Alright, so here is what's going on. I've flashed my phone a few times now and it's always been successful. I've also installed PointUI in the past on my Touch Pro, along with a few other apps most of which don't do anything significant(S2U2, advanced config, etc.).
Now the problem is, my hard key buttons will simply NOT respond. Only the power key, volume keys, and keyboard keys work. None of the front ones do. My other problem is that when I try to flash a new ROM now, it doesn't take. I've re-flashed my phone to the Sprint stock ROM and have since tried putting NRG's ROM onto it but whenever I flash his ROM and start my phone, it restarts on the HTC loading page(Before the red text shows up).
I've tried doing a hard reset, I've tried flashing back to the original ROM, I've tried all I can think of. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The Problem Is...
Every time i restart my phone via any type of reset....
(soft reset, hard reset, battery out of the phone, powerbutton turn off, a programs phone restart)
... the phone turns straight to the bootloader screen. It does not do the normal viberate and restart.
To get the phone to restart I have to go through a long process of removing the battery, plugging it into the charger, pressing all the buttons with a million resets.
Then eventually it will start up like normal.
Titan_exitbl.exe does not do anything... It sends the code and goes straight back to bootloader screen with any of the bootloaders stock or olipro customs
What I Have Tried:
installing and reinstalling the 3.39, 3.35, 1.30 stock radio
installing and reinstalling correct combinations of roms for the above radios. (including stock)
installing all bootloaders (including relocking)
each with their corresponding roms and radios
What I Think
Because of not being able to hard reset something is wrong there.
i'm open to suggestions
Where exactly are you right now?
What bootloader, ROM, and radio do you have installed? Are you able to boot into Windows Mobile?
right now completely stock i'm in windows mobile
i have now done a hard reset via settings->system-> clear storage
EDIT more exactly
verizon rom 2.09
radio 1.30.60
bootloader 1.06
Ok...do you have a microsd card to flash with?
not right now however,
let me know what you're thinking i might go grab one.!
I've got the same thing happening to me... I was running the test "sprint" radio on my alltel 6800 along with no2chem's latest rom... it started happening, so I decided to install the newest stock alltel rom... didn't fix it at all. What sucks now is I can't even get activesync working witht eh alltel rom now...
Also, I can get it to boot if I do one thing. If I connect up a usb cord (to a computer, or my usb headphone adapter) and hit soft reset, it'll boot fine.
However, soon as I hit that soft reset button on the bottom again, back to bootloader it goes.
This happened to me once before a long time ago, I fixed it by relocking the device and installing a stock Alltel rom... however I've read that's a bad idea with the newer GPS enabled roms and can kill the phone.
any ideas?
Just a quick update... after messing around I had an idea... I connected the USB headphones so I could actually do a soft reset that works... But this time, instead I held down the power/cam when I did it so it would load the boot loader... my thinking was that it might trick it into not loading it. Sure enough, it worked. Now when I hit soft reset, it does just that. No more boot loader unless I hold down those buttons.
Very strange... like the phone got tricked into thinking the buttons were always pressed down on restart.
Anyways, hopefully this will help others that might come across this issue.
spoke too soon... now its is doing it again after flashing the sprint rom back on and then no2chem's latest.
argh...
I have a Sprint HTC touch pro. I unlocked it the day I got it, and have flashed mightyrom6, juicy, and a couple others to it without problem. What I'm seeing now is the ROMs are going very slow, freezing when I just try to read a text message, etc. I have a feeling that some things from the ROMs aren't completely getting wiped when I flash the new ROM. Someone suggested flashing the stock OS to the phone to clear this garbage. Is this a good idea? Does anyone else have this problem, or a solution to it? Thanks
It's definitely worth a try, it worked for me.
I had been trying out all the new 6.5 ROMS out there. At some point it wasn't slow per se, but it would completely freeze, and then I'd have to soft reset. *IF* it got past the loading screen, it would take me to the initial configuration, as though it had been hard reset. I couldn't make it 48 hours without it doing that. Didn't matter which 6.5 ROM I tried, it always did the same thing.
(shameless plug for Sashimi and Makisu! Lifesavers!)
Tried leaving out the microSD card in case it was bad data - no luck.
Tried not configuring anything - just using it as a phone - in case it was a corrupted CAB or something. Not that either.
At the end, I gave up and I was prepared to take it into the Sprint store. (I bought my phone on Ebay, so no idea what kind of success I would have had, if any.) I flashed back to stock rom, installed my cabs and user settings, etc. and waited for it to happen.
It's been over a week now, absolutely no problems.
Long shory stort: flash back to stock ROM and see how it turns out.
Good luck!
weso has a good point...But
Flash back to stock, hard reset.
Flash your ROM of choosing, hard reset
enjoy new Rom
I find after a couple flashes that I need to flash back to stock hard reset then flash new Rom. After that I tend to have a much more enjoyable experience.
Interesting. I wonder if there's any way to explain that, or if we have to put that in the X-files folder - just one of those things.
I also ALWAYS go into the bootloader manually by rebooting with the reset button and holding power and vol-down. Not sure if it makes a difference or just makes me feel better, but I've had zero issues doing it that way, so that's what I keep doing.
Mightyrom6
Hey out there! Can anyone help with this problem I am having. With the MightyRom 6 on the Touch Pro for Sprint? When Touch Flo is enable and you slide the tab to settings and tap All Settings on the bottom left it will go to Connections Only! It will not go to the All Settings screen. Can anyone help me? I know how to edit the registry but, can't find anything out there. Please Help!
Many believe this happens due to not "flash dancing" (flash then hardreset).
Be wary of doing this with generic stock roms, ive had an experiance in which my prl and qcn files were reset to the generic stock ones of a diffrent provider, which in turn got me to take the phone in and get it carrer flashed again ( NO CARRIER SPECFIC ROMS OR STOCK FOR TBAYTEL!!! . god bless tbay tell lol, but anyways after the initial flash of a rom you like, before you load it with cabs install one at a time to ensure proper installation and compatability with your current rom. Also before you run any freshly installed apps/cabs be sure to soft reset after install.
My method of flashing
Ensure battery is above 80%
Fully synced and connected
Freshly rebooted computer and phone
Update/Flash phone
Hardreset after customize and initial setup
Re-configure customise/etc
soft reset
Good to GO!
Also with every flash there is the posability of it just being a bad flash.
in some cases the freezing and such may be pagepool/Driver issue's with your hardware
I was trying some of the 1.2 ROM's on my gTablet when the touchscreen function started to fail. At first it was slow to respond and then became totally unresponsive after several reboots. Now I cannot get a touch response from the screen or the side buttons.
I was able to NV Flash and even load other ROM's but the screen still does not respond. I thought it was likely a problem with failed hardware but I noticed that when I was using CWM the home and back buttons were totally responsive so now I am thinking there may be a hidden software issue that I could fix.
I have tried the calibration.ini with no result and I would not be able to run the recalibrate apk as it would require touchscreen response to run it.
I have been reading the threads and have not found any results on fixing a totally locked touchscreen. Can anyone help?
wipe the tablet clean and start from scratch. Most likely it is software based if the buttons work in CWM. Use nvflash to wipe it.
Boot into ClockworkMod.
Go to Advanced
hit key test
Press all the buttons. If you get two numbers for each press, it thinks you have a finger on the unit all the time.
Ok I know im a newbie...but went thru all the steps to root the device successfully
then I had 2.5 TWRP installed...i see the wipes there are two to perform before installing the cleanrom 2.0
so i go to do that..and I know the developer says to do a factory reset...but on 2.5 there is no button anymore to
do this..i looked thru each option..what am i doing wrong..so anyway, i do both wipes then chose the install
and clicked on cleanrom 2.0 ..it went thru a bunch of screens..and after a number of them nothing...so i waited 10
minutes...did a reboot and my device stayed on the opeing brilliant screen ...i could not even get into recovery to redo
the phone..i was ready to bring it back to swap it out as i bought it from costco..and would just play dumb
so I hooked it up to my power in car and that somehow made it turn off,, then i was able to go do a factory reset using
the backup and now phone is working..i'd still like to use clean rom..but kind of gunshy due to what happened...
anyone else care to shed some light...im sure it might have to do with not doing a factory reset...where is that option????
i see a factory reset in the list of options when i press power and vol down???? but i think they want the one in TWRP
Aroma installer may have frozen and didn't finish installing the Rom. Try it again. Make sure you verify the md5 just in case you got a bad download.

well i wouldnt be so sure,
I did an advanced wipe in TW recovery and wiped everything, then tried installing cleanrom 2.0. aroma froze at the first option and I cant get do anything, I cant hard reset. The lights at the bottom just flash. I let the battery die and now tried to get into recovery, just went to HTC screen, same thing. holding down any button just makes the capacitive buttons flash.
someone help out?
Edit: got into recovery with adb, should be good now
First, always check the MD5 checksum for any Rom, kernel, or mod that you intend to flash. It is a well documented issue that Aroma has a tendency to freeze up. Not always, but it does happen. I have flashed many roms, mods, and kernels from both the AT&T section, and the international section, and I have had smooth installs and freezes. If the phone is not responding, then press both the power button and the volume down button and hold them. When the capacitive buttons start flashing, keep holding the power and volumes buttons. Your phone will eventually reboot. When it does, keep holding the volume down button. It will take you into Hboot. If you miss it, power down the phone. Hold the power and volume down button to boot into Hboot. Select recovery and start over. When using Aroma installer use the volume keys and the power button to make your selections. This often helps prevent freezes, but not 100% of the time. It is something we just have to live with for now.

If the ROM were to blame, then everyone that flashed it would be bricked, which is clearly not the case. It is completely irresponsible to create a thread titled "rom x almost bricked my phone" and on top of that, you start your first sentence with, "Ok I know im a newbie". Especially with all the very well known Aroma issues on this phone which is independent of the ROM. OP, your thanks meter will probably stay at zero for a while.
Yeah do not blame cleanrom for something you did wrong. I'm running it right now and it is fantastic and perfect for what I want right now. And it installed without a hitch.

Not the rom. But aroma. Aroma installer is buggy
Bricking is like horseshoes. there is no close. you are bricked or not. A soft-bricking is a different story and the term brick is probably over used there too
As to wiping under TRWP 2.5.0.0, some options have been moved below the Advanced menu.
BTW, Cleanrom 2 is SWEET and worth the effort. Good luck
Hi, I need help for my I777... I really don't know what to do.
I have been on Slim Bean for 5 months (previously I had CyanogenMod 9 & 10), but four days ago it started to reboot randomly. At first I didn't pay much attention to these crashes, but then they became more and more frequent, until the free interval was only a few seconds. There were no strange processes active, and even wipe cache / wipe dalvik / fix permissions solved the problem. In the meantime I also noticed that the phone was doing like phantom power button presses, and it did also while I was in CWMR, making it really hard for me to do this things.
I did a full wipe and clean install, but nothing changed.
So I tried to revert back to stock gingerbread with heimdall on my mac, and to flash different official rom versions, either rooted or non rooted... but nothing worked. Countless full wipes, mr Cook wipe script... nothing. The phone even rebooted while it was in download mode and Heimdall was flashing new kernel and rom.
I tried also with odin from a PC. The last firmware I flashed was official UCMD8 Jeally Bean Stock, non rooted, from your download repository, which also had bootloader in it... but nothing.
Reebots are still there. It seems that random presses are gone on Stock Recovery, but maybe it's just a matter of time... while the phone is switched on phantom presses are still there.
I tried everything I know... events seem to be completely random and I can't find any trigger for them. The problem is passing from rom to rom without noticeable changes... I don't know what to do.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much... and sorry for the long post, but it's quite difficult to describe such a strange behaviour.
Sounds to me like a faulty power button. There are a few guides on how to repair it yourself, or you can send it in to Mobile Tech Videos and they can fix it for you at a price.
I agree with SteveMurphy, you have described the classic symtoms of a failing power button.
Before attempting a replacement, or sending it off, I do suggest buying/trying a can of contact-cleaner (after completely removing the board from the device). This worked for me us a few months ago, and has reportedly worked for others as well.

I tried this solution, but it didn't work... Tomorrow I'll go to a local repair centre and see if they can do something for me!
Thank you guys
