Can you be more specific about the driver patch? Is it somthing you can pass along to those comfortable with regisry tweekd and xml edits, etc?

please for the rest of us, what driver do you think is causing the problem???

[Mr. X]

The drive that is most likely the root cause of this is htcservices.dll, its not able to be cabbed in its a module and must be cooked in. in new drivers from the Verizon MR1, sprint MR1 and now the Verizon MR2 all have a version of this drive that causes the device to hang and never wake up. replacing this driver with an older version makes SOD virtually non existent.

Yes the device may take more then a few miliseconds to wake up still on rare cases if its busy, say maybe 1 second instead of immediately but it will not freeze in a sleeping state with this driver patched to an older version.

So has anyone found any custom taskbars that work with this ROM yet?
Iv tried a couple but they dont work at all.
Wonder if the certifications are different or something??

Hey Guys,

Here's the problem I've run into, I unlocked my device then updated the ROM to Verizon's MR2. Now the device remains stuck on the white splashscreen with green HTC letters. I attempted to pull the battery and hold the volume down key so the computer would recongize it but it does not. Please let me know if I can try something else to restore my phone because right now it's just an expensive paperweight.

Thanks,
jack

Go into bootloader screen....from power off, hold vol down and red end/power button. Once in the mulit-colored screen, reflash the MR1 update.

To run the MR2, it appears your phone must be LOCKED. To run Mr.X's fix, you must be HSPL unlocked.

I had to flash MR1, relock, run MR2, then re-unlock.

you have to be locked to successfully flash the MR2 rom. so, put your phone into bootloader mode and relock it

Thanks guys...when I power it on while holding the volume down key and End key it stays in the bootloader menu for a second then goes to the hard reset menu. Is there another key sequence I should be pressing?

Install the sdk certs first.

It should only go to hard reset if you're hitting vol down + end key + send key....hmmmmm

While power is on, hit vol down + end key + reset button (under battery cover)

EDIT: also try razorlove's method in the next post (need to hold the buttons down for a sec).
