Database Develop

since the new Rom-Update it is driving me crasy

I have a really annoying problem with my P4350.
Before the official Update i was running HERALD_WM6.0_4.12.07.06.PDAVIET with 4 MB Pagepool.
it worked really nice and i had never any problem with it.
Now i updated to the official HTC WM6 Rom. First i also installed the OS from PDAVIET over the Official one. But then i encountered after a little time the Bootloop of death.
it was always rebooting, and removing of the microsd did not really helped at the bootloop it was only stopping at the bootscreen and hang there forever.
the only chance was a Hardreset. After that i installed only the official Rom from HTC from the Bootloader. Now i am running only the official WM6 Rom and it is also rebooting after some time. i did not installed anything that i didnt installed also in the original WM5 Rom, and SD-Card removing also dont help.
After some Hardresets i installed a Safemode tool.
now i encountered another Bootloop and i can enter the Safemode. There i sometimes disable a Homeplugin, then it boot again. But not for long, it will hang again in the Bootloop. I have no idea wath File/Program is doing this thing and i have not many applications that boot at startup. It is also happening if i have no Home-Plugins enabled (from Safemode disabled).
can someone help me at this, or is it only possible that i downgrade or never install any application(wath is also no guarantee that it will not again enter the bootloop)
(sorry for every error in my text because i am German)

How long do you wait before giving up when you pull out the SD card? When I installed the home screen I got the continuous reboot and when I took out the sd card it stayed at the green windows mobile screen for about 2-3 minutes before booting into the home screen.
Also, have you tried this: http://www.modaco.com/Continuous-reboots-t256186.html ?

thanks for your help.
But i already waitet for way more than 3 minutes. i think it was ~ a half hour.
I already tried to rename the OMAP850_SDHC.dll but with no luck. The File is in the Rom and it is not alowed to rename this File. (if i look at the Settings from Resco Explorer ROM is activated)
my OMAP850_SDHC.dll is 46.38 kB big and from 02.07.07 5:44 if this information can help.
at the moment i try to avoid a reboot from my device...

I think i found the troublemaker.
I deleted a windows-design that i liked and used in all Rom-versions, and since i deleted the file it seems that the reboot-problem is solved.
If my Herald will hang again in a reboot-loop, i will write here again.
so long... thanks for the help.

Freeze on boot screen

Hello,
Today my vibrator goes mad, so I decided to send my phone back (I still have the warranty).
In order to proceed, I have to put back the official SFR ROM, and luckily I found this link on the wiki : ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Trinity/SFR_S300+_ROM_French_1.23.163.2_Only_OS.rar
So I did a little backup of all my data, I take off the memory card, and I started the installation.
But at 9%, it bugs. Hopefully, the ROMUpdateUtility display a message that I have to put off and put in the USB cable, and retry the installation. Its seems that works, because the transfer was complete and the phone reboot automatically .
But when the phone reboot, it display the classical boot screen SFR Bonjour, show some numbers (M 05 - B 05 - D 1.23 - R 1.50.08.11 - G 32.83.7020.20h) and when this numbers disappear the phone freeze.
I've try to wait half an hour, but the SFR boot screen stay, and the phone didn't respond to anything (I've try to put the power cable, and the LED set on only if the phone is off). I have to put off the battery to turn off the phone.
If somebody could help me, please!
And excuse me if I made any mistake, english is not my native language.

I have the same issue......
I have the same issue, my SPVM700 just sits on the initial splash screen after I tried to re-flash it to the original Orange ROM [as I too had to return it for a warranty repair]. I used Mozzer's Orange ROM [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309959] to restore it - the procedure looked the same as with other ROMs I had successfully loaded but it was only when I tried to restore the official MNO ROM that my Trinity bricked.
I can access the bootloader screen [TRIN100 IPL-0.50, SPL-9.99CP] and can flash the device, where the progress bar always reaches 100% on the PC and the PDA and then the PDA automatically reboots, however, it does not advance past the splash screen.
I have tried the Hard-SPL fix [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659 ] and then re-flashed the device with other ROMs that I had tried previously [Schaps, AX3L, HTC Official WM5 P3600 ROM etc..] but still get no joy - is there something that I should have done prior to re-loading the original ROM that I have missed and is my Trinity now forever a brick?

you've presumably tried a hard reset? but it's not written above so i thought i'd just check.. (pressing two soft reset buttons and pushing the stylus in the reset hole?)

Yes I did try a hard reset even though I didn't expect much from it as I had just replaced the ROM [effectively wiping the ROM and replacing it with a different ROM] and none seemed to boot. Once the device has started booting up, the only way to switch it off is to disconnect the battery [and the only way to switch it back on is to soft reset] so I am guessing there is a hardware issue caused by returning the device to the Original MNO build as this was the ROM upgrade that trashed the device - other ROMs tested prior to this had loaded successfully.

Sorry to bring this back but since the link is in Behemot's sig, it is not resolved yet. Have you guys loaded SSPL before flashing? If you haven't, the OEM Rom won't boot with HardSPL. Try flashing another custom Rom and use this method before flashing the Shipped Rom.
Good luck.

ask ilos for original SFR rom or search for extenue SFR rom. or contact me by personal message and give me your mail i have the SFR ROM without radio ROM (you can get the radio on this forum)...

Sorry, I've forget to update this thread...
So, for me the only solution was to bring back the device to an SFR store (it is still under warranty).
I believed they would reproach me that the RADIO was not the original one or something like that, but no. They didn't make any remark and send my device back with an official SFR ROM.
The only thing is that they take more than a month instead of the traditional two weeks to fix it.
So all is ok for me.
I hope you will solve your problem

Trinity running 6.1 Elegance- totally bricked - please help me!!

Hi all,
I have been visiting these forums for 2 years now and have downloaded some great tools and ROMs to enhance my Trinity, however something all of a sudden has gone very wrong!
I upgraded to WM6.1 Elegance edition about 3/4 months ago, CID unlocked the phone about a month ago and everything has been working like a dream.
However just today, I attempted to turn the volume down on my phone during a meeting (I always forget to normally!) and there was no display. After few battery resets, again no display. It starts up, loads the the Elegance splash screens and then hangs on the screen before when the OS should appear.
My decision was to flash the ROM again. I cant flash using Activesync as it wont pick up on the hung screen, so I started the bootloader and got as far as 1% of the flash and it will restart. So I tried the SD Card method when resulted in a "loading" screen appearing for a few seconds and then it goes back to the standard bootloader and displayed a 00068002 error.
I am out of ideas, I hear mtty.exe is a good program for this kind of thing, but what I want to know is if this is fixable or if I should give up!
I have been working on this since 2pm today none stop!
Can any of you guys give me any suggestions please?!?!?
Kind regards,
Jonathan

Should be a cinch
Did you SPL the Phone before flashing roms?
If you put the phone into the bootloader mode The RGB screen and kill of activesync you should be able to run one of the flash update programs.
If I have flashing problems its usually Active sync so I kill it then run the flash program.
I've got a sneaky suspision your battery might be causing the problem.

Hi there, thanks for the reply. As I was new to upgrading I havent used SPL on the phone before flashing the ROMS. I did use an unlock tool recently as i wanted to try a different network SIM to see if it worked when I was in South America, so the phone is unlocked to all networks. Are you saying if I SPL now it should sort the problem out? If so how do I do this withour ActiveSync working - can you use SD?
Another thing I failed to mention was that when I start an upgrade and it follows all the steps, it doesnt say the current ROM on the screen where you press update ROM. It just gives the name of the new ROM and the current one is left blank.
I have disabled Active Sync before attempting the update. It seems to go through fine and then the phone restarts wafter 1% of the update.
What makes you think it is the battery? I am happy to spend under 20 pound on ebay if you think it will fix the issue!

try unbrick.bat.......my trinity was also stuck.......unbrick.bat save my day....

The same happened to me several time....I could not find a solution other than this one:
1. Flash the official HTC ROM.
2. Flash the required ROM then.
it works for my TrinTy.

Weird Problems & Diamond almost dead (software/ROM)

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.

soft or hard boot causes factory default reset

help help... i've tried multiple roms, currently using TPC 23053, but this is not a rom related problem perhaps... noodling around setting up my email push and contact sync etc.. invariably my att tilt kaiser becomes rediculously slow, won't show anything interesting on the task menu (if I can even load the task app) forcing me to soft boot or hard boot (tried both.) upon rebooting, it restarts windows with factory defaults -- i have to go through the stylus set up and connections - then it hangs on reboot. same problem with every rom i've tried today and yesterday - tried changing battery, same problem. help.
seems to be slightly more complex. only causes the 'reset' when the system becomes so sluggish that i have to reboot it. a normal reset just after a normal restart reboots normally. this is however predictible behavior with the phone. any ideas? hardware/software issues?
checking to see if my rather large (16gig) storage card has any bearing on the issue by (grudgingly) removing it for a bit to see if it starts to slow down again. - will notify upon any results later today.
definitely not the storage card. had a required soft reboot after making an adjustment and it did it again, losing all of my settings, and hanging, essentially forcing me to do a hard reboot and resetting to factory defaults to clean out whatever garbage it created. (no storage card at all installed.)
I'm at my wits end, thinking extreme thoughts like replacing with a fuze or something. should I try reverting to the old wm3? i upgraded because it too had problems - occasionally erasing my storage card ugh...
hate to be flamed on my first post, glad to see i'm not the only one with the issue, however, it is in very small print and says it is strongly recommended that you flash the ATT/HTC stock rom first, then flash the wm6.5 and that this is a common and known issue with all 6.5 roms... not sure why that isn't made more clear, but I will try it now and see if it solves the problem.
using radio 1.65.21.18
rom [9-20-09]NEW Titanium Ultimate 23053||TPCElite series V11 MEGA Edition wm6.5 23017
wm6.5.1
g: 25.88.40.05H
d: 3.TPCElite
note: upon installation - after touch screen setup - and automatic reset there is an error memstatus.exe missing...quick flash hard to read, but then continues to the sim card import and connections setup wizard.
Please be aware, this rom says you do NOT have to install the factory rom first, i'm trying it anyway...this is a final attempt to keep it from resetting itself and hanging upon reboot - soft or hard.
FYI Installing factory ROM first seems to solve the problem. yay.

Having same problem, multiple ROMs
I have tried TPC Elite, Shifu and a couple of stripped ROMs.
No change, seems fine after first reboot after flash but upon next reboot tilt does a factory reset and starts the install process over.
Multiple messages of files not found at start up. Random files and some of the file names are bizarre special characters.
Will try s STOCK AT&T ROM, but have tried already/
Can memory in phone get corrupt??
