I dropped my jasjar from 2 feets height and found dead. There is no power and no connection to pc. Somebody told me that this is a software crash problem but when i try to enter bootloader to reflash rom i can not do it.
I am totaly stuck in the situation and dont know what to do.
Can anyone help me how to restore my jasjar.
I can't believe that after a drop of 2 feet that you have a "software crash".
I rather believe that you now got a brick, ready for the service center.
Cheers (and good luck)

So does a light come on when you plug it into a charger, I assume you have taken the battery out and shaken to listen for any 'rattles'

has anyone experienced this? whenever i charge my xda iis, it becomes too hot, and i mean hot to handle... i almost dropped my phone when i held it... it takes at least 10 mins for my phone to cool down, considering that i have an airconditioned room... after this, my phone hangs and only a hard reset can fix it (man, i thought it was broken)... i just got my phone fixed -- no more gprs/mms problem and hard reset problem when i remove the battery... those asking how they fixed it, they had to change the board (unfortunately from where i live, you cant have the unit replaced after two weeks of purchase)... i also had pocket hackmaster installed... havent installed this before... now my problem is i dunno if pocket hackmaster can cause this problem... right now, the only way i can charge my phone is through my cradle... no time to bring it to the service center right now coz im out of town... tnx!
i know the problem with my mda III
I got the same problem.
i went to the t-com shop an they chenged my batterie.
the next problem was my backupbattery, it was damaged too.
now i got a new mda III. i wondered why all my settings after
battery drop or battery down were gone...
if your keyboard is getting hot too, you got the same problem.
my choice:
change it.

I got caught in that major downpour on saturday and my BA and Globalsat BT-338 GPS unit got soaked.
I dried them off in the car and tried the BA. It powered on, and on the blue imate screen (I flashed it with a PDA2K image) I saw a very brief bit of corruption on the screen. It got into windows then rebooted.
I got it home, dried some more, tried again. Dead as a doornail.
Put it in the cradle, the red "break call" button was dimly flashing. Not an even flash, a bzzt bzzt "I am shorting" kind of flash.
I immediately pulled it out of the cradle and left it to dry more overnight.
Today I tried it out of the cradle, still dead. Gingerly put it in cradle, the top right light went red (low battery I think this means) but no flashing break light so I left it and it went orange (indicating normal charging) after a while. I powered it on and it works. I still get the same brief bit of corruption just after the serial / rom ID screen on bootup.
It would not sync howver. I tried my lil-sync travel sync lead and that synced. I then had the idea of pulling the power plug out of the back of the cradle and letting it reset. It now syncs in the cradle.
All seemed good I thought. But I soon realised that the power button doesn't work. I cannot turn off the screen. If I hold the button down it toggles the backlight, so the button itself isn't broken, but I don't know what is...
I suppose I will have to call O2 and they will tell me to send it to a repair centre, but that will probably a) take ages and b) possibly cost loads.
I was thinking of taking it to a repair shop but I doubted they would know how to fix a BA. Also they may try to rip me off.
Any suggestions ?
Also if you know the best way of going about getting my globalsat BT-338 GPS repaired also that would be great. When I plug it in to charge the orange charging light flashes briefly but then nothing.
worst come to worst, install something like handymenu and make a quick action link for turn off, then assign that quicklink to one of the buttons to turn it off.
not sure that will work to turn it on though - unless you've worked out another way to do that?
When something gets wer, always take the battery straight out and thouroughly dry the inside with a hairdryer before trying to turn it on again. Probably not much help to you now though
I bet 02 will fix it for about £50.
I don't have a hair dryer - you need hair to make it worth having one and I haven't had any hair in years !
I will give O2 a call and see what they say.
I have a XDA2s for parts
Hallo
If you are interested i have O2 xda2s with brocen screen for parts exchange feel fre to contact me
07746555729
Take it to O2 just tell them it doesnt work and you dont know whats happened to it... play it dumb... always works for me. they replaced my entire screen with a brand new one for nothing and it only took under a week. It was so obviouse i had dropped it since ther was a clear dent at the top of the BA. only thing is that if they want to charge you for repair and you decide not to go ahead they will charge you to post it back to you.

exactly what i did uplift
posted it in today, fingers crossed...
I think I am defo gonna get insurance if I get it working again, too much worry...
well I sent it in to the official repairers (Anovo) and they sent it back "Fixed under warranty"
Except that it was NOT fixed, it was displaying the exact same fault, which is SO easy to replicate, how the hell can they call it "Fixed" ???
So I call up O2 cust serv and tell them. They asked me to fax in receipt from repairers which I did and they said they would be sending me a brand new handset
Woohoo !
Well i was happy with o2 till i noticed a ****ING crack on the bottom left hand side of the screen. so i went back a week later cos i was working and didnt have time.
Told them that it was sent back to me like that and they basicaly said piss off.... said they couldnt do anything about it that i could have broken it anytime myself... fair enough. So now i have an xda with a cracked screen and anywhere down in the left corner i have to touch about 6mm to the left of
any button to press on it.
So pressing the New button is impossible.
I cant belive how they didnt even question about how the screen stopped working the first time, so why the hell cant they replace it again!?
Im proper pissed off :twisted:
Anyone know anybody that has a dead xda with a working screen id gladly pay good money for it!
annoying, but I would imagine the screen is quite easily replaceable.
It's gonna cost, but better than being left with a paperweight...
You guys are not gonna believe this...
So O2 send the new handset.
When I got it I decided to use my old battery until the new one had charged.
Guess what... same problem !!
IT WASNT THE PHONE IT WAS THE BATTERY !!!
So, if your XDA fails to go into standby mode when you hit the power button - don't suspect the phone, suspect the battery !

if u do, make sure u dont get it wet, cos o22 insurance wont cover water damage.
I can't use O2 insurance anyway, you can only insure with 02 within something like 14 days of purchase.
Got same crack but in the right-hand bottom...
I am using my device in landscape mode while waiting for a reasonably priced spare part donor. Rotating the screen usually helps.

Before I start getting flamed.....I have been researching the methods to solve this bricking for the last 3 days and NOTHING has worked.
I have tried HARD resetting (2 soft keys and reset) tried flashing with bootloader version 1.04....NOTHING.
I cannot understand what to do next. Nothing is working, the WMBLACK screen is coming up and then the white screen!!!!
I have followed several instructions and I must be doing something wrong!!!
Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
NJV
Have you gone here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
Yes....this is the first place I looked....I have followed everything....still nothing.
Hmmm... doesn't sound to me like a brick in the true sense. Do you have Hard-SPL installed? If so I'd check for bad blocks. If not, I'd flash Hard-SPL, then check.
See bootloader section of the Wiki and the Hard-SPL thread (mtty, 'info 8' and 'task 2a' in particular).
EDIT: Oh yeah, I think a bad battery can cause weird behavior like that, too. Gotta spare you can try?
I've tried loading hard SPL and it keeps telling me it can't communicate with the unit.
I will go back and try what you have mentioned again.
I unfortunately don't have another battery.
Thanks I will report back....your help is appreciated.
You have to 'force SSPL' on the Hard-SPL install...
Hey mate, remi from australia here. I have a Dopod 838 pro which is the same as your device and I had the same problem a couple of months ago when Black released version 3.5 of WM6. I searched long and hard on the internet for solutions to this problem, some ppl thought it was a heat related issue which I thought could be correct because when I had the problem, if I left the device off for a couple of hours then turned it on again and did a hard reset it would work for about 10 mins... however yea 10 mins and the same issue again, other people thought it was a short circuit in the device and others managed to get rid of the white screen by applying presure to the chassis above the right soft key, above the "ok" button..... but none of these worked for me, when I was getting the problem the keys would malfunction and stop worling then the screen would go white and it would be stuffed again. after a while it was permanent and no hard resets helped anymore. I went to my dealer and they organised a new handset to be sent out to me within a couple of days. when it arrived I compared mine to the new one and one thing I noticed was that the LCD on my bricked device was a very clear white constantly, when it was off, like it had burnt out completely and the new dopod had a dark black LCD with no visible boarders, clearly showing the lcd was stuffed. so if the bricked device has a screen which has a clear white boarder on the lcd like a white picture in a blck frame its really stuffed. but yea the only way u can fix it is by sending it off to your dealer for repair or try and get a replacement out of them!
regards
remi
I had the same issue. Turned out the video chip had come loose from the board and a couple of necessary connections weren't happening. I had to send mine in for repair.
I was out of warranty and sent mine to PPCtechs. They sent it back as good as new with a shiny screen protector.
hi all gurus,
my artemis recently got a white screen of death..
symptom
- the whole screen slowly becomes white
- will happens especially in hot (outdoor, noon time, or when loading big programs)
- the phone itself is noticeable hotter than normal when white screen happens...
- need to unplug the battery in order to restart.. soft-reset wont work when screen goes white..
- at early stage, still can connect to pc and flash new ROM, but now, cannot connect to pc already (pc just wont recognize it)
- the screen is seems to be shaking left to right all the time (a noticeable extra 5 pixels appears on the left most border of the screen, and the goes disappear, repeatingly)
- have already replaced a stable and clean ROM at the stage were the ppc still can connect to pc (i use the ROM before for few months, no problem)
- have try to switch on with a new battery, problem remains..
- battery drains quickly...
does anyone face this kind of problem before? it is hardware problem right? i search on the time, some says is the CPU need resoldering, some says need to replace the LCD ribbons... but the unfortunately things is, no pda repair expert near by area...
any feedback is apperciated. Sorry if my english grammer is not so good.
thanks.
i have the same problem...
i have bought a new battery and it still happens.
I now only get the following on boot:
IPL: 3.04.0001
SPL:1.11.0000
GSM: 03.08.90
I don't get the fourth one and it no longer loads - does this mean that the os is fluffed..?

Hi...
I had the same prob. as in first post here...with my aretemis.Tried to fix it (after i ve read sh... load of threads) by heating up board and CPU (I was pissed so I just wanted to destroy it) and I managed to do so.
Now I get only red led when it is con.to PC.
After that I found post of some guy from ROMANIA who claims that he managed to fix it by one of these:
1. reheating CPU
2. changing CPY clock crystal
3.(I can't recall third thing, but it was hardware too)
After that I went on eBay, got a better one and now I'm happy with my new artemis,plus I have spare screen battery etc..in case I damage it somehow...
Ah yes...before I tried to f...(fix) it, I found that my warranty is expired for 1 month....so you can imagine why i lost my patience.
i know this will bring you down,sorry,but I had the same symptoms...
now I'm changing custom roms to see which one fits me, and still i get amazed with this beautiful phone....
cheers,
Z
Looks like a general problem with no fixes/solutions to be found anywhere.
My solution:
Get rid of this HTC sh!t and roll back to Motorola...
Found a solution!
Still being under manufacturers warranty, I took it to the repairs agents, they replaced the motherboard and voila!
Never blame a WSOD on software...
If your Diamond does not load, does not respond to power, will not turn on, just dead.
I have good news for you.
After adventures with his Diamond, after incurring large costs on sites and listen to, that not experienced spare parts, the disc is replaced.
If your phone has these symptoms, and does not react to anything that
I found a way to restore your phone to life.
Tutorial:

2 - Remove locking the back cover that covers the motherboard
3 - Connect a short to short circuit the two contacts shown in the picture....
4 - then after you execute your go a head start in bootloader mode and upload hasd SPL ver. OliNex 1.40. Because only the phone will work well.
Important: You must be inserted in the battery, and must be connected to the charger.
Hard spl 1.93 OliNex release has a bug that our phone software
