Hello Guys.
After crashing my last XDA the "new" one arrived on Friday.
Used the home cooked 3.17. ROM VErsion and all looks fine.
After the restore from SD-Card all Application are their, just have to register new Tomtom.
But today I´ve done a soft reset to enter the bootloader. Works fine. Nothing done in the bootloader and started the device new.
All data are missing. PocketPC Theme is far far away, no Owner Information, activesync needs to be configured new, have to install all software new or restore the backup.....
Just liike after a hard reset.
What is wrong ?
Cheers
Stefan
it is not bug, it is a feature I do the same thing last monday
If you enter the bootloader on 4.x, this always happens (at least to me...)

You say restore from SD card backup, was that backup from ROM older than 3.17? If so thats what caused your problem. You can't restore from a backup of a different ROM you have to re-install all of your software.

Hi everybody,
here's my problem , thanks to anyone who would be able to help me.
I got the Qtek2020 a week ago, with an O2 uk rom (1.60). Everything was working ok.
3 days ago : i upgraded to the new O2 v1.72.187 uk ROM, i uninstalled the actveui application from O2 and put my settings for my cell network for the gprs & mms (proximus, belgium).
Yesterday, as i was in the middle of "champs elysees" in need to call a friend, my xdaII didn't seem to respond to anything, i tried to close it and open it but it wouldn't react to that button either... so i did a SOFT reset... and what a bad suprise had i when i saw it did a HARD reset !! :S (30 mins later, my friend call me so i had her number).
So yesterday night, back in belgium, i decided to put the French ROM for belgium avalaible Here. i followed the instruction for the country code problem avalaible Here.
I then installed lal my software ( included TTN3 with CheckPOI). and did an activesync backup before going to sleep at 4am.
This late morning (after using xdaII a little for calls and sms) : i pushed the power button to open the screen... no reaction...clicked again several times... yet no response... so i thought about yesterday at the champs elysees... maybe if i do a soft reset now, it will think i'm doing a hard reset becaue i clicked the power button first ... so i just removed the battery for exactly 2 seconds, and here come the screen powering up again BUT..... it was HARD RESETTED !!! :shock:
Ok...weird xdaII !!
no matter.. i have my last night back up... phew !! i won't have tosetup everything and installed everything again.......... I WISH
when i put the xdaII in the craddle, it asks me for a new name to give to it (not yet used)....Ok, done.
Now lets restore my backup...
i went to my last night backup's folder to copy the backup.stg file to the new folder. And then click to restore...
UNABLE.... it says it was done from a different device... (HUH !?!?today's ROM is same as last night's backup ROM !?!? What s wrong !?).
If anyone could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me... i begin to be disapointed by this wonderful device
Best Regards,
Have a good day.
Mike
i have had the same problem, regional settings in system settings has to be the same as in the backup.
Thanks, restoring backup is working now
but some files can't be copy because they are being used... despite the fact that i only activesync is open... is there a way copy them anyway ???

Did you try to Hard Reset? (I think no)
Press and Hold Camera + Commanager botton and then press Soft reset botton
After that , It will become black screen with some white text , Then press Call botton.
In after few seconds you Prophet will come to life again.
PS. Hard reset may erase all of your data in phone memory.

First off all, I feel sorry for you that your device stopped working the way it should, I mean that. But I wonder why you start this thread claiming the some ROM has killed your Prophet and then tell us that fooled around quite a bit with all kind of unrelated software and flashing.
Did you tried to find out what really causes your trouble? Did you reflash and installed the 3d party software one by one to isolate the one that to blame?
For what it's worth, I'v red about problems with SPB Diary somewhere in one of the treads. As I don't use it myselve I don't recall any details.
Of course!
Even if Hard Reset is not work , You can still flash your phone to Other rom such as PDAVIET , gollum Touch rom or WM5 official rom.
One thing you must check is just what version of the rom (G3 or G4).
ps. I use radio rom 2.69 for a while with no problem. Now I use 2.61 because it use less battery than 2.69 and have more stable on phone signal.(with my operator , True in Thailand)

Just a hunge... did you reset while connected to USB (Active Sync)? That is known to be a problem whit all the WM6 ROM's. It seems that all that helps is an proper HR. And as I added to my previous remark, SPB Diary seems to be a troublemaker too, when used with the new WM6 ROM's, but as I don't use it, I'am not familar with the details.

It is random , it means a little time, after soft reset or after power off device my Jamin load correctly and in more times it hang and stop in Blue page !!
It is very wonderful !!
I am now Hard resetting my device
It is too hard for me to hard resetting my device because all program that i installed are deleted
I don't use backup software because I belleave if a problem is in my device in backup file is come too.
Hello,
If you want to use your phone and not mess around with it , just stop upgrading ,downgrading!! I really mean it. yes of course a hard reset will delete all your files and programs but if you want to care about these stuff , you really have to consider to stop messing with your device. I think if one day your prophet die, you are the person responsible not any ROM.
Just read the wiki / forum, use the search button and you will find what is good for your device, and what's gonna kill your device
about SPB Diary, I've been using this program since i bought my prophet, and i've had no problem with it so far. if you read the forum you will know that after upgrading or downgrading your radio rom you MUST perform a hard reset.
good luck my friend.
I am sorry to hear that.
节哀顺变吧！如果你来广东，我帮你修。可惜你是外国的。
I have the same problem, but my prophet not kiled!!! I'm sure is problem in some programs. I remove the battery and sim card. Wait some time, and back. After that prophet boot normal, but everytime when I power off (and sometimes after softreset) i have to do that. Somtimes help just softreset. I have same problem (not always) with PDAVIET and Gullum rom after installing 3d party software.
Sorry for my english.
I'm realy sad to hear about your problem with the phone but to say that it's the rom is a bit to much although some thing in the rom might give problems it's know that the 6 button homeplug is causing frezz on some devises.... but I have not expirienced any frezz on startup myself... and I have used TNT and all gullum roms .... so maybe the problem is related to IPL/SPL or radio rom not shure or even 3dr party software.. if it's not IPL/SPL or radio rom it must be 3dr party software because I have not installed any of them except for PocketCM by tena

Which programs did you installed?
after 6-7 programs i installed my prophet hang in blue screen page !
I try to load windows after reset my device about 10 times with its pen, and uninstall new program i installed :Resco photo Viewr 6.33 professional edition,SMS group,Sprite mobile...but the problem not solved...and i hard reset my device again
if the problem occur in your device too because of these programs (such as sprite mobile (for prevention of stealing and thief mobile) then we can say the problem is because of this program (sprite mobile-but i know this program is compatible with WM6 ) .
If not it is a bug in TNT ROM that can't install more programs.
or we can say Soft reseting is limited in this ROM for example if soft reset is more that 30 times the windows not loaded !!!
I don't know, but it is a bug in this ROM !! so if this bug is in other W6 ROMs I come back to Aserg AKU 3.13

Dear Gullum
we know that PPC is good for world of different program can be installed in these devices. and we know the programs in the ROM is not sufficient so we installed needed programs.
I know TNT 4 is full of application that non of the other ROMs don't have them.
I try to check some programs I installed in Prophet (TNT-4 -jamin)
the Sprite Mobile program work well, not any other program i installed, only Sprite Mobile...The device work well.
So it is a bug in ROM that can't initializing more program installed then windows not loaded !
if a ROM has this Bug we can't use it !!
we should check all WM6 ROMs and installed more that 10 famous Programs and soft reset every time we install a program.
So which WM6 ROM do u offer to install in our devices to work stable and correctly without this Huge bug that can't install programs !! ?
Thanks for your guidance.
The problem not solved
I installed some programs in my device (Jamin) but this problem appeare after installation, I installed one by one and accure for new problem but after softrest this problem appeare again
GULLUMN plz install some program in ur new ROM if work then put it in public.
only cube & touch version of ROM is not sufficient, we should can install programs on our ROM for more usage !
any body can help?

your devise is wholesome!!!
excuse me
my english is bad
I think i understand ur problem and yes its the rom to blame after flashing a next rom I did not have this problem well the solution was when u install any programs to your storage card remove the .ink files from Windows/Programs folder of all applications thats installed on the SD card and from startup folder after doing that it works well but as soon as I installed a program or tryed to make a shortcut it gives problems I suggest that you ether flash a next rom and problem salved or get a rom cook to edit the rom and fix it up to remove this bug hope it helps you can try it u got nothing to lose
After flashing to the new DCD 2.2.1 WM6.1 rom I can no longer activesync. Do I need to install a newer Activesync? If so, will I lose my data?
Otherwise I love this rom! Very snappy, and threaded MMS is tight.
thanks
Have you tried a soft reset? Or a hard reset? After flashing I couldn't ActiveSync, but a simple soft reset fixed it. No clue if that'll help you, or if you've already tried it, but if not I'd give it a shot.
No one else has run into this problem?
Every time I connect my USB cables my cpu just seems to freeze, then once unplugged it returns to normal.
Yea, I tried a soft reset already. Don't feel like I need to do a hard reset.

I always do a hard reset right after installing a new rom. I highly recommend you do the same. Hard reset after the OS boots for the first time, don't customize anything yet (obviously).
Ok, so I had the "Enchanced advanced network funtionality" option turned on in the Systems tab. It used to be in the connections tab so as I was looking to resolve this issue I had forgotten about unchecking it.
Thanks guys, my bad
SO i successfully loaded radio 3.27 and dcd 2.2.1_bell. But Everytime my phone boots up, i would get to the today screen and 5-10 seconds later it would just shut down and then boot back up. My unit would only stay on if I have it connected to my PC. Anyone ran into this problem? Using windows Vista and have hard reset my cell numerous times. But I load back the default ROM everything works fine.

Hello,
I followed the newbie tutorial on flashing WM6 ROM to my G4 Wizard. After a few tries, it seems everything went well. But now the phone seems to be bugging out. I upgraded to NBD 9.2 from the OEM WM5 ROM.
First off, I lost all my information/history such as contacts, texts, calls, etc. How do I restore these?
Alternatively, is there a way to go back to the original WM5? Do I need to remove HardSPL? I thought that was only when you were sending it back for service so they can't detect you did anything to your phone.
I am not getting any phone service at all. It won't bring up the keypad to dial either. The internet seems fine however.
Right after flashing, I think there was a program called PIM Restore, but now it seems to be missing.
I have soft reset it since the flash, but nothing. I don't want to hard reset for fear of losing all my data, even though it appears none of it is there since the flash.

First, flashing a new rom will remove all the files on the phone including your personal data/contacts/mssgs etc etc,they all are lost,you shud have first backed them up,now there's no way to restore them back,yes ! PIMbackup is the application with which you shud have backed up all your data to your pc.
Perhaps,its a bad flash thats why its bugging out,either reflash or try any other latest custom build wm6 or wm6.1,hope you'll get a much faster response and wonderful experience.
Well,as you say,all the data is already lost,there's no harm in doing Hard Reset,it might get it working correctly.Hard Reset is what I recommend otherwise,reflash.
You can download the PIMbackup software from the forum and install it anytime and backup your data.
Well,if you want to revert back to original wm5,you'll have to first remove HardSPL,only than you can revert back,otherwise you'll Brick the phone.

OK, UPDATE:
So last night I turned the phone off and turned it back on and now the phone works (as in makes & receives calls). It's still twitchy, but everything seems to work except the Contacts & PocketCM. When you try to use them, it looks like it's trying to open, but then closes.
As far as the backup, I had a feeling I was in for that but wasn't sure. Maybe we should have a warning in the newbie tutorial that tells everyone: ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! BACK UP ALL THINGS PRECIOUS TO YOU! I read somewhere that to save your contacts, you just copy your PIM file to storage and paste it back after flashing. I did do that, however it doesn't seem to work. It didn't cross my mind to copy the contacts through Outlook. I didn't have PIMbackup before flashing, but the ROM included it, but now it seems to be missing altogether.
Here's the weird thing though. So all data is supposed to be lost after flashing right? Well after my phone decided to start working again, I checked call history & all my old calls are still there, with names & everything. Is this supposed to be right? All the new calls however don't have names & I can't add them because I can't access Contacts. If all data is to be lost, shouldn't the call history be gone, too? This makes me wonder if all my data is really lost or if it is somehow recoverable on the phone.
How do I reflash? Just do the entire process over again? Do I just reflash over, or should I remove something first (sorry newbie question)? Is there a way to revert to WM5 without removing HardSPL?
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S III, amazing phone, but I fear I had a problem, on the first start, during the setup wizard, I skipped a passage and I wasn't unable to go back and see what was, so I (stupidly) made a factory reset to redo the setup wizard, more slowly, but I had two problems then: Play Store process force closed while updating apps, and Facebook widget doesn't work fine sometimes, it doesn't load posts and cannot open app from the widget, it's such as blocked. So I fear that factory reset was a stupid move, and could have caused this two problems, or it doesn't matter and those problems are indipendent of the reset? I have to say that I haven't got other problems and other apps/components seem to work very well and when I reopened the Play Store no more problems until now, maybe was the system updating the play store and closed it? Sorry but I am really nervous, I love that phone and don't want problems
Factory reset won't cause problem, other than losing data/settings.
Factory Reset = restore phone to out of the box in your case .

Yeah I know, but I did it in the recovery xD and I worried about it, (I was usual with my old SGS to do it in the recovery when installing a custom ROM)
Thank you for the answer, I needed a conferm, and of course, a relief.
You can reload the rom using kies or you can update to jellybean. This should fix your issue.
