Hey,
I am having a problem after cooking my own ROM:
If a program such as Connection Setup tries to restart the phone, the screen will go blank, and you cannot wake the phone up. Furthermore, it seems that you must manually Soft-Reset, and then the changes are applied.
So my question is why this happens?
Any suggestions/tips will be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I tweak my HTC touch HD by change certain registry value for performance purpose. I found that, after changed, my mobile would fail to boot (stop at window green screen). I am not sure whether it takes longer time to boot. However, I used to wait for > 10 mins but still retain at same screen.
I got to soft-reset my mobile again by press the red button under the cover. Usually, only the 3rd soft-reset would be successfully. Once boot ok, the subsequence soft-reset would be fine as well.
Question, is behavour normal, by design or any problem to my mobile?
Please advice. Thank you
You have corrupted your registry it sounds like. Change back the keys to what they were before (if you can remeber), else you need to do a hard reset.

Hi,
What do you meant by corrupted? If you are refering to wrong key value, then I can say the value it correct. Even though I change back to original, it still need to reboot for 3 times. The key point here is, whenever that is any change to registry, 3 times reboot would be required, 1st time freeze at window splash screen. 2nd time usually freeze at "Loading TF3D ..."
I was thinking whether WM would cache anything during soft-reset if nothing change. If any, then it need to "clean" and reload everything or ...
Any ideas?
Thank you
Corrupted as in the Registry files where not correctly backed up by Windows Mobile. Not your fault perhaps.
Just be sure not to reset to quickly after aplying changes to registry.
and maybe backup and hard reset to maintain functionality
Hi,
My Vox is in an endless reboot cycle. I boots and after the Home screen displayed for about 30 secnds, it shuts itself down, as if the power-off button had been pressed, and then goes dead. Then, after about as minute, it goes on, and reboots without me having touched it.
I've removed the SD and SIM cards, and get the same result.
Needless to say, I cannot connect to it with Activesync.
I'm running the latest WM 6.1 available on this forum.
Can anyone afooer some advice on how to fix this problem?
Thanks
have u instaled smarttoolkit rc09? if yes, then remove it.
I too had the same experience with the software. instead,install the RC08.
If u have not installed the above software, then try removing the microSD card and boot. it shud work.
Cheers,
Akshay
Looks like hard reset is the only option you are left with, But be warned that you will loose all your data (on the phone), sim card is not touched. Regarding howto hard reset, please see the wiki

just remove the battery and then remove the sd card. reinsert battery and reboot now. it should work. if u have smart toolkit 09,remove it. another program this causes this feedback loop is photocontacts pro. what software do u have running? if nothing else works, try a hard reset. sincerely hope u have synchronized ur data already. else u will lose t fully.
you can also pull the simcard, this will switch off the vox.
With me this worked: after restart the problem was gone.
Hey all,
I need some help. The other day my touch cruise was working fine, but I wasnt able to connect to the network, and I thought it was time to do a soft reset. After soft reset my phone has now stopped working. It is stuck on the screen that says:
POLA100
SPL-3.13.0000
CPLD-2
The screen has 4 color bars on it, in this order:
RED
GREEN
BLUE
WHITE (SERIAL OR USB)
Every time I reset the phone it quickly flashes the screen with a messege that I believe says "No Image Found"
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks for all your help guys in advance!

A quick update...
I have managed to get back into the phone. I plugged it into the usb, and of course it would not recognise it. However, after it was plugged in I held down the camera button, and the power button and pushed in the reset button, and vola the phone restarted back to normal. I have not lost the operating system or anything. I am not sure what will happen if I turn it off. So I plan on backing it all up and then trying to turn it off and on.
But if you have any answers to this problem please let me know as I am not sure what i have done.
Thanks again guys
Matrixum
Update:
Ok everytime I turn off my phone I go back to the tri color screen. The only way for me to get back into the phone is if I plug it into the USB and hold down the camera button and hit the soft reset. Any ideas?
I guess nobody has had this problem? I must be the first! Seriously.... Well I still have the problem, each time I shut off the phone and turn it back on it goes to the tri color screen. I have to do my combination of camera button and soft reset in order to get the phone to start properly. I dont loose any information, but the phone is now running very slugish at times.
Once again, any help would be great... Unless I am really the first one to run into this problem.
Thx,
Matrixum
Hmmm... I have no idea what could the problem be.
But I have some questions:
1. What OS is/was on your Polaris?
2. Have you managed to backup your data via ActiveSync or other means?
It looks to me like you're stuck somewhere in the upgrade process. But I'm not sure, just guessing.
I'd recommend flashing Polaris with official ROM.
Be aware that you'll lose all your data on device.
Hi
Unless I'm actively using it my TP keeps turns itself off after 30 seconds no matter what power settings I use (and despite a factory reset and SPB restore). This isn't too much of an issue, except when I'm trying to use GPS/Satnav (TT7) whilst driving, where turning itself off is a real pain.
Could anyone please suggest how this issue can be resolved?
Many thanks in advance...
Is it physically turning off, requiring you to press the on key, let it reboot, or,
is it going to sleep, and you press the on key to wake it up?
If it is the latter, go to start>settings>system>power, click on the
advanced tab and change the backlight & power off settings there.
If it actually turning off, sounds like it might be a defective phone.
Thanks for your reply!
I've repeatedly altered the power settings but it makes no difference at all, if I set it to turn off at any given time (or not at all) it'll still turn off after 30 seconds. And to claify, it doesn't reboot, it just turns the screen off. It *feels* like a software issue, because it'll stay working forver as long as I tap the screen occasionally, something somewhere just counts down 30 seconds if i don't and turns off the screen...
The max time you can put on it is 5 min. The default setting out of the box is 30 seconds --which sound like what you currently have.
Set the "On Battery Power: Turn off backlight if device is not used for xxx MIN). Make sure first that that's checked, and select the drop down.
Eventually --to conserve battery power--, it will 'sleep'.
Your NAVIGATION software should have a setting to over-ride this to NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION.
Aside from that, there is no other way to keep the backlight on --unless it's plugged into a power outlet.
Many thanks again for your reply; As I mentioned previously I've already changed the power settings settings (frequently) and I'm definitely not on the 30-second default, no setting appears to make any difference, be it 5 minutes or 'never turn off'. It also happens when the 'phone is plugged into a power source too.
(And I have got the 'don't turn off whilst navigating' box ticked for the satnav but the issue applies generally, not just to the satnav, that's just where it's most irritating).
Is there any possibility something has changed in the registry to over-ride the control panel settings in this way?
How about doing a hard reset and not doing a spb restore? You realize that all you did when you restored the phone was restore the bug, right?
Edit: I doubt it will work, but you can try the backlight cab. It will restore all the stock backlight reg settings if yours are messed up.

Hi,
I have same problem as you. TP keeps turns itself off after 30 sec!!
And I am using TT7. So this problem is so annoying.
I tried hard resetting and install programs one by one. and check if TP is keeping backlight on or not. And I installed TT7 and worked perfect.( display is always on)
That was yesterday.
Today I was using TP, it happened again.
The registry setting is still 3min on battery, uncheck on AC power.
30 sec problem happens both status.
This thing did not happen before Raphael_Cingular_US_5.11.502.2_Radio_Sign.
TP worked fine for a while on this radio.
Now even I check " NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION" box in some apps. TP turn off backlight.
I tried backlight.cab, that did not work and still turning off.
(thanks anyway )

I will try hard reset again.
Somebody please help us out.
Did you try the cab? If that doesn't work, just flash another rom.
I am also having this problem. I did get it to stop once by going in to the registry and actually editing it. But it started to do it again after a wile. I am trying it again today and see if it work. I am using a trial version of BestRegEdit and was wonder if it could have changed it back because it was a trial. So if some one elce wants to give it a shot it us under HKey_Current_user\ControlPanel\Power\Display and you will change that 30 to what ever amount of time you want. I pick 0 because i never want it to turn off. Hope this helps Oyeah, does anyone know of a free resitry editor? This is my last day on the BestRegEdit Thanks
Uh, total commander, regedit, dotfred's task manager and probably a few more.

Thanx,
I tried cab, and did not work. So I installed test rom and works fine now. NO 30 seconds backlight off now.
[March 1st] New ATT test rom Radio 1.12.25.19 OS AKU 1.4.6 Build 20771
I will use this until new "Signed" and Works Ok radio comes.
* Recently I use resco explorer and regedit addon. Free app: regedit.Mrln works fine, I think. I have been using these for keyboard layout section.
Glad you solved it, I had an interesting problem, similar to the screen issue, wonder it it might be related. I flashed to a new rom over the weekend, and no matter what I did, the backlight would turn off after 10 seconds. You could reset it to 30 in the power profile, but after a reboot, it would revert back to 10 seconds. Reflahsed it, and after the flash, when it starts loading the customizations, it would freeze. Flashed again, and it hung at customization again! Downloaded the rom again, deleted the old one, and flashed and it worked and the backlight would stay put!
Maybe the one you downloaded was corrupt?
Anyway, glad you got it working.
P.S. The rom isn't an "official" that I downloaded, it was one of the 6.5 that the cooks on the rom page whipped up. I think it was just a corrupted download.
This issue has happened to me a few times. even while i'm still using the phone and typing the screen goes off.
very annoying.
I found it only happened to me using EnergyROM. when I flashed to a different rom the problem was solved.
recently I flashed back to the newest version of EnergyROM again (after the previous ROM decided to hard reset all by itself) and this issue happened again in the first hour!
I really wish I could find a usable ROM for once and for all
My Case: WMWifiRouter was it!
This happend even when TP under Test rom env. I just gave up and installed latest version cause this ver is less stressfull.
Luckly 30 sec issue did not happend for a while until I installed WMWifiRouter.
Just after I install V1.50 30 sec thing and happend.
KB0907027: [BUG] v1.50 backlight timeout issue
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0907027/
I Installed V1.52 and now works fine and no backlight problem.
If you installed WMWifirouter check the link.
I use EnergyROM as well and i noticed that right after a fresh flash, if you tried to modify certain settings using the gui (i.e. alarm times, connection settings etc) they wouldnt stick - perhaps a direct registry edit using one of the tools previously mentioned might force the device to remember the changes? this worked for me when i had trouble with my alarm times not being saved.
ive also heard that sometimes a soft-reset isnt enough to commit changes to the registry - i.e. once making a reg edit, cold boot the device - that is press and hold the power button and turn it entirely off.
hope this helps
I need some help. For some reason, Whenever I Restart my phone, Either Manually or Letting it automatically do it, My phone keep restarting. It boots up, goes to the Lockscreen, I enter my pin and after 10 to 15 seconds, or just after Syncing Contacts, Goes back to the bootup screen, then back to the Lockscreen. It keeps doing this, and the only (temporary) fix I can do is Factory Resetting the phone within the 10 to 15 seconds I have, And starting over fresh.
It gets worse as, like I said, it's temporary. After I get back my stuff and everything, if I ever restart or even turn off my phone then back on again, it just does it all again. What can I do to fix this permanently? And what caused it?
2 things could be at fault here :
1. A faulty power button. Go to a server and check if you power button is faulty. Perhaps it gets stuck and its the one to blame for the entire problem.
2. A faulty ROM. Either flash the previous version of the Rom, update your rom to the latest or flash a custom rom.

hello friend
I have the same problem. I've already reset to factory defaults but it's still giving the same error. I've already tried disabling the XOS Launcher and nothing either.
If you manage to fix this issue, post it here.
Try to remove your memory card before reboot.
