I did a hard reset on my phone after installing too much stuff, trying to make things run better. After i did the hard reset my phone reboots all ok, but then after that anytime i turn it off and back on i get a message that says cprog.exe and then after that message my touchflo3d wont work at all and i also cant access my contacts at all. how can i fix this? i tried another hard reset but it did the same thing.
I have had the same thing happening to me. I have tried everything, new ROMs, registry settings, completely hard reseting and putting everything as default. I am going to return mine and get a replacement it has to be a hardware issue

Yup, that happaned to me once. I just hard reset again and it was fine. Happaned one time in about 30 hard resets since ownership since last week. It actually did it on my own custom ROM which was the wierdest part. I woudl liek to say its the hardware but I dont see how? Strange issue.

LOL, so ironic considering I just started receiving this error this morning. I'm not hard resetting and it's been pissing me off. So instead I went ahead and turned off Error reporting, thus basically told the phone to pound sand.
Hi,
MY Touch HD has developped this problem and I can't use it at present. I only just upgraded to the new ROM, as directed by HTC, who now suggest a hard reset - which I am loathe to do as have just re-installed all my apps, contacts etc. Can I replace the obviously corrupt cprog.exe file with a working one? Where would I get one if so . .!?
Disappointed with HTC for the support on this.
i just replace the pim.vol file and it works, i'm using touch pro 2. sad to say that, i just got my phone about 1 week, and i found alot of problem with its rom and software.

cprog.exe might not be as simple to replace since I believe that this is cooked into the roms. Hard reset is normally the best medicine...

Hi experts...
Well, I have just recently upgraded to WM2003SE with ZeroXtreme modified ROM. Lately, while I was using my xda 2, probably it process pretty much heavy task and got hang. I did a soft the first time, it was somehow froze at the splash screen. Thought I waited longer than the usual time it'd load to windows, impatiently I soft reset the second time.
Surprisingly It proceeded to the align window which was actually done by hard reset. I was still puzzled even now, wonder whether it does happen like with the upgrade or just on my machine.
However, before this happen, I did somehow accidentally got my xda 2 knock against the ground quite lightly and a little scratch was on my baby's... Not sure if that was part of the cause of the auto-hard reset?
After reinstalling all applications back, I did some trial and error to test if it reoccur by soft resetting a few times and pressing multiple buttons simultaneously or any other way that I could think of to test out.
And so far it didn't auto-hard reset again. But, sometimes, if I soft reset it, it'd froze at the 2nd splash screen (the first splash screen where it displays the rom version,etc for short). Hence, i need to soft-reset it another time to get back working.
Experts please give advise or anyone experience the same occurence please do share. thanks.
Hi buddy,
The hang/delay while soft reset seems to be a common problem for 2.06 ROM. I have the same problem as well. Someone suggested the XCPUScaler could help a bit and it does....well, not totally. Sin from Australia suggested a merge of 2.02t and 2.06 ROMs can resolve the problem. I haven't try it yet but if you would like to give it a go, do a search in the Forum.
Have a great Christmas!
Cheers!
Check the DB_notify_queue database as it might contain lots of records ... use CheckNotify to clear it as the clearnotify.exe fix doesn't
P.S: it shouldn't contain more than 20 records in average

Hi!
I use CheckNotify and check that they were 21 records. I guess it's normal then, since you said it shouldn't be more than 20 records. So, do you think I should still run the "clearfix.exe"?
I was just puzzled, how on earth that it could hard-reset by itself, when I was expecting a soft-reset on the machine.
I tried to recollect how was it possible to happen, and I thought it could be due to the one time that it slipped off my hand and knock on the ground lightly while I was trying to snap a picture that's closed to the floor. Other than these, I'm not too sure what's the cause could be, cause it might be too technical for me to discover :?
I think this is the problem of using non-official rom, especially main one. I have similar problem but not that serious. This is our trade off as no one force us to flash our rom.
Sometime I think it might be hardware problem too, as my wife is using 1.66WWE (I did not flash her machine), it sometimes hard reset automatically too... Also, everything change sim card - even if the 2nd battery is full, it still lost all the data.
Might be the machine is too complicated or might be this is a common feature of all the windows products.
So I looked around and couldn't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.
Why exactly do you have to Hard-Reset after flashing a new ROM? (When the screen calibration comes up) I have almost never Hard-Reset after flashing and I haven't had any troubles what-so-ever, so why is it recommended? I certainly haven't seen any improvement the few times I did Hard-Reset. Is this a ticking time bomb to not do it, or is it just more likely that something will go wrong if you don't Hard-Reset? Is there some underlying damage I'm doing to my phone? To me it seems like it works fine without a Hard-Reset, why spend the extra time?
Any insight?

When you flash a stock rom with the HTC ruu, it automatically does the hard reset for you. The hacked, custom ruu's skip the hard reset (so you can flash a radio or splash w/o the hard reset). I couldn't tell you why thr hard reset is necessary, but if HTC seems to think it's important, then that's good enough for me.

Meh..
1200+ posts. Enjoy reading. Maybe I am lazy. I always leave SIM and SD in and rarely HR after flash. You can always hard reset (free, no charge)
When you are flashing more than once a week, and better yet, cooking a new rom more than once a week, you won't bother reading drivel (you won't have time).
You'll get your own feel for the need for another HR after flash. Pattern-seeking is basic human nature. You'll figure it out

You want to reset after install because it helps clear any left over data and the rom will load from phone and not activesync. The best way to do it is to install the rom from sd card then reset. This helps make sure you get a good flash. I havent had a bad flash in along time but it does happen.
Always perform a Hard Reset after every flash.
AFAIK, you do need to reset between ROM flashes; the loader and Custom RUU were changed to allow for flashing of Radio, ROM, and Splash - so not all areas are reformatted during flash. Most chefs perform the Hard Reset when the Stylus Calibration appears - I used to personally wait until TF3D so as to ensure that all post-reset processing has completed successfully.
For a while, I was skipping the Hard Reset ... then I spent 30 mins trying to figure out why files were was missing from Application Data, Content, and Music. As a rule, I now perform these steps:
SD Card ROM Flash
Hold Volume Down & Action
Push Reset
Perform reset phase & wait for completion
Press Volume Up
Hold Volume Down (enter bootloader)
ActiveSync (cradle):
Similar steps can be performed while connected via ActiveSync (cradle):
Power Off Phone
Hold Volume Down & Action & Reset
Power On Phone
Perform reset phase & wait for completion
Press Volume Up
Hold Volume Down (enter bootloader)
USB connects, launch Custom RUU

I never hard reset, unless I experience some major weirdness and I (almost) never have any issues. Sometimes I have issues when I switch from lets say EnergyROM to NATF's but really rare.
I never reset any other devices I flash (I have flashed so many different types of phones, routers, ipods and so many other different devices.)

Few things to keep in mind: frequency of ROM flashes (i do many while chef'ing), ROM size (going from larger to smaller can cause unpredictable results), device non-volatile settings (the area of the device that contains altered settings such as registry, file additions/removals, etc.).

Some devices operate differently. From my 25+ years experience in the business, I've run into several issues where a factory (hard) reset cleared up the problems experienced post-firmware update. I've even had situations where uploading the backed up configuration would cause the device to halt/crash.

In the very beginning, I used to Hard Reset twice, once before a flash and then once after a flash. Noonski posted a more efficient method which eliminated one of the Hard Reset and ensured that the device always functioned as anticipated. See steps and thread noted above that contains Noonski's observation.
I've been using the noted methods above since then and have never run into issues as I had before.
I hard reset twice, too. The first one is so quick, there's no good reason not to-it may help the flash go properly as well. I don't hit volume up, though. When the reset is done, I just go straight to bootloader and flash from my card. Then I do the second one at the tap here screen.
Still, sometimes funky things happen in customization. I always remove the sim card, but occasionally instead of getting a soft reset after customization, the stupid dialer will pop up, as well as the 'customization will start in 3 seconds' pop-up. Then the phone freezes. This happened a couple days ago to me, and voice command and gscroll wouldn't work. A 3d hard reset got me going, lol.
Howdy guys,
after a little help please. I am using energy cookie rom since may with little problems.
However, recently the phone started switching itself off. I noticed it whilst streaming with 'myplayer'. Then it did it when i received a text message. Now it is doing it all the time. I have started playing a game called land, air, sea, warfare (great game btw) And the problem is worse not only does it just switch the phone off but it somehow manages to make the phone do a hard reset???????
When the phone switches back on it says it is the first time the phone has been on and goes through asking me which carrier i am using?
Also sometimes it wont switch back on and i have to false a hard reset to get it to work. I have done about a dozen hard resets since yesterday.
Any ideas please? Btw i did perform a task 29 and a hard reset after i installed this rom.

My two pennies on this:
1. Perform a task29 again.
2. Install a stock ROM.
3. Install HSPL3.
4. Perform Task29 again.
5. Install the ROM again.
Should remove all the problems and get you a good clean ROM without probs.

Howdy, thanks for taking the time to respond. So you think the issue is probably software related rather than hardware? I only ask cause that 'game' is 40 mb and i was wondering if maybe it is too resource hungry for my phone and maybe i have an issue? Ram, cpu etc?
Either way i will try and change the rom first.

I am using energy cookie rom too. I used to have the same problem like you, and i did some easy things to solve. It's ok so far and i hope to help you.
- Flash new stable radio after flash rom (someone say should flash radio in advance, but not for me). V2.10.50.28_2 is good to me.
- Turn off auto lock. It makes some disadvantages to you, but helps your device from death - sleep.

I doubt it is that game resource problem. Most probably some software conflict only. HD2 can handle 40mb game files easily.

ok mate well i am taking the advice posted here and am task29 again and am now flashing the rom so fingers crossed. I also do not use the auto lock but i will try a new radio after the rom has finished thanks guys.
fingers crossed.
well that sucks.
got the phone working ok with a new rom. energy cht 03/07 i task 29 first and performed a hard reset.
One and only thing i installed was that game played for about 10 minutes and bang the phone crashed and is only booting to the white htc logo screen.
Any more advice guys?
edit. i cannot get the phone to boot pased this white 'htc' logo screen this time. What do i do now folks? Pretty please.

Guess your game has got some serious conflict with the ROM and is corrupting some reg settings or some ROM settings. Probably you are better off not installing that game again. Moreover, write to the developer of the game about this issue.
With regard to the phone, just follow the same advice I gave in the first post. Time consuming I know, but your device will get back to normal. Fingers crossed.

looks like something is going on? I performed about 5 hard resets and finally got the phone to boot up. But it is hanging for everything now. I turned on bluetooth, i tried to access sense and both caused the phone to hang. So i will try your advice again, tomorrow. Thanks,
well that game definitely conflicts with the phone.
i flashed a stock rom from the sd card as advised and finally got the phone working aok. within 10 minutes of installing and playing that game the phone is back to her old ways of soft/hard resetting.
is there a way to check that it is not a hardware issue?
thanks again for all your help.
Every time I reset or turn on my fone after shutting down, it will stuck at the logo boot up. It wasn't like that when I first bought the fone. Now it's getting worse and worse since the issue happens so frequently.
I have to take out the battery and put it back, then wait for about 3 to 5 mn before I turn the phone on.Then it would boot up as usual.
Is there anyone facing the same issue as I am? Any suggestion guys?
Are you experiencing excessive heat when this occurs? Also, can you give more info such as: does this happen only after recent charging or does it ever happen when the phone has been turned off for a long time? Was there any recent apps you installed or ROM changes when this started happening? Was there any potential damage done to the phone -dropped it, got it wet, or microwaved
When you say frequently, does that mean every time you restart? every other time? every five times?
Lastly, do you have any other issues/symptoms other than freezing at startup? Does the phone ever freeze during normal use?
i'd suggest you do a hard reset of your phone (hold down both vol up and vol down keys while powering on/resetting). that should fix the problem. if the problem still persists, it's probably some hardware faults.
Me too
My HD2 just started doing this too. It was fine for 7 weeks I have owned it. However, as described in this by OP, when doing soft reset would it would also get stuck on bootup logo. I'd have to remove the battery for a few minutes before it would bootup.
However, my HD2 also crashes and upon reboot then get stuck on bootup logo. It appears to crashes randomly eg not with any particular program or action.
I figured it was software issue so did hard reset. This worked fine. After hard reset the only software I loaded were Total Commander and Cookie Editor.
After Cookie Editor install I did soft reset and it got stuck on bootup logo. : (
So I did another hard reset but it hung up again upon reboot on bootup logo.
This appears to be a hardware issue. But has anyone else had same issue?

Hi. I got this problem for quite sometime and am so used to taking out and putting back and taking out and putting back the batt.
But now I have another prob: my ringtone suddenly went soft and I now have to keep myself alert all the time to see if there's any incoming call or SMS.
I would like to do a hard reset but the question is: will it set my phone back to the stock ROM or still retain the updated version - 1.66.707.1?
Thanks in advance.

HD2 issue
After some more searching it appears this is not uncommon for HD2. Its not clear to me if it is specific to T-Mobile HD2 or HD2 in general.
It appears to be a hardware issue. Although that is not 100% clear either. I find it hard to distinguish what some people report as 'freezing' which i believe is different to the issue described in this post which is 'hanging up' or 'getting stuck' on boot up screen - in my case it is the T-Mobile 'stick together' pink and white screen/logo.
(The 'freezing' issue that i believe is different to this 'getting stuck on bootup logo' issue appeared to have been resolved iwth new T-Mobile ROM - and I never experienced it on my HD2).
The resolution for getting stuck on bootup screen issue described here appears to have been to exchange HD2 (although some people exchanged up to 6 times and keep getting same issue!)
I think it is important to note that my HD2 performed fine for 7 weeks with lots of soft resets, hard resets, and lots of software installs (though no ROM reflashing) but within last week or so, start crashing randomly, then upon reboot get stuck on bootup screen/logo. This also became more frequent as time progressed. After doing hard reboot, the issue is now acute, eg it gets stuck on every reboot, and crashes more often.
This leads me to think some hardware has failed or degraded and is getting worse, maybe a connection/soldering etc?
However, is there any possibility that a ROM could 'degrade'? Can a ROM have a setting that is modifiable? (I know it is 'read only memory' but is it really?)
Anyways, love to hear from others on this issue.
Same problem here. Bought my HD2 in june. Cooked my own rom with Chucky's kitchen. Flashed different radios, hard resets, task 29 etc. Absolutely no problem. Worked fine for several weeks. But sometime it begun to freeze, auto resets, stuck at boot logo. It was getting worse. Even flashing stock rom it hungs at boot logo.
Now my HD2 is out for repair. Now waiting for returning. Hope they will change the motherboard.
several people have had their motherboards replaced and that has seemed to fix it for them. You'll probably have to fight with htc or your carrier, but should be able to get it replaced.
Hi guys. Another question:
I'm considering doing a hard reset. How do I store my messages before doing it? I can't seem to locate the folder that keeps all my messages.
TIA.
HD2 is an odd one
Thanks for replies. I really don't want to send it in .. but it will probably be the only way to resolve the issue. It will cost me courier there and back, and $20 'triage' fee .. total cost to me will be ~$100 just to have them look at it. Price of doing business I guess.
Anyways, I realized that one of my issues was that it was crashing when syncing. A little digging reveals that HTC Sense does something to all contacts when syncing first time putting a bit of html in contact notes field (weird but it is true .. its their way of reminding you bought an HTC phone?) So once I got it up and running, I disabled Sense and syncing went fine, no crashing.
(Btw, Sense also appears to do something with SMS msgs too so if you have lots it crashes on due to this reason too).
However, even with plain Jane MS today screen (eg not using Sense) it still crashed once on sync and again when listening to radio. Both times had to remove battery for few minutes before it would reboot without getting stuck at bootup logo.
But so far it seemed to be working 'better' without using Sense.
So, I re-enabled Sense to see what would happen and over a day it has crashed twice. I am going to see how it behaves for few days before sending it in as RMA repair.
Still, important point is that it was ok for 7 weeks, and then started crashing, more and more, even after hard reset, though some of issues may have been due to Sense (which is reported by many users).
It is still not a 'normal' thing for a $700 consumer device to have such erratic behaviour. So, given others have exchanged crashing handsets for new handset that has no issues points to underlying hardware issues as suggested above eg motherboard.
As comparison I also have HTC Diamond 2 which has been rock solid for 2 years of continuous use even with lots of software install, tweaking, reg hacks, etc.

Thanks. Btw I read before we can actually 'disable' Sense.
How do we do that?
Sense - go to Today
Go to Start - Settings
- iI you see the black HTC Settings (has 'Personalize' on top of items) then go to Menu and select 'All Settings' (this will show Windows Mobile's Settings. HTC Sense 'Settings' doesn't everything Windows Mobile Settings has or shows it differently)
- Select 'Today'
- Select the 'Items' tab in Today
- Check 'Windows Default' and click OK in top right.
This will 'swap' out HTC Sense 'today' with Windows Mobile standard Today screen and voila you will have 'disabled' HTC Sense and you are back to using Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 version of Sense (not anywhere near as useful or neat-o to look at but hey they are pretty happy with it )

Just by disabling Sense is not going to make it work. I had this problem with my HD2 also and without using Sense it seemed to be working (there were fewer crashes), but only for few days. My HD2 was getting worse day by day - it was not crashing only if it was not touched (it was crashing just cycling between Sense tabs or by initiating a call).
At repair center they told me (after three weeks of waiting) that the motherboard must to be changed.
Is it possible to damage it by flashing custom ROMs?
For me, this problem appeared after just one month of usage. I was flashed some custom ROMs.
Now, I have a new HD2 but I'm affraid to flash a custom ROM (at least in the near future).
I have my HD2 back. Took me 2 weeks, the repair center changed the motherboard and got an new IMEI.
Now all is working, no more stuck at bootlogo.
But i'm on stock rom (1.66) with 2.07 radio. No way to run Android with this radio. Hmm...

Is it possible to damage it by flashing custom ROMs?
For me, this problem appeared after just one month of usage. I was flashed some custom ROMs.
Now, I have a new HD2 but I'm affraid to flash a custom ROM (at least in the near future).

I'm afraid as well to flash any custom rom now. For Android i need to HSPL and flash a 2.08 radio or greater to use it. But i'm stick on stock rom for sure.
I want to know as well if it possible to damage it by flashing customs roms ?
As i stated earlier, i flashed plenty of roms, doing task 29 etc., in the end stuck on bootlogo.
Thanks for the feedback on your repairs axman79 and Kalip. Btw, aside from courier cost there and back, did you have to pay the $30 'triage' fee or whatever they call it? Also, did they challenge your observations at all or did they just replace motherboard without question?
Yah, disabling Sense hasn't stopped my HD2 from crashing eith. Without using Sense it crashed several times while using Opera and more than a few times while syncing over the past three days. Also, it still gets stuck on reboot often, requiring battery to be removed for few minutes before rebooting.
So, guess I will send my HD2 in for RMA repair too (and wait for up to 3 weeks) and hope I get a functioning device in return.
Interesting though I didn't flash my HD2 but it went from 'good' to 'bad' in similar way that your two HD2's. From reading other posts around here on XDA and elsewhere it appears that HD2 motherboards fail with surprising frequency and for variety of reasons.
Would be nice to know if HD2 motherboards are unusually delicate and something physically breaks, or if there is some electrical operation, eg charging it on USB or unusual combination of button pushes that shorts something out?
The fact that battery has to be removed for few minutes in order to get thing to reboot hints that something requires charge to dissipate eg a component somehow 'locks up' which causes crash, and needs to be discharged by removing battery?

Was flashing stock rom with stock SPL, was at the shop where i bought it and they send it. I told them it stucks at bootlogo. Repair center changed motherboard without any question. Cost me nothing.

I want to know as well !
hey guys. I am so glad I found this post! I have exact same issues ith my HD2, it's driving me nuts.
I kept sort of log and described my problems in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712729
I think I have to send my HD2 for replacement or repair.
Can you please tell me how can I get my phone fixed/replaced?
I got the US T-Mobile version, but I don't have account in T-Mobile. Can I deal directly with HTC? Where do I have to call to get RMA number etc.
I would greatly appreciate your help!

Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.
