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
Hello everybody,
After flashing an Elfin Rom to my Elf, my Elf stuck at there colors screen. Vodafone-Shop was quite helpful and they sent me a new Elf
I have been using the new Elf for about 3 weeks and for the third time (happens almost one time in a week), my Elf does not recognize, that i press the power button. If the display was off, i see that the led blinks and even the long pressing of the power button does not change anything. The only solution was a soft reset. Today i lived it again, but this time the display was on and it did not turn off. Holding the power button for a few seconds and restarting was the solution.
Has anyone the same problem or any ideas why it can happen?
Thanks in advance...

On my HTC Touch (P3451) I have the same problem: The phone randomly freezes in such a way that I have to do a soft reset. Also, when the phone is on stand-by, when I press the On/Off button (to turn the screen on) nothing happens... neither if I press any of the other buttons (green, red or camera),despite of this, the green led of the top still blinks... Some other times, it justs restarts by it's own, no matter what I'm doing (a few time during today screen, some other using office, a couple listening tu music, and a lot of times when it was on stand by in my pocket).
Also, the phone loses the cellular signal very often (I don't know if that is related to the freezing problem).
I've tried doing a hard reset an using it without any 3rd party programs installes, but the problem persist.
I tried taking it to the vendor in Lima (where I live), but they say that because thre's a small scratch on the case, the warranty is void...
I don't know what to do about this... Any suggestions? please?
This is a hardware problem, This problem is associated with faulty motherboard, and suddenly, in a few days you will notice that phone will stop getting power on, it generally happens when phone falls on hard surface from a height, may due some dislocation of micro soldering. Its better you report to service centre, if the phone the phone is in warranty, they will replace motherboard free of cost, only issue is your device IMEI number will change with motherboard replacement.
i think the problem was something to do with the software. i flashed the Junior version of Onyx ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 to my Elf, which has YouTube and GoogleEarth preinstalled and is memory-friendly at the same time. Now my Elf does not freez anymore.
I think it's a software problem.
I flashed a lot of ROMs in my Elf but, after a flash version 3.1.1 of really great Onyx Sr., the phone starts to have a bad behavior. It's freeze a lot and the green led still blinks.
I will try to use normal light off and shutdown method instead of using ShutXP to try. But it's definitely a software problem.

HI marcosvafg,
i have done the same like you, marcosvafg. but unfortunately my touch is lost in black-screen-smart-moblity-screen-space. can you give me a detailed description what you have done to restart your mobile phone?
i did this:
- go into bootloader
- start to install new rom
but every rom i used i got an error (image is corrupted, wrong model ID). which rom did you use?
many thanks
alex0123
I had a problem where my Elf started freezing almost after me entering the PIN. It is true that it got a rough drop just before doing it, but no serious damage was done to its skin.
I got it to the company and they changed the motherboard free of charge.
Hi guys,
i think gagandeepbains is right that this is a hardware problem. Because i lived it many times with some other cooked ROMs, and i can say that it is happening mostly when the temperature in the environment is low. maybe it is a reason, why this happens usually, when leaving the mobile on overnight...
after flashing my original ROM, i"ll give it back to Vodafone and ask for a change.
for you all, if you still have warranty, bring those back (and who knows, maybe you get an ELFIN instead of an ELF).
the same thing happened to my elf when i first got it back in august last year.
was a hardware problem, orange UK sent it to HTC for repair and i got it back 3 weeks later with a new motherboard in the phone,
also got a surprise to find that they had also upgraded the memory.
i sent in an elf and got an elfin back.
i thought that was a nice surprise
alright.
but to make sure, you can always upgrade to 03.21.90 radio.
thats the most stable one.
I had the same problem but with coocked roms (rarely with the original one)
early onyx roms had a bug with ELF but not in new roms
If still in warrenty try to change it again
I have just got the HD2 and been using it for a few weeks. Downloaded a few apps (eg HTC rom, BSB tweeks) and all is good. Saw Max Manila and looked like a great idea - checked my manila version 2.5.19211619.0 and downloaded 2.7 SE (checked it's right for my manila) loaded onto phone and it crashed after soft reset. Took battery out and phone doesn't go past first screen (with the red writing bottom left) - Hard reset is the same and now I'm worried!
Any ideas???
sad to say yy sounds like hard reset time.
power off, hold volume up and volume down, tap power keeping volume up and down pressed til the screen comes on and follow the prompts.
it will reset your phone to factory defaults.
never used max manila so I cant help with what the problem might be, but if there is a developers thread for it you might be better asking there.
Thanks for replying samsamuel - I've tried the hard reset and it doesn't work!
Even when I do as you say, I get the white start screen with htc written on it and then several red lines at the bottom right starting R G and D and that's it! It just stay's like that - At this moment I'd pray for a hard reset!!
I'm going to try booting from the sd card but I'm not sure I can get the phone to go into the bootable mode. I've downloaded the HTC rom and extracted the nmh so we'll see.
if your phone is provider locked then that will not work.you need the rom that came on your phone. so if was from uk o2 then you need the o2 uk rom, otherwise it wont work.
No luck! Whilst I've got everything to sort the phone out it won't do anything but load the white first screen no matter which buttons I hold down.
Man this sucks!
Guess there's nothing for it except the bin unless anyone else has any other ideas??
can you get into boot loader?
press and hold vol down(not up this time, just down) tap and release power, keep vol down held. should boot to striped cultures colored screen.
if you can what does it say next to SPL?
Hi Samsamual
Thanks for helping but no, won't go into bootloader either - doesn't respond to any input (even when I conect the usb the charge led doesn't come on!) and just starts with the white screen with the HTC logo and then the red writting appears and it just hangs - left it for 5 mins just to be sure and no change
Looks like I've really messed it up although I have no idea what I did wrong - instal went just like the other things I installed.
Ahh shame. All i can suggest is the original rom sd card method. But it MUST be the propper rom that came on your phone, so if you got it from vodaphone, , , even if it is unlocked, you must use the voda rom.
Also, have a really good read through the pages in teh rom development section. If you can find someone with the exact same issue, you could be one step closer to fixing it.

When you tried the SD card method did you use a 2GB SD card and was it formatted to FAT32?
WB
Have you tried a boot (all combinations!) without the sd card installed?
Hoss and WB - thanks for the comments
Hoss, I've held the volume buttons for over a minute after powering on - no change
WB, I can't get the phone to go into boot loader screen but thanks for the info for the future. Next time I'll see if I can copy the original rom just in case.
Resigned myself to having a new paper weight on my desk and looking for a new phone - Guess I won't be putting so many programs on my new one....
PA - Thanks for the advice - Yes tried with sd card in/out sim in/out bootloader, hard reset, soft reset and always the same.
In your posts you do not mention where you bought your HD2, and I do not know what country you are in.
From what I have read, it seems that you did not flash any ROMs, nor change your SPL, so if I were you, at this point, rather than accepting a bricked paperweight, why not explore your warranty possibilities?
Contact the place you bought the HD2 (the dealer) and explore your options. Since I do not know which country you are in I will not suggest an HTC service center, but if your country has such a center, at last resort, you might check out that possibility.
Since you apparently had no hardware problems before the manila incident, it would seem that it is a software glitch somehwere.
Good luck with all of this. It must be almost heartbreaking to have this happen with such beautiful hardware.

What's most annoying is it wasn't as if I was doing anything crazy! Max manila is used by many people (from what I've seen in the threads) and I guess I downloaded the wrong one (although naturally I checked and it's the right one). Certainly will curb my using of 3rd party software! As for the warranty, you're right, I can try and see if it can be fixed (bizarrely, that hadn't occured to me - I thought that with no resets working HTC couldn't do anything). Thanks for the tip and I'll let you know how I get on.
Surely your warranty will cover this. Yes, let me (and us) know how all of this goes. You will get your phone back to what you deserve, for sure!
I had the same issue.
Sent mine to HTC and got it back with the comment "Cannot reproduce"
Probably it solved itself when the battery was removed for a couple of days in the mail.
It has now been working for two weeks again.
Fingers crossed.

Experential nut I may be, but just wondering if you had the problem after you installed the MAx manila? I wonder now what versions of OS may be causing this problem.
i had something like this with my HTC Diamond... It stopped responding completely when turned on, didn't respond to the usb cable being plugged in (the round ring used to illuminate when charging)
I took the battery out, for about 30 minutes... then left it charging for another 30 minutes - booted up straight away and never did anything like that again
Worth a shot just leaving it without power for awhile, and then just recharging it
Like watnuweer mentioned, "cannot reproduce" probably fixed itself by not having the battery left in for awhile

This is getting more interesting, what do you suppose is the cure of taking out the battery, and then charging? I do not doubt your experience, I am just extremely curious if anyone can explain this phenomena.
I pressed the I.E to log on here funny enough,when suddenly my hd2 did a master reset by its own accord. A full master reset not a soft reset. How can this be even possible ?. This is crazy doing it by itself. After a while i tried setting up my internet again when it froze. i did a soft reset and now its stuck in load up(blue o2 screen). tried taking battery out and in and several soft resets but same. help.

are you sure you havent tried flashing a custom rom recently?
Thankyou for the fast reply. My hd2 is still basically standard. No roms flashed ever. last thing i downloaded was yesterday which was win office 2010 update on market place. phone has been fine all day.
started working again. i saw that somehow only had 11mb left on device memory. it was 90mb a few hours a go. i started looking into win and what suddenly swallowed my memory when it has self master reset again. Going to call it HAL from now on lol. Im just leaving it on charge at moment.
Just a quick update.. I managed to beat hal to it and do a master reset. Seems to be working ok. Even opera working again. I think it was the app i downloaded from market place. All i can think off.
all the best and good luck
mine is on repair now, got oily thingy on the center of screen...

this is the most unadequate place to post this question, probably it's a case of thread hijacking, anyway those would be games programmed to specifically work on VGA screens, there's no way that I know of to make them work in WVGA, because they just don't know how to
sorry... was browsing through... didn't mean to post hear... but thanks anyway
I insatlled interkey 3.0 and after install my HTC freezes on the HTC logo sometimes appears the windows orange logo but no more I made reset and the same issue. I removed the battery for 10 minutes and the same. Anyone can tell me how can i do to login again? Is there a safe mode? Maybe try to login to uninstall interkey. Thank you
perform a hardreset...power off your device, press vol down, vol up and power button. everything else is instructed by hd2 =)

Thank you
At least saved my phone all my info was lost but my phone after hard reset works perfect. Thank you
no problem =)
would be very courious, if hard reset wouldnt help =)

Hi guys,
I have the same problem, but the hardreset did not change anything.
ideas what to do anyone?
well i have the same problem... LOOONG time ago...
i did a hard reset several times... it helps maybe for 1~2 weeks.. but not longer.
then i get the same problem again..
i use stock ROM (i didn't install others because if i have big problems with stock, i think it would NEVER boot with custom ROM) and only few of programs installed: co0kie's home tab, opera mobile 10, xtract, doodle jump and resco file explorer... and that's all i have!!!!! so i don't think that's program issue... previously, i didn't use co0kie's home tab and i have the same problem
I sent it to repair center, they said it's damaged by water... they fixed it... worked for about 1 week, then i had some problems with phone app, sent it back to repair, they said a hook-up was linked incorrectly in one place. then they said it will work perfect, they fixed everything...
but now, after 1 more week, IT FREEZES AGAIN!!!!!!
PLEASE PEOPLE HELP ME!!!!!! I GOOGLED IT FOR AGES!!!!! and found NOTHING helpful!!!
