Hi all, i just got a Qtek 9090 with WM2003 (ITA). I upgraded to WM6.1, but now it has some strange problems: first of all, when it goes in standby, sometimes it doesn't wake up. If i have to reset it, most of times it doesn't boot (it shut down before WM loads) or i get R: None G: None and i have to reset again (otherwise the phone won't work).
The lock at the boot doesn't happen when the phone is connected at the USB port (i think that's because it charges, maybe it's a battery problem?)
Another thing is that i can't turn it off: if i hold pressed the power button, it deactivate the backlught but the device stays on, and if i make another long press, i get the backlight back again... I had this problem also with WM2003, maybe it's normal?
What do you think? Whan can i do?

Have you make a HardReset?
The correct HardReset, not only reset and press Power button!!!
See in my HowTo Section...
and why not WM6.5.5 see here
yep, hard reset is a good start, but about your other problems:
the device does not really turn off, like other phones. pressing the power button makes it go to hibernate, the display turns off, depending on your settings, it locks the hardware buttons and it shuts off wi-fi, it hardly uses any energy but gsm/gprs stay on.
the device seems to be off, yet the phone is one and you can be called. that is the closest you get to switching it off. when you turn on airplane mode, the battery consumption is even less so there is not really a need to turn it off.
pressing and holding the power button always was for the backlight. many other devices open up a shutdown menu when you do that, that would allow you to turn it off, soft reset, or switch off the backlight, but for the BA, that is not the standard. however, if i read it right, d-two is working on remapping the power button, probably for that cause.
the R: none G: none issue is known and not a problem with your phone, whenever you run out of power or remove the battery for a second, the next boot will be w/o radio (R and most roms don't allow booting without it. that's why you get stuck there and have to perform a soft reset. back in the days of wm2003 i used to remove the battery when the device froze to reset it w/o the stylus, because it didn't matter then. with cooked roms, it is different, just like the booting splash screen or the way to perform a hard reset, many things change on a cooked rom.
the issue with waking up from standby, or the SOD (standby of death) is an issue, that most likely has something to do with a backup, restored after flashing another os, or maybe you didn't perform a hard reset, as stated by d-two. you should do that, now that the device is still new, you have nothing to lose
also, read through the tutorials posted by d-two and myself, whether you missed anything while flashing.
The "real" hard reset is the one i can get by pressing camera + record button and reset? If so, i already did it after flash (i use d-two 6.1 Manila ROM in WWE)
It shows me 3 options, i put on YES "Clean Registry Hive" and "Format Storage" then i press the mail button, the screen become white for a while and the next boot al seems to be ok.
It seems, because after some time i get again the "standby of death" and, if i press the reset button, the most of time it won't boot up again (it turns off before i can get to WM), if it works phone doesn't. All these boot problem can be avoided by connecting the phone to the usb cradle, so maybe it's also a battery problem, i think...
@ d-two: i'll try your new ROM, however before i've tried your 6.1 ROM
I've already read your guide because i've got Windows 7 and i couldn't flash without your tutorial
NEWS: installed d-two new ROM, after flash i made the hard reset selecting the second and the third options, then i get the blank screen and, when viewing the htc screen, it shut down itself like it did before
As always, with the usb connected, it has no problem :\
It can be battery power - battery is old, and it doesn't provide current [A], or voltage drops [V] and phone think, it's empty.
Maybe you can try with new battery, or buy 2 nokia bl-4c batteries and repair orginal battery (somewhere on forum there is a tutorial about that - but use bl4c, not bl5c like in tutorial - bl5c are too thick to fit)

That's what i was thinking (and that's i hope it isn't)... Now with another recharge cycle it seems to be good also with cooked ROMs, i hope it's solved
Maybe you just have to charge/discharge it for 4-5 times, and it will restore it's capacity. Mine BA was turning off when battery indicator was showing ~60-70%, and now I'm waiting for new battery (i destroyed original )
"charge/discharge it for 4-5 times" does not have an effect on Li-ion kind of batteries. This is probably a software problem. When you turn your phone on (after removing a battery) it always shows "None" for R and G, so just press Reset button and it will be ok. I use Reset to power it on Then you can flash 6.5.5 which doesn't have problems, and do a hard reset. There should be no problem at all..
I also got the problem with the stock ROM :\
The R: None G: None error is the less important problem
Got any luck fixing it? I've had similar problems before, sometimes it turned itself off when the battery was at 60% in WM2003. Did you update to d-two's 6.5.5?
Yes, now i'm running d-two's 6.5.5 ROM.
No, i still had the problem Yesterday i called to the assistance service and they said me to remove the battery and after a while recharge it.
I put off the battery yesterday at 16 and i put it again in the phone this morning at 8, i charged it but i still have the problem
This evening i called again and they said me that i have to send it back, i'll flash the original ROM and send it on monday.
That's a shame, i really like this device, even if it's not mine, my sister uses it and she's not a pro user, what a waste
Didn't understand, what "assistance service"? This is very old phone, I just can't believe it has some kind of warranty
I have another battery, and using it the device turns it off sometimes while it's in the stand-by mode! Don't know why, the voltage on it is fine, I have measured it while working...

I bought it on an eBay market and it offered 60 days warranty. It's not official HTC/Qtek warranty, but it doesn't make difference, as long as the device will work
If for you it happens only when it's in standby, maybe you just have the standby of death, the problem Chef Tony was talking about at post 3?

I've had several Wizards with problems, the Wizard I've got right now has a problem that I've never seen before.
When I turn on the (SPV M3000) It shows the Orange bootscreen with this information:
IPL 2.18
SPL 2.18
GSM 01.04.10
OS 2.18.1.3
After seeing this bootscreen for about 20 seconds the SPV M3000 shut down itself.
Starting the phone from the bootloader doesn't make any difference.
When I use the buttons for a hard reset and press the send button, the phone shows Format is complete. After a few seconds it boots and show the bootscreen but than it also shut down itself.
Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware or a software issue ?
Cant say for sure.If the phone is still under warranty take it back for repairing.If it is not,hen you have screwed up anyway I mean if its not under warranty try upgrading the rom (flash it) to one of the many excellent roms available here..
It may be possible for a dead battery (or the battery failed to charge due to some reasons).

No the phone is not under warranty anymore. I bought if from someone becouse I thought it was just a simple problem. But how shouldI flash the rom if the phone shut itself down after 20 seconds ? This also happens when the phone is in bootloader mode.

I allready used a full charged battery from another Wizard but still the same problem.
Is there some else with another solution please ?
Not much help from me here, but from what it seems, since the phone also shut downs in bootloader mode, it would heavily suspect it is a hardware fault (as it is not the battery). As in bootloader mode, you either can get into it or not. Once you are in it, it will go into a listening mode and do nothing. As such, I cant think of a software problem that can mess it up that good. As for the 20 seconds shut down, chances are there are some (example) short circuit around the unit that, once you switch it on, things inside gets hot, and activating the problem.
You can also do some test. Try to use a accurate stop watch (to the mili seconds) to time the shut down (in bootloader mode) in different temperature environment (i.e. at night cold, in the sun warm, etc), and it should give you a slight different in the shutdown time. IF NOT, you can hope it is a software issue.
The battery works on other Wizard?
I'm still having this problem, does anyone knows a solution ?
I had similar problem but after several times it restarted it was unable to turn it on again. It`s not working anymore. I think the same, that this is a hardware issue. Maybe the water or humidity caused some short circuit and made some damage.
Hey guys,
I've had my Touch HD for about 5 months now, and I noticed last week that it seems to jump into a constant-reboot-loop every 2 or 3 days now.
The only way to solve it is to remove the battery for 5-10 minutes, put it back in and turn it on.
While the device is in this strange mode, it generally reboots *just* before the "Loading Windows" screen.
I believe I was running Miri's v16 or v17 when it first happened, and I'm currently using EnergyRom HD, which appears to have the same problem.
When it first started happening I flashed from Miri's rom to EnergyRom, and also did a hard reset, allowing Windows to reinitialise itself.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? I'm starting to get concerned that my incredibly expensive device is slowly becoming nothing more than a brick...
In this thread, Megawhopp had a slightly similar problem which was resolved by doing the following:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Put it in the bootloader
3. Re-flashed the custom rom
4. Immediately unplug USB cable and yank battery after 100% flash
5. Immediate hard reset via phone buttons
Try this and let us know how you get along!!
Thanks for the suggestion - I haven't tried it just yet, but honestly, I'm slightly skeptical
Also, I do all of my flashing via the SD card (BLACIMG.nbh), as I find it much more reliable than the USB connection method.

No probs, your call. Let me know anyhow if you get it sorted or not
Well, as I run Linux I've no choice but to do it the SD card way anyway, but I'll try the same test using the SD card method and see how it goes.
Thanks for the help, I'll let you know
Right well I carried out the steps using the SD card flashing method when the rebooting issue kicked in yesterday evening.
It took 3 attempts, but it seems to have sorted itself out again.
I've no idea if it's the steps that solved the problem, or just the luck of the draw though...
I had same problem, and I'm using default ROM without any 3rd party programs...
Just take battery out for 5minutes
then put it back, pressing the red reset button and then while pressing the red reset button press the power button release both and the phone will start and will work perfectly...

Firstly, it's a "problem", not a "pb". You have a full keyboard in front of you, so why not use it?
Secondly, it's slightly worrying me now that this is happening for you on a *stock* ROM. I really hope this isn't a hardware issue, or I'll be in for a whole world of hurt

I had the same problem, I found when I had 3G shut off and I had no or low signal it would go into a constant reboot. I turned 3G back on and never had the problem again.
Give that a try, no need to hard reset.
Alter flash to HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O4 my phone often automatically reset,
even I try another version, it same

My first guess would be your batteries are already weak. Try using a newer battery.
I´ve got nearly the same problem, but when my magician is off (sleep) too long it wont wake to WinMo. The only way to make it boot was holding pwr button for few seconds what made it hard reset... But when i formatted my battery 2 times, then used batclear just to be sure, it works like new!
Ps. My battery is AwFuL. It even does not have the front lid!
first is ur battery or your backup battery only,otherwise your phone is completely corrupted..........
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.

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.
Hi all, i've just bought a new htc hd2 from vodafone and i was amazed by every aspect of the terminal but the battery time. I had initialy the RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship ROM and i thought that i should change it to a more optimized and newer version but that didn't happen with the new ROM : Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.21905.5.0.93_2.13_Radio_2.11.50.20_HG_V3.8 - still horrible battery time
I even tried some other optimization and tweaking tools : Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab & BsB Tweaks 1.6.cab with no visible results.
After a full charge leaving the phone in standby with only phone link + data link over HSDPA (no music listening, no web browsing and the weather, stocks at the max sync time available) i can get a max of 8h standby time which is plain horrible.
I have tried different combinations of things nothing worked.
I have just deleted all links from windows/startup after a new full charge and turned off all radio operations. After 15-30 minutes of standby the terminal is already at 93%.
So i think i have a problem. Is it a bad battery ? If not what could be eating up so fast the battery even in "flight mode" with all radio turned off ?
Did you guys ever encouter such a thing ?
What should i do ?
another weird thing : i did install a hspl in order to put in the new rom but i did it directly from a working environment cause i cannot seem to be able to either hard reset (vol up + vol dn + power) or enter bios (vol dn+power).
i saw another guy on another thread with the same issue.
i will not tempt fate and reflash it although i did it 4 times already with different roms.
is that even possible ?
how can i fix it ?
PS : although i am new to htc hd2 ... i still have and rommed like a 1000 times an old mio a701 so i consider myself knowledgeable.
update : after 90 minutes of plain standby with all radio off i am at 85% charge - so i am officially worried and need your advice on this !!!
Just a suggestion concerning the hardreset/bootloader: Did you really hold the Vol.Buttons until the tri-coloured screen appeared or did you release them before?
i had the buttons pressed all the time no tri color hspl screen , just the plain htc white screen normal boot. even tried it after a shutdown and reinsertion of the battery to be sure. same result:
normal boot : no hard reset or enter bios/hspl/tri color screen (which i can only see if i install a new rom using usb within the working OS, force reboot and enter hspl from the custom rom install program)
Did you use HSPL2 (recommended) and chose HSPL 2.08 or the normal/old one? Did you already try to install HSPL again?
i have installed the original hspl only once. no hspl2.

Then try HSPL2 instead. Its more secure, you can choose the version and easily return to stock SPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
DONT USE IT IF YOU HAVE A USA TMOB HD2 (But as i saw in your 1st post you dont have a 102MB Leo, right?)!!!
yes you are correct it is not a 1024 mb version.
i've just installed hspl 2.08 but before that i checked again the battery status : after 3 standby hours with all radio off the battery is at 70%.
just tried entering hspl : same result : it will not work by using hardware keys. it only works if it is initiated by usb via pc with a installer that tells the device to enter hspl. i am attaching a capture to confirm.

Hmm only thing i can imagine is a defective hardware. Do your Volume buttons (especially Vol.Down) work properly when using the device...?
the volume hardware keys are working just fine for volume operations.
can this be some kind of vodafone thing ? Although i bought it from them
it isn't locked or with a vodafone logo on it.

No it has definately nothing to do with VF. To more suggestions. Try the following:
Take out the battery for at least one or two minutes, take out the storage card, insert battery and try HR again.
In the past i made two mistakes because of which a HR didnt work:
1. i HELD the powerbutton instead of tapping it (but u can also try holding it, maybe its different on your device... saw p.ex. starbase 64 doing this on youtube)
2. i didnt press the two volume keys hard enough and released them too early ( i know i already mentioned that but just to be sure )
tried it both with tapping and holding down power button (while holding down volume down button) without the 8gb storage card in it ... no effect whatsoever...the first thing it does is vibrates and starts up normally with the white htc boot screen.
and of course the same is with the hardware reset .... i am wishing that i never bought this phone ... let's say that the hardware reset of hspl issue isn't that pressing ... but the battery issue is actually making me think of throwing it down the toilet ... but i'll refrain for after i get and test a new original battery.
Witht the 2.11.50.20 radio my hd2 with standard battery is using less than 1% of the battery per hour in standby mode. In full usage, with the wifi on and the cpu being hammaered it's 3% per hour at the most. I have fully discharged my battery several times when it was new. so you may want to let the battery run a dead a few times in a row or mebbe replace the battery.
A hard reset took me two atempts the first time. Holding both volume buttons down just right is a little tricky. So i seriously doubt that the phone is defective or vodafone have modified it (vodafone actually have a policy of not making any modifications to the devices themselves) but i think it is a small case of user error

LOL sure !!! What do you have? A nuclear-battery? A car battery? 33Hours of full usage? No way!!! People in this forum are talking about max 6-7 hours WiFi surfing or 4-5 hours of movies (both far away from using 100% backlight --> 40% or similar) and you tell us you can use your phone for 33 hours? Do me a favour, dont make users who already feel uncomfortable with their phone even more uncomfortable. That confuses users and is just not true.

Calm down!!! I was talking about a combined cycle and i turn things like the wifi off when i'm not using them and it's not like i have the time to spend 6 hours straight using the wifi. I always put the phone into standby when i'm not using it and never put it on charge untill the battery get's below 5% full. I also never use bluetooth. I have no need for it.
These are all tips that allow a very long cycle between charges. If users are uncomfortable with their devices then they have 2 choices. Get something else or do what i do and treat it with a massive amount of respect. They can also try updating they radio firmware from 2.06, 2.07 or 2.08 and use 2.11.50.20 because in standby it barely uses any power at all. I'm also using a 3.01 based rom which also seems to help lower battery consumption.
