Please help me to fix my problem

My phone cant turn on it only shows the tmobile screen and windows screen over and over

  • Anonymous Apr 30, 2008

    I've had the same issue. It continually loops through the two screens. If I take the SIM card out and turn on it comes out of the loop, but obviously I have no service.

Means your firmware is corrupt. the only way to get you back in your device is to do a hart reset via your sw keys.....

WARNING, This will delete everything that is stored on your device, and unless your computer can recognize your device, you wont be able to get it back.

in order to the the software reset, the device needs to be fully off. preferably, take the battery out of the phone before you get started.

press and hold the 'soft keys' (buttons above the back arrow and home keys, they have a line on them) and hold those down. while you are doing that, press and hold your power button for about 3 (three) seconds and release the power button. the phone should begin to turn on but then it should go to a black DAS screen with white writing. at this time you can release the Soft keys.

press the green call button to reset the device. it will reboot and you should be able to get in your phone. if this fails and if the computer does not recognize the device, you will have to contact either your phone provider or HTC to replace the device.

My tmobile dash freezes every time i try to start.

Turn the handheld off, hold the two soft keys (the dashes to the left and right of the phone buttons) hold the power button for 1-2 seconds and then release the soft keys. It should prompt you to clear storage. The “send” button is considered as the green phone button.

How to Hard Reset a T-Mobile Dash with operating system: 1. Select Start
2. Select Accessories
3. Clear Storage
4. Type in 1234
5. Select Yes

My phone will not turn on weird stuff !

Turn off phone, remove Media STORAGE card, not the SIM card.  Reboot phone without storage card and it should go to home screen.  Then replace STORAGE card and enjoy! :o)

Dash stuck on opening TMobile screen

The Windows Mobile installation may be corrupted.
The only way to fix that problem is by re-installing the windows software on the phone.
You can get the software for the T-mobile dash at the following link: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
Be warned that if you use this method most of the data on the phone will be lost, like text messages and etc. Your contacts should be fine as the are stored on the SIM Card and if you have been syncing your contacts with your PC then they should get loaded when you do the up
