Is there a way to format the PDA and reinstall a ROM. My PH20B1 is started to freeze after a ROM is installed and at Complete on the Setup for minutes. I end up just soft-resting cause after mins past its not doing anything....Is there a way to fix that???
Isn't it supposed to be like that? You're supposed to reset after the ROM upgrade shows 100% complete.
I think I understand the problem you have from the limited information supplied.
You have rebooted to a white screen after a failed rom upgrade, correct?
If so, just disconnect your device from the PC, hold power+record buttons, then prod the reset hole with your stylus. You will see "Serial v2.xx" where "xx" can vary. Now attach the phone to your PC (device now shows "USB" instead of "serial").
Next, kill off all activesync processes on the PC (ctrl-alt-del to enter task manager, then end task on "rapimgr.exe", "wcescomm.exe", "wcesmgr.exe").
Now that the device is attached and activesync is killed, start the ROM upgrader application to update the phone ROM.
After successful upgrade, it often helps to reboot the PC as well as the phone, as activesync does not always recover well from having its processes killed.
Im saying that My PDA is starting to freeze. Even after running, its starting to freeze up and I have to soft reset it. I am able to install a ROM on it however at the end of installing the ROM where the screens says COMPLETE...Tap to continue ro begin using your device...and its starts the ROM....As soon as I tap the screen in the middle of starting WM5 it freezes... Ive even downgrade to Wm2oo3SE and it still freezes. But after soft resest there was a message about "system data is corrupted, System will erase all data to fix this error! Yes or No to fix"....Can that be fix or am I able to re-format the PDA hdd and reinstall WM2oo3SE or WM5?
Hi again,
This is a guess, so treat it as such, but I suspect that something in your extended ROM could be causing the problem. On first boot after reflash, a file "autorun.exe" is executed from the extended ROM, and this will normally install a bunch of CAB files.
If something in your extended ROM was corrupt or otherwise not correct, it could cause a lockup on first boot - immediately after calibrating the screen, setting the timezone etc, just as you describe.
The safest thing to do is to revert to the device's complete set of original ROMs, as found in this table :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The original ROM-set will restore the main ROM, extended ROM and radio ROM to the defaults.
If the problem is fixed afterwards, and you still feel brave enough to upgrade to WM5, then first repartition your device so that the extended ROM is empty. Instructions on how to do this from within WM2003 are found here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50628
Figured Out A Solution
I figured out the problem and Im not sure if others have experienced this problem or not. Even if you dont created an extended rom on your Blue Angel when changing from rom to rom, if your screen tends to freezes after saying "tap on your screen to begin using your device" you will have to run the DOC repartitioning tool in the Prepartion Folder of some ROMS. Once running the program as the directions tells you and preform a reset even a hard reset on your device, everything will run fine without freezing.
I installed the HTC Kaiser DLL replacement installer and then restarted my device. Now when it boots it won't go past the my info (owner info) screen. If I try to do anything at that screen whole device goes black and frozen I have to reset again. Anyone having this similar problem or know how I can fix it? I would really appreciate the help!
I was running WMobile 6.1 with the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.03.405.0_radio_sign_25.70.40.02_1.64.06.04 ROM
Once or twice somehow it got to the unlock screen but I can't get back there now I don't know how it got there the first times either just reset after reset.
Thanks
I was able to enter bootloader and reflash the rom. Held down camera button and used the stylus to push the little reset button next to usb port. Then ran rom updater as normal
Hy guys, after some month with my diamond and (hundred of rom changed), yesterday my phone started to reset every few seconds without possibility to start windows ...
it's seems that or soft rest button is dmaged or something with battery fault. I've tried two different battery but no way.
I've tried to flash a standard rom but after upgrade there's error an no way to finish process.
Now it' s difficult also have a soft reset because when i push red button nothing happens. Sometimes without battery i'm able to go in a boot mode...but whe i put my battery phone restart as before....
So i'm desperate......
Any suggestion???
regards
You could try to format your device and then freshly flash a new ROM:

AAAARRRRRg my diamond is definitly briked.. I've tried everything to solve my problem but no way. It seems that i've a power button, so every time i put battery and start phone, after a couple of seconds i've reset in loop....
No way to take in boot mode....
There's a way to recover my data in "internal storage"??
Regards
Hello.
I'm opening this thread because my Diamond seems to be diying and I wanted to know if someone got an idea.
Yesterday, my phone suddendly rebooted without warning after a month.
I thought It was nothing, but the phone started to reboot allthe time. The phone boot, show my operator logo (befor the winmo loading screen), and then reboot again, again and again.
I decided to do a little Mtty maintenance and reflash (from internal memory). The phone reworked for a couple of hours and restarted to do a reboot loop. I thought the rom I was using was in fault.
Re Mtty maintenant and flashing the phone with mu Prange stock rom. Several hours léter, the phone restarted to boot.
So where I am ?
If I let the phone off (like a night), he will launch windows and will works between a couple of minutes from a couple of hours befoor rebooting. If I put the phone in bootloader mode It won't reboot and will wait with his beautiful rainbow screen. But if I leav the bootloader mode, reboot over reboot, yay !
When the phonedecide to boot completly,it's a regular soft reset, not a hard reset.
Did anyone here have an idea ? Thanks !
How often did you flash since you have your diamond ?
Try to reflash a radio. Maybe your flash memory is dead =/
It sounds like the rom image might be corrupted - I had this problem with a 28003 rom I tried in which the phone would take a hard reset - boot fine - reset and reload fine... and then whenever you tried to restart it after that it went into a boot loop that eventually came up with a screen saying "the phone cannot boot because of uncertified software or incorrect shutdown procedure"
I solved it by putting the phone into bootloader (switch on holding both power key and volume down key) - connecting it to my computer and reflashing it. It DOES NOT need a activesync connection in this mode but you do need the Hard-SPL on the phone (im running olinex 1.40)
hope that helps

Thx JoOos and Jemmauk.
But I already tried to reflash the Radio and the rom Image.
I Tried 3 different Rom images.
One orange official , aztor re-evo and an another one.
But the phone don't display any errors. It will just never stop to reboot without saying a thing.

hi there mate, Im no expert but I had the same problem.im no expert and you may have to wait for expert advice,....but......
I reformatted the memory card with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2 it reformatted the card slowly, you can search the forums for" format card"and download a proper formatting programme.
I also had problems with the actual download once, i kept having the no image error come up over and over, so i re downloaded the file and it worked ,....also when they say take the battery out and wait,...do it for 10 secs.

hm, not sure if I'm 100% with you, but lets try:
the output you describe (SPL-0.78.0000) clearly shows that you are still on the latest stock spl, which you either got by factory default or through one of your later updates through SEUS (depending on how old your phone is)
this (stock spl) automatically prevents flashing of customizes roms (like the mentioned Energy rom), all you can flash with that are stock roms
there is the hard-spl thread concerning this by olinex which you most probably read and tried
so as I understand it you failed at flashing the hard-spl, then tried to run SEUS which failed as well and now you cannot even start your phone?
after failing at SEUS did you retry to run the SE update utility? it sometimes fails before successfully completing
did you try putting a stock rom on your sd card and flashing this (that would delete personal items and settings not backed up)?
how did you try flashing hard-spl? synching your phone with your pc and launching from there?
Best, DK
hi,
thanks for your post, and for trying to help. i should mention that i have never sync the phone with pc, i never need this. and i tried to hard spl the phone, but also gives error, it shut down. from then i tried several tims to do the update with the sony-ericsson application, it check's the phone and said that i have the latest software, but if there is any problem, try reinstaling the software. i push the reinstall button, it starts reinstalling, but the bar goes between 10 to 25, other time even 60 %, and then gives the communication error, and sais to try again.
i am no expert, this is the first time i try to do this on a phone, so if there is anyone who is so kind to explain step by stpe what i have to do, i shoul thanks him verry much.
So you want to install custom ROM to your phone? you need hardSPL first
If you have it hardSPL it will show 0.7.2.ollinex
then you just flash it. Try google how to hardSPL and FLash
simple mechanism,
X1 (Stock ROM and Stock SPL) -> hard SPL -> X1 (Stock ROM + hardSPL) -> Flash custom ROM (Energy ROM) -> X1 (hard SPL + Custom ROM)
WHY should Hard SPL?
because as DK explained above, SPL is the bios of your X1 and won't accept any ROM beside Stock ROM. so to have your X1, you need to change by doing Hard SPL, it will make your X1 accept any kind of ROM, stock or customed.
is it better to upgrade Stock ROM and Stock SPL to install applications? sorry, i'm just new in SE phone specially x1, so many things to learn here..

They're both the same. Applications will install fine on a stock rom as well as a custom rom, there's NO difference. Think of it as jailbreaking an iPod Touch or iPhone, they can still install apps from the app store with no problems, NOTHING is changed.
In fact, think of it as a car. An normal car uses petrol. A car with a modified engine ALSO uses petrol. So there's no difference.
The difference between a stock and custom rom however, is huge. A custom rom is basically a stock rom, but modified. Custom roms gives you more customizability, just like jailbreaking an iDevice. Most of the custom roms run more efficiently, and a lot faster than a stock rom.
It's NOT hard to install a custom rom, you just have to read the guides properly and follow the simple steps. It's worth every bit of your time. Just follow the 8 steps here to install hardSPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
and here if you want video tutorials:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497511
And btw, the SPL thing is just the same as a jailbreak. It's a hack basically. Installing hardSPL will jailbreak your device so that you can install custom roms on it, it's basically "unlocking" the device so you can do whatever you want with it.
