I installed sktools on my wing to get rid of my phantom alarm. So I decided to do a backup of my phone to my sd card while in the sktools program.
It said that after finishing it would soft restart my phone twice. I said ok. It started backing up my files and didnt even get done all the way. It was in the process of backing up my email when it suddenly restarted. Now thats all it does is restart. I removed the battery hoping that would maybe stop it but when i put the battery back in and turn it on, it keeps restarting. I tried to do a hard reset but it wont work.
thanks for your help

Did you try holding the two softkeys (the buttons above the left green call button and right end call button) as the phone was turning on?
yeah i did, it didnt work.
I figured it out though. one of the .dll files was corrupt.

Hi - I've been lurking and trying some of the less intensive, flashing-not-required tweaks with success. But suddenly today, I'm having an issue.
My MDA/Wizard is all of a sudden frozen! I havent done anything to it since I got to work today (except blug it in to charge it) and on my way to work, it was operating fine - I watched some anime, read an ebook and listened to music with no problems.
What I've noticed:
- Signal light flashing, but cant get to phone app, doesn't ring when call comes in, gets a generic on-screen notification with no Call ID
- Screen frozen, can hear tapping noise, but nothing happens
- Goes to sleep mode and Power button can wake up as normal, but still frozen and Power button wont turn off device
- Buttons make noise when pressed, but no result
- Of all of the plug-ins (3) and built-ins (5) that are usually on screen, my Messages one has suddenly disappeared.
Today Screen:
*Date
*Owner
*Tasks
*Messages - GONE
*Agile Msgr
*SPB WMP plug in
*SPB Weather
*Device lock
The last thing that I installed was a .cab file from the Big All Tweaks Thread - it was the one that got the Caps/Fn indicator and "E"dge indicators on screen. But EVERYTHING was working after the install and til 15 min ago (14hrs total). I've soft reset about 6 times and even took out the battery with no luck. If I plug it into USB, it charges, but no recognition from AS.
Please help! I'm at work, my contacts and stuff are on home PC.
I'm running the original T-Mobile Rom and I'm not unlocked yet (I was trying to get up the nerve this weekend!)
Thanks in advance!
Hmm....no response?
I'm hope now...
I am beginning to wonder if my problem isn't related to the issue that pple seem to be having with the MDA zapping the SD card. I took out my card and then did a soft reset. My device is workign just fine with out it. Seems that if I put it bak in, there it goes freezing again.
The card seems fine when I put it in the reader, but if the MDA is having a problem with it, I'll be mighty vexed, as it is a week old 1gb card
If anyone has any imput, please chime in.....
I am wavering between trying to figure this out....or just going for it and updating my ROM while I'm going thru all of this anyway...
:nervous:
i have the same issues with about the same software loaded and freezes. to recover from the freeze, i press the reset button and while the phone boots up i press the phone "answer /hangup" buttons once or twice and it boots up.
i do notice something strange after a reboot- the programs on the 1gb sd card are no longer recognized. when i check file explorer, i can see the wizard has creadted a new file store location called 'Storage Card" and it has renamed my stoage card " Storage Card 2". All my files are then seen on "storage Card 2" but cannot be run.
i then deleted "storage card" and rebooted. the wizard then automatically renamned "sorage card 2" back to "storage card" and all my installed programs were ecognized and worked just fine. i suspect there is a bug in the OS regarding stogae card recognition at boot up . any ideas on this ?
thanks
My MDA now all of a sudden keeps locking up on boot-up. It gets to the Today screen and then locks up. I can't do a darn thing. I can hit the power button and it turns the backlight on and off. But I can't turn the phone off or on once it's locked up. All I can do is take the battery out to turn the phone off. But when I go to turn it back on, it just locks up. I can't get it to do a damn thing. Now its says Rebooting in Safe Mode.....and is locked up. I have no clue what to do. I'm on Cust ROM 2.21.
Any ideas?
The same thing just happened to my SIM unlocked 8125 today! I can't even hard reset it. I am on 2.25. I can soft reset it, but a hard rest won't work... I am lost, it worked flawlessly for 5 days, I hung up with a telephone call today and boom, junk... Any ideas how to help me get this thing hard reset? If i press com button and voice button and hit reset, it is just as though I did a soft rest.
So i got it unfrozen by reflashing with the Cingular 225 ROM. Then I had to reload all my crap, well, just a couple of apps... I turned off the phone last night and now when I turn it on this morning, same friggin junk! This is going to suck if I have to keep reloading... The only installed apps were:
spb pocketplus 3.0
AEBPlus and devicelock to map comm button
Any ideas??
Try restarting (soft) with the SD removed. Double check that you have operability after bootup, then reinsert card and verify it is accessing it properly (load a file explorer). Then, do another restart with the card in (by holding down the power button, not the softrestart button) to verify all is good.
It just happened to me about half an hour ago but figured out how to get it running again. Decided to search for "safe mode" to see if there's another way around it, and came up with this post
Hey, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I didn't have a sd card in the phone, I am still waiting for it to be delivered. I have found that by not turning the unit off (holding power button down) it has not happened again. I have also opted not to install any applications until I get my card.
I will play more some other day. I will come back and post a result.
I am a bit of a newbie...
My device was working perfectly. THen I started up AIM this morning and it froze. I reset it, but now when it powers up, it is frozen, nothing works or happens. If I call the device the phone doesn't even ring. NO clue how to fix it and any info would be much appreciated.
Thats very strange. Try pulling out the battery and let it sit for about a minute or 2. If that doesnt work, then try to return it for a new one. If you somehow get into the start menu, go to settings and then the system tab. Click on "Clear Storage" witch will reset the device back to the way it was when you first took it out of the box. Yes, you will loose all info stored in the PDA but its better than not being able to use it at all. But this does tend to fix 80% of problems.
I had a similar problem today... I installed netframework and after that it stop responding.... the only working thing is the power button and when I press it the only thing I can do with the stylus is select yes or not... other then that wherever I type it does nothing!!! have you solve it?

had the phone about 5 weeks or so now, but i am startin to get fed up with it, a few times now i have come to switch it on and nothing happens, but the led keeps flashing. So i have to do a soft reset to get it working.
i thought i had fixed it by removing some programs last weekend, then this morning it did it again, then twice more within a few hours.
just wondered if anyone has anything similar? if it keeps happening i will try giving it a hard reset before getting rid of it

Please be aware to not hit the power button too long. This will let the M600 go into screen off mode. It then looks like it does nothing, while in real, it is alive, you just can't see it.
You can toggle this modus by holding the power button again.
I have the m600 and have never had similar problems.

Check you SD card carefully. If you have corrupted files/structure it can cause crashes. I had this on my Orange M600 (often through the night i.e. would only start in the morning after a soft reset) I kept thinking that it was a software issue but I had some corrupt files on my card.
A simple test is to copy the entire contents of your SD onto your computer. If you have any errors it will normally fail at some point. It's always worth looking at the obvious/simple stuff first.
noony- thanks for the tip- my M600 has been plagued with lock ups, much like the ones you describe (locked in the morning etc).
I'm planning on flashing to a new ROM and will also reformat my SD and see what happens
Hey guys I fell asleep with my phone on my stomach while charging, i woke up and moved and obviously unaware, my phone dropped onto the floor.
Now it won't start, all I get is the "Smart Mobility" screen, then my rom version and radio shows up on the bottom right, but then the screen stays lit with black.
EDIT: I've tried taking the battery out for about 5 minutes, resetted the phone, left it on for over an hour, but it still isnt starting.
still havent managed to get it starting:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source. Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to it's factory default settings.
pressed volume up, nothing happened, so i took the battery out reinserted now its doing what i said it was in first post.

So you say that your device Brake when you drop it on the floor this mean its not a software problem and even if you flash a Stock ROM etc or do any procedure like HR or Task29 will not help you..
You need to go to Repair Service to chek it out what is broken inside the device.
