locked up wont reinstall and now not charging! help!! - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

ok my xda locks up (nothing new there!) soft rest and all i get is a white screen! try again and the same thing happens. So i decide to do a hard reset. This appears to be working until it's loading applications and settings (O2) when it hits a .per file (i think) and tells me i need to find the source .cab file.
the 2 choices i then have are ok or cancel, niether work the bloody thing is locked up again! so i soft rest it and it's back but with no O2 settings. I try and run a back up from my pc and it all works apart from about 15 files that it cannot reinstall (mainly to do with contacts). I then sync my contact list as that is missing and all looks good! 2 days configuring it back to my liking and all looks good once again!
This morning no alarm to wake me up (bugger im now half hour late for work! lol) the xda had been on charge all night and it appears to be dead! All i can see is the O2 logo like you get at start up but with no back light. the unit does not respond to anything. I've tried taking the battery out, soft and hard reset all with no response! I try and put it back on charge and all i get is the red light come on for 2 mins then go off again! can't turn it on while on charge!
Please help as phoning O2 is really like banging our head against a brick wall!
thanks guys

i'm not to sure but i would say you have two options either download the rom from the o2 website or download the rom Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_V1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar i installed it yesterday and i haven't had any problems hope this helps

ty but if i cant turn the phone on or connect it to the pc how can i do that????
i might give O2 a call anyway and see what they say. they might offer me a new one which is always good!

o2 could offer you a new one but i read somewhere on this site that the xda IIi has been discontinued so they might upgrade to the xda exec

When I first got my 2i, I had it for a week and then out of the blue it decided to do this after a soft reset one day - got stuck at the O2 splash screen, no backlight, frozen forever. Had to take the battery out to turn it off.
Took it into the shop, the store manager said "yeah, we've seen this happen more than once", and just went into the storeroom and got a me a brand new one.
This did happen the day after I'd run the simunlock tool found on this forum, which worked successfully (I tried my Virgin mobile SIM in it and it worked first time, but I then took it back out and put my O2 SIM back in)... I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or what, but I'm not feeling too eager to run simunlock on my Alpine again until I sell it

thanks guys i thought it might be fried!
called last night but got cut off and then was after 7 so couldn't speak to anyone! :evil:
will try again and see what they say!
when i put it on charge it charges for a few mins then turns onto splash screen for a few mins then turns off and charges again and so on in a loop! really quite annoying! lol

Another thing to try is to put the device into bootloader mode and force a firmware upgrade. It can be connected to the PC but it will no longer use Activesync so the upgrade will work fine.
Once this is done it will be using more up to date firmware if you download the ROM from this sites FTP and should work better in general.

well carphone craphouse couldnt do anything with it so has had to go back to O2 went on the 10th dec and still no word

Tilt Won't Boot

I picked up my Tilt on Friday, and it's been working relativly well. Last night, I went to install blackberry connect, and once I got to the settup, my phone locked up and turned itself off. Now, when i try to turn it on, I get the AT&T splash, it goes to the windows mobile flash, and never gets any farther. In fact, the only way to turn it off is to remove the battery. I brought it back to the AT&T store and they said they won't be able to get me a replacement until next week, but I'm going to need the phone up and running again by the weekend. Anyone ever see this problem and have any idea what to do? Thanks.
first you flash HardSPL on to it from the sticky in Kaiser Upgrading! Then you flash the the AT-T ROM on to your Kaiser and it should be good to go.
Have you ever used Mtty? If so then put your Kaiser into Bootloader mode and run Mtty cmd>Info 8 and see if you have any bad blocks if not you cool. you don't have to do this i just would like to see for myself if you do.
Well I'd rather not flash my rom, especially since they said they would replace it by the weekend (that is, does flashing void the warrenty?)
And I would love to use Mtty to give you an idea of what happened, but I'm not sure how. I tried a quick google but got no help. Thanks for the help and quick reply!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I realize this is a little late but this info may help others. The same thing happened to me. I installed BB connect then boom, Tilt never turned back on.
Solution:
If you are seeing the splash screen, (assuming you mean the Windows Mobile SS) then you DO NOT need to re-flash ROMS. Hint: If you are seeing the at&t logo prior to the Windows Mobile SS then ROM is entact.
All one needs to do is perform a hard reset (press and hold the right and left softkeys while pressing and releasing reset with stylus). A message should appear "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press SEND to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel." After you hit the SEND key the ROM rebuilds itself and you'll be good to go. Hopefully you've backed up everything.
cheers

Problem with my HTC TyTn II

I have a big problem.....
My phone hung this morning on the alarm. It kept on going. So I turned off the phone. A few hours later I booted up the phone again but it didn't boot to the os... it is stuck in the 3 colored bootloader screen
I tried reflashing the original WM6.1 rom. It worked.... until the cusomization had ran. After the customization reboot there was the bootloader again.....
Can anyone help me on this?
Info in the bootloader screen is as folows:
KAIS130
SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
USB
Please help!!
First thing I'd do, is a bulk standard Hard reset on the phone. if it crashes again on the customise, then hard reset again, and soft reset before the customise kicks in.
alternatively, if you're happy to try a custom ROM, then flash it to a new one.
if these dont work, then its time to approach HTC, and see if you can get it repaired...
I allready did a hard reset after flashing my tytn and a soft reset before getting the customization screen. But every time it boots up and it wants to configure my phone. So I cannot get arround the cusomization
While re-flashing my TyTN II to the Orange WM 6.1 Test ROM I did the reset before the customisation...and what happens the phone resets itself to default. It seems that the operators have found a way to make sure that their customisations are added.
Mine is purchased without a account. So there should be no provider **** on it..... It's a realy weird problem though....
Could it be dirt??? I left the battery out for a few hours and it works for a short time. Putted my sim card back in and it stopped working. Reboot and it worked again for a short time but after te next reboot its over again and it wil not come back again. I now plan to leave the battery out for the night see how it is in the morning...
Anyona an idea (bump)
I've got the same problem.
Although I'm able to restart successfully the Kaiser randomly.
If you pay attention to the tricolor screen... it blanks the screen for a very short moment. Precisely in that moment, a message is written in the screen
" No imgafile file found! "
And then went back immediatley to the tricolor screen.
My Kaiser is HTC orginal, updated with the original HTC ROMWINDOWS MOBILE 6.1. I did not nothing special to it, I treated always it carefully... It seems a random Hardware problem. HTC is an awfull brand.
Now I have to go to HTC service... they will get my phone for a couple of months at least.... and I know (from previous experiencies) they work very very badly (they can give your phone back even broken!!)
Conclusion... HTC never more.
Did have the same problem. Asked and RMA to HTC. Shipped the phone on june 30th. Phone came back repaired yesterday !
This morning... the %$* red green blue reappear when I soft reset the unit.
Not very reliable, will have to buy another phone.

Urgent Help Needed.... Pleaseeeeee

Hi,
Coupls of weeks back i I HardSPL my device with 3.28 and installed the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.70.19.09 and since then it was working fine but today i downloaded the SKYFIRE thru WiFi and installed it though it installed correctly and after one hour my my Phone turned off automatically and when i realised that i tried to turn it on but nothing happend initially i thought that may be the battery runs out. So when i reached home and the moment i attached my phone with charger ; the orange light turned on automatically, phone vibrates and smart mobility screen appears BUT after that it start reapeating that again and again.
So after several attempts; i start reading the forum and as advised by seniors - I enter into boot loader ( successfully ) attached my phone with a PC and reflashed my phone again with RUU 3.34 and the whole flashing process completed successfully and when " Finish " button appears on my Laptop and the moment i clicked on it the Phone Vibrates ( like restarting ) smart mobility appears and thats it.... same problem....
And the moment i unplug my device from charger it even refuse to turn it on even. Presently i am using an extended battery of 2800 mah which i purchased it from UK last december but Currently i am in Canada and using Fido connection.
So now would any body tells me that its a
Battery Problem or
Hardware problem or
Software problem
Please help me out since i am out of home with a limited budget and don't want to spend on a new phone in foreign land ( canada ) and BY-GOD Canada is way too expensive - in Canada they even charge it for incoming calls and messages as well :-((( .... i was always under the impression that UK is expensive but now i realised that i was wrong...
Thanks for reading this and looking forward for a solution
Try flashing with a different ROM, probably a stock/shipped one..
Regards,
Carty..
Many thanks for the quick reply ; but can i use a stock rom on 3.28 HardSPL ?
In a word Yes. but if you have trouble connecting to the pc (as I did) flash a ROM using the SD card
Thanks to all the replies and i think its a battery problem.... now i have to buy a battery in Canada at double the amount which is easily available in UK at only 8 pounds... and in Canada its available not less than 30 CAD $...
Does anybody from Canada know a place from where i can buy a tytn-ii battery at reasonable price... specially in toronto since i am a tourist i prefer a shop a address...
Thanks
I have the same sort of problem as you...
I unlocked my phone via one of the methods on here, which was performed successfully, even managed to update my HardSPL, however since unlocking, my phone reboots, or shuts off.
It started happening when a text message was received on the ROM i was using, however since then I've flashed the same Rom as you, the HTC standard from from Zel's FAQ, along with now reflashing the Orange UK Stock rom (as per Sig) onto my phone.
The phone got as far as formatting the storage, then went to allow me to setup, and rebooted, allowed me to start the setup for the phone, then rebooted.
However, something has happened which I've never seen before.
Once it rebooted, the phone booted into Flight Only Mode, then has told me that my battery needs replacing (so am bidding on one from the illustrious Ebay).
Any ideas what could've happened? Would the original unlocking cause the phone to F*** up? Even though the whole process worked with no flaws / switching off etc at all?
Max, I'm in the UK, and if need be, i'll happily find one on ebay also and ship to you from here?

Slightly different Kaiser problem

Ok, first off ive scanned xda and cant see an answer to this specifically, hence the post.
Love the Kaiser-14months and using L26 Diamond Build
Lost the phone one night while worse for wear and bought another on ebsay-cus its a great phone. This morning new phone and where the problem begins-
Phone arrived. Good nick and standard O2 rom is onboard- no issues. Had my sim in for a while, and texting/phone/apps are normal. Now i had an old Sprite Backup file from my old phone from March so i straight away tried to back up. I didnt consider any other factors.
Now however im stuck. The phone boots. The L26 screen and music come up but eventually i hit a new message on white screen:-
"The device is unable to boot because you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.Press send to rest your device... blah blah"
Pressing send,doing nothing or hard resetting the device just keeps me going on the same cycle. I take it because i backed up a new ROM, i should have flashde this phone first. Never thought.
Can i get back to basics again?? Help.Im using a Palm treo at min and hate it.

its a brick!!!

looking for a little help guys, not sure what has happened but i have just literally (in the last 30 minutes) installed rom manager, on running the software for the first time i got the run at your own risk message that comes up the first time and then it went to the menu...... and then the phone shut down and now wont turn on, doesnt register when i plug it in to the laptop or even when the charger is plugged in. please guys need some suggestions here as to how to make this brick work again!!!
many thanks
having tried several different ways to resolve this (pressing and holding home, vol down and pwr whilest inserting the battery being one of them), ive come to the conclusion that there is no coming back from whatever rom manager has done to my phone. thankfully the phone is still within warranty as its less than 3 months old so heres hoping that they will fix the damn thing!!!
Rom manager is a tricky app because it is known for bricking phones often.
Seems like your phone is dead.
Most user with similar prob like you had to bring the phone to the service.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456946
As you are on warranty bring it there and wait till it is repaired.
Good luck.
Next time better do not work with rom manager.
thanks, yeah its weird cause when i had it on my x10 mini pro i had no issues - but clearly not the case here, oh well live n learn!!!
just as a sort of fyi i took the phone to my local t-mobile store here in liverpool and the guy behind the counter couldnt have been more helpfull, took the phone and arranged for it to be sent back to samsung for repair, even tried himself to make it work but to no avail. was most impressed with his 'can do' attitude and its not often that something like that happens!!!
