big problem with touch hd - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

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

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.

2 SPONTANEOUS HardReset in 2 Days

I had the first HardReset with FS v3.4 LEO-HORIZON, yesterday, then the second with FireStorm v3.4 Rhodium\TOPAZ, today.
Nobody gives any support in the chef's thread so I'm reaching out to you all.
The possibility to have a faulty harddisk is starting to make me -->
It happened out of the blue, after a normal softreset....
UPDATE: Stable on NRG ROM!
Code:
[QUOTE="Ersill, post: 4519631, member: 357935"]What the...?? Some program didn't launch so I check the root and there were only "Storage Card" and "Windows" folder along with plenty of " . " folders. I pressed the power bottom to shutdown and reboot and the welcome screen came up!
Unexpected HARD-Reset? :(
What did I do wrong?[/QUOTE]
Nobody knows? I'm afraid it could happen again! :(
Uhm, flash to something more stable...
I had the same problem with both Itje's and Firestorm's ROMs. It happened 4 times in 2 days with Itje's, and 6 times in a 2 week period. I noticed it when I went into flight mode and also when I switched off - on both occasions I was catching a plane (or was just getting off one.)
Hard reset, reflashing and still had problems. Solved by flashing to Energy's ROM which has so far been stable even after switching to flight mode.
odd...but agents roms are all stable for me...i flash and then hard reset and its goin strong so far...never had probelms with Itjes roms either(minus the connection setup constantly being an annoyance)
Or you can always use the OEM ROMs and see if that still produce the same results.
you can use vlite cobalt hardcore.very stable and fast.cheers

the problem is: flashing so many Rom's you have bits and pieces from one and bits and pieces from others because the flah process doesn't completly erase all the data that you don't need in the new Rom. it's not agent's or itje's fault. the solution for me was flashing a stock rom and after that flashing the custom rom that i want. you don't need to reflah stock spl. for 4 days i didn't have any hard resets. i will post again in a couple of days if the problem reappears. if not it means that everything is back to normal. i now that it takes more time but my advice is to flash a stock rom first everytime before flashing a custom rom. and don't forget to hard reset just after flahing. hope this solves your problems also as it did with me
i have never encouter any of these in either itje's or agent's roms...
u might wanna try reformat your sd card again and then flashing through your card
I've never got this problem
Me neither; especially not with the ROMs you mention...
i had this problem happen to me on agent's leo.. but with FS, it's as stable as ever!
Hard Reset might be able to solve some problems. It did for me. Hopefully for you
THANK you all guys! I was lost and scared but now I'm happy again
I'll try the "OEM ROM first" method and I'll give you updates.
I'm running the latest NRG rom. I hope for the best.
See ya!
had this problem too... I flashed to stock ROM and stock SPL (don't know if last is necessary). My x1 is in repair now (keyboard), after that I'll flash back to hardSPL/custom roms (or maybe I'll sell my x1)

So i hardreset after i've flashed a custom rom, but do i also need to hardreset after an oem rom flash? thx
I have never encountered any sponaneuos hardresets. It's pretty odd. Have been using almost everyone of agents roms.
Maybe you accidentally pressed the hardreset button. Twice.
I've just started getting these issues with the latest Firestorm ROMS. Glad it's not just my phone... I'll try flashing OEM first before as suggested and see if that fixes the problem. Going from a fully functioning phone to a hard-reset one whilst at work is not too great an experience! At the moment I've completely lost all faith with my X1 :-(
I had exactly the same problem. I flashed many roms but still had this problem after I flashed to new roms. To solve it I flashed back to a stock rom (And stock SPL fyi) and I used it for about two weeks to test if it was the rom. The problem never happened again and now Im happy again on Agents FS 3.4

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

My HD auto reset back to default setting ,after restart from hang

After i flash rom. When my HD phone hang, so take out the battery and put it back to restart it .. the whole phone will reset to default..... just same like brand new phone without setting. it happen many times, what happen on my HD ?
Have you tried using the red reset button next to the SD card slot?
Yes i do , i try many kind of restart , but when my HD hang ... i restart it. it will back to default setting
if it happens always with the same rom, i suggest you try to change rom and see if that happens again. if it happens with different roms, you should flash back your stock default rom and then proceed flashing another custom rom and see if it does it again. Many times reverting to stock rom from time to time has been proven to solve some weird behaviours.
I would suggest flashing stock rom first before following this guide to flash a cooked rom again

Did you use either HSPL or USPL before flashing rom? You will need to use one of these or your HD will hang. If you are having difficulty with that guide, post your query in that thread
I have got mine reset to default too.
My rom is Xannytech 2.2
HD Hangs. After a reset, it returns to the setup progress.
The setup progress is the setup progress of installation.
After the installation, calibrate the screen, set time zone.
the rom returns to function!!!
I am lucky I have saved all my data in the SD card, and backup my contact list and sms in Myphone.
It is quite a good auto recovery system.
The only application I installed is chinese font and htc 6.1 chinese input method.
Before the HD phone hangs, it is running opera 9.7.
I have ~ 500 contacts. and 300 sms..
As per Fallen Spartan's question above, have you used either USPL or HSPL before you flashed?

Whats your SPL in bootloader? Was USPL or HSPL successful? Did you hard reset after flashing rom?
I had exactly the same problem after using xannys 2.2 rom. I'm using Hardspl. Even reflashed HSPL but it didnt help.
What did help was to flash another rom (Xnors) multiple times. Since that my phone did not hang again.

Alternatively flash stock rom before flashing another cooked rom. This method appears to solve a number of reportewd issues

I am sure Xannys 2.2 have this problem , i have already flash many many rom for more than one year is no problem.
The same happens to me but with all the roms (Xanny, Sh3lby 1.10/1.9/1.7 (although they were working fine), Xnor and PDAViet).
Do you know where I can find a stock rom?

EDIT: Found on the HTC official website and look here for the method.

Actually problems appear when I use Myphone. 2 options:
- Either it finished and then it freezes randomly from then, hard-reset itself, never complete it, reboot and get stuck on the black screen with radio information.
- Either it doesn't finish and when I try to exit/stop the program, it freezes and same than above happens.
Trying to get back to stock rom but battery's still not at 50% charge. So waiting a bit and playing with it without using myphone to see if it get blocked again...

Yes, i use HSPL (ISO-8859-1''HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex ) , then the rom i flash is RUU_Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_5_Leo_R7 .
Well , i try to combine some of the opinion and flash rom again, this is what i do :
Step 1. I flash back the original rom ( RUU_BlackStone_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.18.707.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship ) . then hard reset twice.
Step 2. Then install HSPL (ISO-8859-1''HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex ), then reset twice .
Step 3. Flash custom rom ( RUU_Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_5_Leo_R7 ), the reset twice .
Today is my second day after flash... so not sure will have the same old problem happen .... i wish nothing happen and can use smooth
I experienced the same issue with Miri V 14.0 two days ago. I never believe it does happen until it happened to me despite the fact that I always flash a custom rom before flashing any cooked rom.
Mine first came up with a message that I need to reset my device to factory settings because I have installed an application that is not compatible or not signed on my phone, message was when I performed a soft rest after phone freeze.
