[Q] Problems with the restart - HTC Hero - General Questions and Answers

Hello to all,
I bought a new HTC model A6288 G3 + Hero and I pressed the button "Return to factory settings" with both SIM and microSD removed. Window opens to restart Windows, then the indication is "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Phone." I clicked and pops with "align screen" after I used the stylus to align. Hence no longer happen. I can't go to the next step, though I left the phone open longer. To turn off my Pocket PC I must remove the battery.
In the Add / Remove Programs I have left only three programs, but to Explore My Windows Mobile-Based Device, Windows folder is there.
Please help me to solve the problem.Thank you very much.

Want to install the TouchFlo and Cube but don't want to use a custom flash?

Want to install the TouchFlo and Cube but don't want to use a custom flash?
1. Download the Original Flash release from T-Mobile.
Part 1
Part 2
2. Backup your device since the upgrade will erase any data in it. You can back it up to your memory card or computer.
3. If you are installing in a device with no modifications, hard reset (Press and hold both soft keys and press reset button, continue to hold soft keys until screen displays to hard reset. Press the call button to continue). If you need to install the original software, continue to step 3a
3a. Enter boot loader on your phone (Hold camera button and press reset, continue holding camera until a screen with 3 gradient colors shows up
3b. Connect your computer via USB to your ppc (Pocket PC)
3c. Run the*orignal RUU (software)*.exe from your hard drive, follow its simple onscreen instructions and click check boxes necessary to continue with the installation. This should take a few minutes, and you will more then likely see your screen flash and change things, this is normal, let it work. After a few minutes it will boot up and go into "automatic customization of your device", I continued this (screen alignment, tips, auto setup), and waited for my device to be totally ready for me to use.
4. Connect your device via USB to the PC and wait for it to connect. If it automatically pulls up a profile for your phones sync, delete that profile. If it asks again to setup the device for syncing items, click cancel. You will still be able to explore your phone and install devices without setting up the sync profile for your phone.
5. Make sure your phone is connected as a guest, if it is not, make sure it is. It should display as guest after the hard reset.
Download the modified OS (RUU)
Part 1
Part 2
6. Copy "Aserg policies.cab" to your mobile device
7. Run "Aserg policies.cab" from your device
8. Soft reset (use stylus for button on side of wing, or on bottom of herald)
9. Go into your Comm Manager on your phone, and disable "phone". Basically enter flight mode so nothing can be sent to your phone during this process.
10. Once booted, install the modified OS (with TouchFlo). Make sure you're still connected as guest, and run 1__Upgrade_rom.bat from*the modified OS*folder on your PC
11. This will bring up a command prompt waiting for you to hit a key to begin, press any key
12. During this time it is installing, NEVER touch your phone or play with it in any matter. It may look as though the command prompt has gotten hung up at times, but leave it run until it completes (or fails). your phone will pop up a message saying "unknown status" or the likes, but don't close that window, like I said just leave it alone.
13. If you have no error messages in the command dialogue box then you're ready to hard reset your phone. (press both soft keys, and press reset, continue holding soft keys until you see a dialogue asking if its okay to restore settings, hit the call button to finish it)
14. Your device SHOULD boot normally, go through setup, and you should be golden. If at any time there is an error during install, but you still let it complete, you might have a chance at it working. Hard reset it after completion (even with errors) just to see if it works. If it wont go past your T-mobile or HTC picture screen on boot up, then you have bricked your device. To un-brick it, run steps 3a through 3c and reinstall the RUU. If you get any errors, try and try again. Its proven working on several devices.

How do you bypass first setup/screen alignment?

I've got a MDA which has a broken lcd. Its just cracked slightly, but still displays fine. I did a Clear Storage and now the phone has reset and is giving me the "tap here to set up your device" wizard. I need to bypass this and any screen alignment that may come up since the LCD touch feature no longer works. I've done it before when I got the phone, but I cant find the thread nor remember the steps.
Any help is appreciated.
you really can't. i heard theres a way you can flash a rom where the config has already been done, but i don't remember where i saw it

At least I hope it does.
Just create a file named WELCOME.NOT on your storage card and do a hard reset.
HI , I had this problem with all my old crashed PPC ,,, so delete this file and reboot ,,, /Windows/Startup/Welcome.exe
U can use the "Activesynce Explorer to browse the Windows Directory
Enjoy..........
use "Remote screen alignment" tool and bypass your start screen easily. search this tool in forum. you will get it easily..
Regards
welcome.not and http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...iler-v1-2.html
THANK YOU SO MUCH kfletch and le_cactus. I'm not sure which of these worked since I did both but the welcome screen FINALLY went away. it took a while. i had to install the Mobiler software and I had problems getting my ActiveSync up but I created the welcome file by going to the desktop of my pc, right click, new , text document, i changed the default name "New Text Document.txt to Welcome.not" then I right clicked to copy it. Next---Once the Microsoft Activesync came up, I clicked on Explore --> My Windows Based Device ---> Storage Card then I selected paste to paste the welcome.not file. After this it gets a little tricky because your device has to sync again to filter the file back down to the phone. This took a while. Then after a few resets, the Mobiler software finally read 'connected', then it gives you a screen shot of your mobile device, i did a soft reset a few MORE times and it worked. It's not as cut and dry as previous posts made it sound. it's a pain in the butt.
My touch screen (T-Mobile Wing) stopped working after I used it in the bathroom while in the bathtub (I don't know what the heck I was thinking), well later that day the screen stopped working and the genius at tech support had me do a hard reset and software upgrade, which did NOT help. (whatever you do, don't call tech support, especially if the white dot beneath the battery is another color---you're screwed!!!)--AFTER tech support messes up your phone they won't bother to help you if they think it's due to water damage! I'm going to see if I can locate the forum regarding reloading the touch screen drivers. I think that may be the problem.
thanks dear I try i350 gSMART and working.

HTC TYTN(Hermes 200)
Hi there i have an HTC TYTN, happens that i'm suposed to have the same problem (maybe broken screen).
The phone was working fine untill today.
I can't bypass the screen alignment; i tryed both ways.
What can i be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Bypassing with "logic"
Hi there;
In my case; i found a way to bypass it.
My screen has a 4mm scratch in the top left of the screen.
so i just pressed the bottom of the cursor (NOT IN THE MIDDLE WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO PRESS - "in the top left cursor" - where the scratch is)
after that i could use my phone again.
Also after this try finding the correct registry screen alignment and save it.
It will work properly.
welcome.not works for TyTN II with unresponsive touch screen . Blank micro SD card with just one blank file welcome.not. You can insert the sd card just before you hard reset
It worked in OMNIA II and passed the screen calibration..Thanks a lot guys!!!

Deadlocked Windows Mobile 6.5

Hello,
I have some trouble with my Windows Mobile 6.5 SEX1 device.
After installing HTC Rhodium Menu Enhancements and HTC Scroll the touch screen does not work. This alone is not a problem thanks to the keyboard, but, i accidentally clicked the wrong soft-key, so the slide-to-unlock screen is engaged.
The USB-to-PC mode is set to "disk mode" so I cannot unlock the phone via ActiveSync.
A hard-reset is not an option since I have data on the device which I would not like to loose. Do you guys have any ideas on how to rectify this issue?
EDIT1: I even made an attempt to salvage the important files by making an autorun.exe application which would copy the files to my SD-card without success.
Kind regards
Per
Your Slide to unlock screen is engaged, right? if its S2U2 you can just soft reset and keep pressing the up button on your device which should prevent it from locking. From there you should be alright navigating to settings to change your USB connection to Activesync. If its the default windows lock screen you should be able to use the same process.

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.

[Q] (HTC HD2) How do I restart Sense when it is frozen? (Without restarting device)

I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2. I do NOT want to update it or do anything that requires a factory reset. Whenever my Sense application freezes (quite often, and usually when I open a new text), I am unable to access the Settings menu to turn off or restart Sense in the Today Screen settings, because I cannot GET to the Today settings. It simply does nothing when I tap "Settings" in the start menu. If I have to restart the phone, it takes approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds to turn back on, which is unacceptable. I want to know how to restart a frozen Sense without restarting the Device (in a minute or less). I have tried ReSense and it does not work. I have also tried looking for the Today settings application in the File Explorer, with no success there either.
Try to use CleanRAM, and select level 3. Hope this helps, Google will be your friend.
Thanks! That worked to restart Sense and speed up my phone as well.
Hi guys,
I will let my experience here...
I had a very specific kind of freeze tha happened about 3 months since the last hard reset.
This freeze occurs this way:
- Someday (i don't know how and neither why...) when my phone restarts after about 2 to 5 minutes it freeze if still on any sense screen... and nothing works, except for push windows button that make it goes to start screen... On windows screen if I wait more than a minute to do something it freezes again and I need to push windows button again, then I can go to my folders and run any program...
- sometimes it just freezes if I push lock\end button and when I try to slide the unlocker it freezes and the only thing that works again is the start button.
- If I restart my HD2 without the memory card inside I never get any freezing at all...
- The solution: I deleted (on storage card) the "HTC" folder (in the "application data" folder and every file called "device" or "album" or "thumbnail" on storage card. On restart the phone create new files and foders like that, but the freezes disapears !!!
