BatteryStatus may have killed my tilt - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I was trying to install the Aurora theme on my phone. I was installing the list of programs it required, batterystatus being one of them. Once I installed batterystatus it told me to soft reset, so I did. Since then, the phone either constantly resets or freezes. I went to the batterystatus site and it said that I needed to let it reset 8 times. But I don't know what to do after it has reset 8 times. If I do anything but let it reset it freezes. I am not familiar with this software and am just hoping I didn't brick my phone.

do a hard reset; you should be fine. a installed program very rarely will brick your phone (flashing is different)

How do I hard reset without being able to get to any software?

you don't need any software to hard reset. You hard reset by holding the two soft keys and inserting the stylus into the soft reset hole on the bottom of your phone. Keep the soft keys pressed while you push in the stylus.. in a few sec you will get the grayish white hard reset screen. Hit "send" key to start the hard reset and after it has finished it will ask you to re-hit the send key to reboot your phone.

Well lets see a Kaiser is about .25lbs or 100grams if you prefer. Pop it in the microwave hit Defrost and Put in .3 lbs. (JUST KIDDING!)
If pulling the battery doesn't work try to Hard Reset. The Main Question here is, what changed from when It did start up good and now. Did you get a bad flash or is it time for a Warranty Replacement?
Nice one ...
Taking the beterry out didnt change anything, before a hard reset should i take out the sd card ?

Yup Such is the pain of Hard Resetting. Which is why we try everything else before we do that. Soft Resetting. Pull battery, Soft Reset while standing on your head. Glad to hear Hard Reset Worked.

congrats. glad everything turned out ok.
My Tilt is doing the same thing. I'm stuck on Dutty's load screen.
I think I know what I did to screw it up also.
My battery was completely dead so I plugged it in. I tried turning it on as soon as I plugged it into the charger. I don't think the battery had enough juice for a full startup yet, so it got stuck half way through. Now it won't load up for anything.
If anyone knows something I can do besides a hard reset, please let me know.
Thanks.
Oh crap, I just got a white screen that says something about me screwing up my device to press send to do a hard reset.
There goes all my recent phone numbers.
Ugh...

Diamond HTC volume problem

When I press the volumen button, the system volume start, but I Can´t increse or decrease the volume with the hard button (I can with touch screen). I supose that is a HTCVolumen service problem.
Resolve. It was the esset avirus program
When I uninstall the avirus its works fine
Just on a side note Why is there suddenly such a influx of AV programs for WM?
How many of you have actually had virus problems on your XDA's?

Did you just install S2U2 1.0x??
Jep! Indeed!
But i have the 'volume control' function off
I've got this problem too! anyone got a solution? thanks
What about setting S2U2's last option "Don't use KeyBoard Hook" to ON ?
I don't have S2U2, any idea why I might be having problems?
I got the same problem..
After uninstalling the latest S2U2 the volume keys started working again.
There must be a bug in the S2U2 code.
same problem for me. It's S2U2 the cause. But after press the volume key, you can increase and decrease volume by touch screen.

This seems to work after a softreset. I didn't have a call yet so i'm still waiting if the s2a function works the same!
Thanks anyway!
EDIT: I just received a call and at least the s2a function keeps running normally
S2U2
Just enable volumecontroll in S2U2. Then it will work. Just did and it works fine now.
I have this problem, I have completely lost the up/down volume controls with the hard buttons, instead it just acts as an up / down in menus etc!! I don't have anything like S2U2 etc installed, But I have updated to the HTC 1.93 ROM
Any advise is much appreciated
Thanks

I have done plenty of soft resets, no Hard Resets, I haven't been in a position to do a Hard Reset recently and loose all my data been too busy.
Just thought it might be something simple!! A Setting or something.
When I get chance I will perform a Hard Reset and see if that works. I assume afterwards it will automatically install manilla etc. Like on first boot.

Ok. As i remeber it, you dont loose you´re data on internal memory, on a hard-reset. Only installed programs. Correct me if i am wrong, i have only been in this windows mobile world in a few weeks. But i look forwards to hear if i solves the problem. Sorry for the bad spelling. I´m danish.

Serious help needed

I tried to uninstall the mobilematt Fuzeberry v6.0 and my phone wouldnt uninstall it. Then it in the during the uninstall, my phone messed up and wouldnt do anything. So I had to take the battery out to turn it off.
Now it wont turn on. It just freezes at the Windows Mobile 6 screen.
Any Help. Please. Soon.
I dont know what to do at all.
I think a Hard Reset would be your best option at this point...
Sorry.

Agreed. Your device WILL delete the theme but it takes an excruciatingly long time to do so. Backup, Hard Reset, Fuggetaboudit.
How can he backup if the device doesn't boot? ActiveSync won't work until WinMo booted, as far as I know...
D'oh! Sorry. Yeah, I flubbed.
Just Hard Reset and you should be fine.
Wait, wait... how long have you let it set before you determined that it is "frozen"? I recall that after the first time I tried to uninstall it took a LONG time so I just did a soft reset. When it booted back up, it hung for a little bit (some minutes) but I just let it do its thing and came back to it and it booted fine. Fuzeberry was still present so I performed a Hard Reset.
Hope this helps!
did you remember to disable tf3d when you went to uninstall fuzeberry?
i 3rd that.... hard reset is the ONLY option. If u havent backed up the device prior to this, let it be a lesson learned. sorry bout that.

Auto-Hard-Reset after flashin & Hard reset difference.What if to break the first one?

Auto-Hard-Reset after flashin & Hard reset difference.What if to break the first one?
Sorry for creating a new thread for this, but it's very important. Would be perfect if fards and itje answer here. If you guys do not know the answer, please just answer: "I don't know". Just to be sure. Thank you.
fards said:
the argument is that a rom image (that you flash) doesn't always fill the entire memory space so there's a chance that some of the arrays could contain old data as the RUU doesn't clear the space first. It doesn't hurt to hard reset whether this scenario happens or not, just hold the hardkeys down during first boot after it comes out of bootloader ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After flashing, during the first boot, there already IS something that looks like a hard reset. Something like "auto-hard-reset". Therefore allow me to ask you 3 questions please:
1. Is this "auto-hard-reset" similar to the manual hard reset(when we push simultaneously left, right and soft reset key, or via Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage)?
2. What exactly did you mean in your quote(its part that I've marked bold)? I've never heard anything about holding any keys DURING the first boot. Everywhere is written: "Make hard reset AFTER you flash." Or maybe I missed something?
3. What if NOT to wait for this "auto-hard-reset", and just manually, BEFORE it happens, make an HR(pushing simultaneously left, right and soft reset key) in time when firmware splash screen is showed? It would save the time... but is it harmless?
Thank you very much for your answers!
I would actually like to know the same thing...
(BTW, your questions are very well phrased J-pro...I couldn't have asked it better myself.)
EDIT: See the following thread topic...it should answer some questions--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490860
i've never seen an auto-hard reset so I don't know where you've got that from. Where does it come up that it's hard resetting, I've never seen anything that it does this automatically?
As discussed in the thread you quoted me from.
Some people believe a hard reset will clear anything left over from a flash that didn't get overwritten in the flashing process.. think about it, if you flash 113mb of new rom into a 256 mb rom space then there's some chance that data will be left behind.
There's enough people who find that hard resetting solves problems, so it does seem to do some good.
All I said that you've quoted me,(why not keep this in that thread, we need to reduce clutter not create more)? EDIT ah I see you did, sorry... A pm asking me to look at the thread would have sufficed
is that after you've finished flashing, if you want to hard reset, then do it then, it doesn't take any extra effort especially if you use the microSD flashing method, where you have to manually reset the device anyway!
"Make hard reset AFTER you flash." is EXACTLY what I've written, make the hard reset after you've flashed, and before it goes through the first (very long) boot up.. Saves repeating that long 1st boot again, it doesn't really matter when you do it, it's just this way saves some time..

To see it, just wait till the first(after flash) boot ends. You'll see that through this first boot same processes are executed, just as if we do manual hard reset. That's why I named it "automatical-hard-reset". It always happens through the first boot, after flashing.

Here is the point. I DO use microSD flash method. And I DO have to manually SOFT reset my phone. BUT while it reboots, my SOFT reset "automatically" turns into a HARD one, JUST because it's the FIRST boot after flashing. I've got such assumption because I saw(on the screen) that same customizing process happens, etc.

I would ask you, how can I make an HR(HardReset) if I have to make SR(SoftReset) first? BUT this your quote from another thread partially answers the question:
fards said:
HOLD both silver hardware keys down during a reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everywhere is written that a hard reset is: Hold SIMULTANEOUSLY SR-button and both of soft-keys. I've never read about HR as: "Make an SR and hold two soft-keys during booting". It's obviously very different definitions.
So now I can answer: YES, we can make an HR during the first boot after flashing, i.e. we CAN interrupt this first boot(i.e. auto-hard-reset).
But the second part is still not clear for me: is this "first long boot" the same as an HR? Just look at what it does(on the screen) and you'll understand that it's very similar(if not the same). But I just want to have things clear.
Thank you very much!

no. It's the same long boot as standard windows when you log on first time... only "finalizing" installation
guap said:

I see. And this "finalizing" happens also after every HR, right? Just to get things clear: "finalizing" is not a part of HR, HR happens BEFORE it. But "finalizing" happens everytime through boot IF there is no preinstalled files found(which are deleted by HR, OR just absent after flashing). Am I right?
rather than "finalizing" think "Initialising" as the system is going through all the initflashes.dat files and provxmls that it does as a first run, as the flags are set in the system that it needs setting up.
but to answer, yes, not so much that there's no preinstalled files found, but that the registry is set as stock that it's the initial boot I think.
Theres no evidence that suggests it's clearing storage area during the initial boot.
if you think about it, if it was "hard resetting" during that process, then after a manually induced hard reset, (either by clear storage or teh two hardkeys) it would go through the process of hard resetting all over again..
Which sounds a bit counter productive..
But you'd need to remotely connect to the device and watch the process to be certain I think. Either way it doesn't hurt to hard-reset after flashing

Not "over and over", just once again. Then after successful "Initialization" it "sets all flags" to "initialized ROM" and boots normally next time.
fards said:

Because of misunderstanding of how to make an HR, I didn't know that HR can be done BEFORE(or better to say DURING/AT START) this "first long boot", therefore I always waited till it ends, setting all the parameters, calibrating the screen, etc. and only after that I was making a manual HR. After this manual HR I saw the same things on the screen, did same actions(setting up, calibrating), etc. That was truly counter productive. That's why I asked. Moreover, I think that there are a lot more(than me alone) people, who make HR only AFTER first "long boot" is finished I hope they will see this thread...
But now it's all clear. Thank you for your answers, fards and guap, it really helped!
ADDED: P.S.: You know, guys, after thinking a little, I've got that we can make an HR even when phone is turned off and without using SR-button. If the phone is off, hold down two soft-keys and power the phone on. Nice. That completely proves everything said above.
HRing after Flashing
I always use Micro-SD method when i flash and when it says update success instead of taking out the battery and turning it on, i simply hard reset it from that screen. so i hold the left and right softkeys and then push the soft reset button (this is the only way i can HR, holding L&R softkeys while holding the power button doesn't work for me i have to press the soft reset key as well). this means i don't have to go through the initial long boot screen twice and its a little quicker than taking out the battery and then HRing.
Hope this helps

yes sometimes I do this.. occassionally if the screen isn't responding on boot (after tweaking and pushing things far too much) & I can still turn off the x1 with the powerbutton and then OK key, then power back on and hardreset..
if you can do it (ie the device is still responding, but not the screen) then it's easier than pulling the back cover off.. Damn this stupid idea of hiding the reset button!

yep thats the way to do it (although you can press the soft reset and then press the two front buttons, as long as you're quick enough).

phone randomly does reset back to factory settings

need help... HTC HD7 radomly resets itself. This is a hard reset as I lose all settings and accounts. Any suggestions ?
Added to post: I also now noticed that after I have manually done the hard reset myself and started to set up my phone again with personal settings and contacts, it prompts me with a message at top of screen. It reads:
"To ensure you have the best experience we periodically need to reset your phone."
Of course I hit the cancel button. I also now notice that if I don't hit the cancel button right away, the phone will reset itself and I lose all settings and contact (hard reset).
After hours of burning up time and searching.... I found the instructions in XDA (search for DEMO version). The RUU I found works like a charm !! All issues seem to be fixed.
