Wizard freezing at startup screen

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105

That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?

Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...

You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.

mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.

thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...

HELP - Did i just brick my HTC ?

Hello, i used imei-check's program to unlock my phone, i did a hard-reset and then i used the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe. I did executed it on my pc, and there was a dos window saying something about waiting some minutes and everything was fine. After ~10 minutes, i was seeing that nothing was going on on either my phone or my pc, so i did reset the phone and closed the dos window. But since then my phone stays on the HTC screen, displaying the following
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I tried to download a small rom from my manufacturers site and i did went onto bootloader screen, by holding the upper left and upper right buttons and then the reset button, and i did flash the new small rom, but it keeps staying there. Is there a way to flash the original rom back in ?
PLEASE HELP ME !
PS : How do you hard-reset using the hardware buttons ?

To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.
from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets

even the hard reset, isnt bringing the phone back to life. what should i do ?

i think you should enter into bootloader menu connect you ppc with usb to your pc and flash it with the original shipped rom that you had before or if it's unlocked with any original shipped rom... It is the only way...

how can i flash my original rom ? is it included on some of the cd's it was shipped or ?

no ... there was on an ftp but now it is down... Maybe someone who has it can upload it in rapidshare .... What brand has your artemis? HTC, Dopod??? Leave some info in order to get the right rom... if noone help you until tommorow i will upload an original HTC Rom(right now i can't) if it works on your ppc...

It is an original HTC phone aye, so there isnt a way to find a rom like this out in the open ?

I DID THE SAME!
Please someone share the original rom for MDA Compact III T-Mobile UK!
It can be anything to fix the device.
Pleeease!
P.S.
Is there any software to dump a rom from other device?
I have access to my firend's MDA and possibly could use his to get a copy.

You guys seem to have the same problem as me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294551
I have already download all the original ship ROMs from XDA-FTP but no luck to try any of them on my device. It always said "Invalid Model ID". Some people said, the CID area was damage and the only way I can do is open my device and use jtag interface to directly flash my ROM without access to bootloader. I am now trying to do that and the last chance is to send my phone to Imeicheck (Glasgow, Scotland) to get it fixed.
Anyway, if you want any of these ROMs please email me ([email protected]) and give me your FTP so I could upload them. Sorry cannot send over email because they were big (~40Mb).

Just upload them on rapidshare and send me a private message with the links. If i dont get it to work, i am gonna send it back and get a replacement.

Same problem
I also got the same problem as you are, not even a hard reset helped me to start the p3300 ... My device is not CID free so i can flash only the htc italian rom into it (i had italian language in my device) and i can't find anywhere a rom with italian language so i'm stuck and i don't know what to do ... ( i tryed flashing all the roms found on FTP but my p3300 won't accept any of them )
If anybody got an ideea how to fix this problem or got a htc rom with italian please upload it somewere
Thanks

It is alive !
The original ROM worked at last! And here is the story:
1. Bought IMEI-CHECK and unlocked the MDA Compact III
2. Flashed with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (with device on Today screen)
3. The process started and stuck on "uploading file [don't remember] and as the instruction said I reseted the phone after 30 minutes.
4. T-Mobile splash screen, version infos and that's it.
5. Tried to flash again in bootloader mode but the device was not visible by PC
6. Thankfully to djsolid tried to flash with HTC Original and ended up with Invalid ID
7. Flashed with the original ROM from T-Mobile UK and it is working now.
I am not sure when I will try to flash it again

Well, my phone is alive again, thanks to http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=74701&PN=1
I have flashed my phone with the dopod rom, and it worked ok, and then i flashed the Powermap one, and it works fine.

Hello,
I have just bought myself an Xda Orbit, and previously have had Exec, Blueangel etc but was gutted to hear about Micro$oft and their action. i am very keen to customize my phone and ext rom etc just like i used to do and wrote about last year so i am willing to create a new website and will host myself and have all the roms available as a download for all to share BUT i need the roms. i have just downloaded from rapidshare the t-mobile rom and will download the ext rom from this ftp site but i need more roms and any programs that are useful i will host on the site and just link it to this site for downloading. i am not sure how to host ftp but i can learn....
let me know if this will be useful and i will get the ball rolling in getting an address and hosting account. thanks

Artemis doesnt`t start

please help! I have made a wrong ROM Update for my Artemis. The result is that it doeasn`t starts anymore. I see only the start screen no more. If i make a SW or HW reset tahn i see a 3 colored screen and USB. But i don`t get a connection via usb to my compute`! How can i wake up my Artemis ???

tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it

Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?

please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?

it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.

@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.

how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?

Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.

thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.

Where can i find the t-mobile rom its the MDA Compact III that wont start for me

Problems with FM Radio & Camera

Hi all,
I encounter some problems with the polaris. When I want to use the camera I encounter the message:" unable to initialize....".
I also encounter problems with the FM radio: when I want to use my radio, it starts up, you see the screen, but no sound radio stations can be found. This means no radio functionality as well.
I've perfomed soft reboots but also hard reboots (so it initializes completely again). I also tried new ROMs. Nothing helps. Anybody recognizes this problem? Looks like that it has problems initializing the radio/ camera function.
Is there an update available which could fix this problem? My device is not damaged at all. Or would there be an other solution, as far as you know? Furthermore, the phone works perfectly. Hopefully you can help me with this.
Thanks!!!
Greetz,

First flash ur pda with :

or
http://www.4shared.com/file/54732373/c9f753c5/Radio_Murata_1582514.html
If that doesnt work.Keep the one murata radio on your pda and flash another win mobile rom(without radio rom).
I prefer khanx vanilla v6 (radio isnt working, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398796 ) or swtos roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404977 )
look also:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414436

2 ALL. My FM radio very very poor, allways noice & appear and disappear signal, in same moment - mobile phone samsung about 200$ give 100% better quality
any suggest ?maybe need forget to use radio in cruise ???

Hi Badguy,
Yesterday I tried to flash my pda, as you said, with the radio rom "http://www.4shared.com/file/46948092...a_1582123.html". the update ended up in 99% completeness. So now....I have the tri color error (so I cannot use my phone). Hopefully I will be able to restore it again.
You have any tips?
Michel

hi.
Yes i forgot to tell you, that u have to flash HARD SPL first, then u can flash any custom rom and any radio rom.
Now, u have to flash ur pda with original touch cruise rom, which will restore your pda to normal working mode.Original rom is on CD, which was in box, when u bought ur phone.When the iriginal rom is flashed, u do the hard spl, then u can flash any software made for polaris.

Hi,
Thanks for the info...I am not aware that I received any CD's with original roms.
If I have not received any CD with Rom on it, can I not just update the ROM with ,for example, Diamond r7 Rom?
I tried this, but I didn't succeed. Normally I connect the phone to my pc, then enter the 'bootloader mode (from hard SPL)' on my pda by starting up the bootloader on my polaris and then I run the new ROM from my computer. When I use this procedure, the ROM is updated. I used this procedure as well for this 'flash'.
Since I have now the permanent tri-color, and therefore cannot enter bootloader, how can I update my ROM to the original version (or to any other ROM)?
Any further tips?
Thanks!
Michel

U need this rom, This version u should get with the phone.But it doesnt matter now. just ON/OFF the phone, connect it with cable and pc. Start flashing. Then make hardspl.
Did u hear for flashing through microsd card?? All what u must do is:
1. U have to have memory card in mode fat32.
2. Put onto the memory card rom file. Usually is named something.nbh .You have to rename it to POLAIMG.nbh .
3. put the memory card into the PDA and u have to go to bootloader mode ( press the camera button, make soft reset with stylus and u have to press camera button all the time, until u get 3color mode.
Radio roms, splash screens, roms , all, u can flash with microSD mode.

Hi,
I have tried the above steps. I have downloaded the rom, upacked it and renamed into POLAIMG.nbh
I pressed the camera button all the time and performed a soft reset with stylus. The following happens:
1. The three color comes again (it says: POLA100, SPL-1.25.0000, CPLD-2; in the red part; also in the above right corner of the red part it says: RUUNBH).
2. Then it turns into a white screen with: 'Loading...'.
3. After that it says...'checking...'
4. After this it says:
"0025002
not allow"
Then it returns again to the three color with same text as above.
Do you know any tips to solve my problem? Hopefully you can help me!
Kind regards,
M

Here I am again.
I now concluded from the text in the red section, that I indeed don't have Hard-SPL on it. I think this causes the fact that it is 'not allowed''. Would you agree on this one?
This means that I need to install HARD-spl from the tri-color situation.
This is the next big challenge I think. Do you have tips for me? Hopefully we will [email protected]
Greetz,

badguy999 was trying to tell you that about 3 or 4 posts back. Yes you must HardSPL your device before you load anything other than the Stock ROM. Read and follow the following thread to hardspl:

Hi,
I know that I need to install Hard SPL and I have read the threads you mentioned (before). The thing is, how can I install Hard SPL without the use of any active sync. In other words: how can I install Hard SPL by using the SD-card?
If you can help me with this...it would be great.

U cant. First u have to flash original rom to make the pda working again. Then u can install hardspl through cable. original rom can be flashed with microsd method.
Are u sure that u have memory card in fat32??Cause error u described few post before.

Hi,
When I want to flash it with original rom (rename the rom to POLAIMG.nbh, it starts loading, than checking, and than it says 'not allow....and a number' See also a few posts back. I formatted the SD to FAT 32
Somehow I'm not allowed to install the original rom. Therefore I thought that I needed to install Hard SPL.
Or should I press a combination of buttons on my phone? When I press the camera button and then soft reset, the same happens, when I just reset (he tries to load the image, but does not work).
I'm now allmost through all my options here. Hopefully somebody can help.

camera problems
Hi,
as far as i understand the "cannot initialize" camera problem is a know HTC hardware problem and the only solution to it is to send the phone to HTC for board replacement.
(it might suddenly start working for some time - i saw reports that it happens , but than the problem will probably return -- there are lot of touch cruise users i saw with this problem and the only known solution i saw was HTC repair)

Is true that the polaris is "weak" phone. mine had trouble with connecting to 3G. And during calls, persons didnt hear me well and from time to time i was muted . So, they change motherboard.
Polaris has really weak signal strenght. Far far better signal i got from tytn2 and trinity.With regular radio rom...

[Q] Volume button's are broken!! HOW can I make a bootloader to fix a original ROM

hi,
My volumeUp and Volumedown buttons are broken (don't works when i push it) and I MUST use a bootloader procedures tu fix a original ROM in my HTC HD to bring it to repair and check wich SPL is installed. (no HSPL for warranty!!)
is there some procedure or sw to put my HD in bootloader? MY actual ROM installed is TIM_IT_1.13.401.0 and Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14. I think that I put the original ROM on it but I must be sure to had put a original SPL and not HSPL (for warranty)
Is there a procedure to check it whitout put it in bootloader mode?
Thanks

I have this problem to. My volume button down is also broken, and I'm no longer able to lower the sound. Sound buttons are one of the most important functions of a phone. I e-mailed HTC for this and they replied back that broken volume buttons aren't appearing on the Touch HD's. No warranty, no option to repair it. I've sended a lot of pictures of the broken button, but they didn't respond to my e-mail. Keep in mind when buying a phone next time: If you wan't better service and support I think you have to search for another company next time. Sorry, but I don't appreciate this kind of service. I have decided not to buy a HTC phone again. I'll try to find another brand who cares about service and keeping customers happy. HTC = game over for me now, even if they bring out the best phone in the world.
I am using the Ruu.exe file to flash a rom. This is the only way I have found. Only problem is I can't lower the sound immediatly when I need it and can't flash all roms because some doesn't have a RUU file included.
Good luck!

Hi,
very bad situation! I don't know here in Italy what a HTC will answer me! For the moment I must try to put my phone in the original condition; I Flash the original ROM whit RUU and also a SPL (maybe) I MUST CHECK MY SPL VERSION... and I can't if I cant Reach a BOOTLOADER STATUS.... Nobody know if there are some other procedures or software to reach it?

Was anyone able to figure out how to fix this issue?
Because this is my first post, i am not able to post a link of what i found.
On ebay itself, there is the button for sell, but i don't think that would fix it.

Ok,
Here you have, copy the exes to your device first.
EnterBootloader.exe will put your HD into bootloader (the installed one)
Manual-SPL.exe will put your HD whith an special bootloader allowing overwriting the HSPL
