Tilt not working...sitting at Windows Mobile Screen

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.

No Sound polaris xda orbit 2

ok..recently aquired this phone...
I've discovered that there is no sound from the speaker at all, no mp3 alarm ringtones .... I've used the slider on the side with no luck, and also tried changing the profile, volume control ect...no luck
Does anybody fancy talking me through any possible fixes for this...
Somebody suggested a hard reset?.... Any suggestions on doing this?...
Is this likely to be a software / registry change to fix this, or is it likely to be a case of sending it back for repair?... I'm sure its under warranty... but if its not, any suggestions on where I could take / send for repair?.... I'm in the Beckenham, bromley, south London region....
I have a basic understanding of pc's, but am not confident of doing registry changes without step - by - step instructions....
Anybody fancy a challenge?.... Thanx in advance...
PS.. just curious...any reason why this forum site is very simular layout to AV Forum site?....

Bump......

Try a Hard Reset first :
festermania said:
To perform a hard reset :
Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.
Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset."
To see bootloader page :
Hold power button + Camera button and push reset button with stylus wait 3 seconds and then release the reset button but keep pressing the power button + camera button u will be then in bootloader page

...did you go to Start Menu->Settings->Personal Tab->Sounds & Notifications to make sure that you've Enabled Sounds for Programs? a Hard-Reset certainly seems to be the option of choice here if nothing else is working. you can perform the Hard-Reset by selecting Start Menu->Settings->System Tab->Clear Storage and then follow the prompts to complete the process.

Nope...hard reset didnt work...just to say... I can hear through the earpeice when speaking in a phone conversation...just no other sound at all... even tried the option for beeps or clicks when using the keypad and still no sound... Also...that bootloader option...It just takes me to a screen with 4 different coloured stripes and some writing..I'll try it again and post what it says, but basicly it just freezes, then I have to do a soft reset to get the phone back on....

Bumpity bump....

Please remember that the Orbit II does NOT have these buttons!

Update...
I've done another hard reset using this method....
1) Get your stylus and place it in the hole next to the USB port, BUT DONT PUSH! Just get it ready but dont actually push the button inside the hole.
2)Place your fingers on the Windows and OK buttons
3)Press and hold the buttons, dont let go.
4)Stright away push the stylus into the hole and press the button inside. You can let go of the stylus once the button inside has been pushed
5)Keep holding onto the Windows and OK buttons
6)After 5 seconds let go of the Windows and OK buttons
7)If asked to press SEND, just press the green pickup call button.
....
And still no sound!....
Any ideas?

Yes that's the correct procedure, strange about that sound though.
What ROMs it running?

Any clue about what it might be?....

hang on I'll find out........

ROM Version. 1.25.206.3 WWE

Is that the latest Rom..Would it be worth updating if there is a newer version?....

Is that an official ROM or cooked?

I think its official...

you could have a hardware problem...i would have sent it back for a replacement 3-4 days ago!

I cant, bought it second hand. Will take it back for refund if I cant get it fixed...just thought it might be a common problem with a easy fix!...

i believe you've tried most options without any success. the only other options are to open it up and see if maybe the speaker has been dislodged. not sure how easy that would be. good luck!

OK.... thanx anyway!... Damned tiny little screws inside...cant get to the speaker... Ok...off to the shop it goes!

No sound
I had this problem on another HTC device 'the Kaiser' and was informed some specific Roms are not compatible with the radio on the device ( does your device have the original Rom? ) Flashing a new may have caused this problem.

Hard Resetting Omnia

Does anyone know how to reset a Samsung Omnia?
Mine's stuck at bootup and i cun press anything.
I need to know if there's a series of button presses b4 poking
with the stylus to hard reset the phone to factory settings.
Thx in advance.

Did you do anything to the phone, in terms of modification? I was really interested in that thing, but having to do a hard reset on a brand new phone is a little disconcerting...

I tried installed everything that i had on my touch cruise
and everything was working superb.
Then this morning i installed HTC Home Plugin v2.1
and that hung my phone after i restart.
Now i've got no way on getting pass bootup screen.

A google search of "hard reset omnia" yielded this.
http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handhelds/0,3800005395,39470096-43574745p,00.htm
26th June 2008: Was advised by the customer service rep (CSR) on the phone that the only way to solve my hanging issue is to bring to your Customer Service Center for a firmware software reinstallation.

How awfully true..
Just got back from the service centre at Plaza Singapura.
Yup. Upgrade of software was the way to go.
The lady did say that the hard reset was the same as HTC,
pressing of the call and end button thingy but mine couldn't work.
Anyway, it was silly of me to go install the HTC Home Plugin.
Thx anyway bros for all replies..
Omnia Rocks!!

turn your phone off, than press red and green buttons and after press phone on, you will get 2 options, 1 format: press phone on, 2 cancel: press phone off, in italy omnia this procedure is working.

It works man!!

Eureka!
Yes it does 2 x's now and one after a firmware update to version i900DXHK3/DXHK3 (Singapore). Which I did earlier today.
I had some how managed to put a pass I could not get right (how who knows).
After several attempts and finally an 8 min. mandatory wait. I did it. My final solution was that I had to wait and keep device awake for time to pass. 8 long agonizing minutes~!
1. Wait till reset timer is elapsed and devices is awake.
2. press both call and end button (ie green and red) I didn't press too light or hard just normal.
3. Push stylus on soft reset and within 5-8 secs eureka format screen.
4. hit call button.
This may not help every one but those with pass problems mab.

stuck on loading splash screen

Hi, first let me say im sorry if this has already been covered somewhere, i have spent all day searching the wiki and forum to no avail. If the solution is already here please point me in the direction and delete this thread.
I have just flashed my kaiser from the original vodafone WM6 ROM to Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700. At first everything seemed fine, then when i tried to restore the backup id created with sprite backup it restored, reset and now wont get past the loading screen. It shows the vodafone splash screen then duttys htc screen then goes back to vodafone.
I used Hardspl 3.29 before flashing. I tried hard reseting which made no difference. i cant get into the bootloader (tried the camera, power reset thing loads) and i cant connect to my pc as it wont go past the splash screen.
I had a look at MTTY but it doesnt give the options described in the instructions and after reading the warnings about MTTY decided i shouldnt mess around with what i dont understand.
Any help will be greatly apreciated, i love my phone and the idea that ive just broken it scares the crap out of me.
Thanks
Sandy

first, are you SURE you can't get into bootloader?
I know it sounds stupid, but try REALLY pushing the camera button in while pushing the stylus into the reset hole. Once you get to the bootloader (tri-color screen), try flashing a different ROM
good luck

I agree here a lot of people don't realize the Camera button is a two stage button. It stops at Half-Press then you can push again to get Full Press. You need a Full Press to get into bootloader.

Just to clarify.
Press and hold the camera button and at the same time insert stylus in reset hole and hold until bootloader comes up.
In other words, do not let up until bootloader shows. It should take around 2-3 seconds.

yea ive been doing that. After trying many times i have found that holding the camera button down for around 2 minutes after the htc dutty series screen comes up brings up a white screen with the error message;
"the device is unable to boot either because you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press send to reset or any other key to cancel"
The message dissapears if i let go of the camera button, and resets back to the vodafone screen and stays there. If i press the send button same thing happens (just an idiot check but the send button is the green pick up button right?) ive tryed the enter button and both soft keys but all to the same result. I have tried holding down each button on that screen as well and the error message stays as long as i hold the button but when i let go it just goes back to the vodafone splash screen and stays there.
I have tried holding the stylus with the camera button all the way through to this error message, doesnt seem to make a difference.
just to clarify, ive done what you suggest and still cant get into the bootloader.
Thanks for any help, this is driving me mad.

hold the camera button and use the stylus to press the reset button, and continue holding the camera button until the bootloader screen pops up.
i used to let go the camera button as soon as the screen go black, but then it just reset the device instead of going into the bootloader...

oh forgot to mention. Shotly after the dutty series screen comes up i get the window appearing sound but nothing comes on screen. suggests to me that maybe its trying to tell me whatswrong but i can see what it is. maybe, i dunno..

Im holding the camera button for around 2 minutes before it does anything, then i get the above error message.

Do you have a storage card installed?

yes. tried taking it out and doing the same thing. no different.
anything else i could try?

OK But are you also holding your stylus in the Reset Hole?
If yes, And you can't get into Bootloader, well I think you are "boned"

Yes im doing that. Boned? really? What about the error message that eventually comes up? isnt there anything i can do from there? Any other way of reseting it so maybe the bootloader works?
And if its really broken, do you recon my network will send me another or have i just properly voided the warranty?

Noob in dire need of quick help :)

Hey guys!
I just finished flashing the Energy (SENSE 2.1/Titanium build 21898) rom using mskip's guide and got to this step:
5. Once phone finishes flashing and gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER (center) Buttons, press the RESET button with the stylus tip, then release the RESET button but continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until the reset screen appears)
>> I am currently on the align screen. Trying to do a HARD RESET on my HTC fuze isn't working at this point... and i've went far lengths to make sure i'm sequencing my presses correctly.
What should I do? Continue and align? or take out the battery (can't shut down any other way) and try turning on the phone using the HARD RESET?

Moved as not ROM Development.

ok pal. just to let you know they are super strict on the the forums here! lol
but hard reseting is not even necessary.. some people say it increases performance blah blah blah. i see no diffrence. so continue calibrating the scrren and enjoy the coolest rom for tp ever! nrg! yaya

You need to hold down both vol-down and the dpad button and while holding them down do a soft reset with the slylus. Don't release the first two buttons until the tri-color screen appears. Definitely do the HR.

OP,
Follow Farmer Ted's advice a HR should be performed as when you flash a ROM it isn't always written correctly to nand and you will notice half the people posting questions in ROM threads after a flash a HR sorts it, i notice this a lot since cook same as Farmer Ted
