Hi,
I bought an XDA II from O2 in the UK a couple of years ago. Until recently it has all been working fine, keeping up with my needs. In April I went to Spain for four months, leaving my PC, PDA etc behind. When I got back the XDA was dead, I charged it up. I the first problem was that the backlight wasn't working. I still managed to boot up Windows and configure it all again. Still no backlight. I tried changing all sorts of settings inside the PDA to no end. After rebooting the PDA it gets stuck on the O2 first screen when the device loads. Now the only way to get into Windows is giving it a hard reboot, but that gets me nowhere.
This morning I went to the O2 website and got the latest ROM upgrade. The whole process went smoothly, but no backlight. After rebooting the device after the install it got stuck on the O2 intro screen.
I had tried using the camara after the first charge, that gave a hardware error message.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a Cingular 2125 which I replaced the ROM with the Imate SP5m one which allows for A2DP... I did that about 4 months ago, and everything worked wonderfully for those several months. Then suddenly yesterday, the phone was responding to my input really slowly, so I did a soft reboot as I hadn't restarted it in awhile. When it started back up, it brought me to the bootloader screen (red, green, and blue screen), and I cannot get out of it... rebooted several times, took out the battery, etc... can only get the bootloader screen.
Is there a way to get back to my phone or did this thing just erase itself?
Many thanks!

I finally got out of it. After about 25 or so reboots, it finally decided it wanted to start up normally.
But now, the joystick is screwed up??? Of the five functions, it only responds to three: up, down, and right. Left, and select (kind of important!) don't work anymore.
Has anyone else experienced this as a software/firmware problem, or should I just assume that this is a hardware failure?
Thanks again.

My guess would be hardware failure, although you could try re-flashing it and see what happens.
Thanks. I figured I'd probably have to go that route, but just wanted to see if this happened to anyone else first.
Off I go to re-flash land!
Yep, hardware is f$^&ed. I just re-flashed to the Qtek 8300 AKU2 ROM as I read that it addressed some joystick issues. Re-flash was successful, but no change in the behavior of the joystick.
Oh well, I was looking for an excuse to get a Tytn anyway.
hey i've been following step to step instructions on how to get iphone themes into my brand new wing that i got 3 days ago.. and they all worked perfectly until just today in the morning.. i turned on my phone and the touch screen wouldnt work, i tried everything from turning off, waiting, getting battery out, etc. So i just decided that maybe if i reset the whole thing with that "1234" reset program thing, it would go back to normal.
well, that was a bad choice =x when i started the phone, the "screen aligning" thing popped out and since the screen was still not working.. im stucked. =x any ideas what i should do?
This will install the Original Stock Tmobile Rom, which will take your phone back to the way it was when you took it out of the box

To enter the wing into boot loader, turn the phone off. Turn the phone back on while holding the camera button.
Also, the T-mobile Wing is a variant of the HTC Herald... all support is directed here :

I just got this phone not 2 months ago and out of no where it just died!
I was running the recent Energy ROM on it and have been since it came out. Today it ran just fine as always and just a few minitus ago I went to check it and I could not get the screen to turn on. I pulled the batter out and then went to turn it back on, I would vibrate like it was going to start up and a few seconds it would go black and vibrate again. It did this over and over till I finaly tried a hard reset. I was able to get into the hard reset and it said that it compleated and I hit power up to boot. But then the screen got fuzzy and would not boot, so I pulled the battery again and now I can't get it to start at all! No power, nothing! Even with the power cord pluged in it doesn't do anything, not even light up showing that it's being charged!!
What should I do, or check?
Not knowing particulars I would double check the water intrusion labels and make sure they were both white still. Check your gold battery connectors and make sure those look good. Also check your charger and the USB plug to make sure that it is clean of debris and shiny.
Then I would charge the phone for 4 to 8 hours without attempting any boot ups just to make sure it was fully charged.
I have had 'wonky' issues with the phone being too low of a charge and not booting properly. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I will hook it up to a charge tonight and see if that does anything, but it was atleast at 60% eairlyer and as far as I know should be no reason that it should have discarged that quiclky. Also all the markers look just as they did out of the box. Thanks for the advice!
Your ROM might have gotten corrupted. Try a reflash by booting in bootloader mode.
How? It won't turn on?

Try pulling out the battery (and no USB plugged in) then hold the volume down or up button (I don't remeber which) and hit the power button just once while holding the volume button and if you get to boot loader mode you can go from there. Otherwise I'm afraid you are out of luck.
So with no battery I can get to boot loader mode?
Anyways, in or out, nothing. How does my phone just brick itself? I didn't do anything to it!?
If you could do a hard reset, then you can get into bootloader. Just press and hold volume down and then soft reset. If you have to do, a hard reset first, then go into bootloader when the screen says to press volume up to boot up. Once in bootloader, either flash a rom of your sd card if you know how to or off the usb connection.
What radio do you have, and did you change radios recently? I'd recommend using what nrg says (1.14.25.05) with his rom.
I was able to do a hard reset and now nothing is happening. I cant get it to power up, can't get into boot loader, nothing. It is acting like it is bricked... but I haven't added new software, no new ROM... I just don't understand.
Just pull the battery and let it sit overnight. I've read that that can help.
Oh, yeah, what radio are you using? I ask because there was another poster with a similar problem on that rom. He was using a 1.12.xx.xx radio (I think .25.19), and it appeared to have issues with the included rilphone (1.14.25.05). If you haven't flashed a radio and are using a stock fuze radio, this could well be your problem.
Humm the radio was the most recnet one by HTC. The on that the Energy ROM flashes with stock (not the one he suggests, I never got to flashing that one onto the phone) I'll let it sit tongith and report back in the morning/afternoon.

Same thing happened to me few minutes ago. Thats ****ing weird. Hope I still get this working or I have most expensive piece of junk in my hand.
I also have newest Energy ROM and stock Radio. I had just wrote sms few minutes before, heard that got new sms and tried to turn on screen, but it just stays black.
edit. By using Pocket Controller-PRO I can see that phone is working "normally". Even touch screen is working, but screen is just blank. Keyboard is also dead. Have to take this to repair

Well, flash it back to stock and then have it repaired or replaced. You don't need the screen working on the phone to flash it.
To post an update, I pulled the battery and left it all night like that with no resolve. Right now I have my buddy (the one I bought the phone from) on the phone with cingular to see if there is anyway we can get them to replace the phone since it is only 2 months old or so.
Ok! Get an iPhone now

HAHAHAHA Ya that is somthing that isn't going to happen.
so two people having this problem .. one of them didnt update (downgrade) their radio to the one recommended.
I have a new fuze, just installed Energy Rom.. and went to check my phone version. It was 1.14.25.35 ... NOT the one that was recommended. So I downgraded the phone to 1.14.25.05 immediately
I would be interested to know if the other person was also running 1.14.25.35 and didnt bother to downgrade as recommended.
Other than that ... tons of people are using this ROM and afaik you are the only two to get a black screen like that. Both of you were able to communicate iwth the phone through a remote program? Or only one?

I run any radio I like on my phone and I never got this issue. Sounds like a hardware issue and it just happened to match that the two persons flashed the same ROM without changing the radio to the recommended one because, frankly, I just flash any I want and I haven't gotten that problem yet (mind you I flash sometimes 5 times a day.)

You're probably fine with that radio; you can always install the rilphone.dll for it.
This is the thread I was thinking of. Now that I re-read it, the OP didn't specify the rom, but since everyone is on NRG rom, I guess I just assumed that was what it was. Either way, the 1.12 radio seemed to not get along with the cooked in 1.14 rilphone. Or, it could've just been bad luck on the radio flash.
ok here it goes, i flashed hspl to my hd2 a little while ago, then tried flashing a dutty rom, i guess it was incompatiable, because it wouldnt even charge through usb cable, wouldnt turn on, no lights were working the phone was dead. so i called in to get a replacement. I got my replacement a couple of days later. basically what im trying to ask is, can anyone confirm a service fee for a hacked phone if tmobile cant start it? Like did anyone have this same problem send this phone back and get a extra 250 for thier replaced hd2?
