Arrgh gone and knackered it.. - HD2 General

Help please guys.. for some unknown reason i decided to go and install an app from windows freeware - swype.
Installed - do the reset it asks..
Phone asks for my pin code and would you believe it.. it doesn't recognise the pin screen..
What can i do?
I'm a T-Mobile UK customer running a 1.66 WWE rom with a couple of tweaks and skyfire web browser..
Any help appriciated
Dan

Looks like i've fixed it..
Hard reset (buttons) and roll back to the T-mobile 143 rom official..

The phone forgetting the PIN is a known, and serious, bug that happens after a while if you set a code to lock the phone. Hard reset is the only way to solve it, as there is no "correct" PIN anymore and you will stay locked out of the device.

it happens with swype 3.9 on roms that aren't based on the tmo 2. rom.

Appriciated.
I was just coming in now to update this to say that the 1.66 rom with Swype is not a good move.
All help appriciated guys.

this one is nice, and its safe.

Update, Samsamuel beat me to it, but I'll leave my post as it was praising his good work anyway.
We discussed issues with Swype versions in another thread and Samsamuel kindly published a working version that happily does its thing on 1.66 (well it works for me). Here's a link to the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652937&highlight=swype
I refer to the issue in post 4 and Samsamuel posts a working version in post 5.
Hope this helps.

i should probably rename that cab, lol. Its v2 from the omnia, i believe, not sure where i got it, so credit where credit is due.

wizard and chinese input softwares help!

Hello all,
I'm having some problems with the CE-Star suite.. After 2 resets, the chinese text would just become SQUARES and it could only be restored by reinstalling the CE-suite program. Anyone encountered this problem before and can it be resolved? i just installed it and has yet to get it registered, is this the cause?
Previously i installed maction monster chinese and after not being able to use any input or whatsoever of that program, I tried uninstalling it but its always there! how do i get rid of it?! when i run remove programs and clicked on it, it asks me to reset my unit to completely remove it but everytime i resets it its still there! HELP!!
tried using ActiveSync to remove it but still can't!
another problem with my activesync, everytime i sync and when it reaches to sync files, it would tell me that there is a unresolved item. i checked and delete the unresolved file to see if i can bypass it but it seems that every file is unresolved?!
it recomends to restart the computer and phone then sync again and i've been having this problem even after umpteenthed reboots..
any help would be appreciated!
cheers!
Joel
Which version are you using?
I got CE-Star v2.8 Beta 4 installed on my Wizard and it works fine. Chinese characters are properly displayed, some programmes like TMCP are displayed in Chinese now (which I was hoping it wouldn't btw lol) and input with PinYin works as well as drawing with your Stylus on the Touchscreen. Earlier versions of 2.8 didn't work, so give beta4 a try if you haven't yet.
i didn't buy a cestar ver 2.8 beta4. and just use a trial one. but when i wanna change the cestar back to keyboard mode. it was out of order. i don't think it's trail ver problem, it should be a bug. so i will not buy it before the final ver release.
if anyone can support a chinese rom or other way to change eng ver into chi ver, it should be the best news.
Well which Trial version are you using?
btw, it seems that v2.8R1 has been released and it seems to be more stable then the beta4. I haven't give it a try yet, will have to mail the developers about it I guess....
i'm using version 2.8 which is meant for WM5..
the problem is when u soft reset a couple of times then the chinese characters would display as squares.. kinda annoying as it can only be restored with a reinstall..
what about the monster chinese 5 problem? anyone encountered such a problem before? i can't uninstall it as it will ask me to reset the phone to fully uninstall but i have done it dozens of times and its still there, can't get rid of it.
by the way, i unlocked the extended rom and was wondering which of the files are safe to delete? anyone knows? i'm having the MDA vario by t mobile.. i can see that there are heaps of t mobile crap in there but not sure which are crap and which are essential..
There are several releases of v2.8
As I posted earlier, earlier beta releases didn't work, but beta4 did.
And it seems that R1 works fine. So What about give that info about which version you're exactly using? If you recently downloaded it, it should be R1, you might want to give beta4 a try
I have CE-Star running for some time now and had 20+ soft-resets and it's still working fine.

trial...since I'm just testing it right now for viewing Chinese characters and it seemed unstable at first.

i've tested beta4 beta3 and r1 as well, but as the results are b3 can't let me input anything except english, b4 can input once but after changing input mode it's dead. r1(from offical website) is same as b4. now i met one more problem is after i uninstall b4 and soft reset machine, the sms function lost. i can only hard reset machine. faint...... so the chinese rom looks like very important
Just wonder know, why not Maction Monster Chinese ? The v5.1 released and it work great with my kjam.

That's rather strange indeed. I Don't have this problem with beta4.
Although it is slow with switching to CE-Star keyboard :s
As for a Chinese ROM, maybe you should try and look up for the Dopod ROMS, Dopod 838.
I came across problems on Monster Chinese v5.1. I tried to add a speed dial and then in the middle of my input it just suddenly disappeared.
I am using O2 ROM on Dopod 838.
(By the way, Dopod ROM sucks, dont even try it... I tried O2 ROM and then I never want to use the original again)
i installed CE-suit, but how do you activate the input?
it said hotkey is CTRL and Shift, but i don't have CTRL. i tried the dot key, but still won't let me change the input.
So what is the latest stable CEstar for wm6? So many versions going around....and keygen doesnt work....arh....someone pls...

Noobie needs Serious Help: Problems with O2 Mini S Software

Hey everyone...I'm a total newbie when it comes to PPC phones...so please bare with me..
anyways..I recently bought an O2 Mini S...and I seem to be having some small problems with it..
when you press the "send" button, it should bring you automatically to the phone keypad...however this doenst seem to work all the time (or much at all...) I have to soft reset the machine to actually get it to start working...and then after 10 minutes or so...it doenst work again until i reset again...NONE of the "phone" functions work either when this happens...i cant go to the call history or get to any of those functions...even if I pull up the "programs" screen...and click on the "phone" icon, it still doesnt work...I have no idea how to fix it..
One solution i figured MIGHT work is to reflash the unit...cuz maybe its a software glitch...however I have absolutely NO clue how to reflash this unit...I've been reading around the site for the past 4 hours trying to learn some of this stuff...but as I am retarded when it comes to computers, I am quite confused...
and what would be the best ROM to upgrade/reflash it with??
Also, I find the machine to be extremely laggy...I dont know if its just mine...and if its the some other software problems..but its very laggy..
And a third thing...I dont know aout other branded HTC Wizards...but for the O2 Mini S, I have this Icon menu going down the left side of the screen...does anyone know how to get rid of it?
If anyone can PLEASE give me a hand...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
It sounds like theres summat wrong with the ROM, also i think you might be running an old ROM too.
I'd suggest downloading the new ROM from www.my-xda.com and flash it with that, it works great on mine.
If your not running an older ROM then do a hard-reset and re-install, but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install.
P.S. hard reset by pressing the Voice record button + Comms manager button then tap the reset, but keep hold of the other 2 buttons untill you see the message on screen.
Hey thanks for the quick reply..
Just checked teh ROM version...some oldschool stuff compared to what you have listed
ROM Version 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11-8-05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol Version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM Version: 1.5.4.102
I'm guessing this is a lot older than the new stuff...
Anywyas..I tried to dowlonad the newest software updates off the O2 site but its not allowing me cuz i cant provide a proper phone number...ive tried guessing some phone numbers but no dice...any help there?
Also, would it be necessary to reflash the entire device to get rid of possible bugs in the OS? or would a simple software upgrade such as downloading off teh O2 site work?
Danny, how do you find the O2 software? have you tried other ROM's such as those for the Qtek 9100 or Imate K-jam??
Any help on downloading the appropriate files and maybe a link or details about how to actually update the machine would be great.
Thanks in advance again
Oh btw...what do you mean by "
but reset before the O2 custom install stuff gets the chance to install. "?
FIGURED IT OUT!!
shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!
LOVE YOU DANNY B!!
lol
jk
but yeah...i got a UK number from my buddy whos from the UK...downloaded the stuff..updated it...and the thing works flawlessly now...oh man...and it seems to be running a lot faster...much less lag...

Thank you!!!
My phone crash and can boot to Windows
I try this update this version and it cause my phone to crash and now it can't boot to Windows (only to booter !!).
I try to use previse ROM I use to update (depod ROM) and it fail on 2% although I already did that once (I update from CHN to WWE).
Does this utility erase and lock the phone ??
Anybody know who to recover from that crash ?
Thanks.
OK,
I use "ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe" and my phone came to live.
I did the upgrade
I also had the lockup like L.A , but reverted to the dopod rom and run the program a second time. And now I am running the customised ROM
Will evaluate and feed back. Maybe a bit late because I would be on the road a bit
Are you guys using a dopod mobile phone, or another brand? (Original htc, orbit, etc.).

Mine is originally HTC P3300.
I confirm that the lite edition also works on my phone. I may stick with it because I want the freedom to choose my applications without cluttering my memory. The lite also have audio booster, graphic equaliser, and voice recorder, and media hub.
In addition to these, the customised one has Notem, GSFinder, Sprite backup, reset, BatteryStatus, Card export, and soft key aplet, opera browser, TCPMP, registry editor, etc.
I must be off now.
I understand, you been through the imei-check unlock process, Correct?? Thank you for your reply.

Yes, some time back
i can also confirm that this only works if you have a clean device, ie. you have to HARD RESET the device BEFORE you update with these roms (both lite & customized). (you also have to hard reset after the update)
ps. the also seem to have a third rom on their website, has anybody tried this?
p.p.s it seems that this rom does not allow you to go below the year or 2143 when you try to set the date and time, can somebody please try this on their device to see if they have the same problem.

The third ROM comes with some map software but I did not d/l it because I wanted a lean base.
You can set the date to "normal"by going to start>settings>system>regional settings and change from Thai to English (US)
The Dopod ringtones are also posted as a cab file at the same site.
Admins: Since this is not "ship ROM" where does it fit? Will upload later if there is clarification. The PDA Mobiz site is painfully sloooww
Lite and Modified versions on ftp now
I have put them there now.
Tips: The hard reset procedure will not show a "lighted screen" , so hold the buttons a bit longer (i did it for 20-30 seconds ) before releasing them.
When phone is resetting and tells you ".....The cold boot did not complte ......."and you need to press yes, do not be in a hurry Just take some 20 seconds before clicking on the soft button.
If you get stuck, reflash the shipped rom and try again after the initial settings. (tip above was to hard reset before starting)
Good luck

1.19 Orange Rom files?

Hiya guys,
Have been reading up about flashing my touch HD for the last week now, and am pretty ready to flash my Orange HTC. I will most likely go down the USPL method.. but my question is trying to find a 1.19.61.1 WWE Orange original Rom in case I need to go back?
In the wiki it has a rar file for it, but it does not seem to llok official or tested? Does anyone know how I can either back mine up? and possibly post it here? or is anyone in the process of getting a RUU file for Orange 1.19 soon?
Thanks
that file on the wiki is the signed nbh file
it has to be used with the custumRUU thing
ive not tested so i cant tell you for sure
This would be useful for me as well as thinking about flashing mine
I'd find it useful too, although I've always flashed new ROMs even if I didn't have a way back to a stock ROM
did a search again today and it seems like people did try the one in the wiki.. so am gonna try flashing today!

Have you tried Rabdo's Orangeworld fix ????? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316763
Same problem here, flashed from orange 1.19 to Davideuk V-2 Topaz and am now denied access to orangeworld. Tried the 1.5 settings and fix from Rabdo linked to above but made no difference. In HD Tweak there is a section to select stock HD id, Orange HD id or another (I forget which). This didn't work either
ended up calling them up and getting all the settings. told them to addd touchHD settings to the web though so hopefully they will do this. If i get a mo, will write settings down here.. thanks for finding the rabdo cab, will try it next time I flash!
pratishk: are you now using a non-stock rom and able to visit orangeworld? If so please post the settings
::edit:: gah it was me being an idiot all along! www.orangeworld.co.uk doesn't work, cos the address is http://orangeworld.co.uk sorry for wasting anyone/everyones time

HELP - Vodafone UK user, ROM issues? *noob*

I recently bought my HTC HD2 from Vodafone UK, it has a ROM 1.43.405.1 and I cannot update the ROM from HTC website because after insert my SN in the validation box it tells me I cannot get the update....
What should I do?
I saw many ROMs on 4shared but I think they not the same in the HTC site...If they are which one of the should I get for my HTC and why? Will I be able to use my phone with my UK Sim?
Help please...
Windows on your ROM is licensed software, and you bought the license implicitly with your Leo, therefore is it "not possible" to just change ROM.
Having said that , google the forum a bit for SSPL and/or HSPL. there are several (graphical) guides that will tell you how to use them (sticky threads).
good luck!
anyone? someone? help me!

No, doing a hard reset will only ever restore it to the rom you last flashed.
To get back to 'as you bought it' you need to find the rom that matches your device.
(for example in your case, voda UK, you find this rom
RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe
)
If you then need to get back to stock, and remove HSPL, you can do it with that rom. (not quite as simple as just flashing it, , see the HSPL thread for how to remove HSPL)

Like I mentioned I am a noob lol....I got here just by trying to understand why couldnt I update my ROM.
One more question, each ROM completely cleans the before it, right? The features do not stuck up (add on)?
I would advise AGAINST blindly leeching any ROM from any online file sharer.
check this forum, read a bit, and select a ROM from a chef that has cooked something you like (speed, looks like stock, removed HTC, removed bloatware, etc etc). I've tried many, and almost all on this forum are excellent (some are more excellent than others though)..
Flashing a ROM completely cleans ALL settings on your phone, all data is gone, besides whatever is on your SD card.
same if you select Settings/Wipe Device option from the start menu.

Be aware that whilst flashing wipes all your old data/settings and such like, it doesn't necessarily wipe the old rom before flashing the new one, just flashes over it.
Roms can be different file sizes, (just compare a few RUU_Signed.nbh file sizes) so sometimes files can be left over from the previous rom. If you start getting random resets and freezes when you didnt before, it could be a sign of a bloated rom. Have a read of the mtty sticky. It looks a little overwhelming at first read, but dead simple really, and basically formats your rom before you flash the new rom.
my 2 pence here...
get the official WWE 1.66 ROM and see if that helps the phone, the 1.43 VF ROM is crap and both 1.48 and 1.66 are miles better so first thing is to give these a go. If, after successfully installing it, you wanna try something else then do so...
and read the n00b thread at the top of this forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
it tells you what to do, with videos if needed...
Hi, I have the same vf handset and was sick of the crappy ROM, I upgraded yesterday after weeks of research and was surprised how easy it was.
However, having had a day to test out my new 1.66 ROM, I have unfortunately found some problems and part of me think maybe I should have waited a little longer for vf to release it officially.
I'm hoping you guys will be able to help again as it may just need different tweaks to the settings...
1. The first problem is that Opera is slightly different, the settings tab has changed, it no longer allows zooming (including pinch zooming) and the pages are not displayed as full width. I have played with all the setting I can in Opera and BsB Tweaks but no joy.
2. I can no longer access TV catchup through Skyfire. The advertisement plays as normal and then it says "non-UK, unauthorised". Is this because it is a WWE ROM and not a UK one? Why isn't there a specific UK ROM like there was for 1.48?
3. Although the alarm volume bug seems to have been fixed, the alarm popup doesn't come up any more when it goes off, making it very difficult to "snooze" or "dismiss".
4. Several error messages have come up relating to the actual phone app, messaging app and audiomanager. The phone has also crashed and gone slow a bit and overall the messaging app is a little more buggy despite it appearing to send all messages.
Any advice would be much appreciated as this does seem as though it could be a much better ROM with some great benefits.
1.48 was also a WWE ROM - there hasn't been a set UK one other than ISP-based ones

Fair enough. I was just going by what it was implying on the HTC support page. 1.48 specifically says UK whereas 1.66 simply says WWE and makes no mention of UK.
Does anyone have any advice on the issues I'm having?
Also, if I wanted to revert back to the vf 1.43 ROM using the SD card to remove HSPL, how do I know the file I've downloaded from the shared folders is exactly the same as I had before? I read that it is more risky flashing without HSPL as you have less chance of fixing it if something goes wrong, does this also go for the method of reverting back using the SD card as it is removing the HSPL?
