Having a big problem with my mogul

[m260gt]

whenever i slide it out to go into landscape mode the screen has lines all thru it. like the screen is missing parts of it or something. i tried a soft reset first. didnt fix it. then i tried a hard reset. that didnt fix it. then i even re flashed it. still same problem. is it a hardware issue. i dont have insurance on it, but im thinking if its the keyboards problem, it shouldnt matter. i didnt get it wet either or drop it. it only happens when i slide it out. could there be wires being messed up when i slide? the lines dont show up if i go in there and manually rotate the screen, so im thinking its the keyboard thats messed up.

Thanks for any help

Sounds like a hardware issue bro add insurance today then go to ur carrier and ask them to look at it when they know it cant be fixed they might give u a touch pro

[m260gt]

im trying to add the insurance online but idk if its possible. first major problem ive had in like 8 months. does the touch pro have wifi?

Just call sprint bro if u cant do it online the best thing is for u to get insurance now then wait a couple days and take it in and yea touch pro has wifi

Ok first and foremost, have you tried Stock ROM and do you encounter the same issue on Stock ROM? If you encounter the same issue on Stock ROM then you have a hardware issue..Also, Sprint is allowing all customers to add insurance to their accounts if they dont have them attached already ... THIS IS ONLY FOR THE MONTH OF MAY! You can call in and add it with no issues and i wouldnt recommend doing it online.

[m260gt]

no im about to try the stock rom but cant find the titan relocker anywhere on here? does anyone know where it is? i found one link but it doesnt work.

and i have alltel not sprint. thanks for all the replies

what exactly is a dumped rom? that word is new to me lol

[BiG JeW]

what exactly is a dumped rom? that word is new to me lol


Means its the Stock ROM with out the relocker in it. You do not need to relock your phone. If your phone is unlocked, just dl the DUMP ROM and flash it. You will only need to relock if you bring it in to the store for repair or exchange

[m260gt]

ok thanks. yeah i was just gonna relock it and take it in to alltel tomorrow. but idk if i should without the insurance. before when a keyboard went out, they replaced the phone when i didnt have insurance

[BiG JeW]

you may do what you would like.. were are just telling you the steps to troubleshoot the device so you dont have to go in to store or get a replacement... Also, when your keyboard went out, it was probably under manufacturer warranty so it was a free replacement. warranty is probably up by now on your mogul

[jr5416]

ok thanks. yeah i was just gonna relock it and take it in to alltel tomorrow. but idk if i should without the insurance. before when a keyboard went out, they replaced the phone when i didnt have insurance

Bro just get insurance for a month if u dont wanna pay for it every month just so u can get a new phone

[m260gt]

yeah thanks for all the help. i cant get insurance online so im going to have to go in there tomorrow to get the insurance. or call maybe.

im not trying to be mean. so what happens if it is still messed up after the flash to the dumped rom? then its off to alltel? but if its not doing it anymore then its fixed?

you arent being mean.. please dont take it personally, you posted a thread and stated the issue and we are just providing you with advise. your choice. now your problem isnt occurring anymore? is it working?? maybe you needed are soft reset? to answer your question, if its still messed up after you flash to the dump ROM with the same issue, then you have a hardware problem.

[m260gt]

now the phone wont even recognize an sd card. so im gonna have to wait till i get home and can get plugged in..........

[BiG JeW]

now the phone wont even recognize an sd card. so im gonna have to wait till i get home and can get plugged in..........

then you know what to do... sounds like u got a problem with the ROM unless now the SD cards port is now bad and that would make it another hardware issue.

[D/\SH]

i would say hardware and you did get it back to stock and you said it still isnt working? sorry just a little hard to follow.

[m260gt]

no i havent got it back to stock yet, sorry i know its hard to follow. my laptop died, i was trying to use the sd card method cause i didnt have a cord. i tried the rom Big Jew posted and it wouldnt load for some reason.

do you have a diff computer or a library that you could go to so you can borrow their pc for the task?

[m260gt]

im back on my laptop now. but it wont load the most recent alltel stock rom. i just loaded the one big jew posted, but if i have to bring it in to alltel tomorrow im going to need the locked version. ive searched but i cant find an .nbh file for it. is it on here? its the one that enabled gps. i cant find it

--------- New Post Merged on 20/5/2009 at 11:29:46 --------

welll...the rom that big jew put up finished loading, and the problem is still there. looks like im going to alltel tomorrow. except the phone wont boot up now...

--------- New Post Merged on 20/5/2009 at 11:55:00 --------

pleease??? im stuck with no phone now. lol. the phone wont boot up at all.

--------- New Post Merged on 20/5/2009 at 11:59:13 --------

i wonder why the new alltel rom RUU.exe wont work. it just tells me my phone cant use this RUU, its very weird.

--------- New Post Merged on 21/5/2009 at 12:38:20 --------

ok so i extracted the files from the exe file and got the nbh file, used the RUU ive been using to try and flash it again and i finally got the alltel version flashed...except there were two nbh's so i chose the biggest file. do i still need to lock the phone? or did it automatically do that?

--------- New Post Merged on 21/5/2009 at 12:43:01 --------

it wont let me edit my posts...but the stock rom wont work......so im going to alltel with it tomorrow. hopefully theyll give me a new one.

--------- New Post Merged on 21/5/2009 at 12:44:50 --------

i mean the keyboard still wont work. stock rom works. wont let me edit

ok you lost me with 10 straight posts or something....... but you finally got the stock on there ansd still not working? you jump all over the place and i dont understand you 3/4 of the time... take a breathe and give more details when describing and i will be able to help you more but seriosly you jump all over the place.

[BiG JeW]

what ROM are you mentioning?? I dont believe the ROMS that i posted are for your device, unless you are mentioning the one is this thread. DONT BRICK YOUR PHONE NOW!

[m260gt]

sorry dash i was kinda panicing lol. so here goes. my phone started to mess up when i slid it open, then the keyboard started to not work. So i tried re flashing the kaos take 3 hybrid again, and again, still it didnt fix the problem. So i flashed to a different one. the take 5. still nothing. Big jew posted a rom up on this thread as the alltel rom with no locker in it, so i flashed to that one finally(it would barely work). once i flashed to that one, the phone wouldnt even get past the boot screen with that one. Then i wanted to just flash to the newest alltel rom with the gps activated, so i went and found the .exe file with the built in RUU from HTC's website. when i tried running that file it said that RUU wasnt for my device..which it was. So i finally extracted the files from the exe with winrar and found the .nbh file they used in the .exe and put that on the sd, but that method of flashing didnt work. So i put that .nbh file into the RUU i already have to use with other roms. and that finally worked. idk if it is locked now, but oh well.

i went to Alltel this morning and they are sending me a refurbished mogul and i have to send mine away. so my last and final question is is there a way to tell if my phone is locked again?

oh and the screen finally gave out. the phone starts up but the screen doesnt know up.

again..sorry about the confusion, hopefully that was clearer.

ok do this... place your phone into manual bootloader and tell me what it says in the top left corner of the phone....

[m260gt]

ok..before i do that how do i get it off manual bootloader?

--------- New Post Merged on 21/5/2009 at 10:29:28 --------

well i just tried it but the screen is totally dead and wont show anything....

[D/\SH]

ok..before i do that how do i get it off manual bootloader?

to place your phone into manual bootloader you have to press and hold the power and camera buttons while soft resetting.

[m260gt]

yeah i knew how to get to the bootloader. but i was asking how do i get off it after its on...but my screen doesnt show up.....................wait..it did this time..

it says "TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40. Olipro
CPLD-9

doesnt the olipro mean its still locked?

if so, how do i relock it? i have to send it to alltel when i get my new one

[D/\SH]

you use the titan relocker tool to relock your phone and no it is still unlocked..... and to get out of it you just soft reset.

[m260gt]

thankks. i tried downloading the relocker from your flashing tutorial, but it says file not found or something. any other place to download it?

[D/\SH]

thankks. i tried downloading the relocker from your flashing tutorial, but it says file not found or something. any other place to download it?

you could ask for a reup there or search google and you will find it right away.

[m260gt]

screen went out again...in the middle of relocking...hope my phone isnt dead..

[PHE-NOM]

i havent read the thread, but dont you have insurance? if so just get a new one. never mind i see you dont. well, just add it to your plan bro, and then you can upgrade to the touch also. with htc phones is always good to have insurance.

[m260gt]

yeah i will have insurance. but my phones still under warranty so they are just sending me another one. alltel is dumb that way

[PHE-NOM]

well thats good, at least you are getting a new phone.

[m260gt]

thanks. yeah if i can get it relocked to send back to them.

[BiG JeW]

thanks. yeah if i can get it relocked to send back to them.



by law you can do what you like... if they already issued you a replacement and its on the way to you, just send it back unlocked... its no biggie. glad to see you got a resolution to your issue. lets us know when we can close this thread

[m260gt]

you dont think they will tell me later after they get mine that i have to pay because i voided the warranty?

[BiG JeW]

you dont think they will tell me later after they get mine that i have to pay because i voided the warranty?

no i dont... been discussed before and its your property...shouldnt be an issue

[m260gt]

alright cool i wont worry about it then. ill post when i get my phone and you can close the thread.

[D/\SH]

no i dont... been discussed before and its your property...shouldnt be an issue

yeah and on top of that most of the people there odnt even know the difference or pay attention to every phone to see what version of bootloader they have on them.

[m260gt]

cool thanks. hopefully be getting the new one tues or wed. along with new rims and tires for the mustang :)

[jr5416]

cool thanks. hopefully be getting the new one tues or wed. along with new rims and tires for the mustang :)

yeah 99.9% of the time the refurbs are junk and have mad problems.

[m260gt]

yeah well i get 2 more tries. then the guy said theyd give me the touch pro probably. my next one comes tomorrow overnighted, so we will see how that goes

[Sh0wNuF]

yeah well i get 2 more tries. then the guy said theyd give me the touch pro probably. my next one comes tomorrow overnighted, so we will see how that goes

if i were you I'd keep "finding" problems till you get the touch pro...its a way better phone and doesn't have any of the issues that I had with my old moguls

[m260gt]

yeah im gonna try to keep finding them. but if theres no problems then theres nothing i can do lol. im hoping problems will keep coming up. id like the touch pro. the only thing about it is that is feels cheaper than the mogul. the casing and everything, it feels like plastic that would crack and break easily. instead of the tough plastic on the mogul. is that true?

[D/\SH]

its built very sturdy and the only problem is the chrome chipping if dropped on concrete or something else rough..... i find the feel way more sturdy than the mogul in my opinion.

you can always say that there is a problem with the keyboard working sometimes and cutting out sometimes...that one is hard to actually prove that it doesn't do what you are saying...and the touch pro is definitely lighter than the mogul but it is just as sturdy in my opinion and as dash said the only minor issue is the chrome but if you get an invisishield you can protect that part easily...I've dropped my touch pro multiple times and nothing has happened to the plastic or anything

[m260gt]

well the second one came and it has the same exact problem...so the one that comes tomorrow just has to be messed up and i get the touch pro.....fingers crossed

[D/\SH]

if its not there is a quick and easy fix for that hahahahaha microwave for 3 seconds or maby less... just wait until you see a cloud of blue smoke and you will know it is done.... know way of knowing what happened... they will think shortout since everything will be fried :)

really? haha id be afraid to do that. id rather have a more subtle issue..like the one ive been having...dont know how to make it do that though.im hoping its messed up tomorrow, lol

the new phone encountered a problem :) well..enough of one for me to get a TP. So i am now a touch pro owner. it is much more sleek!! i like it so far. still getting used to navigating but it seems much better.

your going to love it and yes will take some time getting used to with vga apps and all but you will love the device and the speed with the faster processor and all that :)

[m260gt]

yeah. its cool. the g sensor is cool. but the speed seems to be the same. internet wise. or maybe even slower. theres only one version of skyfire right?
