if i do an rom update do i have to re-calibrate the screen on first start up, as my screen does not work where the arrow wants me to press under stock rom (it just keeps on looping the test) think there is an small dead zone on my screen right of my screen right where the arrows are where need to press (top right arrow norm does not respond when pressed unless i hold the arrow for 2-3 secs all the other arrows respond right away)
i have never done an rom upgrade or hard reset this phone in like 1 year or so (guess dropping it did that at some point doing something to the screen)
do not want the phone to become not locked out if the update does an align that i cant skip

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

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
Hi friends..
I have a very strange problem which cropped up yesterday night, we guys had gone for a movie and my phone was in my pocket only, then coming back it started to rain and i still didn't take it out, but after i took it out in room i saw suddenly the screen going blank and so many white and blue lines started coming and it started flickering very badly! finally the display got mirror inverted! it still responds to touches at the right places but the display which i get is upside down and mirrored so can't read a thing!
i think some how a water droplet had gone inside and did something, i took out the battery and dried it under the fan too but still no change, now when i keep it on stand by and resume by short pressing power button for a second the proper screen comes and then it inverts again! please help me out if you've encountered such situation before..
i know we can turn the display upside down but this one is mirrored too, and it all happened after the screen flicker..
hav tried hard resetting ur mobile
Some Sony Ericsson mobiles had a similar problem, only way to repair it was display replacement.
How to Hard Reset?
hi friends, i read on another forums too that hardresetting is one way, so i turned the phone off
removed the battery for 5-10 seconds
replaced the battery
pressed the green and red buttons which are on the left and right of d pad
together i pressed the reset button which is to right of the usb socket,
and nothing happened! i kept pressing it for 10 seconds, and no screen popped up, when i removed the buttons it just restarted, without any screen showing that a hard reset has been desired and no change had happened..
Am i hard resetting it the right way?
ur mobile shouldnt be off while doing the above steps. After doing tat ur mobile will restart showing an warning press the action key and continue.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Device must be off. Hold red button, green button and reset. If it doesn't work, press Power. After a while white letters on black screen should appear, then press d-pad and wait about 5 minutes. You'll see a new message for a moment and Windows Mobile will start.
No change after hard reset
hi friends, i got a video on youtube demonstrating me how to do a hard reset, i did it and got the warning message too and it got reset, restoring the original settings. Still the screen remains it's own inverted self!
Any suggestions what can i do next? what can actually the problem be?
i'm taking it for service centre tomorrow. Wish me luck any ways
When I'm doing anything on my TMO HTC TP2 And it goes into sleep mode (i.e. the top power button) and i turn the screen on it goes to the main screen not where i was previously. this is highly annoying especially when i'm typing a long message and hit the top power button by accident and i turn it back on and the message is gone and it flips the screen to Main screen, and i would appreciate it if someone could tell me whats wrong because i swear that this never happened when i first got it
So recently i start flashing and using langthang's MIUI roms and keeping update and flashing all his new release rom. so couple day ago all of the sudden, i don' know what causes it and how it started it. my red button on far right. pressing it turn on and off the screen.so now when i press it to make the screen go back on from off mode. after i pressed the button the screen light turn on and the lock screen is there but when i touch the screen and try to move the ring(pyramid lockscreen) up to unlock, but the ring is not moving, it like there is no touch screen ability to my phone's screen.
but when i use the green button far left, the button usually to use phone. that button doesnt turn off the screen but it just turn on the screen, this button is working normally. i can move the ring up to enter the main screen.
the screen isnt cracked or any thing, but i do have a protection layer over it which been there since i got the phone and never got this problem before.
what do you guys think my problem is and how can i solve it?
thank you!
I am attempting top install a zip from the sd card and when I click on that option it is going to the screen with the circle and the top hat and just sitting there.
THis is my first ROM on my HD2. How long should it take before clicking over to the zip files so I can open. It hangs for 5 minutes with no activity.
Pressing the wrong button. You are pressing end, which takes you to top hat (or up one level from sub menus)
Try pressing send instead.
Send - select
end - up one level, or top hat if already at top level.
I am pressing the green button and it goes to the circle with the tophat and just hangs there. It was stuck there last night while I slept, a good 6 hours.
Any other suggestions?
May be something wrong with your hardware buttons - when you press green also being pressed next button, two button pressed simultaneously?
