Read wiki

yeh, just hold down the reset and off button like you do for a hard reset, but also while doin that press the center button(the one inbetween the dirrections) make sure you press all these at tyhe same time...

many thanks trad,
I have found it. like what u said the hard reset way while simultaneously also holding the record button.( the ba site on bootloader mentioned hard reset way plus holding the camera button. in my case it didnot work with the navigational or the camera button but in conjunction with the record button)
doing the hard reset wAY plus holding the navigational button in my experience worked with my xda2.
deeply appreciated..rgds

camera button (left side)
power button (top right)
insert stylus (bottom left)
Do all at the same time
It worked for my UK o2 XDAiis

dunno.. many sites said its camera but, its the record button.

Stuck on Align screen (tapping works)

I just resurected my xda IIs from the grave and upon start I come to the Align screen stage. I follow the directions as usual but it just keeps asking for the taps over and over and over. It never passes the same five steps. I've tried different ROMs but they all stop there. Could it be caused by the little internal battery being dead? Is my digitizer crap? Is it martians? Are the forces of evil combining against me? Am I doomed?
I'd like to see this old guy work again.
Thanks for any tips in advance.

hard rest then hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider only and press the rest button on the bottom using the stylus.this should take you to the 4 color screen with 3 options to be set
1st one leave as NO just press the top button
2nd option as yes by pressing the bottom button then press the top button to goto the 3rd
3rd option change to yes again by pressing the bottom button
then press the message button on the front that looks like an postal letter
this wil reset the options saved kind of like resetting a pc bios to manufacture defaults .
then try again to do the alignment.
I had similar when I flashed pdaviets rom to my blue angel and that resolved it

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I broke me screen tinkering with it so I'm not able to test your idea.
I started with two LCDs one with a bad digitizer and one with a broken screen. I touch the digitizer off the one a replaced the other so that I had a working screen but then I had the problem listed above. Before I saw your response I thought I might have some dirt or something under the screen causing it to not work so I took it apart but I guess I was just a little too rough this time and cracked the LCD
I'll have to find a new LCD if I plan to resurrect this phone.
Thanks anyways for the help

I´ve tried everything with my XDA III PH20B1 - no camera model -, but I never get the 3 options screen. Just the 4 colors and bottom right the radio version R 1.10.00.
Is there any other way how to make my O2 XDA III boot after the WM6.1 upgrade ( from 2003se) ?

I have the same problem (I have already reply in another thread...), I am still trying to fix it. I suspect from the backup battery, since before I hard reset my SX66 all programs lost their configuration when I turn off and on again my SX66, and when I tried to realign the screen the align cycle repeated forever. Then I tried hard resetting, reflashing to various OS's and I can not pass the initial calibration screen.
Please keep me posted if someone have found the way to solve it.
Thanks !

no need to upgrade or delete anything from bios,this is not a cause of motherboard and software.I removed the motherboard and essembled in a working screen phone.there is no problem all ok,its not a problem with backup battery too.Then i changed working phone motherboard to cant align phone but same as before it dsnt align.Therefore in my investigation its a problem with the touch or screen.
its not a problem with screen cover too.
If any knows the exact solution for align problem screen ,please post it.

eway - press the power/stand by and leave for 15-30secs
then pen reset, press [cam] + [rec] as the 4 colour screen comes on and change 2/3 - as previously stated countless times - press [mail] to reset - this will reboot your new rom.
touch flo user manual is a little allusive
but, soo much too test, soo little time

riya2008r2k - can you plz show some pictures of the internals of a BA ?
I for 1 would be very interested, too see. . .
post a link, please!!

How to bypass Align Screen?
If you have flashed a proper rom/ hard reset your device, there could be some dust on display which won't let the align screen pass. This is a real annoying feature on WM platform. But guess there are always ways to bypass software related issues.
The display can be cleaned by patting a small amount of water on it, and then running the water along with a visiting card on the edges of the screen. This will take off all the dust on the sides, and will let you pass the align screen easily. You can simply wipe the display propely with a glass cleaner.
If this doesn't help then :
When your phone says align screen, connect the phone with computer and get it detected in Active Sync. Next, you could be able to access Tree/Files on your phone. If you are able to do so, then go to startup and delete files directing to Align Screen, if I remb it was "welcome" something. Delete the file, and there won't be any align screen.
or
You can always go for an easier method. Download Code Factory's Remore Screen Alignment (http://www.codefactory.es/en/downloads.asp?id=108). And simply enjoy.
In both of the case, active connection with Active Sync is important. If you are unable to connect your phone, then I believe there ain't any way other than changing the display.
Hope it helps.

O2 Flame
Hello everybody,
I've got a serious problem with my 2 years old O2 Flame: sometimes, when I reboot my pda, I can't realign the screen. And when I can do it, after a while, the left of the screen doesn't respond, or, when I click on it, it's another part of the screen that answers! I flashed the bios already: nothing changed.

@Gerd
Did you try Remote Screen Alignment?
Sonny

wow, that tool is awesome. My digitizer is cracked.

Also the biggest problem i am having it that my D-pad shuts off!!! when i try to use the soft keys they will not work for me. The Screen works fine! but when the soft keys don't work my keyboard don't work but the phone know i am using the keyboard as in when i press the space bar it brings down the start menu! Also when the soft keys dont work i use the on screen keyboard to type and that is even F%#!%# UP!!! i type on the on screen keyboard but i can not use the backspace on the or arrow keys. Also the scroll button on the side stops working on me also. when i am in call my soft keys shut off and i cant end a call!!! Now the weird thing about all this is i can turn them all on just by pressing one of the top soft key. (the Msg or internet button) and then everything starts to work again. now i have no clue what is wrong with it and i have tried everything from reinstalling the OS to Clearing the OS and that has not helped ! i really hope its not a hardware problem !!! Right now i have my Camera button off and the camera does not take pics on its own right now but my screen does turn on and just sits there and does nothing. But if anyone can help me solve this problem i will Donate to them = D!!!! Please Help Me Out ASAP!!!

I would try a hard reset first and/or rom reflash.. if that doesn't work better buy you a parts doner phone

Htc touch diamond doing strange, please help !

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)

Open the qwerty keyboard, and hold the enter button when that message appears, and you should get into the boot menu that way as well.
