What causes a soft reset loop? I have installed ITsPapaBlack Final * 20748.1.4.0 on my Wing & now every time I soft reset my device, I have to take my SD card out to let the phone boot up, then put it back in when booted. It is rather aggravating! I assume that a program on the card is trying to start up on soft reset & is conflicting in some way. I have BatteryStatus & UltimateLaunch on my home screen & WeatherPanel as one of the UL screens. I don't believe anything else runs from the SD card in the background. If anyone can help me or provide an answer or some advice, I would greatly appreciate it!
P.S.: I had ItsPapaBlack RC6 on my Wing previously (the Final version above has updated SYS & XIP) & never had this problem.
**edit: I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321359) but can't figure out how to actually change the name of the dll! Any help?

Sorry I am a bit comfused, I have the Apache from Bell Canada ROM 2.11.20 Updated: 04/04/06
Radio 1.14.00
1: Below shows the WM5 3.33 ROM which on the buzzdev says is just for Himalaya, is this true????
[HIMA] WM5 3.33a AKU23 Virgy build (16MB ramdisk 48MB pagepool 64MB program)
3.33a Buzz Virgy build with 16MB Ramdisk + 48MB Pagepool + 64MB Program Memory
2. I used the extended rom unlocker and it advised it was successfull, where do I go to be able to see/use the extended ROM??
1. There is a 3.3 ROM on ppcgeeks that should work on your device.
2. You should be able to see the extended ROM by using file explorer. Soft reset if you don't see it at first to see if it helps.

Thanks BW, nice to see you in xda-dev. as well. I will check ppcgeeks for the 3.3 ROM.
About the Extended ROM, is it called extended rom? because I dont see anything more than I usually see (device and storage card). The first time I had just ran the unlocker directly from the zip file.
This time I unzipped and ran the Apache unlocker, got success again but after reboot, still nothing different. Any idea why or do I need to use the 3.3 ROM before it will unlock?
Thanks BW got both the 3.3 ROM from PPCGEEKS and also was able to unlock the Extended ROM from a reg hack found their.
Glad you got it working.
Help!!
Hi everyone...
I try to make an update to my Alltel PPC6700 but apparently the ROM was not the indicated one and now single it remains ignited the light of the flash.
I have removed the battery, I have done reset, soft reset, hard reset and nothing…
I just got a black screen and the light of the flash all along ignited, and when I execute the RUU always says that there is no communication.
Somebody can help me?
I have been experiencing a very slow phone with thousands of files (many copies of some) in the windows folder. I have 5 copies of some files!! i need help deleting the files out of my windows folder because i think that's what slowing myphone done. I have changed the rom thousands of times from Black diamond 3.1 to tmobile 2.26 to TNT 5.0 to tmobile 2.26 again, and now im back at TNT 5.0 professional.
Please help me and my phone please!
This is due to some software you installed (such as unpactched HTC Home Plugin, HTC Photo Album etc).
Normally deleting the files or uninstalled the affected software will not restore the system to normal speed. So take note of what you have installed, and avoid using that after hard reset.
p.s. You don't need to flash the phone with another ROM, just hard reset is enough.
sorry, im trying to find the hard-reset tutorial, but it's actually hard! can you help me out plz.
does the phone have to have the tmobile 2.26 rom when i hard reset? I tried it with the TNT 5.0 and it failed.
It says:
Format Partition FAT
Format Failed
ive tried it with the TNT rom, the tmobile rom, and even with my sdcard in it. please help, thanks.
Refer to this post to get it fixed.

I installed bg4all after updating to the latest CHT 1.8 with editor. Now I have a blank (white) lockscreen and a blank (black) home screen. I've tried several times to add the home and lockscreen wallpaper with no success. I've deleted bg4all and soft reset as the problem occurred after the cab was installed. I've also un-installed HDWall and the HDwall patch. Please help as I don't want to have to hard reset. BTW, I'm stock US TMO with the upgraded 2.13 rom. Thanks in advance for the help!
In the future, please carefully read all installation instructions for any software you want to put on your device.
If you would have done this, you could have avoided the hard reset (after all, what is so shocking about this?): Cookiemonster clearly mentioned *not* to install *any* background mod or tweak, nor HDWall, as those functions are now part of CHT.
You might try to re-install CHT (turn off Manila/Sense, install, soft reset, turn back on Manila/Sense) before doing a hard reset...
For some reason I can't get my Polaris to run the latest Android version (i.e. Froyo).
1. Downloaded latest kernel (polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh)
2. Downloaded last build (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS10)
3. Put last build (.tar or .tgz file) on SD card in directory /andboot
4. Flashed by using NBH file together with RUU Update Utility
Now it gets tricky:
a) or the system reboots, vibrates twice, I see a red and blue line and then a black screen and nothing;
b) or the system reboots, I get the Android installation menu after pressing middle button, install, but after soft reset I get a "No such file found" kind of system error
Can someone help me getting Android on my old Polaris? Thanks!

Same for me with polaimg-panel3-320, but it works great with polaimg-panel1-320-24-05-10.nbh
Thanks! Got it working with the older NBH file. Not completely flawless, but it works!
Don't use the old polaris panel 1 nbh, instead download the latest and then use this utility to change it to panel 1.

The panel type depends on revision of your polaris, more specifically the make of the lcd panel, see here. I just tried every panel until I found one that works, I use panel 1.
Thanks a lot, but could you please answer me again. How i will know what kind of LCD panel in my Polaris and which number i should use?
these parameters is placed in my start-up file for the haret launcher
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 hw3d.version=1"
boot
can i use panel type from here?
i have opened this polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh file in NBH editor and saw that the HW3D is set in Eclair. Should i change this to Froyo or left as is?
Thanks a lot for the conception)))

Did I brick my Polaris?
Well, it makes me laugh looking at the last post dated back July 2010 but I decide to post anyway because I feel somebody might have passed through my problems and might help.
Following indications on this forum:
1. I downloaded:
- Kernel: polaimg-panel3-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
- Last build: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages
2. Put last build (androidinstall.tgz) on SD card in directory /andboot
3. Used RUU Update Utility to flash the nbh file
Everything when smoothly. When it reboots, it vibrates, "Smart Mobility" message shows up, vibrates twice and then a blank screen is displayed.
Going through this forum I think I might have used the wrong type of panel and should have used Panel 1 instead of 3. So I downloaded Windows NBH Editor and managed to change the nbh into Panel 1. Then I shall try again.
This time my Windows 7 is unable to recognize my Polaris and all it can see is a new Disk Drive with no ADB device displayed. So I installed PdaNet302.exe to implement the USB driver for HTC Android Phone but it still cannot see my device and the process aborted.
What worries me is that one step of the process requested to change a setting on the Polaris (On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.). Obviously I can't do that as the screen is completely white!
I believe if I can manage to have my PC talking with my device then the problem will be fixed with the panel1-based flash. But every attempt to install the USB driver for Android Phone regularly fails on my PC.
All that time the Polaris remains with the lighted blank screen and there is no way to turn it off as the on/off switch refuses to work.
Shall I buy a new phone? Thanks for your help.
Did you try flashing the phone with a regular oficial HTC rom? just try it. Put the phone in the boot mode (press camera button and another one, dont recall which one) It will change to the tri color screen. Then connect it and try it.
Also there is a modified nbh rom which includes nothing, just the tool to recover your rom. Do a search to the forum.
I recently tried to install on my Polaris and it went really wrong. And finally could recover. The file is called ROMUpdateUtility_task29. I will erase everything on the phone but later you will be able to recover it
Form that point no more experiments. Polaris was made to work with Windows Mobile. It's really unstable, video camera is useless. And so on.
PC Carvalhon rom and I can use my phone as I want.
regards.

A second life for my Polaris
Kafkacell,
1. Following your suggestions, I successfully started the bootloader (camera touch while reset), the 3-colour screen appeared, Windows 7 recognised the device. I then flashed the offcicial RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship and everything successfully completed. With enormous pleasure I see again my Polaris back to activity. Thanks for giving my Polaris a second life.
2. Back to Feb 2009, I flashed a pcarvalho eXtreme ROM. I don't recall any longer the version of this ROM but it was very stable and never ever crashed. Recently I downloaded and flashed most recent ROMs. From that moment on, I have no peace. It crashed 2, 3 times a week. Now I wish I could go back to the old version but couldn't find it. Perhaps pcarvalho removed them to save space? May I ask you which pcarvalho eXtreme ROM version do you currently run. Thanks.
Im currently running 29022 version (latest update from PCCarvalho).
Notes:
UPDATE:
29022 is up
this is a fix release...sound issues should be gone...had to remove htc volume control is it still has issues...fixes minor gfx glitches...updated to lastest and probably final leak version of wm6.5.3 (29022)...will from now on work on unresolved issues and finalize rom...this will still take some time due to work...
updated physics engine and utask app by ultrashot...my thanks to him...
patched htc album to novsync, faster scrolling once cache is made...
removed no longer supported apps (my phone and marketplace)...if u need them install via cab...
Here is the link for the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15707730&postcount=8079
it was posted on July of this year, and so far it runs great. The trick is to not install a lot of apps in your main memory. Do it on your SD card. Also a hard reset is a must to avoid all kind of problems.
regards and glad you have your phone back to life
Hi all,
I just installed DINIK "Anastasia" Keyboard (v3) and must have somehow done something wrong, thereby killing my phone.
I copied the .cab file to my SD card, then ran the file, installed it to the SD card (without error) and restarted when requested. The .cab can be found at the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670811 .
When the phone rebooted it stopped at the white screen with gree "HTC" - it now will not advance beyond this point. I have tried to de-power & restart the phone, but it will not start.
The system is:
- OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
- Manilla version: 2.5.19211619.0
- ROM version: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
- Unlocked phone
Can anyone tell me how i can get the phone running again, even if it means a hard re-set back to factory settings. At the moment the phone can't be used for anything.......
Any advice or help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
BGM
I am concerned that the only solution is to make HR...
Thanks Petulinek,
No doubt going to cause issues when i re-install CoPilot without de-activation.

My device also died.. suspect that the keyboard does not work with recent ROM update.

U can hold volume down (or volume up, I can't remember) to boot into ur bootloader screen. U may now do a factory reset from there.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
OK thanks - looks like hard-reset is the only option
try boot with sd card out before HR
Of course it's satly to see this; but like mentioned several times on the "Anastasia keyboard" thread, v3.0 isn't compatible with older builds...
There only rest you a HR to solved your problem.
Thanks for the ideas - didn't boot with the SD out either, so have done a hard-reset.
Cheers
