These devices right out of the box just don't seem ready for market. Whether its some draconian bootloader not letting one install the ROM he wants or tweaks and settings that arent right, out of the box they leave quite a bit to be desired.
But then i comes the people of this board. As i read through the extensive wiki and went through the process of flashing new ROMs on my Hermes I really came to appreaciate the MASSIVE amount of effort put in by this community in order to allow this PDA to really live up to its potential.
So thank you to all the contributors! I couldn't have even begun this process without your help.
i agreee with you
Me too. You folks are great!!!
ditto!
I would probably have sent this thing back were it not for sleuth255 and mikechannon and goestoeleven and others working on this forum.
fortunately htc has this free resource to fix their buggy phones.
i'm still eagerly awaiting the 8525 aku3.3 update. cingular had said it was due out by feb 1st, but here it isn't. maybe it will be soon. I still wake up with a locked up phone pretty often.
thanks to all of you that have helped make this feature rich thing useable.
wes
Thank you and I too like this community

I agree with all the accolades given. I looked on this board before I bought the phone so I was prepared for what it was not when it came. I had also downloaded all the goodies and was ready to make it the way I wanted it. But since then, more and more things were discovered and shared. Right now, this phone is almost just right. There are a couple of things I am waiting for the new ROM to resolve, but it is currently the best device I have had yet.
As soon as a better toy comes out, I will quickly jump ship and take that one, but only if it has the kind of support this forum gives.

TYNT II
FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!
as soon as tmobile rolls it out.. its mine.. muahahahhahaa
If you don't need a keyboard the Polaris is a wicked phone...or maybe a shift if your ballin' out of control.
The Shift is not a phone.. it's like 7+ inches long and is a UMPC...but the Advantage is considered a phone and still fits in a pant pocket..unless it's a guy that's wearing those stupid brand new super tight & tapered wussie looking girlies pants they try to sell in the men'sdept stores that have no pocket space at all.. but if you're wearing like Rockawear or whatever..then they might fit in the pocket.. hehe btw... the next gen of Advantage is coming out... the Enhanced Advantage X7510
Why did you sell the Herald before getting your next phone lined up??
What are you looking for in your phone?? another pda phone? or just a smart/multimedia phone? something flashy or something powerful? with or without FM radio? blablablablablabla.... give us some more info on what you want! Do you need 3G? or 3.5G? or too poor to afford it lot a lot of other people hehe.
.. :'(
did you already get a new one?
Try out the Touch Vogue or Touch Cruise...
or Sedna... or do you if you liked your P4350.. go for a Panda(cool name hehe for p6300) or TyTn II
What's your budget??
Anyone keeping up with news from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona???
is there a thread for that yet?
Thank you very much for your openions, I baught a TyTn II, Lovely device, Solid and Fast.
Best Regards
This thing is pretty sweet.

Useless thread...see ya!
too bad it didn't work out for you. but we're happy here so maybe it's not your destiny to enjoy this awesome phone
?????
Maaaaan BS i bricked this phone so many times and put it back to normal FACTORY settings and it still runs silky smooth, and it's the same US T-Mobile HTC HD2
Still on my first HD2, which is running fine, and just the way I like it.
I don't think it's 'dead' at all. Someone come and sat next to me with the new iPhone yesterday, trying to show off. I got mine out (phone lol) and felt instantly better equipped than he did, with his little screen and locked down software.

Thread closed.
What is it with some of the owners, and developers of the MT3G? Seems in every active thread that we have people bickering, and nit picking each other. I don't know if this is going on in the other forums, but really is it called for? This phone already has a lack of development. The damn G1 gets more attention fro developers than our phone and that is about a 3 year year old phone.
I appreciate all the developers that work on our phones trying to keep those of us without the funds to buy a new phone busy with new ROMS, Themes, Ports and whatever else.
I agree, and patience is a virtue... which nobody has evidently.
I appreciate everything that the devs and other members do here, I'm not smart enough (Yet) to do my own deving so I'll be happy with whatever anyone puts out with no *****ing or complaning.
What ever happened to respect?
When the G1 dropped I was one of the first couple thousand owners shipped, I was rooted the day I found this site, and flashed a new ROM every freaking day it seemed. There was a fury of activity over there, and even there was a little bit of this going on. But then it was more so noobs not reading and asking questions and bugging the developers. We lost a couple great developers from those beginning days, but also spawned new talent.
We all have a common goal here. To push our phones beyond anything the manufacture thought possible (look at what the G1 is doing) But it seems all we are doing is trying to knock each other down.
I wish I had the time to rehash some of the programming skills I have lost over the last couple of years due to the closing of my computer and the opening of a HVAC company. Sense that is not an option I rely on the developers here.
I would love to see this phone brought back to life.
Just to add to this, if you ever see a post you are not happy with, or is what you believe to be nit-picking, flaming, trolling, abusive, rude etc... Use the report a post button and it will be flagged for me or a senior moderator to deal with.
For those of you who don't know what the report button looks like.

For the amazing Dilidroid Rom - personally one of my favourites. Looks stunning.

Good move on putting yourself out there, but may I add something? If you're looking for work, paid or otherwise, don't limit yourself. By asking for only "ROMs or threads that are well known or have some decent amount of views/users", you're setting yourself up to fail. I can almost guarantee you that any large development project already has it's graphic taken care of. Instead, why not offer your services to smaller/less known devs? Not only is this good because a) you actually stand a chance of finding work, but also b) because, whether we like to admit it or not, we as people are shallow; we base things off the face value. We do judge books by their covers, both consciously and subconsciously. You can have the best ROM in all the lands, partnered with the fastest, smoothest kernel that delivers crazy battery life, but if you've got banners, etc. done up in MS Paint, you're guaranteed to instantly lose a tonne of potential users.
I can't tell you how many times I've left a thread thirty seconds after viewing it, because the banners, logos, text, and everything is simply downright hideous. If reflects, if you can't even bother to make your work look good, what does that say about your effort in your development? At the same time, I've tried a lot of different ROMs, kernels and apps simply based off their looks/screenshots/logos, etc..
Try to get over who you want to work for, and start thinking about who would accept your work.

Hi @jenneh just wanted to say thanks for your commitment and that you contribute to the somewhat dusty nvidia area to keep alive.
The shield is such a cool device, what you could not do everything with it.
Unfortunately, I personally lack the time and the know-how to bring the whole thing something forward.

Thank You So Much Dear~! I completely understand the lack of time part, it's kind of what motivated me to start writing things down and figuring out ways to automate more and now I am working on the "delegate" part xD
I do agree that the shield is Really Neat! It's the perfect little android box, for myself at least, to play and learn to hack with.
Nvidia at Least Tries to make it easier to get Root than others but it still could be easier XD
I found out the Answer! I think this was a mis-spelled image and was actually supposed to be "dtb.img" If anyone else would like to learn more about what this dtb.img is for, see this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/learning-about-the-boot-img.4516537/
Well now I'm not so sure bc this article
Android Verified Boot (AVB) - postmarketOS
wiki.postmarketos.org
I don't know right now if dtb and dtbo.img are the same thing, all I know is it is related to AVB android verified boot which absolutely is engaged on both the STOCK and DEVELOPER firmwares. I will absolutely be back whenever I find out for sure what it all means
Praise the robots. ChatGPT was able to explain once and for all
I wasn't intentionally looking for this answer but it appeared. Finally. Haha.
Also, the robot told me how to turn the avb off. Will try that later but know that it is able to explain that if you would like to try
