I'm wrestling for the last 3 days with my qtek after the phone died. I tried different versions and combinations of ROM and RSU, 3.16.13, 3.17.03, XDA Develpers ROM 1.1 and RSU's 4.20.1 and other 2 that were inthe reapir.zip fail I received from Ricardo Gomes.
Everytime the Upgrade utility stops at 1% and asks for reset. Only yesterday night, with Special edition 1.1 the sync with the pc works again, but the phone problmem remains. I'm lost.
Can you think with me what can be done? I need your expertiese.
Thank you

Can you explain died in more detail? Was it during an upgrade etc..?
No, it was during making a regular call. The only "irregular" thing was that the unit was popping dialogues saying that I need to recharge the battery. I reseted the unit during the calling attempt and next thing the light didn't work, and when put it on the craddle the charge indicator didn't work neither (both things, the light and the charching indicator still don't work).
When I saw that it's not coming back, I started to work on flashing the ROM, etc.
The unit was working stable with ROM 3.17.03 from O2 UK and RSU 4.20.1
untill this happenned.
should I try CE2003?
I feel stupid. After all what I worked for 3 days to recover the unit, all ineeded to do was a hard reset. Everything is ok now. Thank you.

ok guys, ive been hanging around this forum for some time (even though i havent participated <<< bad boy =P)
the thing is my phone kinda hangs, so i have to soft reset it, but wen it loads again, it stays on the cingular splash screen and just hangs, even though the LED's on top flash, but i cant do anything, i tried soft resetting again, but same thing, i tried removing battery, also no use...so the only option i had to hard reset it..
and after the torture of restoring all the applications and contacs and info, everything was fine till it froze again, so after the soft reset, same problem occured as above... >.<
my device is an unlocked cingular 8125, no overclock no nothing...only added a 1gb mini sd...
any suggestions??
What software do you have installed? It maybe a software issue ? After a hard reset try using it a day w/o loading your software to see if the problem occurs again. Then load your software one by one until the problem comes back. That's probably what I would do.
well its no specific software, it almost happened 2day too.
the first time i did the hard reset, last install i did was install PHONEPROFILE, then the 2nd hard reset, last app i installed was morphgear. and a couple of hours ago, i resarted, it took time to load back but it finally loaded.
could this be a rom problem?
May be your minisd - reports of this have been due to the card. try it a while without the card and if it made a difference format the card on the device with storage tools (google it). Which rom are you using? an upgrade in rom may solve your problems and give you a faster device.
this is wat i get wen i click on device info:
Rom version: 1.8.11.1 WWE
rom date : 11/24/05
radio version: 01.09.11
protocol version: 4.0.13.20
extrom version: 1.8.11.103
does it look bad? =S
(the date give me the idea that the rom needs updating maybe??)
as i said, this device had no "modding", no rom upgrades, no nothing..
i bought the phone, popped in the mini sd, unlocked the device using lokiwiz 0.2b
nothing else
Would go for an aku2 rom, the official leaked cingular one ftp://xda:[email protected]_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
Would suggest still try the phone without minisd in and if you do decide to upgrade rom back everything up.
as for software wise morphgear works fine on my device so i doubt its that i noticed that when i installed phonealarm on my fone it lagged to **** everything. gl on getting it fixed
ok, i searched around the forum for the definition of a rom and wat it does..
i KNOW that a rom is kinda like the basic files to run the device, but wat other jobs will it do? and wat changes will i c if i upgrade to AKU2 , and is there a ROM that has built-in arabic support? (i.e. arabic is supported w/o any 3rd party software)
I have a Sprint Mogul that is less then 3 months old that I update about two months ago to the newest rom out to get my BT headset to work (still didn't). Now in the last 4 days the phone either won't start or keeps shutting off an rebooting itself. I get no errors and every once in a while the phone will act normal for about 20 minutes then go back to doing it. I'm about to flash it again with the same rom but is there any other solution... Help!!
I would recommend reflashing the ROM. if you're using the stock rom, and you haven't done the hard-spl hack, that will probably take care of the problem.
Alternately, you could try doing the latest mods and install a good custom firmware, which could take care of the problems and give you Rev A and GPS, which I find to be fun, if nothing else.
do you have any links to these suggestions... I tried the rom update and the phone was fine for 12 hours then went back to its old ways.... thanks for your reply.
everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great
Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer
I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work
When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?
the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.
so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.
well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.
Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards
I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...
I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.
if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom
Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input
Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.
Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.
What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...
Hi.
My friend got her Galaxy no more than two weeks ago, and I installed the newest Darky ROM (10.1) on her phone, since it has been working fine on my own Galaxy S.
The problem is that her phone just stopped working... just like that.
She thought the battery was drained, so she charged it, and when booting it up it would remain in the samsung logo (boot screen).
Well I put it into recovery and formatted it into factory settings and thought it would be fine. Well it kinda worked: it started up to the setup wizard, choose language, insert SIM card etc. and finally when clicked the complete button, the screen stayed black and few seconds later a message came saying that there has been an error with the android setup configuration.
This is exactly the same phone as I have and mine is working perfectly fine. Dont understand why this phone is acting up.
Will re-flashing it with the same Darky ROM fix this?? The phone has got warranty, but I dont think they'll accept it anymore cause of the custom ROM I put in.
I also have a video of this, but since they assume I'm a spammer, I cannot insert any links for now.
EDIT: Problem solved --> reflashed with Darky's ROM, now working fine. Thank you both slaphead20 & MasterJam882
you can try reflash...or darkys ressurection...or ezbase rom
Just flash an official rom from www.samfirmware.com.
If u still have bugs and errors u know it's a faulty phone and u can send it to samsung without the fear that they wont accept because its an official ROM every user gets over KIES.

There is a problem. Phone spontaneously freezes and reboots .. The last hope for your forum .. Immediately apologize for my English. I use google translator.
The phone was in the store with 74 CU firmware. Put Root, Russian patch cmw. Everything was fine, but the phone did not work a day, and they almost never used, and the use of the network in the first place. I was advised to calibrate the battery, and the program defy baseband. I'm not used the phone. A few days later there were complaints that the phone periodically freezes and goes to reboot ... Only helps the removal of the battery ... When I received it a few days, it was impossible to use it. In any action it hangs. That is, I press the menu, configuration vayfay and everything freezes. I tried to flash the firmware 139. redlayt through 3.9. In airplane mode the phone is not hung up about .. So I thought that the case in GSM module .. But he, too, hung .. In the end, I installed CyanogenMod 7. Phone is better, but sometimes it still hangs. And it is not logical and unexpected. Working half a day. Then suddenly you come into a notebook and all ... crashed. In the case of market crashes.
I tried to change the CPU frequency. voltage. I tried to dump the entire cache and flash again .. does not help. It is your last hope. Perhaps this marriage. Help please.
full sbf
2.3.6 uk 188 defy full sbf wifi does not work properly the signal drops or reboot motorola closed bootloader s*ck
Anyone can help me? =(
have to send back this phone to CU =(((( so bad
I'm in uk with a second hand defy from eBay. Was just about to start a new thread detailing my woes. I've tried flashing several SBFs with no joy. Lots of fcs and reboots sometimes frequent sometes and hour apart. Seems to be mainly whilst using gps even happens when in flight mode.
Could it be incompatible radios? I would have though I would have problems with wifi or signal but I do not.
I've flashed the stock uk orange 2.2 rom and also tried the stock 2.3.4 sbf.
My next port of call was going to be cyanogen mod, however I am unable to install as I can find no way to instal a custom recovery. I am able to atchive root using super one click. However this OS where the success ends.
If someone could indicate a fool proof way of instantly CWM and CM I believe this rom will be my last hope, although ready the first post in this thread makes me think otherwise :-(
Your thought are welcome
Cheers
