2nd hard reset in 12 hours!!

ok guys, ive been hanging around this forum for some time (even though i havent participated <<< bad boy =P)
the thing is my phone kinda hangs, so i have to soft reset it, but wen it loads again, it stays on the cingular splash screen and just hangs, even though the LED's on top flash, but i cant do anything, i tried soft resetting again, but same thing, i tried removing battery, also no use...so the only option i had to hard reset it..
and after the torture of restoring all the applications and contacs and info, everything was fine till it froze again, so after the soft reset, same problem occured as above... >.<
my device is an unlocked cingular 8125, no overclock no nothing...only added a 1gb mini sd...
any suggestions??

What software do you have installed? It maybe a software issue ? After a hard reset try using it a day w/o loading your software to see if the problem occurs again. Then load your software one by one until the problem comes back. That's probably what I would do.

well its no specific software, it almost happened 2day too.
the first time i did the hard reset, last install i did was install PHONEPROFILE, then the 2nd hard reset, last app i installed was morphgear. and a couple of hours ago, i resarted, it took time to load back but it finally loaded.
could this be a rom problem?

May be your minisd - reports of this have been due to the card. try it a while without the card and if it made a difference format the card on the device with storage tools (google it). Which rom are you using? an upgrade in rom may solve your problems and give you a faster device.

this is wat i get wen i click on device info:
Rom version: 1.8.11.1 WWE
rom date : 11/24/05
radio version: 01.09.11
protocol version: 4.0.13.20
extrom version: 1.8.11.103
does it look bad? =S
(the date give me the idea that the rom needs updating maybe??)
as i said, this device had no "modding", no rom upgrades, no nothing..
i bought the phone, popped in the mini sd, unlocked the device using lokiwiz 0.2b
nothing else

Would go for an aku2 rom, the official leaked cingular one ftp://xda:[email protected]_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
Would suggest still try the phone without minisd in and if you do decide to upgrade rom back everything up.

as for software wise morphgear works fine on my device so i doubt its that i noticed that when i installed phonealarm on my fone it lagged to **** everything. gl on getting it fixed

ok, i searched around the forum for the definition of a rom and wat it does..
i KNOW that a rom is kinda like the basic files to run the device, but wat other jobs will it do? and wat changes will i c if i upgrade to AKU2 , and is there a ROM that has built-in arabic support? (i.e. arabic is supported w/o any 3rd party software)

Hermes Freeze randomly

Hi,
I've got 2 Hermes (HERM100 from Orange):
The first, HERM100 (alias HERMA) all is ok
The second, HERM100 (alias HERMB), i make some action on this phone :
-CID Unlock
-Hard-SPL (i try with 2.10, 2.30 and 2.60)
-Change ROM : the same as HERMA or the other WM6.1 WWE (i've already test on HERMA)
But sometimes HERMB freeze when :
-it's booting : SubSplash
-After a long call (15minutes)
-Try to install some apps
This HERMB, make ALONE a hard-reset after :
-DeviceUpdate (apps)
-Try to launch somes apps (freeze first and HR after)
Someone knows this problem and can solve it?

Install stock rom 1st then re-install the rom you are using.
If you are trying to use a BS rom then installing the stock rom should stabilize the BS install.

What is BS?
When i tried to install a ROM, my HERMB have a bug at 100% (don't restart alone) i must soft-reset it.

It's Bull**** like crappy roms.

I've test to upgrade the Original ROM (Orange) and after the newest Orange ROM = No problem
But after with a 6.5 ROM, the problem is not solved...

I've downgrade SPL from 2.60.Olipro to 2.30.Olipro. It seems be better

wont boot
i got this problem after i installed a rom, my phone froze i remove the battery thingking it would solved the problem but now it wont BOOT !!!pls help

Actually Leva, its "Big Storage"... The usual method of stopping this problem is to install the stock rom, minus the radio, let it go through a setup then install the BS rom.
If you think the ROM's are bull****, you don't need to use them...

BS Roms, need to reset everytime

Hi,
My problem is solved with a downgrade of Hard-SPL to 2.30-Olipro...

My Camera will not work anymore??

everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great

Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer

I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work

When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?

the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.

so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.

well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.

Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards

I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...

I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.

if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom

Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input

Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.

Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.

What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...

Hard reset

Can anyone tell me if this will wipe any updates etc that have been done to the phone by the phone company?
my phone forgot the lock code so i had to do a hard reset, since then the phone has been freezing quite often, mainly when sending/recieving texts if you change the orientation while typing.
at the moment its either wait 2 minutes for it to sort itself out or just restart sense which is now becoming annoying.
any help appreciated

it also wont play the h.264 recordings i have made on the phone, i just get a black screen that says loading :/

well i have figured out it is definately related to the orientaion of the phone, i cannot turn the phone on its side when sending texts or using the web browsers or it will just lock up or slow to a crawl.
p.s. somone just please reply so i know i aint getting ignored cos my posts seem to be lol

Hmmmm...
Is the issue only occuring since you performed the hard reset and not before?
Have you tried reinstalling any updates you had before the reset?
Do you have a lot of msg's in your inbox?

updates are usually stored in root of phone
have you installed any new cabs or roms ??
if you've not installed anything new another hard reset may be in order just to re-syncronize phone
only help I can give at mo

Yeah it will. it is like doing a windows system restore using the restore discs that came with your pc. Personally i would look at updating to a newer rom if you haven't already got a 1.66 or 1.72 based stock rom. You could always look at a custom rom. I use energy 23569 and i haven't had any problems with it. Also the energy roms include a newer version of sense that is included with the new TMOUS roms and it appears to be less buggy

thanks for the replies guys,
it was fine before the reset but it did slow a little in landscape mode but nothing anywhere near what its like now, key presses had a slight delay and now they are like a 5 second delay....portrait mode is perfect.
i always delete messages so my inbox is empty, i never applied any updates prior to the reset, i assumed virgin did it all for me.
i have only installed a few tweaks but the main change is bsb tweaks, i'm now using the latest version where as i was using the prior version before the hard reset but this has only started happening about a week after i installed it.
rom version is 1.66.351.1 (76641) WWE
rom date 03/03/10
manilla version 2.5.19211619.0
OS version 5.2.21869
radio version 2.07.51.22_2
i want to use a custom rom or atleast update to newer one but how will i put it back to the stock rom? the phone has some locked items from virgin installed, they will know if those are not there.

No they won't. Just say you removed them by hand because they were of no purpose to you.
If you install a custom rom on your unbranded, unlocked (the phone virgin supplied you is exactly the same as what you would pay for standalone except for the software extras) Leo it will be easy to install a stock rom. just flash it and then remove HSPL3 in favour of the stock spl (1.42 i think).
Your manilla/sense version is actually very old. There are newer versions about (2015 and 2016) that have been developed for the TMOUS devices but as HTC neglect the UK we haven;t been given the officially yet but most of the new custom roms include them.
If you do stay stock try installing LeoCPUSpeed V4 and chainfire's 3D Driver Patch V2. They will improve the speed of the phone in general and you may find the typing lag goes away completely

[Q] HD2 Radio cause crashes?

Hi,
I'm looking for a little advice/guidance. I have flashed windows 7 on my HD2 thanks to the wonderful guides on these forums. It wasn't easy, but once i read through everything i think i got it right.
I flashed from a UK T-Mobile (stock) Radio Version: 2.05.51.05_2
Up to the lastest (?) version: 2.15.50.14
But at the moment i am getting constant crashes, lockups and the phone often fogets my settings like the date and time. I tried to flash back down to the stock version of the Radio which i downloaded from here, but the flash didn't take. It got to about 2% and then crashed. So i flashed back up to 2.15.50.14 (Thanks HSPL) but obviously i still have the same problem.
Could this be a problem with the radio or just the phone it's self? Should i work my way through all the radio's on the page to see if it stops the crashing or is it dangerous or a waste of time?
The phone will sometimes stick on the DFT screen and flash green occasionally. It requires a soft re-set to get working again. obviously when the phone crashes while in use, i must also do a soft re-set
I am downloading the stock windows 6.5 now to flash back in case i can't get it working.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
oh, i forgot. Can anyone confirm that this: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe is the stock rom for my original? I would hate to re-load the wrong one and brick it.
Original Software
OS Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
Rom Version 148.405.2 (71294) WWE
Rom Date 11/18/09
Radio Version
2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version 15.28.50.07U

I would consider:
Re downloading and flashing the radio again as, the Radio 2.15.50.14 works fine for me and others in the UK so unless its a poor download it should be OK
then if that fails, task 29 the phone, delete all partitions and reformat the sd card to primary partition fat 32 use the free version of EASEUS or similar and reload the stock rom, its available as a direct download from HTC as well as here

Thanks, I deleted it and put android on. I only had one problem it couldn't make calls! so i put the stock rom back on and even in wm6.5 the phone crashes when making a call. So i guess it's down to a hardware fault
I'm a bit annoyed i've only had the phone 1 day but i bought it second hand.

Just an update if anyone else has a similar issue.
I took it in to the repair shop and they said it was down to the screen so i'm getting it replaced. I'll edit my post when i get it back.
