Firstly I would like to thank numourous people on this website, as a long time reader and solver of a few phones I have had over the last year, its thanks to you people that I have been able to fix, upgrade, and modify these phones.
Thank you all.
My problem is I recently bought 3 of these SPV m3100 from a local boot sale, 2, I've got working, unlocked and WM 6.1 installed and mobile shell, running perfect, the other one starts and gets up to the phone password, which I have no Idea what it is, I've tried to do a hard / soft reset ,I can get it into bootloader, but It trys to sync with activsync but says "unlock password !"
I've also tried a 1gb micro sd card, but again nothing happens as its locked, I've downloaded the manual and it states that if you have lost the password, you have to clear the memory!!!
I've tried to do a hard reset but I do not get the option of returing phone to original( assuming this might get rid of the password?) I just get a white screen with no writing for me to press "R", bootloader is the coloured bars, and when normal booting, screen is perfect up to password screen!
Any help would be appreicated.
Many thanks again

Switch off the SPV M3100, then on the bottom of the phone you have the answer call and end call buttons in clusters of 3 buttons on each side. The Top button on the left is a dash like symbol -- above the windows button, and you have the same dash like symbol button -- on the right above the ok button. You need to hold down both the dash-like symbol buttons and the middle silver button at the same time, then restart the phone. The phone will ask you if you want to reset the entire phone memory and settings back to factory settings and confirm this by using the Query keyboard letter "R". Click R and it will wipe it and set it back to its original settings. Hope this helps. Thanks Pete from www(dot)86plex(dot)com

I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized.
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
HELP!
Have you tried a soft reset without the sim or sd card in the xda?
From My experience, I faced this situation (very slow response) once when I selected "Calib/Debug" option by mistake from the GSM menu in the bootloader. The only solution was to do select "Reset" from the same menu but more than once. Hope that will work with you.
PS: if you didn't go to the GSM menu, forget what I said ... your problem might have another cause.

It's a long shot, but this could be dirty SIM or SIM contacts.
Hi
Using a recently purchased used Xda (64mb version). Trying to amend settings for Ornage SIM (machine was supplied already unlocked) the screen froze. Have tried soft and hard resets but nothing. All I have is the Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 screen which doesn't react to anything it appears. Even the battery light doesn't flash although I have fully charged it. Any offers of help out there??
Did you have the xda working with your orange sim? Have you tried unscrewing the top of the stylus and pushing it once in to the hole at bottom right of your xda, then wait one minute and press one time again? You will lose all data.
Yes, I had it working quite well with Orange. Had web browser plus using POP 3 to receive all incoming e mails. Couldn't send e mails though, hence trying to change seetings which is when it all went wrong. Tried soft reset first, followed by hard reset but still nothing other than the welcome screen
And this happens even with the sim removed? Sorry I should have asked that before. It seems to be exhibiting radio stack problems, but if you havent messed with that I dont know if its possible for it to corrupt spontaneously.
Yu, happens with SIM removed
:roll: my device O2 xda died on me yesterday. I was performing the upgrade recommanded on myxda.com. Program A went alright and created a connection with my PC. Program B missed things up. The device showed a message on the phone interface saying"Wireless is not connected, please switch on wireless. I did not know how to do that and I entered my SIM PIN but didn't work. The device fooze and didn't respond to any thing. I did soft reset. again the same message and the device foze. I did a hard reset and it got worse. The device opens on the O2 screen (blue page) then switched to a blank white screen with the keyboard icon at the lower right hand corner and this has been the case since yesterday.
I can't establish connection to my PC and try to reinstall the Programs A&B again cause I did the hard reset and the device is limp. Please anyone help those who are in the lower end of the Technology ladder.
thanks you in advance

Hi
Unfortunately I was in the middle of upgrading the software to version 172181 when I decided, for some strange reason, to pick the phone up out of the cradle and make a call. DOH!
I can no longer get the phone to boot up / turn on it is just stuck on the low light o2 backscreen and shows
r 1.17.00
g 1337.20
d 1.72.00wwe
Im quite literally just stuck on that screen, the phone wont seem to reset, reboot or hard reset or turn on or off.
I assume im doing the hard reset correctly on/off button and reset button with stylus.
I did see somewhere to use the on/off button, camera button, record button and reset button with stylus but this does not appear to work either.
I don't know whether the condition is terminal or not but anyone can help i would really appreciate it I have a lot of information on there that is very valuable to me.

would you happen to know if there is any way I can manage my contacts from the pc? i searched activesync and there appears to be nothing there. My old motorola bought up kind of a virtual phone on the pc and managing and adding contacts was easy.

It's bcoz the flashing/upgrading/installing of ur fone seems not to be finished. Always follow instruction. If you really want to do something, think twice so you never messed up. nweiz, try to load it again in bootup mode and re-flash it. there are a lot of ROM for the Himalaya, you can download one. Try to search. again, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
Bought a touch pro knowing that the backlight on the screen works, but that the actual screen doesn't. I've tried connecting it to the computer and it said it that the phone needs to be unlocked first...i was going to see if I could unstall SOTI on there and use the computer to view the screen and stuff...i've tried hard resets and I'm lost can anyone help.
Bad screen or flex cable
Open and close the handset while it is turned on, if it flickers or you see any color or shape goasting then the flex cable is needs replacing.
If you can see the backlight on, and nothing changes then look for impact damage, usually something/somone fell on it.
If no damage markings, then the unit is probably locked, an no one knows the code.
Contact seller for more info?
I haven't try to recover a locked TP yet.
But, If your up to trying something. Find the correct "Service Provider" up-date or original shipped ROM from HTC support, this forum or PPCGeeks.com.
With the shipped .exe ROM packages, the TP can be put in bootloader and "Clean Flashed" without needing to be unlocked or add anything.
This how updated ROM are delivered and installed from HTC.
Hope this bit of info helps. I have the Last Alltel .exe if you need it.
Thanks for the info but sadly that didn't work. The loader says it can't establish a connection.
Well update got the phone to hard reset and now it's unlocked can anyone walk me though what happens after the hard reset. Like after the hard reset what screens show up show that i can set this up without the screen and use my SOTI program to view the screen on the computer

Here is the thing. The rom is going to start up doing the initial setup (calibration, time zone selection, etc). Mymobiler might work better since it installs via activesync and connects to the device the moment you plug it in. Give that a go and see if it works.
Thank you i will try that
Probably not the right place to ask but is there someway i can install a program on the phone without any kind of input from myself...ie putting mymobiler or similar cab file and having it run it when i inserted the memory card and i not having to make any kind of inputs on the screen? seeing as i can't see anything?

If you put an autorun file in the root of the card pointing to that cab, you should be able to do this. However, the device will ask you if you want to install to memory or storage. I guess if you simply press the "Enter" button (circle in the D-pad), it might just do it.
