SPV M600 Keeps soft resetting and other issues...

Guys I recently purchased a brand new SPV M600 from ebay and when I say its new, trust me because it was completely sealed and no marks/scratches on the M600 plus all the wires/leads were sealed etc, and he even sent me the invoice from Orange stating the date of purchase, accidentally I think as it contained his home address and telephone number!
Now when I first turned it on and charged the battery etc, I had a little play with it and it all seemed fine. I took it to work with me that day and at work it started to act strange.
First it started by soft resetting itself while I was in the SETTINGS window just tweaking all the bits and bobs to my liking. Anyway it started up again and this time it seemed ok. I tried opening all the menus etc as I had done before but it didnt soft reset again which was a little relief!
It worked fine for the next 10-15 mins after which I put it away and started doing some work which is what I should've been doing in the first place!
I got home in the evening and sat in from of my PC and turned on the PPC and this time it started at the Splash Screen instead of coming out of stand by! Weird as I didnt reset the device and its on Button Lock so it couldn't have happened by accident whilst being in my pocket!
The only problem was though, this time it stayed in the splash screen and wouldnt go past that! I soft reset it again but still no luck!
So I then went for the kill and did a hard reset, not that I lost anything as I didnt have any information on there. After the hard reset, it goes past the splash screen on to the blue nice looking Windows 2005 screen but it stays stuck there!
Did a hard reset again and this time it worked but it crashed when it was installing the customisation tools! It needed a soft reset again! After that it seemed to work ok... only for a little while before it started all over again!
Now this was the original Orange Rom and I have no idea which one it was and I didnt care because it had to go!
I came here and found that our friend Jester was upto his old tricks again and had released a modified version of the Qtek Rom, so I went for it and installed it without any problems (except for his very original spash screen which scared the hell out of my little sister and I didnt find it very comforting either but soon had it changed with Jester's HTC Splash screen).
But unfortunately the problem still remains and the same thing keeps happening. It soft resets itself once in a while and when I do a hard reset it gets stuck in either the Splash Screen or at the next screen which is the Windows 2005 blue screen.
Its like trial and error really, when you guys want to hard reset your prophet all you have to do is do it once, but I have to keep trying at least 2-3 times.
In some cases I need to do a hard reset and then a soft reset soon after when it gets stuck in the Windows 2005 blue screen! And even then its not over because when it gets to the installation of the customisation software, theres a good chance it'll crash there and will need a soft reset!
I tried to install the original Qtek Rom, the one which Jester modified a little but it wouldnt work and I'm guessing I only have the CID lock to thank for that! Mines a G4
Any idea guys? I'm totally screwed here as I cant send it back to the guy I bought it from because I have changed the Rom and thats not good because he cant send it back to Orange to get a replacement! I wish I hadnt changed the Rom and just sent it back to him but I thought it was a software issue.
I'm not convinced its a software issue anymore though!
If you made it this far then I apologise for making this post too long (was longer but I had to to edit out like 1/4), and bloody hell is that the time!
Anything from anyone would be much appreciated.
All the best.

My friend you should try to format your phone and install new operating System...Similar problem happened to me (mine just freezed and I had to reset it) so the new OS is the solution of your problem...So when you do that,tell us if everything is ok..And one more thing---This little mobile device is THE BEST you'll ever get for that amount of money-so keep it and take care my friend...
Greetings!

Alix, thanks for your post. I'm not too sure about that because like I said, it came with the original Orange Rom and even then it was like this, and after upgrading to the latest Qtek Rom, the problem still continues. So somehow I dont think its the software. I mean I hope it is the software as thats an easy fix if I can somehow get my CID unlocked and right now thats not possible on G4 Roms, unless I'm wrong and falling behind?
I have a feeling its the hardware and if it is then I'm screwed!
Thanks for your reply and hope to hear from others soon.

Have you tried to replace the battery? some times the battery causes this kind of behavior when its not supplying enough power to the phone.
try to HR with the phone connected to a wall charger (not to pc) and see how it goes.
if it reboots OK, so probably its a battery issue.

Shayd that was good thinking and I tried it right away but unfortunately it wasnt the case. It still needed 3 tries... one hard reset followed by two soft resets before it went past the Splash Screen.
I've just about had enough with this thing!
Thanks nonetheless.

8125 wont boot with sim

I have a 8125 and It crashed on me. Now whenever I try to boot it up nothing happens, no power on at all. But if i take the sim card out it boots up just fine.
I took the sim card out of the 8125 and tested it in my RAZR and it worked.
Any Ideas?
Thanks a ton guys.

It might be that you still have an old %V SIM card? Not sure if that would effect the WIZ but some phones just don't work with 5V SIM cards - only with the newer 3Volt SIMs. You could ask Cingular for a replacement. I guess every store could help you with that!
Also: try (if possible) another SIM card from a friend or from where ever and see if it works.

How exactly did it "crash"? What did you do after the crash? Have you tried a hard reset? Are you running a custom ROM?

Well I bought the phone online and it worked GREAT for about 3 days, then I was at work and it kept turning off by itself. I would restart it and it would sometimes boot up fully (about 1 in 3 tries). I watched it and when it would shut off by itself the screen would fade to white then power off. I did a hard reset and that didnt do anything.
I also tried going into boot mode and installing the rom on the HTC website. That failed to help either.
I then tried to install the "Love" ROM i believe its called, but my phone crashes while trying to install that.
Any Ideas?
Thanks again for the quick replies!

Did the phone come with a carrier ROM, or did it come with a custom ROM? Do you have a warranty? Have you contacted the seller?
It may be easier to get a refund and/or new phone, since it may have been a bad unit from the get-go.

The phone came with the cingular ROM, Im not sure if its still under warranty since i bought it from a guy on the net. Im guessing its not. Any idea how much HTC will charge if I send it into their "Out of Warranty" repair shop?
thanks!

This is happening to me too. I have HTC wizard (cingular 8125) with the current rom from the HTC site. I was using the phone in landscape mode, then shut the screen, and the phone just turned off when it closed. Then I went to turn it back on and it just faded to white after the cingular screen. Last program i installed was either BTaudio, or GPRSStallWorkaround.cab (i know, should've just edited reg). Any thoughts?
PS haven't tried taking out sim yet... will try
edit: tried w/o sim, same thing no luck

Help: No service.

I have a tmobile wing and I had it for awhile but just started using it again recently but when i put my sim card in the phone and turn it on it just keeps saying Searching...
I get service for like 2 minutes then it would just go away. This would happen when I leave the sim in the phone, it would get service once in awhile, like for 2mins every 2-3 hours, but never consistently.
My sim card works perfectly on other phones and when i insert a friends sim card into the wing it still has the same problem, it keeps saying Searching... I don't think its a problem with the sim card since it works fine with other phones.
I tried soft reseting it and hard reseting it but it still seemed to have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be or what I can do to try and fix it?

what radio rom does your phone have and what rom are you using?
you can check your radio rom by going to settings>system>about ( i believe). If not that, then settings>system> device info.
also, if you don't know what rom you're using, it's probably the stock rom.
It might also be that the particular spot you are in is just unlucky for reception and that other phones have better reception by design.

It says Radio version: 02.83.90
And i believe it is the stock rom since i never changed it or anything. and I doubt it is the area because I tried using it in several other towns.

anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

p4350
well on my p4350 over the past 2 weeks i have been receiving little signal like every 5 - 7 hours i mite get it for a bit but only for a sort time. i was wondering if it needs its radio updating?
any help?

Hi, I just want to share my story. maybe it could help you out.I had a wing for more than a year now. recently it had the same problem. it just don't have any signal at all, just keep searching. I tried what you did before. hardreset, softreset, and update the firmware. Nothing helps. since my phone is out of warranty, i can't send it to t-mobile. So i went to a local repair shop. They told me it could be hardware problem. I paid $50 to get it repair and no problem since. I don't know what they did, maybe replacing something inside. So don't just look at the software side, it could be hardware problem.

I have the exact same problem, and it's really pissing me off.

Screen goes mad

Hi guys, I am new to the HTC world .
I bought a Vodafone branded HTC Magic two weeks ago, but I had problems almost immediately. In practice, my screen goes mad and acts as if I touch randomly on the lower part of the screen itself. In order to get it back to work properly I have to turn it off and then on again, sometimes more than one time. Do you think it is a screen defect or it has something to do with the ROM?
I have hard resetted it but nothing changes (the ROM is not cooked, it is just the Vodafone one).
Thanks

Hi,
evene if I didn't get answers, I bump this topic because, after I sent my Vodafone Magic to HTC and they gave me a new one, I have the same problem.
Someone says that this problem is caused by a software incompatiblility with the SIMs from the Wind Italian operator, but I also tried with another SIM and I got the same problem (even if minor than with Wind).
Is it possible that no one had this problem?
I tried ROMs, patches, kernels, but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance

[Q] HELP - Unresponsive Screen

Hope any of you guys can help me on this. Last night my Leo's screen went totally unresponsive.
Could not get past the screen lock. Removed the battery, rebboted ... could not get the PIN code in.
I had seen this already two nights ago, but it got away once I moved in an area where I could get a reasonable signal (ultra-crappy where I am now on vacation).
Now Im'm beginning to think the signal thing was just a coincidence and that the problem is way more serious.
In total despair, I even tried a hard reset. To no avail.
Phone boots up fine. I can even sync to it (so yes, I can get to the registry). But since the only control is the screen ... not really a lot I can do with it.
I need to be in touch for work and I badly need the voice and internet connectivity (right now I'm using the wife's phone ...).
Any ideas besides getting an RMA from HTC?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Update: spoke with HTC support.
It looks like the issue is somehow triggered by the lock screen.
As suggested by HTC, I flashed again the 1.66 ROM upgrade and everything ran smoothly until the phone went in standby the first time.
Then, I was (and still am) unable to unlock the screen. And if I soft reset screen is unresposnsive again.
Right now I can just receive calls (I removed the PIN code from the SIM temporarily).
HTC told me to send it in for repair, but everything in Italy is closed until Aug 23rd and the only option I have is to ship it at my own expense to the UK and back (HTC will collect and deliver free of charge only within the same country).
Total bill some 100+ Euro plus driving 100 KM or so to the nearest courier collection point. A nightmare.
What really troubles me is that the problem surfaces only once the screen locks.
On one hand I follow HTC's support that if flashing 1.66 did not cure the issue, it cannot be software.
On the other hand, if it is indeed hardware, how come it freezes only after the first lock screen? Lock/unlock is a software thing. Screen should behave exactly the same way before or after the lock - shouldn't it?
Anyone here seen/heard of anything like this?

wow, gotta love those "closed for the summer" euro vacations.
If you reinstall the ROM, then why not disable the lockscreen until you can get it fixed?
You can install BSB tweaks and that has an option to disable autolock.

i had the same exact problem; it started freezing only on the lock screen then got worse and started freezing at random times while in use. I finally broke down and sent it in to HTC to check it out. I'm waiting to hear back with there diagnosis and I will pass along whatever they tell me.

Good to know the problem has come up somewhere else (if you're the only one you are most likely to hear it's your fault before they replace the most expensive component in the phone). Where are you located slimster?
How long have you been waiting for? HTC policy should be 7-10 working days from when they receive the phone at the lab (so they told me and I remember reading it somewehere here in xda too).
