After installing Registry Wizard and tweaking stuff on my MDA Vario, my device rebooted and just stayed on the white screen displaying the operating system configuration screen. I couldn't do anything else with it - I thought it was dead! Having searched all over, I've written a piece about resetting your device here. The one that worked for me for this particular problem was method 3 (but I think method 2 works as well but I didnt have it at the time)
PS I found that it happens when you change the default input from keyboard to something else. Leave it at keyboard and everything should be Ok. Registry Wizard is nonetheless a COOL program, just don't alter the keyboard setting.
Hard Resetting MDA Vario
There are different severities of hard resetting your MDA vario. Which one you use depends on what you are trying to achieve. If your phone is stuck and wont let you play, try the hard core resets (progress from method 1 (less sever) to method 3 (most severe). If it’s just a bit slow, try the soft reset.
HARDCORE RESET 1
start>settings>system tab> Clear Storage
This will still clear all your data and all the programs you have loaded onto your device. You’ll need to start all over again.
HARDCORE RESET 2
I hold the Comm and Voice Button (top two buttons on the side) AND the camera button (bottom right). Keep them pressed in and hit the reset with your stylus. Keep pressed in and let go of the stylus. Release when you see the following message:
PRESS Send to restore factory default,
SEND is the green lift up phone button on the left
It will do a brief format and restore to factory settings.
HARDCORE RESET 3
If your MDA wont budge with HARDCORE RESET 1 or 2, try this:
Enter Bootloader, - hold the "camera" (bottom right) and briefly press the reset button, don't release "camera" until you can see colour screen, connect USB cable, and start to re-flash the ROM (download the latest flash rom update from http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
SOFT RESET METHOD 1
This is the lightest of the reset methods. This is the one to use if you want to reset your device without having to re-install all your personal programs and data
Simply press the reset hole with your stylus on the right hand side of the MDA device.
DEAD WHITE SCREEN
This was the most usefull help I have ever got ! Spent 3 hours in searching the forums, how to make my Wizard bootable after installing Resco Keyboard Pro. The only option was HARDCORE RESET 3 and reflashing the ROM.
Thanks for the great help !!!
cheers this has helped me too... rest number 2... will have to restore all my data though...
Reset 3 was the only thing that worked.

Thank you for all this great information I am currently typing with one hand wondering how long I should hold the camera button? If you could fill me in on this information that would br greatly appreciated. I have tried almost everything and i can't get away from this darn white screen. My Qtek 9100 otherwise seems to function
ok.
no sync
my activesync doesnt work i tried option 3 and went into bootloader mode tried the rom but it doesnt detect my phone. any suggestions
Re: no sync
Mehayuk, thank you, thank you and thank you again.
My MDA rebooted and it stayed with the white screen. Couldn't do a hard reset.
I thought it was dead. :evil:
Finally I found this thread and your number three method revived my Vario.
So thank you again for this most usefull post I have encountered on the internet. :lol:
Dead HTC Qtek 9100
I did hard reset my MDA with 3rd mothod. I was able to flash up to 100%. When device restart, it just stuck on T-mobile screen. I tried to do hard reset by using 2nd method but it didn't work, format failed. Is it posible that my rom is dead? Please help.
my device will not hard reset? i have tried everything i can think of: take off battery, remove sim card. no matter how long i hold the power and rest button or how many times i do it. my device powers back up every time with all my data still on there. the only thing is that the date always defaults to 9/1/2004. any ideas?
depend on the rom wm5 and up dont hardreset they require
chipondisk to be formattet in bootloader
to hard reset: press reset until you came accross the 'stripped' screen just simply press record + camera together before the version of your radio and the other appears on the right bottom of the screen, set the three options to no + yes + yes.. that will work...
to evoluzionne..
how to choose/change the no/yes options after its appear?
thanks before.
to choose and change the selection use the record and camera buttons at the right side of ur BA... check and recheck the wiki.. its all there..
cheers

Software incompatibility can cause your AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) screen to go "Black", without the ability to perform and can render the phone useless.."briking your tilt"
The following fix will return the phone to factory specs only if you were using AT&T ROM. This fix is NOT tested on Other ROMS:
1. Remove your SIM card.
2. Remove your Micro SD Card.
3. Do a Soft Reset.
4. Immediately when the black screen appears, press and hold the On/Off side button ( hold for 25-30 seconds ).
5. Wait for 1 to 2 minutes, until a message appears on its own, saying that the phone reboot is non-functioning due to installing incompatible software. It also asks you if you want to re-set the phone to original factory settings to press "send" ( They mean the button with the green phone picture on it on the bottom of the phone), or press any button to cancel the process.
6. Press the button with the picture of the green phone.
7. Wait for 2-5 minutes and the phone will re-set itself to factory specs.
8. Phone will shut down itself. Turn it on normally and start fresh.
Good luck!
I found this out the hard way. We should start a list of software that does it, heres the first that I found will black screen your tilt, do NOT use this.
Levenums taskbar battery meter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277790
You will black screen and lose everything with it as I found out twice on my tilt. It loads at widows startup during the windows screen.
Another non compatible program!
please note that if you install "arabizer13bn277.exe" or any of its product on your Tilt YOU WILL brick the device and you will need to re-set it to factory ROM.
if u do factory rest
we will loose all the phone nos & information of contact
Im not able to sycn & save Telephone nos & notes on induvisale nos
How else can i save nos on comp
or should i get a new phone & then ask AT&T phone people to help me set it on the new phone
Please help
While this won't BLSOD (BLack Screen Of Death) your Tilt, it will definitely kill your GPS and should be avoided at all costs - Map4PDA.
If you install it and run it, it starts searching for your GPS and eventually hangs, requiring a soft reset to recover use of the phone. After a soft reset, the GPS no longer works. Too bad there isn't an option to manually specify GPS settings because it's a sweet GPS mapping program ala Google Maps that can switch between MS Live!, Google and Yahoo maps (plus one or two others I think...).
Man i hope this works!!!!
I got the black screen from flashing wm6.1 from htc e-club site. The new OS came up fine but when I restored my files with Sprite (only because PIM back up log couldn be found on memory card) the annoying Att animation starts but when the WM6.1 screen is supposed to come up screen goes black. Tilt WILL NOT hard reset with soft keys and stylus! I even attempted to re-flash 6.1 in hopes for a hard reset that way, but usb is even un-responsive! If this black screen reset you posted works, be looking for a donation from me!!!
Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am new to all of this...but I have read, and read, and searched, and read, and have learned a good bit. But now I need HELP PLEASE!

If you have a HardSPL, re-flash your Radio to a newer version. That can fix a black screen if you just upgraded your ROM. Just remember that you may need to try a few before it finally works.
Cant flash anything til I get it to reset.
As of now the phone is TOTALLY bricked! My pc doesn't even recognize it when I plug in usb. Really I'm getting two different screens. one is lit up but black, and the other is bars going down the screen Blk-white-blk-white...

Ok it seems to be working. Any tips on restoring my data that was on the sprite backup?

This is from the manual -
To perform a hard reset using device keys
1. Press and hold the left SOFT KEY and the right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. (It helps to have three hands to do this part).
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press SEND to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.
3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the green phone button on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings.
It worked for me! It returned me to the WM6.1 I just installed!

I had the same exact dang problem about the whole thing about getting the new rom from e-club and using sprite to backup and then upon restore of my back up, i just got a blank screen. I did this trick here and it worked perfectly. The real trick is step 4 and 5. I did what step 4 said to do except i held on for 35 sec instead of 30. and then after that i just pushed the send key (green phone button) a couple of times and then just let it sit for the 1-2 min and the magic message popped up! I followed through with the rest of the steps and voila! It works!
P.S. Dont forget to put your sim card back in.
Anyone get positive result from this method ?
I'm not.
My Kaiser have a black screen after unsuccesuful ROM update, and I can't flash him anymore.
Because PC recognize it as Flash Device, but noone from ActiveSynch driver's does not approach for this mode.
Any solution, please ?
I bricked my tilt after upgrading to 6.1 and using sprite backup to restore my data. I fixed it by putting my tilt in to bootloader mode by holding down the camera button and using the stylus for a soft reset. Once in bootloader mode the usb port on the device worked and I was able to reflash the rom. I will use the new method to restore to factory setting without having to reflash the the rom.
i am having the same problem as supereri and rednekvolfan. did you guys ever figure it out?
Reset worked
Hi everyone.
I had the same issue - backed up data using Sprite Backup, upgraded to WM 6.1 then restored data using Sprite Backup and the custom Device Update file that Sprite Backup requested. The phone reset and then would show the initial ATT and 3G screens then black.
I used the modified steps outlined by live2c2morrow -that are a modification of asfoor's original post and they worked.
Black screen appeared - held the power button for 35 - 40 seconds, pressed the Green Send button a couple of times then waited - 5 minutes later I received the message that the phone failed to boot and was given the option to reset the phone to factory defaults.
The key is to be patient - the screen will appear eventually.
Also - the first few times failed and I think I was inadvertently pressing the PPT or wheel buttons on the other side of the device.
Thanks to everyone on this thread - I thought I ruined my phone!
Sprite Backup - upgrade
I am upgrading my Sprite Backup to version 6 and will try the restore again.
Hi
It's not the first time I flash my TytnII, but this time, I get worry about my phone...
I've tried to put the kaiser_wwe_shifu_v3.0 rom's.
According to doc, I've upgraded Radio and Hard SPL.
Radio is 1.70.19.09
Hard SPL is 3.29.
The upgrade of ROM was OK, but some stranges things appened therefore. The first boot, OK the device is configuring itself, and rebooting.
After the first reboot, the device is still "fresh installed"! So here we go another time to pre-configure it...(time, touch screen...)
After, it seems to be OK, but in fact, I see there's no more memory to completely startup the phone. Because the phone starts, but finally, a program (don't remember which one) says that it cannot start because lack of memory...)
I reboot, and since, me phone doesn't boot at all....
It display the startup page with radio , hard SPL infos, but no more, it seems to be completly block on these steps.
What could I do?
Thanks a lot
Have you tried to flash another ROM?
You can try this bij holding camera button while booting, you should see the tri-color screen. Connect it to your PC and try to flash again or another (maybe stock-rom?) ROM.
Good luck
No funny multi color screeen appears when pressing camera button while booting...
Can't connect a cd reader on it, and erase flash
thanks
Do a hard reset and see if that works, hard reset is hold down left and right softkeys and and hold in reset button with stylus until you get to a screen about resetting the phone, remember to back up any data on phone memory cos you will lose this after a hard reset
I want to second this problem.
After flashing the Radio to "KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01" and installing PDA corners newest ROM, everything worked fine. The only bug was that when I wanted to turn off the device by holding the power button, after choosing the turn-off option, it just restarted.
Now the phone doesn't start at all. Seems as if there is no power from the battery, while there was enough charge in it. When I connect it to the power plug, the charging/power led turns almost red, never saw that before.
This is not my first ROM-update, but this is the first time I've encountered this problem.
I tried hard and soft resets, removed the battery, tried to connect it to the pc, nothing worked.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Press and hold the camera and the power/ on buttons. While ho[ding both buttons, do a soft reset. Once in bootloader ( tri color ) flash your original stock rom.
What I already tried:
- hard and soft resets
- removed the battery
- tried to connect it to the pc
- connected in the power plug, nothing worked.
- tried the power button+camera+soft reset
I download the the same Rom....I I have the same problem.... I Reset with Pressing Camera and Power method....it went to the Hardspl screen and I load a new ROM...its working fine now.
