So I been searching on the forum for a while now, still haven't found the solution. Well I was deleting the status bar on the bottom of the screen from the registry. Then I did a soft reset, but it kept repeating itself on the boot. T-mobo screen, the Window mobile screen, turns black, then back to t-mobo screen and so on. So the solution to that problem was to take out the memory card and reboot it. But thats kind of annoying since I have soft rest once in a while and I don't want to keep taking it in and out. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
don't want to bash the n00b here but you could try posting this in the correct section. the t-mobile wing is not the same thing as a HTC wizard. you should try posting this over in the HTC herald section.
oh I'm sorry. I been looking through this forum and been dling things from it here. So I thought it would fit here. Thanks tho.
Sorry, but... along the way I did something that had the same effect, multiple reboots after a soft reset.
The only thing that worked was to hard reset and to rebuild my set-up (including removing the T-mo tray). Works fine now.

Quite a few threads on this.

Search soft reset loop, or boot loop and you'll find what you're looking for.
yea thanks for the reply. I couldn't take it anymore, so I did a hard reset.

Hoping you guys can help me out with a problem I've encountered with my cingular 8125 (wizard).
My wizard is brand new, about a week old. No modifications, i.e. box stock. I'm still playing around with it, trying to figure out how everything works. Just out of curiosity I performed a hard reset, to see how that works. And guess what, the thing is not booting up now.
It's stuck in the cingular startup screen with the radio and os/rom info on it. I've tried to perform another hard and soft reset, but it's not working. What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Help!
Thanks in advance!
Take battery out for 2 hours and leave device not plugged in - for good measure take out the minisd card. should boot up then or you will be able to do hard reset.
let us know how you get on
Okay, I'll give that a shot. I was totally like, wtf? Now what did I just do? :wink:
Nick
Okay, that didn't work....
Any other ideas out there? I don't see any other way to get this thing working again.
There are some other threads about this issue but with no simple fixes - search 'stuck on boot screen' or 'wont hard reset'
but i think you have a faulty device and quickest thing is to go and exchange it.
Okay, I figured out how to do it. Evidently I didn't press the hard keys in the correct sequence and/or coreect length of time.... :roll:
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm back to playing with this cool toy some more.

I'm not sure exactly why it's happening, the last thing i remember doing before this problem occurred was uninstall some programs, and decrease the text size in settings.
But everytime I power on the handset, it will boot up fine. But then the activesync information screen (the one that shows your recent syncronizations) will pop up, and my phone freezes up right there. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, everytime I reset my phone its the same problem. I'm able to do a soft reset at this point, but that's pretty much it.
If it's any help, one of the programs I removed was pTravelAlarm (Burr oak software) i got rid of that because i was getting a "Cannot execute \Windows\pTAmgr.exe" Notification Error during startup, which now that I mention it, the error still pops up even after i removed it.
Is there anyway to perform a hard reset without having to be in windows, or connected through activesync?
Or am i pretty much boned at this point.
You don't need or want to be connected to Active sync when doing a hard reset!
Hard reset is pressing both soft keys at the same time as poking the stlus in the soft reset hole. This takes device (after some menu screens) back to the way you got it originally.

We're all newbies to start with and we're all still newbies with some aspect or other of Hermes or WM5.
Use this thread if you have problems with hard reset.
Mike
I did a hard reset, and its working just fine. Though i do think i'll be updating the ROM, seeing as i've had many problems with the phone freezing up and recycling itself under the OEM ROM. Thanks again

Ok first off. Nice Site here. There is a LOT of informative stuff here, and it's really great. You guys know yourr stuff. Unfortuantely it wasn't enough...for what I needed.
I tried fishing through this site to see if anyone has had the same problem that I have had, and no luck.
This is my girlfriend's OLD phone, so before it officially becomes a worthless paperweight, I'll try and fix it and sell it while some value is still attained to it.
What is does in a nutshell is the buttons seem to not work a lot. And randomly brings up the Start menu up with any button you press. If you let the page sit there it seems to get a little better and doesn't bring it up AS MUCH. But mainly the buttons seem to be messed up or something.
I tried installing a new ROM from this site, and I COULDN'T DO A HARD RESET. I tried over and over and even had a helper. It just seemed to not work. I would get stuck at the Tmobile page forever, and be forced to put back the OEM ROM. Then it would work again.
But sometime it would be fine for a while. The thing is, it's unreliable. You never know when it's going to NOT work, and start messing up again.
I'm at a total loss.
Ok. THe absolutley WILL NOT HARD Reset in any sort of way. Just tried it out again. It just does a soft reset everytime
Hello,
I'm kind a new to this forum but found lots of useful information so I hope you can me.
When I push the lock screen button (power button(, the screen gets locked, but there is no way to unlock it again. I tried everything, but i keep ending up with soft resetting the device because this is the only thing that helps. This also happens when I put the phone on my desk for example and when I come back I can't unlock it. The screen stays black. I already did a hard reset several times but it doesn't help. Also, the hermes won't read my sim-card. I hope someone can help me. And I apologize for my vague description of my problem. Any question i'll try to answer
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have the fairly well documented problem of the Hermes failing to come out of sleep mode and needing to be reset.
You may get some ideas here:

Check the items A,B,C etc first and note item G as that can be a common cause of the freezing problem.
Mike
Do you know anything that will fix the problem with my sim-card?
Thank you so much for your help!
Also the screen still locks eventhough I preformed the steps said above!
I'm starting to think that I can't fix it
Can someone help me out?
I already asked this before and I got some good tips. The problem now is that my screen locks even quicker than it did before.
I pressed the I.E to log on here funny enough,when suddenly my hd2 did a master reset by its own accord. A full master reset not a soft reset. How can this be even possible ?. This is crazy doing it by itself. After a while i tried setting up my internet again when it froze. i did a soft reset and now its stuck in load up(blue o2 screen). tried taking battery out and in and several soft resets but same. help.

are you sure you havent tried flashing a custom rom recently?
Thankyou for the fast reply. My hd2 is still basically standard. No roms flashed ever. last thing i downloaded was yesterday which was win office 2010 update on market place. phone has been fine all day.
started working again. i saw that somehow only had 11mb left on device memory. it was 90mb a few hours a go. i started looking into win and what suddenly swallowed my memory when it has self master reset again. Going to call it HAL from now on lol. Im just leaving it on charge at moment.
Just a quick update.. I managed to beat hal to it and do a master reset. Seems to be working ok. Even opera working again. I think it was the app i downloaded from market place. All i can think off.
all the best and good luck
mine is on repair now, got oily thingy on the center of screen...

this is the most unadequate place to post this question, probably it's a case of thread hijacking, anyway those would be games programmed to specifically work on VGA screens, there's no way that I know of to make them work in WVGA, because they just don't know how to
sorry... was browsing through... didn't mean to post hear... but thanks anyway
