Hello, I just installed Dutty R6 TP and I found it terrific.
I have a question: is it necessary to perform an hard reset after I flashed this rom?
And if this is the case, how can I hard reset my phone?
Thanks!
Someone suggests hardreset before and after flashing (i do it). To hard reset your device: start-settings-system-delete memory (my rom is italian: start-impostazioni-sistema-cancella memoria. i think you are italian too)
you're right, I'm italian too.
However I want to know if there's really an advantage doing so.
I mean, I have installed Dutty R6 TP Canvas with 20 shortcuts, disabled weather and so on but I noticed that when is scroll my finger with manila from home tab to other tabs, it slows down a little. That does'nt happen when I scroll from settings tab to home. It runs smooth and fine.

i don't know if there's really an advantage doing that, but why not to do it? it doesn't take so much time and doesn't damage your device at all.
For your problem in scrolling manila tabs i don't know

A hard reset is necessary because on initial flash, portions of the previous flash can still remain on unused blocks of memory and interfere with the OS.
A hard reset ensures these memory blocks are wiped clean.
To hard reset, just do a soft reset with your stylus, then immediately press Volume up and down at the same time (before device begins to reboot)until a white screen appears, then press Volume up again to confirm and follow the prompts on the screen.
whilst Bruce has a valid point, he correctly uses the words "can still remain" ...whereas it would have been more accurate to say: 99% of the time, there is no reason to hard reset.
however...1% is a lot for some people (imagine u had a 1% chance of winning the lottery!!!) so you can, again, as Bruce said, do a hard reset without any risks...
fyi: i NEVER hard reset...but that's just me

Some devices are more prone to have issues that others.
I started flashing back in the Hermes days and it was always an issue on that device as well as the Kaiser, so I got into the habit of it.
You would see people complaining of bugs, laginess, memory leaks, etc. because they did not do a hard reset.
Now the Raphael was a whole new animal. It needed to be flashed back to stock every few flashes to overwrite these blocks. I cooked and flashed a LOT of ROMs and even hard resets were not enough.
There have been a lot of discussions regarding hard resets and there are definitely 2 different schools of thought, some do/some don't, but in my personal experience, its just as easy to do it and know that any bugs experienced are not a result of your previous flash.

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.
Mike
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

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.

And why do you need to post this same thing multiple times? Post it once and we will get to it.

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.
hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards

Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

ive done both of this in my ppc. hehehe
@sir mikechannon

@sir ghz
hmmm nuthin, just the usual... havent installed anything prior to the problem.
well guys... thanx for the comments my ppc doing good now, i just hope it wont happen again. hehehe. much respect!
Okay hopefully not ruined but this is really annoying. I installed the gullum diamond keys file, and then realised that word completion has somehow been deactivated, no matter what input method I use.
And then I tried uninstalling it, but it won't. It just brings up the spinning logo thing to show that it's working, but then that just stays up permantly until I soft reset.
Any clues?
I read in some threads that it only uninstalls after 20 or 30 minutes with the spining thing... :s
The other way is with a hardreset...
Cheers
The same happens to me.
Hardreset was the solution..
regards...
Unintallation takes a really long time, properbly a hard reset is faster.
How long is long? I left it for over half an hour and no joy. I really dont wanna hard reset

Hi mate i have diamond keyboard installed and word completion works have you checked the word completion tab under input settings i remember having to switch it back on after installing the keyboard
Yup, tried everything. I'm gonna flash a new ROM tonight. I'm thinking Vanilla 4.02. I previously had Touch Full with cube. Hopefully I'll notice a difference in performance
Hi,
Yesterday, I had to do one of those ubiquitous soft resets we always have to do with Windows Mobile... but instead of getting a soft reset, my trinity totally hard reset itself! (and no, I didn't touch any buttons while pressing the stick in there)
I profited from the occasion of losing some of my data (backup was a couple of weeks ago) to upgrade the ROM. That all went fine until yesterday evening, when I did a soft reset with the stick and got a hard reset AGAIN!
Does anyone know where this can come from? How to fix this annoying problem?!
Thanks!
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I had the same exact problem with certain Roms...
Just don't know if it can be hardware problem, but try using the original HTC rom for a while to make sure everything's OK.
Best regards
Hi
My trinityis sufferng from the same problem, and it's getting progressively worse. From it originally happening once every few weeks, I can now re-flash and it will hard reset as soon as a day later (usually once i've re-installed everything...)
I've tried lots of different and reportedly stable ROMs, the latest being FlixNOver and an excellent German WWE Manilla 2D one floating around whos name i forget.
I am now assuming my trinity is dying, with a hardware related issue.
What is puzzling is that information previously written to the phone often remains and is acessible after then hard-reset. If this was Windows XP I'd suggest the Hard Drive was was corrupting and Windows was losing it's profile.
Anyone any ideas?
