Hi
Started program - found SX56. Message "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes"
on pda. Then it said that it had a problem with the USB or COM connection, and
to fix it in device manager. I opened Device Manager, and checked that all the
USB and COM ports were enabled, which they were.
By this time, the unlock software and ActiveSync had stopped running. The pda
was still stuck on the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. Since
the configuration has changed, ActiveSync will no longer recognize the device,
and will not sync with it. Your software will not connect until ActiveSync does.
All that comes up is the "Upgrading - will take about 5 minutes" screen. there
is no other functionality to the system.Hard or soft resets make no difference.
Active Sync doesn't work. The PDA has changed its configuration, so active
Sync doesn't recognize it. When I plug it in, Active Sync sees something, but
can't even tell that it is a pda, and I can't even set up a new connection with
it. let alone use the old connection.
Can anyone help? is there a way i can reinstall active sync or is there another way to fix it? please help
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing. Unzip the rom after download, start xdatools on your pc, choose the unzipped rom file as source and the drive letter for your sd card as destination from drop down menu, once the card is programmed insert sd card to phone, push reset while holding power, when prompted you then push the action key which is centre of 4 way rocker buttons. Once flashed push the unscrewed stylus into hole next to headphone socket, push once only, wait one minute push once more, this will work as long as you dont have a problematic version of bootloader on your phone. Good luck.
System is entirely backed up onto SD card.Can't use SD card. Can't use PDA.
PDA is still stuck on "ugrading - will take about 5 minutes". It apparently has
no operating system in ROM. No difference with hard or soft reset - comes back
to same screen, no function in PDA.
HELP PLEASE
I think you misunderstood, a normal backup is no good, you need to program an sd card with a new rom, when this is placed in your xda and soft reset it should reprogram your phone with a new rom. You are correct when you say it has no rom, the method I described should restore your phone to a working machine. You do not need a rom to reprogram using bootloader/sd card method, try it and see.
You will need xdatools, sd card, card reader/writer and rom file from kitchen for sd card flashing.

Okay, so can I basically use the newest ROM which also unlock the device too?
You will need to use either xda developers special edition rom to unlock or include the unlock program from the kitchen in a 2002 rom, you can then upgrade to wm2003 if you wish, you cannot unlock under wm2003 so you must use special edition or kitchen rom based on 2002 first.
I am sorry if i keep asking you questions.
I do have the xda special rom, ive tryed using it but it caused the problem i do have right now.
i did download xdatools by jeff. i cannot run them though.
Could you describe step by stef of what i need to do.
i.e. do i need a complete NEW ROM, or can i just transfer the xda special rom to my SD card and then run it to restore my device?
But i guess not, else you wouldnt have explained what i need to do.
Thats the error i get when i try to run xdatools. (I dont understand the install note)
"INSTALLATION
From the source + exe distribution copy OsImageTool.exe and itsutils.dll
to the programme A directory as created by unpacking
jeff's-exe (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/) to a directory in
your "Program Files" directory. Then run 'OsImageTool --register'."
IF you unzip the files you already have both of those files in the folder.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
You have to install ActiveSync.
You can get it diretcly from Microsoft for free....

. I was able to locate the NK.nbf file. I ran the XDA OS image tool, to put the OS on the sd card, from the NK file. That apparently succeeded, but it is hard to tell. After loading the OS, when I take out the sd card, then put the sd card back into the sd card reader, it can no longer read the sd card. I can format the sd card again, using my camera, so the sd card is not destroyed.
Wher I put the sd card in the SX56, there is no problem, but there is no success.
Pushing soft reset alone does nothing. Pushing the power button alone does not turn the machine on or off, and does nothing.
Pushing power and soft reset at the same time, gets me the “Wallaby Bootloader V5.15” screen. It first says “wait”, and then says “GSM OK”. It then does nothing else, and doesn’t prompt me to do anything else. If I push the action button, I get “DIAGNOSTICS GPRSA 20324e4”. From there, I can scroll up and down, and test the RAM, Display, battery, USB, etc – all items tested seem OK. There is nowhere to go from here – all it does is test the pieces.
After that, if I push the hard reset (the one that disconnects the battery), the power goes off, and the screen is dark. This is the only way to turn the machine off at the moment. If I push hard reset again, it comes up with a screen full of lines, with two blank holes in it (see attached file). From there, none of the buttons do anything, except hard reset (which turns the machine off again), or soft reset + power, which brings up the bootloader screen again.
have the siemens ROM. It will not work with the cradle, because it cannot find the pda if Activesync can’t make a connection, and loading it onto the SD card does nothing new – both results are exactly the same as with what described above.
any suggestions?
Hi,
I have an XDA O2 (Wallaby) which I got from a friend of mine who used it without a problem in its life and now I am stuck with a flashing O2 XDA.
Let me try to best describe my problem.
I had copied some of my excel files onto the O2 and then I had a distinct feeling that it had gotten to be much much slower.I am not too sure if this is the cause.
I was not using it as a phone but one day I slipped in my SIM card so as to surf the net and it just would not connect via GPRS and after that it had become very slow hanging every once in a while so I did a soft reset but it still was slow and the GPRS would not connect neither did it detect my phone service provider.I used to surf prevously through GPRS without any problems.
Then I did a hard reset and it just wouldnt work after that it would start with the blue O2 screen and begin to flash on and off with a blank screen with a small keyboard icon in the lower right hand corner presumably the affected excel file....I think my XDA has a virus now please help me out from here.
I tried doing a hard rest and I depressed the reset button on the RHS side that's it(smaller hole bigger one for soft reset) Once I press down with the smaller end of the stylus I press it again then the blue screen with the O2 logo comes to life it stays on for sometime and then a "tink" noise comes and the busy sign comes as if it has just opened an application ..a blue small band on the top most corner and a small keyboard icon on the lower rhs hand of the screen then the screen begins to flash ten seconds apart for quite some time...infact that all it does before shutting down and restarting all over again.
Is there any other way to do a hard reset.What is the right way?? as on one of the forums said that I should depress the power button and the soft reset button at the same time for about 5 sec I tried the hard and something called the WALLABY Bootloader V5.15 came on the screen with the message 'WAIT' after a couple of nail biting seconds I got an error saying GSM ERROR the screen was a clourful white red green and blue strips....what happened??
Then I proceeded to depress the soft reset button it restarted with the usual error of a program being opened and the screen flashing..
Hope to get a reply from this forum.
Take care
Ciao

almaal have you tried flashing with a sd card? the GSM error indicates that the radio unit is corrupt. Have you attempted to upgrade the rom? If u have was it programme A or Programme B? by the sounds of things you have. Does the power light light up? let me know the answers to this and i might be able to help

Hi,
1st off thanks for your reply....
I have downloaded Programme A to upgrade my rom but cant seem to get it loaded onto the SD card. I unzipped osimage.exe and tried to store it from my PC to SD card but cant seem to do it....furthermore I was advised by friends out here not to be a braveheart and venture to kill my XDA but still I'd like to try...you see I'm not to conservant with the software bit and I'm only a end user...
Could you give me a step by step guidance to get the software loaded to the SD card via a card reader and then flashing the rom..
Hope to hear from you....

flashing from sd card
Firstly make sure u have winzip winrar or some other compression software on the computer then right click on the programme A exe file and click open with whatever compression program u have i use winrar so i will say open with winrar. You now need to extract all files into a folder.
Once you have done that open up OSimagetool and on source browse for the folder u just extracted the programme A to and look for nk.nbf,you will need to tell it to look for nbf files and not nb1 files , which is the default and select it,it is in the english folder. In the destination u need to select your sd card which should be in a card reader as u cant program it directly to the XDA or via the memory card, once you have done this click copy. when that is finished you need to take the card and place it in the xda and do a cold reset . A screen will appear saying SD Download click the action key on the pad to commence flashing. after a few minutes it will inform you that it has finished. remove the sd card and Cold boot again then once the wallaby has rebooted back to your bootloader screen soft reset it,ignore the gsm error now cross your fingers while you wait to see if it reboots. If it reboots ok set up activesync again and run the radio upgrade. By the Way any info on the sd card should be saved before attempting this as it will be overwritten by the osimage tool. Also only the xda can read the card , the pc will say it needs formatting Good luck
Any Luck
Did you have any luck reflashing with a new rom almaal?
I have followed the procedure. The system rebooted and I got the GSM error which I ignored and continued the process. The system rebooted properly i.e I get to see the start menu and the calendar, but the device does not get detected by activesync. Another thing to note is that the system has become terribly slow. And although the backlight is switched to on it the device keeps on flashing. What do I do now?

wallaby xda flashing
format the sd card then and copy the radio upgrade over to the card. not as an exe file almaal, right click it again then extract files and copy the files over , if u have a cab file including then just use file explorer on the xda to navigate to the storage card and click on it and it will install. If not then click on the rsupgrade.exe. Hope you have more luck with this than i have i had . Good luck

Not charging I think
Hi I dont know what to make of it but now my wallaby came to life with the rom that I flashed but it seems to have gone crazy. Let me best try and explain.
1) The green charge light does not come on when I put it onto the cradle or plug it directly for a charge.
2) It does not make any sound, no beeps no nothing....but when an mp3 is put on it plays
3)The back light does not come on which is enabled but does not work I have to work with a dark screen...is there a brightness control which can be adjusted...its like its on power save mode or something..
Now its back flashing the O2 screen again its become terribly slow and unstable and I have to do a constant reset. How do I know which is my ROM to flash, I've flashed the R.30.07 ENG Rogers (4700 kB available) from http://www.romkitchen.de/WM2003/form.php.
I somehow feel that my O2 is not charging
Can you make any sense of this ..
Alvin
Hi
And another thing is that I trird copying the radio upgrade over to the card and then clicking on rsupgrade.exe. The upgrade fails at 1% giving an error as follows:
Flash Failed!
Press ok to restart your device.
What could be the problem? and how can I fix it?
Thanks

Flash Failed
Neilius you have obviously not been through this process, no offence, but as i have tried to ask with a few posts on here it seems when the radio upgrade fails the wallaby refuses to charge. Which i think is the reason the radio upgrade always fails at 1%. Unfortunately nobodys knows or is even interested in finding out why

ok, the current KITL tutorial is horribly crap since it takes you bloody ages before you can do anything; here's what you *actually* need to do:
Download Platform builder, Emulator and ARMV4i are probably not necessary... can't guarantee that, but you can rerun the installer anyway and just get those to add on.
run Platform builder, start a new platform, select custom, leave everything blank, that's fine.
now, for the juicy part;
firstly take a random dll, hell take ANY file and copy it 4 times as ril.dll rilgsm.dll serial_cmd.dll and stk_service.dll (the stk_service.dll might not actually be necessary either) also, create a blank text file here and rename it to nk.bin
now, go to Target --> Connectivity Options. set the Download to None, the Transport to USB and the Debugger to None, go ahead and click Apply, then click Close.
go to Build OS --> Open Release Directory; note down the folder path and go to it in explorer and copy the 4 files from earlier there.
Go back to Platform Builder and go to Target --> Release Directory Modules, in there you'll be able to add the 4 dll files to the release, once all are added, click OK.
now for your Hermes: hold the Power + Comm buttons and soft reset and wait for the KITL dialog to appear, now is the CRITICALLY missed step; you need to press the small OK button on the LEFT of the device to activate USB KITL.
once activated, go to Target --> Attach Device and just wait for the device to load, it won't take very long.
once loaded, you can use the device normally EXCEPT for disconnecting the USB... that'll lock the device up, so the best thing to do is of course lob SSPL on to it via an SD card and you're away.
Wonder what PB is actually doing to the phone to get access to it without the OS. Could we not create a program that basically does whatever PB does, but all automatically and once SSPL is loaded, push your HardSPL on it?
Oli, I think it goes without saying you are just too darned smart!!! Keep up the great work!

KITL is the Kernel Transport layer, what PB does is firstly communicate via this layer to try and push a null kernel image to the device (in our case) which fails, resulting in the normal kernel booting instead.
the second stage is that 3 null files (or at least not signed) are pushed to the phone intended to be used instead of the radio interface dll's... since of course, the radio isn't actually working and is hence crashing the OS, as a result, these Dll's never get executed, meaning the phone no longer crashes.
the reason this used to be so horribly slow was due to the ridiculous emulator image getting pointlessly pushed to the phone.
Is this one of those things that it's just not worth duplicating PB? Or, can we also push a null image to the device in a faster/easier way that also does the same thing, but, without needing windows and/or PB?

After recovering my HTC Hermes and installing, which is now already deinstalled:
It is not synchronizing anymore with my hermes.
It is connected to my hermes and the activesync sign is making rounds, but nothing its happening.
I can access the SD card from Activesync but synchronization is not working.
I deinstalled activesync and installed it as well as I deinstalled the windows CE stuff.
Whats happened?
Thanks for help in advance!

Wam7 has tried to explain this... yet clearly you're failing to listen.
INVENT A FILE, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE REAL.
you could take a text file like mypasswords.txt and rename it to ril.dll then copy it 3 times and rename those... it doesn't make a blind bit of difference, do you get it now?
ok my phone is HTC 8525, with WM 6.1 professional . It worked fine for 3 days then it start freezing , before it does that a blue background will appeare ,then it will not let me do anything at all . When I try to touch an icon, it will say something like invalid location or could not find target . I have to hard reset it. sometimes I have to reset it 4 or 5 times a day . , In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ? please help me I truly appricat it . In addition, the mini card will freeze the whole phone is there is a solution like reinstall the whole thing ?
Hmmm, "the mini card will freeze the whole phone"??? Are you referring to the SD Storage Card? Do you have any volatile data stored on the card? Any Today Screen Applications?
If this is the case, try shutting off the phone and removing the card. Then place the card into a card reader, and plug it into your PC. Make a folder on the desktop of your PC, and COPY all the contents of the SD card to the folder.
Now, reformat the SD card in your PC, as FAT32, and default for all characteristics.
Once reformatted, copy all that stuff back onto the SD card from the temp folder on your desktop, making sure everything is returned to it's original locations. Pop the SD card back into your phone and see if it's fixed. Sometimes, corrupted space on the SD card will make the phone behave very badly. Hopefully, this procedure might fix it for you.
-pvs
Yes Sir, i apaologize , i was refering to the SD card . i am just tierd resetting the phone every 4 hrs . do you recomend any shops that can fix the soft -ware . i notices when i start the phone and i go to clean tmp it will say" 8 Fils and 4 folders of 656 Bytes cleard ! . then 5 hrs later the blue screen comes back
After doing what pvs said, and if you still have problems I'd check for bad blocks with MTTY... I would also ,after confirming no bad blocks, would flash a stock rom then reflash wm 6.1 and see if that helps... Cheers...
Wow , how to do all that if you dont mind me asking , actually i took the SD card out i am not in need for it at the moment . can you please help me to do what you said and i truly appreciat it , Great thanks for both of you gents
pvs already says what to do in his previous post...
To check for bad blocks follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
To Flash a stock rom you need to know what carrier the phone was on. Download the wm6 update from their site and, Making sure you have Hard SPLed your phone, I suggest flashing via the sd card method. Its safer than flashing through pc.
Format sd card fat32. copy .nbh file of the stock rom (you may have to search for it) onto the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh". Put back in hermes and reset to bootloader (power button, OK button above flywheel and soft reset with stylus. Hold all buttons until it goes to tri-colour screen). It should recognise the os flash and load up a screen showing 1st boot screen, 2nd boot screen, gsm And os (or something like that as cooked roms don't generally have the gsm part). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 50% BATTERY!!!!! Follow the prompts... I generally use the sd card method to flash ALL my roms so I don't have problems like usb disconnecting or pc rebooting/hanging or power failures.
Hope this helps you out, Cheers...
BASELABBAS ... Please describe what you are doing when you say that you are "HARD-RESETTING" several times a day. Are you:
1) poking the stylus into the hole at the base of the unit?
- or -
2) holding down the two soft-keys WHILE poking the stylus into the hole until the confirmation screen appears, and then opening the keyboard and typing 'R' and then [SPACEBAR]?
If you are doing the first ... this is called a SOFT reset. The second is a HARD-RESET, and will wipe the phone clean of ANYTHING outside of what came with the ROM itself.
Since you have posted that you already removed the SD Card from the device, and can (for the time-being) live without it, I recommend you do an ACTUAL Hard Reset (backup anything you need to keep first) via step #2 above, and then be patient about installing any apps. I wouldn't do anything more than sync it up via ActiveSync with your contacts for the first few of days. If things start to go crazy without any third-party apps installed, then I would look into the steps that ultramag69 has suggested ... starting with a flash to a stock ROM.
WM6.1 has been a bit shaky on our Hermes thus far. Some people are getting good results, but a lot of others are having issues like you are describing. I would suspect that your ROM might not be a good match, before I'd suspect bad blocks at this point (and it's a bit easier to test for).
If the stock rom does better on your device, you can try flashing back up to a WM6.1 ROM after that. And if you haven't already, make sure that you have installed HARDSPL before doing any of this stuff.

OK, well that's definitely a Hard Reset. So your WM6.1 Rom is acting flaky right aftwerwards, eh? I would say it's time to try a different ROM, as we've been discussing above.

No ... try Hard-SPL-V7.zip found at the bottom of THIS PAGE. I THINK you can flash it via the SD method if ActiveSync isn't working for you (if not, somebody please correct me). To do this, open the downloaded ZipFile with WinZip or WinRAR and copy the file inside named RUU_signed.nbh to your desktop. Rename it HERMIMG.NBH, and copy it to the root of your freshly reformatted (FAT32) Storage Card. Put the Storage Card into your device and press the side OK button and the power button simultaneously while resetting with the stylus until the tri-color screen appears and turns white. The device will find the HERMIMG.NBH file and offer to upgrade by pressing the Power Key. This will install HardSPL onto your device without the need for ActiveSync. You can also flash ROMs in this manner.
Again, good luck,

No, You need to run a file from the phone itself to install hard SPLvia sd card. You can find it on page 116 of the hard SPL or how not to brick your hermes thread.

my HTC HD2 keep flashing on HTC green logo here's the thing i did before this happened:
1) after having hanged most of the time because of having full internal memory (holding power button "HARD RESET")
2) holding power button and enter into the 1-10 options i dont know what you guys call them but there is a 1-10 option and what i did was do the factory reset and ask me to wipe all the files and hit ok, and some running deleting and i dont know what to call them then it reboot then suddenly it just keep restarting on HTC green logo.
i actually go to the other shop that they said they can repair this kind of problem and i watch them on their computer they just keep searching and posting on the other site asking for help so i said to the technician, we're wasting both our time waiting for your help in the other sites so ask them can you give me back my phone pls. and here i am found the XDA forum so decided to register and look for your genius help i know you guys are pro when it comes to this kind of problem can someone help me pls this phone is all i got, got no money to buy another phone this is like a treasure to me since i dont have a job,
PLS PLS PLS help with this some say i need to reflash? i dont know how or what should i do.
Thanks in advance guys.
any comments is highly appreciated!
info
additional info
using android 2.3
T-Mobile
i read some forums that should i back up first before doing the factory reset using the 1-10 option i somehow factory reset without having a back up of it i thought its just ordinary factory reset
someone help me pls
i will give you any information that you needed in my HTC as long as you help me how to do it im totally noob.
I think you have a nand rom if so tr doing a clean install.
1. Flash a stock WM6.5 rom
2. Flash magldr (which i think u have) or BlackCLK (I personally prefer this for android on NAND and if not dualbooting)
3. Find a cool rom in the NAND section, Flash it and enjoy.
Let me know if you need more info.
reflash with stock rom t-mbole,
folow of procedure how to flash it,,.

THanks for your very helpful reply sorry for being noob what is stock WM6.5? magldr or BlackCLK? cool rom? I think you have a nand rom if so tr doing a clean install? what is TR? help me pls i need a step by step guide? i really appreciate your reply this means to me thanks.
Before you start READ THIS. The default os the HD2 comes with is known as Windows mobile 6.5. The developers at XDA have managed to make android work on this device using special secondary bootloaders which need to be flashed(installed) on the HD2.
There are two of them, one is MAGLDR made by cotulla which is the one you have i think (the numbers with options when it starts) the other is CLK which is open source. These bootloaders allow you to boot an Android rom (the os).
Before we start download and install Windows mobile device center on your PC. Once done follow the steps.
Step1 - WINDOWS MOBILE
a. First we are going to put the HD2's default os WM6.5 (THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING) Download this
b. Turn off your phone, hold the volume down and power button until it shows a screen with three colors (Bootloader).
c. Connect your phone to the PC (Where it says SERIAL on your phone it should change to USB) and run the file you downloaded in "a" and follow the instructions it says.
d. The phone will reboot after the process and boot the os.
Step 2 - secondary Bootloaders
Just to be sure before you start this go in to the tricolored screen It should say 2.08HSPL somewhere if it doesn't DO NOT continue. If it does continue on.
This where you have 2 options one is MAGLDR and the other is CLK (I prefer BlackCLK since you can easily congfiure it to modify the sizes of system and data without a PC). If you'd like magldr try this video it should help
BlackCLK - Download
a. Format an SD card and copy the LEOIMG.nbh from the zip to SD.
b. Put it in the HD2 and boot into the tri colored screen.
c. It should say something to flash it, follow what it says.
d. Once done reboot. it'll say something cannot be found and go to a menu. if your reach it YAY. Volume keys to move and green key to select
Since you have t-mobile you have enough storage space unlike european hd2
so we'll skip dataonEXT (basically moves data to a secondary partition on your sd) if you want it let me know.
INSTALLING android
a. Find a nice rom (os) in the android nand section since you were on 2.3 you can continue with it or try 4.2 (jellybean) rom Good fast roms are pixelfreaks, nexushd2(from tytung) or most of the older 2.3 roms.
b.1 Once you find one you like download it and copy it (the .zip file) to your sd and put it in your hd2.
b.2. Each rom has size requirements for system and cache (it says it on the thread for the rom).
c. GO to settings ---> resize partition set system and cache according to required by the rom save/apply it. go back format nand. then reboot
c. go to recovery, once loaded click install and choose your rom and follow the instructions it says.
d. reboot and you should be good to go.

Thanks for your reply man i really really appreciate this, im gonna try this one my wife want to try the jellybean since its new :laugh: is jellybean a fast rom? anyway how do i know if the file is in correct hash or not corrupted? i read some forums some files are corrupted? what do you recommend me i would like a fast rom instead? does it need a 100% battery?
(Just to be sure before you start this go in to the tricolored screen It should say 2.08HSPL somewhere if it doesn't DO NOT continue. If it does continue on) *what should i do if not 2.08 HSPL?
what should i do to know the verison of my HSPL?
i think i should follow your instruction its because its easy to follow rather than the one you hyperlink in READ THIS, is it ok?
too many questions sorry i just wanted to be sure, thanks for your wonderful help god bless!

If you do not have HSPL2.08 (most likely you'll have it since you already had MAGLDR) you should Flash HSPL 2.08
Well not quite sure which rom is the best but, i have tried Pixel freaks AOKP and Slim ROM, they both are 4.2.2 and were pretty good but you'll have to find one which suits you.

sorry again i just want to be sure i dont want to mess my cellphone, i think i should follow your instructions its because its easy to follow rather than the one you hyperlink in READ THIS, is it ok?
is there a way to view what my current HSPL? i tried this one holding power button and volume down button this is how it shows
PB81120 HX-B3
SPL-2.08. HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x40
so should i start now the process that you told me?
if i do this does it delete the amagldr?
and also d. Once done reboot. it'll say something cannot be found and go to a menu. if your reach it YAY. Volume keys to move and green key to select? (if i reach it'll say something cannot be found and go to menu? it means i did something bad? or its normal to reach on that scenario?)
The READ THIS part was for Basic Info.
Yeah your HSPL stuff seems fine
And yes it will remove MAGLDR and in the end youll eventually be using clk (latest one which i put the link for is CLK 1.5.x.) I dont think it'll matter that much since you aren't dual booting (WP7 and android) and have android on NAND(The phone itself). If you want to use MAGLDR over CLK follow the video and Not the CLK part
should i start now?
so should i start now the process that you told me?
i read the some info in clk does it auto configure by default?
"Changed some options under SETTINGS.
Added option to use inbuilt off-mode charging under SETTINGS/SET DEFAULT OFF-MODE CHARGING. From that menu you can select it (option USE INBUILT OFF-MODE CHARGING) and try it out.
If using inbuilt off-mode charging the device wakes up if you press POWER [button].
This is an experimental feature! Only tested with original battery and charger.
High Voltage (as measurement) is set to 4.2 V. Use at your own risk! Otherwise stick to the default way of charging (option USE RECOVERY'S OFF-MODE CHARGING).
Usb detection function changed (option under SETTINGS/ENABLE USB DETECTION). "USB" mark at the bottom of the screen if device connected to pc is replaced by turning led on/off if connected/disconnected.
Added some code as an experiment for a potential off-mode alarm application.
More info in this thread.
Warning : I didn't know java or how to use eclipse and make an android app. Seriously, I still don't. But after some days I managed to write this application mostly because I wanted to know if this idea was possible. So consider it as an example. Any criticism accepted. I just hope that someone may find it useful and make the best out of it."
i dont want to take the risk can you help me configure it to "ALL" default? i know you 're the one who can help me.
<in your previous post what do you mean by this?>
and also d. Once done reboot. it'll say something cannot be found and go to a menu. "if your reach it YAY". Volume keys to move and green key to select? (if i reach it'll say something cannot be found and go to menu? it means i did something bad? or its normal to reach on that scenario?)
thanks man each time you reply you educate me.
should i start now?

i just want to ask which folder should i put the LEOIMG.nbh?
what format of sd card? fat32?
what version of clk that i shall download? stable, legacy or experimental?
which one should i download?
Quote:
cLK (source code)
Experimental
Stable
Legacy
Quote:
ppp wrappers (source code)
0.8b4
0.8b5
where do i download the new clk version?
thanks man
The default CLK settings are fine as they are, the only things you will need to change will be the the partition sizes (system and cache depending on the rom).
Put LEOIMG.nbh on the root not in any folders
Sdcard should be formatted FAT32
CLK Experimental (Although its pretty stable). The latest version is the one i have put the BlackCLK download link for.

you mean just copy the LEOIMG.nbh in sd ok, just in the root of the sd what formating tools?
why do i need to change the partition size i read in forum the minimum is 220mb? is ok?
thank you bro
Just regular format the sd through windows fat32.
The Partition size thing is for the PHONE not the SD. Each rom requires different SYSTEM sizes, like for example even though the minimum is 220mb you might want to add more in case you plan on adding stuff to system like GAPPS (Google apps) or any mods.
The reason for this is because even though your phone has 1gb Storage internal you will need to tell it how much each part of it should be used by system, cache (some is used by the recovery) and the remaining will be DATA( where your installed apps go).
When you first put CLK it will have some other system size (150mb i think) set so you'll need to change it.
Sorry forgot this part in the main guide. But if you want to increase you storage you will need to partition your sd card in the recovery before you flash your rom. First partiton -Fat32 and second as partition as EXT4, the size of your EXT4 will be added to your phone and will be counted as internal storage and then while flashing the rom choose with DataonExt. If you dont really care about this just ignore this.
P.S. Ohh in the rom installation IF it asks for PPP or RMNET choose PPP, RMNET is only for MAGLDR.

oh ok thanks for this wonderful info.
you mean it is rooted automatically?
is it ok if im only using 2gb sd?
and what if i want to repartition the sd card anytime?
All hd2 roms are rooted.
2GB for what, DataonExt?(for data one ext to work youll need to have a second ext partition)
well its best to do it before installation and choose that option while installing the rom, if not you can do it after but it sometimes doesnt work with some roms. You can partition the sdcard later ( so with 2 gb youll want to make 1 gb ext and the remaining 1Gb will be your ext or whaterver is left), but then youl have to flash a dataonext zip (the v2).
But its best to do this before hand althought the best option for tmobile hd2's is just nand (without dataonext,, data onext is usually for EU hd2's since they have smaller storages.), also to use dataonext it needs a fast sdcard otherwise it can slightly slow down the rom(cause the apps will be running of the sd).

my phone has only 576mb (t-mobile) do i have to partition my phone also?
sd card 2 gb.
anyway if i use the partition right after i install the rom the 1 gb isa fat32 and the other 1 gb for ext? so my question is the rom will create the ext system file? because windows doesnt have ext.
so do i have to use this partition thing? its kinda complicated like y ou said im using t-mobile can i skip this partition? or it is necessary to install a rom?
additional info for my phone: sim locked, not yet unlock
can you also help me to sim unlock?
thanks man! God bless!
576mb is RAM which both T-mboile and EU hd2's have, the only difference is T-mobile has 1GB ROM/NAND (the storage) while EU has 512mb.
Just wondering you phone does say T-mobile and has a green call key and red end key right???
First off the phone partition thing is different compared to sd. For the phone look at the system size and cache size required for the rom and resize those in CLK.
Second you can skip the SD partitioning its not a highly required especially for t-mobile I just added that as an extra.
Third Try experimenting you'll never get anywhere if you dont try .
And i have no idea about simlock try googling it

my phone it has a green call button to the left and red button to the right but when you turn on the HTC the loading screens are color pink stick together, then it goes to the something says 123456 go go go, then go to HTC queitly brilliant, htc green logo, (in my case it hangs in green logo) lets continue color pink Beats logo, then htc green logo then the regular home screen.
my phone has a t-mobile in front of the face plate near the small speaker when you make a call.
can i skip the dataonext? its kinda complicated
and one more thing after i install the stock rom will the HSPL 2.08 will be deleted?
Thank you very much! God bless!
ps. my internal storage is 500+ only not 1 gb, i dont know if its just locked but im pretty sure my internal memory 569 to be exact i dont know why.
Thanks. God bless!
