Dears,
I faced the white screen the first time last Thu. I migrated my device (Jasjam) to Black Pro 2.0 on Wed. and started to get the white screen on Thu.
I was going arround it by few turn-of turn-on untill today morning when I noticed that the screen shifted down by 1mm. In fact more precisly, rotated down 1mm. Starting with the splash screens, the Windows booting screen and the Windows later. Everything is rotated down by the 1mm meaning what is disapearing from bottom is showing on top!
I got to the device through the mtty and ran task 2a, everything was okay. Then I ran task 28 and task 8. The deveice booted with the sae shifting problem. I installed the latest LVSW 05Apr07, the same problem still although the Windows is working fine. Switching the device off will not switch the screen off immediatly, the screen goes in fade-away type of action for about 2 minutes until it totally powers off.
Any idea? Does that mean I am loosing the mobile? Please help.
Appreciating all help.
Regards.

what bootloader version are you running?
Many thanks trashcan for your quick response. I have removed the battery for 5 minutes, the screen was still showing that last image. I keept the battery out for 15 minutes untill the screen was totally off. Reruting the battery resolved the ****ing issue, thanks again.
Also thanks to walshieau, the device has IPL-1.01 and SPL-1.40.Olipro.
Regards.
Regards.
The bad part of the news is that the white screen is still comming!!!
Any clue?
Regards.
I thought of sharing this with you
I have just done the follwoing:
> Updated (again) the device with SSPL-1.40
> Re-flashed the device Force through SSPL the new OS (LVSW)
The phone looks better, however I got the white screen two times in about five minutes.
Wat else I should do? Please share your experience.

Read?
1) Ensure that you have 1.40.Oli by checking the bootloader screen.
2) Run the upgrade, but, select AUTO DETECT! DO NOT CLICK FORCE SSPL!
3) White screen gone

not quite, the ROM image affects some devices, I'll redo Black 2.0 like I redid LVSW if this keeps happening.
It is getting worse now ... I do not know what is happening
Good morning,
Thanks LegoLasTheElf and Olipro for you input, I started to patch the device again and although everything was normal, the update program sayed the connecting was lost and took me to a recovery screens which just went into a loop (repeating the same steps with no hope).
The device is on the bootloader (tri-color) screen. I tried getting into it using the mtty and set 14 0 (as I found it on on of the posts) however it did not help.
Could someone tell me please to to get the device to boot normal again.
Regards.

Yeah, that works!! That is how I solved my whitescreen.
thx Olipro!!
Many thanks Olipro for your continued help.
I have gove through your topic on the white screen and I posted you a reply there. The megaupload site is blocked in my area, if possible please mirror it on another site, i.e. 4shared.com
Regards.
I have exactly the same White Screen symptoms and more recently, the 1 mm screen shift problem too. I removed my battery for 15 mins and the screen shift temporarily went away but on the next reset, it is back :-(
I have SPL-1.40 Olipro but am unable to download the LVSW to resolve White Screen as Megaupload never works in my area. Can someone post that ROM to Rapidshare please.
Thanks a ton!

Where can I get the CustomRUU? The device is now on the BL screen and the tools are being able to communicate with it.

Alright, I have the same problem here. Now before anybody comes on here and tell me to read this and that, I've tried everything.
From going back to 1.01MFG, mtty the OS, use 1.40, use customRUU, leaving the battery out for 5mins, 15mins, hours, over night. Even tried going back to the original ROM and still nothing, the same damn white screen. As far as I am concerned, the intervals are actually getting worse and it comes on more often.
Anybody has any other ideas beside the ones that are posted everywhere. Trust me I've been trying to fix this for over a week now and I have read everything on here.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys
YES This was my first solution

@BCRX7- After the WHITNESS from LVSW and then black1.2 I used this QTEK rom. It got rid of the white screen. Then I used Olipro's modified ROM. I am now running BLACK2.0 with no problems. Props OLIPRO and JasJammin!!!
i solved my white screen in a different and strange way, but easy
you may not believe it, but i did it, i solved the problem of my white screen in a very simple way.
i put my hermes in the fridge for 20 mins at 2C and i keep it on and put it over night.
(no charging, no sync, .... nothing)
this is the way how i solve it.
try it at your home, and tell me what happened to it.
thanks for all.
Hardware or software issue?
Hi,
Did anyone figured if white screen is hardware or software related issue? I wonder if there is anybody that doesn't got any whitescreen since they upgraded to WM6. I observed that the number and the severity of the white screens was different depending of the cooked ROM used (I have Olipro 2.10 SPL, Radio 1.50). Unfortunately I didn't count the white screen number for each version in order to choose the right one
I want to be sure I have tried all software methods before I will send my Hermes to the mobile operator for a replacement (if it is a hardware issue). Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
Hi all.. I had the same prob and it developed into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303872
So its a HW problem... You can get it back to normal by hitting(yeah not the nicest thing to do with a toy that has high price tag) the phone when its turned off completely -if its hibernating it doesnt work. If you have warranty time left -get it fixed. If not -you can try opening the hermie and doing whats told on 8th page in thread I mentioned. I got mine fixed by changing the front keyboard circuit board..
Hello everybody,
I seem to have a major problem with my XDA Orbit: Not only it shuts down with no apparent reason so that I have to reset it, but it shows sometimes the dreaded "white screen of death" - from now on "WHISOD". The screen all of the sudden slowly goes white and sometimes shows dark vertical bands. After that - if I am lucky - I can reset the device, however a couple of times I already had to hard reset end even reflash it.
I have already checked software and plugin problems and would rather say that it seems to be a hardware problem. Any ideas out there. They would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Smack
i had the same problem and as at now my phone is dead becuase i did not flash it with the original rom. look for the rom it came with and flash it to the phone ,like how u first got the phone or u will loos ur phone very soon
I am not at all sure if it has to do with the ROM. I have tried different ROMs to check the error but it appeared with all of them. However the next time I will try again with the latest official ROM.
Thanks for the comment and your help. BTW Did you send your Orbit in for repair?

Hi, do you use the uspl before every new rom install? Try it.
I have the same problem, my htc3300 is almost dead I think. No way I can even turn it on, allways end in the windows screen, and it was because I didn`t use the uspl before last rom install.
Give it a try, and let us know.
See ya.
Thanks. No flashing problem. I have flashed a couple of devices (always unlocking them before ;-) )and have had no problems whatsoever.
The problem I mentioned is not connected to any earlier flashing. The device works a couple of hours perfectly. However suddenly it starts to behave like crazy.
Now to your problem: If you can get into boot loader modus you will most probably be able to unlock your item. Search for uspl and download it. Then get into boot loader mode (press voice recorder button and power button while resetting the device) and you will get a three colored screen. Then connect the USB cable. You will see "usb" in small fonts on the screen of the device. Now you can run uspl. With a little luck the device starts again. However you can flash it again with a fresh ROM the same way (after unlocking it). This may (!) work.

Smack
Hello,
I have the same problem, I already hard reset end even reflash my p3300 many times with different ROM.
I even tried running it for some time with and without the micro SD, ending with the same result: the screen of death.
Any ideas , tips, anyone ?
Thanks,
Roundi
Ok, I tried the following: Just take the battery out for six or seven hours and insert it again. The device seems to run smoother. Will keep you posted. Tell me if it works out for you.
Regards,
Smack
Ok, just removed the battery, I will leave till tomorrow morning.
I will keep you updated.
Thanks,

I have same problem here - though mine is the second phone and the fifth motherboard I've had. HTC just don't seem to able to fix it. I'm now trying to get a refund.
Hi, Jem.
Yes that's something I have thought about too. Did you you use the original ROM? However right now the system seems to be more stable. I have had only one blank screen after removing the battery (and one shut down).
Regards,
Smack
I have just put in the battery and switched on the phone after almost 24h.
So far so good.... I will try to use it for a while and will let you know.
Regards,

Had the same problem again, when using Mortplayer. I have Mortplayer installed on the SD card. Could it be that the problems arise, when there is heavy usage of the SD Card?
Any ideas are welcome.

Again it went SOD shortly after turning it on. I didn't launch any applications.
I am stuck here.....
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

So, I left my Artemis in my RAM Aqua Box waterproof phone case attached to my motorcycle while I ran into the store.
I came out, started the bike and started the ride home. That was when I noticed the white screen and my tunes had stopped playing. I've seen it happen before (while turning off the phone in camera mode, etc), but a simple soft reset always fixed it. Not this time...
For two days now I've flashed it back to factory, installed my latest ROM (twice), reconfigured all my settings, etc, only to have the phone seize up by fading to the White Screen Of Death. The only fix is to remove the battery and let it sit for a bit. I have found however I can get the phone to run longer if I put it in the freezer for 15 mins, then it runs as it should until it warms up.
Sometimes it will work for half a day, other times it will fade out even before the soft reset boots up again. It really doesn't like being plugged in to charge or sync.
Now for some more background info. It did get deathly hot in the case I have because it has a clear face, is sealed, and it was sunny. Also, I started the bike when the phone was plugged in. I've heard this is bad for the charging circuit, but I'm leaning to the overheating as being the seminal event of the start of my sorrows because I've started the bike/truck many times with the phone plugged in. Did my luck run out?
What have I done, and how do I fix it?
i have had a white screen problem on my phone to it would go like this when just left on or when wanting to flash it in boot mode i have taken both sim card and memory card out and i have found that the memory care is curupted and works fine now will have to formate the memory card in order for it to work properly in the phone again
htc artimis 02 orbit
Yes, you can remove your memory card.
Just had similar problem. Possible reason: ROM update. Possible solution - ROM changed again (different) and hard reset. Hopefully everything will be ok. Until now (9 hours) - it is!

Did U ask the service guy abt the screen problem
My XDA Orbit went crazy today, first I couldn't start him at all, he wasn't react on "power button". After few attemts he finally started. I connected him to PC but he turned off after couple minutes. From this moment I can't start windows, it stops at starting screen (with IPL, SPL, GSM, OS). After a while screen starting to quakes (like a low frequency on CRT). I tried hard reset, it won't help and run it in bootloader mode but Orbit just reset.
Additonal info:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
ROM: Original WM6 from O2
Can anyone help me?
Have you tried a different barttery?
No, I didn't. I don't know anybody with artemis to borow another battery.
EDIT: I checked battery voltage, it's about 3,85V and now i noticed something, on battery sticker is printed it is for ARTE160 3.7VDC-1200mAh but on the phone it's printed ARTE200 5VDV-1A. Is that can cause the problem?
Finally I forced it to run in bootloader mode and flashed with the same O2 WM6 ROM. He started and I was abble to flash USPL and other ROM. It's better but still sometimes phone just poweroff with no reason

Hi

I bought a new battery but phone still turning off and freezes. Now I can't even turn it on, sometimes it starts but screen slowly fades away and after few seconds its only black screen with black light. It's propably a hardware problem but what?
EDIT: I started it, working fine when it's connected with pc but when I disconnect it freezes after couple of minutes.
flisak
open the device and check the screen is connected propperly, piss easy, just be very carefull.
if this does not work buy a new LCD.
Hi, I have the same problem with my Artemis, did anyone find a solution? Can be a problem with the LCD?
And plus one here. The device always turn off, and is difficult to turn on again. Rplaced battery and is the same.....
I've got an XDA Orbit that periodically hangs (full black screen and occasionally this seems to drain the battery very quickly). I've taken it apart and reseated the connectors and these all look ok.
Seems to happen when you're taking it out of a pocket to answer a call etc. Sometime it just requires a soft-reset but occasionally it just doesn't respond. In these instances I have found that twisting it slightly across the diagonal (top left to bottom right bending back slightly) and then resetting the device seems to bring it back to life and it's ok for a few hour/days again. If I leave it alone, i.e. not in my jeans pocket - it's fine, so think it's hardware related but not sure which bit is faulty - screen, touch-screen, mainboard etc.
If I bend it the same as above when it's working the screen goes screwy and causes it to crash so think it's definitely this is what's causing the device to crash. However, the clock seems to keep going (I'm assuming so as in most incidents it doesn't seem to lose the correct time - although I might just be seeing the problem the instant after it has crashed) so don't know whether the mainboard is still ok.
Just thought it might help some if you try the slight twisting described above to see if that helps with these to get them working and if anyone has any ideas how I can work out which bit of mine is faulty I'd be grateful.
when I try to flash the ROM 6.5 for my HP3300 after 4% flashing it restrats again. Pls help me out. I think this problem might be with my Ext_ROM. How to unlok EXT_ ROM
what is the best touch rom to use for my xda orbit. and where can i get it

what is the best touch rom to use for my xda orbit. and where can i get it
Well it seems that I'm having similar issues with my Orbit.
I've been having problems with it for a few weeks and they seem to be getting much worse now.
Occasionally it would just lock up and freeze, but after frantic tapping it will unfreeze itself and continue working fine. But over the past few days it's been locking up regulary. Removing the battery was the only way to get it going again.
But now it just won't do anytihing. As soon as I start it up I either get a white screen (it phases in during the splash screen), or it'll start up, freezes after a few seconds, then eventually switches itself off. Hard resetting it makes no difference at all. Changing the battery didn't work either. I always keep it on charge overnight, could that be the problem? Maybe I'm just overcharging the battery (if that's even possible).
Note: As I've typed this, I've switched it on again only to find the battery's flat, even though it's been off for most of the day (I gave up trying to start it up). The battery usually lasts for the whole day - maybe even 2 days if I don't use it much. I had it on charge overnight as I said.
I'll try another battery to see if that works. If not then what can I do?
