One small test for all TP CDMA/GSM user
 

Dear all TP CDMA/GSM users,

PS: I dont have any problem with my device and i am able to boot my device, this test is just to confirm few things and myt be helpful for others as well.

I have HTC TP CDMA from SPRINT, and unfortunately i dont have extUSB cable so i use MINI USB

THE SCENARIO:

My device is going to bootloader(tri color screen) without pressing any keys [power+vol_down+reset] when i connect a MINI usb cable to device(which is off) and connect to PC.

I am not sure if this is happening only with my device. I request some Experts to comment on this behavior :) .

Please make sure u are using normal MINI USB cable, not eXTUSB cable

TEST PROCEDURE:

- Switch off your device
- Connect a MINI USB cable to device.
- Connect the cable to PC
- Check if device automatically power on and goes to bootloader

Atleast for me this will automatically switches on my device and goes to bootloader screen.

Thanks
Happy

Nothing happening here other than it charging the phone. Tried with Sprint and Verizon TP.

could be a stuck button or few. also I suppose some usb cords could do this and not others.

1] I have tried with at least 3 different mini usb cables, but same behavior with all cables.
2] I am able to boot normally, without connecting the other end of the usb cable to pc (cable is connected only to device) and manually switch on the button.
3] I am able to launch bootloader with normal procedure [power+vol_down+reset] and without connecting to mini usb cable.

Any guess now :)

That's not normal behavior... I suggest you do one of two things... Take it in to the repair center for a possible replacement... Or two... Do not plug it in when it is off and then turn it on while plugged in. This might avoid your entire issue.

Dear AZTECHKA,

As i mentioned in my first post , i dont have any problem with my cell and it is working normally. I do not connect my cell to cable while booting but i do it only when flashing new ROMs .. I just wanted to know if this is happening only with me and if yes y only with me :lol: and also wanted to knwo if it will affect my device.


And i cannot replace the cell it is not under warranty and im in india ryt now.

Thanks

Got ya. That makes alot of sense... Sorry for not reading more closely.
I had my TP for almost 2 years and my wife now has it and I can only state that I have never had the problem you are experiencing.
I've used many different cables too.
Another thing you can try is buying a replacement HTC cable for your phone. They sell them very inexpensively on Amazon.com.
See if that takes care of your issue.
