Drat. Got to this one too late. Sorry
Anyways, the Atom does have the tendency to lose track of its own extended ROM (You can actually see this happening if you use the WM5 hidden storage revealer - which ironically happens to cause the problem sometimes as well).
Symptoms include:
- A phracking long boot time (>7 minutes, seems to hang)
- Screen goes out of alignment
- Camera, Autoconfig, Equalizer don't work.
- Hard reset doesn't help.
- EXTROM info is missing from device settings (shows as blank) - tho sometimes the device works without this anyhoo.
- CMOS version is also missing (the device definitely won't work in this case)
Probable cause:
- Someone or something just tried to write to your hidden storage root. (Eh?)
Far as I know there's no method to recover other than flashing your phone again. Just one of the design flaws of the Atom, I guess...
(Yes, I feel for you. I had to solve this myself too, and I didn't want to send it in. Thankfully, this isn't a common problem. )
I've just downloaded the latest Rom from seeo2.com hongkong and I had the very same problem.
My XDA Atom Exec is frozen at the O2 screen.
mun66, if you read this, could you explain how you fixed it?
thanks.

would you plz tell here which rom u used for this ????????
Well, my Atom Exec will do the same sometimes.
But the following method works everytime!!!
Take out the battery. Charge it with a charger until full !!!!
Put it back to the machine, it works every time !!!
Or you may try just charge it in the machine for a few hours and see if that works. Since I always have a spare battery charged, every time that dumb thing stuck, I just changed the battery and it waked up again.

You guys just need to go into bootloader mode before performing an upgrade. For the XDA Atom just press Power+Dpad(center)+stylus reset momentarily, and its now in bootloader mode. RUN again the Update program. If you still experience the same thing, the update file you downloaded might be corrupted. You have to download again and flash your device again.
Mine is still stucked in O2 though done all of the above ways,
got the new ROM and flash it, but still stuck in it.
PLS HELP ME GUYS!!!

You might want to send it in the the service centre for a check, just in case it's a hardware problem.. If you still face the same issue even without installing any software..
That's probably a good idea, but i'd like to try some tricks on many threads before.
And also I've heard that O2 service center are not cool

Do keep us posted..
I will face the same problem if i install too much programs.. I guess it's either Pocket Plus, Diary 2 which is causing my problem.. Now wondering if i should change to Atom Life, since they announce WM6... If only there's a perfect phone.
Thank God, it's working after 5x flashing but it still had bug.
I still have to take the battery off for at least 15 minutes if I try to reset the Atom.
Sure 1 thing for ATOM, IT SU**S!!!
i have a friend also has a trouble like this ,but he has solved the problem when he charged the exec. do not you have a try ?
I just picked up one of these to play with.
Mine gets by the O2 screen but if I have a few apps on it it loads the Today screen but then freezes and won't let me access anything either by hard key or screen. Soft reset just repeats the cycle.
This is with only around 4 apps loaded. One of them must be a culprit?
By the way, it came shipped with WM6.0 (ROM: WWE_RC2170507B2).
Does anybody have sms conversation cab? I simply cant find it anywhere...
Still cant find any cab?
You could find by searching with keywords:
Disable SMS Threading
The first cab in the following link disables also SMS Sent notification, so if you don't want to do that, you can use the other cab to enable it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2044965&postcount=22
But keep in mind that it will only work with WM6.1. The messaging app in earlier OSes doesn't support threaded (conversation style) SMS.

Oei, I think you have a problem there.... I can't think of a solution that will work after the damage is done. (All the Safe Mode utils I know have to be installed before the **** hits the fan).
Anyone..?

Hi all,
I have been following xda for a while now, but this is my first post. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to WinMo devices so apologies for sounding stupid.
I'm trying to upgrade a ROM on Atom Life and I'm unsure how to get the bootloader onto an SD card. I've searched for hours and have not found anything besides the wiki on xda, but as I'm not an experienced WinMo user, I need it in a little more detail.
It'd be very grateful if anyone could enlighten me!
Press Record + Reset, leave Reset first => ***MiniSD Detected*** => waiting 100%
Read here:

pls search before you open a new thread just for ask a simple question.
Thanks! I did have a good search around, tried the "record + reset" method but nothing happens, it just reboots. I'll give it another go and have another search around.
Thanks for your time.
Try this, my friend success with it:
Power+Record+Reset, and release reset first.

If it is not work, nothing will happend to your device, why did your device screen black? did you flash it with others ROM before?
I've manage to do it now. It takes a bit of finesse to get it right, but i got there in the end. Flashed a stable 6.1 ROM onto device and it's pretty good.
I'm getting a X1 soon this is only a device to start me off in the world of WM. Plus, it's my mates Atom, so I shouldn't really messing about with it. Lol!
Thanks for all the help!

I have moved from that rom a long time now....I would think you should too, but in anycase that is up to you. I would suggest you upgrade your radio though...saves power.

First problem
see this thread found with search function http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496566&highlight=format+microdrive
Second problem did you do a hard reset after flashing the rom?
HTC always try the broken motherboard line but it is not true.
The problem was you tried to flash an SPL 1.2 rom instead of a SPL 3.5 rom
This is called the endless loop problem
do a search, the answer has been given many times.
Oh and don't post the question 5 times, people get annoyed and wonder why you didn't try the search function
many thx for your replay

OK
sequence of events:
flashed AP4 and everything was working for 1 wk
Microdrive started playing up
Touch Screen started playing up
Flashing different roms did not change this behaviour
These things happened after using a new memory card.
An alternative explanation would be that you have damaged your hardware
Did you drop the phone ?

hello folks,
first off thanks to all the people who help make this forum better and better.
have used you're help a few times especially trying to flash a rom. but now there's a problem... I've installed artemis Rom a couple of times but I wanted the newest so I've downloaded it, flashed my hd2 with task29 like always. pressed vol. down button it restarted until white boot screen. ok, possible, so I reset it and press vol. down again. but still white boot screen. after trying it for 70(!) times. I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!
Info:
Cotulla hspl 1.42.00
Task29 by dooloop performed( got stuck after that)
Rom Artemis. 31.5 (current) 35.1 (wanted to install.
Thanks In Advance
Maajelvv
Two possibility's;
Tray to do a hard reset,
Ore tray to install Stock Rom!
tried hard reset. (pulled out battery waited 20 sec. then put it back in. pressed vol. down and power button.) didn't work for 30 times...
have put leoimg.nbh on sd card. but can't get to the tri-colour bootloader so can't install anything...
Thanks for you quick response by the way.
If I get into bootloader there should be no problem but I can't get there :S
I'm out off Idea; tray to send Sir Sternas a PM with your question, maybe he get some Ideas; ore tray to ask this question on the Artemis Thread, there are also helpful peoples out there!
Edit; I just add your question on the Artemis thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450678#post8450678
you haven't made hard reset. if you wont to do hard reset you have to press both volume buttons and then pres power buton ( or press red button near batery ).
also try to make a goldimage ( search the forum ).

As Luka1111 said, you haven't done a hard reset. Check this out:
http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/topic/8829-hd2-how-to-soft-reset-hard-reset-and-place-in-bootloader-mode/
Dmm;
That I didn't see/read it correctly the way he did a hard reset??
I think it is HSPL 1.42 or an old RADIO-ROM.
System specs for Artemis are SPL 1.66 or above and RADIO 2.07.51.22_2 or above.
Install newest Stock ROM with the mentioned versions or flash HSPL and RADIO manually.
Best regards
Uli
Sorry, have not read you can't access tricolor bootloader. Have you tried without SIM and SD? If not try to flash HSPL and RADIO without SIM and SD.

What´s the size of your SD-Card? Flashing from SD works only with max. 8 GB - Card, 16 GB or more won´t work! (Own experience!)
Can you connect your device to ActiveSync? Or otherwise stated: What happens when you connect your device to your PC? Does ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center even startup?
BTW, what happens when you start your device now? Does it hang or just load your old Artemis version??

Hi Uli,
the poor man cannot enter bootloader mode and, as I understand from his posts, not connect to his PC. So how can he flash HSPL and/or Radio? There must be something fundamentally wrong with his device, but I also had a similar problem a few weeks ago and, although it took a lot of time, I managed to get it to work again.
BTW, as I already mentioned SPL 1.42 is not the problem.

Hey Kuzibri, You are absoluteley right. I get no connection true active sync or anything. I'm pretty sure there's something really wrong here. never had this problem before. btw I've mistaken with
my spl version. it's the one Sir Sternas recommended. Spl 1.66 HSPL.
I'm Really confused right now. and Pissed off at the same time...
I mean I loved my HD2 with Artemis Rom close to beeing perfect.( installed Igo8 witch right before I went on holliday, stopped working but mannaged to get TomTom navi to work ) then suddenly my answer button stopped working. so I figured let's install a new Version of Artemis rom. I backed up all my files using microsoft my phone. then used task29. done. So I tried to get to the bootloader.... Nothing. tried attatching it to the pc and hoping it would start if I pressed the custom rom .exe (Read somewhere id might work) Nothing not even a blank screen for startup. now I've got nothing else I can think of. please, U guys have given me so much good suggestions.
Thank you all for your time and your efforts to help me solve this issue.

Hey guys,
maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?
If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.
Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.
Best regards,
Uli

Hi,

Hey Uli,
I've tried both. with and without sim or SD cards. still no functioning....
I've thought about the fact that it might be broken but it worked right before flashing....
thanks for your efforts though..

As I already mentioned, this poor guy has a major problem with his device, which seems to be hardware related (either volume down button does not work or the on/off key). After having extensive contact with him by phone, the only solution seems to be to bring it back to the store to let it repair. Unfortunately, he will have a great chance to loose his warranty, because HTC probably will be able to found that there is another ROM installed. Whish Maarten good luck with his problem!! Also very sorry I could not help you to solve your problem. I'm personally very disappointed by that!
