Hello,
yesterday i was flashing a new rom to my prophet and for some reason i got a bluescreen while doing it. and the process stopped at 60%
after flashing again without problems i face some poblems.
sometimes it takes 1 or more softresets for the cell to find my network.
wlan ist not working at all. i can find a present network but when i try to log in i allways get the message network unaviable.
i tried to install the original o2 rom that came with my device but i have the same problems
just that it finds the wlan network and as soon as i enter the password the complete call hangs.
so now i have the shadow "my edition" 2 rom on my phone but i cant get it running it goes till "tap the screen to set up your Windows..." and then nothing happens anymore
i can not even get to the bootloader the phone just does not boot when i hold any button during boot. only thing working it hardreset but that does not change anything
before i tried to flash a new rom i was using the "my edition" 2 rom and everything was working fine but now after the crash it does not work anymore
i managed one time to get it running compleatly but wlan did show the same problems as under othe roms
could it really be that i damaged the hardware durning my abortet flash?
can anyone offer some help how to fix this?
IT seems unlikely that you have damaged the hardware, but it is possible.
Can you enter bootloader? If so, disable connect through USB in activesync, connect the device, and run a NVID AKU 2.2 WM5 ROM. See if the problems persist with this.
Hi,
This is my problem, I have a X7501 running Windows Mobile 6.5 Cooked by MichyPrima. The current Rom I have is this; "Athena_SPL1.2_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
The problem with this version is that every time I do a soft reset, all or more of the programs that I installed get deleted and I have to reinstalled them again.
So, I decided to upgrade my pda to this version
"Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY"
In order to this I just simple need to flash the above file in my x7501 and here is when the problem starts,
I run the "RaphaelCustomRUU" that comes with the rom, I follow all the prompts and when the instalation start (0%) the pda auto-restart, the connection get lost and the installer simple stops.
I tried to install another version "28205_1_04RVGA" but happens exactly the same, I tried to update my Radio, and the same.
It looks like something is making my Pda to restart and doesn't allow the installation to continue. I also follow the steps from 1 to 10 of this file "AP4_How_To_1.8" to try to fix any problems with my device and nothing.
Battery is 100%
antivirus is off
PDA Sync perfectly
PDA works properly except when soft reset
Does any one has any idea why the auto restart is happening???
Thanks in advance

Hi I also have a similar problem:
I was running SPL3.5 & AP4 on an Athena X7500 previously but making a hash of the new/old roms to install, i flashed AP Touch by PK.
I am now unable to get into windows mobile's Today screen as the customisation process which runs config & AP Touch.tsk keeps resetting the device. Each attempt i flash (i tried multiple ROMs, ranging from AP Touch again, AP3newSPL, and AP4.0 again) results in an error asking me to check my USB connection to the device. I suspect its because i do not have enablerapi anymore inside the device. I am unable to install enablerapi into the device since it keeps resetting! deleting files from the startup folder to try stopping the customisation / reset process also didn't quite work, neither does it allow me to delete the AP Touch.tsk file inside the device.
Can anyone help??
Well, after a lot of research and luck I have finally resolved my problem.
and here is how I did it.
As you know my device every time I try to flash it from the computer, didn't response and simple cut the connection. I tried to flash it from the SD card and nothing, so.
1) look for the rom you want to flash, in my case was "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY". Note; you can go from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 but for some reason I couldn't go from 3.5 to 1.2 or earliest.
2) I put my Athena in bootloader mode, by pressing camera + Comm Manager + reset
3) the colored screen appears saying on the white area (serial). why, I'm assuming my device was waiting for a serial connection or something
4) and here is the luck, I connect my USB cable to my device and the word serial changed to USB.
5) I activated the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the "Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY" rom inside and follow the prompts
6) the installation for the first time in more than 6 months finally start and satisfactorily was completed as well.
done
I'm checking if everything is okay, but so far, everything cool,
Hope this is helpful to those who face the same problem.
cheers

Hi ,sorry noone saw your post but it would have been obvious what your problem was.
There is a way to downgrade to SPL 1.2 and it is in the stickies.
Just for reference if anyone finds this thread, you should have gone into bootloader to check your SPL and then made sure your ROM matched this.
The mismatch was the problem that caused the endless reboot.
regards lakeman
Thanks for your replay.
but I'd like to mention, that I was not trying to downgrade my SPL, in fact I was trying to Upgrade from 1.2 to 3.5. But that is not the issue.
My problem was that no matter what installer I used, after follow all prompts, the installation process freezed at 0%. Everytime I connected my PDA, everything looks alright until the installation process started and nothing always 0%.
So the solution was to put my PDA in bootload mode and only when the coloured screen appears, only at this point I connect my USB and double click the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe with the desired OS. My PDA instantly recognized the connection and did the installation.
Cheers
This week I stalled an app which totally ****ed up my HD2. I don't remember the name of the app, but installing it resulted in the following:
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.
This is all quite annoying so I did a reset to factory settings. However this didn't solve the problem, so I am assuming that dreadfull app I installed did an override on the factory settings.
So the next thing I tried was installing the latest rom from the htc website, which should have been an easy thing. However it failed midway. Now the issue is that my computer doesn't not recognize my HD2 anymore when I connect it with the cable.
So the question is? What do I do now? I was hoping anyone could help me with this problem. Before when I was a student I had plenty of time to search the net/forums for a solution, but now I am working full time and I already spend most of my weekend trying to solve this issue. So please anyone help me out

i have to leave for work in 5 minutes so i won't be able to follow this up...but..
when you say factory reset, did everything else go back to what it was as you bought it?
1- can you get to bootloader (when booting up phone hold the "down volume"-- i think it is down, may be up. try it.)
2- if so you are good.
3- in bootloader flash hspl
4- flash new rom
I performed the factory reset multiple times and by 2 methods.
-setting->return to factory settings
-turning off the device-> press down the volume up/down buttons and press cancel call button
All settings were turned back to the original settings however the 2 problems (1: tilting screens and 2: unable to detect device on computer) did not disappear.
I tried to do what jsmccabe78 said, but my device just booted up like normal. No bootloader screen or anything.
I have anyone else has an idea.
Make a backup of your contact list.
And make a Hard reset!
In difficult situations, you can maybe use/do a "Task 29"
using the second option I described is a hard reset
try reflashing a stock ROM.

now what do you see when you boot your phone? have you tried deleting the settings for your phone on your computer for wmdc/activsync? 0have you tried uninstalling wmdc and reinstalling? try those first.
now, if your computer still does not recognize your phone your next option is to load another rom - whether it is a newer official rom or a customized one (your choice.) if you cannot connect your phone you will need to do this with bootloader.
if you can boot your phone, you can get into bootloader.
to get to bootloader:
turn phone off.
hold "volume down" button key.
turn phone on.
this will get you to bootloader. if this doesn't work, i am out of ideas. you need a new rom and you can flash from an storage card, but you need to have hspl first.
let me know.
now you can 1- flash hspl and 2- flash new rom
Sorry for the late response jsmccabe78. Thank you for your response. I got my phone into bootloader mode which enabled me to make a link to my computer. I ran the stock rom that I downloaded from the htc website and it installed succesfully.
Unfortunately this did not solve the problems I described in the OP.
-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.
-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.
-Start softbutton not working.

Also my computer still doesn't not recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader mode. Reinstalling WMDC did not solve this issue.
I am still thinking these issues are software related and not hardware related. But reinstalling the stockrom should have fixed the issues if it was software related shoud it not?
So 2 questions remain;
1) How do I fix the issues in the OP
2) How do I get my computer to recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader
I hope anyone can help me solve this mystery.
Try it with no sd card in and see if you still have the problems? If you do :Take out your sd card and put it into your pc with card adaptor. Then delete the application data folder on your sd card. If that doesn't work make a back up of whatever stuff is on your sd card and then re-format it, then and copy back your apps and stuff. If you had a rough idea of what it was you installed try and leave that out when you copy your files back to sd. If you didnt have much on your sd card i would suggest to just wipe it totally and start again. Hopefully this should sort it, if not im out of ideas. Hope this helps if not soz but thought id try
I formatted my SD card, used the return-to-factory-settings function again and still the same issues. No connection to my computer and all the above issues... getting a bit desperate here...
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?
Hi everyone,
My apologies if these issues can be solved by searching, I have tried and have spent many days already trying to sort out these issues then more keep arising.
Issue #1: Battery drain
I have the dreaded Android OS/kworker/wakelock bug - I'm losing 100% battery life within 6 hours and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. I'm planning on doing a full wipe of the phone and trying a reinstall of the OS to see if this solves the issue - but that brings me to issue #2
Issue #2 - Phone is not connecting to PC via USB
I am trying to do a backup and obviously flash my phone once the backup is done with the stock ROM for my phone (I am running a stock ROM at the moment but a clean version rather than the one from my provider loaded with rubbish) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602579 - the phone will not connect to the PC via Kies USB, it is charging via the USB but Windows reports "Driver installation failed" when it attempts to install the USB drivers to use the phone in mass storage mode.
I have tried in debug mode (it's on right now) if anyone was going to ask that.
Currently running 4.0.3 Official
Download mode DOES work and drivers install fine (Odin gives yellow box)
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling KIES
Going to see if I can connect it via Wifi now to try and get all my stuff off - even if it is slowly :/
Thank you everyone for any help - I am rather upset that my phone which has worked perfectly up until now has suddenly gained 2 major issues at once - one of which cancels out me sorting out the other :<
i had similar issue,
uninstall kies, install USB drivers ONLY... restart
try different usb cables, make sure MTP is enabled if ur using a custom rom, on resurrection before 1.5 you had to run a few commands in terminal, thats what made it work for me!
Thank you for the information - I'm uninstalling KIES now - how do I just install the USB driver without installing KIES? I just tried reinstalling KIES again and had the same problem. Windows just fails to find any drivers and reports a failure to install the device. Which makes no sense because Samsung drivers are installed - Windows seems to be insistent on looking on Windows update, in preconfigured folders and then giving it a big red cross
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34590193/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
Hope this helps.
Thank you for that - I'm about to try a full wipe and see if that does anything for me.
Also on your PC go to Computer/Properties/device manager. Connect your samsung phone via USB. uninstall the samsung driver.Unplug your usb then plug it back in.
reinstall the drivers.
I was having these issues on the official Rom so I flashed resurrection Remix v1.5 (ics 4.0.4) and problem solved... If you have charged only one cycle I recommend you try some more...

Doing the full wipe did seem to solve the Android OS bug - until I unplugged it from the charger this morning and after 13 minutes I'm sitting on 88% battery CPU Total is 33m 19s and Keep awake is 12m 25s so once again kernel wakelocks are keeping it from deep sleep and draining the hell out of the battery.
I have just uninstalled ANY app on the phone that says "Able to prevent phone from sleeping" that I can uninstall in the hope that it's something simple.
Going by the fact I just did a reboot and already Android OS is using 83% battery - I don't think so.
The strange thing is that for about 2 weeks ICS was working perfectly - then with no warning at all it started draining the hell out of the battery with kernel wakelocks and for the life of me I can't figure out why.
Maybe I'll downgrade to GB and see if it helps.
Did you solve issue 2 so that issue 1 can be resolved. If you did then from recovery do a full wlpe, ie data/factory reset, delvik cache, battery stats. Then format system in mounts & storage. Install original gb firmware from Odin.

Hi all - thank you for the help thus far. I have an update:
I have downgraded the phone to my carrier's official 2.3.6
Neither issue is solved, Odin will see the phone if I boot it in download mode but Windows will not see it at all. I did a backup of all my data over Kies Air though and have done several wipes which were needed in order to downgrade to 2.3.6
The phone is still draining within 3-4 hours from a 100% reported charge. If I plug the phone into USB on the computer it reports as Charging (AC) which I found odd - since it used to say Charging (USB). I'm wondering if the battery is not getting a full charge since it's not being charged at full voltage but thinks it is?
I now have a new issue I didn't have when I previously ran 2.3.6 - the screen turns itself on and if I try to turn it off by pressing the power button it freezes, reboots and then repeats the same again.
I have done about 15 wipes so far, I've used 6 different MicroUSB cables and reflashed 2.3.6 7 times already - at this point I'm really over it since the phone is just unusable and I'm assuming there MUST be a hardware fault somewhere so I'm thinking I'll have to send it in for service and be without it for at least 2 weeks.
I'm rather frustrated by this whole thing because none of it makes sense. I've been told by the service guys to reflash right back to the branded 2.3.3 that shipped with the phone to see if that solves the problem and if not, to send it in.
If anyone else has any idea what I can do to fix this please let me know - it would be very much appreciated so I don't have to be without it for a minimum of 2 weeks :<
Phone is currently sitting next to me charging off USB - I just pressed the power adapter since again the screen was stuck on and it shut itself off. It now has the usual picture of the battery on the screen with the white dots moving underneath.
Another update:
Just did yet another wipe and for some reason this time the CSC comes up instead of coming up as unknown, and initially Windows detected it when I plugged it in via USB - then promptly said the device was unplugged a second later.
Got it charging now, but so far haven't seen the screen turn on randomly so it could just be that the problem of battery usage is solved, by downgrading from ICS to GB
I still suspect the USB port may be faulty since it's still not working within Windows (it does say MTP Connected though) but it still says "Charging (AC)" in the Settings -> About menu.
You need to try another PC or laptop. Also have you tried downgrading to 2.3.3.
Do a full wipe. If downloading the 2.3.3 firmware from Samfirmware, download the flash program too. Then try putting the recomended .pit file into odin.

Edit: Scratch all that - I just downgraded completely to 100% stock original shipped 2.3.3 carrier branded bloatware firmware and it appears in Windows straight away without any issues. This is really quite annoying >_< but I guess I'm stuck on 2.3.3 for now since it works or risking the ICS upgrade to 4.0.3 again and just downgrading again if the poop hits the proverbial fan.
Thank you everyone for your help - I still suspect the USB port may be bad but at least it's working for now. Please feel free to close the thread mods.
Update: For those that are interested - I have now upgraded to ICS again and it's working perfectly. Which is really odd and makes no sense. But for those interested:
I was running 4.0.3 unbranded (OPS but with XEU CSC) XXLP8 - USB not working, battery draining in 4-5 hours, USB detects as AC for some reason
Downgraded to 2.3.6 Unbranded (XSA) - USB detecting on phone and saying connected, CSC coming up as unknown but format fixed this. Drivers not installing in Windows for Kies or MTP - suspected USB port
Downgraded to 2.3.3 Branded (OPS) - This was what shipped with my phone, USB started working with MTP, pops up in Windows no problem - CSC working
Upgraded to 4.0.3 unbranded (XSA) - Still working with MTP in Windows without issue. Battery drain seems to be solved as well but we'll see.
USB when plugged in is now detecting in settings -> about phone as Charging (USB) again as well.
I have no idea what the hell happened, I've done so many wipes the last few days and everything else it just all makes no sense (speaking of which I haven't done a wipe since I upgraded from 2.3.3 to 4.0.3... I should probably do that) and for whatever reason downgrading all the way back has solved it. Thank you again everyone for trying to help, I guess it's just one of those weird issues that noone can explain :/
Hi,
So here's my problem. (Sorry, it's a long story)
I purchased a phone from a french company ("Archos") three months ago. The Android phone was working fine until lately when I've been getting random freezes. When I would scroll on an app (Twitter's Feed, Reddit Homepage), the phone would freeze. The only way to solve this problem was by rebooting entirely the phone. Sometimes, the phone would also freeze at random moments (on the Lock Screen, the Homepage, etc...) with the only issue being to restart the phone.
I tried to factory reset the phone but it kept on freezing, even freezing on the first page of the Android Setup Wizard (The one with the "Welcome" label and the "Get Started" button) preventing me from touching the "Get Started" button. After multiple reboots and factory resets the phone was still freezing randomnly.
One thing to know is that the phone was apparently running Cyanogenmod since it's primary launcher was Trebuchet. So, I tried to install a stock copy of Android Nougat (7.0) hoping it would fix the problem. The thing is, there's no TWRP image available for my device (Archos Sense 55S). Instead, I used an tool name "SP Flash Tool" to flash directly a copy of Android onto my phone (I managed to find one online).
But the problem did not get solved. Now, it's worse. Before, even though the phone kept on freezing on the first page of the Android Setup Wizard, 1/12 of the time, it would let me touch the "Get Started" button and proceed with the rest. Now, it won't let me touch the button at all, it seems like the application is not receiving any input at all. I know the screen isn't broken because the "Enter SIM Card password" prompt works perfectly fine and when I want to turn off the phone, I can easily select "Power Off", "Reboot", confirms "OK" on the "The Phone will restart" dialog box, adjust the volume levels, the screens responds! But on the Android Setup Wizard: nothing's happening.
I am desperate. It feels like I have tried everything. I cannot install anything else (through ADB & Fastboot) since I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't allow OEM and/or USB debugging (I can't access the settings without completing the Android Setup Wizard). My question is there a way to install a custom rom with SP Flash tool? If so, is it recommend? Won't that brick the phone? Or is it too late now, and it's over?
Thank you for your time.
