Hello, sorry if I've committed a faux-pas by starting a new thread for this, but after looking around for awhile I can't seem to find any info on my exact model (for purposes of flashing a new ROM).
I have a G4 WIZA100 "square" model (looks like Cingular 8125 but w/ black & silver fascia and HTC logo under the screen) and unfortunately I don't have the manual as it was given to me by a friend visiting from the US. Originally issued by Edge Wireless before it was bought up by ATT, and the Edge splash screen displays on soft reset.
My best guess is a standard P4300, but the ExtROM (check sig) turns up nothing on google. The only other clue I've been able to unearth is that on a hard reset a link to Qtek appears in IE favorites. Would like to try upgrading to WM6.1. Any help would be appreciated as I'm a total noob with this kind of stuff other than PSP-related.

What is your IPL/SPL when you soft reset? If it looks like X.XX.XXXX where "X" represents a number, than you have a G4 device, and if it looks like X.XX.X or anything else, than it is a G3.
Gah, sorry, I see now that you know that you have got a G4, so what you need to do it install HardSPL to your phone, which is available in the G4 section, and then you can upgrade to any ROM that you want, so long that it doesnt contain any IPL/SPL, which all of the newer cooked ROMs dont.
Thanks for the reply. I did HardSPL the phone and installed the throttle diamond ROM. Everything seems to be fine now, other than for some reason the start menu is at the top of the screen. Oh well, it doesn't matter to me. Big thanks to everyone on this forum that did the work that made it so easy for me to upgrade! The FAQs and guides were excellent.

Well, having the Start menu at the top of the screen is how Windows Mobile touchscreen devices are. WinMo stadard ones have it at the bottom.
If you are talking about the Task Bar shows with Windows logo at middle of Task Bar when the Windows Mobile logo is showing, it is a common bug in WM6.1 AKU builds.

My FP, but I have been reading here a lot for the past week or so.
I am a Linux user... so I know a bit about what I'm doing. However, these phones are a different animal that I am not too familiar with.
I recently flashed my 15 day old 8125 with the Xplore 1.1 WM6 rom. Works great, but only one problem, sometimes when It goes to "sleep" it will not intercept a call one out of 5 times. If I wake it during that call, the indicator will pick up that it is ringing at the top, but will not intercept the call, and lock the phone up. It will fail to display some notifications as well... And the time doesn't sync to cingular. Im not on edge, I use the wifi for internet since my town is covered with APs. No, no apps are running on the phone during the call interception problems.
The ONLY progs im running on the phone are winrar, and wififofum2.
I Suspect that activesync may be causing the problems, because it.... runs
for no reason sometimes even after being turned off.
I have flashed the phone back to factory just to test this and see if it is in fact Xplore 1.1.
I want a WM6 rom, and I like Xplore, and appreciate the work done on it, but would like some help. I can't stand WM5. The tool bars are too plain, and old looking, and the stock HTC rom is a RAM hog.
Thanks.

Why don't you post problems with my rom on my thread? It's your right.
I am not familiar with this bug, post it again in the Xplore 1.1 thread and see if somebody else has it.
Also, when you say that your phone has problems, provide the ipl/spl G3/G4 ...and other info you think it may be helpfull.
Hi I'm a bit of a N00b about pdas
sorry if im asking a dumb question, but will Xplore 1.1 work on my WM5 dell AXIM X51v? and is this a wm6 update or just a wm6 addon (do u need wm6 preinstalled?) Also will this work with most wm5 programs??

i installed the XDA Windows mobile 6 about 3-4 months ago on my SPV M3100,
everything worked fine untill just lately it started displaying just a plain white screen, not bricked because if i rapped on the power button a few times it would display everything normally?
problem is it has started doing it more and more often untill lately it decided to completely go white - i found out the phone still works just a blank screen? also some of the mounted buttons stopped working at times and would work othertimes?
ive fully charged it, turned it on and plugged it into my pc but im not sure what to do?
is it something to do with XDA, maybe some kind of virus or should i literally re-install the orange windows mobile 5 and send it back?
any help would be great! - im in a bit of a pickle here
thanks -Edd
wm6 spv m3100 white screen
hi there
if anyone is following this thread, i too upgraded first to 4.01 as good as gold, then to 4.30, Schaps ROM's. all fine but then the white screens started in 4.3, in the end about 10-14 days i had to remove the battery to boot the unit, and only thrn with PSU/USB plugged in, so power issue?
anyway i pushed thorugh to 4.31 alls currently well, keep you posted
cheers in all others senses great work all round
cheers pete
Yep, I've got this issue with my HTC Hermes but it only manifested itself after the upgrade to WM6?!
Can you ALL please tell us what bootloader you are running?
I followed the online instructions for getting Schaps WM6 ROM on board for my SPV. I shall dig them out.

Hi Folks
My Hermes/Tytn is an Orange M3100. Recently it has begun dropping calls, or rather, ignoring them. The caller could hear a ringing tone but the phone wouldn't switch on, show me an incomming call or anything. A short while later, usually after I'd switched it on (I mean, the screen, "off" is that it's on standby) I'd get the notification of a missed call. More often than not it would come through after I had made a call.
This reached a "point" on the weekend where I missed about 17 calls from the Agency to get work for me as I was the only one available
So. I upgraded as reccomended on here. Up to HardSPL 2.10, Radio version 1.41 and then upgraded to Schaps 4.22 WM6 Rom.
Now, I made sure that ActiveSync has connected and synchronised, and all my contacts and PIM info is in Outlook. However, A/S won't transmit the information to the PDA, even though it tells me it's synchronising.
The only way I have managed to get my PIM data/address book back onto the PDA was by running a custom SPB backup file to restore the calender, sms and phonebook.
This is where the fun starts. My PIM and Tasks then go "read only" merely by having a warning telling me I have no memory and to go and close other programs down. But there isn't anything else running!
Fine. Right. Ok. Obviously I've done something wrong. I did a hard reset this evening. It wiped all the data internally and reset it. I changed the details to match the username that was already stored in A/S and plugged it in.
It tells me "Connecting" and the green thing swirls around but doesn't actually do anything.
I have heard mention of the MTTY software, so I've got that here. But it won't allow me to connect on USB, only Com1, 2 or 3.
So I've a pretty useless phone at the moment. It's got none of my files on there, the satnav is rendered useless merely because I can't install the sod and all the other problems to go with it.
Short of screaming abuse at it and throwing it across the room I'm a bit stuffed. And I can't spend anymore time on it as I've got to be getting up for work at 4am (only finished tonight at 8pm ) for another full day
I've read the wiki, I've gone through the pages and pages and, er, pages of posts but I'm hitting a brick wall somewhere. I'm not as bright as you guys, but I get by.
TIA. Elwyn

The device is no longer worthwhile for me and have spoken to Mike Channon over it. If you can change that or help me change it I would be grateful
Mikechannon is the main man when it comes to the hardware side of things, if it was an early bootloader issue (related to bad NAND blocks) then thats what i was questioning your SPL version about.
If mike is confident it is the hardware problem then id take his word for it, the guy rocks
/me has to get his mikechannon ass kissing back into shape again hehe.

Not entirely sure what it is yet. If WM6 wrote to the 'wrong' part of the memory, would reflashing back to WM5 fix this?! Is there a way of repairing NAND issues?
MrVanx, I looked in the original thread that I posted in about this issue and followed you're link. Not sure whether I did or didn't at the time, but I can see there are instructions for downgrading the ROM from 6 to 5. However I am now in the situation that I can't use the USB cable as it causes it to white screen, but probably could if I did it via memory card....
white screen continued
hi there
sorry about lack of info i installed olipro 1.4 as per the instructions at the wiki i think. mine doesnt boot white, it turns white/fades to white when in use, or more commoinly i will press off after use, then later turn the unit on, and it will come white. first few times it si normal after 2nd on/off, then it stops completly requiring a hard boot, then that stops and it requires a battery off, then that stops. however it always seems to repsond when power connected, even if 100% charged or just off.
it feels to me like a power issue, still there in 4.31, wasnt there in 4.01, going back now to see if its hardware.
i will give as much info as you guys need, i got my phone from orange in may 2007
pete
white screen update
hello again
still on 4.31 activesync isnt playing at teh moment but anyway.
on the screen thing, if i leave the unit standby itself and then power back on it seems fine, so far 3 hours of good, no white screens.
thanks pete
hi there i face this problem with my imate jasjam sorry to tell you that but this problem is a hardware problem you be confirm that it hardware by push by your 2 fingers below the screen and above the keys like you catch"hold" something bush the power key again the white screen will be disappear .sorry if you don't understand me because of my English.
Hi everybody.
Anybody solved problem with white screen?
I have the same truble as EddTQ - White blank screen & also some of the mounted buttons stopped working rarely 2 week before white blank.
same problem here.
Maybe a radio problem?
Folks,
The problem you are describing sounds like the flex connector.

Hey I've been having this problem with my Titan. I have Keys 1.31 rom and every once and awhile when I turn on my Titan it gets stuck on the the windows mobile start screen. Im able to get my phone working again if I reflash Keys rom.
So far this has happened 3 times in the past month.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Bell 6800
Keys 1.31 ROM
3.35 radio
Just for future reference...never has your phone been a brick. A bricked phone is just that...a brick, a paperweight, won't do anything at all. It can't be turned on, it can't boot, it can't be reflashed or fixed. It's obvious you're having a problem with something, but I constantly see people on a daily basis saying their phone is bricked when in actuality, very very few people have actually bricked phones.
Sorry, but I have no idea. You're apparently alone in facing this.
Have you tried reflashing to another third party or stock radio/ROM combination to help rule software or a bad flashing out as a cause?

What bootloader are you running? Maybe a bad install of the bootloader?
no, that's not a possibility, the bootloader isn't like a copy of Windows... besides, it's getting stuck on the windows mobile logo, that means its at the kernel.
my advice is to dump that ROM and flash something else.

In case that is interpreted negatively, quite a few are using builds from my kitchen and he's been quite alone in reporting this.
Sorry, I just had to chime in to defend my work.
That said, if one is facing such problems the first avenue to problem solving is not to keep flashing the same radio/build of an OS ROM into perpetuity. Mix things up. Isolate.
I'm not saying i'm 100% positive on this one, but sounds like to me he's using some kind of software that is coded poorly, or something that is corrupting his kernel or the necessary files that boot the os. Sounds like the phone is getting hung up right when it's trying to execute these files at boot.
My advice to you, that is if you want to keep using key's rom, is to create a CLEAN rom, and don't install any software. Run it for a while clean and see if the problem goes away...if that's the case, you need to re-evaluate which software you use.
HTC home. The silly green screen that says windows mobile? Yeah, HTC home is causing it to fail to boot, this has been covered before.
This is a very misleading title for this post. You can't unbrick a true 'brick' - unless it was a brick because you left the battery out.
A true 'brick' can't ever be turned on. It's a dead paperweight. So, there's no chance of unbricking it.
Flashed Keys rom to few phones....never had a problem !
I used olipro 2.40
Right now the phone is fine, it appears to happen randomly, Keys rom is great otherwise (no insult intended). What was meant by the problem with HTC home?

The windows mobile splash screen or the "silly green screen that says windows mobile" as you put it is not HTC Home. It is not HTC Home that is causing him to lock up at boot time.
To the OP, read my post, it's some piece of software that is causing your lockup. Guaranteed, if you make a clean rom (no software installed except the rom, with nothing cooked into it) I bet you see your problems go away. I then would install each piece of software one by one testing to see if you see the lockups after each one.

Kaos,
You will find you get more answers by posting in the appropriate thread. This is not a WM6 thread so chances are that most ppl would ignore your post.
As you are probably on dcd 3.0.x, I have answered your question over there in the dcd 3.0.4 thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2177772&postcount=459
Apart from the fact that your are more likey to recieve an answer when posting in the correct thread, it will also help others with the same problem find the answer wheb they do a SEARCH.
Also another good place to find general information is in the titan wiki (see the sticky at the top of the titan upgrading section).
Lastly, you could try starting a new thread if you just cant seem to find the appropriate place to get your answer.
Hi,
I have been having problems with my phone freezing every so often and so have found doing a soft reset quite often. I was going to do a hard reset on my phone and thought I might put on the HTC WM 6.1. Has anyone with the same phone as me put this update on there phone?
I just what to know if the update has improved the phone at all and what radio version you might be using.
Any help and feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
My T-Mobile Touch plus was needing a "full power cycle" at least every day. Used to keep loosing the clock or weather images and only way to get em back was powering off then turning back on.
Followed the guide on here, but used hard spl 1.21.
Flashed with the offical HTC 6.1 for touch plus.
Much better, no more power cycling the phone.
Just waiting for 6.5 to come along and try that, but at the end of my contract im going to switch to Iphone since they have announced "cut'n'paste" at last. Plus it has does push email. Getting fed up with the screen on the touch plus.
Hi Shoei
Thanks for the reply. I have upgraded to the official HTC 6.1 now with hard spl 1.22
I have notice a difference with performance already, and no more power cycling.
Hello Everyone,
I bought a verizon Titan with a kitchen ROM with WM 6.1. Yesterday I decided to try to cook one myself with WM 6.5. Everything was fine except ehe "start" button stopped working after some minutes. I cooked another opne with less programs. Then I thought it would be a good idea to use the Spbbackup I had to try to get some programs back. It told me that there has been a ROM update I clicked ok and it did its thing.
I had problems with that ROM so tried one that was in one called WM6.5Beta with WM 6.5 after that it boots, then I get a WM6.5 green screen and then the screen goes white. I though it was the Radio so I updated to the 3.42.5. No change, I tried the exitbootloader program no change. I tried to get another kitchen ROM into the Titan but the pc does not detect the Tytan. Ive tried everything I even used the las Sprint Stock Rom via Sdcard and it got to the Htc screen "no Radio". I installed the 3.42.5 Radio and I got to the WM6.5 green screen again and then it turns white.
The weird thing is that if I press the Powerbuton i get the "Power will be turned off and you may lose.." you know the usual. but I can not selkect either yes or no, the screen freezes and turns black. Another wird thing is that all the screens I see when I boot are the one I installed in my last kitchen ROM. I have tried millions hard resets, softresets, removing battery... I am really lost and I need my phone back!! Did I brick my phone? I can put new Roms and Radio through sd card method but this new ROMs dont seem to take effect since I always get the same screens...
Any help will be appreciated.
oh also If I slide the keyboard there is this "chimes" sound. So I guess a ROM is actually active but the screen is white and nothing else works...
The Flex Cable is going bad. Its the wiring so the screen can slide in and out. It can take abuse and go bad over time. Easy replace.
