I installed the Kaiser Tweaks in order to solve the problem of the screen going dark after a few seconds but it doesn't make any difference. I did a soft reset still no success. The other thing is that no matter what i set the timer to for the back light it still goes off after a few seconds even if I uncheck "turn back light off...". I have emailed HTC on 3 occasions and they don't even bother to respond. Any help will be appreciated.

Have you upgraded to 6.1 ? HTC has issued a fix for this. It has worked for me.

Some people are just so ungrateful. No need to be sarcastic. Read your answers more carefully and you wont have comments like "Ahem".
Someone was gracious enough to answer our post. The least you can do is be respectful.

Is it possible to install the above fix on a HTC TYTN II phone running Windows Mobile 6.0? I am having this same issue.

It is the continuation of this kind of crap that makes people like me just not want to help anyone any more.
And no , it is only a fix for WM 6.1 Rom update.
Thread has gone off topic. And Utlimately the KaiserTweak Question should have been posted in the KaiserTweak Thread.

I am using a custom RoM on T-mobiles service. However, the first boot screen is ATT. How can I put my own picture in there? Is that even possible?

There is no solution to a bricked phone. It makes an expensive desk decoration though.

Not really sure where to start on this one....
1) Wrong forum, should be in the Q&A section because this is the developers forum.
2) Not really sure what you mean by the last line.
3) As far as I know, there is no way to bring back a truly bricked G1, although there are always tons of people who think they are bricked when they aren't.

First thing's first. Can you boot into recovery? If you don't know what that means it's when you hold the HOME+POWER buttons while the phone is off. If you can get to a screen with an exclamation mark inside a triangle I think you'll be fine.

Hate to tell you but about all you can do with it is use it for parts.
MOD EDIT
Thread moved to Q&A
Once a device is bricked it is unrecoverable.
Hold the HOME+POWER buttons. Can you get to a screen with an exclamation mark inside a triangle?

It was worth asking. I've seen loads of people saying "ZOMFGXZORS I can't get passed the G1 screen" and then the next post "Alt-w and alt-s the rom and mah G1 is unbricked!!". So yeah, If you cant get in to recovery or bootloader you're done for, enjoy your paperweight.
I've had the phone for a while now, completely stock mind you. Every now and then the home and back buttons don't work. I would have to lock then unlock the screen to get it working. Happens about twice a day. Any ideas?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245637
Yeah, literally a couple posts above you. Please search before posting.
I did search before posting and all I found was a thread about controlling the lights and issues with its sensitivity and also I came across a thread where someone inquired about using the HTC logo as a button. Instead of being useless you could have just reported your answer. Or add something of value. Asshole

Hello everybody. You're my last hope!
Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.
I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.
Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.
After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?

When I plug my USB cable into the device, LITERALLY nothing happens. No sound, no vibration, nothing on the screen nothing. My computer doesn't know I've plugged anything in, not even on Device Manager.
Forget about connecting to the PC, can you enter download mode (Vol down, home and power)?

The link you listed is very reliable JTAG service and costs $50 US. I would use DHL to ship it.
If thats not an option, you can buy a replacement mainboard. I would use www.tvc-mall.com in Hong Kong.
OK...

Sorry for not reading more carefully, and for not realising the difference between recovery and download mode.
I've tried vol down and I'm still getting nothing. I tried it with my USB cable plugged into my PC, and once I got a notification that it tried and failed to find a device driver for the "Unknown device".
Yes and now u download the driver for it.

Firstly, my PC only saw the device ONCE. I haven't been able to get it to happen again. Secondly, even if I do download a "Samsung N7000 driver" or whatnot, it's no good if the PC can't see that I've plugged in an N7000. "Unknown device"???
Reports of my stupidity have been greatly exaggerated.
Some maturity please
Goodness you guys are in a real snark aren't you?
Look, the whole point of this forum is that I don't know something that you do. I ask the question, and anybody who's feeling helpful today tells me what I need to know.
But when somebody, as in my case, clearly isn't aware of, say, a separate download mode that is accessed by pressing the vol down key, all they get is sarcasm and snobbery. The person asking for help gets treated like an idiot, and this gets "thanked" for "putting the noob in his place". Everybody's so busy giving themselves an ego massage they forget to come up with any actual solutions.
I didn't come here for that.

Who started the sarcasm? The person who wanted help switched to arrogancy when a really helping member showed the correct way.
And: you install custom roms on your device without even trying to read and learn as a necessary preparation. But demanding help without listening.
As you said: we didn't come here for that too.
You might reconsider and start reading the standard tutorials here how to root etc. Most members did this. The sort of "Noob" and "so I do not need to read myself" are luckily rare.
OK calling a truce here

I'm sorry if that came across as arrogant. Not being aware of a vol down download mode, I thought it was the other person who hadn't bothered to read up, and that was my way of keeping it light instead of flaming the person. Turned out the person who hadn't read carefully enough was me, and I apologised for it, if you remember.
Actually, I have read the standard tutorials about how to root and followed the instructions very closely. I also am not the kind of person who says "I do not need to read myself", I merely misread, as I said about ten times already. I simply never needed the download mode while rooting my phone, and missed the distinction between download mode and recovery mode. Strange, I know, but there it is.
I am not demanding help without listening. What I am demanding is a little patience and politeness. Can you say that you have added anything to the conversation except sarcasm and put-downs?
my last addon to this not even funny thread:
if you read so many tutorials and following them so closely but missed download mode: maybe better stop flashing.

I am very thankful of the assistance given, and I have apologised whenever I have been at fault. But ThaiDai basically called me an idiot (hence the double quotes), and all I am saying is that snide insults are never, ever justified. Or are you saying they are, and I have no right to object?
Sorry for poisoning this thread...
You know what, I've had enough of this argument. More fool me for trying to talk down noob haters when all I wanted was a solution to my problem.
Thank you to Spydertracks for being so patient with me to start with, and sorry for not reading more carefully. Thank you to rangercaptain for the recommendation. If anybody else has anything to add I'd be very grateful.
