Complete noob here.
I was installing the HTC Home Customizer on my new HTC Touch Pro phone and there was a problem with the installation that caused me to reset the phone. Well, now the phone won't reboot!! It hangs right after Windows Mobile 6.1 loads.
How do I fix? Can I reinstall WM6.1, or can I flash a ROM? All information I've seen for doing this requires ActiveSync to be working. I can't get the phone booted far enough to get it ActiveSync to work.
Please don't tell me I've bricked my phone!
Can you at least attempt a hard reset?

Do you mean, yank the battery out and then reboot? If so, yes I've tried that.
Okay, I found the wiki explaining what a Hard Reset is.
Negative. Holding VOLUME DOWN and CENTER buttons while RESETTING the phone does not help. Still locks up immediately after you hear the tone played at the Windows Mobile Boot screen.
Other suggestions?
Looks like I forgot the part about holding the Power button while doing a Hard Reset.
Doing a Hard Reset correctly, did fix my problem. THANKS GUYS!!!

hi everybody..
i've got a serious problem..
here's the story..
i was trying to upgrade to the touch v7 by mr. gullum.
after downgrading my prophet to the no vendor id rom, i upgraded my device to the touch v7.
next i tried to hard reset my prophet, realised that i can't do it cuz my camera button is not working.
went to a phone repair shop and fixed the button..the solder was..loose? i mean, the thing was unconnected from the pcb.
fixed it and tried to hard reset again.
black screen of hard reset appeared, but when i released the comm button, it went straight to the white screen showing os ver and ipl, spl ver.
tried to hard reset again and failed, it entered the white screen where we can restore rom dumps..i immediately pressed the comm button and camera button again..and it started formatting the bnfs..thing?
still can't do hard reset, tried to flash the no vendor id again, and this is the problem..i get stuck on 95% and after that it jumps to 100% straight away.
tried to flash gullum's touch v7 but i got the message that no device detected...tried pv 5.0.0.0.5b, pv 4.00.0.6, nanoscopic all with same result...
anyone can help?
oh maybe this will help:
when i tried to flash the no vendor id again, what shows up is this..(see attachment) the from image version is blank..
on the 95% where i get stuck, the progress bar on my device turns red as when it happens on the 80%.
thank you, everybody...

In my experience, what you describe is very normal . The RUU seems to stop at 80% and again at 95%. So far nothing out of the ordinairy.
But after that the device should start up and reconnect with ActiveSync. When it tries to pair choose "connect without setting up your device" (or something like that, I'm translating from dutch). After that, it should be no problem to run Upgrade.bat from the WM6 ROM of your choice.
For more detailed describtion, read the upgrade guide.
try any of this roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316062)... maybe you have spl 3.08???
it's not that..
hi there,
it's not that usual mistake people make..i think i've screwed my hardware too..
now, my previous problem was unable to hard reset because my camera button was not working..the solder was loose..
i've soldered it and the problem was after every succesful attempt to flash 'no vendor id' rom, it resets and goes to bootloader screen again (tricolor screen)..
late last nite, i tried to hard reset after succesful flash of 'no vendor id' rom (after it resets and enters the bootloader screen)..i succeeded to get into the black screen of hard reset but when i released the comm button, it went straight into the htc white screen without me being able to press any button at all..
everything went well though, and it went to the 'tap screen to set up your device'..at this point i tried to flash the 'nanoscopic' rom (last rom i use before i messed up this phone)..it went well!
after succesful attempt, i tried to hard reset again (no luck again), but after the htc screen shows up, the nanoscopic splash screen appeared!!!
whew, i thought i had my phone fixed already, but when i did a clear storage, it resets and enters into bootloader screen again! i tried soft reset via software and via manual way, and it enters the bootloader screen everytime!
now, i've fiddled some more and i now realise that just by pressing the comm button and doing soft reset can make me go into the bootloader screen..i'm guessing that the technician at the phone shop soldered wrongly...and now my comm button works as camera button too..
i think he accidentaly soldered some other button too to the comm button and that's why i always get into the htc white screen after i release the comm button in the black screen of hard reset..
i'm going to go back to the shop again after work today, but i'm still confused about the way my device enters bootloader after every reset (hard reset and soft reset)..
a friend gave an opinion that maybe, like in desktop, (there's the bios then there's the operating system), the 'bios' of my device is ****ed up?
any help greatly appreciated!
another possibility
another possibility is that my camera button is always pressed and therefore i need only press comm button and soft reset to get into hard reset screen?
i'm gonna check after work today..

It lookslike something is screwed-up... And I agree with you that the cam-buttonis most likely... Succes anyway

i think your camera button connection is short (always pressed down) if you get to hard reset screen by only pressing the comm manager button.
hmm...
too bad..yesterday the technician was out of tow..think i'll go there again this afternoon after work..
wish me luck..
NVID Success
I've got the camera button fixed, and i've flashed the NVID rom succesfully!
i'm now in the process of flashing the Transformer 1.0 by Cloudyfa..
All the best to me!
it's done!
it's done!!!
it's fixed!!!
HOOORRRRAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for everybody who tried to help me!

Hello.
I just flashed to DCS Touch Pro v14 ROM.. Everything was ok, but when I restored the backup from SPB Backup, device made soft reset and then started my problem.
When I turn it on, it goes to startup HTC animation and then freeze on it.
Is there any way to hard reset or anything that would help me??
Please :-(
You have this info on the Wiki...

Press volume buttons (inferiors) and soft reset at the same time.
When the screen go to about bootloaders still soft reset and "prays".
Bye
Many ppl trying to help
i love this forum...
I just solve it... Thank you for your advices..
Standard hard reset (Vol down + Center button + REset) didn't work - device must be on.
I tried this - Vol down. + Center button and turn on the device, that worked.
Once again thak you.

i just want to thank everyone who participated and answered this.
i almost ****ted a brick a few min's ago..
my device just stopped working it was real weird.. All was fine then i get a error msg saying that "Gyrator has encounterd an error" and BAM black screen. and no matter how many soft resets and batt pulls nothing worked.
so i immediatly signed on here..searched for about 30 seconds and with the 3 key press..all was good..device booted properly, configured itself, and im back on track.
Thanks,
Jstar
I tried the restore and it will not work for me. I can get to the boot loader screen, but it only shows serial and won't let me do anything else.

You need to get out of the GSM rom forum and go to the raphael CDMA forum. Anything you try to flash from here will not work on your device and my brick it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=465
Until you understand the difference between the two standards you shouldn't be flashing anything, as it will not be safe.

What about 'Master Reset' option in settings where you enter you pin i.e. 1234, press 'reset' and it hard resets the phone? :s

If a soft reset doesn't work then hard reset, hopefully you installed from a fresh rom flash/hard reset anyway?

tf3d never causes me any of these problems, what ROM were you on?
Thank you
... this saved my Day.
I wasn't able to do a Master Reset after Flashing.
OK, so after trying out the last android build from Markinus, winmo is now saving text messages to the SIM.
If I do a 'hard' reset, what will I lose on my phone? (contacts/texts/email setup etc??). Please explain the downside of hard reseting. Thanks! (or basically.. will I need to save/backup anything before hard resetting?)
Also: Will it remove the 'unlock' that I have applied to my phone?
Update: Well I did it anyway. Saved my contacts, but that's about it lol. Hopefully this will get my messages to saving back into memory rather than onto the sim.
Hello,
Sorry for my bad English, I have a problem with my samsung sII, by mistake I wanted to install a ROM s1 galaxy I did not see that this is the S1 and not S2 Rom
Fortunately, the ROM is not installed and the phone got stuck in the download menu, after 15 minutes I turned off my phone and he wants to turn on , I try to start it in normal mode and download mode but nothing happens
it mean that my phone is dead or it There's a solution?
Thank you in advance
From what i have heard you hard brick your phone if you try to flash i sgs1 rom on a sgs2 phone.
JTAG service should fix it.
I can really recommend this service, very helpful personel:

As mentioned if you flash an SGS 1 ROM w/ Pit to the phone, it will brick it and require JTAG if it won't power up:

Thanks for the reference guys...I mean gays...
loooool, sorry guys, and tnx for your answers, i hope that JTAG will repair my phone, i miss my Samsung
Try This:
If you think your phone may be bricked and wont turn on, try a soft reset (possibly followed by a hard reset)
1. Take out the battery, then press and hold the ON button for about 10 seconds or so. Replace the battery, then press ON button to try to switch on. This is a soft reset, and wipes the temporary memory and empties all remaining power in the circuits.
2. If this does not work, do as above but after inserting the battery, press and hold the ON+HOME buttons at the same time for 10 seconds or so again. This is a hard reset, and works best if done after a soft reset, so always try the soft reset first.

Hi,
I have an android tablet (I'm not really sure what brand it is, but on the back it says m706b) that does not boot anymore.... it just sits at the "loading..." screen. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? Can I factory reset the device somehow? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I would try to boot into recovery, push different buttons, in different combinations. I could not find a specific one for yours, but it should have one. From there you should be able to factory reset it, which I think should do the trick.
Please thank me if I helped!
Thanks for your suggestion. I have been trying that for the past hour with no result. I was hoping maybe somebody here in the forums would know.
Cheers.
The problem is, that your tablet is not popular..... sorry that it did not work. Good luck getting it to work!
Hit that thank button if I helped!
ok, here is how you do it. Settings> privacy> factory reset.
