I am having some problem with my MDA. Since two days, my text messaging has gone dead. When I press the messaging button on the phone, nothing happens. When I go through Start > Messaging - Nothing happens !! Even If i receive a message, the phone does not give any message.
I have tried soft reset as well as removing the battery and then restarting the phone but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You
What version of WM are you using and what provider?
Did you install any software in the near time?
If you did, what program did you install?
I am using WM5 and my service provider is TMobile USA. I have not installed any software recently.
^^Bump^^
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
If a soft reset and a hard reset were no help, try backing up your data and flashing to the official tMobile ROM.

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

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
After every soft reset, my pop3 email account disapear.
Could anybody help me ?
You probably have this problem along with a "no gsm" appearing on the screen after a soft reset (where the rom version should be), no IMEI number on your phone details (somewhere in settings I believe) and your WAP/GPRS settings gone.

Now, I think I've found a way to overcome the "no gsm"/vanishing IMEI/vanishing WAP/GPRS user-pass/etc problem, so you won't need to enter your email accounts again...ever...
After I uninstalled some programs and soft reseted it gave me a "no gsm" again... I hard resetted using the stulys as fast as I saw the "no gsm" during the boot, and kept resetting until it booted normally. When I went to check my network connections, usernames and passwords were still there... plus on sync it did not ask me again for my exchange password...
Again: always soft reset using software buttons (like SPB pocket plus) and any time you soft reset be ready to reset again if a "no gsm" appears where your ROM version should
I can't explain it but I believe it has to do with not letting WM5 boot up in "no gsm" mode :roll:

Assuming you've done the simple power cycle or soft reset, have you tried to hard reset the device? If you don't want to hard reset, then what have you installed recently?

A Hard Reset will COMPLETELY delete all your files off the phone and make it as if it was new. Hold the two soft buttons (the ones that are usually context sensitive) and then press the soft reset button while holding then. Then press the send key when it tells you to.
okay i can send text message but i cant send MMS at all can some one help again it keep saying error synchronizing does n e one kno ??
Do you have the MMS cabs for touch? Install the T-mo MMS first, then the other.

Hi have a slight issue with my Mini s, i believe its the wizard. When i go to send txt messages it tells me the phone is not ready and i have to wait 15 seconds, so i cant send msgs, i can still ring in and out, also when i try to go to phone settings it tells me to wait 15 seconds and try again, when i go to sim manager it tells me to again, wait! I believe at the moment it is flashed to 02 with an orange sim in it, its the G4? version. Its running wm5 i think, if i could have it flashed to orange on wm6 that would be great.
Any help on how i can overcome this problem would be great. Thanks
Matt
Perform Soft Reset first,check if it solves the problem, or Hard Reset,but remember you'l llose all your personal data by doing hard reset,but it might solve the problem.If nothing works,than its corruption of the extended_rom,you might have to reflash a rom.
To upgrade to wm6 read the guide posted here at xda-wiki ,be careful,if you say its a G4 device,its a bit sensitive device:-

Hardreset for Wizard is by pressing: Comm button + Voice command button and slightly push the softreset button with stylus.
Guide to flash a rom is posted in my above post.
you should reflash your rom I also has same issue and reflashing solved the problem.
Hi guys.
I recently installed Onyx Micro on my Elf, and it's been great. I needed a "Home" panel though, so I installed a Home application that I had on my memory card, and after that reset, my phone's been unusable. When i turn it on, it either hangs, or gives me an error that says something to the effect of "phonesyslog has malfunctioned", and then freezes.
I can't get it connected with Actiesync, I can't hard-reset it either. Any idea what I can do?
Can anyone help me?
Hi,
Did you try removing the memory card? In case that doesn't help, try pressing the camera button while starting up, this should enter the bootloader mode, which enables you to flash a new rom. Do this in Windows XP, as Vista can cause problems. If you've never flashed a rom, try searching this forum for an appropriate rom and a how-to-guide.

Hard reset should work and should be all you need to solve your problem. Make sure that you are performing the hard reset correctly.
For a hard-reset without access to the systems menu do the following:
Make sure the device is switched off, then press both the green and the red phone button and while keeping them pressed switch on the device.
A menu should appear, asking you to confirm the hard-reset.
(Upon confirmation, all data will be erased and the out-of-box state will be restored.)
In case that doesn't work, try flashing a rom that is native to your device
(as suggested above).
Good luck,
murosama
I got the same problem i tryed all off this but didn`t work did you find a sollution for yours?
