How to make hard reset on HTC Tornado using key combination?

Hi, All
I have HTC Tornado (Dopod 577W).
I have read topic about Hard Reset using "Clear Storage" app.
I am able to start Windows, can run Start menu, but I can't start any app from there. Therefore I can't run "Clear Storage" app.
Does anybody know how to make hard reset using buttons combination?
Thank you, prompt reply would be appreciated

Turn you phone off.
Press and hold the two softmeny buttons (those 2 placed to the left and right direct under the display) while you press on/off button for about 0.5 seconds. Make sure you still have the soft buttons pressed when release the on/off button.
After a few seconds a text will appear in the display telling you to press "0" (zero) to make an hard reset.
/Bladh

You should have seen the buttons presses needed to hard reset a HTC Wizard :lol: Had to hold 3 buttons while pressing the soft reset button :lol:
You could almost do it accidentally :lol:

Thanks to all
But probably I have very serious problem,
I tried to make soft-reset pressing 2 soft-buttons and shortly pressing Power, after that I saw black screen with message "press 0 ...". I pressed 0 but I saw just Operator Logo again (Dopod Enjoy Mobility). Device is hung again at Operator Logo
I tried several times but can't get success.
Does anybody know how to make it live again?
Thanks.

i'm using an imate SP5, i would just download the ROM from clubimate and flash the device.
Can you get a ROM updater from your telco's website ?

Thank you for your help.
There is no any update for Dopod. I have checked their site just week ago.
I have already found 2 another RUUs for HTC Tornado:
1. i-mate_SP5_RUS_1.5.332.1
2. Cingular 2125 Software Update
But I don't know if I may use them and not to harm my smartphone (I have Dopod 577W). Besides, these two updates are .exe-files and I need to install them via ActiveSync. But ActiveSync can't be enabled (because I can't load OS) therefore I unpacked them and I am going to load nk.nbf via TTY.
Will it work?

you can still install these updates through the bootloader. load up the 3color screen and as long as it says usb in the corner, the update package will find it and install without an activesync connection.

Thanks a lot Dave106!
It works! But it reports about bad vendor ID. As I know I need to change CID (CDL_xxxx).
Does anybody know CID for Dopod 577W?

Flashed with new ROM by mistake

Hi,
and this is not the right way to start a thread in a new forum
a few days ago i bought a used TytnII with english ROM and last night I decided to organize my phone with tools and programms and then a bad thing happened....
I accidentally flashed a ROM in my phone, the file was marked HTC_TYTNII_UPDATES. The file was installed without giving any warning about ROM or non-compatibility issues. After rebooting i get a message that i used illegal ROM and a DeviceLocked message. and the phone reboots.
Any hope to bring it back to normal?
Stergios

Was it a cab file you installed?
Or did you run the file from your computer while your phone was connected through activesync?

1. I don't think you flashed a rom.
2. There is no illegal rom.
3. Maybe it is a good idea to do a clean rom install on your Kaiser, especially since it is a SH device.
Either install cmonex' hard2 spl (3.29 for Kaiser or 3.56 for Tilt) and any rom of your choice, or flash the official rom for your device which will probably work with any spl you may have.

loooool
why do you hate your kaiser!
anyways, there is no way a rom got installed without you knowing stergiosKLM...you would get many steps to click on if you were installing a rom.
format the device...install hard spl (whatever kind except 1.0) and flash your custom rom

Your best bet is to do a hard reset. Go to start, settings, system, clear storage.
Write 1234 and press yes. It will start you from scratch. That should help.

anyway you could upload the file you installed so we could take a look at it

I am on trip right now but as soon as i get back I will send the file.
Thank you all

Problem update
my kaiser has eng version and the file i executed from my pc and installed in kaiser memory (not card), is a localization program from the Greek distributor of HTC that installs two programs, the first in the localization program and the second is a lock program.
After a hard reset (soft keys and reset key), i get the screen alignment, time and date etc, then i tap the screen to start using the device. and then ii installing the customization program.
the file is "HTC_TyTN_II-0.4.2.6GR-9.0.0.25.Installer.zip" and is a RUU_ExtendedPKG program....

Try hard reset by poking the soft reset hole and hold two softkey simultaniously...
look here for proper instruction to reset (kaiser wiki)...

Hard reset.

This is the best idea I read in the thread. Just think about if this poor person throught that he/she had flashed a rom. Why even send them though the confusion of (hard spl, and flashing a custom rom)when he/she has no idea on what they are doing anyway. Just hard reset your device and this will fix your issue plain and simple.

i already tried that. plus, i do not know how, the device booted, i uninstalled both programs, then did a reset and still it keeps autoruning the file.
Should i record a video so you get an idea of what is happening? How can i upload the file so someone can check it out?
BTW i am a he. 8)

You try to hard reset you phone?? I not talking about a soft reset. To perform a hard reset hold down to 2 line keys located between the send call and end call buttons and press and hold in the reset button with your stylist(this is located right next to the charge/usb port) til you see a white screen with blue writing and fellow the on screen instructions. I hope that this helps

i did that many times. all goes well up to the point where i get the message "setup is complete. tap the screen to begin using your device". I tap the screen and I get a windowed message "customization. It will automatically customize your device in 3 seconds" and the device shows a progress bar which says "Loading...." then "Loading AutoShortcut...." then "Installing...." after it finishes it reboots and it loads with the greek customization. as soon as it loads i get another windowed message which notes "DeviceLock. you have illegaly aquiered this ROM! This ROM is only for phones sold by ACE-Hellas and their distribution channel!" and after 3 seconds the device reboots and it keeps doing that.

The best solution is to go to HTC's website and download a new ROM/Radio directly from them. This will 100% fix your problem.
This should be what you need.... Pick one that matches your area/carrier

How to solve until you get home

Ok here's the deal. Do a hard reset and when it flashes to the customizing in 3 seconds button, do a soft reset by pushing in the reset button. That will stop customization from happening. Then you can use your phone, but will have to run connection manager to get your connection settings. This is the way to stop customization from running. It only runs one time after a hard reset.
When you get back off your trip, start with the thread mentioned above and work your way through the hardspl process and select a rom that you think has what you want then flash it.

thank you, i appreciate that. One last question for the proper rom, i have to match rom version and radio version only, right?
have a happy new year. thank you all again

HardSPL must be matched too, but you probably won't have any problems regarding this if you install HardSPL 3.29.

spl3.28.0000, it shows in the 3color screen, i d/l this file Kaiser-HardSPL-3.28.zip. I suppose is right.

That should work with most custom roms out there. If you have a freeze issue where the screen momentarily freezes, then you will need to flash a different hard spl. Most roms, tell you which hardspl and radio are compatible.

Absolutely death?

I tried some new ROMs (by Tomal, luca16thebig, VNInt...) and after upgraging to Cotulla latest version Uni crashed!
Now it only can boot in to hard reset mode (LEFT softkey + RIGHT softkey + RESET), no another activity. PC can't recognize device.
I tried to disable USB connection in ActiveSync and used Multi TTY/ExitBT. These tools couldn't connect to device (mtty says "\\.\WCEUSBSH001 port can not open").
(Uni in that moment was in hard reset mode)
How can i repair device?

Go into bootloader mode (on/off button, light button, and reset hole all at once) make sure your sd card is out, and try to flash again with cotulla rom! dont forget to read his instructions to go back to normal roms and allow time for rom to set up, dont hard reset after you flash!!!!
regards

Yep.
I move out SD (SDHC) and SIM cards.
Tried flash again - when PC program usually show previous version and new version right now it show empty fields. When it start to flash it show "Error 112: CE ROM UPDATE ERROR" message.

When my Uni is bricked I boot into the bootloader with the "Serial"-string. Then I put my SDHC out of the device and then it says "USB".
Every flash worked very well.

I can't force it to show "Serial"-string

Try this
Cotulla ROM is different.Memory allocation is different.
1.Remove SD card and always remove the SIM card.Very important.
2.First uncheck the 'allow USB connection' in active sync or WMDC[if VISTA].
Close active sync/WMDC in task manager.
3.Put Uni in BOOTLOADER.[Power+Backlight+Soft reset].
4.Run mtty.Click on USB.
5.Type 14 0 [ there is a single space between 14 and 0],press enter.
Wait ....
6.Type task 32 [there is a single space between task and 32],press enter
Wait....
7.Type task 28 55aa [ there is a single space between 28 and 55,and no space between 55 and aa],press enter
Wait...
8.When the desktop finishes the work..usually takes 5-10 seconds..close mtty.
9.Disconnect Uni...which is still in BOOTLOADER...
10.Go to active sync/WMDC and check 'allow USB connection'.
11.Flash with a WM5 ROM..I had KDSkamal's Ultimate ROM.
12.You should have got Uni back.
13.Then upgrade it to any ROM you want..6.0,6.1etc...if you want to.
Honestly speaking I don't know what the heck these procedures are,but if you do this STEP by STEP it works like a charm.
Cheers...waiting for your reply.

OK.
Now i know what to send Uni via mtty.
We have a solution to connect tools to device properly (mtty says "\\.\WCEUSBSH001 port can not open") after such crush?

Look (It can be shown only with USB connection):
http://picasaweb.google.ru/Maxim.Korobov/RepairOfHTCUniversal?feat=directlink
And nothing else

Well,at this stage,what happens when you press 0[zero]?
And can you please tell whether you can PUT the UNI in the BOOTLOADER by pressing POWER+BACKLIGHT+SOFT RESET simultaneously?
Because I have read almost all the threads regarding STUCK uni and I never came across one with a screen like yours.
On the second thought...press Backlight+Soft reset simultaneously...what do you see?

The image you are showing us is "Hard reset" what you want is bootloader. you get boot loader as we described above, once you have it in boot loader it is easy to get your uni back. In bootloader it will say serial or USB if it is plugged in at the top and V1.01 or V2.01 or something like those numbers at the bottom on a grey unlit screen.

Now,Forget mtty.
First PLEASE charge the battery 100%,use another unit if neccessary to charge.
You said When i press POWER+BACKLIGHT+SOFT RESET there is no any results. What this keystrokes mean? I didn't know it before
What do you mean by that.
1.You cannot enter the bootloader
or
2.You don't know what the bootloader is?
And did you uncheck usb connection in AS,remove SD and SIM during MTTY....just to be sure
And finally PLEASE read this thread...It is really helpful..though old.

Need advice and help

Hi all(be kind I am over 50 and a newbie)
I have been looking in these forums for some time while
I save up the cash for my S710.
Well I just got a Vodafone V1415 and I love it but I hate the vodafone
splash screens when you turn it on and there wall paper.
So I would like to flash my V1415 with a rom off here, my V1415 is not unlocked
and I understand by doing this it still wont be.
Could some kind person please put me right if what I need to do is wrong please.
1, I need to do what the guy says here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330909
2, Then flash the chosen rom I was thinking of this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414416
The kind gentelman says it is WM6.1?
would it have all the extras WM6.1 has over WM6.0?
if anyone thinks/advise me on a diffrent rom that would be nice
Thanks
deuse
PS thanks for a great site
EDIT= I have no storage card is this ok?

Hi.
I am also new to this kind of thing, but I'll try and explain it a bit better than it is there.....
Do a hard reset first, switch phone off, then while pressing and keeping pressed, the two soft keys (above 1+3 keys), switch on until promted, then press the green call key, and wait for it to finish.
1. Download and run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip from the computer, follow instructions until reboot.
2. Download Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip, once extracted run "uspl_116_jockyw", follow insructions, which is just pressing any key, until it asks if you want to run mitty or "RUU", and stop there.
3. You should have already downloaded WM6.1 CLEAN v1.4, and it is the "FLASH" program in that folder you need to run from the computer, follow instructions and you're done.
I've only just put the same on 5 mins, and wrote this while waiting for it to load.
Happy flashing!

Thank you very much I will try what you said now
Hope i dont make a mess of it

Well after a few trys it worked
The first time I got a linux screen and it would not flash?
2nd time I let the uspl_116_jockyw run till the end by pressing Y
it went to a multi color screen and flashed
I am very pleased with the result
thanks.

Windows Mobile 6.5 screen rotation problem

Hi everyone i have a simple problem\question that i hope someone could help.
When i rotate my screen i get a little UI bug, like a little square over the start menu button and i have to soft reset to make it disappear. This only happens when i rotate my screen (i'm using a hardware button for that).
Does anyone have a fix for this? It's very anoying.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to forums
It would be extremely helpful to know what HTC device you have

I'm a member for a while just never posted anything. I had a qtek s100 witch had the same problem.. one i-mate jasjar also with that problem, and now i have a ZTE Silverbelt witch isn't in this forum but it has wm6.5 so this forum still helpfull. All of them shared the same bug and i don't use the same applications i used when i had qtek's, so at least i think that the problem isn't app related.
Thanks

i think that this problem you have is result of bad flashing...etc . you made some mistakes during installing a rom...you can try to put that rom you have on mem.card and put card i phone ....( phone needs to be off,and without sim card.) press power butt and camera but and reset gumb with your styls...! you will receive 3 color display, and then it will say loading,then cheching ...and than finaly install by presing (just press power butt) after finish install press reset buton again...and thats it...! make sure to have proper rom radio..! rom installation is pretty much same as rom install...! i think i helped you...
