everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great
Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer
I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work
When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?
the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.
so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.
well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.
Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards
I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...
I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.
if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom
Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input
Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.
Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.
What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...
Hi all,
I'm contemplating updating my ROM from the o2 stock 1.43 to the recently released 1.72 ROM via the HTC website. If all goes to plan, I may be tempted to flash a custom ROM in the not too distant future.
However, a piece of info on the HTC website has slightly unnerved me. It is as follows: The update will take up to 30 minutes, DO NOT interrupt the update process, make/receive phone calls, disconnect the device from the PC, or press any buttons until the process has been completed.
It's the make/receive phone calls bit that I'm worried about. Obviously I ain't gonna make a phone call while flashing, but how can I stop anyone from calling my number during the flash? And if someone were to call me during the flash would I end up with a bad flash and a possible bricked phone?
Please reassure me guys cos' until so, I ain't attempting it.

Take your SIM card out.
It's worth it,There are many benefits to the official ROMS later than 1.43
Don't worry too much, the reflash is relatively safe and straightforward.

O2 ROM upgrade - problems
I updated my original o2 stock 1.43 to the recently released 1.72 ROM via the HTC website as you are contemplating. since then, the following has happened: Text 'all messages' and 'reply' fonts are so large that editing is impossible, The weather no longer recognises my location. Thes matters do not appear to have a solution. I applied a full backup (SPB Backup) which may have aggravated matters, but I don't want to re-install everything from scratch. Think carefully before upgrading.
Desmac
arghhh >< why do people use backup's between different rom versions.
The reason why it doesnt work and causes these problems is because the backup software stores the entire registry hive as part of the backup, a long with some system files that are part of the rom. when you use a backup taken froma previous rom, it restores settings values that may not be approriate for that rom and also can remove registry settings and system files that the older rom did not have.
to fix this issue you should do a hard reset:
15. How to Hard Reset your Phone
To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Backups
There is an option in the latest SPB builds to do "Device and ROM upgrade modes" when doing a backup/restore.
SPB User Manual - Device and ROM Upgrade Modes -
Now you can safely upgrade your device ROM or change your device and seamlessly restore your data. SPB Backup will automatically detect if the restore process is being performed between different devices or ROM versions and prompt you to select the upgrade mode to perform.
But as the poster above says I would avoid doing this imho as it is pretty easy to reinstall programs and settings yourself and you don't have the worry of messing up system files (which it sounds like the big fonts issue is).
You could backup contacts & sms & emails & pictures etc - and then restore the user data rather than the system.
However SPB may work fine - I just prefer to start over with apps which I keep on the SD card and use autoinstall to put them back
I updated to the new O2 rom, then reinstalled all the software/tweaks I like.
I've found it to be at least as good, and IMO, better since I did the update. I used the my phone app to replace my contacts, etc. Took me less than one day to get the phone just as I wanted it.
My advice would be go for it!
It was my first rom update. Very straight forward and a very big difference with the phone. I found it much, much quicker and smoother.
RReckless
I agreee with above, I updated my O2 ROM to the 1.72 with no issues.
spent about an hour re-adding the apps and tweaks but worth while
Can anyone tell me if this will wipe any updates etc that have been done to the phone by the phone company?
my phone forgot the lock code so i had to do a hard reset, since then the phone has been freezing quite often, mainly when sending/recieving texts if you change the orientation while typing.
at the moment its either wait 2 minutes for it to sort itself out or just restart sense which is now becoming annoying.
any help appreciated
it also wont play the h.264 recordings i have made on the phone, i just get a black screen that says loading :/
well i have figured out it is definately related to the orientaion of the phone, i cannot turn the phone on its side when sending texts or using the web browsers or it will just lock up or slow to a crawl.
p.s. somone just please reply so i know i aint getting ignored cos my posts seem to be lol
Hmmmm...
Is the issue only occuring since you performed the hard reset and not before?
Have you tried reinstalling any updates you had before the reset?
Do you have a lot of msg's in your inbox?
updates are usually stored in root of phone
have you installed any new cabs or roms ??
if you've not installed anything new another hard reset may be in order just to re-syncronize phone
only help I can give at mo

Yeah it will. it is like doing a windows system restore using the restore discs that came with your pc. Personally i would look at updating to a newer rom if you haven't already got a 1.66 or 1.72 based stock rom. You could always look at a custom rom. I use energy 23569 and i haven't had any problems with it. Also the energy roms include a newer version of sense that is included with the new TMOUS roms and it appears to be less buggy
thanks for the replies guys,
it was fine before the reset but it did slow a little in landscape mode but nothing anywhere near what its like now, key presses had a slight delay and now they are like a 5 second delay....portrait mode is perfect.
i always delete messages so my inbox is empty, i never applied any updates prior to the reset, i assumed virgin did it all for me.
i have only installed a few tweaks but the main change is bsb tweaks, i'm now using the latest version where as i was using the prior version before the hard reset but this has only started happening about a week after i installed it.
rom version is 1.66.351.1 (76641) WWE
rom date 03/03/10
manilla version 2.5.19211619.0
OS version 5.2.21869
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
i want to use a custom rom or atleast update to newer one but how will i put it back to the stock rom? the phone has some locked items from virgin installed, they will know if those are not there.
No they won't. Just say you removed them by hand because they were of no purpose to you.
If you install a custom rom on your unbranded, unlocked (the phone virgin supplied you is exactly the same as what you would pay for standalone except for the software extras) Leo it will be easy to install a stock rom. just flash it and then remove HSPL3 in favour of the stock spl (1.42 i think).
Your manilla/sense version is actually very old. There are newer versions about (2015 and 2016) that have been developed for the TMOUS devices but as HTC neglect the UK we haven;t been given the officially yet but most of the new custom roms include them.
If you do stay stock try installing LeoCPUSpeed V4 and chainfire's 3D Driver Patch V2. They will improve the speed of the phone in general and you may find the typing lag goes away completely
hi,
i have some VERY annoying bugs with this ROM :
1-/ The hour, in the clock have 1 hour more ! ( very annoying for alarm clock )
it's a very random bug : sometimes when i awake the HD2, sometimes when i restart it...
2-/ i delete my mails when i read them.... but the HD2 ALWAYS reload them !
( from a gmail account)...
3-/ Same problem with SMS: i delete them, but after 5 or 10mn, they come back !
4-/ sometimes, HTC Sense have big bug with i put the HD2 in landscape orientation for choosing an album ( music album page)
what about you ? have some tips to resolve these problems ?
5 - Camera flash doesn't work independently anymore
6- MS Office Mobile 10 will not work correctly on this version
Totally Agree
I've waited for the official Asia version to released only to get disappointed. First 30 minutes of usage my HD2 hanged twice. Did a factory reset and finally reflashed the ROM.
When I thought everything is OK. I had the same problem again when I started loading my favorite apps. Don't know how HTC tested this ROM. Their old ROMs are much much more better than this....
Epic Fail!
Just a simple question; did you install stock ROM 3.14 correctly?
I mean with this in the last couple of months I see almost 75% of the user who didn't install it correctly.
1) download the correct ROM version who match with your aria S/N.
2) Remove HSPL from your device.
3) Install stock ROM 3.14
4) Do a hard reset.
I don`t have any problem with the 3.14 rom , everything is ok . And ,I must say , it`s better than 1,66 rom

Same here, few issues now, better battery life, hardly any crashes.
I've found the issue with the reappearing emails as well, but only with an IMAP account and if you delete them from within Sense. If you delete them from the message dialog or inbox it will delete them. As we didn't have the delete function in Sense in 1.66 I don't see the problem.

PS: anyone know if you can mark a message as 'read' from the Sense interface?
ROm bugs
Hi there
3.14 is realy fast ROM.
But full off bugs missing clear type!!!I don't want to go for regedit!!!
UI is fast with lots of lags!
Abouth camera,sms,mail,,, better not talk
3.14 is the best ROM WM 6.5:
1. Very fast first start.
2. No bugs till now.
3. Working microsoft voice command(after install) over BT mic.
4. Great batery life - 2 days (aggressive using).
5. Android friendly.
6. ...
I dont know why but i have very bad battery life with 3.14 ROM stock or customized and i think its because 2.15 RADIO
No problems for me using 3.14 ROM.
Isn't stock ROM supposed to contain everything, I mean besides OS, Radio ROM is also cooked in..... And yes as far as I know I followed correct procedure, I've flushed out HSPL with 1.42 official ROM and then upgrade to 3.14 ROM.
The second time I flashed I've check the bootloader and it says 3.03 SPL. Flashed the official 3.14 ROM twice. Second time I flashed everything looks okay but when I loaded my apps uConvert with flashlight didn't work always hanged. Parlingo always giving notification that it didn't start properly worst even if I uninstall it, HD2 still giving same notification.
On top of this keyboard is very laggy, I though this issue should have been solved, tons of custom ROM had solved this issue for ages.
Now I'm happily back to custom ROM with Laurentius26 WWE latest 3.14 based ROM, still keeping 3.03 SPL. Why can't HTC even match the performance of custom ROM they should know better right? sometimes its difficult to understand this manufacturers.
Instead of removing HSPL you can flash from the SD card.
Its very NB to have the correct stock rom (region) when doing the above. If you don't you end up with SPL 3 and no OS (just the boot loader). At this point you will not be able to get past this without a gold card.
The safest route is to get a gold card first then flash via SD Card.
If you flash with out removing HSPL via the USB you will still have the old spl and you will have a very unstable OS.
no problem with 3.14 rom..only thing that is not working is visual voicemail
At last my stock Rom was on SEA HTC official web site,I put back my spl and flashed it,overall its a good ROM but I dont like the scrolling in Sense and my WIFI suffered terribly,since I heavily depend on it.I hope HTC will update it soon with a better one.
I went back to HSPL and installed the Middle East English ROM 1.66.415.9 WWE,with heavy tweaks from this forum,this is the best ROM Ive ever used,should have been the basis for any future HTC updates.
Anyone having this issue?
Whereby everytime after you sent a message, there's a message sent back from htc??
Anyone know how to disable it? it's very irritating!
Thank you very much!!

p/s : i cannot insert picture because of my rank
Missing the Display Settings completely from All Settings?? Why do they make it tough to enable the ClearType? ClearType is disabled by default as well :|
What about RAM of 3.14?
In Settings - About phone - Hardware information RAM size is 448MB.
In SD card & phone storage is written that Total program is 366MB
Is this the same?
So when I first rooted my phone I put Fresh on there. I installed the ROM and the 2 radio files. I then got the 3d and gave the evo to my gf, but fresh was very slow for me so I installed the CM7 ROM.
CM7 was very buggy for her, especially since she was new to Android I decided Sprint Lover's ROM on there and flashed a newer update on it since.
The problem is that she has been having problems with 3g. She has so many problems and errors with 3g data. It shows that she has 3g, but she gets errors when she tries to access the internet.
My question is, how can I get it back to stock or a nice rooted stock rom to try and fix this problem? Do I just flash a stock rom? I'm guessing the fresh radio's might be messing something up. If there is a simple solution to this without having to do a full erase I'm sure she prefers that, being that we've fully erased her phone like 4 times already, lol.
Thanks guys.
Get the Sprint Lovers all-in-one package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
It's flashed through hboot (it's a PC36IMG.zip) and will flash not just the rom but also the radios. This will wipe everything.
Alternately you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and get just the latest radios and flash those. Flashing this will not wipe everything.
If the problem is with the radios then that should fix it. If it doesn't, then it's likely that the issue lies somewhere else.
thanks, just installed the new radio's. Will see how it works.
I would definitely just get the app mybackup root and back everything up apps/data , sms etc.. Then just restore everything after you flash a new ROM.
Then just do a fresh install of what ever ROM you want then test out different radios till you find the best ones that work for you I'm on old radios because the newer ones didn't work great for me not all evos work the same .
I hope that helps you out some.

I got simalar problem like u.
I installed new radios, try different roms like MIUI, CM6, CM7, Miks, Minn, OMJ's, etc...... finally I go back to stock rom but still got the same problem.
I almost crazyy
the phone never got 3G signal, it only works 1G no matter what I did.
I've reserched couple days but looks like nobody got my problem.
now I fixed my problem btw... well I'm not sure this thing works to u or not
anyway try it if u still got 3G problem.
*I don't even remember where this posted originally,,, somewhere this forum or not,,
huge thanks to original author btw
download 'MSL reader' at market n get the numbers. it's 6 digits.
go to your phone and type ##3282#
tap 'edit mode'
type that 6 digits from MSL reader
tap 'data profile'
open menu n tap 'restore'
then the phone will be reboot.
when booting is done, your phone will start resistering to network.
after that, if something popup n ask update (mayb PRL update), 'cancel' it.
mine works perfectly now.
hope this work to u.
ok thanks, i'll try it out. I do get "3g" at the top though, but always get an error while trying to retrieve data.
Also, what files in the SD card are necessary? Is there a list? I think there are so many junk files in there taking up space, I don't know whats necessary and whats not.
Please help slow EVO 4G after flashing Sprint Lovers All In One
Obvious Noob here.
having issues with my Evo 4G after flashing Sprint Lovers All in one
phone seemed very fast immediatly after flashing SL but since then has become just overall slow.
in fact, i'm downloading an update to ROM Manager right now (a 2.27MB file) and it's taken literally 20 minutes to get to 75%. it's painful!
when i go in to manage applications...says "computing" on space, data and cache etc.
before i flashed SL all in one i ran factory reset 3x in a row prior to flashing - i did NOT re-format my SD card but had it removed (after unmounting).
Should i try to wipe and re-flash or just go to CM7? Are there any things i can try before re-flashing or moving to another rom? Please help..
thank you OB1B
