No answer pressing the buttons...need help! - HTC Wings

Hi guyz,
big problem with my Wings...
I've tried to install SPB Traveller, discovering that doesn't work (was the version for pda).
Then i've disinstalled it and, immediately after, i have no more possibility to press buttons. Only once.
To be more precise...
Switch off the phone removing battery, switch it on again, enetr the pin correctly and, after WM6 screenshot, i'm able to press buttons only once. Not depending from the button...i can pres Start or Contacts, doesn't matter.
After pressing once there's no evidence to have any other button depressed.
I would like to hard reset the phone but, hao can i do if i cannot press any button??
Which is right procedure for hard reset the S730??
There is some shortcut in way not to enter into WM6??
Thanks a lot.

With the phone off, press both softkeys (the ones right under the screen) and then press the power button to turn it on. After a second or so (basically when it starts booting up) release only the power button, but keep the other two pressed.
After a moment you should see a screen asking you if you want to hard reset (you may release the buttons now), press the Send buttont (the green one) and it'll do it.

Soft keys should be "Start" and "Contacts"...i suppose.
I tried many times, releasing Power button keeping softkeys still pressed, immediately after Smart Mobility screenshot....after displaying of radio version, rom version, etc etc.....but it doesn't work.
I think i'm wrong in some passage. Sure that this process works on S730??
Could you be more clear about it, please?
Which boot i have to take care of? Initial settings (radio, rom, etc etc) or Windows Mobile?
Many thanks.

Yep, those are the buttons. And this procedure does work on the S730, as I had to use it once to restore my phone.
The only advise that comes to my mind is to keep the power button pressed a little bit longer than usual, I believe that's what I did.

How can I hard reset HTC Mteor via combination of buttons?

HTC Mteor hangs at a screen with inscription "Windows mobile" and doesn't boot. So I can't use utility for hard reset.
You can try pressing the 2 soft-keys at the same time as you press (and hold) the power key. That will bring you to a screen asking if you want to restore or quit.
I hope it works for you!
I'd guess you would have to try reflashing the rom.
It helped me without reflashing. Does this combination of buttons work at HTC S310? I've the same problem with this device as I had with my Mteor. I've installed software there which was not designed for these smartphones.
Is that the same 2 keys to get to the bootloader?
No, electronic punk.
For the bootloader, you press the camera button and the power button at the same time.
I am saying press the left + right softkeys (the ones just under the screen, with the joystick in the middle) and the power button at the same time.

its works thanks !
you have to
- switch off device
- push L+R softkeys and keep pushed while next step
- then turn on (short push power is ok - like you are used to do it), keep L+R pushed
It works for every device I had so far (see signature) that has keys.
Mind that Hardreset deletes all data on the device!

Hard Reseting Htc Diamond Cdma

can somebody PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO HARD RESET THIS THING!??!? i read themanual .. and along with 40 billion forum posts...
VOLUME DOWN and CENTER BUTTON pressed then pressing the reset pin and still holding the volume down and center button DOES NOT WORK.... regardless whether the phone is OFF or on
help
I had the same problem when i tried it the first time!
Try to Soft reset the device and go to the RGB info screen (where you can see the Boot loader version ect.) then hold the center button and volume down and reset the device again. Then it should work!
btw make sure to press the buttons long enough, you need to press it for at least 10 seconds until it has loaded everything for the HR
Actually what needs to be, this is after trying for almost half hour - down volume, center key and Power (not reset). But has Xui said you need to hold it until you get the screen advising you are about to Hard Reset the device.
BTW Mods, can someone update the Diamond Wiki with this info, I da** near broke by buttons thinkink I was not pressing hard enough. When in actuality I should have press the power and not the SoftReset.
This is what I did:
My touch screen doesn't work.
So I have to hard reset the thing.
Hold the power button to turn off the phone completely
Then hold vol down, center key, power button, around 5-6 seconds,
then you see the boot screen.
Thanks guys, you are super and helpful for sure.

diamond doesn't hard reset, please help

hi all, my first ever post in this forum. first of all many thanks for being here.
I was reading too many threads about the diamond. mainly about hard reset problems and new roms. my problem is that I couldn't perform hard reset. searched over the forum, tried what others did, just no result, what I am getting is only soft reset.
the method is:
use reset button while holding volume down & enter buttons , release the reset and keep holding others until the information window appears on the screen... somebody says power button also needed to be hold. somebody suggest holding the enter button very carrefully as it is very easy to activate direction buttons. somebody says rom is need to be updated as existing rom can be corrupted.
I tried all of above, I did update the rom several times and checked if hard reset is working, no result.
my tricolor screen says :
DIAM100 MGF 64M
SPL-1.24.Hard
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
I've 1.37.405.1 and radio rom 1.00.25.03 now, I know they are older versions but I tried 1.96. series too but did not throw in another hspl.
is it worth to try flashing with newer hard-spl such as 1.93 and compatible roms. any suggestion is very appreciated. I just wory about it coz read in many threads it is good to perform a hard reset after a new rom.
ps:assuming if it is cannot be changed, any software to perform hard reset? sow somewhere video of it, any help?
thanks for reading
Read this.

thanks for post but link doesn't work. I assume there is just explaination of normal hard reset method which I tried several times already.
Hi
cant open the above link to confirm if the same as what method i use, press and hold volume down and enter and the reset and release all upon tri colour
i must remove the SIM to get a hardreset.
with inseted SIM the procedure not works on my device (why ever? no idea!)
Just to further clarify:
If you have the CDMA version (like I), you must hold down power button + volume down + enter button at same time. Press the reset button with your third hand and continue holding the buttons until a screen prompts you for a reset. Volume up button will confirm the hard reset.
That's what I had to do and I would love to meet the engineer behind that crazy combination... I had to prop the stylus in a 3 ring binder while holding the three buttons so i could jab the back of the phone into the stylus while my other two hands were preoccupied with this stupid combo.
Arg. Hope this helps

this is not the hard reset. I got the tricolor screen by holding volume down + reset button. for hard reset there must be a window asking your approval if you are confirming hard reset, than pressing volume up is performing it.
while holding volume down + enter and resetting is resulting soft reset only. I tried many times as if I am mistakenly pressing other buttons but not... any help?
edit:with sim or without it didn't make any difference. however, I tried the last method whitesoxxx suggest but didn't hold the reset as I hold the others, will give result in a minute. by the way my device is from orange, is it CDMA (sorry if it sound soo stupid
result:nope, didn't make many difference, still soft reset. one more question: this reset confirmation window, how many second later it suppose to appear?
thanks
my last post might point you in right direction...

It is an incredibly stupid combo! I had to search xda-developers to figure it out the first time because i just didn't believe the user manual!
For me, it works easiest with the diamond face down on the edge of a desk and supported against a heavy object (shelving unit) so that the Vol Down & Enter combo can be done one handed. I then have a hand free to press reset, which is easy with the back cover off!
beleive me i have no any complain about how difficult to reach ald hold all those buttons at same time, I am quite use to it
I sent back the diamond today as hard reset problem was really annoying. I tought mine was defected somehow. will buy another, if next one does the same should I send it back again? is it really necessary to do hard reset after updating rom?
thanks
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER button, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see a message on the screen.4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.

***I tried it,but the problem with YouTube didn't stop.
Very easy way to Hard reset the phone is by going to phone settings and select "Clear Storage" and enter 1234 click ok. (This is erase all the data and installed programs and will get the factory settings)

Diamond not going to boot loader

Hi,
Diamond is not going to bootloader (tricolour) screen after MTTY. MTTY was successful but nothing happening after pressing volumedown+center button.
Now device is just showing - Touch diamond when i switch on.
I have diamimg.nbu on internal storage, is there any way to trigger install.
It was working fine before mtty.
Pull battery out to turn it off.
Put it back in.
Press and hold volume down
Press reset button.
The reason its only showing Touch Diamond is that the MTTY process has cleared off your previous OS. You need to get it back to bootloader and try MTTY again.
I have tried all those stuff but no luck, for every thing diamond just vibrates and shows "Touch Diamond".
I guess boot loader is not working, is there any way to connect to it and repair bootloader.
I have tried snoopy from some post but thats also of now help.
Taken from PPCGeeks:
"Hold down the Volume down key and power button, the take the tip of your stylus and press the soft reset button (bottom left corner of phone under battery cover). After you press reset button keep the Volume down and power button press until the bootloader screen comes up"
Let us know if this works.
Thanks Super....
This is not working, only option i see is some way to connect to it through USB because i had faced this problem earlier also but that time RRU updater used to push it to bootloader.
volume down button used to work only with original HTC ROM for me....only a few time it used to work with cooked ROMs....
Hi,
Anyone can suggest some advance tool which can connect to diamond if its not going to bootloader through normal methods.
Its all clear by MTTY, i have ROM image on internal storage.
Solved finally.......
Hold only volume button pressed, press reset button and immediately after that press ok or back button

[TUT] Installing new custom ROM using phone

In this guide i am going to explain you how to install a custom ROM using phone.
You need PC just to copy ROM on memory card, nothing more, nothing less.
First thing you need to do, is to check do you have Hard-SPL installed on your XPeria X1, follow next two steps to check that.
1. Turn off you phone.
2. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
If in top left corner of the screen shows
"SPL-0.72.OliNex" (or what version you have)
That's important, if that is not shown, DO NOT CONTINUE!
POWER button will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on.
Install ROM :
1. Power on phone
2. Connect your XPeria X1 to PC in Disk Drive mode.
3. Transfer the custom ROM you want to install on ROOT of memory card and make sure that it's named "kovsimg.nbh" (Sometimes when you download custom ROM, there will be several files in that ZIP/RAR you downloaded, but you only need ".nbh" file, and if that ".nbh" file is named "ruu_signed.nbh" rename it to "kovsimg.nbh")
4. Disconnect phone from USB, and shutdown phone.
5. Hold volume down button and PRESS AND HOLD POWER BUTTON, hold these two buttons pressed until three-colored screen shows up.
6. Three-colored screen will stays for one or two second, and then there will be a message on screen
"KOVSIMG.nbh - "
"OS - "
"Press the power button to start the update image"
"Press Action button to cancel update image"
PRESS POWER BUTTON, and installation begins.
7. When it reaches 100% it will say "UPDATE SUCCESSFULL". Again, POWER BUTTON will not work, so remove cover and battery, and put it back on, but don't power on phone.
8. (IMPORTANT) I strongly reccomend to HARD RESET PHONE BUT BEFORE YOU EVER BOOT IT!
9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)
10. It's shown "This operation will delete all your personal data and reset all the settings to the manufacturer default settings, press "R" to restore manufacturer defaults or press "X" to cancel." Slide keyboard and press "R" wait for a few seconds, and it will show "Restore completed press Space to restart" so press space and slide in keyboard.
You have successfully installed your first custom ROM, now align screen and set date & time, and that's it. First time, it will take three to four minutes to boot, that's called "Cold Boot"
another great thread
"9. Hard Reset - (Phone is off) Press two buttons below screen (left and right) and hold it, and press the power button UNTIL VIBRATE, then release the power button, BUT STILL HOLD TWO BUTTONS BELLOW THE SCREEN (IMPORTANT)"

Thank you again yeaah, i messed up the first time also, becase it wasn't explaint very well
I have to say I liked the "Task 29" thread better. A lot of information here is redundant. In principle both threads describe the same process (SD card flashing).
Only this one is Task 29 short (which suposedly is important in flashing).
I expected this thread to describe the USB flashing method, which is in fact different. But it's more-or-less the same really... with more detailed naming descriptions... but minus Task 29.
The other thread has the potential to be a complete guide to SD flashing. Only steps missing is Hard-SPL - if it hasn't been done already. This one - less so.

Okay, there is maybe redundant information, but i wanted to people know what exactly will phone show, and exactly what to do! Little more information won't harm, but a half-explained instruction may lead to some errors...
problems after installing custom rom on htc dsire
Hi there Description: I’m even scared to write… Description:
Newbie Noobie here. Greetings!
Got myself a birthday present a few days ago – HTC Desire.
If it helps, here are the details:
======
Firmware version: 2.2
i rooted my phone and then followed the steps to install custom rom
Anyway, here’s my problem (there were posts about it before as well).
Once I reach point 5 in Step 2 [i.e. Turn off your phone & turn it back on holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.] after I click ‘Recovery’ my screen either stays white with the green HTC logo or just goes black – in either case, that’s it… nothing happens and no buttons work.
The first time it happened I almost got a heart attack (well, which noobie didn’t?) because I thought I’d just bricked my baby… Right now it is still the only way for me to do ANYthing after getting the black screen…
Any suggestions/help will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance!!!
(And sorry for the long post… I always need long intros and all the details listed to make myself as clear as possible)
Please do help me
i am nearly crying while typing it
email me the response
cheers

I have never used HTC Desire, i am XPeria X1 user... but my guess is that you do not need to go to recovery mode, i meen on my XPeria i just enter bootloader mode (Volume down + power) and ROM load itself... This tutorial is about XPeria, so... maybe you should post your problem to HTC Desire thread... Good luck... let us know what was the problem
