Performed a soft reboot of my v1605 this morning as it was running slowly (>3 minutes to switch from phone to mail)
Seemed to reboot ok, but stuck on the blue Windows Mobile screen for ages 5ish minutes, and then when the Vodafone red screen finally appeared, it showed nothing on the today screen at all, and the message "sddaemon cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's componets cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file".
Running through the Systems tab, Wifi, Comms Manager and other controls were missing also.
Any clues or is it fooked ?
Same error in different case
Hello,
I've seen same message once after downgrading ROM on my Qtek s200 but disappeared after re-upgrading. I don't think this will help your case. Just for info.
Nope.
Had to perform a hard reset
Vodafone have confirmed that they have shipped my replace v1605 - should be with me tomorrow.
Hopefully this will last a little longer than my first one !
Device replaced - just for the record it has a 627 serial
Previous model was 626

Ok, Ive got a new problem with my XDA Exec.
Opened it up and tryied to turn on the backlight and nothing. tried a soft reset, nothingtried a hard reset now it just sticks on the splash screen, the red writing comes up on the right and side and just hangs there forever!
Please help
You're stuck. apparently the only remedy is turning it in to repair. For most of us it is under warranty.
Just off the phone to 02. Theres sending me a new one via courier on monday. it's less than a day old.
Is this a comon fault with the Exec?
erm ... I managed to experience this problem.
I was trying to uninstall SPB GPRS thingy that comes with the O2 package, and it just wouldn't go. I ended up deleting the program files and getting an error when it started up, so I deleted the GPRSNotify file under Startup. It never worked again ...
I got the splash screen, tried soft and hard resetting and various permutations (including standing on one leg and while holding breath) ... nothing. Did try to install fresh ROM, but startup wouldn't get far enough to let PC load ROM over USB.
Ended up contacting O2 who sent me a nice shiny new one, as it was only three weeks old. This time I haven't installed GPRS monitor thingy, and I don't intend to fiddle with it again ... or at least until I've forgotten my lesson ...
Sorry i ment to give you guys an update on this. I did manage to get it working again, although i still accepted the new one the sent to me.
What i did was installed a new rom off the 02 website. at 1st the computer couldnt see the phone so wot i did was enter what i think was the programming side of the phone. i found the instructions on how to this on the net. i think i pressed the 2 soft keys and the light switch while pressing the reset switch with the stylus (i think that was the buttons but unsure as i cant find the page again) when the screen light up again there was some faint writing on the screen with the word serial or usb. Double clicked on the rom file and 30mins later my phone was revived.
Funny it was the gprs monitor that i too installed before the phone screwed up? ive since installed it again on the new phone and have had no problems with it since.

HELP NEEDED!
Yesterday I bought a Hermes (Vodafone 1605).
Everything was fine, I installed Opera and tried the wi-fi.
Then it locked and there was non way for turning it off. So I made a soft reset and I found out it hangs on the vodafone splash screen.
I tried a hard reset and nothing changed.
I can see some codes in the lower part of the screen as it tries to boot up but nothing happens.
I looked up some threads and tried to remove the battery for 20 mins.
It actually went over the vodafone splash screen but only to halt on the windows mobile one.
The thing that puzzles me is that I didn't mess at all with the ROMS!!!
It's exactly as it comes from the box.
Any advice and help is more than welcome....
Thx in advance
A few more details
I've been trying to get my Hermes working.
That's what I found:
Taking away the battery for some mins and hard resetting brings me to the windows mobile screen then it hangs
The same procedure but soft resetting instead of pressing space actually let the phone start but then it hangs on the screen: "Tap the screen to configure ...." etc. etc.
Still trying to figure out what's happening.
Anyone with some ideas please help me. I don't want to play with the ROMS till it's strictly NECESSARY. I can't understand why it's stopped working.
Now it works...
Repeated the procedure, soft resetting instead of pressing space.
It went smoothly and run all the Vodafone customization programs.
Now it's off and charging.
Don't know yet what was the problem. Hope it's not a problem of stability.
I'm starting blaming myself for leaving my old Tungsten.
Does anyone experienced something similar? May depend on some particular operation?
Curious, but Hermes sometimes needs to settle down. Suggest you try the following to avoid hangs/freezes as well:

I think it's the well known freeze problem...
My Hermes worked fine for a while. Then I synced it and installed Magic Button. Everything looked perfect. I left it for a while and when I came back it was off and it won't go back on. Soft resetting just causes a freeze on startup.
I guess it's some problem with activesync. I tried the fake server but I'm not sure I didi it properly. I'll try again once I wake my Hermes back up.
Hope to solve this, otherwise it's almost unusable.
It keeps freezing...
I'm getting really worried.
After some hours of normal use I experienced the "won't wake up" problem.
The strange thing is that soft reset doesn't solve the problem. Neither does the hard reset.
When I tried to soft reset it went to the bootloader page.
I need to remove the battery for about 20 mins and try a hard reset.
Sometimes it works with space reboot, sometimes it need the soft reset restart.
Then it freeze after some time.
When it doesn't work it freeze on the vodafone splash screen after showing the version numbers at the bottom of the screen.
I'm quite puzzled.
It's a brand new V1605 with S/N HT645.
Maybe that's more than an issue on it.
Any chance to improve this with a ROM upgrade?
As your device is brand new with the its original ROM, I would take it back to the store you purchased it and ask for a replacement.
They should swap it for you right away.
Not so easy..
I'd like but I bought it from ebay.
It's a brand new Vodafone UK VPA1605, but i don't think I'm eligible for any assitance (even paying) here in Italy, even if Vodafone Italy sells the same PDA.
Now I'm not even able to start it. It keeps freezing on the vodafone splash screen.
I tried several hard and soft reset (even removing the battery for 1/2 hour or so). What I cannot understand is why it's so unpredictable? It's electronics.
It should just work or doesn't work, till you change something (software or hardware).
hi,
i recently wanted to simply restart my qtek s200 (g3), it stops at the blue windows mobile boot screen and just hangs and does nothing (i've waited for hours).
I am not using any mods, simply the original rom/software. The only thing extra installed is 3rd party software and the home screen from the new htc touch (i've have been using it for some time now, and yes, i have been able to reboot several times during that period).
I have no idea why it isn't working anymore since I have been using it in an ordinary fashion and have not installed any software lately...
What I have tried so far:
- soft reset
- removing battery, sd card, sim card
- hard reset is impossible due to the fact that my comm button no longer functions.
Any ideas how I can get this phone to boot in windows again?
If there is no "normal" way, then a hard reset would also work for me as the phone contains no important data.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Since no hard reset is available... try removing the battery for the whole night.
If you do manage to get to windows then watch out for the startup folder, you're probably overloading the memory at startup.(htc home and psxut eat a lot at startup and windows as well)
i have removed the battery, sim and sd, and just left it there the whole night, but it still won't go further than the windows boot screen...
any suggestions ?
is is possible to do a hard reset by connecting it to usb and enter the bootloader somehow ? if yes, how ?
thanks!
hi,
have you tryed entering bootloader by the normal process?
"Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)"
regards
yes, I can get into the bootloader, I can then also connect with USB with a notification at the bottom of the screen saying it's connected. However, I have no idea what to do afterwards ...

Okay then there is still hope.. When you have connected the device run an opdate tool like the NVID WM5 Rom.. that should work as a hard reset..
are there any working links available for this ? rapidshare seems to have disabled this...
thanks!

As long as you are able to enter bootloader then you can flash it with any old prophet rom. I had the same issue after installing WM6 rom. I used a Spanish rom on wiki to bring it back and then installed WM6 VII touch. So far it has worked well for a week.
HTC 6tab Home screen killed my 818pro!!!!!!
Here is what happened a few days back. My 818pro (aka prophet) suddenly heat up while not in use 3 days ago. I thought it was caused by the hot weather in my country (I was driving with aircond in full blast). The heating up eventually go away. Then 2 day later, after I put down a call, my phone just frozen / hung. Hence, I do a soft reset & guess what It never recovered & stop at the black screen with the dopod logo while restarting. Some service centre I visited told me that the main memory chip need replacement & reflash!!! I can't even see the window screen. I have use the HTC 6tab for 2 months & I am very sure it's the culprit here. Hopefully you are not having the same problem like me
Try plug in the ac charger before u do soft reset. My phone need it in order to restart after soft reset (after I started using the HTC 6tab Home Screen).
That is before my phone die yesterday
Hi, I would really appreciate anyones help with this. My brother went on holiday and left me his 02 XDA Mini S (I found out here its also called a Wizard?), and I had no problems using it for about 3 days - was just testing the various features.
I found my brothers contacts - and since its now a hand me down so I wanted to remove all these etc - I asked my brother what to do and he said do a Hard Reset. I found out in the Manual how to do it - I press the Communication Button and the voice command button and use the reset and nothing happened. I asked my brother and he said use the communication and voice button and then turn it on, that sometimes works - and it did. The screen showed:
Press Send to restore factory default...
I pressed the send button and it said it formatted. I was happy, it turned on, I did the set up - everything was working. Then at the end of the day I turned it off and in the morning I turned it on - all the screen shows now is the screen which first comes on - 02 with and underwater bubbles thing, and four lines -
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.21.4.1
in red.
It won't go to the next screen - which I think says windows mobile. It just stays at the first screen when I turn it on - and has these four lines
Can anyone help me please? My brother will be back from holiday soon and he will be very upset with me if he finds I ruined his phone
please please please help me - i'm not as good with technology as you guys
Jocelyn
Try and get into bootloader mode by holding down the camera button and soft resetting your device. From bootloader mode you can flash back to the factory rom that was on the phone or wizard love.
Hi
I found how to go into Bootloader mode - my phone now shows three colours. But I'm not sure how to do the rest you mentioned. Could you explain how I should do it step by step please? Sorry!
Jocelyn
He means that you download the orginal rom from your provider and flash it back onto the phone.
Ok
I have made no progress
Here's what I did (please don't laugh - I'm new at all this)
1. I downloaded the active sync software from microsoft, and also downloaded a file i searched through on the forum mentioned by peter, called Wizard Love.
2. I pressed the camera button and soft rest the wizard to go into boot mode
3. I ran active sync - it said no connection.I connected the Wizard and searched - it said that no device was found (but the computer made a sound like it always makes when USB is plugged in). Also on the phone, it showed the word USB at the bottom left of the screen.
4. I extracted the wizard love and double clicked on the file newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe
5. When I got to the screen about existing software on the phone it was blank in that section, but it had the option to use the new one, so I proceeded.
6. The Wizard screen switched to a bar and completed 100% within about 5 minutes. Same thing on the computer screen.
7. It shows congratulations - etc.
8. I clossed everything and shut off the computer. Disconnected the wizard and there was a picture like some love cartoon characters - and thats all.it just stayed at that screen for a long time. Finally i thot maybe i should turn it off, but the power button does not work.
9. I used the stylus and did it a soft reset - the phone still froze at the start, with a wizard love cartoon - but the 4 lines i mentioned in my first post were different - it showed different numbers. But it still stuck there.
10. I thought maybe the wizard love is not compatible with my phone? So I went to the 02 XDA mini site, and downloaded the software from there - Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101. I redid the whole thing, this time with this software.
11. At the end I saw Congratulations! again, but this time the screen had gone back to 02 - and the numbers went back to what was in my original posting. But still the phone does not start - its just stuck at that 02 screen with the 4 red lines.
12. Somone help me please!!! Have I made it worse???
Jocelyn
The Love ROM should work on your phone since it it does not have IPL/SPL (AFAIKnow). However, it seems that the phone itself already have a bit of problem itself. Using the "Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101" to flash the phone in bootloader mode is the wise thing to do. Probably you'll need to hardreset it again (i.e. what you've done in the very first post).
As far as I can see, you've did nothing wrong on your first post. It seems to be the phone problem. ANYWAY, you may want to note the little issues. Example, do not have the miniSD card in the phone when doing all the stuff said above.. and possible, remove the SIM as well.
Also, sometimes, it takes ages for it to boot up. I'm not sure how long you've waited, but I would say.. give it a good 5 mins to do its bootup to confirm it hanged.
Sorry
I should have mentioned - in both cases when I ran the utility, once I waited at the splash screen for more than 10 minutes and nothing happened, i just tried to do a hard reset. In both cases the words came up, press send to do a reset etc...
but when I press the left (green phone) button (i think that is the send button?) it says format failed everytime.
I searched at some other thread and followed what Zabardast_1 says about flashing and I tried that, it does not work. Is there any other option? Oh i also tried it another time, this time disabling Anti Virus first - but still no luck
Jocelyn
Hmm.. I'm sorry to tell you. Since you have a 'Format fail', you 'officially' have a bricked device. That has something to do with the hardware.. or stuff that doesnt have any thing to do with your flashing.. probably CID unlocking may cause this problem.
ANYWAY, it seems that your only choice is to get it to somewhere to have it fixed. probably you want to make it as official (i.e. use the O2 ROM) before taking it to O2 to have it fixed.
Hi,
I got the MDA Vario II with T-Mobile UK (Hermes).
A friend tried to flash the ROM (don't know which one).
Active Sync connect, but as soon the phone freezes the connection is lost. Therefore I can't flash the ROM again.
On the bootloader screen it says:
HERM300
IPL-1.01
HERM300
SPL-1.09
When I power the phone up it shows on the T-Mobile start screen following.
M 05
S 04
B06 D 1.21
Sometimes 'No GSM' flashes up above the 'D 1.21'
Any ideas what I can do?
I did a few times a hard reset, where it went 1 out of 20 times to the 'set screen' settings. When the T-Mobile customization started it froze most of the time somewhere before it ended.
I got it now back to the today screen, after the customization seemed to nearly run through (3 pixels missing in the loadingbar at the end)
Any help very appreciated.
