Hey all,
I need some help with my Hermes. i had it for about a week before doing the stupid thing and bricking it.
i had uploaded a ROM and it was running all fine and dandy until i tried syncing it to the PC. the phone would freeze up and i would have to soft reset it. this caused a problem because i wasn't able to upload the previous ROM back. then something happened and now all i get is the boot loader screen. when i hard reset it, it goes to a black screen and the LED at the top right hand corner stays on. nothing else. i can get boot loader fine but nothing else. it seems nothing that is around to help fix this is helping. I've been so cautious cause i don't want to screw it up anymore then it is.
If there is any one out there that can help it would be great.
Thanks in advance

Oh and if you need any additional info just say.

Hoping you guys can help me out with a problem I've encountered with my cingular 8125 (wizard).
My wizard is brand new, about a week old. No modifications, i.e. box stock. I'm still playing around with it, trying to figure out how everything works. Just out of curiosity I performed a hard reset, to see how that works. And guess what, the thing is not booting up now.
It's stuck in the cingular startup screen with the radio and os/rom info on it. I've tried to perform another hard and soft reset, but it's not working. What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Help!
Thanks in advance!
Take battery out for 2 hours and leave device not plugged in - for good measure take out the minisd card. should boot up then or you will be able to do hard reset.
let us know how you get on
Okay, I'll give that a shot. I was totally like, wtf? Now what did I just do? :wink:

Okay, that didn't work....
Any other ideas out there? I don't see any other way to get this thing working again.
There are some other threads about this issue but with no simple fixes - search 'stuck on boot screen' or 'wont hard reset'
but i think you have a faulty device and quickest thing is to go and exchange it.
Okay, I figured out how to do it. Evidently I didn't press the hard keys in the correct sequence and/or coreect length of time.... :roll:
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm back to playing with this cool toy some more.

Hi,
Does anyone know why my screen just suddenly goes white?
It started when i heard someone called me. I looked at the screen and it was totally white. Pressing buttons didn't do anything. I tried soft + hard reset but the fone was still like that.
Has anyone got this problem before?

i haven't had the problem but it would be helpful if we knew what kind of a phone and rom you have
my fone is cingular 8525, and I have no idea what kinda rom I have. I only unlocked it with the software available here, and still haven't had time to play with other stuff yet.
oh, and i don't think the front buttons work, btw, so when i said i hard reseted it, i was wrong.
it also seems like this problem:

Don't you think? Now I'll have to buy some tools to open this baby up. Does anyone know where I can get the right tools?
It's always best to start at the beginning. Go HERE to a page that I created for new members that has links to EVERYTHING you may need to know about fixing your phone, flashing ROMS and Radios, etc.
Best wishes,
I just fixed it i just fixed it ). I don't think the light sensor for the keyboard work anymore thou, but screw that, the phone works ).
BIG BIG THANKS to "ALKIZMO" and his post:

Ok first off. Nice Site here. There is a LOT of informative stuff here, and it's really great. You guys know yourr stuff. Unfortuantely it wasn't enough...for what I needed.
I tried fishing through this site to see if anyone has had the same problem that I have had, and no luck.
This is my girlfriend's OLD phone, so before it officially becomes a worthless paperweight, I'll try and fix it and sell it while some value is still attained to it.
What is does in a nutshell is the buttons seem to not work a lot. And randomly brings up the Start menu up with any button you press. If you let the page sit there it seems to get a little better and doesn't bring it up AS MUCH. But mainly the buttons seem to be messed up or something.
I tried installing a new ROM from this site, and I COULDN'T DO A HARD RESET. I tried over and over and even had a helper. It just seemed to not work. I would get stuck at the Tmobile page forever, and be forced to put back the OEM ROM. Then it would work again.
But sometime it would be fine for a while. The thing is, it's unreliable. You never know when it's going to NOT work, and start messing up again.
I'm at a total loss.
Ok. THe absolutley WILL NOT HARD Reset in any sort of way. Just tried it out again. It just does a soft reset everytime
im not sure if its related but i upgraded my phone to windows mobile 6.5 a few weeks ago. (not sure exactly which but can find out if needed) I used oliprio spl 2.4.
everthing was working fine other than the usual bugs with custom roms but today when i woke up i tried to turn my phone on and it wouldnt start. i soft reset it and it seemed to be starting up fine until it got past the windows mobile 6.5 screen. it then went to a blank white screen. I tried soft reseting a few more times but no luck. I hard reset it after that but the same thing happened.
I tried re flashing the same rom and the 6.1 rom from htc but it wouldnt even find the phone. i tried putting a new spl on it but it wouldnt work either. ive tried flashing on the blank white screen and in the boot loader. The touch screen still sorta works. backlight comes on if i touch the screen but if i hold the power button the screen to power off comes on but cant be used
I feel like i"ve tried everything but nothing seems to get me anywhere closer to fixing it. If anyone needs more information to help me just ask. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
hmmmmm, couldn't find much

there are seriously A LOT of posts on this subject as it covers a lot of different cell phone and carriers. I posted my search link at the bottom of the links so you can see them
Seems to either be a bad flash, screen or something on the board
Good luck, hopefully it's software related
Before I start I know how touchy people are about searching forums and the wiki etc... but I already have!
Ok so, I tried to flash a new ROM to my phone last night, I have done it before without problems however this time I was having trouble getting the phone to connect to my laptop (I run Windows 7). Both USPL and HSPL wouldn't work (in fact active sync wouldn't even recognise it).
So I went to bed, woke up and... My phone didn't work at all
I spent ages trying to get it too work, I tried putting it into bootloader, but nothing happened, I tried getting it to Hard reset, but nothing happened. (By nothing happens i mean the screen doesn't turn on).
The only sign of life i get from it is the little vibration that usually occurs after the 'smart mobility' screen appears. Except this is delayed by about 10 seconds from after pressing the Power button.
The delay makes me think that there is something else wrong with the phone other then the screen...
Please help!!
Oh and I am sorry for the essay... I only just realised how long and rambling it is haaa.
UPDATE: right it just connected to activesync but still nothing on the screen, is there any way of checking for definite that the screen is broke before I fork out for a new one? There is astill the massive delay between turning the phone on and getting the little vibration...
Try removing battery overnight, then re-inserting. Then try to get to bootloader or hard reset
how exactly did you manage to brick it? did you flash the rom in question with uspl, or do u generally have hard spl installed? i dont know but it looks like the bootloader is somehow broken ...
Ok I will try doing that, thank you for helping
And no, I didnt get as far as flashing the ROM because active sync never recognised the phone in Bootlaoder. I usually use USPL.
Did you fix it? and if so how?
I have very similar issues with my HD right now. Screen went black, bought a new LCD and still the same problem. Oddly enough the only way I can get the screen to come on is to take the battery out and set both battery and phone body in my window sill for half an hour or so. It is cold here right now and they are both pretty cool to the touch when I take them out. Put it back together and tada! Screen comes on. I dunno what the deal is also, don't know if its the battery or phone being cold that makes it work again??? I am going to try and figure it out.. Try it on yours it may help
