Yesterday I installed the following .cab on my wizard:
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.
V

- 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.

password

i update wm6 but cant remember password is there away i can bypass the password option or reset it? on xda 2s

i have the same problem... my was was 1337.. and as secret question i had LEET ... so i could never mistake.. after 2 days 1337 wont work!
i need some help 2

i bet you guys changed battery without disabling the password check...
and havent read the forum for the same problems until now.
dont worry... i've been in the same situation...
Sad to say...
your password is LOST.
there are NO SOLUTIONS to revive your password.
but there are ways to save your storage data...
WARNING:
like i said it's sad to say because all your
customization will vanish alongside this procedure.
but you can still save some personal data.
SOLUTION:
press and hold the Camera + Record button
soft reset while holding them...
there will be a display of three items with a NO toggled default.
use the Camera button to toggle YES/NO
and use the record button to Cycle thru the menu list.
Hard Reset Using this option
1. - NO
2. - YES
3. - NO
option
this means you're just clearing up your registry
without touching your storage data.
then Press the Mail button
(second button from the left above your green key)
then if you booted the WM6 and inside it...
use some backup softwares to save your
data (SMS/Contacts/Emails/My Documents)
after you have backed up what you want backed up.
Hard Reset again then use NO/YES/YES or NO/NO/YES
to format your storage...
after the hard reset then reinstall everything again...
hope that helps.

Just to cofirm that the same thing happened to me shortly after upgrading to WM6. I was on a train on my way to a really important meeting.... Grrr.
I was just grateful for being able to save my data - the loss of cusomisations was the least of my worries!!
These days I don't password protect my device...

AT&T Tilt WM 6.1 Update Help

Hey! I just updated my Tilt to WM 6.1 using the link provided by AT&T (from HTC's website). It was working fine until I backed up all of my information using Sprite Backup. Now after the restart animation, my phone is showing a blank blueish black screen. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks!

I called HTC and I got it fixed. To fix this problem, turn the device on. Press both soft keys on the front of the phone while putting your stylist in the reset hole (above mini usb port). Keep the buttons held down and remove the stylist. If your phone resets, you didn't hold the buttons down enough. Then, you'll get a dialog about resetting the device. Press the send (green) button and start the reset process. If you want to use your Sprite backup, once you reset the device go to advanced options in sprite. When you restore, make sure that the box beside "system settings" or something like that is unchecked. Restore and viola! Yay!

Many problems after a Manilla2D/GPS job

Last night I installed Manilla2D, then the GPS - all worked excellent (didn't get satellites, but didn't go outside - beside the point), until I tinkered with the weather XML file and installed the rest of the files for M2D in the "Not necessary but recommended" folder. Having installed so much at once, I am not sure what caused this problem.
Problem: certain events aren't happening - weather module used to work with any city in the default list - now, clicking a city just brings me back to the screen that says "select a city", and the unresponsiveness continues to other programs. So I began uninstalling a couple that I thought may be the culprit, and now on startup, I get a "tap here to launch touchFlo". After tapping, it says launching, then it goes back to "Tap here to launch touchFlo...".
At this point, what do I do? So far I haven't done anything but install CAB files. Is there some way to just restore this to whatever state (even factory defaults, etc)?

you can go into settings and click on clear storage to reset everything. Keep in mind you will lose all personal data including contacts, so back every thing up.
You could also try going to settings then remove programs and start uninstalling programs one at a time untill you find the culprit.

Which update did you install? The latest is update 20, but update 21 is an elfin update so that's the one I picked. (The Elfin is a t least related to the vogue, update 20 is meant for ALL htc devices)
Another thing, what did you mean by "then gps"?
The proper order would be to have an upgraded radio first, then install M2D
The only known fool proof way to completely remove M2D itself is a hard reset. While this is true for M2D itself, you can try selectivley unloading the "extras" starting with the last and testing one by one.
BTW, a hard reset is done by holding the power and camera buttons down together while pressing the soft rest button.

HARD reset - changing phone

I've been trying to find the right information but struggling. I am having my Desire exchanged for a new one as mine has a minor fault. T-mobile have been great in getting this exchanged.
My issue is that I want to be able to store all my information somewhere first and I think I know how to do that on to the SD card.
My more important issue is to be able to delete all the information from the phone after my backup so things like my facebook details, gmail and everything else is deleted. Will a HARD reset do this and how do I do that? Is there a different way to perform a full reset to ensure everything is gone?
|Thanks...

Factory restore/hard reset, and then you'll need to format the SD card (or remove everything on it)

Turning automatic backup on:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data & settings.
3. Select or clear the Back up my data & settings check box to turn automatic backup on or off.
After you do a factory reset, your phone will restart and let you restore the saved data and settings in your storage card back to your phone.
Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
* Text and multimedia messages
* Settings in the Messages application
* Web bookmarks
* Keyboard dictionary
* Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
o Wireless & networks
o Sound & display
o Location
o Applications
o Date & time
o Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
Performing a factory reset (hard reset):
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on (factory settings).
Note: Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
This will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings:
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

No problem at all

Out of interest and as there have been few negatives about this phone, what was the fault you are exchanging for?
Thanks

I rang them up to say the battery life was absolutely dreadful. They said give it a few days to see if building up the charge for a few days combined with the "new phone and let's play with all the new features" syndrome settled the battery life. It hasn't and they suggested either sending a second battery or exchanging the phone. I went for the exchange....
Apart from that, the phone has been absolutely brilliant. Really pleased with almost everything. My only two hmmm's have been that skype don't do their own app for Android and that the F1 app for the iphone isn't available on android (despite its $29 cost!!!)

Thanks. I'll be real interested to learn if the exchange phone improves your bettery life - be sure to let us know!

I bought a HTC desire from Virgin mobile uk which uses t-mobiles network. I had problems with the browser force closing where it started and then quit. I spoke to HTC and then was advised to perform a hard reset using recovery mode. I put the phone in recovery and then immediately got a phone picture with the exclamation mark... i had to remove the battery and tried it again. same problem.
I have found that the second phone i had did exactly the same when i tried to put it in recovery mode..ouch

I'm going to do the backup first so I hope I'll have the info saved..... that's a weird problem you have.
I will let you know how I get on with the replacement but it will have to be when I get back from OZ......
I was hoping to find a pay as you go sim card to put in but my phone is locked to tMobile and also it seems in Australia their data plans are just not there yet...
