You could always try a hard reset using the hardware buttons like it tells you in the User's Manual from HTC's site.

Hi,
Today I'm trying to update my T-Mob Vario 2. I want to put a new ROM on it. Anyway, I read it's better to upgrade using an SD card instead of using USB.
I don't know if the updating process really succeeded. When the bootloader says: "Update complete". What do I have to do? A soft reset? Or what?
I tried to install Hard SPL v7 and I want to check if it's really installed. What's the best way to check this?
Thanks!
(and yes, I've read the FAQ/Wiki)

if you read the wiki you would know how to SPL on your hermes go back and read some more!
Ah, mrvanx's guide didn't work for the last 2 hours but it's working right now. I'll read some more over there.
But my real question was: What do you do when your device says: "Update complete". A soft-reset?
it will soft reset itself and u'll get the "tap screen to start" screen...
you can check yr spl by going into bootloader mode (hold the power and OK button below the scroll wheel and poke the stylus into the soft-reset hole and hold it there for a while).. to exit just poke yr stylus into the hole again..
that didn't sound quite right hahaha!

yup. it should auto SR, but if it doesn't, help it along
Nice!
I needed an hour of 5 to read some stuff and to unlock my device, make it Hard SPL and put Black 3 on it
(Yeah, for the first time )
Thanks XDA Community!
does anyone actually see a big difference between the roms as we keep flashing, i've flashed like 8 or so roms, and the only things i see different are from wm5 to wm6.....
just seeing how every1 else feels towards it and whether i should keep playing w/ it over and over...
btw... does anyone know why my wm6 always goes to the today screen after i wake it up again? it's not the today timeout option under settings.... so yeah... i thought a registry edit may have something to do it
I always upgrade from SD (seem faster than USB) and it never auto-softresets, so I manually do it with stylus. Never had problems.
hopefully someone can help, ive searched to no avail...
so thursday last week i updated my rom to another rom, which i didnt like so tried another windows mobile 6.5 which i didnt like also. so i eventually decided to go back to my old rom, wm6.1 as i liked that.
so i used activesync to go back, and the phone was back to normal. but for some reason it kept crashing and i did a soft reset, and it proceeded to do a hard reset.
this in fact happened twice, so i thought ok may be the flash was bad.
i downloaded another copy of the rom and updated again.
SAME problem. random crashes, and i lose the control of the phone. i cannot turn off. this time i decide to remove and reinstall the battery. when the phone powers on, it decides to do a hard reset again...
i decide that may be the rom i downloaded was bad from source, so i decide to pick another and use for a few days to see. so i try the latest wm6.5 out now, and whenever i connect to pc it gives me the option to use activesync but i can never connect!!
eg, the "my computer" never shows the 4gb or the phone storage... it only shows it if i pick "disk drive" when i plug in the usb,,
this means i cannot load most of the roms so i cannot pick one.
may be is there a way i can completely wipe the phone memory and then use the hard reset plus back button to load a new rom from the 4gb??
im thinking that may be there are some old files stuck.
i think this because when i plug in the usb it gives me a menu, and the font type and size is nice. i restarted the phone, and now the usb menu font size and type has changed to a really square looking type.
im lost :/
thanks for your help

thank you. the first link you posted links to a topic which is the exact problem i am having.
also, my instinct was that some files were left behind - i wasnt far off.
now, i need to go and find out how to do this. i had a friend do it all for me, so im a complete noob.
im thinking i should have left well alone!
edit:: any ideas how i get into bootloader mode?
EDIT2:: VOL DOWN & Red RESET
this did not fix my activesync issue...

You could also try flashing a stock ROM first and then flash back to custom ROM. This has worked for me in the past.

thanks you are very helpful. i just came back here to edit my previous post but you beat me to it.
i did this and now it detects windows again. however im really unsure as to why this has now happened. but at least its working.
i hope i dont have any more random crashes and resets... i even thought it may be my PIM backup being restored, so i did a hard reset and format and lost lots of things :/ i even lost some girls numbers as they were in text messages..
oh well, a working phone is more important anyways
thanks for all your help! much appreciated.
i just wanted to come back and say that this has seemed to have fixed the issue. there has not been one single hic-cup, or crash of ANY program on the phone since i did this and re-loaded the rom.
i would also like to say that the phone seems a LOT faster than before. this is the exact same rom i used before, and while when i first used this it was definately an improvement from the sluggish stock rom. however, what i am experiencing now is better still..
if these are the benefits you get from doing a format of the phone, then before i load each rom i might do this first. i see two benefits:
old files wont be there to conflict with the new rom,
the feel of the phone is improved.
i suppose the downside is the limitations on the memory itself. but that would be years before this would be met - i hope anyway.
I cant seem to figure out why but KforTP has stoped working, I did the clear storage thing because I caused my File Browser to stop working every time I would load it.
During the first install of the KforTP cab it said found BAHBAH.dll(Cant rememebr what it was). After I cleared storage and reinstalled the cab there was no msg saying found suchandsuch.dll. I think this might have something to do with it.
Also KforRaphael does not work either.
Is there anywhy to reformat the Touch Pro 2 to factory settings using something other then clear storage. I dont think this method changes EVERYTHING back.
I would the stock rom off HTC's site to do it on my Mogul but as there have been no updates for the TP2 I cant do it that way. Is there anyway to get the stock rom from HTC and reload it?
BTW I have the sprint TP2 usa version.
Does any one know how to reset KforTP? I dont understand why it stopped working do I need to do a reg fix I dont understand what I need to do to get this working again.
Anyone?
OK well I figured it out, just hit the send and end buttons togeather and hold them down with the power button held down and it hard resets the phone.
Most people are going to be like DUH, but I didnt know I could do that.
I was not the only user having this problem. There was actually a bounty set for a fix, but I havent seen one yet. Flashed Energy Rom Sense 2.5 and 2.1, provisioning didn work, and neither did cab install for correct key layout. Numbers still across the top row, and most symbols still incorrectly mapped. Seems to be first tilt configuration and nothing will change it back.
The strange thing in my case was before I ever flashed ANYTHING SPL, ROM radio...anything...,(bone stock) my HW keyboard would auto remap to these settings out of nowhere. Two different devices had this problem, i took the first one back, and this one being the second. a soft reset would set configuration back to stock before flash, but now even the cabs available will not change anything. I got a $20 for a .cab fix or a detailed xplnation of how to fix this, and have the entire HW keyboard mapped in english and to at&t tilt 2 configuration that will work on this device
Please Forgive the rant in the prior post concerning this issue, as this has become quite frustrating lol, and I have owned every HTC device at&t has sold and loved em all, but had to hunt fixes for every single one. Ive learned a lot in the process, but sometimes time is limited to be able to constantly search for what would seem to be a simple fix. If you will notice, for as long as long as I have been a member of this great community, I have made very few posts, and asked few questions on my different devices ...I read searched and read some more. I had xda google search as my homepage for a loooong time, help on this issuue would be greatly appreciated!!!
What cab did you use? There's a few floating around. I've tried dozens of roms and only seen this issue with one or two ROMs (both 2.5 roms) but went away after a hard reset. Are you hard resetting your device after flash?

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I thought it odd not to have to do a hard reset as left out in tutorial. I should have done it out of habit from flashing kaiser, and fuze, but no. I did not hard reset. I will try a new flash and do the reset this time. Hopefully thats all thats the problem! thank you very much, and cross your fingers for me lol. If it works I will def keep my word on 20!

Just to help troubleshoot after you hard reset just install whichever keyboard cab you're using, soft reset, and test it out before installing anything or syncing.
thank you thank you thank you!
I cant believe thats all it was! Even more so I cant believe I didn even try the H R after flash. I never once failed to do this when flashing any other device, I guess b/c it was in the directions for noobs to do so in other forums, lol may ought to suggest adding it to the dir for flashing tp2 lol!
THANK YOU BIGTIME, once again! I had become frustrated after tryin multi cabs and reading where it worked for everyone else. all i did was re flashed, h-reset. cab was in uc folder, but that didn work, ended up using att provisioning provided by NRG, and there she was...working like a charm again!
Glad to hear it worked! Thanks for following up to, you're the first person with this issue I've tried helping that actually posted a followup.
Hi,
So I have a rather unheard of problem. I was given a phone from a friend before they moved out of state and have no way of contacting them anymore. I turned it on and it had a pass code so i just figured i would do a factory reset ( or what i assumed to be a factory reset) using the buttons on the phone. I used the recovery menu to get to the screen that gave me the options to wipe data, or install update from apk, or factory reset the phone so i used the volume buttons and clicked reset. I let the phone do its thing and when it turned back on it goes to the google factory reset protection page saying i need to login using a google account that was previously used on the phone before the reset. FML! i used the talk back option to be able to access the settings menu and figured i would just do the reset from the settings menu. This is were all of my problems begin!! I can access the settings menu and get to the back up & reset and then click the the Factory reset option. However, the factory reset screen has a button at the bottom of the screen that says Reset Phone and when I click the Reset phone button, absolutely nothing happens. (It makes a click sound but it doesn't do anything at all)
The Other Problem!!: For some unknown reason i cant seem to access the developer options and enable USB debugging. even after i put the phone in safe mode i still could not get the developer options to appear. I have no clue what i am doing wrong but i feel like i am running into a brick wall and not matter what i click or press the phone just will not do what it is suppose to do! I tried every way I can think of to enable USB debugging but, no matter how many times I try to click Build Number or Build Version ( whatever it is exactly called, hopefully you can understand what I mean) nothing happens! I have tried to install a USB debugging app from a qr code but it won't read the qr code from the camera app. I was able to access the camera app using the same talk back trick that i used to get into the settings. I keep telling myself if only i knew about the talk back trick to get into the settings menu before i stupidly reset the phone when i first saw the pass code. So I am hoping that a google FRP Bypass program will work and help me make the phone usable again!! Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?? I am open to all ideas.
So far i have come up with a few ideas but idk if any of them are even possible to accomplish! Can someone help me out and tell me if any of the following options are even possible and whether or not it will be helpful and make the phone usable so i can have a cell phone again. Please, Please can someone help me!! Ideas:
1.) Use a Google Factory Reset Protection Unlocking program.
2.)Somehow completely delete the entire phone and reinstall the marshmallow android OS, like when you would do a fresh clean install of windows on a PC, (IDK if this is even possible but i am assuming it should be)
3.) Rooting the phone and finding a new custom ROM. ( I haven't even done anything like or close to rooting a phone, but im guessing it cant be that hard, right? Google and YouTube have vast amounts of tutorials........, hopefully,....right?
4.) I have backups of my older phones that i am wondering if it would be possible to use one of the backups i have saved and somehow putting it on the phone as a way to get pasted the FRP lock? I haven't a clue if the backups are only usable to the specific phones that created them or if they can be used on any phone?
5.) Downgrade the Android version to a older version that doesn't have the FRP lock, then once i have access into the phone i can just upgrade the phone after i logging into my google account.
6.) You know how Windows PC have the restore option in the settings so you can go back to a previously made restore point? Like turning back the clock so to speak, Is this option available or does it even exist at all on Android? I was thinking if it does i can just simply store the phone back to before i stupidly reset it and then use the trick to bypass the screen lock code and use the settings to do a hard reset ( I really don't think this option even exists or is possible but im literally at the point of willing to try and do absolutely anything to be able to have a phone again! Please and thanks! It is a ZTE Z837VL and it is Android marshmallow, Android Version 6.0.1 (I'm not sure if the
Android version matters or not?)
Thanks. Also If this is the wrong place for this post then please just let me know where the correct spot is to post and i will quickly fix it!! I am new to the site and I have read alot of posts and truthfully, feel like i have overwhelmed myself with trying to make sure i do things the way its supposed to be done. I know many most likely ALL of the members on this site are advanced and way more knowledgeable about the mobile phone information. I do know alot of computers and I have alot of programming experience but i have only focused on PCs and am just starting to learn what i can about mobile development.
Thanks again for helping me and sharing whatever you can with me to help solve things. I am really hoping not to end up with a paperweight haha!!
