so, i've been around xda for awhile, but I have a problem with a t-mobile wing
i used to use this wing way back when i got it new when it came out, but i got a g1 when that came out, so i totally don't remeber how to mess with it, and I gave the phone to my father.. now it has some problems and i was wondering if anyone had a similar experience...
i know that i hard spled it and put on some sort of windows 6.1 rom a year or two ago, and it had been running fine, syncing with both a windows 7 and a windows xp computer... however, recently, it has been very random in when it syncs, and when it has an error. my t-mobile shadow and the tp2 both sync fine with the computers, so i feel that the error is on the wing's side. when i try to put on a new rom via sd card or with the launcher from my computer, it starts up, and then suddenly says something about the certificate not being correct, and reboots back into the old windows mobile i had
i assume that since i had problems with both usb and with microsd, the problem doesnt lay with the usb port which i previously had considered as the source of errors, so i was wondering if there was something i had forgotten to do to the phone in order to put on a new rom, or if there was something speical required to flash new roms using a windows 7 x64 install.
sorry for the long kinda rambling post, but if anyone could shed some light on this, it would be nice! thanks
So you can NOT flash via MicroSD? That's weird. Make sure you're following the instructions correctly.
Also, if that still fails, try re-HardSPLing your phone...it shouldn't hurt anything, and hopefully would help!
Tell us how that all goes.

hey there.
i've had my cingular 8125 wizard for nearly 2 years now. i used it a LOT, for playing games, going on wifi internet, as well as (duh) as a phone. a lot. so i dont know if it's usage or what, but my wizard is not recognizing my screen taps. i have to tap consitently under what i intend to touch. i've "recalibrated" the screen using the built-in app but nothing.
this is frustrating, especially when i'm trying to type one letter and get another!
is this my touch screen going bad due to usage? is there any way to fix it? i'm hoping to upgrade to the Tilt (8925) but that will have to wait till january or february and this is too annoying to have to endure till then.
my other problem is with copying files. i dont know if its the new Sandisk card i bought, but when i try to copy some large video files (not all files, some) it gives an error, saying the file cant be found and then for some reason the activesync connection is lost. and then to get ActiveSync to recognize the phone i have to unplug the cable, wait a while, jiggle it, and then when it feels like it it sees the phone. is this a problem with the card itself, or the phone? i've reinstalled the latest version of ActiveSync, and my phone was just flashed to the SNN Diamond ROM, in case that has anything to do with it.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Try isolating the problem by using a card reader. Check if all files complete transfer.
hiya guys i recently bought a second hand hd2 after reading some reviews on how good it was so obviously i just had to start messing with it and coming from a htc wildfire was expecting things to be just as simple as root and install a rom wich after reading up went sweet as a nut took bot 30 mins total ......so heres the problem i was really impressed showed my phone off to every1 including my dad who was also impressed so bought 1 aswell (second hand so cant get a replacement as the phone is technically not broken) now for the last 4 or 5 days ive been trying to duplicate what ive done on my phone on his but cant get the damn thing recognized and before anyone says it lol ive tried everything i can fiind on the net about the issue ive tried diffrent usb ports on my pc wich is running win7 ive tried his pc also running win7 ....my laptop with winxp all usb ports from fresh install and another laptop running vista all with the appropriate programs wmdc and activesync for xp ......i have 7 usb cables diffrent makes but 3 are official htc including the original cable for hd2 (wich i used to flash my phone) and ive tried 2 of his including his original for hd2 ....reinstalled win6.5 using sd card method and still nothing apart from the fact it charges on every cable ive tried wich to me says that the usb port on the phone is fine it doesnt bring up the menu asking how i want to use the connection i.e charge activesync or mass storage (and ive got the option ticked to ask me....and ive tried deselcting fast connect) it just doesnt recognise the connection and windows doesnt respond at all to the phone being connected even in bootloader mode it stays on serial and doesnt change to usb..... everything radio, rom is the same now as when i did mine same cable but no connection ......i think that covers everything ive tried does any1 know off anything ive missed or know if theres a fix for this issue lmao sorry bout the essay just wanted to get accross that i think ive tried EVERYTHING thanks for taking the time to read
My guess,,, bent /broken/ missing pin in the phones USB socket, or connection fault in the associated wiring to the USB port, so data connection isn't being triggered but charging works because those two pins are fine.
Can try cleaning the USB port, a soft DRY toothbrush perhaps, give the port a close examination.
thanks for quick reply i did examine the port everything looked fine couldnt see anything bent in there a clean might help but looks ok to me thats the odd thing the phone looks new no damage to the port or phone and ive read about other people having the same issue but ive tried everything that has helped others with no success just wondering wether the phones a scrapper win6.5 definatly not a keeper lol
Lol ill take it off your hands before you "scrap" it. ...

If the USB is the only issue you would probably still get a reasonable price for it on ebay.

i think that the phone in general probably gets bought for the multiple o.s .....i know thats why i got mine yea the phone has some impressive upsides but i should have read the downsides this phone seems to be a accident waiting to happen dodgy usb, dead touchscreens, dodgy or sticky power buttons and getting bricked through normal usuage .... the list seems endless from what ive read in last few days ....my hd2 seems to have gone fine but just wondering how long its gonna last im scared to use it now lmao
I wouldn't worry about that. People are always gonna post their horror stories but not many come here to say ,
"Everything's fine, touchscreen hasn't died yet..."
If it reassures you at all, I've had mine since launch, its been dropped, flashed numerous times, got soaked in the rain, smashed into a fridge and the only thing wrong with her is a small dent on the bezel by the screen. I'd say it's a pretty resiliant device for what is essentially a 4" piece of glass....

lol yea that sounds like some hardcore usage ......and yea i suppose as im looking for an actual problem or rather an answer to a problem with the phone only natural im gunna find other peoples problems
I beleive like Sam said your data transfer pins are not working. Especialy sense you said it does not ask if you want ActiveSync or Disk drive.
And without working data tranfer pins you will not be able to flash Android. You can flas MAGLDR and cLK via SD card, but you can not flash CWM or use fastboot commands without a USB connection. Sorry friend, best thing to do is flash a good custom Windows Mobile ROM to your dad's HD2 or get the USB fixed.
Hey guys thanks for the advice looks like he's getting custom windows rom lol anything for speed and useability improvements any suggeations for a good custom rom to try as I'm new tink the hd2 and a fan of android not too sure on the windows side of things

So I just got a dell venue pro a few weeks ago from a friend, it was basically new, and i finally got it carrier unlocked, but i CANNOT get it to update from 7.0.7403.0
everything seems to work fine, i downloaded the most recent zune software, i connect the phone and it has me rename it, everything works fine at this point (sync and connection are OK), the software recognizes there is an update, so i hit "update now" and it begins to update.
from this point it will stop at random spots, usually at step 6/10 "resetting phone" is where it quits most, usually getting stuck on the dell logo, but sometimes at 15% or 20%...either way it will freeze the zune software or freeze the DVP itself and i'll have to remove the battery to get it to work again...
anyway, if anyone knows how to fix whatever is wrong with it, i really want to get it updated.
I've heard of weird problems like this. People having to try the update multiple times before it will be successful. One person said he had to try using a Windows Vista PC before it worked. If you have another machine, even if it's also Windows 7, try that next. Also make sure you are using a high quality USB cable of appropriate length.
I just tried a few different USB cables, the furthest point i get to now is step 6 of 9 "restarting your phone" and the phone freezes at DELL logo. Has done that 3 times now...
this is a pretty poor first experience with Windows phone
yessssssss victory.
for anyone having any similar problems i tried like 3 USB cables since i dont have the original Dell cable (dont know if that has anything to do with it really) and 3 different computers too, finally got an XP machine to do it.
my phone froze during my first attempt, so i pulled battery and did it again. phone was backing up and "resetting"
but it never reset, it just went to dell logo and froze.
i was pissed so i just pulled battery and made it update the exact same setup again
for some reason this time it did the entire update until the final 9/10 reset, which it froze at too.
however this time when i disconnected the phone to pull the battery the zune software didnt throw an error or even look like it knew the phone was disconnected.
so i pulled battery and held down Pwr Vol Camera to put it in that software mode and plugged it back in, it acted as if it had successfully reset and finished the update...Finally, this was way more trouble than its worth IMO.
hopefully anyone that has the same issue will get some satisfaction from knowing it can be overcome.
+ im still getting random resets when using Wifi and the market, so im going to swap my 8 gig card for a 32 and see if that can be cleared up too.
+lol, 32 gig card swap is a breeze and ive had no issues yet. sweet.
Make sure to get all of the WP and firmware updates so you won't have the wifi bug. I think the larger SD card isn't a permanent fix but it's fixed with a later update. This update is worth the trouble
If you feel adventurous, you can force an update to 8107 too

You know I see this phone such a fine piece of hardware and when I read about problems people have or get into with this phone... it really disappoints me. I thank god my DVP works perfectly fine since day one. The phone is also updated to the latest and I got tmobile service on it. Everything works fine. I hope I don't ever run into any problems. You guys know whats up in making the custom roms? Man I want to post some info in the other developer thread but I am not allowed yet until I get 10 posts. I am helping currently a reseller on ebay with some DVP he has to fix and probably can provide technical information if needed.
Hello all,
I want to start off by apologizing if this has been answered somewhere else........because if it has....I simply just cannot find it. I have been looking for hours and hours because i know people don't like reposts, but alas I don't know what else to do.
My Dad brought me his HD2 about a year ago complaining that he didn't want windows mobile anymore and he had actually been trying to install android following the instructions here on xda. Well I helped him get it installed using magldr and it has been working great. The other day he dropped his phone about 8 feet and broke the screen. The phone still worked fine, just a nice crack or 2 or 3 in the middle of the screen. He had the phone replaced but now whenever he boots it just gets stuck at go go go!
I have tried task 29, but when it comes to the screen that says current phone version it is blank then the next screen it tries to update but then it fails (see attachment). So i opened the Windows mobile device center to see if it was seeing the phone and sure enough it isn't syncing and i am not sure how to get it to sync. I did read however that I could just take the phone to the bootloader (the screen with the 3 colors), make sure that it said usb at the bottom and task 29 from there, but i got the same result.
I am pretty sure the radio is a 2.15.5* version, although i dont remember for sure because i did this so long ago. I thought it showed the radio on the bootloader screen, but now that i look it does not. It is on SPL-2.08.
Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I am using windows 7, but i do have windows xp mode. I installed activesync in the VM but it still cannot see my phone. I went into the bootloader and connect the cable, it changed to usb so i thought i would try and run the RUU exe and see if i would have any luck, but i am getting the same result. I am guessing the phone has to be recognized by the active sync, am i right? How can i go about getting it to recognize it?
You should try to reflash it with a stock ROM from microSD and see if everything else, but usb port, is OK.
NB It seems your usb port is faulty...
A few weeks ago I purchased an Orange SPV M5000 (HTC Universal) from a company in the UK (I'm South African). It was running perfectly and I was quite happy with the windows mobile 5.0, but I wanted to be able to run Whatsapp on it, so I tried to upgrade it to windows mobile 6.5, but as I was trying to upgrade it using the suggested roms and programs on this website and it's now completely dead. Before it would show "serial" and "version" on the screen, just the back light was off, I managed to fix it when is that mode following advice from your community by merely running the program "nuetty" and reset the device, both hard and soft. It was running perfectly even though I messed it up, but now I can't even get my Windows 7 starter edition to even recognize the phone when I plug it in as a usb. It says "USB device not recognized" and nothing I do can get recognized or even turn the phone on.
I love the phone and I'm a film maker and playwright and I'm supposed to be in contact with a few producers about having my work shot and filmed, but alas since I broke the phone (it seems) I can't get in contact with them, and that's bad news.
Please anyone please I am so desperate, what do I do? It's not a hardware error I'm certain, but here's what happened: I downloaded a few roms I expected would work, but none did. When I would run them my Mobile Device Centre just exits and though my phone is connected. via usb it just can't be picked up by the Device Center. It seems as though I wiped everything from the phone, not just the data, but the OS and everything, I imagine because the screen is completely blank (not even serial written on it) and resetting does nothing. This at least is my theory. I hope I'm wrong.
I am so desperate, please guys help me! There's no place I can take my phone to to repair it where I live, so I need your professional, and kind help. Please save me guys!

Hi I'm relatively new to flashing etc etc and have just managed to resurrect one of my HP6915 which locked after an attempted WM6 upgrade.
I used "Uni_Exitbootloader" perhaps this will bring yours back to life, also try another OS perhaps XP as w7/Vista are a little fussy about port release/control i believe.
Also which rom/s have you attempted to flash ? i have an SPV 5000 lying about some where if i can find it ill attempt one of your upgrades.
Good Luck
