I've got a HTC touch pro 2,
running on windows mobile 5.7 or some,
I wanted to upgrade it to windows mobile 6.5
and downloaded the install program from the htc website,
I plugged my htc tp2 in to my pc and synchronized it,
I walked trough the install program and it started with upgrading it,
20 seconds later, when it was on 8% with upgrading,
the program gave an error and quit the upgrade..
I turned my phone off, when i turned my tp2 back on,
it gave the 3 coloured screen and won't do anything anymore.
I tried to hard reset it but that didn't help either..
Can someone help me with this problem?
Kind regarts,
Stijn
Try to re-download the 6.5 upgrade from htc to your my documents folder. Then reboot your pc and after it boots make sure firewall & anti-virus software and any other unnecessary programs are running.
Then pull the battery of your TP2 to turn it off. Wait a few seconds. Then replace the battery. Then press and hold volume down and while holding volume down button down press and hold power button until rainbow bootloader shows. Connect your USB to your TP2 and your PC. Then click on the exe rom update you downloaded and follow the directions.
Another way to hard reset your device...
With the phone turned OFF, press CALL & END CALL buttons simultaneously. Keep pressing these 2 buttons, briefly press power button and keep pressing CALL & END until you will see a message saying to press Volume UP in order to hard reset your device. Do as it says!

I have the Siemens sx-66 pocket pc phone and it really got annoying having to wait 1 minute for the device to go into standby mode. Because my power button no longer powers the device off. So i googled and searched around until i found this freeware program http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/psshutxp.shtml It is a utility that when once installed, can be used to power down, reset, or turn off the backlight. With an interphase similar to the windows xp power-down prompt.
This i found to be much better than waiting a full minute for the device to power down.
I mapped the program to my calendar button since i never use calendar anyway, and when the program pops up, i tap "Turn Off" and it instantly puts the device into standby.
This doesn't fix the Hardware power button malfunction, But it sure beats waitin' around wasting precious battery.
Hi
I'd recommend hard resetting your PDA and starting all over again.
I'm 99% sure that your device will go to standby correctly after cleaning it up (hard reset).
Remember to backup your data.
already tried hard resetting. Once accidently (let my sister play with it until the battery was COMPLETELY dead). and 2 more times intentionally from reccomendations (after making back-ups of course). Still had the same problem afterwards. I'm happy with the program.
p.s. Best part is it's free!
Is anyone else having issues with Traveler in WM6?
I'm using an AT&T based Pandora Kitchens ROM and I'm getting the following problems:
1. Screen is off, I press the power button to turn it on. The screen turns on and I see my Today screen or whatever program I was using when I turned it off but that's it, I can't do anything else. Screen and buttons don't respond. Pressing the call end button results in the short beep that it normally sounds when you're on the Today screen and press it. But I have to soft reset to use my phone.
The same problem happened a few times when someone tried to call me. I was watching my phone when I tested this. Screen was off, I rang myself frlom another phone, the screen turns on and the phone symbol appears next to the signal icon in the top bar but after that the phone freezes as above. Soft reset needed.
2. Phone is charging using the wall adaptor. Green light is on. I pull the power cable out of the phone and press the power button, nothing happens. I had to soft reset.
3. Turn phone on, tap Start menu, wait about 15 seconds before Start menu appears!
Any ideas?

1. I do believe that was caused by installed softwares,
2. try to remove all today plugins, wait 5 seconds, softreset, after 2 minutes (just to ensure
all processes are finished),
3. try to press the power button then again after 10 seconds, and see if that helps or not, alternatively,
4. try to remove the shortcuts fron the startup folder and try. If nothing helped, probably there is a confused registry. hard-reset for no choice(except you are expert in registry matters )
5. Remember to wait for 10 seconds before you reset the device after changes were made.
thanks everyone!! this problem happens occationally. SO i need a few days to see if the above steps work
Thanks for ur advice again though
Today i was trying to install the iphone theme and when i rebooted it wont load back to my home screen it would stay in the windows mobile start-up screen! do you guys have any clue on how to deal with this problem!?! pls let me know!
Hold the sym button (camera button) down for like 5 seconds and then plug in the usb while still holding it down and flash your phone with the official (original) rom the phone came with.
So here's my problem, I can press the power button to start up my touch pro 2, but after the OS loads, it doesn't function to turn off the screen or to power off my device. So now, it just goes dim after 30 seconds but still stays lit and the only way to turn the phone off is to pull the battery. What can be done?

Witch rom do you use? What kind of cabs did you install? Other tweaks? Please be more specific so we can help
Stock Tmo Win6.1 rom. Nothing installed really, this problem was present ever since the fresh install. It can't be physical because the power button is recognized prior to OS boot, and I can get into the bootloader fine as well.
Maybe there is some software that can map the keys properly?
Try this program and see if it solves you're problem. I will let you remap you're hardware keys.

That program doesn't let me do anything with the power button. It doesn't even let me assign a power button FUNCTION to the end button. I don't know what's going on.
There are different restart programs you can install that will include an app. You should change the times for your screen to turn off as well. If there isnt' water damage take your phone in to the provider and you should be able to get a new one.
