I have a UK M5000 and updated the ROM to the new Orange ROM without problem. It was still slow so I plunged for the upgarde to the Dopod ROM. Since I did this it crashes all the time. Sometimes I can reset it sometimes I have to take the battery off. After a bit it won't even boot at all!
Despite all this I am always able to get to bootloader and reflash it. I have since tried the QTEK ROM and even back to the Orange ROM but now it still is unstable. Is there any known reason for this that I can try.
PS tried task format commands and mtty stuff as most of the time after a crash it sticks at the splash screen in all ROMs.
PPS IT NEVER did any of this before even after the first Orange ROM upgrade.
ANy help much appreciated.
Thanks
James
Not sure if you've cured this by now but I am a UK Orange user with SPV M5000 and went ahead with Dopod upgrade wihout any problems.
Presume you tried Hard Resetting, formatting card etc?
I have the same problem... It starts 2 days ago... Its terrible!
I have T-mobile. Now i flashing with original T-mobile ROM and i hope that everything will be ok.
If anybody knows whats happend???
I thought that the problem is on hardware...
30 minutes ago i flashed with latest I-mate ROM and when after flashing i do hard reset nothing happend. I see black screen and thats all!!!
Yes! With T-mobile ROM it seems to be ok. Now i try to flash with I-mate ROM again.
May be the problem is in the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe"?...
MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
I find out that there are some issues with this file. Is this the same file we used to use during upgrade/change language??? If yes, than why when I tried to dawnload from the buzz web side i find that there said that the file is 365kb but when you dawnload the file is 165 and that is why some people are having problems when upgrade their rom or change operators/languages.
So if I want to change language it sais that you shoul run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and than I see in the picture of Magician. Is this NORMAL and should I go forward or WHAT.
Flashing with T-mobile original ROM didn't resolve the problem...
It's still bad...
What the hell is going on with my Universal???
Sorry to start a new thread but i just want to inform everybody. Mapking unable to load is because of the radio. Just flashed 1.34 and now mapking load. using black pro 2.0. flash radio 1.34 at wiki using autodetection mode. i am on latest hard spl. So faster flash your radio and finally mapking load. thanks for shogun, jj, lswv, xda-developers.com. My hermes finally rocks!
I got the same problem with mapking R10 and 2007! but now i use Radio 1.40 and i want not to downgrade to 1.34! any other solution? maybe we can modify the mapking.exe file ! thank!

Just like to feedback, i had the same problem.
Was on 1.43.00 radio and couldn't get Mapking 2007 or Mapking R12 to load. Only Mapking G10 worked. There's this popup with alot of boxes (i assume its a Chinese and appears as boxes) when you try to start.
I downgraded to 1.38.00 (Orange) and voila! It worked
I wonder how the radio would have affected Mapking but nevertheless, it's fixed for now.
I can't seem to get G10, G12 or 2007 working with Radios 1.38-1.43. Can anyone care to help? I am using Black Majic
Totally difference! I can use mapking on all roms i cooked since wm6 vanilla till black magic and radio 1.38-1.43. till now, it still works!
_______________
Black Majic
Radio v1.43.00.30
SuperCID
SPL 2.10.Ol
darn! i am not sure what's the problem at all. i tried to install mapking after a hard reset and it still does not seem to work
still can't seem to work with it. garmin que works fine. very very strange. only seems to work with 1.38 radio with older than black 2.0 WM6
any other tips to get it working? i keep getting back to "Programs" after the splash screen
I never have any problem with MK2007 with some of the rom I tested so far.
Please delete this double post. Connection was slow and ended up double posting. Sincere apology...
after extensive reading on xda-developers. i realised the mapking problem is due to sd card. they suggest format the sd card. But i already format. so this this time i fast format my sd card to Fat32 again then i slow format it again. now mapking successfully load. thanks everybody

thanks bro. i will try this tip.
Yeah! It's nothing to do with the radio versions. I'm successfully using Mapking 2007, Garmin Mobile XT and Franson GPSGate 2.5 inside Dopod WM6 official with Radio 1.47.
Bingo!!!!! The mapking2007 is works again on my HTC Diamond, Thanks a lot.
P.S. Don't use your desktop pc diskeeper to do defragment on your PPC. It would cause the above problem.
so strange, my Mapking2007 didn't let me switch the map.
hi there,can i know where can i download a full version of mapking?with malaysia sabah map,can some 1 just pm me if got the link?thanksin advance.......
Hi Guys,
I have been playing around with versions of BB and WM and now I think I have crashed it! The last version installed was 3.7, and it was switching on, but now when I did a re-set, the HTC Screen loaded, but the phone has been stuck on the Windows Mobile Screen for the last hour (I have tried loading without the SD card as the last thing I did was to install TomTom). Obviously I have no ActiveSync connection therefore i cannot flash the rom to the official WM6 Uprade.
Any ideas what todo now!.
Thanks
Hello over there,
I had the same problem with B&B 4. I think you have to hardreset your phone.
Hi, Thanks for the Reply, I just got the XDA so not quite sure how to do the Hardreset! Cheers
I managed to find it! but its still not working! its just the same as before!
it took a few trys but all ok now!!! thanks!
I have this problem too
I have this problem too,
WM6 Dopod P800w offiicial rom
Is stuck on Welcome screen WM screen, i had already HR for three times. for this problem
Very mad...
I'm opening this thread to find out the answer as to why the Hermes freezes or lockups on WM6.1. It gives you no other option but to soft reset. Unfortunately, it stays on your second splash screen after a soft reset; so, you will resort only to hard reset your device.
In some cases, it even causes to hard reset your device without warning after a freeze. It's not how long you use the device... it's what you are using most frequently.
In my observation over the last two weeks, it freezes in the following occasion:
1. restoring messages using dotFred PIM Backup
2. introducing exchange server settings
3. frequent closing and opening of SMS application
4. frequent sliding in/out of keyboard
To single out the problem, I have not introduced any changes to the ROM or even installed CABs. I am merely trying to use the base ROM like I used to with WM6.
I have tried various ROMs todate: Schapps, PDA viet, TNT, No ROM maker, Faria's and they all result to sudden system fault in the two Hermes that I have in my possession. I figured, this must be a 6.1 thing, but I noticed that it has not been given attention.
So, let us hear your freeze and hard reset problems on WM6.1 guys!
the only rom that hasnt froze on me has been CRC's rom. All the others seem to suffer from this weird problem.
After so many testing, one more would not hurt thanks for the feedback. Will give it a try.

I have semilar issue and now the problem is solved. please click on my signature below why did I go back to official ROM for the detail threat.
same here
i even got my device changed since i thought it was a hardware problem.
it only happens on wm6.1 though, so as much as i like the added speed and threaded sms, flashing the original wm6 rom fixed it and from there im going to keep to wm6.0 - it worked quite nicely.
I suspect (a lot) of bigstorage or some bug on the write-to-internal-rom cache/buffer (if exists) associated to any app that writes to fast to the ROM.
I notice when I use anything on SD card that nothing bad occurs but if I use the internal mem (SMS, internal apps, etc) it freezes all the time.
I had these issues until I used mtty.exe to clean up some bad blocks and then flashed Faria R32, since then no more issues (though opera 9.405 sometimes will freeze my hermes).
I had the same problem until I flashed the offical AT&T WM6 rom with radio and then flashed back to wm6.1..
No freezes or hard resets since..
I don't think this is a big storage issue... if it were, wm6.1 in other similar devices like the trinity would have suffered the same fate, but it doesn't.
I really don't see the point of going back to an ATT official ROM before flashing 6.1. But a lot has said that they no longer have this issue after doing so, then it must be RUU related.
It might also mean: a full ROM flashing for 6.1 might be necessary.
Either way, I'll continue testing, but it would be nice if other guys with this issue will be willing to help test it...
I just made some digging, and just found out how some wm6.1 users get their freezes/lockups. There issue was due to radio compatibility.
hmmm... if the WM6.1 ROM was built with OEM from the AT&T Official, then the radio that best match for it is from the AT&T as well.
This might explain that flashing the AT&T official prior to flashing the wm6.1 sets the radio to AT&T.
Hope this will solve the freeze/lockup mystery.
Have any of you guys tried changing/switching RADIO ROM while in WM6.1?
I just did, trying to experiment. Prior to WM6.1, I loaded an Official Dopod WM6 ROM. Then I loaded the Faria-R32 Full version.
Although, I did not have freezes on the first day of testing... I decided to switch to Radio 1.54 since most users flashed the AT&T Official prior to flashing WM6.1. Guess what? It flashed successfully and boot successfully for the first time. However, when I make a call, the audio has a very poor quality. So, I reset it using the reset button just to clear it up; however, it hanged on first screen... then I reset one more time, it hanged on 2nd screen, then I reset again, it hanged on WM screen.
Enough of it, so, I loaded back 1.47.0.10, and I'm back in business? No. The switching of the Radio ROM has caused the ROM to be corrupted... Somehow, the RADIO has something to do with the freezing...
WM 6.1 ROMs are very unstable (Faria, TNT, etc. I tested several, including those "naked" or clean)
After I install some (useful) software like HTC Home and some other 2-3 programs and after some hours it froze (it did with Faria, TNT, etc). TNT´s WM6.1 is a little more stable (takes longer to froze) but Faria´s WM6.1 is faster.
The more we use the internal flash memory, the faster it frozes and requests a hard reset. Since Friday I hard rebooted some 20x (Faria + TNT roms).
I´ll go back to WM6.0 for now.
EDIT: I installed my radio rom after the last main rom and works very well (I update all roms from the SD card). I updated before and after the main rom (but it never got corrupted) and they frozed. In my case nothing to do with the froze.
I nearly advised my friend to send for service thinking a big hardware problem. Thanks as now I know it's not the phone itself .
Hello,
I had the same problem when 6.1 came out on all 19199.0.7.0 builds. For me the solution was to update to a ROM using build 19199.1.0.0. Since then I had no hard resets at all (I am running CRCs PHK v12 Release 9 for about 2 weeks now).
Maybe this works for you as well.
Cheers,
Uli

I don't think it's the way it's accessing the memory; otherwise, other devices would have suffered the same fate. So far, only the hermes suffer the freezing syndrome which means that there is something in the hermes that is not fully compatible with the WM6.1 build.
did you try to flash the AT&T build prior to flashing the wm6.1 build?

I was hoping someone would release the 19202.1.0.0 build since it has the updated GWES...
After 24hours with Faria-R32 Clean version. I did not have any freezing syndrome. This is after I flashed with a Dopod Official ROM. I only got the freezing syndrome by flashing 1.54 Radio ROM.
My next move is to use a different RUU for flashing.
My Faria 6.1 also hard-resets and locks up
I had just recovered from a previous hard reset and read all posts in this thread and the other one currently dealing with this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370185), and had gone down to a previous ATT radio rom and switched off SD power management out of desperation, when my Hermes locked up again. This time, however, after two soft resets (stylus induced) I managed to get it running again. Everything seemed to be in the previous state (all my preferences had been preserved), but I found that all contacts, history and calendar items had gone.
I had installed no other software than the network wizard. I had recovered most information from Outlook and the rest from Pimbackup (which by the way keeps crashing when restoring speed dials in 6.1).
As this must be the 6th hard reset in 6 days, I think I'm going back to Schap's good old 6.0 and wait for a solution.
BTW Don't take me wrong: I'm extremely grateful for all the great work done by the various cooks.
Lockups
I thought I was going crazy;my 8525 would lock up an have to be soft reset and when it came back, the contacts would all be gone.
I use Yahoo!Go to sync my contacts. I use Photo Contacts Pro for my contacts manager. I was trying to figure out if it was either of those causing the problem.
I even have a thread going on Microsoft's windows mobile forum about this.
I get NO answers from anyone. I'm running Schaps 4.30 OS and Radio 1.54.07.00. I have a 2gb sd card that I run a few apps from.
You just described the same problem I have. Thank you for confirming my limited sanity!!!

If i could get hold of the 19202 source I would probably post a clean naked version for testing....but alas no such luck. Naturally it would help had i got a source for new ROM builds lol!

I totally agree with you... when I cooked ROMs for the XDA Atom, I didn't want to work with none official ROMs because I wouldn't know what has been altered in the adopted device.
Hi after doing research via browsing through the forum entries particularly the Locking and Freezing threads WM6.1 and Google. I am still scratching my head. My friend has a Hermes 100 device TYTN Mk1 (HTC). It had a not for resale test rom on it. I SuperCID and HardSPL'ed it and put schnaps 4.31 on it but it kept freezing and after countless soft resets and hard reset I decided to revert to WM5 HTC Build.
This was stable, I had read in the locking thread about installing an official rom first before trying cooked roms. I did this and then tried schnaps again. Once upgraded the locking problem occured again. I then Put AT&T WM6 on and that did not freeze. So I tried again but this time I tried FARIA & Dr P's WM6.1 but same result locking freezing.
The unit does not have a SD card installed. All flashes were successful. Is there something that Official ROM's have that cooked roms are missing? Also is my friend doomed not to have WM6 on his hermes?
Adviced need
Thank You
Thomas
Ive been using a herm100 for the past year now. never had a problem with wm6. i upgraded to 6.1 when i cooked my own and still no problem where others are. one theory to do with 6.1 is the radio rom. Im using 1.50.00.00. Id suggest trying that with a good 6.1 rom and if it doesnt work i reckon it could be something wrong with the phone. Let me know how you get on and good luck.
