Hello,
How are you?
I have a xda, and unfortunately it has stopped working properly.
The problems i am facing are:
1/. I am unable to connect to it via activesync
2/. I am unable to enter the programs folder. I am however able to go into settings.
3/. When i start many/all of the programs, it says that there is not enough memory and that i should go to the memory manager and close a few. The problem is that there are no programs open!
4/. When i do a hard reset, the above problems to do go away!
Now, i last thing i have done is to install the slovoed dictionary program. The program installed fined and said that i need to reboot the device inorder to update the registry.
After reboot, all these problems started ;-(
Before i install this it worked fine!
Please help me. I really need to fix my xda.
I only have access to the sd card. I can not connect via active sync.
Can someone point me to where i can find a full back up, so that i can put it on my sd card and over write everything that is one my xda.
I am not sure exactly what i need but I am sure someone who has a greater expertise on this does.
I much appreciate all your help.
Regards,
Monza.
hard reset
Have to perform a hard reset. After a hard reset the OS of a Pocket PC is reloaded from ROM, and you start with a blank system, only the OS and some applications. Also all data will be gone.
The XDA's stylus exists of 2 parts. Twist and unscrew them. Use the grey plastic part of the stylus to hard reset the XDA.
It is all in the manual.

Hi
I've installed Opera 10 to my storage card on my HD2 and have noticed that after dis-connecting from my PC (as a disk drive) if I try to launch Opera 10, I get the following error message:
'Opera10-armv4i' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
I have to soft reset to get it running again.
I'm on the stock 1.48 ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's what happens when your device doesn't have access to the storage card and you try and run software installed on it. I had the exact issue earlier tonight, but it was still plugged in at the time - I was being a numpty. As soon as I unplugged it I could run the app.
I take it this issue persists with you after you unplug then? Maybe your device isn't recognising that you've unplugged the cable.
If I try to run the application (Opera) when connected to the PC, its a different message:
The file 'Opera10-armv4i' cannot be opened..........
I've also tried installing directly to the device and get the same error.
That is strange then. A bit obvious, but have you googled the error message to see if it's a common Opera 10 problem?
Yes - tried to Google but nothing!
Well I'm sorry mate, but I can't help. I'm sure someone on here will have some good ideas.
Good luck getting it sorted!
Just replicated the same error on my spare stock 1.43 ROM HD2.
How are ppl installing this cab? Directly from the SD card on the phone or via PC / Activesync?
I'd imagine via a cab. That's where I originally did it from, but I uninstalled it way back. I didn't like the lack of pinch-to-zoom that was in the earlier version, so I just dumped it.
Maybe it's a general Opera issue. It would be interesting to see if any others who have Opera 10 could reproduce the problem.
Interestingly, just connected it to my Macbook as a disk drive and the error hasn't replicated.
Strange......
im getting the same error. DL'ed a fresh copy of Opera 10 Beta 3, removed old version, deleted registry keys and reinstalled onto storage card. Been having this problem for some time now. Strange thing is, I can play my music, navigate through my storage card, and even install the .cab from the storage card, but it doesnt seem to like running Opera anymore. It ran just fine until a few weeks ago.
I had also hooked up my phone to my PC as both a storage device and Active Sync.
I have the same problem.
Installed on HTC TP2 from cab on storage card and now there is an error.
same error
I have the same error. Where any of you able to fix it? if so how? thanks in advance.
I have the same problem! I can just soft reset to get it working again.
Any other good touch browser?
Thanks
I am getting exactly the same problem. I have uninstalled it, downloaded the cab again and installed (copied cab to SD and installed onto SD).
Edit:
After some more routing around it seems that if you connect via USB as a disk drive it causes the problem. A soft reset should solve it. Connecting through Active Sync does not cause this issue. I was copying some files across last night using **** drive access mode (something I rarely do), and I started to see the error message.
Soft reset cures it (I guess until you want to connect using disk drive access again!).
I think this mostly happens when we try to open opera from home screen short cut (on Sense, SPB MS etc.). I often face this issue and when I open it from start menu it works sometimes, otherwise I have to do a soft reset.
Thanks
I'd like to sell my HD2 running Android. However I cannot get it to reset the gmail account that I entered on it. These are things I've tried just so you know I'm not being lazy. Also please be gentle if this is not in the right area. Its a windows based hd2 running android so the correct section was a little confusing. Also I didn't flash it and of course the person that did isn't around compounding the issue. I need to maintain the flash but if I can't I can't .
1. data reset, several times
2. deleting the account ( I get an error saying, " This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults blah blah blah").
3. Going in and clearing "google apps" which doesn't exist.
I appreciate any help.
save all apps and data with titanium backup, move apps to sd card. and do a factory reset. sounds like you have a bug. and it needs a reflash or something...
first, turn on wifi. then reboot your phone with wifi on. try to delete account now.
not sure about how it works on a hd2 running android but you can not the main gmail account when android is loaded.
I would recommend booting into recovery mode ( not sure how you would do that in a hd2 ) and doing a factory resst from there.
Only solution is to delete all android related programs off of sd card and reflash, thanks a million though guys.

Same question. This hasn't been answered?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
factory rest ...and reset from recovery mode too if needed
I'm having a similiar problem. I have an HTC HD2 from Tmobile that now has Android 2.2 that I installed from DFT. I am now wanting to give this phone to my son and unable to remove my gmail acct.
Here is what I have done:
1. Manage apps>force stop & clear all data for google apps & reboot phone
2. Settings>Accounts>delete account, etc... (given error message and unable to delete)
3. SD & Phone storage>Factory data reset (phone reboots with all information still the same)
4. Soft (pressing yellow button on back of phone)
5. Hard reset (holding both volume buttons, etc...)
6. Install root explorer (unable to find accounts.db file)
7. Ask store associate for assistance (no help at all)
8. Search the internet far and wide for past 2 days to no avail
I'm not worried about any information/apps that may be deleted. I just want my email deleted as the primary.
Thank you!

but phone should be rooted.
Hi, i seem to have a bit of a problem with my HTC HD2. Earlyer today i lost the network connection. Thinking it's just a error i reseted the phone and when it asked for the password (not sim password but phonelock password) it did not recognize it. After dooing so several times now when i pres the "unlock" key it does nothing.
I've done a bit of reading and it seems the only solution is a hard reset with wich i don't have a problem... Except i'd really like to keep some of the personal files, meaning my messages.
I can acces the phone's memory (i don't have a memory card) but none of the folders there indicate to have the information i am looking for.
I know that you cand sync your phone with your pc but in order to do so you must first confirm the connection, and since my phone dosn't recognize the password i can't acces that way.
So my questions are:
1. Is there any tool i can use to acces the phones system files
2. What is the folder i can find the messages in?
3. (any other solution to my problem would be more than appreciated)
Thanks for reading

You can backup your messages with PIM backup.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
After,just copy the .pib file to your PC and after hard reset you can restore your messages.
Thanks for the replay. Unfortunatley i can't use the tool since i can't acces my phone. In order to run the .exe of PIM backup i need to get past the password screen wich does not work (i type in my password, press the "unlock" key and it does nothing).
i can only acces the phone as far as seeing it as a "Removable hard drive" where i find folders like pictures and video etc.
Any solutions?

Yes but that's from now on. I need the 1500 msgs already there cause they have important info. As a last resort i'll take it to a service maybe they know.
Thanks and still waiting.
Hi Everyone, I need some serious help - thanks in advance!
I have a LG Enlighten phone - I am a tech, although I am new to the whole smartphone thing (ya, I know, where have I been lol). Anyway, as you probably know it has limited internal storage. So I have a Sandisk 32gb micro sd card installed where I move things over to it to keep space open on the internal. The phone is rooted.
Ok, things were going well - and I am not sure what happened precisely, but obviously I must have moved something over to the sd card I shouldn't have. The phone went wonky on me after a reboot. I got stuck in a boot loop I could not recover from. So I did a factory reset (power button, home, and volume up). That went just fine. I activated just fine to. Problem is after that all I get is: Sorry! the application com.android.lgsetupwizard (process com.android.lgsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
You can press the force close button a million times (I probably have) and nothing happens. I have tried EVERYTHING to try to clear this and I can't get passed it. I've spent two days online reading forums, web pages, watching youtube videos - nothing has helped. Problem is, since I did a factory reset its back to defaults (I am assuming) meaning USB debugging and mounting is turned off because it is turned off as default. I can't get passed that infernal screen to turn it back on.
I don't have any data on here that I care about I just want my phone back. I don't mind flashing the rom but for the life of me I can't get at it!
When I go into restore mode, at least with the enlighten it doesn't give you options - it just shows the picture of the android for a few seconds then reboots. No idea what it's doing there.
I tried re-formating the micro sd card thinking maybe it was picking something up from there, that didn't seem to do anything.
I have Android Studio installed, I was hoping to do something through it - but again the phone isn't mounting when plugged into my laptop (windows 7) - it was before - no doubt because that feature is turned off because of the factory reset.
If you have ideas, please speak in small words with lots of steps. Thanks.
HELP!
Hello,
I'm trying to get an Alcatel Idol X (One Touch 6040D, no custom roms or modifications) out of a crash loop, but have been unsuccessful so far. The trouble started when the phone wanted to download and install text-to-speech voice data ("Female for English"). At some point this download/install crashes, causing the phone to reboot. When rebooting the phone hangs on the Alcatel screen with white background. I have to power it off then on again. Then it boots and starts the download/installation again, causing it to crash seconds after.
I've tried the following to no avail:
Clear cache partition from recovery menu.
Force stopping "Download Manager" and clearing cache & data. I have to be very quick to do this, otherwise the phone reboots. Unfortunately clicking the clear buttons has no effect. The used disk space stays the same (80.00KB data, 12.00KB cache). The phone will not reboot at this point, but many apps (Google Play, Settings,...) and processes are crashing repeatedly (android.process.acore, android.process.media and com.google.process.gapps). Eventually, so much has stopped working that the phone reboots.
There's a thread, I found almost a month ago on Androidcentral, about this very same problem. But what worked for the thread starter and other people, i.e. the clearing of cache and data of the "Download Manager" doesn't work for me. Probably because the cache/data clearing is not actually executed. So that might be something to look into further. See point two above. My replies in that thread haven't been responded too, unfortunately.
I'm aware that the cleanest solution is probably a factory reset from the recovery menu. However that would mean data loss of photos and app data, that haven't been backed up. My main goal is to get the phone into a state that a recovery/syncing of that data can be done. After, I don't mind doing a factory reset.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

Hello,
this problem still could not be resolved unfortunately Does anybody have any idea why the "clean cache" doesn't appear to have any effect?
Cheers,
eXistenZ_69
Not too familiar with Alcatel as they aren't popular around where I live... I would think that there's an option to wipe cache in recovery however. If that doesn't help, I would try to quickly toggle airplane mode to stop the download process so you can backup what you need.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
thanks for your reply. The problem seems not to be related to Alcatel specifically. See Google Text-to-Speech Won't Stop Downloading for other brands of Android smartphones that had the same issue. Unfortunately, what helped others, i.e. clearing the cache, does absolutely nothing in my case I also already tried clearing the cache partition in the recovery menu. Disabling wifi is another thing I tried to no avail. The download manager still starts installing or trying to download the voice data and crashes. Any other suggestions?
Cheers,
eXistenZ_69
Are you rooted by any chance? What's going on with the Download Manager shouldn't affect your ability to backup your photos at least when you plug it into a computer. If you aren't rooted, you might look into trying to do an adb backup if your phone supports it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091047&highlight=4+4
No, the phone is not rooted. Never did any modifications of that sort.
I tried connecting to the pc before, but it's not possible to browse the phone content. The crashing services I mentioned in my first post are probably interfering. I will try it again on another pc... Will an adb backup work in that case? Or is it possible to do an adb backup without booting android fully?
Cheers,
eXistenZ_69
So I tried again plugging the phone into a computer. The computer plays the connection sound and shows the phone when clicking on the "Safely disconnect USB device" in the task bar, but unfortunately it's not possible to browse the phone contents using the file explorer :crying: There is a slowly moving progress bar shown in the file explorer location bar and eventually it just stops and nothing happens.
I couldn't try the ADB backup tool in the thread you suggested cause the site is down. It most likely won't work anyway given the fact that the USB connection cannot be established successfully.
*sigh* I'm starting to think I'm out of options. It's just so frustrating to know that the images and contact data are present on the device, but there is no practical way to get to them. I could do a reset to factory settings and hope to recover any images using a tool like Recuva, but that would definitely endanger them.
eXistenZ_69
Only other thing I could think of would be to root and hopefully you could freeze/disable the Download Manager in time before the crash to be able to recover stuff.
Adb still might work even though MTP isn't. Just have to hurry through the settings to enable it. If you don't have adb on your computer search : Minimal ADB and Fastboot here on xda.
Hello es0tericcha0s,
Today I had a major breakthrough. Using ADB I successfully copied over the /sdcard directory contents on the phone. This means all pictures have been recovered!! So happy about that Thank you so much for your help! :highfive: It didn't work right away after installing minimal adb & fastboot though, my phone was not listed when doing "adb devices". I then installed some software from Alcatel called "One Touch Center", which is used for managing phonebook, sms, ringtones, etc... that was not able to connect to the phone either. However I think it installed some driver, because after ADB was able to connect to the phone :good:
I'm currently trying to figure out how to root the phone so I can delete the download manager cache/data. From what I've read by now is that those should be present somewhere under /data/data/ . Those directories require root privileges unfortunately. I tried Kingo Root which lists the phone as supported, but that failed to acquire root.
Would be great to succeed in fixing the crash loop too, so I can sync contacts and other data too.
Thanks again!
Cheers,
