Hey Folks,
I've searched all over for an answer to this, and either I'm using the wrong search terms, or what, but I'm not finding the answer.
After installing Dutty's Dutty's Hybrid Rom NO.4 Test RTM available Final, I can no longer do a hard reset of any kind, and the TyTN II will not charge from the wall charger anymore.
Anyone have any thoughts or any threads that I've missed? I simply cannot find a way to do a hard reset and I don't like not having that capability. Similarly, the power problem is a a real issue, I don't know that I'll always have the laptop handy to recharge it.
Thoughts, ideas, links?
Thanks!
You can always do a hard reset from the system menu.
Start --> Settings --> System tab --> Clear Storage
Also, to hard reset using hardware, hold down the Left + Right softkeys and soft reset. Then release the softkeys, and you should get a prompt to confirm the hard reset with the green Send button.
In the future, if you cannot find your answer in the forums, try checking the Kaiser Wiki located here.

Exactly. The point was that this process no longer works after firing up Dutty's ROM.

Now that I know it exists, I will.
I'm sure it came up somewhere else as well. And I waded through them. D'oh!!
I found that I can only hard reset at the crossbow (green screen) of a soft reset. Works every time for me as follows:
1. Soft reset
2. After soft reset hold down the soft keys
3. When green screen boots up depress the soft reset button again while holding the soft keys.

How do you do a hard reset? it doesnt seem to be working for me :S
Hi gunblade45,
Please see below...
How to make a PROPER Hard Reset?
Method 1:
Press Camm & Comm button simultaniously. Keep them pressed.
Punch the little hole at the bottom with the stylus for a second or two.
Release the stylus (keep the buttons pressed!)
A white text-message appears on a black screen, telling you to press the send button
press the green button(the one you press to make a call).
Now, release the Camm & Comm buttons
The message on the screen tells you some more about formatting.
Release every button, you are done!
The OS has been reinstalled on your phone (it's like formatting your hard drive and install a new Windows).
Method 2:
Open "Today => Settings => Clear Storage"
Enter "1234" as instructed
Hit "YES" in the bottom-bar
Thanks a bunch! Worked for me
I did the Hard-SPL and followed the instructions to a T. The phone rebooted after the hards-spl and everything worked fine. I installed BlackBerry Connect to my device and it rebooted. Now it just sits at the windows mobile screen and won't proceed any farther. Anybody have an idea why? Or what I can do to get it working again? I did the HardSPL using windows XP and not vista.
When I enter the bootload this is what I get.
KAIS*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
Serial
Please help.
Anybody have any ideas?
Go to the wiki and look up how to flash from a microSD card, then flash a clean copy of whatever rom you had put on there so you can get a fresh start. Unless something is physically broken with the phone, that will save it. Saved me plenty of times.
Just had to do a hard reset. Fixed the problem. Loaded new HTC ROM everything is up and running.
How did you do the hard reset? I can't even get it to work. (hold right & left soft keys and press/release reset until some screen I never get)

continue holding the left/right soft key after you put the stylus to reset, and the extra screen will show up.

i held the cam.+ power button and held the reset button and its doin the same thing it does when i soft reset it
all 3 actions must be at the same time and hold for 5 secs. if you get the short vibrate, just keep trying over and over. it wont hurt anything. at least it never did to mine.
Yep, you cannot install the BB connect software to the SD card & then reset. Your device will be looking for the BB connect software before the device SD card has booted & come online.
HOWEVER,
with SK Tools you can go into the startup folder & reorder the start up files. If you move BB Connect down to the end of the start up sequence it might work. Well, it did for me. Ylu have to go in after installing though, & before the reset & change the start up sequence down so that it's the last item to auto start.
You will have this type of problem with any program you install to the SD card where the program has a higher priority auto start because as I said before, you have an item trying to boot before it's operating files are available. Therefore, you stop the whole boot sequence because it can't move on to the next start up item without finding the start item it's looking for.
AS for the Hard reset. I find the easiest way to do this is:
1. Soft Reset.
2. while the device is soft resetting depress both soft keys.
3. When you get to the first boot screen depress the soft reset key & hold while simultaneously holding the soft keys.
4. follow the instructions on the screen, i.e. push send (green phone button) to restore, etc...
Works every time for me.

This is not random!
When I press:
RightSoft + LeftSoft it always works.
LeftSoft + RightSoft it never works.
Sequence is important. Not sure if it is left or right first though.
If other can confirm, could someone put it in the wiki, please. I've pulled a lot of hair over this topic.

that is to enter BootLoader NOT to start a Hard reset. when holding the power AND the camera button then resetting using the stlyus you should see the tri-color screen listing your SPL, Kaiser model, and one more thing i forget right now
EDIT - Make sure you are not pressing the ok button while going into BootLoader as the way the buttons are laied out its easy to press the ok by mistake.
To flash then Hard reset then start setting up the ROM, or just flash and start setting up your phone.
What is the point of the hard reset after a flash of ROM?
Clean install. May just be my imagination, but I've had far better luck with ROMs when I hard reset after flashing...both other's cooked and mine - FWIW. Plus all the great chefs here seem to suggest it, which is enough for me.

I've taken the liberty of explaining the benefits of a hardreset after a flash.
Check my signature for the link called Things to do before and after a flash.

One the flash has completed and you get to screen that says “Tap the screen to begin to set up your windows-mobile device” perform a hard reset.
To do this press & hold your left and right soft keys. Those are the key that are just above the Internet and Message button and push you stylus into the reset button. Hold this for about 3-5 seconds. A screen will appear that says “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default or press other keys to cancel” If you want to continue hit the green call button.
Once the restore is complete press the green call button again and this will reboot your phone. If you want to cancel out of this press any other button.
This reason behind doing this is quite significant. If you do this you will have far less problems then if you do not do it. Trust me on this. This is a proven solution to a lot of problems that many users will face.
[size=+2]YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING TO ANY NEW ROM![/size]
Thank you very much alltheway. Great information.

How can I hard reset Polaris?
Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and press reset with sylus!
Or use Clear Storage in Setting System.
Problem
Hi, My polaris is crazy, I notice some problems in the way the system is working, contact problems, weather home plugin, always trying to get information, problems with instaling programs, and now I can not enter in bootloader or make a hard reset, when I try it I see the tri color screen but disaper in less a second.
Any idea?
thanks
Did you ever read the manual that came by your device.
They have a troubleshooting section too.
You could also give more specific info on :
- contact problems
- weather home plugin
- always trying to get information
- problems with instaling programs
That would really help us to figure out if you are the one that are doing things not the right way or if it is your device that malfunctions.
PS: don't feel attacked by this post, it's only for making you understand that when you provide little info, we can't really help on the problem.
solved
Problem solved guys,
Don´t fell atacked I undersyand you,
Yes the device was not working good, so I make a Hard Reset, and now everything is ok.
Thanks
Resets Not working
I cannot do a Soft Reset or a Hard Reset on the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)
Individually,
Pressing the camera key on the right side does not work, throws an error message - Unable to initialize Camera. Failed to set up the camera device
When I use the Stylus to do a Soft Reset, nothing happens.
Pressing Messaging/GPS + Internet buttons and Soft Rest = No Result.
Any other ways to do a soft/hard reset? Is clear storage ok to do a hard reset, and with a cooked ROM. Thanks for the answer
sraaj, the same problem for me. Did you solve the problem?
Thanks!!! Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and at the same time press reset with the pen worked perfectly for me. I recovered the phone after I broke it when installing a game.
Thanks,I can hard reset naw
The title says it all really. I've tried searching the forums by the way but couldn't get it to work.
I go into connection manager from the today screen and tap on the bluetooth to switch it on, the egg timer comes up for a few seconds as if it's trying to turn on, but then can't. Is this a regular issue? I can't find a self diagnosis tool on this machine, which I've had on all my previous Pocket PCs, is there one hidden away somewhere?
Many thanks for any help.
i think it's just broken. some kind of hardware failure. i got the same problem. have to send it in. :-(
Make a hard reset. I helped for me.
Right I'll try a hard reset if someone could just tell me how to do it. Many thanks.

First hit on google for "hard reset polaris": http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset.html
You might wanna put some effort in it yourself first, before asking.

Point taken, but the problem with your links' information and all the hard reset guides I initially found, is that the buttons referred to aren't the same as the Orbit 2. Even if you search for Orbit 2 reset info you get a page as you've linked about touch cruise.
Anyway found the info eventually but hard resetting didn't help the bluetooth problem, looks like I've got to send it back to O2. Sucks.
My colleague's Polaris has also gone RMA because of the same bluetooth problem. Hard reset didn't help either.
BTW, now that you know how to hard reset the Orbit2, maybe you can post it here to help others?
Hard resetting Orbit2
Good point. To hard reset the Orbit2 you just push and hold down the "OK" and the windows start menu buttons simultaneously and then press the recessed reset button once. Continue to hold the 2 buttons until the hard reset prompt screen appears then follow the instructions.
So, maybe this isn't the isolated problem they'd have me believe it is then. I've noticed that when the GPS is in use + bluetooth and maybe wifi, the unit gets very hot and I wonder whether this caused it to overheat.....
