[SOLVED] Rom issue - problem soft reset or turning off wipes phone - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

I have tried several roms over the last few days but all have shared the same issue. I tried both the Sh3lby roms and Duttys roms. When I flash it everything works fine, it installs ok and everything appears to work. However, whenever the phone has an error or when I soft-rest or turn the phone off, all my files are deleted and I need to set-up the os again (align screen etc). So essentially everytime my phone is turned off or restarted it performs a hard-rest. Does anyone know any solution to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Update - Returning to stock rom appears to have solved the issue. Thank-you for the replies.

I'm not sure what the cause is but I have seen the same thing on some of the newer builds.

Did you follow the flashing guide? What method did you use? Did you do at least one hard reset after flashing? If you provide more information on how you flashed your phone, it would be helpful.

I used the flashing rom guide in the past, however, I think I am familiar with flashing now and have flashed many successful roms in the past without this issue. I hard reseted after flashing too :S

Have a look Here

Please delete.

I had the same issue recently. Flashing back to a stock rom, hard resetting then flashing the desired cooked rom resolved the issue for me.

had to follow the same procedure for the first time in 70+ flashes of my HD over the last 8 months! never once thought it would help, but it did. fyi, my problem was a freezing, unresponsive device immediately after waking from sleep. it's been 4 days since and no issues...

[Q] Galaxy S stuck in boot-loop

Hi guys,
Gone through about 100 threads these last couple of days, but nothing helps, so have to start a new one.
What happened was that the other day my phone started ringing.
The screen however was black, so I could neither see who was calling nor answer the call.
I let it ring out, then I held the power button so it would shutdown.
Tried to restart it, and that's when the fun started.
The phone got stuck in a boot-loop, only showing the Galaxy S logo (not getting to the animated one).
Left it in this loop for several hours, since I've had problems recently with the phone needing to do this cycle 5-10 times before booting up.
This time it wouldn't boot, however.
I've tried putting the phone in a bag of rice for 18 hours, in case of any moisture inside, not helping.
Then I tried recovery-mode, formatting the whole thing, but I got the following error:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Found this thread to try to fix the format error.
Got into download mode, but Odin does not recognize the phone, and I started believing all hope for fixing it without sending it in was gone.
I've also tried applying a couple of update.zip's from the SD-card, just to have tried it, but every package got Signature verifcation-error.
Anyway, when I headed to bed last night I left the phone in the boot-loop, and to my surprice, 8 hours later it had booted into first-time configuration.
YES!!!
Configured the phone with language etc., then all of a sudden the animated Galaxy S logo appeared...
And it appeared again, and again, and again for about 15 min., until I unplugged the battery.
And now I'm back at square one, stuck in the boot-loop (not getting to the animated logo)...
I have the latest versjon of KIES, not that it probably matters.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
What rom were you using? stock or custom? Maybe it has something to do with lagfix if it was activated... im guesing, im not dev just normal user... Maybe try to reinstal usb drivers.
Just use odin 1.3 reflash official rom , everything would be OK.
Not sure about the ROM, bought the phone used... But pretty sure it's stock..
Since Odin didn't recognize the phone, reflashing it with official ROM would be hard...
However, as for the Odin problem, that was caused by a faulty USB-cable...
Used another one, and Odin worked like a charm.
The phone won't start after running through the steps in the thread I mentioned before, but I will try to reflash it with offical ROM now and see how that works.

Not sure about used phone, But if I bought the phone used, I would reflash rom first. Because I do not even know what they done before , reflash offical rom would be fix some problem.

Well, I would have if I knew... But stupid me thought that a phone was a phone.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, a little update here (the problem is kind of solved now):
Flashed the phone with 2.3.3 Gingerbread I found on dkszone, after running the steps in the previous mentioned thread.
And the phone started like a charm.
But after a few hours of configuring etc, I managed to insert the SD-card again, and all hell broke loose again...
Come to think about it, thats what I did yesterday too, so I've come to the conclusion that the SD-card is the main problem...
However, now the phone is slow... REAL slow... Kind of like my 1.5 year old HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WP6.5...
It takes up to 2 seconds to open menu items, keyboard etc.
Is there any way to fix that?
Or should I flash it with another ROM?
You mean the external sdcard? Maybe try to format it...
OK, so this is what I've now figured out:
The phone is damaged...
It seems that the internal SD has gone AWAL, and internal storage has somehow created itself on the external SD-card, thus the phone crashed when I switched cards...
When trying to format the USB-storage, I receive error: SD-card has been removed
So I guess I have to ship the phone off to Samsung ASAP...

[Q] when you turn it off you will never turn it on again

Hi guys,
I've been looking around a bit but unfortunately I did not find any solution to my problem
Well, I'm a newbie and I got my desire c last december.
Basically since I got it, I've been flashing loads of different roms and never had a problem with it.
Yesterday, I wanted to try the cm10 and I started having difficulties: I got a bootloop after flashing it.
I said "no problems", I tried to reflash it and got the same..then I decided to change rom.
When I changed I had no problems at all..well till I decided to turn off the phone.
Here is the situation I'm stuck now: no matter which rom I decide to flash I always report the same problem, when I turn off the phone I'm never able to turn it on again (when I turn it on I can see the htc logo and only a black screen after)
how can I resolve that? Please I need some help

I'll suppose you tried clean flashing. Check which kernel you are using.
You need to use CM10 kernel for CM10 and Sense for the Sense roms.
If its the correct kernel, try a lower clock frequency.
If you havent tried clean flashing:
Dirty flashing can cause a lot of errors so i suggest that you perform a clean flash.
If you get this error again, you should try to post a logcat using adb. There are guides on how to do that all over the web.
I hope i helped, and if there are any further questions, ask away :3
ommicsiy conduted
thanks for the answer!
well actually I did a clean flash..
and it can't be a matter of kernel since I tried different roms with different kernels and the problem is the same..
tomorrow after work I'll try the logat and post it
since I was not able to do it trough adb (-waiting for the device- for about 30 mins..)
I flashed again a rom and used catlog.
here is the outcome!

[Q] Sprint HTC One reboot issue

I got a Sprint HTC One last week, rooted it, s-offed it and flashed several ROMs on it.
My problem is that in every ROM I've tested, the phone reboots after a couple of minutes.
Here are the ROMs I've tried so far:
- CLEAN ROM SPR 2.5
- CM-10.1-20130714-NIGHTLY-m7spr
- MIUI_m7wls_signed_07042013
- Slim-m7spr-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Odexed_05.17.13
- Stock_w_Goodies_One_1.06
- viperROM_One_v1.1.0
I'm using TWRP 2.5, advanced wiping: dalvik, cache, data, system before flashing the ROM.
Does anyone have sugestions?

I guess that's a slightly different problem then mine.
My phone is S-OFF already and I've wiped and flashed almost every single ROM out there and the phone reboots (doesn't shutdown) every 2 minutes...
After I read some other similar issues, I'm guessing I'll have to use a RUU tool to fix the problem. The other problem is that I only have Mac and Linux...
I've read a post advising to copy the ROM file to the root of the phone's internal storage in order to do a proper flash.
Since I was always flashing the roms directly from an external usb thumb drive, I thougt it was a good idea.
I copied Android Revolution 2.5 to the phone's memory, wiped everything and flashed it. Installation whas OK so I rebooted. When selecting the wi-fi network on the initial setup I received a message saying "avoiding poor signal network" even thoug my router was about 10ft from me. After finishing the initial setup I rebooted the phone and then it got stuck hard.
Even when pressing the power button for over 20 second it didn't shut down. Now I'm waiting for the battery to die so I can see what happens on the next boot.
Again, if someone can help me on this situation, I'll appreciate it...

press the buttons while holding phone under a bright light and it will reboot, if that rom was a 4.2.2 rom from the intl. forum you're going to have to ruu it.

This!
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I've only used Sprint ROMs but still got those freaking reboots. Only by using RUU (provided by viperboy) I managed to solve the reboot issue.
Now I'm waiting for a software SIM Unlock solution, since I'm in Brazil an cannot unlock it OTA.
I'll post an update here as soon as I have a solution...

[Q]Help me with this particular N910T

Hey folks, first thread ever, I really need help with this troubled N910T, DOK2, Android 5.1.1
Whats wrong with this phone:
The contact app will stop everytime I open it, since contact app is combined into Phone app, so the Phone app will also stop everytime I click on it. However, the situation will be fixed if I change the locale to English. (The phone belongs to a Asian friend)
One of the instant message app, the Wechat, similar to Whatsapp Messager and Facebook Messager, will not receive any kind of notification, at all.
The phone's battery drop from 50% to 1% then turn off itself in minutes.
The last two problems may be unrelated issues to the first one, and that is not the main reason I'm really here. I have ODIN flashed the latest firmware over 10 times and all THREE of the problems still exist after all that.
And whats bothering me is that ODIN flash firmware WILL NOT FACTORY RESET this phone, that doesn't make any sense to me. Please let me know if I make a mistake about that, because every other phone or tablet I have worked on before will always be factory reset after flashing a OEM firmware.
I have also flahed TWRP and wiped everything from the System to the internal storage and reflash the firmware but the problem is still there.
sort of things have been done to the phone may have something to do with the problems:
installed the zips I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pt-touchwiz-bloating-script-222-apps-t3258537
it debloated the phone.
the phone was lost in a rainy day, found again two days later. Remote lock and wipe preformed via Android Device Manager but the wipe process never go through.
Please let me know if the phone is worth saving at all, I have spent days in this phone fixing and researching for solution. I found no similar issue around here, and the phone is out of warranty.
Thank you and please let me know should I throw this thing away.
Battery needs to be replaced. Are you sure you flashed right firmware for 910t not 910t3?

It's a N910T, and the ODIN sucessfully passed everytime but will not factory reset the phone,.
Have you tried going into recovery and factory reset it yourself

Many times already.
If you haven't done so, you may want to do a clean install which means wiping system, data, dalvik and cache at least three times in custom recovery such as TWRP. Then you can try ODIN baseband, bootloader, rom and kernel (if rom doesn't contain one), custom recovery. Next you boot into customer recovery again and do a factory reset and that should do it. Let me know if that helps.
