When I try to switch the phone on, there is NO vibrate, lights or anything
Cant believe my luck
any ideas?

Have you tried hard resetting the phone?

got it to work
I took battery out and left for 10mins.
Now getting "sim card missin" which olipro is saying is due to it being an old non 3g usim

AT&T Tilt locked in tri-colored screen! Help!

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
hi all once again.i was using my kaiser yesterday then my phone went into tri screen.tried hard reset soft reset.phone reboots in tri screen.im using Duttys Official WM6.1 Rom 5.2.19716 UC.
ihave kais130 mfg /spl 1-0.0lipof /cpld-8 on screen.
if there is a solution to this i would appreciate help in resolving.thanks in advance
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.
Hey, did you have any luck fixing this problem - I've been looking mad for a solution to my tri-screen problem, but no joy...
KAISI*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
appears on my screen.... I don't now how to fix this puppy and it's only a couple of months old...
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?

Tilt Spontaneous Shutdown

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.

Do I have a Dead HTC Diamond?

Hey,
I had gotten to sample the HTC Touch Diamond...and thats all. I got it as a gift from overseas (so its a GSM -simcard- phone). Long story short, I didn't want to buy the phone from the local wireless provider because I'd be stuck with them. I open up the HTC box, turn on the phone, calibrate, take a few pics, and then I decided to put in a simcard. The phone was on at the time and I wanted to make a few phone calls to test out the new phone. I have no idea what happend, but the phone just turned off. I turn it on, and there is no lights, no screen, however the phone did turn on (i felt the vibration, and heard the startup sound). I took out the battery, and put it back in a couple of times and I finally got to turn on the screen and lights, however i recieved a werid message, and it didnt seem that my buttons at the front were working right (they worked fine before when i took pics and listend to the demo music), so I unplugged the battery and put it back in..Since then I have not been able to turn on my screen.
Here is how I know the phone is on, but there are no lights and no screen:
1. the boot up vibration
2. the bootup music
3. the volume up and down
4. I am able to touch the screen to turn up and down the volume.
5. When I put in a simcard, the phone does a ring every min or so (I have no idea as to the cause as i cant see error messages)
Now this is what I did to try to fix it:
1. I tried soft reset , however pressing the reset button does not seem to make the phone restart as i can turn up and turn down the volume no matter how long i press the reset button
2. I tried a hard reset, that doesnt seem to work either. (btw im guessing the confirmation message screen and pressing the volume up key) I think that the reason why steps 1 and 2 are not working, is because the phone does not seem to want to restart!
3. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in..but i never did it for longer than a minute
4. I tried to update the rom, however the rom update application gives me a "Connection error" even though i have my phone plugged in. If i am supposed to set the connnection up from the inside then nm i cant do it cuz i cant see a thing.
5. I tried charging the phone (through USB and the power outlet)
Does anyone have any idea what happend? how can HTC Touch Diamond go from new to blank screen in about 5 minutes of usage?
plz give me all suggestions u can come up with...plz try to help me. Ive been waitign 2 years for a good phone, and now that I have one, I cant use it. Help me!
remove the sim card and see if it acts normal.
is it already unlocked?
the sim card has been removed, reinserted , and removed again.. yes the phone is already unlocked as the simcard apparently worked ( i made a phone call and the phone rang)
has no one ever come across my problem?

Help! AT&T Tilt will not fully boot!! Shuts off!!!

Hi, I have had numerous problems with my AT&T Tilt that I have always been able to have fixed here. This time I must say it is the strangest. Whenever I turn my phone on it goes through the normal boot up. The ATT page comes up and then the 3G bars up come on. Next, the green windows 6.1 screen comes on. Then the phone flashes my personal information with the top portion saying that there is no service to be found. The battery meter reads full before the phone automatically shuts off. When I try to turn the phone back on after that it turns on in the boot loader mode with the multi color screen.
The screen reads:
KAIS1*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
with serial at the bottom of the screen, or USB if plugged into my computer.
Update!
When I turned my phone on without the sim card in it, the phone fully booted up and stayed on!
Have been unable to get it to boot up now with the sim card in since it turns on with the multi color boot loader screen about half of the time. Will post what happens when I get the phone to turn on!
What if you use another sim?
For troubleshooting purposes, I woudl reccomend trying to boot it up with a diffrent SIM in there... Sims CAN "go"... I had one go on me once and my phone would jsut lock up during booting (on my old Motorola MPX200 WM2003se)... Went to my carrier, and seeing as my sim was a few years old they upgraded me to a newer sim for free... Hope that is all your problem is

I am having the same problem, but I think I caused it. I had an older mobile pohone with a Cingular SIM card still in it. I swapped the SIM cards because I wanted to use the old phone, but did not want to lose the old card (I really don't know why...). Anyhow, now my Tilt will not recognize the new card when I stick it back in?!
I did search Google, and found this: http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=106311
Tilt SIM problem
if it will recognize one SIM but not the other then it is most likely the Sim that is bad. try cleaning the gold contacts on the sim with a pencil eraser to take off any stains or dirt stuck to it.

TyTN II shutting down after Green Windows Mobile Screen

I really don't how how this problem has cropped up. Have had my TyTN II for the past 6 months and suddenly today afternoon it was off when I tried to use it. While turning on, it went upto the Green Windows Mobile 6.1 screen and then it simply turns off. What is the problem? Have tried a hard reset and still have the same problem.
Have you tried re-flashing your phone, with the original manufacturers rom.
enter bootloader by holding the camera button and pressing soft-reset.
then try connecting via USB and running your manufacturers rom update.
this will wipe all your data, but chances are, if you have already hard-reset then you will have lost all data.
I had made no changes to the ROM. It had the stock HTC Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM included.
try taking out the sim and sd card, then hard reset.
OK, it boots up without the SIM Card but not with the SIM card. Tried another SIM card but same problem. What could be the problem? My SIM card is working fine on other phones!

Is the sim card door locked and closed properly? There's a little microswitch that shuts down the device if it senses the door isn't locked it's possible for this to not be correctly aligned with the lock pin (ie not in the groove). Turn it off and take a good look at the mechanism and you'll see what I mean.
Additionally, you mention you'd tried a hard reset - did you try this with the sim and memory card out from within WM? Did the process complete properly?
I tried booting with 2 other sim cards and with them it says that there is no sim inserted. With my original SIM, it simply shuts off at the green windows mobile screen.
@Flying Kiwi, Yes, the SIM door is closed properly with that little notch extended to the right. The hard reset was done not from with WM but by the method given in the manual i.e keeping the 2 soft keys pressed and hitting the reset pin. This was done at the Smart Mobility screen with SIM and Memory Card inserted. The process did complete properly but while booting it shut off. So I removed the SIM and this time it went all the way to the screen alignment page and customizing stage. Now, it does not work with any SIM card but boots up fine without SIM.
I'm completely at a loss.
It could be a bad sim holder (surely there is a better word) or something like that. I would suggest playing around with it by opening the keyboard and then applying pressure on the door while it boots.

It was a long shot because with my TyTN II if I try that (with the WM 6.0 ROM) it gets all the way into WM and pops up a message about the sim door saying it'll shut down in 10 s - making it very clear - I've never tried it under WM 6.1 though.
Now, it does not work with any SIM card but boots up fine without SIM.

Could still be some sort of ROM corruption so what I'd like you to try is to remove BOTH the sim and memory card and boot into WM then perform a hard reset from within WM (settings -> System tab -> Clear Storage) and see if that runs right through to the end - then power off normally by holding down the power button and tapping yes. Then put in just the sim (that used to work fine with this phone) and start up again. Let us know how that goes Also have a look for any dirt/contamination in the sim slot as best as you can see, and on the sim itself.
