Hi.
My power button broke off and I was not able to soder it and so now I can't turn it off or on. I have a app that will do this for me but what I really need is to put my xda IIs in BOATLOADER without the need to press, power,record button and soft reset. So I'm asking if anyone knows a way for me to do this without the power button. I have searched and seearched and I really need some help here. I'm running WM5 but I am having problems with the backlight and camera and some of my paid software that will not work. So I want to downgrade to the original rom.
I will be watching this post every hour or so, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
that happened to mine, do you want to just like hard resest your device? THe only way is probable to take your battery out and let the internal battery drain!
I took my phone to my local phone repair shop and they charged £15 to it, apparently it was really difficult to do!
Thanks for the reply andy! I thought this forum was way better than this in helping people out. I appreciate your response. I do know how to give it a hard reset by pressing the camera and record button as I do a soft reset. But what I am trying to do is to get my xda to the bootloader position so I can go back to windows 2003se. From what I have read you can only do that by pressing the power button and the other buttons I wrote above. I have no power button so I'm trying to find out another way to roll back to windows 2003se.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks again.
In the magician shipped-roms there's an executable to do this, maybe for your device too? If there's one you'll recognize it at once, just execute & its gone into Bootloader.
Regards, M
I looked and there is none in my ppc. I also copied that file over from a download I found here and it does not do anything. So far I have the WM5 running pretty fast, faster than ever! I just can't get the backlight to work and the camera. Tried every file and nothing gets this fixed. So I have to use my xda with the backlight in full brightness.
Btw, there is a way to hard reset the device so that it will run really fast. I probably will start another thread showing the steps, I think it is so worth doing it cause my xda now movew really quick.
Thanks for all the help!
hi guys,
i've checked the forum, but i'm the only one with this problem (or maybe i just missed it)....
when i switch my BA off from the power botton, it starts powering on and off the screen at intervals of 1-2mins. but when i switch the radio off, it doesnt do this.
this kills my battery!!!
i have no special programs running... (well, maybe SWITCH). but when that isn't running, it still does it. oh.. hard reset... changes nothing!!
please help... it drives me to disperaty :shock:
thx!!
I can't be of help but I am having the exact same problem. Just as you described it. It was running fine for over a week and then it just started. I hope someone can help us.
i posted the begining of my problem somewhere on monday but cant remember where. so.....
on monday, the screen on my tmobile dash messed up, now the top half of the screen has white horizontal lines covering it.
well, i called tmobile and the phone was still under warrenty, so got a like new phone sent and it arived today. I went about unlocking it and upgrading to wm6.1 like i had on my last phone. started out with all sorts of problems sycning and i had to reinstall active sync and that seemed to fix it. continued installing the upgrade, the dos program runs i press the center button and i get the red blue green screen and i know from before that that normally means it isn't working, so i reboot the phone, re sync, and re do it and get the red green blue screen again and the update program says it can recover and it leads me through a four step process, upplug, pull bat, reboot and do it again, only it reboots into the red green blue screen, wouldnt sync and when i turned it off, i couldnt get it to power back up. no response from the phone at all. pulled battery many times and all.
What are my options? I know that i agreed to the statment and i have no one to blame but my self. is there anything i can do? i have 7 days to return the half working phone, and i have a feeling that because its unlocked and has wm6.1 on it that tmobile is going to charge me what ever it will be. I have 200.00 in credit with um, and i feel that those fees will take away from that, leave me with an un usable phone, and no money to do anything about it !
a brainstorm, could i just tell tmobile that i got the phone that way? or would they see through my lies?
please please please please help!!!
and thanks a ton in advance.

Okay do this, make sure the phone is off and hold the camera button down for about 5 seconds... this button is located to the right of the keyboard. While still holding it down plug in the phone to the usb and now you should see a tri-colored screen come up. Now you can load the original rom the phone came with... The official roms could be found in the link below... called "official roms" and just download the t-mobile rom... and now you can flash your phone with the original rom...

anyone seen the other half of my thought from the other night? anyone?
Ok, I had found a forum post saying to hold down the SYM button, but couldn't get it working untill I read your reply. Much thanks, the phone is on, and giving me the red green blue screen. I hear the windows alert saying a USB device is plugged in, but active sync wont pick it up. So I'll post about it here, and while I dig through the internet trying to find my cure, I will hope that someone will know what my next step is.
Much much thanks jdoggraz! At least now I know my phone isn't completely dead!
Nick
jdoggraz already told you what to do. YUou do not have to wait for active sync to pick the phone. Just run the exe for the orginal rom.
I have tried to do a hard reset.
Hold the 2 softkeys down(the "-" on each end) for a few seconds, hot the power button down for 2 seconds and then hold the 2 softkeys down and wiat, but nothing happens. Donno why, but may be not being able to hard reset is a clue to whats wrong.
[EDIT]
I have found something about a program called Mtty.exe, and also a UNI_ExitBootLoader But I get a "un able to connect to usb" error with both programs when I try to connect. But, once again, every time I plug the phone into the computer I hear the alert saying a usb device has been attached??
[Another Edit]
I just noticed in Device Manager, under Window CE USB Devices, that my Smartphone USB Sycn Has that nasty Yellow explanation mark next to it.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

why are you resetting it? you were at the bootloader screen in your last post...right where you needed to be. now you are 2 steps back?
Sorry guys, I guess I wasn't getting a refreshed look at the forum post, and I didn't see any other posts. I went back to what I was told to do in the first place.
I first tried
1.33.422.1 (Worldwide English, WM6)
1.27.405.1 (Worldwide English, WM6)
With both I get:
ERROR [224] : INVALID MODEL ID
This update utility cannot be used for your smartphone. Please check your Update Utility.
And in the lower right there is a string of characters that is different every time.
What am I doing wrong? I'm so frustrated. I followed your instructions =(
[EDIT] OMG I am an idiot, ignore this post. If I wasn't so beat I might have scrolled down and noticed the tmobile DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pass the hookah brother..i wanna hang out in your world
puff, puff, give... man!....you're [email protected]#ing up the rotation!
An update.
I have gotten wm5 installed and working on my phone. I can't for the life of me get the 6.1 update to work. I get the agreement, press the center button and it goes back to the OS, the phone then locks up, and I have to restart it to re sycn.
This is very time consuming! The phone takes for ever to start. I also want to note that I upgraded my last dash with little problems, but this dash has been nothing but a head ache. WHY?!?!? I am not looking forward to being stuck with this phone.
Thanks everyone, for all the help. I went a little off course last night, I was falling asleep trying to get this thing working.
puff puff pass

I down a rom from here and flash my D810, after flash, ever thing ok. Then I installed a Chinese language pack. After installed, the two function key can not work. I think was the Chinese Language pack problem. So I uninstalled it. Now is the problem coming. My D810 can not start. Only stay in start logo. Hardreset also not work. Can not go to bootloader. Now what can i do. Please help me, thanks~~~~~
Hi there.
Switch off your phone and switch it back on pressing power and camera buttons together. This should lead you to Hard-SPL "Menu". After the appearance of a multi-color screen, you are able to connect your phone to a computer and install a new ROM.
My advice is to try the original HTC Rom, which can be found on Original Roms Post. This should let you test default factory configuration and validate if the problem has something to do with the keyboard or just the ROM.
Thank you for your reply. But the big problem is I can not go to the multi-screen color. I try it many time. I think my D810 end.

Never End... (Hopefully)
Could it be that one of your buttons is not pressing all the way? I've had trouble lately getting a couple of my buttons to press. Try pressing just a "Little" harder taking care not to break anything.
And just to confirm: You are holding down 'Power', 'Camera', and then pressing and releasing 'Reset'? I'm sure you are, I just wanted to confirm.
I do this many many time,just stay in start logo and the key are no response
I was hoping to help you on the cheapest way... The other one, is disassemble it... Check Dimanto's guide, which i can confirm, is good. Just did it step-by-step and it is perfect...
Dimanto's Guide to disassemble Trinity
if what SuperSport was suggesting is not valid (keys got stuck) maybe you have a MoBo problem if it's only a keyboard, it's cheap enough to repair, i hope...
Something I had not thought about previously... Have you tried to remove the Battery for about 30 Seconds to see if it will reset?
I not yet try this, after try this, I report to you, thx~~
I think can not disassemble it, it is to difficult for me, any way thank you very much.

If you decide not to try to fix it, don't throw it away. I'm sure people on here would be willing to buy it to try to fix it, or for parts.
If you want to try to remove the battery, you need to slide the back plate up. It does take a little force if you've never done it before. Use your thumbs and push it up.
Edit: Place your thumbs where the large circles are in the attached image and press up towards the camera lense, sliding the backplate up.
Good luck.
I removed the battery around 20 hours, the answer is same. Still stay in start logo.
I didn't throw it away, i want to fit it. I like this phone very much. I hope it alive again, thanks~~

I'm sorry that none of the simple things have worked. It sounds as though pjvieira might be right. It may be a hardware issue. Hopefully just the buttons, but maybe the motherboard. pjvieira's suggestions would be the next thing to try.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I think is the hardware problem. Maybe the OS damage, so only stay in start logo. Maybe sent to shop for maintence.
Hi, first of all thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a problem with my artemis p3300, it´s not concerned with any rom since it does it with the original ROM too.
So the thing is.
when it enters stand by mode, if i have ANY multimedia player, ie. media player, S2p or any other open, it didn´t have to be playing, only open in bg, i can´t enable the phone again, i have to keep with the button pressed until the message if i want to turn my phone off appears, or else it turns of again.
i searched everywhere if anyone else is having this specific problem, but i can´t find the right words to describe it in a search engine
anyway, thanks for the time you took to read the thread and please if you have any info regarding my problem i would appreciate it.
Thanks

1) you need to buy a new battery from ebay (or somewere simular)
2) keep device off after inserting new battery.
3) charge untill device shows green LED
4) turn device on
click the thanks button, you know you want to
thanks
i will try that and see how it goes
np dude,
BUT...
if i was you i would flash a new rom before you buy a new battery.
*if it still happens with the new rom, its definatly the battery.
i already tried a looooot of roms and all do the same, even original one´s..
thanks once again
cool, definatly the battery then dude..
make sure you dont turn the device on untill the battery is fully charged..
also, make sure you buy an Original Artemis/P3300 battery..
(i wont bore you with the reasons why, its just better if you do )
Hi guys!

Tryed with new battery - less then 12 hours and discharged.
