I have several Qtek 2020i units, and I decided to use one as a test unit to guage which ROM is best for our business needs.
I grabbed the latest files from the FTP and got to work.
Once I had radio 1.04.0 I decided to flash it into the one that I use as my regular phone, with contacts and programs installed to make life easier.
I have done this on my Universal and updating the radio didn't cause a hard reset, I just hit the soft reset and all was well.
I followed the same procedure on the Alpine and when I hit the reset it went into an automatic hard reset.
I don't know if this information is mentioned anywhere in the ROM upgrading threads, but I think it should be.
Glad I had a backup, but some people doing this might not.
It is normal duder!!
Some days ago, i've flashed my phone to get an "up-to-date" ROM. I chose "PDACornerIllusion 21139" of 2009.03.06. All went fine excepting the keyboard of my GPS wont work anymore (dunno why of course), so i re-flashed with another ROM.
I was surprised that my phone kept the CornerIllusion BootScreen, but i didnt care.
All of a sudden, after having soft reset the ROM i chose (the 2nd one), for an installation of some proggie. The ROM restart as brand new asking me to reset the screen, the clock, date etc... losing all my content and customizations. Then i couldnt sync with Outlook after the first sync i've done minutes ago (error code 800004005). I've decided to soft-reset the phone, and now, TF3D wont even start, (it selft tries to start several times, then gives up), AND the programs lists is all broken, no shortcuts left and the games folder is named *h1/4Eg+รง^, nothing works anymore.
I flashed with about 4 roms (including Aztor one), resulting in the same mess.
Does it have something to do with the first one "PDACornerIllusion 21139" and its still remaining BootScreen?
Can i flash my phone from its roots, to get rid of this ?
As it's maybe not the "fault" of PDACornerIllusion, i write this in this section of the Diamond general thread and made a double post at PDACornerIllusion development thread
I suggest you perform a hard reset before flashing any new rom and that you use the traditional "flash-from-PC-using-ActiveSync-connection" method to flash.
And above all I wish you luck!
What was the other ROM you flashed? I am curious.
rondol1 suggests you hard reset prior to flashing a new rom. I suggest you hard reset after flashing a new rom. Net result is probaby much the same. You could even just do a hard reset now with whatever is loaded and things will probably improve. Main thing is...whenever you flash a rom do a hard reset straight after loading it. I always do this religiously and with the exception of one recent rom I tried I have never had a problem.
First of all, thank you both for trying to suggest hints, i really appreciate it.
I've never hard reset the ROM before or after having installed a new one. I never have a problem before.
For the last 2 months, i was on NEON 1.28, then i've decided it was time to update seeing the new features of the more up-to-date ROMs
I've just reflashed it (an hour ago) with PDACornerIllusion 21139, i've hard reseted before and after. let's see how it turns out ....
I've tried NATALY, CLOUDY, MORNA & AZTOR, no luck with any of them, all died after a soft reset or after the 1st sync (reconnecting for a 2nd sync).
Maybe the problem comes from the very root of the phone (like BIOS in a PC, dunno), maybe something in there got corrupted. How to repair it if my guess exists and is it repairable?

There in lies the problem.
I bet you will be fine from now on. Don't ask why you need to do the hard reset - as no one has been able to give a definitive answer - But it is a well known step that many chefs recommend post flash - just do it from now on and you wont regret it.

completely agree with logger - hard reset after you flash any ROM. I haven't used PDACorner - so can't say for sure... but do the flash via CustomRUU once... when the new ROM is flashed... do a hard reset as soon as it's complete..
good luck!
let's see then, >>>>crossing fingers<<<<
I've had this happen a lot lately as well. Might have something to do with the newer SYS? Anyway, hard reseting hasn't always fixed it for me. However, flashing back to the Sprint stock ROM (or HTC stock for you GSM guys) then flashing a new custom ROM has always done the trick. Maybe because the stock ROMs are bigger and "clean" out the memory somehow? At any rate, flash stock and then you're good to go. No permanent damage.
no luck, after a 2nd soft-reset, the phone is asking "touch the screen to configure for the 1sy use blablabla", all data's lost again & again...
what do you mean by stock Rom ? the rom that came with my phone when i've bought it ?
I've got the same problem with the Diamond rebooting like a hard-reset. But I always did a hard-reset after a fresh install. I blamed it on the rom and tried several others, including donsalari's "Clean Basic Rom", the Gen.Y Sense 2.1 and 2.5 versions and an older Aztor rom. Same problem every time, the first reboot after changing the device locale works fine, then I set the whole phone up properly and on the next reboot it will come up as if had performed a hard reset.
Additionally, the file system on my internal storage got corrupted somehow, had to reformat. At some point, I also had the impression that data on the phone memory got lost gradually. First the Contact's numbers got replaced by some nonsense characters, then there were numbers and contacts missing, and finally I had no contacts at all. ActiveSync stopped working so I was in the middle of a trip without my phonebook...
I've got two hypotheses:
1) The Gen.Y bootloader messed with the phone (Had tried the Sense 2.5 Gen.Y rom before donsalari's)
2) Flash controller or Flash itself is broken
@dunnno: I suggest you rename the thread to something like "diamond hard-resets on 2nd reboot after rom install"
edit: oops, just realised I resurrected a very old thread... Maybe there's a fix already?
My diamond still suffers from this problem. I tried it again and again with different roms but everytime, at some point all my configuration is lost and the diamond reboots like after a fresh install. Can anyone please help?
I'm having this problem as well :|
Grr, I have to rely on my phone for so much, but it just doesn't want to work correctly.
Help is immensely appreciated.
Well, I got mine to work, I just flashed the stock HTC ROM and everything has gone back to normal. H3PO, I suggest you give that a shot if you are still having problems.
I had these problems when I first started flashing my Diamond with custom roms.
Now I always flash my carrier stock rom first, then hard reset, then flash custom rom, then hard reset and I never have any problems. I have no idea why flashing the stock rom first stops the problems but I haven't had any problems with the dozens of roms I've flashed using this method.
Also I always flash from internal storage, but others prefer using MTTY
I still have some problems with the Contact Database, but flashing some stock O2 Rom solved the "reboot as new" problem.
Hi,
I do not know if anyone has met this issue before.
i was fine until yesterday when i installed this app which shows the pic of the caller.
After the uninstalation it said that i needed a soft reset to finish the process.
I did one but then it did a hardreset.
I installed the rom again, and after certain customisations, that needed a soft reset, a hard one is beeing performed right now.
What can i do please?
Thannk you
flash a stock rom => hard reset => flash a custom rom => hard reset.
dollar wallper
thanks for the tip.
It worked!!!
Now another small issue.
Is there a way to get rid of the dollar that appears in the beginning of the soft reset?
read this thread
or this
or search for splash screen .
do not forget to do before HardSPLs
Hi guys
Sorry I did a bit of a search but not getting the answers I want to know.
When flashing between cooked roms when I had my hermes i used to hard reset > flash stock > hard reset > flash cooked >hard reset > hard reset
With my diamond i just hard reset > mtty format > flash new rom > hard reset.
I am new to Blackstone and am now trying to figure out do I need to flash to a stock rom or can I run mtty before flashing a new rom? is this not needed with the Blackstone/Touch HD?
Thanks for any info

If you flash any roms, you should always do a hardreset after flashing.
Thats it,
and to Boost your Touch HD use HD Tweak or Advance Configurator

sometimes i hard reset, sometimes i dont, i never experienced any problems, never could find an answer why we should hard reset after flash, since when flashing a rom , a new one dont leave any of the old stuff left. Dont know so much about it but i suspect its some superstition involved
anyhow, it wont hurt to do one just in case
I normally just flash and then hard reset (just to be safe and because the chefs often say to do so) I have on the odd occasion just flashed and not hard reset and that also worked fine for me.
I see however that a few frequent flashers have been experiencing problems and the suggested fix for this is as you used to do on your hermes, ie first flash to stock and then to cooked rom again. I have never had to do this (so far at least ).
To be safe I would just hard reset after flashing and only if getting funny errors that others aren't experiencing then I would consider going to stock first before again flashing to cooked.
+1, would agree with ClydeB1, after each flash I would generally perform a hard reset before automatic configuration takes place (generally by removing battery, re-inserting, and then hard reset). I have heard people say to perform 2 hard resets, but I have never experienced any improvement doing this after testing on many roms. I have however at times noticed a slight responsive improvement after one, but not on all roms.
I have never had to reflash stock before flashing cooked roms, but I do know people who have done, though this is only if problems occur.
Only reason why I have ever had to reflash stock was when I had a upgrade rom code error, BLAC100 stays in bootloader caused by flashing process stalling half way through, and this has only happened once and I've flashed 100's of roms
Thanks for the information guys!!
Hello All,
I am using un-contract HTC Pure windows 6.5 phone in india. Now I am facing some issue with my mobile so I want to hard reset my phone. But I am worried about one thing is, do I need to unlock my phone again after hard resetting mobile ?
I have unlock code which is given to me by AT&T at the time of purchasing this mobile.
Hard reset
Hard reset will restore everything of the operating system in its factory issue so you will loose your datas and configuration yes.
Hi
I am new to this forum.
I bought HTC diamond 2 recently. It is my first smartphone, so I am a little nooby with it. Anyway, it has the stock windows 6.1 installed. So, I may go off topic, but I wanted to ask:
1 - If I am about to upgrade my phone to WM6.5, will my warranty still be working with another OS than the stock one?
2 - If I install (or flash or whatever you call it) my phone to WM6.5 and then perform the hard reset (push the reset button on the back of th phone), will the phone run wm6.5 or the stock wm6.1 after the reset?
I hope you understood the questions, sorry for my wretched grammar.
If you install an official WM6.5 ROM from HTC you won't loose warranty (I guess)
A hard reset will reset your phone to the factory settings of the latest flashed ROM. So if you flash a 6.5 ROM and do a hard reset your phone will still be on that 6.5 ROM.
Attention: pushing the reset button is not a hard reset - it's a soft reset
And a soft reset won't kill your data or configuration
So, what exactly does the soft reset and hard reset? Where is the difference? And how do I perform the hard reset then?
hard reset:
RTFM or this: http://digital.uwants.com/viewthread.php?tid=8061717
there also is an option in WinMo to do a hard reset, but I cannot tell you how to navigate there in a non-german version
