Happy New Year everybody!!!!!!
Got my SX56 unlocked and was working just fine for a few weeks, then one day........bum..........can't charge it........
any idea what to do?????
There is a power fuse on your XDA board. It could be damaged. It can be replaced or short-cut. There are pictures and instruction available on this forum. If this was the case, you'll need to undestand what had hapened first !
Tanguy
Hi, thank you for your help, you mentioned about pictures and instruction
of a power fuse in this forum, and that's what I'd like to start from, only have problem to find them, if you could please guide me to them. Next step 'll be FREEZER!!!!!!
Using the search function
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4811&highlight=power+fuse
Or browsing the Wiki section :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/tmobile-pocketpc.pdf
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyHardware
I did not find exactly the one I wanted.
Try searching further with other words
Thank you Tanguy, will do again seach, will let know everybody if any luck, I see many people have the same problems not the same solutions.
OK, I couldn't get data sheet to find the power fuse and went to freezer staff for 20 minutes, doesn't work for me, any idea for the next step??
This is the post I was looking for.
I foud it searching with "fuse pics"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7766&highlight=fuse+pics
Hope it has some value to you.
Thank you very much, tryed to mod, now nothing but it's OK I alredy give up on it for now
Thanks again.
Please help, I recently bought the O2 XDA Flame. I had been using the device for a couple of months. As time went on the speed of the phone has deteriorated. At first i thought it was nothing, so i would restart the phone. But then came another issue, after the restart the device would take even longer respond to any command. It would just hang during phone calls also would have isseu with opening the contact etc. I even tried to Hard reset the darn thing but it would not work and would just keep hanging on me.
Please if anyone has any information it would be helpful!!!

sounds like it could be HW issue or SW as well. if it's still covered by wty better send it to SC. we don't want to void the wty right? hehehe if WMG has ROM upgrade you may want to try and upgrade it and see if problem still persist
Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm VERY new to all of this, as far as I was concerned, FLASHING was a bloke in a dirty mackintosh!
I do hope that I'm posting this in the right section (like I said I'm new to all this)
I have (had) an O2 XDA Exec, it had WM5 on it, and my (idiot) boyfriend decided that I should have WM6. I trusted him to do this (I know, I'm too trusting too ). During the installation, using active sync, Vista decided that it knew better and everything went kapput!
I'm sorry that I can't desribe it in your techie speak.
All I have now is a blank screen, and when I plug it in to charge the red light comes on.
ANY and all help would be VERY VERY much appreciated.... and if I may, could I ask that any help is described to me as if you were talking to a 10 year old?
Many, many thanks.

Hope Not
Check and read the WIKI for Universal and am pretty sure you can find some answer in there. I nearly bricked my Exec once but every information i needed is in the WIKI. By the way is there anything on the screen? Have you tried doing a hard reset?
Where to start?
Thanks Sandi76,
There is nothing on the screen at all, I've tried doing a soft reset and a hard reset and still nothing.
I'm looking at Wiki now, but I honestly don't know where to start. It must be the blonde (natural of course ) in me!
So, if someone could just help me to get started, it would be appreciated.
....and my boyfriend will be very happy about not having to sleep in the shed!
Thanks again,
MissG

PS. I'm not going to let him touch my phones EVER again!
There is hope!

Hi,
I think the first big problem is Vista. I've heard that Vista is not friendly to the ROM updating process. I may be wrong and somebody may have solved this but I would suggest that you get hold of a computer with XP in it to try to restart the updating process.
Second, can you put the phone in bootloader state? (press the two option buttons and reset hole at the same time) If so, you can flash your ROM again. I know, i know, to press the three at the same time you need a bit of help...maybe your bf can help with this...
Never again!
Thanks so much Wovens,
I've tried the reset to factory settings and pressed the 0 key, and it just says Clearing..., goes off and then nothing happens.
(I must have very long fingers because I can do it myself, and my b/f needs never come near my phone EVER again!)
I'll have to search about for someone with XP. I think that all my friends use Vista???
Do you think that finding an XP machine is my first step?
Thanks guys... I REALLY do appreciate your help you know?

Hi again,
if you only have Vista, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292631 it may help.
Again, I would do it with XP. It may be that something got partially flashed when b/f tried, so, factory settings will not work because they are not there any more. You will need to flash again. There is also, if I remember correctly, a way of flashing via SD card that bypasses the computer process. But you would need the phone fully charged or till battery light shows green as you don't have anything showing on screen right now.
Regards,
Wovens

IF there's a will there's a way...
Although i had flashed my ROM under Vista i am not going to recommend it because of the hassle of reinstalling the old driver for your exec, and the process is just a pain but it's worth it once you've done it. Try XP. But if it will not work check and read the whole wiki of Universal and am sure the answer you are looking for will be there. By the way can you go on the bootloader mode? perhaps you can try the mtty utility under 'How to upgrade your ROM' in the Universal WIKI.
Hi MissG, I recently resurrected my old Exec and had the same problem (trusting Vista Ultimate), I thought I had bricked the Exec but then read the wiki and found this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader
I know you think the screen is blank but look very very closely and hopefully you will see that it is in fact showing the v. as in the screenshot, if so then follow this and praise be to Xda Developers - good luck
Cheers
Wicksie
Lost hope?

OMG! You're right. I actually did read that on wiki yesterday and tried it, but couldn't see anything.
So I just gave it another go (just in case) and it is there. Incredibly faint and small I can't read what it says, but I can see that there is some writing there.
So, all is not lost then?
I've had no luck finding an XP machine yet though, so I may have to resort to partitioning my machine here (which I don't really want to do... knowing my luck recently, I'll also have to join several other forums to fix my PC!)
God bless the internet, God bless forums like these, God bless all of the people that help
It's like having a complete library in my bedroom.
Thanks again, and thanks so much for all of your help. I'll let you all know how I get on with it.

Hi,
Some guy in another thread said he's managed to flash his Uni using an XP emulator inside Windows 7! It also works for Vista. See link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481205

A HUGE thank you to OLYMPIA786 for going above and beyond the call of duty!
I'm a very happy little girl now and my b/f doesn't have to sleep in the shed any more
It was a real pleasure.
Out of pure idle curiosity - what was the actual issue in the end?
nothing big, same old vista compatibility problem, i flashed it with XP and it gone through the very first time.
Olympia786 did my Exec as well - a stunning job!! There are times I hate Vista and this was one of them!
I have got vista ultimate on dvd but never installed on my laptop.don't want to take risk with my universal.I didn't like the vista to be very honest,too complicated and not user friendly.happy with XP.
Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?
I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...
Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.
I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom
Hey everyone, recently my hd2 touch screen stopped working, I'm not sure why it stopped responding but it will only respond by the physical buttons. The only thing I can do with it is turn it on and put it into sleep and or turn it on to the lock screen. I currently have android on it.
I searched around and found out that alot of people had the same problem as me and the only way to fix it is by sending it to HTC so they can replace the faulty screen. Now I'm going to try that but before I send it in I want to reset the phone back to original settings with WM 6.5 and remove the SPL. The problem is I am not sure how to do it, so can anyone let me know how I can do all that or point me in the right direction?
Appreciate the help
I had the exact same issue. I reset the phone multiple times and tried different roms from stock to modded, android to winMo 6.5 with no success. Your luck might be different, but the only way I was able to get my HD2's screen running properly was to have the digitizer replaced. I know it sucks, but at least you're not the 1st to deal with it.

The right direction would be the search button. Just look for "Remove HSPL", "Uninstall HSPL" and you'll find plenty of results:

One warning: please check whether you need a EU or TMOUS ROM before proceeding... Wrong ROM could brick your device, making things probably worse than they are...

Awesome, another HD2 screen not working topic. We was seriously running low on these, Its not as if there wasn't enough or answer wasnt available already a million times over or we would have been in real trouble.
