I've been running my own custom ROM, based on the official T-Mo win65 ROM and twice in the last two days, my phone has hard reset itself! The first time, it happened programs would not launch all of sudden and the program files directory was empty when I launched file explorer. After a soft reset I got black screen with white text saying my phone could not boot because of some problem and had to be reset. The phone then did a hard reset. The second time was this morning. My alarm (which is on my phone!) did not go off and when I woke up, my phone was on the initial setup screen.
Has anyone experienced this with any phone?
I've found a few threads detailing the exact same problem, but no definitive answers...
Touch Diamond - Hard Reset Issue
No bad block, but randomly hard reset with WM 6.1???
Fuze random hard-resets
Touch Pro Hard Reset While Charging
The last one was interesting, as both times my phone reset, it was charging. My custom ROM has an unmodifed 21881 SYS and XIP, and an OEMdrivers with the custom 1% battery driver by chainfire cooked in.
I'm thinking it might just be bad hardware. For the time being I've reverted back to the official T-Mobile 6.5 ROM and official SPL.
if the phone doesn't hard reset for a week or so, I'll try my custom ROM again, but with Quentin's driver instead.

Hello,
I finally had the nerve to flash to Black 2.5 with the latest hard spl. The issue I have had is when I do a soft reset, I would see the AT&T logo and it would just sit there. Sometimes I would have to soft reset it multiple times before it shows the Black 2.5 Splash Screen.
Any ideas? Bad flash? should I reflash?
Thanks!
Umm.. i guess reflash, i don't have this problem.
Well actually i did. I would soft reset and it'd get stuck in the beginning so i'd soft reset again then in get stuck in bootloader mode. I was on the road and was panicking. So i unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and it'd go straight to bootloader. Did this several times and gave up. Got home ready to reflash my device but something came up, So i just plugged it into the charger, took care of my business, came back 25 min later (still in bootloader) soft reset and it was back to normal. So my problem was low power.

had the same problem several times: startup takes about 3 minutes and after that my device is incredibly slow...
softreset again (and again sometimes) and the problems are gone.
did a hard-reset en restore, but this issue occurred again a few times.
now installed LVSW (23-04-2007) for a while to see if it's ROM related (I think is is). but Black still is my favorite...

This can be caused by allsorts of things, most likely a 3rd party app causing problems on startup.
What have you got installed?
The only app I have installed the latest version of Dashboard from snoopsoft and iLauncher that might affect startup. However, I had those installed with previous WM6 releases with no apparent issues.
Hi!
I had a quit similar problem. It was gone after cleaning up the root of my microsd. After moving the stuff into folders this behavior disappear.
It looks like if there are a lot of files in the root, I have problems booting up, and I have to softreset several times till it comes back to normal. Just my experience....
Hi there, i got hold of a Hermes yesterday and since that moment i've been trying to flash it to a decent wm6.1 rom.
but i ran in some problems.. first i flashed HardSPL 7. then i flashed the radio to 1.4x and even 1.5x and some roms. the last ROM i tried is the latest TNT.
but for some reason i keep getting crashes, missing shortcut links and when i reboot at that moment it keeps stuck at the bootscreen picture. this happened serveral times now and its getting on my nerves..
i already used MTTY with the info 8 command. and it only returned some "Reversed" blocks, none were bad.
Can someone please tell me if i am doing something wrong? or how i can solve the issue?
i already tried leaving it be for 5 minutes, remove battery, and did like 30 hard-resets already..!
help?
happened to me once
have you done a manual hard reset? at least i think thats what its called. where you hold both soft keys(ones above start/ok) and press the button in with your stylus all at one time till the white reset screen comes up..then just press R and SPACE on the keyboard.
now once it reloads and is finally done...flash vg3's at&t wm6 rom..once its all done flash your 6.1 rom of your liking..
its something to do with the memory i dunno but i just flash vg3's at&t wm6 rom every single time before i flash to another 6.1 rom and i've never had that happen to me again and trust me it happened a lot before..it never happens now
Yes i did do the hard-reset manually.
i will try the vg3's rom first thing tommorow.
HI all,
I'm having some fun and games with my Orbit today.
I previously had an old version of black & Blue on there. SO today decided to update to have a go with some manilla based ROMS.
First I Tried YuE_v11.3_3.15.20755_Lite_M2D_WWE
Which seemed to work ok but after a while applications were being very slow.
So then I tried to reflash oop, but that seemed to fail.
I Tried to flash love, but it wasn't ever getting to the progress indicator on flashing, so did an SD flash of YuE which worked.
So then tried to flash Love from that minimal YUE and the device is being really slow, like gets to the calibration and takes about 5 mins to swap between screens.
What's the best way to totally clear down the rom and start again on this?
Thanks
I've now flashed the Official UK O2 WM6 ROM and still having problems. Flashed succesfully, but when it boots up, it just sits on the "Windows Mobile" screen and beeps a bit
Current State after O2 flash :
IPL : 3.04.0001
SPL : 3.04.0000
GSM : 03.06.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Hard reset the device, and while you're in the config wizard, plug in your device and flash to new rom. That way it's completely formatted and you'll have a fresh new install... hope it works mate
I did a hard reset, still no joy, hangs on the welcome to windows screen
I can access the Bootloader, but can't find a way to flash a rom from there, all seem to want it done once you've made an activesync connetion
flash YUE back via SD card flashing
I already tried that, flashes fine, but becomes unresponsive soon after
have tried flashing O2 WM5 + WM6 from SD, but still no joy.
It just flashes, loads up WM(5/6) then hangs there, beeping sometimes. Pressing the green button brings up the calibration screen. I sometimes see bits of apps, today screen, but that's about it, it's generally unresponsive.
Any suggestions?

A little update incase someone can help?
I left the battery out of the phone all night last night, and this morning the phone worked great.. for about 2 hours, then it froze. I hard reset, and it's back to freezing after OS loading now
What's up if you remove your MicroSD card ?
That makes no diff, i've tried flashing with + without the SD card (it's currently out), flashing from windows + flashing from microSD, all ends up the same way, with an unresponsive device once the OS boots.
At some random time I find the phone with the non-themed lock screen in place. The screen is frozen and cannot unlock phone. I then soft reset and when the phone reboots all is lost and it proceeds to reinstall the OS as if I had just flashed the ROM.
I am running Tmobile branded phone with Oct 11th release of Energy ROM Standard. Other than that, nothing special, no tweaks or other stuff.
Just seems like magically the phone completely resets itself as if I had pressed the 'hard' reset button.
Thoughts?
mate
im facing the same problem
have you found any solution
2 days ago i was playing with my touch diamond and it held when i switched on WIFI (wifi was working fone for a year now). When i rebooted the phone froze at the screen where Touch Diamond is written and at bottom right some info regarding ROM/Radio/SPL etc (R 1.09.25.23 G 52.51.25.26H D 2.03.00.00).
Tried many times but couldn't boot it . Just when i was about to get hopeless it started booting if i hold volume down, enter and press reset pin on the screen still taking too long. As i had stock HTC ROM so i upgraded it to the latest to see if it solves the problem. After upgrade phone would still boot randomly by trying the Reset pin and the mentioned button but after a few trys that also stopped working.
Now the phone is stuck on the same black screen, i can only resintall the latest Rom and All the way mentioned on the forums dont work for me i have tried signed unsiged soft and hard spl or direct Custom ROM upgrades but nothing goes beyond 0 %.
All the SPL upgrade articles require to copy jump spl. exe to the phone but i can do that as i am unable to create a Active Sync relationship (Eventhough i have tried upgrade by manually going into the tri color screen by holding volume down button while booting it).
The Hard Reset option allows me to hard reset but has no effect on the phone's condition.
anybody who could help me out here?
