I must be dense...soft reset help?

I've looked for information on how to soft reset or shut down the Tilt without having to hold down the side power hard button down for 3 sec...is there a way to put a reset button or shutdown button on the screen? Plus, I don't really see the need for the prompt when trying to shutdown the device that lets me know there could be data loss or whatever...any way to avoid that?

Hi dgold,
The easiest way to soft reset without holding the power button is to press the stylus into the little hole on the right side of your USB port.
Also, for a software version, there is an app called psshutxp:

Not sure about how to remove the shutdown prompt

Am I right in saying by "shutting down the device" you don't want to take any calls? If that is the case I cannot remember any application for doing it. If you still want to recieve calls, what you need to do is just give the button a quick push instead of ressing and holding it for 3 seconds
If the latter is what you want to do with software, you can search this forum for PsShutXP, WKtask, etc.

Hard Reset Kaiser/AT&T Tile?

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..

Keyboard not working

I have a problem with my Kaiser. The keyboard and the front buttons do not work anymore. Only the center front button and the right side stand-by button are working.
I read here on the forums that it can be a software problem? I didn't made any rom update or other chages, I used the phone as it was from the start. After 2 months of using I got this problem with the keyboard. Any advice or should I get the phone to the Service?
I tried soft reset and after that a hard reset (I backed up the data with Sprite), but the problem persists.
Another thing: not making any changes in keys mapping I noticed that the right side stand-by button was mapped for voice recording! That was quite strange, when I activated the screen in the same time it began recording voice. I correctly remaped the button as it was, but again I don't know how it changed by itself...

when you did the hard reset, did you restore your backup right away? or did you test the buttons right after the hard reset?

I've testet the buttons before making the restore. They had the same problem: not working and the stanby button was also mapped as voice recording.

after a hard reset the power button was set to voice recording? When you refer to the standby button, do you mean the power button?
If in deed you did a Hard Reset then the device would be back to default settings. If you are getting the power button mapped to voice recording then your device is f**ked up badly, or at least the ROM is trashed.
you sure you didn't try to flash your rom or SPL?

No, after the hard reset the voice recording was still mapped... When I reffer to the stanby button I mean, yes, the power button.

Absolutely not! I am not a informatician to play with this kind on mods and installs. I only had my software (YM, iGo etc). Never tried to update or change the rom or the SPL.
If it is like you say, this it can't be repaired in the service?

the same problem, but i have a little more strange things:
- device still mapping power (standby) button for voice commander, even after few hard resets without restoring any previous data
- holding power button mapped for record, so after hard reset, even before aligning screen, device starts recording
- when i'm on a desktop, pressing twice power button (off/on), device going to calling screen and trying to found contact that starts with "edfc"
- when i'm in contacts, pressing twice power button (off/on), device trying to found contact in search, that starts with "edfc"
- keyboard doesn't work, front buttons also too
- when i'm typing any message in notes, for example, i can't erase it - backspace button on virtual keyboard doesn't work also
So, what are you thinking about that? Can anyone help me?
Added:
- can't get into bootloader screen (power+camera+reset)
- in Android front buttons are works, keyboard - too, except 4 buttons. guess which? e,d,f,c
Added:
- re-flashing SPL and few ROM's doesn't help

Anyone?
Or I need get prepared to buy another one?

definitely sounds like a hardware issue. you could disassemble it and check if there are any lose connectors

ok. i've checked with another motherboard and the problem is - ... motherboard. can't be more specific right now, i'll try to find out more.

sigh.....sounds spendy. Been having the same issues, if its the motherboard dont know if i should just hold out on fixing it for a touch pro 2 and use my old nokia for a while. hmmmm, hopefully its not something super spendy. Never thought i would miss my tilt so much T_T

How to hard reset (thru hardware buttons)

Hi everyone, I was trying a new software and when I tried to recover from a Sprite backup, the phone now hangs on the boot up screen (the one with the R, G and D version numbers).
¿Could someone please tell me how to force a hard reset on start up?. I'm starting to panic.

Turn off phone, press both softkeys and then press the powerbutton for exactly one second!
Not more! Then release it...

It tells me to press the "send" button. ¿Which one is it?.

For those who want to reset it while the system is running they'll have to do this:
Go to Start >More > Expert > Clear Storage.
Then you have to enter 1234 and reset

For those who want to reset it while the system is running they'll have to do this:
Go to Start >More > Expert > Clear Storage.
Then you have to enter 1234 and reset

Disregard my previous question, I've already found out.
¡¡Thank you very much Dumdidum!!. You saved my day.

To HARD RESET Turn off the phone, keep pressed the two soft keys on the front, then press power for 1-2 seconds and it will ask to press SENd key. Send key = the green key for making calls.
If you press something else the phone will reboot.

I already found out, but thank you anyway.

Yea, but he only gave you part of the story.

Quick advice
Thanks for the info . Just a comment, the trick is to just momentairly press the on/off switch as you hold down both of the soft buttons. You must continue to hold both of those down until you see a message on the screen. Keeping the power button pressed didn't do the trick for me.

I am a new comer for the WM6. My X03HT(S730) can't do the hard reset after I install a Chinese input for professional/classical version. Does it make my S730 fail to do the hard reset? My S730 now is no function with the keyboard after I get in OS. By the way, the tripod-color mode is work.

*OOPS* wrong device

Yo thanx lalvarado,
Your advice did the thing for me, super!

Need serious help

Hi guys,
Great forum, unfortunately i can't find a solution for my problem. Here is my problem: I installed Diamond TF3D Config on my phone and i tweaked a couple of things, everything went well untill i changed the TouchFlow menus.
It automatically restarts, but the loading process can't pass the HTC logo screen and now it says:
" The Device is unable to boot because either you turned of the device incorrectly...----- Press SEND to reset your device..."
Well, ofcourse I followed the instructions and pressed SEND, but it looks like it doesn't do anything at all. The error screen above keeps displaying, without anything telling me that something is being done about the problem. Is it doing something or is it just stuck? (The light is continously on).
Can you guys help me? By the way I tried the manual hard reset, but that didn't help.

did you hard or just soft reset?

well i did a soft reset, that didn't work out keep getting that screen.
and I tried a hard reset but that wasn't possible, because i couldn't get in the device, so it pretended it was a soft reset..
but do you know if it is doing something or not , cause i get the screen continously with the lights on

PM the developer... sushilange... and then post the solution here for us all to take benefit of.

Not sure of your full situation, but two options that may help; hard reset, or connecting phone to pc and try running an RUU install; of course all data will be lost, device could be as well.
---- Hard Reset Option ----
To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold both softkeys on the device (the little dots above ok, and windows key). Keep these keys pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of your device.
NOTE: I had no idea which of the many keys were considered the soft keys. They are the two buttons above the phone control buttons.
2. Release the stylus but keep the softkeys pressed when you see the following message on your device screen:
“Do you want to erase all user data and restore to manufacture default?”
3. Slide open the hardware keyboard, and press R to restore to factory default or press X to exit the hard reset process.
Note:
Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed
--- RUU install ROM --- (this is for the mogul, you'll have to find your own, just reading material)
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/mogul/software-downloads.html

k I will. And this guy has the necessary knowledge?

bjason6 , thanx for your help
but I don;t understand.
hardware keyboard, a diamond doesnt have a keyboard or do you mean something else and where are the two soft buttons i cant seem to find them

This is the proper way to hard reset the Diamond (taken from the wiki):
Switch the device off. Press and hold the "Volume Down Key" and "Action Button" (round button), at the same time, use the stylus to press the red RESET button in the stylus silo. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit'. If you press R, your device will be set back to factory default settings.
Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device: Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this.
After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device.

I thought the phone must be on for the hard reset to work, because I doesnt work on y phone

and oh, the SEND button is just the phone button right? the one beneath the House-button?

Yes, bottom left "phone" button is send
