HTC Touch HD Problem

[YazHTC09]

Guys,

I need your help. My HTC Touch HD cannot initiate the TouchFlo (3D), and I cannot view it the way it should be at all. I don't know what happened but it just doe sthe following when you restart it:

It will go to the TouchFlo (3D) Page and the message saying "Tap Here to Launch TouchFlo (3D)
I tap and it keeps saying Launching TouchFlo (3D) but it never does that

I can access the mobile from the Start Menu but I want my Touch HD Back to the way it was before.

Anybody has any suggestions please post them or email me at: yaeyo2@yahoo.com

thank you guys

Save PIM data (ex with PimBackUp or similar) then make an HardReset: HD off, Hold VolUp+VolDown then one click on PowerOn Botton.

PS: The process erases all your data but solve the SW problems

Wait, hard reset is the last solution!
Have you installed an application or any graphics drivers? New rom?
If so then you could try to uninstall it and see if the problem is solved!
Sometimes I had this when installing bad drivers.
You could try to install these drivers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496528). (at least before doing a hard reset)

helio is correct,

HR is the last resort (although it will of course fix the problem) as you wont understand what has caused the underlying problem, you will then install the same software/apps and end up with the same issue.

Look at what you have have installed recently, or changed manila files. An incorrect change if playing with a manila file will cause touchflo not to start.

Thanks Guys for your Comments and Recommendations, I really appreciate that,
I need to know how to Backup the PIM Data. I found a file with pim next to it and I already saved it on the Storage Card. Is there any other PIM File(s)? I also listened to you onnot doing the Hard Reset, and removed every software I have doubt about or had installed recently. But the problem still presists, TouchFlo (3D) Cannot launch. Help and thanks again.

Use this app, zip below, to back up your data (emails, contacts etc). The app is simple to use. Word of warning if you use Exchange to sync email and contacts, be CAREFUL....restoring your contacts and then syncing will duplicate all your contact entries (i know because i did it and ended up with 2000 contacts!!!)

You dont say what you had installed, just that you had removed them. Purely unistalling may not fix the issue if a registry change has not reversed.

Have you been playing with any manila files, or deleting anything you shouldnt be? Have you been playing with the registry?

If you really cant analize what you have done and without much more info, you have to decide if the HR is the only available option to you (ie you want the quick fix).

Dear Timmymarsh,

thank you for all you've done for me, I really appreciate that. I am sorry I did not mention what I did. What I have done is try a new ROM, I think it Was WWE but which one I don't remember. I downloaded a bunch of files from this site, thinking they would work without testing them first. But they did not turn out to be what I was looking for. I downloaded the Choco Clock, Sygic GPS, and others from the Manila....and other developers but when I unzipped and installed them they did not work for some reason. So I just deleted them, the thing is I know I should have uninstalled them first. But for some reason I just can't even find the files created by these add-ons or applications. No, I did not touch the registry at all. I am not a Software Man, obviously you guys are amazing in this stuff, I am more into infrastructure if you have any uestions about Wireless Network or Physical Security let me know. I am trying to learn more about this Mobile and want to be able to utilize it to the fullest. Thank you again. For this time I think I am going with the HR so I can erase everything that I downloaded and did not setup Properly, then I am going to install only trusted add-ons and softwares. thanks.

No probs my friend, its what we are here for yes:D

As for what you have done, its always best to uninstall first, just deleting causing reg problems hence the issues you are now facing. I would say on this occasion HR is your best bet. Best bit of advise i can give you is, install one app/software, test and if there are no compatability issues then add another, if there is then at least you know to safely remove by unistalling that app.

Have fun, the HD is a brilliant bit of kit and can be expanded/modded vastly:D

JP this is a little off topic, but have you followed the many good guides in the blackstone forum and where are you running the ruu from, make sure its on the root drive not in many folders. You using XP?

PM me please once you have read this and i will delete this post to keep thread clean.
