well if it wont turn on at all, then no theres no way to see.

however, the most common "brick" on tmous (t mobile us) phones is flashing a non tmous radio. the symptoms are.... won't power on, no charge light when plugged in to charger, and shows up on the pc as qualcomm.

there is currently no known fix.

you could get it fixed under warranty, but you will probably need to go through htc, t mo probably won't help if you don't have a proof of purchase.however you proceed, don't mention flashing, cos they will charge you a few hundred dollars for a new circuit board.
[HD2 General] DrVladson:
Flashing through JTAG interface will be able to solve the problem?

If yes, are there circuits and software?

Or only specialized devices and software?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EvilKid:
Hi,

I have a strange issue and if someone has seen it I'd be very grateful if he/she can provide me with a resolution.

I was using Energy's rom Standard from 28th of May until the other day I decided to flash a new rom hoping it would have some of the bugs fixed.

I did it the same way I do it every time: downloaded the latest version, moved the BLACIMG.nbh to the SD card and flashed from there. Passed the initial setup and then do a hard reset and do the initial setup again.

This time after the first initial setup the HTC Sence refused to start. Whatever is on the screen where the Sense should be stays there. The Start menu is working, wireless is working, File explorer is working, SD card is working, GPS is working ( all of the above accessed through start menu ).

I thought it was a 1 time thing and did the hard reset - it did nit fix the issue.

I downloaded another rom ( from 1st of July ) - same thing. I tried my previous rom ( since I kept the install file last time ) but I got the same issue. The phone says Starting HTC Sense ... and it stays like this forever.

Whatever is on the screen - stays there frozen.

Also I somehow managed to get it working for a little while by connecting the phone to a PC via Active Sync ( HTC Sense is working fine - tried customizing it - wokring ok ) but it does not survive a reboot.

So if anyone has seen this please let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you sync any kind of info like contacts, emails, etc?

Have you imported PIM or config data through UC?

You can try to hard rest your device and start it without the Micro SD inserted.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
Did you try a Task29?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EvilKid:
I tried restoring a full backup ( with SPB Backup ) over the new roms as well as the old one that was working - no success.

Will try to boot without the SD card when I get home ( currently @ work ;) )

@Smobbo - sorry but what is Task29 ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tamnteh:
Use Task29 to format your phone memory. it will delete all the data in the phone memory before we flash new rom. it is to make sure the old roms information flashed in our HD not left in our phone. it will make our HD clear. it is good for our phone
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EvilKid:
well I did try a flash and before the first boot I removed the SD card - it fixed the issue.

thanks guys.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
When I call my voicemail [using google voice] it wants me to enter my pin.

1. Isn't there a way to program the dialer to pause, then enter the pin automatically?

2. I notice that the phone acts very quirky when on a call. In order to do anything when on a call I have to turn it so that it is in portrait mode, not landscape because it sort of 'sleeps' once I am on a call.

3. Being the phone wants to sleep when I am on a call, I can't seem to find a way to get back to the phone app and hit the RED 'end' button at times ..

Sort of hard to explain but maybe someone can do a better job if you have found the same problem. I love this BIG phone. I wouldn't even object to an extended battery.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Don't know about point 1 but i have just read that when making a phone call it has to be in portrait mode and as you bring it up to your face the proximity sensors will turn off your display to prevent unintentional touches is that what you were on about or have i got it all wrong :)
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
I don't understand all the technical stuff but to hold it, it has to be in portrait mode, but even if you have the speaker on and it is on it's back on the table, you can't press the keypad [once the call has begun] unless it is in portrait mode. I would like to turn off 'sleep' while I am on a call .. REALLY annoying.

SUGGESTION: :p Don't make any prank calls until you know that phone inside and out because sometimes hanging up the phone is close to impossible. Unless it's just me.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
AHHHH so its you makeing all the prank calls to me LOL.

It dosen't say anything in the manual on turning off the sleep i will do a google and have a look :)
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
sssshhhh ... don't tell .. I have lots more calls to make :D

But seriously .. I called to check my voice mail and somehow the dialpad went off the screen .. Tried pushing buttons, but there apparently isn't one that will bring it back up .. Mean while I hear the recording saying the same "enter your 4 digit pin over and over." I would if I could find the dial pad again !!! Same if you are leaving a message .. if the screen sleeps, you are fumbling around trying to get it to come back up to click END.
[Streak 5 General] zero.fx:
Yes i have had quite some issues with it as a phone, specially when it rings but the screen is still in sleep mode for some reason. So you have to turn it on from sleep then hit the unlock before answering. This is a long process to accept phone calls, also when you answer the phone my ears always seem to hit the screen which triggers the apps menu....

I have had it since launch day and been trying to use it as a primary phone but i don't think thats working out. But as an MID its amazing I love using it, the screen is nice and great using it a a ebook reader.
[Streak 5 General] Stephen Flanagan:
When I get a phone call my screen comes on, unlocked and ready to answer.

My slight issues are my face is too small to go from the ear piece to the mic LoL
[Streak 5 General] AndyGlosta:
I too am having the same issues as many on here.

A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G is what it is!

I can;t even hear anything out of the earpiece in the phone, although i can if i turn it on speaker...not a happy bunny as now i have to wait for a replacement!

One question tho, which has been driving me insane...

Does anyone know if there is some kind of 'file-explorer' for accessing the conent on the SD card?

The only way i've found so far to even get close to the files is through 'QuickOffice'... Would've thought they'd be a more 'convenient' approach to it...

Any ideas?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Yesterday I purchased a program called 'screeb.' It is supposed to be able to prevent 'sleep' when you are actually still using it among other things like battery saving things .. I haven't tested it yet but maybe others have ??
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
There are several free file explorers in the Market .. As for sound.. are you sure you are putting the right end to your ear ?? Seriously .. It would be easy to make that mistake when everything is dark ..
[Streak 5 General] AndyGlosta:
:) Yeah, definetly got it at the right ear ;)

Will have a look round for a file explorer then, i just thought it would have came with one...silly me! lol!
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
If I had the phone on speaker and put it to my ear it would deafen me I think. Speaker is VERY loud. Could it be that you have the TTY feature turned on? [ I think that is what it is called, not even sure what it does.] I just can't understand why it won't work as a phone.

I have been trying to use BT only when using it as a phone. I am very afraid my earrings are going to scratch the screen.

I was trying to decide if maybe I should put the sim from my streak back into my iphone and then move the sim from my HTC Shift into the Streak until I got more used to using it. Especially if I am going to use it a lot for voice. I also use my phone for data more than voice.

ALSO .. wondering what an extended battery would be like .. Make it harder to hold? or give you something to hold on to... Right now my hand has to really stretch to grasp the phone ..

ANYWAY ... enough with all this thinking .. I should have been at work 15 minutes ago and I haven't even gotten in the shower.

[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Just got off the phone with Tmobile and they turned on Visual Voice for me. Good. Next on the agenda is when a call ends getting back the dial pad so I can hang up ...
[Streak 5 General] AuirR:
1. You can long press * on dialpad, it will show "p", then enter pin.

It can also be used in the contacts (just type p).

2. no idea...

3. Tried power on key ?
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Maybe I throw my hands in the air to fast, but I shut off google voice and went back to tmobile 'visual voicemail.' It is sort of the same but I will miss google's voice to text translation via email SOOOOO MUCH ... It is probably the most entertaining application that I have ever had. I like to forward them to the person who left the voicemail and say "what?????"
[Streak 5 General] AuirR:
It seems funny. But I can't use google voice here ;-(
[Streak 5 General] Slick1974:
My Streak is doing exactly the same thing as the original poster. I can access the phone, dial a number and make the call normally, but the screen goes dead and i can access the dial pad to end the call etc. I have tried pressing all the buttons including power but it does not work and I have to pull the battery. Did anyone find a fix or explainantion for this... please please please...

off the screen.
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Login to google.com/voice and go to your settings. Click the Phone Tab and and the edit button on whatever number you have GV forward to. Then click advanced settings. There you can change the voicemail access requirements with relation to having to use a pin or not.

The 2.2 upgrade fixed ALL my phone issues ........... I think ... I hear there are some problems with bluetooth and voice dial but those are workable .. The disappearing "HANG-UP" and "ANSWER" buttons made me want to throw the phone across the room.
[Streak 5 General] shEEEsh:
Just found that with 2.2 if you go into the settings menu, selectr "accessibility' and you can choose that the power button hangs up the phone when you are on a call. Maybe that is an option in other versions. Wish I checked accessibility before ..

* able to remeber where you were reading when you close the app

* have dictionary lookup

I'm very new to Android (just got an HTC G1 with Android 1.6 from Craigs List) and I was wandering if there is a way to safely upgrade to Android 2.1.

I truly appreciate your help.
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
It's perfectly safe if you read and understand all the instructions before you do anything. If there's any part where you aren't 100% sure what you're doing and what the aim of it is, do more research before you press a single key. All the information is in the wiki here (link up top) and the wiki at cyanogenmod.com
[G1 General] lbcoder:
One must realize that NOT ALL INSTRUCTIONS are correct. SOME instructions can brick your phone.

Using this is brick-proof: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717874

HOWEVER, your phone needs to be set up to work with it (the setup is safer for preparing for this than most others).

Installation of 1.33.2005 SPL aka "DEATHSPL" is the most dangerous step anyone puts in their instructions. The above link DOES NOT require 1.33.2005. It works with all SPLs, including all of the "perfectly safe" SPLs -- 0.95.x000 and 1.33.2003.
[G1 General] geora:
Thank you for the great responses.

I read a couple of instructions and looks like I have a lot more learning to do before I can touch anything. For example there are terms like rooting, flashing and other terms that I have no idea where to start from.

Do you know of any video that shows all the process?
[G1 General] BuddhaTeh1337:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS9l2XVG0iY

i cant verify the files, as i just used the wiki and understood from past flashing experience =]
[G1 General] ezterry:
And to add if you use this SPL.. and then decide that (after more reading debugging ect.) it would be easier to use dangerSPL; its a simple mater of using fastboot to flash 1.33.2005 and any future radios without the risks in most peoples instructions.

Information on 1.33.2003 is in CONFIRMED!! BRICKS: Radio and SPL + New SAFETY theory read a few pages around that post to ensure you understand what you are doing and what you want to install.

The important thing is to understand the importance of compatibility between radio->SPL->recovery if you want to flash these without (most) of the risk..

The other thing is to keep focused when flashing a bootloader (spl) and don't get side tracked, of start flashing other things since you last verified the state of your phone. If you can't do this best stick with what works now.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND videos.

The processes you need to follow are NOT CONDUCTIVE to being learned through videos and the PEOPLE who make the videos, by and large, are RETARDS.
[G1 General] raven_raven:
Unfortunately there isn't a safe method to update G1 to 2.1 ROM. You will have to change SPL and propably a radio and when doing this you can brick phone. However, there is no chance to brick phone other way. You can try to flash as many ROMs as you want, you can do what you want, there is always recovery when you can just wipe and flash a new ROM.
[G1 General] ezterry:
1) while it may take more foot work you can flash a 2.1 rom without spl/radio changes

2) not safe well this depends.. is it safe to walk on a trail next to a cliff without a gaurd rail.. maybe not if you are blind but for most people it is... the problem is many people are blind in the android world.. and thus fall off the cliff.. frequently feeling they did everything correct without realizing they forgot the most important part..

das kann im grunde nur 3 ursachen haben:

1. recht unwahrscheinlich: dein touch screen ist nicht richtig ausgerichtet, einfach mal nachjustieren ueber die einstellungen

2. sound wird auch vom radio rom geregelt, evtl ist da beim flashen was schief gelaufen, z.b. sim karte oder sd karte im geraet vergessen, und dann kann sich das radio schon mal verabschieden.

3. und am wahrscheinlichsten: der laustaerke regler an der linken seite des geraets hat einen schaden und moechte immer runterregeln, das wuerde dann erklaeren, wieso das geraet nichts anderes mehr akzeptiert, weil ja schon permanent eine taste gedrueckt wird und natuerlich auch, wieso der ton weg ist. einfach mal geraet oeffen und sich die ecke anschauen und ggf reinigen.

Sorry for writing german.

I'm a beginner in flashing or installing wm os; I destroyed my father's PDA by trying an update to Win mobile os 5.4. In the Internet, the original O² OS could`t be found. I tried everything half a year to get it work and realized now, that windows xp ist my best friend using updates/ upgrades. Then I found 6.5.5 - It works

1.) So: Thank you for your solution. I try open and clean it.

2.) The memorycard was outside the PDA

3.) what is a radio rom?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
the radio rom:

you might have realized that during the booting process, there are 3 numbers, R, G, D

R shows you the radio version currently installed. D: shows the OS rom, meaning the rom you flashed, WM6.5.5 the file you flashed is named nk.nbf and the radio rom would be named radio_.nbf and the flashing process is exactly the same.

ok, but what does it do?

the radio rom handles all the hardware related things, meaning the OS rom uses drivers and the radio rom to actually handle the device, the GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, camera, sound, microphone...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] 1021380:
sometimes it works well (no sound problem)...

I've got Radio rom 1.12.00 should I upgrade it to 1.15.00?

need i to flash radio rom like nk.nbf file or is the radio rom included in d-twos wm 6.5.5 rom?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
radio roms are generally not included in the roms here. but after downloading a radio, the process of flashing is the same, remove the sim and sd card, put the device into bootloader mode, flash using maupgradeut_noid, after flashing, perform a hard reset, pressing power+reset and camera+record and in the menu set No Yes Yes.

and yes, you might want to upgrade the radio, the 1.15.00 is the newest version and seems to work great for most people including myself.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
on a device with broken mail button, you have to connect to the device using mtty (in the wiki). for that connection you have to put the device into bootloader mode, connect the device, start mtty, set it to usb or wceusb, whichever is provided, 115200, 8,1,no,none,none, hit ok and then it connects. press enter and it should show a prompt

USB>

type (not copy & paste), type:

task 28

task 0

then your device should hard reset and then restart, if it doesn't, just soft reset.

i just wanted to verify the 2 lines, but unfortunately, the wiki seems down atm. you should wait till tomorrow then.
