No matter what rom I use, somehow something eventually goes astray (at least I am assuming) or hangs and the phone reboots back to setup.
Sometimes I can go a day or so before it hard resets. I thought maybe it was an isolated rom issue, yet it happens with any room. This also happens to another person I know with a HD2.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to prevent this damn "fail-safe" mechanism? I grow tired of reinstalling all my stuff again and again.
Hi DrewX2,
You'll probably find that a program or tweak (or anything that you can install on your phone) is actually causing these "hard resets" and not the device itself.
I have been using a stock Rom for approximately 1 month and my phone has never hard reset. To be honest I think I've just been lucky this time with what I have chosen to install onto my device.
My best advice is to install programs 1 by 1 and test them for a period of time (personally I would be patient and wait for 1 day). That way you can isolate which program is causing the hard reset.
Of course there is a very very slim chance that it could be a hardware fault, but I wouldn't bank on this. Hope this helps
Sounds like you have problematic hardware to me. I'd try and get a replacement
registry changes
i had big problem when activating some apps to do there recomended registry changes ie
Pocket mechanic professional or sktools
so now i only got sktools running but newer edition for other uses not to try and change any registry stuffs.
iv stock rom and it now runs well but im still very reserved and careful as i think i know the pain your experiencing > makes one feel like throwing it out the window
Try re-flashing to a stock ROM, and see if the problem goes away.
Thanks for all the responses.
Let's just pretend it is some .cab I have installed (I mostly install a few visual modification cabs).
Does the response my phone is having seem like a normal response? Or does your phone never hard reset because of some .cab that has been installed.
I am gonna lay off on adding new stuff to my phone to see if that can prevent these hard resets.
Never had my phone do a hard reset in all the many years I've owned Winmo phones, and my HD2 is no exception.
My own guess is it's a hardware issue but nonetheless I'd try running the phone for a few days with minimal or no third party apps on it, just in case one of them is being nasty, but I've never heard of an app spontaneously causing a hard reset, TBH.
It's nothing to do with apps you have intstalled and nothing to do with your device. You say every rom you instal does this, but I'm willing to bet the stock roms aren't?
As I understand it, it's something to do with the implementation of SSPL. My best suggestion to you would be to flash the new Hard SPL and then to be safe flash a stock rom (1.61 for the newest radio) and then flash your custom rom of choice. I can almost guarantee you your problem will be sorted.
Let us know how it goes
I had spontaneous hard resets on my X1 with Itje's and Valkyrie's ROMs. Wow, it was annoying. I never pinned it down - mainly because I didn't have the time and needed my phone to be working. I flashed Energy ROMs and never had a problem with any of them.
I've also not had any problems with my Leo but I'm still on 1.48 with only a few visual mods.

No it's really not mate! Sorry but that is just unnecessary Microsoft bashing!
I was having exactly the same problems last week and reflashing a stock rom before the custom rom fixed it.
Never had this problem!
I've had my phone for about 3 weeks now and have never had this happen even once! I am running a TUR 1.61 ROM which I changed to after a week on stock Tmobile UK ROM
You wouldn't have a problem Creed. The Turkish 1.61 rom is a stock rom.
I suppose it's time to flash hardspl and perhaps upgrade the radio to see if that will fix it. And yes this only occurs with custom roms to my knowledge (in my case).

Well you should upgrade the radio anyway, because the battery life is much better, but definitely HardSPL and if you want to be safe flash a stock rom before the cooked one and always remember to hard reset after the initial install. It may seem like a pain in the arse, having to do all that, but it sure beats the frustration of unexpected hard resets.

New sprint rom?? http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10293&page=3
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_...PL106_Ship.exe
It's been confirmed. That is the new official ROM for Sprint. It fixes the Bluetooth issues among others. No Rev. A or GPS of course, but that was expected.
question is, is this really "better" than the alltel rom that has been available for a long time already over at PPCgeeks...
The alltel rom fixed the BT and alarm problem as well. I'm excited to see that Sprint finally caught up, but I'm wondering if this is better than the setup I currently have.
Well I for one am happy and upset.. I would like to see REV A , as I need the faster upload speeds for sending big files from my 4gb micro sd.
I havent tried the Alltel rom, but the new sprint rom fixes the keyboard lag + wm6 responsiveness problems.
After reading all of the threads over at PPCGeeks, it seems like there are some mixed results on the ROM (to be expected I guess, you can't appease everyone.)
-Most are reporting the BT fix worked correctly.
-I didn't see anyone say that the Alarm fix didn't work
-People are reporting that the OS seems a little faster and better at managing memory, such as reclaiming more when you close an app, etc.
-The radio version on the Sprint ROM is 1.47, compared to 1.40 of the Alltel, some were reporting better reception between this one and the stock rom (1.32 I believe)
-the most widely spread issue I saw was that some users were having issues with their dpad not working. At first, someone pinned it down to sprinttv, as it worked after they removed it, but then others said that the problem returned.
-YMMV, but some reported that when they skipped the sprint customization of the rom (when it starts initially, after the 3 second delay where you can soft reset) it caused issues on their phone. One person said that a workaround for this was to let it install EVERYTHING initially, and then do a hard reset and skip the customization process. It makes sense that if it were something with the EXTRom that it might put something in there that you needed, but again, not sure on this one.
-I can't believe how many people were stuck on the idea that they would be able to use Sprite Backup or SPB Backup to restore all of their stuff. Let me say this again, because I don't think it can be said enough. Unless you are just restoring folders such as your documents or something non-system related, you CANNOT use these programs. You WILL overwrite the new files with the old ones, causing a boatload of issues, if it even works at all. So don't do it, or you will cause yourself some headaches. Activesync remembers the apps you have installed, so just sync afterwards and click the boxes. For your other stuff such as contacts, back those up with a contact backup app or sync with outlook if you've got it.
just my two cents.

Just to clarify this is part. A hard reset will completely erase any carrier customizations there is absolutely no reason for installing extrom, hard resetting then skipping. Just start out with the hard reset, skip customizations and you'll be good to go.
Although there are still the other bugs with the update =)
Just installed it a while ago, skipped the sprint customizations, everything seems to be running good and actually noticeably quicker than before. New startup screen is cool too, no problems thus far =)
do yourself a favor and wait for the next rom. If you didn't already experiance it, your device will lock up and go to sleep requiring a soft reset...very unusable. and BT will turn off after a few minutes randomly.
load the colonel's rom on, it's much better imho
Seems to only happen to some people though. I have had my phone on pretty much straight since the rom update.
there seems to be a major bluetooth issue where the BT just shuts off periodically.. Not sure how,but they found a way to make bluetooth even worse!
I can't carry on a conversation without BT shutting off on me.. (or use the gps without it shutting off/etc..)

I haven't updated yet, plan to over the weekend, but I would suggest anyone having problems to stop and consider their setup first...
1. What programs are installed that could cause problems?
2. What registry hacks have been done that may cause problems?
3. What configuration settings might need reset that may cause problems?
For example, after a hard reset, Enhanced Network over USB is enabled by default, and this often causes Active Sync to have issues. Likewise, power management tweaks will have reverted to defaults and you may like a more finely tuned setup.
As for memory leaks being better/worse, you may have programs installed that are out of date/buggy.
I realize it's easier to jump on the "this sucks" bandwagon, but it doesn't help you or other users with legitimate problems when no consideration is given to what is causing a given problem.
These situations are precisely why the instructions tell you that EVERYTHING will be erased. This is a good thing since it forces you to clean house, but it also means you have to pay attention to those things you often neglect or may have changed ages ago and forgotten.
Finally, if all else fails, try the ROM update again. Sometimes things go wrong.
Sorry if this seems like a rant, I just want people having issues to place blame where it truly belongs. After considering these matters, if you still have problems, definitely let HTC and the rest of us know.
Best Regards,
Aaron

My experience is as simple and "vanilla" as it gets:
-Loaded new ROM
-Hard reset
-Stopped customizations
-Installed NO apps, did not turn on BT, made no calls, did nothing else
-3 DSODs in 4 hours
-Did a second flash (from a second computer with a freshly downloaded ROM)
-Hard reset
-Allowed customizations to run
-Again no apps, BT or calls
-DSOD within an hour

Sounds atypical to me, given that most users are updating without issue and experiencing better results. I have no reason to doubt your experience though... it sounds like you have faulty hardware, but here's a download link to the previous firmware if you're interested in trying it out first:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/mogul/software-downloads.html
No, "most" users are not experiencing better results. I've been using this ROM with poor results, as have many others. Read this thread for many sad tales of woe:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10302
Basically, the new ROM does fix a bunch of things, but breaks others, so I would not recommend installing this ROM.
1) Locks up when changing from Sprint to roaming. You can test this by manually switching from Sprint to roaming and back a few times, you WILL get a phone lockup.
2) BT turns off randomly for many users.
3) Turn on BT, let unit sit for a few minutes until it goes to sleep, turn unit back on, dpad no longer works. I have seen this myself many times.
Don't install this update --- use the Alltel ROM or wait for another update.

1) You're incorrect in stating that most users have no problems, etc. Some do, some don't. Read the posts at ppcgeeks, pdaphonehome, BAW, hofo. I am not at all alone in having problems.
2) I downgraded 2 days ago, and my Mogul runs fine again - just exactly like it did for the 1st 3 months I had it. It's not my hardware! It's a bad ROM release.
Not everyone uses the phone in the same way at all. So of course some people will not see the same problems that others do.
If you never use Bluetooth and never roam, then this ROM will work for you. Otherwise, it will cause problems. For me, Bluetooth works much better in 2.09, and I rarely if ever see lockups as I have with 2.16. So, I'm going with 2.09 for now. The alarm problem IS fixed in 2.16 but I never use alarms on my phone so it's not an issue for me. Freezes when roaming ARE a problem.

is colonels rom built on the alltel core rom? if so it may be our best bet as of now.
Well vodafone finnaly got their ass into gear and launched 1.66
I installed it on my hd2 from build 1.43 which came with it
but now it barely functions and takes more than 5mins to come out of the standby screen
I've found that 'albumsearcher.exe' is using on average 99% CPU speed
I have max 30pics on the phone so can't understand why htc image viewer is struggling to cope
I love my hd2, even put up with 1.43 for 2 months on it's future benefits, don't know if I can take much more crap from it before vodafone have it back
any help will be appreciated
did you hard reset the phone after flashing?
I presumed it does hard reset after flashing due to the phone and all it's contents being wiped
is hard reset not part of the rom upgrade?

Is this hard reset after flashing ESSENTIAL?
i ask because i dont remember ever seeing it on the HTC instructions on flashing roms
I have no idea why you have to hard reset your phone. But i also learnt this with my hd2 stock rom 1.43 o2.
What is really strange, everytime i hard reset, i get more memory. Not much but i do get more.
Its very bizare. but it really does increase in speed when you hard reset. dont ask why but it works on all the hd2 phones ive used and my friends phone too.
Strange but true
I too can't understand why the extra hard reset, but it does in fact seem to work. roms do seem to run smoother when it has been done.

Microsoft My Phone and PIM Backup will save you some time. I think it's worth giving it a try to do a hard reset. If that doesn't work you can always switch to another (shipped) ROM.
Well i used MyPhone to back it up and then copied all my no.s back to sim
Hard rest is done and the albumsearcher.exe now uses <1%
just bit dissapointed that to update yu have to be prepared to loose everything and start again
still glad i didnt go with iphone...but no other device i have needs to be wiped to update
seems old fashioned for such a modern device
Albumsearcher.exe is back again
whenever i click on the photo tab the .exe uses 91% of the cpu
any ideas on a fix? its the vodafone hd2 1.66 that was just released
anything that doesnt require hard reset? as ive done that and it didnt work
i.66 also decreases screen senstivity
I know its no real use sorry, but just wanted to report that i updated the other day to the Vodafone 1.66 Rom from 1.43 that came shipped in December. I didn't Hard reset after the update (didn't realise you should?) and i haven't had any major issues... Haven't notice any major speed changes either up or down and no rouge programs eating up the cpu...
Makes me wonder though if i should Hard reset now before installing too much.. does it really make a difference??
ive found 1.66 to be much better than 1.43 since the update
Faster to open an app, txting is much faster without having to wait for it to load all the txts
Texting is much better... None stuck in the outbox but everytime i go to the symbols page when typing the cursor jumps to the start of the message?
yea i have that every now and then but 90% of the time its fine
Hi every one,
I have the hd2 and love it, BUT.
almost every time i take a call it will connect and will not hear any thing the other side doesn't hear me to. i can hangup. i try to turn the phone off and it will react but won't turn off, after that it is like the touchscreen isn't responding to any thing. i have to pull the battery to get it to shut off. after a clean boot, i can take a call and every thing will work fine.
it is a almost fresh install with the exception of the flowing:
duttys task manager
tsowen taskbar
Microsoft Facebook
TomTom Navigator
Microsoft MyPhone.
Microsoft Marketplace
Local newspaper app. (Telegraaf)
Any one else having this problem, and maybe a solution. to me it looks like a software problem as the problem is solved by a restart.
Ur probly on the stock rom right best chance is to Flash to a cooked rom atleast thats what i think
I have all the apps u have and i dont have that problem ^^

If he were to go to those lengths to potentially fix this, he would be better:
Hard resetting
Then install the programs one by one and testing in between to see if the call are still affected.
Yeah the step from stock to cooked, I'm not willing to go that far yet, i did think about the app at a time approach but as it is hard to reproduce the error several day's would be between app installs and i don't like that. but if no other solutions are given i will have to
Mine was doing that on the stock rom's and some of the cooked ones. Only thing i found that seems to have worked is the some of the cooked roms with Radio 2.07 or 2.08. Works for me
First I apologize if this has been answered in a prior thread but my phone is my only internet access at the moment and my Sense has crashed making it VERY difficult to do any searching.
So anyway, today I went to unlock my phone and it was frozen. I did a soft reset and when it came on Sense would not work. I've been running the Elegancia GTX ROM for over a week now just perfectly then today sense crashed. So i wanted to know if reflashing the ROM could fix it or if its a hardware issue? any input would be MOST appreciated. Or any fixes you know of. Thanks.

if your having that much problems with the rom, flash a new rom,
(i prefer core cell series) and when you flash it do a hard reset...
and it should be fine, maybe a program you installed ain't compatible with sense.
If the only issue is with sense (i.e. everything works just fine when sense is off), then it's defintely software related and not hardware, so you can rule that out.
What's probably happend is that one or more of the manila files that sense is "made of" has gotten corrupted or deleted. There's over 3000 of those files (if I remember correctly), so finding exactly which ones is probably impractical.
I would start by uninstalling any recently installed apps/tweaks. This may not solve the problem, but it's the easiest thing to try first. If that doesn't work, then hard-reset the current ROM you're on now...just backup any crucial data from the phone first, and catalog your installed cabs etc for reapplying afterwards. Then, if you still can't get sense to behave, go hunting for another ROM to try.
Also note that any time you flash a ROM to your phone, it's always a good idea to do a hard-reset immediately, before using the new ROM, just to help insure stability of the flash.
Hey thanks Phunkee,
I got it figured out. What it was... I was using the Co0kies HTE that came with the ROM and when I changed the 'custom operator text' and the 'main text color' (to red) it messes with sense. I dont know why. But yesterday I did a hard reset, it fixed it. So before I installed anything I decided to try that same step again and what do ya know...Sense crashed.
I think I saw something about using Red in the forum last night as I was looking for a new ROM but I may have dreamed that haha. Either way, I now know not to do that again. Im running the Omega Series Alexander ROM now, I changed the 'custom user text' (not to red, but still custom) and so far all is well.
Great advice though, thanks for the help! And ya I ALWAYS do the hard reset after flashing, and Task 29 PRIOR to flashing. Yesterday I was oping to avoid a hard reset just because I hate having to re-setup everything back to the way I like it.

Phone freezes no matter what I try. Stumped
I have a question that seems not to be able to get answered where ever I post it. so please forgive me for posting here if this is not the correct place. I have been trying android from the beginning and I've tried everyones builds. from winmo to droid and different radios to find the right combination. The problem i keep running into is that my phone freezes up no matter what i do. I tried the letama .2 & .3. This problem even occurs in winmo even with the sd out. I may get a full day out of it with no problems then the problem returns. Right know i'm running MDJ Froyo revolution v.1.3 and winmo ozrom 5.10 wwe and radio 2.10.50.26. Also, wipe the sd clean every time i switch builds or upgrade. Haven't figured out how to do logs yet. still searching and reading to try and teach myself how to be more useful around the forums. Thanks and I appreciate all the hard work the DEVS put in. That's why i follow the rules except this time.

Obey the rules!
Naa, just kidding. But if your phone's freezing even in WinMo there's something really messed up. Did you try to make a task 29 and flash your ROM again? That might be helpful.. If not, turn your phone back to original standards (ROM, HSPL, Radio must be as given by the factory) and go to your retailor to use your guarantee if you still have.

I like you sense of humor. thank you for taking the time and commenting. there has been 30+ people that have viewed this and haven't even responded. But, some can ask like where is the download link and we all now where its at. always at the beginning of the thread,but they get all kind of replies. It just makes no sense to me when someone has a legit question they can't get much help. don't really understand that. Thought we were here to help each other.I don't believe that its an issue hardware issue. i believe its more software than anything. It comes and goes. My phone was going thru a period where it would reboot all by itself with no apparent reason. Then all of a sudden it stopped it and hasn't done that for 4 to 6 weeks.
really 97 views and no insight.
you tried the stock factory rom?? It might be hardware. You will be surprised a tiny drop of water inside your phone will slowly mess up your phone through a long period of time.
Are you on tmobile? I will try to look for a stock rom for you.
BTW, what do you mean by freezing? it hiccups or you have to do a battery pull.

btw, your title is a curious one, that is why you have many views and received little to no response. If they can't help you they won't post anything. But I will try my best to see whats going on.
if your suffering from the freezes in winmo and android then you I think that you need to forget about android for the time being and concentrate on getting a stable WM set up........
If you havent already done so then try a hard reset and see if that helps.......
try booting and running your phone with and without your sd card........
with and without your sim card........
if it still happens after the hard reset then you will need to reflash your WM rom, if you plan on using the phone mostly for android then I would opt for a basic rom like the energy reference series or one of duttys roms.....
there are many reasons why your phone might freeze and you need to spend time trying all situations to figure out what makes it freeze..........
if it still happens after the reset/reflash then we can only assume that it is a serious problem which may well require a warranty replacement.....
if your suffering from the freezes in winmo and android then you I think that you need to forget about android for the time being and concentrate on getting a stable WM set up........
I have tried all that you have suggested. The curious thing to me is that it seems to come and go. It first started with the energy rom and it's also happened with dutty's as well. if you guys know how to pull logs that devs need is possible you could give me a run down on how and then maybe i can find out if it is hardware. My phone has never been near water. i'm very careful about that. I'm using ozrom now. This is the 3rd HD2 i've had. the last one lost all touch response. I just have a feeling its software, but i just have a gut feeling on that. Thanks everyone though for your input i greatly appreciate it and keep it coming.

I have to pull the battery. Then i may have to leave it out for a minute or two maybe longer then replace battery before it will load windows. it will just show the splash screen.
was this happening even when you were running the stock rom?
Have you tried to reformat your SD Card? I have two, and when I used my original card received with my HD2, TMOUSA, it would freeze. Since I reformatted and use new and old card, no problems for over a month.

YES

yes. I have two the 16 that came with it and an 8. it happens with both. I reformat every time i switch builds.
I see that your using radio 2.10 and that caused my HD2 to freeze a lot. change your radio to 2.12 or 2.14
I use the same Android build as you but with the elegancia gtx wm rom with radio 2.14 and after upgrading the radio the freezing (SOD) stopped.
I started using the radio 2.15.50 and have had no problems whatsoever. Also unchecking auto rotate and auto britghtness helps. Sometimes redownloading and installing your Android helps if you got a bad download the first time.
Update
now runnning enery extreme from 11/5 and mdj desire hd with his newest kernel smartass and the only time it freezes in during a call. usually anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes into the call. Anyone have any insight two a possible solution?
This is what I would do:
1. Task 29
2. Flash a slim WM ROM such as the one mentioned in my signature.
3. Flash a NEW RADIO...at least 2.12 or even higher.
3a. Install NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. Just answer and make calls. Period.
4. Test that build for two days. If I have freezups, then my phone is bad and I would flash the stock rom and radio and return it. If it does not freezup goto 5.
5. Completely reformat my SD card to Fat32 32kb (or 64kb if you think it affects stuttering in music).
6. Since you and I are both in the US, I recommend getting an Android that has a built in TMO MMS fix such as the new MDJ build (with link to MMS fix) or the fine MooMoo build or even Bluetopia.
7. Test the basic features in Android for two days minimum and see if I get freezeups (after disabling auto-rotate and wi-fi on the Android build as well as completely shutting off all radios in WM).
8. Be glad I got this far, and slowly reinstall my apps, testing each thoroughly for freezing.

Thanks for taking the time to post this i appreciate it. I have tried it all. It appears to be getting better. I have been using MDJ's kernels since he posted them with his desire hd build. I have always felt that it was software related and not hardware. It appears to me to be caused maybe by the data drops from ppp. Not sure though till i teach myself how to do that. thanks again though.
Turned out to be a hardware issue. Got my new replacement and it works flawless. Can't believe the fun I was missing. At least it was a great learning experience.
