HELP can't do a Hard RESET TOUCH HD!!?? - Touch HD General

HTC TOUCH HDThe device stuck in animated gif. Try to do hardreset, first become bootloaderscreen and then a message "No image file"
Please Help
What a hell of a job with these small buttons!
Thanks in advance!

this way
On a powered off phone hold down the volume down and the volume up button and power on at the same time. After a couble of secunds you will get a warning... You can now let go of the buttoms. if you want to proceed with the hard-reset you press wolume up buttom otherwise you press something else..
Rememeger you will delete all you data by hard-resseting your phone

I had some issues as well the first time I wanted to hard-reset my HD. But after several times, I got it. I laid down my HD, pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time with my right hand, and pressed the power button at the same time with my left hand, and it will come.
Just try several times, and you'll get the same. But try to backup some part before if it's possible!
The one you've done (I guess) is the bootloader, which will appear when you press the volume down and power button at the same time.

I have a Dutch device, so I don't know exactly how it's called in the English rom. But this is what I did:
Goto 'Settings' => 'System' and then something called 'Opslag wissen' in the Dutch rom. In english it would be something like 'Delete data'.
When you do that you are asked to enter "1234" and press the YES button. After that, the default settings are restored and all data is deleted.
Now this is my issue: I had installed several programs on the memory card and they are stil there, which is good. They even work after the reset, which is also good. But I can't put them in the programs menu or programs tab anymore, which is not good.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or do I have to get rid of all the programs and reinstall them again?
Grtz,
Thijs

Re-install the applications..
Hey.. I think the easyest is to re-install the applications... Just because you choose to install them om the memorycard, the software stills place som files in windows system files...

backup
just to be sure i always have a map on external storage with all the cab files i installed. in case of hard reset ik can always reinstall everything whereever i am.

@GreenFrog Thanks for the quick reply!
Now i know what I was doing wrong, I pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time pressing the power button, but I'm instantly hold the powerbutton down, instead of pressing it one's!
But the mean problem for all this misery was a corrupted SD-Card (There were no more Apps installed, something had blow them away,the directory Programfiles was complet empty), the device couldn't start up Windows Mobile. When I remove the SD-card everything works fine again, except that i have to re-install all apps.This looks very strang to me, never had such an issue before!

the trick is to hold both the volume keys down and to press the power button just once. It will not work if you hold down the power button while the device is turning on.
Hope this helps

This also stumped me for a while.
The difference between going to the bootloader and doing a hard reset is that to do hard reset, you press BOTH the up and down side of the volume key whereas to go to bootloader, you press only the lower side of the volume key. In both cases, you press the power button.
Remember to do this after shutting down the device.
The approach of going into setting and do a clear storage is fine as long as the device is not frozen up yet.
Hope this makes it clearer for everyone.

Today setting hang

Dear all,
Sorry for bad english,
I bought used XDA II, which is one month old.
And I am new to this gadget.
Today everytime I change today setting, my xda is hang.
I have change it before with no problem.
Any body can help me? thanks.
Sorry,
While waiting the answer, I try looking to the program menu, there is Dictonary and mobimate worldpro, I try to run both program with the mesage Not Valid poket PC application, I dont know what happen.
On the "remove program" both program also appears,
I have remove both of it, (with no reason), and the today setting is back to normal.
Thanks anyway, but what happen to both program that gone maybe my next question.
Hi Waduk,
What I would do in your situation is to perform a hard reset, this will put the device in factory defaults. Of course you will loose all custom applications installed by the original user, but at least you will have a clean device. However you will need to manually delete old stuff from the Storage folder.
If you don't know how to Hard Reset the XDA2, just press the power button, the Action button and the reset hole in the bottom at the same time.
Best regards,
Rayan
thanks.
I hate to sound argumentative . . . but you don't press the action button. To hard reset the XDA II/MDA II/Qtek 2020/i-mate you simply press and hold the On/Off switch and depress the reset switch with the stylus, then release the on/off switch. That's all there is to it!

Pls Help Cant Change theme on Fuze!!!

Hi pls help,
Just got an At&T Fuze......its got couple of inbuilt themes but when I apply it doesn't change......i tried all of those but it remains d same.......do i need to unlock something or some problem with my fone???
Any help is appreciated.......thanks in advance....
Get TF3D
I'm assuming you mean the TouchFlo 3D theme and not the windows theme?
You need to download and install TF3D found in this section. Then find a theme, there are plenty posted on here as well.
No by theme i mean the actual theme........taskbar....the bottom bar...menu...etc.....it just remains the same even after applying new theme.....is it some problem with my fone??
pls help
Are you clicking the "ok" in the top right after you select the theme? I just got a Fuze yesterday and no problems switching themes here...
Try what Maxxpower just said.
If it's not that then I doubt there's a problem with the handset... just the software. Try reflashing it with a rom or something?
I had that problem with my fuze too, something messed up during the initial setup and the top and bottom bars were green and never changed with any theme.. may not be the answer your looking for, but a hard reset fixed it for me.
Hard Reset:
Take off back cover, remove stylus.. find red "reset button".
Hold down Volume Down and Main Circle Button... press red reset button with stylus at same time. Release reset button keep volume down and main button pressed.
Wait for some text to come up on screen, press volume up to continue, press volume up to reboot.
Just incase OP didn't know =]

Or just go to Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage> Type 1234 and click yes
lol. Wasn't that easier? haha it's just another method. I prefer the above method when you can't access the device at all. This one is much smoother and faster since you only have to type instead of opening and clicking and holding. Just my opinion
thanks a ton guys!! i will try a hard reset and hope it works.........

First what you can try is remove battery ja sim and then put them back.
If nothing else helps final help is hardreset. NOW, REMEMBER TO TAKE BACKUP FROM YOUR CONTACTS ETC..
To perform a hard reset
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed
programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
1. Pull out the stylus
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly
press the POWER button.
3. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all your settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufaturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
4. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
5. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
or with phone on:
To clear storage
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Hope this solves your problem.

[APP]psShutXP Diamond - Replaces Long-Press Power Key

First I would like to state that none of the graphics in this cab file are my work. I don't know who made them but it wasn't me. Also, I am not the developer of psShutXP.
What I did was fix psShutXP so that it replaces the Long-Press Power Key. Instead of having a lame, white "Do you want to shut down" window that pops up when you hold the power button, you will have a nicely skinned psShutXP window that gives you the options to turn off the display, power off the device, reboot the device, hard reset the device, and even gives you the options to set reboot schedules.
Note that ALL functions are working in this cab that I put together including Shut Down.
Screenshot:
is the application running in the background or is it triggered upon long press of the end key?

It's triggered when you hold the power key for about 3 seconds. It does not run in the background and is not set to the end key.
i meant the power button my bad
installing right now

If you guys overwrite PowerOffWarning.exe, you'll no longer can turn your phone off completely (Exp when you wanna turn device off at night )
dharvey4651 works nice.
Thanx
Nice app. man , thanks!
I want to know, I always see apps that schedule reboots for the diamond, why is it so hard to schedule a simple shutdown? Or isn't it so simple? I mean, ok with the reboot but who needs it anyway? I don't....but I realy need the power off, isn't there something that can be done?
i tried uninstalling the application but it doesnt revert to the original..how can this be solved?

Adv Config
Adv config allows you to map the long press power button to whatever you want. I just used that to do exactly this and a few other indispensable tweaks.

Can u please share where one would do this tweak in Advan. Config. 3.3? I will continue looking.
Harvey, you're quite the h4x0r!
I've been following your work in the XBmod Manila HD thread and have been hoping for a working version of this program for a long time!
Quick question, does clicking the gear in the top right allow for a hard reset using the clear storage method? (or does it open the clear storage settings menu?)
This hard reset option really messed things up on the old version of this software, to the point where I needed to flash a new rom.
FYI, I'm using a CDMA Telus diamond in Canada, eh.
I can confirm that soft reset, shut down, and screen off all work on a CDMA diamond, 20764 sys (from the leaked new sprint rom). The scheduling function also works great. I still wasn't brave enough to try the hard reset function though.
thanx for tweaking this app, it has now saved me a space in my start menu.
dharvey- thanks.
does anyone know where the setting is for the amount of time we need to hold the power key down before the psshutxp opens? i'd like to make mine come up faster.

Good idea (i prefer the end key long press for this) but for an inexplicable reason it's not working on my Diamond and Advanced Config 3.3. It seems to take the setting but when i press the end key it "choose" the action which is defined by Start - Settings - End key Long Press.

Not sure if the hard reset function works or not. I too am too chicken to try it.

Your welcome. I don't know if there is a setting to change that. It's the standard long-press-power-key function with a nicer, more functional interface.

It does PsShutXP has 3 functions:
- Display Off : Turn off your screen backlight (keep programs running)
- Power Off : The same when you press your Power button (differrent from when you do long-press Power button and chose YES)
- Soft Reset : Reset the device
About hard reset: don't worry, it just does a soft reset!
Simple Example: When you wanna change your SIM, usually you turn your device off completely, then remove battery, change the SIM. Now, you can't turn it off completely.
Btw, this is a good soft, but i don't think replace the PowerOfWarning.exe is a good choice!
If you guys don't care about the true "Power Off", forget my post and enjoy
i uninstalled it and soft reset however its still worki
ng.the only difference is that it does not appear in the uninstall list..
i love its looks but i somewhat disliked some behavior at the moment..
i found that after running it once it and after clickin on cancel it will run in the background (not such an issue as you are more likely to reset than power off the screen )
the problem in my case was that it somehow crashed this one time and a long press on the power button would not trigger it anymore..so i had to remove the battery to reboot.. it does work now again but i dont know what caused it..
wow.. thanks this is great stuff
however, anyway of making it into an actual APP, like the original psshutxp which is only triggered if u run the prog?
i dont really want it to be mapped to my power button...

Back Button Questions...

Ok...
On my last WM phone, the Motorola Q9c I was able to use the back button to go back to what every program I was using previously.
So, for example if I was in Opera and hit the Home button to go WM home screen, I could then press the back button and go right back to opera.
That's not the case on the Snap for me... anyone know of a hack/setting or something that will allow this?
It works for me... if i press the back button it goes the the screen/program i previously had opened

Seriously? The back button is the one under the right soft key right?
So, if you are in say GoogleMaps and your phone either goes idle to the home screen and you hit that back button it takes you back to google maps?
Yes, just tested your google maps example seeing i never use that, but when i use the back button (the one left of the power/call end button) it goes from the home screen back to google maps.
Maybe it's a setting somewhere?
it works for me as well, seems like ur the only one here with that issue.
sorry man..only thing i can think of is possibly trying to uninstall and re-install ur new apps and see what that does..maybe even hardreset!
how do u hard-reset the Snap?
I can't get this to happen either. The home screen stays put.
to hardreset :
start > system tools > clear storage
at that point u should be prompted to enter "1234" to set the device back to its factory settings, basically out of box.
Even after a hard reset i am still having this problem.
It's really annoying... anyone have any idea/setting/regsitry hack?
