So I am working with Spaatie on upgrading my iPaq hx2495b. We have encountered a problem that he has never seen before. When I press:
Contacts + iTask + reset (with sylus), the screen will fade out the windows screen towards white, but continue till black (but lit). It never goes all white for but a split second.
I hit calender, but it wont connect at all, and his ROM wont find my iPaq (error 503: activesync error).
So, is there something I am missing? I have tried just tapping everything, holding down for 3 to 5 seconds, holding down for 60 seconds, but I get the exact end results each time.
I have also performed a hard reset to remove any added programs, still getting the same results. So, any help would be appreciated!

I have followed instructions on the wiki until step 11 (after upgrade rom process). Then step 11 says:
"Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
"
My O2XDAIIs shows 4 color stripes (blue, green, red and white) but I did press Record+Camera or Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time hundreds times but nothing happen . If i press 4 buttons at the same time, my O2 shows "Serial" text. Now I stuck at here and my O2 turned to an useless box. Please help!!
Change ROM to 1.8
nemchua make sure you press and hold Softreset+Camera+Record for a few seconds rather than just press and release.
i'm stuck here as well - & ive also literally tried lots of times!! help!

This is the bootloader, when you see "serial", you should plug it on to your computer.
so you should not be here.
You should make the hard reset like in wm2003,
Now before the rom version shows up! you must press record and camera. and hold them pressed. till the screen shows up.
if you can do that within a second, (do some exercieces with it), because our hands are to lump to do this the first time.
nope - as stated - have really honestly tried this - & it doesnt happen!
got this working on my BA after all your helpful advice lol
flashed the 1.40 imate rom on first - then WM5.
I could then proceed with the old button presses.
(However, didnt really like WM5 so downgraded almost straight away )
Try to downgrade using this ROM file:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
then upgrade again. worked for me. had the same prob.
Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it
I purchased a T-Mo Dash off of eBay and when booting the phone it freezes at the T-Mo splash screen. Is this an easy fix?
I'm coming from a Blackberry so I don't know much about WM yet.
You can try removing the micro-sd card before turning on your device.
If this doesn't help maybe a hard reset can fix the problem:
1. press both softkeys (the ones on both sides of the direction pad)
2. while keeping the keys pressed, pres the power button for approx. 1,5 secs.
3. still keep the softkeys pressed until a message appears, which gives you instructions to reformat the device
good luck
My Touch Pro 2 kept reverting to the TouchFlo home screen within a couple of seconds of opening other applications (eg. click on a new email, and a second later it goes to TouchFlo. Soft resets didn't make any difference: nor did disabling TouchFlo (from the Settings/Today/Items menu) - it then just reverted to the Windows home screen instead. So I tried to hard reset the machine. I read that the way to do it is to hold send+end+power, but that didn't do anything. Some posts suggested that volume down+reset was the way to do it, so I tried that. I've now got a tricolour screen, which starts:
RHOD100 32M MI-BC
SPL-0.84.0000
A bit more searching suggests that this is the bootloader (?) screen that comes up when you want to flash a ROM, and I feel dangerously close to doing something expensive and irreversible. Any suggestions as to how to get out of this screen? Nothing obvious when I search the forums here. I was thinking of just taking out the battery. And any thoughts on how to hard reset - or how to stop deal with the original problem?
Thanks
You ain't going to mess anything up. You can flash a new rom from there though but there is no way to do it by accident. Don't you hard reset by holding down the green and red call buttons and soft reseting? I remember it being different from the Touch Pro 1.
you might head over to the rom section, read up on the "flashing your phone for the first time" thread. Answer is most likely in there.
Thanks for coming back so quickly guys. The ROM flashing thread didn't explain how to get out of the tricolour screen. Meanwhile I just took out the battery and that did the trick. I still couldn't hard reset using the send+end+power buttons as instructed here and in the manual. I was able to get to the Settings/System/Clear Storage menu and was eventually able to keep it open for long enough to enter "1234". That hasn't dealt with the original problem, though - switching back to TouchFlo after a couple of seconds in each application. It's also beeping incessantly. Any ideas?
It sounds like your device is registering a phantom End key press every couple of seconds. That would explain it popping you out to the home screen and the beeping. If your End key is indeed acting weird, that would also explain why you can't hard reset using the power+send+end key combination.
You should send it in for warranty replacement...

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Now that you mention it I realise that it's the same kind of beep and the same result as the End key.
I've only had it for 2 months. I'll get on to HTC.
I have a problem with my bro's Kaiser. He was pulling off the battery a lot and finally his kaiser won't boot...
There are some strange things happening though. First of all when the phone is turned off and user charges the phone:
1) yellow led turns on(and it stays like that for about 10-15 seconds)
2) yellow led turns of(for about 2 seconds)
3) the whole screen flashes white for less than a second
4) go back to 1)
It seems the battery isn't charging then.
Furthermore I cannot get into bootloader menu(the tri-colored menu) no matter what I do... Tried holding camera and power, holding the stylus in the hole and holding camera+power...
When turning on during smart mobility screen radio, SPL etc. infomration doesn't appear, then when linux texts start to run trough screen the phone resets after few seconds, even on battery from my kaiser.
I haven't been using android on Kaiser for looong time and I don't remember which button to hold to get into that menu with "holt alt+something to do something", I don't remember how it's called and failed while searching the information.
Can anyone help me? I want to boot the android, just that...
