Hi all, i hope someone can help me out here.
i inadvertently installed "themechanger" onto my imate sp5, but this app was intended for my old imate sp2, the app installed no probs so i thought it might work.
but after installing it i can no longer access the start menu when i push the "start" button.
i am still able to make calls from the phonebook and recieve calls. i cannot dial a number anymore as when i start entering a number i get a blank screen and the numbers i enter don't show up.
i can still sms but only via the sms shortcut button.
i have no access to the start menu whatsoever.
i want to reinstall the rom, but when i attempt to, i get an error message saying "upgrade only, get newer version rom" i already have the latest rom from imate.
how can i reflash the rom?
Hard Reset
Hi Baskarz you can try a Hard Reset.
On a turned off device press simultaneously both softkeys and then the power button for 2-3 sec, leave power button once on (keep holding the soft keys). A black screen with a message will appear. Press 0 (zero) and enjoy, the phone will be reset and you lost all information an apps installed.
I hope that it works for you
ah excellent, all fixed!
i thought there must have been a hard reset, just didn't know how

So what did I do....
I installed .net 3.5 compact on my phone, and then installed Advanced config and made a few TF3D tweaks. Everything seemed to work ok. I then installed hTorch and it worked.
I then installed dotfred's taskmanager and then did another TF3D tweak. (The cache size one) and then did a soft reboot.
Now my phone doesn't even work. I can barly boot up and when it does boot up I get all of these error about ***.exe can run because it is not a valid
application.
Im thinking it was the .net 3.5 maybe.. or the dotfreds... no idea really.
Phew... so What'd I do wrong? I cant figure out how to un-install the stuff I put on it, because active sync wont run because it wont load on my phone. I literally cant do anything on my phone. The time doesn't even show. All I can see is the battery, reception and that it is on vibrate. I cant even change the volume.
Thanks for any help... I would love a way to do it w/o losing all of my numbers but that maybe the only way. (but I dont even know how to do it like that)

The simplest would be a hard reset but will cause you to loose data, to do this press the the volume down button while pressing the reset button (next to the usb port) then it will ask if you want to hard reset so press the volume up. This will place your phone back to factory defaults.
Any idea how this happened? I would like to do all of this over again, just not sure what I did / didnt do...
I cant get this thing to hard reset.... ugh!
I have tried pressing and holding the volume down button and then pressing and holding the reset button next to the USB and it just keeps rebooting. (Also tried the center button and the volume button at the same time and then hitting and/or holding the reset button.)
Whats odd is sometimes is comes up with my password prompt and it works, other times that same password prompt comes up but my password doesnt work....
Wow... after about 15 reset, and 5-10 times trying to hard reset it... it just started to work all of a sudden..
I'm afraid to reset it again. No idea whats going on... worst part is that I work in IT so I'm really confused as to what is going on.
Hard reset is performed by doing the following.
1. Press the volume down button.
2. Press the action button.
3. Press reset button with stylus.
Press all of the above mentioned sections and continue pressing until you are prompted to perform a Hard Reset.

This is the method for entering bootloader mode, not Hard Resetting the device.
If you have your phone synced to outlook, you should be able to restore your contacts. Also I save all my contacs to sim via sim manager.
a bit of advice which I use... always backup ur phone after installing a program. After each single install do the backup, you should have Sprite Backup which came with ur phone. This way, you can go back to any one point in time to see what F'ed up, takes a bit longer but its worth it.
This doesnt solve ur current problem but at least u can make sure it doesnt happen again... and fyi, everyone ends up hard resetting their phone at some point in their life and lose all data... ur not the first and wont be the last so breath and take it easy.
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??
Greetz
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???
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.

To perform a HTC HD2 Leo hard reset with buttons

2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Here's more info on this

Thanks very much chaps all back to defaults now
Remember if your phone wont respond but you can get an active sync connection to work, you can uninstall cabs from there.

One to remember thanks mate, i've relatively new to all this but learning a lot off here and its good to know there's a back up if it all goes badly wrong!!
Hi,
I dont know what happened but since this afternoon (no matter how many times I perform a soft reset) sense is unable to start. I cant even navigate my phone. however I can still send and recieve calls but that's it.
Does anybody know what caused this? Although I install various software on an regular basis I'f never flashed the standard ROM.
Can you please tell me how to perform a hard-reset if software doesn't allow me to?
quote from the manual:
"To perform a hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then 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.
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset"
However before you do that, you could try disabling sense + soft reset + enabling sense -> this helped me few times when my sense wouldn't start.
The question is can you get to Start Menu / Settings? or - if not - does your ActiveSync work?
Some info from the Htc website..
Performing a Factory/Hard Reset You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep. For information about ways of backing up your phone, see the following topics:
Synchronizing With Outlook on Your Computer
Backing Up Your Phone Using Microsoft My Phone
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.
Enter 1234.
Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Tnx guys but no luck, when phone is off and I hold the volume buttons then briefly tap power button the damn thing turns on...the the whole crap starts all over again...nothing works except sending and recieving calls...
ok, before you attempt to loose all your data, try copying unpacking the attached file to your Windows folder - it can be done with ActiveSync,
if I did not screw up, once the file is copied there, long-press of phone button should bring the today settings, where you can try to disable sense, and see what happens then...

one more (sad) reason for investing in good backup app, be it SPB, Sprite, Resco or whatever...

Agree 100%. I backup regularly but now I cant even hard-reset so that's not my problem.
Until now a hard reset always worked. Putting your (p107r0) file in the windows folder at least gave me the uportunity to disable sense and grand me access to the settings. But the touch screen seems to suffer from this virus too...when I try to purge my stored info (entering 1234) the keyboard shows what key I press but the number doesnt appear in the textbar...
Even trying to install a cab doesnt work. I can find everything on the phone but tapping does nothing...
I'm very close to flushing the phone down the toilet or something...
I feel your pain (1 month with overheating mainboard), but don't flush it yet
try the second method for HR - the one where you start with both vol keys pressed
