Hi guys, newbie here. I have a problem with my T-Mobile Wing. Few days ago, I can no longer access the setting on my Wing, everytime I click on Start -> Setting, my phone freezes. I tried hard reset (already 3 times) and still no joy, any clue why it happened and any clue on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
N3O
ps. my T-Mo Wing is wm6 and only had HTC Home installed on it

Are you sure you actually hard reset didn't soft reset? Hard resets basically rewrite the o.s. over the old o.s. (holding down the two select buttons labeled "-" and pressing reset). If that still doesn't work, you have something fishy going on, but seeing how it seems to be a software issue, I can't imagine hard resetting wouldn't fix this. If this still doesn't work, try flashing to a new rom.
yes, I did, I had to re-install everything I had. I even need to enter my device ID through registry hack, because I can't access the setting to enter owner's name.

Hmmm, that's kind of strange, but maybe you are using a custom rom? I would try flashing to another rom.
no doug, it's the original T-Mobile ROM, that's why I got confused too. Usually when something bad happens, I hard-reset it and things would go back to normal again. I can only access the setting if I change the battery, and the setting will be accessible again for a couple minutes and unaccessible again after that. Weird huh?

That is def strange. Never heard of something like that. It def sounds like a software issue, but you ruled that out by reflashing the os. odd....

I'm not sure exactly why it's happening, the last thing i remember doing before this problem occurred was uninstall some programs, and decrease the text size in settings.
But everytime I power on the handset, it will boot up fine. But then the activesync information screen (the one that shows your recent syncronizations) will pop up, and my phone freezes up right there. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, everytime I reset my phone its the same problem. I'm able to do a soft reset at this point, but that's pretty much it.
If it's any help, one of the programs I removed was pTravelAlarm (Burr oak software) i got rid of that because i was getting a "Cannot execute \Windows\pTAmgr.exe" Notification Error during startup, which now that I mention it, the error still pops up even after i removed it.
Is there anyway to perform a hard reset without having to be in windows, or connected through activesync?
Or am i pretty much boned at this point.
You don't need or want to be connected to Active sync when doing a hard reset!
Hard reset is pressing both soft keys at the same time as poking the stlus in the soft reset hole. This takes device (after some menu screens) back to the way you got it originally.

We're all newbies to start with and we're all still newbies with some aspect or other of Hermes or WM5.
Use this thread if you have problems with hard reset.

I did a hard reset, and its working just fine. Though i do think i'll be updating the ROM, seeing as i've had many problems with the phone freezing up and recycling itself under the OEM ROM. Thanks again

Hi, i just done a master reset on my cingular 8125, and now i can't do anything to the phone. everytime i put the battery in it can only go to the first screen. which is the screen with IPL, SPl, GSM, and OS.
Does anyone have a solution? I have this phone for over 6 months, I done an unlock to use with T-mobile, but i didn't do the unlock to update.
same thing is happening to me.
download the t-mobile 2.26.10.2 rom from their site and force bootloader mode [turn off, hold power and camera, and connect to USB and run the updater.
when i do this, it doesnt write the ROM image...
i have flashed like... 7 times in the past hour...
Don't know if this will help you, but the same thing happened on my 8125 after pasting a "power off" program to my windows/start up folder. Hold the Comm and Voice record buttons (on top sides of device), and at the same time use your stylus to soft reset (small hole below Ir port), a message should come up telling you to send to set back to factory settings. Push the green phone button to send. This is like a hard rest without entering the hard rest code 1234. This should get the device operating normal again. You will have to re-install apps that you had in the main memory,since your device will be new again. Give this a try. May I ask why you had to do a hard reset?

That means there is a hardware issue with the phone.
took it to cingular they said software
Meaning -- not covered under their warranty exchange?? Just curious as to whether you got a replacement phone. . .

You may need to do this a few times. It should work as it's the ONLY way.

If they say its software, then tell them to flash the Cingular ROM on it. If it works, thank them and you have a working phone. If it doesn't they should replace it. DO a search for this error here (and with Google) but I seem to recall others getting this found their phone had a memory (hardware) problem where the flash just won't take.
You might have better luck talking to a Cingular Tech online. I've called a copule of times with issues with my phone and they are always like "We'll authorize a replacement and send it out tomorrow". I've stopped them each time as I know the isue I'm calling about isn't hardware (one time it was for the 160x120 MMS pics). Over the phone they can only debug so far so they are quicker to do a replacement.
Not sure thats what you want to do, but its an option...
You might also try flashing the Wizard Love or Button Roms on it. Those will sometimes flash when others won't (if you do the Button ROM you will have to CID unlock again though) (we are talking a G3 here, right?)
Links for those are in this thread (as well as instrucitons):

Bricked!
I installed this Omapclock and omapclockplus cab, and soft reset, like the thread said, and ever since then it hangs on the Windows Mobile boot screen, after the IPS/SPL/OS screen. I was using the OEM Cingular ROM.
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
I havent changed anything, other than add this program. It gets really close to booting, sometimes for a split moment finally to today for a mere instant (you hear the battery low tone) then reboots.
HELP!
Update: it gets to today but hangs then reboots... occasionally still get the battery low tone right before reboots. Reboots over and over and over...
Any help appreciated. Do I need to hard reset to factory now?
What did you clock it at?
I didnt clock it at anything, I installed the cab from the device itself, reset, and the result is what I described above
Just hard reset. I wish people knew the meaning of a bricked phone - a bricked phone is one that you can't boot, can't hard reset and can't flash firmware.

Sorry, just paniced, I've read some horror stories on here.
And I'm still getting to know the specifics of lingo, I thought bricked just meant at present does not work. Didn't know it meant doesnt work and cant fix. Sorry.
I'll try hard reset.
Can either of you (or anyone) tell me why you think it did this? THAT is most important to me. Thanks.

I think, the overclocking was set to its maximum because of it the device froze and the setting was done to overclock it on reboot.
That is why on every reboot your device froze, and restart and that's continous.
So a hard reset would do you work. But always beware b4 you overclock, people found out that 260mhz is stable speed. But i dont recommend it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299989 read this thread you'll come to know some of the problem.
I did exactly the same to my Wizard
A hard reset should get you back up & running. I hope you've backed up your contacts & everything. I hadn't!
I'm no longer using omapclockplus but the BatteryStatus plugin instead. I leave it at the default speed for most of the time but overclock it (with a single touch on the today screen) when using something like Skype that needs the extra oomph.
Hey guys,
I've had my Touch HD for about 5 months now, and I noticed last week that it seems to jump into a constant-reboot-loop every 2 or 3 days now.
The only way to solve it is to remove the battery for 5-10 minutes, put it back in and turn it on.
While the device is in this strange mode, it generally reboots *just* before the "Loading Windows" screen.
I believe I was running Miri's v16 or v17 when it first happened, and I'm currently using EnergyRom HD, which appears to have the same problem.
When it first started happening I flashed from Miri's rom to EnergyRom, and also did a hard reset, allowing Windows to reinitialise itself.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? I'm starting to get concerned that my incredibly expensive device is slowly becoming nothing more than a brick...
In this thread, Megawhopp had a slightly similar problem which was resolved by doing the following:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Put it in the bootloader
3. Re-flashed the custom rom
4. Immediately unplug USB cable and yank battery after 100% flash
5. Immediate hard reset via phone buttons
Try this and let us know how you get along!!
Thanks for the suggestion - I haven't tried it just yet, but honestly, I'm slightly skeptical
Also, I do all of my flashing via the SD card (BLACIMG.nbh), as I find it much more reliable than the USB connection method.

No probs, your call. Let me know anyhow if you get it sorted or not
Well, as I run Linux I've no choice but to do it the SD card way anyway, but I'll try the same test using the SD card method and see how it goes.
Thanks for the help, I'll let you know
Right well I carried out the steps using the SD card flashing method when the rebooting issue kicked in yesterday evening.
It took 3 attempts, but it seems to have sorted itself out again.
I've no idea if it's the steps that solved the problem, or just the luck of the draw though...
I had same problem, and I'm using default ROM without any 3rd party programs...
Just take battery out for 5minutes
then put it back, pressing the red reset button and then while pressing the red reset button press the power button release both and the phone will start and will work perfectly...

Yup, that's exactly what I do. What I want to know is WHY it happens though
Looks like I still have this problem. I can't recreate it at will, and it doesn't seem to be caused by any particular action I'm doing at the time.
This is so bloody frustrating.

Firstly, it's a "problem", not a "pb". You have a full keyboard in front of you, so why not use it?
Secondly, it's slightly worrying me now that this is happening for you on a *stock* ROM. I really hope this isn't a hardware issue, or I'll be in for a whole world of hurt

I had the same problem, I found when I had 3G shut off and I had no or low signal it would go into a constant reboot. I turned 3G back on and never had the problem again.
Give that a try, no need to hard reset.
Early I edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS cache to 2048.
By now I can't start my HD2, it hang on HTC word with R,G,D code number and won't start on window.
Anything I can do for that?

I had to do 2 hard resets due to this tweak. Good thing i just got my phone and didn't lose anything but some some playing around with it.
My problem was a bit different though. It would start up but things won't load properly and seems the screen is not aligned(clicking on shorcuts don't do anything).
Anywhow, it seems this problem is affecting a lot of people, espcially ones with stock roms. I'd just stay away from this tweak for now.

I got exactly the same problem! Don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!
Not much you can do except hard reset and not use that registry "tweak" next time. I too have run into this, and I cook my own roms... so yeah, some how this is not compatible with the newer rom bases.
Okay.. Thanks mate, how do i do this Hard reset? I think i have tried the most?? Can you please guide me?
take out your battery, put back your battery, while holding volume up and volume down together press power button, release when you see 3 color bars.

Hi guys,
my HD2 remains blocked after HTC word at starting. I did 2 consecutive hard resets (using Vol UP/Down and Power buttons) but the problem remains. Still doesn't start.
Can any one help me on how to make it starting?
Thanks a lot.
boot without external card
try resetting your HD2 without your micro sd card in the slot.
I had this problem before, if you boot your device without an SD card, you might get some errors, but your phone will start.
Then undo the registry tweak and reboot again with micro sd card in slot..
Let me know if it worked

Thank you p50kombi for your help. I've already tried restarting without the m-SD card but it remained unsuccesful. I finally entered the bootloader USB menu and was able to flash my ROM. The problem was probably my Radio which was not compatible with the ROM (i aimed at testing different radio versions - now i know from which Radio version Leo 3.14 is compatible).
Many thanks to you.

MAybe a clue to what ROM/RADIO/SPL/ newly added software or tweaking was on the phone.
It seems that a lot of people have the same problem.And i was thinking that i was the only one... I had the same problem. After a hard reset started again but the problem comes back every time i try to add an application like Cookie Home tab or spb programs or what ever...
The strange thing is that i used Cookie home and a lot of programs since 7 months ago without a problem and i didn't do anything when the problem started.
I used to have HTC Touch 3g for 3 years and never had problems like this and i thought that is a good idea my new phone be another htc....Wrong decision..
