Hiya
Just got my htc touch hd, installed a few cabs (Fennec, skyfire and what not), however when I now click on other cab files i have put onto my storage card, they will not install. The green highlight bar just flashes when i click it and the "Up" and "menu" at the bottom flash and disappear. I have tried double clicks, single clicks - the whole lot! Does anyone know why it is doing this and how it can be resolved please - without a hard reset lol.
Furthermore, my end key does not lock the device when I hold it, despite the settings saying it should. I have downloaded pocketsheild so hopefully wil;l; that fix it in a way? However I cannot install it!!!!!
All help appretiated, have searched but not much luck

well after i installed an new rom on my tmobile wing i got an error message saying error cant find soft keys so on my home screen there is no soft keys? idk what to do and i am panicking
What Rom did you flash?
as of now I would go to the Windows folder, Subfolder StartUp and see if there is an link with the name: vijaytodayshrink.lnk.
If it is there delete this link and you get your Softkeys back.

edit: one thing, the softkeys are only not on the Screen, the mainkeys right and left on your Phone are working, if it is this with the link.

What rom did you flash to? I flashed to open touch 5.1 and I think I got that same error message, but my soft keys did work anyway. You can always just copy the included file into your windows directory, and then do a soft reset. Then, you can go to start/settings/system/soft key and reassign it.
I have a very strange symptom on my device. When I go to the start menu and try to scroll in the window it didn't refresh the screen, the icons are overlapping each other. This happening if I am go to a subcategory in the start menu as well. See attached screen shots. Right now it seems every other apps are working fine.
Issue caused by WMedia Support by Helmi's. I uninstalled but it did not helped at all
Any idea, how can I resolve this issue?
What I have done till now:
I have checked the install cab file - it seems all dlls were removed from the device (2 or 3 remained but the date of the files are the same when I coocked the ROM)
I have checked all files were created/modified on the day when install the codec, but I did not found anything.
I have tried install some start menu converter such like start menu grid, but they did not helped at all to solving this issue
ROM: Dutty WM6.5 LEO R4 WWE
Any help/idea would be appreciate.
I think you will need to Hard Reset your device as you mentioned that some critical system files may be missing. I don't think anything else can be done.
Change the tsk theme to classic blue then soft reset, then change it back.

Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately it did not help, any other idea apart from hard reset?
If no one else has reported the same bug in the chef's thread then flash a stock rom, then flash the Dutty rom again. Then hard reset twice. Then find an update to that program you installed that caused it in the first place.
I don't think it is related to the rom is much more the app I installed. If there won't be any other idea i will do a hard reset and check (might be update rom as well)
I also try to check registry changes what I found in the cab, but nothing special, at least for me
Hi there,
I have problem installing some cab files, when I try to run them it keeps going to the Today screen where you select your theme. Can anyone help me please or has anyone had the same issue.
Many Thanks
I just experienced a similiar problem.. I press the .cab file and nothing happens, when I spam press the file I see "Start" name come up in the taskbar for a half second or something.
Hard reset
Sorry, the only way I was able to get out of this was a hard rest.
I installed Swype 3.9 and it worked initially. I can access the menu through keyboard icon. I accidentally uninstalled it because wm7 skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear nether does keyboard menu. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have any idea to my problem? Anything can help.
Thanks!!
Let me know which one works best.
i tried both of them, but still doesn't work. I think the problem is either me unable to delete the program completely so the re installing program can't install the cab fully.
The program appears in application list as"swype-inc" but still doesn't create "Swype" folder in Program File listing in File Explorer. I don't know if that's the reason why the keyboard doesn't appearing
Hope that make sense.
Download PIM backup or whatever you use to backup your phone and save your contacts, messages, and whatever you need. Then do a hardset.

Sounds like your registry is corrupted.

MemMaid is a 3rd-party app that helps clean memory among other things...one of the features it claims it has is the ability to clean out the remnants of bad uninstalls...give it a shot and see if it clears out the old crap so you can fully install it again. Cab is attached, I think it's a trial version (time-limited).
I never done hard reset before. What does it affect? Would hard reset make all the programs currently installed in the device go away? or does it reset to original factory configuration? How about stuff in SD card? does it affect any data in the SD card as well?
It doesn't mess with your storage cards data one bit. You'll go completely back to stock on your phone like the day you bought it. Backup your contacts and what not using myphone or any other backup program you want. PIM Backup worked best for me.

How to perform a HardReset
Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. 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 settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
First of all, Thanks for all the advices guys.
I did the hard reset. I installed the swype cab file and it says it was successfully installed then did the soft reset. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have no idea why but holding the keyboard icon won't show the swype menu.... I'm so lost..... is this mean my hd2 is ruined for swype usage?
For some reason, after the hard reset, things are little different from when I turned HD2 for the first time... odd
This is the last cab I've got for swype. It's a long shot but give it a try.

Wait. You did a hard-reset and Swype wasn't already available?
What ROM are you running then? 'Cause all of 'em I've seen had Swype pre-installed.
If you did a true hard-reset, you should have to install Swype...
Hello,
My phone has 4 number security code you have to enter when the phone's being unlocked(did in settings, default winmo lock but HTC made an unlocking skin on it).
I've taken out a battery while the phone was on, then turned it back again in 3 hours. I move the unlock image, and as usual dialpad appears asking for security code. I enter as I usually do and it says INVALID CODE. I'm like - WTF? Tried again, nothing. Tried dozens of times, nothing. Reboot doesn't help. Now it even stopped saying INVALID CODE, when you press the unlock button it doesn't do anything.
I had the "lock" feature working fine for weeks.
QUESTION: What to do(without hardreset)? Phone is set to sync when USB connected, Windows Mobile Device Centre says unlock your phone first before sync. I can't do anything, can't make call(i can receive it), can't check messages or anything, i can't unlock it ffs! Help please, any ideas are welcome
you aren't alone,happened to quite a few.
did you recently install swype 3.9?(there are other reasons)
i've not seen anyone get out without hard resetting.
i have miri rom with swype pre installed
maybe there's a way to upload a file to storage card that will change some registry keys? problem will be how to run it

About the only thing I can think of is if you were able to find a way to put something in the \windows\startup folder that fixed it - but like someone here already said - odds are you're going to have to do a hard-reset.

It happened to me awhile back...i tried to find a way but didnt manage to find it, i had to hard reset..
