Hello,
I have a problem whit my Wallaby, I don't know how is happened, but the result is not working BIOS, If you have a thing how to fix this ... PLSSSSS tell me
Thanks
im now sure what should be "low level reset" but you can soft and hard reset wallaby. soft reset is performed by pushing the sylus into the hole on the left side of memory card slot (screen is up), soft reset will solve some minor problems like hanging programs...
also there is a hard reset which will erase all memory except ROM, that means any user data or software that you installed.
windows and programs in rom will remain intact. that is performed by pushing of the top of the stylus (you have to unscrew it) into the hole on the right side from the memory slot (screen up), push the stylus pin inside to turn battery off, wait couple of seconds and push it again to turn battery on.
if that doesnt help probably you will have to install new rom...

Hi
I installed piece of Software called GPS Assist to acompany by TomTom Nav software. Big Mistake.
Did a Soft Reset, and it gets to the Today screen, displays half the items on it (sometimes less or more after every reset) and then just freezes.
Tapping the screen or any hardware buttons wont do anything. Im guessing something that runs for GPS Assist is starting on bootup, and freezing it.
I really dont want to do a Hard Reset, I've been careless lately and not backed it up in quite a while.
Is there anything I can do, some way of getting into the bootup and stopping services..or anything like that ?
Thanks

Hey, for me have the same issue. but i tried installing Transformer 1.1.... Even I tried Hard reset... not working... have u found the solution????
I am using HTC ELF...
If any one have solution plz post it...
probably you will have to hard reset it, it has been a long time since i used a wallaby, you should of installed a program called safe mode which allows you to do what it says and go into safe mode on the pocket pc, spb pocket plus has a similar function too. This would of at least allowed you to boot up the wallaby and uninstall the offending program.
have you tried just leaving it on for half an hour ,connected to the pc. it might not be actually crashing just locked in a never ending loop?
And you did hold the power button in while using the stylus to reset(A hard reset) not just used the stylus to reset(Soft reset)?
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.

Hi !
Does anyone know about the soft-reset?
1- Push into the big hole on the left bottom side.
2- Open the SIM door and reinsert SIM.
All the methods above are the way to restart the machine.
I think the first method is the way to do the soft-reset. What is about the second method, soft-reset too or not?
Please give me the details about the methods above.
Thank in advance,
I'm pretty sure both operations perform the same function.
The other reset is a hard reset which is holding the power button down and pressing the stylus into the hole at the same time.
I guess you know that a hard rest returns the unit to the power on state when you first bought it, wipes everything then reinstall the default apps from ROM.

Hi ednap !
Why do we have to press the power button and press the stylus into the small hole on the right side at the same time?
i recall that xda1 have 2 holes in the buttom the one of the left is softreset and the one on the right is hardreset
i think that if you hold down the power button and softreset a xda1 you end up in the bootloader

Only do this if you have a serious failure on your device and nothing will work. It wipes your device of any application you may have loaded, documents created, photos taken and returns the device to it's factory built state.
I am refering to the XDA II, sorry if the original question was about the XDA.
As stated by mvsmith07 a hard reset is only used when you want to perform a full reset of your unit, deleting everything and the reinstalling whaterever is in your ROM. For those who have not altered the ROM files that means returning the unit to as it was when you first powered it up after taking it out of the box.

Does it clear whats on you SD cards?

No, only wipes the ROM and storage memory of the device itself. Doesn't touch the storage card.

Ive had this tmobile mda for about a year and it was telling me that its memory was dangerously low or something. so i told it to clear all text messages cause there was like 5000. i figured it would take a half a day or so and i just left it. after a day it was still lagging and pretty much not responding or answering calls or texts or anything so i pulled out the battery to reset it. when i put the battery back in every soft key short cut button i pushed resulted in error message saying, error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename. when i enter the start menu everything is gone except for 'today', 'calupd', and 'coldinit'. all of these are dead shortcuts. its like all the memory of the phone (pocket windows) is gone. how do i go about trying to fix it. i can 'explore' on microsoft activesync, but it tells me when i tried to upgrade the software, that it is not connected.
even a nudge in the right direction would be helpful
Try to Hard Reset your device after backing up.
Punching Reset hole (Next to IR window) while holding CommManager and VoiceDial, then you will be presented a black screen with white text, press "Dial" to wipe all user data.
alright guys i think i may be screwed here.
teh phone i got is the HD2 runing widnows mobile "5.2.21869"
now the problems i have is that most of the apps i go in to, teh screen orientation is stuck on landscape and there is nothign i can do to get it back. shaking violently dosen't work for all teh rage fixers out there.
i tryed re-calibrating the G-sensor with no luck. then for a laugh i calibrated it so that the phone though flat was at some obscure angle, then reset to flat, alro with no luck.
i have done the foctory reset located within the operting system with no change, and i have done the manufacture's reset as well (the one where you hold down teh volume buttons and tap the power button).
now i have the firmware update that will most likely fix this but there is a problem (which is where i think im screwed). whenever i plug the phone into my pc, or any other, it simply charges adn will not recognise that i have connected it to a computer. (i have dissabled charging whenever connected to a PC).
so do you have any suggestions guys or am i as screwed as i think i am.

After you plug the phone into a usb port on the pc, does a screen pop up on the phone letting u choose from either : charge only, disk drive, or the one u need for update "sync"
If not you might have to download a new windows rom from the hd2 rom section and put it on the sd card
checkout this newbie section on how to
just verify in the settings under phone how what is your rom size
for 512 MB ROM use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
for 1024MB ROM use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
There are instructions there on how to do this without using the usb cable, Just flash thru the SD CARD
Good Luck
