hi guys!
long time with no post from me but today the stupid thing (HD) did it again
i installed an app for home page tweaking and after the soft reset my HD dosen't starts right
it boots, does what it does but it sucks on the black screen with some icons on the top bar and the names of the soft keys on the bottom bar. i can only turn ona anf off the screen by pressing the power button, but nothing else. screen doesn't react, soft keys don't react either
i don't realy want to hard reset it because it took few months to make it working right, but i would do also this if there is no other solution
BUT...
when i try to hard reset it it stucked again in the tricolour mode with "SERIAL" word on the botom
what is this? i can't write anything so what is this serial all about?
so, please let me know if there is any solution for:
1. step by step booting in order to skip the process or application that cause the stuck?
2. how can i hard reset the thinggie?
thanks a lot!
Had the same problem after I installed HTC home and HTC customizer...after a soft reset, TF3D failed to load and the phone froze. Had to hard reset in the end--thankfully, I run a backup once a week, so I really didn't lose anything. I was able to run 'Clear Storage' before TF3D's startup fail managed to freeze my phone. So it's all good on my end...
Backup backup backup...a little too late...
Maybe you are not doing the hard reset correctly, you press and hold both Vol up & Vol down keys, whilst holding down power button aswell until it turns on. Hard reset screen should come up.

Sounds like a software issue Hard Reset sounds best
What you are seeing (Tri Coloured Screen) is the boot loader it probably showed up because you didnt hold the volume up key when doing Hard Reset
its not a problem just remove battery
then do hard reset (make sure both volume buttons UP/Down are press at the same time and press power button ..........follow what the screen says
thank you guys for your opinions
i know how to do a hard reset (cause is not the first one) and i tryed severl times before i post my request here
finaly i manage to do an "upgrade" using USB connection from my rom version to the same rom version. strange but this is what i did, and then i was able to do the hard reset in the usual manner
now i am working hard to restore all applications andtweaks that i had
luckily i use often backup and i still have contacts and personal infos

Hi,
I've a problem with my phone : my dizitalizer screen is out of run and i have been done a hard reset of my phone.
Now the message "tap your screen to set your preferences..." (or something lika that) appears on the screen. Is there a solution to bypass this step or not to see this message after a soft reset ?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but, "Tap the screen" means just that.
Whats wrong with the screen?
And just for your info, a soft reset is either:
1. Hold Power button longer that 15 secs and turn off / back on.
2. Pressing the recessed button on the right hand side.
A Hard reset is when you hold both the Comm button and Voice button at the same time and reset using the indented button. Keep them held while the device cycles and the reset screen appears.
Re: Screen digitalizer HS and hard reset
Yes I know but my dizitalizer is out of order so I can't tap the screen...
(I used my pdafone without stylet until now since my screen is out of order)
I look for a way to bypass this step because it's physically impossible for me to do the operation.
Thanks for your help.

Any idea ?
a solution
i think i've found a solution. the problem is the software 'welcome' that is in the startup folder of windows. Is there a way to remove it from the rom ?
cook your own rom
Well, people do cook their own roms. Xelencin and summiter do so regularly. moyofalaye has done so too. The welcome screen is part of the ROM as opposed to the extended rom, so that it is a more involved thing to remove it. On the other hand, I am sick and tired of changing my appointment with Dr. Johnson and would welcome a ROM that avoided that part.
This is the second time, and second device that this has happened on. My device froze and then when I did a soft reset it won't go past the green WM6 splash screen (memory card is removed). The green light still flashes and the screen goes black after a while, but nothing is ever displayed.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
My apologies seeing as I'm still a newb. All that was required was a hard reset; press and hold both action buttons while pressing the pen into the soft reset button.
After reinstalling WM6 I am able to use my Titan again (although all my personal data since my last back-up was lost).
Try to hard reset your device.
Press the left and right soft key, then punch the reset hole with ur stylus. Hold the two buttons until the screen displays some thing, follow the instruction on it.

Can not hard reset my device.
Guys, I've tried both methods,
Turn phone off, press left key, right key and power button, all at the same time..
and also have tried
Turn the phone off, press left and right key and using stylus to press reset button..
Tried both so many times, but just can not hard reset my device. Any ideas where I may be going wrong?
Hard Reset
Yes, i have same problem,i can t make hard reset.If i try i have only white dispay with blue sign .....pres R on keyboard for reset or press X for cancel....But i don t see any keyboard and if i try press any button nothing happen.For way go out from this situation i take out battery.Later i put back this battery turn onn and everythink return to normal. Out of reset.
I have the same problem. After two hard resets I can't hard reset. Problem is the phone restarts after entering PIN. I even tried an othen SIM card or no card at all but nothing happened. When I try to hard reset with the stylus it does absolutely nothing. If I try with the power button it doesn't hard reset, it starts normally. Any suggestions? Please help me, I've got the phone for just about 30 hours.

That's entirely right. If at the point that you get the display making you choose between reset or cancel, slide out your keyboard and press the given keys Should work just fine, have done it myself several times.
Hard reset
Thank you,perfect work.

Step by step
1. switch off your phone.
2. enter in bootloader by press and hold volume down key then press and hold power on button keep holding both untill four colour bootloader screen shows up. (release power on and volume down)
3. press and hold both left and right silver keys at front while holding them press and hold hardreset button located under battery cover untill white screen with warning shows up.
4. open keyboard and press "R"
5. Follow instruction on screen.
Its Done. Hope this will help you

dude thank a lot, i was getting upset, mad and scared, dunno why it got stuck at the green windows mobile screen, not going further.
that was hard to perform lol, hard-reset the "hard way" al by myself.
I have also experienced problems hard resetting the device and have resorted to Start>Settings>Clear Storage and it seems to have the same effect, no?

thanks, this works!
yeah.. clear storage is the same right??? hardreset ya?
can someone take a video on this 'hardreset'
i think this could be very helpful
thanks.
just hard reset my xperia after trying so many times like the others out there.
just wanna add additional info, you have to keep on pressing and holding the 3 keys (2 front keys and the reset button) until you get the blue screen.
if you press then simultaneously for just a few sec w/o waiting for the blue screen, you'll just soft reset your unit.
Hi all,
This is my first thread after being around with the availble great roms for awhile, this morning I came across a weird problem, somehow when I try to hard reset my X1 ( 2 silver buttons, reset button with stylus ) it just reboots back, like a soft reset. So instead giving me the hard reset options, it just boots like normal with the SE logo etc.
This is the same when I try too enter the rainbow bootloader screen, device shut off, removed battery and reinserted. But when I press volume down and power button, is just reboots as normal.
The weird thing however is, that I am able to flash roms when I use the ruu tool, it just goes to rainbow screen by itself, I just cant do it myself with the hardware buttons, or do a hard reset! This always worked.. Any ideas ?
Edit : I reflashed hard-spl, did nothing to solve this.
Thanks!
To hard rest, it's the soft keys and the main power button, not the with the reset button.

no as long as your holding the two front soft keys when the phone powers on it should go into hard reset. but it only works properly for me when i use the reset button.
make sure your holding the two front keys until the HR screen comes up, again, don't just press them once, HOLD them until it says in blue writing on grey background, press r to reset then press the r on the keyboard to HReset
this is the same for entering bootloader, hold volume down (and make sure it is down not up) and power until you get the rainbow screen
Weird thing is, I know how to do these two tricks.
I did like 20 hard resets with the two soft buttons etc.
Same goes for bootloader, only that isnt a big problem cause
I found out I can use enterbotloader.exe in windows map. Maybe
theres a shortcut for the hard reset too? Thanks

I have the exakt same problem I use smabergs latest rom, and I cant hard reset or enter tricolor screen, please anybody know how to solve this?
Been a while since I have been on here. I miss my Wing so I decided to reach out to you guys and maybe you guys have a solution. Last year while I was still using this phone, my screen would flicker white once in a while, then that progressed into only turning on when I slid open the LCD screen slightly. Meaning that when it was closed, it was black, couldn't use the touch screen, I would have to slide it open to use it or I would have to slide it partially to use it while it's semi-closed. Then finally one day the screen just went black and doesn't work anymore. I know the phone still works fine because I see the keys light up and I feel the phone vibrating. I took it apart thinking maybe the band of the screen was loose or cut, but it was perfectly fine, I even took off the band and put it back on to see if it would make a difference, still no difference. What do you think it can be?
try a hard reset:
press both soft keys and while press the soft keys press the soft reset key by ur stylus for about 3-5 seconds and then release the soft reset key still pressing the soft keys. when u release the soft reset key some instructions will appear to format the phone mem. remember to make a backup of all important data before proceeding.
if this doesnt work then try updating ur ROM ... i find flashing my herald with flashcenter to be the easiest way. you can find the HOW TO here on xda forum
