WM2003: entering bootloader causes cold-boot

Was told a few days ago, but just remembered...
WM2003 seems to re-use the RAM needed for the RAM copy of the bootloader. This means that once you've entered the bootloader, even if you've only briefly looked at the pretty colored bars, the device cold-boots when you reset to go back to the OS.
Funny thing is this happens on some of our machines, but not on all...

Having the same problem on my QTEK...
i reported this here like 2 weeks ago i thought it was only on my device!
:?

Yes this happenes as well on my XDA (german O2)with WM ( 4.0.01 and .05).
Unfortunately the Band switch ( XDA dev. version ) is not working as well.
regards,
Silver

Also happens to my os xda Asian version with the following details:
Bootloader: 5.17
Radio Stack: 4.21 (UK version)
ROM: 4.00.05 ENG (06/05/03)
Protocol: 32S54
Funny, I thought I was the only one having this problem...

This also happens on 3.x ROMs, sometimes it just resets, sometimes it does not.
On the same device, with the same ROM and the same configuration, writing whole ROM to SD didn't do a hard reset. 5 minutes later, brief look at the bootloader erased all data.
It's about computers, it has no system...

possible fix
Samething happened to me. after i set everthing up perfectly and all i did was try to unlock the phone.
I think i found a possible fix. u need to make sure ur device is not powered on when u enter the bootloader mode. so if u want to access it. press the power button to make sure screen goes off. wait couple of seconds and go into bootloader. i tried this and my device was fine after soft reset. let me know if this works.

AAARGH !!! Stupid Radio Stack !!

Flashed the ROm up fine to 4.01.16. But the Phone won't start up. Dumb Exclamation mark next to signal strength thingy.
Since then it's been Flash-city. I've been back and forth between 2002 & 2003 of various flavours. Most of the time the phone won't talk to the PC anymore either and I have to flash through SD.
What's going on ? I just want my buggy 4.00.05 back right now :-((

First procedure to do is there's a label on the back of your unit saying PW10A1 or PW10B1 well the first is for 900/1800 and the second for 900/1900 .
Goto the bootloader and check if it's still GSM OK, if it does then don't worry you could make it back to business bcz you might flashed your RSU part with the wrong version, or you setted the Gsm on the wrong freequency to fix the wrong setup :
1- Turn off ur device
2- press on the power buttom + the hard reset buttom
3- you should see (GSM OK)
4- press on the callendar buttom
5- select the frequency 900/1800 or 900/1900 depending on your device
6- press on hard reset it again
PS: this will erase all your data from the ppc.
If it didn't work out with you then it's possible now that you flashed your ppc with the wrong RSU version depending on the back label.

If your device is a PW10A1 Flash it with RSU 3.25.00 Ver. If it is PW10B1 then flash it with RSU 6.25.02 Ver.
Good luck to you now.

yes!!
i am verry happy
a few days ago i have upgraded ppc 2002 to ppc2003 andsuddenly i also had radio rom version 4.21.00 and there was no way that i could get the gsm radio part working or i couldn't even downgrade to radio version 4.16 orso

signal drop!

i have problem, when i put my polaris into my pocket or in a bag, the signal bar turns to ! icon ("No Status").
is it hardware thing or radio?
i had flash it into 3 different rom and dowbgrade radio but, still i got this experience....
i used rom ori WM6.1
RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Radio
Polaris_Radio_ROM_1.59.46.12
could anyone help me?

Just when you put it in your pocket? (are you sure your pocket isn"t built with aluminium )
have you any signal when the device is up ?
Have you try upgrade radio instead cause 6.1 and 6.5 need newer radio try 1.65.30.09

Do you always have the problem if you turn your phone into "gsm only" mode ?
When did you discover this problem? After a flash or something?

Sprint Mogul Radio Help 911

I am using a Sprint Mogul
=====
Radio Version: 3.42.02
Protocol Version: DCAAXAM-430H
HARDWARE Version: 0003
PRI Version: 2.04_003
======
I Installed v1.1 Heavy for Cricket WM6.1
I installed Olipro-240 and then loaded the rom. I had no problem everything worked. Then I decided to upgrade the radio to that new one 3.42.50.
I attempted to flash to the rom using formatted 1GB Kingston FAT32 and the bootloader would flash loading and would do nothing. So then I used Windows 7 when I was flashing this rom [via usb] however I had left advanced networking on or maybe didnt establish an activesync so whenever I was installing from bootloader it would stop at 8 or 9% and reboot. "Unknown command" I think it said. This is where the problem started. I tried it on my XP SP3 machine it would also stop at the same percent and reboot.
I installed nuespl 2.47 and then installed the radio[3.42.50] and v1.1 heavy rom w/ no problem[via MicroSD]. However during calls my phone will reset randomly. Even when I flash back to the sprint factory rom it still reboots during calls.
Another issue I have is that when my phone goes into hibernation after 2m. It will not power on with the power button. I have to do a soft reset. I have to disable the power feature that turns off the monitor on my device. I have oxios so I dont believe its a memory issue. Can you share some advice on how to fix my phone or if it is bricked and i need to get another one.
I've spent about a 4 days straight trying to fix it and my GF is getting fed up w/ me on my phone so any help from anyone who knows what they are talking about is much appreciated
PS - the phone not turning on after hibernation was a problem my phone developed before flashing.
---
I downgraded my radio after all of this to 3.42.02. I am still having the same issue. I've reinstalled the radio, rom and did hard resets and pulled battery. The phone works fine on the internet/txt/mms but while on a phone it just resets at different times.. When it comes back on it sometimes has to search for a signal, this takes anywhere from 2-10minutes.
plz assist
