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.

- 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.

Soft reset: Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of your device.
Hard reset: Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press SEND to restore factory default, press END to exit', if you press SEND Your device will be set back to factory default settings.than Press "OK" to boot
(The L/R soft keys are the "--" keys just above the the Green phone and Red phone buttons) You can also use clear storage in settings. WARNING!!! HARD RESETTING WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP!

hi guys..i wonder the hardware button with a little sattelite antenna under green call button is for starting gps program?if it is...can i reasign to let`s say igo?
i just want to know if someone of you knows about a program (like deep freeze in windows for pc)who can revert back to my initial program instalations and configs without hard reset?...cause hard reset wipe out every other program that i installed after rom install...
Go to Start/ Settings/ Buttons, Buton 1 should have the GPS icon against it, select this then at the bottom of the page where it says assign a program use the drop down box to select the application you want to open with the button - Mike
hey mike...as you probably see i am a newbie and i want to thank you very much for your quick help...yes i did it ...now i have another app on that button....
someone heared about a program( like deep freeze for pc)to revert my instalations and configs back after soft reset or after restart?
A soft reset will not wipe any data from your device, in fact soft resetting a PDA based phone is a regular event and not something to worry about.
Should you ever need to hard reset the device you will wipe everything and put it back to out of the box as new condition - to easily recover from this situation I use Sprite Back up. It can create self installing backup files so even when you are away from the PC you can still recover the PDA - Mike
well...thank you mike for your kindness and for being so helpful..i know about programs that make images from my device but i am looking for a program like deep freeze but for ppc.i am using this on my pc and i never had problems with viruses or odd programs behaviour.It keeps the same my configs and settings too.
After having thoroughly read the 280 pages of the UM of my Rhodium, I've tried several times (three digits number !) to hard-reset my machine, but alas, without success.
I've tried every possible combination of ON/START/STOP buttons but none works.
I either happen to make the message "do you want to switch off your mobile" (in french, as French am I) or the menu to activate ringer/vibrator etc to appear, but never ever got the ability to hard-reset my unit.
What's wrong with me/my Rhodium ?
Thx in advance mates !
Instructions on how to hard reset are in the wiki. Don't know what these "ON/START/STOP" buttons you mentioned are. The buttons involved in making a hard reset are the Power, Call Send, and Call End keys.
Alternatively, you can go to "Clear Storage" in your settings and follow the directions on screen.

on=power, start=call send and stop=call end, indeed, but it ain't working anyway !
i'll give "clear storage" a try, thanks.

You do know that you need to turn off the device first? Alternatively, do a "clear storage" as mentioned above, if you still have access to your device.

Yes, I do know, thank you for your response, and I tried either way unsuccessfully !
I do have access to my machine but needed it to be fully reset.
"clear storage" works fine, but that does not explain me why the "three finger salute" fails...
You are keeping the SEND and END keys down whilst you turn the POWER on aren't you? then releasing only when you see the tricolour screen
I updated the wiki page the other day to make the steps a bit clearer.
Give it antoher go .

Problems with Hard Reset on a Verizon Touch Pro 2
Hi Guys,
I've had my Verizon version of the phone since the beggining of the week and I cannot make a Hard Reset work either. The combination of Send/End/Power buttons do not work, and on my Verizon version there is no "Clear Storage" item under the system tab in settings. I've watched the U-Tube clip in the Wiki, and I note that HTC's site for the Verizon variant refers to using "Clear Storage".
Looking in the Windows directory there is a Clear Storage html file but there is no ClearStorage.exe. I have extracted a ClearStorage.exe from my Tilt and inserted it into the Windows directory of the Touch but to no avail.
Does anybody have a fix for this? Could this be another "exclusion" by Verizon to stop us working with our phones?
Sorry to insist, but you have turned the device completely OFF, right? So it's not just in "stand by/screen off" power saving mode, but completely off? So that when you press the power button, the phone starts loading WM etc.
Again, sorry to insist, but I couldn't figure out any other reason for the hard reset not to work.
Don't mind you insisting because this issue is stupid. Yes I have turned the phone completely off by pressing the End button until the phone states "Your phone will be turned off. Press No to cancel.
When I attempt the Hard reset it the phone merely restarts regardless of how long I press the buttons.
All this would not be so much of an issue if "Clear Storage" was available. Short of waiting for the first cooked ROM (and therefore Hard SPL) to appear for the CDMA phones, is there any way to put that back? Obviously it requires more than copying the .exe to the windows directory. My Tilt has a 6.5 cooked ROM. Is is possible that the .exe is slightly changed in that one vs 6.1?
Other Verizon phone owners - can you confirm that the "Clear Storage" is missing?
Edited:
On my Verizon, the Clear Storage is on the System tab, under 'Memory'. Select 'Memory' and select the Clear Storage sub tab.
Taken from ppcgeeks:
FOR VERIZON TP2 ONLY (Sprint & GSM have different settings)
Soft reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hit the end key to start your phone. You can also hit the reset button under the battery cover.
Hard reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hold volume down, send and end till you see blue text. Follow hard reset prompts.
Security
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, hold vol down and end to get to security(rainbow screen).

I just confirmed that this works on a Verizon phone. I got the hard reset prompt with this key sequence.
For Verizon users that want to do the clear storage through the OS, it's located under Memory in Settings on the Clear Storage Tab.
Settings -> All Settings -> Memory -> Clear Storage
Happy formatting :-D
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone for resolving this.
This is what HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon) site says under FAQ "General & Others":
"Q. What does a Hard Reset do and how is it performed?
A hard reset removes all information from your device and returns it to a state just like it has never been used before. All contacts, messages, emails, 3rd party applications, etc. will need to be reinstalled after performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, navigate to Start > Settings > All Settings > System (tab) > Clear Storage. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete. This process will take 5-10 minutes".
Clearly no reference to being under the Memory Icon. The link is:
http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=294&cat=90&id=110490&f=t
Could we ask the moderator to arrange for the Wiki to be updated for the CDMA vcersions?
I have a Verizon TP2. Clear Storage on my phone is located at Settings/Memory and then the Clear Storage Tab. It asks you to enter a number to reset your phone and restore Verizon default settings.
Edit: Bah, guess I didnt see the second page )
