T-Mobile MDA Keys Hang.

[mobby_reload]

Hello everyone,
I am new to Windows Mobiles. I have bought a used T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), The problem with this is all the keys except Power Button, Align Screen & Camera button hangs after a minute or two the mobile is turned-on. Nothing works. I have to use soft keys to make a call. If I press Camera button the camera interface appears, when I close it, all keys started to work normally but again after one or two minutes it hangs and I would have to again use the same technique to make them work. Sometimes all the keys work normally for more than a minute but again hangs. I have searched in all the system settings & I can't find any option to configure it. I have searched many threads on this site to solve this problem but can't find the appropriate answer. It seems to me someone have burned wrong ROM or did something wrong with its ROM for which it is acting like this. Given are the specs of ROM.

IPL/SPL = 2.26. G3
T-Mobile ROM.
I am using SIM of my operator other than T-Mobile. (SIM Unlocked)

Also If I try to Hard-Reset the phone, When It say me to "Press Send to restore factory default settings or anyother key to quite", All keys hangs and I have to make a soft reset to get into working.

Can anyone tell me what the problem and how can i solve it ?
How do I know whether its CID Unlocked or not ?
Does Upgrading/Reinstalling the ROM will solve the problem ?
Is it hardware problem ?

Thanks in advance.

I also have did a hard-reset by following the given procedure.
Start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
It installed the OS after boot and my installed softwares disappeared. Which means it really hard-reseted itself, But still the problem isn't solved.

I am pretty much sure now its ROM/Hardware problem !!
Any idea about the solution ?

Have you tried to flash a new ROM yet? That may solve the problem, it made my power button work again.

I'm not sure, but that sounds to be seems like hardware problems. I'm not sure if that screen actually has anything to do with the ROM at all, which at best, it is IPL related? I would suggest you to try an offical T-Mobile ROM, which includes everything (i.e. IPL, SPL, and ROM) and see if this problem persists.

Thanks for your replies. Can you please tell me from where I can find the Official T-Mobile ROM, I have searched on this site & xda-developers ftp site a lot, Some links are broken and somewhere FTP requires authentication. Also can't find it on Google. I think ruu_prodigy_1081002_104_10910_tmo_usa_ship is the original ROM file but can't find it anywhere except the T-mobile site which require a valid T-mobile no. Can you post some valid like here to download the file.

Thanks again.

If you were to go Wiki, at the ROM table page, bottom line, you would to find this

http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/

which should be a global site (if not US site), and if you go into it, 'MDA Vario', there is a ROM EXE to update to AKU. I saw it as UK which probably because I have an UK ip, you try going in and see if you have US version instead.

Also, for the TMobile US, you can consider getting a PAYG card just to get a valid tmobile number to get into the page to download stuff, IF you are sure there are something there (e.g. and if PAYG is cheap)

Ok, I got the UK version. I'll give it a try.

Well, I have tried Official ROM. But the problem is still there. I am also now pretty much sure that its a hardware problem. I guess the mobile needs to go to scrap now.
