i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007

white screen update
hello again
still on 4.31 activesync isnt playing at teh moment but anyway.
on the screen thing, if i leave the unit standby itself and then power back on it seems fine, so far 3 hours of good, no white screens.
thanks pete
hi there i face this problem with my imate jasjam sorry to tell you that but this problem is a hardware problem you be confirm that it hardware by push by your 2 fingers below the screen and above the keys like you catch"hold" something bush the power key again the white screen will be disappear .sorry if you don't understand me because of my English.
Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.
same problem here.
Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

I have this same issue.
I hadn't turned my phone on for about 2 weeks. I turned it on, it booted windows, I restarted and it just hung at the main booting screen. The numbers that show radio version and all of that never come up.
I've hard reset, I've gone into the boot loader without issue, I've soft reset a couple times -- no dice.
Any ideas?
i have same problem
but when i put it in cool place like freezer for 3-4 min it works but when it become hot again hung and restart then vibrates for 7 times again
i don`t know what should i do...

3. problems get worse. At this stage it is possible to notice the 7 short vibrates at boot time if the phone is warm or kept in a warm environment. You don't have to push it very hard, it only needs to be warm. The vibration pattern is an error code made by the actual qualcomm chipset
can any help me i have the same issue HTC HD2 Vibrate 7times. I have HTC HD2 Tmobile

hello, do you have your stock rom somewhere?
Hello everyone,
To be honest, it's been some time since I've been here, back when I knew how everything on this forum worked...
I kinda forgot, so I'm just posting this HELPME!? thread
This is my problem:
About 1.5 years ago I downloaded a ROM, and put it on my phone, and it was working just fine. However, 3 weeks ago it became really annoying, i'll explain what my problem was:
My phone would randomly freeze when i was doing things, these things could vary from "sending a text message" to "opening my 4th opera tab".
After that it wouldn't respond unless I reset it. However, when starting up again after resetting it would do a few possible things.
1. It's freeze at the first startup screen.
2. It's keep switching between unlock and "pin-screen", and when it was working again, it'd freeze.
3. It'd start up, and after about 5 seconds buzz like 5 times, then freeze.
When i left it on frozen the battery and phone would turn very hot as well =(
So, I tried a hard reset, but that didn't work.
After that i went to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
I followed the instructions, installed the right Radio (2.12.50), and installed the ROM ( Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.NLD.Cookie.2.0.Jul.07.7z ).
I remembered how to intall these things, so I think i've done that right.
So, after that it seemed to be working fine, and I was really proud and happy.
Now my phone has frozen again, and starting up was an issue again...
Does anyone know what my problem is? And what would be even better, what i can do to solve it?
Please let me know <3
Adios <3
Little Update:
So, I've been carrying my HTC HD2 around with me again, and then it started again...
It froze when I tried to send a text, and after that would freeze or vibrate (a few times) during the start-up...
It's really anoying =( If I'd have to estimate my phone's uptime a day...
It used to be 24h a day, now it's more like... 4 hours a day, with 2/3 hours of trying to get it working :Z
That could be hardware related. Possibly processor overheating. I would download the latest stock rom and fash it to see if it sorts the problem. If not it will need to be sent of to HTC to be replaced.
like its said in the title, my titan resetet itself twice! without any obvious reason.
the first time the titan didnt react to anything so i removed the battery, when i startet it again -> get started stuff
the second time i just turn the titan off when i restarted -> get started
its pretty anoying and i wanted to know if anybody has the same problem or knows an answer
thx
Memory full ?
What your device memory nearly full or about 8GB full ? Some devices have a bug when this happens. The last deployed firmware resolved the issue for me.
mhm im not sure how much was full but it could be...
i will do the update and see if it solves the problem
thx for the tipp
edit: great ive wanted to update my phone but during the process it fails. at the point when the phone is restarting my pc doesnt recognice it anymore...
zune is waiting for the phone to restart and the phone shows this "connect phone to pc" screen but nothing happens...
You can try to update your firmware with the lastest version with a recovery tool here:

It worked for me but you'll loose all your data.
ok thx i will wait a few days and look for driver updates mabay this will fix it and i can update the normal way but thx
My phone keeps shutting off and I barely have anything on it. Pretty annoying, thought it was a defective phone, not sure after reading this.
edit: after doing a factory reset my phone is still shutting off. Going to get a new replacement today.
I read on another thread that cleaning SIM card and reseating it solves that. Hope this is not too late to help others.
Any similarities to this?

I just had my first reboot for my Titan. Incoming call but no sound. Hung up, and the phone immediately rebooted. First and only time it did that. Hopefully it was an isolated incident.
FYI: I have about 4GB free on my phone. No other issues.
i think some of you getting it wrong. my titan doesnt reboot it reset itself like a hard reset, everything is gone and i have to go trough the whole settup again...
this happened twice altough it havent happened in the last days i want to update my phone but its impossible for me right now because when my phone restarts during the update process zune doesnt recognise it anymore.
ive already deletet and reinstallt the driver and i ran the official microsoft fix without any sucess

Mine did this twice this week. I think is something with network connection.
Everytime I took it from pocket or car, turned it on and call in seconds.
Sometimes I got restarts while using the bluetooth connected to my car.
Something it not good with HTC radio.

HTC Titan resetting itself out of nowhere..??
My Titan reset itself for the 1st time yesterday.. it froze first so i couldn't power it down I had to take the battery out, only thing is I have all my stuff (music, pictures, text messages..) u get the point. So after that happened and i pulled the battery out and put it back in and powered it up some of my apps were uninstalled and when i went over a screen to my apps i noticed something that said "applications install" or something like that, i had never seen it before. I uninstalled the mysterious app or watever it was and now when i try to open my people block on the start screen to find contacts it wont work.. wont open at all!!! this is the 2nd titan ive had and im totally confused as to what going on. I did unlock it with an unlock code. I dunno if that has anything to do with it.. Can anyone shed any light or should i just count my losses and trash it! it also deleted my email accounts in settings when i powered it off then on again.. I dunno if its a bug or wat, but im pissed tf off!! hellppppp!
Hey, guys, I know there are a lot of these issues with a lot, if not all, of the HTC smartphones, but I've only seen a few of these for the HTC Radar, and they all seem to give the same answers. Hopefully my explanation of the problem will help!
So, I got the phone thanksgiving weekend 2011, so I've had it for about a year. One day around the beginning of April this year, my phone randomly began a restarting loop, where it would gradually restart itself from a blank white screen over and over, then it went to the HTC screen over and over, and then periodically switched between the HTC screen and the black "Windows Phone" load screen over and over again. I tried taking off the battery cover and leaving it for a couple of minutes and then hours, but I put it back and it just kept rebooting. I was left without a phone for about two days.
On the second day, I put it on the charger and left it in my dorm while I was in class all day, and when I came back, it was rebooting still, but I noticed that it always made it to the "Windows Phone" logo loading screen and then restarted. After about 4 reboots, it went back to normal and I was able to use the phone. After the next couple of months, it stopped doing it in such a long period of time, but the battery usage went up almost 30-40% than what it used to be. Once in a while, it would reboot once, but then it would be back to normal.
This time, in late October, it started the reboot thing again, but this time, only going up to the HTC screen and looping that. I tried taking the battery cover off again and leaving it for hours, but same problem now. So I decided to leave it off for a day. By this time, I had my HTC Desire HD as backup, but it was unlocked, and at the time when I bought it, I didn't know anything about HSDPA numbers, so I could use my T-Mobile SIM, but no mobile network, since it's a Telus/AT&T phone.
I tried charging it, but this time, it lasted for a whole week. After rebooting over and over, it would last 3 hours, then stop because the battery would die out. So I just left it, and left it, and weeks went by, and my warranty had long since expired, so I couldn't go to HTC about this. I even called them to see what I could do, and they told me to do a Factory Reset, well... here is a list of the things I tried:
- IMAGE CRC: At first I didn't know what this was, and so I looked it up. After finding out what it was, I tried it, and I got two numbers: BL CRC-0xD19F79E1 and OS CRC-0x4CC706B. I looked those up on the internet and got nothing. I restarted the phone, and nothing happened at all. (If there was something else I was supposed to do here, please tell me!)
- Factory Reset: This was the LAST thing I wanted to do, but I had no choice and I tried it, hoping the error would be fixed. So I scrolled down to it, everything seemed to be normal, it gave me a warning, and I clicked it ... I was very suspicious of this, because as soon as I clicked "Factory Reset", it said "Reset complete. Press Volume Down to restart". I mean IMMEDIATELY after. Now, I KNOW that Factory Resets take much longer than an instant to actually have happened. But I restarted anyway. ... Nothing, still. I tried it several times after that, only to get the same result.
Those are the two options I tried, besides looking on the internet... if I can avoid buying a new Radar, I would like to, at all costs, because the next time I have a decent amount of money, I would like to save it for something else. Is there anything else I could try to resolve this issue, or at least gain more information on the problem?
Thank you all very much for reading my post!

May be it is a Hardware problem. Why you don't try to put HSPL and to cook custom rom ? I do this on mine few days ago and now the phone is more useful than before. I cooked HD2O ROM and till now working fine for me. When you change bootloader with HSPL may be it will work out if it is a Software problem. Also you need to change Radio Firmware other wise the device can not boot. When I am doing HSPL a few times phone just loop restarts and not start but after I do everything like it was in treads here and flash new radio the phone is working fine now. But may be there is a Hardware problem.

Thank you very much for responding! So just to be clear, how exactly do I go about flashing a ROM on the Radar, and a new radio? On Android phones, its much easier to root the device or simply place the ROM folder in there and make it work. I have no experience with doing this to a Radar, as I was previously led to believe that this was impossible. Should I just browse this forum?

Yes just browse this forum but only section about Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking. You will find DFT exclamation of how to install HSPL. In mine it was very easy because I not receive Country ID fail my phone was buy in Europe. If you receive Country ID error you need to proceed with goldcard it is explained there but first proceed without goldcard if it work it is very easy. Also when you proceed SPL2.05 it is not clear in the topic but you need to be in bootloader so you should start your phone with VolUp and VolDn keys pushed this is not explained in the topic and I waist a lot of time till figured out. After that just download one of the 7.8 ROMs here in Radar section and write it down. Also download new radio and use some RUU to put it on the phone before the ROM other wise the phone can not boot. Try and after that if you have problems write down here.
MY RADAR TURNED BACK ON! I don't know exactly what happened, but after a couple of reboots, the battery indicator flashed and then it rebooted twice until finally turning on the full amount.
Tonyco1 -- Thank you very much for staying with me and replying to my request! Although what you suggested is not needed for my booting issue, I'm going to try it anyway to see if I can actually boot 7.8! Thank you again.
