Strange Q but how is this done?
Dont say the reset hole because that does not seem to save things
for instance, i used resco reg edit to add a key, when i hit the soft reset hole, it rebooted but did not save the key
i noticed this on other things too... am i doing something wrong?
Registry is saved instanlty, when you hit save in the specific thread. Resco saves when you hit done (lower left corner button) and not OK button, and of course it will ask you to accept the changes. There are though some programs that reset their registry settings if they're tampered with. You need to be more specific.
Soft reset does not save anything, it just reboots the device. There are various programs that have an option to soft reset the device.
I don't know why but it seems to make a difference if you press the reset-button or if you turn the device off via the power-button (5 seconds) and than turn it on again (at least for my language-settings via registry).
The 'why' is because the registry is not written away to the persistent storage (flash memory) immediately. If you use the power down option instead, the OS will write the registry away before powering down.
I did something silly. I loaded SPB Full Screen Keyboard on my U1000 but it did not work. Although it showed in the list of keyboards dropdown when selected it simply did not work. So I used SK Tools to make it the default SIP thinking maybe at reset time it will load. Well, that was not a good idea. Now my U1000 has a white screen. It still works, I can turn it off and it rings when called etc but the screen is all white. I tried ActiveSync thinking I can delete the FSK and reset again but ActiveSync did not connect.
So, is there any way I can reset the device and bypass startup, registry etc?
If not is there any way to do a hard reset without using the Clear Storage application? I am looking for a reset button + power key etc type combination like in the older HTC devices.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
To enter Bootloader press and hold the camera button and press the reset button.
You are super. Thanks for all your help.
HI its me again..
on my WM5 dopod OS I m facing a problem...
When ever after a soft reset immediately when i press the windows menu key it delays opening by around 2-3sec...
but after doing it once it opens immediately the next time i press the menu key...
also i m facing similar problem with text-input selector (one we get while writing a message/email )selecting the t9/keyboard/HRR etc..
While i tap the inputchanging key in middel the menu is delayed here also by 2-3sec its really irritaring me..cause this happens evertime ...even after soft reset.
just for your info i have loaded resco fullscreen keyboard,resco keyboard apart from default input methods of phone pad,hand writing rec.etc...
Will this causing the menu to pop-up delayed by 3sec or so....
thnkz
The first time that you open the start menu, the device needs to read the Start Menu listing. When you open the Start Menu after this, the files have been cached in memory and therefore the menu appears instantly. There isn't really a way around this and to be honest, I don't see a problem.
As for the input method list, I have the same problem and I am not sure why this happens. Maybe someone could clear-up as to whether it performs some kind of re-enumeration or integrity check for the input methods when the menu is opened, but this certainly has nothing to do with Resco Full-Screen keyboard.
HTC TOUCH HDThe device stuck in animated gif. Try to do hardreset, first become bootloaderscreen and then a message "No image file"
Please Help
What a hell of a job with these small buttons!
Thanks in advance!
this way
On a powered off phone hold down the volume down and the volume up button and power on at the same time. After a couble of secunds you will get a warning... You can now let go of the buttoms. if you want to proceed with the hard-reset you press wolume up buttom otherwise you press something else..
Rememeger you will delete all you data by hard-resseting your phone

I had some issues as well the first time I wanted to hard-reset my HD. But after several times, I got it. I laid down my HD, pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time with my right hand, and pressed the power button at the same time with my left hand, and it will come.
Just try several times, and you'll get the same. But try to backup some part before if it's possible!
The one you've done (I guess) is the bootloader, which will appear when you press the volume down and power button at the same time.

I have a Dutch device, so I don't know exactly how it's called in the English rom. But this is what I did:
Goto 'Settings' => 'System' and then something called 'Opslag wissen' in the Dutch rom. In english it would be something like 'Delete data'.
When you do that you are asked to enter "1234" and press the YES button. After that, the default settings are restored and all data is deleted.
Now this is my issue: I had installed several programs on the memory card and they are stil there, which is good. They even work after the reset, which is also good. But I can't put them in the programs menu or programs tab anymore, which is not good.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Or do I have to get rid of all the programs and reinstall them again?
Grtz,
Thijs
Re-install the applications..
Hey.. I think the easyest is to re-install the applications... Just because you choose to install them om the memorycard, the software stills place som files in windows system files...
backup
just to be sure i always have a map on external storage with all the cab files i installed. in case of hard reset ik can always reinstall everything whereever i am.

@GreenFrog Thanks for the quick reply!
Now i know what I was doing wrong, I pressed the upper and lower volume button at the same time pressing the power button, but I'm instantly hold the powerbutton down, instead of pressing it one's!
But the mean problem for all this misery was a corrupted SD-Card (There were no more Apps installed, something had blow them away,the directory Programfiles was complet empty), the device couldn't start up Windows Mobile. When I remove the SD-card everything works fine again, except that i have to re-install all apps.This looks very strang to me, never had such an issue before!
the trick is to hold both the volume keys down and to press the power button just once. It will not work if you hold down the power button while the device is turning on.
Hope this helps
This also stumped me for a while.
The difference between going to the bootloader and doing a hard reset is that to do hard reset, you press BOTH the up and down side of the volume key whereas to go to bootloader, you press only the lower side of the volume key. In both cases, you press the power button.
Remember to do this after shutting down the device.
The approach of going into setting and do a clear storage is fine as long as the device is not frozen up yet.
Hope this makes it clearer for everyone.

First what you can try is remove battery ja sim and then put them back.
If nothing else helps final help is hardreset. NOW, REMEMBER TO TAKE BACKUP FROM YOUR CONTACTS ETC..
To perform a hard reset
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that any additional installed
programs and/or user data have been backed up before you perform a hard reset.
1. Pull out the stylus
2. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly
press the POWER button.
3. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all your settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufaturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
4. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
5. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
or with phone on:
To clear storage
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Hope this solves your problem.
