Hi,
I have upgraded my MDA to NO EVIL ROM Windows mobile 6 version from this forum. Device was working great for couple of weeks. Now suddenly it stopped booting. When I do soft reset the
S.N.E ... Presents screen comes up.
Then HTC Wizard screen comes up
The Touch No Evil screen come up and then it stays at the same screen. It does not respond even to power button now.
The radio light (green light) blinks. The system does not respond to even hard reset.

I am tosed. Please help. Any response to recover from this situation is usefull.
Thanks in advance...

From the sounds of it, something you have installed or configured isn't allowing the phone to finish booting. You basically have 2 choices at this point... Hard Reset or Reflash the phone.

When you say hard reset doesn't work, are you sure you are doing a hard reset? Pull the battery out and let the phone rest for a minute or so. Press the power button a couple of times (yes with the battery out) to discharge any power in the device. Then put the battery back in, and press the top two buttons on either side of the phone (Comm and Record), and while holding those in press and release the power button. After a couple of seconds you should have a black screen with white text asking you about resetting the phone. Press the Send key (the green phone key that you use to answer the phone) and you will have completed the Hard Reset. If you get errors then you need to tell us what they are. If you never get the black screen with white writing then you aren't holding the buttons down correctly.

To reflash the phone, put it in bootloader (press and hold the recorder button while pushing in and releasing the reset button (or while turing the phone on)). Once you get the tri color screen, hook up the USB cord and it should say USB in the lower left. Now you can flash it (even though the phone won't connect to ActiveSync).

Good luck and hope that helps.

Thanks for the advise. After several tries, was able to hard reset and started booting and working OK.

I have not done any soft reset after this event. What should I look for to correct, if any errors.?. do you recommend that I reflash the ROM?. The only software, I had installed was Microsoft Voice recorder. I have not installed the same after the reboot.
Thanks

Now after resetting, I see my phone getting into vibration mode all the time. Even if I set to ring mode, it will automatically go back to vibration mode after some time. Any idea on how to fix the same?.
Thanks
