can't install them from there i have downloaded the activesync (running win xp) and that don't install apps. so i am stuck it was quicker and easy to jailbreak the ipod touch and put apps on there. where am i going wrong ?
many thanks a confused hd mini owner.
p.s
now i know there is no compass on it (one of the things i was looking forward to using)
also while looking on youtube there was a clip where someone is doing street view or somethink like and moving the phone about and the street image moved too, also i was told that using google maps with the layers i could find a shop with it..i think this must be for another phone.
apart from this its still a nice little phone would be much better if i could get some of the above working.
App extensions are CAB it's like seeing zip or rar file on PC.
to check the file extension in your PC go to Folder Option > View Tab > Remove tick from Hide Extension...
move cab files in your Storage card then in file explorer from your phone click on them and if prompt Microsoft security choose Yes and finally choose where to install applications.
in case your application is EXE: connect your phone to your PC via Active Sync and then run the file from PC... Follow the on screen instructions.
thanks emrause i shall try this when the phone wants to connect to the pc this morning for some unknown reason it don't want to connect to the pc i have tryed a data drive and getting no luck and only once did i did it will activesync but nothink happend...almost pulling my hair out here...wish they would have made the phone a bit more user friendly

That's because you have extracted .cab file, before transfering it to device.

TP2 keep rebooting after loading android

Hi,
I have tried many of the android build available and I had no luck getting it to work. The loading will run fine until the splash screen. It will stuck there for a few minutes then the phone reboot. I tried format, used ext2, ... none of them work. Can anyone please help? Thanks.
Remove the overclock in your startup file.
I made sure that the TP2 was not overclocked when I install android. No improvement though. it still reboot after a few minutes without even get pass the splash screen. Any idea? Thanks
Make sure you're up to date, may want to try a fresh data.img as well.
i had the same problem but i quickly realizes that before installing the android u would have to make sure that ur card format are all android, ext2,linuxswap are primary.
and if ur using tp2 make sure u r selecting rhodium start ups
i would suggest to do a fresh install n then run haret n see from there

[Q] (solved) uninstalled OS, unable to connect to computer

I hate to be that guy, but i have tried searching the forums and have had no luck...
Basically while flashing CM10 I screwed up and installed the wrong Gapps pack (never trusting goo manager again)
I got stuck in an endless boot cycle (saying 'installer has stopped' on boot, not allowing any actions)
I did a wipe before attempting to restore... and then my backup was gone.
So now I'm stuck with either attempting to restore to stock (which I'm ok with, I think this is not really my game) or going to a custom rom.
But right now I have no OS installed and my computer will not recognize the device. I have tried kies, installing / reinstalling sammy drivers, and i still can't get anything to appear except for a cd drive.
I have tried on windows xp pro, xp media edition, windows 7 home, same result.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery (i have TWRP as my recovery)
but again, i somehow wiped my backup, i can't get my computer to recognize i have a phone, and i don't have access to an SD card port.
If I get an micro sd card reader, would that give me the ability to copy the rom zip file?
I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Help! is there any way to fix my phone?
EDIT: MY PROBLEM WAS I had just recently installed a 64gb microsd card, and it was not formatted correctly... ended up getting the correct version of Gapps and a stable version of cyanogenmod (10.1) and installing them onto my girlfriends SD card (which was only 32gb and formatted correctly). I went to walmart and got a SD card to USB adapter for $8, loaded the zips onto that, and flashed them very quickly and easily through TWRP.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I flashed CM FIRST by itself, then after that booted up all nice and happy I went back and flashed Gapps (because without google what are you supposed to do? use it as a phone!? )
and everything installed perfectly and without a hitch.
Thanks for the quick help everyone!

Your not bricked at all, you just have no os.
In twrp make sure your looking at the external sd card foe your backup. And yes if you can get a micro sd card reader/adapter, you should be able to copy a rom file to it.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
You could also just put the sdcard in another phone and access it on your computer through THAT one
But yeah, as said above, you just have no OS.

Help on the way
THERE IS 2 WAYS TO FIX IT.
1. POWER OFF THE DEVICE ONCE IT IS POWERED OFF FULLY HOLD THE BACK BUTTON WHILE HOLDING IT PLUG IN USB CABLE AND FLASH DOOMKERNAL AND THEN I RECOMMEND YOU SHOULD PUT DONUT HD ON THE SD CARD THEN. UNPLUG USB AND THEN POWER ON DEVICE ONCE YOU FEEL IT VIBRATE RAPIDLY PRESS BACK BUTTON YOU SHOULD BE ON CWM THEN INSTALL ROM AND YOUR SET.
2.DOWNLOAD Sony PC Companion AND THEN CONNECT PHONE THEN GO ON REPAIR PHONE AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE REST.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL NO MORE CM IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE THE WHOLE PHONE DIDN'T WORK GOT STUCK ON BOOTCYCLE
ANOTHER NOTE: IF WIFI DOSEN'T WORK JUST DOWNLOAD WIFI MODULS HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253853 JUST SCROLL DOWN UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKES YOU FIND THE WORD NEW.
OVERCLOCK MAY NOT WORK. RECOMMENDED IS NOT CLOCKED.
3.I RECOMMEND REPAIR IT WITH SONY PC Companion THEN ROOT IT AFTER ROOT JUST PUT CWM AND THEN PUT DOOMKERNAL AFTER THAT FLASH DOOMKERNAL THEN GO INTO CWM AND THEN PUT DONUT HD INSIDE AND YOUR SET.
