Help with reset problem

Hoping you guys can help me out with a problem I've encountered with my cingular 8125 (wizard).
My wizard is brand new, about a week old. No modifications, i.e. box stock. I'm still playing around with it, trying to figure out how everything works. Just out of curiosity I performed a hard reset, to see how that works. And guess what, the thing is not booting up now.
It's stuck in the cingular startup screen with the radio and os/rom info on it. I've tried to perform another hard and soft reset, but it's not working. What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Help!
Thanks in advance!

Take battery out for 2 hours and leave device not plugged in - for good measure take out the minisd card. should boot up then or you will be able to do hard reset.
let us know how you get on

Okay, I'll give that a shot. I was totally like, wtf? Now what did I just do? :wink:
Nick

Okay, that didn't work....
Any other ideas out there? I don't see any other way to get this thing working again.

There are some other threads about this issue but with no simple fixes - search 'stuck on boot screen' or 'wont hard reset'
but i think you have a faulty device and quickest thing is to go and exchange it.

Okay, I figured out how to do it. Evidently I didn't press the hard keys in the correct sequence and/or coreect length of time.... :roll:
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm back to playing with this cool toy some more.

T-mobile Wing issue

So I been searching on the forum for a while now, still haven't found the solution. Well I was deleting the status bar on the bottom of the screen from the registry. Then I did a soft reset, but it kept repeating itself on the boot. T-mobo screen, the Window mobile screen, turns black, then back to t-mobo screen and so on. So the solution to that problem was to take out the memory card and reboot it. But thats kind of annoying since I have soft rest once in a while and I don't want to keep taking it in and out. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
Thanks in advance.

don't want to bash the n00b here but you could try posting this in the correct section. the t-mobile wing is not the same thing as a HTC wizard. you should try posting this over in the HTC herald section.

oh I'm sorry. I been looking through this forum and been dling things from it here. So I thought it would fit here. Thanks tho.

Sorry, but... along the way I did something that had the same effect, multiple reboots after a soft reset.
The only thing that worked was to hard reset and to rebuild my set-up (including removing the T-mo tray). Works fine now.

Quite a few threads on this.

Search soft reset loop, or boot loop and you'll find what you're looking for.

yea thanks for the reply. I couldn't take it anymore, so I did a hard reset.

killed my orbit 2 - volume screen on startup window

Hi,
I've managed to kill my Orbit 2! Everytime it starts up it gets as far as the Windows Mobile splash screen then shows the volumn control (both levels turned down) but goes no further. The power button still turns the screen on and off and the screen still dims after a while with any key bringing it back to full brightness, but nothing happens!
Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, I've looked in the forums, but can't find details anywhere of how to hard reset this phone! The only instructions I've found relate to non-existent buttons!
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset.html
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening or how to hard reset!
Thanks in advance,
Nick

it is the bottom two buttons (below the answer & hang up) and the stylus for a soft reset.
When it asks for a confirmation hit the green answer button
Hope this helps

Thanks NC35 - that did the trick!
Luckily I backed it up on Sunday so shouldn't have lost too much!

Thanks
Having tried ( now three times with no help ever) to speak to O2 and ask how to hard reset following the start menu completely failing..... I was told it was "impossible" you will need to return it and use the "28 day" repair service.....
I have at last managed to restore - thanks to this posting!!
No comes the reseting process - which is a bit of a bore!!
O2 seem to have dispensed with any actual tech support at all!!

The procedure of performing hard reset is perfectly explained in the manual that comes with the phone. "hard reset" is included in the index of this manual, so it takes only a couple of minutes to find out what you have to do.
After all, RTFM ;-)

calm down. read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600
most likely flashing another rom will fix your problem

I have downloaded the hard-spl. I'm completely stuck. I can't connect my pda to activesync. activesync didn't detect my pda. by the way, when I reset the pda, screen that asked to press SEND for restore to factory setting turn up few minutes after resetting. press green button, screen automatically shows windows mobile startup screen. I'm still stress, |I'm sorry but I can't helped it..

sorry guys. I have read the instruction wrongly. now it works fine.
many thanks cr1960 who has kindly response to my silly worries
thnaks again.

NP. Glad you got your problem sorted

my screen went blank

Hi,
Does anyone know why my screen just suddenly goes white?
It started when i heard someone called me. I looked at the screen and it was totally white. Pressing buttons didn't do anything. I tried soft + hard reset but the fone was still like that.
Has anyone got this problem before?

i haven't had the problem but it would be helpful if we knew what kind of a phone and rom you have

my fone is cingular 8525, and I have no idea what kinda rom I have. I only unlocked it with the software available here, and still haven't had time to play with other stuff yet.
oh, and i don't think the front buttons work, btw, so when i said i hard reseted it, i was wrong.
it also seems like this problem:

Don't you think? Now I'll have to buy some tools to open this baby up. Does anyone know where I can get the right tools?

It's always best to start at the beginning. Go HERE to a page that I created for new members that has links to EVERYTHING you may need to know about fixing your phone, flashing ROMS and Radios, etc.
Best wishes,

I just fixed it i just fixed it ). I don't think the light sensor for the keyboard work anymore thou, but screw that, the phone works ).

Some Help... Phone blank screening to a degree

Thanks for reading.
I'm currently using WM6.1 on the phone, and loving everything about it.
Since day 1, I've used a phone lock code, along with PIN1 code.
When unlocking the phone for after say an hours inactivity, the keypad will show, then the screen will go blank only showing the top bar of the phone.
Any press of buttons and screen will just make a beeping sound, and so far nothing I've done will restore the keypad to unlock the phone.
Is there anything wrong with the ROM i have, and is there anyone who can suggest how to correct this?
Please remember, the top bar still shows, and a reset allows the phone to work as normal (once logging back into it of course).
Thank you,

Hi guys,
Sorry to bring this back up, but this problem is still going on.
Not sure how to resolve it, so hoping someone would know how to solve this.
Thanks,

Posted twice for some reason.

Maybe is a sw failure,(50%) try to reflash with this fw: RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3625023_6275_1540700_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
if your hermes its from att/cingular. after flash open and close the tap of hermes, if the blank screen continues or return this, the failure is hw (the flex component broken,bus, pcb) in this case you need to buy the spare part or send to sat.
good luck

other possible solution

Hi there,
Its not white screening, or anything else, I think the next time it does this, I'm going to have to take a picture, to make sure it can be understood clearly.
Basically, when bringing the phone out of standby (from pressing off/on button) and attempting to enter my pin into the phone the phone will allow me usually to press at least one number of my pin, and then it'll black screen, where the start bar still displays, but no response.
The handset isn't problematic when being opened for use, or anything else, its just annoying to have to reset to load the phone back up again.
I hope this helps?

Further to the above, here is what i've been talking about...
Happened last night, typically as I was bored, and had to wait till morning to take the photo...

Still no movement on this post...
Would it be suggestable to upgrade the install of WM?
If it is, how easy (will read guides beforehand) is it to do (reasonably, hard etc).
Just this is now my only phone, so don't fancy my chances bricking it.
Thanks!

Sorry to be posting yet again, but this has now happened 3 times a in row since last night. I wouldn't mind knowing if a rom fix would sort this, and if so whats the best rom to go for...
Just keen to get this sorted now...
Thanks.
If it helps, I've nothing running when this happens. The exception of last night, where I was using Audio Manager when walking home, and had to soft reset once in the door.

Hi
I am almost certain you have a software fault here and need to reload a new ROM - take your pick - my preference is schnaps - it isnt that hard to do and should solve your problem
Just go to the Windows upgrading section on here and follow the process - you will be happy
