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???

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

Folks,
Did anyone experience that if you set the "Error Report" to 'enable' and do a soft reset, or simply turn the device off and then on again, then it goes back to the 'disable' state?
I have also noticed something awkward with the app I use the most: MagiCall from Mobiion. For some reason, after either a soft reset or turning off the phone, when it comes back, I have to re-enter the license key.
It never happened on my any of my previous WM6 devices (Elf, Niki and Tytn II). It does not happen with my wife's Excalibur either.
TIA,
-Feaps
MagiCall stores registration information in HKEY_CURRENT_USER key.
It looks like your device does not implement Power-Down Flush. Here is a small tool to help you flush HKCU key to persistent storage.
Cool
Thanks a bunch. I could not stand using my phone without MagiCall!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank You !!!!!!!:d
Hi,
I have updated to the offical rom 6.1. I have reinstalled all my data and programas and I have applied the performance tweaks, including disabling the large start menu.
However, I have realised that when I put the device to sleep, and wake it up again, there it is, the large start menu is back. If I look in configuration, I see that the checkbox is not checked. I can check it, uncheck it again, reboot, and the large start menu is gone... until the device is put to sleep and waken up again.
¿Any idea in how to disable it in a permanent way?
At the begining I thought that I had provoked this failuere by installing "QuickMenu" without having uninstalled "large start menu". I have unistalled "QuickMenu", but I go on having the same problem.
Any idea would be appreciated, I am kind of desperate.
Thankyou very much.
Well, I have finally been able to do it. Apart from disabling "Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Large Start Menu", I have found another option in the programs menu "Large Title Bar". Now, by also disabling it, the large start menu is gone.
What puzzles me is why by only using the first option, the large start menu was gone until the device was locked and put to sleep, and when it was waken up and unlocked, the menu was back.
At least now it is gone, but this doesn't make me feel I have a very realiable device. It seems, I won't have to hard reset in order to try to get it fixed. It is a real pain install everything again.
I know it is my fault, I was using the Advanced Configuration Tool and thought I could make the screen on the x7510 more sensitive. The result was the opposite and the screen now won't respond to taps at all. So no possibility of screen input.
Without that, I can't use the same tool to put the settings back to what they were before, as it requires a screen tap to commit changes before re-booting. The absence of soft keys on the keyboard makes for problems here.
For the same reason, I can't hard reset using the Clear Storage tool, as that also requires a screen tap. I can't use Resco Registry Editor as that requires screen taps too.
So I am in somewhat of a quandary, happy to hard reset and start again, but no way of doing it that I can see.
Could I re-load the ROM? Someone uploaded the WWE version, but it unzips to three .raw files, which I have no idea what to do with.
Help please!! I need this as I am on holiday, I may be slow coming back to any replies, we are in Laos, where comms are, shall we say, a little slow, and we are travelling about. the first chance i get to sort this out I will use though.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

If you have access to a PC onto which you may install software, then you can download and install MyMobiler, which is freeware. Get it here: www.mymobiler.com.
This will allow you to control your device from the PC, using the mouse, so you'd be able to make the changes you need to make.
Good luck!

hi
To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
see wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Resets
but keep it in your mind that all your data (in rom) will be lose after hardreset
saied
thanks guys, just back from the Far East, appreciated your help and everything now restored.

For reference, I had this same problem yesterday. Didn't know of this thread at the time but managed to sort it out. It is completely possible to use the "clear storage" option in Settings>>System navigating using the keyboard. Fn>>OK brings up the start menu..navigate to settings using the cursor keys..press enter to select. Use TAB and cursor keys to navigate around across the tabs to "System" and again from there to "Clear Storage". Select whether to wipe the data stored on the device, on the flash disk or both using cursors/TAB, type "1234" and press the "OK" key. Done.
I had even managed to configure hardware buttons to the left/right soft keys to try to revert the settings in Advance Config, but it seems the effect of completely losing touch screen functionality is irreversible
Or you could obviously use the other method above which I didn't think to look for!! Like I said, just for reference. Might be useful to someone.
TIP: Don't change "Pressure Threshold" in Advanced Config to "Very High" as it will cause your touch screen to stop responding and the only way to get it back is by a hard reset.
Hey all, just got my TP2 and I'm really enjoying it. Its a hell of a lot nicer than the Titan and i760 that I've been swapping between the past two years. Quick question though:
Is there a command somewhere in WM6.1 that will allow me to soft-reset the device? I really don't want to wear out the plastic cover on the back by taking it on and off over and over again to press the reset button.
Thanks in advance,
Dustin
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe if you power it down with the red "end call" button and then power it back up with the same button it is equivalent to a soft reset. But if you are looking for a shortcut in windows to do that you can try the various task managers out there like pbar, wisbar lite, ect. They have soft reset options with a very small footprint on the memory.
You are correct. And technically speaking, using the power on/off commits all changes to memory.
I used SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 on my old phones that had a shortcut for it, but I wasn't sure if HTC had an equivalent. I'm really debating on switching back to SPB, but I hear that MS 3.0 isn't perfectly functional with the TP2 yet.
Thanks for your help!
Check this out. It gives you the option to soft reset on the norification when you hold down the power button. I like it.

Try ActionScreen
ActionScreen does this by popping up a selection screen when you hold down the power button for 3 seconds. There are many actions to choose from and one of them is Soft Reset. I've been running it for a few days and it seems to work fine and be unobtrusive.
ActionScreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547432
I think there is a option on the setting manual "wipe all memory" or something like that.
On mine, by holding down the "End Call" button for 3 or 4 seconds, I get a prompt with the following options.
Display Off
Turn Off
Soft Reset
Hard Reset (icon on upper right (a little scary))
Plus icons for
Device Lock Settings
Setting timer actions
Setting Today Icon for this prompt
The prompts displays as Touch Pro 2 Shut Down Option
I have quite a bit of 3rd party software, but I believe this is native to the device. Try it and see what happens.
I don't get those, but I am on a custom rom. I have:
Turn Airplane Mode On
Lock Device
Terminate Data Connection
Set Vibrate
Settings...
sorry double post.
As mentioned these are the two most common:
psSHUTXP and XDAshutdown.
I used XDAshutdown.

Hi,
i use a RNS named Blaupunkt New York 800. It´s running Windows CE 6. When i access the windows through a startscript i can´t run the Explorer.exe.
Also when i try to run any software where i have to set a directory there only shows up a white frame with nothing in it. No folders or files are shown.
Is there a chance to make the existing explorer.exe work?

If you tell me how you are able to "access windows through a script" I may be able to help you as I have a different brand that runs the same code as your system (your system is a re-branded advuv630). If you tell me how you are accessing it I can get it to work for you. I have a decrypted firmware for that system and its almost exactly the same as the advuv630. So I can probly use the same method you are using to access and get something working for you.
--thesh0ck
Edit: Its General and DVD-Rating on the advuv630, not general and bluetooth as I stated below. So try that first.
Go to settings menu, hit the following butons alterativly 6x (twelve total presses) General -> Blueooth -> General -> Bluetooth etc...
This will take to to the system menu.... where you can disable the requirement to have the parking brake on to watch movies and other things, I wouldnt change much other than that here.
This is what you want though:
You can also press time and volume in the same sequence and you will get right into the wince start menu screen with no hacks required. Its built into the unit.
If time and volume dont work, try all of the combinations (it will only take a few mins to try them all), one will work. Select two of the top row settings buttons and go back and forth hitting them 6x each till you find it.
Hope this helps. I just foind these two hidden options the other day....
Hi there, ho to disable the requirement to have the parking brake on to watch movies??? Is it on "brake override" menu?
