Hoping you guys can help me out with a problem I've encountered with my cingular 8125 (wizard).
My wizard is brand new, about a week old. No modifications, i.e. box stock. I'm still playing around with it, trying to figure out how everything works. Just out of curiosity I performed a hard reset, to see how that works. And guess what, the thing is not booting up now.
It's stuck in the cingular startup screen with the radio and os/rom info on it. I've tried to perform another hard and soft reset, but it's not working. What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Help!
Thanks in advance!
Take battery out for 2 hours and leave device not plugged in - for good measure take out the minisd card. should boot up then or you will be able to do hard reset.
let us know how you get on
Okay, I'll give that a shot. I was totally like, wtf? Now what did I just do? :wink:

Okay, that didn't work....
Any other ideas out there? I don't see any other way to get this thing working again.
There are some other threads about this issue but with no simple fixes - search 'stuck on boot screen' or 'wont hard reset'
but i think you have a faulty device and quickest thing is to go and exchange it.
Okay, I figured out how to do it. Evidently I didn't press the hard keys in the correct sequence and/or coreect length of time.... :roll:
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm back to playing with this cool toy some more.

Hi i cant seem to enable the vireless netowrk on my i-mate jasjar. It worked in the beginning but now it just blinks realy fast when i press the button to enable it.
The only thing i can think of is that i installed the extended rom thing from buzz...it was that cab file i found in the comments on his site.
pls can anybody help me with this?
Please help me ppl. I tryed reverting the settings for the extended rom and that did not help eather.
Please i really need som help here guys
I had my wifi stop working at one point for unknown reasons. Soft resetting didn't fix the problem. It did start working again after a hard reset. It was not doing any fast blink like you describe, so it may be that whatever your problem is has no relation to whatever my problem was. I don't know if you have tried hard reset, but in any event I'm hoping one of the wizards here will have better advice for you.
Hehe by fast blinking i mean when i press the "wifi" button in the wireless manager. It just blinks breafly to indicate that i pressed it..but it does not turn blue like its suposed to and it does not turn wifi on like its suposed to.
Had hoped i wouldnt have to do a hard reset as i have my device set up just perfectly now
So if anybody has some tips here ill try anything.
btw what is sddeamon? i had sevreral of thouse in the notification que and i remoced all but one. could this be the problem?
OK, now I know what you mean, and unfortunately my problem was different. It would presumably turn on (button would change color) but not connect with anything, including access point that was no problem before. And sorry again since I don't know what that sddaemon thing is for sure. It might be related to the voice dial function, but I'm really not sure. Hard reset is definitely a pain. I've made a little cheat sheet for myself with all my tweaks to get things set up again. But it's a pain anyway. Part of the cost of being on the bleeding edge with these wonderful little machines.
so true so true. But since it seems that nobody else has this problem im a bit afraid that there might be a hardware problem.
Well only way to fighure it out is to do a hard reset!. Is there any way to back up WM5 like there was in 2003?
well i have now preformed a hard reset and that did not work. I also installed the imate rom twice (installed arabic first LOL) and that did not good eather.
So i guess there is a hardware issue with the phone itself...
Any thoughts?
So I been searching on the forum for a while now, still haven't found the solution. Well I was deleting the status bar on the bottom of the screen from the registry. Then I did a soft reset, but it kept repeating itself on the boot. T-mobo screen, the Window mobile screen, turns black, then back to t-mobo screen and so on. So the solution to that problem was to take out the memory card and reboot it. But thats kind of annoying since I have soft rest once in a while and I don't want to keep taking it in and out. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
don't want to bash the n00b here but you could try posting this in the correct section. the t-mobile wing is not the same thing as a HTC wizard. you should try posting this over in the HTC herald section.
oh I'm sorry. I been looking through this forum and been dling things from it here. So I thought it would fit here. Thanks tho.
Sorry, but... along the way I did something that had the same effect, multiple reboots after a soft reset.
The only thing that worked was to hard reset and to rebuild my set-up (including removing the T-mo tray). Works fine now.

Quite a few threads on this.

Search soft reset loop, or boot loop and you'll find what you're looking for.
yea thanks for the reply. I couldn't take it anymore, so I did a hard reset.
Hi there,
I have done a reasonable amount of reading around the forum to try and figure out if i can sort my phone out, but want to make sure i have tried everything i can!
Basically my phone crashed a couple of days ago, and i ended up removing the battery to get it to respond and switch back on. Only now it stays on the first white T-Mobile screen that appears. I know i can do a hard rest on the phone to bring it back to it's factory default state, but i have sooo many contacts and other info on the phone that i really need to retrieve before clearing it.
Is it possible at all to get these back, or am i stuck with a Hard reset and losing everything?
Any info that could help me would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Am afraid its looking like a hard reset dude, but i would DEFINATLY recommend getting a free exchange accoutn with somebody like mail2web or even DeniaLs own service on here.....your contacts are just a sync away even after a hard reset or ROM flash so you dont need to back them up every time you reset or flash.
Ok first off. Nice Site here. There is a LOT of informative stuff here, and it's really great. You guys know yourr stuff. Unfortuantely it wasn't enough...for what I needed.
I tried fishing through this site to see if anyone has had the same problem that I have had, and no luck.
This is my girlfriend's OLD phone, so before it officially becomes a worthless paperweight, I'll try and fix it and sell it while some value is still attained to it.
What is does in a nutshell is the buttons seem to not work a lot. And randomly brings up the Start menu up with any button you press. If you let the page sit there it seems to get a little better and doesn't bring it up AS MUCH. But mainly the buttons seem to be messed up or something.
I tried installing a new ROM from this site, and I COULDN'T DO A HARD RESET. I tried over and over and even had a helper. It just seemed to not work. I would get stuck at the Tmobile page forever, and be forced to put back the OEM ROM. Then it would work again.
But sometime it would be fine for a while. The thing is, it's unreliable. You never know when it's going to NOT work, and start messing up again.
I'm at a total loss.
Ok. THe absolutley WILL NOT HARD Reset in any sort of way. Just tried it out again. It just does a soft reset everytime
Hello,
I'm kind a new to this forum but found lots of useful information so I hope you can me.
When I push the lock screen button (power button(, the screen gets locked, but there is no way to unlock it again. I tried everything, but i keep ending up with soft resetting the device because this is the only thing that helps. This also happens when I put the phone on my desk for example and when I come back I can't unlock it. The screen stays black. I already did a hard reset several times but it doesn't help. Also, the hermes won't read my sim-card. I hope someone can help me. And I apologize for my vague description of my problem. Any question i'll try to answer
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have the fairly well documented problem of the Hermes failing to come out of sleep mode and needing to be reset.
You may get some ideas here:

Check the items A,B,C etc first and note item G as that can be a common cause of the freezing problem.

Do you know anything that will fix the problem with my sim-card?
Thank you so much for your help!
Also the screen still locks eventhough I preformed the steps said above!
I'm starting to think that I can't fix it
Can someone help me out?
I already asked this before and I got some good tips. The problem now is that my screen locks even quicker than it did before.
