mda vario

I have a big problem with my mda vario.
the begenning: !. i done a hardreset and before finishing a softreset.
now my ppc doesnt boot anymore. the hung up is by the screen of t-mobile.
Plese help me!
What can i do now, is my mda vario over?
No resets bring me forward
Touchscreen or any other buttons doesnt react and doesnt work anymore.
The only thing that i can do is to remove the battery

Stupid question, but why would you do a soft reset in the middle of a hard reset?
Anyway, probably your best bet would be to download the latest t-mobile rom, put your phone in bootloader mode and flash the rom again. This time, avoid doing a soft reset in the middle of it.

how do i install the rom in the ppc if it doesnt boot.
can you give me a todo list, please ?

how can i put my phone in bootloader mode

Press and hold the camera key and then press the on button. When multicolored bootloader screen comes up release the camera button and then you're ready to flash.

Alternative Hard Reset

Hello. First all sorry for my english.
Since a few days the buttons of my pda are crazy and don't work properly.
For example: The power button don't switch off the pda, but if I press and hold the button for a few seconds, switch off the ligth of the screen. This mean that the button isn´t broken, is it??? With the cam and record button it´s the same. If I press those buttons on windows 6 it works perfectly but i want to hard reset my pda and when reset and press whe i have to change "Clean Registry Hive " and "Format Storage" I can't change these options and cant make hard reset.
Then that is the question:
How can i make hard reset?? is there an alternative metod???? At Qtek S200 there is an application that clean the memory. It Exists for my blueangel??'
There is any application than do it???
Thanks. I´m waiting for answers.

u can use psshutXP it can do a hardreset with confirmation by holding the upper right corner of the application.

Hello.
Thanks for your answer.
I have tested your option, but it seems that the hard reset doesn´t work in wm6. It changes time and date, but don't clean memory, because i have the same programs than before.
I need another metod.
Thanks.

here u are..
just reset first your device, than after you see the stripped screen, press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. then you will see the three options..
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
to choose just use the camera and record to change the options...
good luck
cheers

Hello evoluzionne.
I know that way to do hard reset, but my problem is that i can´t change the options:
enable kitl should be no
clean registry hive should be yes
format storage should be yes
In Windows Mobile 5 or 6 the camera and record buttons works properly, but when I reset the device and press the record and camera button quickly before the the version appears (radio,etc).. i can´t change the optios. It´s seems like the buttons don´t work. But i know that the buttons works, but the buttons don´t change the options. It´s very stranger.
In the power button is seemed. I can switch on the device, i can switch on/off the screen if I press and hold the button but i Can´t switch off the device. It´s incredible. My buttons are crazy. So i want to do downgraded to WM2003 ( so I need to do hard reset).
Do you know why are my buttons crazy????
Thank for your answer, and sorry for my english
Ciao

Hi,
Just wondering if you resolved the issue. I am having a similar problem on pda2k upgrading from wm5 to wm6. Buttons work except during boot menu so i cannot change options.
Appreciate your help.

Hi,
I have an exact problem as you. I've followed any info about hard reset, I've red wiki 100times, searching using Google but perform hard reset or enter to bootloader mode on my BA is IMPOSSIBLE!
In November I've upgraded to WM6, ROM from pdaviet, OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT)
MDA is working without problems, I can use phone, wifi, camera, record, BT, ActiveSync 4.5.
Right now I want to upgrade to new ROM from pdaviet but I stuck with a step: enter to bootloader mode
I've tried psShupXP software, which is capable do a hard reset. Still no luck, after software hard reset my BA comes on with all files installed...
Unfortunatelly mtty doens't works too, I can't see any WCEUSBSH001 port...
I'm not alone, but the bad news is that I don't find any solution
Thanks for any hint
R.V.

I have the same problem as you do, except I can enter BootLoader and Hardreser, but I can't turn off my device with power button, and if I hold it for long it shuts the backlight.
If anyone had any sucess solving this please share how...
Thank you.

I am following the same exact steps...flashed rom for the 5th time...hard reset is not working. The problem...'Mail' button (the hardware key) does not respond. I can change the options from No to Yes. But after pressing the 'mail' button nothing happens. Please let me know if there is another way to clear the registry hives and format the storage!!!

have you guys tried the MTTY alternative? i think it's somewhere here in the forum.

I am having the problem described in here.
By holding the record & media button, it *does* go to the hard reset menu, so obviously the record and wm buttons do work (ie is not a physical problem with the buttons), since these buttons do get it to the menu, it just does not allow any changes to the options (KITL, format storage, format registry hive)...
It is maddening, because I am stuck with the oldish pdaviet WM6 rom that crashes for me all the time and I want to try the newer 6.1 ROMs but can't hard reset and have seriously considered finding another used BA on ebay to start fresh it is driving me so nuts.....
I am about to search for the MTTY method described by samurai above... assuming I locate and can do it, I'll post results....

what do you mean "it just does not allow any changes to the options"? do you mean it wont let you navigate through each options? or do you mean it wont let you change from yes to no or no to yes?
any changes to the options are executed only after you have pushed the "mail" button

Hi muslim2009
I tried a few searches but all the results say you need the bootloader screen , are you sure you didn't miss a step in hard reset or bootloader mode :
To enter the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
To hard reset:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
I sincerely hope it helps
I was also born in Morrocco at Casablanca and lived there until age 16. Anyway I'll continue searching.

I'm not sure if it's possible with the HTC Touch, but I know when I was playing around with an old iMate SP3i (smartphone) I was able to do a ROM upgrade from files on the memory card.. Took me a few attempts to get it right, but it worked. I think I also upgrade my SP5 to WM6 from WM5 that way, but I'm not too sure about that.
Either way, a basic idea of what I'm talking about can be found here, but that is obviously for a different phone.. Maybe some of the more common members here would have better luck finding a similar process on a Touch....?

maybe its will be workin but what marterial i will need for this opperation??

On some HTC devices (cheetah, for example) if you put the ROM file (.bin) in the root directory of the SD card, the phone will flash directly from the SD card.
I think you do require to put the phone into bootloader for that to work though ... not 100% sure, but probably worth looking up.

Ok... Been trying to search for more information for you, but with not really knowing all the correct terminology it's taken me a while longer than I thought. I've found two threads that have some of the information I was looking for:
Recover / Revive your dead / bricked HTC ELF or ELFIN
Recover HTC Touch from tricolors RUU boot-loader (Mtty)
The second link is actually found inside the 2nd post (I think) of the first thread I mentioned here, looks like they are linked in some way. Your best bet is to read through and see if it is something that may help. Let us know if this works for you...?

thanks you man,i was read the first link befor..i will see for the second
hope will work.thank you again

Problem with putting XDA II into bootloader.

Hello,
I wanted to upgrade my operating system on my XDA II but to do that i need to use the power button but on my phone the button is broken, is there any way to get to the serial screen such as a freeware program i can run or another way of doing it?

There is a video somewhere here in WM5 or WM6 to show you how to upgrade.
It´s here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370752

yes, its because you'r flashing Radio only, if you are flashing WM5/WM6/WM6.1/WM6.5 you need to enter bootloader mode!

Me to have only record button not working
But i made it,open your phone open whole parts,now attach your battery with a rubber ring so phone can start,notice that white part which is situated near the camera which has four pines fix it with screw or until your phone boots, you need four hands either to enter in boot loader mode or hard reset.you should connect the circuit button with a metal/wire,first try that button you will see camera or record working apply same for your needs. out of that four points of button adjust three to connect toughether to activate.
