Did it work at all some time, or is it that you cannot use the from since you got the device at all?

Open what? The battery cover? When you remove the battery cover the device automatically switches off (soft reset).
You should get all your personal data from the phone (backup or something) and do a hard reset. This is done by putting the style into the reset hole while holding down the Power-Button (upper right corner next to the stylus hole) at the same time. Then it might work again, because that is setting it back to factory settings (well, almost). A soft reset is just a restart. If your configuration is in some way faulty it will just restart with the faulty config. With a hard reset it will wipe the faulty config also.
Most probably your SIM card is damaged. Try your SIM card in another unlocked phone and if you mini is not locked try another SIM card on your mini.

Hi re patrida...
Why don`t you try to upgrade the ROM of your Magician?
Try some other ROMs than the one that you are using right now...
And if it works, "don`t tell it even to the priest"!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Perhaps the phone was reported stolen and the IMEI has been blocked.
I'm not sure what would happen if that was the case but it worked one day and stopped working suddenly.

Crashed!!!!
What is being displayed on the screen?
Are you able to use your XDA at all?
Will it still connect to your PC via ActiveSync?
the answer to all those questions is no....
no activesync
no using the xda
the only thing that is being displayed is the startup o2 sign and in the left hand bottom corner it says
g
r
s 31.85834 (or some number)
and then it goes to a blank white page.....
it keeps swapping back and forth from these two pages
thanks
jay
Are you able to get into the bootloader?
press and hold to on/off button while soft-resetting.
Do you have a SD card reader?
Also, where did you get the xda from, just incase!?!
im gonna try the bootloader thing....but what do i do if it works (im waiting for it to charge up abit before i do that) although i dont think it is charging
i dont have a sd card yet....
o2 online....i have insurance, i think (hope) they will change it....but im going away tommorow for 4 weeks....and im stuck without a phone...so i wanted to know if there was a way that i could reinstall it again...
thanks again york for your help
jay
hey yeah i can get to bootloader
wallaby bootloader v5.22
what do i do?
it siad there is a gsm erorr?
thanks
jay
Right, well it's a start, unfortunatly without an SD card reader there is nothing that I know that will fix this problem, as you cannot use Activesync without the os loading.
I've had a quick look around the forums but all related articles on fixes suggest the need for a card reader.
When you did the upgrade, did you remember to remove the power supply first?.
It seems that leaving the power supply attached while upgrading the radio causes an internal configuration error.
If no one else here can help with your problem, you will have to send it back to O2, they will replace it for new, however, if they do kick up a fuss, remind them of the Sale of Goods Act (Amendment) 2003.
Sorry, that's about as much as I can do mate. Good luck, and don't be but off the xda by this problem, I got mine of ebay and broke the screen within a week, had to fork out another £130 for a new screen, but I'm very glad I did.
ok thanks york......
i will give o2 a call.....
thanks

Great now press the Calender button, that should put you in the GSM
bootloader mode. From there run some of the options ect.., try changing your band to 900 and see if that helps also try turning the radio off as that might let your XDA bootup.
hi....i tried that and it kep saying....
gsm turn ON fail!!
any more ideas?
thanks

Hi people,
My first post and unfortunately for a big problem...
I entered into a subway this morning and lost the sign (normal, of course) but now more than 10 hours later I still have no service, it shows the antenna and a ! next to it only.
I have tried the following:
- On commanager, The flight mode is NOT ON and the phone mode IS ON.
- Soft reset
- Hard Reset
- Tested the SIM card in a different cellphone, works OK.
- Tested a different SIM card into my P3600, no service.
It can't even find the a network when I set it to manual.
Please, any help can be useful...
thanks!
Claudio Henrique
try coming out of the subway
but seriously it sounds like it's knackered. Could try re-flashing the firmware.
another thought. Have you tried a sim card of a different mobile operator in the 3600 ?
Yes yes, lol, I forgot to tell that I came out of the subway...
Anyway, I think all I can do now is try reflashing. I have the original ROM 1.15.405.5...
I have just finished the reflashing and after all I still having the same problem... no phone service... My SIM card is working fine when I test it in my old motorola phone...
Anyone else have an idea??
thanks...

It really sounds like you've been methodical and covered all the possibilities. I hate to say it, but it may be time for the service center or retailer if they would take it back. The good thing is that you got your original ROM back on the thing so they can't complain about that. Good luck.
have you tried a different network operators sim card in the phone?
the phone's imei could have been barred from your current operator.
Yes, I have tried a SIM card from a different carrier, didn't work.
I'm sending it tomorrow to Teleservice in Germany (is it a good repair company?) to fix it up, let's see what happens.
Thanks guys!
good luck.
Hi guys, I'm back. I sent my P3600 for fixing and they replaced the mainboard and works fine.
But, when I lose the sign the phone just take forever to restablish it. Today I came out of the subway again and the phone din't get service and I had to soft reset it...
And thats what happened the day before I sent it to repair... I fell like it's going to happen again!
Try to take another road.

If i were you i'd start taking the bus!!!
Yes yes, your suggestion is valid... lol, but I'm serious, I don't know why I need to soft reset the device every time I lose service... that is annoying!
How many second a HTCP3600 need to find service when you turn it on or do a soft reset? I mean, what can be considered a normal behavior?
When I turn it on, it stays with the "!" for about 5 minutes and only after that time I get service... but sometimes I get no service at all....
I got in touch with Teleservice in germany, which replaced my mainboard, to see if they can give me some advice before I need to send it overseas, again, for repair... or replacement if possible!
If someone have an advice I would apreciate...
Thanks!

I always get a service within 5 seconds or something.. So there is definately something wrong with your device/simcard/provider.

If your device after reflashing of official version of ROM isn't starting up - something wrong with RAM or ROM(hardware) IMHO. Visit the Service Centre.
I had similar problems with my Atom. IT seems that there are some hardware issues that prevent Atom from starting in certain conditions. In my case, Atom freezes when I soft-reset using stylus and SR button. It defreezes if I take out battery and put it back, but in this case Atom looses time settings. In case I do softreset with program (like O2 plus) Atom restarts Ok and no problems at all.

HI all.Already five days I got home the phone with China's navy much I enjoyed it, but I just had a great sense of helplessness. From the first day I have with this phone problem: after about five minutes of operation to stop responding touch screen or soft reset helping jse since I do not even hard reboot (press and hold volume up button + camera and then use the stylus to do reset). So I excluded the battery for about 5 minutes after that time I re-inserted the battery into the device and turned on him when everything started to work so I found an item MASTER RESET and then I made it proceeded normally, but up to the display settings when I finally managed to set the display (approximately on 10 attempts!) and again the phone worked well. then I try to delete the original touch Flo, but unfortunately it did not too. when the device is put in stand by mode and turn on the device after the display was not functioning again. Then I thought to try different combinations of key presses to obtain a hard reboot. Finally, I managed to find kobinaci functional buttons: I dragged the button at the same time receiving a call (GREN), and click the camera and I have soft reset then whole screen changed color to blue and make the hard reboot, unfortunately, I stopped at the display because the touch screen does not respond anything! Did not even remove the battery! Please ask for help, please
Do you use MIO 350 with this device but I never had the slightest problem and to use non-original rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvd3z6fpXrQ
I apologize for my English using Google translator
i think the clone rom is corrupted
infact i really dont think clone model will even let you update the rom too
it could also be cause of damaged Hardware
Yes it seems you're right. It looks at the failure of hardware
thx.
hello there. for you and anyone else with china htc problem this is the solution for it.
go to this page and download the IMG file called "update.img" from this link
then follow this steps.
1. Format your HTC memory card (Micro SD card), so it will be clean.
2. Move the update.img (you already downloaded from the site) to root directory of your Memory card.
3. Press Volume Up button on your htc and while keeping it pressed , press the reset button.
You should get the blue screen telling the update being downloaded. Wait for a while and it will tell that Update is successfull and your phone will be rebooted.
THis is it.

This I have already tried, but without success. The combination of pressing volume up and press the soft reset using stylus on my device does not work!
I only managed to make hard reset but it was an interesting combination of a call button (green) and the camera button and then using the stylus, I made hard reset the whole screen changed color to blue . On my device, which was served on the operating system was installed WM 6.1
These Chinese guys are really smart. First they invented 2-sim IPhone, now Elf... Keep going people...
Today, I wrote that my phone is defective. So I have to send him to HONG KONG. When I receive a repaired or new I know how it turned out

If you are using Windows vista or windows 7, you need to have Windows mobile device centre from the Microsoft website installed.

How would I know from that picture? They copied the entire bloody device and installed WM6.1 on it, they didn't call it HTC on the front to avoid getting their arses sued or customs stopping their product, I can bet you the internals are not in any way related to HTC, what is the sense coming here with inane questions?? You already know you don't have the genuine HTC product, you knew it the minute you bought it, you still want to ask members of this forum if you have the real deal?
