A major problem has developed with my qtek. All the programs have disappeared. When I press start I am greeted with a completely blank page.
All the shortcuts on the mian screen are invalid and I can't run anything.
The phone is still funtional and I can access my contacts and calendar information but I can't sync it because it looks as though activesync is missing.
I have tried a soft reset (battery out) but the problem persists
I even tried a hard reset using the power on soft key method but this didn't actually go into the hard reset screen. It looks as though the rom is corrupt - has anyone had an experience of this?
I am now getting device low on memory messages all the time but can't even attempt to remove anything as I can't access any programs - please help!!
Please read the other thread where you asked what buttons the softkeys were.
Hardresetting will probably work, or installing the latest rom from your distributer might also work, but try the hardreset first.
That is what I thought - altough hard reset does not work and all the programs are missing including activesync so I can't put a new rom on it either!
This week I stalled an app which totally ****ed up my HD2. I don't remember the name of the app, but installing it resulted in the following:
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.
This is all quite annoying so I did a reset to factory settings. However this didn't solve the problem, so I am assuming that dreadfull app I installed did an override on the factory settings.
So the next thing I tried was installing the latest rom from the htc website, which should have been an easy thing. However it failed midway. Now the issue is that my computer doesn't not recognize my HD2 anymore when I connect it with the cable.
So the question is? What do I do now? I was hoping anyone could help me with this problem. Before when I was a student I had plenty of time to search the net/forums for a solution, but now I am working full time and I already spend most of my weekend trying to solve this issue. So please anyone help me out

i have to leave for work in 5 minutes so i won't be able to follow this up...but..
when you say factory reset, did everything else go back to what it was as you bought it?
1- can you get to bootloader (when booting up phone hold the "down volume"-- i think it is down, may be up. try it.)
2- if so you are good.
3- in bootloader flash hspl
4- flash new rom
I performed the factory reset multiple times and by 2 methods.
-setting->return to factory settings
-turning off the device-> press down the volume up/down buttons and press cancel call button
All settings were turned back to the original settings however the 2 problems (1: tilting screens and 2: unable to detect device on computer) did not disappear.
I tried to do what jsmccabe78 said, but my device just booted up like normal. No bootloader screen or anything.
I have anyone else has an idea.
Make a backup of your contact list.
And make a Hard reset!
In difficult situations, you can maybe use/do a "Task 29"
using the second option I described is a hard reset
try reflashing a stock ROM.

now what do you see when you boot your phone? have you tried deleting the settings for your phone on your computer for wmdc/activsync? 0have you tried uninstalling wmdc and reinstalling? try those first.
now, if your computer still does not recognize your phone your next option is to load another rom - whether it is a newer official rom or a customized one (your choice.) if you cannot connect your phone you will need to do this with bootloader.
if you can boot your phone, you can get into bootloader.
to get to bootloader:
turn phone off.
hold "volume down" button key.
turn phone on.
this will get you to bootloader. if this doesn't work, i am out of ideas. you need a new rom and you can flash from an storage card, but you need to have hspl first.
let me know.
now you can 1- flash hspl and 2- flash new rom
Sorry for the late response jsmccabe78. Thank you for your response. I got my phone into bootloader mode which enabled me to make a link to my computer. I ran the stock rom that I downloaded from the htc website and it installed succesfully.
Unfortunately this did not solve the problems I described in the OP.
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.

Also my computer still doesn't not recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader mode. Reinstalling WMDC did not solve this issue.
I am still thinking these issues are software related and not hardware related. But reinstalling the stockrom should have fixed the issues if it was software related shoud it not?
So 2 questions remain;
1) How do I fix the issues in the OP
2) How do I get my computer to recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader
I hope anyone can help me solve this mystery.
Try it with no sd card in and see if you still have the problems? If you do :Take out your sd card and put it into your pc with card adaptor. Then delete the application data folder on your sd card. If that doesn't work make a back up of whatever stuff is on your sd card and then re-format it, then and copy back your apps and stuff. If you had a rough idea of what it was you installed try and leave that out when you copy your files back to sd. If you didnt have much on your sd card i would suggest to just wipe it totally and start again. Hopefully this should sort it, if not im out of ideas. Hope this helps if not soz but thought id try
I formatted my SD card, used the return-to-factory-settings function again and still the same issues. No connection to my computer and all the above issues... getting a bit desperate here...
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?
Hard SPL your phone first before proceeding.
Don't let your battery to discharge completely, if it happens, connect the charger (red led appears), take out the battery (with the charger still connected, red led remains on), put the battery back (orange led appears) and then fast turn the phone on and enter bootloader mode because there the phone is charging even that no led is on.
Google Android kernel build working from NAND memory.
I am glad to introduce you the result of our hard work, based on the android kernel and tinboot bootloader, made by DZO. I am, vsavichev, working on kernel, my friend hrustile- on design and system, and my friend blyha- on the hardware researching and testing part.
HOWTO Installation process.
Doing on the security unlocked phone under your own responsibility, all unlocking info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
1. Download Nikeimg.7z, archive contain 2 images, for 20 or 16 keys keyboard.
2. Flash it like usual firmware, which means:
2.2 From the SDcard:rename file NIKEIMG16K(20K).nbh to NIKEIMG.nbh and put it to the root of SD card. Make folder named "andboot" in the root of your SD card and put there android build itself, which usually named "androidinstall.tar",if not, rename it. My recommendation is this one, from my friend hrustile : http://www.multiupload.com/OYW85PFMH1. No need to format SD card or remove any files. Turn off your phone and reboot to bootoader mode (e.g. hold CAMERA and POWER buttons) Then phone will detect itself that there is a firmware is on your SD card and will ask your to press POWER button, so press it. Flashing takes about 20 seconds, after it's over pull the battery or press reset.
2.3 From the PC: same procedure exept no need to put NIKEIMG.NBH on the SD card. You need to put it to the folder with flasher on the PC. The rest same as SD card flashing.
But it's not all!!!
3. Turn device on and wait until i says "Hold down Volume Up or DPad Center to launch installer" press and hold central button, you'll see installer menu. If you missed yo press button- reset and press it directly after seeing some output on the screen.
Choose Data & Sys on "(*) NAND" and press Install android, then answer yes twice. Now installation process is started, wait for a minute or so.
4 And at last after installation is over press Quit, first boot takes some time so be patient. Then enjoy your Android.

Here are the last tested images, archive contains 20k and 16k version. I tried some radios, the best one was 1.71k.
Thank you for your hard work！
Darkforcesteam HD2 Forum developed the android, not a simulation. You can contact them, it is possible to obtain some information. If you need darkforcesteam forum account can contact me, my mailbox [email protected]. My English is poor, which is out through Google translations. Sorry.
Can you solve the BUG android on Chinese support it?Thank you
No, chinese is so far from me, im russian.
First, thanks for the advanced work!
I try this last night, and it looks great and smooth, but I have a problem for it.
Mine is Niki100, the screen touch function seems not working properly. I can't finished unlocking the phone, the screen froze after I slide it from left to right.
Anything I can try?
Looks strange for me, if problem is in locked screen only you can unlock it with double pressing of camera button. Then, if screen is still frezed, long press on POWER and then the RED PHONE, sometimes helps. Anyway, the work is very far from over, so i hope there will be a lot of improovments, this build i put here only to show that there is a hope, because all the previos threeds ended so hopeless.
thank u for your work!
but my phone raido is 1.59,your rom can't work on my phone ,if you fix this BUG, it will be perfect!
I don't think it's possible to fix a kernel for a specific radio, but it will be very useful for me, if everyone who tests my build will post the issues wich he will have for sure and the radio version, so i can find the problems, caused by radio and the problems, caused by kernel.
Latest news, now internet connection working.
What's new? Network connection in my cell phone is normal.
Some improvements, now we have all the functions, like under HARET.
How to install?
It seems when I long-pressed the icon (want to delete home screen shortcut), the screen touch works no more. Sometimes It randomly happened when I press several time short-pressed. Other than that, the phone function works fine, and 3g connection is fine too.

Do we have update for niki16k ?
poyfoster How long does the screen touch work before freeze? Or it happens just after boot? Please, post your radio version, i need it for statistics too.
About 16k update- you are the first to ask, no problem, i'll make one for you in a couple of hours.
It's this a rom?
How to install ? Its only androidinstall.tar and ZIMAGE. There is no default.txt and Haret and initr.gz, I download this package but still dont know how tu run it. Maybe someone can explain me, my device is HTC touch dual NIKKI 20 keys
It works from NAND, wich means your windows mobile will be gone. So you need to be very sure what are you doing before do something.
So if you still want to flash android, you need to put NIKEIMG.nbh on the rootof sd card,
androidinstall.tar and androidupdate.tgz to /andboot/ folder.
Turn off the device, hold CAMERA and POWER buttons, until you get to bootloader, then press power again.
Now press reset or pull battery off, then power on your phone. After splash screens you will see some fast running output, when you see something like "Hold center or volume up button to install" you need to hold center button. All the other stuff is like usual HARET installation, exept you need to put systrm and data on NAND in installer. After install complete, you need to install update before exit.
I need 16K，thanks
So, I bought a cheap non-branded chinese android smartphone. The handset was full of useless pre-installed apps and I just cleaned them out. I rooted the phone with the VRoot tool and it looked like everything goes well, untill I made a factory reset. I installed a new launcher, of course to the /system/app/ folder and it worked with it. The phone has some kind of startup setup (like the iPhones) which comes up after the reset, before the launcher could start. In this procedure, the last step is to tap on an android logo to begin using the phone. So for now, even if I tap it for a houndred of times, the thing won't start, it sticks in this setting window. I pretty much think, this happens because of the new launcher, because the app is probably looking for the old one. Now I am in the deep sh***t.
The followings are known:
- I can't use ADB to repair it, because the factory reset automatically unchecks the USB debugging.
- No firmware or recovery backup available to reflash the handset. The phone has a qualcomm MSM7225 CPU.
- I have the factory apps.
- The phone has factory recovery, so I can't install custom backup.
- I can enter in fastboot mode.
I think, this is all I know. Anyone has some advice to repair it?
Thanks is advance.
Anyone ever get the below? Notes: Phone was working fine ever since I got it. I got it close to when it came out. S9+ on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon). I run Nova Launcher. I haven't rebooted in a long time, so for some reason I decided to reboot. When I did so it says "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116". It finishes that and takes me to the below message. I've already tried step 1. No luck. I have not erased app data, but tried to get into safe mode using power and volume down button. That did not work.
I guess my only option is to try and Erase App Data?
Android Recovery
Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instuctions below.
1. Try again Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.
.. and on the very bottom says:
Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:8409 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA Supported API: 3
PS - The only thing I did today that was new was install a WWE Wrestling game, play it once, and uninstall it. Everything else was normal. Phone, text, notepad software, browse web, YouTube, etc.
So, I tried #2.. selected erase app data from the menu. Took a few seconds and rebooted. Did the "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116" again. Went right back to the Android Recovery screen.
This sucks because I NEED my phone for work. #1 - it's my alarm clock. #2 - they track when I log in and out and where I go with GPS. #3 - I call back to work during the day.
I can get into "Maintaince Boot Mode" and from there can try a Factory Reset which I am hoping I do not have to..
PSS - I tried to erase cache no luck. Tried to erase app data. No luck. Always comes backm to Android Recovery.
PSSS - Just did Vol Up + Bixby + Power. Went in to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It's 12:45AM and I need to get to bed. I'm hoping this will at least fix it so I can wake up and get to work tomorrow.
So far it's doing something.. asked me a few questions.. I got past WiFi and it shut off. I didn't know I was low on power.
Sorry maybe I shouldn't have posted if I wasn't going to wait a bit (for an answer) before doing a factory reset. I paniced and factory reset.
Anyway, it's updating everything now. Then I can reinstall everything I need. I did lose all my phone number contacts.
