Question concerning the use of the tool "soft reset" - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello,
a few days ago I recognised the implemented feature "Soft Reset Device". (In Joshkoss Rom etc...)
Does this Application can cause data loss?
Is it better to make a normal shutdown and then power on again in order to restart the device?
Please Help!

Only if the you havn't saved data program(s) you are using. It's the same as rebooting windows on your PC.

HI,
so if no data or program is opened I can just tick the button and the system gets no internal failure message or something like this, right?
I just want to be sure that I do not not crash the system while using soft reset.

Without looking the Soft Reset should just call the Windows API to Reset the Phone, so nothing will be lost / broken, etc.

Ok, thank you for your help!

Does using Clear Storage delete my Call Timers?

Does anyone know if the Clear Storage will actually reset the total call timer? It says that its supposed to revert back to factory settings. But i'd like to be safer than sorry.
Thanks
i don't know about it for sure, but i did clear storage yesterday and i installed my trinity with the new rom and it did erase the call timers

By clear storage do you mean your sd card ?
If yes, it won't clear your call timer.
If you mean hard reset, then yes it will erase all datas. But you can do a pimbackup and you'll restore it again.

Really? I was told that Clear Storage is just a hard reset - which shouldn't affect the call time which is stored somewhere else in the eeprom....

You are right. the call timers never go zero, even after flash.
Maybe there is some special thing that can erase them
For completly reset the call timer's you have to install Olipro hard-spl 1.30 based on an MFG and have rtask commands enabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1188555&postcount=1
After that go to mtty and:
rtaskb
ate1
atv1
[email protected]=270f,270f
You have to see:
OK
retuoR
task8 (for reset the device, or press the reset button)
After that the call timer's in device information have to be at zero!
If you whant to reset it in the os to you have to delete all the keys in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\CumulativeCallTimers\Line_0
Thank's.

If you do just the registry trick the the call timer's will be reset but only at the os.
It is like when you flash a new rom.
But in the device information the call timer's will be the same.
Thank's
ahhhhhh ic maybe my call timer is set back to 0 because i installed olipro 1.2.. or maybe u can do the registry.. but i don't know how...
cheers
If i do the whole lot will i loose my Network settings? (the handset is unlocked from the Network supplier)

Hard Reset?

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

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!

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.

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.

Eten x610

Hello,
I Have A Glofiish x610,
This Time When I Had A Hard Reset, It Hangs While Installing The Rom Softwares, So I Soft Reset The Device...
It Doesn't Load!
It Can't Be Hard Reset Too!
I Downloaded The exe File From Glofiish.com For Updating The Os But It Needs Active Sync! My Device Doesn't Load So I Can't Use Active Sync
Please Help Me
hi there
try thees Steps
1. Run the ROM update program on your PC and go through the installation process until your reach the ‘End User Update‘ window. Leave this running.
2. Go to the Temp file in your Documents. This is usually C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp but it really depends on how you set up Windows.
3. Look for these 2 files, temp.dat (about 60 MB) and USBDLUpdate_Console.exe (about 4 KB) and copy them to your formatted SD Card using a card reader. You might want to copy these files to another location on your PC before copying it to your card reader if there are problems. Also, rename temp.dat to temp.bin before proceeding to the next step.
4. Put this card into your device and put the device into Bootloader mode. This can be done by pressing (and holding) the power button and voice commander key and then soft resetting. When it restarts, you can remove the stylus but keep your hold on the power and voice commander buttons.
5. The installation will proceed but at a slower rate than if you did it on your PC. This is due to the slower transfer rate between the card and device. It might take about 15-30 minutes so it would be best if your device was connected to the mains charger.
6. Installation is complete when you see this message “USB host is not connected yet“. This is your sign to do a soft reset and setup your device as the ROM installation was successful.
***
you may use this rom
http://rapidshare.com/files/314654442/Eten_X610_WWE.7z
just rename temp.dat to temp.bin put in formatted sd card
and go threw steps 4 to 6
any how you are welcome to
