Noob needs help - Hero, G2 Touch General

Currently I'm running Villian5.5 rom and am having trouble with my GPS....sometimes it locks after a minute or two and other times it never locks. Before Villian5.5 I was running Modaco 3.2 and my GPS never worked! I originally began with RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river and then flashed to Modaco and then Villian. I've heard many people say that the radio needs to be flashed and the GPS will properly work again. My current radio is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18, please advise me on how to proceed with upgrading my radio or reflashing it.
Do I need to unroot and reflash RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river and then update the radio or is there a different procedure?
Thanks

No no,... Its not hard at all,...
Download latest radio from HTC Hero Radio ROM Links.
Put directly onto SD card (not in any folder).
Turn off phone.
Hold down HOME button, and then hold down POWER button. Keep both buttons held down until phone boot up into recovery menu with options list.
Select APPLY UPDATE ZIP.
Select correct file.
Press HOME to apply update.
THEN LEAVE YOUR PHONE ALONE UNTILL IT REBOOTS AND BRINGS UP THE LOCKSCREEN PULL DOWN TO UNLOCK. THE PHONE MAY REBOOT A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT BRINGS UP THIS LOCKSCREEN AGAIN, DO NOT PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY THINKING IT HAS FROZEN, THIS WILL DAMAGE YOUR HANDSET.

Possible that olipro 2.40 caused usb sync issues?

Ever since flashing my sprint mogul with the 2.40 bootloader, radio 3.27, and dcd 2.2.6 I've been having problems accessing activesync & the usb connection in the bootloader. Ive tried toggling the advanced connections thing under the settings tab, but that hasnt helped. I feel its caused by either olipro or my usb port somehow hosed right after flashing. It seems to be that the port died, but it just seems so suspicious right after flashing. I have tried 4 computers and each have problems recognizing the usb device. It detects, but cannot assign drivers to it and ends up calling it an unknown device.
Also, do you guys have any issues when hitting the reset button? More often than not, when i reset my mogul will enter the tricolor bootloader screen eventhough i did not touch the power+camera button. I also havent found a reliable way to exit the bootloader other than hitting the reset button until it randomly resets back into loading my dcd firmware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's unnerving nott being able to use activesync or even flash my bootloader back into stock. please help!
I still havent had the activesync issues fixed enenthough i read the thread about using the cab that changes your mobile from using generic rnds to usb serial mode. I would rather know how to stop the erratic olipro behavior. If i hit the reset button on my phone right now, it will likely reset into the bootloader. I dont need to hold the pwr and camera buttons. To get out, it seems i need to have a power cable plugged in and then keep hitting reset until it randomly deceides to boot into the dcd firmware. Ive never seen such bizarre behavior that i can reproduce so cosistently. Any ideas? Please help me, its getting very frustrating. :-(

This is a youtube video showing what I am experiencing.
I am running olipro 2.40
radio 3.27.00
dcd 2.2.6 which is based off the leacked 3.16 firmware
Basically its a video of me entering the bootloader when i hit the reset button and then me trying to exit the bootloader by hitting the reset button until my mogul randomly restarts into the dcd firmware.
Also, this might belong under the titan upgrading section. If so, could a mod move this thread please?
I've had similar problems but they started when I did the upgrade to the leaked 6.0 + GPS ROM from HTC. Later I installed Olipro and it didn't change anything
i had something close to this.But mine also had charging issue.Turns out the 6800 inherited the same usb issues as the 6700.My pins weren't making contact always.I actually had my unit replaced cause of this.I thought it was a wm6.1 issue as well.but it wasn't.
@ aph
I did install the leaked stock 6.1 right before, but i didnt have issues until dcd 2.2.4. i upgraded to 2.2.6 through the sd card. maybe if we flash back to the non-leaked firmware and upgrade again? Maybe the leaked firmware overwrote someinfo that the latest firmwares dont touch upon?
would you guys mind helping me downgrade my mogul back to stock? just a set of guidelines would be nice. i dont wannt to accidentily flash something in the wrong order and hose my install.

Don't listen to previous posts
The Previous posts on how to fix this porblem are not correct. If your shadow gets a white screen, or will not boot windows fully, you will have to either reset the OS to defaults, or reinstal OS completely.
The First option is to Reset the OS to default this can be done by following these steps:
1. turn off the phone
2. Press and hold the two soft keys that are right below the LCD screen. (These are the keys above the Home Key and the Back key)
3. While holding these keys, press and release the the power button, this should turn on your phone, if not try again. (do not keep holding power key, but continue to press the soft keys)
4. A screen will then appear asking you if you want to reset your phone, press the Send key (The Key with the Phone on it)
5. The OS will then begin to reset. If this does not work, follow next option.
The Second and only other option is to perform a rom flash. You will need the original tmobile shadow rom. I've tried with several hacked roms, and they never finish while doing this. Download original rom from here:
http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/Downgrading_to_WM6.0/_Neo_on_the_Shadow_2007
Now you are ready to fix you problem.
1. Turn off you phone
2. Press and hold the Camera Button on the side of the phone. (press no other button with it)
3. Now press and release the power button (phone should now turn on, if it does not, try again. Do not release the phone button)
4. After phone turns on, it will then show you a Colored bar screen, this is knows as the Boot Loader screen. It has a similar purpose as the Boot Loader and Boot Select screen that is seen on PC computers.
5. Place phone down in secure location, and connect to your computer. (drivers may install after connection, let them install before moving on)
6. Open the Shadow Rom update utility that you downloaded before and follow prompts.
7. Once update completes you are now ready to use your Shadow Again. If you want a different Rom, go ahead and download and follow instructions for installing that rom.
Things to avoid this in the future:
1. ensure you are updating rom with phone on a secure surface, ensure it will not fall and disconnect from Computer during update.
2. ensure battery is full
3. use roms tested and validated by other users. Read reviews of problems and known issues.
4. Use tested, validated, and/or signed apps. (ensure apps are meant for smartphones with QVGA and windows mobile standard. Generally this is not a problem, but better safe than sorry)
So that is a step by step guide on how to fix your problem. good luck
Will this also help me?
Zephnath,
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to my phone, but I upgraded to WM 6.1 a while ago. If I follow your steps to re-load the original rom will it also go back to WM 6.0? If not, do you know how I can change my phone back to WM 6.0?

Sorry to keep you waiting, but if you follow the steps above and you use the rom downloaded from this link http://www.sendspace.com/file/thvf9u you will have your phone set back to the original rom issued by t-mobile.
If you installed, or tried to install a rom not from tmobile, you will have to follow the second step I provided.
If you have not attempted, or do not have a rom that is not from t-mobile, then follow step one.
If you are not sure, follow step two, by first downloading the file I posted a link to above
Edit: Following these steps will put you back to Windows Mobile 6.0
So you're saying that the SPL from the OEM rom will overwrite the SPL from the Vox? I always thought that flashing a SPL from the wrong phone would brick it for sure with no takebacks.

What I am saying, is that following these steps will get you out of the whole with the white screen of doom, if you follow them. I've done this on not only one shadow but on two, several times. When going back to original rom, it works just like it did out of box. (Slow and clumsy) But at least you have your phone back, and with MyFaves again.
When you go back to the original rom, provided via the download link from previous post, the phone is as it was when you first got it. (Including the SPL, so if you want to flash a different rom on the phone you have to unlock it all over again.)
People have done this many of times. Often people have hardware problems and need to send the phone back for warranty fixes, but waite, they flashed their rom to 6.1. That voids their warrenty. So what do they do now? I know, they flash it back to 6.0 using the official update (the link I included) that t-mobile provided. They send their phone back to manufacture and get their replacement as if their old phone never saw a different rom.

System not booting!

I installed Ezinput 2.1 onto my phone (Omnia 2) and not realizing it says "Doesn't work with ROM's that don't have Rhodium or Leo Packages" and that if you installed it onto a ROM without it, it would cause a non boot-able system (I'm such a idiot :|). So yer my system doesn't boot, it loads the Samsung logo and then the screen goes blank.
I was thinking of flashing it but I read that you need to have the Active sync activated on your phone (which I don't)
What do I need to do? Please help me D:
Try with a hard reset. This erases all the data on the phone.
How to to that?
1. turn the phone OFF
2. press Volume Up and Lock button at the same time - do not release!
3. press Call and then HangUp - do not release!
Phone will vibrate and turn on. Only now you can release all the buttons.
You will have a choice to format (press Call) the phone.
But then what would I do. The phone would be blank wouldn't it? and have no Windows on it?
I would suggest getting Octans from modaco and downloading either a copy of the factory ROM or the custom ROM of your choice and try flashing the phone.
I did the Hard reset and now my phone is up and running. I can't thank you enough monsterfly, really thanks

[Solved] Phone cannot flash anything, cannot hard reset!

Sorry for the long description but I think it is better to explain the whole story:
A few days ago I decided to HSPL my HD2 and installed Miri rom. All is working well until today when I need to hard reset the phone. Pressing the two volume keys just did not hard reset it, it just go straight to boot up as normal. The only way to hard reset is to use the Clear Storage.
I thought something has gone wrong so decided to go back to stock rom. So I put the stock Telstra Rom onto the SD card and renaming it to "leoimg.nbh". Then press down volume key and power. It started to show "Loading" but then went back to the boot loader screen. I tried many times and it didn't work. Eventually it worked and succesfully restored to stock rom with SPL 1.42.0000.
I tried the hard reset using volume keys and it is still not working. I then tried to use active sync to install the original stock rom from computer but that failed. (I noticed it did not recognize the version installed on the phone).
I then tried HardSPL again and although it says successful, the boot loader version keeps saying 1.42.0000.
Now I am stuck with the stock rom and cannot flash anything onto it, including stock rom. I suspect this is a hardware problem? Anyone has any suggestion.
I think you messed up with the SD card. I'll say it loud: DON'T EVER AGAIN FLASH FROM THE SD CARD. Now, you may try the HSPL 2, according to the base of your stock rom. For further information, go there. And don't forget: don't ever again... you already know.
Problem is HSPL2 does not work with Telstra phone...
Ok. It was my error. I tried to flash the HD rom instead of the HD2 rom!
Luckily nothing is broken! I now successfully restored to stock rom with SPL1.42 and is able to install HSPL. I can now start flashing Yeepee!!
However, There is still the problem with the hard reset where I can't do it with the volume keys????

Well.. If the device is up and running there is an "Wipe device" Option under "settings" --> "All settings". It is pretty much the same
I knew there is a "Clear Storage" option but I am just concern that it is a hardware problem. I have tried both stock and custom ROMS, with and without HSPL and it is still not working??

i find it is dificult to press both vol up and down with the back cover on. Try it with cover off, there is more give in the buttons. Plus be sure and press the right spot, you can sort of feel the button going down. Do them individually, dont just put both fingers on and press (well, till you get better at it )

You're absolutely right! I tried as you suggested and it worked. I guess the buttons were never properly pressed before. Many thanks. Good to know my phone is still "normal".
Got to love xda!

[Q] Found a Wildfire, can't hard reset

Forgive me for probably relatively simple questions, but my last involvement on here was the development of WM5 for the HTC Blue Angel! So quite some years ago...
I've found a wildfire in the local park a fortnight or so ago. I tried to make an attempt to find its owner, but the device is locked out (asking for email/password) and there is no SD card or SIM card in it (Guessing someone "obtained" it one way or another, couldn't get into it and threw it away). Anyway, long story short - Police aren't interested, Virgin say the phones likely already been disabled and there's nothing they can do with it - so thats left me with it.
Now when I power it up, it goes straight to a screen that has FASTBOOT highlighted in red. This menu key info shows:
S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0002
RADIO-3.35.20.10
Dec 27 2010, 17:49:10
The power button and volume down buttons don't respond. Tried to do a hard reset, but the buttons don't respond on the other screen either.
Tried to flash with a WWE RUU. It would fail due to Customer ID error but the phone would subsequently boot to the locked screen again. Managed to create a Goldcard (using my Blue Angel none-the-less!) and now RUUs fail due to a bootloader error I think it is.
When running RUU, the version the device is running is: 2.39.775.1
The highest RUU i've found is: RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed
It seems a shame to just throw the phone in the bin, but I'm now at a loss what to do.
I've guessed the phones on Virgin, as putting that sim card in when the phone is on the lock screen rather than the white one it shows a different message to any other sim card. I can't find a Virgin RUU though if that would help.
HBoot seems to be the newest one, it is not possible to use Unrevoked to unlock the bootloader, so you either wait till Unrevoked releases a new version with a new exploit, or you find someone with a XTC-clip to S-off your HBoot. (or you buy it yourself)
I thought as much.
Is there no way to be able to get the hard reset to work - just to get the device remotely usable?
First take out SIM and memorycard,
1.Switch off phone by removing battery and put battery back in
2.hold the volume down button and press the power on button briefly, with the volume down button held
3.you will now get a screen approx 10 seconds later and with a few options, go to hard reset/factory reset
4.follow options through, this will reset phone to factory settings.
Post if it works or not
h4oxer: I could get to that menu, but there was no response from the buttons. I couldn't change the menu option highlighted, nor did the power button execute what was already highlighted.
By placing a PC49IMG and a rom on the memory card and then booting to that menu, it enabled those options to be selected. I couldn't flash the rom, but I have now managed to perform a hard reset. Now it boots up ok, but when I go to power off, the next time I power on it's going back to the fastboot (highlighted red) screen. I'm running any RUU update to kick it out of fastboot back into the actual OS.
