WM6.5 ROMs working for ~1 week - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hey guys.
I have a mysterious issue with my HD.
After flashing Dutty's WM 6.5 R8 Turbo ROM the problems appeared.
The freshly flashed and installed ROM works with all programs and changes for approximately 1 week. After this period (without reboot!) suddenly all contacts are gone, all pictures are gone from the album and the SD card is inacessible (like this thread: Thread), today there was just a bug that a notification was repeated 95 times instead of the supposed 1 time, once it just froze.
When you try a reboot, the booting will take a lot of time just to show the WinMo start screen. At this point the boot process gets stuck and you have to hard reset to get back access to your device.
In today's case with the small bug it endep up worse: Instead of trying to boot the system automatically did a hard reset! Fortunately there were no important data on my phone.
First I assumed that this was caused by the SD-TuneUp driver by tyynt. But after hard reseting under Dutty 6.5 R8 T for the third time I didn't install this driver and guess what: 1 week later it froze anyway and made a hard reset necessary.
After this ROM I tried Dutty's 6.5 R12 Revised with the same result. As mentioned, the device performed an automatic hard-reset today. Now I'm back on WM 6.1 HD V4.1 Final to if this is ROM dependent or not.
Do you guys have any idea what's causing this? It's pretty annoying to reconfigure your HD every week

it might be due to a bad flash.
try flashing the same rom again or flash another rom..

I have thesame problem with duty's latest roms (R9,R12)
After a few days it gets very slow. So slow i have to do a soft reset. But then the device loads very slow, it dont shows the htc animation. After a few minutes (1 or 2) it gets stuck at the orange windows mobile 6.5 loading screen.
Somethimes it does automatically a hard reset after the soft reset. All messages, appointments, contacts are gone. Only time and date are restored. Sometimes it does absolutely nothing, it just freezes at the orange screen, even after a few soft resets. In this case I have to do a hard reset. With dutty R9 mostly the freezes occured, sometimes automatically a hard reset. With dutty R12 most of the time (3 times so far) It does automatically a hard reset.
So I have to restore everything 1 or 2 times a week with pim backup. Does someone have an possible explanation?

I had the same Problem after flashing from Dutty's WM6.5 R5 to R6. I tried Flashing back to R5 but the same thing happened.
I resolved it by up flashing the HTC stock ROM, and then R6 again. Now on R12 and haven't seen the problem since. No idea what it could be though.

I've had the same problem. Flash a stock rom like ManiGo says and than you can flash one of Dutty's rom. Worked for me. Good Luck.

The problem doesn't appear to be directly related to the rom as countless others have used Throys roms with no such issues. As Svenvdmeer stated above, the general solution which appears to have worked for all would be to restore stcok rom and then follow guidelines to flash Throys rom again.

Alright, I'm going to try that and one week later we will see if it worked for me, too
Thank you for your help!
Edit: Is there a certain stock rom you would recommend? Otherwise I would just flash one of those provided by Dutty.
Edit²: Could be an indication for a bad flash that all WM6.5 ROMs I tried were noticeably slower and not that smooth in (e.g.) TF3D in comparison to 6.1 ROMs?

Its weird, today i had the problem with dutty's R2 (great rom )
I will try soon to flash a stock rom.

Had the same problems with the first 6.5 roms. Thought that the problem was a CAB I installed (SMS extension from Dutty). Flashed back to 6.1 (not a stock, but a Dutty ROM) and after a while I tried out a other 6.5 ROM and didn't had the problem since then. Still didn't know if it was the CAB or just a 'random' other problem.

This time the WM6.1 is still the most popular choice

try NOT to sync your contact with any of the server after initalizing your machine. (You may restore contact and disconnect all sync service)
Test it for a week and see if it goes right.

I only use PIM Backup, I never updated with a server with Winmob 6.5. Only with 6.1 I updated to my gmail and hotmail server, but that 1.5 months ago.

Similar problem for me with me.
Dutty's WM 6.5 R9 Turbo
Radio 1.14.
It freezes at least 5 -6 times a day.....driving me nuts! It's a shame cause I like the start menu so much more than on Dutty's 6.1 ROM.
I'm flashing Energy's ROM as I type this. Hope it's as good as other peeps say.

I'm sorry for probably being dumb but where do I find a WinMo 6.5 stock ROM?
Searched this forum and got everything about ROM's but one single stock ROM.
The official ROM's by Dutty seem to be based on 6.1 as well.

You can also try his R12. I never had this issue using his ROM´s.

So then the already given advices were in vain? Or did I get something wrong about the meaning of a stock rom?
I guess the best solution would be that people who already solved this problem will post which ROM's they exactly used for stock-reflashing.
Thank you

None of them are 6.5 ofcourse.

I think im pretty screwed then. My usb-port doesnt work anymore. I already bought a new cable, used different pc's, different roms, settings but it just don't work. I think its a hardware failure. So i flash my Roms with the micro sd card method (copy blacimg.nbh to card).
But to flash a stock rom, i need a stock spl. And as far as I know you must have a working usb connection.

Well it doesn't have to be a stock rom to fix it but i think that's te safest choice. I (accidentaly) fixed it by trying some of Miri's rom (because i had trouble with dutty) after a couple of roms from miri's i tried a dutty rom again and it worked.

phone memory error?

I have updated my Diamond with the latest Unsigned SPL (dev. editon)
and had for about 10 versions of 6.5Rom on it.. (over a couple of months)
last time I did get errors in the filesystem (of the phone mem)
all sorts of random letter dirs, sometimes (3 gb) big, and undeletable (with total commander ect..)
when I tought that it was a rom error, I reflashed the rom, but the problem remains (with 3 different 6.5 roms) (they did work before..)
when I Installed 6.5 on it, it also skipped some setup , like I didn't get the screen alignment, then it asks for the time and date, and after that it just skips the password question.. None of the roms work like they should, when installing to device memory the phone often hangs and instalation doesn't complete...
and now for the strangest thing: when i decided to send the phone back for maintance, and i put the original signed SPL and a official 6.1 rom on it, the phone functions normaly! no errors whatsoever...
as soon, as I install a 6.5 rom again, the same problems show up again, the same 6.5 rom that worked before!
what can this be??
I think i might have the same problem on my diamond. I installed a rom based on the new 23001 kitchen floating in the forum. Didn't add anything to it, just 6.5 with tf3d2, nothing else, all i wanted. No custom icons/skins, just plain old vanilla.
After a while i get a similar problem to what you described. File system errors and sometime it even resets the rom to 0 so i have to realigned the screen and set time and date. Then i get memory errors. Really annoying.
I shall try a 6.1 rom later and report back to see if it fixes mine also.
would also like to know why 6.5 seems to do this!

Diamond very VERY unresponsive+other probs.

Hey there, please don't kill me for asking this question. I have searched this forum, and googled my problems, and tried all the suggestions...none work.
I have an htc touch diamond with a wm 6.1, but have flashed MANY different roms in the past 2weeks, including wm6.5 roms. All roms have been downlaoded from XDA.
Hardspl: Olinex 1.30
Radio: Radio v1.00.25.23
My problems...
First my phone started becoming very unresponsive, taking ages to even go into the start menu. I assumed it was the rom that was causing the major slow down, and flashed another...same problem. Then thought okay, maybe its just wm6.5 thats not very stable yet...and flashed a winmo6.1 rom.
It works fine now, but everytime i soft reset it does a hard reset, reinstall's all the wm6.1 cab's, delete's my contacts, messages, email's etc...please, i don't know what to do. My whole life is organized on my phone...i can't keep losing data like this everytime i soft reset.
Thanks in advance...
And thanks for the amazing community and to all contributers!!! you are all doing an amazing job!!!
must have had a bad flash, theres a topic somewhere on how to solve the weird problem
ROM issue....
Try reflashing with an original stock ROM, then flash the ROM you want to use... this cures all sorts of wierd and wonderful issues
Yipee!!
Thank you all, flashing stock rom and then the cooked one worked like a charm. Thanx All!!!
stock ROM
Where did you get the stock ROM? I have a friend that needs a stock ROM that preceded the last ROM update HTC released. He states he has v 6.1 build 20764.1.4.3.

Touch HD running slow, need advice

Hi everyone,
Used cooked roms for a while now, used to use them on my tytn as well.
I have been having such a bad time with my touch HD, i thought it was time to ask what's going on with you lot.
Basically, my touch HD has been running so slow for a while now, that it can even be hit and miss if i answer a incoming call. It even takes 2/3 rings before the ringtone starts up!
I have used miri's wm6.5 v16, but recently updated to he's manilla 2.5 ROM to see if that improved things, it hasn't.
I have radio 1.14 installed along with 1.56oli.
Could i be doing something wrong or is there software out there i have installed that is restricting my touch hd?
Battery life aint too bad so i can't really see it being that.
Any help would be great, my phone is angering me! haha
many thanks for any help!

have you tried flashing back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583&highlight=RUU+blackstone rom?
no, ok, i will take a look at doing that then.
Will i have any issues other than the one stated about hardspl with going back to stock?
If i were to install this, would i then be able to try cooked ROM's again or would i likely see the same as what is happening now? (slow device)
Thanks for the link btw

i am well experience with USPL but nil with HSPL, i have been flashing back and forth stock and any latest Manila 2.5xxxx ROMs using USPL. you can search HSPL thread and look for ways in order for you to flash stock rom and reflash cooked roms.
It sounds like you've correct SPL for rom your using, i.e. SPL 1.56.Olinex, so it shouldn't be a problem with HSPL. You've also tried a different rom which also didn't fix your issue so I'd suggest what jigners said above and restore stock SPL & rom, then re-use dummies guide before flashing cooked rom again.
Alternatively check on Miri thread incase there are issues with his latest rom(s)? If so, there are plenty of other chef's and alternative cooked roms to try before you try restoring stock
maybe you want to try kwbr's Topix rom, it's wm6.1 and fast
I would say go back to stock ROM and start all over again.
Good combo is:
SPL 1.56
EnergyROM
Latest radio is a bit disappointing for me so i am on 1.14.25.24 with its rilphone.dll
Remember to flash with no memory card inside and to do a hard reset after the flash
By the way, have you hard reseted your device after flashing a new rom?
If not then do the hard reset for 2/3 times and observe the performance.
Furthermore, remove the SD card from the device and check the same. Defective SD card simulates the same problem because system requires lot more time to access it.
OK, i have gone back to stock firmware (well most recent offical release anyway)
All seems ok at the moment, it's been up and running for a couple days smoothly now.
I will take a look at the dummies guide and get back to cooked soon.
And yes, i do a hard reset everytime i have flashed, but only, i will try that next time i put cooked ware on the phone. (hopefully later today).
thanks for all the help,

Xperia Restarting problem with Custom Roms

So i have been using Custom ROMs for about a year now with no problems. However, recently i flash to the Valkyrie Firestorm 4.4 (i think) leo and when i attempted to restart my fone it would either hang on the sony erricson logo or it would boot up like it does after a flash. As in it would run the customisation and wipe all my contacts and other information, but strangely enough the clock would remain on the correct time.
This has happened with every firestorm i have tried, which are: 4.4 leo, 4.4 manila and the 4.5 leo. I am going to try a different ROM to see if i still get the problem. has anyone had this problem?
I've re-flashed my hard-spl multiple times to no avail.
Yup I've had the same problem with itje's touch it 14 rom. I have no idea why this is happening, it already occured twice with me.
I had the same problem with the valkyrie 4.4 rom, Itje's Toucht-it Leo v10 and Toucht-It Xperience v2, UnOff 6.5. And also with other versions of itje's Touch-it because i remember seeing the HTCpedia.com customization screen a lot
Every time my phone hung and then when i push the reset button it take's a long time and then it is back to first run. or it does nothing and stays at the touch-it start-up screen.
Could it be a hardware failure like something with the backup batery in the phone? when power goes off it doesn't save data and then when you turn it on it thinks it is first run?
I can always tell when it is going to happen if the favourite programs on the programs tab dont work anymore. When I want to start a program from the tab it says "location not found" or something. After that I will likely have a system freeze and after that I have a hard reset, same sympoms as Aerox912.
So maybe it has something to do with the programs tab?
I am having the same issue with Christians 3.201 build.
Also during the installation it will often hang on the install of Opera or Opera Beta.
But I tried re-downloading and reflashing 6 times before I gave up and went back to an older ROM.
Looking forward to the next version so I can try again. I really like the Firestorm but I also really like the Panels.
Now I just need to find out how to install the SPB Mobile Shell 3 as a panel like on Christians and I would probably stay with my SEX1 build.
Using itje's touch it 15 RC2 and it sometimes, for no reason, phone just reboots. It used to happen with version 14 as well. Never used to have that problem before then.
I tried with rotastrains Blaze rom. the latest edition and i am still getting the same issues. I too, can tell when it is going to happen. When the programs can't be run anymore or if the phone freezes and then i need to turn it off, i can almost guarantee that will happen.
Im glad to see im not the only one with the problem, but isn't there anyone with a solution? I've tried everything and i really cant put up with having to wait 15 minutes until my phone is usable everytime it restarts.
Guys, i had this problem with my Diamond recently & i can say that it's more than frustrating.
try this option, I'm not sure if this is the EXACT same process for the Xperia but it did solve my issues. Perhaps scheduling a daily backup of PPCPIMBackup will help keep info up 2 date when the dreaded lockup happens?
hope this helps
flash a stockrom and then the custom rom and the problem should be gone
Why would that help?
I now tried cristians rom, and had the same problem again within one day. I'm now gonna try the MTTY (format) option, see if that helps...

This simple solution seems to work fine for me. Thanks man!
The MTTY solution for formatting the phones ROM area worked just fine for me
Can you point me the mtty formatting method? Please.
I also had this problem once at my x1 and once at my girlfriends diamond. Seems a reflash with a stockrom and after that flash the custom rom again solves this problem.
Atleast it worked for me.
I put on the R3AA014 ROM and am still seeing the problems.
Is there another Stock ROM that would work better?
And I have tried to look up the mtty method and all I find are people talking about it, but not the actual method.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe it isn't a software problem but a hardware problem. Incase no rom fix it.

Could you please describe the process.
I tried the The DEFINITIVE MTTY Thread but the task 29 command did nothing... Though i'm not sure what should happen.
For the Xperia, I heard that the command is Task 28 instead of Task 29 for the MTTY process

Hm... i tried that but that did nothing.
happened to me many times..most frequent is my X1 will restart itself every half an hr...very frustrating
SOLUTION:
Format Your SD card (don't be lazy and just delete the old stuff and put new rom file in there).....put a fresh copy of the .nbh file in root.
Hard reset after flash.
Problem should be gone

[Q] this is how new bees or moderate users of wm brick their phones.....must read

Well it was a terrible mistake i made and i was quite sure this time it would have gone miles away( my kaiser)
i flashed my Kaiser for over 11 times in past one week
every time i flash with Ahmed Fakiry rom and tried to install different cabs ( downloaded from different sources, mostly xda-developers) my phone went on sleep due to bad factors( like once i by mistake installed QVGA themes of SPB 3.5x) to my Kaiser and in result its lost
then again same ahmed fakery rom flashed and i uploaded a battery saving tweak but same problem with flashed rom, gone and stuck with windows image after boot( no hard or soft reset seems to be working)
Well Lastly today when my phone was perfectly working, having 6.5 cooked rom Ahmed Fakiry with SPB shell and all basic required cabs, i was using opera 10. through wifi, surfing XDA-Developers, i saw iphones today and i hit the cab button and with in a whle it was on board
right after it was installed, working perfectly, i click settings, then my kaiser was hang, battery removed, soft reset, memory card removed, hard reset using soft buttons and stylus, etc, nothing seems to be working fine with my phone
at last again xda-developers forum....
so finally i re flashed my phone with boot loader mode and usb, same FAKIRY ROM, but again the same problem was commin.....my question here is why it happened again and again( i flashed it three times using boot loader, whereas i re flashed my phone using boot loader with Dutty official 6.1 rom and its working fine and phone was alive again
Can some one help me in this matter that if there is a crush on your cooked rom with such kind of issues, why this problem is occurring again and again and if now i wish to flash my rom again using sync( phone is currently having dutty 6.1 5.2.19716 UC to Ahmed Fakiry roms( 6.5)ahmedfikry wm6.5 23569 Tilt 3D UC light rom V3.....?
Please post your valuable comments and guide me in this regards and others like me....appreciated your response
EDIT:
WELL i again flashed and upgraded to ahmed Fakiry rom (ahmedfikry wm6.5 23569 Tilt 3D UC light rom V3) from old dutty 6.1
now its working fine
but waiting for advise from experts....
