Hey, folks! Been awhile since I've been in the forum. I've got a Tilt running Dutty's 5.2.19209.
At some point yesterday my phone starting shutting off randomly at the second splash screen (after the animated one).
If I leave the SIM card door unlocked, I can go past this screen, but I soon get an error message saying to lock the door, and the phone shuts down.
I can enter the HardSPL tri-color screen and I can reflash to different ROMs. I'll get through the screen alignment and time setting and my device will start to customize, and then I get that darned message saying my SIM card door is unlocked (even though it isn't) and the device shuts down.
I've done this several times and now the phone shuts off immediately when I power on. I can still get into HardSPL, but I just can't get the phone to power on and boot normally.
Does this sound like a hardware problem?
I've read a few other similar problems on here, none of which seemed to get resolved. I bought my Tilt from a private seller, so I have no warranty.
Thanks!

Oh, and I haven't uploaded anything or switched ROMs or anything in months. This was a spontaneous occurance.

Yesterday I took my battery out of my phone to remove the dust from inside the phone. When i replaced the battery back into the phone, it booted up into the tri-color screen and has been there ever since. I haven't modified the phone since receiving it from AT&T at all. When i actually noticed the problem I tried to reset the phone through the hole on the bottom of the phone. At first, it booted up normally but was out of batteries since it had been running on a bright screen for a couple of hours. Thus it turned off immediately. I have tried to reset it again but it seems to do nothing. Since then when I put the battery back in and I turn the phone on it returns to the tri-colored screen and it says SERIAL in the bottom white area. When plugged into my computer it says USB in the white area. On the top of the tri colored screen, in the red area, it says:
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
I thought about downloading the newest ROM update from HTC but my phone wont sync with my computer, and the tutorial says it needs to in order to install properly. If anyone could help, please let me know!
Update!
I put the battery back into the phone and it booted up just fine....it was a little slow and worked normally for a couple of minutes. Soon it started to act up. When i plugged the phone into my computer it automatically started to freeze, when i unplugged it from the computer it would work just fine! I then turned my phone off again and now it is back to the tri-color screen again!
try hard-resetting the phone.
To do this, hold down the two soft keys at the front while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. Just make sure to back up any data you want, as it will delete it all (files, contacts, etc.)
Tried a Hard Reset
When I finished it, it just went back to that tri-colored screen. Now the phone will turn on every 10th time i try and work for a couple of minutes. When the screen turns off it wont turn back on when i push the power button. The green light still blinks though.
I have been having this exact same problem for a little while now, any help would be more than appreciated.
EDIT: Everything about the phone was AT&T stock ROM from Oct. '07.
i think it replacement time

Another sad update!
Well as of this second my phone works okay...slower than usual....but in an hour or so the screen will turn off and the phone will stop working, i will take the battery out.....wait about 45 minutes and hope that it boots up normally. No one has any idea why this is happening to multiple people? I have had this phone for maybe 3-4 months. Is the failure rate that broad and fast on these phones???
WTF
This phone is ridiculous. Now if I keep the phone plugged into my computer so the screen wont time off, the phone works just as normal. The moment I unplug the phone from charging it decides to die on me after an hour or so!
this happened to me last nite.
spent hours and hours trying to fix.
ended up reflashing orig att rom..
everything is fine..
proceeded on to a cooked rom and all is well..
added some apps ..
so far -- awesome
Good News!
Magically my phone started syncing with my computer randomly. Thus it allowed me to flash the rom with the original ATT rom and so far my phone is back to normal working great!
tri screen sorted
i bought my kaiser off ebay..i couldnt sort tri screen.i had various roms on at various times .i had no warranty. on pay as you go.decided to take to local o2 shop.got it back today fully working for free.took them 8 days.

KAISI*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8

I started plugging the charger in and soft reset and it would work until i could find a new OS for it, Rom or RUU I think, I am not sure if it works, but now I can't get it off Tri-Screen to run it..
Any help anyone please?

So I had some water damage to my tilt. At first it would only boot to the tri-color screen after I dried it. Now it fully boots but when winmo opens it says that the sim door is unlocked and it will turn off in 10 seconds. htc home is running in the background, and sometimes, for a few seconds it connects to activesync, then the phone turns off. I also noticed that it connects to winamp when the phone is off and just plugged into the usb.
I'd like to think that reloading the ROM would fix this. Is there a different way to load ROMS? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I would appreciate any advice. I wouldnt mind waiting for the FUZE but need a phone till then.
I have been having issues with my tilt for the past few days. Upon startup it will go to the initial AT&T screen and will stay there. The phone never dims and will stay there at least a few hours (that is as long as I have tested it).
One odd thing is that the Rom version info (red text at bottom) is missing from the screen.
Things I have tried.
Soft Boot (insert stylus into button by usb port)
Taking the battery out for a few hours and reinserting it
Hard Boot (insert stylus into soft boot hole while holding soft keys
Cold Boot as described here.
FYI. The hard boot appeared to work, but upon restart same AT&T screen. The cold boot appeared to work as well. Made it through the process, but after reboot, AT&T screen.
I have never flashed any cooked roms but did upgrade the the v6.1 rom from AT&T.
Anyone have any other suggestions of things I can try??
So what did you end up doing? I'm in the same situation... I can't figure out how to get the phone to boot so I can restore the att software.
I ended up sending it to HTC. I had to pay for shipping, but they fixed it and sent it back for free. HTC warrenty applies for 15 months from the date of manufactuer.
Ouch! I guess I better get mine shipped! Thanks for the reply.
I've looked through the forum for a solution to my problem, but to no avail, and it doesn't seem that others have the same exact problem I have.
Here goes..
To start off, my phone got wet, and as it was barely booting and crackling and flashing RLOD came on, I decided to let it dry for ~2 days, and then kept it plugged in for a day.
Now, I have normal green flashing light, the phone boots as quick as it used to, but it lags on the passcode screen (and shows my details as before), before saying that several incorrect passcodes have been entered and I need to type in 'a1b2c3', BUT before I get a chance to do so, the phone vibrates three times and shuts down :S
I have hard resetted the phone, but that didn't do any difference.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, and is there any way for me to able to save it??
Thanks beforehand
Hi Guys,
I bought an HD7 from UK with a broken screen. Just installed the screen, and tried to switch on the phone for the first time. It was stuck on the HTC logo. So I pulled the battery out, and tried to reboot, but now it vibrates 7 times and does nothing more.
BTW. I made it to boot into bootloader, and it shows the attached screen.
I tried to flash a stock NoDo rom with GoldCard, but it fails at the first step, saying:
"Radio.nbh - FAILED"
I've used the GoldCard on two other HD7s in the past, so I guess the problem lies elsewhere. Now I try to download an other original O2 UK rom, and see it it makes any differen or not.
Any clue about what could cause this? And how to resolve the problem?
Any clue about this problem?
A bit of update about this. Put the phone in a bag and put it into the freezer for an hour. After I switched the phone on, and it WORKED! Loaded up the OS, checked my emails and so on, but after around 5 mins (when it warmed up) it shut itself down, rebooted and vibrated 7 times again...
So it's a heat issue.
Also noticed that if I leave the phone for a while It loads up into bootloader, does what I want, but the more I use the worse it gets. First it freezes, then won't even switch on.
Is it a CPU failiure?

Maybe it is a bad assembly, why don't you reassemble the phone, all points to that... this happened after the disassembly, right?
