Wizard hangs 2 secs after booting

Hi guys,
I own a Qtek 9100, running K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe.
Yesterday it hung during hotsync, so I had to disconnect it and SR. After loading all the OS and starting ringing for all the reminders, so screen froze. The Send & End buttons still light up the display, and the off button still works, but the touch screen is non-responsive and the volume/comm/voice buttons do nothing.
So, I HRed it, and all came back to normal. However, after I restored from my latest SPB-Backup, it hung again after the SR. This is weird, since the backup was made 2 days before my device hung. So I tried to:
1. Restore older and older backups. Got the same behavior.
2. Reinstall the ROM, and then reostore backups. Same behavior.
2. Restore the backup, to load SPB-pocket plus, and then reboot in safe mode and then restore the backup again. No good.
Anyone has any clue on what software glitch is hanging my device?
Thanks!

Rebuild
I ran into something similar, wound up rebuilding from scratch. Is your backup program running off the SD card? That was the problem in my case, the backups themselves were corrupted.
I rebuilt from scratch and the MDA worked much better afterward; I guess I had some registry problems from uninstalls or something.

I have the same issue with my Cingular 8125 (haven't taken the time to rebuild). My symptoms are the same as yours, the way I got around it (temporary, until I rebuild it) is to remove the SD card when it boots. Wait a few seconds after it boots to reinsert it.
Oddly, if I reinsert it, I can no longer receive SMS messages (messaging doesn't launch period). I can launch messaging once I remove the SD card. Reinserting it again will, once again, not allow me to access messaging. It's odd and totally came out of the blue. I didn't install anything on the phone for a few days (this started happening last week) from when before it started happening.
Oh, and I'm also running Pocket Plus (interesting...).

HTC HD2 fails to wake up after restore using sprite backup

Hello there guys. This is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. I have problem on my device. Basically my htc hd2 was running fine, i had all my programs installed etc. I have created various backups of the phone using sprite backup.
I decided to do a hard reset because the phone never used to go into standby (screen off) when charging, only the backlight used to dim. I checked all the settings and i set the device to dim after 1 min and switch off after 2 mins when connected to external power. It still never switched off, this was turning out to be a nuisence specially when getting missed calls at night and screen staying on.
Therefore i done a hard reset and used sprite backup to restore various backup's as i had a few, but they wernt making the device function correctly. So once the backup file's were restored everything would be fine on the phone untill it went into standby, it then would fail to respond, sometimes the hardware button light up, sometimes nothing. The screen would remain off. I would really like to use the backup files as restoring the phone manually would be teadous. Any clues in what could be causing this, cant be the case off a bad backup as i have created a few.
P.S When hd2 is returned to stock it functions normally. Programs installed battlog, clear temp, bsb tweakes opera 10, opnmarket, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd 1.5.1.0 v2.1, coreplayer 1.3.6, myplayer, 1NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, 2NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab.
Really appreciate it if you pros can shed any light on this? cheers

do you have s2u2 installed?
if so goto settjng power and switch power of in setting to off.
i had a similar problem, this seemed to cure it
hth
nev

Hi nev, thans for your reply, no i do not have s2u2 installed, also i would like to add that when the device was left overnight on charge, it fails to wake up,the screen stays blank only the hardware buttons light up and shows the orange charging light. Please guys help me out here, thanks

I'm a little stuck for another solution. I'd always thought that this was an issues with sprite and s2u2, seems no now.
Would you be willing to test? worse case you could un-install S2U2 or disable it.
It would be interesting to see if installing S2U2 and disabling the power option would fix the problem.
Which lock screen do you currently use?
All of the problems you are describing are exactly the same issues I was having.

Hi Nev, so you reckon sprite backup software could be the problem? I have never had S2U2 installed.
I have restored the phone to factory it works as it should. Nev are you suggesting that i install S2U2 after restoring the sprite backup file, then disable the power option?
oh i am using the winmo default lockscreen with device password.
How did you manage to fix your device then? Were you having the same issues when restoring using sprite back up files? If so could you please give me a brief rundown on what i should do?
Seems like this is not a common issue on here judging on lack of replies. Thanks for your help nev.

I'd give it a go. You have nothing to lose.
S2U2 is an excellent piece of software, amongst other things, it has password protection, and allows you the option of reviewing txt, mail, reminders, etc all from the lockscreen. Additionally, you can set it to allow quick switching between vibrate and sound profiles. ("sales" pitch over)
If your not going down this route I suspect that another hard reset and re-installing you apps from scratch is in order.... I did this about three times before I realised that there was a conflict when restoring from Sprite.
good luck

your symptoms seem kinda similar to "Leo Screen freeze crash Issue"

Thanks guys for your help, i think i am going to leave it stock for a while and see if the screen plays up. I dont fancy doing all the sofware installs, incase the device is faulty. Thank you that link p107r0

good luck with yours, btw I used to have the described 'syndrom', hard reset helped, since than I keep most of the old backup copies, assuming that if anything similar happens some of those should work properly

Same problem here - SOLVED
Guys,
I very recently faced the same problem that it was virtually impossible to wake up my HD2 from standby after I had to do a restore with Sprite Backup (same problem as reported by explicitsoundz1984).
Since I actually found two solutions to fix the problem permanently, I like to share them with you:
Solution 1) After I removed all non-stock program links from the autostart folder, the problem was still exisiting. Therefore, I checked the list of installed apps from explicitsoundz1984 with mime and found a potential suspect: "srs wowhd" which obviously is buried deeper in the OS. After de-installing "srs wowhd", the standby of death problem was permanently gone!
Solution 2) I read in another threat that the standard restore options of Sprite Backup do not replace the current registry with the backup registry, but tries to "merge" them - this obiously leads to the situation that a full restore from a stable backup set can result in an unstable configuration.
After changing the restore setting for "system settings" to "replace" instead of "merge", the resulting restore was again a stable one.
Cheers,
Jan

Yes
with Sprite you must use erase and restore. You have to reset these parameters each time you are going to do a restore. It merges by default. If you are going to restore directly from the backup file on the SD then just double click on the file and restore. Then go into Sprite and change the parameters to restore and erase and restore again. The first one directly from the file execute will merge A pain but it works.

Unwanted Factory Reset and Dell Backup Sucks

This morning my Streak decided to do a factory reset. I had listened to Audible last night and this morning the program was in "sleep" mode, the way I had set it. I touched the screen, it woke up and started playing. I turned the sound down and the screen went blank and then to the Dell Logo. When it was done rebooting, I discovered it had done a factory reset.
Well, I thought, that sucks, but no biggie, I had downloaded the "Dell Backup" program they just provided. I had several backups to choose from. I chose the one from two days ago. I ran it. It says it worked. All it restored were my wallpapers. I tried again. This time I went "advanced" and checked off all the options to restore including programs, and settings. This time after "restoring" it basicly wanted me to go through each of my 50 plus programs one by one and tell it to reinstall.
I don't call that a restore. I could do that myself with the appbrain market. So, Don't count on the Dell Backup and Restore program to do anything worthwhile.
I have had a problem the last few weeks with the Dell PC suite working when I tried to do a backup. So the last good backup I have is from 11/5. I am used that and so when it was finished, I had an actual "restored" streak. Two weeks old but better than starting from scratch.
Of course what this means it that when I get the OTA Froyo, the "dell backup" will not automatically restore all the things it says as easily as one might have hoped.

That is exactly my experience as well.
However, when going to froyo, that is all you can backup and successfully restore anyway..
But it sucks if you do a factory restore, as you must do most of the work manually.
Found the old 1.6 backup utility to be a little buggy, so normally take two consecutive backups to make sure one is not corrupt.
Hopefully I don't have to find out the hard way how the nero backups work :s

Anyone found a way to get this working? What I hate the most is that I've lost all the data and settings (including my notes etc)

Issue with Atrix/Simcard - need help

I posted this in the Atrix Development forum under Gingerblur since that's what's currently on it, but it may just be a general Android issue so I'm reposting it here as well just in case:
OK I had something weird happen to my gf's phone yesterday. I don't know if this is Gingerblur related, but that's what's on it so I'm putting it here.
AT&T Atrix w/ Gingerblur 4.0 (Just haven't got around to going to 4.5)
So I put Gingerblur on it 2-3 months ago and it's been working great for her. So yesterday I was with her and we were going to install this market app (I can't remember what it was), but she hit Install on the market app, it changed to the OK button, but when she clicked OK, the button just flashed and just sat there and did nothing. i found that odd. So I had her see if she could sideload an app (not the same one) -so I downloaded it to the phone and clicked it to install it. I accepted it and it just said "Installing...." forever. So I told her OK the phone got out of whack or something let's just reboot it.
So we reboot it, and she complains that a lot of her apps show the default android icon for them (instead of their respective icon pics) and she can't run them. From what we noticed, these were all the apps that were moved with app2sd. Also, nothing will install from the market - you can get there, but you get the same symptoms as above. You can click "Install" on the app but when you click "OK" it doesn't do anything.
Under Settings/Manage Applications it shows all her apps installed so the phone still thinks all the apps are there. So I tell her to pick an app that she doesn't really care about and Uninstall it. She said that works, but trying to install it through the Market fails.
So she's freaking out. I tell her to let me at least back up what I can off the phone. So I try plugging the phone into my computer with the USB. I can't get the phone to be seen at all by the computer. I put the USB into Mass Storage mode/Nothing/etc, and even turn off/on USB Debugging - I just can't get this thing to be seen. So now I'm starting to worry.
We have an external SD card in the phone so I was able to start copying what I could under Setting/Files over to the SDcard.
Now all I'm thinking about is getting this phone working again so I'm starting to read how to recover the phone back to stock using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
So I'm able to get it into the recovery state. So as I'm downloading the SBF, I notice it says to remove the SIM card too. So I shut it down, and remove the SIM. I boot up the phone regularly and I notice everything is working now as it should (minus the phone since the SIM is out), but all apps are there and working correctly and the market works as it should.
So immediately I nab Titanium Backup from the market and start backing things up. I tell her to go through the list and start backing up what she thought was important. So I'm thinking this thing fixed itself, but when I put the SIM card back in, we're back to the broken state again.
So.. does anyone know what's going on here? It seems like the phone doesn't like her SIM card anymore, but she can still make calls with it aside from the rest of the phone issues with it in.
If we need to take this back to stock, I will - especially now that I was able to back things up with TB.

Any way to extract data from phone that won't turn on?

I dropped my Axon 7, which was already on its last legs, and now it won't turn on. Dim red LED and vibration every 20 or 30 seconds. I opened it up and checked all the cables, etc., and I don't think it's just a loose cable. The screen is definitely damaged--it had a faint green spot when I first picked up up, and now it has nothing going on at all.
My photos and files are backed up, but my SMS/MMS backups apparently weren't as automatic as I thought, and I've lost about a year and a half worth of them.
Is there anything I can do to get them off? Are there some digital forensics tools that might work? (I assume, if I was an ax murderer, the police wouldn't be stymied by a four foot drop onto a tile floor. There must be some way to access the data, right?)
The device is stock, and encrypted with the built in FDE.

I reckon as far as that kind of data with no access to it running and encryption enabled, you're out of luck.
No help to you now, but I like to manually backup my logs and messages with SMS backup and restore now and then. That way you can transfer them to any Android, not just the brand of what you're using. I upload to my Google drive so it can can be downloaded to a phone with only internal storage.

Yeah, that was more or less what I was doing too. I thought I had Handcent Next SMS set up to automatically back up everything, but it doesn't seem to have saved anything since August of 2018.
Is there anything else i can do to get the phone running again?
