Just reflashed the image on my phone to the latest Energyrom Sense 2.5
Since doing so, I have problems with Copilot Live 8. It appears to be an issue with the screen overlay as the menu buttons for Copilot are down at the bottom of the screen where this ROM has the start button.
When in Copilot the start button is covered up by the copilot screen and the menu buttons do not work at the bottom.
Any ideas on how to fix?
I am also using Co Pilot live. And while it does consume the full screen, hard buttons work just fine. I am using the Titanium only version, as I use SPB MS as my primary shell.
Have you tried uninstalling and reloading CoPilot?
I think that's by design for Copilot. Opera 10 and Mini 5 also hog up the whole screen. If you need the start menu, and you don't have a device that already has a hard start button, perhaps you can map one of your hard keys to the start menu w/ the Rhodium Keyboard Config floating around these boards.
I'm using Copilot 8 on an Energy's latest 21903 rom, and it works just fine.
I unfortunately cannot do an uninstall as I cannot select the up arrow in the bottom left corner when copilot is running.
I can do a re-install by running the CAB again and it finishes OK.
All other areas of the screen work, but since I cannot select the up arrow bottom in the lower left corner, I cannot change any settings, or modify anything. It's stuck once it comes up.
Ran find in the previous energy ROM I had loaded.
Reflashing to ER 21903 Sense 2.5 and will Re-Install copilot to see what happens.
I'm totally stumped on this one!
I've wiped the device several times with Task 29 and re-flashed with several different builds of 21903 with no luck.
Co-Pilot is on my flash drive and I have deleted the folders, re-copied from my PC and kicked off the CAB files again. Still no luck.
My problems started after putting on 23569 build which puts the start button right across the bottom of the screen where the copilot buttons are located.
I thought task 29 would wipe everything and get me back to start, but it appears that there is something leftover somewhere that is causing this.
Anyone care to give some thoughts?

Weird, I had problems with my tp2 after installing 23569 and loading copilot... put me in a bootloader loop 4 times. Not completely sure that this combo is involved, but the problems started after the maxmanila version of 23569 was flashed. For more details see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691984
let me know how it goes...
You could try this...
1. Hard Reset (with phone off hold down talk and end buttons and press the power button)
2. abort setup
3. start to bootloader
4. flash task 29
5. reflash HardSPL
6. Flash favorite ROM
7. Load Copilot
This sequence is what I finally did to overcome whatever broke mine. Keep in mind that I am still testing the fix AND I am not smart enough to know what I didn't need to do but it's working and I am using copilot without problems.
Hi all
I had the exact same issue.
When choosing the language during the installation the "next" arrow at the bottom of the screen didnt work.
The issue was with a 28xxx rom.
After in installed a 21xxx rom the issue wasnt solved.
Eventualy i reinstalled the original rom from the htc site....still no luck!
I noticed, on my sd-card there was one cab file for installation (copilot_wmsp.cab)
Om my pc there were two cabfiles: copilot_wmsp.cab and copilot_wmppc.cab.
Probable for use on an SmartPhone or PocketPC.
When i copied the files from my pc to my phone and installed copilot_wmsp.cab the issue still wasent solved.
When i installd copilot_wmppc, it worked perfectly. The configuration screen has a little diffrent layout, and that worked.
Now i have the latest energyrom 28xxx with working Copilot!

Ok, had HTC enlarge start menu installed and it worked fine, but figured let me try the Blackstone Start Menu (think you get a page with the icons instead of a list?) but I didn't uninstall first...after installation was told to reboot, but I still had the HTC enlarge list (although it had gone a dark grey and was hard to read)...so uninstalled that. Now back to the regular start menu, so uninstalled and reinstalled Blackstone Start Menu...no change. Uninstalled the Blackstone one and reinstalled HTC enlarge, but now I am stuck with the small menu...any ideas please of the registry entry or file I need to manually get rid of to get this to work properly again?
Here is my Problem :
I have installed Dutty't Leo R5 Rom and it works perfectly then i installed the following apps
1. Coreplayer
2. pocket player
3. Jbed
4. Iris Browser
5. Resco File Explorer
then after few hours i tried to restart the phone and it got stuck in bootloader then i had to Hard Reset to get back to normal
and this happened to me many time
I have Windows 7 Pro x64bit
so anyone have any solutions ... thanks in advance.
Have you tried using the Rom without installing these apps? Install one first, then see if it gets a problem during a day and some restarts and then install the next. Maybe this will show you whats getting wrong.

I had the same problem. It was constantly stuck in the Smart Mobility Boot Screen. I tried all sorts of Dutty's Roms, even older ones and it was still freezing up. Especially when syncing or writing to the onboard memory.
Last week, I flashed Miri WM65 21895 Premium Manila 2.5 Rev9 Rom and haven't had a problem yet. I am cautious still about installing stuff to onboard storage and not syncing emails. I have installed the usual softwares (on SD card) and it appears to be running fine.
I have this problem too. Dutty Leo R2. And before this it was Laurentius26. The phone blocks it self, or the screen does not turn on. I had to hard reset so many times...
how did you flash the rom in?

Hi
Just an idea are you sure the back cover is properly placed , perhaps something is pressing the down volume button?
Jay
I have a very strange symptom on my device. When I go to the start menu and try to scroll in the window it didn't refresh the screen, the icons are overlapping each other. This happening if I am go to a subcategory in the start menu as well. See attached screen shots. Right now it seems every other apps are working fine.
Issue caused by WMedia Support by Helmi's. I uninstalled but it did not helped at all
Any idea, how can I resolve this issue?
What I have done till now:
I have checked the install cab file - it seems all dlls were removed from the device (2 or 3 remained but the date of the files are the same when I coocked the ROM)
I have checked all files were created/modified on the day when install the codec, but I did not found anything.
I have tried install some start menu converter such like start menu grid, but they did not helped at all to solving this issue
ROM: Dutty WM6.5 LEO R4 WWE
Any help/idea would be appreciate.
I think you will need to Hard Reset your device as you mentioned that some critical system files may be missing. I don't think anything else can be done.
Change the tsk theme to classic blue then soft reset, then change it back.

Ahh... never thought of that, good call
Hope that fix works.

Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately it did not help, any other idea apart from hard reset?
If no one else has reported the same bug in the chef's thread then flash a stock rom, then flash the Dutty rom again. Then hard reset twice. Then find an update to that program you installed that caused it in the first place.
I don't think it is related to the rom is much more the app I installed. If there won't be any other idea i will do a hard reset and check (might be update rom as well)
I also try to check registry changes what I found in the cab, but nothing special, at least for me
Good evening,
I've just had my Touch HD delivered today, its not brand new, its a used item but is in perfect condition.
Anyway, the previous owner has obviously removed all of his details, pictures etc etc. However there are still a few apps on the device. Tom Tom for example, a screen rotate app and a few others.
Although they are useful, I'd quite like to have a fresh start with it.
The last owner installed a fresh windows 6.5.5 (?) before he sent me it, but I dont really know the difference, I'm a beginner when it comes to windows mobile.
So anyway, is it worth me doing a full reset on the phone? So its a cleans slate? And then updating the operating system (I need to learn about ROM and things etc), and downloading the apps that I'd like?
Things like the home screen, is the clock meant to be white and black? Because mine is like a see through bluey grey colour and I dont think the default theme is installed.
Anyway, any advice will be happily received
Thanks
Chris
anyone got any advice for a new wm user?
Any comments are appreciated
You could hard reset, but then you would no longer have whatever applications he left on there (like TomTom etc). However, it could be that he left TomTom on the SD card, and that you could simply reinstall it. That might also be the case with whatever other apps are on the phone.
The Touch HD original came with Windows Mobile 6.1. The previous owner flashed a newer custom ROM that has WM 6.5 on it. There are different versions (or "builds") of WM 6.5, but in general they look the same and they are better than 6.1.
To "update" the version of windows, would require you to flash (i.e. "install") another ROM on the phone. There are no "windows updates" via internet like on desktop computers.
Hard reseting basically brings the phone back to the fresh ROM installation state (of whatever was the last ROM someone flashed on there). So, you could do that and then you could begin to install whatever apps you want.
After you get the phone the way you like (with apps, contacts etc) you could use a program like Spb Backup to backup the entire phone. That way, if later on it gets a bit sluggish, you can hard reset and do a backup restore so that within a few minutes, you will have all your apps and contacts etc. right back on there. It saves you the time of reinstalling everything. Keep in mind that it is not always recommended (although possible) to restore a backup onto a ROM different from the one used when the backup was created.
If you are curious about what apps to install, I just posted a list of my favorites in another thread. Link here (second post)
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Firstly, things like tomtom were on the memory card as you said, so they still work.
I've actually done a hard reset on the phone and its come back exactly the same.
So I'm guessing its had another ROM update in the past? I've been searching around for the original ROM and have managed to download one. I just dont know how to install it (done a few searches already).
I guess I'd just like to start fresh with it, and modify it in my way
Thanks again for the reply.
I would not recommend going to an original (stock) ROM. Custom ROMs are a lot better. There are some very talented people here who make changes to original ROMs in order to make them faster and to improve many of the features (as well as include new features).
I bought my HD in Nov 2008, and within a couple of weeks, I flashed a different ROM on it. It has been almost a year and a half, and I could not picture myself ever going back to a stock ROM.
You can see the ROM development section here in XDA dev. or you can visit htcpedia.com to look at other options. ROMs from Dutty, Energy, MaryOne, and Miri are among the most popular. They each create different ROMs and each has ROMs with different versions of Windows Mobile and HTC Sense (Manila 2.1 or Sense 2.5). Some have the regular HTC text messaging app, while others have removed it and include the Windows Mobile messaging app (since there have been problems with the HTC app becoming extremely slow when you have lots and lots of messages - i.e. for those "text message power users").
To flash a new ROM (takes about 10 minutes), you have two options:
1. Flash from your PC
2. Flash from the SD card in the phone
I have always done it from PC, but flashing from SD card is a safer method. If you flash from your PC, it is very important that, once the flashing starts, you never ever unplug the phone from the PC until it is totally finished and it restarts (or else you will kill your phone permanently). But, just do the SD card method and you'll be on the safe side.
The first thing I would do is to start your phone in bootloader mode (= hold volume down key the whole time and tap the power button; a red-blue-green-white screen will appear) to see what type of SPL you have (original SPL or HardSPL). You probably have HSPL, which would allow you to flash any ROM. If you have original SPL, you will need to either install HSPL to permanently have the ability to flash other ROMs or install USPL to have the ability to flash a ROM in that particular moment only.
Read more about SPL here (great tutorial).
My guess is that since the previous owner installed newer ROMs, then you probably have HSPL and you probably have a version 1.56 ROM installed. If this is the case, you would not need the upgrade steps discussed in that thread. Those are for people with 1.54 ROMs (the older, not so common ROMs). But it is still good to read as it describes installing new ROMs.
Here is a quote from Dutty about quick ROM flashing instructions:
*Flashing Guide
SAFEST WAY TO FLASH YOUR ROM IS THROUGH STORAGE CARD METHOD:
* Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
* Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
* Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
* Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
* After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
ALTERNATIVE WAY OF FLASHING YOUR ROM WITH RUU.exe
* Extract Rom download Folder.
* Be sure to have at least 50% of charge.
* Turn off your device by using the Power Button
* Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
* Connect your device to PC
* Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the screen instructions.

thanks for another very useful post
Ok I've checked out the device information etc.
If I show you them here would you be able to possibly point out if I'm running a good setup?
Ok on the bootloader screen it reads this..
Blac100 32M
SPL-1.56.0liNex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
When I start the phone up the first screen displays this in the bottom right...
1.17.25.09
52.69.25.37U
Also after that it shows a screen saying HTC and then Energy underneath.
Is Energy one of the ROM types?
And lastly in the device information it shows this.....
OS Version - 5.2.21901(21901.5.0.92)
Manilla Version - 2.5.20121255
ROM Version - 23.Apr.2010.WWE
ROM Date - 11/20/09
Radio Version -1.17.25.09
Protocol Version - 52.69.25.37U
Also when I press Start it shows a new page rather than a drop down programs menu....is this a part of an updated ROM?
I hope you dont mind me bombarding you with all this info.
I guess I just need an experts help
Thanks again
Chris
No problem. Glad to help.
SPL 1.56.0liNex shows that you do have HSPL and that it is upgraded to install 1.56 ROMs. That's good. It basically makes it easy to quickly flash whatever ROM you want to try out, without having to do any extra steps. So, the instructions on how to flash from memory card (above) should work for you.
Yes, you have an Energy ROM installed. You can continue to use it or you can flash another ROM if you want to try something else.
Your OS version shows you are running WM 6.5 build 21901 There are different builds out there. Some are more buggy than others, but I don't know how much they all differ from each other. The newer ones have the start button and OK button at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top, and the menus look a bit different. These versions are often referred to as WM 6.5.x instead of 6.5
Manila shows you have the latest HTC Sense version 2.5 (build 20121255)
ROM version shows WWE (world wide english) language and the date from about a week ago. I don't know if that is how new the ROM is or if that is the date the ROM was flashed. On my phone, it says "Dutty HD HG R2 WWE" (that's my ROM) but no date, so I don't know what your date means.
ROM date - 11/20/09 This is probably when the ROM was released.
Radio version: I have an older version 1.13.25.24. I believe this can be changed separately from the ROM, but if you are not experiencing any issues with bad connections etc, then don't worry about it. I have never done anything with my radio version, and I have no idea if the ROMs I have installed have ever changed that. I've never had a problem. Sorry, don't know much about the different radio versions.
Start menu opens up a new page..... This is part of WM 6.5 If you don't like it, there is an app out there that can bring back the old drop-down menu, but most people prefer the new version.
I hope that helps.
Yet again, thanks for the help.
I'm starting to understand how this little device works now.
I've decided I want to start from a fresh with the phone and attempt to restore it back to "factory" settings (if possible).
So I assume I'll be need to get hold of an original rom file?
And flash it with that?
I know newer roms are better etc, but I want to set the phone up to my specifications if you know what I mean.
This shouldnt cause any problems should it?
Also do you know where I might be able to download an original rom from?
Cheers
Chris
Sure, if you want to flash a stock ROM, you can try it and see how you like it.
You can find a lot of info about flashing on the XDA Wiki page for the Touch HD. Save it in your favorites because it could come in handy later.
In that page, you will find this link to available stock ROMs in the various languages.
Please Help, I'm using HTC_Asia_TW_1.66 stock rom on my HD2, after installing some apps and mods, it won't boot after a soft reset. I restored the system by SPB backup to earlier status and then all comes back, the phone works again except the photo tab remains blank (black).
Maybe that's because I didn't make a "full backup" but only "system" level by SPB, may this lead to miss something on restore?
Here is what I have now : In the right side there is still counter showing "1/99" (means there are 99 photos?) but nothing shows up. The camera icons on the top-right side are still there too, and they works. HTCAlbum works too. On the bottom the two menu text remain "phone" and "menu", which belong to the home tab.
All other tabs work just fine.
I tried to delete the album cache files but no luck.
As mentioned I got system backups from last stats, I'm thinking extract something from it to replace current files (exe, dlls ?) but I've no idea about what to do~
Any helps are very appreciated...

I have exactly the same problem. I just noticed it today. I'm using the WWE 1.66 ROM and everything's been fine.
I have no idea what caused it, and would love some help.

The symptoms look very suspiciously caused by the installation of the landscape rotation tweak, TX Total Landscape.cab
I had installed this particular cab before but had since removed.
Same problem
I have the same problem with my hd2... but I did not installed the TX Total Landscape.cab.
I think the problem started when I tried the GTX white theme.cab... but even after its removal, the photo tab still doesn't work.
Is this a bug caused by Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5???
I really don't know how to solve this...

Thanks Zentury, I think this may be the most possible reason. I didn't use the Tx one for landscape fonction but I do have installed another enablelandscape.cab. This one may cause the same problem. but I can't confirm this cause I've switched my stock rom to energy rom yesterday. thanks anyway!
I tried several ROMs - 2 of miri's, and 2 energy ROMs and all 4 of them lead to freezing of my ""pictures and video sense tab, even after a fresh flashing. I flash my device after I format my SD card, remove it along with the SIM, perform task 29 => ROM flashing and then hard resetting. I tried different compatible radio versions, 2 of the roms were with CHT...still the same bug - pics and video tab freezes few seconds after finding the pictures on my SD card. I think what is common in all these 4 ROMS is the presence of a screen rotating app - in the last ROM (Energy Reference) it is called just "Rotate screen". Anyone know how to disable it?
drkalo,
It's weird cause I'm using Energy's rom (JUN22 Cookie version) and the photo tab problem on the last stock rom is totally gone!
I don't think it's easy to disable the rotation from these cooked roms, maybe you can ask within the specific rom threads.
But I think if I have no problem with energy then you wouldn't... I'd suggest formating your SD card but you've done it. I suppose you copied files back to the card after formatting. Now it sounds like a file error. Did you try deleting any non-image files on your photo folder (DCIM) ? especially album.cache. Move out the videos too, they could be problematics. When using HD2's camcorder I've tried saving videos in other formats and that freezed my phone.
Dear noixdarec,
As you suggest I copied back all of my SD card content after formatting. I deleted the cache files but din't delete the whole DICM folder. Now I did that and then I made several new photos and videos and - VOILA! The tab works without freezing! Never thought of that and I thank you VERY, VERY MUCH! Mersi beaucoup!
Dear drkalo, je t'en pris (you're welcome) ! So glad that you solved your problem, have a good day~
