Hi all.
I'm a bit concerned. All of a sudden the ability of my phone to fix itself by hard reset (L+R buttons > Power on) is gone. This is quite bad.
I can still perform a hard reset via the control panel (erase all data).
Anyone know what's wrong? After the last hard reset the phone wasn't like how it was to begin with at all - or how it was after any of the other hard resets. All of the SE customisation had gone, and only the first 4 panels were available.
How come hard reset isn't a dead cert, and why in the world has the hardware shortcut gone?
Thanks
Mine refused to do a hard reset using the power button + silver buttons, it kept complaining that there was "no image file".
For some reason, using the soft reset button instead of the power button seemed to work on mine, after using the soft reset button behind the battery cover with the two silver buttons it did a proper hard reset and it worked with no problems.
i did 2 hard resets on mine now and i had weird behavior too.
On the first hard reset i couldnt hard reset by pressing the two silver buttons and the power button, just nothing happened. I then tried to press the silver buttons and inserted the stylus into the hole on the back which worked.
As i did a hard reset for the second time method 2 didnt work anymore, therefor method 1 suddenly worked...very weird
mine, couldnt hard reset it by preseing L & R and then soft reset...
i did it by clearing storage in setting!
It happen to me too...I solved it this way
Assign the default to each button left and right and then try it again..
PD: to hard reset trhee botton togheter and then relaese first the power button and wait until screen turn white....
Sorry for bad english
i need help!
mine did the reset ok, but when connected to sony ericsson's ipdate service keeps flashing 'no image file' and the update service says device not recognised. any ideas how i can fix it?
I have a slightly different problem. x1 to cleanse his memory, I was enabled very strange program that was the code'1234 'and when I did it my X1 phone simply shuts down. When I start up back, I appeared on a white screen with a blue stripe on top, and in the middle of the screen wee dagger. I've tried all the ways to retrieve the telephone to life but nothing is party, and the Internet also can not find anything. Please help.
@ thomsonss1: try a hard reset. That should work. Report back if it doesn't and we'll think of something else
Noooo it's not working.... I even can't to put a pin code or mobile code....
it suck......
I am also having the "No Image File!" issue. Has anyone fixed their phone or am I SOL?

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.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered before... a quick search turned up nothing useful - but then I only got this device about a week ago and don't really know what to look for.
I pressed the Soft Reset button with the USB cable attached and the phone seems to have gone into some weird mode and now nothing I do will make it boot.
I'm stuck on a screen with 4 sections, Red, Green, Blue, and White.
The text
KAIS130
SSPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
is displayed on the red section, and the letters USB on the white.
I have tried soft reset (always comes back to same screen), hard rest (does nothing), taking the battery out and putting it back. All with and without the cable attached.
Is there anything I can to do restore my device or do I need to return it?
Many thanks for any help.
You may in Bootloader mode. You may have to force a hard reset. I think if you hold the camera button and power button while turning on it should bring it up, but I am not sure on the Kaiser. I am sure someone will post up the exact procedure. I hope everything turns out OK for you.

Thanks for the reply... I got the impression that might be the case from a google hit as well. Grrr. I was just trying to cure a 'not syncing' issue.
Alas I can't find anything to make a Hard Reset do anything - I've tried every combo of buttons I can think of, including the one in the manual and the one you just suggested... no dice
Oh well, I guess I have a very expensive paper weight
Press and hold the two action buttons (the - in between red and green buttons) and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
press and hold the two soft key buttons and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
after releasing the reset button hit send ( the green key ) it should show on the screen if you have done it correctly to push the send button to complete the hard reset, if not repeat the process again
if that doesnt work you can always reflash the rom using the original Kaiser rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
its here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331900&highlight=official+kaiser+rom
since its already in the bootloader mode it will be able to be flashed if it wont hard reset
Hmm, nope the Soft+Soft+Reset doesn't do anything other than the normal reset
I think before I try the ROM flash I'd better contact HTC and make sure I'm not voiding my warranty.
It's a shame I'm going to loose the days work
thanks for the help folks.
Hey, Just recently I tried to change my windows mobile theme, just the color of the title bars. I do have the kaiser tweak and HTC 5 button homepage thingy. The title bars didn't change right away so I turned the device off and on. Yet when i turned it back on, it freezes on the ATT startup page and displays the three different numbers on the bottom corner, i think they're some kind of IP or radio. Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with my phone? I'ved tried taking the sim card and battery out for awhile and attempted to do a hard reset with the two soft keys and reset button, but nothing happens when I hold the buttons. Any help would be great, I need to use my phone!

I'm really surprised that a hard-reset did not restore you to OEM settings...
WHEN you get restored to where you want it... Try: http://rapidshare.com/files/68506785/UI_TWEAK.ZIP
It works awesomely!
It even catalogs all .tsk files and U can export as well.
Best of luck!

just an FYI:
HTC Kaiser - TyTn II - T-Mobile Vario III
A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.

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.

Just to be clear, the soft keys are those two above the keyboard when the device is slid open....? right? Also should the device be powered on when I do this? How long to I have to hold down the buttons? Thanks for all the help!
Thanks I was able to do the hard reset, I didnt know the correct soft keys.

I upload to you this guide for hard and soft reset in pdf file:

If your reset button is dead, you can try to do it like a smartphone.
Battery out
battery in
hold volume down and centre button
press power button for half a second and release it.
keep the rest pressed.
it should go to the hard reset procedure as if you'd used the soft reset button.
Have to say the hard reset for this phone is akward and cumbersome to say the least.

why? don't you have three hands?
something i learned from experience: try and hard reset without the back cover.
much easier to get to the "G spot" (that's how i call it)
to soft/hard reset i am using now software. somewhere in the forum there is a cab with a little app that gives you all the options: soft, hard reset, screen off and pda off.
i found it more and more already included in the new ROMs. so much more easier....
you can see it in swiftbl ROM thread:
im new to this so please be simple if you can help. i love my phone and i am really mad i cant get to anything. i would try to hard reset but i cant get to the start menu or anything. ive soft reset on multiple occasions but it does nothing
You don't have to be able to get to the menus to perform a hard reset.
Simply push both soft keys (keys above the 'E' and the mail icon on your pad) while performing a soft reset. You will then be prompted to push the 'Send' key and everything will be restored.
Welcome to XDA
Yeah, you can hard reset using the physical keys. However, the above method has never worked for my ATT Tilt. The method described in the wiki has never worked either. The method I use which works for me, is:
Press the two "-" softkeys on the front of the device while it is off
Then, while still holding the sofkeys on the front, press the stylus into the reset hole on the bottom for at least 3 seconds
While Still holding the two softkeys on the front, press the power button briefly then release it
You may release the softkeys once you see the warning message
Good luck,
Dave
