http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1137
When I finished the insallation my qtek was freezed. And it did not function any more....
I really want to do a hard reset but my phone can't connect to active sync anymore....
Does anyone have a solution for this problem???
Thank you in advance.....

If the device wont boot any more, the only thing you can really do is a full reset.
I assume you've already tried a reset?

That is the problem.... my device cant connect to active sync aymore... and I dont know another way to do a full reset...

You should have the clearstorage program on your phone. Run that, and it'll hard reset you. There's a button combination as well to do the same, but I don't have a wizard to tell you it. Check the wiki or use search.
V

- Switch off your device
- Press and hold the Comm Manager and Voice Dial button
- Switch on your device (while holding those 2 buttons)
- Press the Send (green button) key to give it a hard-reset.
Good luck.

WM2005 Hard Reset
WM2005 Hard Reset
Press power putton
Then press Record Button
Then Press Camera Button
Then with Stylus press Reset Button
Use the recorder button and the camera butoon to scroll and change values.
After this you will see 3 options(no backlight).
1 Kit = YES ------------------ change this to NO
2 Register Hive= No ---------should remain NO
3 Storage = No --------------change this to YES
after this press the big round button between the call and call end buttons to SAVE. Device Restart, then wait.
You have successfully hard reset your PPC.
Re: WM2005 Hard Reset
I'll explain this menu.
1. Enables the debugging mode of WM2005. I have not played with that, it needs PlatformBuilder to be installed on PC.
2. Clears the registry hives to their default values. I have not tested that, but it should work like hardreset but will keep all modified files.
3. Format the storage. This would also reset the registry because it is contained on storage. Similar to hardreset in previous OSes.
It is rather difficult to press all these buttons without someone's help.
easy
easy... :roll:
:arrow: put the xdall in the table, insert the stylus in reset sw then make your belly or your stomach or whatever to support/push it,
:arrow: left hand hold the on/off sw and record sw
:arrow: and right hand thumb pressing the camera sw and the same time hold or support the device
:arrow: then push it all and count to ten....
hahahaha...just like you are going to acrobatic position.
But i did that.

how to unlock htc touch without password

Friends,
I've just joined the forum. My HTC touch has just been locked itself and I can't unlock it because I didn't set a password. I still can receive calls but can't make calls, the screen is password screen, nothing else. I can't shut it down without removing the battery.
I tried PIN, PUK, IMEI, 0000, 1234, etc but didn't work. I tried soft reset but didn't help. Tried hard reset but it didn't reset. I tried the SIM card in other phones, it works, thus, the problem is the device.
Any help will be appreciated...

You want to double check about that hard reset. I think you've probably only done a soft reset. A hard reset will reset the machine back and wipe off ALL your data and settings, including the password.
The front screen password of which you are referring to NOT any of the ones you have listed, but instead it is something you would have set when setting up the device.
Have a try with some of your usual passwords
I have tried hard reset (pushing green and red buttons at the same time pushing the reset button with its own pen) but, didn't reset (since there appeared no message on the screen like "the data will be lost"). I think those two buttons are not functional because of password. Every time I tried hard reset it has done the soft one.
thanks anyway

I'd suggest you query this in the HTC Touch forum rather than the General Forum for everything, as they have more intimate knowledge to help you
Hi there, my HTC touch just did the same today. I never set a password.
I contacted my IT guy and he mentioned the following:
Try number 1 once, and then tap unlock.
WORKED BRILLIANTLY!!
The HTC Touch does that all the time.
All you need to do is hold down the Send and End Call buttons down firmly and push the stylus up in the little hole near the usb port (Reset Button) and wait till the screen says that the phone is going to format and all data will be lost press the soft key to continue. Then when it says that press the center button and it will show Fat formatting and Rom formatting. This will erase all data on your touch so make sure you back up.
After turn on the phone and go through the set up and it should be perfectly ok.
You can do this for two reasons.
1. To reset the phone locks.
2. To repair the touch screen if it stops working.
Hope this helps. Enjoy
Dotybizz, I guess the O/P wanted a way to recover without wiping his data. However, due to the security reasons I'm sure you know about often that isn't a suitable option.
Not working

A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu path
* 1. From the Today Screen, go to Start>Settings.Select the System Tab and then tap on Clear Storage.
* 2. Enter in the password provided on the display of the device (should be 1234) and tap Yes.
* 3. The device will begin the Master Reset Process.
Keystroke Method
* 1. Power the device off.
* 2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Center Navigation Button at same time, do not release.
* 3. Press Power button and hold for a 3 count (quickly - say one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three). 1-2 seconds is too short, 4-5 seconds is too long.
* 4. The screen will instantly show the text to hard reset (this is a white screen with Blue text that provides the next steps to complete the Hard Reset. If you do not get this screen, power the device off and try again).
* o Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data is backed up before proceeding.

Big Problems

Hello helpers, I have multiple problems with my orbit, though its all probably linked and therefore one problem.
first of all the darn thing crashes all the time, but I was okay with that, all i had to do was reset then reset the date and time. However after one of these crashes I now get
" The file 'MSPOUTLOOK' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
and everything I try and do it has a new one, like contacts is " The file ':MSCONTACTS' cannot be opened................etc"
So i resigned myself to having to do a hard reset, but oh no it does not work.
Can someone at least confirm that the procedure is supposed to be, hold down the power button, then press in the reset button for 5 seconds? If that is the procedure, all that happenes is, as soon as i press in the reset button (with the power button already held down) it just does a soft reset and I'm in the same position.
It wont connect to my pc so theres no way of flashing firmware or any such action Hopefully someone can help, thanks very much, Paul.
Hard reset procedure:
- Hold down both soft keys
- Press the reset button once using the stylus
- Release the soft keys
- Press the green send button when the following message appears:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Sent to restore manufactures default, or press other keys to cancel.
Goog luck!
Sorry to be a pain, but that didn't work either, I presume by soft keys, you mean the ones with just a '-' on them just below the screen next to the jog wheel. I have a feeling there is going to be no way to sort this now. When I try what you said it just resets stright away as soon as the reset button is pressed, Thanks, Paul.
okay i did finally get it to work !!!!
Good to hear. Hope everything works fine after the hard reset!

Hard reset with dead LCD - doesn't seem to work?

I need to send my phone in for repair but want to factory reset it first.
LCD cracked after a drop so I can't see ANYTHING on the screen, this is what is happening when I try reset:
1. Remove & replace battery
2. Hold volume down, then press Power whilst holding
3. Four seconds later release volume down
4. Press volume down
5. Press power button (Phone then vibrates briefly)
6. Press Volume Up
7. Wait for reboot....
Problem is that the phone doesn't seem to reboot no matter how long I wait (I never hear the start-up sound/no buttons become active.)!
I have WaveSecure installed, so I did a remote Backup to check if the phone had been reset but it hadn't, I still had data on there!! I have no performed a Remote Wipe with WaveSecure but I don't know if it deletes things like Saved Passwords from the browser!
I'm running the stock HTC 2.1.
Any help is appreciated, I really need to get the hard reset working!
Thanks!
Got it working
Not sure what I did but I kept trying it over and over and when I booted the phone and tried phoning it I realised the ringtone was back to default, so I did eventually get the hard reset working!
