Very strange. What SPL version doyou have? Have you used cooked roms? Anything else happend to the phone?

Here is the original HTC Trinity ROM:

1. Press on/off button + camera button + reset (using the stylus)
2. You should now be in tricolor screen.
3. Connect the usb cable.
4. Make sure you have activesync runing.
5. Install the rom provided in the link.

In the link you will find rom+radio. (Radio version 1.20)

Here is a newer radio version 1.56:

Mine was doing this earlier

seemed that their was dirt stuck in the reset button hole causing it to stick in slightly

I got this problem too. My trinity would turn on and start to fade away. But mine was a liltle more artistic:p. Many times i saw a kinda round spot in the middle of the screen that become black, then half of the screen would black out and then the rest of the screen. Sometimes i even got colors.

I noticed if a had a fully charged battery the phone would work perfectly.

But most of the time it turn on, but the screen stayed black with the retro light on.


I was told to try the unbrick exploit.

[hasan_dubais]

has anyone found a solution to this problem ?

[bujha]

anyone have a solution?

Since the Trinity / P3600 is getting old now, I believe more and more people are going to face this strange problem sooner or later.

So I thought I should save your time and tell you what you should do when your trinity starts behaving like what was described at the beginning of this thread.

YOU SHOULD DO NOTHING !!

THERE IS NO QUICK FIX

THERE IS NO WORKAROUND

THERE IS NO CHEAP SOLUTION

I have searched and tried everything mentioned in this forum that might slightly be related to the problem and all solutions failed.

So after days and days of experimenting, I gave up and sent my device to HTC dealer who called me few days later to tell me that the mother board needs to be replaced.


The dealer told me the cost will be around $213, but they said they are going to sent it back as it is, because they don't have that board model anymore!!.

Even if they had, for an old device like this , I don't think it worth that mush money to fix.

Hello,
I resolve the problem with this : Simultnous press Power and Camera buttons and softreset, you'll got bootloader, three colors mode. Perhaps a little error message like this WLAN error but if you plug usb, it's ok.
Hope this good for you (excuse my poor english)

I've had this same problem for about a year now and keep coming back to it.

Any forward momentum on solving the problem would be appreciated as I quite like this phone.

1. The phone will boot FINE without a SIM
2. It hangs like in the video (or other strange screens) as soon as I insert a SIM card (partially or fully)
3. I've tried 3 different SIM cards
4. I have no SD cards
5. I have installed 3.20.Olipro
6. An official ROM is re-installed

I must admit the phone has had a hard life (or is it just the cheap plastic coatings HTC use)

No sooner did I post this did I find a solution.

For anyone that is interested...I have managed to re-install the original HTC ROM but HAVE NOT managed to install a workable 6.5 ROM yet.

So, the answer I found was:
1. Put P3600i into bootloader mode (push camera+power+reset buttons for 2 secs and get triple colour screen)
2. Re-flash HardSPL 1.1 from my PC
3. Re-flash original HTC ROM (WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108) by agian putting P3600i into bootloader mode first

I since tried several different radio stacks but haven't noticed any difference in reception so have left the original stack on (1.46.30.11) as it gives the best phone call quality

I love the UI of the latest WM6.5 but if the P3600i doesn't run them properly I'll just have to do without.

Good luck with your own unbricking.

it was working fine for me when i put a little piece of rubber between the processor and the metallic cover of it but after 3 months i have the same problem and the paper dont work anymore.... now when i press the power button the screen is black, only the backlight is working anyone have any ideas what to do?

[Chaos Water2]

OMG WTF, as soon as I saw this thread I switched my HTC P3600 on and it started doing it I reckon this is cursed, I will upload a video onto Youtube later and show you that is what happened.

[CraXyOW3]

I had this problem myself, didnt know what i was doing wrong, altho my tri color screen did this, not the boot one.
I removed memorycard and voila, everything went smoothly.
