Flashing will kill your phone!!

Hi, help please. I been using these new builds and working very well, but now I just get 'The SIM card is missing', I have tried other SIM cards with the same message!.. please help
thanks

Help Help Help, please any ideas, my phone is still stuck on sim card missing!

have you tryed reflashing it with different rom?

Yes, flashed with 3 ROM's and also flashed with RADIO's ROM's, but still the same.

This phone is getting worse, with no phone working I still use it for TOMTOM, but now no sound or patchie sounds, music or phone sounds, I flash it back to WM5 still same and flash it back to WM6 but still no sound. Is there anyway to completey delete the phone so nothing on it then flash it.

Maybe it's because you've got an hardware problem ... so maybe you should see your "service after sale" !!

I would if it was still in contract, so I am thinking about taking the thing apart, and see if anything come loose?. any info would be nice, tried searching but nothing

This phone is very sick, if i put a SIM card in it I get a blank screen when it reboots, or if I take SIM out I may get the blank screen which I have to reset couple of times, took the back off but cannot see any connector off. So I have to pay alot of money to fix it or buy another PDA.

My only question is: What changed?
Is there something that you can think of that caused this to occur?
Have you dropped or bumped the phone? Liquid got to it? Charging when the power died or there was a lightning strike?
Without knowing this, there is very little that can be done.
As for pulling the device apart - I would recommend against this. Complex electronics like these have no user-serviceable parts, the most you can do is to look for physical damage (such as burnt components or broken legs on chips) or water damage. And then, even if you did find the damage, you would be able to do very little with it as the components can be hard to find (for any of the chips) and the soldering is extremely difficult (my father hand solders surface-mount components using special liquid-solder and a microscope).
If you want to repair it, find your nearest HTC (or I-Mate\Dopod\O2\etc) repair centre and give it to them. Keep in mind that you've already voided the warranty by installing a custom ROM (although you can just install the manufacturer's ROM and pretend you never used WM6...).
Hope this helps!

I use it every day with TOMTOM or I-go (lorry driver),so getting knock's vibration-yes. camera stop working and green went green-but after a couple of weeks it when back normal. never failed on flashing or stuck on bootmode. NO SIM started I just reset it then it was ok until next time. Then it went back normal for a couple of weeks, then NO SIM came on and couple more things happen(above posts). And that how it stands. So 12 months gone a passed (18 month contract). So its sent it to O2( big bill I think) or buy a PDA (cheap I hope). Or wait and see for upgrade brings

Update on my EXEC, It starts as followed, O2 screen comes up with it info at bottom right then the next screen is the windows mobile6 screen and then black screen, tryed mtty, also re flashed it....now its dead R.I.P...
I think I flashed it too many times so be warned!!!!
Been looking at other PDA phones, none of them comes near EXEC will apart from AMEO(thats nice but too much), so looks like another EXEC I think, and yes I will be flashing that one as well if I get O2 to part with one.

Hi, all tryed to get a new EXEC from O2, but sady they say they dont do it no more, so upgraded to the ORBIT( or should I say down graded). SO I like to say bye bye and watch that flashing because it will kill your phone.

Phone is dead???

My Orange SPV has died on me - did it yesterday, just went blank and wouldnt turn on, then after battery removal and fiddling it burst back into life and was fine. Today it did the same, but it won't come back - I thought it was a flat battery, but its still the sames with a fresh charged one. When I plug the phone into the charging cradle, the 'phone live' light shows red.
Any suggestions how to fix it ? - the unit is bog-standard, and I havn't done anything to kill it.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks

does any on of you know about the hardware ??????????
it is the problem of hardware not the software
if know hard ware then i told you what to do !!!!
for softely done
my suggestions is keep you spv to charging for hole night and look at morning
what happen????
may it help you

hey i chek hardware it okay i try fill charge bettery also

hi chirag
if know the hardware then heat up the processor with blowergun or hotairgun what ever you call it but put the liquide solder past on it first then in hotairgun the temp on 4 and air on 4 or 5 and blow for 1.5 to 2 min on processor and disk on chip or ram give the hot air to it after that put ipa on it and clean the hole thing put your display and battery and make hard rest or flash fresh rom on it .
i think its work for you
the reson of boot up failure
is because the extrem use of your phone is make the bollgride which is connecting your processor and motherbord Drysolder in it after this action all drysolder is resolder to its place and its start reworking
Thanks

My treo 750 touch screen suddenly doesnt work

bad lucks. suddenly the touch screen doesnt work.
Dont know why. Try to hard reset and and cant use at all
does any1 have got this problem before

Finally works
waks finally it works,
I leave it for a while and do a charging for it.
Cause I though the battery should be in cold condition (winter time in Ozi)
And yeah it works, so if you guys found this problem try above solution and see if it works

noramly it works for 5 -10 min then it geting Fu&#d agein

sadly, this is happening to me as well. What apps have you installed? You're not by any chance using Sprite Backup 6? This problem only started when I installed Sprite Backup...conincidentally, I had a similar problem with my HTC Herald after using same programme, it may reset the backlight to off.

no i dident use sprite backup i had a lot os SPB stuff but i dot think it is any thing to do with it as HARD RESET dose NOT help ;(
what OS do u use Windows Mobile 5 or 6 ?
when it hapened to me i was on WM5 (i had it replaced)
recently i instaled WM6 on my new one it works great !
there was a post about some one having the same problem wich was FIXED by Upgrading to WM6 u shuld try it maybe !
if u will tellme if it workes !
u also cen unlock Ext_ROM and Get rid of ATT junk compleatly and u will get Unbranded ROM (it better if u not on ATT network in mi opinion)

maybe this is just a stupid thought, but do you use screen protectors?
i applied the one which palm has deliverd with it and shortly after that the screen didnt work. any hard- or softreset didnt help.
after removing it everythings works like before

NO i dident use any screen protecters

interestingly, mine just failed the same way as yours just 15 minutes ago. Tried rebooting and eventually hard reset, samething.
I noticed it would work when it prompts "touch screen to begin calibrating". Once the screen is touched, the keyboard backlight lits up, and screen wouldn't respond anymore. If I tap the screen the keyboard backlight would flicker very slightly.
I am running WM6, NO APPS INSTALLED, no screen protector, fresh 2 weeks old phone.
Now I have to figure out how to revert it back to WM5 so I can send it in for replacement.

By the way, if you pull the battery out and let the phone sit for 10 minutes, it will cool down and act normal for few minutes. Enough to do the touch screen calibration thing in case if you are stuck there.

yep...my treo exhibits exactly the same symptoms. It only started after I started using Sprite Backup and Handango Inhand. I have now turfed both and propose doing a hard reset and reinstall but don't hold out too much hope. I reckon it is basically a return to Palm job.

Waks it back to old problem again
Dont know why it doesnt work again
Try to upgrade to wm6 seems doesnt help at all.

This is my third Treo 750.
The other two had all a defect touchscreen.
It's a hardware problem.

Mine also failed within a day of applying a screen protector. I got a new one from the AT&T store (still within my 30 days) and haven't had a problem since.
I don't want to go long w/o a screen protector, though...

Which Radio Rom are you using ?
Try another
wout

I've been using 1.17 but when I use 1.15 the screen also fade to blue or white

Try without sd card
or
try older (reliable) wm5 rom
wout

I already try KAMAL WM5 but still it happens and I also forget to mention that when the screen fade to white or blue my phone suddenly become hot..is there any possibility that the problem is from the hardware?

That doesn't sound good.
could you try another battery ?
and turn wifi of
was wifi on ? when screen went with/blue
wout

Yes, I have try another battery and the wifi is off..
The screen went blue when I was receiving sms or when I want to send sms.
sometime when I left the phone standby for half an hour the phone cannot be turned on and I have to press the reset button and after entering the splash screen the screen went blue/white again so I have to reset several time

i think its something e related to the vibrate? its shorted or somehting and the power is going there but no vibration.. thus causing the overheating and the freezing.. im not sure but maybe.. also have you dropped the machine?

Appears to be a hardware problem. You may try this, it may work:
1. Remove the battery. Keep the battery out at least for a few hours.
2. With the battery out operate a few keys randomly. Also operate the on/off switch a couple of times.
3. Remove your sim card and storage card.
4. Put the battery back.
5.Allow the booting process without intruption.
6. If it works well just switch off, remove battery and insert the sim card and sd card. reboot
Although it sounds a bit wierd it does work in some cases. Worth giving it a try.

thanks Wout,dj_gabzz,d_ranade for the help
I have installed the official WM5 and now it seems ok..
it means that the problem is because of the roms not the hardware..
and once again thanks a lot guys

Orbit to saga.. 1 prob fixed, 1 new prob.. Sim Not recognised.halp?

Hey all, after my last post on fixing the white screen problem, im glad to announce that the replacement did the trick nicely and i have this lil baby up and running again!.
tho in doing this i have run into another problem...
everytime i turn the phone on its telling me that the sim card isnt inserted when it clearly is...
i have had the phone appart 5 times now, have cleaned the contacts, checked for breaks in the ribbon cable and done a number of hard and soft resets..
im really stuck in a dead end as i really want ot get this working again... ;-(
any ideas?

Glad to hear that changing the screen fixed it.
Now you have hit a common problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3980181#post3980181
If that doesnt work then maybe a new sim tray as well will be needed

thanks chris, was a godsend to be able to see what i was doing again lol.
as for the sim card, not sure if this will help anyone else but i solved my problem!!!!!!! ;-)
(i really hope this would work for others)
all i did was forcibly took the battery out without turning it off and left the battery out overnight.
when i put the battery back in and turned it on the next morning it flippin worked!!!!!.
totally random but hell i aint complainin lol
