Okay, this is the story;
I have a HTC P4350, no problems, had a couple of themes in the past couple of days. Now I installed HTC Home, nd softresetted. Next thing, I wanted to boot my HTC, now it won't go further then the windows mobile screen! It just goes back to HTC -> Windows again the whole time!
Please help me out, is there a way to fix this!?
try a hard reset, this can usually be done with a combination of hardware keys (it's prob in the wiki.)
If that doesn't work try entering bootloader and flashing new/original rom.
Do a soft reset by holding down left and right softkeys. It will format the internal memory of the device and it will return to factory defaults.

With all this talk about WM5 devices not really resetting everything after a hard reset, and my device being dead and not recovering after a hard reset makes me think, there must be an alternate way to really hard reset a device back to factory condition.
I tried a lot of combinations of presses to no end. The only thing I am suspicious about but did not play with is a red/white round sticker (which looks like it is hiding a button) under the battery (upper left corner).
Anyone know what that is, or is there a way to do a harder reset? Taking the battery out for a few days did not help either.
Because flash memory actually needs erasing rather than just resetting I doubt it is possible to clear it with a simple button press. It may be you can do a normal hard reset and hold down a button to bypass loading data from the flash then format it. But I've no idea really.

Re-flash the ROM?
uuummm some where in this forum i read that if you have wm2005 and go to boot loader mode you get an option over there to clear the cache or memory something like that, and that would give you a clean installation.....
haven't tried it though.....and i doubt i would get such an option in wm2003se, also i have a similar problem i did a complete flash reinstallation of rom to my device and after the installation i opened windows media player (wasnt the first thing i opened, but didnt copy any files)and guess what....i had a song available over there..... which i could actually play and it did....i checked the location of the file and it was somewhere in my device or documents dont quite remember i did a hard reset again and same issue....
after that i have'nt tried anything the rom is same i just deleted the folder manually but i would also like to know how to TOTALLLLLLY ERASE ALL DATA from the device and clean install everything
regards
on the XDA II and WM5 you hold down the buttons to resent stage then i gives you three options. One of these I am sure clears the phone
I hard reset my Universal several times (well I think I did at least)
Press the soft reset plus the two "-" buttons and you will have a white screen asking if you want to put back your HTC back factory default
Unfortunately that standard hard reset, doesn't do it. I am still stuck at reboot, and the radio rom version shows the attempted upgrade version (01) that started the problem in the first place.
i tried some of them according to herein, but some of them were not function.

there's a little icon called "clear storage" which brings your settings to the factory's default. what's wrong with it?
i'm stuck too in bootloader with my mda pro

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This may be too late, but there's no way to do any sort of a reset to revert back to a previous ROM... the only thing you can do is reflash the earlier ROM.

ok ... now the final BIG request ... who can give us an update that works. the patched Maupgradeut_noid is not working with the latest upgrade.
thanks.
To revert back to clean copy of OS (i.e newly installed OS)
Hi,
Just to share with you my experience in reverting my phone to its original OS condition. Before that, just to give you guys some background.
1. Upgraded from PPC2003 to WM5
2. Tried install some patch to enable file transfer (OBEX) in BT
3. Suddenly, the phone screen gone missing. Phone shows No Signal. Cannot receive call.
3a. Did a OS reflash again, but still does not solve the problem.
4. **Panic for a moment **
5. Looked thro Program Files, and seems like some appln i installed were not erased despite doing a hard reset. So, i guess the hard reset doesnt erase some portion of the memory
6. Googled for a solution, but most said do hard reset
7. Went back xda-developers.com site to look for solution
8. Finally found a method. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1164331 to do a format on the memory
Now, my phone is working fine. The phone screen is back and it shows my telco name, and can receive call
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Choon
you're in the wrong forum mate
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.
i was loading the Touch-IT v2.3 beta for wing rom when i got an error and my phone froze up and would not connect to the pc so i soft reset it and now my tmobile screen freezes on load if anyone could help me it would be great.
I got the bootloader runing but i just wanted to see should i try installing the rom again or reload the original 1
Try to install official Tmo RUU
Try pressing and hold camera and then press into the soft reset hole if its the wing and then try and run the hard spl...if that doesnt work then im clueless....hope i helped...
k thanks i got it now
i ve got the same problem.. how di you fix your??s
Try a hard reset push the soft reset button on the side and hold both of the soft keys keep holding the soft keys until a black screen comes up with white lettering. than press the call button hoped that helped
Sorry quick thread hijack.. im reading here and getting ready to unlock/flash my girlfriend's tmobile wing and was wondering.. if you brick your phone, does a hard reset always return your phone to working, OEM condition? or is it possible that you could permanently damage it beyond hard resetting repair?
Thanks!
you can brick your phone beyond repair, but its actually rather hard to do so. Most people THINK they've bricked their phones, but they actually haven't. Just HardSPL the phone, and it will be virtually unbrickable.
Hard reset essentially reflashes your rom over your current installation. it wont return it to the original rom that came with the phone, but i will reset everything.
thanks! i'll remember that.
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..
Hi everyone,
I've unplugged my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) while it was synchronizing with windows 7 and stock on synch. with no actual progress, then I removed the battery but only the "smart mobility" and RGD displayed and then nothing happened "black screen".
Do any one knows what happened and to fix it back to normal?
Thanks,
Suficom,
I think that the register and/or the system files and/or the ROM's software of your phone were damaged somehow with a little or high intensity that I'm unable to especify now.
If you did'nt get it fixed yet, try to remove SIM and SD cards and then restart the BlackStone (it worked to me once...lol). If negative, try a Hard Reset on that. If it don't work too, I'd advise you to put a new ROM on your HTC; but be aware that doing this two last procedures, you will loose all out of the information of yours that isn't placed on the SD card.
Tell us your progress!
Good Luck!
Stay in peace!
If it was just synchronizing you can just do a hard reset (hold vol down + power). This will reset your phone to factory conditions.
If you were flashing a rom which failed, you should download a rom and flash it to your phone. You can download the stock rom from the HTC site.
