Hi
I recently down loaded and install an Xda II ROM upgrade v172181 (26.5MB) from the UK O2 website.
After the installation finished my XDA11 is no longer working. The screen is completely greyed out
but you can make out the word Serial at the top of the screen and v1.06 at the bottom of the screen.
Other wise it looks totally dead. I have tried the soft and hard reboot (by pressing power button and reset button simultaneously) with out effect.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Put it back in the cradle as re-start the upgrade. Also make sure the cradle is connected directly to a USB port on your PC and not through a hub, and that the power supply to the cradle is connected.
Life but no action
Hi
thanks for the advise. I now have life in my machine where there was none .
I tried the rom update again but I now get an error 101 stating it can't find my XDA and as for the XDA it stay onat the start screen showing the o2 water sceen.
So if you can work your majic again I might get the benift of this mean machine I have only had it for two days
Thanks again
Since updating Rom, my XDAII keeps locking up. Only when turned off. I cannot turn back on without doing a soft reset. Sometimes 2 resets are required to bring back to life. I have been doing this 4 or 5 times a day. If it is in my car cradle and turned on, it does not lock up.
Has anyone experienced this and possibly have a solution?
Thanks

Whilst the boot loading time is increased this is not my main problem, I have no real issue with this at this stage. It is the continual locking up of my Xda when turned off that is my problem. Can't turn on agian with a soft reset.
It's not locked, just the powerbutton isn't working. It will come to live in the cradle and if you get a phone call right ?It's a non compatible program in ext rom. Clear ext rom and re-install programs one by one.

After I turn device off via power button, it does not turn back on , but all the normal LED's are still lit!.. as if the phone was still working. I then do a soft reset using SR hole, which goes through normal bootup,, and unit stays on until I power off..(edit.. After 5 minutes, without continually using it,it just turned itself off!) I can't power on without SR. Batteries have been checked OK, and show up fully charged,settings for screen are OK,,. When I telephone my device from an exterior line,, there is no ring on my device during that blackout process, so even though I see LED's,, in essence, my unit isn't really powered up? Well, hoping someone else has had this type of erie experience, that can help. Thanks,, can 3rd party software do this to a device?
It's a new year so try a new rom or do a hard reset first and if that doesent work then flash it with a different rom and install 3rd party app's one at a time to see if there is a conflici with software
Oh and Happy New Year and good luck and report back with your effort's and result's
The Reaper
Ok, this is a slightly weird but VERY annoying issue..
Today I stopped being able to turn my TP2 on from standby.
What actually happens is when I push the power button, the phone activates, but the screen remains blank.
Pushing the volume buttons turns it up and down ( I can hear the tones)
Hang up and other buttons work ok.
The soft rest button does nothing.
Pulling out the battery restarts the phone, and the screen then works fine. Power button can then be used to turn the screen off, but will not turn it back on again
So long as I then keep the phone awake, all is well, as soon as it sleeps, I am back to the same situation.
Problem number 3 is that the Charging LED is no longer lighting up, but the phone is charging as normal.
I have hard reset the phone, and also flashed the latest WWE ROM from HTC, to no effect.
Charging LED is off even when the phone is shut down.
errrm...
Any ideas???

OMG, i am having the EXACT same issue. powerbutton will sleep phone but not initiate the screen to turn back on, openeing keyboard lights up the keys, closing lights up the buttons under the screen. Ive also hard reset etc.
Any help!?!?
I'm gonna try task29 and see what happens, could that be what caused it? Thats the only new thing ive donw
hmm, also noticed that when booting android, i get an error message: Something used micropkit_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Since the problem deals with the screen/sleep could this be a hint?
BTW: task29 doesnt help at all =[ cant anyone help?
Are you using Windows Mobile or Android?
Hard reset and see if the problem goes away.
running windows mobile and android. Cant boot into android because I receive that error message previously stated... Hard reseting doesnt help =[
Running WM, and I've done 2 hard resets and a ROM flash.
Interestingly enough, the last thing I did before having problems was to run up and play with the latest version of Android, using the cab install version.
Is there some code for that (perhaps used for the power button to intercept the press) that could be remaining in rom after the reset???
Clutching at straws here...
Ok, found this at the end of the Android thread:

thanks a lot, man!
this pretty much solves it - mines' also working now
Note: Flashing hard spl seems to have fixed mine too!
Hmm... could this HSPL also cause a problem with not connecting the device to PC? (device is not reckognized)
Hard SPL Reflash
Hey there, did you just reflash Hard SPL and evertything was fine? or did you hard reset and reflash your ROM also after reinstalling Hard SPL?
Thanks!
Michael

Thanks a bunch for posting hat here bbilko!! will try when I get home from my classes
Well i tried flashing the ROM, and hard rest but that did NOT work
Hard SPL on top of those did, someone else will have to test JUST using Hard SPL to fix the problem

I just booted up into my current rom(firestorm) and didnt let it sleep, plugged it in and flashed hard-spl, and it works now!! So dont hard-reset, just flash over your current rom.
Hmmmmm...
Just out of interest (as I'm always updating and playing with android) which version screwed with the phone?
Although it seems to be resolved, I'd rather not have to go though the bother of re-installing HSPL
I was using the cab install version
Project Android 031710v2.cab
Just to note further, before using it I had not installed Hard SPL, nor had I flashed my TP2 to any official ROMS
When I plugged out the charger this morning and turned off the wifi my phone suddenly crashed and started to reboot. I put the phone in my pocket and didn't think much about it seeing as this is a very common problem for a lot of people and it usually happens to me once or twice a week.
One hour or so later I pick up the phone to check something on the web and then press the home button to get me back to the home screen. Nothing happens. I press it again. Nothing happens. I have to then press the back button a bunch of times in order to get back to the homescreen...
After testing this a bit more I realize that this behavior doesn't go away, it's permanent, the button just doesn't work any more, which in itself is odd for a software button... Not only that but my lockscreen is gone as well even though it's set to "drag" in the settings and the "minimalistic text" widget on my homescreen sometimes have trouble loading up...
Rebooting the phone does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix this or even know why this has happened?
(ps. the phone is a swedish yakjuxw)
it may be static on your screen pull out your battery an presst the power button repeatedly for about 30 secconds insert ther battery anr seenif it works. Report back to me.

I pulled out the battery and mashed the powerbutton for about a minute, but the problem is still there.

Nope, the device is stock.
I saw a dutch user on a dutch forum with the same issue. a Factory reset solved this for him... Not sure what caused it and it's a bummer if it happens to you but at least it worked for him.
Try using an app that puts your device in landscape mode and see if it works then ans when you switch back to portrait.

Thanks for the replies, but I did a factory reset and it solved the problem.
Had a similar issue when i just got the phone, systemui kept crashing and when i'd reboot none of the soft keys worked - had to wipe and factory reset as well!
Damn. This happened to me too, just spent forever getting stuff on my phone.
Well it looks like I'll be factory resetting...
