Hi!
I did a hard/total reset of my XDA mini (HTC magician) and now I got stuck in the alignment screen. I know that alignment problems occur quite frequently- I had these problems myself and often had to realign the screen. Now, the cross moves as I am tapping but then it starts over again and I can't exit or finish the dialogue...
Can I do anything (except from buying a new one)? Currently, I'm not in my home country and I need this device...
Cheers,
Kerstin
ive upgraded my hermes with official O2 hermes rom a month ago. 2 days ago i upgraded with black satin normal edition. my phone worked 2 days normally but today touch screen has no reaction when i touch it.

When you flashed the other ROMS did you bypass the screen alignment screen somehow? Or is that where it is stuck?
Mike
yes when i pushed power buttons it passes boot scren and says "tap the screen to set up your windows mobile based device" because of the screen i cant touch it. so nothing more
thanks for reply
I had a similar problem, it turned out however to be an issue with the digitizer for the touch screen and it was simply a coincidence I was flashing roms.
I did the trick of sliding a credit card between the screen and the frame and cleared out some gunk - then it worked perfectly.
I just had the same thing happen lol.. company bought me a new one and cingular sent me a broken refurb so now they are sending another

i just had the same problem after upgrading my new 8525 to wm6 then flashed again to shaps 3.54 then 3.60 and then back to wm6 because it had so many bugs. then screen stopped working. i took out battery/sim card for 10 minutes as well as using a receipt to clean out the screen (under the case) and worked just fine for 30 minutes. now the screen is dead again. YAY. got a 300$ piece of ****.
Hello I've got an Tmobile Ameo wich is a brand of the HTC Athena with an Olipro SPL copyed on it with the Athena Unlocker by Olipro.
Today I've copy much Data on my Microdrive useing my Windows Xp PC and the Programm WM5torage. I did this serveral times before and it works everytime smooth.
But today my Battary went out of power while this copyprocess and I didn't recognize it because the Athena was turned to Silent.
So my Display went of.
So I changed the Akku but when I pulled out the empty one my Athena show a very strang just white Screen.
I put the new full Battary in and tryed to launch.
But if I drop down the power key just the light of the "OK" and "Windows" Buttons goes on. If I press the powerbutton agein they went off again. There is nothing on the screen.
If I try to Hardreset the device then there happens nothing instead of the Actionkey light went green and off again.
But one time I tryed to enter hardreset mode I first saw the Screen with the different Colors from the Bootloadermode but then a verf similar screen but just with a blue color and colors between grey and white.
After this I recognized that If I touch some places of the device the Display turns on but only white and after a time off agein.
This is very strange because nothing mechanical happent to the athena.
Entering Bootloader Mode ends in the white screen too without success.
What should I do?
Edit:
I just recognized that my Windows Mobile is still running.
If I press the Voice Button there are 2 beeps and if I say a name he also repeats.
So it must be just a display problem but I dont understand because the display still works.
Edit2:
Next Thing if I press a bit on the back of the device, the screen is normal again but after sometime there comes grey lines and then it goes fully white very slowly.

Yes I also think so.
Do you know how long it takes to let an Athena Repair?
Hello
i've got en elf but it is stuck at the align screen.
i searched the forum for many day's and i found out that the digitizer probably is broken.
So i bought an new one an installed it with this manual
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407323
great manual by the way
I also installed a new housing
I installed one of the new roms
But it is still stuck on the align screen$
I have a constant loop
first middle cross, then the 4 corners and then back to the middle
i installed a program to override the align screen and then the i can use the phone but when i tap the touch screen it is not the place i tapped that opens because it is not aligned
What can i do because i am all out of answers
ps there is no warrenty anymore
Greetz Hatchy
it could be the touchscreen
LCD and touchscreen are not the same
some models heve them separated,some not
as i could see elf has
touchscreen pic1
LCD pic2
so try replacing the touchscreen they are few dollars on ebay
Or if you want, you can have somebody cook a ROM for you that bypasses the screen alignment part.

i doubt it's the software,because he said he tried some roms
and bypassing screen align can make phone unuseable,so....

Yea, but even though, he can still use the phone without the touch screen before he gets it replaced.

well if it was artemis...he could (arte has a mouse pointer)
but elf lacks the buttons,so using it without touch will be tricky
Hello
i replaced the touch screen because the old one had the same problems
but the new has the same problem

When your PPC is at the alignment part of the start up process simply plug it into your computer and let activesync run. You do not need to set up a partnership at this time to do this.
Explore your PPC and go to the windows folder and then to the startup folder and delete the welcome file in there.
Soft reset your PPC and you are good to go!
I had an IPAQ for years that had a bad spot in the middle of the screen and this is the only way I have found to bypass the alignment.
I am stuck on the align screen in a loop as well. What program did you write to skip the screen. I am not able to use the phone because of that. I am really terribly stuck. Please help. Thanks.
I hear placing a blank text file named "welcome" with the extension ".not" on the root of your SD card after hard resetting will bypass the Windows Mobile setup. And until you get your screen repaired (if ever) and if you have a working DPAD, then you can download a free, configurable mouse cursor here. Just go the the third post and click on the attachment I posted.

Well,
For what it's worth,
I found out on my brother's Qtek S200 that was also in a loop, that it automatically passed the align screen after some 15 times.
Later I found this in the registry:
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Touch\MaxCallError(=16)
So I assume you can tick the align screen 16 times before it continues?
it works!!
