Hey there..
I installed a custom rom using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27049363&postcount=2
I then lost my imei and couldn't make/receive calls. So I spent like 12 hours wallowing in sorrow and pondering.. I then used ODIN to flash param bin and successfully got my imei back ! Woot!
But now, there is a box on my screen, screenshot.
And I can't lock my screen. I changed the settings to pattern lock and lock instantly with power key, and the screen blanks out, but when I press the power key again, it just goes back to the last thing on the page, no lock screen. And, if I hold the power key, it doesn't pop up with the menu to 'restart' or 'turn off mobile networks', it just turns the phone off..
Please help ! Thank you.

No need to worry ! I figured it out, I just opened /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode with FX file manager with root add on from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ..

I opened the /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode and pressed edit and changed it from OFF to ON then manually restarted. Self dependence for the win !

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
I bought acer dx900 2 weeks back. Bcos of weak battery and slow response to touch screen, I changed to cooked rom from Bruno. It made the phone faster, and is working so for last 7-8 days.
2 days back I added pocketshield; it worked well and gave me no problem. (atleast till it stopped waking up - problem mentioned below).
Today the phone was working fine till I found that it was not waking up to power on switch. I tried soft reset and still it doesnot start the phone .... Just blank screen. I have tried everything I could, no luck ... The phone doesn't start .... Charged the phone again, tried hard reset etc etc ...
Please suggest what should I do to get the phone started!
Hard Reset
Method 1: if the touch screen is functional, tap "Start" - "Programs" - "Utilities" - "Default Settings".
Method 2: press and hold "POWER BUTTON" end "RESET" button for a while,
then release them simultaneously. Wait for a few seconds until the screen wakes up displaying
the model name, firmware version and firmware build date of your device, instantly press and
hold the left side button under the volume slide. Continue pressing such button and release it
when you see an inquiry box shown on the screen "Erase all your data and load default?" "Yes
[press camera button]". So, press the camera button for "Hard Reset", "No" for "Soft Reset".
Good look!
I've experienced this problem too. I'd done what is instructed here again and over again but the screen kept going its black status with some time and something bluring, vibrating on it (I could not read through its darkness)... In short, I cannot make it alive again. Hopless and it seems also helpless. Is there anyone help me? (an email of instruction to [email protected] would be greatly appreciated). Thanks.
Hi guys when I first setup my phone it asked me if I wanted to password protect it and I clicked yes. Now every 3 minutes the phone locks and asks me for my password, this is a good security feature, but its getting annoying. I cant find out where I can change the settings so it locks up every 10 minutes..Please help.
Also...
The button on the top left of the screen that turns the screen on and off, my finger always hits this button when I am typing and it turns off the screen and when I press the button to turn the screen back on it takes me the home screen without saving what I was typing (i.e. a sms or something else)...is there anyways around this?
Thanks a bunch

Hey, to take care of your password issue, go to Start > Settings > Lock and in there you will see the settings on how long your phone will wait to lock again after inactivity (after you type your password). You can also use this area to chang your password. Hope this helps.
As far as your issue with the power button, I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions.
I've recently installed S2U2,but I didn't like it and I unistalled it a few days ago.Since then,i cant lock my screen,when I press the power button(to screen lock Mega),the screen goes black but when I press again(to unlock it) the slider(and the massage"Slide to unlock" does not appear,instead the phone it's already unlocked.

Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks
