Plese Help.....Blocked at the WM6 welcome screen

Thanks in advance,
I'm using the TNT 2.0 rom for hy hermes......I've been using the rom for a while with no prob. Today, I had to do a soft reset...my hermes stockes at the WM6 home screen page and does not want to acces windows.....What should I do....
Thank you fo the help.

i'm using spl2.10

sounds like you might have to do a 'hard reset'.
this will reset your ppc back to the base TNT rom you installed, so you'll have to reload everything you've put on since.
to perform a hard reset, hold down both left and right soft keys at the same time and stick the stylus into the hole in the bottom (where you'd do a soft reset) all at the same time.
to help you find out which program might be causing you problems, it's a good idea to load them one at a time and soft reset after each install.
good luck!

it should be a 3rd party caused this, what did you install??

Thanks for the help,
I did a hard reset....by holding the green and the red ( on / of ) phone and the soft reset....nothing, I did not load any 3rd party software....
it loads the 1st TNT screen where we see the arabic words...then it turn to the WM6 welcome screen and it stays there.....does not want to load window.....
Thanks for the assistance
PS. it happend when I did a soft reset this morning.....I'm using TNT form almost 3 weeks now.

I've seen the same thing on my Hermes, nothing installed. After 5 or 6 reboots, it hangs and that is the ball game.
I'm sorry I cannot offer any more information than that

is this means that my Tytn is gone. ! ! !
Can't I bypass the WM6 welcome screen and enter a ' safe mode' so I can
re-flash it?
Thanks for your assistance
PS. It's true, I just remembered that 2 weeks ago, I installed Skype as a thrid party

problem with tap screen?

Hey, so I bought a 8525 cingular(at&t) yesturday. The guy sold it to me cheap because he said when he upgraded it to the vp3... somethin which is WM6 the touch screen didnt work anymore. But he was able to get passed the, "TAP THE SCREEN TO SET UP YOUR WINDOWS MOBILE-BASED DEVICE" screen in the beginning. I was wondering if anyone would know how to get the tap screen up and running again. I flashed the whole ROM, I upgraded the radio, & installed WM black Satin. But its stuck at that tap the screen ****, and my tap screen still doesnt work.. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe Downgrade to WM5 would work? anything I could try would be great.
Respond ASAP if you guys can, this is my only phone, and need it to make calls. Thanks

If a reflash of rom doen't help then I'm guessing you need to send it in for service. Don't think any other software will do any good at all.

temp solution at least
put a blank file called "welcome.not" in the root of your storage card. In this way the whole thing gets passed by when you hard reset or flash new ROM.
you may later try to align screen using buttons or I can make you a cab for that.
cheers,
dan

Hey Dan1967 I would appreciate it if you could make me a cab for the alignment. I had tried that without the cab file, but your right, I doesnt work without a mod. Also, where exactly would I drop the welcome.not filel for this all to work?

it is written in my message where to put the file...
do that and if you can not realign by buttons than your touch is indeed useless, but the device may still used with some reduced functionality

Try this link. Im 100% sure you can bypass the screen alignment.

where is my storage device located. R u referring to my microSD chip?

does anyone here think it could possibly be the touch.dll.. maybe when the dude upgraded to WM6 the touch.dll file got corrupted. Any info on this could help. And if someone does thinks this happened. How would I go about reinstalling the touch.dll

thanks for the link .. i was stuck with having my iPaq hard reset & my touchscreen not working .. this helped..

Removing o2 theme from O2 XDA IIs

Hi Guys...
This is going to amke me sound like a right noob...
I have an O2 XDA IIs, but need to remove the O2 theme from it as i have unlocked it and put a different flavour of Sim Card in it.
When i bought th phone it didn't have the O2 theme on it, but them the battery ran flat and when it reloaded after being charged...It had the O2 Theme on it.
Any Advices would be apreciated.
Cheers Guys

Hard reset the device and when it boots up sit with it, at the end of the customisation it will offer a screen to install personal mode or Corporate mode, select Corporate mode and enter the numbers 0506 as the password, this will stop the device loading all that useless crap on to it.
Make sure you sit with it though as the default is to time out and install personal mode thus putting the crap on the phone - Mike

bring this back to life...
ok...i tried to hard reset the phone following instructions i found elsewhere...
but i cant get it to hard reset...
anyone got any advice...that isn't smash it with a hammer or throw it out the windew?
Its on its last chance now...getting fustrated with it!
Please help..
Thanks.

since it's WM2003(se)...
just take out the main battery and leave the backup battery to drain.
it will eventually hard-reset.

iMate 9502 & 8502 WM 6.1 WWE Telstra 1.73 ROM

Hey guys,
Long time member, but first time poster . I got some good news for you iMate users out there. I was able to get the new WM 6.1 ROMs for both the iMate Ultimate 8502 and 9502, though I was told these were still considered beta ROMs. They are for the Australian market I assume as the Telstra logo displays on the boot up.
I've been using it on my 9502 for the past day or two and it seems to have fixed the following issues:
SDHC is supported now
MS Voice Command is working
GPS does not have to be turned on manually anymore
Camera program memory leak seems to be fixed. I will have to do more testing.
Ongoing issues:
Free Program Memory is still 33 MB after a hard reset
The ROM also seems to fix alot of software compatibility issue I was having. Like some of my SPB software that I normally use is now working without any freezes or heavy slowdown. It also seems to run a bit faster, especially when you slide out the keyboard. Anyways, give it a try. Hope this helps.

iMate 9502 : http://rapidshare.com/files/129807567/Ultimate_9502_V.01.73_NO_CP.rar.html

Great! Thank you!

Nice.
I went to run the update but it requires a "ROM unlock code"
Anyone know what that is?
Thanks
Dave

Re: ROM unlock code
You may find the code printed on the box you have bought the device in or on www.imate.com after you have registered your imate.

Has anyone run this beta as yet ? Keen to see what the opinions are. If WM6.1 doesn't make the device any more stable then ebay here we come which is a real pity I must say.

Just installed and it works better but yet to install my other software. GPS is missing from the wireless manager but I assume that is because GPS is now always active.
Now there is about 50mb free after hard reset. Might be some more once I get rid of the other start up shortcuts.
BTW I have an 8502 and thanks to the OP. Looks like we may be into a winner here, finally............

There it is!!! Thanks! Sheesh iMate is tough :-\

Got it up to 6.1 and it is true the GPS is good to go without a turn-on.
However, with this rom I am NOT able to launch iGo 06 or iGo8. Anyone else have this issue and/or a solution? Note: It was working on the old rom.
Thanks

Please help me....
I have i-mate 8502
I did the upgrade BUT before it I lounched Sprite Backup to save all phone data and settings.
After ugrading to WM 6.1 I lounched Sprite Backup again and... now I have only i-mate blue screen (i-mate sign on it) and phone doesn't go any further....
I would flash it again but my pc doesn't see it now at all.
Maybe you know some way to bring my i-mate back to life?
Please help.... Did i brake it?

Not sure why Sprite would cause that for you. I installed Sprite backup NP. I even, backed up, hard reset and restored with Sprite and not even an error.
Still can't get iGo to work though. I doubt anyone here has an 8502 WM6.0 ROM ??? At this point I would rather go back if I can't use iGo :-(
-D

Taking battery out for 3 hours didn't work...
What else can I do?
Help please...

BIG Problem
Hi,
I've run the upgrade program and it worked fine until the first reset... Now I see the message "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again"... I did this 10 times and nothing... I keep getting the "Connect fail" message from the setup file... The problem is that Active Sync dosen't see anymore the phone connected and I don't think it can anymore... that message seem to be from the bootstrap program or something like that...
Please help...

After Flashed with the new ROM, My Device is now stuck in iMate Blue Screen Logo....!!!
But Don't worry Guys...it can be solved with manually hard Reset...
1. Remove battery and reinsert (to make sure the phone is off).
2. Hold down Fn and the Green button (with the phone icon on it) and press the power button.
3. You will see the white hard reset option screen almost immediately. Press the Left Soft Key to hard reset.
Work for me...

Can someone post another link? The original is not working at the moment. Thanks in advance

imate 8502
OK, I got an XP machine and did the upgrade, went smoothly in about 15 minutes.
Overall I would say it is a worthwhile improvement.
Changes/improvements:-
* PIE scrolling fixed - much smoother, now with zoom
* PIE doesn't freeze any more
* Auto GPS enabling is nice
* Camera seems to start faster
* Threaded SMS is really good (and MMS is integrated now into one account)
* Seems to now stop notifying "SMS Sent"
* Overall perf seems better
* Wireless manager is simpler (I hated the old "solar system" UI)
* Phone settings includes Network Time setting and "battery saver" HSPA setting
* Can change default phone number (w, h, m) from the phone contacts app
Things not fixed:
* Voice call volume appears to be the same
* Select and hold with center button on email attachments still tries to open them (instead of offering to save like every other PPC I have used)
Not tested:
* SDHC support - I don't have a card
Best of all is that it appears to not have introduced any new bugs (fingers crossed).
I am sure I have spoken too soon ...
One thing I did notice was SPB Backup 2.0 stops the phone from rebooting successfully (just stays on Windows Mobile screen forever) if you have scheduled backups on. Seems as if it doesn't like something in the notification queue - so just backup manually. Not sure if scheduled backups on SPB Backup 2.0 worked properly in 6.0?

I have the same issue with the "Please reconnect to PC and run the upgrade again" message. Unfortunately, the reset doesn't help. As soon as you press the power button that message comes up. I think if we got that message, we've bricked it

You may be right but in the spirit of trying everything you:-
1) PRESS AND HOLD "Fn and Green" buttons
2) WHILE KEEPING THEM PRESSED press and release the reset hole with stylus
3) CONTINUE HOLDING the Fn and Green buttons until the white reset options screen appears
Fingers crossed for you - if this doesn't work then you are right, time to send it back.

Press both buttons above the green call and red hangup key poke your stylus to the reset hole. all together, and you will get a screen. look at the wiki please.

Or simply go to start>settings>system>clear storage>1234>ok.

Thank you you guys !
