AEB button plus bricked my device. It will start but when the green screen appears it will not continue. Activesync will not connect and I cannot hard reset. Please help!
You should be able to hard reset as you dont need to be in the OS to do this. Try following the hard reset procedure whilst your phone is booting up.
PROCEDURE EXTRACTED FROM WIKI:
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
Hope this helps
I have ae button plus on my tilt. How in the world did it brick your tilt?
You installed it to your storage card didn't you? tsk, tsk, tsk...
It will work in storage card only if you change it's start up number in the reg. Otherwise it's stuck trying to load a program from a place it can't see yet. Because the startup directory tells it to boot before your SD card loads. It's not bricked though. You can hard reset you just have to know how.
Firstly do a soft reset. Immediately after the reset depress both softkeys. As soon as the green screen comes up depress the reset button again while still holding the soft keys. Then follow the directions on the screen! Voila!
Thanks guys, I did not install to my card. During installation it read some type of "language" error. Eventually I did get it to hard reset. I hooked it up to my comp and then tried a hard reset, after about 10 tries it worked. Thank you for your help...

Can anyone advise how I can reset my device to the original state it came in the box. My previous device you had press 2 buttons on the keypad and the reset button. Anyone help with the Kaiser?
Thanks,
Sunny.
Settings -> Sytem -> Clear Storage
Make sure you have backed up your data.
gogol I am your new best friend.....many thanks!
Hold in two soft keys and then reset with stylus thats a true hard reset. Much more info posted in the first sticky in Kaiser Upgrading Thread
"true" hard reset? I think it is the same thing with that "Clear Storage".
Just read the manual and I did once.
Hi sunny
I hope this will help you:
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus
Thanks Chris and others. Very useful!!!
Hi
My device has gone really wrong all of sudden. Keeps locking up, weird application corruption etc. I have taken out the battery a number of times. The phone boots up and seems to be ok, but if I slide out the keyboard nothing happens on screen. If I try and make a call the touch screen will not work to dial a number. Weird screen corruption. I thought this device was too good to be true.
I want to do a hard reset. HOwever not sure what the buttons are.
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
What is the "hold talk" and end soft key?
This will clear up any confussion i hope:
-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus(thanks pof)
-HardReset: Hold Both soft keys in while pushing in Reset button :When prompted push Green Talk Button to clear data.
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 press the power button and camera button while pressing the soft reset button. all I get is a 3 color bar screen that says serial. That's it...
Then I tried to use the clear storage app. I typed in 1234 and clicked yes. nothing happens.
I have htcs home / customier too. and ever since the install I can't fully turn off my phone using the power button.
help please. I just wanted the phone back to default. Not bloatware free.
wrong key combination dude, hard reset is the two soft keys, and then the soft reset button
Push and hold the two soft-keys, then HOLD soft reset until screen changes. It may take a couple attempts...
You're not kidding!!
I tried, same result.. tried again, and again... after about 12 tries it finally worked. Man what a PITA!!
Just persevere!
Luck
Hi guys!

I think you are not doing the hard reset properly, since you are stating that the buttons work while you are in windows. Retry and see what happens.
Yeah does sound like you need a hard reset and aren't doing it properly. 2 ways to do it listed below:
-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.
-A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.
Sorry for the silence guys...
I'm doing the Hard Reset OK, but the phone simply doesnt do it...
Also the Power button doesnt work when installing a new ROM with SD Card...
My phone is in a continuous soft reset :s
