so i had reset my phone and i had installed the Registry Wizard and such. i turn the phone on and the cingular splash screen comes up and says 2.25 and all that good stuff. then it goes to a white screen. the status lights blink and the screen is responsive as well as the buttons. but all i see is white screen. if i call the phone, the white screen comes up with no sound. ive tried to reset it many times as well, battry out and all that too.
any ideas?
i used an MDA reset thingy i found on this site. it worked. got it to 4 colors and flashing it now. what a pain in the ass.

Which method was successful for you. I have tried virtually everything I have found on this board and still nothing but a white screen. Please help.
Thanks.
I installed the Registry Wizard tonight and the exact same thing happened to me.
When I connect the phone to my PC, it's not recognized so I can't delete the program that way.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Ok, Ive got a new problem with my XDA Exec.
Opened it up and tryied to turn on the backlight and nothing. tried a soft reset, nothingtried a hard reset now it just sticks on the splash screen, the red writing comes up on the right and side and just hangs there forever!
Please help
You're stuck. apparently the only remedy is turning it in to repair. For most of us it is under warranty.
Just off the phone to 02. Theres sending me a new one via courier on monday. it's less than a day old.
Is this a comon fault with the Exec?
erm ... I managed to experience this problem.
I was trying to uninstall SPB GPRS thingy that comes with the O2 package, and it just wouldn't go. I ended up deleting the program files and getting an error when it started up, so I deleted the GPRSNotify file under Startup. It never worked again ...
I got the splash screen, tried soft and hard resetting and various permutations (including standing on one leg and while holding breath) ... nothing. Did try to install fresh ROM, but startup wouldn't get far enough to let PC load ROM over USB.
Ended up contacting O2 who sent me a nice shiny new one, as it was only three weeks old. This time I haven't installed GPRS monitor thingy, and I don't intend to fiddle with it again ... or at least until I've forgotten my lesson ...
Sorry i ment to give you guys an update on this. I did manage to get it working again, although i still accepted the new one the sent to me.
What i did was installed a new rom off the 02 website. at 1st the computer couldnt see the phone so wot i did was enter what i think was the programming side of the phone. i found the instructions on how to this on the net. i think i pressed the 2 soft keys and the light switch while pressing the reset switch with the stylus (i think that was the buttons but unsure as i cant find the page again) when the screen light up again there was some faint writing on the screen with the word serial or usb. Double clicked on the rom file and 30mins later my phone was revived.
Funny it was the gprs monitor that i too installed before the phone screwed up? ive since installed it again on the new phone and have had no problems with it since.

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!
Hi,
Does anyone know why my screen just suddenly goes white?
It started when i heard someone called me. I looked at the screen and it was totally white. Pressing buttons didn't do anything. I tried soft + hard reset but the fone was still like that.
Has anyone got this problem before?

i haven't had the problem but it would be helpful if we knew what kind of a phone and rom you have
my fone is cingular 8525, and I have no idea what kinda rom I have. I only unlocked it with the software available here, and still haven't had time to play with other stuff yet.
oh, and i don't think the front buttons work, btw, so when i said i hard reseted it, i was wrong.
it also seems like this problem:

Don't you think? Now I'll have to buy some tools to open this baby up. Does anyone know where I can get the right tools?
It's always best to start at the beginning. Go HERE to a page that I created for new members that has links to EVERYTHING you may need to know about fixing your phone, flashing ROMS and Radios, etc.
Best wishes,
I just fixed it i just fixed it ). I don't think the light sensor for the keyboard work anymore thou, but screw that, the phone works ).
BIG BIG THANKS to "ALKIZMO" and his post:

I just got a Qtek 9000 which only shows a white screen. Initially it was completely dead, and only showed a red light when I connected it to a charger. But after reading for a while on the internet, I managed to flash an original rom onto the phone. But the screen is just white when I power it on. The phone seems to be in working order, because after about 30-40 seconds after I've powered it on, I get the "beep sound" (that comes after installing a new rom onto the phone and you're supposed to calibrate the screen etc)
I've tried flashing the rom again, but the screen still stays white.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Do I need a new screen?

Before you buy a new screen try to READ the Wiki, perhaps you can find a solution there
Good luck
I can't find anything anout it on wikipedia. Any other suggestions?
Well, I think I have narrowed it down to one of three possible things that can be causing the fault. I've disassembled the phone and tried powering it up with only the screen connected and I've disconnected all other ui modules and speakers and mic.
Still the screen stays white, so I think the problem must either be with the screen, the flex cable that runs between the two "pieces" of the phone, or the ui module that connects the screen and the flex cable.
So does anyone know where I can get these, or some of these parts cheap? New or used, or perhapse someone's got a faulty phone they'd like to sell?

It´s not on Wikypedia, I said The Wiki here on XDA Devs:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Good luck
Thanks, but I can't find anything about it there either.
im not sure if its related but i upgraded my phone to windows mobile 6.5 a few weeks ago. (not sure exactly which but can find out if needed) I used oliprio spl 2.4.
everthing was working fine other than the usual bugs with custom roms but today when i woke up i tried to turn my phone on and it wouldnt start. i soft reset it and it seemed to be starting up fine until it got past the windows mobile 6.5 screen. it then went to a blank white screen. I tried soft reseting a few more times but no luck. I hard reset it after that but the same thing happened.
I tried re flashing the same rom and the 6.1 rom from htc but it wouldnt even find the phone. i tried putting a new spl on it but it wouldnt work either. ive tried flashing on the blank white screen and in the boot loader. The touch screen still sorta works. backlight comes on if i touch the screen but if i hold the power button the screen to power off comes on but cant be used
I feel like i"ve tried everything but nothing seems to get me anywhere closer to fixing it. If anyone needs more information to help me just ask. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
hmmmmm, couldn't find much

there are seriously A LOT of posts on this subject as it covers a lot of different cell phone and carriers. I posted my search link at the bottom of the links so you can see them
Seems to either be a bad flash, screen or something on the board
Good luck, hopefully it's software related
