Hi!
I have a HTC Elf . I am at work now and do not know the exact ROM or Radio version.
My phone starts but the touch screen is unusable. If I hard reset the phone it aks me to calibrate the touchscreen and on rare occasions the touch works.
I do not know if it's Sim Locked, but it probably is as I see written O2 on it. I got the phone as a bonus for buying another one.
My thought is to install a new ROM and radio as the menu is in German.
That are the steps that I have to do to reinstall everything?
I am rather new with phone troubleshooting, but I am skilled with computers (Linux user ) and I have a base for doing this myself if properly guided.
Thanks!

tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it
Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?
please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?
it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.
@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.
how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?
Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.
thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.

Please help me.
Hi
I've got a HTC Hermes that won't boot up properly.
I've had a quick search and can't find to find the exact same proble but apologies if this has already been raised.
I previously flashed my T-mobile ROM with RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.
The problem started when I downloaded a Registry Optimizer from Windows Update. When I started using this my phone was not in airplane mode, and just hangs on the logo screen (this is the gold Tai Edition)
I tried to do a hard reset (this goes to the screen with the four colour bands on it), and then when I reset it again it just switches to the logo screen and stays there. After a while, the screen goes white and stays there
I've got only a basic knowledge of flashing ROMs and when I first flashed my ROM i used Hard SPL and the basic AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM, before using TAI's custom one.
I presume I need to try and re-install the ROM (via the SD card, as Active Sync doesn't recognise the phone)
I was aware of risks whilst using the Registry Optimizer and realise that this is my fault, so I'm not expecting any quick fixes
Would be grateful though if anyone could point me in the right direction, if my phone is recoverable, and not bricked.
Cheers
You flashed a rom for the Kaiser.... You have a Hermes...
Looks like a brick to me....
If you use the sd card method you might be able to fix BUT make sure its a Hermes rom....
Thanks for pointing that out!
I found the thread on how to unbrick a hermes, so should be ok from here..
Hi,
i`ve got a problem with my touchscreen, after installing SD card distribution of Android, few restarts later my touchscreen stpped to respond every time when my device is locked, and i have to restart it.
I tried to flash new rom - nothing happend
H-E-L-P !
remove sd card delete the partitions and format - use Easeus free edition for this
Then boot the phone - reun task 29 from your pc then reread the flashing instructions for the rom of your choice and try again - ensure the rom supports your version og HD2 whatever that may be
All done, and doesn`t work. I`m wonderig if is possible, that is malfunction of touchscreen, because it have been changed after it was broken.
i'm having the same issue. after it goes into its first lock screen the touch screen input doesn't work. i've flashed the ROM and also task29 the sucker. i've reverted back to stock ROM too. I'm not running android or even try to install from SD.
Bump..!
Anybody got a solution for this..?
I have a HD2 with android on it.. nand version.. so it runs without sd card..
The phone works fine.. but when you lock it.. the screen doesnt respond anymore.. its running miui at the moment, so i can unlock the lockscreen.. but still the screen doesnt respond..
i see more people having this issues, so i hope to find a solution..
keep on searching..!
So Am I
after 5 moths of Android Nand use I have the same problem. I have changed kernel/ROM
I made few times task29 wipe cache/dalvik but still the same
Yesterday I try install the orginal WWE 6.5 ROM but nothing change...
Maybe is hardware issue ? Few times with android rom my leo was very hot and maybe something burn inside ? or its stupid idea but who knows

Sure it's hardware: replacing touchscreen is your best choice!
But is this because of android on hd2? or do other people with stock phones also see this problem?
Hd2 is already gone here.. but i think its a good thing to know for the scene..

It's a wellknown (hardware) problem for HD2, not related to software(android/wm/wp/whatever).
SO my LEO came back from service, there is a part list that they changed:
- 54h20178-00M pre-assy key, key FPC, UF-KS, w/o Reg
- 74H01549-00M Chassis Pre-assy, black, stainless steel, MLRB81
- 76H04078-00M tape, FPC connector, kapton, MLRB81
- 83H00294-01 change 83H00233-01, 83H00294-03, 62H00065-B1M Sub-assy to 82H
maybe You need do the same...
Okay, so i just bought my 6th HD2, and this one got the lockscreen problem as well. If i lock the screen using the red power button and try to wake it up with the same red power button i found out that it doesn't work. I tried everything but i think i found a sort of workaround for the touchscreen problem.
1. Lock the screen as you normally do, with the red power button.
2. Wait at least more then 6 seconds with the screen off.
3. Now push the VOLUME UP button to make the device wake up.
4. Profit!
5. If it doesn't work, go back to 1 and try again.
I found out that if it works 1 time it will work multiple times in a row.
I'm on NAND but i think it works on SD aswell.
Please post your reactions to this.
hey,guys
how are u doing, hope all are right with u
i have an htc blackstone, am noob but am trying to learn about flashing.
since i was bored with wm6.1 i wanted badly to have wm6.5 or android on my htc at least for a change,i tried many roms, and my screen is freezinge and not responding all time,i mean with the process of flashing it's fine but when everything is done,the rom works but the screen freeze,so i need to know how to update this hspl 1.56 or any other solution that will allow me to use wm6.5 or any good rom.please help i was suffering for 3 days now,and can't get anything smooth
Cherrs,
Yassine
first, enter bootloader mode by shutting down the device completely, then pressing vol down and power and have a look at the 4 colored screen. it will show your current spl. please post that here.
since you already tried different roms, i assume it is hspl 1.56 already.
hspl is meant for unlocking your device to all kinds of roms, like roms from other countries (if your device is not a native wwe device).
it does not affect the speed of roms, it just makes it possible to flash and boot them at all.
things you can do to speed up your device, is perform a task 29 before flashing and perform several hard resets after flashing. probably your device is still carrying around waste from previous operating systems which makes it slow and unstable.
also, any cooked rom found here will perform slower than the stock rom you are used to but the trouble you describe is beyond the expected.
Thx Tony ,i appreciate your replay.this what it shows on the bootloader screen:
Blac100 32 m
Spl-1.56.olinex
microp-blackstone(led)V6
this displayed on the red part,of the bootloder,no info in the green and blue one,and usb showed on the white one down
As i told you i tried various rom, i even tried the original one which i download from htc website,the phone was working smoothly before,but after flashing,the room are installed,but the screen touch is not responding anymore,is there any way to get back the phone to the original setting,or any solution like compatible rom with spl 1.56 oilnex,i can't use that phone anymore ,only voulme button and power one works for the moment,please help me to fix those issues
i already perform task 29 and i cleaned the whole things,but still the some issue
best regards
strange
if it was a bad rom flash, it would be fixed after a reflash of a new rom or even a task29.. defo not rom related.
are you sure you have not droppend your device recently because its starting to sound like it is a hardware issue = lcd/digitizer
to be honest i cannot see this being a hardware issue either, if the device was fine before you flashed a new rom
*but i could be wrong
my personal opinion would be to try a couple more custom roms, if it still does not respond to touch then its time you opened your device and took a look inside..
