I think i broke my phone. I installed some keyboard layout .cab and i soft reset. Now it cant go past the screen where you see the IPL/SPL info and other numbers, and after time when it dims you can only see it in strong light. My PC doesnt recognize it anymore when i plug it in. Please, help much appreciated.
edit (heart attack over): for those who are having the same problem heres what worked for me: make sure the phone is shut off, then hold communications and voice buttons and while you hold them press powerup button for a sec. Keep holding those 2 buttons untill a messege appears, then press the Answer key
I can not describe how much you helped me, thank you very much!
Thanks!
Yes, thanks - i did the exact same thing ... installed a "New WM Keyboard CAB" and it never went beyond the IPL/SPL slash screen. I was worried for a bit!
Thanks again!

hi i recently switched on my phone witch worked perfectly ok before i switched it of and left it with my brother.........now when i switch it on and after a bit of fiddleing with the buttons i cant get it to boot up. all it will say is
"Wallaby
bootloader
v5.15 "
when switched on.
When i hit the contact button up the top right hand side
it displays a white screen which has "utilities" on it
When i hit the notes button up the top left hand side
it displays a white screen which has "Flash tools" on it
then it freezes
Whats wrong with it
[/b]
Normaly you enter the bootloader by pressing the power button and sticking in the little hole on the other site than the headset (soft reset).
Since your just pressing the power button, i would say the problem is the soft reset button. Lokks like it doesnt release correctly try sticking in the hole and get it off....
HTH

thats exactly what i am doing stephan...to get it back up to the bootloader........now how do i gat it back to an operational using device.......i have read as much on here about how i need to flash the rom..........and i have an sd card.........unfortunatly for me i never did a back up or did something wrong with it..........can i buy a sd card with it on it or will someone elses not do
Cheers
It sounds as if the soft reset switch is jammed in, try operating it/jiggling with stylus a few times or maybe a tiny aquirt of switch gear or wd 40.
found out from him that he was goimg to surprse..........that he did his surprise was to upgrade it for me, so he had tried to do this......i think he has overwritten the rom....can this be,,,,,,and if so how do i get this fixed
Hello.
I have a T-mobile Mda and yesterday it began to do wacky things:
When I press the power button to wake the device from sleep, the phone volume balloon pops up and all the indicators go down. As if somone is holding the "down" button and not letting it go. When I manually change the volume, it goes back down again. When I press "start menu" it shows up for a second and then disappears. It seems as if the buttons are stuck, but they can't be. I did not drop the phone nor there was any physical damage done to it.
When I press the big "select" button the problem seems to go away, but resurfaces when the device goes to sleep and then back from sleep.
What could possibly cause this and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Since this just begun happening, it sounds like recent software you installed is corrupted and causing this. If you did install software just prior to this, uninstall the software then power off and on your device.
im having the same problem with my volume control going haywire, and random letters being displayed on the screen. but this happened after, which i now realize was an incomplete upgrade crossbow cause my device was cid-locked. i followed the "g4 hard spl (cid unlock)" topic, then upgarded to the "touch" rom, but i still get the same problem. any insights?
'Do a Hard Reset' of the phone,although you'll loose all your personal data,contacts messages etc...,but phone will reset to default settings and erase all corruptions,otherwise do a reflash.
Cheers !
i tried doing a "hard reset" but it wont work. the screen says to push the 'send' button, but when i do the button doesn't respond. so i tried a reflash but im still getting the same problems. do i need to reflash to an older rom, then upgrade again? if so, where can i get an older rom version, or perhaps the qtek 9100 original rom?
so i undid the hard spl lock, and reflashed my phone with the vodaphone qtek 9100 rom package. everything seems fine when the battery is full, but as the battery power goes down the problems become more frequent. the phone thinks buttons are being pressed, ala the lights on the keys are on, the volume constantly goes up and down, contacts open. can anyone help me? i dont know what left to do
Me too, it is if the down button is being held down.
need to bumps this thread. really need some help to fix this. its really frustrating me
two weeks and still no progress
someone? anyone? guide me and any others who are having this problem in the right direction. dont want to give up this phone, i really like it.
Same problem over here
Is you’re problem fixed or still the same... My phone is doing exactly the same.
my phone is still not working properly. cant find any solutions
Hey guys
I recently installed phone pad international on my phone. It worked fine at first then for some reason the T9 wouldn't spell english words correctly. I decided to remove Phone pad from the program menu
When I did it asked if I would like to reset, which I said yes. when the phone tried to re boot it got stuck on a white screen which I can't get passed.
I have tried to do a hard reset in each of the following ways:
Hold power & reset together - but this doesn't work
Press Power & camera together which just gets me to the boot loader but with no prompts to take me further.
I would be most grateful if anyone could suggest a solution
(the only other thing that springs to mind is perhaps loading a new ROM but i'm not sure how to do that either)
Thanks guys!
This is hard reset:
hold both softkey buttons, and use the stylus to press the 'Reset' button on the bottom.
Bye
hey that was quick, thanks!
which buttons are the soft keys?

Have you tried restarting the phone? Press and hold the powerbutten (if it works), and answer Yes to the question about shutting down. Take out your battery for 10 seconds, put it back in and fire up your phone... It might help

Hehe, can't answer that. I've had the problem only like twice in three months, so for me it's not a problem... I guess it's a software problem. Remember, it's not a Nokia The inside so much more complicated, so I guess we just have to live with some bugs...
Are you guys sure that this is a hardware related problem? I have the same prob and i was quite sure that i f**ked up the capacitative panel by playing kevtris manickly for quite a long time.
The capacitative screen is comprised by two parts folded.
I have opened the diamond and i found out that there is a lietle piece of metal that binds them together. This was bent(from kevtris probably) so istraightened it out with my bear hands. But it did not fix the problem. Do not try it anyway. Too messy if you have two left hands like me.
Have you ever seen a calibrator for the capacitative screen?
had the same problem only the power button would work , hard reset fixed it.
Have u installed S2U2..try uninstalling it...or install latest version 1.68 of S2U2
hi guys!
long time with no post from me but today the stupid thing (HD) did it again
i installed an app for home page tweaking and after the soft reset my HD dosen't starts right
it boots, does what it does but it sucks on the black screen with some icons on the top bar and the names of the soft keys on the bottom bar. i can only turn ona anf off the screen by pressing the power button, but nothing else. screen doesn't react, soft keys don't react either
i don't realy want to hard reset it because it took few months to make it working right, but i would do also this if there is no other solution
BUT...
when i try to hard reset it it stucked again in the tricolour mode with "SERIAL" word on the botom
what is this? i can't write anything so what is this serial all about?
so, please let me know if there is any solution for:
1. step by step booting in order to skip the process or application that cause the stuck?
2. how can i hard reset the thinggie?
thanks a lot!
Had the same problem after I installed HTC home and HTC customizer...after a soft reset, TF3D failed to load and the phone froze. Had to hard reset in the end--thankfully, I run a backup once a week, so I really didn't lose anything. I was able to run 'Clear Storage' before TF3D's startup fail managed to freeze my phone. So it's all good on my end...
Backup backup backup...a little too late...
Maybe you are not doing the hard reset correctly, you press and hold both Vol up & Vol down keys, whilst holding down power button aswell until it turns on. Hard reset screen should come up.

Sounds like a software issue Hard Reset sounds best
What you are seeing (Tri Coloured Screen) is the boot loader it probably showed up because you didnt hold the volume up key when doing Hard Reset
its not a problem just remove battery
then do hard reset (make sure both volume buttons UP/Down are press at the same time and press power button ..........follow what the screen says
thank you guys for your opinions
i know how to do a hard reset (cause is not the first one) and i tryed severl times before i post my request here
finaly i manage to do an "upgrade" using USB connection from my rom version to the same rom version. strange but this is what i did, and then i was able to do the hard reset in the usual manner
now i am working hard to restore all applications andtweaks that i had
luckily i use often backup and i still have contacts and personal infos
