My MDA now all of a sudden keeps locking up on boot-up. It gets to the Today screen and then locks up. I can't do a darn thing. I can hit the power button and it turns the backlight on and off. But I can't turn the phone off or on once it's locked up. All I can do is take the battery out to turn the phone off. But when I go to turn it back on, it just locks up. I can't get it to do a damn thing. Now its says Rebooting in Safe Mode.....and is locked up. I have no clue what to do. I'm on Cust ROM 2.21.
Any ideas?
The same thing just happened to my SIM unlocked 8125 today! I can't even hard reset it. I am on 2.25. I can soft reset it, but a hard rest won't work... I am lost, it worked flawlessly for 5 days, I hung up with a telephone call today and boom, junk... Any ideas how to help me get this thing hard reset? If i press com button and voice button and hit reset, it is just as though I did a soft rest.
So i got it unfrozen by reflashing with the Cingular 225 ROM. Then I had to reload all my crap, well, just a couple of apps... I turned off the phone last night and now when I turn it on this morning, same friggin junk! This is going to suck if I have to keep reloading... The only installed apps were:
spb pocketplus 3.0
AEBPlus and devicelock to map comm button
Any ideas??
Try restarting (soft) with the SD removed. Double check that you have operability after bootup, then reinsert card and verify it is accessing it properly (load a file explorer). Then, do another restart with the card in (by holding down the power button, not the softrestart button) to verify all is good.
It just happened to me about half an hour ago but figured out how to get it running again. Decided to search for "safe mode" to see if there's another way around it, and came up with this post
Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I didn't have a sd card in the phone, I am still waiting for it to be delivered. I have found that by not turning the unit off (holding power button down) it has not happened again. I have also opted not to install any applications until I get my card.
I will play more some other day. I will come back and post a result.

I've got an M5000...
recently, I did a reset, and upon reboot, I got stuck at teh orange default splash screen.
That was 5 days ago, and after several calls, I'm no closer to finding out why..
So, can someone confirm how to do a hard reset. (I've tried, but heard nothing.
or can anyone offer advise to get my phone back to fectory settings.. I've got a back up of my data, so I'm not bothered about loosing anything.
I've got qa 1Gb SD card, with very little info on it, and I've tried rebooting with and without the card in place.
Any ideas, before I pull my hair out...?

To do a hard reset on the Universal:
Press and hold both SoftKeys (the ones with the lines on that point to Calendar and Contacts on the Today screen) and tap the Reset button at the back of the device.
When you have done this you have a choice of pressing X to exit the menu, or 0 to perform the hard reset.
As a last resort (it worked for me)
Put the Universal into bootloader then connect the usb and run romupdate.
to put into bootloader
Power button + Voice record + Reset.
My wizard is currently running nbd v9.2 and few days ago i was listen to HTC Audio Manager and it kept freezing so i ended the program and started the program back up several time. Finally i decided to restart the phone and i put it in my pocket, when i looked at the phone again the nbd screen was still on, i thought nothing of it, so i pulled the battery out and started the phone again. The samething happened the tmobile screen comes up and shows my IPL 2.26 ,SPL 2.26 ,GSM and OS. Then the nbd screen comes up and stays there. The screen will stay on for a minute or so, go off, lite back up and finally go out. And when i touch the screen nothing happens...i fear the worst . Can anyone help me?
You need to do a hard reset. follow these instructions:
* Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
* While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
* After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm
That should hard reset and the phone should restart like new.
P.S. If you read a little oyu could get this without starting a new thread
I installed sktools on my wing to get rid of my phantom alarm. So I decided to do a backup of my phone to my sd card while in the sktools program.
It said that after finishing it would soft restart my phone twice. I said ok. It started backing up my files and didnt even get done all the way. It was in the process of backing up my email when it suddenly restarted. Now thats all it does is restart. I removed the battery hoping that would maybe stop it but when i put the battery back in and turn it on, it keeps restarting. I tried to do a hard reset but it wont work.
thanks for your help

Did you try holding the two softkeys (the buttons above the left green call button and right end call button) as the phone was turning on?
yeah i did, it didnt work.
I figured it out though. one of the .dll files was corrupt.
My battery goes emty, when i looked at screen it was saying
Storage reset done (or something)
<MENU> reset phone
only option was menu so i pressed it and when phone turned on it was no phone numbers calls etc...
It happened few weeks earlier but i tought it was my mistake or some...
Now it happened again...
Thanks in advance
When u get it again, just pull out the battery without selecting anything. If you have trouble, flash to it stock using a RUU.
Problem is:
it was sayin storage reset.... done.
and i think that phone reseted before i pressed menu...
also first time i didnt see this screen at all(maybe it was there but i pressed button while phone was in my pocket)
When your phone wasin the pocket, you might have accidentally hit the button combos when it was off.
You usually have this option in VOL DOWN + POWER or HOME+POWER.
While setting up an app, the phone froze completely. I've already tried pressing the power button for 15 seconds, and even more, but with no success.
Even tried removing the SIM and put it back on to see if it would trigger the input PIN dialog but also without success.
The phone screen is still on, on the moment it froze (even showing at what time it froze) and is completely unresponsive.
Any ideas on how to proceed ?
Cheers!
