mogul, red green blue screen?

[PatchPPC]

The exit boot loader program did nothing for me, and I can't get an activesync connection OR a windows mobile device center one either.

I'm seeing if I can do anything with a MicroSD card now.
Any suggestions beyond the ext bootldr idea?

I have had my Mogul for 11 months. It has worked fine and I have been happy with it. One day I also got the Rainbow color screen. I have never loaded any custom ROMs. What i found is that the isue is with the serial connection on the device. as stated above, when I plugged in the "Y" cable that has the round 1/16" headphone jack, the device would boot up fine. It will not boot with the dual USB "Y" cable. Not sure why? (I hate the strange USB connection and the fact that I cannot get a 3.5mm headphone connection) Anyway. I also had issues with the active sync function. the USB cable was fine as the phone showed charge when connected to the USB port. I swapped to the Dual USB "Y" cord and Now when I plugged in the junk USB headphone that came with the phone into the USB "Y" cord Active Sync worked. Not sure Why but I need it to work until I can get a replacement. I may see if there is a loose connection on the USB connector on the device. If you care for the device, the only part that gets wear is the connector. (I have a Invis-a-shield screen protector on it so the screen is still perfect!)
I Hope this helps someone.

It's a hardware error. It will keep coming back. You should have never purchased a Mogul... trash phone...

I like a lot of other people thought the shortcomings of the 6700 would be solved somewhat in the Mogul. Not at all, there are fewer problems in the 6700. The only thing that keeps me with the Mogul is true GPS and more storage. If it weren't for that, I'd be out.

And if you do upgrade to the Touch Pro? You can trade the obtrusive small Mogul white spot for the less obtrusive but far larger TP oily spot. The failure prone cheap design USB port is replaced with the failure prone cheap design keyboard cable attachment. Your low memory problems are a thing of the past, welcome to the "my battery sucks" age. And so you won't pine for your old Mogul too much, you get to keep the one usb port does it all design that necessitates a headset adapter that stresses out the cheap port even more and the poor preforming video drivers that made the Mogul so endearing.

The TP is my 3rd and probably final HTC DESIGNED device. HTC designs for the spec sheet, not real world usage. They cut corners to save a few pennies per phone and we get nailed with insurance deductible and device repair price increases to cover the high failure rate. The only way I end up with a TP2 is the same way I ended up with a TP, a free replacement.

That's nothing new to me. I know the Touch Pro has issues. It is such a shame. I have played with the Vogue though and it seems to hold up great. Only real issues is some dark spots can occur. Really though, the Vogue will be my last HTC Device. I just find it rediculous that these Asian-based manufactures cut corners in every posible way. What makes it worse is when Verizon cripples an already limited phone...

My phone is having the red, green, blue and white screen problem and I am able to get around it by just plugging in a charger or the wired headset. The other thing i noticed on my phone is that the sound is not working. If I do a reboot ... the sound will work for a little while, then it stops working. The sound will work if i plug in my wired headset .. which is a royal pain. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution for the no sound on the mogul? I didn't if you guys that were having the red, green, blue, white problem were also having the no sound problem.

I think you are having a hardware failure Burt. Time for a replacement.
