Hi Guyz, Just bought a Touch HD (WWE ROM) and 1st thing i did was to configure a 4 digit sreen lock password (with lockout time = 0 secs). Since i live in china and rely on Chinese for texting, i went on to try to install a old version of CE-Star (wm2003) on it, installation went fine, finally was prompted to do soft-reset, i did so, and then things went haywire, after coming out of reset the device displayed the initial password screen, realized that i cannot type the password in thescreen (totally un-responsive) and nor clicking on below 4 hardware butons causes any effect. I cannot enter into my device and hence cant do anything, stuck. I tried repeated Soft-reset nor worser still is i cant even hard-reset the device (at wits end to get out of this dilemma, Pls help to resolve. Thanks.

Hey guys!
While working on my PPC this weekend, I noticed that the system froze while just trying to open NYDITOT Virtual Display.
I tried doing a soft reset and after doing so the system freezes at the "Welcome to T-Mobile" bootup screen and it does not go into the OS (windows Mobile 2003 "Non-SE")
I tried pushing the soft reset button with the device OFF, without the battery, without the sim card, and nothing seems to work.
I cant even re-load the original ROM as Active Synch doesnt see the device due that I dont get into the OS.
Now luckely for me, T-mobile advised that i only had a 3 month warranty with them, which of course "expired" so i was hoping someone could suggest something that might help me resolve this problem.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.

I upgraded our first SPVM1000 (xda2 from orange) with WM5 and it all seemed to work fine.
I then up upgraded the second and it went fine. The second one is still workign completely fine with no problems. We noticed that the first one could not get reception. If you put its sim card in the other phone then it works. Now I tried with with Orange and Vodafone sims. They work in PDA 2 but in PDA 1 there is no reception (it was working yesterday).
Then it kept coming up with an error saying that it was sorry for the inconvenience but there was an error with cprog.exe.
After a reset (power button and soft reset button) that stopped happening but then I found that I could not active sync PDA1. It cant connect and so connects as "guest". After what used to be a hard reset, everything is still as though I just did a soft reset with WM5 - not sure why.
Then I tries to backdate it to the old rom. If I use OSImage tool it wants it to be active synced which doesn't work (v3.8 or v4.0). I also tried to reupgrade with WM5 again (a fresh installation) but althoght it will go into boot mode with Serial 1.03 and then USB 1.03 appearing on the screen, the upgrade fails. It says there is a communication error.
Everything is working with PDA 2 so it cant be a connection fault. I think I did something and now I got myself in quite a pickle.
Can anyone help please?
I'd be happy to reset / reboot right back to the beginning again though I'd like to keep WM5.
Thanks

Solution (how to hard reset in wimdows mobile 5)
Hard resetting WM5 has fixed all of these problems including the phone reception. To hard reset (sometimes called clear reset in the forums) you have to press the tape and camera buttons and then the soft reset with the stylus. This is on an XDA2 (SPVM1000) and is different since upgrading to WM5 (prev power button and the soft reset did the trick). I found lots of websites giving different instructions on how to do this but for the XDA2 type this works.

Has anyone experienced their TP crashing during normal operation, and found the only way to recover is through a hard reset?
That's what happened to me last night. I'm running a stock HTC ROM that I upgraded when it came out (two weeks ago?) and the device was working without any problems up until then.
Last night though I was using Opera to browse a website and it suddenly became unstable. I closed Opera and found it wouldn't re-start so I performed a soft-reset. From this point on the device wouldn't go past the boot screen (displaying 'HTC Touch Pro' with the red version numbers - not even getting to the animation). I attempted to soft reset a few times (and even removed the battery for a while) but it still would not boot.
So I performed a hard-reset and restored a backup, whereupon it now seems ok again.
To give a little more info:
- the device was fully charged (had been on charge via USB all day)
- TF3D not installed - standard WM6.1 with SPB Phone Suite installed
- Browsing over wifi (bluetooth and HSDPA connection were also active)
- Running Opera 15613
- Just before the crash, a bug appeared whereby typing a single character into a website textbox (using the slide-out keyboard) would cause that character to be repeated a large number of times on screen - this has never happened before
I've always run the device with the stock HTC ROM and never had any issues like this.
Anyone had anything similar happen?
Yep, just had to hard reset then restore sprite...I was trying to play a song through tf3d and it froze. Soft reset only lead me up to the first screen that states radio version...yaddah yaddah yaddah...hard reset 'solved it'.
Does your phone got hot?
I had a problem while browsing over wifi. To boost the speed i changed power manegment to best performance in wifi settings and phone got hot in few minutes, opera crashed and soft reset didn't help either. But for me removing betery solved the case and also cooling the device a little.
hope this helps

It gets warm sometimes, however in this case I'd only been using the device for a few minutes, so I think it was still cold.
I tried removing the battery but that didn't help.
Seems to be behaving itself since then though.
I got the same problem nearly every day. After a few hours (up to 12) it gets frozen. Only hardreset was possible. I got this problem since a view months. I'm trying now to leave one after another program not installed after every necessary hardreset. Currently i'm suspecting either WM6.5 itself, vAlert or some other mortscript apps. For now i don't installed vAlert and there is no crash since over 24 h.
The following programs are innocent:
- tf3d
- pointui
- SmsReportsEraser
Surprisingly enough, I had the exact same problem just the other day. I got my TP about two weeks ago and was still looking around here learning the ropes of flashing etc and the differences between it and the Mogul. I kinda liked the business card reader that came on the stock rom and couldn't find it as a cab anywhere so I was undecided on flashing a new rom. I also didn't like the TF3d so I wasn't running it. I was using the regular win today screen with spb weather and Phone Suite installed. Worked fine like that for over a week. I got a text message on Tuesday and the TP froze up, so I did a soft-reset. It got frozen on the boot screen just as you described. Fortunately I was able to in hard-spl from the micro disk to unlock it, then I installed NFSFAN's custom rom, also from the micro disk.
Not related to the topic, but I really like how that new rom functions. I added the telus radio as well and now the battery at least makes it through the work day. Before I had to charge it mid day! Only thing I miss is that stupid business card program from the stock rom. If anyone can point me to a cab I'd really appreciate it. I get so many cards its a pain to enter them all manually.
Thanks,

I just started having this problem a couple of days ago. This has happened twice now. Warm-booting did start the reset process (I would get the splash screen), but it never got past that.
i think theres a thread about this somewhere. The cause isnt known but they are trying to pinpoint the problem. Bad rom chip, software problem etc
I've also have been affected by this and its a pain... having to setup the device again.
Mainly this problem has to do with tf3d2 in my case as i try to save a contact each time it will free. So i have to manually enter a phone number and store it.
I guess its better than a hard-reset
Hi.
My phone shows strange behavior now 2 times in a row: After some time, i suddenly get an error, that some exe wasnt found and i cannot start any application, the start menu gets empty, etc.
It's like he cannot access the hard-drive ( ) anymore, just like what happens if you turn your hard-disk off while xp is still running (try it, its fun!)
Afterwards, i cannot get past bootscreen if i soft-reset. ONLY a hard-reset or reflashing works.
I remember, that i didn't always did a hard-reset after flashing a new rom, could this MAYBE be the issue? I flashed my phone after the first incident and now did a hard reset after the second one.
Hi,
several persons in our company (including me), who are using WM 6.5 (cooked ROM) and connecting to company's Exchange server via Exchange active sync (e-mails are on server) reported that suddenly this message appears on the phone:
"All information on this device will be erased after the next unsuccessful password attempt"
It is not possible to enter password and do anything with phone (just reboot). Funny is, that nobody did any attempt to enter password before - phone was just lying on table and this happened.
After reboot hard reset on device is performed and also memory card was wiped.
If somebody has same experience - just write here, maybe there will be some solution in future.
And note - if this happens to you, before reboot remove your storage card - it will be erased
Info:
IPAQ 614c, ROM WWE 21215(5.01) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496283
Company policy - forced password.
This has happened to me twice now, once when i was about to go on holiday, of course wiping the 8GB's os music on my card, and again last night.
It really is a problem, at first i thought it was some malicious b*stard at work, but now i think it's an issue with the rom.
I'm going back to 6.1, can't handle this happening every other week.
Artemis P3300 running different 6.5 cooked roms.
Cheers!
There is possible solution - when such message appears, do not press anything just remove batery - we have simulated it once and phone remained unerased.
If anybody can confirm this just give me a message.

I can confirm workaround - it worked for several my cloeqes.
Why is this happening still remains secreat.
Maybe solution to mysterious "...unsuccessful password attempt"
I was having this issue exactly as described in the first post frequently. I may have stumbled across a solution. Turn-off Showaco's TitaniumWeather.
Go to TitaniumWeather Options;
- check "Use On/Off Time:" set "On Time" and "Off Time" to 0
- uncheck "Enable Auto Updates"
- Save/Exit, then soft reset
It's been 3 days and I haven't experienced this issue since. It could be a coincidence, but worth a try... maybe others can help verify.
Hi,
this may be a solution for you, but not for us, because nobody is using Showaco's TitaniumWeather. We (3 phones) are using SPB Weather and there is no such settng.

I've been experiencing this problem on almost every cooked 6.5 rom I've tried on my Raphael/Touch Pro. As far as I know the exchange server has to be configured for remote wipe and enforce hard security for this to happen. Unfortunally most of the chefs arent working for companies which are as paranoid as mine (and yours) which meens they are quite unaware of the problem.
This problem might be connected to the Activesync "85010013" error when trying to sync for the first time. The "85010013" problem has to do with some security registry settings that are wrong in most 6.5 roms used by the chefs.
Mine has happened twice in the last three days. I'm syncing with a BETA Exchange 2010 server which is pushing typical security settings (wipe threshhold, mandatory screenlock...) Both times occured after the phone was lying around locked (auto screen lock set at 15 minutes) for a while. When I attempted to unlock the first time, the PIN keypad would only take two digits then I'd get a wrong PIN message before entering the reaminig digits or even hitting enter. After 8 attempts at this, the device wiped. The second time, the phone wouldn't even let me enter in the PIN, but said it was going to wipe because I had exceeded the maximum incorrect entries. I'm starting to think the TF3D2 keypad is part of the problem when the device wakes and asks for the PIN. I've set the PIN keypad to classic as opposed to default and set the auto lockout to 24 hours. Once I finish backing up the Exchange sync settings and setting up my spare SD card, I'm going to set the lock time back to 15 minutes and see what happens.
Any solution to this problem?
Is there a solution to this problem? I am getting this about once a day. Thankfully it still allows me to enter the 10th password attempt, so I haven't experienced any data loss yet.
I am running a cooked rom with TitaniumWeather integrated and Exchange forced password. I disabled TitaniumWeather updates; it didn't have the On Time/Off Time options.

Twice this has happened to me. One time it happened in the middle of me using the internet, the second time it was just laying on the table. I believe the issue is a 6.5 issue, since it never happened before I upgraded. I also use Microsoft Exchange. That also seems to be part of the issue. PLEASE HELP!
