I use GooManager app. It helps sometimes if the links aren't working for some reason. Plus it downloads directly on your device so you can avoid copying.

htc hd2 running android (newbie)

Hello, I just converted my HTC HD2 from W6.5 to android nand 2.2, and so far I'm really impressed at the speed and the available apps. However, I cannot connect to the internet without using my home wifi. I have seen the other threads saying to download the datacontroller.cab file and I have done that. But I can't open the file to download it or get it to work.
I know this is a newbie question, but that's what I am.
Help? Let me know what additional information you need and I'll get it!!!
Thanks kindly in advance!
So you can't get mobile network working on win mobile or android?

Whichever build you are using is old and will probably have many bugs. Try a newer build. Also, as far as I know .cab files do nothing in Android, these are for WinMo.
Nigelgd, where do I get the info to run a newer build?
Thanks
in this section you are in, , see teh top thread?
''**HD2 Android Q&A and General - Sticky Roll-Up Thread**''
look in there, read the guides.
Samsamuel, that didn't work either. The buld downloads no longer exist.
Maybe I'm trying this out too late?
Oh dear... first choose a ROM you like. I personally recommend Typhoon CM7 but you can choose pretty much any ROM in the Android NAND Development section on the first page. Then follow this guide to get your Android build running.
Hello all!
I got it figured out. From searching the internet, I found a site that walked me thru the fix. It's the APN settings in the mobile networks, under settings.
Thanks to all who support this website, I'm going to like using my phone now! And to think I almost sold it for $50!

Always try searching the forum before asking a question. You will be surprised how many people ask the same questions.
For the time being, look in the Android Development forum, there are ICS custom ROMs for you to try.

Hi everyone,
I'm having DHD with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, i've bought it a year and a half ago, and I never touched it, so it is unrooted and has it's original (stock) room.
Now I'd like to flash a custom rom to it, I've done a lot of research and found out I need to downgrade my device to be able to root it. Now, I've spent hours looking for a proper guide of how to downgrade the device and root it, but found nothing really.
Can you help me? I've almost given it up :S
Thank you very much in advance whoever helps me!

I kept getting that on my first ever root attempt. Turns out it was my lead. Make sure it's the original lead. (mine was actually the original but it was faulty, did charge still though) hope this helps.

You need to use AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit). You can no longer find it on XDA.
But if you search google for AAHK you will find their support page, and you can download it from there.
Also mae ksure to read the manual (called the effin' manual). Don't skip a word!!
Also, since you are on 2.3.5 you need to downgrade. Instructions are on the effin manual.
Teichopsia, I can't thank you enough man!! You helped me A LOT with that link
I've done this for the first time ever, and all went the way it should! Running ICS wooooo!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES!

The guide was written by glevitan, thus, he deserves the thanks. All I did was point you in the right direction (and proof-reading that guide about 5 times before it was uploaded ).
From that same link check out post #179, currently it should be the last page.
I'm glad it's all sorted out. Happy flashing.

Well, anyway, thanks to both of you then
I'm very happy

[Q&A] PhoeniX 10.0 VZW ported to sprint

Q&A for PhoeniX 10.0 VZW ported to sprint
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for PhoeniX 10.0 VZW ported to sprint. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

Is anyone else having issues setting up their Exchange account? I can get through the first part of the setup where it asks for the email, password, username, servername, then I click next and it is checking the server, and then says "The server outlook.office365.com must be able to remotely control some security features on your device. Continue?", and I click Ok, I get "Unfortunately email has stopped". So I cannot setup my work email. I tried to copy the SecEmail_J.apk, SecExchange.apk, and a couple of libraries that start with libjni_email... from the I-9505 PhoeniX 10.0 ROM but it doesn't fix it. Is there something else I can do to provide more information?

Data and wifi do work just fine on this Rom.
The only issue I have seen is that I can't add my office 365/work email to the stock email app.

Same here on the Exchange mail issue. I just use Nine mail instead. There are instructions in the OP to get data and wifi working if it doesn't work right away. I followed them and got mine working fine. .
Will this ROM work with nj2 baseband ?

[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.
There's a search button for that reason. Just try it...

did you try frameroot?
I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
I had my ouya rooted, collecting dust.. Then decided to flash an AOSP rom, and bricked it.. Looked and found this video,I achieve root, boot menu , cm11 with this video . http://youtu.be/fYwZ_l31-G8 , beware.. Strange sounds in the background ... ?
