This is the second time, and second device that this has happened on. My device froze and then when I did a soft reset it won't go past the green WM6 splash screen (memory card is removed). The green light still flashes and the screen goes black after a while, but nothing is ever displayed.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
My apologies seeing as I'm still a newb. All that was required was a hard reset; press and hold both action buttons while pressing the pen into the soft reset button.
After reinstalling WM6 I am able to use my Titan again (although all my personal data since my last back-up was lost).
Try to hard reset your device.
Press the left and right soft key, then punch the reset hole with ur stylus. Hold the two buttons until the screen displays some thing, follow the instruction on it.

thx nige
were you upgrading the ROM prior to doing a hard reset?
Hi, a helpfull friend has set the WM5 password to strong alphanumeric and has forgotten it,or just wont tell me what it is. Can anyone tell me, how can I get around this to get MDA Vario working again?
Many thanks
I think a hard reset may fix.
But I am not to sure.
I have tried that, device is still coming up with password request.
All I can think of is flashing it with a new ROM but if it goes bad it could kill the device and I am not sure it would remove it but in theory it should. Other members may have some hacks to fix it.
A hard reset will definitely remove the password, maybe you are just soft resetting the device.
I have tried as says in manual many times, it comes back up with the password screen every time.
I can only try it with MDA:
Turned off
Turned on with password screen illuminated
Manual says:
88 Managing Your MDA Vario
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the Comm Manager button and Voice Command button on
the device.
2. Keep the two buttons pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly
press and hold the RESET button.
RESET button
Voice Command button
Comm Manager button
I have tried it with MDA:
turned off
turned on showing password screen
Sounds like you are doing the reset wrong....
Hard resets are awkward - hold in the two top side buttons, press the reset and keep holding the top two buttons after you have removed the stylus from the reset hole. About four seconds should do it.
Hope that helps.
you'll know if you got it because you'll get a black screen with white lettering that says "press send to format" or the like
otherwise its just a soft reset. On an older ipaq I had, if I had a password it would ask on teh PC everytime I synched. This was with PPC 2003. I'm not sure if you'll still have a problem when you try to sync your data though.
Good luck.
Bilbo_28 & others - You were right, I was not doing a hard reset properly and getting only the soft reset.
It seems after doing it a few times, that the hard reset instructions in the manual should read something like:
hold in the two top side buttons, both the send and receive buttons leds should come on and stay lit.
Insert the stylus in the reset hole and observe both send and receive buttons extinguish
remove the stylus from the reset hole and keep holding the two top side buttons until:
The screen goes black and the following message appears:
Press send to restore
factory default,
Other keys to quit
Release the top two side buttons
Then press SEND to restore factory default
or press any other key to abort hard reset
I think an e-mail to T-Mobile telling them to update the manual would not go amiss !!
Many thanks for your assistance.
Thankz man
hey thankz man really got a great relief
Wow. I was doing the hard reset wrong. I had the same password problem. But now its stuck on the "align screen" menu wth? It moves the cursor around the screen and yet it comes back to the menu. I've run through it at least 10 times now
Hi all,
This is my first thread after being around with the availble great roms for awhile, this morning I came across a weird problem, somehow when I try to hard reset my X1 ( 2 silver buttons, reset button with stylus ) it just reboots back, like a soft reset. So instead giving me the hard reset options, it just boots like normal with the SE logo etc.
This is the same when I try too enter the rainbow bootloader screen, device shut off, removed battery and reinserted. But when I press volume down and power button, is just reboots as normal.
The weird thing however is, that I am able to flash roms when I use the ruu tool, it just goes to rainbow screen by itself, I just cant do it myself with the hardware buttons, or do a hard reset! This always worked.. Any ideas ?
Edit : I reflashed hard-spl, did nothing to solve this.
Thanks!
To hard rest, it's the soft keys and the main power button, not the with the reset button.

no as long as your holding the two front soft keys when the phone powers on it should go into hard reset. but it only works properly for me when i use the reset button.
make sure your holding the two front keys until the HR screen comes up, again, don't just press them once, HOLD them until it says in blue writing on grey background, press r to reset then press the r on the keyboard to HReset
this is the same for entering bootloader, hold volume down (and make sure it is down not up) and power until you get the rainbow screen
Weird thing is, I know how to do these two tricks.
I did like 20 hard resets with the two soft buttons etc.
Same goes for bootloader, only that isnt a big problem cause
I found out I can use enterbotloader.exe in windows map. Maybe
theres a shortcut for the hard reset too? Thanks

I have the exakt same problem I use smabergs latest rom, and I cant hard reset or enter tricolor screen, please anybody know how to solve this?
hi guys!
long time with no post from me but today the stupid thing (HD) did it again
i installed an app for home page tweaking and after the soft reset my HD dosen't starts right
it boots, does what it does but it sucks on the black screen with some icons on the top bar and the names of the soft keys on the bottom bar. i can only turn ona anf off the screen by pressing the power button, but nothing else. screen doesn't react, soft keys don't react either
i don't realy want to hard reset it because it took few months to make it working right, but i would do also this if there is no other solution
BUT...
when i try to hard reset it it stucked again in the tricolour mode with "SERIAL" word on the botom
what is this? i can't write anything so what is this serial all about?
so, please let me know if there is any solution for:
1. step by step booting in order to skip the process or application that cause the stuck?
2. how can i hard reset the thinggie?
thanks a lot!
Had the same problem after I installed HTC home and HTC customizer...after a soft reset, TF3D failed to load and the phone froze. Had to hard reset in the end--thankfully, I run a backup once a week, so I really didn't lose anything. I was able to run 'Clear Storage' before TF3D's startup fail managed to freeze my phone. So it's all good on my end...
Backup backup backup...a little too late...
Maybe you are not doing the hard reset correctly, you press and hold both Vol up & Vol down keys, whilst holding down power button aswell until it turns on. Hard reset screen should come up.

Sounds like a software issue Hard Reset sounds best
What you are seeing (Tri Coloured Screen) is the boot loader it probably showed up because you didnt hold the volume up key when doing Hard Reset
its not a problem just remove battery
then do hard reset (make sure both volume buttons UP/Down are press at the same time and press power button ..........follow what the screen says
thank you guys for your opinions
