Anyone able to assist.
After my compact froze I did a soft reset only to see it hang on the T-Mobile splash screen (white background, pink dots). The ROM details do not even appear in the bottom right hand corner.
I have upgraded my ROM with Hard-SPL, a Radio ROM and Dutty's 1.8 ROM but that was weeks ago.
Any assistance?
AS an update, not even a Hard-Reset sorts it out.
Cannot see how the new ROM would be causing the problem as it has worked for a few weeks.
Luckily followed all the instructions and have 1.40 Olinex Hard-SPL on the phone. Just need to wait for home so I can plug it into my laptop. What I do from that point on will be the subject of a further search of this board later.

Bought it 5 days ago. When the battery went dead last night, I plugged it in to charge and switched it on .It did not go past the Windows Mobile splash screen. I took the battery out as well as the sim and memory cards, to no avail. I left it plugged in overnight and got the battery fully charged (battery indicator light is now green) and the network status green light would (at least sometimes) start flashing on boot, even though the phone would not completely boot up. I CAN get it into bootloader. What I want to know is, should I go to www.htc.com and download and install an official ROM from there, or should I leave all that alone and take it back to where I got it from before I screw it up? Additionally, the phone shows up as a Dopod D810 when registered on www.htc.com, and the radio and ROM versions appear to be lower/older than what came pre-installed in the phone. Advice anyone? I am fairly new and in the process of learning all this wonderful stuff you guys have to teach.
it seems like its already been fiddled with (correct me if i'm wrong people), i would visit the HTC club site and if you can upgrade using your serial number do that, as if you look in the trinity WIKI in "Trinity" forum (Not Trinity 6 forum, here) it states there is a different way to flash the p3600i as its setup different than the standard p3600.
This is exactly what happened to my phone when the battery died (after installing FInixNOver) Is there a problem with these ROMS, or something that happens when the phone dies!... My phone was also 'sticking/frozen/crashed' on the splash screen.
I just reflashed it with a new ROM after fully charging it again.
Thanks VISTAR. And WIZZKID - your phone works perfectly now after the flashing? And do you think it's because of the stuff you installed? BTW my ROM was an official HTC ROM. I actually got called out early this morning to do a flight to the island where I bought the phone (I am a commercial pilot flying Caribbean routes) and I packed it's backside back in the box and sent it to be exchanged. I don't have the new one yet, but I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't try something else because of this problem of sticking at the splash screen - however I only have a choice of the Kaiser and the S730 at the moment. The P3600/P3600i is among my favourite WM phones of all times, but I don't wanna have to go thru this again. What do you guys think? By the way - I only just realized that I started this post in the wrong section, so please forgive me anyone whom is not pleased by that.
iF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OF A KAISER I WOULD GO WITH THAT, ITS THE BEST OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT..
Yeah I know but I just don't like it the way I like the P3600i and some of the others. Besides I prefer no sliding hardware keyboard. Moving parts is an issue for me as I am very fussy about wear and tear/looseness. Thanks again for your help. I am gonna move over to WIZZKID's thread on this P3600/P3600i non-starting issue since I am in the wrong section of the forum. Thanks to all those who assisted...
Got a second P3600i and it did the same thing - a hard reset fixed the problem.
Hi Everyone this is my first post on xda Developers so go easy on me
Ive been reading alot about flashing to upgrade the wizard/K-Jam to use WM6 and thought i quite liked the idea, so decided to investigate further.
Im new to flashing phones/PDA's but not new to the concept of firmware and EEPROM flashing and PC's etc.
I thought as afirst timer i would follow the newbies guide posted in the "best ROM" thread.
It all looked quite straight forward so i proceeded to the first step of unlocking.
My wizard is a G3 so i followed the G3 guide and flashed with the "button ROM" and all seemed fine and the phone booted up fine etc, i then thought id reboot again (for some reason, just to double check all was well) and upon boot up the screen was scrambled i could see colours etc in the scrambled mess as if it was the blue windows splash screen ans then i got the Ping the phone usually makes of first boot that prompts fot the screeen alignment wizard, but the screen was still scrambled.
It looks kinda like when a laptop screen cable is broken so i thought maybe my cable has come loose from the mainboard, i decided to open the phone up and check,
No the cable was fine, i chcked all the connectors inside and put the phone back together.
Booted up, Still scrambled
I then decided to cut my losses and reflash to the standard Imate K-jam Rom, so i went and downloaded that from imates website and reflashed.
booted up, still scrambled
Have i somehow bricked my phone?
Has someone come accross this before, and got any idea of a soloution?
It seems to me like there is something wrong with the screen but why would i go wrong when flashing a ROM ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

i think k-jam is g4 atleast mine is g4. this is only the hint that u might hav flashed wrong rom.
mine is G3 as it doesnt have the trailing numbers after the spl it just says 216 not 216.00.00 ...etc ....etc so i think im correct in saying mine is a G3 and i flashed with a G3 ROM.
And when i flashed the Button ROM it was OK untill i restarted because i saw the splash screen and the screen alignment wizard.
Once the screen went bad i reflashed it with the genuine Imate Kjam rom and its still bad.
I have HyperDragon III ROM (the 1st rom I installed after buying MDA Vario III), radio 1.71.09.01. Sometimes touch screen works perfectly, no matter if I use stylus or finger. However, sometimes it reacts too slow (2-10 seconds delay) and needs harder pressure.
Above is valid for keyboard, sometimes it reacts light fast, but sometimes I had to keep button pushed for 1-2 seconds to make letter appear on screen.
I had this problem with default T-mobile ROM with 1.65.24.36 radio, also with HyperDragonIII with 1.65.24.36 radio.
I know how to change ROM and Radio. However, I never played with SPL. I think guy who sold me the phone changed HardSPL (obviously, since I can change ROMs).
Can wrong HardSPL make described problems? Is there a combination that will make Kaiser extra stable?
It's frustrating when I need 5 minutes to write a SMS, while guy next to me finish it in 10 seconds with his Nokia N70 (4X cheaper).
I found out this regarding SPL version:
Kais130 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
To simplify my question: Will change of the SPL solve my problem. If it's not related to my problem, I would rather not touch it.
Thanks all
Probably.
HD III is a WM6.1 ROM. For the best results with the 6.1 ROM's you should be using the 3.* versions of Hard SPL.
Follow the instrucitons in Post #2 of the thread and away you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922

Check the fifth sticky in the kaiser rom development for changing your spl, I'd be willing to bet thats your problem. Also check the rom thread to see which spl the author recommends using for his/her respective rom.
Welcome to xda, in the future please try to search/browse (this is a problem that has been discussed many times before) and #2 post questions in an existing thread (in your case the hyperdragon thread)
Works significantly better with 3.29. Sorry for my dumb post, I am reading this forum for months (although it's my first post). SPL themes sounds too complicated to me so I didn't want to touch (until I am 100% sure that would help).
i started having this problem a month ago. after boot the PPC writes something in red and after a few seconds gets black
i recorded it so it would be clearer

i tried installing a few roms and even the original one from htc website
i would appreciate any help you can give me
Very strange. What SPL version doyou have? Have you used cooked roms? Anything else happend to the phone?
HTC trinity original ROM
Here is the original HTC Trinity ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/202845245/Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.zip
1. Press on/off button + camera button + reset (using the stylus)
2. You should now be in tricolor screen.
3. Connect the usb cable.
4. Make sure you have activesync runing.
5. Install the rom provided in the link.
In the link you will find rom+radio. (Radio version 1.20)
Here is a newer radio version 1.56:
Hey! My trinity have the same problem!!!
I habe all test: Without sim, without SD, with SD, with SIM (with SIM screen is grey)
What have you done?
Original ROM - same problem
Mine was doing this earlier
seemed that their was dirt stuck in the reset button hole causing it to stick in slightly
I got this problem too. My trinity would turn on and start to fade away. But mine was a liltle more artistic. Many times i saw a kinda round spot in the middle of the screen that become black, then half of the screen would black out and then the rest of the screen. Sometimes i even got colors.
I noticed if a had a fully charged battery the phone would work perfectly.
But most of the time it turn on, but the screen stayed black with the retro light on.
I was told to try the unbrick exploit.
me too !!! i have the same problem with my htc 3600 ? can someone help us to fix our htc's 3600 ?thanks in advance....
have you fix it ?
hi all
I have a small problem with my htc p3600. It's not starting. It's loading only the bios but it's freezing with the screen picture and is not loading the WM 5.0 I try to change the WM5.0 with a new one but I don't have a active sync. connection.Please help
has anyone found a solution to this problem ?
anyone have a solution?
Finally, what you should do?
Since the Trinity / P3600 is getting old now, I believe more and more people are going to face this strange problem sooner or later.
So I thought I should save your time and tell you what you should do when your trinity starts behaving like what was described at the beginning of this thread.
YOU SHOULD DO NOTHING !!
THERE IS NO QUICK FIX
THERE IS NO WORKAROUND
THERE IS NO CHEAP SOLUTION
I have searched and tried everything mentioned in this forum that might slightly be related to the problem and all solutions failed.
So after days and days of experimenting, I gave up and sent my device to HTC dealer who called me few days later to tell me that the mother board needs to be replaced.
The dealer told me the cost will be around $213, but they said they are going to sent it back as it is, because they don't have that board model anymore!!.
Even if they had, for an old device like this , I don't think it worth that mush money to fix.

Hello,
I resolve the problem with this : Simultnous press Power and Camera buttons and softreset, you'll got bootloader, three colors mode. Perhaps a little error message like this WLAN error but if you plug usb, it's ok.
Hope this good for you (excuse my poor english)
I've had this same problem for about a year now and keep coming back to it.
Any forward momentum on solving the problem would be appreciated as I quite like this phone.
1. The phone will boot FINE without a SIM
2. It hangs like in the video (or other strange screens) as soon as I insert a SIM card (partially or fully)
3. I've tried 3 different SIM cards
4. I have no SD cards
5. I have installed 3.20.Olipro
6. An official ROM is re-installed
I must admit the phone has had a hard life (or is it just the cheap plastic coatings HTC use)
No sooner did I post this did I find a solution.
For anyone that is interested...I have managed to re-install the original HTC ROM but HAVE NOT managed to install a workable 6.5 ROM yet.
So, the answer I found was:
1. Put P3600i into bootloader mode (push camera+power+reset buttons for 2 secs and get triple colour screen)
2. Re-flash HardSPL 1.1 from my PC
3. Re-flash original HTC ROM (WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108) by agian putting P3600i into bootloader mode first
I since tried several different radio stacks but haven't noticed any difference in reception so have left the original stack on (1.46.30.11) as it gives the best phone call quality
I love the UI of the latest WM6.5 but if the P3600i doesn't run them properly I'll just have to do without.
Good luck with your own unbricking.
it was working fine for me when i put a little piece of rubber between the processor and the metallic cover of it but after 3 months i have the same problem and the paper dont work anymore.... now when i press the power button the screen is black, only the backlight is working anyone have any ideas what to do?
OMG WTF, as soon as I saw this thread I switched my HTC P3600 on and it started doing it I reckon this is cursed, I will upload a video onto Youtube later and show you that is what happened.
I had this problem myself, didnt know what i was doing wrong, altho my tri color screen did this, not the boot one.
I removed memorycard and voila, everything went smoothly.

sorry 4 my mistake
Hi All
Can someone please help me out as I have searched the forum but just can't seem to find the answer.
I did a hard SPL for G4 (prophet) I confirmed that it was a G4 before doing this and flashed a new rom, since then no matter what rom I flash (shipped or cooked) I can not get the screen to settle. It seems okay in the bootloader and the splash screen but as soon as the OS kicks in the screen moves from left to right and flickers. It also takes me a couple of attempts to get the rom to load.
The screen was swapped for a known good one, but no success and the MB has been confirmed as good.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
