How can I change the boot screen of my MDA4? I mean the screen which appears first after I do hard reset. I bought an MDA4 and flashed it as i-mate to make it's interface english. I want my device to show a picture of T-Mobile after every hard reset.

Hey everyone,
Firstly this is my first post and so I am not quite sure whether I am posting in the right place. Accept my apologies if I have made a mistake. I own a Htc Tytn which I purchased this January 2007. I read in several forums that some users are experiencing certain problems with the device like screen allignment etc. I was very glad to find out thart my device was a very stable one. Surprisingly it never froze. I did perform some soft resets at times just to ensure everything stays all right. I also did not have any keyboard or allighnment issue. Today when I was speaking on the phone suddenly my Tytn shut down. When I restarted it the screen went white. Firstly I tried performing a soft reset which didn't work and then a hard reset which didn't work as well. Then i thought of entering the bootloader mode so that I can install the ROM again but it wouldn't go into the boot loader mode ( I did press the right sequence of buttons for the hard, soft reset and for entering bootloader mode). Even the htc logo doesn't appear. Whenever the power button is pressed the screen goes white. Also whenever I tried the different reset and tried entering bootloader mode the screen went white as well. My device had almost full charge when this happened. Also one more thing, as the screen goes white the green button( send/ receive)button blinks( weird!!!!) but the red button is not lit and doesn't blink at all. Lastly I think I have made it clear that I was not trying to upgrade the ROM or anything when this disaster happened. I WOULD reaaallly appreciate if somebody could help me sort this problem out with my Tytn before I am forced to send this device back to HTC for repair( which I don't want to). Thanks everyone.
Check the TyTn Wiki:

There's a section in there on the solid white screen, phone doesn't boot. I think it's in the "Common Upgrade Problems" section but the advice there may be applicable to your situation. Good luck!
Hello to everybody!
this is a great job you are doing here!
there is a bit of a problem.
i had wm6 arte 100 with:
IPL:3.13.0001
SPL:3.13.0000
GSM:02.94.90
OS:3.13.00
and after running uspl :
SPL:1.11.0000 (I'm sure)
OS:3.13.0.0 (I think)
after a soft reset and a full restart all were running properly.
i took out sim card and sd card connected properly to pc and started the
o2 premium 2.0 full
the procedure went well i made some setup regarding appearence and tried a restart (not soft) for the sim and sd cards to mount.
the ppc boots i see the htc moving start-up screen and then stays in the usual green "windows mobile" screen.
is there any case it can be fixed or should i start trying to see if it can fly?
thank you very much at least for chance to see something different in my artemis screen!
keep walking
after trying several kind of restart here is what,
i pressed both selection keys and at the same time pressed the soft reset button and i kept pressing the selection keys untill a msg in black backround informed about a proccedure that would take place and erase all data etc,etc
i presssed the green key and after 10 sec i was working again full.
i proceded to further settings regarding touch flo and soft reset for the settings to apply, all well also!!!!!
i really do not how but i think i did it !!!!!!!!
Hello everyone. After some researching, this seemed like the best site to answer my question, as I have not found an answer yet.
Yesterday morning, I was running my ATT 8525 (which I believe you refer to as "hermes") just fine. I was using the internet sharing feature, and went to reset the phone. I "believe" I pressed the power button while pressing the "ptt- push to talk" - button. The phone turned off, and when I turned the phone back on, rather than loading like it normally did, I got a new screen.
The screen has 4 color bars. A red bar at the top, then a green bar, then a blue bar, and last, a white bar of color on the bottom. Each bar takes up 1/4 of the screen and runs horizontally. At the top, the phone says, in white text:
HERM100
1PL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
At the bottom of the screen, in the white bar of color, in black text, it says
SERIAL
Now, when I press the power button to turn the phone off, nothing happens. I have to remove the battery to shut off the power. If I plug in a USB cable, the SERIAL text changes to USB. If I press the top two buttons, the one above window and the one above ok, while pressing the stick in to reset the phone, that screen works ok. I believe it is called a "hard reset" It asks if I want to erase all data and restore factory settings, and if so, press r. I press R on the keyboard, and the screen then says reset complete, press space. I press space and then I am back to the screen with 4 color bars. Nothing else I have tried works either. I have been stuck on this screen with 4 color bars since yesterday.
I took my cell phone in to ATT to be looked at and the sales people at the store say that I am 7 days past my warranty, and that they can't/won't repair the phone, but they would be happy to sell me a brand new one... for several hundred dollars.
So, the folks on the internet are my last hope =( If anyone reading this knows anything, even if it is a link to another site or something, that may help me resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, I at least thank you for your time reading my post.

Oh, as an additional thought, if it helps, I have not used any of these :baked: roms or any such thing. I bought my phone and used it as is. The one and only change I ever did to my phone was I followed ATT's steps on upgrading from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6, if I remember their names correctly. Hope this helps.
Bootloader. This is the name of the screen according to my research.
"Is your device able to boot Windows Mobile OS?
This one is easy: If can you see your today screen and use your phone as a PDA means you can boot OS. If you only see the splash screen, bootloader screen (tri-color) or windows mobile splash screen you can't boot OS."
Got this from the thread at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
So, I guess I am stuck at the bootloader screen.
Try a Hard reset - hold both soft keys and reset with stylus. Hold in until it asks to reset to factory (whatever). Press "r" on the slideout keyboard and then space. You should go back throught the setup PPC steps.
YOU WILL LOOSE ALL INFORMATION ON YOUR HERMES...This is unescapable as you would any other way you tried to recover your Hermes too.
I suggest if you get it working to install Hard SPL V7 (makes recovery easier) and also pim backup so you can restore all your contacts/messages if something goes wrong again.
Cheers... & good luck.
I have tried hard resetting many times, and it does not work. It says that it succeeds and that factory settings have been restored, and then I am back to the bootloader screen. I have been to the wiki on bricked hermes phones and recovering from a brick. From that, I ascertain I have a type 2 bricked phone (goes directly to bootloader screen). I tried the MTTY tool, and it says that the NAND write was successful on both commands, but, I am still stuck at bootloader screen. I have since tried installing a few different roms, even in SSLL and HARDSPL modes, and nothing has worked.
What I have not tried is the JPIN fix, as I am not an engineer and don't have the tools or knowledge on how to do that. I also don't know how to do the microsoft operating system download fix (using an emulator?)
** UPDATE **
I think it might have been the mtty commands, but I took the battery out overnight, and when I put the battery back in to try the KITL attempt, the phone booted up and started to do the config. I was happy and thought that the phone was fixed, but when it was done with the configurating the phone, it reset back into boot loader screen -_-
You may need to check for bad blocks. This sometimes causes the problems you descibe as well as spontaneous Hard Resets and occasional soft resets.
Do a search for "how to fix bad blocks hermes" and you should get the info you need...
Hope this helps...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What happened? Did you flash a new rom to your phone? Did you drop it? Did it get any water damage? It sounds like something is wrong (mechanically / electronically)
I DID FLASH MY blackstone to 1.56 just change from german to french
the phone stucks on align
i cant align the screen , impossible to make a hard reset and all the RemoteCalibration doesnt support the blac100
the tric welcome.not doesnt work also
it works well in german now i cant flash it because invalid vendor id
radio 1.13.25.24
G52.62.25.34U
D.1.56.00.00
BLAC100 32 M
SPL-1.54.0000
ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX???
HOW TO EDIT THE REGISTRY VIA EXPLORE THE PHONE VIA ACTIVESYNCRO???
Hi manouba,
please try the following, if possible:
(1) Connect your Phone to your PC using Activesync (it works even when you are stuck at alignment screen).
(2) Download this Remote Screen Alignment program.
(3) Install and run this program from your PC.
(4) Choose SKIP to avoid the Align Screen Wizard. This program has a few features that you might want to use in the future.
(5) Restart the phone and you are done.
Let me know if this works or not.
Note: Incase your screen is badly aligned (if touch screen works); you can start the alignment wizard from settings and do few taps. You will not come out of the loop, so press any key like screen off button, Windows or restart the phone.
Best Regards.
Try using mobile registry editor: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-and-Shell/Windows/Mobile-Registry-Editor-10636.shtml
Hello everyone!
i've recently got a new Elf, and after installing my MUI, the windows performed a soft reset, and after it did, the blue windows mobile "Loading" screen appears, and than it turns to the green "Windows mobile" screen (those whice appear while loading) and than it gets stucked.
i tried to performe a hard reset, and i've seen videos of howto, and i spoke with a HTC lab in my country, and they all told me the same - Hard reset.
i pushed TALK+END and than pushed in and out the Stylus, it does resets itself but the first thing i see on the screen is the blue windows mobile loading screen.
it like it skips the boot level (which can't be, since windows lauched).
so what can i do?
is there anyway to reinstall windows mobile without a need to connect the Elf to the PC using ActiveSync?
Thanks in advance!
Or.
hard reset
as u have got a new one dont try too much on that... n check this if u have done the right thing...http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2173/2193904710_88f0aa424f.jpg

STILL A PROBLEM

BTW, when i press Talk+End, and than reset and before release the reset Enter, it shows a blue empty screen, and than it shows the Blue loading screen.
It works!
Thanks.
