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

Please help me..

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

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)

Stuck in phonecall

Hello,
I was using multiple ROMs with RADIOs 2.05 and 2.08 and everywhere was this problem - when I calling to someone and press End Call (HW or SW button), phone doesn't end calling, only button get grayed, but it is still ringing.
Please, do you know what could help? Thank you.

i get that issue sometimes as well.. i found it worked ok after i made sure the in car bluetooth was automatically allowed to connect to anything it needs.. followed by a soft reset.. should only be the once though

Ok this is interesting. I had never had this problem but now I have flashed to Flashmores latest and the ROM is great and fast (and yes I did hard reset after flashing) but now I have this problem.
When I'm in a call none of the touch keys work. Cant access the keypad or anything. Really annoying.
I have to use the hard key to kill the call.
Any thoughts?
Oh and I dont have a bluetooth headset!
GG

It's independent on Bluetooth and same problem is with hardware- and software- keys (buttons).

I have the same problem...Which ROM versions do you have? mine problems started after flashing ROMs from TMOUS...so versions 1.7 to 2.10...I will revert back to older ROMs...

I think this problem was also in stock ROM about 1.42..

Hi guys,
For those problems, I advice you to do these steps in order whenever you want to flash a ROM (stock,shipped,cooked ROM). If you want the stable ROM for daily usage... just flash the shipped ROM
-Choose Clear Storage in you current ROM.
-Take out your SD card and Format it by (FAT32)
-Connect your Device to PC and do a MTTY... You can read this for more details (do it in careful way)
-Then Flash the Shipped ROM 1.66 I suggest the 1.66.405.2 WWE.
-Do not hard reset after flash... I mean let your device through the "Customization" first then just skip all setting and Reset the device. While the device is getting reboot... Do a hard reset
-Setting up all things.
Hope this help

it doesn`t work I think this problem is according to radio ROM. I will flash another...

i had this problem yesterday and have fixed it
ceratin roms are only compatible with certain radios
for example yesterday i installed SONE 2.5 and i couldnt make calls, it would freeze
i looked at the ROM requirements and i was using a radio not supported by the ROM
simply change the radio respectively to the ROM

This problem, which I'm describing, is something other. RADIO patch is okay (I think), but phone is "slow" during phonecall and phonecall cannot be hanged out..

[Q] HD2 Radio cause crashes?

Hi,
I'm looking for a little advice/guidance. I have flashed windows 7 on my HD2 thanks to the wonderful guides on these forums. It wasn't easy, but once i read through everything i think i got it right.
I flashed from a UK T-Mobile (stock) Radio Version: 2.05.51.05_2
Up to the lastest (?) version: 2.15.50.14
But at the moment i am getting constant crashes, lockups and the phone often fogets my settings like the date and time. I tried to flash back down to the stock version of the Radio which i downloaded from here, but the flash didn't take. It got to about 2% and then crashed. So i flashed back up to 2.15.50.14 (Thanks HSPL) but obviously i still have the same problem.
Could this be a problem with the radio or just the phone it's self? Should i work my way through all the radio's on the page to see if it stops the crashing or is it dangerous or a waste of time?
The phone will sometimes stick on the DFT screen and flash green occasionally. It requires a soft re-set to get working again. obviously when the phone crashes while in use, i must also do a soft re-set
I am downloading the stock windows 6.5 now to flash back in case i can't get it working.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
oh, i forgot. Can anyone confirm that this: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe is the stock rom for my original? I would hate to re-load the wrong one and brick it.
Original Software
OS Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
Rom Version 148.405.2 (71294) WWE
Rom Date 11/18/09
Radio Version
2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version 15.28.50.07U

I would consider:
Re downloading and flashing the radio again as, the Radio 2.15.50.14 works fine for me and others in the UK so unless its a poor download it should be OK
then if that fails, task 29 the phone, delete all partitions and reformat the sd card to primary partition fat 32 use the free version of EASEUS or similar and reload the stock rom, its available as a direct download from HTC as well as here

Thanks, I deleted it and put android on. I only had one problem it couldn't make calls! so i put the stock rom back on and even in wm6.5 the phone crashes when making a call. So i guess it's down to a hardware fault
I'm a bit annoyed i've only had the phone 1 day but i bought it second hand.

Just an update if anyone else has a similar issue.
I took it in to the repair shop and they said it was down to the screen so i'm getting it replaced. I'll edit my post when i get it back.
