Softbank Hermes Freezing

[EvilAsh]

I have 2 softbank hermes phones and both of them have started freezing up on the splash screen. Both phones have hardspl and I've been using TAI's golden globe rom with no problems for a while now. But a few weeks ago my phone started getting errors and some of the program icons (like for device update, internet explorer, googlemaps, etc) were missing. If I soft reset it'll freeze on the splash screen. I had to re-flash a few times before it started working again but after a day or two the problem would come back. I tried a different rom but I still get problems with missing icons. I think it's a problem with the internal phone memory. Anybody experience the same thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Do a check for bad blocks...
Also, before reflashing a BS rom, flash a stock rom. That should stabilize the memory area.

Cheers...:D

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Have a few questions though (sorry noob :p )

Do a check for bad blocks...

Do I check my phone or microSD card for bad blocks? What software do I use?


Also, before reflashing a BS rom, flash a stock rom. That should stabilize the memory area.

Stock roms are shipped roms right?

Use the search function to find the tutorial on how to check for bad blocks, I have it in a txt file somewhere but not sure where it is. The bad blocks will be on your Hermes.
Stock roms are the shipped roms, yes... Best idea though, if you can find it, is to use the stripped down ATT rom found here somewhere. It has the Radio Rom stripped out so that you don't need to unnecessarily flash your radio rom .

Cheers...
