Ive read the wiki properly and search the net thoroughly, and none provide a solution, and this is my last hope.
I cant hard reset my ba, you know the one which enters a screen with the line of word with selection of YES or NO. i cannot excute the selection or exit from that screen other than actually pressing reset again using the stylus, seems to be, my MAIL button is not functioning or broken.
is there other alternative?
Hello. I´ve the same problem than you. I can´t push the mail button to make hard reset. is There any way to do it. have you obtained it??
Thanks
probably via bootloader and mtty;
never played with Blue Angel, but, assuming there's a different key for bootloader mode; go into the BL and use mtty to type in "task 28"
maybe its a stupid suggestion but you can remove main battery and wait untill backup battery drain.... Im not sure how long will that take.
Im suggesting this bcoz few days ago when I intend to buy my 9090 it came with empty backup battery (long time in the box) and every time I removed main battery it resseted to factory settings until I charged it fully.
Guess that that is the same as hard reset, only problem is that Im not sure how long will it take to drain backup battery but if that is the only solution then theres nothing to lose.

Orrr... just use task 28 from the bootloader
Hello. Thanks for your answer. I do it with task 28. Now I'm going to try to downgrade from wm6 to wm2003 to see if my buttons become to work properly.
Thanks.

after my XDAIIs Freezed, i did soft-reset. i try to turn it on, But nothing happen. So i put a battery out and did hard reset and put it in. then turn it on, nothing happen. i spend a few hour waiting and try to turn it on sometimes can sometimes cannot. How can i do?
Thank you in advance for your answer
what did you do made your XDAIIs Freezed?
any software upgrade?or just happened suddenly?
re:
It's freeze while i'm backing up.
Update: Maybe it's cause by i restore all program from my old Pocketpc Backup, and they have a bad conflication between program and hardware. Now i send my ppc to service for frashing rom and i will try to install it manually one by one.and less program i will use. So, After finished i'll tell you all the result.
Thank you for all you guys reading my topic.
Hard Reset
You dont need to remove the battery to do a hard reset. Just press and hold the power button on the top, and then use the stylus to press the 'soft reset' button on the bottem. That will hard reset the device. It should then power up and re-install its software.
Restoring a backup from an old device aint a good idea (same model, and operator required for sensible results). The backup will contain the windows dir, registry, as well as the operator unique progs that they put on the device to personalize it to them. Result will likely be not being able to boot, or device working incorrectly once started.
If the hard reset does not work, then you'll have to return it for a replacement.
Best bet will be to re-install all the progs from your own device and resync your email, contacts, blah from a PC.

I have the same problem after I upgraded my MDA II to WM2003SE and did a restore from backup.
If the device is in the cradle I can turn it on an also if I receive a phonecall it switches on. A soft reset works also. But if I just press the button nothing happens .........
Will do a hard reset and restore everything manually, see if that helps.....
Update: My board was broke. Services will change it for free but i take a little long times. Because spare parts wasn't avaible.
Have to wait few week.
hi..
Actualy im using XDA IIs less than 6 month and last 3 days my PDA start go wrong..it always hard reset when i press answer/dial button when i get incoming call or want to make a calls..i donno why..i already reset and reformat but nothing change...please advice what is actualy goes wrong...? thanks in advance..
make sure the battery door is locked in position and tightly...have you loaded any third party software recently?
the batt is ok..and i already check it, it fine..but the third party software i only install SBP POCKET PLUS..that all..is it third party software can cause this problem..?
The BA is know to reboot and Hard reset for no know reason due to a fault with the battery.
Maybe your battery is NOT ok!
back again !!
Regarding about the battery..just now i already change the batt with my friends and try to test my o2 the result is the same..still hard reset whent i press dial button..is it that button is already broken..?
I had the same problem with my xdaiis.. it went back to o2 twice and the second time it was replaced for an exchange unit.....
so confirm that button is broken..ermmm i'll try to claim from my warranty..
Hello everyone, my first experience of upgrading the firmware is sadly failed and now my beloved m5000 is only a beautiful paperweight!!!
No key combination could start the bootloader nor soft or hard reset works.
When I connect it to mains charger, the right led goes red for few seconds and then goes off...
In the service manual I have read that this signal means hardware failure but because the fault is the consequence of a failed upgrade I don't thing that it is really broken.
I already tried to contact htc and orange for repairing but in Italy where I live it seems that the warranty isn't valid and services are very scarce.
Someone have an hint?
Thanks.
Try to do a hard reset, many manage to get that white screen.
Thank you for the suggestion but it doesn't work The phone is completely dead, except for the red led. Any key combination including hard reset simply doesn't work.
I suspect that the only way to resurrect it is to reflash using a jtag interface.
But unluckily I don't own the pinout!!!
take a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those stuck on Boot Screen for instructions on how to use the mtty utility to bring your device "back to life"
There's additional information on the mtty utility in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259003
hope this helps
If you are on the bootloader menu...
Try to flash again a complete rom + extended rom + Radio
SOmetimes it can work again
sigh... thanks to everyone but I can't reach the bootloader menu: the uni is bricked!
My only hope is to find the jtag pinout...
Try holding down Light + power for at least 5sec. and while still pressing, do a soft reset.
If you dont go to BootLoader then try to increase the Hold down Light + Power some more.
This worked for me, could again get it active on usb and ran my original rom upgrade while it was in BootLoader mode.
If that dossent work, try the bootloader upgrade version at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
You can do the same with the two - - buttons, holding for more than 5sec. then soft reset. Should bring up the Reset with 0 or X to cancel.
But it just reverted to a brick every time for me with this.
BTW. do this with USB or Power Cable plugged in!!
another possibility is that your battery is low enough not to allow booting but is still able to light up the LED. it happened to me a few times that i was thinking it was completely gone and it was just low bat. remember that if you have a non booting device it may not even charge the battery anymore so you'd better ask a friend to lend you a charged one, just to be sure.
cheers!
Ill Buy The Brick!

Still Charging
I have 2 wizards and a universal... By mistake, i have tried to upgrade the G3 wizard but pluged the G4!!!!!...... So now i have abricked G4 wizard. Now when i plug the G4 it does NOTHING, it is completly dead, BUT is still charging the Battery!!!! I am sure of this because i have tested the battery in the other device.. So try the same on universal plug it in and wait a few hours it may charge the battery.
anyway, if you can't unbrick it, do me me know if u're selling it.
need some spare parts.
Suggestion
What you can also try is remove Activesync from your desktop, Restart your desktop, install Activesync again and connect your device.
It's word a try! Has something to with rapi.dll!
Cheers...

My failure...
Hello everyone, I've tried all yours suggestion one by one and step by step but without success.
My last chance to not consider this phone a complete loss is to sell it as spares/repair...
Does someone is interested?
P.S.: notwithstanding the phone is bricked it still charge the battery
Try holding the the two - softkeyes for longer/shorter time before you softreset while still holding them down.
Also try different intervals with the softbuttons while holding the Power + Light down, also with soft+Light & soft+power & power+light
all with different intervals.
Look closely at the screen after each try, to se if it goes to bootloader mode.
And remove SD card and Sim also.
I Hate Bootloader!
I have tried ALL of these power+light+reset suggestions and I STILL can't get into the damn bootloader menu! I just gave up and rip apart my JasJar every time I want to update it. For some reason the only way I can access this menu is by pulling the main battery and disconnecting the smaller(watch battery) one in the upper right hand corner and letting it sit for a couple of hours.
Come to think of it, when I use even the factory updates I don't even get a report on the update screen telling me what my current config is! So then I hit update anyway, the unit turns off, I lose my USB connection, it no longer charges, and I have to take the battery out. Almost like the PROGRAM can't even get it into the loader! This is probably how I learned to just yank the batteries when I want to upload.
Unless there is something different because I have an earlier model... I have no clue. Does the unit need to be running or something when I do this? I think this is a fairly elementary task but it just doesn't work. Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes, all my buttons are in working order = )
BTW after my last tear-down I have -
Bootloader: 1.01
Rom version: Ivan-2.60.00WWE
Rom date: 12/20/06
Radio version:1.14.00
ExtRom version: Modified
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=247440&page=14 I think someone already suggested this, but just in case...
No chances
Well, today I've verified my battery and it works like a charm in the uni of a friend. Then the last possibility is gone.
Someone knows how to go ahead any further?
Hi,
I have a VODAFONE 1605 (a plain Hermes 200, a TyTN). It had the original Italian Vodafone WM5 ROM until last month when I decided upgrading it.
I first tried the CH Vodafone version of WM6 ROM, but I had to remove it quickly because for no apparent reason, it was not working with SMS at all (no SMS out, no SMS in...).
I then decided to use HTC WM6 ITA ROM and to apply manually all the needed configurations to use it with my VODAFONE.
It run perfectly until yesterday, when it stopped sending and receiving SMS.
This is very strange as I did not install any program since one week (at least) and it seems difficult for me to be able to find any reason.
Probably the pim.vol file grew too much it is not anymore able to handle more SMS (provided the infos are inside there) ?
I have no explanations available to me and I was not able to find any kind of hint digging into the forum...
I was only able to find some other people with similar problems in the last few days but on different platforms...
Is this maybe a WM6 bug ???
Any hint appreciated.
I'll in the meaningwhile backup all of my infos and proceed to a HR... I'll keep my fingers crossed...
Dear Mix,
I wish I could give you a good answer, but... well, maybe the answer is not really an answer, but it could be at least an hint for other people like you (ME !!!).
You do not want to lose all of your settings, all of your received SMS, you do not want to waste a lot of time setting everything as it was before, so an HR is REALLY the LAST solution for you. You would like to find a tricky path to follow to bypass this unlucky situation...
You already tried to SOFT RESET your device but you did not succeed. The problem is still there...
Well, there seems to be another kind of RESET, before the HARD RESET.
I would define it the "DEEP SOFT RESET", which is something more than a SOFT RESET, but it is right before the HARD RESET.
This kind of reset solved the above problem. I don't know why, I don't know how. It only worked.
The DEEP SOFT RESET is this: press OK and ON button and while pressing those two buttons, put your stilus into the reset hole, pressing the recessed switch. This will place you into the BOOTLOADER MODE.
Keep the device there, showing all the colors and Bootloader information for around 20 seconds at least (obviously, not connected to any cable).
Then, put your stylus again into the hole for resetting and press the internal swith one time more (without pressing any other button).
Your device will reset again, your data will still be into your TyTN and your TyTN will start loading all the data it still has inside.
As soon as I did this, the waiting SMS started reaching their addressee and they moved to "sent" folder.
Again, I'M SURE THIS DID NOT WORK WITH A NORMAL SOFT RESET (I ALREADY DID THIS 20 TIMES !!!). And again, I don't know wither HOW and WHY.
It only worked.
Good luck.
UPDATE:
I've noticed that the problem aroused again and I did a DEEP investigation, with a complete reset of my Hermes...
I then placed all the same programs inside and again no problem...
Problem came back once I used a program called Hermes Tweaker v2.1b which tweaks some parameters around in the WM device...
Once I reset the parameters to default again, the problem went away.
I'll have to discover which parameter is creating the problem...
I'll post the results here (beside fit4cat's pm...)
Good luck.
Hello,
I think I have a problem with my Tytn (WM6):
I had to write a important test today and had to shut off the phone.
But after the test it only boots to the green Windows-Screen and hangs up there.
This happened some time ago too, and I lost all my sms and personal data.
The common ground is, that the battery level was very low, bot times.
I tried searching the forums, but I haven't found a solution for my problem.
I hope anyone can help me.
PS: It doesn't help to charge the phone, only a hard-reset helped last time.
PPS: Sorry for my broken english.
use MTTY to check for bad blocks.... YOu may have to do a hard reset though.. Look for some backup software. I loike spb backup (commercial) or theres sprite backup (freeware) which you should find if you search the forum. This will allow you to backup contacts and messages at least.... Cheers..
I checked with mtty. There are no bad blocks (just a few switched, but I think thats normal)
I backup my data with PIM-Backup, but that program doesn't backup my settings.
A hard reset is done... and I hope this never happen again.
You've had a Hard Reset that doesn't complete. Battery has nothing to do with it, AFAIK. I've had the same thing happen will on a call, installing a cab, answering an email. Phone locks up and never boots again or it reboots by itself and doesn't boot. I typically (as I am thsi morning) flash the AT&T ROM, HardSPL7 then the ROM of the moment. Most of the time that's worked for me, except with the latest Dvha79_ddt 213 build, where it did that to me twice.
I never had done a hard-reset before this error.
The phone just didn't want to start anymore.
I'm too dumb to flash HardSPL... My PC says every time that he can't get the informations from my phone.
This normally occurs when the battery is completely drained... although saying that I havn't seen this issue with the Hermes..
Just out of curiosity, when plugging in power does the led near the speaker flash red once?
if so allow the phone to charge for at least 10 minutes, the orange charge light should eventually come on.
also charging with the mains lead instead of usb can sometimes rectify the issue. the best thing to do is not let it get below 10%.. always works for me
Cheers
Steve
I remember that the red LED flashed one or more times after I plugged it in to charge.
The phone charges normal, and the battery is at 100% after a hard-reset. It just doesn't boot.
I don't use the usb-cable to charge.
