I need to bring my device in for repair at the shop but need to go back to wm5 but ic an't see anything on the screen, is it possible to flash without having the screen work? its all white. im currently on wm6
I don't mind if its in the initial setup as long as its got wm5 on it from three au.
Sit on your device and meditate. Count to 10, if you are tranquil then go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
If not.. then just throw your device away or look for "legolas..something".. he might buy your device. It seems that you've just bricked your device...
Hey, Was the all white caused by the WM6 upgrade. If you reboot do you even the the boot splash screens???
No, i didn't brick the device, it was working fine and then one day it goes all white screen.
It used to fade away to white screen during use.
It still runs, and i can use the phone, it just doesn't show anything but white on the screen.
try using mtty and aee if you have bad blocks and try flashing a non tool chained rom and see if that helps!
I have successfully flashed it back to the default rom with no screen.

Sorry to open a new thread, but I want to ask is there any method to fix this problem apart from using Mitty?
I tried flashing LVSW 3-26 firmware using SPL 1.06 or the 1.1x, both gave me the end results of white screen.
I am newbie to Mitty and worry of bricking my device with Mitty.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to cast the white screen away?
Desperately in need of help.
Thanks
I see by the sorry for a new thread you have read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299644
I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.
If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect
When you say white screen what do you mean?? You get a white screen and the device doesnt boot?? or the device has a white today screen?
people
for black 1.3 i will release two versions
one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)
and
one with only OS using standard RUU (assuming you already have HardSPL)
this will give u an option

The White Screen for me is i can see the HTC Flash screen, but the Windows Mobile screen becomes white without me even seeing it and the Today screen is also white also.
Also, i was wondering if using Hard-SPL might help?
Thanks
nope i am using hard spl and tried it still white screen
Me too....
I also got the white screen of death. lol.
i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.
I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.
My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before.
I will wait till there is a fix for this...
BTW I have a cingular 8525

After hours and sleepless night, and so many flashes i think the NAND in my dopod was hot enough to fry a breaky for me, i've come to the comclusion, i have 100%, no issue success with all ROMS, using 1.01MFG and MTTY flashing each part seperatly. Not one time has a white screen appeared, with ANY rom, and i've tested all the current WM6 roms.
I d/l'd and tried the latest LVSW rom (26/3) and have exactly the same issue when using the packaged RUU to install it. However, when i use MTTY, its perfect every time.
I would suggest the following steps
1. Load into the bootloader mode (HOLD POWER/OK buttons and press soft reset)
2. Flash SPL-1.01MFG onto your device (Read wiki info and file links here)
3. Once flashed, reboot and do step one again to get back into boot mode. You should now see your boot as 1.01MFG
4. Use NBHextract to extract 06_OS.nb file from RUU_signed.nbh file found in downloaded rom package.
5. Load up MTTY, follow steps in the wiki for the 1.01MFG on how to flash OS.nb (OS.nb is the 06_OS.nb file renamed to make it easier)
6. Once flash is complete, the latest rom is installed and you won't have a white screen
7. Now flash Hard SPL v4 onto your devic for safety reasons.
And this fix is EASY to do, 100% works every time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It worked 100% for me first time.
Just for the record I used ROMbaker to get the 06_os.nb then just rename it to os.nb.
Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.
Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.
If you follow these directions and install 1.01MFG, you can BRICK YOUR DEVICE with ANY mistake!
We're not talking about a brick that can be fixed either. You precious phone will become a paper-weight forever more! Really.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE N00BS ON HERE SAY; FLASHING 1.01MFG IS **NOT** A RECOMMENDED WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! DO NOT INSTALL 1.01MFG UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE CHANCE THAT YOUR PHONE WILL BE BROKEN FOREVER!!

Just go back to a previous version of WM6.
It only takes several minutes to put back XDA- Live.

I tried going back to WM5 firmware.
Flashing the firmware is a success but I still got the white-screen-of-death.
Any other options?
Thanks
SPL-1.35.Olipro will be released shortly; this should address the issue of the whitescreen error, all those having problems under 1.30 should no longer encounter it if they were able to flash fine with old SPL's

Question ?
Hi All,
Sorry N00b alert at this .. but very IT literate
Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.
I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli
Thanx test

mmm you mean u flashed da original splash screen instead of HTC and then it worked fine?
If you have hard spl (looks like you have) then try flashing from the SD card. (If nothing else has worked - read all the guides/threads)
Just save the nbh as HERMIMG.nbh (make sure you have not created HERMIMG.nbh.nbh) in the root directory of your SD card, and then hold the power and OK buttons on each side of the phone, whilst pushing the stylus in the reset slot.
Hold it in for a mo.
Sometimes take a few goes.
It should come up with a loading grey screen.
It will give details of the nbh it has found (ie mine only said OS), and says something like push the power button to update.
Thank God for Hard spl.
Did this for the first time yesterday after apparently badly cooking a rom. Got stuck on HTC screen not bootloader, but this sorted me out.
Big relief.
ooohh , big relief man that was hectic moments i ended up flashing shcaps 3.57a ROM because his 3.54b ROM doesn't have spalsh screen included. but there is one question remains unsolved for me and that is why i got error during flashing only splash screen??? could it be splash screen file was corrupt?
im happy my baby is alive again
I'd more like to know how to make a musicial start tone with the splash screen. example HTC's offical rom has a nice animated splash with a musical tone. I've looked at the templates and examples and there's plenty of easy to understand aspects of a still splashscreen but can't seem to find anything that shows how to craete an animated with music splash screen like HTC's
any idea's?
Hello,
I've just installed HardSPL succesfully, after that I wanted to install MightyRom 4.6, so I did. That went succesfully too according to my computer. Now when i want to switch the phone on, it keeps hanging with the T-Mobile picture on it. I've done a hard reset for several times and also a few soft resets. I also took my battery out for a few minutes, but when I switch it on, the same thing happens.
Please help me out of this !
Ps. sorry for my bad english !
for taking a little stress from your brain take an other rom - orig. rom from your provider.....
(go bootloder from pda; if your orig. rom only one *.exe-file you have to extract (winzip/winrar) it before flashing; connect usb (bootloader screen change from serial to usb); than flash)
but before you do this, how long you have to wait and look to your screen?
it can be sometimes a very long time until a windows-screen is coming.
if your pda gets hot than dont wait and flash asap new rom.
after 5 minutes waiting without any changes you have to flash an other rom.
I think I may have the same problem with my Diamond. I also installed MightyRom 4.6. Now, when I power up my phone, I get through the RGB stage to a white backdrop with instructions in blue to push volume button up for a reboot to manufacturers settings or push volume button down to reboot to manufacturers settings and wipe the movinand....after I select either one, when it gets to the HTC logo (HTC Diamond in white on a black background), it freezes. My pc won't recognise my phone when I plug it in...
Do I now have a really gorgeous paperweight or can I hold my Diamond to my ear again? Insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
By the way, XDA Dev rocks. Thanks to all who made this site possible.
Brick or no brick ?
Oh, I forgot to mention that my phone was a non-branded HTC running a Duttys rom. I did not want to get a DOPOD Diamond from China Mobile as they cost more and I dunno if they put Big Brother software in there.

do you have it in the boot loader before you plug it in to your pc?
Brickety brick, brick, brick...
My phone does not recognize my pc and vice versa. I tried plugging the phone in before booting it up. I tried while booting up. I tried at the white screen stage...nothing...help...
It also doesn't stay at the RGB screen for long...maybe 2 seconds...
Please break it to me gently if I have killed my HTC...I don't want to start drinking again...
...
My phone is a GSM Diamond. MightyRom 4.6 is for CDMA. If I combine the two(like I did) then am I screwed?
Can someone please give me some insight, please? I have been scouring the net for 3 days non stop now and my eyes are going to explode...
What is Jtag and can your average home user use it? Is it hardware or software...?
Cobbs: I assume when you say bootloader you mean something other than the RGB screen,,,cos as I stated in my first post, my phone does not stop on the RGB screen...
anyone knows how suddenly the screen doesn't respond anymore?
I cannot even boot into windows, it needs the calibration, cannot even switch it off because i need to tap "yes"!!!
Any ideas? It is brand new and i have tried several roms but cannot go beyond the boot green screen.
Thank you.
If you get to the align screen when you do the align screen it just restarts the align screen process over again right ?.....if thats the case i had the same problem i sent it in to htc and it was covered by the warranty
is that right - you try flashing one rom, after flashing get not rospense.
than you try an other rom but same equal.
is that correct?
but you can long press with dialog yes/no.
for "clicking" yes press only action-button
(the big round thing in middle)
Can you access the device from windows (see it as a removable drive?)
If so, you can create a "welcome.not" file from your pc and copy it to the internal storage. This will make it bypass the "align screen" steps when you boot up.
The file just needs to be an empty file. Create a "New Text Document" on your desktop, rename it to "welcome.not" and place it in the root of your internal storage (if you can access it).
Haven't tried this on my Diamond, only ever on devices with an external microSD, so I'm not entirely sure that it will work. It worked for me when my TyTn II screen broke. Once it's done, you can use a program like SOTI Pocket Controller to navigate around the device more freely from your PC.
This is good for diagnosis of problems, and enabling you to flash back to stock ROM and SPL for use of your warranty etc. but I'm afraid it seems inevitable that you'll eventually need to replace the screen, which hopefully you'll be able to use you warranty for.
no, actually, i don't get to the alignement screen, i'm stuck to the "tap the screen to start using....bla bla. And cannot go further cause the screen dosen't respond. not even to shut off. Completely no response to the taps.
thank you i will try it but any idea where to get the original uspl? It is a device from france, i've got the original rom from htc site with the serial number but i still need to get it to the original uspl right? now it has the unsigned olinex, no good for a warranty, right?
and anyway the guy who sold it to me he's overseas for probably a year so...bad luck for me.
AFAIK, you need to know what the SPL was before you flashed Olinex's. I doubt there is a way to find out what it was, unless you know someone near you who had the same device at the same time who hasn't CID unlocked theirs.
Unfortunately, I've never been in a situation where I've needed to use my warranty, so I've never flashed back, but I would guess the best thing to do is to try looking it up, doing a bit of research to try to make an educated guess as to which version you might have had. It may not matter if you're slightly out, I don't how fussy they are or how rigorously they check. I would guess that as long as there is a stock SPL, it would probably pass for the original and they wouldn't look twice. Don't quote me though, like I said, I've never been there.
If anybody thinks I am completely and utterly wrong or has experience of returning to original stock ROM and SPL for warranty purposes, please feel free to correct me!
Hi All,
I've got an O2 branded Diamond with Hard-SPL. I want to put on the latest O2 firmware to sell it, and I ideally don't want to go back to the original SPL as I'm not 100% confident in doing so.
I've downloaded the stock ROM and not suprisingly, it says not valid for your device (or whatever that error is). So I took the ROM, Radio and Splash out of the download and tried again. It flashes it fine, but after the splash screen it brings up the green WinMo screen and promptly fades to black. All the button lights come on for a second, and then I'm just left with a flashing center button.
I've tried putting other ROMs on and it's fine. I've also tried a few radios and also (when working with another ROM) tried taking the Radio out of the stock ROM, but I get exactly the same.
Has anyone seen this before, and do they know how to fix it? Alternatively, if anyone has an SPL that they can guarantee is for the O2 XDA Ignito, then I guess I can go that route.
Cheers,
Dan
Heh, went to redownload the stock ROM and I noticed it was actually labelled Serra (Touch Pro):
http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI...ineHelp-_-Help_Home_Page-_- HelpMobileTab_XDA
So, downloading it from the HTC website now and it's a different size..
Hehe, looks like that was the problem - nice one O2. Ran it through NBHUtil and it seems happy. Good times.
