I had a crack in the side of my BA case and replaced it on friday. I pulled the battery, disassembled, and replaced the portion of the case that was cracked. I backed up all of my info prior to doing this thinking that I would have to reset the device after doing the work.
I am running Tuma 1.3.
After having the device unplugged for over half an hour and then hard resetting it It retained all of the info. I tried hard reseting it again and it kept restarting but wouldn't clear everything. I even downgraded to WM03, upgraded to 05 and it still kept stuff on the internal storage. Tonight I formatted the storage card. Deleted all the stuff I could in the internal storage, downgraded to 03, upgraded back to 05 and I still had some directories from the old install????? During the upgrade it also failed on installing the stuff in the EXTROM on my SD. I went in the storage card and have limited access to it. I can create a folder but get access denied when trying to delete it. I also cannot copy anything to my storage card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to truly wipe the entire device besides <power button> + <reset>?
hard reset in WM5 :
press power+reset, and before the rom, and radio version appears on screen press record+camera there are three options on screen with record button you go to the next option and you change setting with camera button. first option mus be setted at NO and the second and third to YES. After setting the options press mail button, it will erease everything in your device

Help!!!!
I am following the instructions for the upgrade to WM2005 from this location: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade however I am at this stage
When you are done, remove your device from the cradle.
Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes (well, this is the bootscreen )shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
* Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right
* OR, press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
I can not get the 3 options to come up on the screen and I'm just left with the device showing the coloured stripes.
Can anyone give anymore advise??
My device data is as follows prior to update PH20B 0 BENG G T-MOB005 1.06.00 0 0 1.06.160 1.10.00 10.00
hoping for good news

Decided to go back!!
Hi
Decided it would be best to go back to old version.
Ran the Official MDA update which changed the radio, ex rom and rom back
However on hard reset none of the extended rom is loaded. Ran the extended rom unlocker. I can see cabs in the extended rom but am unable to copy any of them, if i click on unlock i get the following error.
ERROR:
FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION - A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Is this because I did this in the attempted upgrade to 2005?
Setup the Storage size to get a full 60MB and not 43 MB
* Copy Repart_DOC.exe from the "Preparation\DOC repartitioning tool" folder to your device and launch it.
* Set size of Extended ROM to 128 kb
I set it to 128 as suggested, do i need to run this again but change the value???
Any help would be great
Thanks
Most extended roms are 16mb+, so I recommend instead of 128kb, i put it to 16000kb ;-) = 16mb or known as like 15.58mb
If you reset, press AND HOLD the camera and record button, then you will get the 3 options.
you can navigate through them with the record (down) and camera (select) buttons. if your done you can press mail, to "save".
Sorted
Thanks everyone for the advise.
I could not get the 3 options no matter how hard I tried. I then reflashed with the origional T-Mobile rom radio and extend rom.
I just could go without WM2005 so i tried again, flashed and hey presto the options appeared!!!.
The only thing I can think of and that should be added to the tutorial is to reboot after installing ActiveSync V4 as this was on the only difference, flashed 3 times with WM2005 before reboot and no joy yet after PC reboot all worked first time!
Just some feedback

Do any of you have a program that I could use to sync my phone to my Computer via usb? I've tried several versions of Tera Term with no success. I reached the point where I was ready to pull all of my hair out and then I remembered... I don't have anyway. Oh well. Please help I really want to upgrade my rom but I want to back up the old first. Thanks, Vern.
i think i don't understand what you're trying to do!?
Don't you use ActiveSync for Syncing with your PC?
And wtf is Tera Term???
This is what I'm trying to do:

1. Get a 128MB SD card. They're cheap - under $20.
2. Insert said card.
3. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386 and download the aWizard utility. CID-unlock your phone. (You only need to do this ONCE, even if reflash in the future.)
4. Get a terminal program that can speak over the USB port. There is a patched version of Terraterm out there, along with a few others. You need a way to connect to the device over the USB port as an ascii terminal.
5. Turn off the phone.
6. Holding the CAMERA key, press the power button for 2-3 seconds. Continue holding the CAMERA key until it comes up in the tri-color screen.
7. Connect the USB cable. Wait until ActiveSync tries to start. CTRL-ALT-DEL Windows and kill the process wcescomm.exe (ActiveSync's communication driver)
8. Now start your terminal program and point it at the USB port. Hit RETURN and you should get a command prompt. You are now talking to the phone's boot loader in terminal mode.
9. Type "r2sd all" and hit RETURN.
10. If you get a security level violation, you DID NOT CID-unlock the device. Go back to step #1.
11. The ROM image (all of it) will be written to the SD card. Several messages will be displayed while this is in progress. Note that this is NOT - I repeat - NOT - a filesystem-formatted dump - it is a RAW image of the ROM with some checksum information included. Anything on the SD card will be destroyed - don't do this with a card that has data on it you care about!
12. You can stick this card somewhere to be used for restoring. If you want to save the image off the card to your computer, stick the SD card in your computer and then dump 128MB of the card starting at the front (the actual dump is about 80mb but will always be less than 128MB, so that's "safe".) You will need a tool like "psdread" or any other tool that can do byte-level I/O to the SD card in your PC's reader for this.
To restore a SD-card image dump to the Wizard:
1. Write the image to the SD card. Again, this is NOT a filesystem - its a RAW image! Unless you saved the image to the card from the Wizard initially you will need a tool that can do a raw write to the SD card in your computer.
2. With the Wizard OFF, insert the card into the SD slot.
3. Hold BOTH the CAMERA and VOICE keys and press the power button for 3 seconds. Release POWER.
4. Look CAREFULLY at the Wizard screen. The backlight WILL NOT BE ON! It will tell you to press the VOICE button if you wish to restore the SD card image. This message only appears for a few seconds and the backlight is OFF! If you wait too long you will end up at the tri-color bootloader screen. Press the VOICE button (if you still have it down, let up on it then press again.)
5. The restore will run. Note that the backlight IS NOT ON during this process! You may need a flashlight (or very bright ambient light) to be able to read the progress meter.
6. When the process is complete it will tell you to press "any key". Do so and you're back in the tri-color bootloader screen.
7. Turn off the Wizard with the power button. When you turn it back on, it will hard reset just as if it was brand new off the firmware you just restored.
Note that this is the ONLY way to recover from a bricked phone if you try to load the wrong firmware file using one of the "forcible" methods (e.g. aWizard) on a non-CID-unlocked phone, and have bypassed the normal protection methods as ActiveSync cannot get back in there under these circumstances.
I strongly recommend that if you're going to futz with firmware, that you get yourself a 128MB card, make one of these dumps, and TEST the restore before you play around. This will recover from almost any botch - the only exception is loading a firmware file via some means (e.g. "aWizard") that the phone cannot execute at all.
Note that I do not know if this will get around the "boot loader version is too high" problem - I'm not willing to try it until I have an official T-Mobile update with a newer boot loader.
This same method for both dump and restore works on the SDA as well.
13. Overclocking the MDA (do so at your own risk!)

Don't forget to remove the ";" (without the quotes) at the beginning of the overclock settings in the configuration file!
How fast you can clock it depends on your device, it's just a matter of trial and error. 240 seems to be safe for the majority of HTC Wizard owners. No need for extra tools to wake overclocking up after a soft reset or standby. I haven't noticed severy battery drain, I can easily use my device a whole day and come home with the batterie well over 50% charged.
It's just a great little program. The integrated overclocking comes as a bonus to the tweak that the program was actualy made for, remapping buttons so you can open the start menu without using your stylus and close programs without using the stylus.
Have a look around on the HTC Wizard Blog, there is lots of other stuff that you may find useful.
And Number 4 is WTF Tera Term is. Thanks.
I tried to upgrade my SPV M2000 fromWM2003 to WM6 and that happened. I'm using Vista, just telling you because some of the guides I looked at for fixing that were specifically for Vista but they didn't work. Anyone any ideas? I don't mind having to stick to WM2003. Please someone HELP!!!
If someone helps me could you go through everything from how to get it out of the state it is in now to upgrading/downgrading to WM6 or WM2003 with links and stuff please. And if you can help could you add me on msn please. [email protected]

Do not put your XDA into the cradle yet....
1. Download USBAS file and extract to Desktop
2. Right click on My Computer.
3. Select Device Manager.
4. There should be one with Windows Mobile or something like that.
5. Update driver and slect USBAS file you extracted.
6. when completed insert device.
There you go
It isn't listed in Device Manager unless it is in the cradle.
I got it all sorted .
Glad to hear it....
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/ That's where I got the fix from .
You should start this as a new post
Don't suppose you want to help me find a WM6.1 ROM and help me install it, or point me to some instructions. Any that
I have found have had lots of download lonks and loads of other stuff I'm not sure about, the one that's on atm was just a siple double click and next job.

Hi,
this has the link with the walk through
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
This has the ROMS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403421
Install the ROM then the ExtROM
Thank You.
Here is the guide
Temporary Remove your SD Card (it may work for you with the SD card still in your BA, but better to be sure)
Put your device into Bootloader mode by pressing and hold the "Power" & "Record" buttons, and then press the Reset Button
Connect the phone to the sync cable/cradle.
Now you can upgrade the ROM using BaUpgradeUt.exe / MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
When the upgrade is completed, you must perform a Hard Reset
Press and hold the "Power" button, and then press the Reset Button. Colored stripes (the bootscreen) will appear on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, EITHER:
Quickly press "Record" & "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right
OR press "Power" & "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66:
Quickly press "Record" & "Windows Media" before the versions appear at bottom right EITHER
OR press "Power" & "Windows Media" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time
You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc, use "Camera" and the "Record" buttons.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66, use "Windows Media" and the "Record" buttons.
Note: The "Record" button moves up and down the menu and the "Camera" button toggles Yes/No. When you're done, press the button in the middle of the D-Pad to continue booting.
Press the "Mail" button. A white screen will show for 30 seconds, while it is clearing your device in preparation for the new ROM to start executing
When the bootscreen, aka. the colored stripes is displayed, wait more, you are booting. The welcome screen to set up your device will appear shortly ...
(if removed earlier) Put back your SD Card before you do the setup. This way the installation from the SD will continue after you have done the setup
Your upgraded ROM is now running!
During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder will be installed
I had to do a hardware reset on my tytnII and now it is stuck in the green windows 61 screen telling me
"
The device is clearing the storage please wait", turning off the device after a couple of minutes. Tried the procedure several times, incl. Removing the battery, but no success.
Any solutions would be appreciated!

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
Important If Encrypt files placed on storage cards is or was enabled before, then backup all files from the storage card before using Clear Storage, hard reset or updating the ROM system software. Otherwise you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on the storage card. Use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer files between your storage card and computer. After the procedure, copy your files back to the storage card.
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.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you see the following message on the screen:
3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and then press green button (phone icon )the HTC Kaiser TyTN II P4550 Hard reset Soft reset Hardreset Softreset button on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed. then reFlash with official ROM for kaiser
Thx for the hint, but that is what i did do exactly (= hardware reset !!!), that is after what i did get stuck in the green wndows 61 screen
Have you flashed any hard SPL?
You could try to reflash your stock Windows Mobile ROM by entering bootloader first
1. Find a stock WM rom from htc website
2. Enter bootlader by pressing power + camera + reset button, you will see a tri color screen with "serial" text on the white colored area
3. Connect your usb cable, the "serial" text will be changed into "usb"
4. Finally flash your device, execute the stock rom file that you've found before
Sent from my Android on Kaiser using XDA App
I have a XT1068 / Moto G (2014) with Dual SIM and an external SD card. The phone is not locked to any specific network.
The phone froze when I was taking photos a couple of days ago and is now stuck on a restart loop. It loads so far as asking me to enter the password to decrypt the phone. After accepting the password, it restarts a split second after the Android logo is displayed. I only had the phone for a week, I have the stock firmware installed and haven't performed any fancy mods / didn't root the phone. I honestly have no idea why this happened in the first place
I know that a factory reset will fix the problem, but it will also wipe out the data/media on the internal storage. I desperately need to try to access that media before I perform the factory reset.
Some useful info...
Phone is using the encryption feature
Media is all stored on internal storage, but I have an external SD card if that helps the recovery process (provided that I don't lose the media on the internal storage!!)
USB Debugging was not activated before the bootloop started occurring, and I have no way of accessing the UI to activate it now.
[UPDATE #1]:
Using the phone's bootloader screen, I am accessing Recovery > Load from ADB
When I connect the phone to my laptop via USB and run adb devices, the phone is being detected and listed correctly.
The device has a status of sideload. Any attempts to run other commands like shell or pull give me an "error: closed" in the terminal window.
I need to get unfettered access to run ADB in full (not just the sideload command) while in recovery mode but without wiping out the internal storage.
Any ideas on what to do next?
Anyone?
Hi!
So I am having the EXACT same problem,
I managed to fix it by making sure the phone is off,
Then, press the power button and the down volume key
After about 3 seconds let go of both keys and some texts saying recovery, factory.. should come out
using the volume down button, navigate to the recovery and to select, press the up volume key
Wait for a little while and a dead android lying on it's back should come out saying 'no command'
Press the power button and the volume up button and then, only let go of the volume up button
You can lift the power button now..
Then, unlike the first menu , we navigate using both up and down volume keys and to select, just hold the power key for 1 second
using to down volume button, go to factory reset (yes you are going to factory reset)
then press the power button..
Then wait for about 5 mins to wait for it to reset..
If that method doesn't work, then Idk how else to help..
I hope it works!!:good:
