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

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+ç^, 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.
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..

most probably it wll not..
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.

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.

Here you can find all the stock ROM's:

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.
I'm sorry for this post, because the answer is probelly somewhere on this forum. But I can't find it.
I have my diamond for about a year now and I like to install a custom rom with windows mobile 6.5. But I can't seem to figure out what I need for this.
I already chosen a rom, but I have no idea if it is any good, because there are so many roms out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563245
So my first question, is this rom any good?
Second question, what type of hard SPL do I need, Do I need the normal one that requires roms to be signed or do I need the developers edition?
Third question. Do I need MTTY for this or can I first try it without MTTY?
And the last question, if I don´t like the rom is it easy to install the original rom again or do I need to do something special for that.
I hope you guys can answer my questions so I can start flashing my rom.
Grtz, Eric
EDIT: I tried installing hard-SPL unsigned, but get an error that it can't connected to my phone. But it is connected using windows mobile device center
why do you want to flash a new rom?
ive recenetly done the same, i wanted to flash my rom as the original was tied to vodafone and some of the features like youtube, facebook, and opera wouldnt work as they wanted vodafone connection ( im on virgin mobile).
anyway after much trial and error i in the end found it versy easy.
3 simple steps. first flash your bootloader
i found the best and easiest one was spl olinex version 4.0
u need to softboot to do this ( hold the down volume and switch on phone, have usb cable connected then use the flash util provided with the above.
once thats done you need to flash rom the radio
again the one out there that seems the best to use is version 1.00.25.05 diamondruu radio
again soft reset so you get the try colour screen and run the flash rom update ( takes about 2 mins at most)
finally choose your version of win mobile 6.5 ( i got windows revoluton 7.1 ultra clean edition)
do soft reset again, then run the flash update and again this takes about 5-10 mins for this)
all worked perfectly for me and it was my first try.
though i will be changing it as the revolution is missing some vital aspects i like.
i know its basic but hopeully you can see its not the daunting prospect some people make out though any rom upgrade carries a minot risk i found this to be as easy as 1,2,3
good luck

Because I would like some new features on my phone. Like wm 6.5 or a new version of manilla. It's getting a little boring having the same phone for over a year.
@miramele, thanks for your response. I'll give it a try tomorrow and hope I won't brick my phone.
let us know how you get on, it took me several attempts as each time i was trying while within the phone itself, if you hold the down volume key and power on the phone you get the tri colour screen, in this mode i had 100% success each time.
doing it within the OS with phone on it just stuck at 0%.
And since then i have re flashed it with a diff version of wm 6.5 that i prefer and all is good.
the version i flashed to is the manila 2.1 with the latest touchFLO 3d so ive not even bothered with Spb mobile shell though may add this later.

Thanks for the advice, if I understand correctly I have to get to the tri-color screen and then install hard-spl? But can I connect to my laptop while in this mode?
I'm gone try it tomorrow because I didn't have any time today.
Thanks for all the help, especially miramele.
I made the step and am now running a custom rom without any issues. Many thanks for the help and for pulling me over the line.
hi all!
i got a big problem with my touch hd...
after flashing several roms, i flash since miri V20, my phone startet to hang very often. everything is working fine after flashing, but when i want to use opera via wifi for example it hangs - even the hardkeys aren't responding anymore. after a soft reset it shows the "smart mobility screen" and does nothing anymore, only after a hardreset the phone boots again. this behavior startet with flashing the 6.5.x ROMs i think, before that i had no problems. i'm using radio 1.17.25.09 and xannytech ROM evo 1.4 right now.
i flash via hspl and yes, i did a hardreset after every flash
any idea what i can do to get back a working phone?
thank you!
hm... have you done the HR after flashing - I mean really after flashing including the base-program installation. Try to install new rom fully, then HR.
Otherwise it does not look like the rom problem. Maybe ur wifi is broken?...
Then - have you combined good XIP, RIL and Radio? I read here in the forum a good combination is needed or the phone could hang sometimes...
(Generally - I do not want to scare you however I think it is really a HW problem)
yes, i did the hardreset every time directly after flashing the ROMs.
hmm, i think i try another radio and flash again, when it behaves still wired you could be right an its a HW problem -.-
the wifi works well when i update weather or download quickgps data, so i don't think its broken. i had this behavior even when i wanted to change my background wallpaper in the last xnor ROM...
its really strange Oo
you can also try to flah a stock rom firts and then do the normal flahing procedure of the rom you want
sometimes it is possible that the prvious rom leaves traces arround on youre phone that doesnt like the new rom and therefor it could hang
so try to flash a strock rom first and then the rom you want maybe it helps
best regards

It has been known that if you constantly flash your HD, sometimes this can cause HD to hang/freeze etc. A method which seems to fix this is to return to stock rom, then use dummies guide to flash cooked rom again
thank you all guys!
i will flash back to stock ROM as mentioned and then flash my fav custom ROM.
i let you know if the problem is solved then.
thx again!
Hi to all , could we know finally what you did so make your phone work again ?
yes, I'm interested too.
I had similar problems, no matter what rom i tried i had freezes and hang ups, and strange behavior, and after flashing stock rom and then another rom smooooth sailing all the way since so i reckon its a good thing to do every fifth flash or so.
hi all!
think i solved my problem by flashing the latest stock ROM as advised by other users. after that i flashed my prefered custom ROM and now the device flies Oo respond time is much much better, no lags or hangups till now...
i'm happy again
greetings
ive done a lot of research and still cant find a solution. im sort of a newb, heres the problem my wifes TP2 when she turns it off and turns it back on the phone gets stuck on bootloadr screen, tried to hard reset but wont do anything. but when i plug it with usb to my laptop if i soft reset it will boot up.I read that alot of people had the same problem and just had to install a coocked rom, well i did i installed energys rom but it still had the same issue. Now its back to stock rom. any info on how to fix this is appreciated and thnx in advance.
Get it replaced under warranty
if you were able to flash a cooked rom, you must have installed hard-spl.
when did you do this, after the problem appeared to be able to flash the energy rom, or before? maybe this could be the problem...

when did you do this, after the problem appeared to be able to flash the energy rom, or before? maybe this could be the problem...

well the first time her phone did it i googled the problem and it brought me here, a thread that said stuck at bootloader screen and their solution was flashin a cooked rom. well it got the phone to boot after i did that but every time if she turns it off and back on it gets sutck at the tri color screen. i installed hard spl when i was flashin rom.
here is a thread on the subject already.[/QUOTE]yea been at that thread also,but my problem is that when i turn the phone off and when i turn it back on it wont boot up it just gets stuck there, like i stated above i already flashed hard spl and flashed a energy rom but it still does the same thing. i flashed the phone back to the original rom but is still gets stuck, the phone works as long as she dont turn it off but after awhile her ram goes up to like 80 so i have to turn it off, and to turn it back on i have to use my laptop. and thanx for the help guys i really appreciate it. and phone dont have warranty i bought it on craigslist.
Since it's going to the tri-color bootloader screen, seeing as normally to get to that screen you would hold volume down on boot, have you checked inside the back of the case to make sure there isn't dirt/debris jamming the volume down button? If the volume adjusts normally once you do get it booted, that may not be it, or maybe it's just a short in the key.
Also, both the stock ROM and energy ROMs are bad about eating ram, and need to be rebooted regularly. Maybe try one of the ROMs that doesn't, like a Jackos rom, which you can leave running for days without a reset. Might not solve your problem, but might at least take some of the bother out of it.

I take it you haven't used the latest NRG ROM. Mine runs for several days.

You've got me, there. The last energy rom I tried was a little bit ago, and was a Maxsense version at that. Even still, it soundly failed my Opera Mobile 10 test on a clean flash off of a fresh boot (it would autokill OM 10 to free up ram without any other apps open). Any rom that does that goes straight into the bin as far as I'm concerned.
I have been meaning to drop one of the more recent builds on to see if that was just a bad experience. Maybe try one of the titanium versions, just to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake. Either way, this has now gotten at least a bit off topic. =P

yea i have the sep 18 nrg rom on mine wich now runs very good. well after a couple reboots with the phone plugged to my laptop, i unplluged it and tried a soft reset and thank god it booted normal, i then powered the phone off and turnd it back on and it worked. dont know what the problem was but i appreciate everyones help.
There is different things that you can do to try and resolve your problem. Start by finding a rom that you would like to install on your phone and save the file to your SD Card. FL5 Mentioned Jacko's rom and I swear by it as well. I run the showlite version modified to my liking and still have on average about 80 mbs of ram open.
2nd thing to do would be a Task 29 which will pretty much formats your phone. This is important to do because if there is any "debris' left over from any of the roms you have installed, this will take care of that. "Debris" at times cause issues that you cannot pinpoint and interfere with the rom that is currently installed. It is also important that you do this step second because once you do a Task 29 you will not be able to flash through USB. At least, I have not been able to do so. I flash from my SD Card. You can get Task 29 here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Once you do that, flash your rom from your SD Card by following the directions here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Hopefully this fixes your problem. If it doesn't, you don't have to soft reset to free up ram. I use software called "cleanram" and usually run it on level 3 which means that it thoroughly finds processes taking up ram and reclaims it. You can also schedule a daily, weekly, hourly clean under the settings menu. You can find that here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514333
Best of luck.
Oooooooooooo yeah! Task 29 is absolute magic. Completely wipes your NAND before a flash to remove the chance of old ghost files from past ROMs jacking up your system. If you've followed any of the flashing tutorials on the board then you've definitely been doing this step, and thus this shouldn't have been your problem. Not everyone has problems if they skip it, but all sorts of seeminly otherwise random problems can pop up otherwise.

Eh ? I don't know what's going wrong for you, but that's completely untrue. After running task29, you need to unplug the phone from the PC, put the phone into the bootloader (e.g. press reset while holding down the Volume Down button), wait for it to come up and say "Serial" at the bottom, then plug it back in and it should say "USB". Then you can flash via USB (which is safer than flashing from SD card, since it does more checking).

The 20 Sep ROMs have the option of using quick menu. With that option, even with Sense 2.5 and CHT (a RAM hog), I have 88 Mb available on a normal basis. I don't use Opera 10 (also a RAM hog), but I think it would work with the new ROM.
You have to manually select the Quickmenu option.
well the problem with her phone is fixed. but now my hardware keys stay on dim but they stay on, im gonna try doin task 29 and reflashing a rom see if that takes care of my issue.
Well just for future references, I had all of the above problems and tried all of them. Issue did not go away until I did the following steps..:
Run Task 29
Flash new ROM (Issue still exist)
Flash New Radio (Issue still exist)
Reflashed Hard-SPL (This somehow fixed the issue....)
