Charmer will not boot unless connected to USB ? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi All,
I have a strange problem I wish to share (don't worry its with my Charmer !)
I am not sure when it started occuring, but now it will only boot with the USB connected. Without it I get a hangup on the 'Wondows Mobile' blue screen. Connect the USB and the version numbers on the T-Mobile boot screen come up much quicker and then after about 1 minute of the Windows blue screen it is on.
It is really weird ?
The onlys changes I have made is the registry memory improvements (mentioned in this forum) to try and get a little extra speed. I am pretty sure it did not start immediately after that though.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this
and if so
how did you overcome the problem.
Thanks.

ActiveSync causes PC to Crash, blue screen???

This has been happening on two diffrent PCs and with diffrent handsets (Both with the XDA min, and now, the Universal).
Once in 5, I plug in the universal, and WHACK!, blue screen? Pc has crashed?
I have noticed that this tends to happen when the Universal is low on power, has anybody else experinced these?
It happens to me sometimes. Generally, its with my laptop it hibernates when inactive. When I boot it back up (with my XDA plugged in) I get the blue screen of death :?
No idea why!
I have two Win XPs on my comp. In one of them (very old installation) JasJar works just great, I can sync it without any problem while in the other one it just brings BSOD immediately upon USB cable is plugged in it (well as soon as it installs the driver) so in that Win (my primary) I use Btooth connection to sync, only.
I have no idea why is that and I am planning to reinstall XP ASAP... or someone clever will indicate what is going on and save me a lot of time and trouble.
The only way to avoid this so far
is to only plug in a well charged Universal. This is some sort of power surge bug...
It happened to me also, especially when I ran live update of norton antivirus. Sinece I unistalled norton, it doesn't happen anymore.

Help with Dead Magician

Hello All,
It has been a while since my last post, but I need help once again.
My Magician has taken a turn for the worse. The power connector has broken off and I had it repaired by a great company.
My issue is now the device is coming up with multiple colors on the display (primarily Orange, Light Blue, and White) vertically). This is different from the color test where it is Red, Blue, Green.
When I attempt to load the ROM all I get are connection issues on the MaUpgradeUt. I am not positive I have gotten the device into the correct mode as the display is not working. Speaking of displays, the company that attempted to repair my device did try a new screen and experienced the same results. Also they placed the original screen on a new Magician and the screen worked great.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would love to have my Magician back.
Thank you,
John
John,
Try maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp, instead of maupgradeut.exe. It may help. I don't advice you to run down the battery cause some are complaining that it won't charge without OS. BTW does the led come up constantly when you plug in the power or usb? If so you probably still got an OS.
Guess you know how to put it into bootloader, just try & hold for a second or 10 & connect usb & try to flash with the no_id. Must be difficult without confirmations on your screen, but a SD flash will be even harder.
Hope this helps, otherwise I see only one solution left: have it serviced again :-(
Regards, M
Thank you for the info.
I tried the new MaUpgradeUt_noID but now I am getting the error on the PC saying Error 150: ROM Upgrade Utility Error.
The device appears to be fully functional with the exception of the screen.
John
Did you ran the noid once or twice. It needs to be running twice, my guess is that in the first run it alters the RUU file (adds the first line devicecheck or something) & the second it really upgrades.
Was the screen problem present before you had the power-connector serviced? Maybe something is loose or broken now...
Cheers, M

White screen - NOT FROM FLASHING!

Hey guys,
ActiveSync wasn't finding my phone last night, so I soft reset it. When it started up, it's stuck on white screen (where the blue, windows mobile screen should be). ActiveSync cannot see the phone at all.
I've read the post: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I've put it into bootloader menu (SPL 1.09) and connecting the USB cable changes "serial" to "USB"
Windows XP finds "HTC USB Sync" device and ActiveSync's wheels start turning.
A few seconds later, ActiveSync stops wokring, saying the device can't connect.
All I want is to recover my SMSs, the rest I don't care.
Is there a way to connect to the phone's files in 'HTC USB Sync' (bootloader) mode??
*crosses fingers*please say yes, please say yes*
All the best,
Dax.
i have the same problem!
I managed to upgrade to 1.09 while stuck in this white screen... is there any fix to the white screen?
The other forum post didnt work, tried the battery off for 20mins, the usb plugged in with no battery (phone doesnt even turn on this way)
none work
please help you brainy guys
Have you tried to flash from SD card... There is a guide i WIKI.
yeah, I had to hard reset and lose my data
i also have the white screen. it just died one day, at the time i didnt even know about roms and i'd never heard of this site.
any help getting it mended would be well appreciated.
Hi Toppy,
Try pulling battery out, other than that, only thing to do is a hard reset.
Sorry
Details for a hard-reset should be easy to find on this board.
Great reason to backup frequently.
(I use PIMBackup 2.5 everynight at 4am and sbp backup twice a week at 4:30am)
a blank screen
heyy guys i have the same problem with my screen, i bought a new one in ebay, after installed the new screen, i turned on the phone, the screen works fine, but when i turned off the phone and change the sim card, then when i turned on the phone again the screen was in blank!!!
guys if you can help my please i will aprecite it!!! i cant live without a touch screen
Creation magic,
Did you follow my suggestions?
My phone gives me white screen every now and then when I reset it. I simply reset again and it's fine.
Seems to occur more frequently the longer I leave the phone without total formatting. (It's Windows - it needs ocassional formatting)
about my white screen
when i turn off the phone and turn on again my screen appears in blank but when i did a hard reset my screen works fine!! i don't really understand my htc 8525 hahaha he is crazy and the call button and end call button doesn't work.
thanks
thanks guys for help me and everyone here in this forum!!!
you're a real brainy guys

Dead jamin

Hello all,
I have recently killed my Jamin. Im not sure whether it is permanent or not. Personally it looks like a rom failure with the video bois, but I am far from experienced with windows mobile#.
I have searched the forum and can not find anything similar.
(Story)
To cut a long story short, I picked up my Jamin while it was connected to my pc. Catching a gimps of WM5 and the battery fell out (while still connected to my vista pc). So it turns off and I put the battery back in and turned it back on.
(What does work)
This is kind of hard to explain, but from what gather, everything seems to be running fine except the screen. Basically it still syncs up (can access files) and the Bluetooth led turns on after a minutes or how ever long it takes
(Problem)
The problem is that the screen is doing something weird (This is the hard part to explain). I do not get anything out of it even the "htc" pic at the start.
It has these blue horizontal lines about a pixel wide running down the screen. They change like the screen is trying to display different things but it is as if it does not know how to use the screen.
Im thinking re-install the rom? But I do not want to make things harder for myself if I am wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tryed Flashing.
Well If anyone is interested, I tried Re flashing and I still get the same problem. My next PDA will not be an Imate, too many problems.

Touch screen problem again
I have the same issue too, after hard-resetting the pda (HTC P4350) it is stuck on green screen with message " tap the screen to set up your windows mobile based device". The problem is touch screen of it is not working for quite a long time and because of this i have been using another p4350, but i think i am so careless and after dropping the second one into the water (it stayed only 3-4 seconds) its usb syncronization stopped to work, it can be charged but no data connection through usb cable (i have checked 3-4 different usb cables). Now i have a lot of information saved in the second one and i need to sync it with pc without using usb cable. I have planned to substitute pim.vol file of the first one with the second, then i will connect the first one to usb and finally sync. But this green screen really make me dissappointed.
Can anyone help me on this matter.
Thank you for all (at least for reading my problem)
