If something happens to your rom where you can't boot up completely and you're on the factory ROM...do this:
To perform a hard reset
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 middle left side of your device.
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 manufacturer default.
Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.”
3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the button on your device. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings.
This was provided to me from a reliable source.
I don't have a Wing so I can't answer questions on this.
This came my way beacause my cousin overclocked his Wing too much and it would not boot.
The T-Mo ROM is not available for download to re-install it.
Because of where he works, he was able to come across this info.
I just shared it with you.
Thx for the info, but the manual states this as well

Don't own or have the device, just shared what was told to me as a fix for my cousin.
Thanks - but i worte in another thread that i really hope for one thing:
Pleas - to all noobs - don´t flash ROMs or change poolsize - when you don´t know how to make a hardreset or to start your device in bootloader.
Please read, read, read - and then beginn playing when you know what you are doing.
Thanks

Hi all,
i have Flashed my XDAIIs from WM2003SE to the new himalaya rom version,
everything works fine ,but the only problem is i cannot hard reset , it
i have a problem with my buttons (Home,email, explorer, ok), they cannot be used since i purchased it, so in this case i cannot hard reset my device, as i have to press mail button to confirm the hard reset setting,
Please any one have any alternate solution of hard reset or to format the persistent memory let me know
Try a program like spb pocket plus. It can put a button on your today screen to do a hard-reset & soft-reset as well, in the system section .
It's available on trial, so go for it.
Cheers, M
hi again , i downloaded the sbp plus and installed the program,i can find the button for soft reset , but here is no button available for hard reset , could u please guide me
The hard-reset button must be added manually, no idea why ;-)
So go to: start -> settings -> today -> items
select 'sbp plus' and push the 'options...' buttons. Now you can add it to the today bar.
Succes, M
hi thanks for your co -operation , i tried to follow the procedure as you told , once after selecting the today--items--Pocket Plus--options , here comes a new screen titled "today Plug-in" i click on Add button, and a new "untitled" button is created on left hand side, than i click on items on the same screen ,i get list of category "indicator, programs, my documents,system,settings,custom" i tried to find the reset utlity all over the categories but i cannot ,
your comments are appreciated ,i have installed spb plus version 3.04 buid 4195
I have to install it first so give me a few hours for exact details
Hi Kevin,
I'm terribly sorry that I wasted your time; I must have been mistaken fot I can't find it back myself. I looked spb pocket plus, battery pack pro & some other tools but can't find it back for you.
Probably you need the e-mail button as well to put it into bootloader? Or is BA lacking such a mode? cause my magician is havin a hard-reset when coming out of bootloader.
Hope it helps.
Sorry, M
oh please. If you're in WM5, you can't hard reset just like this.
Put it into the mode which you can format storage....
do a search in the future.

There is a bug in WM6...when the main battery is drained or removed you cannot use your password. In this case there is no other option...you have to make Hard Reset!
thx for ur reply.i reset the PPC On/Off button + Reset button.but problem is still it requests passward.How to make Hard Reset and further help.plz reply
If this is true I'm sure you do not perform Hard Reset correctly. If this is new ROM you should go to Boot Loader first.
Tip:How to:
1.Perform Soft Reset
2.Push Record and Camera button at the same time and hold them until the Boot Loader screen shows up.
P.S. You should do step 2. before the Radio version/ROM version appear in the right bottom of the screen.
3.“Enable KITL” must be NO, “Clean Registry Hive” must be YES, “Format Storage” must be YES
P.S. Use the Record and Camera buttons for navigation.
4.Press Mail button.(Do not touch anything until the white screen disappears)
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OT THE PASSWORD(WITHOUT DELETING YOUR FILES) YOU SHOULD PERFORM NO/YES/NO PROCEDURE!
That's it! Good Luck!
thx.soft reset done.thx alot for ur suggestion.PPC working properly.if there is any other Bugs n other issues that r ristricted in this version plz send me detail.if u dnt mind.once again thx
my camera and recorder button works before booting and after that it does not move the option in the boot menu...............will some one please help me
i had got imate pda2k could u please tell the place form were i get steps to inatall wm6
welcome to the forum!
short question - short answer:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
step by step instructions, don't skip anything, if there is something you don't understand, come back to this post and ask for it.
I bought a VPA Compact V a couple months ago to replace my Orange M700 and LOVE it.
Unfortunately Last Night I was playing with password features, and created a password by mistake. I've tried to remember what I typed in and was told it was not valid and asked for my password again! There is an option to reset your password but it is grayed out!
So I called up Vodaphone and they walked me through a hard reset (which I could not do for some reason, instead of getting the white screen, I always get the standard vodaphone one)
After a few attempts they told be I'd just have to return it to and be without phone for up to three weeks which is outreagous! I have had NO issues before this time and really need my kaiser for work. I know I am risking a public scalding and accusations of being a thief but I can assure you I am legit (I've got the bills to prove it!), but given my low post count I can see why you may have your doubts.
I don't really want to do a hard reset if I don't have to, but I think that it is my only choice. My old M2000 (blue angel) looses data if the battery is not in, can I do a similar thing with the kasier?
Thanks in advance,
WWWeed.........
does anyone know if WM6 prevents you from hard-resetting while the device is requesting a password?
Did you follow the steps in the wiki to do a hard reset with just the hard keys on the phone?
You should be able to use the "Clear Storage" icon in the settings without having to know the password if I remember well. That triggers a Hard reset too. But I'd just go with the hard key method too, only takes a couple of seconds...
The Kaiser will not lose any of its memory if you remove the battery.
At this point, you have 2 options. The first is to perform a hard reset; the process is documented in the Kaiser Wiki. Your second option is to download the OEM ROM that your phone shipped with, enter bootloader manually (also in the Wiki) and reflash the device. Either way, you will lose any data not on an SD card.

Yes I did, but instead of getting the white screen asking me if I want to clear the storage, I get the standard vodaphone splash screen

I have a problem with this, I cant find the rom installed on this device. I have tryed 3.08.161.0 (Radio 1.64.08.21) UK Vodafone that can found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
however the device starts to flash, gets to 1% and gives me an error (error 294: invalid vendor id)
Does WM6 prevent you from performing a hard reset while asking for a password?
Can I install any of the spl's on this site (so I can flash another rom) with just the bootloader? or is there any way of installing roms without using active sync?
Thanks again guys for your help! I assure you it is much appreciated!
I found a rom that works! Unfornatly I dont know much about it. The name of it is v1615_3.28.161.1.zip
I've uploaded it to rapidshare Here
It is an offical untouched rom from vodaphone directly.

You might not be holding the 2 keys long enough. You need to hold them for several seconds after you pressed the reset button.

It can't, the button method does the job before WM6 would get loaded.
But I guess if you've been able to flash you shouldn't need the advice anyway. Still, you should do a hard reset after flashing to be sure all previous and/or incionsistent settings are cleared.
Hold the two soft keys then poke the soft reset button with the stylus while holding the soft keys - hold them until you see a new screen, make sure they are fully pressed. then a while screen will come up and you press the "send" key to go through with the hard reset (reset to factory settings).
Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
Please, please give me some help.
me too
Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839
and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. load the bootloader
3. plug the phone to the computer
4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe
now it's back to WM6.1
So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?

I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.
Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.
so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.
this is what i did:
1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version
2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084
this ROM is awesome!
Hope that works for you too.
You Bricked your Diamond
My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.
Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device

Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
www.everythingdiamond.info/ this site has cdma versions theyre pretty good
Yeah I actually got my latest rom from there, thanks for all the help everyone you were a god send
check everythingdiamond.info or ppcgeeks.com . Both of those sites have stickies dealing with this and all the roms you'll find there are for cdma phones.
I've just recently gotten into different ROM's for my Sprint Touch Diamond. I am currently running Mighty ROM6. Now it flashes fine but after about a day of use I notice the phone starts acting up. Programs disappear, Opera browser stops working and I have to reflash. Is this a common flaw with the Mighty ROM6 or is it something I am doing wrong? I just don't understand how it works fine and after a day or two of use I have to reflash it. Any and all input would be great...

I'm not sure about Mighty ROM6, but issues can occur when you don't clear the device from the previously cooked rom.
2 Choices to clear device:
• flash a stock rom first before flashing
• use mtty (link found in my signature)
Regardless of choice, after flashing the selected cooked rom of choice, don't forget to hard reset your device.
Doing this takes out the variable of it being your devices fault and thus puts back the onus to the rom.
Good Luck!

Well that leaves me with two questions....where can I find a stock rom and how exactly do you hard reset a touch diamond? I've tried the volume down + enter and then the reset button but it doesn't seem to work...any other tricks? What exaclty is MTTY? another rom?

Looking for you re: stock roms
as far as mtty is concern, it's a tool that clears your device. Not too newbie friendly though.
HARD RESET DEVICE:
Right after you soft reset reset (red button) simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format)

Look at the 2nd post, of edited my response there.
By the way, another trick is to flash a radio or a rom via Internal Memory Method found below:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
p.s. still looking for the pesty stock rom thread....
Found the thread for stock roms...<<HERE YOU GO>>
