OS/GSM/AP upgrade is performed via RUU download from RMAIII or customer web.
Service center is required to make the first master unit via RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility).
RUU package is able to download from HTC RMAIII
Website
http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/rmaiii/or customer website with some easy step.
Make sure your master unit is fully charged before starting download.
Based on encoded mechanism for locking of CID and language, service center is able
to purchase some 128 MB encoded mini-SD card from HTC for ROM image download purpose.
The following steps will lead you how to build your master unit via :
1. RUU mechanism.
2. New sample unit
Also the procedure is able to create mini-SD card for re-flash purpose, then for each repair unit,
you only need to do re-flash via mini-SD card. You could decide how many mini-SD cards you
need for this purpose depend on your needed. You can send PO to HTC for purchasing the
encoded mini-SD card, material description is as follows
“Prodigy re-flash card, 128 MB”
Caution: It is suggested to re-flash unit under boot-loader mode, once re-flash process is
not successful, please enter boot-loader mode and re-flash again.

Before attempt repairing the unit, make sure the type of reported failure could be clearly
reproduced; otherwise, check with the customer or distributor once again to identify the problem
correctly. The following are failure symptoms that are typical by misjudgment
No. Item Possibility
1
2 Battery discharges
No Power even the
power button is pressed
quickly
charged
Main Battery low power exhausted.
While Back Light is turned OFF, the surrounding lighting will be
reflected on the panel and in a dim location, it looks like the unit is
turned OFF.
According to the Power Management settings, the units will be
switched OFF automatically.
The battery life depends on the devices being used in mini-SD
Card Slot, and frequency of use of the Back light. These
functions consume a lot of energy.
Operating with front light ON, or using high energy consumption
devices such as mini-SD Memory Card will drain out the battery
pack faster.
Using AC adapter that is NOT supplied with the unit. 3 Battery cannot be
Charging the battery while operating the unit with heavy loadings
could cause the temperature inside the unit to build up which
could cause the unit stop charging. At this moment, the LED
indicator will flash Yellow to notify user that the charging has
been stopped. Or the temperature is extremely low will also stop
charging.
Since the extreme high or low temperature will cause the battery
to discharge quickly, it has been designed to cut battery charge
below 0℃ and above 35~40℃ to protect the battery pack.
4 Cannot make
communications via
mobile phones through
exclusive cable.
If the unit could pass the test with Loop back Interface card, the
possibility of unit malfunction becomes low. Then the following
items could be the reason of problem such as location, timing,
signal strength, service provider’s mixed up, or problem with the
mobile itself. Or could be incompatibility issue.
Cards which are not being pre-formatted. 5 Cannot use mini-SD

Card not inserted completely, or bad contact between connector
contacts.
For LCD panel’s normal behavior , it is hard to find a p anel without
any bad pixel. Once the numbers of dots and the distance
between them are within the specifications, it is allowed.
Could be wrong operation. 7 Touch Screen or
Screen not properly aligned with the stylus calibration.
Check the Front Light settings in Power Management settings
When Battery low, the music playback becomes difficult and the
volume could become lower.
Could be an incompatible software

Could be insufficient memory. Check amount of system memory.
Software being used sometimes is not fully compatible with the

make sure the warm /hard reset has been executed and try to reproduce the
I.There are two types diagnostic card, the purpose is to support different SPL version,
One is supported unit’s SPL version under V1.03, another one is supported unit’s
SPL version beyond V1.05 above. Both cards will provide to repair center, In order
to identify card type vs. SPL version, We marked “ SPL 1.05” on the label of
diagnostic card. If your on hand diagnostic card can not enter diagnostic mode.
Please check unit’s SPL version, The match table is as follows.
