Hello Friends,
I am just about to throw my TC out the window.
I am sorry to say that I am very disappointed, although I don't understand why, I read many people very happy with their TC and mine ***SUCKS***.
I have received my phone (second hand) about 3 months ago, and it was with Original WM 6.1 rom.
After a few days of usage I have had to (follishly I think) install a cooked rom, the first was UDK's, after a few tries I came accross Khanx and others..
Since then my life has become a catastrophy, every 1-2 days I have to hard-reset and re-inall everything, I have tired to use SPB Backup, but when I try to restore there are a lot of problems and the device just won't work properly.
I have tried a few times to install back the Original WM 6.1 but it does not help.
I am syncing my "Contacts" and "Calendars" "Tasks" etc even had "Notes", but sometime not all of the contacts go in, sometimes the unit freezes, resetting it just deletes all the information.
A few weeks ago, I installed the Khanx 1.4 full, and the unit operated for a few days without any problem, all contacts were in and all calendar was in, stopped using the Microsoft Notes and bought PhatNotes to use with it.
A few days of ahppiness and then suddenly again the unit froze and hard-reset it self and "voila" since then again, installing trying to sync and hard reseting, frezing etc etc.
A few days working with WM 6.1, but after installation there is always a color problem with the minutes on the Home Screen, again a few days working with this problem but once again the unit hard-reset itself one f... day and all the contacts/clanedar etc gone.
Is there anyone out there that could maybe hint me to what is my problem, is it the unit, the roms, the radio (which believe me I have tried all of them).
H E L P M E P L E A S E .
Why hard reset? soft reset dont work?
What programs do you install? i use UdK R4. try to use it without installing extra programs.
If you have to hard reset again. write down everything you do. maybe some other program is broken
TC Problems.
Well actually it is not me Hard Reseting it is the TC doing it on itself, ofcourse I can soft reset.
I have had also a issue with the soft reset, after which usually I looose the radio signal completely, tried many radio's while keeping the last one 1.59.42.15 which had the best signal.
Well actually the last rom I used was UDK R4, installed and everything was ok till I tried to sync with the computer, I have about 510 contacts and I get syncced only 380 (this issue was and is why I did not continue working with UDK release).
I am going to write down from tomorrow morning a small diary and post it for people to see what I really do and maybe just maybe someone will find the fault.
Thanks.

I don't Know of this advise will help, but I noticed that a lot of settings from older ROM's will stay in the memory. So you have to clean your device severall times (hard reset) before shooting a new ROM.
Try to install your apps en data on your SD card. There are programs to move your data to the SD in that way you don't have to install them new again -(pocket mechanic)
Good luck !!
@irsw
You have not mentioned whether or not you installed HardSPL 1st, ie. before you tried the cooked ROM's ??
delete the phones details from active sync and then name the phone something else before re-syncing it to the PC. It seems to me that this is a sync issue. do you sync the phone to more then one pc or even charge it from more then one PC?

Serious, I have no idea why! Few days ago it worked fine. Today, after installing the new intellidialer.dll (for german Umlaute: f.e. Ö,Ä), the intellidialer doesn´t come up anymore. I could only dial numbers without any suggestion of names. So I put the old dll back again and made a softrest. But still no effect. Next idea was to install intellidial from exROM again. So I installed:
IntelliDialer_Magician_T-Mobile_GER_RC20.CAB
and
IntelliPad_Magician_T-Mobile_GER_RC20.CAB
Result: I got back the damn T-Mobile branding and still no effect on intellidialer. May I missed something. Any suggestions?
i have same problem after Big storage 1.13...my intellidial doesn't work even after installing the IntelliDialer_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC20.CAB
any advice?
I think the intellidialer.dll was not loaded normally. Try to backup your PPC with SPB backup etc. and hard reset your PPC. install intellidialer_magician...R20.cab， then recover your ppc from your backup.
tried & no help...
still can't have intellidial.funny thing is if i use my old 1.11 extended rom intellidial patch,i works.Buts its version 13..compared to version 20 for the 1.13.
any difference between the 2 versions anyway?
I upgraded my Blueangel to windows mobile 6 a couple of days ago, yesterday i was reset it. when it powered on i have the windows mobile 6 screen and nothings happens thereafter, it is not connection to activesync and i m not able to ROM Upgrade.
Please help me ASAP
read the wiki carefully
try a hard reset after and do the no+yes+yes ritual in the hard reset.. it should worked...
regards
adri
baybe it is because third party software you installed, it happened to me with the touchflo which replaced the touch.dll with another one for another device, also with HTC Plus today plugin
I had it after installing VBAR... you have to reset it and press the record and camera button, then clear the registry HIVE and press the mail button... it will be hard resetted but in wm6 you don't lose any data, just some settings and cabs...
Yeah, I got this problem too a few days ago.. annoying...
When I tried to back up my data using Sunnysoft backup manager, BA had to restart, and then it stuck in the WM6 page... ended up clearing the whole thing again using the no yes yes option...BA was able to start up on safe mode though... weird
I only had this problem once though....
Hmmm, interesting few people have this problems with different circumstances, however leading to the same problem...
is it really WM6 issue or is it 3rd party apps issue?

good question!
it just happened to me as well.... i had an almost fresh install of WM2006 (just downgraded, merged Extrom and upgraded again).
I installed some few cabs and eventhough it worked fine for a day, it then started to freeze while booting again and again....
i never had the problem before merging the rom though...
it happened to me also, after doing a soft reset using pbar. it ends up in the green screen with the microsoft logo without going any further. i've tried several soft resets after but it always ends up in that mode.
had to perform a hard reset and install my favorite apps again.
well maybe there are some incompatiblityes with those programs you mentioned, i have not use them my BA has the default apps (the posted cabs) Sprite Backup 6, Htc Home 1.5, Adobe Flash Lite and i have no problems at all

have you installed all cabs you posted (cabs & cabs2)?
in what order?
whats Sprite Backup?
and which one is the HTC Home 1.5? (i only see HTC Home6?!?)
sorry, but i am really getting more and more confused...
regards,krz
Sprite backup is the best backup softweare IMO, yes all cabs (cabs and cabs2) Home6 is HTC Home 1.5
thank you very much for your answer, xplode!
there are three HTC HOME6 cabs out there:
1) Helmi HomePlug_Comp.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive FLASH.zip
2) Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab: found in Helmi_C's WM2006 archive AddOn.rar
3) HOME6: an archive with two folders (WM5 + WM6) and HTCHome.cab
are there any differences?
is one better than the others?
i never found an answer to these questions...

Use Home6 if you want to be able to modify the HTC Home tabs from 6 (default) to less than 6..... this is the only one working....
With Helmi_HTCHome6.. it also works, but cannot modify the tabs......
never tried the other one....
OK OK I had this problem and it solved it without losing data. First i tried to reset the device , like 30 times with no success. Even with a hard reset it didnt work. So you just Put ur device in the booloader mode and then soft reset it and voila. i dont know if it's really the correct solution but it worked for me for 3 times when i had that dumb WM6 screen. It's because of Battery status software ( 100% sure )
BA Freezing

Can anyone tell us which third parties programs that cause the freezing or which are compatible whit WM6. To used or avoid them.
Hi,
same problem here. I just installed the cabs from helmi (Thanks again!), the HTC Home (Helmi_HtcHome6_WM5_comp_sdkcert.cab), Acrobat reader and powerpoint (out of this cabs in the first message in the central BA6 Thread) and no additional software. I've re-installed it two times, but that doesn't help .
@ Xeon: Maybe a good work-around, I will give him a try,
UPDATE: @ XEON: Doesn't work for me
regards
Andreas
OK im again facing the same problem it seems my solution didnt work. As far as it seems to, i had to soft/hard reset more than 20 times to solve it. i dont get it. when i reset it the problem is still bla bla bla.. but when u leave it stuck for 10 mins and then reset it , it will work. the point is that after all , u dont need to format/clear registry. All u need is to keep trying. WEIRD [email protected]#[email protected]$#$
I keep having the problem after installing a new cab with a soft reset. The only way to get out of the WM6 screen is to go into bootloader and a soft reset. Just like Xeon said. However, I don't think it is the battery issue because if I just do a normal soft reset, it starts up fine. The problem arrives only when a soft reset is required to finish an installation from cab.
Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help on this one - I've been googling for the last 3 hrs and not been able to really find any solution.
I seem to have lost my 'Settings' folder
When I click on 'Start > Settings', my system just hangs.
If I Hard reset it's there again, but when I clone back to current - gone
I REALLY don't want to have to go through the whole installing process again, I've just spent the last month Installing, Resetting, Installing, add infinitum; now, when I seem to have found and tested all the apps that I want. installed them, registered them, etc., the LAST thing I need now is to have to start from scratch!!!
So, PLEASE - give me a clue how to add this back and remove the one and only issue I have with this build!! P L E A S E ! ! !

ADDENDUM:
*******************
Have also found that the three settings tabs are also no longer recogniseable in other programs - I have SPB Shell 2.0 installed, and it usually shows all the options from the Settings folder in it's Settings tab - not any more!!
Also Pocket Mechanic comes up with the 'Cannot load file 'unload'...' message if you try to uninstall anything! - from surfing it seems that these are related!
It looks as if I WILL have to reinstall everything - going to have to do it the REALLY slow way and clone after EVERY install on the system "sigh!".
I'll give it 48 hrs of hoping that some really narly uber geek out there can come to my rescue, else I'll have to geek it myself!
CALLING ALL UBER GEEKS - help this poor lame nerdoid out!!
as i understand you have made backup of a broken WM and when you restore it it restores the broken parts too, the easyer solution for you is to use PIMBackup for all your mail, contacts SMS MMS etc. , Hard reset, install all of the software you use then restore the backup from there and after your device is properly configured then back it up with a backup software (some backup software do not work well in wm 6 use only compatible versions, also you can not restore WM2003,WM5 or difrend build backup to WM6 rom this action may cause unpredictable bugs)
Yah, looks like it's the only option!
I think that this is going to be the only option xplode, thanks for the second opinion!
I was hoping to find another solution, but it seems this will be the only one - oh well!

B.T.W. xplode, I now have 2 BA's to play with, so if you need a tester for any ROMs or anything, let me know! After all, once I get this thing sorted, I'll have a backup and can flash and reclone in minutes! This goes for Helmi and the other gods of the ROMs, too.

Hi
I'm in need of some guru help as this has got out of hand now. Since friday I've been flashing different ROMs hard resetting, soft resetting but still end up with the same problem. I'm at a loss now I'm not sure what to do it's getting very annoying. I've upgraded HSPL to 2.51. Tried running a Task 29 on my internal memory before flashing a rom (currently using Energy ROM 17th April) but whatever rom I try using Sense 2.5 with CHT 1.7 after a soft reset sense will not load up. Even trying a RestartManila.exe or running the manila.exe doesn't work at all.
What can I do?? should I try formatting my SDcard as well?? HELP PLEASE I've reflashed my phone and had to try and reinstall everything over 5 times this weekend and still it does this!!! never did it before until now
50 views and no one knows??
I had a similar issue when I copied my wm 5 contacts file to the phone.
If I deleted it, it was fine.
Maybe something to do with the contacts file?
Not sure but I've been using Windows MyPhone to repopulate my contacts after I flash and it's always been fine up till now...

It is common (unfortunately) for PIM contact restorals to hose up manila.
You will likely have to hard reset to get it back, sorry.
What I do is set up GMail as an exchange account and store all my conatacts to Gmail, so when I sync after a new flash all my contacts come back but I still have to manually ad them to the contacts tabs.
By contacts tab do you mean the favourites the 3x3 grid or the whole population ... if the latter that would take me ages!!! otherwise I could just not bother syncing the favourites when I run MyPhone hopefully that would work!
Just the 3x5 tab.
Everything restores just fine including photos.
Cool thanks for letting me know will try and remember not to sync those from now on! Soft resetting and not having manilla show up with every rom I tried in past few days really annoyed me!
Gah I've got this problem again. I erased all contacts and didn't have them as favourites... then yesterday I soft resetted after installing a program and now I can't get Sense to load up it just sits there on Launching Sense.... any ideas?
What prog did you install?

Hi everybody,
I have got the LEO last week. I had several problems I could solve, but one big I could not solve yet.
It belongs to the Phone. After making a call, I am not able to make a second one. The application freezes, when I close it, I am not able to open the Phone again. Making a call from the history list is also sometimes something i can not do.
Can please somebody help me? Without the posibility to make easy and quickly calls the LEO is for me useless.
Thank You very much in advance!!!
i have the leo 4 7-8 months.never had problems.tried soft reset?if that wont help i believe that you must go 4 hard reset
maybe some program you put makes that.
If your LEO is giving so much problems within a week, you probably have a mondaymorning model.
Try to exchange it at the shop as it is not funtioning properly. (In EU this is consumer right)
If not possible,
What is it you have done to your phone allready?
You mention having problems and solved them, can you remember what you have done?
Has your phone ever funtioned without problems?
Try to do a complete factory reset or hard reset (look here)
Then format SD (first save data somewhere)
After reset/format does your phone function correctly?
Furthermore:
If you install apps/enhancements/skins, install all apps you need for your phone running on your device.
If you remove SD, your device should be able to startup without any problems, only applications you use besides the normal startup should reside on sd Card.
So for example:
Cookies home tab (becomes part of home screen)=> on device
Igo8 Navigator (Started manually after boot) => on sd card
Task manager (runs allways on background) => device
Games like experiment 13 => on sd card
[....]
if its brand new, get a new one, otherwise
backup
hard reset
if fixed, ok!
if not fixed,
try find an updated stock rom (if you want to stay stock) or get HSPL and flash a cooked rom.
If problem fixed, ok!
if not fixed, hardware problem.
Thank You for the replies. In the morning I tought the problem is fixed, but is not. Can be Cookies home tab a problem?

well it could be cookies but thousands of people use cookies so its unlikely.do you have loads of stuff installed?
also, are you restoring registry settings when you flash? because you shouldn't do that when you go to a new ROM. registry settings backup is only really for restoring to the same rom after hard reseting.
I tried to found an official ROM update for my device. I found one, but the only change is the launching date. On my device is one from 11.1.2010 and I have found one from 4.6.2010. Does it make sense to update?
