you're hard spl'd right?
go into bootloader and try again.
if the soft reset key doesn't work, try taking the battery out.
Use a file explorer (Total Commander or Resco) to rename \Windows\omap850_sdhc.dll to omap850_sdhc.dll.old and reboot.

This has happened to me several times.
I am unable to delete files properly on file explorer. When i try to delete a file, the wait icon (rotating colors) shows up. Then it never goes away!
When i force the program to close and turn it back on again, the file's gone so i know something's happening.
I tried waiting for the wait icon to go away but it never does. I left my XDA alone for 3 hours and it was still rotating.
Anyone have the same experience?
Programs installed on my device are:
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2
PHM Reg Editor
Microsoft Voice Command 1.1
NoviiRemote
Help!!!
~ishtangli
try using total commander insted it dont have those issues
Has it ever happened to you as well? Ran perfectly a couple of days ago...
Mine tends to be fine when I first rebuild it (and touch wood, some 5 weeks after it's still ok) but I definitely know what you mean. The file does eventually delete, but things such as deleting folders on either the phone or storage card usually involve closing File Explorer, opening and opening again before they disappear.
Yep,
I had that problem
Had to do a soft reset and all was fine, never had it again
Yes! I had that problem loads.
What Rom are you using?
I dont have any of the software you listed, and my problems didnt match the installation of any new software on my device either so I think its a rom problem not software.
I had 1.66 and no problem, then when I upgraded to a hacked 1.72 rom it happened all the time. I found you could delete files via the pc on usb, but not from pocket file explorer.
Reseting the device wouldnt make the problem go away, but a hard reset did.
After a few weeks it was back though.
Ive just gone up to the latest official o2 rom, ill let you know if it happens again.
I've recently started getting this problem on 1.60... It's been fine ever since 1.60 came out until a few weeks ago...
If I delete a file, close explorer and then go into memory and stop explorer (which then says it isn't responding), i can restart explorer and the file will be gone....
Another thing i noticed is that if i copy a new file onto my device using ActiveSync and have explorer running, it doesn't update to show the new file until i stop it and restart it!!
GSFinder+
Use GSFinder+ instead of File Explorer. Its a freeware utility. You can download it from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/gsfinder.shtml .
It copies/deletes files quite quickly.
ive got the problem, do a soft reset WITHOUT any sd card in..works fine then
(mods i would appreciate if you could make this a sticky for people... ive worked long and hard trying to get this thing working again)
Ok so heres what happened to my XDA which proberly happened to yours.
I went onto the 02 site and got the latest radio stack upgrade for my xda, but i didnt have the sim in my device so once it finshed and restarted the xda it crashed because there was no sim in it. So i hard reset it.
Causing it to hang on the boot screen showing the G & U letters on the side for about 4 minutes before booting to a blank screen with the keyboard icon in the corner.
*** Please remember at the moment my status LED isnt working showing there is no battery (but still booting etc - P.S i have installed a new battery - no diffrence) ***
Heres how to get it working...... remember that everything takes longer because the XDA lags like mad.
Ive created this guide myself ive took nothing from anyone else info ive done this from scratch, it will need to be done everytime the machine runs out of power (hard resets).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* when i put " + " it means AT THE SAME TIME e.g button1 + button2 = keep pressing them at the same time.
** I refer to the directional keypad centre button as the "OK" button.
Make sure you have the correct RSU Version from here :>
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError
Download it and put the files onto an SD card.
1. Boot up the device
2. keep pressing the OK button + volume button until it shows the today screen, please note there will be no titles on the screens, HENCE NO START BUTTON.
3. Then press the contacts button + THEN OK a few times, then press the OK button this should bring up the start menu
4. CLICK programs, file explorer, select the SD Card. Then Copy RSUPGRAD.exe to : my device > windows>start up.
5. Copy the remaining 3 files to the : my device > windows
6. Soft Reset Device
7. Click on start (on the upgrade util) it will then restart the device because theres no LED for the battery (hence the 1% then fail).
8. Once started it should then start up as it did when it came out the box giving you the windows setup screen.
9. Go into file explorer and delete tha flas util file from the startup.
Thats it!
- Remember if you hard re-set the device again it will need to be re-done, i dont know how to solve this problem LONG TERM, im giving my XDA to 02 to fix it...... been as its there screw up.

Thanks Everyone

Does this actually flash the gsm radio? If it does then why does it need reflashing following a hard reset?
No it doesnt re-flash it.............
All i know is that it fixes it and many people have had the same problem but had no replys so id thought id help them out :roll:
Where are he diffreneces to the instrucions on wiki????
Stefan
huh? so your saying someone has already written the instructions?
Do you have a link? it will be intresting to find out how i can get my LED working again so the system will be able to work once more.
EDIT: IF THE BATTERY LED/STATUS IS UNKOWN (as in my case)
"Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery. "
Does not apply to you............... hence why my guide overcomes the one on wiki.
If you have had the situation happen to you, then you would undertsand.
would it be possible to use the xda developers 1.2 special edition ROM instead of the 1.1 version for this procedure?thats the only rom i seem to have found.
Boogie, I think you need only the radio stack not the rom if I read the post correctly. The special edition rom contains NO RADIO STACK.
That´s not 100% correct. I´ve noticed, that some ROMs wouldn´t boot up so that you can follow the procedure.....
Stefan
hey guys this is my 1st post to this forum, but for the last year or so I've found it very helpful.
I was experiencing this same issue it would just boot up and hang on the welcome screen for what seemed like an eternity. I gave up and just left it booting up and finally the today screen came up. This is what I tried and it worked. All of this was after a hard reset when I tried to upgrade the radio stack and it fell into this infinite loop of 1% and fail and reboot. I had read a couple of the procedures for doing a radio stack upgrade but here is some of what I did.
In one of the procedures it says to copy the files to ur ppc windows directory and to copy the exe file to ur windows startup directory. I figured I would bypass that in some way. After I finally got to the today screen and used my pc to copy the files to the sd card, I copied all the files to the windows directory on the device and ran the exe file from the windows directory. It worked like a charm and my ppc was back to life. It no longer took for ever to get passed the welcome screen. I hope this helps some of you that have this issue
Is there any way to boot a Wizard into a safe mode?
I dont want to hard reset , it boots, I put it my passcode and THEN it hangs, so it boots but something is killing it before it fully loads.
I think its the today screen itself that is hanging in, is there any way to disable/remove today plugins through active sync ? Add/Remove programs wont work, so am thinking I could probably disable the plugins and then reboot.....
If when you boot the phone and it hangs, it is still visible by Activestink, you could do in to your phone and remove the plugin files... then reboot, and if that in fact was causing the problem you might be ok.
Otherwise you'll be hard resetting. Hope you made a backup!
Yeah, it syncs if I dont put the password in. Only thing I would lose would be my SMS messages which haven't been backed up in a while. Bugger will be getting a new license for Opera.
Any idea where the plugins files are?
The thing that broke it was I installed O2 plus. I re-enabled RhinoStats cause I wanted to know how much CPU was taking, and I think it was the combo of these two things which broke it.
If I hold the power key down it does ask if I want to turn off my device, which is "nice"..... it's not dead but it certainly doesnt do much.
It wont add/remove programs, it gets half way through then dies.
ANd what happens if you break a today plugin? Does it fail to load and then have windows clean up after itself? Or does it royally break things?
Wont let me delete the rhinostats dll file and I dont know which O2 files I can delete so I shall not be touching those.
Have removed the sim card, will see if that helps get it into some sort of working state so I can fix the problems it seems to be having. -> Answer, no. Just shows a different screen when it gets round to breaking.
Any more ideas?
Ok, I dont know how I managed to do it, but this time (having now re-inserted my sim and removed the 2Gb SD card) it didn't immediatly die.
I cant explain it, I dont know if this is a coincidence, but I have now de-installed O2 plus and disabled all the today plugins I could find. I shall now be running a new backup.....
Now let's see if it dies.....
On a side note, anyone know of a way of exporting all the SMS messages in a format that is readable by a desktop computer (preferably via notepad/nano)?
if u want to backup ur sms msgs, there is a file called cemail.vol.
copy it to ur storage card, hard reset, then copy iy back again.

Hi Mohammad, i can't copy/paste it as it is locked by something. How to do it?
Regards...
try renaming the current cemail.vol to anything ..like cemail.volx then copy the old cemail.vol into the same directory where the new cemail.vol resides. soft reset.

but how can i backup the "old" one? as i said it is locked so i can't copy it...
btw: even renaming does not work because of the file being locked...
Tried checking it on my phone, and yes it can't, i guess this only works with Smartphones. I'm sorry for that.

DO you use an cocked or the Stock Rom?
If you use the Stock Rom it can be an problem with the SD Card.
Install Pocket Plus and put out the SD when it starts up normal then you know it is an problem with the SD.
There are many Threads of what to do, in the Forums.
Edit: You can try this: for the Reboot Problem, use an Fileexplorer as TC or Resco and rename the File omap850_sdhc.dll in Windows Folder to omap850_sdhc.old and softreset. For me once this slovt the Problem of Bootloop.

It was because i installed it onto my storage card i put it on my phone and now it works fine thanks anyway!
Can somebody help me out with hard reset?
Hello there, i accidentally opened a zip file in ''My Device folder'' on my windows mobile 6.5 (I have an htc eris copy) and opened a picture. Resco photo manager popped up and my phone froze. I took out the battery and turned my device on. It didn't boot and i got stuck on my "ERIS'' screen. I tried to hard reset without my memory card it first said ''checking valid image file'' then ''Step 3 error while updating: Card operate: read retry timeout". Then i tried to reset my device with my sd card and it said "step 3 error while updating : file operate : File does not exist." I do not have leo rom
What device do you have?
OK... it doesn't matter much. Reflash your WinMo. Have a look at your device's forums and stick to the instructions.
My device is not in the forums. How do you do a reflash?
Usually its power and call and send buttons, hold them all down after putting the battery back in. You can also check the manufacturers website/product manual for specifics.
Good luck
