Hard Reset
If this is new ROM you should go to Boot Loader first.
How to make Hard Reset:
1.Perform Soft Reset
2.Push Record and Camera button at the same time and hold them until the Boot Loader screen shows up.
P.S. You should do step 2. before the Radio version/ROM version appear in the right bottom of the screen.
3.“Enable KITL” must be NO, “Clean Registry Hive” must be YES, “Format Storage” must be YES
P.S. Use the Record and Camera buttons for navigation.
4.Press Mail button.(Do not touch anything until the white screen disappears)
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OT THE PASSWORD(WITHOUT DELETING YOUR FILES) YOU SHOULD PERFORM NO/YES/NO PROCEDURE!
That's it! Good Luck!

4 color bands at boot

Hi,
I have a problem with my QTek 9090.
when i want to hard reset it, (power, record, camera and reset) it just displayed the 4 colored bands and stuck here.
how can i restore the normal booting sequence ?
thx.

this is normal, no problem. OS is kichen, no orginal. My Qtek work perfect WM6. Thanks Helmi!

so what should i do because it is block on this stupid 4 colored bands screen...
hard and soft reset do not help.

are you sure you have chosen No/Yes/Yes to clean the registy hive and format the storage at hard reset?
have you pressed the Mail Button to execute the instruction?
being stuck at the 4color screen is a common glitch in wm6 upgrading but nothing serious, that's because even though you flashed the ROM, your storage still has the files of your OLD Os (ex. WM2003).
you have to format the storage to have a fresh and working OS.

the problem is that i did not get any message on screen to which i can answer yes or no :-(
i effectively read some article in this forum about such step, but my Qtek 9090 did not propose me something like that !
:-(

i tried the steps you posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1603200&postcount=8
but the menu is never displayed :-(

oh... ok.
try pressing Camera + Record... before you stick the Soft Reset.
hold them until you see the menu.
if that doesnt work. then maybe one of the required button is failing.
good luck!

unfortunatelly, it does not work :-(
this is making me crazy...

try searching for MMTY hard reset. that's probably the thing that you need.

i did not find anything about MMTY and hard reset...
:-(
any additional help would be very appreciated

You would find you get a better response if you explain what rom it was that you were installing when this happened,was the rom for your device and did it complete fully?

scousemartin is right... we need details.
about MTTY ok...
here's a link about MTTY on Hermes Bootloader... some of its commands are general and can be used on BA with care.
look for something specific to your problem
i.e. Task 28 to format your DOC.

I can't hard reset either
I have followed all of the directions on the wiki, I have even tried to install another rom and it still will not remove all of the data, it changed the information in the about section of my settings but that's it. I want to change ROMs but it is not working. any ideas?

What version of windows is on your PC?
also try the enter BL which is on most ROMs

Hard Reset
To hard reset you do a soft reset (power + reset)
and before it shows the version numbers at the bottom you have to press Record + Camera & also power (i think) and then you come to an options screen using the record button to go down the list and camera to select you select Yes for option 2 and 3 and then hit the mail button to apply.

Hard Reset?

Hi all...
My Blue Angel wont hard reset. I just bought it second hand and have been trying to hard reset it. I read up and the instructions are to keep the power button pressed while resetting with the stylus. But no matter how many times I tried, this procedure only soft resets the device. Please help!

Try it the software way by going to start>settings>system>clear storage>1234>ok.

Hi buddy.. thanks so much for the reply... but its not working.. tapping on the clear storage icon in settings does not bring up the password screen or do anything at all

wat are my other options people... pls help

anybody??????

i think you make wrong HardReset.
for Hard Reset a BA just press RECORD+CAMERA/PLAYER+SOFT RESET 2 sec. and walaahhh.... there you go.., You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
have a nice reset

Thank you soooo much Stevo... Ur method worked... I wonder why the wiki itself has the wrong method for hard reset... Maybe the hard reset varies from brand to brand... although it should not be since the hardware essentially is the same... Anyways... Hopefully one of the moderators would read this thread and add your method to the wiki...
Million thanks again...

I get that 3 choice screen, but how to I get it to hard-reset AFTER that? If I hit the soft-reset I get the same thing I have gotten for the whole day before. :-(

on the screen must be shown
enable kitl :choose no
clear registry hive : choose yes
format storage : choose yes
change it using the record and camera button.. after that use the mail button to proceed the hard reset

tried the above but unable to press enter using mail button to initiate rebootin. pls help

Procedure works as advertised
I also was scratching my head over the Hard Reset info in the Wiki not working. This procedure did the trick. Thanks for the help!
Also, for the poster who had trouble with the Mail button not initiating a reboot, just hold it until you get an all white screen, that's what I did and it worked like a charm!

WM6 deep FROZED -> check/replace your battery

Password bug or something windows mobile 6.5

I've got very bad problem. I've set password on Windows Mobile 6.5 in my MDA III. And someday it happened... I couldn't turn on the phone mode so I've used soft reset option in xcpuscalar mounted on device. At start it asked me for the password. I'm 100% sure I've typed the correct password (even compared with password I wrote in my notes) and it says that's "The password you typed is incorrect".
I tried several times and nothing. I tried even to hard reset (Power button + reset button), but it seems it does only soft reset (so I don't know how to hard reset it at all). I've tried to discharge backup battery, even took it of. Nothing helps. Please help me with this.
I want to hard reset, but I don't know how? The procedure has changed since WM 6.5? Or help me with solving problem otherwise.
Sorry for my bad english.

the password bug is long since known. that's why it is generally better not to set one on a cooked rom. as far as i know there is no way to reset the password, so i would advise you to hard reset.
that is indeed done differently in wm6.5 than in wm2003
you have to press power +reset and then immediately press camera+record.
a menu should appear.
using the camera and record buttons you set the menu entries from "NO", "NO", "YES" to "YES", "YES", "NO" and press the mail button to confirm, after a little while the device restarts and is hard resetted.

Have the same problem, company policy is enforcing password security....
No chance to cheat that bug? Or any rom without that secured evaluation mode available ?
Thanks and best regards,
Muskote

WM 6.5 lock issue
I have the same issue on my HTC Vogue phone, I haven't hard reset it because I can still answer calls, and I would like to synchronize 1 last time before I hard reset and have to reinstall all my apps. Anybody have a way of bypassing this feature? An NV item to change maybe? I can mtty when I boot into bootloader screen and "rtask c" to get into diag mode and access CDMA section of phone, anything I can do from there? The lock on CDMA is not the same of the WM 6.5

They enforce password security but let you flash the device with a ROM of obscure to unknown origin?
Dirk

spades you nailed it again, exactly what i was thinking, plus there is still nothing new to say, that i didn't write in my other posts, and also, this is the blueangel section, not the vogue's we are 99% dealing with gsm devices here, nearly no cdma.
sorry can't help you.

Same problem here...
I'm facing the same problem...
My phone is HTC Himalaya (XDA II) with WM6.5
I cant enter my phone. it keep asking password altough i entered the correct password.
And it doesnt confirm anything, like ur password is wrong.
the button is pressed but nothing happends.
My contact and my task are synced with exchange server, but i hav plenty important SMS in that phone...
Is anything i can do except hard reset the device?
Btw, i still can receive any call.
Last nite this phone is OKAY, the problem appeared in the morning.
Micro**ft let me down again.
Anyone please help me!!!

as probably you are aware of the fact that this is not the himalaya section (which doesn't matter as this is a general wm problem), and since you posted in an older thread (which i assume, you read before) the only thing i can tell you is,
there are no new known ways around that problem but to hard reset or re-flash. i understand that people want to protect their phones, the password just does not work (yet)!
but to get to your real problem, i have never set a password and do not know if you can still sync the device w/o entering the password, but there is a neat little program called -=Windows Mobile SMS Sync 1.3=-. try that to back up your sms, but i don't know, whether you'd be able to restore them to the device. -=spb backup=- or -=DotFred's pim backup=- are programs for the ppc that are also able to back up and also restore sms, but you probably can't run programs, when you can't get past the password screen.
i hope any of this works for you, and i hope you learned your lesson, not to set a password in a cooked rom
