Please take some time to read through the wiki, as it says in the announcement "Read this before posting".
All the info you need is in the wiki.

Hold the centre button and volume down key and press the soft reset, (still holding the two buttons).
I see you're new. For simple things like this a simple search of the wiki and the forums first is advised (or even google). I searched "Hard Reset" and found the same question on the second page of the results, took literally seconds. Next time you might get a response a little less forgiving.
EDIT>> Just beat me to it mrvanx. I was feeling polite. I was there once myself.

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

Ran Flash-SPL and Unlock Radio - Pixelated Boot?

Hey guy,
Did I just brick my new Tilt? I downloaded the KaiserUnlock took with the nifty 3 steps button and ran the first two; after restarting from step 2 - after the AT&T bootscreen it's all just pixelated crap. It's obviously alive and active-sync's but I can't use it.
Can I recover from this?
Thanks!
Jeremy
Did you read the textbox that popped up on your screen before clicking the ok button? Because I think that will have your answer.
Ummm
The one that said are you sure? I can't do a hard reset because I can't read my screen to touch anything (and I think I need to for the hard reset?)
Ah Ha
OK, Apparently my fat fingers just had a hard time with the soft keys. Leave it to the fairer sex
Jeremy
Well..
ok the hard reset worked - it reloaded all the settings and then after it was done customizing everything it booted back up into pixel land?
Well
anyone? I'm frantic here

No. The one that said you may need to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 before continuing....
I'm assuming that you're using Olipro's kit. You really might want to read through that thread.
Thought about that
But I can't upgrade anything; it won't even active synch after the radio upgrade?
put your device in bootloader and flash from there
How do I force it into boot loader mode? Is there a keyboard combination?
Jeremy
why do you even jump straight into doing this without doing any research first??
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
look for kaiser resets, and whatever questions you have next, just read the upgrading section.
the straight answer
the straight answer is hold down power key and camera press reset button on bottom with stylus and hold to side keys till 3 graidents. plug in and upgrade to a windows mobile 6.1 rom. i did the same thing because i was rushing... sometimes you have to learn the hard way to read before you leap.
Heck I know that before I did anything that would have royally mucked up my $400 phone I wanted to make sure that I read everything I was going to do to it .... twice.
Bootloader
* Press and hold the Camera button
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears
From wiki
PS Sorry, I did not read until the end of the tread.
Press and hold the camera button, then push the stylus into the reset hole near the USB connecter, while still holding the camera button.
*edit* Oops, missed the fact there was a page two, bit late on the details there..

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.

Orbit 2 - can't turn bluetooth on

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.....

No screen?

Hi all,
Perhpas this has been answered before, but I couldn´t find any related thread.
My Rapahel is turned on but can´t see anything on the screen! is totally black.
I know it´s turned on because I can up or down the volume key and I hear the sound and feel the vibrate.
Yesterday was ok, nothing new installed but today I just pressed the power button and nothing!!
This happened me before on Universal, problem was that in some way the phone change itself the brightness to cero.
If I conect to wall charger nothing happens also, not any sign that device is charging.
But still can see something. Now on my Rapahel I cant see anything?
Any help would be much than apreciated please!!

Hard Reset the device:
This will wipe all the storage (not the sd card) and your device will be reset to default settings.
Hard reset (option 1)
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Continue pressing the RESET, VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
Hard reset (option 2)
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the ?TouchFlo3D Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings or goto Start and press Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Hard reset (option 3)
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. Turn device OFF.
3. While pressing the CENTER button, turn the phone on with the POWER button.
4. Continue pressing the CENTER button until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
This works on at least some Verizon CDMA phones on which option 1 will not work.
Hard reset (option 4)
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons, then press and hold the POWER button.
3. Continue pressing the POWER, VOLUME DOWN, and CENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel. (works with Alltel touch pro)

Ok this is out of the wiki, u see that all methods let u press the vol up button to really start the hard reset than. So on either method do the key presses, wait a while and then press the vol up to start the process.
Its a little try and error because u are not seeing the the actual message to press the vol up. but mybe thats worth to try until u get the point. I think option 3 is a good and easy one.
hopefully the hardreset works, maybe u can try to take a torch or bright sun light to get the display information, if the display itself is not broke u should see a slight shadow of what is written on the display. I had that problem with my wifes phone once and the information was the but its not a reflective display so it was very faint to see.
Finally tho, if all that fails:
RMA = Return merchandise authorization
It means a warrenty return.
It sounds to me like the lcd has croaked. If you dont have suitable warrenty / insurance i'd suggest ebay! i've just found a screen & digitiser for less than £25 (thats for a Raph 100, i honestly dont know if parts are the same on different raph models but i suspect they are)
Good luck!
Thanks a lot guys but nothing worked
I cant do any hard reset option but sound stills hearing perfect
I can understand why one day was perfect and next no screen!!
Can anyone confirm that the LCD Display+Touch Screen For HTC Touch Pro T7272 form the last link will work on my At&t version?
Any other advice?
Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear that nothing worked.
Not shure but if the phone fails to hard reset it is not only the screen that is broken ! Take this into account, do u still have warranty, maybe it is better so exchange the whole phone.
Well that is the problem
I live in other country so warranty is not valid here, and there is not a single place where I can take it to repair here
Very strange as one day was perfect ant the next day no screen!!
I took the battery out and then place it again, all works normal, it starts (vibrations feels) then nothing!, I know its turned on because I can move volume up or down and I hear the sound and vibration, if open the keyboard not any light turns on on it.
I´ll wait patient till some member can recomend more options in order to make it work again.
I´m so frustrated...
Thanks anyway for your kind help!

Dont give up, hope that I not get on ur nerves. But still I think a hard reset must be possible.
When u turn ur device of how do you do that ? When u turn it OFF with the power button you have to answer a question on the screen, u do not see the question but is the touchscreen working or how do you know where the YES/NO field is ??
So another way is take the batt out, and when u insert the batt than turn it on with one of the mentioned hardreset procedures.
There is than a question also but this is answered with the Volume UP button.
Maybe u need a second person for helping with the buttons,
The hardreset must be possible somehow, it cant be a broken touchpro
OK I tried with my phone and procedure 1.
VOL DOWN and CENTER with Phone ON
Then Push RESET with the Stylus and hold all three until:
After 5 seconds the Bootscreen showed, after that the message to press VOL UP for Restore.
You do not see the boot screen but just wait the time
You are so kind my friend!
I have tested all the hard reset options but none seems to work
Aparently I can´t do a hard reset
as every time I follow any process and wait 5 sec, then press vol up and it seems that nothing has happened, not even a soft reset!
Pressed center button and vol down, then press the rest button located behind the usb port (the one with a symbol for headphones....)
But nothing happens.
I´lll upload a small video with me doing the process, hope it helps in anyway
Here the link of the video I took with my problem
https://www.yousendit.com/download/ZW9DQ3QxeWFEbUx2Wmc9PQ
Hope this helps in any clue to solve my mysterious problem
Thanks a lot!!
Ok will wait for the video.
Inbetween another option, did u try to flash the ROM.
Can u get a rom to download from ur provider, to do so ?
After the flash the device more or less does a hardreset.
Update:
saw the video, it seems that the phone is not reacting to the center or the reset button. Because when u push reset, even if it is not in hardreset mode, it should do a soft reset right away.
But ur phone is straight reacting to the Vol keys, very strange.
Is the mentioned ROM update an option ??
What is the reaction when u hock the phone to the pc, is active sync working ?
Do you see the internal memory of the phone ?
Remove the SIM and any memory card, maybe they are causing trouble ?
Exactly, Raphael is not reacting to a hard reset and dont know why?
I´ll keep trying all methods.
Yes, I´ll try to reflash to the original AT&T ROM for Fuze tomorrow as today I am not close to a computer.
If you have any link for that mentioned ROM would be great, if not no problem I´ll find it.
Once again thanks a lot and I´ll keep looking this thread in case someone else have another recommendation
Cheers,

UPDTATE: I conected raphael to my computer and using pocket controller I can see that all is working ok inside but nothing on the screen, or keyboard lights.
I´ll try to hard reset now...
Hope this can help in order to solve my problem
Thanks
Attached the picture
UPDATE 2: I performed the wipe data from the device, this must be exactly as a hard reset I pressume, and nothing....
So now is there anything I can check to see if there is something loose in the connection from device to screen?
Any recommendations on how to do this?
signal from device working perfect simply does not come to screen or even to turn on light on keyboard
Any help is GREATLY apreciated!!!
What rom did you have? I had a similar problem and just had to rma it.
