Hello mates, I got my atom last week and since then it gets stuck and hangs for some time until it loads again whenever I hit the reset button.
Even hard reset doesn't help and either not taking the battery out...just need to hit the reset again and again until it comes back on...
I'm currently running the leaked ROM 20062017B1WWE
just to mention the issue started even with the older ROM installed.
Please help!
Hi.
Where did you get this ROM?
I'm looking for this rom WWE_R060221N do you have it?
Your rom is older or newer then WWE_R060221N?
Can you place in Emule so I can download?
Thank YOu
Re.
Hi there. I have a similar problem with my Atom (leaked ROM of course). Somehow, hitting SR button just leaves the initial screen with O2 logo hanging. You have to hit SR button several times or take out battery to make Atom boot. But, SR with O2 plus application works OK. Actually, it may get worse after awile and even taking out battery may not help to boot Atom. I had to re-run ROM upgrading to make my Atom boot after SR, but still hitting SR button makes Atom freeze.
Seems like we've got the same
problem mate....I really think that's a hardware problem because I tried to do everything and it still get stuck and hangs on the startup screen after a soft reset is performed. Anyways I'm gonna take my Atom back to the place I've bought it so they can check it and hopefully change it to a brand new one (thats what I hope so...)
Let me know how did you handle with your own problem.
You sure you aren't too impatient? With my Atom it takes around one minute to soft reset. It has XCPUScalar installed, I'm suspecting that this is part of the reason. The O2 logo stays on for maybe 20 seconds, then the WM5 screen for 20 and finally the Scalar stays on for at least the same before I can punch in my pin code.
Re
Thanks for your response..
I don't think I'm impatient as you said because I keep waiting for the Atom to load for at least 2-3 mins after the SR button is pressed, once I even tried leaving it hangs on the o2 screen for a whole night and it was still stuck...anyways I really don't know what to do.
Any other comments would be appreciated.
Cheers.
P.S
I never installed XCPUScalar on this device and never touched the overclocking settings.
Then I would say harware problem, yes.
I have the same problem since I bought it. I resolved in this way:
If you want to soft reset your unit press on/off button and softreset at the same time, you will see the option for hard reset but don't affraid just leave it in this option don't press anything and your atom will soft reset itself with no problems.
hi eljure, i tried your suggest and it worked on the first time i pressed the power button + soft reset button together, but then again it got stuck and hang on the o2 screen after the 2nd try.....anyways i had to wait again for like almost 1 hour until it loeded up again and that after all the resets i've done while i was waiting for it to load, only a hard reset worked after that.
so I really don't know what the problem is but it's freaking me out.
the store I bought it from said only next week they gonna get a new stock of the Atom so i'm stuck with it until then.
I have similar problem..maybe the same..the phone just hangs at O2 logo. I tried to press and hold power button and press reset button then it asks to press send and end button reset to factory factory default..after I press both button, it says device clean boot...reset to factory default!!..how long do i have to wait for it to set to factory default? or which way is the right way to hard reset? Anyone knows how to repair this problem, please help

I have a similar problem where my O2 Atom will just switch off (go black) when I press the Soft Reset.
I do not get the O2 splash screen, and there is no response from any buttons or the power button. Even depressing the SR again does nothing. I have to remove and replace the battery to bring the unit back to life.
This has been happening since the phone was new (7 days ago).
ROM 20060123B1WWE.

Freedy.
I have the same trouble.
Hardware bug, obviously.
Does anyone know how to reset a Samsung Omnia?
Mine's stuck at bootup and i cun press anything.
I need to know if there's a series of button presses b4 poking
with the stylus to hard reset the phone to factory settings.
Thx in advance.
Did you do anything to the phone, in terms of modification? I was really interested in that thing, but having to do a hard reset on a brand new phone is a little disconcerting...
I tried installed everything that i had on my touch cruise
and everything was working superb.
Then this morning i installed HTC Home Plugin v2.1
and that hung my phone after i restart.
Now i've got no way on getting pass bootup screen.
A google search of "hard reset omnia" yielded this.
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,3800005395,39470096-43574745p,00.htm
26th June 2008: Was advised by the customer service rep (CSR) on the phone that the only way to solve my hanging issue is to bring to your Customer Service Center for a firmware software reinstallation.

How awfully true..
Just got back from the service centre at Plaza Singapura.
Yup. Upgrade of software was the way to go.
The lady did say that the hard reset was the same as HTC,
pressing of the call and end button thingy but mine couldn't work.
Anyway, it was silly of me to go install the HTC Home Plugin.
Thx anyway bros for all replies..
Omnia Rocks!!

turn your phone off, than press red and green buttons and after press phone on, you will get 2 options, 1 format: press phone on, 2 cancel: press phone off, in italy omnia this procedure is working.
It works man!!
Eureka!
Yes it does 2 x's now and one after a firmware update to version i900DXHK3/DXHK3 (Singapore). Which I did earlier today.
I had some how managed to put a pass I could not get right (how who knows).
After several attempts and finally an 8 min. mandatory wait. I did it. My final solution was that I had to wait and keep device awake for time to pass. 8 long agonizing minutes~!
1. Wait till reset timer is elapsed and devices is awake.
2. press both call and end button (ie green and red) I didn't press too light or hard just normal.
3. Push stylus on soft reset and within 5-8 secs eureka format screen.
4. hit call button.
This may not help every one but those with pass problems mab.
Hi, first let me say im sorry if this has already been covered somewhere, i have spent all day searching the wiki and forum to no avail. If the solution is already here please point me in the direction and delete this thread.
I have just flashed my kaiser from the original vodafone WM6 ROM to Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700. At first everything seemed fine, then when i tried to restore the backup id created with sprite backup it restored, reset and now wont get past the loading screen. It shows the vodafone splash screen then duttys htc screen then goes back to vodafone.
I used Hardspl 3.29 before flashing. I tried hard reseting which made no difference. i cant get into the bootloader (tried the camera, power reset thing loads) and i cant connect to my pc as it wont go past the splash screen.
I had a look at MTTY but it doesnt give the options described in the instructions and after reading the warnings about MTTY decided i shouldnt mess around with what i dont understand.
Any help will be greatly apreciated, i love my phone and the idea that ive just broken it scares the crap out of me.
Thanks

first, are you SURE you can't get into bootloader?
I know it sounds stupid, but try REALLY pushing the camera button in while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. Once you get to the bootloader (tri-color screen), try flashing a different ROM
good luck

I agree here a lot of people don't realize the Camera button is a two stage button. It stops at Half-Press then you can push again to get Full Press. You need a Full Press to get into bootloader.
Just to clarify.
Press and hold the camera button and at the same time insert stylus in reset hole and hold until bootloader comes up.
In other words, do not let up until bootloader shows. It should take around 2-3 seconds.
yea ive been doing that. After trying many times i have found that holding the camera button down for around 2 minutes after the htc dutty series screen comes up brings up a white screen with the error message;
"the device is unable to boot either because you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press send to reset or any other key to cancel"
The message dissapears if i let go of the camera button, and resets back to the vodafone screen and stays there. If i press the send button same thing happens (just an idiot check but the send button is the green pick up button right?) ive tryed the enter button and both soft keys but all to the same result. I have tried holding down each button on that screen as well and the error message stays as long as i hold the button but when i let go it just goes back to the vodafone splash screen and stays there.
I have tried holding the stylus with the camera button all the way through to this error message, doesnt seem to make a difference.
just to clarify, ive done what you suggest and still cant get into the bootloader.
Thanks for any help, this is driving me mad.
hold the camera button and use the stylus to press the reset button, and continue holding the camera button until the bootloader screen pops up.
i used to let go the camera button as soon as the screen go black, but then it just reset the device instead of going into the bootloader...
oh forgot to mention. Shotly after the dutty series screen comes up i get the window appearing sound but nothing comes on screen. suggests to me that maybe its trying to tell me whatswrong but i can see what it is. maybe, i dunno..

Im holding the camera button for around 2 minutes before it does anything, then i get the above error message.
Do you have a storage card installed?
yes. tried taking it out and doing the same thing. no different.
anything else i could try?

OK But are you also holding your stylus in the Reset Hole?
If yes, And you can't get into Bootloader, well I think you are "boned"
Yes im doing that. Boned? really? What about the error message that eventually comes up? isnt there anything i can do from there? Any other way of reseting it so maybe the bootloader works?
And if its really broken, do you recon my network will send me another or have i just properly voided the warranty?
I started haveing issue with the device last night, the phone app was locking the phone up, i tried restoring from my sprite, but it didnt work.
I got it to a point where it workied, but for some reason it lost all my contacts and email settings.
Well I said screw it, ill just hard reset and start from scratch, after a soft reset, it hung on the "Touch Pro" screen withthe red text at the bottom, then just sits there.
If I hard boot it does the same thing.
any ideas?
go into bootloader and then flash a new ROM there.
Hold Volume down and reset. You will go to bootloader. Plug in USB and flash from there. No need to sd flash.
it will not go past the touch pro screen, still sitting like that now. I cannot even turn it off, just reset it and get back to the same spot.
did you take out the battery for a time? but you do that on your own risk... for me that doesnt sound good ...

Boris
Yep, the best I have been able to get is plugging the phone in and getting it to constantly reset itself.
BRICKED!
New ohone in the mail, hope to have it tomorrow,
Now, do I use my old sprite back up from a week or so ago, or start from scratch?
BD
best is to begin new, but for me that would take 1,5 days cause i know nothinh about UC; thats why i restore my spb backup... with differen Romeos version i had never problems ... take the rom upgrade mode...
Greetz
Boris
Once I get to the bootloader screen, how do I flash the rom?
What is the latest stock rom and what is best link to download?
I finally got to the hard reset warning screen. It says press "send" to reset. Everywhere else (including manual) it says to press "volume up". Anway, I pressed and released "send" but nothing happens. It seems frozen on teh warning screen. Or does it take a few minutes to hard reset.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Did you tried the method with settings => system => "Speicher löschen" ( in german; "eraze memory" or something like that in english) => input 1234??
Greetz
Boris
I sent mine back, it did nothing.
hard reset
i had to hard reset my htc touch pro as well because i unistalled a program and it wiped out like half the stock programs. this is what i did....
1). make sure you back everything up that you have on your phone.
2). shut off your phone
3). hold the volume down button and the enter button at the same time. (enter button is the big cirle center button)
4). while holding those two buttons in, press and hold the power button on the top until the popup appears on the screen. then just follow the steps and your phone should be like brand new again!!
Funny thing I did it the first time and it worked like a charm. But now i'm having trouble in doing it again?? any suggestions?? anyone???
So my FUZE was working fine since I bought it when it first came out. It was on Stock ROM, Radio, and SPL. I decided to flash the EnergyROM to try out the new Manilla. I installed the Hard-SPL, flashed the 1.12.25.19 radio, and then flashed EnergyROM 2.0 32209. First thing I noticed was that the DPAD was HORRIBLE.
It would not correctly sense what I am pressing! I press home, and some times it doesn't register anything, sometimes it thinks I pressed left. I try the back button but it thinks I pressed right. I have had this thing since it came out so I know how to use the DPAD now, but whatever happened has completely screwed it up! I thought it was the ROM so I went to the leaked AT&T Test ROM which is also VERY nice. But the problem is still there, the DPAD just does NOT work correctly.
Also, I was unable to send an SMS earlier until I soft reset the phone. That had never happened before either.
Since it is not the ROM, it is either the Radio or the SPL. What I don't understand is that many many people have installed both the same Radio and SPL without any problems. How can I fix my DPAD?

Did you try flashing back to the stock ROM? If that doesn't work, I wonder if flashing back to stock everything (ROM, radio, SPL) might kick out the bugs (?)
Did you hard reset after flashing? That might be your problem. And what programs/settings did you install? I would hard reset-don't run UC-then see if the dpad is working fine.
I had the problem without installing anything over the ROM itself. When you flash a ROM, it hard resets, so what does hard resetting again do? I spent like 2 hours getting it the way I like it so I don't want to hard reset again. I tried reflashing the radio but it still had the problem right afterwards, but now it seems to have stopped. This is very weired.
EDIT: It started doing it again but if I put the phone to sleep and bring it back, it normally fixes it. What an annoying problem. I am going to try to flash a different radio and see what happens. I just like this radio so much its GPS actually works decently.

No, it doesn't do a full hard reset when you flash. A lot of crap is left over, and if you just start using the ROM, you get a bunch of random bugs, like, say your DPAD doesn't work. You're supposed to hard reset when the the phone asks you to align the screen. It's a must. Seriously, hard reset and start over and all of your problems will go away.
I reverted to my stock radio and the problem seems to have disappeared. I will try it out more tomorrow.
How is anything left over? It just seems so odd because I can't ever find anything from before when I flash a ROM.
It seems that I can still get fast GPS locks with this radio too, so I guess the A-GPS fix is all in the ROM.

They're not telling you to do the hard reset just for the heck of it; there's a very good reason for doing it. Not following the standard flashing instructions and then posting in the chef's thread that his ROM is buggy is just not cool.
It turned out to be the radio causing my problems not the ROM. I have never hard reset after flashing a ROM and never had a problem (and that time wasn't a problem because it was due to the radio ROM)
Not that I am asking for it, but unless there is actual proof that you need to hard reset, I don't think there is a point of doing it.
Ok the problem is back! So annoying. Does flashing the SPL hard reset the phone? I want to try going back to the stock SPL since that is the only thing it could still be, but I would rather not now if it hard resets.
Just get it over with and do a hard reset. Jeez, it's not that complicated.
roms and radios will not adjust the dpad i used the same rom u talk about and never had an issue
Hey petard, did you ever fix the issue with the D-pad ?
I have the exact same issue with my Fuze and can't figure it out.
It is a hardware issue. I had to replace it. My replacement worked fine until about 3 weeks ago where it just started to act up. I called for another replacement a couple days ago and should get it tuesday. They offered me a different phone (Epix or Incite) but I declined but told them to note it that I was offered a different phone.
In about 3 months (when my warranty ends) I will call for another replacement. If they have refurbed Touch Pro 2s by then I will ask for that, if not I will get another FUZE which will extend my warranty for 3 more months (you get 3 months or whatever was left of your original warranty, whichever is longer) and by that time they have to have refurbed Touch Pro 2s where I will then try to get one.

It figures, no easy fix. It's strange how it started to act up, mine crapped out right after a flash as well.
Good luck on aquiring the TP2 though.
