Hi people
I searched through the forums but haven't found anything similar to this.
I downloaded and installed EzInput Keyboard on my HTC Touch 2 a little while ago. It asked to reset and I pressed okay.
It reset, but stuck in the "HTC" screen. It took ten, maybe fifteen minutes and it went into a screen that says that it can't reboot since I installed something from an untrusted source. It asked me to press 'Send' to reset my device and any other key to cancel. I pressed another key but it did nothing. And I don't exactly want to reset my device since I have some stuff I don't want to lose.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
PS. I tried pressing the Send Key (I assumed is the answer key?) and it doesn't do anything.
Windows phone is not the same as windows mobile. under forum choices choose legacy devices, then your model. You will get a better response there.

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..
I need some help...I'm freaking out...
I cooked a ROM with dcd's version 1.6.9 for BELL a few days ago and it was wonderful and worked great.
Today, I tried to upgrade to version 1.6.10 and I f___ed something up.
It starts the htc boot up screen as usual, then the Bell screen comes up as usual, then a Sprint screen comes up briefly and then the Windows Mobile screen comes on and HANGS........
I have tried cold reboots, and nothing. I cant connect to it with USB.
I can kick myself for making an error because I was rushing......
Can anyone please help............................
Search the forums here, there's a way to have to phone boot into the bootloader where you can reflash the phone.
Cheers,
Tom
P.S. Have you tried hard reset?

If I recall correctly isn't it power, camera reset button????
Hard Reset:
With the Sprint Mogul I believe its holding the 2 soft buttons, the ones with dots on them, above the Red and Green phone buttons. Holding these down, push the reset button with the stylus and hold the two soft buttons for a few seconds, until something comes on the screen, which I can't recall at the moment....
Hi,
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my Tmobile Wing started vibrating and it wouldn't stop. I took a look at it and the front two lights displayed red and blue during this vibration episode. The only way I could stop it was by taking the battery out. After reinstalling it, I did a soft boot and it turned back on and worked perfectly fine for about eight more hours. Then, last night, it started vibrating again on it's own so I did the same exact thing as earlier in the day.
This time, it did not respond to a soft boot. It won't respond to a hard boot either. It won't take a charge (or at register it's taking a charge). Nothing!
The only thing that displays is a little BLUE light on the keyboard where it says, ALT. If I remove the battery, the light goes out. Once I insert the battery again, the blue Alt light goes back on. The phone is completely dead otherwise.
I have not done any hacks, updates, changes whatsoever. It didn't get wet and was not dropped.
Any possible ideas what the little blue light is supposed to mean? It's got to be some kind of service code or something? I'm pretty sure the battery still has a charge, but I haven't tried a new one. I even tried the plugging in the AC adapter and the phone still wouldn't respond at all. Is there any reason to think the computer would recognize it with the USB cable when it won't even power up?
Any solutions or where to turn with this thing? I think the little blue ALT light must signify some error code possibly......
Thanks.
it's the ALT key..
so you can input the blue characters on the keyboard.
you're phone is possessed.. sorry
can it go into bootloader mode(hold camera key and pole hole on side)?
if it can just flash a new rom into it or the original tmobile stock rom.
Have you hard-resetted your phone?
Which ROM are you using?
mv3, the answers to your questions.

what cube did you install?
well install ftouchflo config by schaps and enable ftouchflo
i suggest you uninstall your cube and install slithers cube here.
then either get ftouchflo config or get the _ftouchflo_config.txt file from the windows folder and make the down-up gesture to be slithers cube.

uhmm...no.
hard boot does not = hard-reset.
boot = to load your device.
there's no such thing as a hard boot or is there?
i assumed this person meant a power cycle..because if the device is not booting even after performing a hard reset command via hardware keys..blablablah..
saying you have a wing does not mention which of the stock ROMs is on the device.
so yeah... my questions werent answered.. :/

I might be using the words 'reboot' and 'reset' interchangeably (incorrect or not). What I have attempted to do is a soft reset by depressing the little hole by the volume control. This is what worked the first time for me. The phone will NOT respond to that now.
In attempting a hard reset, I pressed the two buttons on the front marked with a '-' at the same time as depressing the same hole. Nothing responds to this at all. Is this the corrrect procedure for a factory reset?
I'm not sure the exact ROM installed. I have not changed it at all since the phone was purchased, so it's original. Since the phone doesn't even work now, doesn't seem like I can find out the ROM version.

continue holding the 2 soft keys, don't release. a warning should appear.. if you press the 'Send' key... the send call/talk/etc button.. then it should initiate a dealer specified ("hard")reset.. if you press any other buttons, it will ignore the attempted hard reset.
if that doesn't happen.. then that's very uncool....
Well, after trying just about everything, I've pretty much accepted there's got to be some sort of 'short' to the motherboard. I think the ALT light constantly on signifies the phone thinks that key is indefinitely in a depressed state. Or something like that...........
same thing happened to my phone. does anyone know if there's a known fix for this?
Hi everybody!
Just got my Leo two days ago and I was bombed. Had a 4350 before and you can imagine what big a difference that is. But now this occured and I really don't know what the heck is going on here. Without any reason the Leo froze after not using it for two hours, just an active sync connec. So I grabbed it and it was frozen. Thus i did a soft reset. When it rebooted, for some reason it seemed like the first time I started the device, asked me for the time and google settings etc. Very confused. But then I came to the Homescreen, which was blank, just like after a hard reset. Ok, I thought. This is nasty but all my stuff was backed up, so what. I tried to switch to the settings panel and found it ultra super slow and the settings panel wouldn't even appear on the screen, just the title on top. I thought, this is wrong, very wrong and decieded for another soft reset. And now it won't boot at all. It stands still in the screen where it shows this pink circle and the RUU and whatnot version.
I am speechless. It just doesn't start, tried it like 4 times now. I didn't update RUU or anything since this thing is T-Mobile branded and it wouldn't let me. I tried it this morning but just got the error in windows that my device won't allow... After that I took it for a 3 hour ride outside and used it for like 10 more hours. And now this!
Has this ever occured to anyone else around here?
Any suggestions? I'm quiet angry right now, think I gonna return it tomorrow. Hopefully they don't say I tried to flash it or whatever since I did not. Cannot explain this to me.
Regards,
Zoimt
hi sounds like bad news have you tried a hard reset
Do a hard reset, press the up and down volume then at the same time press the power button. Keep all three pressed for about three seconds and a hard reset will start. If it happens again you have a faulty device.
I thought a hard reset is only possible in windows. Since I never come so far in booting process, I just tried it once but nothing happend. Not sure if I tried it for 3 seconds I assume I did

Take the battery out then put it back in. Once it's in press all three buttons at once until you see the hard reset begin. It will ask you to confirm by pressing the up volume button.
Oh boy! It started again! I thought I tried to hard reset it with the key combo you also adviced me and nothing happened but this time it worked. Thus I assumed it only works at a later point in the boot process. But thanks for showing me the opposite!
Man, this takes a load off my mind, thanks! Just hope this was a one time thingy and doesn't occur every 28 hours again.

Finally, and after a lot of web search and tries, i could discover how to make a hard reset of this chinese clon of the pharos.
it was hard for me, cause im newbie, so if someone else needs to hard reset his phone, here is the anser!
1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys.
2.- then press both red and green keys, and without releasing, press the back "reset" button. then release the reset button, and next release the other 2 buttons.
in this step nothing seems to happen, thats why its hard to find this is the right way to hard reset this chinese device.
and thats all, your phone starts normally as the first time!
u also can do a hard reset from the windows settings, but this time my windows hanged up when loading
i also discovered that turning this device ON with the end call key (red) pressed, it enters in a white screen with an icon of a hdd with a green arrow facing down to the hdd with the "downloading..." letters under it.
i think this could be the bootloader for this device, but i dont know how to go beyond this point.
the pc cant install its drivers when i plug the usb (and in normal mode it syncs well with the ActiveSync).
maybe i should put the rom files in the SD card, but i dont know where (in wich folder) or wich files...
SO if someone knows how to flash one of this devices, please tell!!
hope someone find this util, and sorry for explaining it sooo long, english is not my mother talk, so if someone wanna translate this (and explain it shorter) feel free to do it!
Hard Reset
hello!
I also have a problem with this phone clon HTC P3470. I installed HTCHome 2.1 and since then it is restarting or freezing before I can do anything. And even with yours instructions I can't do hard reset. I think that I am doing something wrong and I beg you if you can provide me a pictures where to push, because I can't make it.
Thank you!
RE: pictures
thats the same i tryed to install, and as the htc intructions to hard reset it didnt work for that phone i thougt it was lost.
i think maybe different manufacturers build this phone, so maybe yours have a different key combination to hard reset it.
did you reach any of the "downloaing..." or "calibrating..." screens? or you didnt reach that screens neither?
i will post some pics as soon as possible to help you, but in the meantime, you can search and try different key combinations for different phones, it didnt work for me, but trying and trying i discovered this one.
i found a page with a list of the most common combinations for different phone brands and model, but i dont remember its address, just google it, maybe that helps you!
Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately I didn't get any any of the "downloading..." or "calibrating..." screens. When do I need to do hard reset - phone is off or must be on (windows are loading, after that it freezes and restarts).
"1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys." I can't turn on my device with call key, only with power key. And (sorry) but I didn't find reset button, thats why I would like see pictures.
I will try more combos.
Thank you for now!
