Originally everything worked fine... then I insralled some other version of OPERA. wasn't good for me so I uninstalled it.
NOW the zoombar doesn't work !
can anyone help ?
sounds like you might have to flash it but only if nothing else works. Try restoring factory settings if you can first.
flash what ? the ROM ? I would rather avoid that...
how do you restore factory settings ? Hard Reset ?
sorry, totally didn't mean flash, hard reset was what i meant to say.
on previous windows phones it was done by holding the power+windows+another soft key on the TP2 its probably the back key. but as i said before search the forums first, as i've never done it on TP2 before.
Hi,
Found a similar thing on mine when I tried out the latest version of Opera, 8.65 I think- seems it doesn't have support for the zoom bar.
You could hard reset as follows (from the Wiki)
Hard Reset (This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging)
* With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
* "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
* Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
* Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

However, the original Opera is probably still there, as I discovered by a bit of fiddling about. If you create a shortcut to \Windows\OperaL.exe you should find it works.
Its a hidden file, but I was able to find it using Resco Explorer with the right settings. (running Opera9.exe didn't work for me for some reason, although that seems to be the main program file).
Hope that helps.

Friends,
I've just joined the forum. My HTC touch has just been locked itself and I can't unlock it because I didn't set a password. I still can receive calls but can't make calls, the screen is password screen, nothing else. I can't shut it down without removing the battery.
I tried PIN, PUK, IMEI, 0000, 1234, etc but didn't work. I tried soft reset but didn't help. Tried hard reset but it didn't reset. I tried the SIM card in other phones, it works, thus, the problem is the device.
Any help will be appreciated...

You want to double check about that hard reset. I think you've probably only done a soft reset. A hard reset will reset the machine back and wipe off ALL your data and settings, including the password.
The front screen password of which you are referring to NOT any of the ones you have listed, but instead it is something you would have set when setting up the device.
Have a try with some of your usual passwords
I have tried hard reset (pushing green and red buttons at the same time pushing the reset button with its own pen) but, didn't reset (since there appeared no message on the screen like "the data will be lost"). I think those two buttons are not functional because of password. Every time I tried hard reset it has done the soft one.
thanks anyway

I'd suggest you query this in the HTC Touch forum rather than the General Forum for everything, as they have more intimate knowledge to help you
Hi there, my HTC touch just did the same today. I never set a password.
I contacted my IT guy and he mentioned the following:
Try number 1 once, and then tap unlock.
WORKED BRILLIANTLY!!
The HTC Touch does that all the time.
All you need to do is hold down the Send and End Call buttons down firmly and push the stylus up in the little hole near the usb port (Reset Button) and wait till the screen says that the phone is going to format and all data will be lost press the soft key to continue. Then when it says that press the center button and it will show Fat formatting and Rom formatting. This will erase all data on your touch so make sure you back up.
After turn on the phone and go through the set up and it should be perfectly ok.
You can do this for two reasons.
1. To reset the phone locks.
2. To repair the touch screen if it stops working.
Hope this helps. Enjoy
Dotybizz, I guess the O/P wanted a way to recover without wiping his data. However, due to the security reasons I'm sure you know about often that isn't a suitable option.
Not working

for hard reset press volume down button + center button + red reset button
A Hard Reset restores the device to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
There are 2 ways to perform a Hard Reset on this device:
Menu path
* 1. From the Today Screen, go to Start>Settings.Select the System Tab and then tap on Clear Storage.
* 2. Enter in the password provided on the display of the device (should be 1234) and tap Yes.
* 3. The device will begin the Master Reset Process.
Keystroke Method
* 1. Power the device off.
* 2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Center Navigation Button at same time, do not release.
* 3. Press Power button and hold for a 3 count (quickly - say one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three). 1-2 seconds is too short, 4-5 seconds is too long.
* 4. The screen will instantly show the text to hard reset (this is a white screen with Blue text that provides the next steps to complete the Hard Reset. If you do not get this screen, power the device off and try again).
* o Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data is backed up before proceeding.

So both of you guys/girls are posting on a thread that has no had any activity on almost a year, eh?
Hello.
I'm trying to give my BA a hard reset.
Getting in the debuggers screen is no problem but leave it is a problem!
When i set the options right i have to push the mail button to leave the menu but nothing happened when i push this button.
How can i leave this menu and apply the hard reset ?
So for now i can't do anything with my phone because i have to give it a hard reset after upgrade to WM6.1.
Thanks.
Sorry this isn't a solution,but I can't hard reset with POWER+RESET,it just resets normally,but leaves all the rubbish on I'm trying to get rid of,so I would really like an alternative reset method.Help me too!
Just minutes later I found this,which formats BA:
1) Camera + Record + Reset
2) Enable KITL NO
Clean Reg Hive YES
Format Storage YES
3) the action button on the middle of the direction pad
(the action button in the middle of the direction is not working but the button which is is the Message Button)
I had to do this because POWER+RESET doesn't work on mine-hurrah,I am happy again!

my email botton is n't work tooooo
toooo bad!!!!!
Hello helpers, I have multiple problems with my orbit, though its all probably linked and therefore one problem.
first of all the darn thing crashes all the time, but I was okay with that, all i had to do was reset then reset the date and time. However after one of these crashes I now get
" The file 'MSPOUTLOOK' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
and everything I try and do it has a new one, like contacts is " The file ':MSCONTACTS' cannot be opened................etc"
So i resigned myself to having to do a hard reset, but oh no it does not work.
Can someone at least confirm that the procedure is supposed to be, hold down the power button, then press in the reset button for 5 seconds? If that is the procedure, all that happenes is, as soon as i press in the reset button (with the power button already held down) it just does a soft reset and I'm in the same position.
It wont connect to my pc so theres no way of flashing firmware or any such action Hopefully someone can help, thanks very much, Paul.
Hard reset procedure:
- Hold down both soft keys
- Press the reset button once using the stylus
- Release the soft keys
- Press the green send button when the following message appears:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Sent to restore manufactures default, or press other keys to cancel.
Goog luck!
Sorry to be a pain, but that didn't work either, I presume by soft keys, you mean the ones with just a '-' on them just below the screen next to the jog wheel. I have a feeling there is going to be no way to sort this now. When I try what you said it just resets stright away as soon as the reset button is pressed, Thanks, Paul.
okay i did finally get it to work !!!!
Good to hear. Hope everything works fine after the hard reset!
After having thoroughly read the 280 pages of the UM of my Rhodium, I've tried several times (three digits number !) to hard-reset my machine, but alas, without success.
I've tried every possible combination of ON/START/STOP buttons but none works.
I either happen to make the message "do you want to switch off your mobile" (in french, as French am I) or the menu to activate ringer/vibrator etc to appear, but never ever got the ability to hard-reset my unit.
What's wrong with me/my Rhodium ?
Thx in advance mates !
Instructions on how to hard reset are in the wiki. Don't know what these "ON/START/STOP" buttons you mentioned are. The buttons involved in making a hard reset are the Power, Call Send, and Call End keys.
Alternatively, you can go to "Clear Storage" in your settings and follow the directions on screen.

You do know that you need to turn off the device first? Alternatively, do a "clear storage" as mentioned above, if you still have access to your device.

Yes, I do know, thank you for your response, and I tried either way unsuccessfully !
I do have access to my machine but needed it to be fully reset.
"clear storage" works fine, but that does not explain me why the "three finger salute" fails...
You are keeping the SEND and END keys down whilst you turn the POWER on aren't you? then releasing only when you see the tricolour screen
I updated the wiki page the other day to make the steps a bit clearer.
Give it antoher go .

Problems with Hard Reset on a Verizon Touch Pro 2
Hi Guys,
I've had my Verizon version of the phone since the beggining of the week and I cannot make a Hard Reset work either. The combination of Send/End/Power buttons do not work, and on my Verizon version there is no "Clear Storage" item under the system tab in settings. I've watched the U-Tube clip in the Wiki, and I note that HTC's site for the Verizon variant refers to using "Clear Storage".
Looking in the Windows directory there is a Clear Storage html file but there is no ClearStorage.exe. I have extracted a ClearStorage.exe from my Tilt and inserted it into the Windows directory of the Touch but to no avail.
Does anybody have a fix for this? Could this be another "exclusion" by Verizon to stop us working with our phones?
Sorry to insist, but you have turned the device completely OFF, right? So it's not just in "stand by/screen off" power saving mode, but completely off? So that when you press the power button, the phone starts loading WM etc.
Again, sorry to insist, but I couldn't figure out any other reason for the hard reset not to work.
Don't mind you insisting because this issue is stupid. Yes I have turned the phone completely off by pressing the End button until the phone states "Your phone will be turned off. Press No to cancel.
When I attempt the Hard reset it the phone merely restarts regardless of how long I press the buttons.
All this would not be so much of an issue if "Clear Storage" was available. Short of waiting for the first cooked ROM (and therefore Hard SPL) to appear for the CDMA phones, is there any way to put that back? Obviously it requires more than copying the .exe to the windows directory. My Tilt has a 6.5 cooked ROM. Is is possible that the .exe is slightly changed in that one vs 6.1?
Other Verizon phone owners - can you confirm that the "Clear Storage" is missing?
Edited:
On my Verizon, the Clear Storage is on the System tab, under 'Memory'. Select 'Memory' and select the Clear Storage sub tab.
Taken from ppcgeeks:
FOR VERIZON TP2 ONLY (Sprint & GSM have different settings)
Soft reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hit the end key to start your phone. You can also hit the reset button under the battery cover.
Hard reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hold volume down, send and end till you see blue text. Follow hard reset prompts.
Security
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, hold vol down and end to get to security(rainbow screen).

I just confirmed that this works on a Verizon phone. I got the hard reset prompt with this key sequence.
For Verizon users that want to do the clear storage through the OS, it's located under Memory in Settings on the Clear Storage Tab.
Settings -> All Settings -> Memory -> Clear Storage
Happy formatting :-D
Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone for resolving this.
This is what HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon) site says under FAQ "General & Others":
"Q. What does a Hard Reset do and how is it performed?
A hard reset removes all information from your device and returns it to a state just like it has never been used before. All contacts, messages, emails, 3rd party applications, etc. will need to be reinstalled after performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, navigate to Start > Settings > All Settings > System (tab) > Clear Storage. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete. This process will take 5-10 minutes".
Clearly no reference to being under the Memory Icon. The link is:
http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=294&cat=90&id=110490&f=t
Could we ask the moderator to arrange for the Wiki to be updated for the CDMA vcersions?
I have a Verizon TP2. Clear Storage on my phone is located at Settings/Memory and then the Clear Storage Tab. It asks you to enter a number to reset your phone and restore Verizon default settings.
Edit: Bah, guess I didnt see the second page )
Hi. I have a problem with Touch Pro 2. There is stock rom, never updated. But system is behaving very bad. Even touch works only when it wants (maybe physical damage, but I want to have new WM). But installation stops at 1% and phone reboots. Problem is that I have set a password on WM. There is a problem with touch in menu, so I can't remove it. May that be the problem that this secure makes flashing even stock roms impossible? I have no free SD, so only flash via RUU.

Have you tried a hard reset? I believe it's called "Clear Storage" from settings.
Or hold talk/send + power + vol down while the device is OFF.
I can't clear storage because touch is broken in menu. That's why I want to reinstall it.

Keystroke Method
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
2. This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Vol Up to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME DOWN, TALK/SEND, and END/POWER buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to restore the operating system to the factory default configuration, press the VOLUME DOWN button to restore the factory default configuration and remove any operator customization, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
