Screen broke, but phone still works. Any way to fix?

You are probably right. But i was hoping that this program would acknowledge the phone and show it on the computer. But that probably wont be the case. i thought if i could get the oraginal rom back on there, then i could see it on the computer and be able to run the set up on it. As i recall you have to hit skip, skip, next and what ever to load the stock rom. I couldnt do that before cause i couldnt see it. Guess i will just have to wait patiently to get it back in the mail, then see what i can do with it. Thanks.

As long as you can establish an activesync connection, you "should" be able to see the screen. I may be flashing again later tonight, I'll do it with the pc interface and see how far I can get.

You're gonna love this.

Hooked the phone up to usb, and let activesync connect.

OpenedEveryWAN

Ran the Shipped exe.

Activesync broke the connection, as was expected. Watched to updater go to 100, and reset the phone.

Left the usb cable plugged in, and watched the phone so I could see what was going on and let you know.

Got the usual long wait, first run, blah blah blah. Then I heard the activesync link!

When Activesync showed connected and asked to set up the partnership stuff, I hit cancel, as I always do when flash dancing. No need to do a full sync when I'm just going to flash right away again.

Well, after the cancel, it shows connected, so I went back to EveryWAN and hit connect. It got the stuff about finding a phone without the software, and I agreed to let it install. It did, and up popped the screen that says tap the screen to set up your phone.

I clicked on the pc's phone screen, and it registered, and switched to the little crosshair screen!

No, that screen I could NOT do from the pc, but this is the ONLY time you will have to touch the phone. Use the stylus and get as close as you can to where you are supposed to tap. Center, Upper left, lower left, lower right, upper right. It may take a couple tries to get it right, but once you do, full control is back to EveryWAN!

So, YES, if your screen is dead, and you CAN get activesync to connect to the phone, you CAN use this to flash back to shipped, and of course I assume then run the relocker and you're good to go!

The relocker is the only part I didn't try. I'm dancing tonight.

Glad to have helped, you, and maybe lots of others too!

pssst, see that little "Thanks" button? Right over there--->?
That's all I ask.

This is great news. Thank you for testing it. At least i can get to where it says "tap screen to set up phone". That was the hard part cause you couldnt tell when it said to do that. Im sure i can handle the little crosses though. Like you said, may take a couple times, but that has happened when i COULD see the screen. lol. Hopefully ill get my phone today. Thanks again for all your help. (and i did hit the thank you button) just wish it could have been more than once.!

Hey no problem. I'm liking that program more and more. It can remotely install my cabs for me, and i'm starting to play with it's built in registry editor. Seems like this will be a really handy tool to have around!
