How to fix your device if it is stuck at 4 color screen or bootloader mode

NOTE: This has also been presented as a way to hard reset the phone if the email button is broken

Download mtty v1.42 from: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZN7XTZIE http://rapidshare.com/files/115791207/mtty.ziphttp://www.ziddu.com/download/3776805/mtty.zip.html

Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete) kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe (alternative to this is to open ActiveSync press "File" and select "Connection Settings", in the newly opened window uncheck Allow USB connections)

put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.(if you want detailed information about this step take a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners )

Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001 (If you only see COM 1 and COM 2, try unplugging the USB and replugging it, or difrend USB port)

type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.

type "task 28" to get your device formatted

type "task 0" to ask your device reboot (sometimes this command does not work but type it anyway)

take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

SELECT THE DESIRED NUMBER (from http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/07/16/hey-i-didn-t-know-you-could-do-that.aspx)

When you have a contact highlighted you can press the d-pad Left and Right keys to change communication methods for the person (work, home, mobile, txt, email etc). Watch really close when pressing Left/Right, and you'll see the tiny "w" turn to "m", "h", "e" etc. I suppose this is most useful for alternating default phone numbers - when you press Talk, the selected number is dialed. Previously I used to just open the contact and select the number I wanted to call from the card view.

Windows Mobile Has a "Run" Dialog - WMExperts

I have written before (and will surely write again) about how I'd like something like Quicksilver for Windows Mobile: A simple text entry field that I could enter short, simple text commands into do Get Things Done.

I'm imagining a text field on my today screen, or barring that a little app that indexed contacts, favorites, applications, and settings via Windows Mobile 6's Smart Search (which also works on email, hint hint). Being able to put a "s" in front of a search would make it go search the web for your terms. Or "t joe I'm on my way" would send Joe a text message that I'm on my way. You get the idea. You can see I want this. I'm not the only one.

Enough background. I came across this sweet, hardcore (in a good way) Windows Mobile development blog and was largely mystified. Until I saw that you could do this: "tap and hold down the ‘Action’ key while tapping and holding the stylus on the clock shown on the nav bar." "Action key" is your center button. This'll work on a Pocket PC / Pro edition phone (but not, strangely, a Treo 750). What pops up is essentially the same as Desktop Windows' 'Run' dialog.

Break the Rules – Receive Files Anywhere on Your Device

Windows Mobile Operating Systems use the term of “beam” or “beaming” to describe every file communication between two or more devices based on Infrared (IrDa) or Bluetooth (BT). Being so, beaming a file would mean sending it via IrDa or BT (beam) to another device. When you receive a file by IrDa or BT to your device, you actually receive a beam. Beam works between all IrDa and Bluetooth enabled devices, so you can send t and receive beams from devices that are not actually Windows Mobile powered (like desktops, notebooks, regular cell phones).

Ever been in a situation where a co-worker or friend wanted to beam you a file and you received an error simply because the file’s size exceeded the available space on the device? I’m sure I’ve been!

By default, Windows Mobile saves any beam-received files to DEVICE (My Documents folder, to be more specific).

hc4’s OBEX Inbox addresses this huge annoyance with Windows Mobile environments by allowing the user to select a place, anywhere on device really, and this includes Internal Storage or Storage Card, where any incoming beamed files will be stored. Very useful for large documents, pictures, music or videos. Most of you probably moved beam-received files anyway to another location right after receiving them. Thanks to OBEX Inbox, you don’t have to do this again.

After installation, it will place an icon in Settings and by firing that up, you can set the default (from there on) storage path for incoming beam files. An additional great feature that fixes another annoyance with Windows Mobile is that, when you actually beam-receive a file through Bluetooth, it will show you valuable information regarding Speed of transfer, Percentage done and ETA time.
