Problem with my XDA II (Hard Reset Involved)

Has anybody experienced not being able to turn on their XDA II's anymore?
I already experienced it twice and the first time, it ran out of battery and I don't think the backup battery was drained yet. It still had backup battery and when I tried turning it back on, it won't. I plugged it but it still won't. Tried soft reset and it still won't. The last option was hard reset and that was the only time it turned on.
The second time was just yesterday where I'm 100% sure that the main battery was still full. I wasn't doing anything with it when I noticed that the green light wasn't blinking anymore. I tried turning it on and the same thing happened, NOTHING. So I needed to hard reset again and that was the only time it went on again.
Does anybody know the reason why it happened?
Stuff I have installed when it happened:
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Time
Resco Explorer
Astraware Bejeweled (Demo)
Astraware Mummy Maze (Demo)
DigYs Billiard Master
Astraware GTS Racing
Handmark Monopoly
Handmark Scrabble
Valentin Iliescu Chess
Flash Player 6
Tilanosoft PocketNotepad
ROM Version: 1.66.00 WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
Please help me..
I really have no idea why this is happening.
HELP...

Hi,I am from india and i am facing the same problem like yours and I have a O2 XDA2
ROM Version: 1.66.00 WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
I have done the hard reset i think more than 4 times,every second day i have to hard reset it due to this problem!!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

as a good practice to see whether it's s/w or h/w problem ... hard reset the device and try spending 4-5 days without any s/w except the pure OS ... then try to install the applications one at a time.
one advice would be to upgrade to ROM 1.72

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have experienced this too, 3 times. During the third time, I remember the last app. used was the MS reader reading a dictionary file from the SD card, and the phone was turn off without quitting the app. After hard resetting, tried few more times with the app. and read the same file, and turn off the device with the app. running. It seems that the MS reader really causing the hang.
Could the MS reader the culprit?

Hi Guys,
Finally i think i have found the solution for this one....i installed the newer upgraded version of firmware...i.e. from 1.66 to 1.72 and since then i did not hard reset my phone and wish it remains the same...its been more than 5 days now...previously i had to hard reset it every second day!!!
I have my fingers crossed and hope it remains this way..!!!
seeya guys...cheers!!!!

jasanand,
Did you install same apps? I have a feeling that it only happens with
1.66WWE ROM. Are the people who experience constant hard resets have ROM 1.66WWE?

I have installed lots of softwares on my xda2 after i upgraded to 1.72 and its working fine......as far as i am concerned upgrading my xda2 was a good decission...!!
CHEERS

ROM/Radio upgrade problems.

I've attempted upping the Radio ROM on my O2 XDA Exec to 1.06.00 following the instructions here. Everything went wrong at first - I got the USB v1.00 screen, but I followed the instructions and the Radio update went OK.
Unfortunatly, after soft resetting and going into the control panel, clicking the Phone applet just hangs my Exec. The phone works, but I can't change the settings through either the control panel or from the phone > menu > options.
So I hard reset and let O2 do its thing, choosing corporate when presented. Still does it. Of doesn't rather. So I tried downgrading the Radio back down to 1.04.02 but the same thing occurs. Then I grab the latest 50Mb+ ROM update from O2. Tried it just now after 30 minutes - still, the phone applet won't work.
Any tips?

++ Edit ++
Fixed. I left it switched off for 20 minutes and once I switched it on, there it was, albeit with all fields blank. Tried a few things and managed to get it working smoothly again.
Odd...
++ Edit #2 ++
It does it when there is an SD card inserted. Ooo...

BTW, the 1.08 ROM update is already posted

Problems remain.
I can't get into the 2nd tab under the Notifications settings. It hangs as before. :?

Try upgrade to 1.08
Maybe this will work

The radio seems fine, but I've now discovered that Windows Media Player won't work.
Should I try reflashing everything again with the updated ROM from O2's site?

maybe re-do everything. Flash using a shipping ROM then upgrade radio from there

I'm beginning to think that maybe the memory isn't completly wiped and remnants are interfering with the operation of the new software.

I heard sometimes it is possible

2nd hard reset in 12 hours!!

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)

Wizard is Spontaneously Soft-Resetting - help/advice please?

I have a Qtek 9100 with the following details
IPL 2.17
SPL 2.17
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
and
ROM version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
ROM date: 2/10/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.17.7.102
My question/concern is as follows:
As of recently, my beautiful wizard has been spontaneously soft-resetting. When this problem starts, it will reset itself a couple of times before it finally boots up, and when it does boot up, i have problems making and recieveing calls, not to mention the slower than usual perfomance.
I have performed a hard-reset to see if any programs are causing this. So far I am operating with no installed software (other than what it comes with). The problem is still present.
Before my hard-reset I was using pocket breeze, spb plus, pocket weather, resco soduko, etc etc, with no noticable perfomance lag.
I have not messed around with anything except for the A2DP hack so I can use my HT820 headset. This worked for a while until an unexpected soft-reset, and I had to re-install the CAB and re-pair my headset.
I HAVE NOT installed the A2DP hack on my wizard since the last hard-reset.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading extensively about upgrading my rom and radio versions, but I want to see if there is any other solution as I am not yet 100% sure how to perform the upgrades.

thanks, i already searched those topics.
I am more concerned now about the radio, because I dont seem to be able to make or recieve calls on the first or second try.
do you think that if the rom and/or radio rom were updated, i could fix this problem?

When I first got my K-Jam, I loaded it up with every app I used on my old PocketPC.
Mine rebooted constantly to (seemed like once an hour sometimes).
I did a hard reset and didn't load anything on there.
No rebooting.
Installed my first app.
No rebooting
Installed my next app
no rebooting
After I got all my apps loaded (which I did over a few days), I still had no probs.
Now comes the today plugins.
Installed my first one
no rebooting
Installed the second one
rebooting
Moral to the story, do a hard reset (or upgrade to the newest ROM if you've been holding off) and run like that for a few days, if it doesn't reboot on you, it's an app or a plugin.

problem with wm6

i installed wm6 the other day on my spvc500 and everything went well.
the phone started, but when i gave it a restart, it just wouldnt connect to my network...
it stays in NO service state and does nothing...
i really dont know what to do...please, help me...
i'm freakin for not knowing what to do....

WM6 problem & SPVC 500
HI,
I had the same problem and I know explanations.
Problem is in software which you installed after flashing WM6 to your SPV.
When you installing software everything is working on 100% ,but after restaring mobile
phone starting very long time ,doesn't have signal and time on main screen.
You have only one option ,re-flash WM6 again ![/COLOR]
Uninstall software hasn't influence!!!
be carefully with installation new software, I don't know where is problem exactly >
Here is list of software which is working without problems on my phone:
Extreme agenda 3.02
Smart explorer 2.1.4.553
SP Task Manager 2.1.1.315
Slovo ED
Adobe reader
Don't install :
profile switcher
cele task
If you are using different software you have only one way how to find "good" and "wrong" software.
After reflashing WM6 install only one program and restart the phone if everything will be working program is OK.
But if no you have to reflash WM6 again !!!
Be careful, all your data will be lost.

I got the same problem, after installing some software i got no network anymore.
Also the menue did not respond anymore on pressing 'Start'-button
I had to flash my Amadeus again, because also a hard-reset didn't help.
Now i think i have installed all the software again and it works still well
edit: 10 minutes after i rebooted my amadeus and BANG, nothing works anymore.
Crap.
I think the problem is 'facade', a tool to show a schedule on the homescreen.

it all works now
well, i managed to solve my problem...
the thing was to flash this WM6 and now everything works jut fine...
i can finally say that i am pleased with my c500!

Before I try this Version of WM6: Do you use Facade?
I flashed my Amadeus with WM5, installed Facade, rebooted and nothing worked. After that I flashed WM 6, did not install Facade and everything is ok

I got the same problem, but after hard reset everything was ok, so reflashing WM6 was not necessary.
