O2 XDA IIs problem...

Hello~ How ya doing ppl? Hope ya r all fine...
I have a PPC O2 XDA IIs and I just hope ya can help me with my problem... I just hope ya can forgive my ignorance about PPC... I bought the PPC with the latest O2 rom with windows mobile 2k3 SE, which I had a lot of problems with the auto hard reset thing... So several months ago I installed a random wm5 rom, that kept reseting by itself but never lost any data so I was happy with that because i didnt have 2 backup and restore all the time... Yesterday, I installed the Helmi Rom AKU 3.2 rom, which I really love this rom cuz made my PPC much faster and has a lot of new stuffs pretty usefull...
The problem I have is that my PPC keeps resetin by itself, even if I'm not using it... The rom works perfectly to me, but even though I dunno why my PPC keeps resettin by itself... I've tried searchin for months and found some answer that are no longer useful for me... Many ppl uninstalled the O2 connect and take out the connection.exe from the startup... But with this rom, I dont have O2 Connect neither I have the connection.exe...
Hope ya can help me, i've been tryin for months tryin to solve this without any luck and I cant buy another model, because in the country where I live they dont sell good PPC...
I really appreciate yar help and ill be lookin forward for yar answer...
Well, Im gonna keep searchin some answers... Thank you...

u havnt jammed anythin in the reset button have u ??? (stupid question i know but i did it got stylus tip stuck in and kept resetting itself)

No, it's not stuck... I rarely reset it by myself... I only did it when I upgraded the ROM... Even though, Im gonna check to be sure~
Thanx for yar answer... Im still searching but its kinda hard~ I really dunno wut 2 do~

Check your battery...if ti's not an original battery you may have this issue. I purchased an extended battery and used with my XDA IIs, worked fine for quite a while and then....boom hard reset...I thought it was the OS / SW / apps - changed all without success. Then after reading on here about issue people were having with non-original batteries I stopped used the extended...resulting in the issue resolving...check out the accessories forum for further info.

Thanx for yar answer... Even though, I have 2 original batteries so I don't think its an battery issue... But, I've been searching and finally found something different... Many ppl were having problems with the Resco Today Plugin, they uninstalled it and they said they made their PPC more stable...
I'm gonna try it, and somedays later I'll let ya know...
*I already uninstalled the Resco Today Plugin... So far, its working perfectly... Maybe it was the same problems were having some users who owns Axim and O2 XDA IIs... I'll let ya know, some days later if its already solved...

do u mean the o2 today plug in????? to get rid of it u can hard reset and set it to corporate and the code is 0506 even though im sure i saw this posted elsewhere......<.<

No, I meant Resco Today Plugin... I already upgraded to WM5, so the O2 Connect its gone...
Even though, I solved my problem... I don't have any resets at all~ Its the same thing with the AXIMs... The only thing ya have to do, is to disable any today plugin that see how much battery left ya have or any kind of stuffs that analize or check yar hardware...
I replaced the Resco Today Plugin with the SPB Pocket Plus, taking out the battery and memory bar...

Pleaseeee.. Any comentary Thanks

Yup, we're all psychic here, and love the challenge of guessing what device and operating system you are using!
Pretty soon, someone with better psychic powers will come along and ruin our fun, but in the meantime...
Have you tried hard resetting to fix it?
If you have, and it's still not working, you may want to take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php and find your device, and in there post the following information:
Is this a new problem?
What did you do to break it?

Thank your for your attention Alan, sorry for my information incomplete, and yes a try soft-reset but still screen show today and coldinit.

I was updating to Black Pro when my PC (running Vista) showed the Blue Screen of death and reset. The upgrade stopped at 43% complete. When the PC restarted, I restarted the Tytn and get the bootloader screen everytime. When I try to run the update, keep getting ERROR 260 - Cannot connect. Am I doomed? Can this be repaired?

I had a similar brick ealrlier this week.

Its the same thread, but with 100+ pages to sort through thought I might try to narrow the search down.
Try looking at post #1102 in that thread. It worked for me.
Good Luck

USB Sync Problem

Hi all,
my TMO-MDAIIIc stopped syncing over usb cable!
I do not have any clue why!
Last thing i remember i installed the OpenVPN-Client!
I did this before on Windows Mobile 5 without problem.. So i presume it's not caused by OpenVPN!
Nevertheless i wonder if anyone has experienced this as well? I tried to connect the device to several computers without even ActiveSync recognizing it. But loading the battery over USB still works!
I also do not get a "Network Interface" if i connect the cable.
I searched several forums and find out there were similar problems, but unfortunately no solution for me...
It seems not to have something to do with the "Notification deleted" problem..
As i can see several replog.exe notifications. Also the one about RS232 Connections... Is there any other Notification missing maybe?
I also tried to play with the USB-to PC option in the settings menu. No effect.
Im totaly clueless i can sync via bluetooth, and irda, and of course wireless (gprs).
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
Syn

My phone stopped working the same as yours about 6 months ago. I recently found out that it was because i charge my phone in my car, which can damage the USB Interface Board in the phone. (usually when you have the phone on charge, and then start the car, causes a spike in the current).
As far as i know, the only way to fix it is to send the phone back to the supplier, who will replace the board under warrenty.
Assuming you have the same problem

Hi, thanks for reply!
could be true! I also charge it in the car frequently... I didn't payd a lot attention to if i plug it beofre starting the car or after...
So my last try now seems to be a "hard-reset".
I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.... If not....
I may need to "downgrade" the phone b4 sending it right?
Cheers!

yeh, its probably a good idea to put the original ROM back on

What's really bugging me is:
Why is it still "loading" the battery after damage to the USB-Circuit??
Anyway.. i did the hardreset, and guess what...
no effect... my problem now is.. if usb stopped working.. how do i flash back to original rom? :->
bluetooth? *shudder*
Cheers!
Syn

hi,
I always clear the option usb to pc.I think this wil solve you problem
settings>connections>usb to pc
Cheers,

yeh, same as me i havent been able to flash a cooked ROM to mine at all. You can change the ROM by using the MicroSD, as long as you are USPL unlocked. There is a section in the Wiki about how to do it.
You cant change the ROM using bluetooth, caus half way thru flashing, whats gonna control the bluetooth??!
The Battery still charges caus the battery charging circuit is seperate to the USB control circuit

Are you guys running XP on your comp/laptop? have you turned off your firewalls? i had problems syncing on my laptop with xp, now i use my comp, but i found if i removed firewalls all was ok. if you have tried reflashing, or if you havent flashed any new software if you have tried re-sinstalling active sync, try the above, im sure its somethign simple

I've tried everything... WinXP, WinXPx64, Win2000, Win Vista, active sync V.3-4.5... the only answer is to send the phone back to T-Mobile, they will fix it under warrenty tho, so it aint so bad.

hi thank you all for your replies!
unfortunately i think mugglesquop is right,
the device died from power overflow from car adapter...
funny thing here is: i use a motorola car adapter all the time! no problems.. then i changed to a tmobile provided adapter! And now it seems that tis one is vulnerable to power highs! Great!
You know what ? I love t-mobile for providing "cheap" "crappy" hardware!
actually im downloading the original rom i found and i will try to flash it back via sdcard. Then i will send it in!
Cheers!
Syn

What rom are you using ?
I had the same problem & i was using B&B4.3. It took me a couple of days of trying before i could get an activesync connection. I then flashed O2's mobile 6 Rom & hey presto everythings working again (now trying different rom). Not sure it was the Rom as only a few people seem to have experienced the problem. So it could have just been a coincidence. Also i would assume that the problem should be instant rather than after a few days of having the rom flashed. Have you tryed jiggling the usb cable about in the phone to try & get a connection ?

HELP- Phone has changed autolock password

I have an XDA IIs recently upgraded to WM6.
I set it up so that after a few mins the password prompt pops up. This stops it from being knocked in my bag etc.
But a few days later and it has decided to change the pass for some reason? And I have no idea what it has set it to.
Is there anyway I can bypass the password screen?
Thanks!
EDIT: If it makes any difference, I guess the battery must've been low, because before the problem happened it had to do a full boot rather than just coming out of standby.

This is a known flaw in WM6. The only solution is to delete the hive. Soft-reset, hold the 2 buttons next to the volume slider until a menu comes up and select yes for the delete hive option. You do not need to format storage, but your registry (hive) will not know about the installed programs so you might choose to format storage as well. If you do both it will just like when you first flashed the ROM and you will have to re-install everything. After doing this do NOT use the built-in password option WM6 gives you, this will happen everytime you remove your battery or it goes dead. There are other locking programs out there that wok instead.
I use S2U2 as do many others to keep the phone "locked" when not in use, it does not use a password, but requires you to slide your finger across the screen to "unlock" it.

Thanks!
That seems to have done the trick.
Bit strange that microsoft haven't bothered patching WM6 to fix this...?
Oh well its sorted now anyways, so thats a relief

It's not been patched by microsoft because it's really not a WM6 problem, it's a 'running a massisvely hack version of WM6 on an old, unsupported device' issue.
Remember, the angel was released some time ago when WM2003 was the latest. These devices were never even considered as an option to run wm6. The fact that Helmi was able to make it run at all is amazing, and really shows just how good he is (I'm assuming Helmi is a male, I've actually never seen anything stating if Helmi has boy or girl wibbly bits ).

yeah...
WM6 really is not made for our BA, there's a thread here regarding your problem.
no sense of saying search first. but im glad someone helped you.
WM6 on our BA? Helmi did miracles to make that happen.
P.S.
actually it's Helmi not Hemli (pardon the correction)
and now that you said that it made me curious too. hmm.... ahaha...
