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
stuck in 4 color screen

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

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.

This is for HTC Wizard, but it should work.
Alright my phone just started to act up last night ! My phone just started to take pictures on its on the camera would turn on and sit there and take them. IDK why!!! 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!!!
Thanks!!!
well thats screwed upp. lol
yea i cant help you. i just wanted to tell you how screwed up it was.
I would try a hard reset first and/or rom reflash.. if that doesn't work better buy you a parts doner phone
My Touch Pro 2 kept reverting to the TouchFlo home screen within a couple of seconds of opening other applications (eg. click on a new email, and a second later it goes to TouchFlo. Soft resets didn't make any difference: nor did disabling TouchFlo (from the Settings/Today/Items menu) - it then just reverted to the Windows home screen instead. So I tried to hard reset the machine. I read that the way to do it is to hold send+end+power, but that didn't do anything. Some posts suggested that volume down+reset was the way to do it, so I tried that. I've now got a tricolour screen, which starts:
RHOD100 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.84.0000
A bit more searching suggests that this is the bootloader (?) screen that comes up when you want to flash a ROM, and I feel dangerously close to doing something expensive and irreversible. Any suggestions as to how to get out of this screen? Nothing obvious when I search the forums here. I was thinking of just taking out the battery. And any thoughts on how to hard reset - or how to stop deal with the original problem?
Thanks
You ain't going to mess anything up. You can flash a new rom from there though but there is no way to do it by accident. Don't you hard reset by holding down the green and red call buttons and soft reseting? I remember it being different from the Touch Pro 1.
you might head over to the rom section, read up on the "flashing your phone for the first time" thread. Answer is most likely in there.
Thanks for coming back so quickly guys. The ROM flashing thread didn't explain how to get out of the tricolour screen. Meanwhile I just took out the battery and that did the trick. I still couldn't hard reset using the send+end+power buttons as instructed here and in the manual. I was able to get to the Settings/System/Clear Storage menu and was eventually able to keep it open for long enough to enter "1234". That hasn't dealt with the original problem, though - switching back to TouchFlo after a couple of seconds in each application. It's also beeping incessantly. Any ideas?
It sounds like your device is registering a phantom End key press every couple of seconds. That would explain it popping you out to the home screen and the beeping. If your End key is indeed acting weird, that would also explain why you can't hard reset using the power+send+end key combination.
You should send it in for warranty replacement...

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Now that you mention it I realise that it's the same kind of beep and the same result as the End key.
I've only had it for 2 months. I'll get on to HTC.
Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out here.
I'm looking to hard reset my l8150 because I have a fault with my screen and I want to make sure it's a hardware fault before I send it back (a large proportion of my screen doesn't respond to me touching it). The only problem is that my home button doesn't work any more, so I can't hard reset it through the usual fashion (holding the buttons on startup). I can't get into my phone because the screen isn't working where I need to draw my password, so I can't reset it through the settings menu either
Is there any way I can get around this and do a hard reset?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Tom
I'll try to be as thorough as I can describing my problem in hopes that some of the smarter people here can help me find some kind of solution or workaround:
I've recently gotten a used Desire Z. The few obvious things when I first got it were:
-Phone had obviously been opened at some point, and not put back together all that well.
-From certain hints I assume the touch screen has been replaced.
-It seemed to have a completely stock (stock HTC, that is) bootloader and ROM, Gingerbread.
-The screen response was mirrored in portrait (left touch gave response to the right). A Hard Reset fixed this.
-The capacitive buttons did not respond. No vibration either.
-The optical trackpad responded normally.
In an attempt to fix things, I went through downgrading and permarooting, then installed Gen.Y VisionX B4. No problems, everything went fine and according to the guides. I performed a full wipe before installing.
The ROM runs quite smoothly on my DZ.
However, I still don't have working capacative buttons. After remapping the trackpad-click to "Back" (just to be able to use it at all), I've tried to figure out how to get them working again.
I've seen mention of a fix in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847824 , but the file is no longer available on multiupload.
I've tried installing Enhanced_Keymaps_r3-Andromadus_Audacity.zip, which did not make the buttons work.
I've tried changing build.prop to show the Nexus-like software keys on the bottom of the screen (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) but this didn't produce any effect at all (is this because of htc sense?).
In other words, I have a Desire Z that is hampered by the capacitive buttons not working, and no real idea how to fix it.
I've opened the screen portion of the phone and checked the cable connections, but they all seem fine.
I am at a loss.
Hopefully, someone here will laugh at my n00bness and point me to a simple solution.
Anyone? Please?
it is very possible it is hardware, if the digitizer is new and working all besides the soft keys then my best guess is the ribbion or the keypad is bad, if your familiar opening it up, as it appears you are its a simple fix and cost about 15$ on ebay or amazon.
it is possible the main flex is bad, but my bet is the keypad

Thanks guys, that's the kind of info I was hoping for.
What feels strange is that the entire touchscreen is working otherwise (to the point where touching the soft buttons will activate the function directly above it on the screen) and if the flex for the buttons where shot, I can't understand why the optical trackpad is working, as it is on the same flex...
But I guess it's possible to keep guessing forever.
Does anyone know why the on-screen softkeys that come with ICS won't work? Does sense override that?
