Had this problem too... It just give me a white sceen w/ the window start bar and just hang there... i did soft reset everytime it happens, think may be its a bug or something? i dunnoe how to fix it though, but i think soft resetting it will be the only way until someone found a soultion.
well, i think it's not a bug
you just have to change the source of the place where the picture gonna be put in
first it was also hang in my wm5 xda exec
but then i change the place that the picture gonna be put from
memory card ---> storage card
after that change, my camera work well AGAIN

My MDA was unable to get back to bootload after a unsuccessful ROM upgrading. Is it possible to replace the ROM (hardware) so that I can save my MDA?
I tried the Power on key and softreset to reset it but only return to a messive screen.
Pls help. Thanks
cris...
you dont need to replace the hardware rom!!
try runing the upgrade program again, it sometimes picks up where it left off. if that dont work, try the SD card method.
i'd go into more details, but all that info is here in these forums already.
if u still need help though, contact me, and i'll try to help you.
good luck
Dear Ntabikha,
Thanks v much!
However, I tried the upgrade program many times and the decktop just said the computer cannot recognise the device.
So, I think method 1 is not possible.
For method two, I will try to put the nk.nbf file into my SD card and put it in the device and see whether the MDA can pick up the ROM. Will let you know whether it is successful.
BTW, when the screen is on, it only appears some fuzzy horizontal lines and two small empty boxes, have you seen this before?
Chris
yes, i had the same fuzzy lines. i fixed That problem via the SD card method.
just remember that, you have to write the nbf file to SD card, not just copy it to SD card
dont laugh, i did that mistake at first
good luck
How can I "write" it to the card?
I thought I only copy the file to the card through a SD reader.
Well, I know now, use rom kitchen to cook the rom and use osimagetool to copy the nb1 file into a sd card.
All i need to do next is to insert into the MDA and press power button together with softreset key for several times until successful....
Dear ntabikha,
I am still unable to obtain the bootloading screen of my MDA after inserting the SD with nb1 file written by xdatool. I tried many times power button and soft reset simultaneously (more than 20times) and the screen are still full of messy lines and 2 big empty boxes.
Can you help please? What is the fix broken bootloader in the xdatool?
I really did search around the forum but still can't be able to get back the bootloader screen. Pls help.
Chris

I'm wondering if you could not see bootloading screen , how could you use SD card to restore OS and bootloader ?
No, there is no bootloading screen at all.
I took the MDA out to a repair shop and they said that is a hardware failure. And they don't have the stock to replace it.
But I don't believe that cause I was just downloading the OS. It shouldn't hurt the hardware that much.....

I fixed couple such phones "horizontal lines and two small empty boxes" due to failure upgrading (all flash ROM messed up).
You have to use hardware flash ROM writer to wire the flash ROM pin to write bootloader and CE directly to chip.
I can help you to fix the problem (I'm in Canada, my email is [email protected])
Hi, I have similar trouble. My boss upgrade his MDA TMO (Austria) to official TMO version of OS and now it coming only to splash screen. MDA doesn't sync through cradle, doesn't seems to be charged, and I cannot enter BOOT mode for flashing ROM from SD card.
Is there any chance to fix it by myself?
Thanx, Ivan

If you don't have a working OS and a working bootloader, the only solution is hardware solution. You have to wire the flash chip directly to the flash ROM writer ...
yes, it is dangerous for nonexpert people
Thank you CGIGATE for quick answer. Anyway I wrote you an email, could you be so kind and send me informations how I can do that, or where I can find these steps?[/quote]
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
- Cheers
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!

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.
Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?

This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?
a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?
b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?
http://www.choiceway.com/content/gsi/ppc_rem9.gif
c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.
is Arabizer installed on ur deivce?!when im using unofficial pdamobiz roms on my prophet,after installing arabizer,the new message window becomes exactly as u said!after disbaling the arabizer it worked again.i hope this helps.

Hello Spatzm,
Thanks for your reply.
a) 23.85MB RAM left
b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a
c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.
--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.

I dun think "Arabizer" is installed. Is it a program? or something about "Arab"?
Anyway, I can't find it from "Remove program". Tks.

Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.

You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

Hello Mike,
Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.
However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.
scott4, nice to meet u Do u come from HK?
I have the same problem before...
At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!
After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =
SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....
until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...
and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =
firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....
so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....
Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD
I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......
I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~>< But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD
it's the problem of cestar, i used to have the same problem with cestar installed, after uninstall it the problem was gone
Hello everyone,
I want to first say that I am new to these boards and am glad I have found them.
My problem is everytime I try to use my camera it tells me I dont have enough memory and to stop all running progs.
I stop them all and the problem still presist. It seems to work after I reboot the phone but returns to that after I start using some prog.
Is there a way to fix this or should I just reboot everytime?
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks.

try flashing one of the ROMS they have here.. the reason why ur getting that is because ur running low on memory (ram). and the stock Rom the phone comes with just plain doesnt do the job. or try looking for the hibernate.cab maybe that can free up memory so u wont have to reboot all the time
You can also try the PagePool to reduce the size from the Stock 12 MB to your choice of 4 or 6.
I installed the pagepool but I cant get it to run the backup.bat file.
Error "There is no application associated with "backup". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application".
Am I missing something?

You run it from your PC while the phone is synced with your PC. Not from the phone.
I actually tried that first but it didn't do anything but I'll give it another try.
Maybe I did something wrong.

Read my walkthrough on the Herald mobile 6 forum on how to flash.
And read this for a list of ROMs.
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
