Phone won't turn on...keeps restarting

[tkao2025]

I've read in other forums of this problem but have not been able to find a solution (not entirely true).....when I turn the phone on in the morning, it just keeps restarting without going to the home screen. Sometimes it take 2 reboots sometimes more. The only way it will boot up correctly right from the start is to take the mem card out, so I think that's probably the problem, but it's not a corrupt or problem card. Once the phone starts and I put in the mem card all is fine.

I want to try to format the memory card from the phone, but don't know how to. Anyone else know how to do this? Also any other suggestions or solutions?

I got this once. Somehow i got the phone on. I just took the card out and put it in when its about to restart. Mabye it was luck, but i dont know. But if you get your phone on again, I would certainly format it (clear storage) :)

Does your phone ever act up again after that? Mine still does. It turns on fine without the memory card in. By the way, how do you format the memory card on the phone?

Mine rebooted all the time until I removed Facade. Hard Reset the phone and didn't install it and haven't had the problem since. I know Facade isn't "compatible" yet with WM6, but other than rebooting it worked fine.

[tkao2025]

Really....I'm going to try that and see what happens.

For those that have this problem, it's true. Once Facade is uninstalled and a soft reset, the problem went away....

I had this happnen to me for the first time today. I had the phone off all night (was testing another device) and then when I put my SIM back in and powered up it went into this reboot cycle. powerd off, even took the battery out still no luck.

Then I took the SIM out and tried to power up and it came right up. Powered off and put the SIM back and it worked agian first time.

Not sure, but maybe the SIM was not fully seated... since this was the first time I actually took it out since I get the VOX...and this was the first time I had the problem...

I had the same problem, although I never installed Facade, Initially the phone was fine and the it started re-booting on startup. I saw a suggestion of running SKtools and removeing duplicates in the Notification table, this worked for a while, then it came back again.

At first the only cure appeared to be to re-boot without the sd card inserted - inserting it again after the phone was running (it even had the same problem with a blank card inserted)

I then read abot someone putting the phone in Flight mode before turning it off - this also solved the problem - better than removing the card each time.

I had the same problem and solved it by hard resetting the device. However after the hard reset the option to user the storage card for email attachments has disappeared from the pOutlook options screen.

The SD Card is OK and I tried to solve it by a new hard reset, but it is still not resolved.

I would be very graefull for the one that has a solution for this.

I have the same problem with my SD card.
With the card inserted the phone keeps rebooting.
With the card removed it starts normally.
When I insert the card when WM6 is running the card is normal accessible.

Tried an other card and also a 1 Gb card. Same problem over and over.

I'm going to try a Kingston card.

If anyone has a solution, I'll be happy to hear it.

i have my microSD inserted when i power on my Vox but didn't have this problem. what rom version do you have? my rom version is 1.15.405.2.

I have a friend with a similar problem. Would appreciate any further input on this situation. Has anyone taken a look at Paul's (from Modaco) answer to soft reset loop????

Check it out and see if it does anything. Want to know if that'll fix it before I take the phone off his hands.

Hi all,

Like many Vox users, I've also suffered from this problem.

I've noticed two scenarios which helped me solve the "boot-loop". Hopefully they'll help others.

I once had a GPRS monitor application installed to my strorage card. Re-installing to the phones memory helped me.

Also, when I had bluetooth turned on, I powered down, powered-up again, and the phone booted okay!

I think theres a few variables involved in this, and no single "silver bullet". Hopefully HTC will provide an official fix soon.

Friends,

Thats all humours. Don't need to remove/install any software. All work fine except you reboot and remove your SD card.

Its simple: if rebooting occurs, just remove SD card and once booted, reinsert SD card, simple! nothing else need to do.

Its true that its a bug with WM unfortunately; i don't know when would it be resolved. :mad:

i have tried to boot up with 512MB & 1GB sd card but never had this rebooting problem. Maybe you can let me know your current rom code version and i will try to verify the problem?

I have got the same problem my phone keeps on restarting...:confused:
when i put the mem-card after restarting it is being opened as storage card 2, and default storage card option asks for turning on the bluetooth.

Hi,
Had this problem once (and drove me nuts!, I was out on tour, no PC access nothing).
I formatted the SD Card (Its always better to use a card reader and format it from a PC.
Another I had this problem (hope you are not as dumb as me ;)):
I use TPC and set it to ultra slow :mad:. So every time I booted up, the CPU was not simply powerful enough to cater to the power requirement and rebooted. I had to do a Hard Reset. Hope you have your contacts backup before you go for a hard reset :p

If you have bluetooth file explorer turned on, it will show as a storage card :)

i had it long time ago with one of the official htc roms.

The solution is to make loose the simcard-slot in the middle of the booting.
Vox will turn off.
Close and start the phone again.

It should be over then.

[Addicted2xda]

Yeah! The official ROMs suck! actually the best solution will be to switch to a custom ROM from Dr G/FH / fireburned, they are much much better feature wise/ battery backup wise and speed wise. I think HTC should try using one of those ROM as there official ROM :D

thanks for all your replies....
whats surprising is that this thing never happened for a year... but it has just started recently.. after i installed WM6VoIP.CAB from WIKI page... now i have uninstalled it but problem is still there... don't know weather this was due to the same...:confused:

thank you all once again...
