From the file link you have specified, http://micmeo.com/UNI/WM6/900_WWE_20...0_wwe_ship.zip it seems that you are using Jwrightmcps' WM6 2.01.08 WWE Rom Release.

I too have lock-up problems but only during boot-up. The frequency of this happenning is about 30% and why it happens is still unknown since the lock-up happens at random stages during the booting sequence. The only solution that I know of for now is to simply do a soft-reset repeatedly until the device boots up properly.

I had this problem also. I found pulling out the battery for 5 or more seconds solved this for me every time.

Give it a try. Good luck

Try to enter the bootloader mode (power+light+reset). From what you have described it appears that you should not have problem entering the bootloader mode. Please remember that in bootloader mode yor screen is dark and only when you look very carefully you will be able to read the word "Serial" on the top of the screen and bootloader version number at the bottom. If there is inssuficient illumination in the room it is quite possible to think that the screen is blank. There will be no backlight. Once you are in the bootloader connect to your PC (before connecting please open Active sync on your PC uncheck the "Allow USB" connection in File / connection setting) Once connected the word "Serial" on the top of the screen will change to "USB". It is advisable to use only the original cable. Also connect the cable directly and not through a hub. Now reflash the rom and do a hard reset. I have faced problems by softreset after upgrade please try hard reset.
Hopefully your problem will be solved by a reflash.
Best of luck
