Weird Tri-Color Screen Appearances

[JagsLive]

hi All

I got this brand new at&t 8525 two weeks ago with new at&t ROM(2.15.502.3) & Radio(1.40.30.00) pre-installed. It was working fine up untill 2 days ago when it froze(froze many times in 2 weeks but re-started normally). Power button didn't work, took battery out & inserted back(was plugged in). Tri-Color screen appeared right away. Again took the battery out & put it back, same Tri-Color screen appeared even without pressing power button.

Got scared & took battery out 3rd time & left it out for 5 minutes, inserted back, turned on & it worked just fine for 2 days.

Just now after Netfront 3.3 installation when it restarted, Tri-Color screen appeared again. Took battery out for few minutes & its working just fine again(posting this from same 8525).

I have NOT done any ROM / Radio / OS upgrades. Though I have installed TCPMP, Opera 8.65b, Skype etc on 2GB storage card.

Used Cingular 8525 for six months & never saw tri-color screen.

Any ideas / suggestions PLEASE...! Many, many thanx in advance

You will need to download the ROM from HTC's website and see if this helps out. If so, add your after market apps back one-by-one and monitor the results. http://www.htcamerica.net/support/docs/RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00 _108_Ship.exe

The Tri-color screen is the boot loader area. Usually not a good thing to see unless you are in the process of flashing your ROM

i had this happen once on one of the 8525's i had.. and you might want to consider sending that thing in for warranty repair... Mine did that a couple of times right before it froze permanently...

I would definitely try flashing the official rom, i would not use a cooked rom until this issue is sorted out just in case you have to send it back under warranty!
