Hi All
Newbie to these forums, been reading around a lot recently since getting my xda2, particularly since it started playing up. Ive heard a lot about particular ROMS causing trouble and im not really sure whats happening to mine.
Before i start:
1.6.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181
Its freezing all the , soft reset being the only cure. Most of the time its upon device turn on, while typing in the pin, but it can happen anytime. The memory card has been blanked more than once, sometimes reporting that its full, sometimes empty. This morning i was taking a quick snap with the camera and upon closing the camera app it hung. Turned off and on and the thing wiped right before my eyes. Nooooo. Hadnt gotten around to backing up yet
My question is could this be to do with the software i have installed or does it sound more like a fault? I will try running it for a few days now with no extra apps installed but in the meantime, any thoughts folks?
Cheers
did you do some soft of restore of the settings and programs from the older rom ?
if so then it could very well be that causing issues
often backup and restore dont like restoring on a different rom then the one which the backup was taken from
The phone came shipped with that ROM, havent touched anything so far, just installed software from fresh. Anyone else had these kind of troubles?
Yes, I used to have the same problems you describe... And I was under the same ROM version than you!
In my case, my MDA2 worked perfectly for about 4 months when all of a sudden it started acting up.
I did test the machine in factory defaults (no third party applications installed) but sooner than later it hung up several times, and sometimes only a hard reset would make it normal again just to fail again in the next hour or so.
So, out of desperation I decided to install 1.72 ROM Upgrade and voila!, several months now with no problems what-so-ever!!!!
Here's my new Dev. Info:
ROM Version: 1.72.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.12.00
Protocol Version: 1337.21
ExtROM Version: 1.72.104
I even installed the latest SBP Pocket Plus and it's been working just great!
No hang ups, no freezes, no hard-resets...
Best regards,
Rayan
Marvellous!
Being rather new to this game, can i ask what and maybe how i upgrade the ROM? Also, does it matter, the fact that i have an XDA2 rather than an MDA2? What will this change?

I've recently tried a couple of WM6.1 roms on my 838pro (Pays 3.05 full and RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10") and they both work for a while, but after some time (twice in the middle of an installation, but not always) most of my shortcuts stop working, and if I soft reset the device won't boot (doesn't reach windows loading).
Is anyone aware of this happening before, and any way to fix it?
Thank you!
I upgraded to 6.1 and it worked fine, but after a few hours while installing a game it basically did what you described.
Now it won't boot into the OS, what did you do to get an OS workin again?
I figured out how to reinstall WM6.1, I tried another release and it did the same thing. It's weird it works fine until you sync it with a pc and start transfering things, both times it was after transfering from my xp desktop but my Vista Laptop seems to not cause this corruption, i'll keep testing
Have the same problem with a large number of 6.1 OSes. Found yo can sync with your computer BUT only leave it for as long as you'"re doing stuff then disconnct. this seems to stop it stuffing up my phone as the ONLY thing you can do once the OS dies is reload the OS with another flash( had an error message come up saying that a program wsnt signed with a proper cert or some such and it automatically goes back to factory reset). Since only syncing when I need to it seems to not have problems. Just means I need another power point to recharge my hermes. Cheers.
I had the same problem until I loaded CRC's 6.1 V8. I have been running it for about a week with no problems at all. Be sure to delete all devices in Activesync before you connect to use Activesync.

Yeah, that's the only one that's kept working for me so far!
i do suggest that you guys do a check for bad blocks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
although i have heard that a rom flash *might* be able to fix bad blocks, dont take my word on that though
with the bad blocks, if you do have it, wouldn't it not matter if you are running wm5, wm6 or wm6.1? they would all crash, mess up eventually?
I will try checking mine for bad blocks, but I didn't have any problems with wm5, upgraded to wm6.1 PAYS, had constant freezes, crashes, hard resets, etc...this was after I installed programs. If I didn't install anything, it would be ok. Although it's not like installed crazy programs, the usual google maps, today agenda, etc... maybe three or four programs.
Now downgraded to wm6, installed more things, no problems. (knock on wood)
it could be possible that you just had a bad flash with the 6.1 rom. or it could be just possible that one of your apps did not agree too well with 6.1. happened to me too, i somehow forgot that i had wm6.1 and installed an app that was not compatible with 6.1
Hey everyone,
My hermes (which i replaced due to this and got a new one, same prob. so i guess its not a hardware thing) is dying on me after a day or two of usage.
it works fine after a HR, then somewhere within the following 24-48 hours it starts accumilating bugs (start menu wont open, htc home tabs going weird, programs folder is nowhere to be found and all kinds of weird stuff).
resetting the device (soft) always hangs at the same point - splash screen just after showing the rom version numbers.
i've tried to find bad blocks using mtty and it says my device is mint - no bad blocks whatsoever...
im on hardspl 1.30 i think, sim free and cid unlocked, tried several roms and several radios that have worked for me before (on my older device).
any ideads?
do hard reset then put the apps you like on one at a time. if there is a conflict somewhere it will show up soon after the problem app is installed. might be a couple of apps so it may take awhile to work out what one(s)..... cheers
This sounds like the problem that is cropping up lately after installing a 6.1 ROM. It is fixable by first installing an official (the official Dopod ROM is a popular favorite) ROM and then installing your ROM of choice. Current wisdom is that it has something to do with superstorage. Anyway, flash an official ROM first and see if that fixes it.
I got DCD 3.2.6 radio 3.42.50, Sprint HTC 6800...
with this rom installed whenever I try to beam or bt a file or pic, my device freezes, I had the same problem with dcd 3.2.5, does anyone know how to solve this issue.
I treyd cooking the rom a few times but no luck.
Interesting thing that it happens like 10 - 15 minutes after hard reset.
Good luck getting help with that

Good luck. I've posted twice that my BT is totally dysfunctional (does not turn on at all) with the recent dcd roms and haven't gotten any useful response. I'm just waiting for a modified version of the official release to come out. It was suggested that I have a problem with BT drivers.. ?? Whatever that means for me... Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into these roms.
I have flashed a lot of roms lately, ROMeOS - all flavours DSC, SWTOS, and serveral reconstructed roms for testing. But today my phone started to behave very strange - strange crashes. Could flash a rom and it wouldn´t boot while it the same rom worked before. And with just the rom and no 3rd part application suddenly I can´t press the Programs or setting - nothing happens. And then the phone reboots and make an hard reset. I feels like the flash memory in the phone is defect. Could I verify that in someway ? I have reflashed Hard SPL and restored SPL to the default and reflashed stock rom but nothing seems to help - it crashed randomly with nothing installed
Yes, my TP died and has gone to HTC heaven Three weeks old and now I have to wait two weeks to get it fixed. So I have to use my Diamond, damn - I really like the TP much more
Hi all,
first from all, take my apologies for my english.
Now back to topic, I have a serious problem with my leo (T8585). It was started to freeze from a few weeks, after I changed ROM, but allways i was able to restet it. And now it froze for good. The screen is black and any buttons are not lighting. At the begining when i have removed battery and put it back, i could feel vibration at start but the screen didn't turn on. After several attemps I was able to run the device. And then, when i have tried downgrade radio from 2.15.50.14 to 2.14.50.04, it has showed me a error at the begin of process (0% of progress). I restarted device, but now I don't feel even vibration at start.
What can I do with this? Any ideas? Please, help me

What ROM did you flash? Maybe it is caused by a bug in the ROM..
Try another different ROM.
I test almost all ROM here, and Radio 2.15 is the best radio so far.
BTW, you need HSPL to flash a Radio or if you dont have HSPL installed, you have to flash the full stock rom.
Cheers
