HTC Universal stuck on "align screen" - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I had to reset my Universal to factory settings and now it is stuck on "align screen".
Is there a way to by-pass this or is there a reason why this is happening.
anyone...help....thank you

this may happen due to a broken touch screen. You can create a file "welcome.not" on root dir of your SD-card, this would bypass the whole "welcome" process.

welcome.not
Thank you for the reply but, as a neophite I have to ask a couple of more questions.
1. broken screen as in: Done...need a new one?
2. when you say write it in the root directory...please...can you walk me through it 1 time?
thank you

It works
Ive used this teqnique today and it works fine.
Open the sd card (assuming you have one) on your pc/alptop/mac/whatever and in the top directory e.g the one where you cant go any further up, r/click>create new file>text file>call it welcome.not and agree to use the file name. Put the sdcard in the Hermes and reset it and indeed it bypasses the align and welcome screen and took me straight into the customising OS page.
Jobs a good un!

O2ACTIVE

Can you get rid of O2 ACTIVE ????????????
I never use it
if u do hard reset and select corporate user and enter 0506 as pin. or if u dont want to do hard reset, there is a way to delete something from the windows folder but i cant 100% remember what it was, i think its connections.exe or something, this removes the o2 logo at top of screen and stops o2 active on startup.
if i remember correctly its in the startup folder within windows in file explorer.
i did it but cant remember how. lol
didn't think i would be back to this again. looks like i hace lost all my info
Well, I figure there should be a link or exe in the \Windows\Start Up folder for it. Remove it and it won't run.
I'm not 100% sure about this one though.
Yeah, LastOne, youre right. Remove the shortcut from windows\start up - active UI wont start any more on start up.
Bizarrely its called 'connections'!
I followed instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18350&highlight=
My XDAIIs was locking up several times per day, but since getting rid of O2 active its only locked once in over a month. O2 should be ashamed of themselves for putting this rubbish on their machines.
removing this does work and is the way i did it...... i had far too much info on my pda to do a hard reset and loose, but the best way really is to get rid of the software alltogether with a hard rest after a full backup... :wink:

read files from bootloader...phone stuck in calibration screen and activesync KO???

Hi to all! I installed a new cooked great rom to my trinity a month ago and it worked fine. it is this rom
[ROM][ITA]WM 6.1 Elegance edition 2.14 (OS 5.2.19213 Build 19213.1.0.0)[ONLINE]
today I got a strange error and the phone was stuck. I unplugged the battery and when I started again it was stuck on the calibration screen. if I tap on the screen nothing happens but the backlight turns on if it was off so it still catches the taps. I connected the phone via usb to delete from the autostart menu the link to the configuration screen (welcome.exe) but the phone is not deteced by activesync so no way to browse folders on my device or use a program like SOTI to control the ppc. I want to bring it back to life as I know that my files hasn't been deleted. in fact if I press the right soft button I get a menu of a program I put in the ppc and it's not included in the elegance rom so I'm sure my files and my configuration and everything are still there.
if i get a phone call the phone rings (with the default ringtone anyway, but the name of the caller is displayed correctly, that's why I'm sure my device still has all my contacts and more)
what could I do?
is there a way to edit files from bootloader? does mtty work for this? (I have no idea how to use mtty so I might be wrong) could I make a full dump, edit the startup folder and reflash the phone with all my data?
I tried to use mortscript witht the autorun feature to read a part of the register regarding the welcome file and deleting it's link in the startup folder but the sd card driver is not loaded I think as the files are not launched, while in another phone the same script works fine.
thanks in advance to all who will have time and will to help me

as far as i know (not that much), reading files from bootloader is pretty impossible.
You can always just reflash. If the touchscreen problem persists, it's possible that the problem is hardware related.
Your computer should detect your device when in bootloader, and failing that, you should be able to SD flash (assuming you're HardSPL'd or equivalent, thats just what we have in the herald forum)
Thanks for your help
I'm quite sure the hardware is fine as all my problems started after a crash of the OS.
Anyone has an idea to get access to my ppc?

if the sdcarddriver is not loaded then the following will not work but give it a try anyways. make a text file "whatever.txt" no quotes then rename it to "welcome.not" no quotes then put it in the root of your storage card and it should skip the whole startup process. that is if it loads the sd card driver or you might want to think about flashing another rom
I already tried the "welcome.not" trick but got no results. I'm afraid that the sd card driver is not loaded then.
Thanks for the hint irus anyway!
Really there's no way to read files from bootloader or something similar?
not that i know of
but the fact that your issue was noticed during a rom flash
dont mean it's not hardware related
much like a heart attack which happens during a thunderstorm
dont need be related to the thunderstorm
Wait! The error never happened during a flash. I never said it. I had that rom on my trinity since a month and it worked like a charm. Then suddenly I got an error and the phone was stuck.
I have understood what you mean but at least I hope it's not a hardware failure!

Original English WM 6.0 ROM for M88 MiPhone available for download!

English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) for M88 MiPhone
Please download from here
If somebody knows how to enter the bootloader mode of this phone please share here with us!
Here is the instruction for this procedure from the supplier which is nor working for me:
"English OS System 20080801 Edition (ROM image) available for download
- To update ROM, format your TF card with FAT32 and unzip all files and folders from the downloaded file into the root folder of the TF card. Then, restart the phone to begin updating. This update converts all non-English versions of this phone into English version."
If somebody can manage to install the ROM please write here the steps!
Thanks!
You can get to the flash update by pressing RESET, MENU, and POWER all at the same time, then release RESET first and wait for a message. The message will tell you to release POWER to do a hard-reset or MENU to do a flash update. In this case, you will release MENU first, then you will get a message asking if you want to update from SD. At this point, none of the buttons do anything so I assume you have to tap the touchscreen. My touchscreen is broken so I couldn't get any further than this.
Problem Fixed!

Thanks for your help, m8. It didn't work that way for me. I was adwised to do this:
1. Duplicate the update.img file and rename the second one as "uploader"
2. Copy both "update.img" and "uploader" on the SD - formatted in FAT32
3. Press POWER and HOME butons at the same time.
4. There are two possible options from here:
a) White screen with blue text showing "Upload image... please wait..."
b) Red screen with the options what to do in the next step -
5. I saw first the a) option - the white screen. So after 3 minutes of waiting the phone said it is done and it will selfrestart. After the restart - voila! There was the English OS loaded on my phone and everything was working perfect!
Hope this to help to other people too!

Check this out:
Resco explorer
Pocket Mechanic

Resco is very useful thing so the other two are very powerful as well. You will definetely uninstall S2U2 with more than one of them.
Good luck!

i have a daxian +999
i flash it whit that file it work but now i have a white screen the phone looks like ok but nothing shows in the screen only a white screen what i can do ??
My touchscreen does work but I get the white screen asking me "updated from SD card?" then it just sits there. I dont have a keyboard to hit Y. None of the buttons do anything. Touching the screen does nothing.
*edit* figured it out. You just keep holding the power button down. Then it flashed to a solid purple screen. I went wtf.... it screwed up again? then after a few minutes it booted up.
problems in m89
hello, I recently bought a M89.
In general the phone is great, but mine has a very big problem.
As a PDA it works great, but when I insert my SIM card the phone just freezes. It works for just a minute after the SIM is inserted. I've even been able to make one or two calls before it freezes.
But past one or two minutes it just stops working. It doesn't respond to anything at all, the only solution is to remove the battery.
I think the problem is in the firmware. I've reinstalled a bunch of diferent firmwares: wm6 english, wm6.1 spanish, wm6 english again... and nothing works.
can anyone help me???, 'cause this is really killing me :'(
Thanks in advance!

Just wondering - What is the size of your microSD card.
As far as I know m88 does not support SD card greater that 4 Gb by default.
Please, let us know.
Updated from SD Card ?
Hello, first of all I want to say thank you because I learned a lot from this thread. I bought M88 phone some months ago and is the first time I cannot use ( I really don't know what went wrong but finally the phone is not working or frezze ).
I bought 2Gb card and was formatted in FAT32. I also complete all steps in order to load the original image but I got this message: "updated from SD card?" and nothing more... What button must be pressed ?
I'll go crazy... do you know what's the next step ?
Thank you very much.
i dont understand sorry. i have to copy the "update" imgfile and rename it as "uploader"... and leave this two files : "update and uploader" in the root folder ?
I've install ROM from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452848
and now, when I try power on my MiPhone - it show only white screen - please help!
bootloading
the file, atleast on windows 7, shows up as "update". Also, I found it works must faster and easier to make 3 copies (4 files total)
naming 1: update.img
2: uploader.img
3: Update
and 4: uploader
(so the last 2 don't actual have .img in the title)
Then just make sure you hold down both the buttons, and vuo-la! haha
Doesn't fix the MMS problem though.
Does anyone know how to make it so that it can use mms?
Miphon m88
Danke es funktioniert supper !!
i got white screen too ;[ how to fix my phone now ;/ i dont see enythink ;[

Help: Kaiser can't flash NBH anymore!

Following the instrcutions tp flash back to WM:rename RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISimg.nbh and place it on your SD card along with KAISDIAG.NBH. Place the SD into your Kaiser and hold the Power button and camera button down, then take your stylus and hit the reset button.", after I pressed the power button again, tri-color screen changed to a whie screen with "Loading..." showing. There was no progress bar below as usual. After about 5 minutes, I reset it, Kaiser runs android system well: I can even install a new anroid system. Just can't flash any NBH file, even Android small NBH file. Tried with a newly formarted fat32 card also. It always stop at "Loading.. " screen.
Anyboby can help me?

1st
I have never used the stylus reset to flash nbh. (good thing too because I broke it long before switching to android)
just holding the camera button while powering on gets me to the tri-color and then a white screen telling to press power button again to flash.
2nd
I have had freeze-ups on that screen while "loading" and it is usually because of a bad/corrupt nbh file or not making sure all caps in file name KAISIMG.NBH
just a thought...

Tried with KAISIMG.NBH, nothing different!
Anyway, Thanks!
Try clearing everything on the sdcard and leaving only the KAISIMG.nbh and remove the diag file too.
You should have one file (KAISIMG.nbh) on your sd.
NOTE: If the phone is off you only need to hold the camera and press the power button. If the phone is on just hold the camera and press the reset button. There's no need to hold the reset AND power button.
Since you can access the bootloader there is another way to flash, by USB.
You will need to do a little preparation.
If using XP disable Activesync by going to connection settings and uncheck 'Allow USB Connection'.
Then make a temporary folder somewhere handy, I usually use c:\flashtmp, but anything is good.
In this folder goes KaiserCustomRUU.exe, and the NBH renamed to RUU_Signed.NBH.
Once you have all this, put kaiser in Bootloader, it should say Serial at the bottom, attach the USB Lead, and wait until it say USB at the bottom, then run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and follow the instructions.
You should be able to flash Radio, splash, or OS with this method.
i usually do it the way zenity describes...its easier for me to keep up with all of my nbh
the few times i did it from SD i DID NOT have kaisdiag.nbh...other threads said it was unnecessary, so maybe its even bad
btw everyone i found that KaiserCustomRUU.exe will take a nbh named anything as long as its the only one in the DIR. found this by forget full accident
One thing zenity forgot to mention was that you need to remove kaisimg.nbh from your sd before putting into bootloader. Or just remove your sd

you can techically leave it there. in spl there is the option to not load the .nbh...after selecting that you can plug in USB like normal
Ah yes, I did forget the removal of the SD card, it may not be necessary in this case, but generally it's a better practice, saves confusion.
Didn't know about customRUU accepting any NBH though, always good to learn things
Regarding KAISdiag, I have never used it, so leaving it out is safe, in fact I'd only use it as a last resort for bad flashes or problems that require it.

Tried as your instruction with SD card and SIM card removed, when going to step to run KaiserCusomruu.exe, there is always a "communication error showed on PC screen, and recovery didn't make any difference.
I noticed that my SPL is SPL-3.34.0000, instead of SPL-3.34.0000. May it is beacause I flashed stock rom befored. How can I flash Hardspl in android system. I don't know how to copy jumpspl.exe to kaiser in android system.
You should be able to flash a stock winmo rom using the above method, since stock does not need HardSPL.

I downloaded the stock rom for my kaiser, and finally I flash back to WM following your instruction. Before, I tried a wrong stock rom.
By the way, the battery problem has been solved for Android system? I have 2 pcs of battery.

[Q] Can't get FRX06 running

The last view days I spent many hours to get android installed on my HTC Touch Pro 2 Windows phone (RHOD100). This is what I did so far:
1) Buy a new micro SD cart
2) Format the cart to a standard FAT32 using SDFormatter V2.0
3) Download the "FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011" from your forum
4) Insert the SD cart in my phone and start the HARET.exe
Until so far no problem... but.....
Next I should calibrate my screen, but I can't see when and I don't see the squares for the screen calibration. After some waiting I touched (without seeing the boxes) the left top, right top, centre, left bottom and right bottom of my screen. The startup continues and I see after some waiting the android screensaver and some later the locked "desktop" So far with hiccups I managed.
But:
I cannot get called (the phone is not working), the touch screen does not work properly. So I try to restart the entire phone to start from scratch (so delete all files from SD card, format it again and copy the original files on it.
To my surprise I cannot start the HARET.exe application from my windows mobile environment I get the message:
The file HARET cannot be opened. It is not signed with a trusted certificate ....."
From another topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...17&postcount=5) I found that some registry setting was not correct so I downloaded the CERegEditor 0.0.5.2 application and I tried to change the REG_DWORD to 1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies.
However trying to change that value I continuously get access denied also when I used the build in tool Unlock registry.... And yes my phone is attached. On another forum I found I have to download the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys which I did and did not help.
So I cannot start HARET and I don't know how to proceed....
Can anyone help me? (And I'm sorry for my long story)
Hello !!
Isn't there anyone who can help me with this?????
Please?!
It's better if you post this in the android touch pro 2 section.
