anywayz....
heres how it looks like:

It looks like your Hebrew Support software has changed something needed in the boot process, so I'd try to remove that software somehoy (how?) first.
Leave the phone for some time and then try connecting to your PC. Can you get an Activsync connection? If you can then try to remove the Hebrew program using Activsync (Tools / Add/Remove programs).
Other than that you may need to Hard reset which will lose all your programs and settings, but leave it a while and hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will come along with some help.
If you do come up with a solution, please post it here.
Good Luck.

i tried connecting it to my pc and nothing pops up.. =\ its like i didnt even connect it... but somehow it looks like its charging cuz when i connect it the light on top is solid...
any better solution?

I think only a hard reset will save you.

i dont want to do a hard reset! i need the info from my phone...
anything else i can do about it?

Indeed it looks like a hard reset is needed.
What ROM version are you using and what hebrew support wereyou trying to install?

im not sure what rom version i have... im new at this.. i mean i would tell u if the phone would turn on.. but i dont know how to check when its not on.. sorry =[
is there a way to check? sorry again.. i dont know alot about these stuff.. =[
and i was installing Ectaco hebrew support

hey, to check the ROM version, when you soft reset theres a bunch of red text.. the one on the right buttom next to the letter 'D' is your ROM version.
I'm sorry that this had to happen to you.. I had a similar problem (different software) a month ago.. cept I didn't have any data that I needed so I hard resetted it :S.
I'm sure there's definitely someone on the forums who can help you, I'll keep a look out for solutions.

tnxx alot for the cheer up and for the help.. =]
so my rom version is 2.15

help!!!!!!!!!!!!

and stop using bad manners on this site.

lmfaooo wat r u talking about "bad manners" r u kidding mee?

i was wondering if platform builder might help the situation?? cuz i saw alot of threads with a brick devices but im not sure if its the same situation as mine... any suggestions??

dont think yelling out unnecessarily for help will bring you nowhere except for inviting FLAMING you.
if you read around and observe, use of all caps is considered rude and bad etiquette.
i do share the same view as the other poster and seems like a HR is your only option.

oh wow lmfaoo if u consider that rude then ur stupid... and i was yelling help.. cuz i cant live without my phone.. and i need help. so i dont see how is it rude...
w/e i just need help wit my phone soo i guess im sorry (if that makes u happy) soo will someone please help me?

Ok, because you don't seem to get the hint, you need to do a hard reset on your phone. Look in the manual to figure out how to do this.

dude i no how 2 do a hard reset okay.. i've done this before.. but i dont wanna do a hard reset.. i need my information from my phone =\

sucks for you, maybe if you were more polite=/

damnn you people r so meann, im asking nicely for help.. please im begging u!!
i need to get the info out..

is there anything i can do beside a hard reset??

Orange TOUCH 3 G. A few issues... Comments please.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w

The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!

Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.

Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU

Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.

Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.

It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

Do a hard reset. This will "reload" your phone back to factory settings. Turn off. Hold the up and down volume buttons while pressing the on button. It will will walk you through the rest. Most of those tweaks conflict. I recommend loading a custom ROM until you know what your doing.

Hard reset.

Hey bro.thanx to you,and that other guy but you saved me 400 bucks i appreciate all.. And definitely gonna try and learn more on this phone

It would be helpful if you post exactly what you did that caused the problem that way people can learn from the experience. Also be careful what you try...especially just starting off. There are still things I wont try for fear of bricking..or having to hardreset. I got it down to like 15 mins and I am back to running like I was before the hardreset but it is annoying to have to reinstall all the little tweat and mods I had.

Titles like the one you've used really make things worse. It doesn't serve the community in anyway except to alleviate your problem.
It's not rocket science to come up with a more descriptive title. That way if someone else has the same problem in future, they could learn a thing or two based on the suggestions everyone has made in your thread.
Click on EDIT in the first post that you made. Go to advanced and edit the title of this thread... PLEASE!

How to use harret on hd2

Hi all,
Im new to blogs so please be kind, i know this is probably something really easy to do, but im having problems doing it.
Im trying to run the darkstone hd2 froyo rom through harret.exe. I've downloaded the rom and have placed it on the root of my memory card aswell as harret.exe the media folder to fix sound and the other random files that i was told to download with harret.exe.
I have tried to run harret.exe but it just stops about 5 lines in when its trying to "boot" the "karnel"
Can anybody help me get it working. I've regretted buying this phone from day one when i realised how **** windows actually is and theres finally a fix (although not complete, or perminent)
If someone could just show me how you do it from start to finish on a video or something id really appreciate it, ive tried looking on youtube, but everythings either fake, or it misses steps out.
Many thanks
Jamie

ahh, especially the part, I regret this phone from day one, broke my heart..
I'll offer you my help, but not on this thread ok?? The Mods dont like it if you open up a new thread with a problem that has already been answered 20 times...

So message me.. wel'll talk on MSN or whatever and i'll help you out
So Mods you can close this if you like...

Android .exe is there one?

Hi all have had my HD2 for 3 months now and have all the usual issues and it has been back to Vodafone a few times I dont really want to get rid of it as it is perfect size etc for vids and calendar sms for and an old codger like me for work with bad eyesight..
Heres the question I am not brain of britain at this sort of thing and want to know if there is an Android .exe I can run from my micro sd card that has all the upgraded stuff you need for a stable phone........I can add apps and that sort of thing but my technical knowledge is somewhat vague....I dont understand what Froyo is and your terms for radio this that and the other and could be surfing on here for days and not understand much....
I understand the dual boot bit as in the Windows operating system ( or not as the case is )
and Android effectively runs over the top of it but thats as far as I can get...
Any help would be gratefully received..
Regards Lee F
ps has anyone else had their phone dial out evertime you play a track on Nitro?....I came back from France to find each time I changed a song it dialed hope for 10 seconds and had a huge bill of .75p connection charge some 90 odd times......

what ....when ...how...im confused

Android is in fact a whole other system compared to Windows Mobile, and as of now, it isn't completely finished/'out of beta' yet. It is still less stable than Windows Mobile is on your device.
What I do suggest you to do is take a look at this thread, and get started with HSPL'ing your phone, so you can install a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
The phone dialing out is one thing it shouldn't be doing for sure.
Actually sounds like a trojan horse.

Did you change the song with your wired headset? Because it can be used to dial the last dialed number that could be your problem. Also some earphones/speakers without a button can sometimes initiate it when you move the plug around....

Well, that's no way to treat a fellow! Y'ought to explain to 'im.

Android on the HD2 is not finished yet (and will always require things like flashing or other not noob safe things) and has therefore some bugs, problems and limitations. For someone who isn't that good with technical things and hasn't read/understood all those guides it could cause some problems and misunderstandings etc. I can imagine someone sending in his HD2 for repair because his ambient light sensor doesn't work in Android...
...or at least opening some threads here and asking tons of dumb questions that could be easily answered by reading the stickies or using the search.

There is no such .exe file. To Run Android you only need to run a .exe and a few files with it. But without a suitable Radio (the part of you operating system that is responsible for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and everything else that sends/receives data over the air), you will get problems. But finding and updating a suitable Radio sadly isn't as easy as running a .exe
But there are many guides on it which should help you, in case you still want to do it.

Buddy,
Right at the top of the forum here there are sticky threads that contain all the information you need to get HD2 running android. Please post you're questions there instead of opening a new thread.
