Hello Friends,
There are many many useful sequence of keys in HTC Universal which is usable for device manipulation. If you know one of them, please report them here.
I know there are many threads that our friends define some keys, but I think an integrate thread is needed.
1) Reset to factory setting
Press and Hold Both Menu Keys On Keyboard ( With Minus (-) Sign) and reset your phone using stylus. A Message appears and wants you to enter 0 to clear storage memory.
2) Show boot menu
Press and hold Light button(Right of Infrared) and reset your device using stylus. A Menu appears and you can do some boot tasks.
3) I want to update my device, but It does not boot and I cant use active-sync to update that.
Press and hold light button(Right of Infrared) and Turn-on button(beside SD Slot) then restart your device using stylus.
The device goes in update mode, you can plug usb cable and run MaUpgradeUt.exe. If it shows error run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe.

I WAS WONDERING HOW I COULD REINSTALL WINDOWS ON MY DEVICE AS I CANT SWITCH IT ON. IN FACT I CAN SWITCH IT ON BUT WHEN IT TRYIES TO ENTER THE WINDOWS SHOWS A WHITE SCREEN ONLY AND DOESNT START PROPERLY AND THEN A BLACK SCREEN AGAIN.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
For god sakes, stop typing in capitals.
Hold down the Comm+Voice buttons while pressing the reset button. Then release the reset button. Keep your fingers on the Comm+Voice button until it says "Push send to format"... then press the bottom left button on the front of the device (i.e. the green telephone button). It will say FAT format complete then it will reboot. Wait about 2 minutes for it to repopulate the device's ROM.
There, you have a factory-fresh device.
hi, after instaling pretty much of applications on my wizard it just stopped respond. if u do a soft reset it boots but freezest on todays screen and thats it. there is a massage dispalied "low memory". i cannot do a hard reset, upgrade rom anything. is there any other way to perform a hard reset ?? (i tried comm mnr+voice+plus soft reste) HELP !!!
cheers, matt
Some people have joy with - turn off - press and hold comm, record and camera buttons and press power on.
If that fails you should be able to flash your device with the same rom. Turn off, press camera button and hold then press power button and bootloader multicolored screen should come up. Connect via usb to pc and reflash rom.
Hello,
I installed SPB Pocket Plus, then I reboot, since then my mobile stops in the boot screen.
Is there a way to boot in safe mode? (I tryied to boot holding the two upper buttons, failed.)
Is there a way to format the mobile before booting?
If I need to reinstall EVERYTHING, how do I do it? Using the USB cable? Where do I get the ROM? How do I procede installing the rom?
Please, I would REALLY appreciate any suggestion,
I am in panic.
Thanks.
same here! don't know what to do, a hear an alarm tune and then it stops...
I did a hard reset now...
A quick Google search got me HERE.
Press and hold both the Comm Mannager Button and the Voice Command Button
While keeping those two buttons pressed, press the Reset Button with your stylus
After about a second you will be prompted for confirmation. Press the Talk Button to confirm

Additionally, if you can still connect to your desktop by USB Cable, you should be able to remove the offending software with ActiveSync without hard-reseting.
thank you so much, but I had to hard-reset my device, I lost everything, damn!
that's how i did it:
Plug the device on power
Turn on your device
1. Press simultaneously the 2 upper buttons (comm. & voice) and keep them pressed
2. After 3 s press the soft reset button and keep it pressed for 3 s, (comm. & voice are still pressed)
3. Release soft reset button., (comm. & voice are still pressed)
4. Don’t release comm. & voice buttons until you see on the black screen some Instructions to format your drive.
5. release comm. & voice buttons
6. press call button to start format your drive.
Thank you both for the attention,

Hi, I'm just wondering what the difference is between soft-resetting the device via
1. the little button at the bottom
2. the Power button on the side (and then of course turning the device back on afterwards)
3. a software application
Any ideas?
1) When you press the power button the device is shut down completely or goes in to partial suspend mode depending on the device and whether it is a long and short press. For example on most HTC phone short press will turn off the screen and suspend user programs running on the device but the OS phone and some other stuff will still run so you get reminders, mail and of course incoming calls.
Long press will shut down the phone. It is just like shutting down the computer using Start->Shutdown so its not really a reset.
2) Software applications implement couple of different functions but basically they still tell the OS to restart so it is more or less proper restart.
3) "the little stylus hole" is like the reset button on the computer. It actually momentarily cuts power to the system causing it to reboot. This means you loose any unsaved data.
This option is mainly for cases when the system hangs.
Ah ok, so using the little button at the bottom with the stylus is a no-no except when completely frozen...
But what about the other two options? Does either one result in data loss or similar problems? Or are they both equally "safe"?
Yes the other two options are safe since they both go through the OS and not just the hardware.
One more thing:
If you happened to install a program that starts automatically but can't properly work on your device it could cause it to not come out of soft reset - hang on startup screen.
In such case you will have to preform "hard reset" which will erase all data and restore the phone to the way it was when you took it out of the box.
(Windows and built in apps with factory settings).
This is preformed by holding power + camera + comm manager (all three buttons on the sides) and pressing reset (little hole).
Then you will be asked to press 'send' (green phone button) if you are sure you wish to proceed.
Same function can be accomplished using 'clear storage' icon in Settings->System.
Like I said this is only for drastic cases because it will erase all you data.
I bought a new phone (HTC TOUCH 2) from China.
It is same as the original one.
My problem is: I can't do a HARD RESET or Soft Reset by Button.
I searched the forums and found some talking about pressing (VOLUNEUP+VOLUMEDOWN+Power.
others talking about VOLUMEDOWN+Power
I tried every possible key compinations to do the HARD RESET with no success.
When i press VOLUNEUP+VOLUMEDOWN+Power, a green screen show up with the bellow data:
"THIS OPERATION WILL SET KITL MODE.
CURRENT SETTING........
DISABLE KITL: CAMERA
PASSIVE KITL:VOLUMEDOWN
ACTIVE KITL: VOLUMEUP
I searched for a Camera button but it seems this button is not there at all, only one tall button on the left side for Volume (up+down)
Also there is no Reset button at all, i searched every where in the mobile with no success even if i remove the styles, nothing there at all.
is there any help?
I have some problem with my htc clone i have no camera button but i must change kitl to disable to comunicate my htc with pc with active or passive kitl mode usb connection are not recognized by my pc. Is there any way to change kitl mode using wm mobile aplication or something like that i want to change my rom too. cause this one is probably for another htc with camera button
Hard Reset
Go to menu -> settings -> system -> clear storage to hard reset your phone
don't work with my problem after clear storage kitl stays in passive mode i need disable for usb comunication
Also, all owners of this mobile having the below problems:
1- Can't load normal Rom files (.nbh), they should load it through a flash memory
2- Rom File size should be smaller than 128mb.
3- Can't connect it with PC Post#2.
4- No Camera Button !!!!
Mine was disabled and I don't know which combination of buttons I pressed to enable it but now it really startups slow and also the usb connection problem came up. So anyone?
I tried each and every possible key combination with no success to Disable kitl.
Any help?
I would never trust a clone for a wm as i do keep all of my work on it. Never ever trust a chinese clone company for this. Better to pay a few dollars more and buy the real one than risk loosing all of my data kept.
You are right 100%.
but, what about the current case?
Do i have to put it in the trush bin?

Press (VolumeUP + VolumeDown + Power) then select Passive again...Working fine
Once press the "Windows logo" + "Volume Up" + "Power" working hard reset
Hard Reset is easy. Press the Volume up an down key from the center.i.e press it form the middle. like that both the up an down keys would be pressed. then Power on. Easy. yes it wasn't easy for me too in the start but a bit more pressure and it works.

I have the same problem. Yesterday I put my cell phone passive KITL mode, but when I connect to my computer, nothing happens.
I did hard reset and soft reset but nothing happens.
Help me!
have you installed microsoft activesync (windows XP) or windows mobile device center (vista or 7)? i think you have to install those first.
