I dropped it but it still turns on. It gets to the Welcome to t-Moble screen or what ever splash screen from the rom I have loaded and stay there forever. I have tried a few SD card rom changes but no success. I asume since this happend after a fall it is a hardware issue. Is there anything that can be done?
Mike :shock:
Don't everyone respond at once? :?:
I cannot see that dropping it would wipe the flash memory however you could try hooking it up to usb and attempting a rom flash via that method, if there is no obvious sign of damage it should be returned to supplier for repair.
Thanks for the response
It won't even let me sync. Won't even connect. I dont think it is getting far enough to start those programs. The boot loader works fine and the diagnostic checks from the boot loader all say they are ok. It has indeed been through a lot and has quit a few obvious marks on it. Like I said before, it takes a boot load ROM up grade from an SD card but when I reset the device it just stops at the "splash" screen that says welcome to Tmobile. Cant get it to go any further
I'm havin a similar problem. I dropped my xda, and it 's stuck now in the bootloader. I can't even boot normal. I tried flashing it with another rom through an SD card, but he's still stuck in the bootloader menu.
Doing a hardware replacement will kost met 400 euro, so i'm not going to do that. If anyone has risky solutions, just pm me ... it's wasted anywayz
grtz
PLEASE HELP SOMEONE
Where can I send thid to get it fixed???
If there is a solution please post

Why did you drop it? try un dropping it.
Solution
Pick it back up.
Oh and... quit dropping that ****.
Either that or pay the $3 a month for insurance and just get a new one.
** I've fallen! And I can't get up! **
Sometimes the power button gets jammed down after a drop, worth checking the buttons for this. When you go to bootloader does gsm say ok? If the xda has intact bootloader and gsm I think there is still hope.

When I turn on my XDA 1 it doesn't seem to boot up, it just stays on the initial "02" scree. I can access Boot loader and run diagnostics which appear be ok, please help !
maybe a program is set to start up which cause it to freeze
if you wish you could try to hardreset it this should remove any
program which are trying to startup and fails
of cause this will cause all your data to be deleted
Hello Steve,
If you still check out xda-dev let me know if you ever solved this problem. I have an identical problem now and I have tried everything from soft reset thru hard reset to upgrading ROM via SD card.
Nothing's worked so far so if you did find a solution I'd be real grateful if you let me know what it is.
Thanks,

Oh my oh my...
I used my XDA normally early this morning, I talked to someone, and received some SMSs. Later at around 10.30AM I received another SMS (it did the sound and shown 1 new text message) and when I was going to read it it was freezed... I couldn't do anything. The backlight was off and it didn't come on when I tapped on the screen, so I did a soft reset and the backlight turned on, the version was shown in the screen but it didn't boot, I did then a hard reset (lamenting the loose of all the messages and stuff) and it booted. About an hour later I decided to make a call... It was frozen again. Soft-reset didn't make it boot. I can access the bootloader and the RAM tests and everything shows up as good, except for the screen test. It shows a cross like the one on WM2003 used to align the screen. It works on on both crosses that are down. The ones on top don't click and to make them disappear I have to tap in the middle of the screen and then it says failed. I did this test in the first hard reset and it didn't work but when WM2003 started I was able to align the screen like I always did and it worked perfectly as always.
I made it boot once again but it was slow and delayed... now it just freezes in the Windows mobile screen even after many hard resets.
I believe I'm in deep sh*t now
Let me know if there's anything I can try or if you solved it aicon...
I was expecting to do a rom upgrade via SD when I get home but you said you tried that so I'm out of hope
Thanks for any help!!

P.S.: My ROM is 6.24/4.01.12.....
HEYYYYYYYY!!! I turned it off with the hard reset pin and now I turned it on to check the version numbers to post them here and it booted... It is not slow... I even started the StuntCar Extreme 3D game and it works fine!!!! (It is on the storage card and it runs without installing)
I even received an SMS that I believe was on the network waiting for my phone to come on to send it... I did read it well...
Hope it stays like that and it was just trying to scare me... I have 40% battery and this morning I just took it out of the charger at 100%. Very strange because the battery lasts at least two days with normal use...
Will post again if something happens... wish me luck
Hello Steve,
I've actually moved on to the XDA 2 now. Been using it for quite a while as I never did get the XDA 1 working right...
Since you haven't posted again I hope yours is behaving itself now...
Oh Yes, don't ask me why, but it is working... I still don't understand what happened...
XDA2's are way expensive than XDA1's... will have to wait a little to get one of those
Marton
I recently had a problem with my XDA 1. It started running VERY VERY slowly (kind of like a computer that was infected with 10000 spyware programs). The battery was constantly showing that it was going to shutdown but yet seemed to still operate.
I tried doing a backup to SD Card while it was on the cradle, yet after about 4 minutes of usage it would automatically soft reset - interrupting the backup.
So i thought stuff it, i don't care about the data i will just do a hard reset. Now, after doing the hard reset i can't even get it to turn on. The O2 Screen comes up and the light flashes on and off every few seconds. It does this for about 45 seconds then switches off again.
Does it sound like the mainboard is gone? Could it just be the battery? Are there any home repairs ideas? I do have a second xda i can pull apart if i must to test what is wrong with this one.
Thanks.

boot problem
if a desktop pc were to exhibit these sort of problems then i would definitely suspect a motherboard problem. if you are still under warranty then straight back to the store is the place for you. if not then scour the forums for solutions fixes or suggestions, there are some very experienced people on here - not me -
ian
since it's still under warrenty I strongly advice to replace it or at least to get it repaired by the center ... but if you tend to feel it's a challenge for you to fix it your self, then you may do the following to eleminate the possibility of S/W problem ...
1. Flash the ROM with a new OS image. This should solve any ROM problem.
2. Make sure you didn't turn on the "Calib/Debug" option in the GSM menu of the boot loader.
BTW, was the radio part OK while having this problem ?
actually its not under warranty, i bought it off a friend when he upgraded to his XDA II. Im not sure what the radio version was, i jsut put any details in there because i couldnt boot to find out what it was at.
Can you flash the rom without having to boot it up? Are there the instructions on how to do it on this site?
Thanks.
help me, my xda wont display anything on it's screen even the wallaby wont appear though it's power is on.What might be the cause of the problem?
thanks in advance...
what happened with it? did you drop it? installed an app, went swimming, etc? have you done a hard reset already?
sunny side up...
fried xda
I just upgraded it to from xda special rom 1.2 to ppc2003, then the upgrade didn't complete because of some conflict on the process so I did a hard reset and presto the bootloader keep on appearing and doesn't boot on the OS, then after that I made a soft reset, after that the even the wallaby didn't appear anymore...is it already dead?or can I still reprogram the wallaby?plss helllp.
a million thanks....
cant you make it enter the bootloader ?
fried xda
I can't enter the bootloader
you may need to do a couple of hard resets. i don't think your unit is fried; just got stuck while going through the upgrade. a lot of chaps had to do a bunch of hard resets until the unit brings itself back to bootloader...this was for both xda1 and 2 i believe...just keep on hard reseting the unit. it should go back to bootloader eventually.
once that's done cradle back the unit and rerun the upgrade. oh btw; when you recradle don't expect activesync to show any indication that it's working or recognizes your device. just cradle it back and click on your upgrade file. with luck it should go through.
good luck
tnx a lot, but how can I know if my unit is already fried?
a zillion tnx
as long as the unit shows some signs of life it's still ok. when i upgraded to 2003se my unit got stuck w/the screen saying serial 1.something. only after like 2 hard resets did it go back to bootloader. in your case it should still be fine. if all else fails...well maybe it IS fried and it's an excuse to upgrade the unit itself

I forgot to tell that my son accidentally removed the Memory card while I'm flashing, would that fried the unit?
After i upgraded to this radio i have had interesting problems with my phone. ithought it was bricked and it very well could be. But sometimes it decides it wants to work but after a minute or two it cuts off. when a softreset or hard reset are perfromed i get nothing but a white screen. I can tell it goes thru the whole process bekuzz usually after putting it to sleep a few times i get my regular screen but the radio doesnt seem to be connected. any help would be appreciated. also the buttons on the face of the phone dont seem to work.Thanx
What is "Regular Screen"?
Regular screen means the screen u would normally get after your boot and splash screen. Or better said my today screen. Sometimes i cant get my today screen up. i had BL 1.04 before the upgrade if that matters any
Today screen is very good! your device isn't fully bricked. It may be a bad radio flash or it may be a hardware issue that merely coincided with your radio upgrade. Next time you get a today screen, try to flash one of the other sspl based radio only updates (find in wiki under radio only upgrades). Remember to practice safe flashing techniques!
usb on rear usb port. No usb hubs!
all winapps closed
running winXP Pro
activesync connected
screensaver/sleep mode off (flashing takes 20+ minutes)
i have flashed the 1.27 radio again without having my today screen and that did nothing. It went thru the whole process of flashing and everything but same results, just a white screen when booting up and afterwards. im downloading the 1.34 radio now.
You need to flash the sspl version which requires first being on the Today Screen (not white screen). Tri-color boot screen will show v1.09-Des if you do this.
i guess i will have to wait to see if i get another today screen and hope that it doesnt reset itself
does it matter that i can put my phone to sleep and wake it up over and over, i just keep getting the white screen. bekuzz now i cant seem to get my today screen back anymore
ok i have done what u said and flashed the 1.34 radio and still have the same problem. after the flash i had my today screen for a minute then it reset itself and now is gone and back to the white screen. also when i was on the today screen i didnt have control of the buttons only touch screen.
i think i may have a different problem. it doesnt seem to be resetting itself everytime it goes blank but that the screen is dying on me. hmmmmmm....... this is quite strange. i can also recieve calls. i cant answer them but the handset rings.
This may be silly but if I were in your place I'd just reflash everything with an official rom that replaces everything (i.e. SA 1.35) and see if that fixes the problem (though i might wait until somebody who knows more then me verifies this is a good thing to try). I'm wondering if the bad flash somehow effected something in your OS or something.
When I mess something up like this, I like to get back to a place which has been known to work - then I have a better idea of where I am (ie brick or bad flash)
Hope this helps
yea i actually went back to the original cingular ROM that came with the phone. so we shall see what happens from here. i also will have Cingular send me a new phone, i was tired of the scratches anyway. So far they havent noticed that my phones are supercid yet. Keeping my fingers crossed
Hardware problem IMHO...
Sleuth u are right. No matter what i do to the phone it yields the same result. My screen still turns off and the buttons dont work. iwonder what couldve caused this. i didnt drop it. well not recently anyway. BTW.... is there anyway to get the original 1.16 radio back on there. i tried doing it but it just hangs at 0%.
Thanks Sleuth for all your help, you are definetly one of the reasons this forum is helpful. That and that good ole WIKI.
like its said in the title, my titan resetet itself twice! without any obvious reason.
the first time the titan didnt react to anything so i removed the battery, when i startet it again -> get started stuff
the second time i just turn the titan off when i restarted -> get started
its pretty anoying and i wanted to know if anybody has the same problem or knows an answer
thx
Memory full ?
What your device memory nearly full or about 8GB full ? Some devices have a bug when this happens. The last deployed firmware resolved the issue for me.
mhm im not sure how much was full but it could be...
i will do the update and see if it solves the problem
thx for the tipp
edit: great ive wanted to update my phone but during the process it fails. at the point when the phone is restarting my pc doesnt recognice it anymore...
zune is waiting for the phone to restart and the phone shows this "connect phone to pc" screen but nothing happens...
You can try to update your firmware with the lastest version with a recovery tool here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334468
It worked for me but you'll loose all your data.
ok thx i will wait a few days and look for driver updates mabay this will fix it and i can update the normal way but thx
My phone keeps shutting off and I barely have anything on it. Pretty annoying, thought it was a defective phone, not sure after reading this.
edit: after doing a factory reset my phone is still shutting off. Going to get a new replacement today.
I read on another thread that cleaning SIM card and reseating it solves that. Hope this is not too late to help others.
Any similarities to this?

I just had my first reboot for my Titan. Incoming call but no sound. Hung up, and the phone immediately rebooted. First and only time it did that. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.
FYI: I have about 4GB free on my phone. No other issues.
i think some of you getting it wrong. my titan doesnt reboot it reset itself like a hard reset, everything is gone and i have to go trough the whole settup again...
this happened twice altough it havent happened in the last days i want to update my phone but its impossible for me right now because when my phone restarts during the update process zune doesnt recognise it anymore.
ive already deletet and reinstallt the driver and i ran the official microsoft fix without any sucess

Mine did this twice this week. I think is something with network connection.
Everytime I took it from pocket or car, turned it on and call in seconds.
Sometimes I got restarts while using the bluetooth connected to my car.
Something it not good with HTC radio.

HTC Titan resetting itself out of nowhere..??
My Titan reset itself for the 1st time yesterday.. it froze first so i couldn't power it down I had to take the battery out, only thing is I have all my stuff (music, pictures, text messages..) u get the point. So after that happened and i pulled the battery out and put it back in and powered it up some of my apps were uninstalled and when i went over a screen to my apps i noticed something that said "applications install" or something like that, i had never seen it before. I uninstalled the mysterious app or watever it was and now when i try to open my people block on the start screen to find contacts it wont work.. wont open at all!!! this is the 2nd titan ive had and im totally confused as to what going on. I did unlock it with an unlock code. I dunno if that has anything to do with it.. Can anyone shed any light or should i just count my losses and trash it! it also deleted my email accounts in settings when i powered it off then on again.. I dunno if its a bug or wat, but im pissed tf off!! hellppppp!
