Help with my HTC Desire Z ROM firmware please - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys,i really do need some help from anyone who has been able to reflash over a faulty ROM firmware on their android phone.
I own a HTC Desire Z which is fully unlocked to ALL networks here in the UK.My problem with my phone is that the letters N & J on my on-screen touch pad don't work when holding the phone up right to text but they work when i tilt the phone horizontle the 2x letters work no problem.The slide out keypad works no problem as well.
I phoned HTC UK Support and the guy told me that it's a fault or problem to do with the ROM firmware and it needs reflashing,i went to my local phone repair shop and the guy verified this but told me that he doesn't do the ROM reflashing anymore.
I've never attempted any phone modding or rooting on HTC and Android devices although when i had the iphone 4s i successfully jailbreaked it using the relevant pc software.
Which software do i need to be able to reflash my phones ROM firmware please guys and is there a step by step tutorial i can follow that will make it as easy as possible ?
Thank so much fellas

Welcome to forums
You are the first 2011 member I see!
You can try first a hard reset, perhaps an application is messing around with your Leo, also check the battery as well.
I would strongly recommend you to upgrade ROM.
Have a read here for a start.
Good luck,

Hey there,
It appears you are using the latest HTC stock rom, which works well.
Did you download that rom from HTC website or Orange, as your phone is orange branded yes?
If you are new to installing custom (non HTC roms) then i wouldnt recommend you do this yet, or you will end up bricking your device.
Is your phone new? Did it come with the 3.14 rom on it or did you upgrade this yourself. Have you dropped the device or played around with it?
You said you have done a hard reset and this does not help? If this is the case and the HD2 is in warranty i would get it checked out.
Before you do this however, check that your sd card is not corrupt and that your sim card is working correctly (try someone elses or get your provider to have a look)
Cheers.
hey thanks for helping me umm i upgraded the phone from 2 to 3.14 from the tmobile site the sd and the sim r fine i check them in other phones, its 4 5 months old i never dropped or got any water near it and i have no clue on spl, hard spl, flash, non htc roms or rom for that matter i am new at this i read alot of things on this but still dont know how to do it plz help me im going crazy and i didnt take any warranty for thew phone i called them and they will charge me so i cant
hello there don't know too much about roms and hspl and all that but i know that all tmobile phones are covered for 1 year from date of purchase so just call them and tell them its not working they'll try to walk you thru resetting and updating ...tell them you already did all that and you would like a new one sent to you. you just have to pay shipping for it. i found that out by calling them 3 months after getting my hd2 and camera went crazy. 4 days later new one came in the mail.

[Q] Warranty Repair + Deisre Update Question

Hello, New here, checked through the suggested threads but they do not entirely answer my questions. Hope any of you guys can help.
I am with o2, and have recently handed my HTC Desire in for repair under warranty as it has the motherboard fault where it reboots continually in a loop!!
My HTC Desire has 2.2 Froyo and is not rooted, totally stock.
I know for most Mobile manufactuers, it is normal procedure when a phone is in for repair for the tech to install the latest software, in my case 2.3.3 Gingerbread. As 2.3.3 for the desire is not an OTA update, and comes with many disclaimers, will the HTC Tech guys still install?
I don't want this update, as it will stop me rooting my phone, which is something I plan to do once I get it back. If I would have known prior to handing my phone in, that HTC have blocked the ability to root the Desire then I would have certainlly made it clear that I do not want stock 2.3.3 from them, rather use a custom Rom with all the nice bits that Gingerbread and Sense give, rather then the stripped out version from HTC!!
If I get my Desire back with 2.3.3, do I have any grounds to refuse the phone and ask for a new one seeing as 2.3.3 from HTC can't be reverted?
Thanks
Ryan

[Q] Htc Sensation Can not Open After Official Rom Update

Hi,
I 've got one Sensation from Malaysia, after a week the official rom update warning come up to the phone, I confirmed it, but after the update phone is stunt at the beginning green HTc logo.
I had the exact same problem with my Desire HD and I had solved it with gold card then I had installed a new stock rom with gold car.
However, as far as i see there is no specific gold card method for Sensation and I am really stuck right now.
I would appreciate anyone who has an adive on this.
Thanks in advance....
seems like a bad download..
you can try to run the RUU of your device if its available
IS there anyone who can help me on this, i really can not find a solution, i tried to flash the rom however it gives the identity error.
I would really appreciate if you have some comments.
Regards
My phone also can't install an official update too, but it because of my phone is already S-Off.
I did not try S 0ff or any other option, but I do not know wheter I can do it while I am only access to the bootloader menu.
I am not obsessed with the official I can also try cooked roms however I just request an advice how I should move forward at this stage.
I only want to get the phone back to the working condition ...
I would really appreciate if any expert can comment on that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
As long you did not root your phone, then just send it back for warranty claim.

Thanks for your comment, but unfortunately the phone bought from abroad.
Warranty is not valid in my country.
I had the exact same problem with my DEsire HD and had solved with stock rom & gold card combination.
However there is no gold card for Sensation...

prob should post in the sensation section im sure you could get more help in those threads! maybe even read a lil and you may find the answer to your problem
It got problem because you have update OS by yourself it can be a software problem so go to the HTC service centre for your OS 4.0 Update they will update your OS in a correct way it also can be a battery problem. I got face with problem my phone's battery got damage and got affect in the software because I update my HTC Incredible S software by myself and got problem in battery and software just because it was not officially updated by HTC, sometimes it happens so you can go to the service centre and my advice is you dont try to do anything by yourself.

[Q] CWM for Lg Viper?

I currently have an LG Viper Running on Official LG 4.0.4 ICS package and i'm rooted. I'm looking at ROM Manager right now and there seems to be no CWM Recovery for my phone. This spurs two questions in my mind:
1. Is it safe to flash a CWM built for a different phone but same make?
-The options i'm given made by LG are: LG Connect 4g MS840, LG Lucid VS840, LGE Esteem 4g, LGE Optimus M+, LGE Revolution 4g, LGE Spectrum 4g
2. If not, is there a workable CWM for the phone? If there isn't, can I expect one anytime soon?
Simple answer is no unless someone decides to port it.

I know this is an old thread but flashing any sister device recovery will bootloop the viper. We do finally have custom recovery abs basic roms if you downgrade back to gingerbread...but as of now ics dev is on halt, major locked boot loader. I already had my viper replaced six times and had terrible customer service experiences , so I found a number for a sprint corporate executive, mailed me a Samsung galaxy nexus 4g lte the next day. I'm pleased, although it's a year old phone, none of these issues, bigger screen, much better resolution, 32 gig internal sd, :/ 4.1.2 vanilla, and more mods roms and kernels then I can try :/. A lot of us purchased this viper based on specs, which seem great, unfortunately the phone isn't...
