Stuck at Windows Splash Screen

Everytime I turn my xda on it won't get past the Windows Mobile splash screen.
Everything was fine until I installed a copy of Netfront that I had aquired (yes, I know it's my own fault for using cracked/copied software). Anyway the install went OK, it said I needed to restart, so I did, but now it doesn't get past the splash screen.
I'm thinking that if I can access the files stored on the xda then I might be able to remove enough of the traces of Netfront that it'll at least startup properly.
Is there anyway that I can access the files stored on my xda without needing to start up windows?

Finally someone with the same problem that me. Try tap the screen continuosly (every 4 seconds) when the splash screen appears then the system will boot up. let me know if works because we have to find the cause of that.

wow it worked cheers
Uninstalled Netfront and everything's back to normal

But the problem persists, it's nothing to do with Netfront. I believe you have a lot of app's installed, is it true ? I have Phonealarm, SBSH iLauncer, SBSH Pocketweather, Alarmtoday and Inesoft Address Book as today plugins. And you ?

I've got a fair few app's installed but no today plugins.
All I know is I installed Netfront and everything screwed up, I uninstall it and everything's back to normal so I'm happy.
Perhaps you should try uninstalling app's/plugins one by one and do a soft reset each time. At least you may be able to narrow it down to a problem with one particular app.

Done it ... Trust me you'l have the same problem when you'll install another application (not only with netfront). The question is why ?

Damn, you're right
Just installed Minimo, did a soft reset and it's back to sqaure one

How much Storage/Program memory left do you have ? I have 19MB/17MB

Storage 13MB
Program 23MB

Do you use smartskey/omapclock tweak ? i use omapclock with 264MHz

Nobody else has this issue ?

Don't use any of those
Everything's pretty much standard apart from registry wizard and a few app's installed

ok guys i have this same exact problem but the thing is it happend for no reason
one day i just turned on my phone and it was doing it it only starts after hours of messing with it i dont know why i havent installed or changed anything

Blackstone Crashing

Recently my Touch HD has randomly started to hang/crash forcing me to soft reset the device. Only seems to happen once or twice a day and generally when i am navigating around the TF3D interface, may be coincidence but ususally when i am navigating away from the email tab...usually for the first time in the day. I only have 50 or so emails and none of them are particularly big either.
The 3-5 second hotfix delay that HTC released doesnt work on my device....
The only thing that i have installed recently is a game ripped from the X1 but cant see it being that as others have downloaded it from Xda-developers and not had this problem so...
Can anyone suggest any fixes that wont involve a hard reset....really dont want to do that as i have the device set up how i want and the restore point i created via sprite wont work sad.gif
Pllllleeeeeeease some one help.

Posted this on MoDaCo and not had much of a response....searched all threads on here and applied a few of the fixes that are going round and still my HD is freezing. Did it while navigating away from the SMS tab the other day
I have done the following already:
Removed the emila account and reinstalled it
Set the attachments storage folder back to local mem (was on SD card)
removed all recently installed programs
cleared mailbox on phone
Deleted all sent items and deleted item in SMS (thinking there was too much mem being used)
applied a graphics fix (found on here)
changed all HD tweak settings that refer to performance back to default
removed any programs installed on SD
Can anyone provide me with a solution. really dont wat to have to Hard reset my device but starting to think that it is going to come to that
Thanks

"Unable to initialize camera."

"Failed to set up the camera device." This has been happening on my TMO-US HD2 after a few hours of operation in the short time I've had it. Only a soft reset will fix it. Running the stock ROM with no real modifications so far. Anyone experiencing this problem?

Do a hard reset. This will wipe the phone back to the way it came from T-Mobile. You will loose anything you put on the phone.

Just found another thread suggesting that leaving Opera open in the background might cause this error. Closed Opera and, to my surprise, the camera worked again! So, my immediate problem is solved ... though why Opera should cause this error remains a mystery.

I had the same issue. Turn the phone off and turn it back on. No need to hard reset

Out of memory i think, ofter happen with heavy ram program, like opera, windows media player.. shame to have 448 mb of ram

it is because of Opera...I had the same problem a couple of time when the camera or camcorder could not start so I just searched the forum and found this thread. I just tried opening opera and leaving it in the background while i start the camera. Voala! It did not work. As soon as I closed Opera, the camera was back to normal.! They should add this thread to the tweaks or something so people know... Thank you guys! Tha helped me a lot!

Opera10 does something weird with virtual memory (or pagepool) where it allocates TOO much. Opera10 also blocks iGo8 and a number of other apps also.

is there any fix for this? its a bit wearysome to have to restart the fone everytime i want to take a foto when i have been using opera.... as simply shutting opera does not work for ne... surely htc should have fixwd this by now....

Its definately Opera 10. The memory allocation is too high for some reason.

well, im jst running stock opera 9.7 and i still get the problem...

Sounds like you are out of system memory. Try uninstalling some apps or move them over to the storage card. I had the same problem as Opera10's epic cache was eating up my system memory. Cleaning out the YouTube folder also gave me another 100MB.

Got this problem with palringo, when i tried to share a picture, then my camera had this issue. Restart the phone and it should be alright...

ive sorted it out now by moving some apps (installed thru market place!) to the storage card uskng sktools now all ok!

I am having the same issue now..
its is showing the main memory details like this
STORAGE PROGRAM
total:312 mb 173 mb
in use:31mb 85 mb
free:283 mb 89 mb
Any clue why is it happening ??
pls help me guys

By the sounds of it, it isn't HTC at fault, but Opera's developers.
Have you tried cleanRAM? That should blitz the RAM and stop you needing to reboot.

have been getting the same problem. need to reset everyday! I have closed Opera and always clean up. but, not working. anyone ?

somebody also said it has something to do with the extra camera formats turned on in bsb tweaks guys, i have turned them off and opened opera 10 and camera works

Installing fennec browser (firefox mobile) caused my camera to quit working - only fix for it is hard reset - tried it several times with the same result.

mine happens upon installation of swype

Finally I managed to take my phone to customer service center,they reinstalled the OS but the result was same. So thy confirmed it as a motherboard problem and thy took a couple of days to replace it with new motherboard. Luckly I was under warrenty, now my camera is workking fine

Crashed sense by renaming a .jpg - now it won't start!

I'll just save my swearing of HTC programmers for later, for now I'll just cut to the chase:
One of my albums that I've synced by using WMP didn't have a thumbnail visible in sence Music Player. I had the .jpg picture for it, but it wouldn't work (I'm assuming because the album was a 2 part one, CD1 and CD2). So I've simply copied the .JPG to both the folders and renamed it ~hTC_Albumname.jpg
It was quite a long name but there should not have been any problems since their names were different (the second one had CD2 in the end).
Right after I've done that I went to the sence player and clicked play on the album. Then SENSE crashed and now, even after soft reset it can't start!
I've deleted all of my .mp3 files from /Storage Card/Music
I've deleted all Temp files by hand and via ClearTemp
I've performed soft reset a dozen times
I've tried deleting the Applicaton Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng but the .vol file is used by a service and can't be deleted.
How do I proceed to restore Sence? I don't want to perform a hard reset as I have extreme amounts of settings in comparison to small amounts of time.
Any suggestion on this matter is greatly appreciated

I have really no idea how to solve this, as a matter of fact I'm not quitte shure if I understand what is happening here.
But my first thought was: to eliminate if your problem comes from your SD-card or not, why not remove it and start your device without it?
Hope this may be of help to a solution.
Goodluck,
Fred

When you say sense can't restart. Do you mean that it tries to start and then crashes or it that it doesn't bother to start at all. If it is the former; do you get any kind of error message? If the latter; have you gone to your today settings and made sure sense is still enabled?

It tries to start normally but it doesn't, it retries a few times and then just writes a message: Unable to start sence, tap here to try again. Of course the tapping is to no avail. I will try to format my SD card tomorrow to see if it does any good... Damn what damage a little .jpg can do...

might be time for a hard reset.

I highly doubt formatting the SD will have any impact. It sounds like the registry was somehow corrupted. I've also read about the "Unable to start sense" error happening to people after they sync their phone.
I have another question though. What ROM are you using?

Unfortunately my friend, like posted you may have to hard reset. Occasionally when trying a new modification (something in Sense for example) my Sense gets broken. It will try to start a few times then I would get that message, to date I have found no solution to fixing Sense if it won't start so I am forced to hard reset. Sorry I wish there was another option. If someone knows please chime in

Many times when sense gets "broken" it's due to a corrupted file or registry entry. This can happen from a bad cab install to a messed up tweak. Also, some custom roms that are optimized for speed have modified buffering so a crash at an unlucky time may cause file and registry corruption that breaks sense. If you can pinpoint where the problem occurred, then a fix may be possible without a hard reset.
Although a hard reset WILL do the job, I like to think of it as an absolute last resort.

Don't know if you have CHT installed, but I avoided a hard reset by re-installing CHT when having the same problem with sense. Something I did corrupted a CHT file I am guessing. Also, I could not import my saved CHT Editor settings, as sense would not start after import. Just skipped import and was back to normal.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try this immediately. I've already started looking into custom roms/radios. I'm currently using stock 1.66 with a 2.07 radio.
EDIT: Thank you so very much, it worked!! I'm guessing that I've overlooked tha fact that on one level of CHT I had the media player plugin. I'm guessing my messing around didn't brake sense's media player but the homescreen CHT media player plugin!

You are most welcome.

[Q] The file xxx cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cert...

I have Win Mobile 6 pro and was working perfect.
Code:
The file xxx cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cerfificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Yesterday phone was on charging and it's showing the S2U2 charging and I picked up and unlocked and it started showing this error on running any software and even not running startup programs and services. Even it's not getting phone calls except SMS.
I didn't changed/configured or installed any software or any configuration in it for about a month and no possibility of doing anything wrong. It just created this problem in my hands in a minute.
I searched around forum and already tried two of the registry fixes but nothing.
I can hard reset easily but I don't want to loose my Contacts/Address book. If there can be possibility to backup contacts I'll Hard Reset it. I can connect through Active Sync and I can edit registry through CERegEditor.

you need to install SdkCerts to sign the file/s you're using to make it/them eligible to be installed on the device. It's just like a consent from the developers for their OEM softwares to their users. To make the device accepts the file/s, the SDKCert have to be installed on the device for key matching purposes....
used PIM Backup to backup/restore the Personal information of the Pocket PC like Contacts, Appointments, Tasks etc.

Thanks for your attention and reply.
One thing I want to tell you, it just started suddenly and before this problem all programs are running smoothly without any signing etc. Currently it's running only few software i.e. File Explorer, Solitaire and few more and it's not shows error even in Calculator, Contacts and other built-in programs.
I can't understand wht's the difference in Calculator and Solitaire one is running other not.

This indicates that there is one of the files(dll file) needed for the process of loading the program is gone (may be erased) ! My advice, hard reset your device back to factory default settings but first make a backup

Now that is the point, how can I make backup. I only need contacts nothing else.
It's getting worse day by day, now it's not even starting, stuck at T-Mobile splash and stays there. I tried taking out SD card, SIM etc. but I couldn't able to boot it.

Hakim sb, thanks for your suggestion. That's already in consideration but 1st I want to have backup of address book.
Do you know way to get backup of address book.

maybe you need to see this to be backing up address book http://www.godswmobile.com/how-to-transfer-contacts-for-windows-mobile-phone.html

Thanx again for you assistance. Earlier before making any registry changes through PC it was atleast starting and accessible through PC and I had chance to copy contacts file wherever it's located but now it's not starting at all, hangs at T-Mobile splash screen.
Is there any way to read memory and copy/backup contacts file through PC or any other way.
