My Tornado was Down :(

There is no bootloader when I press power or camera button... There is only White scereen. What can I do?

please indicate what happened exactly before that white screen so we can help you better.
did you try putting it into bootloader mode? long camera then insert usb cable and wait til red, blue, green screen appears.

White screen, damn, high chance that you screwed your bootloader, what did you do?
Don't tell me you flashed Typhoon ROM into Tornado ?

I'm sorry I did it... Now what can I do? Actually I Formated BinFS partition then only three color screen not any thing. Then I tried load C500 image on Sd card because I can't anything on tree color mode. I think when I load c500 image I can introduce my computer and I can load wm6... (My Wm5 rom locked )

If you are on 3 colour mode, it means you ARE on bootloader, you can easily load an official ROM back.
Well, it is very hard, almost impossible to revive your phone, ill try to find around to see if your phone can be saved

OK, just did some research, you need to use JTAG flash, google for it, it seems very very complicated and I don't really understand
and this is what Phil posted at modaco
1) You'll need to MAKE a JTAG adapter for your PC serial port (and get all the wires in the right places etc)
2) You need to know where the JTAG points are on your mainboard are and in what order to solder the wires from your adapter onto your mainboard
3) You need a version of JTAG which support the ARM926 core
4) You need a valid bootlaoder image
seems like you really got a paper weight now

Well, can I do anything without Jtag Adapter?

Most likely you can't do anything other than JTAG to save your phone. Why did you flash wrong ROM on your phone anyway?

I suggest that you send it back to service centre, you might screw it up if you use JTAG, you need to solder some wires

tsk, tsk.. another paperweight.. the question is....
WHY???

C500, typhoon ROM?
We MUST make a sticky, DO NOT FLASH TYPHOON INTO TORNADO !!!!
You are the 5-6 person who loaded Typhoon into Tornado, why?! Does Typhoon looks like Tornado ?

I Don't know I think, when I flash typhoon rom to my tornado I can connct to pc... Because I formatted Binfs my computer can not connect my tornado... And there is no any services in Turkey... Becase HTC is new here...

Then send it the phone to me and then send me the repair cost if you want me to do it for you, there is a HTC centre in Malaysia

If I send it to Malaysia it will very expensive. I can buy a new Sp5 by shiiping and repair cost... Thanks for your offer karhoe...

Just curious, how much would it cost?

I bought it 345$... If I send it to you how much I pay for repair cost?

If I send it to malaysia I must pay 135$ for just shipping

Not worth it, then you might as well sell it off as broken spare part

Is my Qtek 9100 DEAD?!?!?!

M8s, can any1 help me?!?!?! While i am doing something on my phone, on display shows some strange lines, and display start to become white... It sometimes gone crazy with this, and sometimes, it works ok!!! I have WM5... anyone know what could be a problem...? And how to fix it?
Thx in advice!

dont worry ur phone is not dead maybe the wires that connects the lcd with the motherboard are not so good

So, what you think what i can do...? It usually gone wild while i am doing something big... For example: deletting big amounts of files in same time... I am not touching it while it deleting them and lines again apears... And phone is relatively new... 3 months old!

i've the same problem. i asked a lot of questions about this problem in other forums but no one helped me. Because they didn't know anything.
i changed a lot of WM6 roms but the problem is still going on. i opened my wizard and i connect the parts in my hand. It worked and the scrren didn't freeze. Then i put the parts in the case, the freezing came back. i remove the main part in the case and connect it outside the case, it didn't freeze. So i think the problem is in the wire thet connects the lcd to motherboard. I think i'm gonna change my lcd.
If anyone knows something or "Orbiter87" if you find a solution for this problem, please write here. Thanks...
(sorry about my english, it's not good enough)

Hey guys,
Your problems have nothing to do with ROMs, these sound like hardware issues with the wizard itself. Orbiter, if your wiz is less than 3 months, I'd hound the warranty. If you don't have warranty, you may have to do some home repair. I'd love to help you, but can't...I'd probably throw out my wiz before I attempt to do anything with its hardware.

And one more thing... When i am playing some games or turn on some programs, it works normal... So i think that it is something with ROM!

it's nothing about ROM

i have the same problem on my 9100 try to move the display a litle bit when the stripes appear

i said the problem was in the lcd wire but now i don't think.because i opened the case and took the mothermoard out of the case i turned it on. it work and touched-pressed everywhere on the board, lcd wire but it didn't freeze. Again i put motherboard in to the case, it' freezing started. i think i'm gonna buy a new one and throw away this one. otherwise i'm gonna be crazy...

had the same problem a long time ago.
in my case it was the batterytodayplugin/program called "batti" in combination with overclocking.
so what programs are installed on your wizard
steph

I erased lots of stuff! Now i have only:
Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic
Loving Wife Unlock Ext Rom Wizard
C. Ghisler & Co. Total Commander

The screen going white usually happens when the Flexi Strip connecting the Lcd to the motherboard is either not properly fitted or is damaged,white screen is very rarely the fault of the LCD.If the wizard is in warrenty then send it back otherwise if you are willing to do it yourself then download the k-jam service manual and give it a go.

I think you mean "the wire that comes from lcd to the motherboard" as flexi strip. If so, i did a lot of thing with that wire but it didn't change. Like i said, when i took off the motherboard from the case, i pressed every point on the board but it didn't go to the white. But when i put it into the case and press or do something to the board it goes white. There is a problem with case but how can the case do something to the lcd' image...
(While doing this things, the wizard was open)

i-mate JasJar - vibrate mode not working

For some reason, my i-mate JasJar refuses to work in vibrator mode. I rarely use it, and am not sure when it stopped working.
A couple of days back I put it in vibrator mode and later noticed that there were quite a few missed calls/messages.
Any ideas on this anyone.

I assume you have tried to test whether it is a specific problem by going to "notifications" under "settings" and chosen "vibrate", then pressed the play icon and it didn't work.
In this case I'd make a backup and look what happens after a hard reset. If it never worked for you with this rom, flash an original one.
If the problem still is there by now, it most certainly is a hardwareerror. So open the unit and remove the vibrator. Be careful with its plug and use a tool or your fingernails as a tool, if they're long enough.
If you haven't a tweezer and short fingernails, ask your GF to do it or try if can come on to girls with asking them to help you with this
Anyway, once out measure the resistance of the vibrator. It should be within a reasonable range, meaning not about zero and not above some, hmm, perhabs dozens, Ohms.
I don't know if this thing gets connected to full battery voltage, but testing it with something about 3V should not harm it, if you don't have something to measure resistance. If it doesn't move, meaning vibrate, you have the reason why it doesn't work.
If you want to be sure you now measure whether it gets juice or not if your phone should vibrate. I don't know what the chances are, but it is possible that the circuit that enables it got damaged.
If the vibrator seems to be fine you should do this anyway.
What's up if the vibrator's working and full battery voltage is on it's connectors when the phone should try vibrate I do not know. But the chances of the problem being easy to fix are then gone to about zero

In this case I'd make a backup and look what happens after a hard reset. If it never worked for you with this rom, flash an original one. - Did this, without any luck.
If the problem still is there by now, it most certainly is a hardwareerror. So open the unit and remove the vibrator. Be careful with its plug and use a tool or your fingernails as a tool, if they're long enough. - It sounds easy enough - but could you help me here? - open the unit - i have never gone beyond replacing batteries so how do i know what to look for?
Thanks in advance

Well, there isn't a button to press that will just open the case for you, but if you're not cursed to have more thumbs than fingers you should be able to do it.
You just need the proper torx screw driver and something to unlock the plastic hooks that keep the phone closed after the screws are gone. I used a cut out part of the blister package from my SDHC card, a good friend of mine always uses old credit and membership cards. Just be sure to use something made out of soft material that won't bend too easily when lateral force is put on it. If you use something made out of metal you will most certainly leave scratches.
If you don't really know what I'm talking about, go to the Wiki page, found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
There is a section "Hacks and Tweaks", in which is a link to the service manual. Get that and read through the pictured manual to disassemble te device. Now take a look at your phone and the narrow gap between the parts of the housing and you will know why I brabbled so much about that. And also the size of the torx screw driver you'll need.
In service manual everything is described step by step, with lots of photos. You have to know for yourself if you're gonna do that or leave it to someone else. It looks more horrifying than it actually is, the quality of the housing material is good and what you wanna do is relativly easy but if something should happen you are hereby told that nobody else can be held responsible.
Since I don't know you, I can't really recommend you to do or leave it, but it's really not a big deal and the bucks some guy at a shop will charge you for less than five minutes of easy work are better off to be donated to your favorite rom cook

don't vibrate
I had this problem when I opened my 64 mb uni and I managed to make it work again.It took many tries to get it work again.I think the way you put it in his "socket" let it vibrate or not...
Now it's the same problem with my 128 Mb uni which came back from retronix (upgrading ram) with vibrator "HS".I opened it and didn't manage to make it work again, i'll try later but i'm sure it's not faulty, just the way they put it back.
EvilJogga is right, service manual is usefull, I was afraid to open my uni's, now i do it with "eyes closed".
Sorry for my bad english, good luck !

I had the same problem with Radio ROMs 1.17 and 1.18 - changing it back to 1.15 returned the vibration.

Try to charge battarey with external charger (not in phone). Or with orriginal charger, connect it and leave at 6-12 hours.
And when you try to turn on phone ith it have red blinking for a second?
May be that you reflash incorrect botloader (IPL & SPL). I know method how to repair it, but ferst of all check that your battarey ith full charge...

yes exactly, when i have the baterry in the device and i want to turn it on, i flashes verry weak for a moment..
and when i remove the battery and put it into my original charger, it flashes strong for a second when i put the connector in.
so i am correct, that means my battery is empty and i have to find a way to charge it external..
i already have an offer for an another phone, do you think i can repair this one?
and which method do i have to use?
thanks in advance
edit:
with some wires and an another adapter i figered a way out to charge the baterry external..
it would be great if you could help me.

Chek the voltage of baterry ( it must be near 3.7-4.3 v). The easy external charge you can make taking the charger with same V & Am parameters, choping connector and take the choped wires to baterry in right dirrection "+" to "+" & "-" to "-", but this is dangerous way soo if you dont uderstand how to doo this, dont doo it.
But it seems, as when you try to connect orriginal charger there are only blincking for a second and nothing else, that you destroy the bootloader on your phone...
And is this blincking red or orange flash ?

no i realy know what i am doing and i let it charge for a couple of hours but there is no result..
it still doesn't do anything and i know the battery is full now.
when i want to turn it on, it flashes red, so if the bootloader is destroyed that means that he not can be repaired is it?
well.. i already thougd that it was over but now i now it for sure..
thanks for youre help

I can repair it ( I repaired many devices with same problem), but i am from ukraine, soo i dont know is it possible to send it to me for repeairing, or i can buy it from you for experements in repairing...

i live in holland so that is a bit to far for driving indeed
well, ofcourse i can sent it to you but what does that costs? transport, repairing etc..
or you may buy mines for experimenting and than i buy an another one..
how much would you give for my 8300?
is repairing so difficult that i cant do it my own? or do i need special tools or something?

I dont know about shipping cost from you country(you must find out on your post services), for repairing i ask near 20 EUR. And ofcourse shipping by your costs in both sides.
If you want to sell it for me i can give you near 30-35 EUR (it is dependent from accesories and outward appearance).And I pay shipping costs.
Yes for repairing you need special tools (special cable etc.) and wide experience...

oke then i want to sell it to you that makes it a lot easyer, because special tools and experience is not really what i got
i am going to buy a 8310 so i want to keep some accesiores like car holder and stuff.. i can offer you the phone and battery and charger..
so that will be 35 + shipping costs? i will look that up, i dont think that is verry much..
i will sent you a message with my bank acount number and then i would like to know youre adress so i can sent it to you..

Hi,
Now I have the same problem.

I had WM6.1 and I run Patched_RUU and was 100% -> "Once you are done, your phone will reboot, then turn it off."
My phone doesn't want restart (all the time black screen) .
Now doesn't work bootloader and the phone doesn't want turn on.
What can I do to get it to work?
Please help

This guide right for your phone( i meen the procedure). But if you took the ROM from this guide, you kill bootloader in your phone, becouse (maybe) it including the IPL & SPL for TYPHOON. Wright mee to PM...
And give mee a link dirrectly to the ROM that you flashing...

[Q] Stylus wakeup and warranty question

I have my tp for les than 4 months. I realized that the super option of automatic wake up device after removing stylus doesn't work. I hardly remeber if this worked before i realised that problem. I know that there is a thread about making this stuff working again but that does't sole my problem. I can't repair it and I'm thinking of sending it to orange to repair that. And one more thing in my tp the funkcion button semm to be badly situated in the hone. Explenation. When the backlight turns on under my buttons the light is sparkling through the botoom off my tp. My brother tp doesn't have that problem.
the explanation i showed in the picture because problem is hard to describe.
The question is can this pb be solved under warranty??
sorry for bad english.

for the warranty it should cover it, i dont seem the reason why not, as long as u have the receipt youre fine cuz thats a tad strange, it seemed like u have a bad one

Ok so I decided
Ok so I decided to send it back to orange. The problem is how to describe the problem of the stylo and the buttons highlight? I have to describe it in some way so that those guys working in orange knew what to repair... Any advice how to write the explanation of the problem?
