I have asked the question before and I will ask it again.
I am running a P3300 with WM5 O2 rom.
I'm using the PDA as a phone and the only thing installed is tom-tom ver. 6.
The unit got stuck on the tom-tom screen and would not move.
Pressed the reset button and now it is stuck on the home screen flickering.
Has any one seen this before?
Does anyone know if a fix?

I've bought a XDAIIi in Singapore yesterday. It ran perfectly as the first time. After that I hardreseted it. When it came to the second screen which asked to touch the screen to continue the process, cos I'm had something to do so I turn the power off by the power button (without touch the screen).
And now, I press power on again to continue the installation but the device stop in the screen "tap the screen to set up your Pocket PC". The touchscreen is not workable. Can anybody help me to fix this stuff? I also need the Asian ROM to upload to my device, please help me.
Can you not just hard reset it again and do it at the first prompt next time?

Sorry everybody. I've fixed it. The problem is the screen protector which the seller applied in Singapore. I take it out and the screen is "touchable" now...
Hi Guys.
I've had my orbit for about 3 weeks now, and its been perfect. I had a spare 512mb microSD card lying about so I used that, but my 2Gb microSD card came in the post yesterday.
I put the card into the phone, and then plugged the phone into my computer via USB. The screen turned off, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't come back on.
I reset it using the small button on the side (sticking my stylex pen into it) and it restarted itself, showing the splash screen no problem, but as soon as you would expect the Today screen to show, the screen goes off. It get's weirder, because if I hold down the camera button to turn that on, the screen switches itself on, and you can use the camera no problem. If i hit the windows key, the menu appears, but if I try clicking an icon, the screen goes dead again.
Also, sometimes (not always, don't ask why) if I leave it for a couple of minutes, the screen slowly appears, as if the backlight is very very dim. But the second i tap anywhere, or touch a button, it goes off again.
I can still answer calls, and my alarms still go off. The phone seems to work perfectly, but just not the screen. I think that it might be the backlight having been turned so far down its off, but I don't know how I would go about reseting that.
Sorry for the long story, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
have you tried to make a hard reset?
Man I had the exact sane issue. Its to do with the backlight. I had to angle the screen to try and see anything on it, then changed the backlight to full and made sure it didnt switch off after certain time, everything fine since then. dont know how it happened.
exactly like fubofo wrote,try to unplug,screen should be visible again, check backlight prop.-and plug it in.
i have the same problem this appears sometimes.I think this is a damn bug that appears randomized.It happend to me like 6 times.I have the o2 xda orbit with german o2 rom.What's about yours? it dims the light under the normal makeable settings this sucks.And the camera works because the light settings goes automaticly to the highest settings in camera mode.
Hi guys,
I remember having that problem but it was when I tried some programs, including HTC X-button and another called Invisible Shooter. I haven't got any further incident after uninstalling them.
Do you think what you've encountered with may also link to some program you've installed?

Totally confirmed! Had same issue after replacing a touch screen. Thanks, guys, for a clue!
Hi,
my XDA Orbit have the screen off.
I can activesync the PC, and I can flash the engine.
Now I have the original OS from O2 but the screen is off.
I suppose that the screen is not broken because sometimes is on (yesterday the screen show the HTC logo screen) but it doesn´t work.
I can access to bootloader mode too but I can´t see something on the screen, I don´t see the three colors on the screen, it is black and it don´t work.
When I power on the Orbit it syncs with the PC but the screen continues black.
I made soft reset and hard reset but it didn´t make something. I flashed it with others OS but nothing.
I don´t know what can I do.
help me, please
thank you
I had an issue like that waaaay back. Though mine was to do with the baclight settings, I just tried to navigate to backlight settings while out in the sun.
This doesnt seem to be your problem though as you say you have actually managed to flash new ROM to it?
will it be a software or/and a hardware problem?
thanks
Probably hardware as you say you have flashed new ROMs to it and still it shows nothing,
Hi ive recently upgraded my WM5 to Schaps 4.31 WM6 ROm
but now theres a peculiar problem
when the screen switches off due to power saving/key lock
i cant wake it up again without doing a soft reset.
Any ideas why this might happen ? or how to solve it ?
Hi Lads,
My HTC touch diamond is doing strange, one day I woke up and suddenly it gave me a Red,Green,Blue,White screen. As I understood it's called bootlloader or something like that.
I tried reset+volumebutton after that it is starting normal and Ive got my phone back, but if I turn my phone back off its gaving me the terrible Red, Green, Blue, White screen back.
Ive tried to do a hard reset ( reset button + volume + round button) but then I have to press the volume button again to accept, but it isnt doing anything then.
Ive looked for some solutions but everything is chinese for me.
I just want my phone back to normal and I hope I dont have to loose all my files.
Can anyone help ?
I posted this in the question thread but some guy told me to post here.
Some other guy told me to reinstall my ROm but I have NO CLUE at all what I should do and what ROM is.
I didn't thought it would be such a big problem because I can still start my phone, it just gives me that ****ing Red, Green, Blue White screen and it says : serial at the bottom if I press Reset + volume down it starts as normal, but if I start it again I got that screen back.
Can anyone help me, sorry if there is already a solution be discussed on this forum, I didn't found it.
Please note that I am a dummie at this point.
Thanks

after you get a hardspl " see in athachament " , remove the batery Then put the batery, after that press the Power button + volume down and you enter the boot loader menu, after that install ROM of your choice
Good Luck, Marius.
I just updated my ROM I guess ? or what is it ... I pressed update and now I got SPL-1.40.OliNex.
But I still get the screen, can anyone tell me which rom I should install now and where I can find it ?
I want the standard ROM back like I bought my diamond.
EDIT ive installed ROM that I downloaded at the HTC website an update. Ive installed it but it is still not fixed when I star my phone I still get bootloader.
Back to the ROM then : if I start it it get struck when I have to Line out my stylus or how do you call it in english, it keeps asking again it always starts again.
CAN ANYONE HELP ^^? I am despered
Must be a solution ....
I had the same problem before, my Htc Diamond always goes into bootloader mode, the problem is that the volume down button is stuck from the tack button itself not the outside part of the button, on my diamond there was moisture in between the tack button contacts, all I had to do was replaced the button and everything works as it were brand new.
Should I buy new ones and where can I buy it ? How should U put thhem in.
I pulled out the old buttons, let it rest and after a few hours I put them back but its still the same :S. How have you fixed it ?
The button that I was talking about is inside the the outer physical button, its a tiny circular tack button you have to disassemble the other half of the Diamond to get into it and do some soldering on the button's board but don't do this yet.
I suggest try to do a soft reset on the phone, then as soon as you release the reset button hold down the volume up key to see if it boots into winmo " that's what I was doing to my diamond before just to get into winmo and not on boot loader or the tri color", if your phone boots into winmo without any problem while pressing the volume up key then its definitely the volume down button is having problems. and also before, does your diamond most of the time gets a little bit warm to the touch? even for a short phone calls? that was the first symptoms i had on my diamond before the actual key is messin' up
the tack button i got from another phone with the same size of button and had to solder it on the volume assy. pcb.
your problem is not a software issue but a hardware Malfunction. (majority of the people here are experts on software but I myself is the opposite)
