Very strange thing happened to my QTEK 2020:
I had installed the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack the 'Bluetooth.cab' floating around and I was not pleased with it nor did I truly need it and tried uninstalling and NO GOOD. Hard Reset and I in turn started from scratch with reinstalls. Here is my problem:
Upon the Hard reset there is no longer a camera.exe nor album.exe in the \windows directory - and the button of course is not assigned to the Camera because it IS NOT THERE!
This is a HARD reset peeps! It is inherent in the ROM 1.60.00WWE, no? How is this possible? Did this villainous bluetooth.cab do this? I have tried again hard resetting to see if there was anything and EVERY time there is no Camera nor Album installed!
I have installed the Camera/Album 2.5 which came from HTC inherent in the 1.72 ROM and it works great until I soft reset and then it locks the device so there is not a solution there.
Very strange indeed, any comments or remedies?
- Thanks
i've had the same problem with at times a hardreset would not load my extented rom programs another hardreset or opening the extented rom manualy and running the cab files solves it
Looks like part of the extROM was not installed.
Check the config.txt if its still complete. If not: repair it.
Check is the cabs are still in the extrom. If not: didnt you forgot to lock the extrom when you hard-reset the device? You have to get new cabs then.
I think the old versions are lying around somewhere.
OR: Upgrade to 1.72.00! Good occasion now.
Thanks
Thanks for the help... I didnt even know all of the possibilities of unlocking the ROM and seeing what is in there!!! This little machine is COOL!!
I suppose backing up the External ROM is 100% important now that I know it is there!!!
Thanks again for all of the help.
I installed the ExtROM unlocker and re-installed the camera 1.5 cab that was there, rebooted and tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did... I will leave it alone for the time being, I didnt really use the camera that much any way

tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did

what problem ?
I dont know what happened, but I replaced the older version of the Camera CAB with the 2.5 and changed the config file and then locked the ExtRom then hard reset and the camera works fine as it should...
Before ithe device was locking up - just a black screen when the camera was called... not any more.
Again, thanks for all of the help! This forum is amazing!

I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP
read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...
regards
adri
baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin
I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...
Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...
it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.
well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

have you installed all cabs you posted (cabs & cabs2)?
in what order?
whats Sprite Backup?
and which one is the HTC Home 1.5? (i only see HTC Home6?!?)
sorry, but i am really getting more and more confused...
regards,krz
Sprite backup is the best backup softweare IMO, yes all cabs (cabs and cabs2) Home6 is HTC Home 1.5
thank you very much for your answer, xplode!
there are three HTC HOME6 cabs out there:
1) Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive FLASH.zip
2) Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive AddOn.rar
3) HOME6: an archive with two folders (WM5 + WM6) and HTCHome.cab
are there any differences?
is one better than the others?
i never found an answer to these questions...

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....
OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )
BA Freezing

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.
Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas
OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$
I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.
I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.
But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked for about 1 day
Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.
Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.
Anybody have a solution?
Return it asap and get a new one
Camera issue
Hello,
I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.
I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).
Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?
Anyone else can help us with this issue?
Regards
Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391455
Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...
My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...
Don´t know what else to do...
radio rom upgrade?
did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?
if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).
I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.
I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.
Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?
Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)

have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?
if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.
I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal
My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything
I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...

I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.
FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)
Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

Does anybody knows this problem?
Since the last few days my polaris restart among a call or if I recieve a SMS the screen goes on and stay on and nothing works no buttons and no touch works.
have you installed any new cabs over the top of bepe's rom that may affect phone? have you tried backing up your contacts etc then do a hard reset on the polaris?

I have made a hardreset and install anything new. The only new is a new version of battery status but this works.
For a few days I installed a WWE Version from PDAView and than BePe´s again. And now I have this strange Problem.
I suggest that bug reports or reports of weird behaviors of specific ROMs are kept in the thread where the ROM got released. In this case it would be bepes thread.
After flashing bepes ROM, did you restore a backup archive of some sort? SPB Backup or anything comparable?
What else is installed except Battery Status which isnt included in bepes ROM? This includes all CABs which are "bugfixes" as well.

No I didnt restore a backup. I install the same cabs as before but I think the problem is solved. The problem seems to be batterystatus.
I reinstall bs and my theme for bs and now the error seems to be gone.
I will test it a few days.
Problem is back :-(
I don´t now what I can do.
Since I try an other WWE OS and now went back to BePes German ROM my Polaris hangs or restart. I cant define in which case this happens :-(
Any chance to get this problem solved?
I dont think that is was an error from Bepes Rom cause I used it before I try an other Rom without theese Problems.
Are there any know programs that have a bug like this?
I use a couple of programs so I have not the time to test any of them.

When my polaris hangs it is always the same situation.
S2U2 works fine, I slide to unlock then pocketcm comes up but i can´t minimize pcm only close. If I close pcm a black and blank desktop appears. The LED is blinking normally but when I call myself (from an other phone) i get an free line signal but my phone dont rings or show me a call.
I suppose you will have to try and diagnose the issue with adding one program at a time, then using it for a day or two, then add another and test it like this. random reboots on any hardware are very hard to diagnose. is anyone else experiencing reboots with bepe's rom at all?

I dont think that the problem is BePe´s Rom cause it was running 2 month before without problems. The problems began at the time I changed to an other rom.
I have more than 20 Programs installed thats too much time for me to test.
Thats the reason I ask if someone has heard of an program that causes this issue.
My english is soo bad
I use the last weeks a new SDCard. Can this produce the errors?
MicroSD TransFlash Formel1 4GB.
Since yesterday I use my "old" SDCard and at this time I had no problems. Can this be the reason?
I will watch this the next days.
That was not the reason :-(
The problem is not solved.
Can it be the reason that I flashed a wwe rom and went back to a german rom?
does the phone reboot without any self installed applications? i.e. flash with an original rom and test it without adding ANY other applications.
If it still reboots there is a problem with the phone.
If you add all you apps and it reboots then there is a problem of incompatabilty with one of the apps. you will then need to carefully install one at a time and test each install for a while. this is the only way to diagnose a software fault.
if you do not do this then you will not know why it is rebooting. simple really.
Hello Friends,
I am just about to throw my TC out the window.
I am sorry to say that I am very disappointed, although I don't understand why, I read many people very happy with their TC and mine ***SUCKS***.
I have received my phone (second hand) about 3 months ago, and it was with Original WM 6.1 rom.
After a few days of usage I have had to (follishly I think) install a cooked rom, the first was UDK's, after a few tries I came accross Khanx and others..
Since then my life has become a catastrophy, every 1-2 days I have to hard-reset and re-inall everything, I have tired to use SPB Backup, but when I try to restore there are a lot of problems and the device just won't work properly.
I have tried a few times to install back the Original WM 6.1 but it does not help.
I am syncing my "Contacts" and "Calendars" "Tasks" etc even had "Notes", but sometime not all of the contacts go in, sometimes the unit freezes, resetting it just deletes all the information.
A few weeks ago, I installed the Khanx 1.4 full, and the unit operated for a few days without any problem, all contacts were in and all calendar was in, stopped using the Microsoft Notes and bought PhatNotes to use with it.
A few days of ahppiness and then suddenly again the unit froze and hard-reset it self and "voila" since then again, installing trying to sync and hard reseting, frezing etc etc.
A few days working with WM 6.1, but after installation there is always a color problem with the minutes on the Home Screen, again a few days working with this problem but once again the unit hard-reset itself one f... day and all the contacts/clanedar etc gone.
Is there anyone out there that could maybe hint me to what is my problem, is it the unit, the roms, the radio (which believe me I have tried all of them).

Why hard reset? soft reset dont work?
What programs do you install? i use UdK R4. try to use it without installing extra programs.
If you have to hard reset again. write down everything you do. maybe some other program is broken
TC Problems.
Well actually it is not me Hard Reseting it is the TC doing it on itself, ofcourse I can soft reset.
I have had also a issue with the soft reset, after which usually I looose the radio signal completely, tried many radio's while keeping the last one 1.59.42.15 which had the best signal.
Well actually the last rom I used was UDK R4, installed and everything was ok till I tried to sync with the computer, I have about 510 contacts and I get syncced only 380 (this issue was and is why I did not continue working with UDK release).
I am going to write down from tomorrow morning a small diary and post it for people to see what I really do and maybe just maybe someone will find the fault.
Thanks.

I don't Know of this advise will help, but I noticed that a lot of settings from older ROM's will stay in the memory. So you have to clean your device severall times (hard reset) before shooting a new ROM.
Try to install your apps en data on your SD card. There are programs to move your data to the SD in that way you don't have to install them new again -(pocket mechanic)
Good luck !!
@irsw
You have not mentioned whether or not you installed HardSPL 1st, ie. before you tried the cooked ROM's ??
delete the phones details from active sync and then name the phone something else before re-syncing it to the PC. It seems to me that this is a sync issue. do you sync the phone to more then one pc or even charge it from more then one PC?
