Can't Hard Reset on XDA Orbit 2 - General Questions and Answers

My mobile became unresponsive about a day after installing Shell Mobile. I tried a soft reset as I have done many times before but my mobile froze on the Windows Mobile screen. It eventually suggested I do a hard reset by pressing the SEND button. I pressed the green telephone button ( I think this is the SEND button) but it did nothing and is still stuck on the Windows Mobile screen. The manual only tells you how to do a hard reset using the start menu and the ok/close button but as I can't get to the menus I'm not sure what else to try.

Please ignore this post. I was being stupid and I've managed to work out how to hard reset.

ahh, the search option. such a perfect feature

help xda stuck
hi there i am having the same problem... how did u sort it? please help... i cant seem to hard reset at all...

MDA Compact II/ Charmer won't reset

Hi
We got a MDA Compact II for testing at work. Worked fine, but now the device is dead slow and needs ages to start. Soft reset didnt help and the main problem is we cant get the hard reset to work. From the manual it should be the Stand By Button + Reset Button pressed. But only thing that happens is that the screen goes black, nothing else. tried to hold it for longer time but no luck. It wont hard reset. We installed Mcaffee antivirus on it, it said it was the WM5 version but the uninstaller uses unload.exe which is not WM5 conform. Cant it lock the Hard Reset??
Anybody has a clue??
Thanks
Sascha

Hard reset on the MDA Compact II / HTC Charmer:
Press and hold both buttons on the left hand side (camera and record).
Use stylus to depress reset button.
Release reset button - keep holding the two side buttons for a count of 4 or 5.
Press the green phone button (Send) to format the phone.
Thanks. So the manual of t-mobile is wrong

How To Hard Reset Polaris?

How can I hard reset Polaris?
Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and press reset with sylus!
Or use Clear Storage in Setting System.
Problem
Hi, My polaris is crazy, I notice some problems in the way the system is working, contact problems, weather home plugin, always trying to get information, problems with instaling programs, and now I can not enter in bootloader or make a hard reset, when I try it I see the tri color screen but disaper in less a second.
Any idea?
thanks
Did you ever read the manual that came by your device.
They have a troubleshooting section too.
You could also give more specific info on :
- contact problems
- weather home plugin
- always trying to get information
- problems with instaling programs
That would really help us to figure out if you are the one that are doing things not the right way or if it is your device that malfunctions.
PS: don't feel attacked by this post, it's only for making you understand that when you provide little info, we can't really help on the problem.
solved
Problem solved guys,
Don´t fell atacked I undersyand you,
Yes the device was not working good, so I make a Hard Reset, and now everything is ok.
Thanks
Resets Not working
I cannot do a Soft Reset or a Hard Reset on the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)
Individually,
Pressing the camera key on the right side does not work, throws an error message - Unable to initialize Camera. Failed to set up the camera device
When I use the Stylus to do a Soft Reset, nothing happens.
Pressing Messaging/GPS + Internet buttons and Soft Rest = No Result.
Any other ways to do a soft/hard reset? Is clear storage ok to do a hard reset, and with a cooked ROM. Thanks for the answer
sraaj, the same problem for me. Did you solve the problem?
Thanks!!! Press and hold the Explorer and GPS button (under the phone buttons), and at the same time press reset with the pen worked perfectly for me. I recovered the phone after I broke it when installing a game.
Thanks,I can hard reset naw

Xda Orbit 2 Locking up on startup after puttoing some software on.

Hi all,
I'm in desperate need of help. I put some Htc Home 2.1 software on my o2 Xda orbit 2 by mistake thinking it was some other piece of software.
Now my phone just locks up and hangs at the Windows mobile 6.1 green booting screen.
The htc software was just some theme type software for the home page, and i have not made any firmware changes since upgrading to 6.1 ages ago.
I've tried holding in the power button whilst pressing the soft reset button, but it doesn't seem to help.
Has anyone got any idea's as i'm desperate.
Rich.
if you cant get it to work then you may need to hard reset it...
To do this hold down the ok and windows button and reset the device at the bottom of it. All the time holding down the buttons then it will ask you i think press the power button to hard reset
NOTE: This will delete everything off your device and remove the sd card before just in case.

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.

P3300 stuck on hard reset screen..

Hey fellas, My phone (HTC P3300) is stuck on the warning screen it shows when performing hard reset.. (This operation will delete all your personal data, and... )
It does not respond to any keystroke.. I've taken the battery out and then plugged in again.. but it shows the same thing over again..
I did not try to perform any hard reset btw... put it in my pocket and then took out after a while to make a call and it's same since then.. I don't suppose there was anything in my pocket that could have pressed the soft keys and then push the reset button.. Can this be a hardware problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance..

Yeah the problem could relate to your hardware.
What happens exactly when booting your device?
It just displays the same screen over..
So no boot screen, just when you boot, it goes directlly in that hardreset mode?
When this text appears, just press the Attend Call Button, colored Green. Hope this will help you.
Thanks
yes it takes me directly to the confirmation screen..
and the phone's not responding to any keystrokes either..
Have you tried performing a hard-reset?
If not, try it.
If so, can you go into bootloader or doesn't that keystroke work either?
Thanks.. Yes, I tried doing a hard reset.. It's the same again..
How do I go into the bootloader?
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset – you should then enter bootloader mode.
Then, connect to your PC and flash a new ROM. Go to the Artemis section to find out more.
I couldn't enter the bootloader mode.. but I got it repaired... turns out there was some problem with the keypad.. :|
But thanks for your help guys.. much appreciated.
No problem, good to hear that your problem is solved.
