i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007

Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.

Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

This thread should give you some details. I had the same problem but phoned Orange who sent me out a new one in 9 hours!

thanks.
I just flashed a new radio and it completed it but now my phone will not reboot at all , ive took the battery out and put it back in and still nothing can someone please help me
1- this is in the wrong forum...
2- you need to give a lot more info. like what phone you have, what rom/radio you are running and what radio you flashed. and what steps exactly you did. exact steps.
have a htc hd2 and i the radio is 2.095103 and i went to 7 zip and extracrted it their after the download went to a 100 percent and then the phone cut off and now nothing , no power
and i have diniks rom
and when i plug it into the computer it makes that noise like its connected but still a black screen
is it a tmobile us hd2??
green and red hard keys??
t mobile UNITED STATES AND YES GREEN AND RED
Ok I hate to be the bearer of bad news but......
if the radio you flashed has .51. in it then your phone is dead.
You may be able to claim it on warranty........ just dont mention flashing anything.....
Really , dang so theirs nothing i can do at all, no tricks . And thank u for trying to help out
Sorry man its gone........ those radios are for the EU Hd2's and will completely screw a US model.....
People have said that they managed to get a warranty replacement........ after all, you woke up in the morning and the phone was dead not your fault right??
if you see what I mean......
your exactly right , i get what your saying..... see the phone was a replacement phone anyways cause the original got stolen and i have 180 days if someting goes wrong
You should be fine then..........
next time just remember....
NO 51 RADIOS!!!!!
Hope it all works out for you.........
i got it taken care of , so even when they get it they wont b able to fix or figure out what is wrong with it right
So yesterday i was searching forums and i found this thread that lets you download and update the WP7 rom with the new nodo release.
http ://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/
Work fine installed and i have the new nodo update on my device.
But... when i try to open emails, messages, internet explorer etc the mozart will not load them and will return straight back to the home screen.
Im getting really frustrated and im just trying to restore the mozart back to the rom before the new update... for some reason im finding information on how to do this impossible
Help would really be appreciated
cheers guys,
wow i was just goin to awnser you, but this has to wait some more minutes, i just had the craziest crash on my mozart!
battery almost empty
i hook it up on my pc, zune starts everything is fine...
one or two minutes later, the mozart made a "PLOP" sound
it normally does it when you turn off the screen (maybe it didnt always do it)
but i heard the sound once or twice (or more)
but its not normal that the sound comes that late.
well. ZUNE said when this happend: Cant Connect to your Phone, please check connection (after sync)
The RED LED Light is still ON, but i cant connect my phone to Zune
Windows makes the USB Sound, mozart wont react,
i cant turn the screen on!
i cant not even turn it off!
only the RED LED is always On
OH MY LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?!
im goin to pull the battery and see wtf is happending....
btw sorry to highjack your post
/edit
PFEW lucky me battery plug fixxed it,
i wonder wtf this was! scared the hell out of me..
now to your problem, its really simple and a little surfing the forum would have helped you, maybe searching is always a good idea, but here we go:
Depending on you Carrier you can flash back any Carrier Branded rom without Goldcard, if u want to use another carriers rom or a unbranded one youll need a goldcard, sdcard(usbreader) & Y-Cable
so if you on T-Mobile DE you get from here:

cheers again for the help man just had to find the right one!
HI
Hope you can help...
When i start my phone i get some coloured lines down my screen they go after a second or so.
I was going to root my phone, when i put it in download mode the lines do not go. Is this faulty hardware or a software thing.....
Problem is i can not read what the screen says in download not etc. (if this really matters, i do not know)
Cheers for you help, ive tried to attach a photo.
Sorry if this should go in Q & A please can a mod move....
Does this only happen in bootscreen/Download mode? Or always, also when booted fully, in homescreen? EDIT: I see it's just for a second at boot. :S
Anyway, take it to the store/warranty or wherever before it's too late. You should be covered by warranty if it's still less that 1/2 years since you haven't rooted.
Get it replaced mate ..!!
I have to say im impressed. I rang Orange UK at 7.30pm Sunday my new phone was delivered at 9.30 am Monday!!
Hi all,
Got a Rogers HTC one off of craigslist a few months ago which was already flashed to stock 4.3... worked great. Just yesterday I got a prompt on my phone asking me if I wanted to update to 4.4. "Sure, it cant be too hard?" I thought. Maybe its that I'm novice, but it didn't end up looking so simple. Soon the device asked me if I wanted to continue, saying this is not reversible so I said yes, then another message, I said yes again.. the device then turned off, then back on and there was a black screen with white letters and a loading bar.. when it finished i think it asked me another question about backing up the ruu or something like that and I said no... the phone turned off and tried to reboot, first the white with HTC quietly brilliant, then the google logo for half a second and then right to a light plue pixelated screen with little lines in it.. every time I hold the power button to turn off it turns back on and same thing. Is this whats called a boot loop? Did I do something wrong? At one point I tried turning off and then holding power and volume buttons to get into bootloader and it worked.. I didn't really know what to do so I just told it to reboot and it did but with same blue screen. I've been reading a lot of threads on here but I didn't see anything quite like this. Sorry for the long post. I'd really appreciate it if someone would help me out here.
Thank you.
