OS keeps corrupting

[Wheezle]

I've recently tried a couple of WM6.1 roms on my 838pro (Pays 3.05 full and RanDomIze Final Storm v2.10") and they both work for a while, but after some time (twice in the middle of an installation, but not always) most of my shortcuts stop working, and if I soft reset the device won't boot (doesn't reach windows loading).

Is anyone aware of this happening before, and any way to fix it?

Thank you!

I upgraded to 6.1 and it worked fine, but after a few hours while installing a game it basically did what you described.

Now it won't boot into the OS, what did you do to get an OS workin again?

I figured out how to reinstall WM6.1, I tried another release and it did the same thing. It's weird it works fine until you sync it with a pc and start transfering things, both times it was after transfering from my xp desktop but my Vista Laptop seems to not cause this corruption, i'll keep testing

Have the same problem with a large number of 6.1 OSes. Found yo can sync with your computer BUT only leave it for as long as you'"re doing stuff then disconnct. this seems to stop it stuffing up my phone as the ONLY thing you can do once the OS dies is reload the OS with another flash( had an error message come up saying that a program wsnt signed with a proper cert or some such and it automatically goes back to factory reset). Since only syncing when I need to it seems to not have problems. Just means I need another power point to recharge my hermes. Cheers.:(

I had the same problem until I loaded CRC's 6.1 V8. I have been running it for about a week with no problems at all. Be sure to delete all devices in Activesync before you connect to use Activesync.

Yeah, that's the only one that's kept working for me so far!

i do suggest that you guys do a check for bad blocks

although i have heard that a rom flash *might* be able to fix bad blocks, dont take my word on that though

[jinner]

with the bad blocks, if you do have it, wouldn't it not matter if you are running wm5, wm6 or wm6.1? they would all crash, mess up eventually?

I will try checking mine for bad blocks, but I didn't have any problems with wm5, upgraded to wm6.1 PAYS, had constant freezes, crashes, hard resets, etc...this was after I installed programs. If I didn't install anything, it would be ok. Although it's not like installed crazy programs, the usual google maps, today agenda, etc... maybe three or four programs.

Now downgraded to wm6, installed more things, no problems. (knock on wood)

it could be possible that you just had a bad flash with the 6.1 rom. or it could be just possible that one of your apps did not agree too well with 6.1. happened to me too, i somehow forgot that i had wm6.1 and installed an app that was not compatible with 6.1
