Can't reboot after upgrade to XDA IIs Chinese

Today, I upgrade my HK XDA2s from eng to chinese, the chinese rom which was download from ftp , named "XDA_IIs_Chinese_CHT_1.31.00_ ExtRom_1.31.900_Radio_1.08.00.rar" (Thanks the giver)
During the installation, I have successfully to edit the 3 rom header file to avoid the country ID problem.
All thing go well, and the PC screen saying "Congradulation" at last.
However, after I soft reset my XDA 2s, the device hang on the start up screen, can't reboot further more.
Can anyone tell me how to solve it OR any steps I miss ?
Thanks

Did you do a Hard reset (power and reset) after the install like it told you to do on the screen?

After seeing the PC screen said "Congradulation"
I've try 1) Softreset and 2) hardreset too
But the problem stilll exist.
Thanks

Thanks MDAIIIuser, you already help me a lot.
Hope other member who 've encounter the same problem can sharing with us.

Furthermore, MDAIIIuser, while using the rom mention above
"XDA_IIs_Chinese_CHT_1.31.00_ ExtRom_1.31.900_Radio_1.08.00.rar"
which is download from ftp server.
After upgrade, the start up screen is "Qtek" with KPN wording. It is very strange that why the chinese rom got "Qtek" wording.
It is there have something wrong on that files ?

You did what we all would have done, sorry that it was a waste of time.
This is another case of
FUNNY HA HA ... NOT
Check the thread on the t-mobile new rom found (cant post link am on mda). Here you will see that i found a new rom on ftp, posted it to wiki, downloded it and then cooked it to find out that it was a qtec rom.
What a waste of time that was.
We have one very sad person that thinks its funny to delete Ftp files, Ftp dirs and now post files that he/she knows would intrest some of us based on the threads that have been posted.
I for one will take more care when posting to wiki, pity as it takes the fun away.

after i finished update, i discover this topic....
I also hit this problem right now.
Can anyone tell me what can i do?

Dont think amy of our CHT are good, might try to download then and see if they work.
The link is in wiki, see my signature, you need the page with ship.exe in it.

Tell me which CHT ROM you did and how you flush Rom , maybe I can help,I try all CHT Rom in here except Dopod114 ROM was broken others all can flush,pm to me or replay in here I will help same as MDAIIIUser help me.

My new XDA IIs got a same problem here. It's dead. Anybody got a solution?

Do not worry. I have got the same problem before. I suggest you just flash back to your own rom.

re-flushing rom again , it's happen to me before,if you see usb 2.07 that need to re-flush again

Thanks for you two reply.
Yes I had thought about to it that way. But my problem is more serious the XDA stop at start screan the computer even can't detected it. I can't even do synch how can I flush it back? Is there any other way like "PC safe mode"? Anybody got a idea?

OK, move battery out wait 15 min , and put it back ,also reboot your pc,if don't work , try to remove and re-install ActiveSync .
try to doing soft reset first.

Thanx MWang.
Yes I tried what you said, still not working. The xda freezed at the first second it start. I think that is why pc can't detected it. Also soft reset will only turn off the xda and it won't start unless you use hard reset.

ok YOU DIDN'T SET ON Boot Loader Mode,TRY by pressing the camera button, power button and then the reset button and hold for a few seconds THAN YOU WILL SEE USB V-2.07 THAN PUT IN THE cradle THAN FLUSH YOU NEW ROM, I THINK SHOULD WORKING.

It do works by press voice record, power, reset together! :? Anyway it works again, just great!!
I'm really appriciated for your help mwang thank you!

alternative extended_rom+splash screens for summiter ROMhere

thEsE files are only for the HTC WIZARD
this post is in response to the request from this thread ;http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52521&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Upgrading only the radio or the splash and extended-rom will not wipe any setting from you device. It only updates the respective part that you are flashing.
This is a proper extended-rom[for sumiter rom wizard custom AKU 2.3 ROM but it should work with any 2xxx rom].nbf is not a folder containing the files
To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.
when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .
download my extended rom from here EXTENDED-ROM-FOR NON-CINGULAR-USERS
how to install? simply run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe that is inside every splash screen and extended rom folder[/b]
more splashes coming soon.please post your requests and if you like my work please say thank you a least .

Hi Faria,
Thanks for this handy utility. Are you still working on a kind of manual about cooking your own rom?
Nico

faria, thank you for your Vodafone splash screen its awesome!
I wanted to ask you is it possible to have HTC logo?

To gooshy
First you should cid unlock before doing anything using the lokiwiz tool, then flash the new rom .as for how does my extended-rom fixes the problem of the guy with the £40 bill is simple;Is phone was dialling out to get is email and because he installed the default extended-rom he has all the Cingular gprs/dialup settings to access email/web ,so is device was using the American settings to dial out from the uk to get is mail. since I have remove such settings from my extended-rom , there is no danger of any bills .

Thankyou faria for your response. This has put my mind at ease.
I have spotted a slight problem since updating. When I send a text message, the receiver gets the message twice. Im not sure if this is a ROM issue, a setting issue or a T-Mobile issue. Just wondered if anyone has had this problem before?
Thanks for all your work.
Cheers.

great work .. thanks
could u make it import any image into the tool?
like insert "MyOwnBestIspWhatsoeverSplashLOGO"?

update
update
I have successfully created a new test extended rom for any wizard with 2xxx rom versions regardless of the carrier.
the best thing is that this extended rom has carrier settings in it for UK/AUSTRALIA /SOUTH AFRICA/PORTUGAL/NEW ZEALAND/NORWAY/AND Nederland’s ,so wend the extended rom loads a dialog comes up and you chose the particular carrier setting that you want, after selecting it just install automatically.or you could just press cancel and no carriers setting will be isntalled but the remaining items will be.nice.
I have also manage to hack the program called [wm5torage] so now it can be installed from the extended rom ,I have also made the program 30% lighter and it works flawless
Also it has registry setting on it like; gps icon back, performance tweaks etc, etc...
At the moment imp putting a few more settings programs into it like a tiny program that actually closes the applications and it is only 4kb.
It is not ready to public release. But will be soon if anyone is interested. Are you?[/

kyphur is correct 1 wrong move and you have a dead device. the reason that it is difficult to do a tutorial on how to cook roms is because you need to mess with several tool/programs/encode/decode/convert flash,etc,etc.etc...there is not a simple straightforward way of doing it, my Wizard is only 2 months old and have learn to cook roms unlock simply by reading the xda,also a lot has been guess work and brain power because no one is prepared to help you kill you device .at the moment I m very busy but I plan to write a tutorial in how to cook your extended rom.
in another note there is 2 new splashes uploaded

If you download the DLL, just place it on your windows directory, disable HTChome first, of course, then reenable it after replacing the dll in the windows directory.

then Minimize Internet Explorer.. NOTICE I SAID MINIMIZE NOT CLOSE. "sorry for the caps"
and then just tap on the weather and it'll update..
u only have to open IE once. i guess that enables it.

One more time.
You INSTALL the CAB on the device. You don't place them on ANY folder, unless you download the dll itself. I realize that's what I said first. But that's because I didn't see his cab file.
Just run the cab file.

ok u can put the cab file anywhere..
i usually put it on my memory card.
once u run the .cab file from ur memory card.. its gonna ask u where u wanna install the file.

and to minimize IE u just click on the start tab on the top left side and click on today screen.

thanks for the help. im sorry but i thought i got but i think it did when i connected to my laptop. so i just download the files and run the setup while the wing is hooked up. or do i copy the files on the wing and then run the setup? im sorry but trying to figure out how to install the on the device without putting them in a folder. well thanks for all the help

for starters: retry w/o sd card
and add a little more info on how your phone is setup and what you already tried or not, no thought-readers out here (that I know of)

Does it say anything in perticular when it freezes? If you'd manage to by accident fail to flash a rom you might have this issue saying something about updating rom.

My refrigerator also doesn't work...
no serious dude, first read before posting.
And if you don't get out, give us so much info so that we could help you.

You failed, what did you do?

hay i also got such a problom when i can't find the solution for always connected with active sync guide.
so just read it and follow the steps and flashe any good ROM and then hard reset it by below steps
1. Hold Camera and Record button and press reset. Hold it a while, until you'll see three options at the top. Choose:
* Enable KITL: No
* Clean Registry Hive: Yes
* Format Storage: Yes
& leave it you got your working screen again if device is not broken
best regards

Well, in my opinion: Do not delete this thread.
It's a good beginning to discuss common problems on upgrading, or installing apps after that! What do you think of that? Telling others about problems and their solutions or workaround.

Well today i come a cross a c skekhar folder with a rom in it and a ExtROM folder:
then i read this in a .txt in that folder and it says:
Code:
1. You must be seeing a folder \ExtROM here which has few cabs and tsk files. Place this folder on \Storage Card of your device.
2. You can add the files which you wish to autoinstall after hard reset to this folder. But, dont forget to modify the \Storage Card\ExtROM\Config.txt accordingly.
3. Mark all cab files as read only.
You now have the Extended ROM back on your device but on the storage card this time.... Enjoy.
