Hi , I need to remove a bit of software that refuses to be removed by using the REMOVE PROGRAM utility in SYTEM.....so I thaught I'd try a hard reset but the method for this described in the manual ( by O2 UK) page 81 which involves turning the XDA off and then pressing the COMM MANAGER + VOICE COMMAND buttons simultaneously and then pressing the reset button ....this doesn't seem to do anything. Any ideas ? Is it misprint in the manual. Failing that any ideas on how to remove stubburn bits of software that don't like being removed with the REMOVE PROGRAM utility. The software in question is GPRS monitor by SPB. Thanks
Why not try Start/ Settings System tab Clear Storage icon, follow the on screen prompts and it should reset your devive - Mike

I had my universal put in my car holder, and apparently it was too snug and it held the backlight button clicked, when i had just soft reset.
The normal boot image came on, but this time a new menu appeared, instead of loading the OS!
It gave me 3 Options:
Enable KILT: NO
Clean Registry Hive: NO
Format Storage: NO
Controlling the menu is really strange:
the UP key scrolls the menu,
the DOWN key enables/disables the selected option,
and the ACTION key appears to start the selected options.
Not knowing how to control the menu, i accedently turned on the KILT option and clicked the action key, which gave me a new submenu, letting me choose the KILT transport method (USB, etc..), and KILT mode (Active or Passive)
i searched for "KILT" on the other forums, and its already a known option apparently, on the hermes forums especially.
They appear to use it to flash corrupted radio versions ("NO GSM" messages), and for other purposes also, mainly rescuing a bricked phone!
I can see how the "Clean registry hive" can be a useful option though, like when you screw up registry entries, making your os unable to load - you can clean the registry before doing a hard reset, so maybe you'd have a chance to save and backup your data.
Can anyone tell us more about this menu, or the KILT mode?
This menu was already known
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=865099&postcount=26
That post is from 10-01-2006
I think it's even mentioned in the Wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Technical
Although it says camera+reset, think it should be backlight+reset
hmm, i see.
i don't know why i haven't found it earlier when i searched the forum.
but is there anything useful that can be done with the KILT options, as they do with hermes?
KITL is usefull if the OS wont boot, that about it.
it allows you to see the wince kernel log while it boots so if you have a phone that wont boot this can help you find out why ;D
No GSM!!! can KITL help?
this seems to be a good news for me....
i'm having this problem of NO GSM on my UNIVERSAL on startup. so it is bricked now. Can this KITL help in getting my Radio ROM to life again???

well there's this thread i found, but its for hermes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=300096&highlight=kitl+pb
be careful, hermes and universal are very different.
read this to get information only, i really dont recommend trying this on your universal without someone who know what he's doing helping you.
good luck
anyone can tell me how to disable this menu in the booting?
just dont press the buttons
Is there a free or fairly cheap program that will soft reset this phone? I don't want to buy a program for $30 just for this one feature.
Its a PITA having to take the phone out of its case, open the card slot then press the button.
Thx..
Will a free program do you
Try PSShutXP - http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/ - it should do the job nicely!!
Mark.
or magic button which is also free
I decided on Magic button. It has a task management feature that I like. I can now get rid of another program and use this one to:
1) Soft Reset
2) Actually close programs
3) Have a task manager
Thanks

Wow. thanks for the advice and hints regarding this. I've installed it in my 750v with wm6 and it works fine. Now i can soft restart my device without the need to open the sd card cover. thanks!
here is the link to the Magic Button software:
http://www.trancreative.com/mb.aspx
magic button caused a problem with my WM6.
it caused the send button wont work to show the call log pop up menu. i had to hard reset the device to fix the problem because uninstalling it didnt solve the problem.
Quickmenu has a built in feature and also the ability to export the command to a shortcut. PHM tools also has a standalone reset file.
I use this one and its free.
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod6672748
WK taks does the trick and more
It is also a task manager, very customizable, has a reset function, and it is free.

I can understand why he'd want that. Before my Touch Cruise, I had a Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) and WM Smartphone editions bring up a quick menu when you press the off button. In WM6 one of the options there is restart. IMO, much easier to do this than to pull out my stylus and push the restart pin.
I haven't got any problems with resetting whith the stylus, but for a menu to appear when I push the power button...
You can also press the on/off button for some seconds. The Cruise will switch off and reboot on next keypress.
found the tool (see attachment)
The reason why I like this is for example when my phone is in my carholder and I want to reset it it's easier to do it by this software (placed a link in my start menu) then pushing and holding and pushing again
Qoka thanks for the tool anyway!
Anyone that could give me tips for an soft reset cab?
I now use xdashutdown but on my TD2 the symbols are tiny.
I am looking for a cab with soft reset and power off in the same app,not just soft reset.
And yes,i have been searching,but find nothing.
Hi,
Try to search A-A Reset
BYE, Bobo
Have tried that,but in TF3D i can not see A-A Reset in the program list.
I must use file explorer to look it up.Even if i install the A-A reset cab...
I want something i can put in the program menu,so i can reach it fast.
wouldn't it be easier to just press and hlod the power button ? It closes the phone and when you press it again, there you have it : a soft reset. (only one button, and no installation needed)
It's a .exe no .cab.
Look:

It 'true, but the virtual button preserves the hardware key, especially for those who make frequent soft reset.
And also you can schedule
Because my cooking activities I've to soft-reset lot.
One of the first programs I put in a ROM is ClearTemp.
Has a option to soft-reset.

forgot where i got this, but it is here from xda developers... but this is the best so far... real credit to whoever made this, sorry I forgot the creator hehehe.. I am just passing this must have app to you guys...
what I do, is change the right soft key of TF3D2 from camera to Shut Down using some registry tweak, so I can shut down real fast without using the hardware power button...
cheers
I use My Soft-reset and it works well on D2.
HD Tweak comes with a separate app 'HD Soft Reset'. It appears in your programs and can therefore be saved as a shortcut in Start/Programs separate from HD Tweak. I use it, and it works fine! Just another idea to add to those above.

I use wei's soft softreset (freeware)

does work fine, I hate the ugly button... (= small blown up button)
- empty - sorry!
Hi,
Ive installed a number of 'Touch X' files etc etc to my Leo and its messed up my front page on HTC sense, i cant access the menu, change any quicklinks and the callender is slightly hiding the weather. I've tried uninstalling the files but a lot of them say 'cannot uninstall' or 'not uninstalled completely' etc.
Is there a way to restore HTC Sense to how it was originally?n Thanks in advance!
Try disabling Touch Sense in the Today settings, and try uninstalling then.
There are some files you can delete as well which remove the configuration, but without taking the TouchX files out first, it probably won't work.
thank you, il give that a go
it still gives the message that the file "was not completely removed"
any other suggestions?
check this thread for the original manila files as backup (also X Touch):

sure man
there is a way to hard restart your phone which delete ALL personal data and return your phone in factory defaults conditions
check here xda-developers > Leo, HTC HD2 > HD2 General
at the first Post [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* - Things you may not have known. Updated 7th January.
look for the tip Number 15
15. How to Hard Reset your Phone
To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:
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.
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.
