Hard Reset? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

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!

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.

Pocket Loox N560 stuck on boot screen. Won't start up

Does anybody know if there is a way to boot N560 using SD card? I think I killed my FS with some "rom killer" and all I get now is FS boot screen, no other activities.
Any way to start it from SD card and flash it from there?
Perhaps any other way to bring it back to life?
i have the same problem
is there anybody for help???
SOS please

You cannot burn the ROM from an SD card.
If the device has had the anti-theft password set at some stage then you cannot reburn the ROM! This might be the problem?
A hard reset on the N560 followed by running the Loox burn program on a PC with ActiveSync connection to the N560 cradle is the only answer i.e. a normal ROM burn.

Theft protection is not a problem here. It was wrong ROM and now it is stuck on boot screen, active sync does not see it at all, maybe there is a trick to somehow anable burn, flash, service mode on it? So far nothing helps....

GREAT!!!!
Thanks ever so much! You are real HELP!!!!
You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA.

You can if you use an translator like www.windowslivetranslator.com or translate.google.com
then it is pretty easy.
I've resolved...
Fully functional WM6.0 newplowe in English...
now I'm searching for editing it in Italian/French but I need to edit the rom part of the XIP (just that).
For doing that, I need to open decrypt the file .nbh file (don't really know howto, and newplow doesn't answer about that... ).
Hi everybody, I need your help. I spent 2 hours to read several posts about N560 brick recover, and I still can't figure how to do it.
I flashed the N560 with the WM 6.1 and then I tried to flash the backup Rom Image ... which failed. Now is stucked in the climbing image ... and is not reacting to nothing. I didn't try the mitty sol because I don't have a clear ideea about using it, I am still a newbie ...
Please, I am begging for help if you can , thanks

Try this?
Take the N560 off the cradle. Remove the battery for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert battery and back cover. Do not worry if the screen shows the dolphins again. Do a full hard reset to get back to factory setting i.e Simultaneously press and hold the Suspend/Resume button (1) and the Calendar application button (2). Briefly press the stylus tip into the soft reset opening (3). Continue to hold down the Suspend/Resume button and the Calendar application button for a few seconds. The reset can take a few minutes. At the end an acoustic signal sounds. Please follow the further instructions on the display.
A hard reset should put the device back to the existing (last burned ROM) and you can try the burn again.
You probably do not know why the burn originally failed. The most common reason is some interrupt of the processor (internet access, switch of all internet access) but more likely something is polling the USB port, which might be shared in the PC. My external USB TV tuner constantly polls the USB port and interrupts any transfers on other ports! I suggest that you disconnect all other USB devices and make sure that your N560 cradle is connected to a USB port directly on the motherboard of the PC (not a USB hub or expansion card with multiple USB ports).
Hope this helps.

Hi
I tried to upgrade to 128mb but after restart I see only climbing. I tried everything here but on dolphins afterr line is blue it is finished. that I am unpluging device. starting looxflastool for 560 and first is trying to connect by active sync and that when no connection made I see dolphins on left screen of flash tool window. than I am pluging again and after couple secs I see that: Error"The language in this Flash Image update (ENGLISH) differs from that on your device. I tried to change rom on every language but not working as well. PLEASE HELP!!
if that helps than i will add than on top when delfins i see on 560 is two lines. first is typed 2.14.G4 on second directly below is 2.15.
and when mtty 1.42 finishing flashing i see following:
Image Download Finish
OEMFlashWrite(A0000000h,8C200000h,0224002Ah)
Download Fails !!!
OEMFlashWrite error(12)
Error : DownloadImage return error (code = 0xFFFFFFFF)
I've done already procedure You've mentioned here with taking of the battery for at least 30 secs with hard reset afterwards but it is still climibing screen. Can U manage this as well???
THX
The most common error with the procedure is NOT making a proper or true hard reset, or back to factory settings reset. If you do it wrong, you will only achieve a soft reset, the same as you get if you just put the stylus in the reset hole in the base of the N560.
The correct procedure is to hold Power/Resume/Suspend button (on/off button) and the Calendar button simultaneously. Keep holding them and with the other hand press in the reset hole with the stylus. The screen should blank out. KEEP holding the other two buttons all this time, and release the stylus. KEEP holding those two buttons until the screen display returns, only then release them.
This should allow another burn.
I hope this is the problem. It has happened to me and others, so I think I am right. But if this fails, you may need another approach.

Really need someones help <------

This problem started yesterday.
All of a sudden i cannot access my settings at all.
I need to to a hard reset but when i go to the start menu and click settings, nothing.
i've tried leaving the battery out but i don't know how long the back up battery lasts.
Is there any other way to do a hard reset?
"Is there any other way to do a hard reset?"

Its sorted now anyway, i have the omnia
and if anyone wants to know how to hard reset then here ya go:
1. turn the phone off.
2. hold the power/call/end buttons for about 5 secs.
3. you will be asked if you want to format, this will only format the phone memory not 'my storage' or 'storage card'.
4. press the call button to format and hey presto working omnia again.
