What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe

whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)

Just download the rom mentioned above - connect device to computer (does not have to activesynced) and run the rom intaller and the rom will install.

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.

i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far

Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!

s200 won't boot into windows anymore

hi,
i recently wanted to simply restart my qtek s200 (g3), it stops at the blue windows mobile boot screen and just hangs and does nothing (i've waited for hours).
I am not using any mods, simply the original rom/software. The only thing extra installed is 3rd party software and the home screen from the new htc touch (i've have been using it for some time now, and yes, i have been able to reboot several times during that period).
I have no idea why it isn't working anymore since I have been using it in an ordinary fashion and have not installed any software lately...
What I have tried so far:
- soft reset
- removing battery, sd card, sim card
- hard reset is impossible due to the fact that my comm button no longer functions.
Any ideas how I can get this phone to boot in windows again?
If there is no "normal" way, then a hard reset would also work for me as the phone contains no important data.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Since no hard reset is available... try removing the battery for the whole night.
If you do manage to get to windows then watch out for the startup folder, you're probably overloading the memory at startup.(htc home and psxut eat a lot at startup and windows as well)

i have removed the battery, sim and sd, and just left it there the whole night, but it still won't go further than the windows boot screen...
any suggestions ?
is is possible to do a hard reset by connecting it to usb and enter the bootloader somehow ? if yes, how ?
thanks!

hi,
have you tryed entering bootloader by the normal process?
"Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)"
regards

yes, I can get into the bootloader, I can then also connect with USB with a notification at the bottom of the screen saying it's connected. However, I have no idea what to do afterwards ...

Okay then there is still hope.. When you have connected the device run an opdate tool like the NVID WM5 Rom.. that should work as a hard reset..

are there any working links available for this ? rapidshare seems to have disabled this...
thanks!

As long as you are able to enter bootloader then you can flash it with any old prophet rom. I had the same issue after installing WM6 rom. I used a Spanish rom on wiki to bring it back and then installed WM6 VII touch. So far it has worked well for a week.

HTC 6tab Home screen killed my 818pro!!!!!!
Here is what happened a few days back. My 818pro (aka prophet) suddenly heat up while not in use 3 days ago. I thought it was caused by the hot weather in my country (I was driving with aircond in full blast). The heating up eventually go away. Then 2 day later, after I put down a call, my phone just frozen / hung. Hence, I do a soft reset & guess what It never recovered & stop at the black screen with the dopod logo while restarting. Some service centre I visited told me that the main memory chip need replacement & reflash!!! I can't even see the window screen. I have use the HTC 6tab for 2 months & I am very sure it's the culprit here. Hopefully you are not having the same problem like me
Try plug in the ac charger before u do soft reset. My phone need it in order to restart after soft reset (after I started using the HTC 6tab Home Screen).
That is before my phone die yesterday

[Help] HTC HD2 can't start up after edit registry.

Early I edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS cache to 2048.
By now I can't start my HD2, it hang on HTC word with R,G,D code number and won't start on window.
Anything I can do for that?

I had to do 2 hard resets due to this tweak. Good thing i just got my phone and didn't lose anything but some some playing around with it.
My problem was a bit different though. It would start up but things won't load properly and seems the screen is not aligned(clicking on shorcuts don't do anything).
Anywhow, it seems this problem is affecting a lot of people, espcially ones with stock roms. I'd just stay away from this tweak for now.

Can't start my phone after Axlor 9.7 this rom ?

Did u try HR? If not try it should help

I got exactly the same problem! Don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!

Not much you can do except hard reset and not use that registry "tweak" next time. I too have run into this, and I cook my own roms... so yeah, some how this is not compatible with the newer rom bases.

Okay.. Thanks mate, how do i do this Hard reset? I think i have tried the most?? Can you please guide me?

take out your battery, put back your battery, while holding volume up and volume down together press power button, release when you see 3 color bars.

Hi guys,
my HD2 remains blocked after HTC word at starting. I did 2 consecutive hard resets (using Vol UP/Down and Power buttons) but the problem remains. Still doesn't start.
Can any one help me on how to make it starting?
Thanks a lot.

boot without external card
try resetting your HD2 without your micro sd card in the slot.
I had this problem before, if you boot your device without an SD card, you might get some errors, but your phone will start.
Then undo the registry tweak and reboot again with micro sd card in slot..
Let me know if it worked

Thank you p50kombi for your help. I've already tried restarting without the m-SD card but it remained unsuccesful. I finally entered the bootloader USB menu and was able to flash my ROM. The problem was probably my Radio which was not compatible with the ROM (i aimed at testing different radio versions - now i know from which Radio version Leo 3.14 is compatible).
Many thanks to you.

i have the same problem ... i cant open my htc hd2 .. it stucks on HTC screen. i tried Hard reset (with buttons) but it doesn't work for me... can you suggest me any other way to reset my phone please ?
Thanks alot

MAybe a clue to what ROM/RADIO/SPL/ newly added software or tweaking was on the phone.

It seems that a lot of people have the same problem.And i was thinking that i was the only one... I had the same problem. After a hard reset started again but the problem comes back every time i try to add an application like Cookie Home tab or spb programs or what ever...
The strange thing is that i used Cookie home and a lot of programs since 7 months ago without a problem and i didn't do anything when the problem started.
I used to have HTC Touch 3g for 3 years and never had problems like this and i thought that is a good idea my new phone be another htc....Wrong decision..
Happy new year from Greece.

same issue but

Hello, it's my first message also.
If I understand well what you're meaning, you encounter problems for unlocking the phone ?
I think I had almost the same issue, but figured it out quickly, I think: the unlock slider is special for practical or security reasons. As far as I know (I have the HTC Leo for one month only), the unlock slider needs to be pressed a very little longer in order to become active (it becommes white) before you can slide it right or left.
It's not an issue in the end, but I hope we're talking of the same thing.

Thanks for your reply,but ive tried everything and it just doesnt respond..it starts working after a while though :s

When it responds and you can use it normally, you could try a hard reset (Settings>Security> Factory reset)...

[Q] screen trouble

Hello you all
I've got a strange problem with my HDmini :
Sometimes, the screen stops responding !
I can touch any button, the screen in any place, nothing happens.
I only have to remove the battery ( because thre is no reset ).
After strated again, when PIN code is asked, if a tap on "3" for exemple, it is like if i have tapped on "6" ; if i tap on "erase", i see "cancel" highlighted !
And after a few minutes, everything becomes normal again.
An idea ?

Did you install any cab or custom settings?

Yes, i'm using throttlelauncher with WP7 theme but when the screen is stuck, i have two choices :
Remove the battery to start again, without throttlelauncher started .
Restart the HTC with Mymobiler if the HDmini is connected.
At the end, the problem stays on.
I only have to wait for some time and then the touchscreen works again... by itself !

I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.

Bart3385
For example, yesterday and today everything was OK and 5 minutes ago, the screen has stuck again !
Nothing possible to do on the screen neither with the 5 keys at the bottom !
I have to connect the HDmini to the PC and reboot it with my mobiler;
then i can use the screen interface.
It seems that the problem is the touch screen !

Try to ask for a new device (if it's still under warranty )

Maybe your device is blocking so hard that your keys and screen both don't work anymore. I have had that too once Maybe Trottle causes this?

Madmatt
The problem is to be sure that a software is the problem origin; before i ask for the PDA to be replaced by my operator.

Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

That's a possible option.
Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that.
Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is defective hardware.

It is normal, sometimes, it doesn't respond, lame htc hd mini. I have this problem long ago.

Thank's for your suggestions.
Today, the phone is completly stuck.
That's why i don't think it is a software problem.
I can' even entry the PIN code.
i've tried a Hard reset, to flash back to Original Rom = nothing more.
So i've asked Orange for an exchange under garanty...

That's a good move.
In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.
