i got mt hd today and i upgraded the rom to the newversion from the htc website
now wehn the phone boots it does so with a blurry screen untill you turn the screen on and off
but also it keeps crashing and i mean all the time.
since i have installed the new rom update i cannot get anywhere on the phon wit out it crashing on me
also doing a hard resent to upgrade a rom will that remove any sim unlock you had as my phone was lock to orange but had been unlocked
Hi end.
The blurry screen and crashing sounds like you need to get in touch with HTC and ask them about it. You can pretty much guarantee that you're not the only user that has had the problem.
As far as the unlocked state goes, installing new ROMs won't change that at all. Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked.
Hope this helps.

i got my mda compact last week and updated the rom to an imate jam rom the first day i got it.
now since then i have had to do several hard resets because after so long whenever i press the power button to turn the screen on, the screen is completely white and i cant see anything else except this.
Is this a known problem or does anyone know what to do to sort this problem as its getting a tad annoying having to hard reset almost every day!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

May i ask why you upgraded it the day you got it? I also have the MDA Compact and i still run version 1.01 P) because i don't have any problems with it.
Did you just blindly update or did you have problems before updating?
the reason i upgraded the rom was that i wanted rid of all the t mobile stuff as i use o2 mate.
the only other stuff i installed on it a game called s tris, pocket painter and tcpmp player, not sure if either of those could have anything to do with this.
Any ideas mate?

Did you unlock the sim?
And are you aware that you can actually remove all Tmobile junk pretty easily without having to upgrade?
it was already unlocked by the person i got it from.
yeah i was but i just thought it would be quicker and better if i just changed the rom.
i just downloaded the newest mda compact rom. do you recommend i go back to that one and get rid of the t mobile stuff manually?
oh and have you ever heard of this white screen problem that im having?

I think it is a better idea to go back to the original 1.1 ROM. I removed all T-mobile crap with the push of a button.
You have to hardreset the device, when you get to the today screen immediatly softreset the device and voila. No more T-Mobile crap.
When you get to the today screen for the first time after a hardreset the device is programmed to install all Extended ROM files (which include the TMobile crap).
Simple as that .
cheers mate.
what should i install from the extended rom folder without the risk of installing any t mobile nonsense?!
i thinkive just about figured out what to install but i cant seem to get the smart dialler function without installing the t mobile skin over the phone function :?
If you go to the XDA devs ftp in the magician extended rom folder, grab the smart dialler from the Jam extended rom. I don't necessarily agree with reverting back the rom but if it fixes it, great.
If you want a completely unbranded rom, go for the I-mate WWE versions of the rom. I haven't had a single problem with any up til 1.11 (I haven't tried 1.12 as I have no need to go any higher)
im looking in the shipped roms folder now, is there any WWE 1.11 one that you would recommend? its just there is so many and ive had this white screen problem with every rom ive tried i want to make sure i choose the correct one!
Well if it happens with every rom you've tried then I'd say the problem must be hardware related. If a rom upgrade, downgrade, or anything doesn't fix the issue then it has to be the one thing that hasn't changed, your hardware. My recommendation is put the original rom back on and get it looked at under warranty, unless someone else can offer another explanation.
The latest rom I've installed and still on my phone is the Anansky BigStorage rom. I haven't needed to change that for months, although I've played with all the I-mate roms up to 1.11. The only change I've made since then is the 1.13 radio upgrade.
ok ive went back to the mda compact rom (one i downloaded from a link on this site, not the ftp)
got rid of the t mobile stuff as explained earlier and changed the splash screens too with a cab file.
fingers crossed so far so good!
im terrified to turn the display back on after it goes off now though! and a bit apprehensive of installing anything after the last few days ive had!
guys i posted earlier today that that my phone kept switching off, i thought i fixed it but now its switched off and will not come back on! ive tried charging it but doesnt seem to have any affect, i want to send back to HTC but im using a custom rom, and as it doesnt switch on i can not flash a stock rom, so my warranties gone down the drain, any1 got any ideas? i was thinking off buying a new battery but i doubt thats the problem as it would have work when i put it on charge
guys if i manage to get the phone on what stock rom/radio do i flash? im in the uk with tmbile
same here but..
i have been using htc touch hd since last February (ard) and its not that long time but my touch hd is showing problems like its dead quite often i cant see anything in my screen (but i can hear vibration on calls)and it only works once i reset i even tried factory restore but doesn't work. its same and if its problem of any other third party software i have only spb mobile shell, and skyfire.
can i know what is solution for me if i get replacement from htc. its really ridiculous to have such a product which doesnot even work for half a year.
Leave the battery out for a couple of days, and see if it can start up after that. If not, then the chances are that HTC will not see the custom rom as they will replace the main board (that is what they did for me).
In future, use USPL as this gives the fastest and easiest way to get back to a stock rom. It means that you can just install the stock rom without having th flash back to the stock SPL and can be done easily if your screen breaks.
If you can flash your device, flash it with the latest ROM from HTC if it was non branded. If you have Hard SPL, you will have to flash that back as well.
It appears that this problem is becomming more widespread - it has happened to me plus a few others.......... therefore i guess HTC will be aware of this issue.
i hade the same problem as you. And i had duttys 3.4. I had no problem whit the warranties.
If you can't even get phone to start, chances are its a motherboard problem and likelyhood is that HTC will just replace motherboard without evenm looking at whats installed on device. Others have had same problem and they had no problems. However I CANNOT stand by this 100%. It will be a risk!!
thanks guys the phone wont start so im hoping they will just fix the mother board and send it back and hopefully that will be the end of it, ill keep you guys updated they are picking it up in the morning
Hi guys, I am new to the HTC world .
I bought a Vodafone branded HTC Magic two weeks ago, but I had problems almost immediately. In practice, my screen goes mad and acts as if I touch randomly on the lower part of the screen itself. In order to get it back to work properly I have to turn it off and then on again, sometimes more than one time. Do you think it is a screen defect or it has something to do with the ROM?
I have hard resetted it but nothing changes (the ROM is not cooked, it is just the Vodafone one).
Thanks
Hi,
evene if I didn't get answers, I bump this topic because, after I sent my Vodafone Magic to HTC and they gave me a new one, I have the same problem.
Someone says that this problem is caused by a software incompatiblility with the SIMs from the Wind Italian operator, but I also tried with another SIM and I got the same problem (even if minor than with Wind).
Is it possible that no one had this problem?
I tried ROMs, patches, kernels, but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance
OK, here what's the deal: a few days ago I cracked the screen, so I bought a new one and replaced it. BUT, now the phone does not recognize it and the screen doesn't turn on at all. The phone boots and it's working fine, I can recieve calls normaly, but the screen is dead. ALSO, the volume keys stoped functioning...
Any ideas please? I'm getting kinda desperate here...
Tnx
You probably messed up somwhere in your wiring. Open it back up and make sure everything is intact. Check out some guides online to make sure everything is in the proper place.
Allready done that, everything is in place...I do have a cooked ROM thought I can't remember which since my screen is not working, obiveously...Could it be tha I nedd to switch back an original ROM for it to be able to recognize the new hardware??? And is there an app that would allow me to monitor phones activity over PC???
No, A cooked rom wont affect a screen replacement in anyway.
I repaired mine while KWBR's Topix 6.5 was on the handset, infact Ive never had this handset on a stock rom, so it wont make a difference or help you.
Did you buy your Screen and Digitizer factory pre-assembled, the small price difference compared to buying the part standalone is worth every cent in preventing these sorts of after repair problems.
I have had touch HD for sometime. It was working perfectly until 3-4 days ago, when I could not receive a call. I could hear it ringing but could not slide to accept the call. (I was using stock rom HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_radio_52.64.25.34U_1.14.25.24 with Pocketshield screen locker).
Over the weekend, I have tried whatever has been suggested in this forum.
I have used task29 and now I am running Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Sense_2.1_Holy_Grail_R0. Before this, I retried the stock rom I was using before. BTW, I have flashed it only twice in one year since I bought this phone.
Now the problem I am having at present is that my phone seems to boot up at normal speed (It was very very slow before using task29), but once it has booted, I cannot access any of its functions. It receives calls and text messages, but I cannot take any call or read messages. The volume button still works. If the screen has gone dim after a few seconds and I touch it, it lights up again, but other than that, I cannot do anything with its screen.
So all the tech guys out there, I have this question: whether my phone can be saved or not? Is there problem only with screen or is the motherboard faulty?
Thank you all for reading this post and any potential repliers.
When you flashed rom, did you follow this guide and use either USPL or HSPL?
Thank you Fallen Spartan.
I had followed every step religiously to flash rom.
I had read somewhere in this forum that the manufacturer warranty was for 27 months on HTC touch HD.
So I thought of writing to HTC support with all the details.
Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed by HTC under warranty.
I have flashed it back to orange uk rom but I am concerned about only one thing. I do not remember what was the stock SPL on this phone (Orange UK provider). Was it 1.3 or 1.4.
If they find out that it was flashed, I guess they will not repair it under warranty.
Any body who knows / remembers please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
