I had to turn off my Htc Tilt 2 because t froze (I do this all the time by the way) But this time when I turned it back on, the lock screen wallpaper was a different color, and when I tried my password it didn't work, Now I;m not retarded (In know my password and I tried to eneter a lot of times) and I even tried "0000" cause that's ususally the default password. I also tried to hook it up to the computer to reset it or soemthing and I cant use it on the computer cause I have to unlock the phone first (Prett stupid) And I tried to soft reset it (Take the battery, press the reset) and that didn't work, What do I do?
I had the same issue....after many attempts to fix w/o a hard reset, I realized it was my only option...
To perform a Tilt 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see message on the screen.
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Yep, hard reset is your only option. There are many, many reports of TP2/Tilt2 mysteriously forgetting unlock passwords. Personally, I wouldn't use one with this phone.
Next time use a different lock app like S2U2. If you require enterprise level security on your device, then don't use it. As a general lock, it's wonderful, though.

What happens when you take away the battery and plug it again.
Then You try to boot, it works ?

To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears.

Hi.....
I have an wm6 xda with a broken mail button and I'm trying to hard reset it for upgrading. Is there a possible way to do the upgrade with the button while using windows 7 (using WMDC) or I need XP to do it.
Another problem with my BA is
1. If I slide it up, the screen will be distorted and will fade to white.... (Is this a Hardware problem??)
2. My stylus always point is not accurate in one point (the right side).
Are you trying to do the hard reset before or after you flash the ROM? You enter the bootloader first(Record + Power + Reset) Then flash it. Then after its done you press power + record. That should be it. You only need the mail button to do a wm6 hard reset without upgrading the ROM
1. That sounds like a hardware problem
2. Maybe try aligning your screen. If that doesn't help it could also be a hardware problem. How much is it off by?
that is not true, after upgrading you need to hard reset the device, and for that you need the mail button, because after you upgraded and entered the hard reset menu by pressing power+reset+record+camera you set the options right by flipping them all, using the camera and record buttons and then confirm your choice by pressing the mail button.
but i agree about the other problems:
screen - hardware issue
touch - align screen
just my 2 cents
I've managed to muller up my phone. I've been switching back and forth between ADW Launcher and HTC Sense for a little while.
Today, I was going through all my apps to make some space, and I cleared the data in HTC Sense. The next time I went home using Sense, it force-closed. Then for some stupid reason I thought it would be a good idea to check "use as default" for Sense, and now I just have a phone which constantly force-closes as it tries to go to home screen. Reboot makes no difference. I can't get past the force-close to clear default in HTC Sense.
My phone is not rooted. I think my only option now is to do a hard-reset, but how, if I can't get into settings? Need my phone up & running again asap. Would prefer not to have to reset it (therefore preserving all my apps, customisation) but am prepared to do anything at the moment.
Any advice, please?
I think if u turn it off, turn it on again and press the volume down button the select it from the menu does it, ive never done it before but i think thats it.
You could try booting into safe mode first.
With the phone off, hold down the menu button and power up the device. Keep holding down menu until the phone has completely booted up and you should be in safe mode (it will say "safe mode" in the bottom left corner of the home screen if it has worked.
If it boots into safe mode ok, chances are your problem is a widget on one of your home screens as safe mode will not load any 3rd party applications/widgets.
Failing that, you'll probably need to clear storage from fastboot as langers1 has suggested.
WORD OF WARNING - It seems that safe mode will nix any 3rd party widgets you have on your home screens. You will need to delete and re-add them.

Dave
Thanks.
A quick Google search brought up the relevant info from HTC:
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.
EDIT: Damn, I should've waited for your reply Dave - I've just reset the phone :-(
Never mind, at least it's working again
After devunlocking last night, now my phone is messed up
The problem is the back,windows and search button no longer work, the portion of the screen that they take up is now like an extension of thescreen it just selects stuff as if it were at the bottom of the screen. Any help to reset all the files in root to factory, I tried to hard reset and soft reset.
Maybe I screwed up the registry or some files. Thanks for any help
try factory reset. hold camera + volume down + power. when phone vibrate release power button while holding the other 2 buttons. should prompt you to reset your phone. hope that works
Thx
I tried that but it enters USB Host mode, I also tried holding down up and down volume and power button to reset which resets it but doesn'tfixmy problem. it's acting like the part of the screen where the windows, search and back button are are now part of the regular screen and those 3 buttons no longer do anything.
This sounds rather like a hardware error. Your calibration of the touchscreen is messed up. I suggest you send it in. You still should have warranty?!
Btw. I don't think this has a connection to unlocking the phone!
If the phone hasn't been tampered with physically, it should be enough to just sync it without re-unlocking it, and it should be locked again.
Thx
I got a new one on the way. I didn't delete any files or regedit a bunch of stuff just a standard dev unlock and it started acting squirrly.
My touch screen stopped responding and the Acer tech had me factory reset the device. The instructions are as follows:
1) Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2) Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3) With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4) Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5) Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6) Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
Before it is asked, YES you will loose your data. Yes, you will loose root. The tablet will be restored to defaults.
Did this fix your touchscreen issue? I haven't experienced it yet but its good to know if it did.
