Hey, Just recently I tried to change my windows mobile theme, just the color of the title bars. I do have the kaiser tweak and HTC 5 button homepage thingy. The title bars didn't change right away so I turned the device off and on. Yet when i turned it back on, it freezes on the ATT startup page and displays the three different numbers on the bottom corner, i think they're some kind of IP or radio. Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with my phone? I'ved tried taking the sim card and battery out for awhile and attempted to do a hard reset with the two soft keys and reset button, but nothing happens when I hold the buttons. Any help would be great, I need to use my phone!

I'm really surprised that a hard-reset did not restore you to OEM settings...
WHEN you get restored to where you want it... Try: http://rapidshare.com/files/68506785/UI_TWEAK.ZIP
It works awesomely!
It even catalogs all .tsk files and U can export as well.
Best of luck!

just an FYI:
HTC Kaiser - TyTn II - T-Mobile Vario III
A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.
===> OR <===
Press and hold the Left & Right SOFT KEYs and at the same time use the stylus to press the RESET button. Release the stylus but keep pressing the SOFT KEYS until you see the Hard Reset warning screen. Release the SOFT KEYS and then press the LEFT PHONE KEY.

Just to be clear, the soft keys are those two above the keyboard when the device is slid open....? right? Also should the device be powered on when I do this? How long to I have to hold down the buttons? Thanks for all the help!
Thanks I was able to do the hard reset, I didnt know the correct soft keys.

I did the search, but not finding anything...Thanks for the help
Not sure what you want... but you can go to Start...Setings....System and choose CLEAR STORAGE and that will give you a hard reset as far as whiping data.

Don't forget about your good friend, WIKI.
I hard reset a TILT that was locked up after installing Blackberry connect to SD card (known issue). Hold down the two soft keys, then use the stylus to press the reset button for a few seconds, then release while still holding in the soft reset buttons. The warning message comes on, and as said earlier, use the green send key to initiate the data wipe.

interestingly, it does not work on my TyTN II.
However, its working on the Trinity.
It worked on my Kaiser/Tytn ll. Thanks!!!
not for me :-(
Hi,
maybe me being stupid, but this procedure does not work for me. Problem is that I installed software for the iGo bluetooth keyboard (I know ...) and ever since the Kaiser is resetting itself every 30 seconds. So what I get is only the smart mobility message, a short vibrate and then back to start. Anyone any idea how to get out of that? May I just press the wrong softkeys?
many thanks in advance

new situation: the keys I press are definitely the right ones, I can also get into bootloader mode. I flashed the original rom (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship) back which finished successful but the situation is the same. When I hard reset I am told it has been done, being asked to press the green button and it reverts to the old problem immediately. I should say that I have not modded my device so far, it was in original state before I installed the above mentioned software. Could it be a coincidence and it is a hardware problem?
HELP!!!
I found hard-resetting my HTC TyTN "GB" somewhat unpredictable. Holding down both soft keys while depressing the reset buttone is the correct procedure. It's either related to the HTC_END.cab. Do you have this installed?
Cheers
Strange, can't perform a hard reset either, using the softkeys of my TyTn II. No matter how long I press and hold them, no message screen, no option to hard reset.
The only way is to use Clear Storage.

It's in the Kaiser Wiki, under 'Kaiser resets'.
this is what is says...
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel
1. what buttons are the soft keys..
2. i pressed the power and the camera buttons then the reset set pinhole button.. release the reset pinhole button after the keypads lights go off still nothing..
I've searched the forums, and can't find a report of anything similar...so this might be new...if it isn't, help locating a thread would be great.
- Downloaded Blackberry connect install cab
- Seems to install fine (log looked good before reboot)
- Press "ok" to reboot device, but upon reboot, the device screen is locked at the Windows Mobile screen
The unit seems to be operating fine... I can receive calls - the phone rings, the caller ID pops up, but it stays on top of the Windows Mobile boot screen...
The power button will not shut the unit off...only turns the locked screen on and off
Battery removal and reboot freezes at same spot.
I had deselected all the ActiveSync options including the 'connect via USB' option... and now can't view my device from my laptop...
I've had the TILT only a couple of days...I'm running the stock ATT Tilt ROM & software...added two themes (night palms and the planet reflection ones)... have a 6G microSD card with some songs, pictures, and a device backup...
Looking forward to your suggestions & solutions!!
I tried it on mine and it did the same. So I gave up and did the hard reset and started over without even attempting to install the bb connect.
after hard reset
thanks for the quick response...
the hard reset worked fine...
I repeated the bbconnect setup, this time installing to the device instead of to my card... everything worked fine.
How did you do a hard reset on it?
hard reset
a hard reset will wipe all your data and set it everything back to the default status...it isn't supposed to clear anything on your sd card ... i take mine out anyway.
to do a hard reset, hold both the soft buttons while pressing the reset button w/ the stylus (the reset button is on the bottom edge under the hard OK button )

One thing the instruction did not say rright was to hold the two soft keys and then press the reset then release and wait for the screen to give the instructions. Well the real way is to hold all 3 and wait and the process will be on its way.

this is just not working for me, how long are you pressing the stylus in? how long are you holding the buttons?
When I do it I get the AT&T logo screen (a short vibrate) then it continues to the windows mobile boot screen. I can never get the prompt to erase all data. I've tried the procedure a dozen times, no luck.
Make sure you are pressing the soft buttons and not the 'call' and 'end call' buttons as stated on some sites. Hold those and press stylus into reset until it turns off. Continue holding the buttons until the message comes up.
I've just had to do this for exactly the same reason!
I had the same problem on my Touch. After the hard reset I have found a solution: install application to device memory not on storage card. That helped me and now BB Connect is working fine.
I installed the official WM 6.1 update on my Kaiser, and now it won't boot - it just hangs on the HTC splash screen. The bigger problem is that hard reset doesn't seem to work - I press and hold the 2 soft keys, press the reset button, and then it just does a soft resetback to the splash screen.
Can anyone help? Please?

thats because you are not properly pressing the two soft screens. Do you have big figures? if so you might be hitting the keys next to them accidently and the phone just soft resets when you put style in to hole.
Make sure you don't touch the other keys except the 2 soft keys together at same time and while keeping them depressed insert stylus and than keep this for a second and the restore will come up.
p.s. use chop sticks or something else or grow your nails a little lol so you can press the keys easily
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in as the phone will NOT hard reset if it is.
Thanks for the ideas guys, but still no luck. Fairly sure I was pressing the buttons right anyway, but I've tried with a couple of pens, and no USB cable in sight, and it's not done anything different. Any other suggestions?
Will the phone go into the bootloader (hold Camera button while soft reseting)? If so, then just flash a different ROM.
Thank you, that's sorted it!
Good to hear that worked. There have been some isolated reports on the site regarding certain OEM ROMs preventing the traditional hard reset from working. Look like you found one of them!
Hi guys,
Great forum, unfortunately i can't find a solution for my problem. Here is my problem: I installed Diamond TF3D Config on my phone and i tweaked a couple of things, everything went well untill i changed the TouchFlow menus.
It automatically restarts, but the loading process can't pass the HTC logo screen and now it says:
" The Device is unable to boot because either you turned of the device incorrectly...----- Press SEND to reset your device..."
Well, ofcourse I followed the instructions and pressed SEND, but it looks like it doesn't do anything at all. The error screen above keeps displaying, without anything telling me that something is being done about the problem. Is it doing something or is it just stuck? (The light is continously on).
Can you guys help me? By the way I tried the manual hard reset, but that didn't help.
did you hard or just soft reset?
well i did a soft reset, that didn't work out keep getting that screen.
and I tried a hard reset but that wasn't possible, because i couldn't get in the device, so it pretended it was a soft reset..
but do you know if it is doing something or not , cause i get the screen continously with the lights on
PM the developer... sushilange... and then post the solution here for us all to take benefit of.
Not sure of your full situation, but two options that may help; hard reset, or connecting phone to pc and try running an RUU install; of course all data will be lost, device could be as well.
---- Hard Reset Option ----
To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold both softkeys on the device (the little dots above ok, and windows key). Keep these keys pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of your device.
NOTE: I had no idea which of the many keys were considered the soft keys. They are the two buttons above the phone control buttons.
2. Release the stylus but keep the softkeys pressed when you see the following message on your device screen:
“Do you want to erase all user data and restore to manufacture default?”
3. Slide open the hardware keyboard, and press R to restore to factory default or press X to exit the hard reset process.
Note:
Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed
--- RUU install ROM --- (this is for the mogul, you'll have to find your own, just reading material)
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/mogul/software-downloads.html
k I will. And this guy has the necessary knowledge?
bjason6 , thanx for your help
but I don;t understand.
hardware keyboard, a diamond doesnt have a keyboard or do you mean something else and where are the two soft buttons i cant seem to find them
This is the proper way to hard reset the Diamond (taken from the wiki):
Switch the device off. Press and hold the "Volume Down Key" and "Action Button" (round button), at the same time, use the stylus to press the red RESET button in the stylus silo. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit'. If you press R, your device will be set back to factory default settings.
Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device: Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this.
After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device.
I thought the phone must be on for the hard reset to work, because I doesnt work on y phone
and oh, the SEND button is just the phone button right? the one beneath the House-button?

Hi guys,
After some applications being removed, my X1 was kind dead and I just did a hard reset. After reset everything looked fine though some software I need to re-install. However, I could not find out the small keyboard icon at bottom centre when I pointed to a text area to type. I was trying to use the hard keyboard but don't know how to type underscore "_", If anyone could help that will be great.
Thanks in advance.
Brian
maybe second hard reset will solve problem...
hard reset with soft keys method:
1. turn off device
2. press both - left right soft keys (silver keys under screen)
3. while pressing soft keys press power button to turn on device
4. keep holding and don't release soft keys until blue text with white background appears.
5. slide out keyboard press "R"
6. wait a little and press SPACE when asked.
hope, it'll solve problem. if will not, try reflashing ROM again.
thanks ork.
I will give a try and let you know if it works.
what file are still have after hard reset?
how about the panel??
how about the game??
how about the ringtone?
how about sbp mobile shell?
how about tf3d??
