Hi All
I have an XDA mini S which I put a password on yesterday, problem is this morning I entered what should have been the password and it doesn't work. I have tried a soft and hard reset but these haven't worked. It has the latest ROM version from O2 though I have deleted the o2 active stuff to speed things up a bit. I even tried to reflash the ROM this morning but it won't connect via ActiveSYNC as it asks for the password prior to connecting.....Pleeeeeeeeeease help.
thanks

Sorted Problem - hard reset a bit fidderly - secret, Hold down Comms and Voice button and press soft reset. Then release soft reset whilst continuing to hold down Comms and Voice buttons - goes straight to hard reset.

Bought my O2 XDA Mini on Friday, been messing around and thought I'd hard-reset it to start afresh.
Went to page 80 of the user manual, followed the instructions - powered the device off, held Comm Mgr and Voice Command buttons, pressed Reset.
And nothing.
Anyone else had this problem?
no, didn't had this problem... is the reset button working correctly? (can you do a normal soft reset)
there is also an application in the settings of your ppc called 'Clear Storage', I think it almost has the same effect as a 'Hard reset'
CIAO!
VOODOOS!L
Yes you can use the Clear Storage
For manual HR see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=182354
Many thanks folks.
The instructions in the book don't say anything about keeping the two buttons held in....
Just tried it, kept them pressed and voila!
Cheers again.

Good day
I've O2 atom pure and one stupid guy took it while I'm sleeping and set a password then he forgot the passowrd :x ,,,is there anyway to unlock it without hard-reseting because I've important information in it
Regards
unfortunately... no way
isn't there anyway to backup my files at least
You can back up the info in two ways.. via the software inside the phone into a SD card or via active sync. As both method requires the security pin, so, there is really no way of backing it up.
I would suggest that you perform a trial and error (brute force) your way into the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion hanmin but I've tried to do it that way but microsoft did a stupid thing which is a timer that you can't retry entering the password until it finishes and the problem is that it counts double the last time when you enter wrong password
for example at the first time it counts from 3 to 0 and the second time from 6 to 0 and so on
Now I reached 24 hours
reset your atom by pressing power and softreset together with is top and hole near usb connector :lol:
ranganrangan
there is no problem to perform hard reset... the problem was to save the data from atom.

maybe u not press the green+red button at the same time? a hard reset will put your device to factory setting again.
or if that not work, u can always upgrade your atom with the latest upgrade software
hello
maybe you can hard reset via recording button + reset button + power button at the same time.
or try any like this (reset button + power button + any side buttons) ok
Hi, I'v got O2 XDA Mini S and a "little" problem with it. I'v just installed Phone Profiles [Second Edition] 8.0 and it crashed my phone. After installation (on my memory card), I could not see it on my today screen...so I'v tried to configure it in today screen configuration - but I could not get there - the configuration we're not accessible (it crashed). So after that, soft reset. And the real problem began. After the boot screen and "windows mobile welcome screen" the mobile just freezes. Active sync on my PC connects to it just for a second, then disconnects. The Phone Profiles [Second Edition] 8.0 is installed on my memory card, so I'v removed the memory card - the same problem. It was annoying - so hard reset....does not help. I have Wisbar Advance 2 as well, which is starting first and I can see only the welcome screen of it (sometimes it loads and I can see the whole skin). Sometimes (after reboot) I can see the menu, today screen etc. but the phone freezes. I think that the Phone Profiles [Second Edition] 8.0 is freezing the phone after his process starts. Is there anything like "safe mode" start or something like that, which could help me to remove this soft ? Or any other way to normally start the phone ? Any ideas ? Many thanks for help.
It should start after hard reset - phone profiles, wisbar advance will not load after a proper hard reset - the phone will be back to factory condition.
Did you do proper hard reset? After that it sounds like phone profiles should be installed to device memory not storage card. Most today plugins only work properly on device memory.
I'v done the hard reset (I think it was done properly - comm manager and voice command button pressed in the same time and then reset button). But after I'v pressed these buttons, nothing specially happend....the phone was still off. So I'v turned it on....and there were no changes with the software - still the same. Maybe I'm doing the hard reset wrong ?

Yep sounds like hard reset is not done. Press these 2 buttons but keep them pressed and dont let go - then press reset with the tip of the stylus and then text should come on the screen with black background. Press green (call) button and hard reset will commence.
Or you can first turn device off - then press the 2 buttons and keep them held and press power on to reach the same screen.
Ok, I'v done it. Many, many thanks for help. The phone manual is wrong (!). . Anyway Phone Profiles [Second Edition] 8.0....WTF is that ? This program just crashed my phone and I need to reinstall all the soft. Wrrr. And I just wanted a profile manager . Thanks again for help ! :mrgreen:
Good, I am glad - try the one I use - its free http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/plt/plt_download.aspx
Nice one, got it. Thanks.
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.
Matthew
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.
Hello,
I have XDA mini II, when I got any call or dial any call, network disappears, so what is the issue with it?
One more issue: On pressing the power button screen prompt me to Reinstall.
So what issue with Network and reinstall screen ?
I have to configure whole 2-3 times in a day.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance,
Laxmilal
your battery is almost dead!

remove the battery and SIM card and let stand for 10 minutes then reinstall the battery to the device (let it go without a SIM card) and then hard reset your device To performa O2 XDA II Mini Hard / Full Reset : A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, erasing all data that you have created and programs you have installed. Press and hold the power button, and then use the stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time. Be sure you have backed up all your data in a SD card or on your PC before performing a full reset. after the device is in a hard (full reset) make sure the device go to the boot loader (v1.02 listed at the bottom of the screen, while the top printed SERIAL / USB) by pressing the power button+camera and then use the stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time . connect the device to PC using USB Activsync, and Flash ROM the devices to solve problems GPRS or Internet connection you can use SummaryUtilitySP2

I 've tried the radio version as you mentioned it and the GPRS connection is fine! I suggest you should try to UPDATE the Network Wizard on your device
that cab file can work on the HTC Magician, just look at report ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360552 ( post # 5 )
