[Q] Hero trackball/pc connection problems - General Questions and Answers

Hai people,
Im new here and i got a problem with my HTC Hero. Ive got it rooted to FroydVillain through this site and it worked fine for quite a while. But since thursday my phone flipped.
My trackball keeps lighted on, whatever i do. My battery runs low in like 6 hours...normally i did a whole day with it.
When i plug the usb cable it doesnt connect to my computer, it only starts powering up the battery. If its connected with my usb cable and i remove the battery the trackball starts flickering instead off burning all the time.
I didnt know what was going on, so i tried to do a nand restore in the root menu. After that i still had problems with the trackball and it still doesnt connect to my pc. Then i tried a factory reset in the root menu, but the problems are still there.
It doesnt let me get into the mobile network settings either. It doesnt find my provider and cant change it, so at the moment my whole phone is useless
Im quite new with this whole rooting thing, so i might have messed it up now? I hope some people know a solution for this. Please dont throw to geeky stuff to me, because i might not understand it
My software settings are this according to the phone:
Firmwareversion: 2.1 update1
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel-version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number: 3.32.405.2 CL 191507 release-keys
Softwarenumber: 3.32.405.2
Browserversion: webkit 3.1
Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance

I have tried to fix it myself cause i didnt get any responds yet, but without succes. I got it to restart again in the original htc version, and get the setup menu where u can set your country, wifi connection etc...
It doesnt recognize my sim card though, and doesnt find a provider because of that. When its finished with the setup menu its at the 'normal' home screen. But as soon as it turns black as the screen saver i cant get the screen on again.
The trackball also still keeps burning.
I went to my local phone repair point, but they dont do androids :S its for nerds he said -_-
Im getting hopeless...plx could some1 tell me what to do. I want a whole reset off the phone...i dont care losing information on it. But because i cant connect it with my computer i have no idea how to flash a rom on it

New phone, need some help

Hi everyone. Great site keep it up.
I just bought a HTC S710 and I need a couple of pointers.
First of all I've got a problem which I hope you can solve for me. Whenever my phone is off and I try to turn it on, it reaches the startup screen where it says "windows mobile" and then it shuts down. The only way for my phone to reach the home page and not shut down is:
1. If the sim card is not in. (Phone boots up reaches the home page and everything is functional)
2. Or if it is plugged in the charger/USB cable, sim card/no sim card.
Another small issue I have is that sometimes it shuts down automatically, which is inconvenient.
I would appreciate if you could help me with this problem
hi, i dont know if this would be a fix or if you would be willing to do it but if you install a custom rom then it could fix the problem and make your phone way better to use aswell. I'm using fireburned's 6.5 rom and its great, would recommend it. good luck with fixing it!
Yeah I am wanting to install a cooked ROM, but I have a kind of problem. I'm running linux and I can't seem to find a program to install the ROMs through linux. Got any ideas
sorry i dont know, i dont really know much about this i just did it with my phone and hoped it would work, so im lucky i didnt brick it to be honest. was it the SDA unlock which didnt work or the uspl?
no no no. its the programs. They are written to work on Windows systems. I'm running Ubuntu and I can't find these programs for my OS
Use a Windows PC to do USPL, after that you can always flash from SD-Card.
I'll go by a friends house later on to use his computer to install the USPL.
This "glitch" though is really weird, I tried to see if my phone would start up if I had the hands free plugged in, and it did start up. . So as long as something is plugged into the USB the phone will start up with the sim in. If nothing is plugged in, it won't

Charging on laptop - phone made calls by itself

My touch screen stopped working yesterday and Ive been trying little fixes here and there to make my phone easier to use. I charge my phone through my usb on my laptop and I woke up this morning and saw my phone made 8 calls throughout the night to multiple people. How did this happen??? I woke up and saw my contacts were open which seems like that something on the touch screen interface works somewhere, just not to the touch. What the hell can I do to stop this besides turning on airplane mode?
Have you hard reset your phone? maybe even try to flash a new rom? maybe jsut something became corrupted....
If I hard reset it without being able to use the touch screen after will i be able to get in the phone?
Maybe you have an exotic thing for winmo in your device - a virus?...
It only happens when my phone is plugged into my laptop.
So it only happens when its cradled, its not right, I agree with the above, sounds like you have a virus, format SD and flash different rom.
I have never heard of this happening by accident, either you have some sticky keys or something is kicking in and dialling people, unless your home network is seriously being abused and your phone is being hacked via the laptop (highly unlikely) but all the same, I wouldn’t rule it out.
Hope you get it sorted...

Windows Phone 7 Error Code: C101002E

I have been having this error where the phone prevents itself from booting, showing a screen that tells you to connect to PC , for a while. Only way to fix it is to remove the battery and restart but that is just a temporary fix. What exactly is this? What causes it? Is it a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I get an exchange or do you guys think this will be fixed with the next update?
Thanks
Never seen that error message. I'd say reset once, if you see it again, get it exchanged.
Yea this my 4th HD7 it shows the error code when you plug it to the PC in zune. Funny thing is that I owned a speck case and I reboot the phone in the case till then. This time i pulled the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone on without the case and it is working fine. I guess the case is pushing down a button or sth and that prevents the phone from working properly. Very weird..
Hey there! I've been having the same error! This is my 2nd HD7, I own the Speck case and I do not think its the case. This issue is happening on mine with or without the case. Pulling out the battery just doesn't cut it. I have to:
1. Remove the battery
2. Plug the USB Charger
3. Insert the battery back
4. Turn on.
I love the phone but this is really frustrating!
Edit: Too bad I can't post the link to youtube due to member status. But the video is up just search for it "c101002e"
Just happened to me too. First day using the Speck case too and i let the battery drain till it died and upon reboot it showed the 'plug into computer' screen. Hope it is just the case causing problems.
did you all updated the sd card ?
you could try to reflash this rom (if you are on t-mobile USA ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810346
Take this one "RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE"
its just the stock tmous rom .
Weird coincidence that all of y'all are using the same case. Maybe it is damaging on of the buttons?

somewhere on the board they did tell that this case make the buttons really sensitive and it make the phone unusable .
theres a thread on tmobiles forums talking about the same issue, and most if not all the people there have the speck case. Someone says they tested it with and without the case and came to conclusion that the case is putting too much pressure on the camera button, which seems to be causing the problem.
would post the link to the other forum but i cant find it lol

Yea that was pretty much what was happening to mine. Although I remember trying to boot it without the case and having the same error before so what I did that I did a hard reset ( press power and both volume buttons at the same time) then when the phone booted, I rebooted it without the case immediately and its been working no problem since. I am pretty sure that case pushes the camera button since it grips the phone very tightly. I even overloaded the ram by opening lots of apps that runs in the background and then rebooted but it is working perfectly fine as of right now. Weird.. I am guessing its just a weird bug not a hardware defect.
I found it in a post in the mozart forums, so i tried it, as you do, cause its something new to play with cause my TP2 didnt like swimming, but anyway it was something about hoding down the camera button while power on, and it brought up a picture of a phone and cable and instructing you to plug it into a pc and when i did it started Zune and something about restoration error, so like in the previous posts it may be a stuck or faulty button somewhere on the phone that is causing it.
i didnt watch the video so if that had it in it never mind
cheers
Today 11 April 2011 I got notification about NoDo update for my phone.
It is HTC Mozart on Orange France network.
The pre-NoDo update was istalled about 20 days before.
The update got stuck at step 8. It seemed I had an unusable phone. In a periodic reboot mode into the update screen.
I checked on my W7 64 bit laptop the relevant backup folder, where all my phone data was supposed to have gotten backed up during the update. The folder was empty.
I therefore realized my phone got its rom corrupted during the update and I could not get back my pre-NoDo backup, since this latter was missing from my laptop.
Zune was on no help, stating a C101002E error.
The Windows Phone Support Tool was also of no use, reporting an error code while trying to restore my data.
XDA-forum provided me with a solution:
I went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000781
and downloaded both bootloaders with relative roms.
After getting into the bootloader screen (red, green and blue screen), I installed the first ROM provided by Ansar. This could not install succesfully.
With the bootloader tool I could nevertheless confirm my idea I did not have anymore a functioning rom into my phone.
The second rom, the one ending with "Signed_by_ansar" could be succesfully installed.
I now have a Mozart fully functioning.
I had to restore my windows live account, Gmail, etc. My apps did not come back up after syncing with Zune.
I realized I just lost all my SMSs and home screen settings.
My phone was originally network unlocked and remained as such.
I got a notification that there is an official update for my phone the first time I rebooted. I will wait before attempting this update. The ROM by Ansar has got anyway copy/paste, being a NoDo ROM.
The ROM from Ansar, although for Orange France, removes the Orange splash screen when the phone starts. I guess if I need to use warranty on this phone right now I may have some issues with Orange France. Maybe when I update the phone following the update notification I got, I will re-establish a fully certified Orange ROM.
i9o pls and any one pls help me , i faced problem with [260] connection problem between my hd7 and pc vista 64 bit, actually i followed to steps in forum (error code C101002E) and drivers were installed (htc usb sync) before i started to flash rom NoDo bootloader 1, But no way still the problem [260]. i also tried another RUU htc asia xxx707xxx. because i have spl 1.23.2250.0(112138).also some links of RUU to download signed by ansar disappeared in rapid and other sourses, pls help to solve connection problem
Microsoft has release the Windows Phone Support Tool to fix this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530409
WPS doesnt help in my case, Im malaysian and thought that need Asia RUU, but when i tried Europian RUU it nicely works, maybe because of i have 8G phone. the RRU is RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE(2)

Do you know what this tool does to the computer?
I would try it but honestly don't want to do it before I have info what it does to my PC settings. Unfortunately MS doesn't share with this knowledge.
Hi everyone!
I have a big problem with my new hd7.
Just bought, and wired for the very first charging but the phone continues to restart by itself.
Tried a hard reset, to set it in download mode and fix with Windows Phone Support Tool but still nothing to do. Even tried to install a new ROM but at the first start it continues with its loop.
In download mode zune tried to upgrade to nodo but it shows the error C101002E.
Don't know what else to do. Any idea? It's new!

[Q] Error Code: 80072EFD

I have HTC MOZART, NODO Build, unbranded in indonesia.
Now my question is, once every 2-3 weeks, I got his kind of error. Basically The internet connection is gone when this happens, and I cannot update anything, unless of course I connect to zune in my laptop and use usb for internet connection shared from the laptop.
The only way to fix this AFAIK is by restarting the device (or remove the battery, and put back in)... hold the on button until off and turn on again is suffice though....
I dont mind restarting the phone within that interval, it is just weird and I tried to google and looked it up everywhere, I have not got the right explanation. Restarting the phone WORKS every time btw.
Anybody knows what this error is?
UPDATE:
I see that many others experience this and still no answer
