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.

we should create a club and name it the fellows with the x-screens :x :x :x
Hey guys do something, where are the experts ??? I am sure its just software problem, I installed some software and next morning touchscreen was not working. I didnt dropt the pda.
Qbukhari.
Just a thought, try putting the device into bootloader mode then hard resetting the device.
Also try putting it into bootloader mode, updating the complete ORIGINAL rom and hard reset to complete the install.
Bootloader mode = power button + reset button + action button right ???
I have done so, problem still there
I have replaced the ROM downloaded from clubimate ----- problem still there
I have also tried to replace the XDAII rom ------ problem still there
now tell me where to get the ORIGINAL ROM ??? I am sure if the original rom is inserted it will be working again. btw pug can we talk online ? I am online now
[email protected] (msn messenger)
qbukhari.
hey all, I finally solve this problem, in the hard reset screen, there is menu for me to choose what to do in during the hard reset, like clear storage, registry... and i choose to clear all, then my XDA II is now work fine. (in the hardreset menu the backlight will not on, so it is not visible to find out the menu, also to change the setting use the botton of record, camera & volume button to control the menu.) good luck everyone!!
Thats a relief
Hi kindly tell me how to find that menu ?? I am sure I didnt damage my Alpine its just software problem let me fix it too.
Tell me how to find that menu during a hard reset plsssssssss
qbukhari.
WHERE IS THAT MENU??????????????
Menu ????
Still waiting for a reply, kindly tell me how to access "Clear Storage" function during the Hard Reset
qbukhari.
probably fake trying to make impression :?:
Too Sad
Dear Kabintos,
When you go in the setting/memory it is displayed total 122mb main memory in my PDA2 is this the same situation with you too ?
qbukharil.
The bootloader menu is not, as far as I'm aware, on the Alpine as it automatically detects network frequencies etc. Henrypak mentions XDA II not XDA IIi.
The program memory and so on in the Memory tab is only 122.04MB. Memory is quoted different to how most people think. 128000000 / 1024 / 1024 = 122.0703
The .03MB is taken up with partitioning of the memory to allow for storage etc.
Have a look at the hard drives on your computer for example, a 30GB hard drive is only 27.9GB. It's just how the manufacturers quote storage space, in thousands of bytes. Computers work them out in thousand and twenty fours of bytes.
To be honest Qamar, the more I think about your problem, the more I think it is a hardware issue, not software. If you've recently purchased the Alpine, it will still be under warranty and you should be able to take it back for an exchange. If not try opening it up and removing and reconnecting the ribbon cable for the screen from the mother board.
Obviously you've tried flashing it again, if the touchpad isn't working then you can't get past the screen alignment at the beginning of the ROM installation after a hard reset.
Out of curiosity, if the touch screen isn't working, how did you get to see the Memory status on your Alpine? None of the buttons are defaulted to settings or the start menu.
PDA2 live again
Hi All,
Well well well, here I am back in the game again. It was at the last moments when I was almost ready to send my Alpine for repairs when I got tip from a friend from uk. He sent me a tool to format storage completely.
After reseting the Alpine with reformatted storage the touch screen was back a bit misaligned though, after aligning it once its 100% fit now. How can I thank you my friend ???
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers !!!!!!!!!!
qbukhari.
gbukhari pls send it to me m8 pls pls and ill thank you as you were thanking your firend that send it that to you :lol: also i wanted to ask you if you test really hard your machine after that in case it would do the same thing again
my email [email protected]
Can someone post a 100% tried and tested solution to the tapping problem?
TIA
Yeah...!
Can someone please post some instruction on sortingthis issuse out....
Lossing sleep over the thought of having to replace my screen.....
Cheers,

Hi everyone,
I had exactly the same issue with my XDA2i about a week after I purchased it (around 3 months ago). I was happily browsing the web over wifi around a friends house when the screen locked. I had to hard-reset to get it up again but it got stuck in a loop whilst aligning the screen, it wouldn't go past this stage at all.
I phoned the online shop I bought the device from and they told me they had had lots of people reporting the same symptoms and that they had identified a faulty batch. I was sent a replacement from a new batch about 4 days thereafter. The new one has worked fine ever since.
If it is a software issue that's fixable, great, go for it. But if your device is still under warrenty I'd suggest getting a replacement - worked for me!
Sorry I can't be a bit more posistive but thought I'd let u all know.
*server duplicated post*
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.
Heeeelpp !!!
I am going crazy over this problem :
I have had my HTC Diamond for less than two months and it has worked fine.
Two days ago it started misinterpreting my stylus' pointing on the screen.
It seem that the sensory-element in the screen has "moved"...
I have recalibrated the screen several times and it works for some 6 - 10 clicks.
Then the touch of the stylus is either not registered (if I try to reach something on top part of the screen) or I get results as if I was pointing between 0,1cm - 1,5 cm or more above og under (it varies) the actual contact point of the stylus (needless to say - I have given up using my fingertip).
I have tried with soft reset and have also tried the hard reset but to no avail.
It means that I can't use the phone for one thing and also, that most of the other functions are out of reach or very very hard to use because of the displacement.
Ozgur ? / Anybody ?

I have exactly the same problem on my wifes Diamond. Just havent got round to reporting it yet, thought i'd let her suffer a while first.

If it is acting up like mine, she must be crawling the walls by now and refusing any form of physical contact - just like the phone does ...
Mine is so bad now, that I can't call a number from my list or pick up the phone without 4 -5 tries at hitting the right spot let alone using any other function.
Against better knowledge I today updated the ROM with the new one from HTC - and it is quite evident, that is is a hardware thing.
I am handing in my complaints and the phone today.
I had the same problem on dutty's v2.2 rom yesterday. I reflashed a radio as i had problem with gps as well and it is good back again. Reflash your radio. If not flash radio and other rom. Usually HTC rom don't upgrade your radio!
Same problem here, my diamond stated misinterpreting slightly the stylus, now it's all just messed up, wherever you click, it detects the pulsation at the upper left side of the screen. It doesn't pass the calibration phase either.
I did not try to reflash the radio, just reflashed the stock SPL and original Vodafone ROM for sending it to RMA. However they are telling me that the whole RMA-thing will take AT LEAST 2 weeks. Over 15 days without my phone. I need it, that's madness! They should give the users a new phone and send the other back to HTC for whatever they want to do with it!
I think it happened after I tried playing a bad-formatted WAV file and the phone crashed. Should I try the Radio thing?
Hi folks,
As the tittle tells, now and then when I close the keyboard from my herald it resets itself...Does not always happens, sometimes I cannot reproduce it, and sometimes it does it several times in a row...
This is my 2nd Herald, the 1st one did this also until the touchscreen failed. Got that one repaired under warrenty. While this one whas in repair, my wife bought me a 2nd one with a German Rom and this one has now been affected with the same bugg...?!
Its just out of warranty now...I guess I could start using the "spare" P4350 but it came out of warranty with a French keyboard and Rom, not really what I prefer...
So anybody an idea? Bad connection between the slider and the body or a problem on the mainboard?
It seems that nobody has experience with this "problem"?!
Well, for me its simple...its my last HTC phone...2 phones who have the same problem, no thanks!
If it gets worse I will give it a hard reset with a hammer, that will solve it for once and for all...
I have a tmobile wing that had the same problem. turns out that after 20 or so times in a row, I decided to figure out what was happening, that it was the battery not making good connection. and closing the keyboard would cause the battery to jar loose for a split second and loose power. I cleaned the battery and the phone terminals and mine hasn't done it since . hope this helps
I've had that problem before with other HTC devices (wizard / Tmo MDA) ... I ended up just getting an exchange.
i've also had this problem with my herald. I fixed it with this file, I think you know how to use it...
file
This file is an Rom...If this would solve the problem I prefer to flash it with an official Rom from HTC...but why would it run fine for a year if its a Rom problem?

Hi Msa!
Going back to your question...have you already tried a soft reset? Have you maybe installed any apps recently? you might want to uninstall those apps which could cause the fault....maybe you upgraded your ROM/Radio recently?? Try a fresh install if your problem persists..
Please tell us a little bit more....be more specific.....
Good luck mate
Kind regards
Jeroen
If none of that works (soft reset etc) you might have to do a hard reset and lose everything.
What have you done on it recently?
At what point does the black screen come on? Do you get rom info etc at the beginning?
I had the same problem
I had the same problem, I sent my phone to htc they replaced my mother board and sub board.
I think It's a well known problem and htc knows but will not recall.
Tal
if ur gonna send it back, make sure u have restored the original ROM and SPL.
Thanks Guyzs,,
All I have done is, I downloaded the latest ROm from the HTC website and the phone worked good, suddenly the screen turned black
I have tried everything to do rest (soft n hard) but the problem it when I turn on the device I cant see anything ALL BLACK, not even the first screen and when i tried to connected to the PC I couldnt run the hard reset as well cuz it says he HTC is not connected
???
Best Regrds
black screen no response
I had same problem a few times,what you have to do is take the battery out of the phone for a few seconds,and then replace it.You should be able to switch it on and it should reboot up,at least mine does.Im thinking about having it replaced,because it has goes dead with a black screen a few times and nothing works till i do the above action
ok
Thanks,
I have done that as well,, nothing works :S
thats is so baad
Is your battery fully charged..?
I encountered this once and after leaving the phone on charge for say 30 minutes, everything was back to normal. Sice you say you have upgraded ROM and all, maybe your battery is completely drained.
Hope it helps.
hey,
yea it could be from the battery
Important !!!
