Develop Bugs

Need some serious help PLEASE

Hi.
My power button broke off and I was not able to soder it and so now I can't turn it off or on. I have a app that will do this for me but what I really need is to put my xda IIs in BOATLOADER without the need to press, power,record button and soft reset. So I'm asking if anyone knows a way for me to do this without the power button. I have searched and seearched and I really need some help here. I'm running WM5 but I am having problems with the backlight and camera and some of my paid software that will not work. So I want to downgrade to the original rom.
I will be watching this post every hour or so, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

that happened to mine, do you want to just like hard resest your device? THe only way is probable to take your battery out and let the internal battery drain!
I took my phone to my local phone repair shop and they charged £15 to it, apparently it was really difficult to do!

Thanks for the reply andy! I thought this forum was way better than this in helping people out. I appreciate your response. I do know how to give it a hard reset by pressing the camera and record button as I do a soft reset. But what I am trying to do is to get my xda to the bootloader position so I can go back to windows 2003se. From what I have read you can only do that by pressing the power button and the other buttons I wrote above. I have no power button so I'm trying to find out another way to roll back to windows 2003se.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks again.

In the magician shipped-roms there's an executable to do this, maybe for your device too? If there's one you'll recognize it at once, just execute & its gone into Bootloader.
Regards, M

I looked and there is none in my ppc. I also copied that file over from a download I found here and it does not do anything. So far I have the WM5 running pretty fast, faster than ever! I just can't get the backlight to work and the camera. Tried every file and nothing gets this fixed. So I have to use my xda with the backlight in full brightness.
Btw, there is a way to hard reset the device so that it will run really fast. I probably will start another thread showing the steps, I think it is so worth doing it cause my xda now movew really quick.
Thanks for all the help!

Plese Help.....Blocked at the WM6 welcome screen

Thanks in advance,
I'm using the TNT 2.0 rom for hy hermes......I've been using the rom for a while with no prob. Today, I had to do a soft reset...my hermes stockes at the WM6 home screen page and does not want to acces windows.....What should I do....
Thank you fo the help.

i'm using spl2.10

sounds like you might have to do a 'hard reset'.
this will reset your ppc back to the base TNT rom you installed, so you'll have to reload everything you've put on since.
to perform a hard reset, hold down both left and right soft keys at the same time and stick the stylus into the hole in the bottom (where you'd do a soft reset) all at the same time.
to help you find out which program might be causing you problems, it's a good idea to load them one at a time and soft reset after each install.
good luck!

it should be a 3rd party caused this, what did you install??

Thanks for the help,
I did a hard reset....by holding the green and the red ( on / of ) phone and the soft reset....nothing, I did not load any 3rd party software....

I've seen the same thing on my Hermes, nothing installed. After 5 or 6 reboots, it hangs and that is the ball game.
I'm sorry I cannot offer any more information than that

is this means that my Tytn is gone. ! ! !
Can't I bypass the WM6 welcome screen and enter a ' safe mode' so I can
re-flash it?
Thanks for your assistance
PS. It's true, I just remembered that 2 weeks ago, I installed Skype as a thrid party

xda iis help needed.

hey guys..
i'm a new member to this site and i found the things talked about a lot interesting.
and would like to try out some of them but currently i think i'm in a diff situation wherein i have a xda iis (blue angel) which has traveled down my family chain for the last few years.
i have absolutely no idea about anything in it.
and somehow it is in bootloader mode through the execution of the enterbl.exe file.
now i'm unable to restart it by hard reset. and am unable to connect to it through mtty.exe
i was looking around in google until i stumbled on here. i did find the information valuable here. but i couldn't find the part to help me out.
has anyone faced such a situation.
i'd be greatful if u could plz help me out.....

We'll try ...
Hey attractiveaki,
Welcome to XDA-Developers forums
We'll sure try to help a fellow BA user get round their troubles!
So, tell us, what have you tried so far?
Have you tried the information on the following page?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners
And what about removing the battery overnight?
Watching and waiting...
Bird

thanks for the link but i already tried that...
i also tried to hard reset it a number of times but no use.
i tried to open it by connecting it to my laptop but i can't open it in mtty as well
gives an error that the port can not be opened.
also the bootlog mode automatically closes after a few mins and its difficult to come back to even this phase.
ryt now my cell is just completely switched off.
and another thing i had a windows mobile 2003 version not a windows mobile 5.
besides that i dunno anything ..
not even the language code or the area of purchase.
help me if u guys can..

How about this then ... ?
Try the following:
1) press the D-Pad centre button and then the mail button
2) press and hold the power button, then (keeping the button pressed) use the stylus to press the reset button - hold both for 30 seconds and release
Let us know what happens!
Bird

thanks for the tip but no use still....
i tried to remove the batterey overnight but its no use
then this method also is not helping.........
can i have it done at the local mobile shop.
or would that be useless as well...??

Only option

Looks like it's your only option now!
I'd check the prices for a BA on eBay first, just to make sure that you aren't paying anymore than that to have it fixed!?
Sorry I couldn't help

Whats happening with the S?
I had one in 2004 and sold it earlier this year.
Could be the battery is not holding it's charge?
Does it power on when connected to a USB port/mains?

Phone locking up upon starting

I upgraded to Kavanna's 6.1 version yesterday and it was doing ok for a couple of hours. I changed my internet setting to T-mobile then awhile later my phone started locking up. Now, I can get it to turn on and get pass the Windows Mobile green screen. I have called myself checking the stickys but haven't found a solution.
I was going to go back and install the 6.0 version from Tmobile but my phone can syncronize with the pc.
Any help would be very appreciated or the phone will be tossed.

I had this same sort of thing when I upgraded to Rickys v24_with Opera Rom. The only thing I can suggest is to try and boot up without SIM and SD card in with it connected to the PC. This may allow you to synch to the PC. If not there is a thread in the WIKI on how to hard reset your phone on boot up.

you didnt by any chance over clock it using omap to say 288mhz did you ?

I don't think so. Put it to you like this - if I did I didn't do it intentionally and don't remember seeing anything like that while making any changes. I would like to get it to a point where I can try to make a change to it. Like I stated - it won't get pass the windows mobile window and it just sits there. You can turn it off sometimes and others you have to take the battery out. I do not know how to do a hard reset or anything else.
Just call me a dumb blonde female! BUT I have researched and researched and have NOT given up the battle yet.
Thank you.

Try a hard reset - (If I remember it's like this)
1. hold the two soft keys down,
2. press the power button for two seconds (while still holding down the softkeys)
3. release the power button
4. wait a little more and release the softkeys

OK everyone I have tried & tried to execute the "hard reset" with no luck. Same as before - when it turns on it is a white screen with HTC and it's symbol THEN it goes into the green Windows Mobile screen and sits there without any functions whatsoever. I can turn it back off sometimes with the on/off button then other times you have to take the battery out to get it to turn off.
It is so frustrating but thank all of you for your help/tips.
Blonde-yes Dumb-yes! Apparently!!

you must not be performing the hard reset operation correctly then. Itf you do it right, you wont see the HTC screen first, you'll see a black screen with white text saying to press the send or the 1 key to perform a hard reset.. you may need to try it a few more times.
view this video of a dopod 720 ( same as the dash and excalibur for how to do this... the hard reset part is around the 1:30 mark )

I swear - that's exactly what I have been doing! I bet I have done it 100 times or close to it.
Thank you...

c'mon lucky 101!

More like "tired fingers"!! HeHe!
I'm not ready to give up - I'm too stubborn to let this beat me.

Update - I finally was able to reboot my phone last night after many many tries. It wasn't text book style but I kept pressing buttons until finally... AND NO is wasn't lucky 101!!! But you were definitely encouraging.
I haven't changed any settings because I'm scared to now.
Thank each of you for your kind replies and patience.

anything for a blonde.

I'm going to hold you to that!

Ummmm this isn't a dating forum lol
If i was you though, i would definitely clear storage command your phone.
Clears everything and hopefully reset the bug that was fondling with the wrong file.

back off..i saw her first.

LOL!!
I spoke too soon! My phone definitely has problems. If I can ever get back to the "hard reset" beginning again I will try to start from scratch. It has some bugs in it for sure.
Thank you for the suggestions.

Help for an beginner

I bought a 2nd hand XDA Orbit with all the correct software and that. I've had a problem with it before, nothing a good hard reset couldn't solve. But today, I did exactly the same thing for a hard reset, and now doesn't go past the O2 screen and just goes black!
I cannot hard reset again, and I cannot go into the bootloader (hold power + voice thing on the other side, push the reset with stylus and let go while still holding the buttons on either side). I'm rather scared I've bricked the device, but I am sure the previous owner did not load any unofficial ROMs and I haven't either and I still have the original WM2003 CD. Wouldn't be a problem if I eventually had to go to an O2 shop would it? Lets hope it can be sorted! And seeing as quite a few people have had this with varying degrees of sucess, I fear my luck may be out with this thing .
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Oh and I don't think my device i CID unlocked, does this matter?
Thanks in advance x

fixed
mods..can u please delete this now pointless thread!
it was down to my own stupidty...so thank you for the people working on a response...well if you were!
