Anyone have this problem?
Two things going on...I had the miniSD card out for a while and after soft resets the unit is creating a folder called "StorageCard" and renaming my real card to "StorageCard2". That is at least a problem I can try to work with.
But later that same evening, I tried to upgrade DinarSoft TapText from 1.1 to 1.3. Lots of problems and never did get it upgraded. Now my phone hangs at the blue Windows Mobile screen.
I have been able to get it to come up again twice by taking the battery out for a while, but the next soft reset produces the same frozen screen.
During one of the times it was working, I restored with Sprite the system folders (didn't both restoring the data). It soft reset and came back fine, but not since then.
I pressed the hard buttons to hard reset, get a black screen that tells me to press the Send button to restore factory defaults. I press the send button and it hangs at the blue screen again.
I have several backups, but I can't get to use them!
Has anyone experienced this?
Have you tried clearstorage or VJEschaton?

If I can get the unit to finish booting once more, I will try clearstorage That is the only way I have had to hard reset in the past.
And I should havbe know you would have an app for this, too
But since I can't get it to boot to install it or read the card...I think I am stuck until I can get past that point.
I have the battery out now and am truly appreciating my phone fetish and my three other phones
2+ hours with no battery and it came backup. Then I could use ClearStorage and restore from several days ago...to make sure I didn't restore the problem.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I've got an M5000...
recently, I did a reset, and upon reboot, I got stuck at teh orange default splash screen.
That was 5 days ago, and after several calls, I'm no closer to finding out why..
So, can someone confirm how to do a hard reset. (I've tried, but heard nothing.
or can anyone offer advise to get my phone back to fectory settings.. I've got a back up of my data, so I'm not bothered about loosing anything.
I've got qa 1Gb SD card, with very little info on it, and I've tried rebooting with and without the card in place.
Any ideas, before I pull my hair out...?

To do a hard reset on the Universal:
Press and hold both SoftKeys (the ones with the lines on that point to Calendar and Contacts on the Today screen) and tap the Reset button at the back of the device.
When you have done this you have a choice of pressing X to exit the menu, or 0 to perform the hard reset.
As a last resort (it worked for me)
Put the Universal into bootloader then connect the usb and run romupdate.
to put into bootloader
Power button + Voice record + Reset.
It hangs sometimes and when i soft rest, it doesnt reset... if i hard reset it it doesnt reset... please advice on how to solve this problem.
Confused.
You mean you soft reset but it doens't reset? Or it hanged after the reset (e.g. while loading WM5).
And you tried hardreset? The manual for the hardreset procedure may not be good (they've copied over from the Magician). On your hardreset, did you see the device saying something like.. Press send to format the memory and Formating FAT something like that? Just to make sure you really hard reset it.
i think i'm having a similar issue. in the last 3 days my jam hangs on soft-reset in the picture of the initial display screen, and the only way to bring it back to life is to hard-reset, which on the move can be a pita.
im building a cab for all the settings and these hard-resets push me to continue developing it, but in the end it's becoming annoying. i've upgraded recently to taxist rom and it's stable since 2 months, but then i had to flash it again and since then it sux
I tried installing spb pocket plus and, just after it installed, my Wizard didn't seem to be responding so I tried soft resetting it. On booting up it showed the O2 splash screen and then the Windows Mobile screen but nothing else. The screen goes dark as the backlight is turned off but you can still see the Windows Mobile screen showing. Each time I soft reset the same thing happens.
I've tried soft resetting about 4-5 times now and the same thing happens again. I've even taken the battery out and put it back in and the same thing happens. I was going to try reinstalling the O2 XDA firmware but as I can't get the Wizard to connect to ActiveSync I can't do that.
Has anyone got any ideas? At the moment I'm without my phone & all the PDA functions on the phone and I really want it back.
Thanks for any advice.

Think you may need to do a hard reset to put it back to it's factory state. Should work then.
Thanks, I'd been trying to do a hard reset but it didn't seem to work - then it occurred to me that I was actually pressing the wrong button to confirm the reset!
Hard reset works and gets it up and running again although, from checking, it seems that there's some problem between sdp pocket plus (3.0.0.3888) as I've now installed that about 3-4 times and each time, after doing a soft reset, the Wizard crashes and won't respond.
Hi!
I've had my TyTN for about six months now and i haven't encountered anything like this. Yesterday my phone did a hard reset by itself. The phone had got slow and eventually, it didn't do anything so i pressed the reset button with the stylus. The phone rebooted but it took a bit longer than it usually does, and after the HTC-screen I got a that blue start screen which says "Tap the screen with the stylus to start using your phone" or something like that.
After setting it up all the messages, contacts and calendar notes (and of course everything else on the phone) had disappeared. After a few minutes the phone got stuck again; it didn't do anything even I tried to close the programs I had running (messaging and calendar). So I left it alone for a while to "think" but after app. 5 minutes it was still in the same situation so i pressed the reset button again with the stylus, the boot screen came on and nothing happened after that. I tried to reset it again - nothing. I took the battery out and replaced it - nothing. Nothing seemed to help. I did the hard reset and the phone worked normally again.
Has anyone any ideas what happened? I'm perfectly sure that I didin't press the soft keys while resetting the phone so I haven't done the hard reset myself. I'm going for a holiday to Germany and it wouldn't be very nice if something like this happened during the trip. I have guarantee left on the phone so I'll take it to the service shop.
I just installed the BatteryStatus today plug in and it was working fine until i turned on the option to show the CPU speed. Then it just hung up. Now when I soft-reset it hangs when loading the today screen. Some of the plugins load but it hangs before BatteryStatus loads, probably while loading it. Any way I can get to my system to change that setting? I would prefer to not do a hard reset. But if I do, how do I do a hard reset?
Sounds like a hard reset to me....Hold down the two keys with the dot's on them next to your phone buttons and hit the reset button while pressing the reset switch and hold them down for a second or two longer. If you have a Memory card in on the 6800 I hear you may want to take it out if you don't want it cleared as well...good luck.
hmmm I went to do a hard reset... saw on another site that you press all the buttons and press reset. I pressed all the side buttons OK, Voice, On, Comm, Camera and hit the reset.
It went to a screen with red, green and blue (i think) bars and said USB at the bottom. Then I unplugged it from the USB and it switched to say serial. And it just stayed there. I didn't know what to do so I just soft reset it at that point. It then booted up and was working fine. Looks like the changes I made since the last soft reset had been cleared (I think) and it was now working fine and all my stuff was still on my phone (it doesnt look like it did a hard reset).
Was that not a hard reset that I did? or was it something else?
Sounds like you entered bootloader mode. I'm surrprised that a SOFT RESET took you back.......
You just did a Soft Reset from Bootloader mode, which to my knowledge is exactly the same as a regular Soft Reset.
A Hard Reset wil completely reset your device to original ROM status and wipe out all of your info/contacts/mail... ect.
If the Soft Reset fixed the problem then good deal.
I installed same app, had same problem and did hard reset. My problem was getting phone service working again. About 15 min. with VZW connection tech, entered a 26 digit number authentication key through EPST.exe system program to get my phone service back.
I also had the same problem as well. With a battery status deal like what your describing. All i did was soft reset a **** load of times and plug in my pw real fast and it came back. I have a scrolling task now that display all of it with 0 problems. I have it if you want it. Pm me your email.
Weird, I had tried a soft reset a few times and it kept coming back with the same thing, hanging halfway through loading the today screen. Maybe I just got lucky that time.
try this, i like alot with 0 problems
