hey guys,
rooted my phone, ran bootstrapper and accidentally deleted everything. any way to get it back? if not it really isn't a big deal i was just hoping to be able to retrieve all my contacts some how cuz i had a lot.
any help would be great... i've already tried the backup assistant but i think that may have been wiped clean as well since it asked me to create a new pin which makes me think nothing was associated with my phone
did you do a nandroid or run the backup utility in clockwork?
nope:/ yea i know total noob move... and advice or am i screwed?
See if your contacts synced with back up assistant. Go to Backup assistant and see if you have anything 'Backed up' with them (should be at the top). if not and you didn't sync your contacts with gmail (a really good idea if you are going to mod your android; I had to learn the hard way and import them from my phone from a backup (tedious).) then you are out of luck and have to type them all in or bluetooth from you old phone or something.
damn thats what i thought o well lesson learned... make back ups! thanks guys
lol no problem. First thing you should do with clockwork is run a backup when its installed i lost one phone this way by not doing a backup lol
yup rookie error... o well i guess it happens to everybody... now to begin rebuilding the contact list lol
this happened to me alot lol
yea i'll be sure to make a back up of my contacts cuz this is just going to be a hassle to get everything back into my phone.. luckily my apps reinstalled so that was convenient lol

I don't really know how to really phase the question in a way where it makes sense but here it is. I hard reset my phone fairly often and it is always kind of a pain to go through every single thing and get it back to the way it was.
So is there any way that I can hard reset my phone. Set up everything perfectly to the way I want it then do something to where whenever I hard reset it will revert to that stage? Almost like making a rom (for someone that doesn't know crap) specifically for me so that when I hard reset my x1 all the things that I want are already on there?
thanks in advance for anyone that tries to help me
Try Sprite Backup
Or SPB Backup.
Backup software sucks. It only slows down the device after restore. The guy asks for a full image of the device.

Never had that problem. Using spb backup some time now and it works perfect. But maybe the problem is you need a perfect install and make a backup then to get a perfect restore.

Need help !!!! HD2 changed wmm password?
I have microsoft my phone enabled and everything, but.... as it is my wi-fi and cell radios are disabled....
Before i went to take a shower, i soft resetted my phone using BsB Tweaks, and when i got back from the shower i tried typing in my password... said it was incorrect, and i flipped. but before that i let someone use my phone for like couple seconds, told him my password to the wmm screen, nothing more.. It was working fine with my old password for about the rest of the day.. after letting my friend use it
And now it just seems like it changed the pass itsself, I know how absurd this may sound, but I'm speaking the truth. I just have customized the phone soo far, that i Really do not want to hard reset.
Can the t-mobile employees help reset the password? or Am i just left with that choice.
EDIT: I think i might just go to the t-mobile store and exchange my phone.. 3G was slow anyways, the speaker sounded broken, and the hardware keys are very loose.
EDIT: I can't even type in my password anymore, when i type in the pass, and click unlock nothing happens/
me too
I happened to me too, i did a hard reset. the last thing I remember is to install a cab for sms without manilla. i rebooted and i was able to enter my pass but the ui was the normal windows ui to enter the password, the i reseted the phone again and the normal manila password came but i couldn't enter the password, after several times entering the unlock button didnt even do anything.
Now if i install something big in the phone.. i disable the password , reboot then enable the password.
T-Mobile HD2
This seems to be a bug in the tmobile stock rom, maybe others? It's happened to me before too using the stock tmobile rom. Theres a thread about this over on forums.t-mobile.com as well
The last thing I installed before it happened to me was the flash fix installer to enable flash in Opera.
Anyone have a FIX for this?
I just got two new texts, and well I CANT READ IT? and it seems like my radio is active now... hmm?
Do any of the experts know what is wrong with HD2 winmo password.
i have the stock ROM that comes with HD2 tmobile USA and i hadnt even installed anything.
I was just checking a few tele no. on the phone and left is went into standby and when i opened it, its stuck on enter password and the pass i set just aint working??
i am screwed, had over 30 small softwares which took me quiet sometime putting in.
CAN I GET MY HD2 TO WORK SOMEHOW, is there a fix???
please help me out, i seriously do not want to do a hard reset.
thank you.
Use a hard reset. Hold you volumn buttom up and down together then press power buttom the same time. It will reset to the original manufacture.
This really sucks, isnt there any way around it, i mean is HTC screwing with us or what??

Its a pretty common bug. No fix, just dont use a password. You can download apps from the Market for protecting your phone with a password. I guess it has something to do with the Microsoft registry, last I read anyway.
If you backed up your phone on your PC then its no biggie. Hard reset, re synce your phone. If you didnt, well... let this be a lesson. I learned the hard way. Always backup your phone.

I already had my contacts backed up, but had over 50 programs installed, and it will be a big pain installing all of them all over again.
As an owner of 20 HD2's (corp. account), I can tell you this has happened to 4 of our phones. It was almost a deal breaker. I can also tell you that TMO/HTC have aknowleged the issue and are working on a fix for it. (This comes from upper ups at TMO)
We HAVE to have Lock PIN's enabled, as we are a law firm and such.
For the record, it has nothing to do with anything you've installed, BsB or otherwise. All of our phones, except mine, are running stock ROMs (2.13) and Radio. No one here has the want or desire for 'frilly' things like CHT or BsB. The 4 phones that have "lost" or "forgotten" the PIN code were all stock.
Our interim solution, is to have everyone use MS MyPhone for backup purposes. Note that this does NOT back up anything on your SD card. Pull the SD card out before you wipe it, and you will not lose anything there. Can't speak for apps installed there, as I'm sure there are needed reg entries on the phone that will need to be recreated. That's a guess tho.
Short answer, if it's forgotten your PIN, you're screwed as far as avoiding a wipe.
yup you are right it has nothing to do with bsb or CHT and YES i am screwed.
I will definitly installing some backup software that can also backup my programs.
I already had my contacts backed up in outlook.
I called HTC and the guys said they know its an issue that some ppl. have and its almost a deal breaker for me coz security code is suppose to help us not f*** us up like that.
Now i am looking for a backup program that can backup all programs aswell apart from my contacts and calander on the phone.
The HTC tech. guy said SPRITE is a good backup solution, i also know of SPB backup, so do you guys have any idea which one is better??
thanks alot

hey guys
here is mine prob(s)
i tried to update my phone today even tho SE updater said i had the latest software,
After all that no update... so im still on 16, so i had to reinstall al my settings manuelly, even tho i backed it all up it never kept wot i wanted, any way after putting wot i had back on come to copy my contacts over and the prob im having is it keeps duplicating all my contacts 2 or 3 times and i cant work out why its doing it, and also to top it off its gone so slow and laggy its unreal, had no probs with it before,
the only apps i hav is
atk
adw launcher
and all my timescape accounts set up,
please can anyone help with this annoying problem
many thanks for any help
Aaron
I'm guessin the duplicates are showing due to auto sync, maybe also another backup copy on your sd card or se sync?
go to settings, data synchronisation, click google (if its greyed out then choose select sync app n pick google), then untick auto sync, u can leave background data as that's used for market)
Perhaps delete all ya contacts after n maybe restore a copy of them from your sd card (if u hav a copy stored there)
Hope it helpz!!
P.s - maybe before trying to install everything back you should try the repair function of seus/pc companion, as many people have reported to gettin the latest firmware from it somehow!!

Well I'm not sure what you're using to back up your contacts, but some apps will restore your contacts and if you happen to restore again, the contacts will duplicate. Another case would be that you've backed up your contacts, then restored them, and you happen to have a google account set up on your phone. Google sync will upload your contacts and therefore causing you to have duplicates, or even triplicates in your case.
What I would suggest is go to your gmail account (if you don't have one, then I suggest you do because it's awesome), then click contacts and organize your contacts there. There is an option for you to merge duplicates or triplicates on that page. ***This is on your computer browser, not on your x10***
Next time you format your phone, simply enter your gmail info on your x10 and your contacts will sync automatically.
In regards to the speed, I suggest doing a clean wipe and seriously consider rooting your phone. Depending on your social needs with the phone, you may need your phone to run at a higher speed and you can tweak that on a rooted phone.
hey guys cheers for the replys,
I had a look into wot you both suggested, i was sync-ing to SE so i switched it to google and seems to hav done the trick, phone seems to picked up its pace a bit now ( think maybe cos off the whole duplicating contacts ) i hav considered rooting but little nervous off doing it,
cheers guys for the help and advise, hav u got and tips, advise on rooting, how easy/hard is it to do, yes im bit off a nebie to all this kinda thing

Honestly, the first time I did root... it took me 8 hours lol, and I didn't even do it correctly. Now I've rooted the phone about 5 times now and i think it is very simple now. There are many tutorials in the developers thread that you could follow. Don't be afraid of trying new things, sometimes you have to take risks.
I really do suggest rooting though.
i really am coming round to the idea off rooting, im fairly confidant on the computer, jus more concered but and damage on the phone as i cost me as it wasnt a contract upgrade, so not worried about warranty jus dont wanna bugger the phone up
To be honest I've done it loadsa times.. I've found it easy since more or less beginning. to be honest the first ever time I thought I messed my phone but always was a work around. you shouldnt really have a problem cause you can keep flashing til you get it right.. but its all upto you!! I much prefer my phone rooted, more things to do, better backup apps, and I don't have to see none of that Se crap lol

Cheers bud, I'm gonna hav a good read up onit this week and perhaps hav a go in the week, if I can still plug up and restore if all goes wrong then it got to be worth a go, and from wot iv read so far, it really does seem the way forward, cheers again for ur help fella, nice to see there ppl out there willing to give up a bit off time to help someone out

Just bought an hd2 running both the 6.5 windows, and froyo android 2.2 build, need a bit of help in figuring out this 1 problem which is;
When go to the Android Markey it is still on the sellers account, and I tried to remove his account, but It says since it would need his account for some apps to run id have to set my phone back to factory settings, thus erasing everything. Is there any way around this, if not, could I back up all my contacts to my gmail account (if so, how so) and also from that point, would I have to re hack my phone?
Thanks alot in advance , really grate ful for any help.
Sounds like you bought your phone off a bit of an idiot! There's NO way that I'd let someone else own my phone without clearing everything that is mine off it.
Anyway, have a read of this...

thanks alot man, and yes lol I wouldnt be as mean to call him that, he was quite nice and professional, I believe he just forgot as he wasnted to sell the phone asap..
Also, how do I back up my contacts to my gmail account? and link my contacts to their facebooks?
**** still not working! do i need to clear more apps?
I think you've probably already backed up your contacts. The problem is, you've probably backed them up to his google account!
I think google should be your first port of call here. Not being funny, but you clearly haven't searched this, as I found that link I gave you by searching for 'android change google account'.
I also found this one...
http://www.sizzledcore.com/2009/12/27/how-to-remove-change-google-account-from-android/
Do a bit of searching - the answer is out there!
The ironic thing is it probably takes more time and effort to create a forum account, and then post a 'help me!' thread which you then have to monitor and reply to, then it does to simply type your problem description into google.
Especially now google instant has been launched, you don't even have to press return.
Actually I tried all those methods and will now try to reboot te phone in recovery mode o guess then if that fails I may have to factory reset an re hack

So you have WM6.5 on NAND and Android running on the sdcard .... cant you just format the card and use another Android build or am I missing something obvious here ?
So I have DL09 across the board (kernal, blackhole rom, radio), and im thinking about making the switch to eb01, but I dont want to go through the hastle of reinstalling everything and setting up my phone the way I like it. Is there any way to do the upgrade without losing everything?
Also, is the gps realllllllly fixed this time? I thought dl09 and the 05 were supposed to fix it but neither worked for me.
Any help would be useful. I dont need lengthy explanations if you are busy, just more of a steer in the right direction. I used to read this and the dev forum religiously but ive fallen behind I feel like I dont know where to start.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Well.. you can use titanium backup to back up most of your stuff. For icon placements and stuff it depends on your launcher although mybackups never restored after wiping and then installing eb01 so who knows
Most third party launchers have a home screen backup capability... And Titanium Backup is the way to go for backing up your apps and their data. The paid version makes it even easier, allowing for batch restores without having to manually reinstall each app. Also, link all your contacts to gmail, and they will all be restored once you get setup again.
Following these easy steps will allow you to get your phone set back up in just a few minutes after flashing a new ROM
