P3300 keeps rebooting (endless)

The other day my P3300 was somewhat slow and I decided to give it a soft reboot. Ever since it keeps on rebooting. It reaches the phase where you may enter your pincode but when it wants to load the user interface it reboots again.
Sometimes I have luck and after 5 loops or so it finally gets into full WM5.
If I remove the SD card the problem dissappears. So I expect it's the card (which never corrupt(ed/s) on me).
Another option would be it has run out of main memory. I'm a little short on that one. Would it reboot if memory was too low?
I think a hard reset or format of the SD card would solve it but that is the easy way. I want to know the reason so it won't happen again.
HTC P3300 T-mobile Compact III
2GB Sandisk microSD
WM5 and updates original as a danish virgin
I installed the Artemis SD patch

I had this a few times and the only way around it was a hard reset followed by a recovery of the phone from SPB backup.
It always seemed to follow me installing software, but never the same application so I thought it had corrupted something in the startup. You can try booting without the card installed and it should be OK, then you may be able to work out what app ./ reg entry is causing it.
HTH

I rebooted without card and it worked
i put the sd card in my cardreader and defaced some .exe's in my autorun folder (the 2527 folder). Than it worked again. Until... a few days ago it started all over again.
did the same procedure but there was no .exe anymore in the autorun folder.
I dont want to do hard reset. Do you guys have any clue if i can see in the register what it tries to run?
it's defenitely one program doing this. It boots straight into WM5 and is responsive but after let's say 3 seconds BOOM there it reboots again.

Mine did the same, deleted a few folders from the storage card Program Files\ folder, think from memory the progs causing mine to reboot were CE Converter Pro, Pocket Weather & E Wallet Pro, but as already mentioned it can be any number of different programs, I didn't delete any reg entries, just the actual folders on the memory card, it seems to be a common problem I a very serious bug as far as I'm concerned, definitely one that needs addressing.

Constant Rebooting?????!!!!

ok, I'm really angry... Sometimes when I reset my phone, it starts rebooting over, and over, and over, and over, and over.... Aarrghhh!!!!
Make it STOP!!!! Anyone else get this?

search and you will find

Okay, I did a search and this info is Not easy to find.
Here is what to do:
Yank out the battery, the storage card, whatever it take to get the phone to finish booting.
Navigate with ActiveSync, Resco Explorer or Total Commander to Windows/omap850_sdhc.dll -- rename this file to omap850_sdhc.dll.old
reboot
when you reboot it will reinstall the drivers to your storage card and everything will be fine again.
Happy New Year.

Too bad this doesn't work for the Excalibur. The file is in ROM and cannot be edited.

Try this. Since we can't edit the file.
Just reboot without the SD card. Which should result in a succesful reboot.
Once the device is running, insert the SD card which should prompt the driver to reinstall, and you'll find the reboot after that is fine.
At least this has worked for most of he people I've talked to that have had this problem

If you are using the T-Mobile ROM, the only for sure fix is to flash the ROM to a non T-Mobile ROM.
ROM flashing is found in the sticky in the Excalibur section.

Good luck!

Just so you don't think the TMO ROM being the problem is only one persons opinion.
It is the ROM. I have tried most, if not all, of the other ROM's posted in this section and haven't run into that issue with any other one besides the TMO ROM.

ever since i switched to that new htc rom (the thread is a few below this one) i have not had any cycling on the reboot with my storage card .. just a thought if your thinking of upgrading

Would anyone mind posting the T-Flash card driver here so us T-Mo rom users could drop it in our Windows folder and change the registry to use the new one?

Hi i got the same issue: When my SD card was in, it rebooted in loop!
And when i retired the SD card, it was fine.
But with SKTool, i deleted duplicated NotificationQueue and with a registry editor, i deleted the key: HKLM/Services/WLM
And now, no reboot looping anymore
Hope it works for u ^^

TomTom 7: Unable to start. Not enough memory is available.

What the hell? Before I've changed the File system cache to auto it did work! But now that I have much more ram available about 21MB, it doesn't want to start. So I tried to go back to 4MB file system cache... but nothing, still that error message.
TomTom 7 is installed in the memory card... wtf???

I've had this happen before, and if I remember correctly, it was a corrupt Map File. I restored an earlier copy of my maps to the SD Card, and all was good again.
Try hiding your maps and see if TomTom will run. It should ask you to use a Voucher. If it does, then it's the map problem and TomTom is fine.

Nope, I've tried this tip but no success... It's really odd...

Hi Zooster. Sorry to hear about the headache you currently have.
I have had similar problems in the past month, the first time really freaked me out.
In my case, I noticed that some of the files on my sd card know longer showed up, and later discovered that others had indeed become corrupted.
I solved it (and continue to do so when it happens) by formatting my sd card and copying back onto it a copy I have of all the Tomtom files. Infact, once you get it working again, I suggest you regularly make a copy of whatever is on your sd card in case it happens again. For me, it seems to be ROM specific, i.e. only happens when I flash some of the new ROMs. Sometimes the sd card suddenly stops showing up in file explorer, sometimes I just need to remove tomtom and then reinstall it.
The problem for you now may be getting the original Tomtom files, I guess it depends where you got them from.
When I flash some ROMS, this problem occurs. I have to avoid ROMs that do that and choose another.
I hope you manage to sort it out. I know what's it like when these things suddenly go wrong for no reason! Best of luck.
Mattster.

Ok, I'll try to restore original files... I'll let you know.

WHAT TOMTOM FILES DO YOU NEED ON YOUR SD CARD?
There seems to be an awful lot of tomtom files on my sd card, so I've started to delete some and see if Tomtom still works. And it does!
I've got it down to:
My Documents folder with maps inside
Voices folder
plus the following files:
ALBUM.VOL
AutoRun
Autorun.exe-run
Start
TTN
TTN2003
ttnavigator.bif
I've lost the 2257 file (that apparently causes automatic self install of Tomtom when you insert the card) so if anyone has that I'd like it back!!!
So, my question to all of you Tomtom users is: Which files are actually needed for Tomtom to work?
(I know there is the tidy up option of chucking any mystery files into a folder, but I like to know what all files on my sd card are actually doing!)
Mattster.

Hmmm...
Just had this problem myself, but might have fixed it on my Artemis
Originally I copied the TomTom Navigator.EXE to \windows\start menu\programs and it worked
However; it stopped working with the "not enough memory error" - so I started disabling applications, uninstalling them etc.
Still no joy
Just out of interest tried the TomTom Navigator.EXE within the TomTom folder on my SD card - and it worked...
I've deleted the .exe from "my device" and created a shortcut to my SD Card and now it looks like it is working again
Going to keep testing now - but perhaps worth a shot

For tomtom, TTN is the installation file, the others can be all deleted.
After installation, we only need the following 3 folders:
1. maps
2. voices
3. zip
All of them need stored in sd card root path.
If you need the satellite view, then you need one more folder in your sd card root, which is "raster"
The file "ttnavigator.bif" is auto generated by tomtom everytime you use it, you will always find it is still there even you have delete it sometime before, just leave it. Also "ttnavigator.bif" is a log file for tomtom, so it is useful, dont delete this file.

In the 2577 (not 2257) map are the following files:
AutoRun.exe
Autorun.exe-run
TTN.cab
TTN2003.cab
So you just moved them to the root
The actual files for running TT are automatically stored on the device, not on the storage card

Thanks Arjan. Thanks for the reply.
What I'm curious to know is, after a new ROM flash (i.e. before TT has been installed on their clean device) what TT files do they have on the SD card.

Sorry, can't answer that. Flashed my rom quite a few times but never bothered to clean up my storage card. Probably still got Tom Tom 6 and or WM5 stuff on there

i had the issue with artemis and tomtom Navigator v7.910.9185. It was on sd. Then i deleted voice and raster folder and suddenly the problem solved!
Then i copied voice folder back to sd with 3 voices (before i had about 25) and now it works like charm.

I have had this same 'memory' problem on a few devices,
it has always been sorted by an SD card format and a card restore from my PC.
as to Tomtom after a re-flash ... I have never had any issues with it at all,
I just restore a full backup with SPB backup.

i have tomtom 7 ver. 7.910 on my p3600 running wm6 pro but seems to always come up no gps device can anyone help, please send me a message soon thanks mossy

Go to Change Preferences, Configure GPS, Click Configure, Tap left Arrow to show Other NMEA GPS receiver and tap Select, Set 4800 Baud and tap Done, Select GPS in COM9, and you are good to go. Click Done to go back to main screen.

I had the same problem once, install chaps advance config an relocate the internet temporary internet files.
by default they are located in: \windows\profiles\guest
if you use youtube a lot and google maps i can happen too.

I get this all of the time.
the problem occurs when my battery gets lower than 70% and I launch TomTom Navigator 7.
what i do now is make a copy of the Map Folder and keep it on my memory card.
I also make a zip archive and keep that on my device (not SD Card) in My Docs or somewhere else with a copy of the corresponding .dct file and .bif files and installers.
this way, i can restore tomtom onto another sd card if need be.
usually i format the card and restore the zip archive!

Just had this same problem. Changing the Start Menu from a copy of the executable to a shortcut seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the tip!

Formatted sd card, reinstalled maps and everything needed from a backup = works.

Can't use progs from SD after Rhobuntu shutdown - ok after hard reset

I have been successfully using the Android builds on my TP2 without any issues. However, when I tried Rhobuntu (which is very exciting by the way!), I have had problems since I shut it down to reboot.
When trying to launch any programs that are installed on the SD card, either through a proper cab install or by trying to run Haret off the SD card, I get the following message:
[highlight]
The file 'filename' cannot be opened. Etiher it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
[/highlight]​
I am still able to access all the files from Windows Mobile 6.5. I can open data files such as mp3 or jpg.
If I try to install a cab file (from the SD card or the main memory after copying it there), it tells me the file is from an unknown publisher etc, and I can choose to continue. However, it then tells me that the installation was unsuccessful.
Prior to using Rhobuntu, I could install and use applications on the SD card with out any problems.
I have searched the forums and the internet, but I can't find any answers that are applicable - plenty of questions like mine though!
One example is on the first page of the Rhobuntu sticky thread, but it appeared to go unanswered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...opened+signed+trusted+certificate#post5771699
Help please!
Ed

Ed,
It was I who posted the question in the other thread. Unfortunately, I never got a solution to the problem so I ended up performing a hard reset.
I had the same issue again when I ran Rhobuntu so I've pretty much given up on it.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

make Hard-reset . (you will lost all you data on the phone)

Works after hard-reset
Thanks dicko, walter.
I finally gave up and did a hard reset, and before setting everything up again I tried Rhobuntu again, like dicko had.
This time, I can use Rhobuntu, and go back to Windows, and everything still works. Phew!
Differences between last time and this - I don't know if any of them are relevant:
1/ This time the Windows only has stock Vodafone ROM Win 6.5 plus TomTom as it automatically installed when I put the SD card in. Last time lots of other programs were installed also.
2/ This time I used the latest Rhobuntu release - 19032010 on the fileshare, 18032010 according to the first post that the filed share was linked from. It was xfce. Last time I was using 12032010.
3/ This time I chose Reboot when I was finished with Rhobuntu. Last time I chose Shutdown.
Now to rebuild my Windows system!

[Q] cab autoinstaller

Hey guys does any of u have any cab autoinstaller to SD card ?
I tried SASHIMI but it doesnt support mini resolution

Forget it. On your storage card create a folder, named "Autorun" and put all your cabs in there.

thanks for reply
but can you explain me how it will work?i mean it will just install after hard reset or flashing ROM only?

After flashing or hard reset, when device reads card, it will start auto installation of all cabs are located inside "Autorun" folder.

thanks,but after hard reset or flashing u know if its any program which does this?
for example i want to install at once 10-15 cabs to SD card without to click for each cab

hey mate try XDA_UC_NET v0.9.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709557

Take a full backup first. Put those cabs in the "Autorun" folder. Make a hard reset. Auto installation will began. You don't have to click on each cab, you select only the destination (internal memory or card).
