HTC Prophet Slow Boot Up - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi does anyone know of a way to increase the boot up speed for HTC Prophet? Whenever i soft-reset the device, it takes approx. 3mins to boot up? Is there anyway to increase the boot up speed without hard reset or WM6?
Presently running WM5.
Thanks.

1. wrong forum
2. no. some official WM5 roms have really long boot up times. with a WM6 upgrade this changes.

Wing Reboot Issue

Question for the geniuses in the group: When I reboot my Wing, sometimes it hangs and has to be rebooted (soft boot) several times - today it was over 12! Does anyone else have this problem with the Wing? I don't have too much tinkering going on...
I have changed the pagepool to 6MB
I have SPB Phone Suit
total Commander
SMS Notification turned off
SPB Mobile Shell
And that's about it. Anyone else have this issue and if so, what have you done to resolve it?
Thanks in advance, Jamie
how did you change the pagepool?
On the wm6.1 roms, you can't use the old method because there is a different pagepool offset.
I just have WM6, not 6.1
I don't understand what you're asking... when you say it hangs do you mean it goes into boot loop? or just freezes?
You can try to rename \Windows\omap850_sdhc.dll to omap850_sdhc.dll.old and reboot... maybe that will help?
I mean that when I do a soft reboot or power it off and on again, it will hang/freeze while it's rebooting. Only part of the screen will load and the round pie looking thing will just spin and spin forever. It doesn't happen every time, but it's annoying when it does because it can take 5-10 additional soft reboots before windows mobile will load properly and my today screen shows up.
Hope that helps explain a little better
that's strange. If it were my phone, I'd hard reset or reflash the rom.
mine did this and i had to remove the micro sd card. then it would boot right up. hope that helps

Help! My XDA Exec aleatory stops in a black screen after soft reset!

Hi!
Please someone can help me?
I have a O2 XDA Exec with a SDHC 8GB...
I'm the second or third user that own this device. Because this, I don't know about roms upgrades with precision, but it's running WM5.
All was work fine... But some days ago, it was stopping in a black screen when I perform a simple soft reset...
I tryed remove the battery, all the cards (include the simcard), but the problem still there...
I tryed a hard reset, but the problem still there...
I tryed all that I know, but the problem still there again...
Trouble details:
The O2 XDA Exec aleatory freeze in a black screen after soft reset.
I persists pressing Reset key with some seconds intervals, untill it (aleatory) turn on the screen and load WM5.
The Bootloader and the HardReset screens comes normaly when calleds.
When I perform a hardreset, immediatly happen an freeze without the new system never was loaded before.
I disassembly the device and test the RESET key... there is no problem.
My big suspect is something corrupt in device's bootloader or other "BIOS" program.
I use many PDAs for a long time (8 years ago), but never see nothing like that...
Seed someone something like this before?
How can I solve this problem?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks a lot.
P.S.lease, excuse my poor english...

Hi, orb3000!
Thanks for your very quick answer!
Are there real chance this solve this kind of trouble?
Suggest someone a good, quick and stable WM5 rom to I try?
Are bootloaders upgradibles without need all rom update??
I'm trying understand what is happen. All we knows no erros are acceptable in ROM (firmware) upgrade... so...
Can someone explain to me how is made the XDA Exec (HTC Universal) boot routine??
Eg: In x86 PCs, first it load the bios, the bios load the setting that said to PC where is HD, the bios load the Master Boot Record with partition table, the partition table said to bios where is the active unitie with FAT, the active FAT said to bios where is the boot file, the bios said to processor load boot file to the ram and execute, etc.
Thanks!

Hard Reset + Soft Reset

Hi All,
Got me a P3400i a few days ago, and tried the usual trick of hard reset, followed by soft reset to get a clean vanilla WM6 setup, without all the HTC Custom stuff, but the phone just goes back to the main screen with "Tap here to setup your Windows Mobile device"
Have any of you encountered this as well?
Is there any other sequence to be followed to get RID of all the HTC stuff in the extROM?

I think improper extROM setup may cause a bad battery drain
SOLVED
Sorry, my bad....
It seems I had to do the soft reset before the customisation started. Its working fine now
Hard-resetting...... how?
I have tried pressing the reset button time and again but of no use. Problem is, my messaging option just doesn't appear. I mean, it's there, but when clicked, doesn't activate. Please help. It's been about a month since I bought the HTC p3400i
If your phone is patched or if you are ready to patch it (thus loosing your warranty), you can always get a custom rom with smaller, empty extrom. Or if you like to have the original ROM, get the original WM 6 ROM from this forum and the tool HTC ROM Image Editor, remove extrom.nb from the ROM and inject the 4 MB, empty version of extrom into it. YOu can get it by requesting any of the chefs here, including me

Help <urgently needed
Hi everyone,
I tried to upgrade my HTC universal from WM 5 to WM 6.5 using the rom provided by xda v1.01 (128MB rom).
I tried to install the upgrade from my laptop but during the process i noticed a sound indicating that the USB connection was lost. Now all i can see in my phone is 'Serial' at the top and 'v1.01' at the top. Aside that, the phone's literally DEAD.
Is there anything I can do about the phone or is it wasted?
Would appreciate any form of response.
Thanks.
