I would like to share with all of you a little trick that I have learned tonight.
I installed a software that caused the phone to get stuck at the green windows boot screen.
After searching desperately for almost 3 hours, I found the solution:
-Remove the battery
-Insert the battery again.
-Press and hold the UP volume key.
-After that follow the on screen instructions and...VOILA!
Hope you find it useful.
great find!
this combined with the normal :
start > system tools > clear storage , is very helpful!
Useful... It worked for me...
BR,
ERIC
Thank you, works fine!!!
It help me for user code reset...

(mods i would appreciate if you could make this a sticky for people... ive worked long and hard trying to get this thing working again)
Ok so heres what happened to my XDA which proberly happened to yours.
I went onto the 02 site and got the latest radio stack upgrade for my xda, but i didnt have the sim in my device so once it finshed and restarted the xda it crashed because there was no sim in it. So i hard reset it.
Causing it to hang on the boot screen showing the G & U letters on the side for about 4 minutes before booting to a blank screen with the keyboard icon in the corner.
*** Please remember at the moment my status LED isnt working showing there is no battery (but still booting etc - P.S i have installed a new battery - no diffrence) ***
Heres how to get it working...... remember that everything takes longer because the XDA lags like mad.
Ive created this guide myself ive took nothing from anyone else info ive done this from scratch, it will need to be done everytime the machine runs out of power (hard resets).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* when i put " + " it means AT THE SAME TIME e.g button1 + button2 = keep pressing them at the same time.
** I refer to the directional keypad centre button as the "OK" button.
Make sure you have the correct RSU Version from here :>
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_GSMError
Download it and put the files onto an SD card.
1. Boot up the device
2. keep pressing the OK button + volume button until it shows the today screen, please note there will be no titles on the screens, HENCE NO START BUTTON.
3. Then press the contacts button + THEN OK a few times, then press the OK button this should bring up the start menu
4. CLICK programs, file explorer, select the SD Card. Then Copy RSUPGRAD.exe to : my device > windows>start up.
5. Copy the remaining 3 files to the : my device > windows
6. Soft Reset Device
7. Click on start (on the upgrade util) it will then restart the device because theres no LED for the battery (hence the 1% then fail).
8. Once started it should then start up as it did when it came out the box giving you the windows setup screen.
9. Go into file explorer and delete tha flas util file from the startup.
Thats it!
- Remember if you hard re-set the device again it will need to be re-done, i dont know how to solve this problem LONG TERM, im giving my XDA to 02 to fix it...... been as its there screw up.

Thanks Everyone

Does this actually flash the gsm radio? If it does then why does it need reflashing following a hard reset?
No it doesnt re-flash it.............
All i know is that it fixes it and many people have had the same problem but had no replys so id thought id help them out :roll:
Where are he diffreneces to the instrucions on wiki????
Stefan
huh? so your saying someone has already written the instructions?
Do you have a link? it will be intresting to find out how i can get my LED working again so the system will be able to work once more.
EDIT: IF THE BATTERY LED/STATUS IS UNKOWN (as in my case)
"Maybe the upgrade will stop again at 1%, this may occur when you have an empty battery. "
Does not apply to you............... hence why my guide overcomes the one on wiki.
If you have had the situation happen to you, then you would undertsand.
would it be possible to use the xda developers 1.2 special edition ROM instead of the 1.1 version for this procedure?thats the only rom i seem to have found.
Boogie, I think you need only the radio stack not the rom if I read the post correctly. The special edition rom contains NO RADIO STACK.
That´s not 100% correct. I´ve noticed, that some ROMs wouldn´t boot up so that you can follow the procedure.....

hey guys this is my 1st post to this forum, but for the last year or so I've found it very helpful.
I was experiencing this same issue it would just boot up and hang on the welcome screen for what seemed like an eternity. I gave up and just left it booting up and finally the today screen came up. This is what I tried and it worked. All of this was after a hard reset when I tried to upgrade the radio stack and it fell into this infinite loop of 1% and fail and reboot. I had read a couple of the procedures for doing a radio stack upgrade but here is some of what I did.
In one of the procedures it says to copy the files to ur ppc windows directory and to copy the exe file to ur windows startup directory. I figured I would bypass that in some way. After I finally got to the today screen and used my pc to copy the files to the sd card, I copied all the files to the windows directory on the device and ran the exe file from the windows directory. It worked like a charm and my ppc was back to life. It no longer took for ever to get passed the welcome screen. I hope this helps some of you that have this issue
Hi there,
is there any way to skip the touchscreen adjustment (cause it runs eternally & without result) after a hard reset?
I tried ...
1) ...to read everything posted here
2) ... the "press center button + calender button"
3) ...the camera-button + on/off-switch + reset button (which led me to a basic screen with "v1.02" (but since i use a Mac nowhere else)
Once I get to a running system I might be able to update the Software-Version, but since I get nowhere else but "Touchscreen"
Thanks in advance for any suggestion!
also need a way to do that, maybe with some registry tweaks or so .. but cant connect to my mda vario when it is in adjust mode .. any1 can hlp? would be appreciated!
ty, brot
Hi guys!
I cannot enter the menu Settings\Connections\USB to PC , it simple do nothing. (i think it stop working after trying a SD to DISKMODE soft)
Can someone tell me what registry keys it use and modify ?
The only way to make it working again is a HARDRESET but i got too much software already instaled and backups carry the error that dont let me enter the menu.

Give the following a try. Dunno if it will be sufficient or working at all. (Make a backup before doing so).
Hope others will also post their findings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\70]
"Key"="\\Drivers\\USB\\FunctionDrivers\\Serial_Class"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
"DefaultClientDriver"="Serial_Class"
remove the space from Serial_Cla ss

Mine stopped opening a couple of days back. I wonder if we both carried out some identical activity that can be pinned down (not the above you suggested - does not apply to me). I had to hard reset 3 days ago and over past two days I've been reinstalling apps along with SKtools new app for me. Also been having problems not experienced before with Active sync wanting to set up new relationship on virtually every connection.
Anyway you try Menneisyys suggestion and I'll await your results. If evrything goes kaput I'll know not to bother.
Mike
GREATTTTTTTTTTT Menneisyys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thankyou very much!
Changing to this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Comm]
"Cnct"="`USB Default"
make it work again! It was set to "`USB" only
it stop working again... this time I cannot make it work again and I cant pinpoint where is the trouble.

Hiya
Just got my htc touch hd, installed a few cabs (Fennec, skyfire and what not), however when I now click on other cab files i have put onto my storage card, they will not install. The green highlight bar just flashes when i click it and the "Up" and "menu" at the bottom flash and disappear. I have tried double clicks, single clicks - the whole lot! Does anyone know why it is doing this and how it can be resolved please - without a hard reset lol.
Furthermore, my end key does not lock the device when I hold it, despite the settings saying it should. I have downloaded pocketsheild so hopefully wil;l; that fix it in a way? However I cannot install it!!!!!
All help appretiated, have searched but not much luck
Deren
soft reset fixed it! any ideas about lock?
