EMERGENCY! reset completely resets phone! erases contacts etc! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

WTF?! starting yesterday, every time my phone resets it completely restores my phone as if it's the first boot everytime! It's happened with 2 different roms. I'm eligable for an upgrade but I'm trying to hold out for the touchpro2 for att to come out... please advise!

WTF?!? starting today, i can no longer use my mind reading skillz!!!
plz post more information, ESPECIALLY when starting a NEW thread, ESPECIALLY when this is a common problem with quite a few new WM6.5 ROMs and ESPECIALLY because there is a known workaround listed in the FAQs of the affected ROMs. have you read those FAQs? have you read the threads for the ROMs?

Yes I have oh mighty computer nerd that sits at a keyboard and spits out insults so he feels better about himself! Turns out I have to get into a bootloader and run some program except that I also can't get into bootloader by holding down camera and power buttons.. another problem I've searched but found no answer to. Also after checking the kaiser FAQ and the FAQ for the rom I'm using I couldn't find the answer to this problem.. would love to try :
Procedure:
1. bring the device to bootloader.
2. Launch ActiveSync on PC
3. Go to connection settings
4. Uncheck the Allow USB Connection
5. Now, run mtty1_1_.42_538 on PC.
6. CMD>task 29
7. Flash the ROM of your choice.
And, Voila!!! the device is back to stable condition. (I hope)
As my device is running now on my own cooked ROM for the past few hours and no prob at all......
but like I said I can't get into bootloader. If anyone else has any ideas or can link me to a solution, I would love nothing more than to be proven an idiot and get my phone up and running.

Why in the heck would anyone come HERE with a Heart Attack Emergency...first they would have to do a search and read 75 pages of information about heart attacks, then, after having attempted 1934 different variations of CPR, the poor f***er is dead!!! Heck, all we had to tell him was "You can't do CPR on a duck."

Well - here is what I would do -
1. remove the battery and put it back in.
2. make sure that you have it plugged in - with it plugged in do you have any lights flashing?
3. My understanding from your post is that you have NO EVIDENCE of power on your phone whatsoever - meaning no lights - if so and what i have suggested to you does not work - then you will have to take it back to whom ever you purchased it from and hope the warranty works.
You did not indicate:
1. where you are located
2. who your carrier is
3. what you had on the phone before you flashed
4. what you tried to flash to
You also did not indicate if the phone was SPL'd before you flashed?
(Not that ANY of those things matter if you have no power on the phone as no recovery can occur if you really need a "resurrection"

No lights what so ever. It had SPL'd on it I flash a new rom and when it finish that was it. The carrier is Cingular in New Jersey. Also I bought it from a person, not from a store. I took the battery out over night and nothing, still no lights. I guess is dead. Thanks

That sound you hear is the fat lady singing I am afraid my friend.
I DOUBT it - but you COULD try a new battery or play around with touching the battery several times to the circuitry (I have seen this in some of the other threads that talk about battery issues and charging issues - hey what have you got to lose?)
Bill
Maybe use it to keep a door open or build a fancy mailbox that kids won't kit with a baseball bat.
Yeah the no lights is bad.
Be honest here. What did you try to flash? What ROM?

the person who can help has already responded: gsleon3. Explain your problem to him in detail and he can help you recover.
See people, take note: this is why its VERY important to read wiki/faq/stickies before doing anything to your precious and expensive devices.

Backlight/Screen won't stay off, turns back on after only moments!

I've had this tilt for a couple of days now and this new screen problem only started happening today. My screen/backlight turn back on moments after being turned off, either by the power button on the side or after the short timeout.
I've searched through the forums to no avail. My bluetooth and WiFi are already turned off and I do not have any programs running in the background.
The problem only appeared today and the only program I've installed today is Xpress Mail. Could Xpress Mail be causing this problem?
Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. This little glitch is getting on my nerves pretty bad.

This sounds like the opposite issue of the known backlight error.
You can try this to see if it might happen to also solve your issue.
http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=67&cat=all
I just gave that a try but it didn't work. I'm still having the same problems as before.
I also uninstalled Xpress Mail but that didn't work either.
Any other suggestions??
The only other thing i could recommend is a hard reset. Have you tried that yet ? ( It will restore the phone back to factory )
To do this you will need to hold the stylus in while pressing these buttons ( Red dots ) :

Maybe I'll tackle that tomorrow. I've been adding and customizing things obsessively for a few days, wiping the slate clean might take some getting used to.
Thanks for your input!
Anytime! Thats what we are here for I just wish I have a better answer for you. Something somewhere seems to have changed a registry setting it seems. Easiest way to fix is to reset
On the plus side, it gives you the opportunity to install a custom rom that is much faster and has no bloatware ( If you feel brave enough to try ). Flashing sounds much more scary than it really is. There is almost no way to mess up the phone
One more thing. Even if you dont flash a new OS, you can still get rid of the bloatware ( Factory branding with all the apps you will never use ). Just after it hard resets just as the screen changes to " Customizing in 3 seconds", just poke your stylus in the hole and reboot it. It might take you a few times because I hear there is a split second but trust me it will make things better not being there!
Goodluck!
Check my 2 posts in the thread on page 1 and page 2. Sounds like you have a problem with a stuck camera button
Frank
The button for my camera seems pretty regular. My phone stays off longer than yours in that video, fordmav. Also, on my phone when the phone is off and I push the camera button it does not wake up.
Its looking like a hard reset is in my future.
I had this problem after upgrading to 6.1. It came down to a tweak or set of tweaks that I had applied, but I don't recall what they were. I've caused it using tweaks programs, applying multiple tweaks that caused no issue before. Going back in & undoing the tweaks got rid of the issue. So did a hard reset before I figured it out.
If you do hard reset, make backups periodically as you're installing stuff/tweaking successfully. That way, you can go back to a good point if necessary.
well I don't know what I did but the screen and backlight are remaining off, at least so far today. hopefully that's the end of the story...

Broken USB & bootloader broken, where to go next?

I just got back from holiday, and whilst on holiday i was using the ear phones & music player on the phone. I made the mistake of sitting down, catching the ear phones plug & bending it whilst it was plugged in. This has damaged the USB port. It still charges, but the ear phone/connectivity pins have been broken within the phone.
Too make matters worse, i reset the phone soon after (soft reset) only to be greeted with the screen below. I have tried a hard reset, loading the bootloader (camera, power & reset buttons) and every other combination of buttons iv found on the internet. So far nothing has helped/changed it. The screen doesnt rotate with the keyboard, and the off button doesnt work. (turns phone on, but not off).
I am tempted to send the phone off to HTC, as it is under warrenty but i dont know whether the fact it has a custom ROM on will effect it at all. iv had minor problems with the screen i would ask them to look at aswel.
Would a broken USB be fixable under warrenty? Then would a custom ROM (even if it doesnt boot) cause a fuss? Then finally, is there anyway to flash a new ROM to the phone without using the USB card?
many thanks guys, any advice is appreciated

iv read up on flashing a new rom via my sd card, but i am really struggling to find a the .nbh file (which i then rename). I dont spose anyone can link me to a standard .nbh file could they? Hopefully this will enable me to get it next to standard prior to sending it off to HTC.
thanks guys
if its an .exe rom update, use winrar to extract it and there you'll find the .nbh
I had the same problem, broken usb on at&t tilt, flashed a shipped rom and got a new device via a warranty exchange. I couldn't get the SPL back to original but the guys at the device support center didn't notice.
thank you for the reply mate, was just what i needed!
Unfortunatly it didnt work, and even having put the file on my SDcard and resetting the phone it still boots to the tri colour screen. Got my hopes up, as the phone did load the file and run through it...only for me to reset it and it go back to the tri colour screen.
Will the HTC device centre likely accept it all the same?
cheers guys
Tried it again, this time resetting it, loading up from the SDcard then taking the card out before resetting. Now im getting:
'' Upgrade ROM code error Please try again ''
RUUNBH has also appeared in the top right hand corner, with the same tri coloured screen.
As this is not covered by warrenty (spoke to HTC today) im a bit worried about what i can do. Does anyone have any ideas i could try?
thanks

KAIS130
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
I've had this phone for more than one year and this is the first time I'm having this problem.The phone was on stand by and when I pressed the power button It showed the tri-colour screen since then it keeps showing this.I didn't note the radio version and normally when the phone starts it says smart mobilty before loading windows mobile. The phone is a first hand one and I didn't bought it from any carrier.It's made in Taiwan.Please help me I'm new to these things and I really want my phone back :'(
Did you search or read the wiki for the fix?
Hi, i was watching the wiki for help, but I couldn't find something like that, please if You have some solution for this issue, please help us, I can turn on my device when I connect the charger and press the power on button at the same time, but I can't connect it with my PC, It said "Unkown Device", sometimes before I could connect it but it doesn't work anymore.
You didn't see this in the wiki? If you can't find this link then I would think that you might not be able to follow the directions needed to fix the problem. Sorry I'm board today.

Most likely he will try the above fix and really jack his phone up. If he can't look through the wiki and find the fix (right there in bold letters) I doubt he can use mtty.
Oh, thanks
I don't know what happen with the senior members, if you don't like help junior, ok don't do it, but It doesn't mean that we are not able to do something like that, thanks I found that thread, I can follow some instructions.
Suggesting where the thread was, IS helping..
I often answer questions with an answer, but thats normally when someone has searched and read the Wiki.. Yes I know searching at times can be pretty hardcore, infact this is mostly the hardest place to find stuff while searching. Thanks because you have to wade through so many useless threads.. But this was in the wiki bright and clear as the sun on a cloudless day. If it were a light it would have been so bright that the folks in the space station would have to close the blinds...
Also, wouldn't you say that the Senior members (Mods included) did help by putting together the Wiki and the thread that you need? All that hard work, time and effort, they put into making that wiki..

help! i broke my fone!

i was flashing with a rom and i gotted bored so i turen off my computer now phone wont work adn idk how to fix cuz now i want phone for the phone to mak ework. i need phone to make my calls
how do i fix?
wats the point of flashing it just break my fone and why want to break phone anyways?
Assuming that you are flashing through your computer, if you turn off your computer then the phone cannot get all the data needed to successfully flash.
You'll most likely need to do this.
Power your computer back on.
Power your phone off and have the usb cable plugged in.
Hold the volume down button and press the power button (leaving the volume down button pushed) until you get tri-color screen and it should say USB at the bottom.
Flash the phone as you normally would.
Make sure to pay specific attention to all steps listed in the stickies when flashing your rom and never power down the data source.
Don't ask "what's the point in flashing", since the only reason your phone is messed up is because you screwed up and didn't follow the instructions.
You got bored during the flash and turned your computer off? It only takes a couple minutes!

people that post like you make me want to go clean IN on you. But if you spent all day helping those that may have made small mistakes (like you never had) you wouldn't have a life. So it doesn't happen often. I just chose to acknowledge your ignorance (as i see it)
time to help someone waisted. spent to put them down...hope you got your phone fixed....
If you look at my posts, you will see I try to spend quite a lot of time helping people. But you chose to judge somebody based on one post.
The post above mine already told him how to fix it, so I didn't see the need to rehash.
Also, so many people on here spend tons of time making the stickied guides, detailed instructions in the individual ROM threads, FAQs, etc. that its a bit ridiculous when someone doesn't spend 2 minutes to read them, and then breaks their phone and asks silly questions like "what's the point in flashing".
I really hope this is just a troll post...

Agreed, this is kind of ridiculous. Even if this person had never performed a flash before, there is a progress bar displayed on the PC screen. It takes literally less than 5 minutes to flash. If this person got that bored in that amount of time, then he will probably be too bored to read the replies here to solve the problem.
It's like he's taken A.D.D. to the extreme.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, you got BORED?? oh man.... way to go brother. i was gonna tell you how to fix it, but im wwaayy too bored
Ohhhhh boy..... Alright... If you got bored and turned your phone off WHILE it was flashing then it's nobody's fault but your own that you "borked" your phone...
Take the battery out and then put it back in. Turn it on and it "SHOULD" go to a tri-color screen known as the bootloader screen.
While it's in this screen, connect it to your computer and proceed to flash the FACTORY STOCK ROM for your phone. This should fix your phone...
That being said... Try to have a bit more patience and not get so "bored" while it's flashing. If you want to keep your phone as a functional phone and not a paperweight, you'll follow instructions next time...
Now... Before you get flamed any further...
