Help! MY MDA does not boot

Hi,
I have upgraded my MDA to NO EVIL ROM Windows mobile 6 version from this forum. Device was working great for couple of weeks. Now suddenly it stopped booting. When I do soft reset the
S.N.E ... Presents screen comes up.
Then HTC Wizard screen comes up
The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.
I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...

From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.
When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.
To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).
Good luck and hope that helps.

Able to reboot
Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.
I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks

ANother issue
Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks

Cannot hard reset s720

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Telus S720 off of eBay and it's prompting me (in French) for a password to unlock the device. I don't know this password and the seller doesn't either, so the logical step is a hard reset. I read on HTC's website that I can hard reset the S720 with these steps:
Power the device off. Press and hold the left and right soft keys. Power the device on while holding these keys. Follow the on-screen prompts to factory reset the device.

This does not work. I take the battery out, hold both soft keys, then hold the power button until the device vibrates to indicate it's powering on. I continue to hold the soft keys, and it boots into Windows. Am I doing something wrong here? I've tried these steps on both the number pad and keyboard.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
*edit: I got it to go after charging the battery for a while.

Hard reset

i'm no idiot (at least that's what she tells me... lol) but i hold TomTom and PIE button down while i press the reset button on the bottom of the phone to do a hard reset, correct?
if so, my phone must not want to do it because i've done this a million times today and it just boots up normally as if nothing was pressed.
what to do... what to do?
thanks!

After the reset don't release those buttons until, the reset screen appears...

Touch Pro keep restarting after TAEL ROM screen

Hi, I have been flashed TAEL ROM, radio last month. Everything running fine until early of this morning.
I have not do any changes recently.
suddenly this morning I could not turn on the phone from standby. So I soft reset it, right after soft reset, it keep on reboot itself after reach TAEL ROM screen, sometimes after Windows Mobile screen.
I tried to get into bootloader screen but the nothing happened.
the reset button seems like cannot function now.
I press and hold vol down button then press on Reset but phone have no respond at all...
Anyone have experienced this and solved it?
Thank you!!

Try pulling out the battery for a while. That fixes this problem sometimes.

I would try a hard reset, if things do not improve.
Had to do one yesterday and it took me some time to find out how it's done for this phone so if you're not familiar with it here it comes:
1) Turn off the phone (take out battery for 5 sec, then put it back in)
2) Hold volume DOWN button and press the centre of the circle (enter button)
3) While holding those 2 buttons, power up the phone (and keep pressing this combination until you enter into bootloeader)
4) When in bootloader (I normally keep the volume DOWN and Enter button pressed, until I see the message in bootloader saying that in order to hard reset I should press volume UP, or any other key to cancel).
Hope this helps, and remember that you'll loose everything (programs, contacts, SMS, etc) if you do this.
Good luck.

Remove your sim and sd card before doing the hard reset..right?

It's not necessarily REQUIRED, but it is recommended.
