Hi! I'm new here and was wondering if it's possible to restore my "old" phonebook when i decide to flash my htc hd2 with android 2.3. contacts should be saved on the sim card. Also found this on androidadvices[dot]com htc-hd2-steps-to-install-android-2-3-gingerbread-os Would you guys still recommend to install this rom? Would really appreciate it if you'd help me out here!

You have plenty of options. If you are already on Android then you simply use your gmail account and it will sync your contacts/calender etc.
If youa re on windows I think you can do same thing or use sim as suggested or you can also use a program like SPB’s migration tool.
please help

You didnt ask a question about flash.
The HD2 is a excellent phone and I love it. I love trying new roms/software and cant really see myself buying a new phone for a long while.

When u say market, i believe u mean on android...Well there r several ways u can have ur apps backed up..
1. Google does it 4 u automatically...
2. Using softwares like "MyBackup Root/Pro" or "TitaniumBackup"...etc
3. If u've got CWM installed (my favorite)...use it 2 do a full n free backup.
Or are u talking abt d exact location on ur device where the "market" stores downloaded apks?...i'm not sure @ d moment but will browse my fone ltr n see if i can find it.
would someone be so kind and tell me if it's possible to take calls in "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0"? And what does it mean with "sense" & "sense-free"? Would really appreciate your answers!

I'm not familiar with "imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0's ROM, posting a link to the thread should help us answer ur question better...
"Sense/Sense-free" tags simply tells if the particular build has HTC Sense screen layout & widgets bundled in or not.

With the WinMo installed on HD2 I used Active Sync to sync my contacts with Outlook.
Now using an Android-SD-Build i use the HTC-Software "HTC Sync":

Well when u first install & run android on ur device, while setting up ur accounts...especially ur gmail acct...well, it asks u if u want ur settings n data backed up to google...accepting it means some of ur phone settings (like remembered wireless networks....etc) and links to apps u've downloaded & installed thru the stock android market all get saved & uploaded 2 google's servers...So d next time u flash say another/d same ROM n while setting up accounts...and u set up d same google acct, ur phone ltr automatically performs a sync (wit internet connection ofcuz)...And things like ur contacts, settings, favorites, and previously installed apps all "magically" (as steve jobs would say) appear in ur programs list...
Summary....wit d option on..wheneva u install an app 4rom d market, android simply remembers the app link, saves it & connects it wit ur email..then when next u flash, it simply re-connects 2 those apps, downloads em and installs...all r done automatically (while sync is on)...Sync takes awhile so u'll have 2 let ur fone settle.

Simple, either on android or WinMo....Just use the built in format option or download n use this sd formatter...Use an external sd card reader or connect ur device as mass storage to format.
As the title suggests:
I enabled the Android setup wizard on all Roms by a simple mod
So what this does is enables the Android Setup Wizard which runs on first boot and is made to ease the first boot like adding/creating accounts, changing some settings,etc.
I am posting the manual instructions as i g2g now so later on i'll post a script
Open any root file explorer
Navigate to /system
Mount as R/W
Open build.prop
Add this line at the end:
Code:
ro.setupwizard.mode=ENABLED
One more thing
You need to factory reset to use this as this is for the first boot only(to ease things!)
Sorry for the inconvenience but i'll try to make the script(and test it as much as possible) maybe tomorrow!

Use the one from cm7(a5)

My GT has suddenly developed quite a few dead pixels on screen (they weren't there last night!) I rooted it using CFRoot last week but I guess I'd better un-root to send it back to Samsung or they may not be too happy about my warranty
Can anyone please tell me how to un-root it? It took me ages to build up enough guts to root it a few days ago now I have to undo all my hard(ish) work!!
download z4root from market
u can see un-root
hope it help

There is various dead pixel fixing apps available.
By the way, please use proper titles. If you want to say please help put it in topic. Titles need to be descriptive otherwise teh forum turns to sh1t. For example something logical like "Dead pixels on tab" etc etc

Sorry about that! I was in the middle of a "lack of knowledge" panic attack !!
I'll download the app and using that. What are these dead pixel fixing apps? I thought dead pixels were a hardware issue?
Im really sorry to bother you guys again but I can't see Z4 root in the android market at all!
Is it no longer available?
I rooted the Tab using Odin and the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS file when I updated to 2.3.3. Is there some way to undo this using Odin?
Apparently I need to remove all traces of rooting from the device or Samsung wont honour any warranty...
Many thanks
Just reflashed with stock and back to normal now..

Homey..would u mind telling me the steps on unrooting the p1000? i used the same root methods as you but i have no idea on how to unroot it
---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------
sorry guys,after reading the threads,i dont see any solutions on how to unroot..so what are the steps actually? i used the same root methods as Homey; which is using the CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS
Sure, no mystery! I just re-flashed it with the stock ROM and that did it. I'm sure that there's a simpler way but to be honest, this only took 10 mins so I went for that instead!
hmmm...sorry but im still a noob..where did u get the stock rom?
and how did u flash the tablet? using a software i assume.
its ok..done already,thanks
Sorry micikop9 for not relying - been away for a few days and only just got back.

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen
I just wanted to change the main google account to enter the market. I just made a little search and I sth. says that "open root explore, go data=> system => find accounts.db and rename it accounts.db.bak" I've that this and nothing changed. Another one was saying "Go Applications=>Manage Applications google apps clear" I've done it too but no difference again. then I see this vid /watch?v=aFinbsXqTE0, system=> framework => rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak" but after the "force close" the phone reset itself and stuck on "droid" screen.
somebody tell me what to do, please

Part of the forums rules is not to use foul language by the way, I don't care but some people might so you should refrain from doing so.
As for your problem, you will probably have to follow the above post's advice. I don't understand why you couldn't have just changed the account through the market? Why bother with root explorer and deleting/renaming potentially crucial files? Makes no sense.
Finally, I got some answers! I feel like I'm in Fringe or sth.

My phone came from Germany and I live in Turkey. There are so many taxes and prices are higher and higher.

I remember that it was firstly opening as windows m. (white back, green front) and then turns a screen that loads android and keeps going. I guess that means ROM. how do we do hard reset? or reflash? thanks.

I used it with my simcard at the first week when I get my phone and entered the market with a HTC sense account. But after the first week my damn operator closed the my phone to calling because of I haven't registered it yet with a passport. Then I have to use it without the card until I find a passport and when I took off the simcard the HTC sense passed away and when I tried to open market it asked me the password of the account and I had no idea about it.

Hello from Spain!
There are several users with this wonderful smartphone in my country.
It usually comes factory unlocked, running on Android KitKat 4.4.4.
I wonder whether there exists any root method for it. I've been told it won't work the method for the 360H model.
Any tips and help is very welcome, please.
Thanks a lot!

It was meant to make phone more "secure" if u are not rooting or planning on flashing a rom then u can just leave it. Otherwise there are things u should know before disabling. What are your goals for this phone?

It IS rooted ... My immediate goal for this phone is to get Google Play Store to work again after one month of it hating me after I foolishly (better word than "accidentally" which most people seem to use)" uninstalled Google Play Store after rooting my phone last month.
Can't one just BEG Google to help them with copy of Google Play for a rooted phone after foolishly uninstalling it??? ... My account with Google is good in all other respects ... If so HOW?! and WHERE?!
HOW THE HELL can you get Google Play from GOOGLE PLAY when it crashes IMMEDIATELY EVERY TIME YOU TRY???
Talk about CATCH farking 22 !!!!
If I had the money I would take a FREAKING HAMMER to my phone and buy a NEW one and start ALL OVER AGAIN DAMMIT!!!
DAYAM ... a freaking month of hundreds of hours trying to fix a stupid error that punishes you MERCILESSLY whenever you try to do ANY FARKING THING Google except search ... DAMN !

I wouldnt know a custom recovery if it bit the entirety of one of my butt cheeks off.
Android version 4.4.4 ... I will send you a screenshot of my device "about" screen on my phone with PRECISE rom details when and if I decide NOT to set myself on fire with gasoline and calm down a bit.
I am currently tethered and therefore cannot access my phones files to fetch existing screenshot of that from my phone and have too much open on my PC via my phone internet wifi connection to bother to break it this minute
Thank you SO much for your obvious intention to help me btw ...
PLEASE do not think that ANY of my anger is directed at YOU.

No worries sir. A custom recovery is clockworkmod,team win recovery project, philz recovery. They give u more options than stock recovery that comes with phone. I access recovery by holding down power,volume up, and home until samsung logo pops up, then release power and continue to hold others until recovery menu pops up. But ur phone might be different. Its important to have custom recovery so in case ur phone gets messed up you can fix it from there, or flash a new rom. And u can make a backup of the exact state ur phone is in now so u could restore it later if things go bad. I will help u with all this but it will take me awhile so dont stress. Dont worry im poor and only use wifi too. I have 4 kids and disabled son, health problems, etc so i feel your pain. We will get thru this together in time. To attach screenshot hit the quote button under my post and then reply. Normal reply wont do it. Then below where u write u will see attachment options and can select from gallery the pic. Then hit upload and close that window. Then send message. I got your back

I am on a PC and do not see a quote button under your post nor have a "gallery" on my PC ... sheesh ... constant problems which are small but add up over months to the loss of the wish to go on living sometimes ...
One would think it should NOT be impossible to drag and drop or otherwise choose a photo on your PC to post in the forums here without having it posted on a website somewhere and having to supply a URL!
It is after midnight AGAIN here and NOTHING accomplished in my life today including eating or bathing or sleeping all because of this ******* phone and GOOGLE!
I cannot be the only one with such a problem in the world and I cannot believe that it has TOTALLY ruined over a month of my life to have uninstalled Google Play from my phone!
*whimper*

Oops i forgot u were on computer. Yeah gallery only on phone.
I always attach screenshots on my phone since thats where i take pics so i didnt know it was different on computer. Dropbox is probably easiest to use if u need url. Until u get everything set up this will be frustrating but then it will be awesome! Tomorrow we will try to get into ur recovery and if its not good enough then i will help u flash custom recovery and things will get easier. Then we will get ur google apps back no worries. U will not have problem like this again because we will back up ur phone properly and if mistakes are made after that it will be able to be restored the same day. Talk to u soon
