Do NOT use MrTrueVGA, it just brick my AMEO

I seldom activate MrTrueVGA. But tonight I did that for reading one PDF.
It leads me to hard reset the device right after a soft reset.
But the nightmare is ---
after hard reset, I press ACTION key to restore factory default as suggested. It takes few seconds to finish the default restore. Then I was asked to press POWER KEY to boot.
the device doesn't boot at all. just go back to the previous screen: 'Press ACTION to restore factory default or press Camera Key to exit'
If I press Camera Key, it just simply refresh the screen.
Seems the AMEO has entered an endless loop...

I have to try resetting the device in different way...
Now I mange to get the a dark screen as well as the ACTION key with Green light on.
any idea what mode is it (green light)?
Seems the OS couldn't startup after restoring factory setting. I guess I have to put the origin ROM back to the device instead of the updated WM6.
Continues tomorrow...

I've used it on my Athena with WM6 without a problem. Maybe something else is going on.

Is that an official release of WM6 for your device? I have no problem with MvRTrueVGA what so ever....
Have you tried flashing your device again?

I got my Ameo into a very similar loop. I took the battery out for a few minutes, then when re-inserted, I was able to "see" the Ameo from Sync Centre and re-flash the ROM...

Monocube SafeMode2 saved my butt various time with truevga..

the WM6 is download from here (t mobile version). I am looking for a way to flash back origin version.
BTW, other softwares I run after starup: USB mousr driver, WM5storage.

Sounds like the OS got killed. reflash the device

Thanks Olipro, I am a bit regret that if I had run your hard-SPL, probably i wouldn't experienced this problem.
The symptom do like OS got kill for some reason. I am wondering anyone had tried to hard reset after flashing WM6 ROM?
more update will come...

update:
reflashing ROM image solves the problem.
but i still believe MrTrueVGA caused the problem. Somehow it causes the conflict and blow up the OS.

I use MvRTrueVGA on WM5 and WM6 on my Ameo without problems.
(only smaller graphical bugs)
even changing the resolution never took me more than one soft reset

forget to mention, i use another software "scree orientation" at the same time.
maybe these two chaps don't work well together.

Do a hard reset yes. I had the same problem once and this helped me.
Hard reset= hold both selection button next to green and red button.
Keep them push down and switch on your Artemis. Afterwards you will get a question. To proceed is pushing the green key.
Your Artemis will be restarted again with all basic (use lost all your contacts but you still be able to activesync them back if you did make a backup)
**good luck**

Hard reset= hold both Left&Right button + Reset button (lower left)
An rainbow screen will appear (PDA must be connected on USB)
After, you can flash a ROM again...

HTC Polaris/Cruise (XDA Orbit 2) bricked.

Hi everyone,
I recently received an XDA Orbit 2, literally, charged it for 2 hours, and when it was full charged, I started using it, I had it for about 2 months now, and recently I changed my home Internet connection to wireless (It's a B & G connection) so my laptop connects fine, and when I tried to connect my XDA Orbit 2, it connected and then soft-reset itself, and now it just loads the O2 screen, then Windows Mobile screen with the volume controller and I can't do anything else so here's what I have tried so far:
- Soft reset
- Removed battery and SIM
- Since I can't access phone's menu at all, I tried to Hard Reset method by holding the 2 soft key, reset, and the power button - So I get the warning that everything will be lost and to press 'Send' to continue, so I press the green key, and soft resets and goes back to the same situation again.
- The latest thing I tried is to load the Hard-SPL into the SDCard which has been formatted to FAT32, so loaded the POLAIMG.nbh into the root. and loaded the phone into BootLoader mode (Camera and reset buttons). It loads the memory card and just says 'Loading ... ' I left it for about an hour, until the battery died completely (I'm sure it's not supposed to take that long). And still the same problem.
I'm not sure if this phone is now bricked, can anyone help me plesae. I really need this to start working again, I don't have any info. on it. (Everything was sync. previously).
Kind regards,

Since you havent really messed with SPL, i would say to take it back, since its still into warranty.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not actually in the UK and will be overseas for a while. I don't really mind experimenting so I would appreciate any advise on this matter. Thanks again.

I assume just boots into bootloader and then stays there?
If yes you culd try searching out a thread on MTTY and recovery from boot loader but I dont know how well that would work on polaris as I have not tried it yet.
HTH
Leon

Thanks for the reply, I heard about the MTTY process, but I've no clue on how to do it, since the phone can't connect in ActiveSync mode. Is there a thread or WiKi guide out there?

Only in the ELF forum
Here:
I'm pretty sure you can download MTTY from here and read through how to use it.

Also it is worth checking the wiki and searching

Please do some research! I have not done this before and I have no idea what the commands do!!!

4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.

You need to do Hard Reset, all information will be wiped off. To do hard reset, hold down the:
1.Press and hold the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER
buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET
button at the bottom of your device.
2. Release the RESET button, but
continue pressing the GPS/
MESSAGING and INTERNET
EXPLORER buttons until you
see this message on the
screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the buttons, and then press SEND on your device to perform
the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Good luck.

Hi,
I'm using an HTC TC POLARIS100. Today I upgraded my ROM and SPL successfuly. If you're still in trouble and believe the same process will help, I will let you know the process followed.

Hard reset fails!

I desperately need an alternative way to hard reset my hd2. Holding the up down button and shortly pressing the on/off button just switches the phone on. No reset. btw I cant start up normally so the software approach doesn't wort either.

Use the reset button on back whilst holding up/down buttons

a few people have commented on the difficulty of getting both up and down pressed correctly.
I find I get a much better press with the battery cover off, and I press one first, then the second.that way you can feel them connect individually.

Why don't you guys use the build in software to hard re-set the devise.
1] Press Star Icon
2] Press Setting Icon
3] Press System Icon
4] Press Clear Storage Icon
That should start a hard re-set on device and re-store everything back to original configuration.

why don't you read the opening first again?
the dude can't use the software approach because his windows won't start, remember?

what about using task 29 or the reflash original splash screen while its doing its thing you can use both hands to hold the vol buttons, other than anything else suggested i dont thinj there us another way to hard reset other than reinstalling your rom maybe fix the software wipe storage app.

That works!

Thanks, finally got the thing going again.

I have the same exact problem. None of these methods are working for me. Is there anthing else I can do?

Same for me. Locked out of the phone completely. When it boots it only gets as far as the O2 start up screen and doesn't get any further. Hard and soft reset do nothing. Have tried all suggested here already.
When I get to the screen where I'm prompted to press Volume up to restore, it goes straight to 'restore completed' in a fraction of a second, then back to the start up screen when I press Volume up again.
Need help as I now have an HTC paperweight and no phone!

Been using magldr? Cos hard resetting with magldr installed just affects magldr, hence a very short reset time that does nothing.

No, I don't even know what that is. I'm not very technical and all I had installed was Cookie's Home Tab Editor.

I have the same problem.
My HTC is blocked ( the WM "forgot" the password that I set - a common problem ), so I have to do a Hard Reset that doesn't start.
I can't reflash or do anything else ( as told here ) without instaling HSPL first. As this can only be installed by the Active Sync, and Active Sync doesn't connect to blocked phones, I can't do anything else...
Is there a way to do anything else with only a new ROM in the sd card ? Or I REALLY have to install HSPL first ?
Thanks,
Leo

It is possible to be stitched from a SD-card without reinsertion HSPL. It is desirable to stitch official ROM
It is desirable SD-card to format a feather an insertion.

HD2 Frozen... asking the right questions

Just loaded another keyboard cab and suddenly on soft reset/reboot the phone has frozen at the HTC logo and the screen showing the RGD info... won't reboot easily and takes many attempts to get back to this screen.. but will go no further.
So to do a search, what keywords should I be using or does anyone recognise this and have an answer.. have tried reset, battery out but nothing is working, the screen is just locked the screen mention above.
Using Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.1 rom and was loading Touch-Keypad.Cab..
It is not connecting to the pc, so I can't reflash it at this time..

if you're phone wont boot since you installed this then looks like a hard reset is on the way mate sorry, you could try boot without mem card but doubt that will make a difference

Could you quickly remind me of the sequence for hard reset, red reset button doesn't seem to do a lot and I do have everything backed up so its not a problem... cheers.

press and hold both volume buttons and tap the power button. Keeping holding both volume buttons until it asks you if you want to factory reset the device. When it does tap volume up and it will then go off and do it's thing.

if the crash was the first time you had soft reset since youi installed the cooked rom, (even if you had been using it a while) it could be a mismatched radio. (Sometimes the rom/radio mismatch doesnt show till the first restart.)
Look at the R on the boot screen, if it has .51. in the version, then flash a new radio.

Thanks for all the help.. have managed to recover, restart and reflash, then reload, so we are all sweet now.. cheers..
