Screen not turning White when buring Rom - HTC Excalibur

Hi,
Have the Kavana ROm installed, latest.
I can't seem to get to burn any ROMs now at all. The process ends when the progress bar reaches 3% then give me error.
before we get to that, there USPL part where my screen should turn white - that never happens for me...could that be why i can't update to other ROMs...if so then how did i manage to install the Kavana ROM just fine?
I can't get my hands on a original t-mobile ROM because links from the official thread don't seem to work...but i have tired the 1.33 and 1.27 official HTC roms both which give me errors as described above.
Thanks

Are you pressing the center button on the D-pad when prompted?

You must be skipping a step or doing something wrong if the screen doesn't turn white while trying to flash a ROM. Are you sure you're looking at the screen of the device, while following the instructions word for word ?

Camera Button problem..

Didn't notice it till today, but my camera button (#5) isn't working? When you hit it, nothing happens.
I thought maybe it was a bug in the rom I'm using S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_V1) so I flashed back to MRH_8.4_Sun Shower. Button still doesn't work, so I remapped it to Button #4 (Comm manager) and now when I hit Button #4, the camera comes up and I can see everything on the LCD screen but I still can't take a picture?? When I tap Button #4 to take a picture like you normally would with Button #5, nothing happens?? It doesn't take a picture?
Is there another way to take a picture from within the LSD screen while your viewing the shot you want to take? There is all kinds of adjustments for taking pictures on the LSD, but I don't see an actual button you could tap on the LCD to take a picture?
Dont know but...

Don´t know the answer but i think you will have more luck reposting these on Hermes - Hermes Thread.
Good Luck.
Thanx. You might be right. I keep it here for now and see what happens. I don't want to get in trouble posting the same question in a bunch of different forums.
may be try the button 5 fix from my 4shared ... I am sure the camera worked when I tried starbase's

What's the file called? I looked in the Cab section of 4shared, and didn't see anything in there regarding it.

If your camera button is broken, and you have mapped camera.exe to another button, cant you just take photos using the d-pad to operate the shutter?
The other thing you could look at is VJKeyPress from vijay555, as then you could set any hardware button to press the enter key and take a pic. I'm not sure how you would go about setting the same button to open the camera and open the shutter, but maybe a 3rd party app so long press opens camera, and short press takes photo.
happened to my Hermes too. I dropped it from my pocket and it does exactly what you say.
Just use the center button on the d-pad to take a picture.
My Camera Button don't work, too. So, I use the center button on the d-pad to take a picture, too.

SWEET! Thank you! I never thought of that. I love this forum!
I thought the camera button was #4?
At least it is on my phone. Your not trying to map the wrong button are you? Or did I just get really confused by reading the thread? haha

I think your right. It's button 4. I moved it to the comm mgr button 3.
Low Memory!
I re-routed the camera to the comm mgr button #3. Now with the TouchFlo rom I'm getting a low memory error message and the camera won't load!
I'm going to switch roms and see what happens.
SUCCESS!!
I just installed a new version of the TouchFlo 2D rom. Still couldn't get button #4 to work, but after I re-routed it again to button #3 - YES! I have a camera again!! No error messages!
I really like this version of the TouchFlo 2D rom. Works great so far - no hard resets after 8 hours of use. AND my camera works with it without low memory error messages.
That's what I'm talking about!! (see signature below for version)
Thanx everyone!

Auto Rotate HTC Touch HD Screen

I have found an application that automatically rotates the HTC touch HD screen. Works 100% perfect.
I'll try this.Thanks in advance!!!!!!
gsen is an old application already tested many times here!
Conclusion is: the best rotate screen was manually rotate with "press and hold call button"!
BTW, you can found gsen latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939

In registry, find:

All I can say is press a little to the left of the keyboard symbol. You may need to use your nail to carefully tap the very left side of that keyboard symbol.
thanks mate. it works. fantastic. don´t know, why it didn´t work until now...

I myself got this issue as well. What worked for me is if I press the bottom most of the keyboard icon to get it to close. I pretty much have to press so far down I'm partially touching the middle of the zoom slider. That's what made it work for me.....

[Q] [q] windows mobile 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 OEM rom

Hi everyone. I'm new to this website and I'm new to posting in general. I just want to know if anyone knows where I can get the official oem rom of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 or 6.5.5? Not a cooked rom or anything like that. The official one. If anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it

Dont think one was released for this phone...
I could be wrong though.
I thought thats why the chefs take other phone ROMS and cook it for our Rhodium.
Otherwise you could download it from the HTC (or your carrier) site.

Ohhh thanks for replying. I didn't know they used other phone ROMS. But do you know of any ROMS that are good for the our Rhodium? I've used some ROMS before but they change stuff like the home button. They make it go to the start menu instead of home. Do you know a nice ROM where they let the home button actually go to the home screen?

Yes there is in fact a home button. It has the windows logo on it.
I think you will find on here that most people will refer to that as the start button, and whilst I have been using newer ROMs for ages, I cannot remember when it did much else than go to the start menu?
No I'm talking about the button next to the back button on the htc touch pro2. That button sends me to the home menu with the time and weather and stuff.

if on a manila tab. you press the "home" button... you go to start menu. you press the "home" button again... you go back to the manila tab you were last on. hope that helps. : )

Which side of the back button ? You said it had a windows logo on it though ? I have a button with a windows logo (to the left of the back button), which correctly pulls up the "Start" menu. I have a button with a picture of a house (and a phone) on it) to the right of the start button, which goes to the Sense home tab.
I am confused. Presumably you are talking about the real buttons not the soft on screen buttons?
My TP2 has (from left to right)
The pickup phone button
The start button (windows logo)
The back button (arrow)
The endkey button (phone down logo and little house)
If I push the endkey when away from the homescreen it takes me back to the home page.
That still works for me. (Not on every manila tab, but most)
The start key has only ever (for me) mimicked what the soft start key does. (Which in my case is start Quickmenu as I have binned the normal start menu).
Guys, you are forgetting that he has TMOUS TP2, which has really HOME button next to the BACK and Pick up.
Anyway, I really prefer having it mapped to Start Menu, because on Home you can get by pressing end key too, so why use two keys for one thing? Wasting keys .

I was going by what he said below, which is what made me think he had an HTC-branded phone :

Oh yeah I forgot to add that. I do have the T-mobile version.
It a matter of taste, but I prefer the Valkyire roms, you will need to try a few to make your own decision.
Lol the reason your home key opens up the start menu is the same reason why your ctrl key on your keyboard is actually your alt key; you flashed a ROM that the keymapping is to a different Touch Pro2, if you google you'll find the TMOUS Rhodium/Touch Pro2 Keyboard fix...

[Q] ROM/APP: permanent nav buttons on screen?

My home, back and recent buttons on the phone are broken. I hpermanent ave root but that's not the reason.
So, is there an app or Rom which can put those buttons permanent on bottom of screen, and then make the rest of the screen the display. So it should lower the height of the viewport, and put those buttons in the remaining space below.
I've tried "button savior" app, but I don't want those buttons as an overlay.
The screen on the phone is big enough to use some of it as a permanent button area I think.

most aosp roms and some sense roms have the option to show the "nav bar" at the bottom, some even have the option to change the colour of the buttons

Try the ParanoidAndroid ROM.
You can enable those buttons in there and you can even customize them exactly the way you want them to be! (the size, color, etc...) :victory:

Sorry for not replying for so long.
Those buttons are enabled by default, so that shouldn't be a problem. The latest version of this ROM can be found here. However, why didn't you just have a look yourself? It can be found pretty easily in the Original Development section
