We're busy getting at least 10 Xperia's after the initial succesful test of 1.
and its a perfect solution, although with some modifications.
and what i dont want is to install, setup and tweak every single one of them.
i've looked into SPB Clone, but so far i havent been able to decide whether thats a good one.
any other suggestions?
(a regular backup-restore tool doesnt work, because it doesnt work well on restoring on another phone)
thanks in advance
one tiny little kick
why not post 11 to me and i will tweak the 10 for ya lol

u say a regular back up software does not work but spb backup has a rom upgrade option. if u set up one x1 and then do a full backup, then take the self extracting file, copy it to all the x1's sd card (or do one at a time, swapping sd card between x1 to x1) and the double tap on the file to start the restore using the rom upgrade option it will do a perfect upgrade on each handset.
the one thing u would need to change is the handset name after the restore so that u can send stuff (bluetooth, wifi etc) between phones
Here they are working on a solution for our 'problems'. They found a way to update WM-devices without loosing data.

Cook your own ROM
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 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.
My old EVO took a swim but I was able to save my microSD card. I got a new phone and just today was able to root it. I want to reinstall my old custom rom onto this phone, but understand there are some things that need to be changed/deleted/whatever, like my WIMAX keys and the like. Maybe I missed it, but could someone point me to what exactly needs to be done to reuse an old backed up rom on new hardware?
Thanks,
Paul

I would suggest against using it bbut if you feel you must then definitely remove the wimax key info out of the nandroid. The issue is the img's are more than likely signed and you will probably get an error when trying to restore. Which rom is is that you are trying to restore. IMHO - think your best cause of action is to just flash from fresh especially since you dont know what other problems may arise from that old rom.
You dont want to start a I just restored my old rom and think I bricked my phone thread... People will really bash you....lol

Honestly, I don't recommend doing that, as you can brick the device cuz system files have changed.
What you should do is re-download the rom itself, flash it in recovery. if you backed up your launcher settings to the sd card, re-install all the apps. Then from titanium backup restore apps and data, NOT system settings, or you will get problems.
i was going to do this but decided to just flash CM7 fresh.

You dont want being a little lazy to cost you your phone... I agree with just flashing the rom again which is probably on your sd card
then thats exactly what I'll do. Thanks all!

This is a problem that has been reported several times. It also happened to me and the only solution is to reflash. I would avoid it and accept that it doesn't work.
This rom comes with a lot of 'experimental' tweak and mod apps not fully tested on WP7.8 so tweaking anything comes with it's risks.
Personally I uninstalled as much of the tweak software as I could - I prefer a reliable clean rom to one that's been modded till it's inside out! :cyclops:
