What excatly takes place at/during the process of booting up (soft reset)?
Where does the registry fall in place, is it at the boot 1st screen, 2nd boot screen or the span of seconds after that?
Does the (init) part within the registry get involved during then?
I just want to figure out the delay part of the whole thing and what might be causing the hang, slow or fast booting :roll:

Greetings,
I have a huge brick problem.
Have installed TCPMP .81 (my PDA:wm6 AP One Touch rom) on the grounds that it would solve interference issues. Once installed, it started up in portrait. So, whilst perusing for a suitable fix I ‘inadvertently’ installed ATIFix.cab expecting it to have some indirect beneficial effect. However, I now have a situation where during the initial boot sequence the loader hangs.
Is there a get out of jail free on this one or am I looking at some major FUBAR.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to re-flash the Rom?
I'm a new user of an Ameo and have had the boot screen hang twice now- not using ATIFix, but in my case it was trying to change the default SIP to Touchpal the 1st time, and having an incorrect GPS assignment in the other (I think!)
Only way out was a cold boot- luckily I had SpB Backup installed & current
Cold boot is: hold volume slider down, while pushing soft reset button.
Seems like the OS loader is a bit sensitive!
I have owned this since new in Feb. 06. Bought a new battery in August this year as the old one was not holding a long charge. Now in the past couple of weeks....I have the following symptons;
1- Hard to boot up, as in the first blue screen lighting up and then in 5-15 seconds it automatically reboots itself and cycles doing the same thing 3-4 times before shutting down. Sometimes it will get to the 'Mobile' loading screen before doing the same thing. HTC said over the phone that the unit is 'dead'....particularly since we couldn't get it to boot up so that we could do a hard reset. After continuing for the last week to get a hard reset started on power up.....I was able to get it to hard reset yesterday and the phone turned on and everything worked. But then in the middle of my second call using it again...it shut down.
It may take hours to try to get the phone on as it just 'cycles' over and over again trying to boot up. Once in a while it will boot up,...right now it is on.....but I can't rely on it to make a call as it will turn off suddenly.
Is this phone ready for the bone-yard? ....or is there some CPR that can be done?
Oh,....it has the latest ROM from HTC and runs on the original WM5,....no other programs loaded back on it after the hard reset (not that it matters as the phone still has problems turning on and if it gets on....it may randomly shut down
my phone hang with wite htc logo.i tride to hard reset,i faild.i could not put the device in boot loader mode.please help me. thank you
additional details please?
like what did you do before it starts to hang at boot screan, what hacks do you have installed e.e. magldr, hspl, sspl ??
those would really help
by the way you sure you cannot boot into bootloader the tri-colour screen?
To put the device into bootloader mode,
hold the volume down button and press the reset button, or else, switch off the phone (by removing battery), hold the volume down button while you switch it on. This must take you to the tricolor bootloader.
The stuck might have caused due to improper flash or something which doesn't match, a bad radio or so.
Its important for you to get into the bootloader, to flash either from Sync or SD Card.
All the best.

So, you said you cant go into bootloader mode.
How about retry it but following this way.
-Remove your battery and wait for minutes (maybe 10 minutes)
-Reinsert the battery. Dont turn it on.
-Charge your phone and check whether the phone is charging (you should check the led indicator. if it is full, the color should be green).
-After that, press volume down button and power on button at the same time (dont miss it).
-If you still cant go into bootloader mode, I would suggest you to bring it to Repair center.
Goodluck
I see, its not going into the bootloader, so can the problem be with the volume buttons? Are you sure they are functional?
Is your phone turning on, getting to the HTC logo and then turning off again by itself? This was happening to me just tonight. Just try putting the battery in the freezer for 20 minutes or so. That did the trick for me.
hello
thanks guys,i tried every thingas you said.no use.so i took the device to service center.they told me that,the only thing is to recover the phone is replacing the mother board.it is costing nearly 200 usd.

Which one was it a bad connection with your processor from overheating or machanical shock, or was it a bad NAND chip? These are the two things I was thinking as I have been following this thread.

i think it is because bad nand chip.
Was the phone functional before? What OS you had?
I've seen this on about 3-4 of the over 75 HD2's I've JTAG'ed. It's a faulty NAND chip that overheats causing this problem. Unfortunately, there is no logical fix for this.
While i am a noob for Android/Smartphones, I am kinda a geek for pc's... With that in mind, I ask: Why doesn't someone create a program that can be downloaded and placed on a SD card that will run during a smartphones boot up that will start the phone in a "Safe mode" and allow users to fix them.
I currently have a Samsung that keeps freezing when the logo appears. I have attempted to perform a "Soft reset" but it still freezes. I don't know were to turn, so here I am....
I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum... Any help with were i should go from here will be greatly appreciated.
try charging it and turning it on....or try to repeatedly take out the battery and then turning it back on.....it happens sometimes one mine
You also could run a logcat to see where the phone is hanging.
Are you running stock?

will the phone go to download-mode? hold the volume-/camera/power for about 10secs it should get to a download screen so it can be reflashed, otherwise... well you know...
Sometimes this startup hanging happens for me & it will only boot w/o the SD card. Give that a shot.
This happens to me several times a month. The only solution that works consistently for me is:
1. Remove the battery
2. Wait for several minutes (Seems that some component needs to cool down, or capacitors need to drain, or something)
3. Then plug the battery back in
4. Reboot
i have found that when you hold down the Phone button for about a minute or so after you remove the battery , the phone will vibrate , do not remove your finger until the phone vibrates ...and it should boot from there.
Solution
I was talking to a tech rep at Virgin Mobile one day, and asked him if this was a common problem (knowing already that it was). Sparing you the details, what he told me is that when the intercept boots up, something gets jammed up with the 3G. And then the phone locks in the flashing logo phase. Now, EVERY single time I shut my phone down, I put it in airplane mode. It then reboots in airplane mode, and I almost never have a problem (meaning two or three times in the last 6 months). When is does happen, I reboot it again, and it boots right up. I presume that if need be, take it into a place with no signal and reboot it then.
Today after i power up my phone its stuck in bootloop, logo comes and again restarts.
i have tried every combination of keys but i can't get anywhere.
i wonder what the problem is. and how to solve, i have to wait for some time till shops open and i
can take it to a service center, but few days a go i got the battery replaced as the old one didn't had
enough backup time, and the new one as well.
In the video attached im not pressing any buttons but its doing itself
Hold power button down for at least a minute.
It should hard reboot in about 30 seconds I think it is.
If it boots it may go into safe mode or you can try booting into safe mode to retrieve data. It may boot normally but I doubt it.
If it won't go into safe mode, factory reset if you can get it to go into the boot menu.
If that doesn't work the problem is more serious, either the rom is corrupted or there's been a hardware failure.
It may be a connector came loose... probably related to the service. Hopefully they didn't fry the mobo by not observing ESD protocols. Static electricity can kill a mobo, failure can be instant or take days, weeks even years to manifest itself.
Best course of action is probably to put it aside and take it to the shop. Even if it will factory reset if it's a loose connector it will just boot loop again. After it discharges and does an auto shutdown you can try giving it a partial charge and see if it will boot...
got the same problem just today idk what to do

Bootloops on stock Samsung's are usually caused by a 3rd party app you installed. Any system instability should be taken seriously as that may be the only if any warning you get.
Don't repeat the mistake on reloading or you'll be doing another factory reset. Back to back reloads are both humbling and instructive
Did you flash vbmeta or multidisabler?!
