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

I seldom activate MrTrueVGA. But tonight I did that for reading one PDF.
It leads me to hard reset the device right after a soft reset.
But the nightmare is ---
after hard reset, I press ACTION key to restore factory default as suggested. It takes few seconds to finish the default restore. Then I was asked to press POWER KEY to boot.
the device doesn't boot at all. just go back to the previous screen: 'Press ACTION to restore factory default or press Camera Key to exit'
If I press Camera Key, it just simply refresh the screen.
Seems the AMEO has entered an endless loop...
I have to try resetting the device in different way...
Now I mange to get the a dark screen as well as the ACTION key with Green light on.
any idea what mode is it (green light)?
Seems the OS couldn't startup after restoring factory setting. I guess I have to put the origin ROM back to the device instead of the updated WM6.
Continues tomorrow...
I've used it on my Athena with WM6 without a problem. Maybe something else is going on.
Is that an official release of WM6 for your device? I have no problem with MvRTrueVGA what so ever....
Have you tried flashing your device again?
I got my Ameo into a very similar loop. I took the battery out for a few minutes, then when re-inserted, I was able to "see" the Ameo from Sync Centre and re-flash the ROM...
Monocube SafeMode2 saved my butt various time with truevga..
the WM6 is download from here (t mobile version). I am looking for a way to flash back origin version.
BTW, other softwares I run after starup: USB mousr driver, WM5storage.
Sounds like the OS got killed. reflash the device
Thanks Olipro, I am a bit regret that if I had run your hard-SPL, probably i wouldn't experienced this problem.
The symptom do like OS got kill for some reason. I am wondering anyone had tried to hard reset after flashing WM6 ROM?
more update will come...
update:
reflashing ROM image solves the problem.
but i still believe MrTrueVGA caused the problem. Somehow it causes the conflict and blow up the OS.
I use MvRTrueVGA on WM5 and WM6 on my Ameo without problems.
(only smaller graphical bugs)
even changing the resolution never took me more than one soft reset
forget to mention, i use another software "scree orientation" at the same time.
maybe these two chaps don't work well together.
Hi,
i think some of you know the app Pocket Mechanic. I've installed it and select to defrag my trinity....now at the boot up it gets stucked because of the defrag...but not 5 Minutes...not 1 hour...till now 2 hours...same after softreset.
What can i do without losing all my files ?
I am sorry mate, same thing happened to me, but I didn't defrag however, I just soft reseted my phone, and it just got stuck at the windows mobile splash screen for yonks and never went into the OS.
Since then I hard reseted my device and everything went, I talked to Customer Support they said to leave the battery out for 4 hours or so but that didn't work.
Anyway, if you find an alternative solution for this, then please share it with us, but unfortunately the only solution I have is hard reset.
I encountered same problem where it was stuck at splash screen while trying to install a keyboard app from a cab file..... the only way I could fix it was a hard reset.
I don't know if the phone is bricked or what. Was in the store tonight, tried to text message my wife who I couldn't find and the phone was all locked up.
Soft reset, and only the date/time loaded, nothing would run. Soft reset again, and the phone didn't load past the bright splash screen. Tried soft reseting a bunch more times, nada. Did a hard reset, first one didn't work. I think it was the 3rd hard reset that took. Phone seemed like it was back to basic WM5, would be okay. Went home, put it on the charger.
Went to take it off the charger to reload data, and it won't turn on. Soft reset, freezes at bright splash screen. Hard reset, same thing.
Is my phone bricked? Anything that I can do to revive it? Or am I SOL?
Cingy/ATT 8525 w/WM5
(By "bright splash screen" I mean when the splash screen flashes brightly. It increases brightness, but just stays that way.)
Any help greatly appreciated.
I managed to load the official WM6 ROM (spl 2.03) via the built-in bootloader. I have radio, ROM, and GSM. It boots through the ATT animation, then freezes. It leaves a black screen with a blue and green static bar running horizontally across the screen about 1/4" thick.
I don't know how to get Hard-SPL loaded on the device because the only way I can see the device is when it's in the built-in bootloader mode.
will attempt PB/KITL I guess, though I can't at this point get the phone to display the KITL info.
No KITL in the ATT WM6 ROM.
Managed to get ATT WM6 ROM through the setup, after the "customization (bloatware)" it reset, and now it sticks on the bootup animation.
So close, I have SSPL and Hard SPL on the micro SD, if only I could get to the damn file manager. If I could somehow cancel out the customization process grrr.
On power charger, I seem to be able to get through the setup after a hard reset okay. It just won't boot after the reset.
Any ideas. I gotta get a few hours sleep. Sorry if this dialog to myself is in the wrong area, I didn't notice the "bricked hermes" thread was in the upgrades, etc area.

Not sure I fully grasp what's happening here, but if you want to stop the customisation then hard reset and when it goes to the loading cusimisation stage shove the stylus in the hole to do a soft reset and it will stop it loading.
Mike
Alright, thanks, will give that a try.
I managed to run the official ATT WM6 ROM and flash it without a hiccup (twice), and task 28 in bootloader says no bad blocks. So I am confused how I can flash an "official" ROM successfully and the device still won't work. Am starting to suspect hardware failure apart from memory.
Thanks a million mate, that worked. Phone boots now, already have SSPL installed. Need to update .net and activesync for Hard-SPL 7 to run I guess. Then I have more options.
Woot! I unbricked my phone
Once I was able to hard reset and cancel the "customization" I ran SSPL, then Hard-SPL 7, then I Super-CIDed the device.
I haven't tweaked the data settings yet, but I can send/receive phone calls. Which is a coup, because this is my main line.
It runs sluggishly. I don't know if that is the ROM or the device. It won't boot if it's plugged into USB, and after flashing Hard-SPL it isn't a recognized device by windows, won't connect to activesync.
I am treating the phone gingerly right now, will try and unload the ATT wap settings cab and restore my pim.
At least now I have the option to install another ROM if it bricks on me again.
I really should have flashed Hard-SPL the DAY, the MINUTE after the warranty was up. Lesson learned.
Or not.
ATT ROM locked up on me, decided to try Schaps 4.40. Won't load past WinMo "tap screen to setup" screen. Guess I'll try something else.
For a stable WM6 rom try TNT SE. It is REALLY stable but does come with some 3rd party apps. Thought you might like to get it working though first then try the other roms and in my experiance I haven't found many other roms that were THIS stable...
Hope you get it working...

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...

Have you tried to install another ROM? with a different Bootloader
Battery?
Check the Wiki, there is a lot of usefull info there
Good luck
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!

I solve my trouble reflashing my WM5 rom...
I used the Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE, very fast and very stable WM6 rom! Realy a amazing work by our friend Jwrightmcps!
Including, I want suggest here that all those that still suffering in WM5 (living slowly with crashes, troubles, crashes, more troubles and this poor and slow system), try reflash your HTC with a rom like this... my device reborn!! It was dead more now is alive!!! And much more fast and stable! Before it is slowly my old Jornada 720 (206MHz), but now it realy seems have 520MHz!
Thanks a lot for all.
The link for this excelent work is HERE:
Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE
(Download the apropriate rom to your device, folow the instructions and EnJoY!! Be HaPpY!!)
This rom don't supports 8GB SDHD cards, but download and Install 2 cabs below and it will support it:
CAB01 - SDHC_DRIVERS_FOR_C550_AND_N560_BY_GreateVK_AND_Fre ePK.cab
CAB02 - Signed_Storage_Settings_App.cab
Special thanks to big_quads for this solution!
My Touch HD doesnt respond, it hangs and restarts itself all the time. Today it chrashed totally and I cant start it no more. It comes to the text "smart mobility" then the softwareinfo in the right lower corner pops up and nothing more happens..
I cant do a hardreset. (tried with volumebuttons and powerbutton at the same time)
I cant upgrade the software..
Anyone had this issue before?
Servicecentre?
Sad times...
Cokey,
Can you even put it into the bootloader mode?
Cheers.
Ehrm, whats bootloader mode?
hold vol down, and press power on (keep holding volume down until screen comes on)
you should see a screen of 3 coloured bars
if you can do this, you should be also able to do hard reset. for a hard reset make sure you hold both the volume buttons down, and keep them held after you press power on
Tom
Okey, havent tried that yet. But hardreset wont work, with both volumekeys and power on...
I've just tried that bootloader mode and that works but a hardreset isnt working. It starts up as written above then the display fades out a bit. Nothing more happens...
Darn it...

Cokey,
All is not lost, don't worry. If you can get into Bootloader mode, then you will be able to flash a new ROM onto it. Go to the ROM section and follow crackwhore's very detailed guide.
Have fun flashing!
Cheers.

Thx for the help...
After maybee 20 hardresets starts it finally started...
All seems ok with it right now... Will leave it on over the night so Im sure it wont hang/restart again..
Again thx for the help..
(Flashing is something I wanna try but I really want my OS to be in Swedish )
I have the same issues. I am constantly reflashing the ROM because the phone will not last more than a day before being stuck on the Smart Mobility screen.
I have been flashing all of Dutty's different ROMs including LEO R4 and WM 6.5 R14 Turbo, WM 6.1 etc every day for the past week. It still freezes daily and when reboot, it gets stuck on Smart Mobility Screen. I am ready to throw it in the bin!
Anyone got any ideas. Flashing ROMs isn't working or fixing it as I have tried all sorts. I have also upgraded the Radio yesterday, still doesn't help. Tried also a new SD card, again, still freezes.

Have you tried reverting back to stock rom to see if problem persists? If so, return device under warranty
J,
USPL or HSPL? Do you install any applications, or do you leave it as it is and it still crashes in a day?
Cheers.

No luck
I think my warranty is out the window when I tampered with the screws and broke the VOID Warranty sticker.
I have used both USPL and HSPL and same issues occurs. I think I have narrowed it down... if I don't touch the onboard memory, ie not install anything to the onboard memory or touch it too much in that area, then it will tend to be okay. It starts to freeze and lock up at Smart Mobility Screen whenever I copy stuff or active sync etc.... so far anyway.
Looks like its going in the bin... last resort tomorrow, revert back to stock rom and see how long it lasts.
