Hello everybody
I have a HTC Shift on which Win XP was recently installed . The problem is that it doesn't see the Snapvue part - I can't open it and can't acccess the Comm manager either. In Snapvue I just get a white screen, with the HTC logo - and the comm manager button (upper right) doesn't do anything when pressed.
The guy who installed the Win XP said something about using Active sync to enable communication between the 2 processors (?!) - The device has Active Sync installed, but it just tells me it can't synchronize.
I am a girl, as you probably noticed, and know very little about computers and stuff....Could someone save me? I ned a step-by-step guide for solving this problem, but written for DUMMIES (such as me
I also understand I could reset the device to the original Vista - but have no idea how to do it?!
Please help - I've been looking at my Shift for 3 whole days, and am getting al depressed..
Thanks in advance!

Did you turn off the device completely? I would remove it from the power, remove the battery, and give a 10 to 20 secs and put battery back and boot it.
Let me know if you have issues.
To restore it to Vista, if the recovery partition is not swiped, just press Fn+3 at the boot time and once it goes into recovery, and just follow the steps.
didn't work....
I tried removing the battery, nothing happened
When I press Fn + 3, it just goes on and starts Windows XP normally (the xp "half" works allright - it's the comm and snapvue which are dead )
Any other idea? Is there any hope ?
oww, now it's really nasty!
I insisted on pressing the FN+3 , and after one or two questions (if I wanted to continue etc) it said "invalid data on recovery partition" - and now the screen just shows black and there's no winxp anymore - I suppose I should write some commands, as there's a white line blinking....but I don't know how to do it.....Heeeelp!
If XP has been installed in place of Vista, then the recovery partition has been wiped, so FN + 3 will not work for recovering Vista.
The Vista (or XP) side and the snapvue side are two totally different entities, so you can wipe the hard drive and snapvue will still work, as it lives in ROM.
So you have 2 separate problems, you need to re-install an OS, and you need to find out why snapvue is not booting.
I managed to enter the bios ( pressed DEL) and it says that hard drive Toshiba etc is "disabled" - so no wonder it can't boot...
Could I do something to enable it or whatever?
Or should I give up ?
Hi,
Who installed XP for you?
Since you need to now 1 or 2 things about computers to do so, I think that person is the one who can help you and do it the quickest....
Other wise you need to post a message after every step and then wait for one of us to respond.... that would take days if not weeks....
Given your name, I guess you don't live near Enschede, the netherlands do you?
Otherwise You could come by and I could give it a go....
greetz,
Pfeffa-rah
no, I live in France at the moment! But thanks for the offer anyway!
I guess I'll just take the thing to a repair shop or something
As for my name, it's "Clockwork Orange" inspired - I'm a great fan of the movie, although I'm French.
No comments regarding the guy who installed the XP! We must keep this discussion civilised!
Thanks a lot , everybody!

Hi guys,
I try to update my Polaris, but I can not find the way, how to make it work under Win Vista. I already find many threads which describing this issue, but it does not work for me. I did actually the same on link below, but no luck. My notebook I am using is Vostro 1500. Actually all my trials end up on unsuccessful Hard SPL, which I can not upload, because it does say Error 262. Any good idea will be highly appreciate.
Thank you.

same here...
Running Vista Business edition (SP1) and it works here too, but I rather prefer to flash using the SD card. Requires that you have HardSPL installed:
1. Copy the NBL file to the root of your SD card
2. Rename it to POLAIMG.NBL
3. Press and hold the camera-button down while you insert the pen in the reset hole
4. Release camera button when device has reset
5. The multicolor line screen should display information about the contents of the image and ask you to press the powerbutton to start flashing.
6. When "flashing complete" is displayed perform a normal reset
I've used this method 10-12 times now and never had any problems. The beauty is that I can have several ROMS on my SD card so I can always re-flash of change ROM if needed even when I'm on the road.
If you don't sync with exchange remember to backup contacts and appointments before flashing.

Heya! Ok, what i did was the following,
1: hold down the 2 function buttons on either side of the joystick (NOT the call answer and call kill buttons, between them )
2: while holding the buttons down, use the pen and press the reset button at the bottom of the phone.
You should now have a bootloader screen, with an HP logo, and SERIAL or USB line of text at the top, and a G.39 version text at the bottom of the screen....
Activsync need not be connected at this stage, just your USB cradle or cable....
3: Download and extract the _Sable___G3_DEVICE_ONLY_hw6915-1.21uk.rar file from above... remember to delete the files from folder - CEBL.nbf, RadioFS.nbf, RadioOS.nbf..
4: run the sableRUU.exe ... this will now install the CE OS in english....
mine has been in brick phase for weeks now, its the first time i managed to get the OS back up! Now i need to sort out the GSM problem....!
Hope this helps!!!
Thank you guys

hello everyone! i have read some topics of the forum and i really liked it!
well here is my problem!
I just bought an HTC Touch 3g mobile phone... and i downloaded a program named "LEng" in order to translate windows into greek! When the program asked me to restart device i clicked "yes".
From then the device "stucks" on the windows loading screen and never goes on!!
Well my question is:
Is there any way to format the device and reinstall windows? or should i do something else?
thanks in advance!
You should do a hard reset, don't have a HTC device myself but found this page which seems to help you with it http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryjones/2193904710/
to follow those steps the device should be activated.. Mine cant load windows
btw thx for posting
The guide says only "power on", it doesn't require you to load Windows. I understood your device does power on, it just can't boot Windows.
Hi everybody!
I finally have come to a satisfactory end with the installation of WinXP Home SP3 on my HTC Shift.
Nevertehless, while having the XP features running nomally, I got trouble starting the TabletPC side of the things, i.e.:
1. There is an icon for the on-screen keyboard "Tablet PC Input Panel" in the taskbar (on the r/h side) but it doesn't open-up anything.
2. I also have this "Get going with TabletPC" in Start Menu/Programs, but clicking it doesn't start anything.
3. During Windows start-up or shut-down I can see the on-screen keyboard for several seconds.
I wonder if this is a due to a faulty install of the TabletPC patch or something else that I did wrong. I remember that after installing the patch I had a special welcome screen of the TabletPC offering 2 options to follow - one was "Get going with TabletPC" and another one I can't remeber the name of. Anyway, I did not chose any option, I just closed that screen and went ahead with the installation of the drivers. So far I did not find a way to start that welcome screen again.
In MyComputer / Properties / General I can read MS Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005.
The installation sequence was XP Home - Patch Tablet PC - Drivers - Windows updates - I guess that this is the correct way.
Running the patch again after the drivers and updates, on Step 1 I got the message that the program cannot write to all the registries as some might be busy with other programs. Running Step2 doesn't change anything.
BTW: what is Step 3 for? It was not mentioned in the HowTo installation guide to be run (only Steps 1 and 2), so I did not touch it.
As this is the first time I see TabletPC at work, I kindly ask for good advise from the more experienced people on what to do further to make the TabletPC side work.
Here are also a few questions more:
a) Does the TabletPC Patch work OK with WinXP Home SP3 or does it require WinXP Professional? (I installed Home thinking that it is smaller and lighter)
b) Where to look in the installed files on c:\ and what to look for in order to make sure that the TabletPC files are there
c) How can I bring back that welcome TabletPC screen to play with it
Thank's very much for any usefull idea!
Hi!
It looks that there are very few people left on this forum still using Win XP on their Shift and also reading my thread....
To make the above raised topic more simple let me rephrase one question for the start:
Are there any members having on their HTC Shift the Tablet PC patch installed based on Win XP Home and NOT on XP Professional? Does the Tablet PC work all right with XP Home?
I certainly would much appreciate any confirmation or denial. Thank you.
Size of the TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2.exe file?
Hi everybody!
Please, I need somebody to confirm me that the correct size of the TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2.exe file is 154734723B in Windows Commander, shown also in Windows Explorer as 151109kB. I need to know if I got the correct file, if not then that would explain my above mentioned problems.
Thank you!

Hi axelTP2 !
Since i ordered this days an used Shift (hope it will arrive tomorrow) im thinking of upgrading my Shift with XP or Win7 (I hate Vista)
So i looked a little around and find this at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Tablet_PC_Edition#Tablet_PC_Edition
"Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is based on Windows XP Professional and includes all the software features provided in it"
So i think your problem is related to the (lighter) version of XP Home...
OK im not sure what i should use XP Pro as an lightweight OS or Win7 for full further support maybe give Vista a try for a few days

Hi tokl,
Thank you for answering.
No, my problem is not related to the use of XP Home. I have tried XP Prof with the same negative result. I think that the problem is related to a bad pack TabletPC_PatchXPproSP2 that I have downloaded from the only source that I've found.
So I keep digging for a solution on this topic.

This is probably more work than just a simple file patch, but since this is a technical site by nature, I don't think it's too much to put this suggestion here, which is a tutorial for you to patch your XP youself to make it w/ full Tablet functionality, same as real Tablet Edition:

Hi guys,
I'm probably being really daft and missing something really obvious but I've been going round in circles for about a week on this now without any success and starting to tear my hair out. Proficient enough at flashing ROMs [the joys of HD2 ] and been working in IT support and consultancy for 20 years so the PC side is OK too - have tried searching through the various threads on here along with Googling but can't seem to find anything conclusive regarding my situation and hope someone could point me in the right direction.
Orange M5000 - rebranded HTC Universal, obviously
Pressing Power + Lamp + Reset does not appear to take me into the bootloader - I don't get a screen saying 'SERIAL'
I get a screen offering the following options:
Boot Options:
Enable KITL
Clean Registry Hive
Format Storage
with the following at the bottom of the screen:
R 1.03.00
G 42.36.P8
D 1.30.90 WWE
Using the small curser keys and button below the screen I can select any of the above options and select YES or NO
Pressing the button changes to another screen with a white background and the following options:
Select KITL Transport:
USB KITL
SERIAL KITL
Ethernet KITL
Select KITL Mode:
Active
Passive
And I can get no further...
I realise that we're probably missing something really obvious and/or basic out but for the life of me I can't find the answer! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the prompt response! Had guessed that problem would be something basic we were missing
Now we've come across another!
We can get into the bootloader fine with it showing SERIAL and when we connect the cable it changes automatically to USB. But...
Trying to run MaUpgradeUt_noID always gives an Error 150 ROM Upgrade Error - tried running as Administrator - no change
Its interesting that the picture in the utility is not of a Universal - dunno if this is relevant?
If we try to use the ROMUpgradeUT that is in the ROM directly, we get an Error 101 Connection Error
Picture in this instance is of a Universal however - again, dunno how relevant this is?
We'll get there

Works fine for flashing my HD2 via the usual methods.
Guessing there's either something we're missing in terms of running some compatibility settings [although we've tried] or that it may be a driver issue. Drivers noted in the thread about flashing Uni from Vista won't install however...
