Hi guys, been reading the forums for some time now but my first post since i think i've briked my device lol, today i decided to give the omapclock a go, and found a clock speed of 240mhz (read other threads saying it was fine, and i also made sure it was functioning right.. then decided to register the speed using the updated version....
then when i reset my wizard it just hangs on the wm5 screen, the radio rom seems to load as i can hear it via the speakers on my pc... question is, is it recoverable?? its not been modded i.e its got the factory rom on it and radio, and i can get into bootloader mode okay with USB support... can i interface with it somehow, might be a good hance to try wm6, however i think its briked and not holind much hope..
can someone please advise?

have you tried hard reset?
yes tried holding down the power button, pulling out the battery etc
doesn't sound like hard reset to me, try holding the comm&voice_dialing buttons while "poking" the reset hole
says booting in safe mode but still hangs
by comms and dialling button do you mean the green answer phone?
thank you so much the hard reset worked, was quite awkward figuring out how to hard reset lol
no problem, now you can go back to breaking stuff
yup going to try an upgrade to wm6 now, wish me luck!

Hi I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I love my S200 it is perfect in every way, just lately after installing mNotes though i have had numerous problems, which seem to be only cured temporally by hard resetting the device.
I reset the device then within the next 1- 2 days I have lost my Bluetooth connection, it all seems OK but you cannot turn it on, when you click OK and go back and check both the Bluetooth on and discoverable boxes have had the crosses removed.
This problems also seems to extend to the sound when you turn it up, the phone turns it down.
And activesync just seems to stop working requiring a hard reset.
It almost like even after hard resetting the phone keeps hold of some of the old settings, is there a way of making it factory default apart from a hard reset, ie a HARD HARD reset ?
I need to get the mNotes working to stop my company forcing me to have a blackberry, but at this rate my device is hard rest almost every 24hrs.
Also how the hell can you back the device up now, in the old Activesysnc you had the option but now its gone !!!
Here’s hoping some one has the answer.
Cheers
Could you please tell how you hard reset your device? What version is your ROM?
I hard reset the device by pressing in both camera and record buttons and then pressing the stylus into the hole in the bottom, hold the record button in and let the other out, it then gives you the choice press sned to reset or any other button to escape.
The Rom is 2.9.7.24 WWE
Date 2/9/06
Radio 02.07.20Protocol 413.1.03
Ext rom 2.9.7.106
Cheers
It's quite unlikely that any settings from installed programs could remain after a hard reset.
After the next hard reset, I would try to use the phone without any program installation to make sure that it works under its default settings. If problems come back, then you may have a defective device and would have to return it back to your customer support. If there is no problem I would then try to install program one by one to make it clear which program causes the problem. Good luck!
Bluetooth not working
Also seem to have the same sort of problem.
Bluetooth works ok for several days and then for no reason refuses to connect to my bluetooth car kit and have to do a hard reset and start agn.
This has happened several times now.
Device is UK Orange M600 Standard rom etc.
Was wondering if to flash with a different rom maybe i-mate to see if this cures it. any ideas anyone.

This is what I have done for the last 6-7 days, it is now becoming very frustrating. Even my old MDA did not require this much attention.
Now thinking about putting in the latest Dopod Rom.
Hard reset last night , no bluetooth now and Activsysnc no longer works.
So I supose its another h-reset or an upgrade ??????
Agree with you to try to upgrade it to the most recent Dopod 818Pro ROM (ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE). I have been using this new ROM for a while without any serious problems.
Ok, Ive got a new problem with my XDA Exec.
Opened it up and tryied to turn on the backlight and nothing. tried a soft reset, nothingtried a hard reset now it just sticks on the splash screen, the red writing comes up on the right and side and just hangs there forever!
Please help
You're stuck. apparently the only remedy is turning it in to repair. For most of us it is under warranty.
Just off the phone to 02. Theres sending me a new one via courier on monday. it's less than a day old.
Is this a comon fault with the Exec?
erm ... I managed to experience this problem.
I was trying to uninstall SPB GPRS thingy that comes with the O2 package, and it just wouldn't go. I ended up deleting the program files and getting an error when it started up, so I deleted the GPRSNotify file under Startup. It never worked again ...
I got the splash screen, tried soft and hard resetting and various permutations (including standing on one leg and while holding breath) ... nothing. Did try to install fresh ROM, but startup wouldn't get far enough to let PC load ROM over USB.
Ended up contacting O2 who sent me a nice shiny new one, as it was only three weeks old. This time I haven't installed GPRS monitor thingy, and I don't intend to fiddle with it again ... or at least until I've forgotten my lesson ...
Sorry i ment to give you guys an update on this. I did manage to get it working again, although i still accepted the new one the sent to me.
What i did was installed a new rom off the 02 website. at 1st the computer couldnt see the phone so wot i did was enter what i think was the programming side of the phone. i found the instructions on how to this on the net. i think i pressed the 2 soft keys and the light switch while pressing the reset switch with the stylus (i think that was the buttons but unsure as i cant find the page again) when the screen light up again there was some faint writing on the screen with the word serial or usb. Double clicked on the rom file and 30mins later my phone was revived.
Funny it was the gprs monitor that i too installed before the phone screwed up? ive since installed it again on the new phone and have had no problems with it since.

hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards
Ash
Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

Hi all,
I appreciate any help here as i'm relatively new to this.
I have a hermes with the sprint rom update and that's it. I was recently trying to update to a different rom and I keep running into the same error. I don't know what my bootloader version is, and the ok power and reset button doesn't bring me into that mode. my camera button does, and I also don't see any of the spl information that's asked to be picked. However I just do the force, and it almost works and It brings up the screen where it actually should start loading...however here comes the problem. it keeps telling me that theres a usb connection problem.. I have several chords and tried them all and nothing seems to work. I checked other forums for this problem and found none..although I am horrible at looking. any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
Did you HOLD the three buttons (ok, power and reset button) in until the phone reset?
I'd say to try the sd card method but 1st you need to install Hard SPL to make sure you CAN FIX it if something goes wrong then upgrade your rom. If you haven't flashed any other rom before I'd bet my bottom dollar you have a "dangerous" SPL to try flashing with.
Try the three buttons again like I said then, if your SPL isn't 2.10 olipro (yeah, right), read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
It will provide you with the right tools to start flashing.
Cheers....
thanks for the help. however the ok button still isn't doing it. is this common? I can only assume the mode where the three color bars displayed on the screen is the boot loader. and I see nothing about olipro. I hold the ok power and reset button and it boots upp like a regular soft reset. but with power camer and rese, then its colored screen. I'm not sure if this makes any difference...

Hi there, your sprint mogul is a Titan

Heres a link to the Titan wiki.
I have Imate K-jam G4
and while i was trying to flash it with the new WM6 i make mistake by the steps so I get Error and then my phone won't work anymore no lights and no power no charge .
I try to get the phone to the flash mode by hold the camera button and press the soft rest, it didnt work and the phone still off
i try to hard reset the phone by holding the communication button and the voice command button and click the reset button while iam holding and it didnt work.
i remove the battery for a while and get it back in and even this didnt make it alive,
this phone is special for me and i wont lose it, so i hope anybody could help me and i would be completely thank full for every advice
Its a G4,did you get it HardSPL or you were upgrading through SoftSPL,which rom were you trying to flash ?
Sounds all to familiar! Time for a new motherboard probably.
trying to be more optimistic than rmcknight....before searching for a new motherboard check your battery if it's completly dried out....try to charge it thrrough another phone if that doesn't work either check the "Dead wizard? NEVER! Let's revive!" thread here in the forum if you are a skilled technician...if not...it's time to search for a new motherboard....
