Who can help me with the following:
I'm back using Midget's Crossbow ROM and I was just finished installing everything, which after I wanted to make a full backup with SPB Backup (I made the usual string in the register to skip '\windows\compimeh.dat').
The backup completes and the device goes into soft reset the way it should do, but after the screen turns off, it won't turn on again.
For a second the device looked bricked. The power button didn't do anything, the soft reset switch didn't force a restart...
But when I plug in the charger and then press the soft reset button, the device decides to reboot the proper way again, sometimes with only one press of the soft reset switch, sometimes with a little more.
How can this be? I used Midget's Crossbow ROM (and almost all others) before and I never encountered a problem like this before.
Has this something to do with the new Radio ROM 1.13.00, which came with my previously installed JWRight Crossbow? (My original radio was 1.09.00).
Thanks a ton!!

some times a find a few soft resets in a row have helped to unfreeze my machine. Usually they have to be reset again about 4 times in a row before the today screen or any buttons appear at all.
otherwise, when the machine has actually booted up, i have a window of opportunity being about 3 - 5 seconds before complete lock up to quickly find explorer and delete the file from startup, or remove the item from the today screen. you have to be really quick, and it usually helped as I always immediately put explorer in the start menu.
if all else fails and you are in total and utter complete lock up and have no option, you can perform a hard reset and completely start again. hold down the two soft keys (dashes normally for calendar and contacts), whilst simultaneously pressing the soft reset button with your stylus at the back of the device.
I backed up my M5000 with SPBBackup and then proceeded to install the Orange update. Failed the first time, but succeeded the second time around.
Tried to restore my files, and SPBBackup says should not restore as backup from different system -- did a restore anyway. Upon reset, M5000 hangs and hangs and hangs. Just will not start up.
Have had to do hard-reset number of times and need to re-install apps.

None of the Backup programs for WM5 support Restoring to an UPGRADED ROM.
They will only work if you restore to the same ROM version. If you upgrade or downgrade, the restore will not work
My Trinity is stuck at the hard reset screen where it says "Press SEND to restore factury default, press END to quit". I've tried to hard reset it as it told me to, but it's still stuck. I've also tried to flash it with a new ROM, but that's hard as it's unable to establish an activesync connection. Is there any way I can fix this myself ?

Have you got to the multi coloured screen after doing the hard reset (Power button+Camera button+soft reset)? If yes then you should be able to plug your Trinity into the PC and flash a Rom.
I had a similar problem while trying to flash a new rom and this worked for me. You could also try removing the battery for more than 3 secs then powering up and attempting the above tasks. Best of luck, most of all don't give up and keep searching the forums.
No, it just went back to the hard reset screen again. But I found out, I placed the buttons wrong when I changed them, so the two softbuttons were pressed all the time. It's fixed now.
ANYONE PRO one can help ME plz...........
Why My HTC WIZARD Not Enough battery energy is it will stuck back at hard reset ??
I was using my Roger's G1 and all of a sudden, the phone reset.
The phone now boots, shows the Rogers logo, then the HTC logo/animation, and then the screen goes black, and the HTC logo/animation appears again, and again and again.
I let it go for a few minutes... same thing.
Only way to break the cycle is either take the battery out to stop, or "Send" + "menu" + "end" key to reboot into the same cycle.
I would like to not hard reset the phone... Any suffestions?
you have to wipe, you don't have a choice
if its the rogers version of the hardware you have to wipe.. even if you wait for a signed system image, it probably wont fix it since the problem is most time in the data partition. try booting in safe mode and uninstalling some apps (or back up your data and wipe) if you havent tried allready... (hold down menu button when the phone powers on, until you see the home screen.
The Rogers version doesn't play nice with all apps for 1.5. In my case it was the wake me up app that caused this problem. I did a wipe to correct.
I ended up doing a full reset, since I couldn;t get into safe mode to backup anything.
What do you recommend as a backup tool (without having root access)?
hello together,
I got a problem with my HTC Touch HD.
The phone goes to a deep freeze during reloading the batterie at night.
No alarm nothing does work anymore.
I have to make a soft reset to get it back to work.
So far I am wasn't aible to figure out what is wrong with.
In hope somebody has an idea in this forum.
Thanks a lot.

Hi jofenchel,
Few questions...
(1) Are you using the official charger that came with the device? If you are using a charger other than the official one, then there is a possibility that it is not supplying enough juice to charge your HD - using the official HTC charger could maybe eradicate the freezing issues.
(2) What version of Windows Mobile Operating System do you currently use? 6.1 or 6.5?
(3) Would you be willing to perform a Hard Reset to restore your phone back to factory settings? You will lose all data stored in the phone memory (this excludes data stored on your MicroSD card). Use PIM backup to back texts, emails and contacts. To use PimBackup, you need to transfer the downloaded cab file to your phone and run the installation from there. To perform a hard reset, do the following:
(a) With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
(b) Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
(c) Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
(4) Does the battery drain quicker than expected? Checking for the possibility of a corrupt battery.
(5) Would you consider changing the Firmware of your HD to hopefully fix your problem? If so, see this Dummies guide and please read carefully. It describes how to unlock your phone so you can flash a custom made ROM on your phone. By doing this, you will also realise the full potential of your phone.
Additionally, If you upgrade to one of the latest custom ROM builds (see this link for information on the latest and greatest builds), it would most likely improve the overall performance and stability of the phone.
Best Regards.

This is my third hard reset and the first 2 times I was not that peeved at all but this time around I am quite pissed at this phone! I was careful with what I am installing and it was after getting the latest TMO update. Btw, I have TMOUS and stock (newer one). Anyway, I was not even doing anything at all when my phone froze, I was simply going to turn off the alarm (I use SPB Time).
Anyway, I soft reseted and it is stuck at the Stick Together screen. Tried many times and no luck so I just thought, wth, just hard reset.
The first two times I hard reseted, it was automatic since I got a message on my phone but this time there was no message so I decided to use the volume buttons and the end key button. The first time I tried it, I ended up with the tricolor screen and nothing. No message about 'this will erase blah blah.' I tried again several hours later and it finally gave me the message about pressing the volUP button to proceed with hard reset so I did. And after just TWO seconds, I saw RESTORE COMPLETE, press volUP to boot so I did and NOTHING. I am still stuck at the Tmobile Stick Together screen after reboot!!! I did this three times (volUP, endkey, hard reset, volUP) and it was always fast. I don't remember it being that fast before.
Can someone please just tell me what I can do to just get it work again? Does this mean I just bricked this frickin' phone??? I have not flashed a ROM (except perhaps to do the TMOUS update). Can I still make this work?
(I don't know where to post this so I apologize if this is the wrong one. But I thought since a lot of people are flashing their roms in this thread, someone have seen something similar to mine and can help).
I love this phone but this is ridiculous.
things to try

Try removing your memory card and doing hard reset. If that doesnt work try removing both memory card and your sim card and doing a hard reset. If that doesnt work try loading an original stock LEOIMG.nbh file onto your memory card and flashing from your memory card.
BTW, should be BOTH up and down volume keys and power button to get to hard reset screen. Then volume up to restore.
Hope that helps.

I did mean volume UP and DOWN. Anyway, I tried your suggestions but same result. Still stuck.
So I proceed as if I am updating to the newer T-Mobile version. I followed the steps posted here:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml?
However, when it came to the part where I had to make sure I have active sync established, I actually could not tell as it shows on my PC that I am not connected but at this point I really have nothing to lose. However, that said, in bootloader mode on my phone I see USB when I connect the phone to PC and then it reverts to SERIAL when I disconnect. So I thought, what the heck, it seems to be connected. AND VOILA, I was able to flash using TMO's updated ROM (the one I had just before all these mishap). WHEW! As much as I hate hard resets, I'd take it over bricking.
Thank God for TMo's excellent instructions on that site. I tried reading the instructions for flashing here and I just could not understand all these SPL, HARDSPL2 crap.
If I have to do another hard reset after I set this all up again I am going to scream!!!
