Instructions for rom Upgrade...

Hey...
Having problem with no sound during call on my XDA2i. I have full system sounds, WMP is working, tones are working and key tones are fine. but when the phone rings and I answer there is no audio and the 2nd party can't hear either. Also the speakerphone doesn't activate, but sound works FINE through wired headset and Bluetooth. I've tried the audio jack, with raking it with the 2.5 mm jack to no avail
I want to try to upgrade my ROM as I have found this worked for someone who suffered from NO sound at all on their device. I downloaded Deathnoise 1.11.171 ROM but want to know HOW to perform the operation.
1) do I need a PC application to 'flash' or install this rom?>
2) can i use USB or do I need serial cable>?
If anyone could just give me a quick list of what I need to do this i'd greatly appreciate it, i just have zero experience with ROM flashing and upgrading.
THank you in advance..

hi bane, i recently flashed my friend's xda2i. this is what i did.
1.) put the xda2i device in its cradle to sychronize in windows desktop pc
2.) run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, follow the window prompts
3.) you will notice that your xda2i will switch to bootloader mode and the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will stop and give you error message.
4.) re-run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again, this time your device flashing will be successful.
please note that do not attempt to flash your device using windows vista.

I see, thank you for the info. so when the device is flashed, im guessing its a hollow shell ready to install the new rom...how does that work? i've unzipped the deathfire rom pack, but see no cab file. does the rom install from an exe on the pc?
thanks again

Hey, just incase anyone is reading this thread....The rom upgrade worked fine... but it didn't resolve any problems regarding the no sound in call.
HOWEVER, to support the only real info i've found in the forum about this problem, the sound problem rectified itself.... however, it's only been one day. i am not sure how long it shall last, as the last time I took the XDA apart and put my friends 'phone' circuit board in which suffered the same problem weeks prior and it WORKED, but only for two days.
I'll keep you posted ...

hi, I've been having the same problem, but only when it is on charge. put the phone on charge, try to use it and nothing through the phone, only wired and bluetooth headsets work. disconnect from power, same problem on first try, then after that all ok.
Just wondering if it is an issue with the power or power block.
Just found out it's likely to be the connections on the plug. See this thread I found on the subject, http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-245857.html, and this one for the connections. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Connectors.
I cut both loop wires that go from pin 2, to pins 5 & 18 (on mine, the only two that looped back) and everything worked fine after that.

Phone automatically triggers Navi-Panel.

Firstly,i would like to apologise for making another thread with the same topic if there's any.I've searched the forums and most of the threads seem to be 'Dead'.
Last week,my phone had something strange going on.When it's at sleep mode,it automatically lights up.I picked it up and i see this thing called the 'Navi-Panel'.The screen was in landscape mode.The only thing that i can access was the phone.I managed to exit the Navi-Panel through the task manager but the problem's still there,my phone and my SMS are in landscape.Also,the phone calls that i make and received are always on loudspeaker mode.I also cannot connect the phone to the computer via the USB. I've tried various ways to fix the phone such as hard reset and rom flashing but it's still the same.I'm currently on the Stock rom version 1.66.707.1(76641) WWE. Can someone post a solution for my problems?

It happened to me twice when a tiny drop of water dropped on the micro usb slot, creating a temporary short circuit.
Make sure the slot is clean, (no conductor material inside).
It may be a small chance, but it is still a chance...

I have the same problem
My phone got wet last night due to rain. And the Navi panel kept coming up. So I set the option for Navi panel not to have an automatic launch. Thats fine now, but I got another problem to sort through. When ever I pick up a call the speaker is automatically turned ON. Its embarrassing now. I am just hoping its temporary..
If anyone has an idea on how to turn off the automatic speaker on call pick up, pls let me know.. Thanks in advance.

Whats more is: I cant connect to the Activesync now. The phone is charging well though.
I can probably live with that since I can connect through Blue Tooth. Hoever, if someone has any idea on how to turn off the "Auto external Speaker mode", pls let me know .. any registry key ... or any other means.
Thanks in advance.

This happened to me a few months back now on a wet evening, assuming the phone must have got wet through my pocket. Tried everything to fix it, left it to dry out for 24 hours near radiator with the battery out to no avail. But then flashed a new ROM and it started working. (Had to flash the same ROM three times till it started working. Every ROM since has been fine)
Hope this helps.

Thanks .. That gives me a hope. Could you pls tell me what ROM you flashed.. may be its something to do with that specific ROM..

Activesync died...
Thanks all of you who contributed to the forum. My HD2's activesync stopped working yesterday... and main challenge was to put shipped ROM and send it to the repair...
There is only one thing that I could not explain... When OS is up and running (regardless whether it is cooked or shipped) there is no active sync can be established (only charge function is working). However, when phone is in boot loader (RGB screen) I could connect it thru USB and install ROM from computer...

switch off quick sync on HD2

Thanks for trying to help XAH, but this was the first thing in my troubleshooting process. Usually it helps when you plug in the phone, computer acknowledges it, but pop in warning sign that USB device is not recognized. In my case there was no reaction (on multiple computers) - like nothing is plugged in... Will see what repairer says... I'll post an update as soon as I'll hear from them.

got my HD2 from repair centre
I've got my HD2 back from repair centre... and it works fine... most bizzar part is paper say that nothing was done...

a friend of me hat this problem some time ago. it disappeared after about 1 or 2 weeks iirc.

Same problem for me, but i've changed 5 diferent rom's and nothing...i will try the airdryer now

Speakerphone + sync problems (i have been searching!)

Hi Guys,
I've searched through the forums, and did not find any post relating to the problems that i am having on my HD2 for about 2 weeks now.
Problem number 1:
When im trying to make a phone call, it immediately switches to speaker phone. This is also occuring when im receiving one. I pick up and almost turn deaf from the person greeting me.
What i've tried:
- Flashing a new rom
- Flashing a new radio
- Flashing a new HSPL(might aswell try that one while im at it right?)
- Tried looking into the phone setting with no success
- Smashing it on my desk being very frustrated
Problem numer 2:
After flashing one of NRGZ wonderfull roms, with maxsense, my phone stopped syncing with my pc. The icon on the taskbar only shows it is being charged.
What i've tried:
- Turning on the "enable faster data synchronization"
- Tried putting the pc to usb connection on hard drive or modem as default
- Flashing a new rom & radio
- Putting the cable in all of my USB ports on the hope it might start working if i do this whilst looking angry at my HD2.
- Shaking my fist at it in anger
This problem also occurred on my Linux install which would normally recognize my HD2 when it is in HDD mode, and i would like to hear some suggestion on how to possibly fix this!

so i guess my phone is f0rked?
i can always get a desire or droid incredible :/

shameless bump, im really about to destroy my HTC and buy me a Desire or droid incredible

Problem 2:
1- Try to disable your antivirus and firewall software.
2- Else: Turn off the "enable faster data synchronization".
Cheers!

thanks for the tips, but i have an independent machine that acts as an antivirus for all my machines, and same goes for my firewall.
I also tried turning off the faster data sync but its still not seeing my pc's /laptops as machines. the phone reacts like i plug it in the contact, and not a pc :/
tried this on linux and windows

It sounds as though some settings are lingering through the ROM flashing. Maybe you should check out Task 29 in the Rom section to completely clear your system before a ROM flash.

same problem
hi..
i have the same problem..
the positive side is that i decrease my phonebill... i have no motivation to call someone.. its soooo frustrating... since november i have this phone... and since 2 month this problem makes me going crazy...
what could it be!?? is this a hardware defect?? or what...
i searched a few forums... nothing really helps...
there was a bugfix for the changing horizontal mode... hmm.. ok... thats great... but it does not fix the main problem...
1. The phone speakers...
2. usb connection...
today my hd2 turned himself on in my pocket... and shoot a photo... of course completely black... and published it on facebook... ...
later i saw it on facebook.. and there where comments:
what is that, why are you uploading this... etc.. -.-"
i really like to make a rom update.. but it wont work... this is driving me crazy... how could this be that htc has no solution for this ULTRA BUG????
since touch hd ... i started to like htc.. but now.. i dont know...
do anybody have a solution here in this forum for this problems ??
greetings for all of you...

Hi, it looks like I'm not alone then! My HD2 is from the first batch (November 2009).
I have the same issue with speaker on when calling (since a few days)... Also the screen automatically turns on in my pocket and so I've for example twitted "hjkhlhf" to the whole world...
So, what I have done!
1) execute task 29
2) go back to original SPL 1.42.000 (the one originally on my phone) with the HSPL2 tool on this forum
3) flash the latest official ROM from HTC website: WWE 1.66.405.2
Result: after a hard-reset, without installing ANYTHING!
1) Navipanel starts itself because he thinks I'm in car kit mode (but why?), even though the phone is not connected to anything (no usb cable, no bluetooth activated, heck even no wifi or data connection!)
2) after disabling Navipanel via the options of Navipanel, I can finally use my phone... well sort of: everytime I get out of Sense UI (making a call, reading an e-mail, etc.) the screen automatically switches to landscape mode!
3) more frustating, the speaker still switches on when making a call... So now when I make a call it's in landscape mode (even when the phone is vertical) and the speaker goes on...
4) usb does not connect anymore in Windows. It's still recognized when in bootloader mode though, so it's still possible to flash something else...
=> hard-resetting again and again leads to the same result...
What I've done? I've called HTC, they will pick-up my phone on Monday morning for repair... I will keep you updated!

Well you will never believe this: as soon as I have finished typing this message, I have made a phone call for my work. And guess what? The problem that has been bothering me day and night for a week is all of a sudden GONE!!!
I guess I'll cancel my repair pick-up then... But on the other hand it must have been some hardware malfunction, and who knows if it will not appear again?

puh...
there is a bugfix on htc... for the landscape problem... but this hole problem appears on my phone the 3. time.. so don t think this was the last time...
my hd2 was also from the first batch nov 2009.. may be this is it...
the first wave of hd2 have a malfunktion...
nice...

Please could any one help me spv m5000 stuck at boot screen

Hi Guys
Please could any on help me i have a orange spv m5000 i think i flashed wrong rom killed phone, but have managed to hard reset via, on button plus the two minus buttons and the soft reset hole, but when i press 0 to restore factory defaults i then see the text ( serial and v2.01 ) but phone will not start up, when i plug in usb cable the only thing that shows up in windows is (pocketpc smartphone) in the safely remove hardware on taskbar then i tryed uni_exitbootloader but get error (cannot open usb port) i have stopped activesync usb detection, but still no joy.
is there a way to get the usb port opened or is this phone bricked, Man i hope not i loved this phone and cant really afford to get another (Real hard times!) Man i hate learning the hard way.
I also read somewhere that the phones batterie memory can get curupted and there is a way to fix it by shorting out the pins if any one has that info that would be great as well.
a million thanks for any help any one could give I mean that folks.
if you think you can help would you be so kind as to send me an email telling me howto, [email protected]
again many thanks for any help
Regards
Daz
PS sorry if this is in wrong forum if it is could you tell me where its suppose to go cheers

Try doing Doc format and/or running MTTY
All information can be found on my signature link
Good luck,

Double post!

Thanks orb3000
ill try them out
and sorry about double post really unsure where it was suppose to go.
Thanks again for answering
PPC

Hi Again
tried mtty, says
com1 port can not open
even though i disconnected active sync and usb cable as recommended but still no joy,
i still have the faint serial and version displayed on screen but it seems as though theres no way of finding a connection to the phone,
i havent tried doc format still looking on how to do that but i remember reading about that and i think i will still have same issue as mtty has, weird that in my task bar i can see ppc smart phone in safely remove hardware and yet no prog can get to it.
got a feeling this is a lost cause, sending it in for repair costs the same as buying a secondhand one so whats the point of repair! crap man this sucks
Orb could you suggest a good working rom for my spvm5000 so i could try a differant rom to see if that might make a differance ill try any thing at the mo,
oh well thanks for trying dude.
regards PPC

I would recommend Tomal 8.2, 8.5 or 8.9
Let´s see if other member can give you more alternatives for your problem.

PC Connection doesn't work! please read on, i'm not a noob!

Hi guys i have really bad problem there is NO WAY to connect my HD2 to PC in windows mobile. I have 5 years experience in WM and have been using my phones to sync until NOW-it simply wont work anymore.
I tried switching computers, always shows just charge, not Mass Storage or ActiveStink, the pop-up doesn't show, only charger is showed in taskbar.
I tried flashing stock ROM&radio (1.66), switching extra 2 computers and all ports on theirs an mine,
I tried going to Android and start pc connection and it WORKED, flashing (obviously) also works. only in (any) wm rom apparently doesnt. what the hell?!?
Soo, has anyone else seen this? please help i cannot even get complete schedule for next week to sync on my phone and i need it..
please, any help really appreciated!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801018

you don't seem to get my point i have w7 and device cente and sync WORKED all the time. also USB works on android! and i can flash!
today it stopped working inside WM so i tried 4 different computers and stock rom and all their ports but phone still registers PC as charger an i don't see a popupp to select connection, it only charges. checked everything 1000 times and flash wipes everything off the phone so it should work fresh but it doesn't....
i'm guessing some kind of HW problem, but how can connection be sucsessful in android if that+s the case?!?!
i need some real help here...

okay i self bump myself as noone seems to take me seriously...
Today afrer recieving a call it put me on speaker right after the call started without even touching the screen! I also noticed that Navipanel opens itself randomly! that got me thinking....
...could it be that HD2 is recgnizing that it's being on Dock without being in? How's that done(hw switch or only software)? Is there a solution for that?
please guys.... and thanks bigtime for any additional info

dirty / faulty usb socket. give it a scrub with a dry toothbrush. read the threads "stuck in car kit mode".
not sure why it should work in android, but your symptoms (charge only, and calls go straight to speaker) are both seen by everyone with this problem.

thank you will do that!
i thought that android isn't coded to support car kit so it can bypass the "flaw" if it doesn't know what's the signal for
thx a bunch!
UPDATE:
Solved problem with scrubing on usb port with toothbrush to clean the dust away, but it still didn't work right away so i had to MOVE CONNECTED usb cable to all directions pretty hard. it started working while pushing on RIGHT. thanks to samsamuel!
