Help - Himalaya (I-Mate) PH10B Problems

[daron.uk]

Hello,

Forgive me I am a complete noobee.

I bought a Himalaya (Ebay) which seemed to work correctly for a few hours. The it froze and kept freezing on reboot. Next day similar sequence. I basically found it irratic as to when it would switch on and when it would stay on, (I charge battery fully on the cradle but no difference).

Hoping to cure the problems I managed to upgrade from PPC2003 to WM6, but it's performance is the same as before.

Can anybody recommend a fix?

Again forgive me if this is a really dumb question.

Thanks.

My hima freezes at starting too, but I found out it is sd card which causes freezing at start up. So when I softreset I just take off sd card than it start normally,

I have kngston 2GB sd card, maybe sdhc driver fix would help, but it aint a big problem for me, I dont mind.

Thanks for the info.

Mine freezes with both SD card inserted and SD card removed.

sounds like the batt is causing the issues by getting a bit loose or being generaly a bit defect or the batt connector

I have bought a new battery, still no joy everything is exactly the same. It seem to boot briefly when first thing but once it's froze it is impossible to reboot, you have to leave it a couple of hours before it will boot or nearly boot. I think this is a definately hardware issue, any suggestions anybody?

Thanks

Did you try to put your device in Bootloader (Hold POWER+ACTION+RESET)
If you can acces to bootloader than try to reflash the rom with the new one (I recommend syed ather wm6.1 rom) simple fast and stable
