Just got my HTC Touch HD today and really impressed with it and it's not as big as i thought
So i've been playing with it to get to know the menu, functions, etc and just wondering how to set pin code when i turn on the phone?
Great forum and been looking at the threads for couple of days now
Thanks a lot
Phone pin
Just go to PHONE/MENU/OPTIONS and the select the PIN tab on the bottom.
Good luck.
Yeah tried that and after i put pin, there's no OK button or anything?
ALso what's the advantage of flashing with new ROM, will it remove my provider splash screen?
A new ROM does much more than just change the splashscreen. It is basically the same thing as installing a new OS on your desktop computer, or rather a different version of it. New ROMs solve bugs, glitches, add new functionality, can change the appearance.
I would recommend to you to try out your Touch HD for at least a week, find out what you dislike about it, write it down if you'd like and then hit the local ROM forum, open the most popular topics (that would be Davideuck's, Laurentius' and Dutty's) and check their features. If a particular ROM appeals to you, read the instructions on how to flash it and try it out - but backup beforehand, as you will lose all your data!

The OK button should be on the top/right corner.
Thanks all for your help.
Still charging just now. How long do i need to charge it for (just out of the box) as it's been 4.5 hours now
Was looking at Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex which i believe need to flash it with this before flash with any ROMs? Also was looking at CustomRUU for Blackstone as well as Dutty's HD XTREME. Still no idea what they are tho
Is it similar to jailbreak for ipod which allow us to add apps, etc?
Also, i have old sim card on network A and wanting to transfer all the contacts (phone no) to my new phone which on network B, is the only way to do it is to unlock the phone and insert sim card network A to the phone?
Thanks

You can synchronize the contacts from your old phone to your computer and synchronize your contacts to your new phone afterwards.
I did the same yesterday.
Well, what you could try, is syncing through Outlook or something like that. Use an old phone with your old SIM to sync your SIM contacts with the program, then connect your Touch HD and sync contacts again.
And now for the terminology.
Flashing: Saving data on the internal memory.
SPL: You need to flash one of these first to be able to flash a new ROM.
HardSPL: You only need to flash this once and then you can flash as many ROMs as you'd like.
USPL: Basically the same as HardSPL, but you have to flash it every single time before you flash a new ROM. It, however, doesn't void your warranty.
ROM: The "OS" of your phone. There are many different authors, or "cooks", who make their own ROMs. (i.e. Davideuck, Laurentius26, Dutty, kwbr and many others.) This is the part that really matters.
Radio: Another thing you can flash. This time, it changes the behaviour of your GSM module, WiFi, 3G and GPS. Basically anything that is used to communicate wirelessly. A newer version is not necessarily better.
Wow thanks a lot for that
I don't have any cable that come with my old phone, will bluetooth works?
So HSPL probably better then and will it void warranty? Can i revert it back to original ROM in the future?
Have to do it 1 by 1 with bluetooth
Well, I've heard you can flash your original SPL later and nobody will know a thing (same goes for the ROM), but that's only when you don't have your phone "bricked" (that means your phone has to work for you to be able to flash the SPL/ROM). I've never looked for it, so I don't really know.

No idea, sorry.
Transferred now.
What i did, i put the new sim card to the old phone, copied all the contacts to the new sim card and then put the new sim card back to the new phone and copied to the contact in the new phone
When i open contact on the new phone, why showing both name from the contact phone and sim card? I couldn't find a way to choose just the one from contact?
http://www.mobilehtc.net/index.php?ind=downloads&op=download_file&ide=9&file=INGHideSIMV2.1.rar
Install this to hide SIM contacts.
Thanks
So do i need to do HSPL before i can install this kind of mods/apps?
No, HSPL is only needed for flashing unofficial ROMs. Applications and programs are alright.
How to install this?
Also do i need to reinstall after doing HSPL/USPL?
HardSPL
There, all the information you'll need.
I installed HD Tweak at the end and it's great.
Will do HSPL or maybe USPL later still don't know which one tho
I am still having problems installing most cabs. Only a few are working for some reason? I have searched and searched and can't find any help. Is there an app unlock that will work on my Tmobile HD2? I saw one for the Tilt2 but not sure if it would work on mine. I could use some help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I know some cabs require soft reset or even recycle power. Exactly what apps are not working?

Are you trying to unlock DEMO's? Kindly explain more what does this app do as i am curious what it is? If you are, this forum does not allow it.
I know that some cabs. require a soft reset after installing but my problem is most cabs won't install. The download fine but then say uninstallable. They are good clean cabs like BsB Tweaks and several others from here, also I tried from sites like pocketpc.net and still they won't install. A very few do and one I tried was sdkcerts hoping that maybe I'd get lucky but it didn't help. I'm not trying to install any trials or anything. I don't know what else to do, I have searched and searched and haven't found anything that works yet. I'm not that proficient that I feel comfortable flashing anything yet. I love the phone but not being able to install most things sucks. Tweaking the phone is one of my favorite things, I'll work up to flashing later hopefully. If anyone can help I could sure use it.
@N1M1TZ: I can vouch that amstaff's intentions are legit, we've just been unable to get most any cabs to install for him so far.
@amstaff: I'm honestly believing that with everything else we've tried, it's proabably time to try a hard-reset...I haven't turned up anything else that could address your problem (no app unlock, etc). It's actually a very simple procedure, and has often cleared up odd issues that defy every other attempt. The only downside is that it resets any tweaks etc that you've done since starting, but if you're having trouble installing everything anyway, I'm guessing you haven't been able to make too many changes. You'll just want to back up your contacts (easy), and see if this forces your phone to behave. We'll be happy to help you through the process if you want.
Does your uSD card have a write lock switch? Not sure if the card that came from Tmous had one or not. I am using a C6 card which doesn't happen to have one. Anyway, another thing to check as this can disallow write access to the SD card.
Another thing to try is copying the cab file to internal memory, turning off the phone, removing the SD card then trying to install in internal memory without the SD card in the phone. You can always uninstall it if you wanted it on the card but this should rule out some problems.
Sirphinkee-I went ahead and tried a hard reset, you're right it didn't really matter since I have only been able to install a few things. It still has the same problem.
Decim8-I looked at my card and there is no lock on it. I don't think that would be the problem anyway since it does install a few cabs. That's what I don't understand I can't figure out why it will a couple but so many others it won't? I know the cabs. are legit cabs. and they are from reliable sources and people. It's better than 90% of the cabs. I'd like to install keep saying uninstallable. I tried your suggestion of installing to the phone directly without having the sd card in and still they won't install. Downloading them to card or to hard drive is no problem only the installation.
Has anyone heard of an App Unlock cab. for the T-mobile HD2? I just don't know what else to do, I don't want to flash as I don't know that much yet and I saved for quite a while to get this phone and a HD2 brick would be terrible.
Thanks for the ideas so far guys-

There is no "app unlock" cab. It make no sense that some cabs install and some don't. Are you making sure that they are cabs and not zip files? And you are leaving the cab files together... not un-zipping the cabs? (cab files will look like a rar or zip file on your pc.) All the files you are using are single files ending in .cab, right? And you are copying them over to your device, then launching them from your device?

They aren't zipped. I had a Fuze before this phone and never had a problem like this one. I'm doing the same thing with this HD2 as I did with it. I download to the sdcard, then try to install. I've downloaded to card and tried to install to card, I've downloaded to card and tried to install to device, I've downloaded to device and tried to install to device it's always the same thing.
Amstaff, did you get my PM?
Java Unlock for HD2
I get certificate messages when trying to install unsigned Java apps. Particularly mTorrent. cant be authorized because c=us;o=verisign, inc;ou=class 3 public primary certification is disabled.
Possible solution
The same happened to me when I first got the phone. I found a solution in this. First back up all your data from the SD Card. This is really important as yo will loose everything that's on the card. After, Format the SD Card to Fat 32.
Now import all the cabs to the SD Card and install them.
If for some reason you still cant get the to run try this cab. They are certificates that help overcome the security locks.
I have the same issue. Tried downloading/test a couple of different adroid builds and after a restart found the file "is not singed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found."
Cab install - solved
Had issues with this previously. Had to do a hard reset with the power + up/down volume buttons at startup.
This corrected the issues with cabs being locked out.
I bought a HTC touch with Android on it off ebay for sprint. I did not even know that this phone did not come with android to show how little I know about phones... So I tried to activate it and that worked fine till I got to the part where you enter the ##nnnnnn# number to put in the msid. So ops it dont work. I dont even know how to get files on my phone, when I plu it in it does come up under ky computer. I can put stuff on the memory card but don't know how to use it under android. Some one told some else on this forum that you have to flash it back to windows change it and flash it back. there was another person that said to use a plrgram on the phone called get spc or something like that which I tried but I don't know how to get it from the memory card to the phone or how to run the program off the memroy card with android. I used Astro (don't enen know if that is what astro is for) and tried to launch the program in the phone and it said it didn't know what to do with and exe file. I am so stuck. Sorry to be such a pain.. Can any one help. All I really want to do is change the msid and that msn number or what ever that second number is called.
Thanks everyone.
Randy
Post screen shots+problem details
please
breife with details
Sprint are CDMA no? That means you have an Vogue, not an elf. Whilst your lucky you can have froyo, you have also ended up in the wrong section. Hopefully a mod will move this
Moved to Vogue section.
As for your problem, I personally don't know how to mess with programming settings on Android (I know it can be done via CDMA Workshop, but you need to get the program to do this and even still it isn't easy). Flash back to WM (look for NFSFan's rom, you should be able to flash with no issues as your phone is unlocked). Once you have flashed, you can easily do the PST programming from the Phone Codes folder. You can flash back to Android afterwards.
I hope this helps.
I have a dual boot hd2 that I purchased today and I purchased the unlock code for it. If I boot it into w6.5 it does not give me the option to unlock when I boot into android it gives me the option but tells me it is the wrong code.... Please help
Do I have to revert the phone back to factory? If so how I bought the phone with android because it was already done
Is it a t-mobile hd2 that your trying to use on ATT? If it is then simply take out the t-mobile card n place the ATT card in I believe. Then it'll ask u for a code I think.
yes it should but it doesn't... I have been talking to a few people that know more about hacking and I found out that some people think the phone will be faster in android if you strip windows down to the bear essentials and apparently that was removed. I think I will have to find someone to re flash the phone. although I was playing with the phone and found the imei# for the android phone which was a htc desire does anyone think if I payed for the unlock code for that phone it would work?
I guess there aren't any hackers in this forum... No help for any phone I've posted on
I had the exact same issue. The WM 6.5 rom I had didn't have a check to detect locked sim, so I booted into android (Mattc 1.7 at the time I believe) with att sim and android prompted for code and I entered the one tmobile gave me and it unlocked it.
I would say make sure you gave the people correct IMEI and that the code is correct, because doing it this way does work.
I tried that and it didn't work it told me it was the wrong code it does give me the right imei# for the phone the software came off of but not sure if that would unlock it because windows is still the controlling os isn't it?
you shouldnt have bought the phone with android on it. that is not really good for the developers either. your best bet as you probably do not know what the previous person did to it, is to wipe the phone completely (use search on how to task29 the phone), and reflash windows ROM and radio. then place the android files on the SD card as instructed and your done.
do not ask how to do all this, and hope for someone to write out a big long how to.
go look it up. thats what search is for.
i myself have a AT&T sim card now and would like to use it on the phone but i bought it from tmobile and now 20.00 less will hope to use the sim card on this phone. But when i put the card in no code or anything is asked of me with the hd2.. can some one help me please.
Use File Explorer in WinMo, navigate to the /Windows folder, make sure "show hidden files" is enabled, and tap the file called SIMlock (or something else very similarly named). It should then prompt you for the SIM unlock code, regardless of whether there's a SIM in there or not. If that file is missing or doesn't work, flash back to a stock ROM.
Sent from my HTC HD2 MIUI using XDA App
I know this has been covered loads, but im not exactly a computer genius but ive been at this for 4 hours now and its getting annoying...
ive installed the LEO70 rom on my HD2 installed chevron and Tom XAP installer and dev. tool kit etc following all the guides i could find...
Now when i go to unlock it in chevron it only gives the option to re-lock so i assume its already unlocked (ive tried re-locking it and un-locking again which failed so i re flashed...thank god for hspl and magloader....)
the problem is when i try to install any of the XAP stuff the tom XAP installer says:-
error connection: make sure phone is unlocked
and make sure usb is connected and zune is connected
yes yes and yes.....
im now super confused and wondering why i bothered lol,
im running XP by the way and havent been able to get an activation code yet....
Am i being stupid or have i done something obviously wrong??
again sorry for posting about a well covered subject but i still cannot find an answer to my problem
thanks for any help
Just to add, now the thing keeps resetting itself hard reset style lost all my contacts etc time and date etc ,
Could it be a duff rom causing all this?
well the resetting is a common SD issue, your card isnt compatible
as for XAPs, i dont use that, i use the appliaction deployer with the development tools, however i do know that if i try and do it without admin mode it will not work
course, your still using XP as well which complicates things a bit and again its not something i use any more so i cant be of any more help im affraid.
your SD issue tho is fixable, you could try formatting the card first in a digital camera or you will need to get a new card.
Go for a class 2 or 4 card, ignore any threads saying "this card works" yes it works for them but perhaps not for you, its very much down to luck
Thanks for the advice bud, I've popped the sd card out and it seems to be more stable bow but my main problem is the unlocking, is there any alternative software to unlock? And what developer loading thing do you use if not Tom xap loader ( I'm having trouble finding alternatives to try

Did you get the windows phone developer tools installed?, i think your post said you did, in your start menu you will find a menu for Windows Phone developer Tools, in there you will see an application deployment program
I use that but i have to run it in Admin mode, once its started it allows you to install an XAP to a emulator or a device, select a device (make sure its connected to zune) and locate the XAP.
ive never used that tom installer thing so cant really help you much with that.
as for the SD thing, without an SD it will lag quite a bit, buy what you can afford and dont buy something you wouldnt mind turning in to a tiny wee paper weight, ie dont go folk out for 32GB card when it might not work, 8 seems to be a good size to price card, again stick to a class 2 or 4
oh i forgot to ask, did you use one of the pre-unlocked ROMs out there or did you use the original DFT one?
got the dev tools yes, didnt know where it went though or what it did lol....
i tried it withouth the SD and it still changed the time and stuff all by itself (assuming it crashed in my pocket)
the rom i used is called HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, i dont know how to tell if they were pre unlocked etc (i did look but couldnt see anything) is there any rom you would recommend?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
try that one, i dont normally suggest modded ROMs the DFT one is fine, but if someone is having issues with unlocking then they are much easier to get working
right i got another ROM from the development section (ill try that one next if i have problems) loaded that up got it all working with the missus laptop (windows 7 instead of xp) got all my contacts on there and even got the activation code through microsoft support chat.... runs smooth etc now i just need a new sd card (its crashed once already and im running an old 2gb card)
the thing that does my head in with the crashing is that it sets the clock to 00:00 and the date to 1980!!! gotta get a new card soon as i use my phone as my alarm to get up for work... doh....
Thanks for the support though bud, much appreciated,
one last thing, when i get the new card i take it i cant just take one out and put the other in as if i boot without my sd card the phone has no settings or contacts etc..... do you have to copy the card info accross or something??

technically its possible to use a partitioning program to clone the old SD card to the new one, ive not tried it, i think for the sake of simplicity, i would just reinstall it, you will lose you programs and SMS messages, paid for programs are still paid for, but you will need to locate them of the marketplace again.
