ok so i have searched high and low, googled and poured through many various forums and i can't find an answer anywhere so i figured if i was going to ask anyone for help it would be where the issue started.
so my problem? i installed the wm6.1 update by kavana when i got my phone about a month ago and after about 6 hours of tweaking i finnally got it on my phone freaking awsome i thought! i had been using the omapclock prog to underclock my phone to improve battery life much like i had used a similar program on my moto a1200, but i ran into an issue with the playback on a video in core player so i decided to bump up the clock speed to resolve this issue thinking that if it came with the rom then my device would be compatible with the clock speeds allowed by the program, so i set it to 288 and the phone froze, i reboot the phone... same thing. i cant access anything not even the start menu and when i try my s620 crashes, i call t-mobile and ask them for the hard reset i guess i should have figured that it wouldn't work i found another person said to hold the 1 key and then hit 2 that doesn't work either, another says to reflash the phone... i don't see how this is possible if the phone can't load active sync, WTF ? does anyone know how to hard reset or clear the settings?
seriously i can't be the first person to have had this problem, does anyone atleast know how i contact kavana to ask what the hard reset buttons are?
i don't know what kind of device you have but you should be abel to reflash a ROM using the sd card method i know for a fact because i do my own ROMs & that is one thing that save my a*s. be more specific on your device so we could help you out more.. ps: also a hard reset should of done it if you are overclocking because it resets your setting back to the stock on the ROM you have
You have 2 x options bootup phone press nothing plug in usb on computer go Windows\Startup find omap delete it... The second is hard reset to be found in excalibur forum sticky... b.t.w if the first part doesn't make sense a quick search of omap in excalibur forum will give precise instructions...
Good luck.
and btw overclocking is often a risky business and if you puch the clock speed to far, you will fry ur board!!!! USE WITH CAUTION!
to the 1st reply, i did state the device i have it's the s620,
to the second reply, thats the kind of advice that is useful, i'll try it and get back to ya, thanks alot

I'm pulling what's left of my hair out.. Somebody must know how to help me out.
My problem is. As a subby to a very large firm, I have been issued, along with hundreds of other guys, a T Mob MDA II details bit:-
R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.60.00WWE
I guess you'll need it. Well, an admin geeza has locked them all up sooo tight we can use it to make a phone call and oh yes the other thing receive a phone call.. Imagine my excitement!!!
NO menus no FUNctions nothing! just login as administrator. Now, though very basic, i have a laptop running W98, with Microsoft active sync 3.8, a comm D9 pin to cradle (XDA II from O2 shop) oh yes and no active sync!
what can i do to open access to this wonder of Tech and close the "Kiosk Switcher" window i may not escape from??
PLEASE HELP ME! P.s. great site guys, lookin forward to using my unit as soon as i can.
Doesn't it violate any company agreements/contracts if you modify your company issued MDA ?
Oh where to begin indeed...
Well, i have actually paid in full for the MDA. It's locked up to stop some ppl messing the things up. I'm not the brain of brit but i have a plan. 512mg MMc on its way and no danger of compant software being messed up. :idea:
Please do begin!! Help me..
Also, how long will it take for a donation receipt to come through, i'll need it for the tax man?
hi T3D,
did you try to hard reset it yet?
buzz
Hard reset
That's the power button and reset pin hold down thing yes? Well it all looked good! right up to the point when it ended at the locked window. back to Square 1
Thanks for the reply though.

Well, it sounds to me that they have modified a reg. string that gets loaded and written during the hard reset, (i.e. somewhere in the Ext_Rom!)
Try to press CANCEL while loading (installing) the ExtROM stuff and if the TAPDisable is functional.. then press on the center NAV button during the same process.
I know that restriction :evil: it sucks huh :?:
how about if you just reflash it to 1.72?
all that admin stuff will be gone as last year's snow...
you can even flash it with 1.60 stock version if you like...
buzz
still stuck!
Helpful.. Well, tried the cancel and nav button via hard reset and no joy as yet. now trying to read up on how to re flash.. Any suggestions? :?

Since you paid for it, take it to the admin geeza and tell him to unlock it.
Make sure you look menacing when you tell him.
Update!!
Joy, got in by nav keying the hard reset! Result, had a play but most s/w hadn't installed. This gave me a taste of things to come. Now i looked in the startup for this alpha sequence that boots the thing to locked window and realised it hadn't been installed yet so unable to get rid now i know it's there some where as i hard reset it again and back to sq 1 again!!! this stuff is stored somewhere, but where should i look. gained active link via IR aswell. will re try just need a map to the memory holding install S/W in the hope that maybe i can re write the lock up bit and hard reset to an open book!
Does any one know what the hell i'm on about???? :?
Now that you have succeeded in breaking the start-up sequence, you are left with a basic WM2003.
What did not install iis in the ExtROM.
IF
You install the ExtROM Tools (found on tis site), you can unhide the ExtROMand then one by one install the apps that are in there, UNTIL you find the one that introduces the blocking of functionalty. To do that (after unhide & unlock) look at the config.txt file. That file lists the installation script.
When you find the blocking app, one more time hard-reset, install the tools, inhide AND unlock and: Just remove the line with the app that introduces the blocking.
After you finished dont forget to LOCK the ExtROM & hard reset . . .
BTW Flashing is a good idea too, but maybe you lose some company-specific apps you might need . . .
good luck
I'm in atlast!!
Well i found the offending item last night after many resets and nav key meddling... looked in file explorer/storage and an auto run file(?) was there with a clue in it's title. i hadn't read the reply above at that time so i just put an mmc card in, cut n paste jobbie on the file to the mmc card and Bob became my uncle. I hard reset again to go for the full install and it stayed unlocked from the kiosk switcher!! RESULT! However, the above sounds like a far more sencible idea!! Will do that for the rest of the gang..
Thanks for all the help guys
oh one last Q' every 20-30 mins i get a pop up, bearing in mind i've been in every folder, programme and file, I may have changed a thing or two.. :?

What the F*** is that?? I'm still learning... What did i press?
...looks like some application is connecting regulary to internet over GPRS, but you didn't set it up yet. maybe email client...
buzz
Good point and makes sence!
I'll stop running programmes from start/settings/system/memory/running prog's, wait till it pops up and go look what's started, we'll see what it brings me..
As i type we find it's "acticesync". Cheers buzz, been a great help!!
i'm finding USB settings every where but my cradle is a D9 pin comm connection. Is there some specific settin listed in the instruction manuals we never had with the MDA's?
Oh yes. the V2.2 unlocker worked first time for me. No probs as yet to report... OPCS sim works fine. better signal in some places but only to be expected from a different network!
... it is funny...
i can remember, that there was a guy here on the forums, some time ago, asking how he can lock XDAs for employees... just wanted to allow them using the phone only...
maybe it was your geeza admin... ;o)))
try to search for those threads... maybe you'll find some interesting info..
buzz
Tellin me!
Buzz,
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE..... Just how much info there is on Locking these up. Every site every official O2 an T Mob Site hold details on who, where and how to lock the babys up. Could i find a thing on unlocking?? Beleive me I did my home work. I know soo much about the selfish safe software and by total luck i heard of this site. Full of PDA guru's i was told!
Hat's off to you guys, you got a great, all be it, hush hush reputation!
Cheers for the guidence guys. If i wasn't told you could interrupt the installer i would have tied a noose round the MDA's bettery by now!! Hope this string helps others in my OLD shoes.

I searched around and didnt find much relevant info so, ill better just ask.
Ok so, just suddenly the battery status on my phone (LG KS20) is not updating, its frozen at 100%. It do discover if its plugged to an external power source and since it hasnt died yet the battery is recharging. I have tried do a restore with spb backup to a couple of days ago, the problem was not present at the time but is now even after the restored backup.
Anyone got a clue? Any tips or solutions?
This is pretty strange considering you restored a backup which didn't have the problem.
I had the same problem and figured out the problem is with the dll containing the battery status..
There's an option (which you should search for) to change the type of your battery status. Some work better than others and some don't get stuck at all.
If i manage to get my hands on it i'll let you know.
btw.. if you don't manage to switch to another type of status.. you should hard reset. if hard reset doesn't work, it's obviously a problem with your device.
Well if you could find that method of changing the type of battery status that would be good as i sure cant find it...
otherwise ill do a hard reset during the weekend, so now i have to find the instructions for that again sure wasnt easy i remember
Well i just did a hard reset and its still there.... : / guess its the device... ill see if the store would mind me adding som money and picking the htc diamond or something : / WM6.1 and all the HTC programs would be neat...
anyway no help needed anymore
Posted this over at PPCGeeks, but since there is a bigger GSM following over here, thought I might try and see what you guys think.
As the title states, something bizzare happened yesterday and everytime i open the physical keyboard it freezes my device andd i have to soft reset. only thing i can do is use the soft keyboard which defeats the purpose of having this device. i must have hard reset a dozen times and i even loaded the stock ROM again thinking i had a corrupt file system. fuunny thing is before and after hard a hard reset and I load the stock ROM and the device starts it to load the customization bloatwares it hangs on the ozim .cab instal and i am forced to soft reset to get it going. i am baffled. i called at&t and they are mailing me a new Fuze, but in the meantime i would like to to troubleshoot the device and get it working because i have no idea when i will get my new device. i am tempted to load a custom rom but i am convinced its a hardware issue. so any ideas, advice, they are all welcome, and if someone can extract the keyboard driver into a cab maybe i can give that a try. thanks in advance.
Flashed to RSW's 1.5 Fuze ROM and I still have the same issues. Could my system be corrupt, is there something in the registry I might look for?
Hi,
My girlfriend recently bought an XDA Orbit 2 which has WM 6.5 install on it.
Everything else on the phone works perfectly and without issue but she is unable to make phone calls correctly;
The phone will be able to dial out and establish a connection but no sound can be heard by either party even though both phones say the connection is there.
This can be resolved by a hard reset, however this only last for about 10-20 minutes before we lose all sound once again.
Can anyone shed some light onto this for me?
One thing that always screws up phone calls is the radio on the phone it should be a 1.59.xx.xx to check it go to start => setting => system => Phone Information => Software Information. Will find it there also while you are there what 6.5 rom is she running on it as if its not a stable one it may be worth updating it...
Should the .xx.xx be anything in particular or just stay as .xx.xx?
anything in particular i use the stock one (with the default rom) which is .42.15 any should do the job though...
Ok the radio on it is 1.58.25.14 which im asuming is wrong. How do I change it?
This a custom flash thingy ma bob wont hard reset the phone when you flash it => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376119
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426203
Is the radio i am using and imo the best for signal/ battery life.
How to do it.
1.Download both
2. Put the nbh file in the same directory as the custom ruu
3. Put the phone into bootloader (Start + OK + Reset whole on bottom, hold the buttons until it show a red green white blue screen)
4. plug it in to computer (let the drivers fully install)
5. Start up the Polaris_Custom_ruu.exe
6. Follow the instructions, shouldnt take too long to go through and flash
7. it will reset and you will have a nice shiny new radio and hopefully no more call problems.
All i will say now is what an idiot for selling the phone in that state... (may actually be the reason it was sold lol)
Im going to sound ike a total idiot now but I have no idea what ruu is or nbh or where to put it or what a bootloader is.
Could you possibly put it in moron speech Chris?
LOL well honestly i thought that i had already done that....
Have a look at the files that you download and then it will be explained.
The RUU is the thing that will do the flashing to the device
The nbh files contains the information of you download the stuff and follow the instructions you will have the result that you want honestly i cant think of a simpler way of doing it
Ive also put 2 screenshots to try to help you (one has a different radio but you get the idea...)
Also give this a read but i feel it may confuse you more..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600
Its a noobs guide to flashing and has all of the info that you need to have.
It does give one point that it has to have SPL-2.20.Olinex on the screen but i would guess this is there as you already have 6.5 on the phone.
Awesome, thanks chris I will get it done tonight after work and let you know how it goes, if it fails I have no doubt I will be back complaining about my lack of phone savvy.
Hey Chris, just to let you know that it worked perfectly, thank you for your help it was much appricated.
No worries glad that it worked as if it didnt then i would be out of ideas...
Hi I have looked through all the forums for my issue but I cannot seem to find my solution. I love the vibration on connect feature but I have not been able to get it to work. I have it checked in the advanced phone settings, and have looked in the registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting\ConnetingVibration" and the value is set to 1, but it still never seems to work for me. I was wondering if someone could help out with that, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks a lot ,
Mikel
assuming that you have already performed a soft reset in this case, I think you should try to change the registery value back to 0 and then try to "activate" it via the actual menu on the settings option. and do another soft reset.
I hope that helps. otherwise, if all else fails and nothing is helping, a hard reset should solve the problem.
good luck
Vibration on Connect still not working
I tried all those things and still have no luck! Do you have any other ideas?
you even tried the hard reset? That usually clears everything back to factory settings.
If that's the case then it might be the rom that you are using.
At this point, i think you are beyond my scope of knowledge (which isn't much in technical details). Hopefully one of the more experienced members here will provide you a better answer than me.
Vibration on connect
Yes Im using the chrome rom and that could be the issue. If there is anyone who could help me with this that would be greatly appreciated!
which dialer does it use? is it the standard htc dialer that came with your phone? or is it the newer tachi dialer? google or youtube these if you don't know the difference between them. I suspect that you have the newer tachi dialer, which doesn't actually work with vibrate on connect with the fuze . If it's the older dialer (ie on a stock rom) then i would recommend hard resetting to get it back. good luck!
ps make a signature with your rom and radio etc or put it in your question so others know what you're running
