I can't ound the answer with the forum search.
My Wallaby does not have a hard-reset switch. How can I hardreset it without to disassemble and take out and in the battery?
Sometimes I try functions in the bootloader menu, and after it, the Windows does not start. Only display the background with the radio and wince version number. In this case only the hardreset helps.
Any idea?

It would be possible to write a program which causes a hard reset. But in the situations where you'd need it, you can't run the program anymore. You could try wiring in a new pushbutton if you're really (really!) good with a soldering iron, otherwise I'd refrain from playing with the bootloader on such a unit.
If you leave it in bootloader mode, this will drain the batteries really quick (causing a hard reset) since the backlight stays on and power-management happens. This would still take up to a few hours, but would save you the hassle of opening it up.
Thank you!
So there is not a special key-combinations like the new iPAQ-s.
I use it for three days. I must to hard reset two times. (After I try to changed something in the bootloader)
In the first time, I pressd various key combinations, and I could hardreset it, but I can't remember how
Ok, your tipp is a good, if I'am not at home, and do not reach my torx

I find it hard to believe that there is no button combination for a hard reset
have you tried reading your Wallaby manual?
In any case, I have an app installed called THM Task Manager, and it has a "shutdown" option which INCLUDES hard reset. I haven't tried this yet (for obvious reasons) but you're free to so if you'd like.
Hope this helps

you have not tried inserting the unscrewed cap of your pen into the lower right pinhole on the side of your xda?
There is no hardreset micro-switch inside.
On the mainboard there is only the place for the switch, but no switch.
I read the wiev the manual for the Qtek1010 only, that I downloaded, and not found any text about hard-reset key-combinations.
I bought it from a guy, who build a working xda from two killed devices. I gave only a sync cable, no manual or anithing else.
Hard-reset program sometimes can't help. As I wrote, I needed hard-reset two times, after I changed something in the bootloader. The device stops at the windows welcome screen, wher the version number displays. I can't start any hardreset program at this tiem.
Thank you,
Gábor
ic, so it's a sort of "refurbished, frankenstein" unit. the guy must've forgotten to put on the micro switch, when he was putting the thing together.
you could disconnect the battery and wait till the backup batt drains too. that should hard reset the thing, when you reinsert the main battery
Download PHM Task manager here:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/TaskMgr/
Install it.
Then go to the shutdown menu - there in is a "hard reset" option
Follow the warnings etc and execute - your device will then be hard reset!
FYI,
JB
PS: please post if this solves your Frankenstein units problem...
I thought the hard reset was a hardware feature on the xda that isolates the battery physically from the board, is that possible to implement in software??
Admittedly - I never used this method on my old XDA; however, I have used this on two Toshiba PDA's (e740 and an e755) and it works.
To the best of my knowledge, this works via software by telling the device to release/erase everything in volatile RAM - ie a hard reset w/o cycling the battery.

For some reason HTC sense has stopped working, I restarted my phone just a bit ago and when it booted back up it said launching sense but it never launched and then later said it was unable to launch sense.
I've tried turning sense off and back on as well as resetting a couple of times.
I haven't done anything with my phone since it stopped working, not installed any cabs or edited the registry just all of a sudden it has stopped working. For some reason programs that use sense for example the dial pad and contacts page (or at least I assume they use some part of sense) are working.
Luckily I can still use default windows screen until I find a possible answer to hopefully save me from a dreaded hard reset.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this without a hard reset?
I had this problem about 2 weeks ago. I flashed the phone back to stock ROM but it didn't fix the problem. So I had to take it in for repair. I would recommend you do the same mate.
Give this ago.
I've tried using that program above but unfortunately didn't work, so I did a hard reset and thankfully sense did work so it isn't as serious as some people where sense still doesn't work after a hard reset.
But luckily I did a complete backup before hand with spb backup, restored the backup hoping that maybe it would work but like I thought sense stopped working again.
Now just wondering if anyone knows what would be the best things to start disabling from the restore that wouldn't alter sense but yet keeping the phone as close to what it was before it started working?
Used SPB Backup? There uve got the option to customize ure restoring process.
Try to uncheck all/some manila files, uve edited, especially cookies manila files.
I had this. Turned out something on my storage card was giving me problems. Take your SDcard out, then reboot the phone. If Sense loads, format your storage card. If not, then it's another problem.
I've tried removing my memory card but the problem still persists, I then tried to restore certain parts from SPB backup until the problem starts happening again. Restorying everything but the registry and the databases that the problem exists.
Restoring the databases and not the registry leaves sense in a half working state and restoring the registry and not the databases leaves sense completely not working.
Is there a way of restoring all registry values that are related to htc sense and keeping all other values that are related to all other apps

Not sure about the registry. You might be better doing a task 29 and re-flashing your ROM.
Theres a method which involves deleting manilafull.xml from the windows folder that some people have reported as working...... It didnt work for me....
Ive had this a couple of times...........Once for no reason (I can think of)
The second time was because i took my sd card out while the phone was on.....Unless it just so happened to be a massive conincidence.......
Sorry to say but the only solution I ever found that works is......... the one you dont wanna do....
Yeah thought it would have to be a hard reset, ah well looks like I'll have to spend all day reinstalling a ton of stuff
Thanks anyway
happened to me the other day after i tried booting android. had to hard reset
I had that after booting the phone with a wrong SD card .. other one then i original use .. after putting in the original one again, it wasnt fixed .. had to hard reset
it happened twice with me. but when i flashed my ROM again it worked each time.
im having a problem like this...how can I hard reset without going thru manilla settings?
EDIT: jeez im such a dummy sumtimes....
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Hi, i have a problem. so i put darkstone froyo on my htc hd2. Everything was working perfect even windows mobile and right now when i restarted my phone from android to go back to windows mobile my phone just showed "launching htc sense" but it does load up!:/ the phone and some programs work but i seem to be having a problem with sense as well I have cookies home tab installed as well as bsb tweaks. anyone have any suggestions? i really dont want to hard reset my phone.
So after seeing this today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700311
I thought I'd try it, as my HD2 currently won't display any Chinese characters, and I happen to like trying to learn Chinese.
Anyway, so I installed the cab on my device, did some things, and then later soft-reset it. Now, when the Lock Screen appears, it's not accepting my password. I'm 100% certain the password is correct, and I've tried enough times to make it ask me to enter "a1b2c3". Still no dice after rebooting.
Any ideas? Or am I forced to hard-reset my phone and lose all my data?
Thanks,
Jaxbot
it work great on me
yesterday i was using my HD2 like always
this morning it had some error's (like: storage card2 instead of storage card, opera giving "invalid signature" errors, email setup erased, some gui modifications removed (small ones like the one to remove the bars in the main screen)
and after a few tries to restore it (and some soft resets)
the device suddenly decided to completely wipe it self and return to factory mode after a soft reset!!!
luckly i only "lost" some SMS messages (still need to find a good way to back those up)
anyone who has experienced the same thing?
first time i experienced this, i really hope the device is not malfunctioning (hardware like) and it was just a bug in the software
Sounds like some software went completely insane on your device. When you have a new setup, try to add software step by step and then try for while. Maybe you have a chance to identify the bad guy!
As for the backup, did you look into MS MyPhone? It synchronizes your phone content, including the SMS messages. This way you can restore them at any given time.
Hello there guys. This is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. I have problem on my device. Basically my htc hd2 was running fine, i had all my programs installed etc. I have created various backups of the phone using sprite backup.
I decided to do a hard reset because the phone never used to go into standby (screen off) when charging, only the backlight used to dim. I checked all the settings and i set the device to dim after 1 min and switch off after 2 mins when connected to external power. It still never switched off, this was turning out to be a nuisence specially when getting missed calls at night and screen staying on.
Therefore i done a hard reset and used sprite backup to restore various backup's as i had a few, but they wernt making the device function correctly. So once the backup file's were restored everything would be fine on the phone untill it went into standby, it then would fail to respond, sometimes the hardware button light up, sometimes nothing. The screen would remain off. I would really like to use the backup files as restoring the phone manually would be teadous. Any clues in what could be causing this, cant be the case off a bad backup as i have created a few.
P.S When hd2 is returned to stock it functions normally. Programs installed battlog, clear temp, bsb tweakes opera 10, opnmarket, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd 1.5.1.0 v2.1, coreplayer 1.3.6, myplayer, 1NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, 2NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab.
Really appreciate it if you pros can shed any light on this? cheers
Same problem here!
Hi,
I face exactly the same problem - some days ago I was forced into a hard reset because I couldn't unlock my HD2 anymore (the PIN was not accepted anymore, which seems to be a know Win Mobile 6 bug...).
Nevertheless, after the hard reset, I restored from a previous Sprite Backupset and now the phone most of the time never wakes up from standby anymore - this drives me nuts!
I really do not to install everything from scratch (what is backup good for if the restored system does not function properly??
Any clues how to solve this issue?
Jan
Seems like the program you are using for backups of software isn't backing up properly and creating a corrupt backup. I would recommend just reinstalling everything from scratch.
What i recommend is just saving all the cab files on your SD card and when you need to hard-reset you can just run through all the installation instead of keep downloading the cab files. Also some Roms have auto-install folders where you can place your cab files in a certain folder and it will install everything for you. Other than that your pretty much SOL. Hope this helps.

SPB Backup v2.1.0 build.3536 has served me well ...
SPB Backup. I've had to restore backups to my phone several times, and it's worked like a charm. Be sure to consider using the SPB Backup Sync feature, which allows you to also so keep copies of your backups on another computer.

I think, I have solved the problem. I reinstalled and re-configured all our common programs (battClock, clear temp, bsb tweakes, opera 10, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd, NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab) and it work with no problem in the last 24 hours. It means that one of the above programs couldn't be restored properly with the "sprite backup".
