strange, my flash worked with the original ROM

I had the same problem, flash icon disapeared after rom upgrade. It was the newest Dopod rom. Nothing I did would fix it, so I figured I could live with out it. Well when I upgraded to the So. African rom it came back. I guess it gets missed sometimes in the rom pack. I even ran the Dopod rom again to see if it was just missing from the rom, but it worked that time. Switched back to So. african rom again and flash is there no propblem.

I haven't found a compelling reason (in my case) to leave the stock ROM yet...I'm still running the original one (2.10), haven't even upgraded to the new one Tmo just released.

Here it is again folks! Htc hd official upgrade

I am not sure what is up them but here is the official release again.
Get it while it is hot!

Did you try this? better than the original one they put out? I'm wondering why it's the same version number. Seems like a good way to confuse people.

Supposedly there were issues with downloading the originial release, so they had to correct that. But, the version they put up is the same one as before.
I've got all 3 "versions" of the new ROM now (leaked, first official issue, and this new one now too) and they're all the same.
Confusing? Yes. Big deal? Not really

so basically this isn't going to fix any issues? you downloaded it and it's the same everything? Why would they bother?

Well yes it's the same as the first release of the 2.13 ROM if that's what you mean. I think they just put it back up because there's people who didn't get it before they had to pull it temporarily for the downloading issues. I assume it'll stay available there from now on.

I used the First release and still have it on my computer at home. I downloaded the leaked version and it was a godsend. I hear when they made it official on the 18th it caused people a lot of problem even bricking. according to the link they where having server issues and that is why they had to pull the official release but I guessed they fixed the issues now. It is the same ROM version as the one I have so your guess is as good as mine. I think sirphunkee has them all downloaded but has not implemented them and is still running 2.10xxx

Correct, and I should have made that clear...still on 2.10, haven't flashed any of the upgrade downloads.
Somewhere in one of the threads in this section about the upgrade, the leaked version and the first "official" releases were compared and found to match bit-for-bit. Also, T-Mobile forums had confirmation that the recent re-release is identical to the one they put up before the download issues. So, by the commutative property of Windows Mobile Mathematics (WMM), they're all the same
However, that's not to say that the end experience from those who have flashed any of the three doesn't vary greatly. Some report a near-magical cleansing of demons, others are suddenly needing an exorcism...and this is across all three "releases" of this ROM.

I forget where I read...but a lot of people where having issue when the flashed to a custom rom then flashed to the upgraded tmobile rom with out returning their phones back to stock. I guess that was a major issue. Or people had to factory reset then run the upgrade I didn't do either of those things when I flashed and it worked great. I mean I didnt have CHT or Editor on but I did have a bunch of apps.

I bought my HD2 last week and the rom it came with from the factory is 2.13.531.1. I have had the phone freeze on me 2 or 3 times in the week I have owned it. Even though the rom that was just released is the same version would it still be a good idea to flash it? I am coming from a G1 and on occasion have flashed a rom and the phone ran like crap. Then upon re flashing the same exact rom the phone ran like normal.

I upgraded last evening, despite my initial trepidation.
Everything seems smooth now--a lot of the hiccups when texting seem to be gone (out of order texts, highlighting of last text sent and lag when trying to write a text that is part of a longer thread).
Swype is working a 100x better.
So far, so good.

That happens with winmo as well as android....after flashing a ROM, sometimes either a re-flash, or an immediate hard-reset is needed to get it to "stick". In fact, most chefs recommend doing a hard-reset right after a new flash, just to be safe, and I've seen numberous times where a buggy install is fixed perfectly just by doing that. So, if you're fine with the effort involved, I would certainly suggest it...it certainly can't hurt

Cool. Thanks for the info sirphunkee.

Software Upgrade or ROM
I downloaded the update from T-Mobile and have it running on my HD2. Was this an update to my ROM, so a hard reset will reload this update? I talked with a T-Mobile rep on the phone who said a hard reset would remove the update and I would have to re-install it.

Good thing you asked here to be sure
No, a hard-reset will only "reload" whatever the currently flashed ROM is...whether it's an official update or a custom ROM.

[Q] ROMS LAGFIX etc.

I have a few questions.
I understand there are official updates for our phones 2.1->2.2 but they are operator based. So there are customized roms, that are with custom stuff.
I'm really intereseted in upgrading from 2.1 official rom to a custom, but dont know exactly which one to choose.
I once flashed a 2.2 but it bricked my phone, so i had it repaired (the phone didnt respond to any key combinations or anything at all).
So is there any point to upgrade if there isnt any stable roms.
And also why is everyone waiting for the official update from samsung when there are already 2.2 roms for 5800.
Lagfix seems like a thing to try out, but i want to be sure which rom is the best and so that the basic stuff works.

Don't know about others, but my reason for not upgrading to unofficial/custom ROMs is that I don't want to risk my phone (even if that risk may be small..)..I also don't have time to backup data, reset phone, re-install app.s, do settings again etc. which might be needed in the flashing process.
Besides, from what I read in this forum, none of the ROMs seems to be satisfactory enough & ready for prime time. But frankly, I am losing my patience fast & may soon go for a custom ROM if official upgrade doesn't arrive by end of this month..damn Samsung for taking sooo long..

Thanks for your reply, that's what i wanted to know. I was thinking the same thing that probably the custom roms arent stable enough and that the official update still aint available.

Why don't you use a stock 2.2 ROM like the JPF?

is it safe and works fine just like the default 2.1 that we have in our phones?

Sure ^^ and you cant brick your phone if you dont flash your bootloader^^ jpf also works faster^^ i would recommend to flash a custom rom. Like lestatious one. Everything works well on it^^ have fun

just dont flash the bootloader and you can always reenter download mode.
backing up isn't that big of an issue, titanium backup backs up pretty much everything.

If you're planning on using titanium, just be aware that you should only restore non android apps when switching from eclair to froyo..i tried this and kept getting fc's. Just make backups of stuff in the individual apps like contacts etc, then restore them after you upgrade to froyo. Then make a full titanium backup of everything once you have your phone the way you want it. From then on you can just test any rom you like and always have a quick easy way of getting your stuff back. I recommend using astro to backup titanium so you can have a version to hand after flashing.
P.S. I use jfp ultra clean and it rocks my socks

Ok, i might try out the stock 2.2 rom... But what about lagfixes or are they even neccessary on 2.2?
Cause my current 2.1 stock rom is really laggy, i remove tasks to clean up memory but it's still kinda slow.

Well if you're flashing a stock rom I would definately suggest JPF because it's pretty stable. You don't necessarily need the lagfix though..I personally found it made things a bit strange with random hangs when closing applications. Oh yeah and don't forget to use the modded 3d gallery from SGS Tools (I use the "last" version). You should be able to install it via the "Upgrade stock apps" option. You can also use it to change your GPS pool to Europe if needed.

So the jpf rom isnt europe or just needs some configs like that? But is the stock rom the best option, i don't neccessarily need all those extra stuff like samsung apps and layar etc. Pauri mentioned lestatious rom, its on JPA, for example. Is each one one of those stock roms like an update with still some bugs on them or just converted from other phone updates?
I'm between that custom rom and the JPF stock right now..

Oh it's a european rom, it's just that the default gps pool is set to north america. I installed The modded 3d gallery as a work around for the battery drain bug that the stock gallery has in froyo. Jpf clean is what I'm using till theres a more stable lestat rom because I tried jp9, which was good, but the bloatware...oh my..

i guess i'll take your word for it and try out the JPF

i flashed the JPF and so far so good. It's atleast twice as fast as the stock 2.1 i had. Thanks you all for help

one more question, how do i root froyo 2.2 ?
i tried the one click method, after the command running it said everything is fine you're rooted. In recovery mode i tried to install update.zip but it didnt work.
havent see any alternatives for 2.2
can anyone help?

SGS resetting and crashing under 2.3.6

Hi All
Im on Viirgin UK and using a shop unlocked SGS v2.3. 6 XXJVUstock, no mods or 3rd party add ons (Dec 2011). Since updating 4 weeks ago, my sgs has crashed occasionally, locked up, crashed on the Photo Editor and even on openning the camera itself, also, its reset after ending a phone call, so I uninstalled Fancy Widgets MIUI weather and clock and End Note,and a few apps but where Im finding it still crashing is after using the stock Music player for a few hours. The GS resets and re-boots.
So I downloaded Winamp and its still resetting after a few hours on Winamp as well.
I have re-downloaded, but not yet flashed back to 235 JVT, but I do like the new 236 UI and camera.
Any Advice..
Night

I had exactly the same problems like you.First on the begining it ran ok after a while problems came.I think this is because it's early beta leaked rom but i must say that all roms that i had on my sgs not a single one didn't work like my old swiss watch
So i feel like beta tester for android

Yeah me too.. Im thinking of going back to 235. I do like 236, but its just crashing on everything. Sept 235 seems to just handle anything, but not sure whats happening.
I think the OP for 236 did say it was a leaked rom, Oh well, not to worry.. I did see the ICS thread, looks interesting.. may try that, but Im more of a stability over speed kinda user.
Thanks for the reply ppavlovic.
Cheers

If you want to stay on 2.3.6, flash the JW1 PDA instead.
It is currently the most stable stock ROM released for the SGS.

Thanks Black Rose. Is this the issue.. will that help the Media player crash and the random resets.
My SGS is my main Media, MP3 player, so I like it to be stable... Thanks
Night

I wonder what is the most stable,fast and non battery eater rom of all leakes roms until now?

I've never used the media player that long, so I can't comment on that.
I've never had a crash with the leaked or official versions of JW1 in the almost two months that i've been using it.
I do have an issue with bootloops if I leave wi-fi enabled when I turn the phone off, but I've only seen reports from myself and one other person about this.

Im in UK on Virgin Mobile and The best one IMO ive ever flashed yet is XXJVT 2.3.5 (Sept 2011 Open Europe) with only 1 reset in the 3.5 months I used it. Also, this version comes with Daily Briefing, which is useful for me.
Give it a try, let me know how it goes..
Black Rose, will JW1 function on an Unlocked UK SGS.

There were two official releases of JW1 XEN(unbranded) and KPN (Netherlands).
I am running XEN on a locked Canadian SGS (gt-i9000m).

I've been on jw1 for a couple of months also and have had zero issues. No reboots no, nothing can't remember the last time my phone was off or had a force close.
JW1 + semaphore + DMore rom.
Phone running so good I can't be bothered to switch to ics.

i will give a try to both roms.Currently i installed the latest froyo from may 2011xwjsd because i had problems with exchange email in gb.I use 2 exc. accounts from 2 firms.On one is security that phone must be encrypted but when i choose to do so phone reboots it encrypts itself and falls into boot loop mode.I guess it encrypts the crucial boot files so it cannot start again And this is the issue in all GB roms for me.

Ive only flashed stock roms before from the files from SamFirware, so can I check...
Ive decided to give 236 another go, but before i go ahead, can I just check.. In ODIN 185, I set:
JW1 Xen = PDA / CSC Multi OXAJVU = CSC / ModemXXJVU = Phone. So all im doing is swapping the stock CODE file for JW1 XEN.
As this is a complete upgrade from JVT do i need re-partition + PIT.
Im in UK on an unlocked SGS.
Thanks all
