Please be patient, I am new to this. I recently upgraded Rom from HTC site. Upgrade was successful, but as I began downloading software that I had backed up via SPRITE, the device became unresponsive after a soft reset. Nothing appears on Today screen, and no buttons will work. I have soft reset several times, removed battery, etc. Can't do Hard reset without button function. What to do?
Tilt is responsive again
Found the solution for hard resetting when screen/keys are not working. Hold down left and right soft keys while soft resetting...press talk/send. I know most of you probably knew this, but I was in a panic. I hope I haven't broken any rules.

Hello mates, I got my atom last week and since then it gets stuck and hangs for some time until it loads again whenever I hit the reset button.
Even hard reset doesn't help and either not taking the battery out...just need to hit the reset again and again until it comes back on...
I'm currently running the leaked ROM 20062017B1WWE
just to mention the issue started even with the older ROM installed.
Please help!
Hi.
Where did you get this ROM?
I'm looking for this rom WWE_R060221N do you have it?
Your rom is older or newer then WWE_R060221N?
Can you place in Emule so I can download?
Thank YOu
Re.
Hi there. I have a similar problem with my Atom (leaked ROM of course). Somehow, hitting SR button just leaves the initial screen with O2 logo hanging. You have to hit SR button several times or take out battery to make Atom boot. But, SR with O2 plus application works OK. Actually, it may get worse after awile and even taking out battery may not help to boot Atom. I had to re-run ROM upgrading to make my Atom boot after SR, but still hitting SR button makes Atom freeze.
Seems like we've got the same
problem mate....I really think that's a hardware problem because I tried to do everything and it still get stuck and hangs on the startup screen after a soft reset is performed. Anyways I'm gonna take my Atom back to the place I've bought it so they can check it and hopefully change it to a brand new one (thats what I hope so...)
Let me know how did you handle with your own problem.
You sure you aren't too impatient? With my Atom it takes around one minute to soft reset. It has XCPUScalar installed, I'm suspecting that this is part of the reason. The O2 logo stays on for maybe 20 seconds, then the WM5 screen for 20 and finally the Scalar stays on for at least the same before I can punch in my pin code.
Re
Thanks for your response..
I don't think I'm impatient as you said because I keep waiting for the Atom to load for at least 2-3 mins after the SR button is pressed, once I even tried leaving it hangs on the o2 screen for a whole night and it was still stuck...anyways I really don't know what to do.
Any other comments would be appreciated.
Cheers.
P.S
I never installed XCPUScalar on this device and never touched the overclocking settings.
Then I would say harware problem, yes.
I have the same problem since I bought it. I resolved in this way:
If you want to soft reset your unit press on/off button and softreset at the same time, you will see the option for hard reset but don't affraid just leave it in this option don't press anything and your atom will soft reset itself with no problems.
hi eljure, i tried your suggest and it worked on the first time i pressed the power button + soft reset button together, but then again it got stuck and hang on the o2 screen after the 2nd try.....anyways i had to wait again for like almost 1 hour until it loeded up again and that after all the resets i've done while i was waiting for it to load, only a hard reset worked after that.
so I really don't know what the problem is but it's freaking me out.
the store I bought it from said only next week they gonna get a new stock of the Atom so i'm stuck with it until then.
I have similar problem..maybe the same..the phone just hangs at O2 logo. I tried to press and hold power button and press reset button then it asks to press send and end button reset to factory factory default..after I press both button, it says device clean boot...reset to factory default!!..how long do i have to wait for it to set to factory default? or which way is the right way to hard reset? Anyone knows how to repair this problem, please help

I have a similar problem where my O2 Atom will just switch off (go black) when I press the Soft Reset.
I do not get the O2 splash screen, and there is no response from any buttons or the power button. Even depressing the SR again does nothing. I have to remove and replace the battery to bring the unit back to life.
This has been happening since the phone was new (7 days ago).
ROM 20060123B1WWE.
Cheers,
Freedy.
I have the same trouble.
Hardware bug, obviously.
I started haveing issue with the device last night, the phone app was locking the phone up, i tried restoring from my sprite, but it didnt work.
I got it to a point where it workied, but for some reason it lost all my contacts and email settings.
Well I said screw it, ill just hard reset and start from scratch, after a soft reset, it hung on the "Touch Pro" screen withthe red text at the bottom, then just sits there.
If I hard boot it does the same thing.
any ideas?
go into bootloader and then flash a new ROM there.
Hold Volume down and reset. You will go to bootloader. Plug in USB and flash from there. No need to sd flash.
it will not go past the touch pro screen, still sitting like that now. I cannot even turn it off, just reset it and get back to the same spot.
did you take out the battery for a time? but you do that on your own risk... for me that doesnt sound good ...

Yep, the best I have been able to get is plugging the phone in and getting it to constantly reset itself.
BRICKED!
New ohone in the mail, hope to have it tomorrow,
Now, do I use my old sprite back up from a week or so ago, or start from scratch?
BD
best is to begin new, but for me that would take 1,5 days cause i know nothinh about UC; thats why i restore my spb backup... with differen Romeos version i had never problems ... take the rom upgrade mode...
Greetz
Boris
Once I get to the bootloader screen, how do I flash the rom?
What is the latest stock rom and what is best link to download?
I finally got to the hard reset warning screen. It says press "send" to reset. Everywhere else (including manual) it says to press "volume up". Anway, I pressed and released "send" but nothing happens. It seems frozen on teh warning screen. Or does it take a few minutes to hard reset.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Did you tried the method with settings => system => "Speicher löschen" ( in german; "eraze memory" or something like that in english) => input 1234??

Boris
I sent mine back, it did nothing.
hard reset
i had to hard reset my htc touch pro as well because i unistalled a program and it wiped out like half the stock programs. this is what i did....
1). make sure you back everything up that you have on your phone.
2). shut off your phone
3). hold the volume down button and the enter button at the same time. (enter button is the big cirle center button)
4). while holding those two buttons in, press and hold the power button on the top until the popup appears on the screen. then just follow the steps and your phone should be like brand new again!!
Funny thing I did it the first time and it worked like a charm. But now i'm having trouble in doing it again?? any suggestions?? anyone???
I'm not sure how many people, if any, have experience with this phone, but I'm taking a shot in the dark because I am completely out of options here. The phone is similar to the Cect M88, and the other Cect iPhone-clones available, although I'm not sure how similar the button layout is.
I installed PCM Keyboard last night, and all was working fine until this afternoon, when all of a sudden, my phone wouldn't wake up. I ended up having to pull the battery in order to get it to restart, but then it wouldn't boot past the Windows Mobile screen (the first one - didn't even make it to the second screen).
After several attempts to hard reset (top volume button + camera button + power button), I was able to get it reset, but even though active sync was running, folders weren't showing up properly on the phone itself. I did a soft reset, and folders then showed up, but this time active sync wouldn't load on the phone. Several more soft resets did nothing, but I kept trying, and finally... the phone froze up again to the point where it hung on the Windows Mobile screen again. Now, despite all attempts, I can't even get it to hard reset. When I push all buttons from an off state, the screen will turn blue (which seems to indicate some kind of resetting is going on since it normally goes straight to the WM screen) and then a few seconds later, the Windows Mobile screen will come up and hang. I've tried every combination of buttons possible, and I've tried hard resetting probably a good 20-30 times since this happened. I've removed the SIM card, removed the SD card... I've basically tried hard resetting seemingly every way possible, and yet it still will not reset and load up WM 6.0 pro like it should.
Any ideas on how I can get this thing to at least move past the WM screen? If I'm totally unable to hard reset, what would be the next best course of action? Since this is an off-brand phone with no support or any kind of warranty, are there repair places out there that can restore the OS? Is that something I can do myself? (Phone didn't come with any software or anything.) I'm at a loss here... I really don't want to end up with a $200 blue flashlight/paperweight. I know I took my chances when I bought it, but well... this stinks.
worked
hey man i know its old and hopefully you still have your phone.. ok what you need to do is let the phone die completely so you may have to keep the blue screen on and keep turning it on till your phone does this like you i have hard reseted serveral time to no avail but when the phone died i took out the battery plugged it in to the wall charger placed the battery in the phone let the red led light by the camera light up then i turned it on and before the screen could show the splash i did the hard reset phone is aye ok !! hope this helps man.. your post helped me..

Hard Keys Not Working
So, I searched and searched, but couldn't find anything that addressed my issue, so here goes...
Yesterday out of nowhere, the hard keys on my ATT Fuze just stopped working (Home, back, call, and hang up). Also, when I press my volume rocker it not only causes the volume screen to fluctuate wildly and not really do anything (but make lots of noise), it also makes the battery screen and the camera program open...
I've done a hard reset, a soft reset, and I have reflashed my old ROM (RRE21725 V3) and just flashed a new ROM (RRE21725 V5). Doesn't matter what I do, the hard keys still won't work and every time I reboot, the volume window opens and flashes a lot, the camera program opens, and the battery page pops up.
I'm going crazy and am finding my phone a bit unusable.
This hasn't happened up until late yesterday. I've never dropped my phone or gotten it wet. I just purchased it back in March.
Help, if anyone can.
hello, sound like the phone itself, i sent mine back about 3 weeks ago, same problem. you can try and flash the att rom, new one is posted on htc's web site and see if that works.
lupe
Installed anything recently?
have you tried a reset (soft/hard)?
Put a new screen protector on recently? (might be activating screen elements.)
Hi. I flashed my Blackstone with no problem using this tut:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
I flashed it using HSPL with pdaviet rom (wm 6.5, manila 2.6) and then new radio (1.14 AFAIR)
The thing is, in this tutorial it says:
Code:
(HSPL4d) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
The thing is, I thought yanking the battery out can be done in the place of hard reset! So I just turned off my Blackstone after flashing, then turned on, and when in the "smart Mobility" screen, I removed the battery. I then repeat it once more.
So, the phone seems to be working really nice, but it's kinda sluggish - I tried gfxboost and driverpack beta2, and no changes. So I thought it could've been working better if I have hard-resetted it after flashing in the first place So, what do you think? Will re-flashing with the same rom and then hard-resetting make any performance difference?
And about the problem I have - I followed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puL795s1bY4
But am totally unable to get into this hard reset screen. My phone simply loads and displays "smart mobility" screen, as if the volume buttons weren't pushed. And I am sure both of these buttons work! I have tried this multiple times, but to no avail. Can you help?
PS.: Ok, I get it. The way I did it is different than what the instruction states - I pressed VolUp,VolDown and then pressed Power repeatedly many times until I saw the hard reset screen. So, I ask once again - is it worth to flash once again? It doesn't work that bad. Definitely now slower when it was on stock rom, and much better than my friend's Omnia....
