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
In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

Reflash modem through Odin.
Hello, I have a Samsung S7. It boots up fine, you go into APP's or messages, pictures, but after 10 or 15 seconds it reboots or and or, it never operates normally. I would like to know if there is a way to fix the phone. Or if there is a way I can get all the information off the phone. Pictures and text messages.
I can't believe no one out there has had this problem. Can it be a battery problem? Can I load old firmware with ODIN? Any help would be great.

If you're unrooted , it's really strange to witness such an issue . Backup your stuff including the internal storage and then boot into recovery using the Vol UP + Home + Power button together . Scroll down to wipe data/reset . AFter it's complete .. reboot .
WARNING : This will wipe your phone completely including the internal storage . SO backup
If the above solution still doesn't work - FInd the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com/firmware and flash it through odin
All set. Loaded the latest firmware this morning and I am all set.
Hi, noob here, first time attempting flashing an android phone - I was involved a few years ago in flashing (Jailbreaking) iPhones so I kind of know the risks and what to expect etc
I'm having a bit of a chew trying to root my Huwaei P Smart FIG-LX1
I have DC unlocker primed and ready to go, however I believe I need to get the phone to Android 8.0.x before I can use that.
First of all I tried using eRecovery using Firmware Finder - Managed to get everything correct for that, and get my router DNS changed ready for the download - This fails, it seems to take ages to connect and then times out
With that out of the window I thought I would try via SD card, so I've downloaded what I think is the correct FW from androidhost.ru (FIG-LX1 8.0.0.132(C782)) and followed a couple of tutorials on here to get that on to the SD, basically like this...
Unpack the zip, create a folder on the freshly formatted SD Card (exFat) named 'dload' - Move the update.app to the root of the dload folder
Try installing from the phone - E.g system>about>update (doesn't exist on my phone) then by forcing using both volume buttons pressed, with the power button - This boots the EMUI and then I get a message saying 'update failed'
Also tried by going to the dialler and typing *#*#2846579#*#* and doing the update here - This reboots the phone I get a spinning wheel for a bit when the EMUI apears, then another 'software update failed' message
The phone is currently on build 9.1.0.160 and has been factory restored
So I'm a bit stuck now, is there any way I can get this phone downgraded to 8.0.x?
TIA
It should be possible to root the phone:
