hello, can anyone help?
I'm just trying to restore my photo's/music etc using PCC restore option. it's worked flawlessly before, but now the phrogram works fine until i click the restore button, then it just hangs forever, if i click anywhere on screen, the window turns totally white and it says "(not responding) at the top. I've tried leaving it for a good half hour, but no progress at all....any ideas?
::EDIT::
found a sort of work around, loaded the program without connecting my phone, clicked on the backup i wanted to restore and clicked on view contents......it froze again, but i left it running while i was at work, when i came back it's ready, so i clicked on extract and it's now extracting all the files to my desktop so i can then manually transfer them back.

Hi there!
Today I tried for the first time a rom Update...It went fine so I decided to move onto the radio update and I elected 1.41 ( latest ) the one to try...
After rom update was completed I let it softreset and boot WM5; I switched on the phone but after few seconds It crashed ( or exit?) back to desktop.I restarted it and I was even able to make a call, but when I open the contacts it doesn't allow me to see anything inside ( briefly shows the top bar, the one with the letters for search ) and if I try the quick contacts ( with the scroll wheels), names are there, but there's no number below it only shows a "c"...
Got it
after upgrading I tried resetting everything with spb backup...That did something wrong and didn't allow the phone to be working properly...HR and reinstalling everything from scratch
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?
I recently purchased an Optimus T and rooted it with z4root and then installed Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps, like the Pacman Demo.
As I was removing each app, (~5 at this point) the Home button suddenly stopped working, followed by total phone death. Even after factory reset, when I was trying to access the phone, eventually I was shown a "... setup.exe stopped responding..." (or something like that) message and my phone just stayed stuck on the booting screen (android) every time I restart (w/o entering factory reset).
Does anyone have any ideas, or know which apps can prevent the phone from booting properly? A list of safe apps to delete would be helpful too. I thought I was pretty cautious with removing only non essential apps, but it seem bricked. Thanks again!

About list off apps, I have to agree. Even it there is litle problem with dependencies, some minimum describe of these issue will be great!!
So, about your problem - I think, that you will have to download original ROM and do flashing with KDZ_FW_UPdater. (search on xda for more information).
But definitely, if it's possible I would try to install custom recovery throw adb shell (android SDK tools) and do backup of system for possibility to recovery or saving at least few data, and after try wipe and install one of custom ROM.
This happened to me after I tried deleting preinstalled apps on my Optimus One... Sent it in for repairs since it just stopped working. The tech guy said he did a "software update" and everything is good as new (except for the LGMITS error once in a while)
They didn't even bother trying to fix mine. They just told me to send it in and gave me a replacement.
So I finally figured out what I did wrong - basically when I was doing the deleting, I accidentally deleted the LG Home app, which effectively deactivated my (duh) home button and effectively stopped everything from functioning properly. For some reason I thought it was just a simple link from my phone directly to the LG website, as would happen with new PCs very often. Well... won't be doing THAT again.
However, my web2go button isn't working. I have to force quit every time I try to click on it. Can I just get rid of it or will it just give me more trouble later on?
At least you knew what went wrong with yours... I was just erasing CarHome and Layar and the LG App Adviser among other things i wont be using like Twitter and Latitude.
And they even gave you a new one x__x I had to wait 5 days before everything was good as new. After the first fix, USB debugging and mass storage stopped working so I sent it in for another "software update"...
I have a NT and tried a couple of times to do the 1.4.1 rooting procedures found on this forum but never could get my audio back on the device. So, I decided to go another route...go back to stock 1.4.0, root and then block the updates.
I went to here and installed and ran the hijacker:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419598
However, my software version still shows 1.4.0. Doesn't the hijacker set it to 9.9.9?
Nope
After finding and watching the videos, I see that I had the wrong impression of what Hijack was supposed to do even though I installed it.
So instead I purchased Titanium backup, went in and started freezing DeviceManagerService 2.3.4.
It's been in the process of freezing for 20 minutes now. Any idea how long this should take?
Thanks!

shouldn't take that long, make sure usb debugging is checked, both of the usb debuggings. as a precaution check usb debugging once, uncheck it, and check it again to make sure it stays for the rest of the time you have your NT on. This only applies to the top usb debugging option. hope this helps!
Checked
Ok, I went in and noticed that the USB debugging was not checked so I checked it.
The freeze is still running. Should I turn my NT off and retry again?
Update
I restarted the NT, went in once again to confirm the USB debug settings.
When I went back into Titanium backup and checked, the device manager was frozen, so maybe it was the UI that wasn't updating.
The software version now is 'Unavailable'.
Thanks!

Yeah, mine behaved this same exact way. I installed "Button Savior" from the market and not I have a "back" button I can get to when ever I need it.
Button Savior
I also installed Button Savior but can't get it to show up on any of my screens. Not sure what's up with it, didn't have any permissions problems installing it.
Thanks!
Hello!
I uninstalled some system applications on my phone and I instantly regretted it and restored applications from back-ups using Wondershare MobileGo for Adroid. However, although it seems all the applications are working again, when I unlock the screen, I get a black screen - no desktop, no application list, but with the notification bar on top which works properly. The clock and calendar are displayed on the unlock screen and the alarm clock woke me up... I got some notifications on the black screen: process.android.acore, process.android.gapps and process.android.vending stopped working, process system stopped working.
How can I solve the problem? Thanx!
Since you have installed system apps, i assume that you are rooted. Now if you have taken a nandroid backup before attempting this, you can go ahead and restore that. If you dont have one, try to do a data wipe/factory reset from recovery. But before doing all these, put a ROM in your SD/internal storage as a backup to flash if something went wrong.
Do a factory reset.. should be fine but if doesn't work take a backup of you data and re-flash your rom
I followed your advice.
I had problems with a factory reset - I did a hard-reset and when a phone turned on, process com.android.browser had immediately stopped working. The screen (which had a message "touch the screen to proceed") dldn`t react to touch, so I got stucked.
I gave up and installed the whole new ROM in the end.
What an adventure...
