Hi
This is just a warning.
I have used Battery Pack Pro on 2-3 different devices over the past few years and installed (supposedly WM5 compatible version) on my K-JAM.
It totally banjaxed it.
The K-JAM would freeze or just become extremely slow and unresponsive and totally unusable.
S I removed BPP and it destroyed the 'buttons'.
Every time I pressed one of the hardware buttons I got an error message.
Had to do a hard reset to restore functionality.
SO I thought I would warn other people.
Robin
PS This was version 2 or possibly 2.1.
Yes this could be true! I had to do several hard resets earlier on on my xda2 running buzzmobile 2K5 in addition to sluggishness, untill I dumped BPP. Now on wizzard I will not install it.

Thanks.
I have got same problem on wizard. Got too much to loose to hard reset at this time. but works fine and faster after removing battery pack pro.
I solved the Buttons problem after deinstalling BPP with a simple reassign of the buttons (start -> settings -> buttons). This was a W2003 device, but maybe it helps.
regards, M
Sorry for writing in the Wizard thread but I installed the WM5 compatible version of battery pack pro on my i-mate Jasjar. With this installed I could not save Planmaker Files to my storage card or the main memory. Pressing the save button simply resulted in no action. Removing BPP solved the problem. Planmaker is just too important for me so I have axed BPP in favour of Planmaker. I am now back to the tried and trusted SPB Pocket Plus
Kind Regards
I hope someone here can help me...
I've noticed a recent quirk about my Wizard that I can't seem to get to the root of. Whenever my phone is opened (keyboard extended), The touch screen refuses to respond...I might be able to use it like once in 10 uses, but for the most part, when the keyboard is out, the touchscreen doesn't work.
Now I thought it was a loose connection, so I took the phone apart and checked (and double checked) every connection between the main board and the LCM, they all appear solid. However, upon rebuilding the phone and booting it up, I found that the touch screen still refuses to work in the keyboard-out position...
Although not a deal breaker (my Wizard is still extremely usable and I love this phone), it is an annoyance I'd like to fix...
If it helps, This is the ROM info for the phone in question:
Windows Mobile 6.1 (Build 19213.1.0.4) TNT
Rom Version: 11.0.3.0 WWE (again, a TNT build)
Radio Version: 2.19.11
ExtROM version: TNT Series by it's right
IPL : 2.21.0001
SPL: 2.21.Olip
I don't think changing ROMs will work, as this looks like a hardware problem to me. So, is there help to be had, or am I doomed to a touchless keyboard experience?
if you use a script/program to rotate the screen without the keyboard pulled out does the touchscreen still disable? If so it's more than likely a problem with the screen and not a cable/connection (although i would DEFINITELY reflash the same/a different rom as a test before I bought/installed a new screen).
Ah - thats what I forgot to mention.
I do have a script installed to induce landscape mode without the keyboard, and in such a configuration the touchscreen does in fact still work. It is only when the keyboard is out that the touchscreen refuses to work.
I've been meaning to upgrade to the newest TNT Rom, but haven't due to time/life constraints, but I'll make the preparations to upload a new rom and see if that fixes the problem...who knows, I'd prefer a cheap but ambiguous answer to an expensive but simple answer...
Dear who reads this ,
Using i-mate K-Jam G3 Unlocked (never locked)
SPL 2.16
official final i-mate k-jam rom and radio (Arabic Rom)
my wizard have been giving me a headache ever since i bought it , the problem is seriously that i cant identify nore overcome the following error ...
If screen was fully pressed for over 30 seconds (example in pocket or in cover and yes the screen is off then!) the device hangs. so i am litteraly living with a device that needs to breath!
lately i changed to the WWE version of the rom and to my surprise the problem disappeared only to a different kind of problem ... the device freezes if i had vibration on and recieved a call that i didnt pick up in 10 seconds.
so an unofficial service center (no official ones near) could not diagnose the erlier error but thought it might be a buffer issue related to rom (despite i tried to reproduce the problem on a friend's device but faild).
yet they managed to refaire the new problem (vibration causing a freeze) in WWE upgrade to faulty battery that loses connectivity apon the shake (when i reinstalled Arabic version the problem was solved so i guess that too is not the case!)
now i managed to upgrade to unofficial roms but what i hated the most were taking the transcriber application out (which i heavily rely on!) , keyboard issues (both arabic and english) or tried to apply HTC touch flo mechanism which is buggy compared to spb-plus' (which i prefaire) and would prevent it (spb-plus that is) from working.
now if anyone could just diagnose my problem with the Arabic rom screen issue ? or even note me if i realy need to change the batteries (they try to convince me that the type has been legacied and they wanna sell it to me for a fortune) ? or that i have a faulty hardware and should throw the thing ? i would appreciate it .
thanks in advance
Hi all
I have a few questions to ask first I must though give the history of the device:
1. Phone was given to a bunch of us at Teched 2011 Atlanta by AT&T - they second hand rep and employee phones.
2. The phone worked well used AT&T and othe USA SIM cards - so this isn't a "Demo" phone.
3. I had to network unlock the phone with wwwfastgsmcom as I needed to use the phone outside USA. This worked and I have been able to use the phone in different countries.
4. I did the Cheveron NoDo update on the phone and subsequently upgraded to Mango Beta with NO problems what so ever.
Thank you guys for the help!!!
5. I upgraded to "Mango RTM".
6. Recently through Zune I received the "Pre release Mango cleanup" update. This ran on my phone. I haven't received anything ever since.
7. I have an ORIGINAL PAID FOR developer account so the phone is fully dev unlocked.
Phone details
Current versions (Settings: About"
Software Windows Phone 7.5
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2102.10.9.5
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.3
Radio software version: 2103.10.9.5
Bootloader version: 4.9.2.4
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
Now through the diag mode I checked hardware version. INTERESTING part its says:
HW REV:1.0
No 1.3 or 1.4 just 1.0.....
So some questions and hopefully help:
1. My back button is a nightmare. All the way up to the Mango release that enabled multi tasking the back button works PERFECTLY. After the Mango update with multi tasking the phone has become irritating. Depending on which application and or menu I am in if I press the BACK button it either goes to multi tasking (no holding back just simply pressing it) or it goes back as its suppose to.
Sometimes even if I press softly or to the left or right of the back button it never goes back just keeps throwing me back INTO the multi tasking menu.
With APPS its a nightmare it always goes into multi tasking and not back. This throws the app into "resuming" if it is not a multi task written app. i.e. WhatsApp is almost impossible to use.
In certain menus it works well goes back as I need it to, in other menus like say contacts... it goes into multi task mode when I press back.
I do have a Zagg protector on the phone.
Question 2:
2. I see that my Firmware, Radio, Bootloader basically all those are completely out of date! This could be why the wierd behaviour?
2.1 I can't find a MANGO rom out there with the updated Firmware, Radio, Bootloader - is there one that I can use please? Provide some sort of link or point me in the right direction.
2.2 Do the ROM's relock the phone, just so I know to go back and unlock the phone
I just unbricked my HD2 from the white screen with no logo. I spent the whole day reading hunderts of post about the white screen- bricked HD2 - the solution was to change the mainboard (at least the official service did that) and the people mostly sold the phone as bricked, its maybe also an production problem with HD2 because it's caracteristic and usual for it.
I think the Radio ROM is the problem and that it's a hardware error caused by overheating(i will report if the problems occurs again but i think it works now).
How it began(STORY):
I went on a trip and used google maps and route66 with GPS/WIFI all the time. My OS was Android Nand ICS and it wasn't too hot. The first problems started with random white screen occurrences trought the day as i was using google maps so i took out the battery and restarted, it worket but soon after the white screen occurred again. The white screen occurrences became more often and at the end there was only the white screen. (people reported the the phone somtimes worked when they recharded the battery and left it alone for a few days, after that they flashed the new rom )
I used the ICS rom for a few months with no problems(same reported from other users).
One theory(i read it on the forum) that the ICS is constantly overheating the HD2 + route66 mabe it bricked because of it.
So there is no other way, it has to be an hardware problem but the good news is it can some kind of be fixed (because i think it caused an radio mailfunction) !
SOLUTION:
So this is the way how i solved it:
- I downloaded an old version of the stock HD2 WM rom(i found somewhere that it can fix the problem) so with radio.
- I extracted the .exe file with WinRAR(or 7z, winzp...) and renamed the RUU_Signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh
- I copied LEOIMG.nbh to my SD Card (they said it should max 4GB, and has to be FAT32)
- I entred the HSPL with Volume down + Power and it found the rom on the SD card i pressed Power to install it and it FAILED !!!!
- I was depresed again :|
- I keept reading and may owners had the same problem, someone suggested that the update worked for him after he left the phone in a bag in the fridge. I had no fridge in the hostel (and no SD card writer only the ROM on my SD card) so i tried it again AND IT WORKED !!!
After that i got a HTC screen that didn't boot. I flashed HSPL3 (also from the second try, flashing from HD2 tools(HSPL2) didn't work) and installed official WM from the HTC HD2 support and i think i will use it from now on (or WM7) .
After i did it once it didnt work(flashing from SD card) so i used this method:
- Entered the SPL/HSPL
- Flashed HSPL4 sometimes it does not work but you have to keep trying
- Task29
- Updated a stock WM6.5 from the PC !! (from the SD card didnt work(
- works
PS: If you see only the white screen when you turn it on you need to wait few days to get to the HTC seceen so a hardware error. Maybe try to put the battery and simcard out of the phone or put it in a plastic bag in a fridge ... maybe it will accelerate the process
So my theory:
- The overheading caused a hardware error that damaged the Radio ROM and the software(but how?).
- It's a producttion problem(may owners with the same problem)
- It mostly occurrs to android users - and mostly ICS
- As an engineer i have no idea why it works now but i like it
Ok i got a white screen with Windows Mobile 6.5 after few days (with android/W7 imidiently).
The problem occured when i was cooking almost 40 celsius.
Maybe the solution can be to put some cooling paste on the radio or similar thing

Hi, can u say which old WM version u used ? I dont have bricked hd2 but instead of this my lcd doesnt show anything in first stages of boot, i mean i cant see tricolor screen (but can get into this with buttons), cant see magldr or clk, cant see cwm or anything until android (hyperdroid) boots up. Then it works perfect. Of course even if I cant see anything it works fine in background, even more, i can go into cwm and by pressing buttons do everything but... cant see the menus (luckily got help on xda and i know menu structure). Anyway, I spoke to guy in mobile service point, who said that some time ago he had the same situation, his hd2 got exactly the same weird problem and he solved it my installing some old WM roms. Unfortunately it was long time ago and he didnt remembered versions. But he said it happened to him after playing with some 3rd party camera software and for him it was like lcd locked itself in specific resolution. I'm more than happy to try your solution if u can provide WM version u used, as i already tried few and... nothing. Thx
I used the newest version of WM 6.5 3.14 / 2.15.50.14 it worked for days(i have not used the phone but it was on without simcard). Afther few days i inserted the SIM card inside the phone and then after few minutes maybe half an hour the white screen appeard again
Now i will try the 1.66.405.2 version with 2.06.51.7 radio hope it works with the sim card or i will have a bad MP3 player
Problem still open
The phone works for days when i leave it in my room and don't use it (need to test it with a sim card).
But when i take it out in my pocket it just turns of and can't be turned on. I take the battery out and put it in and the famouse white screen appears and i can't flash it anymore (i can eneter the bootloader - voldown+power) but when i try to update the rom it hangs and restarts.
Had the same problem few times and the white screen disapears after a while(few days), the HTC logo appears and i can flash the phone again.
I have a feeling the phone is "more alive" when i use WM 6.5 old version (on android and WP7 the white screen appears after few minutes but i am not sure).
Next time(when the white screen goes away) i will try to flash WM6.5 and leave it with the simcard for a few days. If it does't go into white screen then it's a contact problem on the hardware (and it's triggered when i walk)
i tried to put it into the fridge but it did not work
i tried latest wm rom but it doesnt work, i can hear sound when its loaded but nothing on screen, pressing power off it just keeps black and then lights up display .... thats it. Weird but with android on board i works fine after boot sequence, just have to press power off 4times. Tried to load WM from SD card but for some reason I cant do it properly (heard thats only way to get rid of HSPL and have clean install), phone just hangs, maybe some error but my display is not showing anything at this point Starting installer from PC gives loads up WM rom succesfully, but as I mentioned before, screen just lights up, music is playing and ..... nothing. Maybe You can try this way ?
If not, you could try following :
using mtty do some task 2a and task29 then reinstall
or
try find someone who could plug JTAG into it and wipe everything

Mine is proably hardware, but why its fine on android and not with WM ?
It's definitely a hardware problem. When the whitescreen appears it can't be removed with flashing. i leave the phone for a few days off and than again the mobile phone boots without problems !
The phone works for days when i leave and don't touch it, but as soon as i put it in my pocket and wear it with me for about half an hour the screen gets white againt and the phone does't boot anymore(for days or more).
so definitely it's a circuit or component problem, I will try to fix it with hot air(to refresh the definitely or to break the pohone but i'ts my last solution)
Would a motherboard change help ?

Please help me, I have the same problem with my hd2 (white screen). I can not install anything on it. Tell me please, you solved the problem? Remove the battery when you leave a few days?
It just unfreezes at random. I found out that when installing windows mobile 6.5 and when it's winter that it works longer :|
For now it works when i install android it freezes after a day or two (in winter and almost imedietly in sommer)

I haven't read your previous posts, but from your last post it seems that your motherboard is failing. A common issue with the HD2.
