Hi All
Newbie to these forums, been reading around a lot recently since getting my xda2, particularly since it started playing up. Ive heard a lot about particular ROMS causing trouble and im not really sure whats happening to mine.
Before i start:
1.6.00WWE
02/20/04
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.181
Its freezing all the , soft reset being the only cure. Most of the time its upon device turn on, while typing in the pin, but it can happen anytime. The memory card has been blanked more than once, sometimes reporting that its full, sometimes empty. This morning i was taking a quick snap with the camera and upon closing the camera app it hung. Turned off and on and the thing wiped right before my eyes. Nooooo. Hadnt gotten around to backing up yet
My question is could this be to do with the software i have installed or does it sound more like a fault? I will try running it for a few days now with no extra apps installed but in the meantime, any thoughts folks?
Cheers
did you do some soft of restore of the settings and programs from the older rom ?
if so then it could very well be that causing issues
often backup and restore dont like restoring on a different rom then the one which the backup was taken from
The phone came shipped with that ROM, havent touched anything so far, just installed software from fresh. Anyone else had these kind of troubles?
Yes, I used to have the same problems you describe... And I was under the same ROM version than you!
In my case, my MDA2 worked perfectly for about 4 months when all of a sudden it started acting up.
I did test the machine in factory defaults (no third party applications installed) but sooner than later it hung up several times, and sometimes only a hard reset would make it normal again just to fail again in the next hour or so.
So, out of desperation I decided to install 1.72 ROM Upgrade and voila!, several months now with no problems what-so-ever!!!!
Here's my new Dev. Info:
ROM Version: 1.72.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.12.00
Protocol Version: 1337.21
ExtROM Version: 1.72.104
I even installed the latest SBP Pocket Plus and it's been working just great!
No hang ups, no freezes, no hard-resets...
Best regards,
Rayan
Marvellous!
Being rather new to this game, can i ask what and maybe how i upgrade the ROM? Also, does it matter, the fact that i have an XDA2 rather than an MDA2? What will this change?
I've recently tried a couple of WM6.1 roms on my 838pro (Pays 3.05 full and RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10") and they both work for a while, but after some time (twice in the middle of an installation, but not always) most of my shortcuts stop working, and if I soft reset the device won't boot (doesn't reach windows loading).
Is anyone aware of this happening before, and any way to fix it?
Thank you!
I upgraded to 6.1 and it worked fine, but after a few hours while installing a game it basically did what you described.
Now it won't boot into the OS, what did you do to get an OS workin again?
I figured out how to reinstall WM6.1, I tried another release and it did the same thing. It's weird it works fine until you sync it with a pc and start transfering things, both times it was after transfering from my xp desktop but my Vista Laptop seems to not cause this corruption, i'll keep testing
Have the same problem with a large number of 6.1 OSes. Found yo can sync with your computer BUT only leave it for as long as you'"re doing stuff then disconnct. this seems to stop it stuffing up my phone as the ONLY thing you can do once the OS dies is reload the OS with another flash( had an error message come up saying that a program wsnt signed with a proper cert or some such and it automatically goes back to factory reset). Since only syncing when I need to it seems to not have problems. Just means I need another power point to recharge my hermes. Cheers.
I had the same problem until I loaded CRC's 6.1 V8. I have been running it for about a week with no problems at all. Be sure to delete all devices in Activesync before you connect to use Activesync.

Yeah, that's the only one that's kept working for me so far!
i do suggest that you guys do a check for bad blocks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377389
although i have heard that a rom flash *might* be able to fix bad blocks, dont take my word on that though
with the bad blocks, if you do have it, wouldn't it not matter if you are running wm5, wm6 or wm6.1? they would all crash, mess up eventually?
I will try checking mine for bad blocks, but I didn't have any problems with wm5, upgraded to wm6.1 PAYS, had constant freezes, crashes, hard resets, etc...this was after I installed programs. If I didn't install anything, it would be ok. Although it's not like installed crazy programs, the usual google maps, today agenda, etc... maybe three or four programs.
Now downgraded to wm6, installed more things, no problems. (knock on wood)
it could be possible that you just had a bad flash with the 6.1 rom. or it could be just possible that one of your apps did not agree too well with 6.1. happened to me too, i somehow forgot that i had wm6.1 and installed an app that was not compatible with 6.1
Hi guys... try to search and google for an answer to my problems but cant find the solutions..
problems : let say i turn on my hd2 at 1.00 pm on12/08/10....
and at 1.30 pm on 13/08/10 i turn off the phone and replace the battery with fresh one .. turn it on... the clock will show the time and date as 1.00pm 12/08/10...
time will be reset back to time i on the phone on the first time and it will continue the cycle...
try hard reset but the bugs still there... clear all my apps.. clean phone... bugs still there....
my phone using stock ROM 1.48,702... everything is stock...
itsx all start after i do some tweaking & installing apps which i hv uninstall now.. but the problemis still there,,..
Anybody have this problems before.. ? any idea / tips for the problems.. thks guys and sorry if this repeating Q ...
Same here, tried hard reset or flash another rom but the problem still here...
Any ideas
Will it be a hardware issue?? Pls help!!
no one know?
HTC service Center advised the following :
1. Take out sim card and storage card to eliminate the error tht maybe caused by this 2 items... i've done it... and restart... walaaa... like a charm it works...
But on fine fine day i install cab file... then the old problem again haunted my hd2...
tried the above methods.. this its no longer worked..
Fed-up, i just let it be like that... then on one fine day.. I install another cab file... CHT and CHT Editor to be exact... walaaa... the old problem eliminated.. hv install/uninstall few cab file after tht (analog clock cab file).. so far everything still ok..
I would like to refresh this topic.
It started to happen to me like month ago from no special reason. I use SD Android build, so with every restart to go back to WM, time/date changes from couple minutes to couple weeks to both directions.
Hard reset did not help. Another ROM flashed did not help.
It seems to occur only when rebooting Android -> WM. WM -> WM reset direction mostly OK. Battery-out almost always changes time/date.
Just a thought: Is there any kind of "CMOS battery" like in PC motherboards, that can be weak/broken in the HD2?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

I've got the same problem using Omega rom v30. It's solved easily enough by using sptimesync to get the exact time. What's your rom? I'm gonna flash and see if anything changes
My ROM is:
WM- HD2O
Android - MccM HD V6
This is also happening to me. It's happened before and it somehow corrected itself, but it's really annoying me at the moment. Any ideas as to the cause? Running WM6.5 ROM, stock 3.14. Not running android at all.
Hi all, I have a strange problem during the calls.
The call start normally but then a buzz-noise starts, at this point I cannot ear anymore the other person. I can end the call, but still the noise is there. The phone doesn't seem blocked. The buzz is unstoppable until I reset the phone and restart. This problem happens quite often and so my phone is quite unusable...
I have these versions:
build: 21876.5.0.72
software: 5005.0001.76
SP-00
RIL 1.0
radio: 5001.0001.76
If someone has the same problem or know how to solve, I will appreciate the help.
Thanks

Try a custom rom. Flash it with better radio roms that are available on this forum. If you haven't flashed your phone before, please read the instructions in the TG01 Rom section's sticky carefully. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654674
I had similar problem with Orange rom and after flash, I have never had any so called call issues.

yes I already flashed it the same day I bought it. It was with the french Orange version, so I changed to the uk Orange version. I was thinking to try a custom rom but I am afraid to have then more instability respect to the official one.
I can say that the quality of the call when there is not the strange buzz-noise is good.
What type of ROM can you suggest? I mean a stable and robust one.
Thanks
Ivan
If you want to stick to just a neat rom with most programs removed, so that you can customize by adding cabs yourself - go for FFBoy's or miRoM
If you want something sense based - Aragon's rom or StonRom.
If you want to be adventurous and try something different - StonRom's maker Leeston, has put out couple of roms which are not very stable, but usable. You can also try miRom's hybrid rom which has spb shell, sense etc all mixed up.
There are plenty of sense roms out there by Aragon, FFboy, miRom, Leeston that I have used and I like.
I personally don't find any of the sense roms stable as there is an issue with HTC messaging and sometimes wireless. I haven't seen any solution to HTC messaging till date. Hence I have stopped using them.
I like Leeston's roms that are not Sense based. But they are being tweaked by Leeston to make them better, so you might not call them 'stable' just yet.
I am currently using miRom's clean stock rom. I had plenty of space so I have installed about 23 cabs on it to customize by my needs - even after that it's fast, stable, no-freeze, no hard resets needed, plenty of available memory and very usable.

yes I prefer stability in a phone, thinking also to the emergency call. Thinking that the phone could freeze during an emergency call, make me unconfortable.
I will try a clean rom.

Good luck mate! I hope it works out well for you.
It's real annoying when phones stop working as phone but more like iPhone!
Also, through experience radio 1600/1700 work better. But depends on network provider. For me 1600 is better than 1700.

I was thinking to have solved the problem, but not. I installed both the mirom4 and the mirom8 but the same call problem (both with radio 1700). The mirom8 is perfect, but I cannot use the phone. I first buyed this phone with the french language and win 6.5.0 so I tryed to install back an official toshiba rom with the french language and it works . The phone works. With the official english version it doesn't work. The radio of this version is the 5001.0201.76 and the build of the system is 21876.5.0.72 exactly as the english version but only the radio is different.
Could someone explain me why it works only with the french operating system?
An other test! I installed the spb shell 3.5.5 on the french operating system and the phone makes the same problem....
Deinstalling it, and only after an hard reset the phone works again.
Why the hard reset is necessary, what are the components of the spb shell that can cause the problem?
At this point I believe it is a software problem...
To describe better the problem I saw that when the audio freeze during the conversation, if I try to modify the volume settings the window with the volumes appears but I can see only the system volume while the phone volume is a black empty space. The phone is responsive for a while, then it crash completely and only after a soft reset it restars.
It is a big big problem

When you say miROM8 is perfect but you cannot use the phone - does it mean, it doesn't flash properly or it keeps freezing? or does it only have call issues? I remember miROM talking somewhere about different language issues in his posts, I will try and dig into it. I am sure there is some sort of solution for language issues with roms and SPB Shell too - just hang in there.
I am presuming it's an radio issue now. But there is a way to change radios irrespective of what rom you install. its here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699764

With Mirom8 the system is fast and stable and the issue of the call that freeze happens only after some minutes (2-3 minutes). With mirom4 instead the problem is quite simultaneus at the start of the call (less than one minute). Mhmm I am not sure if it is a radio issue. If it is a radio issue, why the french version stopped to work when I installed the spb shell? Does the spb shell modify the radio files?? I was more thinking to a windows problem. But I am completely ignorant about this system and how it works.
I could try the italian radio, but I am starting to be afraid that I will never find a stable solutuion. I am thinking it is a software problem, but I cannot exclude an hardware failure of my system.

I don't think SPB will have any effect on radios. Try Miro's solution, it will work. Did you see if your SPB version has got correct language? There is some sort of registry edit too, regarding SPB shell - it comes in many languages. However, let's not go into reg edit just yet, if Miro's solution will solve it for you.
Also one important thing - are you flashing the rom correctly? i.e. hard reset after the flash by holding volume up + camera + power? It makes a huge difference by doing so. If it doesn't work, try flashing stock rom, then hard reset, then miROM8 then hard reset, then spb shell and then soft reset - this might solve if it's silly bug!
Good luck

Hi guys I quoted only one answer but I thanks all of you. So I think that your suggestions are good. I must try to create a rom with the radio that presumably could work with the rest that I like. I made the hard reset every time I flashed a new rom. So what I can do is to make the hybrid rom and then flash it on the phone after the stock rom making an hard reset every time.
Ok I will try, I like this little piece of tecnology
Hi all, so an update to the situation. I tried to install the radio 5001.0300.76 on the mirom8, but after the installation i choosed the spb shell as interface without trying a first call on the fresh installation.
I made a tentative after the installation of the spb shell and I was unable to make a call longer than 30 seconds.
So I used the rom 5001.0201.76 from the french rom in the mirom8. This time I tried to make a call without setting the spb shell as interface but using first the windows interface.
It worked!!! I was able to make a call!
Then I tryed to use the spb shell and the same problem! The call was freezing.
So I tried with the HTC interface and it is working!
I don't know if with the radio 5001.0300.76 could work. I think yes. But for the moment I will keep this version.
The only thing is that I prefer the spb shell and not the HTC but for now I am happy to have a working phone.
I am wondering, what is the cause of this failure? Is my phone buggy? I mean the hardware of my phone in theory is the same of yours, so why I am not able to run all the roms?

First of all, I am so glad you can now use your phone as a phone!
Secondly, I think it's something to do with bugs left from your installation.
I would even advice you another flash process : This one has ALWAYS worked for me, when I thought I had bugs that won't go with hard reset. I don't know if 'bugs left after hard reset' theory is true technically, but for me it works. Try the following:
Get the phone back up so that you don't have to look for contacts.
You can also get a program called - XDA_UC - it's brilliant piece of work. Put all your cabs for this program as instructed and you won't ever have to worry about installing cabs after flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6928610#post6928610
Once you are ready, hard reset your phone. Then get miROM4 http://www.miromworld.webs.com/ to flash on it. Hard reset etc after flash. Then install clean SPB SHELL on this miROM4 - it works like charm. If you want customization, use MSkip's Ultimate Elegance V2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5373943&postcount=1715
and you will never not love your phone. Just remember to edit the radio in miROM4 before you flash. I have got this on my phone and it works fast, stable, beautiful, accessible and fun!
Hope this helps.

I am also interested in android on our phone. I saw that they are quite succeding in booting the kernel. I would also try this, becasue at work I am using linux and I am programming under linux.
Having linux on our phone could be very useful.
Thanks I will try the procedure you suggested!
Ciao

I am using Linux on my laptop at home too! I can't say how excited I am to use linux. I wish I could know more about linux, but I've just ditched Windows about 2 months back. So I am a very newbie with no idea to linux cmd line but only GUI. If you need tester for anything please let me know.

eh eh eh no no quiet! I am saying I would try the kernel that the guys in toshdroid are implementing now. I am using linux since more than 15 years. But using and programming under linux is a different thing than the ability to make reverse enginering on a complex device as our phone. It is a very complex job.
But I want try to boot the kernel that the toshdroid developers are testing
For now I am enjoing the working phone

First of all, I am so glad you can now use your phone as a phone!
Secondly, I think it's something to do with bugs left from your installation.
I would even advice you another flash process : This one has ALWAYS worked for me, when I thought I had bugs that won't go with hard reset. I don't know if 'bugs left after hard reset' theory is true technically, but for me it works. Try the following:
Get the phone back up so that you don't have to look for contacts.
You can also get a program called - XDA_UC - it's brilliant piece of work. Put all your cabs for this program as instructed and you won't ever have to worry about installing cabs after flash - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6928610#post6928610
Once you are ready, hard reset your phone. Then get miROM4 http://www.miromworld.webs.com/ to flash on it. Hard reset etc after flash. Then install clean SPB SHELL on this miROM4 - it works like charm. If you want customization, use MSkip's Ultimate Elegance V2

and you will never not love your phone. Just remember to edit the radio in miROM4 before you flash. I have got this on my phone and it works fast, stable, beautiful, accessible and fun!
Hope this helps.

After some days of work, I was quite happy, but today the same problem. I was on a call and suddelny the crash. No SPB shell, no other software installed. I will try as last tentative the procedure of flash different times with the master clear. If then I will have the same problem I will send back the phone. At this point I cannot exclude that my phone is buggy in the hardware
