Just an update in my saga: I flashed back to stock Verizon ROM and did a *228, but still I have no LED notifications, no wake up button on top doesn't work, and the hardware reset button doesn't work.

I'm absolutely convinced that something in the Android boot loader has overwritten hardware (reprogrammed a chip or something).

Just a caution to everyone else: HaRet can load things that modify your hardware! Be careful, always let someone else try the build before you put them on your phone. I should have never jumed the gun!

htc-msm-android@20100324_120347 has altered my Touch Pro 2 in negative and possibly unreversable ways (so far there are only 2 others that this has happened to that I know of)

Wow sorry to hear that, I wouldnt even try to install Haret if I didnt have insurance on my phone. Seems kind of crazy considering the phone retails for $489! Does installing a different kernal and zimage do anything?

Good luck

Nevermind i figured it out, make sure u have the newest rootfs.img file and that the code for the overclocking is literally behind the keyboard code in the startup.txt file. Anywhere else hasnt worked for me. Thanks.

Running Sprint TP2 - Didn't get data the first time, removed the sim card and data worked, but then when I put it back in it stopped working.

Didn't most people claim that after achieving 3G one time you could put the sim card back and it would work? Any advise?

I don't know if you have tried, but I was told to have you try a Cold boot which means pulling battery, and leaving it out for a bit before putting it back in. And then seeing if that fixes your issue. I would pull the battery and leave it out for a couple of minutes and then put back in. Of course not plugged into anything during this time. Report back so we all know.

Sorry again you are having your issues.

Some have claimed, but I would imagine it would fail sooner or later. Do you have a reason to have the SIM in? Why fight it?

My Contacts are not showing up in the Android OS. The only contacts that I have the ability to get are the ones that are tied to my gmail account. Any idea how I can retrieve my contacts in Android mode?

you have to sync your contacts to gmail while in windows mobile. it only takes a minute to do that. instructions here http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299
then when you boot into android and it does it's auto sync, all your contacts will be there.

I haven't had the chance to leave the battery out for more than a few minutes yet. The other odd thing I notice is that if I hit the top wake button while it is on, it turns the screen backlight off and I can't get the backlight to turn back on. I know the phone is still alive though because "My Mobiler" remote program shows my screen and I can even touch the screen to navigate blindly. This is all through Windows Mobile of course.

Another thing to try. And I understand this is just reaching. But I have heard of others back in just WM land itself that first flash doesn't work. I would recommend ya try this while we are hashing things out. Flash back to the Stock rom like 3 times in a row. Flash once, then when done, flash again and then again. I would while the display is still working for you, do the actual Clear Storage in Settings instead of the button hard reset. Then let me know.
