Today i bought the HTC Touch Pro, i updated the rom to a newer version but when is start up the phone the screen is freezing while the openings-screen appears (where you see your ROM-version in red letters). I already did a hard-reset, but it didn't help. What can i do now?
well, hopefully you didnt update the phone to the wrong type of ROM(CDMA vs GSM). Who is your carrier? and what rom did you try and flash?
Did you use Hard SPL first before flashing??
Did you follow this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Need to know a little bit more before anyone can help you out.

Honestly if the phone is only a day old from a store I would exchange it and be more careful flashing. If this is not an option, you will have a difficult road a head of you. Try searching around. If I wasnt at work I would search for some threads for you. There are a LOT of people here who can help.
Haha someone beat me to the search!!

Hi all.
Well, I made the jump from the Hermes to the Athena.....and it is a great device. One thing that I miss was the assortment of comm manager configurations that were available for the Hermes.
My question is does anyone know of a 9 or 10 button comm manager that will work on the Athena? I would like to have the voip button to try to make all of it work with this unit also.
If not, I could even deal with the current one if it wasn't GREEN !! Any help is appreciated.......Later

I am sure they need to figure out how to unlock the phone first. Thats still in development for our phones. Once that is done I am more than sure somone will have it unlocked shortly after. Just keep checking the threads and we will see an announcement by someone. I am even sure we will see more than one thread on it.
How about Skywing's
I don't have a TP to try this on yet. Been watching this forum in anticipation of moving up (?) from a xv6800.
Has anyone tried Skywing's hack to see if it works on a TP? In one of his posts, Skywing stated that he didn't see why his hack wouldn't work on any stock Verizon 6.1 install.
Just a thought . . .
The posted bits will not work on the xv6850 due to some timing differences with how the GPS driver initialization works. There is no value in using those bits on the xv6850.
The posted bits were stated to work with the xv6800 and not any Verizon device with WM6.1. Some people have claimed success with the xv6900, but I cannot speak to any possible success or failure with that device. They will not work on the xv6850.
I already tried to install Skywings fix and as soon as I click Use GPS in Google maps, it locks the phone beyond recovery.

I installed Skywings Vallhala cab. it opened up or unlocked the GPS so it was discoverable by OnCourse navigator 8 but wouldn't actually work or find satellites. It didn't lock up my device or do any harm whatsoever. I guess I'll stick to my bluetooth receiver for the time being....
yeah my phone froze up too when i tried using GPS in google maps after installing vallhala.cab. i think it's gonna need a little something more than just using the same hack for the xv6800. i really hope someone is in the process of development.
From what I understand its just figuring out how to unlock the unit then after that its easy to do whatever you want
Has anyone been able to do anything in QPST or does the phone need to unlocked to use QPST?

No, not quite. Hait to burst everyone's buble but its not quite that simple. The phone has been unlocked just not released to us. They have GPS up and running but only with VZNav. They are trying to work with GC for a GPS solution.
I can thoerize that this will only work with a fix from Valhalla.
It has alot to do with how the PRI's are preset. To make a long story short they have sort of proved this by flashing a new radio from sprint and it still wasnt "unlocked" Same thing wiht the titan would happen after MR1. The only thing that could revert the PRI back was a revert to a non GPS radio. Then back up to a GPS radio with a standard PRI instead of the VZ locked. From there you were good.
Well there is no pre-gps radio to revert back to for the Raph. Thats why I feel we will end up going an emulation route. The drivers are differnt than that titan which is why all of our phones crashed with his fix. Or most anyways. We need him to create a utility for us until someone figured out how to "cure" the PRi issue.
I may not have used the exact correct terminology in this post. Im more of a ROM guy than a GPS / Radio guy but this is how I understand it. Someone correct me please if I am wrong. And I deperately hope I am wrong on this one (Although I had no doubt in my mind when the phone was introduced this was to be the case. They were basically beta testing the GPS system with the Titan and Vogue. Sit back and think about).
Here is the thread I am reffering to:

I kind of remember seeing this last year I think. I would like to see a Shift II though. It was not lacking much for my needs .. as I said, I thought the phone would be a plus, but it wasn't. I think it is because I hate talking on the phone and a GIANT ONE was just that much more annoying.
I have another Shift on the way to me .. it will be here on Tuesday. I am wondering if there has been any changes to Snap Vue .. other than the original unlocking to full WinMo ..
Anyone ???

Well the phone is also working now, look in the Upgrade section.
And there is rumors about some Chinese people having SD and BT working under WM, but nothing is confirmed yet.
I get OH SO NERVOUS when it comes to doing any upgrades and it seems that when I looked it there last, there was more than one upgrade on the 'menu.' My Shift will be here tomorrow .. gives me some time lay out my coffee and valium and read about where to go next .. Is it a difficult upgrade? All in one, Full winmo & phone ?? As I said, last time I thought about upgrading there were a few and I didn't know which one to use ..

thanks much ... I remember with my first shift [this will be number 3] Modaco didn't have the easy 'liberate.' I printed out all the 'recipe' and followed step by step, using a highlighter as I completed each one. I was afraid that I would brick my computer. With the 2nd shift there was Modaco .. you would think I would be less nervous -- easier and I had already seen how fast people in this forum are to jump in and help if things go bad .. but I was even more uneasy with number 2 than number 1 .. So tomorrow when the new one gets here, I will be a wreck .. Just listen closely .. when you hear 'cluck cluck cluck' in the distance ..that will be me .. the Liberate / Upgrade Chicken
My Shift, number 3, arrived late this afternoon.. Couldn't wait to get home and get liberated !! So far so good !! Then I installed IE and Office and the phone pad .. The pad doesn't com up when I click it .. should it? Or do I need to install something else? This is where I am totally LOST. To install the phone capability, what do I need to do ?? And should I have waited to liberate until after the phone and gps are installed ?? I was looking at the links below and I am totally clueless .. Is there a dummy version of 'what to do next?'
When I click 'settings' on the desktop of winmo .. the only thing in that folder is soft reset and USB tool .. shouldn't there be other things ??
Never mind .. Fixed it ..

Once you liberated,
1. HardSPL it.
2. Update Radio only from this thread. Remember not to use ROM part. There is nothing wrong with this ROM, reason is thaihugo cooked two more ROMs and they make much more sense in my opinion. Pick up one and flash of the three ROMs from the following.
3. Choose either thaihugo's (one of the two ROMs light and heavy) or iOO's ROM. Thaihugo's light one is plain vanilla without office, and SnapVUE but comes with rest of the default software such as phonepad, IE, Network Widget, GPS Blue, task manager etc. Heavy one comes with PointUI2. Light one has more free storage and program area, where heavy one will have lesser than 10 MB of storage and program areas. iOO's ROM comes with SnapVUE interface and Phonepad, IE, Network Widget, GPS Router, soft reset, regedit etc. This has more or less 20 MB of Storage Area and 10 to 12 of Program Area.
Finally don't give up on this shift, because we are this close to SD, BT and may be WiFi.
if you need more help, just PM me and I can help you.

Yes, that is correct if your new Shift is an X9500. If it is a 9501, you already have the gps capability. I had flashed the first rom and radio when it came out and the flashed the iOO rom after that. I have not tried Thaihugo's roms yet as I am now waiting on the bt/sd to be fixed.....which it seems, may be done soon (hopefully)

There's not a lot more i can say really mate. The message is as i have said really. White screen, message along the top and then some rubbish about sending to Microsoft, send or don't send. That's it!
I've had this before, from what I gathered on the net it is something to do with the drawing of the graphics on the screen. The advice I found was to simply turn off Windows Error Reporting so that you can ignore it. Its all I did and it worked for me

That's one solution, yes. However, that it only 'masking' the issue. It'll still remain in the system won't it. All you're doing is like... well, ignoring the fact there is a fault which solves nothing!
Yes, but it's such a minor fault. And after a couple of days of not seeing that annoying message you'll find that you start sleeping well again.
The only other way to get rid of it is to remove recently added programs to see which one caused it, it will only be a minor incompatibility issue.

Results - Orange diagnostics test shows handset as FAULTY based on power test. Replacement arriving tomorrow.
Someone on Orange... do me and yourself a favour... ring 150, option 1, option 3 and tell them from time to time your phone is rebooting every now and then (even if it is not doing this) and could they run a test. I wanna know if they are ALL bugged in some way or another.
The good thing is, if you have any probs with your phone in the future, you can quote them that is was diagnosed as faulty so you have comeback so it's a win-win situation
If you decide to do this and they DO find a fault, great, no problem but if you've personalized your phone, be polite and tell them 'well, i think i'll stick with it another week but you have it on record now anyway eh' and they'll be fine with it.
Honesty eh... damn, what a concept!
Yep, check out my post about GPS problem. Orange said that was a fault and a replacement was sent next day, guess what, I still have the same fault on this one. Hope you have better luck!
