Hi.
Since a few hours my HTC is showing the screen in I think 16 colors.
I already tried to flash new ROMs but nothing change.
Someone any idea.

if my suspicions are correct, you can go here --> HD Dummies Flashing Guide to fix your problem. it pays to read about what you're doing before you do it. .
Did you put HSPL 1.56 on your phone? if not.. you should
Sounds like a HardSPL problem.
I had this problem when I upgraded to HardSPL v1.54, but the ROM was an older ROM. After upgrading to a newer ROM, this problem disappeared. I wasn't alarmed because this problem was expected, as written in HardSPL guide.
Maybe you should try the same...
Sounds like a SPL problem that gets reported every day. Please try searching before creating new thread.
Yesterday I've HSPL'd my leo.
Then I flashed the Dutty0.3v and thought everything was fine. Until this morning the device was unlocked with S2U2 and hung afterwards (not able to show manila page). After a softreset, device hung at white bootscreen (three red version lines bottom). Several softreset later, it actually lost all its settings, windows welcome center was welcoming me. So it did a hardreset.
Then I flashed another rom, the freyberryROM.V5.3. After flashing, I always hardreset the phone of course.
After two hours configuring and installing, all of a sudden some application weren't starting anymore, so I thought let's do a softreset, to see, if it fixes things. The same happened, device hung a bootscreen. After softreset, a hardreset occured again....
First I wanted to put the blame on the HSPL, but I think it was coincidence. But thinking over and over about my procedure and reading the dutty rom's thread, I think this has to do with S2U2. Maybe some of you experienced this as well, and we can put together what might be the culprit.
Details:
Using S2U2 v2.24 (video rawbuffer mode) - imported settings from reg-file.
Using T2Pro-Theme on SD-Card
Manila and every other HTC/WM setting concerning language set to German.
Hooked on Exchange2010 - Pushmail activated.
Somebody in Dutty's thread said, that those hard-resets get quite common with the newer ROMs, and it would help to flash a stock rom before, can somebody comment on this?
Thanks for any input!
ROM
I have had the same too with my former Blackstone, as I flashed it with T2M PDViet, I thought it is a virus, however I solved it by downloading a new version and installed it all over again, good luck

We had to do this on all the WM6.5 cooked roms for Kaiser, not heard of it being required for HD2 yet, why not post this in the thread for the ROM you are using?
Before flashing another custom ROM, flash an official stock ROM (1.42/1.48).
I encountered these issues on my TytnII and this weekend, I got the same problem on the HD2. Flahing 1.48 WWE before flashing custom ROM solved the issue for me.
Also: flashing 2.xx ROMs using 1.42xxx SPL may result in unexpected issues.

I've had this on my TytnII as well, but I never heard it for the HD2. So Custom to Custom ROM flashing is a NO GO?
?? Is there any other SPL? SSPL and HSPL are both 1.42 based....
In the diamond and other devices like tynt you could fix this with MTTY but dont know if it will work with the hd2
I thought MTTY was for recovering a device after a bad/interrupted flash??
Can you really use it to fix the non-boot situation and recover your installation?
So, when talking about stock-rom flashing is SoftSPL-flashing enough, or is a full HSPL- or even CID-ID-corresponding flash (incl. radio-rom) necessary?
Can somebody shed some technical background around this issue? I don't understand that there are mysterious areas, which don't get flashed and updated when flashing from custom to custom rom. There is no logic that this works for ONE flash ONLY.
Viewing this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4798017&postcount=1 , I think a task 32 in MTTY after flash must be a solution (official RUU seem to make it). But never tried.

Nope, officially hardresetting a device is recommended after flashing custom rom, I even ran into these issues without hard-resetting after flash (actually forgot it) , so leaving it intentionally out won't fix it.
Are you using CustomRUU to flash your device. I'm sure I read somewhere that flashing from the MicroSD card can cause problems but can't remember what they were now....just a thought

Ok, so, we have to found the "Format BINFS" task for HD2 bootloader. It's the command "task 29" on the Diamond (1) and the HD (BlackStone).
So for my experience on the Diamond, we have to do a task 29 before to flash to have a fully cleaned storage before write on this.
So I'ven't found any documentation on this for the HD2, I still investigate with IDA and original RUU, but it's my first attempt to decompile a soft...and it's not really easy to understand.
So we need people with two phone and able to practice JTAG to test a task 29 on Leo bootloader without risk to brick it...and it's not my case.
ps : sorry for my poor English.

It's not the flashing, me thinks. I experienced the issues only after flashing from custom TO custom rom. So I just think, it's like to old KAISER's times:
Always flash stock rom before!
Has anyone else noticed this?
I've never flashed a stock rom between custom roms and never had any lock up problems. I always use sspl or customRUU. Just thinking it might be the way you're flashing as I'm sure I read somewhere on the forum that there were problems with flashing from the MicroSD card.

I am absolute unfamiliar with this tasks you do with the RUU....
So task 29 did solve any "leftovers" and freaky behaviour on a diamond?

hey - we're getting closer. thinking about a sub-forum about flashing techniques, they will surely get device-dependant at some point.
if a call of task 29 would not make any problems, should it not be made and considered as standard for custom flashing?
did ever anybody brick his device with it? there must be something, causing that fear...
nobody on xda normally shows this respect for trying out undocumented functions

ya some people have bricked his device because of this... but well it can usually get fixed! problem was that they used mtty without having a hardspl and then they couldnt flash any rom... but if you have hardspl then no problem because you can flash from bootloader!
And if you dont have hardspl then you should also be able to flash HTc official rom(or the official rom that came with your device)
Anyways i wouldnt be first one to try it on my hd2 xD (only if i had problems)

Why hesitating? I'd love to see a "call task 29" as a menu item in your BSB tool I woke up this morning, and I felt for yelling "Task 29" to my girlfriend. No, to be honest, I didn't, I said "69" and enjoyed the morning.
I am going to try this method out and report back, but as it seems, it will be seen as a hack, that doesn't fit for everybody. But I would prefer this against always preloading a stock rom, if it would do the job.
Thanks for putting light on this!

Hi,
this is correct, you can stop this happening by flashing a OFFICIAL rom before your cooked rom.
Although i have just posted a thread on MTTY, which is the EXACT answer to all problems in this thread.
THREAD HERE - (It is Under Construction so please dont use until the big red warning has gone, you cant miss it!!)
MG
I was having the same exact problems with softspl and hardspl and with any custom rom. My cousin has the same issues too. I flashed back to stock 1.61 and dont have hardresets anymore.
Hi All:
I bought a P3400i about an year ago and the camera on the phone has not been working since the day I purchased it.
I tried tapping on the camera icon under Programs, Tried pressing the Camera button on the device, and even tried locating the Camera EXE file and tapped it. The camera app doesn't open at all. I tried a hard reset as well. It still is not working.
(But whenever I tap on the camera Icon under 'programs' it promptly appears on the 'recent programs' list under the 'start' menu)
Please help!
Is there a solution to my above problem? Its so frustrating to have this phone without a camera. Would be great if someone could help.

Try to load a custom ROM and see if its a driver related issue. Or try a stock ROM from the wiki. But PLEASE PLEASE Read the stickies about upgrading in ROM Dev section properly before taking a dip.

Thanks Addicted2xda. Could you please point me to a link to download the stock ROM. I am new to this forum and would really appreciate if you could help.

Before downloading the stock ROM, you will have to find out whether your gene is 'Old' or 'New'. To find that out there is a thread by ramersonw in the Gene\ROM Development section - have a look there.
But make sure that you do not patch your SPL (since You never said that you want to flash your device with a custom ROM ).
You can find your stock ROM in the Gene wiki. at

Thanks Addicted. A couple things though:
1.) The HTC Gene Wikiwiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Gene only has two stock ROMs. One for WM 5 and one for WM 6. I have a P3400i running WM 6.
So, When I click on the WM6 link there, it goes toforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396744. Now this thread has another linky to a rapid share file called Old_gene_original_WM6.rar. Is this file only for the old gene? Where do I find the stock ROM if my phone is a new Gene?
Please advise.
2.) I couldn't find the thread for identifying new and old gene. Please help!
dude plz do hard reset ur gene......no need to do all the stuff......but if u wana do,then plz read all the threads of upgrading vry carefully.....
@above
I did try a hard reset. It still isn't working.
Actually, I am scared of this ROM flashing thingy
Is there any other way to set this thing right. May be a driver or something I can install for the camera to make it work? Any help would be really appreciated.
plz change ur rom.......i think it will help u out of this stufff......b4 changing rom plz read here each & every step carefully....all d best
i just got given a htc touch dual and its got the telstra crap all through it and its driving me nuts so i went and attempted to install a new rom on it but it would not let me... i read somewhere that you have to install something called HSPL and i have tried a few but i have not been able to find any that work.
so the questions are:
does anyone know where i can find the hspl program hspl 0.94.0000?
once i install that can i install a new rom?
edit: it says its a neon 200

my knowledge there is only SPL - 0.95.0000 !! if interested you can look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260
with these spl you can flash WM6.5 rom on your neon, this thread Max's Neon ROM Test (WM6.5 Build 21500) ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482269
just got it to work....thanks
Hi. I have a hd2. When I install windows mobile my accelerometer and gsensor works fine but, when I flash Android ROM, my accelerometer doesn't work. I try with task 29, reflash everything, I try calibration with bubble app. And nothing happens. Please I need help. Thanks.
I use AmericanAndroid (sd build, so I can swap back to WinMo if I want to use TomTom or iGo) and haven't ever had a problem with mine.
Have you tried various builds?

Some ROMs do not support accelerometer/have issues with it I think.
Try asking in your ROMs thread if it is not a known bug.
And try different roms, to eliminate the fact that it might be hardware, not OS issue.
g sensor
It is a problem with different hardware revisions. In simple therms there is no driver for your board. Thre are a lot of people out here(my self included) with the same problem and until someone, and by someone i mean some of the devs write the new driver we are stuck. I dont think it wil happen as they now write new stuff for the ICS and maybe then the bloody thing will work.
Try new kernal or rom. In my miui( version in my sig) its working. There are fixes for it. Read thread named compilation in hd2 forums.
send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2
Used a different firmware - the result is the same
Need to keep this and threds like this up in hope that someone notices our problems. My hd2 got repaired and the board changed and since then no g sensor. It is strange even taking a picture. It works fin with windows but i dont want freaking windows.
