Hi,
I've managed to kill my Orbit 2! Everytime it starts up it gets as far as the Windows Mobile splash screen then shows the volumn control (both levels turned down) but goes no further. The power button still turns the screen on and off and the screen still dims after a while with any key bringing it back to full brightness, but nothing happens!
Has anyone else had this problem?
Also, I've looked in the forums, but can't find details anywhere of how to hard reset this phone! The only instructions I've found relate to non-existent buttons!
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_cruise_polaris_hard_reset_soft_reset.html
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening or how to hard reset!
Thanks in advance,
Nick
it is the bottom two buttons (below the answer & hang up) and the stylus for a soft reset.
When it asks for a confirmation hit the green answer button
Hope this helps
Thanks NC35 - that did the trick!
Luckily I backed it up on Sunday so shouldn't have lost too much!
Thanks
Having tried ( now three times with no help ever) to speak to O2 and ask how to hard reset following the start menu completely failing..... I was told it was "impossible" you will need to return it and use the "28 day" repair service.....
I have at last managed to restore - thanks to this posting!!
No comes the reseting process - which is a bit of a bore!!
O2 seem to have dispensed with any actual tech support at all!!

The procedure of performing hard reset is perfectly explained in the manual that comes with the phone. "hard reset" is included in the index of this manual, so it takes only a couple of minutes to find out what you have to do.
After all, RTFM ;-)

I've just gotten my T-Mobile MDA Pro, and i am very happy with it
however, a few things
1. How do i hard reset? being my first WM5 pda, i cant find how to hard reset (total factory reset) the thing...
2. How do i get out of ozVGA?!?? in the last 5 mins i just set it to true vga... how do i get back to normal? soft reset wont work, just keeps rebooting to true VGA... kinda panicking at the moment...
Help would be much appreciated on this one...
<edit>
omg... breath... i have sorted the VGA problem... man i am sweating buckets now
See, ive wanted a Universal ever since the rumours started nearly 2 years ago... and now i have one i nearly brick it in the same day... and the problem in the end was me being a dumbass and not reading the readme
</edit>
Google!
If you must know, press and hold the backlight (lightbulb) button and use the stylus to press the reset button. Hold the backlight until you get a menu with three options. Use the dpad up button to move from item to item, use the down button to select yes or no. Set Clean Registry and Format Storage to YES and press the middle dpad button to reboot. This also works for the QTEK 9100

PS please use helpful topic titles, and you'll get help much faster.
Hi, thanks for the info.
sorry about the title, I was kinda preoccupied with my malfunctioning PDA... and I guess I should've used the search, too...
But you got VGA working right?
I wasn't sure if you needed any further help on that...

hi guys, this might seem to be posted a lot of times but i havent found anyone who experienced the same problem as me. ive flashed a custom rom (not found in xda dev) and the phone went well for 3 weeks to a month.however, today(lunchtime) i had a problem i soft reset my device and i was stuck at the 2nd splashed screen. i dont think my hermes is bricked because i can do anything a normal hermes do before. (pda function, calls, sms) really no problem at all until today. ive done what the wiki said like
Problem 2: stuck on windows mobile screen
Try to soft reset with stylus and wait 5 minutes on the windows mobile screen to see if OS boots
If all you get is same windows mobile screen, remove the battery for some time (about 20 min should be enough) and put it again.
Again, if all you get is same windows mobile screen do a hard reset.
If doesn't solve the problem do a hard reset, but do not press spacebar to reboot after. Instead, do a soft reset with stylus when the device asks you to press spacebar.
Check if you might have the NO GSM Problem
well i cant go pass the 2nd splash screen so what i did was hard reset it. and problems gone. my concern is ive lost a lot of documents because of what happened. so i just wanna ask you guys what could be the problem and the solution to prevent this from happening again.
much respect to all here!
TIA
What do you do just before the problem occur?
best thing to do is hard reset you phone this will reinstall you OS and resolve the problem. You need to old the 2 top soft key and press the reset but with your stylus. This will then bring then take u into the hard reset mode. follow the prompts on ur screen by using your keyboard .
This will work as i have experienced the same problem
kind regards
Ash
Did u happen to
a) disable the bottom tray
or
b) set PIE cache to storage card?
Both tend to cause this, tho not in every case.

Ok, i've got a serious problem on my hands.
I've just flashed my device with WM6.1, successfully. Ok, now i'm hard resetting the device after the 'successful install' and i've entered the bootlogger mode (i've done this before, not a n00b...) but after i've configured the settings (e.g. NO, YES, YES) I try and press the mail button, waiting for the white screen to appear but it doesn't. Instead, it does nothing at all. I can even change settings still! PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in Advance,
Timbo.
Oh, Thank God!
Oh, thank God! The mail button was just stuck .
Fiddled around with it, held it down for a while and the white screen finally showed up.
Thanks,
Timbo
Thread closed due to the problem solution.
Hi and hope someone could help and calm me down.
I have an original free Polaris with 6.0, and upgraded with the 6.1 rom from the HTC site. Everything was working fine until today that I soft-reseted.
It boots OK but when it shows the password screen, it doesn't allow me to put it. I touch all the screen and nothing happens, the soft options (unlock and Menu) don't respond either.
Last thing I did about 3 days ago was to install Advconfig 3.3 but I don't think this could damage the phone.
I'm not even able to sincronized because ActiveSync tells me to unlock it first.
I'm really getting mad and I'm desperate !!!!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help ...
the first thing to do is an hard reset.
try it and tell us what happeans
OK, and many thanks in advance for your fast feedback !!!!!
hard reseting . . .
I'm sorry, nothing happened. Just the same symtomps. I hard reseted pressing the explorer and gps button, while presing the soft-reset with the stylus. It seems that the problem is that when I type, the screen doesn't respond, as if the problem where the presure with the stylus.
Continue desperated ...
Bad Hard-reset. I just misunderstood that I had to keep stylus pressed until tha message appeared. Now I'm back again.
One of the worst hours of my life.
Thanks very much for your suggestions, finally it worked.
Best regards.
ok nice
Hello,
I'm kind a new to this forum but found lots of useful information so I hope you can me.
When I push the lock screen button (power button(, the screen gets locked, but there is no way to unlock it again. I tried everything, but i keep ending up with soft resetting the device because this is the only thing that helps. This also happens when I put the phone on my desk for example and when I come back I can't unlock it. The screen stays black. I already did a hard reset several times but it doesn't help. Also, the hermes won't read my sim-card. I hope someone can help me. And I apologize for my vague description of my problem. Any question i'll try to answer
Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have the fairly well documented problem of the Hermes failing to come out of sleep mode and needing to be reset.
You may get some ideas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1078848&postcount=2
Check the items A,B,C etc first and note item G as that can be a common cause of the freezing problem.

Do you know anything that will fix the problem with my sim-card?
Thank you so much for your help!
Also the screen still locks eventhough I preformed the steps said above!
I'm starting to think that I can't fix it
Can someone help me out?
I already asked this before and I got some good tips. The problem now is that my screen locks even quicker than it did before.
