My windows button next to the home button does not work it has not fallen or anything. The start on upper left side on the screen doesnt work either! When I click on them I just come to an strange mode there it ask me if I want to lock the screen....
ok it seems nobody have a clue... then I maybee will softreset my HD2.
Did you managed to fix this?
My Windows button, back button and volume buttons all stopped working yesterday
I reset the phone. Now it works again
Did you have to do a hard reset or did yours start working with a soft reset?
just reseted it from the meny. I dont know the difference hard or soft. Im a noob hehe

Soft reset is like turning phone off and on again.
Hard reset sets phone back to factory settings like you turned it on for the first time.
why are there still ppl that ask questions before they rebooted the phone......... god, thats rule nr. one xD

Hi,
I've a problem with my phone : my dizitalizer screen is out of run and i have been done a hard reset of my phone.
Now the message "tap your screen to set your preferences..." (or something lika that) appears on the screen. Is there a solution to bypass this step or not to see this message after a soft reset ?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but, "Tap the screen" means just that.
Whats wrong with the screen?
And just for your info, a soft reset is either:
1. Hold Power button longer that 15 secs and turn off / back on.
2. Pressing the recessed button on the right hand side.
A Hard reset is when you hold both the Comm button and Voice button at the same time and reset using the indented button. Keep them held while the device cycles and the reset screen appears.
Re: Screen digitalizer HS and hard reset
Yes I know but my dizitalizer is out of order so I can't tap the screen...
(I used my pdafone without stylet until now since my screen is out of order)
I look for a way to bypass this step because it's physically impossible for me to do the operation.
Thanks for your help.

Any idea ?
a solution
i think i've found a solution. the problem is the software 'welcome' that is in the startup folder of windows. Is there a way to remove it from the rom ?
cook your own rom
Well, people do cook their own roms. Xelencin and summiter do so regularly. moyofalaye has done so too. The welcome screen is part of the ROM as opposed to the extended rom, so that it is a more involved thing to remove it. On the other hand, I am sick and tired of changing my appointment with Dr. Johnson and would welcome a ROM that avoided that part.
im trying to hardreset my p4350, but nothing is working.
i tried with an earring and i can't really feel the reset button in the hole on the bottom.... i can't get it to hardreset.. i hold down the two softbuttons which i finally figured out are the lines not the red and green and not ok/windows... anyway... i hold htem down, press the reset hole, then nothing.
do you do this with windows trying (and failing) to boot, or with the power off? i've tried it both ways with no sucess =(
so you also cannot softreset????
try a hardreset by "start - settings - delete storage (or so)" i guess.
but i cannot belive that you even cannot softreset. and when you can softreset - you should be able to hardreset

holdin the softkeys for 5 sec and once pressing the reset button should do the trick.
but when nothing happens.....
simply throw off the battery for 10 secs, then put it again, press power button shortly and press softkeys and hold it. it will help you without reset!

The hole in the "bottom" ie. next to the charging / sync port is your microphone - please do NOT go poking around in there, or you will wind up with a non-working phone.
The reset button on a Wing is on the left side, directly below the volume slider. A paper clip or ball point pen should work, if you don't have a stylus.
Good luck!

I erally, really hope that this is not the soulution.....

Were you able to get it to reset by using the correct button? If so, does your microphone still work - have you tried placing a call to see if the other person can hear you?
Good luck!

Hi all,
This is my first thread after being around with the availble great roms for awhile, this morning I came across a weird problem, somehow when I try to hard reset my X1 ( 2 silver buttons, reset button with stylus ) it just reboots back, like a soft reset. So instead giving me the hard reset options, it just boots like normal with the SE logo etc.
This is the same when I try too enter the rainbow bootloader screen, device shut off, removed battery and reinserted. But when I press volume down and power button, is just reboots as normal.
The weird thing however is, that I am able to flash roms when I use the ruu tool, it just goes to rainbow screen by itself, I just cant do it myself with the hardware buttons, or do a hard reset! This always worked.. Any ideas ?
Edit : I reflashed hard-spl, did nothing to solve this.
Thanks!
To hard rest, it's the soft keys and the main power button, not the with the reset button.

no as long as your holding the two front soft keys when the phone powers on it should go into hard reset. but it only works properly for me when i use the reset button.
make sure your holding the two front keys until the HR screen comes up, again, don't just press them once, HOLD them until it says in blue writing on grey background, press r to reset then press the r on the keyboard to HReset
this is the same for entering bootloader, hold volume down (and make sure it is down not up) and power until you get the rainbow screen
Weird thing is, I know how to do these two tricks.
I did like 20 hard resets with the two soft buttons etc.
Same goes for bootloader, only that isnt a big problem cause
I found out I can use enterbotloader.exe in windows map. Maybe
theres a shortcut for the hard reset too? Thanks

I have the exakt same problem I use smabergs latest rom, and I cant hard reset or enter tricolor screen, please anybody know how to solve this?
hi guys!
long time with no post from me but today the stupid thing (HD) did it again
i installed an app for home page tweaking and after the soft reset my HD dosen't starts right
it boots, does what it does but it sucks on the black screen with some icons on the top bar and the names of the soft keys on the bottom bar. i can only turn ona anf off the screen by pressing the power button, but nothing else. screen doesn't react, soft keys don't react either
i don't realy want to hard reset it because it took few months to make it working right, but i would do also this if there is no other solution
BUT...
when i try to hard reset it it stucked again in the tricolour mode with "SERIAL" word on the botom
what is this? i can't write anything so what is this serial all about?
so, please let me know if there is any solution for:
1. step by step booting in order to skip the process or application that cause the stuck?
2. how can i hard reset the thinggie?
thanks a lot!
Had the same problem after I installed HTC home and HTC customizer...after a soft reset, TF3D failed to load and the phone froze. Had to hard reset in the end--thankfully, I run a backup once a week, so I really didn't lose anything. I was able to run 'Clear Storage' before TF3D's startup fail managed to freeze my phone. So it's all good on my end...
Backup backup backup...a little too late...
Maybe you are not doing the hard reset correctly, you press and hold both Vol up & Vol down keys, whilst holding down power button aswell until it turns on. Hard reset screen should come up.

Sounds like a software issue Hard Reset sounds best
What you are seeing (Tri Coloured Screen) is the boot loader it probably showed up because you didnt hold the volume up key when doing Hard Reset
its not a problem just remove battery
then do hard reset (make sure both volume buttons UP/Down are press at the same time and press power button ..........follow what the screen says
thank you guys for your opinions
i know how to do a hard reset (cause is not the first one) and i tryed severl times before i post my request here
