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

Hi,
I have a tmobile MDA (wizard). I attempted to install some software on it, but disconnected and rebooted before it was complete (it appeared to be just spinning).
Now after a soft reset, screen shows only 'Windows Mobile' after booting, and none of the buttons work and I can't advance from this screen.
Is there a way to hard reset that doesn't involve using the OS (ie, I can't click on anything because it's not getting to that point).
Also in this state activesync isn't detecting device.
Thanks in advance! - Chris
Hold down (and keep holding) the camera button while depressing the reset button. Hopefully it boots into a tri-color screen. If so, plug it into the USB port and, at the bottom of the screen, it should display "USB". If that happens, flash it with a *known good rom*, such as a stock T-Mobile rom. Don't try to be clever, the object is to get the phone working. Once the flash has started, *get up and walk away* for 15 or 20 minutes. Don't check in on it, leave it alone, It takes some time. When you hear it's little chime, it's done, rebooted and ready. If any of the above doesn't happen or the flash outright fails, then you may have trashed it permanently. It doesn't sound like it's beyond hope yet, however.
i have the wizard and im having the same problem after installing a ROM from this website...it just goes to the windows mobile screen with the numbers then shuts off...id really like to save my phone is there anything else i can try because that hard reset thing isnt working

Well same thing happened to me a few days back.. I had to Cold Reset [which restored it to factory defaults], but hey I got it working again..
Press Communication Button [Top Left] and Record Button [Top Right] at the same time and use the stylus to soft reset..
You will get a black screen, asking you to press "Send" to reset to "Factory defaults"
Press "Send".
Hopefully you should get your MDA working again ...
I read the "Above" in the HTC Wizard Service Manual [PDF] on the *last page* under the "Cold-reset" Section..
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 ;-)

NP. Glad you got your problem sorted
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.

It sounds like something happened when you hard reset the device, if the buttons were working before the reset. I would try flashing the shipped Rom and see if that helps. Good luck!!
