Calling all users who had windows boot screen freeze bug!
I personally am getting this bug. It's preventing me from using PDAViet's rom which I love. I need to know the following to help track down the cause:
0) What version of ROM were you using?
1) Applications installed when it happened
2) Radio ROM version (2.19.21, 2.47.21, etc...)
3) Device model (dopod 818, imate etc...)
4) Device version (G3 or G4)
5) How long it was since last hard reset (1 day,6 hours, etc..)
6) Approx how many soft resets you already made (1-5, 5-10 10-15, etc...)
7) Approx how many shutdowns you already made (holding power button for 4+ seconds)
8) any other significant info you think will help:
9) Do you have the HTC Homeplug today plugin enabled?
10) have you populated your PIM apps via pimbackup or via activesync?
11) Do you have the "HTC_default" today theme enabled?
Edit3: Another possible cause is the "htc_default" black theme. Please report if you had this theme enabled when the boot freeze is encountered. Added question 11.
Edit2: Tracked down a very possible cause for this bug/issue. the new 6 button HTC Homeplug (today screen plugin) seems to be the problem. After disabling the homeplug, users have reported no more boot screen freezes. Read this thread for more information
Edit: Added question 9 & 10
If you've posted, please edit your post to answer new questions. THANKS!!!
0) What version of ROM were you using?
- started happening with PDAViet 40005a Cross
- reproduced on PDAViet 40006 Touch
- As far as I tried, never happened with PDAViet 40005 cross (first edition)
1) Applications installed when it happened
- Resco Explorer
- HTC Phone Pad
- Calligrapher
- Memmaid
- Batterystatus
2) Radio ROM version (2.19.21, 2.47.21, etc...)
- tried v2.19.21, 2.47.21, 2.61.21, and 2.69.21
3) Device model (dopod 818, imate etc...)
Dopod 818pro
4) Device version (G3 or G4)
G3
5) How long it was since last hard reset (1 day,6 hours, etc..)
- sometimes a few days,
- sometimes within a few hours of flashing
6) Approx how many soft resets you already made (1-5, 5-10 10-15, etc...)
- 5-10
7) Approx how many shutdowns you already made (holding power button for 4+ seconds)
- 5-10
8) any other significant info you think will help:
- Someone mentioned it could be related to the IE temp files/cache being set to storage card. But I don't think so because PDAViet had IE temp directories on storage card earlier than 40005cross.
9) Do you have the HTC Homeplug today plugin enabled?
- Yes, HTC homeplug was enabled
10) have you populated your PIM apps via pimbackup or via activesync?
- I think *most* (but not all) crashes occured after i activesynced with outlook
0) What version of ROM were you using?
- I got it with PDAViet 40005a Cross
- still have it with PDAViet 40006 Touch
1) Applications installed when it happened
- Resco file explorer V6.00
- Resco photo viewer pro V6.31
- SPB Backup V1.6.1
- Flexwallet rev5 build570
- Tube 2
- Igo 2006 plus
- HiCalc V1.8
- HButton V1.8.1
- Slide2Unlock V1.184
- HappyTappingKeyboard
- BatteryStatus V1.04.203 beta
2) Radio ROM version (2.19.21, 2.47.21, etc...)
- 2.47.21
3) Device model (dopod 818, imate etc...)
- Qtek S200
4) Device version (G3 or G4)
- G3
5) How long it was since last hard reset (1 day,6 hours, etc..)
- 12 hours
6) Approx how many soft resets you already made (1-5, 5-10 10-15, etc...)
- 1-5
7) Approx how many shutdowns you already made (holding power button for 4+ seconds)
- 0
8) any other significant info you think will help:
- I noticed that when I do a backup by SPB backup, I got the following error log :
unable to read from \Windows\History.IE5\index.dat
unable to read from \Windows\Cookies\index.dat
unable to read from \Windows\Temporary InternetFiles\Content.IE5\index.dat
In fact these files are moved to the SD directly by the PDAViet rom.
But after moving back these path on the device (by SkTools), the error log is not there anymore, but the freeze can happen anyway.
So it may be caused from something else.
PS : on earlier versions than the 4.0.0.5a cross, there wasn't any error log with SPB backup.
9) Do you have the HTC Homeplug today plugin enabled?
- Yes
10) have you populated your PIM apps via pimbackup or via activesync?
- via pimbackup
ok I had freze one in one of my beta roms and at that time I was using the WiFiInit.exe from PDAVIET and I also found that when I was using their WiFiInit in startup folder the phone would stop at welcomehead.96.png screen with battery and wifi lights blinking so that might be the problem ? I'm now using an other WiFiInit.exe for my rom
The freeze I'm getting does not have LED's blinking. but the question about the Wifiinit is very interesting.
Can someone (maybe Cloudyfa???) confirm whether or not wifiinit changed from PDAViet 40005 to PDAViet 40005a + higher?
The WiFiInit.exe on 40006 Touch is 7120 bytes.

GOOD NEWS!!!! or actually maybe bad new...
I think i am able to reproduce the boot screen freeze!!!
I have 40006 installed and have softreset and powered down 10+ times. Installed random apps, and reset with wifi/bt/vibrate on and off, and nothign works.
*finally* I decide to sync the phone to my outlook. It syncs up, no probs,
I unplug the USB cable, and hit the reset button again (wifi, bt, and vibrate were still on) and BAM. i'm stuck on the windows mobile screen again.
So perhaps there is an issue with the memory. my outlook calendar isn't that big and neither is my contact list. Maybe something critical in the ROM is getting overwritten?
going to try again now
Hi,
Actually I have this problem several times (>5), but everytime involves an activesync at the very begining with synchronize to my outlook. My outlook do have around 200 contacts, but after the synchronization, not each time i got this problem immediately, sometimes, after sync for so many times, install so many apps, and one time, after a reboot, just stucked...
It happened to me once and I then attributed it to installing sipchange. This was very shortly after installing 4.0.0.6.touch.
After that I flashed my phone again, first with NVID and then with 4.0.0.6.touch and it hasn't happened yet.
radio 2.47.21 on a Qtek S200 G3
I've only got HTC Dark Phone Pad, PocketCM and PHM regedit installed.
I do not sync with outlook, but I do use DirectPush. If I connect to my pc, I use Bluetooth, not the USB cable.
Only problem I have so far is that I can't dump the memory contents to an SD card Something about not having enough permissions
edit: I've got the homeplug active.
3 times happened when soft reset after charging my handset(818pro) to 100% power by PC USB port.
It may be caused by long time USB connection with PC.
I suspected the USB charging as well, but I've soft reset with the USb plugged in, reset after shortly pulling the usb plug out, reset after syncing, reset after unplugging and syncing...
It's very hard to reproduce.. The most reliable way to reproduce the freeze is to pull the USB cable out, wait a few seconds, (the orange charge light should still be on), and then after 4-5 seconds, press the softreset.
It's not 100% but that's how i got it to freeze the last two times... maybe I'm wrong.. i dunno..
So i still haven't been able to reproduce the problem reliably. I chatted with Cloudyfa and he said the main difference between PDAViet 40005 and PDAViet 40005a (when this problem started happening), was the addition of the HTC homeplug from kaiser.
I've disabled the homeplug for now and will try very hard to reproduce the problem again. Usually i'll happen within a day with all my reseting and playing around. So far, 4-5 hours in, it hasn't crashed on reset.
For those that have experienced the reset issue... did you have the homeplug enabled?
Thanks,
Please try charging handset to 100% power by PC USB port and reset again.
BTW, I enabled HTC homeplug.
Yes I had the homeplug enabled each time it happened.
And just for information, I switched to the Gullum V5 yesterday for testing, and I just got this issue with this rom two...
So three leads can be followed :
- it's due by a 3rd party software I installed
- two roms use the same thing that makes this happened
- two bugs are differents but got the same effect

Hi actually I tried the Gullum V5 yesterday too. After just install it, hard reset, ext rom installation, looks ok, once I install the chinese plug in (Monster Chinese), which I do install in the 4.0.0.0.6 Touch without problem, once after the installation and required softreset, it hangs in the boot screen. I tried twice and getting the same result.

Update on my testing. almost 24 hours with homeplug disabled and lots of softresets. No boot screen freezes yet... crossing my fingers this weekend!
I switched back to PV 4006 touch and I gonna try to use it my way with the Homeplug disabled.
I'll let you know if it fixes our problem or not.

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.

no, not after Active sync
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?
hi

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
I have spent the past week on this problem , including reading ppcgeeks & ppckitchen threads for hooouuuurrrs. And still no working phone!
What I have: ActiveSync 4.5 on an XP desktop. I successfully RUU WM6.1 onto my Alltel PPC6800, had the upgraded radio, internal GPS worked.
The problem:
From the Bootloader screen, without ActiveSync, I flash a ROM. After RUU says it was successful the Mogul resets. No LEDs light up and the screen stays off. I Hard Reset. The Green LED comes on and stays on.
I’ve removed the battery and Hard Rest and Soft Reset with the result being that just the Green LED stays on.
Whenever I use the RUU the current ROM version on the phone is not displayed. But the RUU lets me continue.
I can always get the Bootloader (tri-color) screen, which has:
TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.40.Olipro
CPLD-9
After re-flashing the stock WM 6.1 ROM, the phone gets into a reset loop with nothing displayed on the screen and the Green LED blinking.
I’ve re-flashed 2 previous Kitchen ROMs that worked originally.. No change.
I’ve removed and then reinstalled ActiveSync. Rebooted XP. Still no connection.
I’ve removed and reinstalled PPCKitchen with successful updating. Rebooted XP. No change.
I’ve tried to flash from my fats formatted 2gb SD with renaming RUU_signed.ngh to “TITAIMG.nbh” and copying it. Got the Grey screen with progress bar. Then Hard Reset. No change.
I’ve tried every combination of Soft reset, Hard reset, battery removed combination with each ROM flash.
I’ve tried the Titan Exit Bootloader exe. This was successfully executed but did not solve the problem.
I’ve tried flashing the radio but I get a Bad Command error.
Update: In an attempt to diagnose the source of the problem by eliminating my cooked ROMs as the problem, using the SD method, I Flashed third parson's cooked Alltel ROM.
By all indicators the Flash was successful. I have Hard Rest (pushing the "R" then "space bar" when told to do so) several times. (Once I removed the battery for several minutes then Hard Reset.) But I still have the same problem of after Hard Reset the Green LED stays on and the screen appears to be off.
Since I am having the same results with my cooked ROMs I believe that my Bootloadeer and ROMs are OK. (Looking for confirmation here.)
Then is the problem with the radio? Or is it a hardware problem?
Any help is appreciated!!
Maybe try updating the radio? As far as I remember there were a few radio versions that did have internal GPS enabled but are still incompatible with the latest ROMs.
What radio version are you running now?

But I still have the same problem of after Hard Reset the Green LED stays on and the screen appears to be off.
Since I am having the same results with my cooked ROMs I believe that my Bootloadeer and ROMs are OK. (Looking for confirmation here.)
Then is the problem with the radio? Or is it a hardware problem?
Any help is appreciated!!

Sounds like you need to just flash a new radio to your phone.... I had the same problem at one time and that fixed it...
Problem solved??
Skippyd, Thanks for the suggestion!!
Interesting Update: I started to take more risks. (All flashing was done by SD method.)
I re-flashed radio 3.42.50. Although the flash was completed there was no change in results. I re-flashed both ROMs that had worked and ones that had no change. And still no change.
Then I decided to flash any ROMs made for Alltel (Titan) that I could find. (I wasn't really seeing if the ROMs had radios in them.)
I flashed nueROM_MTitan-201-201-spackr.rar which booted to the 2nd splash screen [AAAHHH!!! something different!!!] The following information also appeared on the screen:
Nuekernel 3.01
Build 109(c) 2008 No2chem
High Mem (camera disabled)
HTC
M09
B03
P=DCAAXAM 4350H
R=3.42.50
D=3.56
After resets and re-flashes of this ROM I could not get past the 2nd. Splash screen.
I next went to the link from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22132&highlight=boot+stop+splash (post # 3)
I flashed: Alltel_titan_20273_a2.rar . However, the result was the same as my original problem.
I skipped the .exe file that was in the list.
Then I flashed Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar and SUCCESS!!! It booted. (I did not install any of the CABs listed on the screen.) I can enter all of the menues. I don't know if GPS still works. The green LED flashes like it did when I could use the phone. (I can't use the phone now because I reactivated my old phone.)
I have not tried these other ROMs that are also listed:
Nex_5054_Alltel_b2.rar
Nex_5054_Alltel_spb'd.rar
Nex_Alltel_dcd_3.0.0.rar
Nex_Alltel_superBB_chick.rar
Before I do any more test-flashes, can anyone tell me:
#1) what additional information I should copy off my phone before I try these other ROMs?
#2) can anyone tell me the differences in the ROM that works and the ones that did not (so I know why Nex_5054.8_Alltel_b3.rar works)?
And #3) Does anyone have any suggestions before I proceed with testing other ROMs or try cooking my own again?
Thanks, in advance, for your help!
I've flashed my phone to the stock ROM before flashing it to Artemis v42. However, the bootup time is extremely long and sometimes it hangs at the Windows setup screen (Preparing for first use). I've hard resetted after flashing Artemis and after a few resets it does startup (but still quite slow at the HTC screen with the radio version in the lower left corner). After I change the settings via Atemis Centre, such as No SMS Sent Confirmation and no "programs tab" in Manila 2 and reset, the phone would actually either hang at the HTC screen or hard reset by itself. I have Radio version 2.15 and flashed the stock ROM as recommended in the first post as well.
It seems that whenever there is some sort of registry modification, the HD2 would hang at the boot screen or hard reset by itself. If I don't do anything to the phone (change settings or even the wallpaper), then I can call and use the phone normally. I noticed that when I flash via SSPL, the SPL version shown is 1.42 but when I flash the stock rom, it shows SPL version 3.03. Is this normal? I even tried flashing V41 and the same things happen.
Strange behaviours include random hangs on the boot screen, disappearing files and programs that were flashed (such as wallpaper, they disappear or become inaccessible, and programs will have the "cannot be opened" problem).
Whenever I go back to the stock ROM, "RUU_Leo_S_HKCSL_WWE_3.14.831.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U _2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" none of this would happen. Is there something I should try to prevent the problems? Or is my Asian HD2 not compatible with this custom ROM? Thanks!
Based on your information, the only logical explanations I can see is a wrong installation.
try it again.
I'm puzzled as to what could have gone wrong. I just download SSPL, rename the Artemis to the correct name, connect USB, flash. After flash finish, hard reset.
Dear friends,
I installed Artemis V.22 in my HTC HD2 two months ago... was working fine until I had problems booting. First I tried leaving the telephone without battery for some hours and it got fixed but then I tried reseting (vol.up at start up).
The telephone turned really unstable. It ran but was bloqued by many application's bugs (I think) so I had to soft reset it (red button) many times and even hard resetting (vol.up) some.
Usually it started again with the windows start-up process (setting hour, wifi connction, qüestion around the location authorisation...).
After some hard resets, the telephone is bloqued before the start up process. So the orange window of windows with the progress bar starts until the progress bar is full... but then it does not start the init process. It remains there.
Tried hard reset again (vol up) and leaving the battery out for some hours... no difference.
I have no option to Synchronize the telephone and install HSDP or any other ROM... I guess? So I suppose it is bircked.
Is there any way out? I tried to install HSDP Corulla but I think I need the sync...
With volume down I get the 3 color window with serial on the white... I thout that with Artemis the radio had changed but now I realize I can not load the ROM from the SD Card.
Thanks for your help!
