Help!! - I somehow registered Omapclock at 300mhz and now my MDA simply reboots all the time. A few times I was able to randomly pound the keys to get to the today screen, but then the device would turn off and reboot. I usually get to a few seconds of the Windows Mobile screen before it starts all over again.
I thought I could try to just reload the stock T-Mobile rom, but Active Sync will not recognize the machine in time before it reboots. Is there a way to reload the stock T-Mobile rom from the Mini SD slot. Do you think it is rebooting so quick because the MDA is heating up so much quicker because of the higher mhz speed now?
Is Omapclock even causing this or is it possibly something else (I did nothing else except the omapclock mhz screwup).
All I want to be able to do is either get to the Omap unregister screen or reload the stock rom. TIA
Two options to try...
1) Hard Reset
2) Put the phone in bootloader mode (Turn it off, hold down the camera key and then turn it on) and flash a new rom (active sync won't connect but you can still flash a rom)
I knew about the hard reset via software, just discovered the 2 button / soft button reset. Kind of hard to do with my uncoordinated fat fingers, but finally got it a hard reset and clean slower rom. No more 300 mhz for me!!! Thanks for the quick reply!!
Be glad that you were able to perform the hard reset. A few Wizards have known to become bricks due to extreme overclocking.
I'm happy that your's wasn't, at any rate.
hi
I like to know how to "hard reset via software" .
and hardware
can you please tell me?

Hello, for some reason myTMobile MDA (HTC Wizard) is not booting up. It is hanging in the Windows Mobile screen. How do I hard reset? Is there any other way to give life to my WM5 PPC?
comm manager + vc button + soft reset - soft reset + 2 secs - comm manager - vc button + talk = hard reset
Sure, after I flashed my wizard to the Qtek 2.8.7.1 test ROM, it hangs on the windows mobile screen or only half of the today screen could be displayed sometimes, not always and not so frequently, seems have to bear it until the shipped version come.
Hard reset not working for me
The standard hard reset method of comm+record+reset doesn't work for me, and I'm also experiencing a crash during bootup (nothing works!). Is there any other way to perform a hard reset?
I have also noticed that mine hangs during boot.
However if i keep pressing the direction button (any direction) and just stop the backlight going off then it will boot up eventually.
My wizard often hangs during booting. It's very annoying. Does anyone know of a way to get it to reboot without removing the battery? When I remove the battery it forgets the date and time, and I often forget to reset them, so it's stuck in 2006 and nothing works.
I've found that it seems to boot better if you wait a while between turning it off and turning it on, especially cooling it off in between. (I am not overclocking it)
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
Hello!
1 hour ago I installed program "OmapClockKeep", I set minimum 147MHz and max 247MHz and I softrestart.... And - After restart it shows only start screen of windows and either restart or freeze...
What can i do?
I hope I don´t damage my lovely elfin with 6.1 completely...
Please help me, I´m agonized
Thank you all!!
Hi!
If OmapClockKeep cause CPU's damage, your touch won't restart..
Try to do a hard reset (Press End+Call key, then reset).
I would recommend using HomeScreen PlusPlus, as it has a built-in fail safe feature which will reset your cpu speed back to norm after 2-3 resets within a short period of time.
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_def_im_cs.htm
Which worked great for me when overclocking my Elfin. Although it always had issues at the 247Mhz mark, going above or below it was fine, even close to 300Mhz it ran smoothly. Just stay away from 247 for now.
Plugging in the mains charger sorted a similar problem for me. The phone seems to run at 200Mhz when on charge.

Hi,
I have got my trinity phone one year ago and never had a problem since last week. When starting my phone, it stops on the first screen (with "orange" logo) and nothing more happens.
I tried to reset it without succeed. The phone is not detected by the "activeSync" to make it flushable.
Help please !

my problem is mor or less the same... only that dont apears any image on screen and the green led is constantly on...
I have loaded a long time ago an old version of ROM Gelly.
This ROM worked perfectly to a friend who suggested to do the same with my trinity.
The PROBLEM is that when i try to open the pda it freezes to the first srceen showing the rom version and after....nothing!
I tried to load again Gelly from the bootloader, it begins to run, it runs about 1% then the trinity makes a flash (this means it loses the connection with the pc) and then shows me again the first screen....
Please i need help!
me to. i try install the rom original and my pda is living again.

hi,
2 things ...
have you tried a hard reset ? (hold both softkeys & hit reset button)
and when flashing:
when you first run the rom upgrade from PC with phone on Activesync, it is quite common for phone to hang at the bootloader screen ...
worry not -
just re-run the upgrade from PC again immediately, without disconnecting or attempting to switch phone off.
(the word USB should be visable on device under the coloured bars)
if you do get hung up at bootloader screen a hard reset should at least get you back to where you were, and you can try re-flash again.
hope this helps,
regards,
Kevin
My trinity won't work anymore...
Hi all!
My trinity wont't work anymore. When i press the ON/OFF-button, the display is lighten up a bit, then the buttons are lighten up. And nothing more.
When i will go to bootloader mode, it is the same.
And when i will to a hard reset, the trinity ask me to press SEND or END key for restore factory default or cancel. When i choose the SEND key, on my display some ridicoulous letters appear, but nothing more.
When i try KITL mode, everything is the same.
Can someone help please?
Because i can't do something on my trinity
EDIT (maybe this can help my helper ):
After some time, the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore.
When i try to charging the battery, it only works, when the buttons are not lighten up (when i switch on, charging is ok; when the display is lighten up a bit, charging is ok; when the buttons are lighten up, charging won't work; when the display and the buttons are not lighten up anymore after a time, charging is ok)
