BETTER STATED ISSUE:
My MDA wont go into the tricolor screen. When it tries to do it, it just turns off. I then have to pull out the battery and put it back in for it to work again. How can I fix this? I want to try a different ROM. Thanks in advance.

Power off the phone completely,then press and keep holding down the camera button and at the same time Power On the phone,you have to keep pressing and holding down the camera button while Power on the phone,release it after it wakes up,hope this'll do the trick.
Cheers

[Q] [ask] my HTC touch wouldn't weak up after update ROM

Hi there, i am newbie. and i think i have read a lot of here to effort to revive my device.
The device wouldn't weak up again after upgrading ROM to winmo 6.5. during ROM updating, the progress was not shown on the device, and suddently reported that updating failed. Since then i can not effort to do run on bootloader mode, even i follow to press volume down + soft reset.
can anyone help me, please.
Tx.

There are many ways to enter the bootloader (from the wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Elf.png):
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
-An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
=Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
Good luck!

[Q] Hard Reset Instructions Needed (No Display Available)

If someone could post detailed instructions on how to hard reset (via vol up/dwn/power buttons) the surround it would be much appreciated.
What I am looking for specifically is were the instructions say "Follow the instructions on screen"
My display is not working but I would like to hard reset it to c if that will help or at least get all my personal stuff off before i send it back.

I used Windows Live "Find My Phone" to Hard Reset it also I believe you can do it from Zune also.

1. Turn off or pull the battery/replace battery.
2. Hold both volume up and volume down keys
3. Press the power on button and continue to hold vol up/down keys for about 10 seconds past the vibration.
4. Press volume down once more to erase.
It should reboot on its own after that, but if not pull the battery again and reboot. The reset process only takes a few seconds at most once you press volume down, so if you don't see any screen after that assume its dead and wiped. Good luck.

Thanks for that post man, I know someone that just got the HTC Surround yesterday and I know I will be the one to do any tweaking or moding to it. This kind of info is just what I come to these forums to find. Got to love XDA.

[Q] HSPL doesn't work

Hi!
I have an Htc Hd2 and years ago i saw the DFT Nand android, and i installed it... The HSPL, the aMAGLDR... I installed the android using the aMAGLDR usb flasher... Some months ago the screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and after that i decided to install the Windows Mobile 6.5, the original rom but... To install the WM6.5 i have to do volume down + power, to go to that color screen and when it says usb just run the rom.. the problem is that when i press volume down + power the color screen does not show, it just goes to the aMAGLDR.. I checked my volume rockers and they work fine...
And with the android rom installed i can not reinstall the HSPL.
please, help me.

just hold volume down and plug usb while holding it (or to charger) and bootloader should appear

Hi, Gilbert32!
Thank you for your reply but unfortunately didn't help. That colorful screen still doesn't show up.
I don't know if it is related but, my screen had to be replaced, i did it myself and i can't get the colorful screen anymore since then...
My phone buttons are all working fine and the volume rockers are good too... I don't know what happened!
Any other sugestion would be welcomed.
and thank you.
and sorry for my english... I am from Portugal!

well, try holding volume down and just press power button, like if you'r going to lock the screen. only a simple press, no need to keep holding the power button

Once again, thank you for your time!
I've tried that before and tried it now again and it just does the same thing.. it's like i don't press the volume down, it just loads the android rom... and if i hold the power button with the volume down it goes to the MAGLDR, where is the "usb flasher" and the other options..
whatever i do holding the volume down it's like i'm not holding it, it's like it doesn't work.. but in the rom itself i can up and down the volume and in the MAGLDR i can go up and down through the options with no problem.. so i guess there is no problem with my volume controller.
thank you!

[Q] Tough Situation HD2

Short Question:
basically i have a hd2 that has a broken power/end call button ,and no volume rocker at all , would it be possible to install android or updated WP on this phone without those buttons ?
Long Question:
from experience to go into a bootloader or some sort i would need to do a button combination , unless i can get into bootloader or recovery through the OS , i currently have a totally stock hd2 running on WP version - who gives a damn , i got this phone for free as-is and i was thinking of putting maybe gingerbread on this phone , if its possible to proceed without the buttons can i get some links or redirections ? also if its impossible to continue without the volume rocker or power button for android , how about an upgrade to wp 7 ? any type of upgrade would help this phone , thanks in advance
for the curious people i let the phone sit intill the screen locks , and to unlock it i just click any button , to power the phone on i do the method where you plug a usb first and then put in the battery , and for volume control i go into the menu and adjust the settings

i have seen people with this situation and helped them. so i'm gonna make a tutorial for everyone.
also with your conditions, installing wp would not work, as you need power button to enter bootloader.
regarding android, it could be hard for you, as volume buttons don't work, changing volumes should be hard. and so is locking the screen, but if you have a working proximity sensor, it should be easier.
Edit: started writing tutorial, should continue tomorrow
