seems to be frozen on "checking OS", NEED HELP

cvs · #1 (**permalink**) 11-23-2008, 01:52 AM

I'm hoping someone can help me. I used the unlocker and:

Bell
Clean: http://download.ppchaven.com/CDMA%20...aCleanv1.6.rar
Full: http://download.ppchaven.com/CDMA%20...laFullv1.6.rar

When it restarted it shows "Microsoft Windows Mobile Booting" followed by "Microsoft Windows Mobile checking OS" but seems to stop/freeze on this screen. Nothing happens with pushing any of the buttons. ActiveSync doesn't seem to recognize the device when connected to my PC.

The HTC Touch will respond to the hard reset command, and then stops again at the checking OS as above. Same thing if I take out the battery.

If there is a way to try and reload the presumably corrupted operating system I would appreciate advice!

If it is now garbage please let me know as I have to then buy a new phone soon.

It is technically still under warranty but I'm uncomfortable returning it if now unlocked with a corrupted and different operating system then it was sold with.

Please help if you can

Reflash the stock carrier ROM.

How long did you wait?

It sat there frozen for at least 2 hours

Reflash the stock carrier ROM.

I tried to rerun the download but it doesn't seem to work as the "wizard" says it can't detect my device and it shows as not connected on the activesync

Any other ideas?

go into the bootloader and try flashing the rom
to do this hold down the camera and power button and press the reset button

the camera button, power button and reset brought me back to the multicolored screen and let me run the rom utility again but I have the same frozen screen "checking OS"

Any ideas? Should I try another rom download?

Flash another rom, are you running a 3.xx.xx radio?

Maybe a dumb question but what version of the unlocker did you use? If you used the incorrect version that could be what your issue is.
