hardreset is a reset which put the device back to rom default
all user changes are removed as well as user data
how it's don varies from device to device check the manual
with wm5/6 devices a real hardreser may reqire the user to pick clear registry hive and format storage from bootloader

hey
we spoke befor and u told me that my device is calld Elf remember
and im stuck in bootloader screen with ROM fialer
can i make the Hard Rest??

you can give it a bloody good go check the manual or XDA-wiki as to how you hardreset elf

well i just red the manual and i did the same (talk+end+rest)
and a black screen with these words come on
"This Operation will delete"................................................................................."press Action to restor and any key to cancel"
will where the hell is the action
becouse when i press any button it gave
Smart phone screen with a blue line in the bottom and flashs and i came back to the same problem no WM

action button is the name for the big button just under the screen

well i think its done but it gave me a white screen ,how long should it take to have Hardrest??

i would enter the bootloader again and try to clear the registry hive and format storage
otherwise i would flash a rom on the device again to rerive it

s200 touchscreen problem. rom issue?

Hi, I've received a damaged qtek s200, which has non-working touchscreen. I can only use the buttons on the bottom of the front side, which is not enough to even unlock it. From the facts I've gathered someone tried to change rom in it and damaged it. On boot it says:
IPL:2.09
SPL:2.09.0000
GSM:02.07.20
OS: 2.9.7.24
I have no experience with pdas. Please help.

first try hard reset by pressing camera button+comm manager button and reset the device keep holding the buttons down until you get the following message on the screen: "Press Send to restore factory default." At this point press Send (Green Phone). Warning this will erase all information, contacts etc. However data on the SD card will not be erased.
if the touchscreen is still not working, try to stick a softcard (business card) between the screen and the front panel because sometimes somthing like dust or dirt is puting pressure on the screen, or maybe you droped the phone and the front panel been twisted (even a little bit) and now it is pressing the screen.
if the touchscreen is still not working, try to flash a new rom to the phone by downloading it from here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
if all the above is not making the touchscreen to work, so probably it is a hardware problem, and you need to send it to repair.

Did you make a HR?
Remember, you'll erase all your data. Remove the SD card and Press and hold the camara and common manager buttons at the same time, then put the stylus into the hold close to the USB connection. Still hold the mentioned button, when a dark screen become, it going to said to restore, push the green button you used to answer a call.

Press and hold the red power button

First you will see Palm logo with progress bar
Then you will see circular Palm logo
When you see circular logo, release red button
Now you will be asked if you want to erase all data
Press UP to confirm
Now choose language when asked and phone will restart as new with no security code
good luck
Anyone that has a 650 with problems relating to reseting the device should check out http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj(887) which shows all the reset procedures for that device. The 650 even has a 'zero out' reset that can fix issues that the hard reset wont. It is also good to perform this reset (to completely wipe out/reset everything) if you were selling your device for instance.
How about PHT program?
I bought a Treo 650 and it has a Sw Called PHT First knowledge
It need a pass
I dont think it has a Os inside
And i cant upgrade as it dowsnt connect with pc

Kaiser Task 2a - Bricked?

Hopefully I will get attacked for being an idiot, but if anyone can help it would also be nice.
However fun playing with mtty.exe and task 2a was I believe I have bricked by TyTN II. I have read many things and tried everything I can find, so if someone has any ideas to get a bootloader back please let me know!
Hard Reset of course will not work.
Soft Reset of course will not work.
Installing ROM from SD card so far won't work because can not go into bootloader mode.
If someone has any ideas besides melt it down please let me know.
ID10T Comments also welcome
Thanks

Saying that "it doesn't work" will usually not help finding the exact problem.
What did you do, what does the phone displays now, does it display anything? if yes, what.
When you plug your phone on the PC does the PC seems something connected over USB, or is it just dead ?
Did you install HardSPL originally etc.
provide details !
Press simultaneily power+camera+stylus, if bootloader not appear you have bricked your Kaiser.
See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344555&highlight=Task+2a
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1720225&postcount=289
(sorry for my poor english)
More Details
Background:
I purchased an ATT unlocked phone from the US so I could use it in Japan where I live using the softbank AP and service. I already use an unlocked Hermes, so I thought it would be easy to install on the Kaiser with Chaimd's install files. I was able to get my boss's HTC to work, but not the ATT, so in order to provide Chaimd with the original CID I followed the instructions on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
Once I did all that it seemed to work fine with the new ROM; however when I ran "info 2" for Chaimd he did not recognize the CID, so I may not have completely uninstalled the SSPL_Kais. I just got curious playing with Mtty.exe and ran "task 2a" (Before I read don't do it on Kaiser) and had the following dump in the terminal window:
Cmd>task 2a
Format ALL start
backup SPL OK
backup MISC configuration OK
SPL start start block=288, total block of CE=1760
ERASE block 1275 FAIL !!!
Write 0xFF start page=0x4800, total page=0x1B800
SPL version and MFG TAG are same, skip it.
restore SPL OK
restore MISC configuratoin OK
restore MFG configuratoin OK
Format ALL end
Cmd>task 2
Observations:
- The Phone will not turn on or off with power button (no lights change)
- When reset only is pushed or held nothing happens (no lights)
- When Power is held then the soft reset is pressed the green light on the left turns on and remains solid green. (phone will not respond to power button and green light only goes off after reset is pushed again)
- Camera + Reset nothing happens (no change no lights)
- Soft Keys for Hard reset are pushed with reset button (nothing happens. No lights).
- Bootloader's three color screen does not ever appear.
- The Hard Erase screen options for factory reset never apear.
- When battery taken out for a period of time then above tried again, nothing changes.
- Once green light is on it will not turn off until the reset button is pressed
- when connected to the PC the PC does see it, but doesn't know what drivers to use.
Tested
- Installing ROM from an SD Card
- Reinstalling ROM from PC, but without Activ Sync I do not know how to install a new ROM as per the instructions in the various installers.
- I have assumed that without the bootloader working that nothing would work, but I have tried
I hope this enough details for someone to help me find the next steps.
Thanks

Thanks for the other postings. I do believe mine is the same as the First post.
At least the green light still lights up. Just seeing that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside

I think i posted in another thread that your phone is now in "Qualcomm Diagnostics Monitor" mode. Your SPL is no longer available and the phone falls back to this diag mode. There are drivers for this mode (i posted them somewhere) and certain diag actions can be performed with tools such as "PQST". However, to date there is no known way to flash it. It pretty much looks like u have a brick. The only way to recover is via JTAG. I'd say you better send it to HTC service.
Thanks
Thanks for your wonderfully unencouraging words jocky. At least I can stop reading and accept the "things I can not change..." Perhaps when I go to the states I can convince ATT to give me a new one - Who knows.
There are a few guys here who have jtag equipment and the necessary knowhow. I will have my own segger jtag in a couple of weeks. Drop me a PM maybe I can bring it back to life then.

After changing registry key it is not possible to start the device.

Hi,
I have changed the registry key to change the default keyboard input.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
After changing the registry key, I have restarted my mobile but it does not get start properly. It just shows the starting screen (only shows "Windows mobile" on screen). Please help me to solve the problem.
Mobile details :- HTC P3450
OS :- Windows moble 6.1
Thanks in advance,
Milind
looks like you need to hard-reset your device.
Please let me know how to hard reset the device.

That's guessing you have an Elf HTC P3450 if not the WIKI will hold the info
Not Working.
Even after resetting it just shows the "Windows Mobile" on screen.
Is there any other way to edit the registry entry.
No way to change registry without being in operating system, my next advise is to go to the WIKI i linked and find your stock ROM and flash.
After a hard reset (soft reset won't solve your issue) it will sit at the Windows Mobile screen for a while as it initializes the system for the first time, so wait 15 or so minutes, and it should get around to setting up your stylus and such.
Hi, this happend to me once screwing around with sip, to get block recognizer back in wm6.5, and the all thing freezed just like you. So do operate hard reset and be patient it will end up telling you you really messed up but will start from scratch after a while.
hcall,trowakage
After hard reset I have Kept the device on for whole night but still it shows the "Windows mobile" on screen.
stylez,
It is not possible to connect the phone to PC through active sync, so it is not possible to flush the ROM.
-Milind.
weird, I suppose you tried pulling out the battery and putting it back on? what keys do you press to hard reset? do you get a message saying you will loose all your data press action to continue?
Can you enter hardspl at all? if so you can flash your rom
To perform a hard reset
1.Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.2.Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Action to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3.Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
good luck
hcall,
I have tried it in the same way which you have mentioned.
In the same way shown in video
But unfortunately it doesn't show any message (hard reset might work after booting OS completely & in my case it is not possible, it just shows "Windows Mobile").
can you boot on hard spl at all?
hcall,
no.
power off...
press power button while the volume key is pressed down... that way you'll enter the tri-color boot screen... connect it to your computer and flash a good rom.
TheRem,
Not working.
Is there another way to reinstall OS.
-Milind
It seems there is no solution for this problem.
-Milind
bring it to the nearest HTC service center in your country.
Fiquei com a mesma dúvida.
