Hard Reset damaged Treo 680?

Some time ago I've nailed my Treo 680 mounted belt on a sharp angle, causing the key 5-way such as the 'up' command is no longer available. I have now changed to a replacement of 680 and want to erase everything from the original before disposing of it, but of course, ordering "mounted", what confirms the deletion of all data during the procedure to hard reset!

Does anyone know of another way to do a hard reset which does not have this command? Any other suggestions to clean all personal data?

Thank you, Chris.

Hello and welcome to the forums of Palm.

You can download the HARDRESET program from www.palmpowerups.com. This program will be hard reset of your device as soon as you click on it - it will give you 10 seconds to press a button to cancel the hard reset. After 10 seconds, you must perform a soft reset of your device (remove the battery and then put it again) to complete the hard reset.

I hope this has been helpful!

  • problems of resettlement of CD to transfer the info from the old treo 680 again one

    After I accidentally broke my old treo 680, I got a new treo 680. I want to synchronize the info on my computer since my last synchronization successful the old Treo on the new treo. I read the instructions for the synchronization of a former palm OS device to another, say to install the software from the CD of the camera again on the CD of the previous device software. I tried to do, but when I insert CD of the new device in the drive of the computer of my Win XP Pro, nothing runs automatically. If I navigate on the CD and double-click autorun.exe, get the Palm resources on the screen (as if I had just finished the standard installation), rather than the installation wizard.

    Does this mean that I can go ahead and sync the new device safely without having to reinstall the software?

    If this is not the case, how can I get the next software installation wizard?

    Not sure if this is relevant, but my old treo 680 has been obtained directly from Palm, unlocked. My other came from TigerDirect and is supposed to be unlocked, but there the AT & T logo and packaging. I put in the SIM and battery and managed to make a phone call to test with it.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    If you replace one Palm OS device with another of the same model, there is no need to re - install any desktop software.  If the new device was previously owned, you would be Hard Reset to make sure that you start with a blank slate.  If it's really new (i.e. no previous owner), just connect your Hotsync cable.  It will ask you if you want to synchronize with an existing username or create a new.  Just select your current name.  All your applications and data should move to the new.

  • After a hard reset HotSync

    I want to just synchronize the pieces needed to run my t / x. I want to remove the program, I think it's not let run.

    Act as if you upgrade:

    -hard reset
    -Locate the backup under Palm Desktop folder folder
    -Rename in backup_old
    -synchronization, select old id. This will bring back PIMs (calendar, Contacts, tasks and Memos) but no settings or programs
    -Reinstall the applications one by one AFTER having checked that they are compatible with the device target.

  • Problems with phone Palm Treo 680

    I have a Palm Treo 680.

    I receive and make calls, it connects, but the audio does not work: I can't hear or speak.

    When I plug in the headphones, I am able to hear, but not speak.

    It seems that something related to Audio, since when I tried to play a piece with Pocket Tunes, I could listen for a minute, make a short call (and speak!) and then it worked again.

    Tried everything up to the hard reset.

  • Phone button does not return to the screen of the phone on the Treo 680

    I had a Treo 680 for the past two years. Software is listed as Treo680 - 2.11 - ATT, which I think refers to the update that came out a year ago. But the other day, the phone button (left) brings me to the Favorites screen instead of the phone's screen. I can't understand what I did, assuming that I did anything to make that happen or how do go back. When I check the personal touches, preferences, it lists the phone to phone button, and you can not choose something different.

    Any ideas?

    OaklandRobb,

    Are you sync'ing the new device the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
    If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you synchronize the device, it records the device settings, applications, 3rd party, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the folder on the PC username. When you synchronize the new device it copies the content of the backup for the old device folder in the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings of the new device, which causes erratic behavior of the new device.

    Here are the instructions for the hard reset and rename the backup file procedure. This procedure will not be re - install any 3rd party applications. You will need to re - install these applications. If you do not have the applications. on your PC for re-setup, you can take the apps. Copy the renamed backup folder, those in the newly named backup folder. When you synchronize applications will be installed. on the Treo.

    Looks like you may need to reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Then before of you hotsync your data back you will need to rename your backup folder, to do than go here.

    XP
    C:\Program files\palm or palm one\ [hotsync username]------and rename your backup
    file Backup.Old

    Vista
    Start--> documents\Palm OS Desktop\ [hotsync username]------and rename your backup
    file Backup.Old

    Then hotsync from your current name of hotsync and all your contacts, calendar,
    tasks and memos coming back.

    Show the file extensions for XP or Vista

    XP
    If you cannot view the extensions of file on your PC I would you open a
    folder, go to Tools--> Folder Options--> View (tab) and under Show hidden
    files and folders to uncheck Hide extensions of known file types.

    Vista
    Open control Panel, go to--> View (tab) and under show hidden folder Options
    files and folders to uncheck Hide extensions of known file types.

  • Restoration of hotsync after Hard Reset Palm Centro

    Hello

    My Palm Centro was freezing randomly and in particular whenever someone called me. As this was very annoying, I performed a Hard Reset of the device. Before I did I did a Hotsync to back up everything (or so I thought).

    Now when I do another hotsync after Hard Reset nothing is restored, the only things on the device that were there before are the photos that were on the memory card. All my Contacts, phone numbers, notes, calendar entries and everything disappeared. How can I restore them?

    EDIT: Ive since found all my contacts, calendar entries, memos, etc. in the application of "Palm Desktop" in Windows XP. How to I move from the computer on the Palm Centro?

    -Aussieguy

    When you hotsync it will ask for a user name, be they existing or invites you to create a new.

    you remember what username you assigned when you do the front hotsync.

    You also said that you can see your information in palm desktop, check the user name in the upper right corner where you see the user name.

    regardless of the user name displayed in the area where you can also see your data, this is the username correct to decide when you hotsync.

    now, your device is empty so kindly do the hard reset on it and then try to hotsync, but this time, you should be able to know what username to choose.

  • Problem with the software. Treo 680. Help, please

    Hello. I am of the Republic - a country of Eastern Europe. I have a friend in the United States and he send 2 weeks ago, a mobile - unlocked Palm Treo 680. Maybe in Moldova is this Treo 680 is the only mobile Palm they are not popular in our country, no one has seen before this mobile. When I received it I try to install in many programs, games, utilities... Before installing different programs, it is Treo680 - 1.12 - ROW. but he is now -/13/R01.92- (glance at the screen) [URL =http://img196.imageshack.us/i/p9303898.jpg/] [IMG]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3710/p9303898.jpg[line] [url]

    It doesn't work so well that before, are numerous shifts. I tried to reinstall the update of 1, 12-LINE, but I can't. Please help me... What can I do now?

    Where do you have the ROM update file? I have not seen a RO1.92 update. What is a hacked ROM update? The phone has been hacked?

    Here is the link for the update for the Treo 680 unlocked using a memory card to install. The link of update synchronization does not work right now.

    http://KB.Palm.com/wps/portal/KB/na/Treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10837_en.html

    This is the page you got the download from?

    I see that there is no serial number in your screen shot, which is not normal.

    You can try a hard reset to fix the problem. The hard reset will erase all data on the device. Make sure that synchronize you with PC to back up your data.

    Click on the following link for the Web page of kb.palm.com for the article about reset procedures

    http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=887

    When you update the ROM, you cannot revert to a previous version. That ususlly results in a 'brick' phone

  • Life after the Treo 680 - Ive had enough of Palm

    Ive had enough of Palm Im afraid.

    I started life with a Palm V and Vx then the Zire.

    Because my Palm Desktop so critical has information about my clients, I bought a Treo 680.

    Now, its keyboard is not working, I can't even turn on the guy - I have to reinsert the battery to get the screen to light.

    The touch screen still works, but it's useless cause, you can't do anything - like making a telephone call.

    Ive had to put the SIM in an old I - mate Jasjam - hate this phone and of course no information contact to my fingers.

    I bought the Treo 680 cause it sync has all my Palm Desktop but after only 6 months his stuffed animal.

    Where should I go now?

    Can I export all my contacts from Palm Desktop to Outlook?  I cringe at the idea of using the Windows Mobile operating system.

    Open to suggestions... Thank you from down under.

    Download and run the program called "Hard Reset" on this page:

  • Treo 680 headphones causes hotsync loop

    I have a Palm Treo 680 unlocked working well until a few days ago. While listening to music with pctunes and attached headphones, pctunes locked up and hot sync began in a loop.

    I searched the forum and tried the following to resolve the problem:

    1 soft reset, too many times to count!

    2 clean the contacts for the hotsync cable, with compressed air, then friction alcholol and q-tips.

    3. hard reset a few times first sync after resetting and finally do not sync.

    All to nothing does not. Then I discovered that if I replace the headset it starts randomly hotsync loop. This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the socket for headphones rather than contacts hotsync. I can't find anything on this in the forum. Here's what happens:

    If I insert and remove the helmet a couple of times, start hotsync. Of course, it cannot synchronize because it is not connected to the computer. Sometimes, after that, it will allow normal operation of the buttons, but most of the time, it freezes the screen on the hotsync with no way to get to any other functions of the phone. Because of this problem with the headphone jack, I think I'm dealing with a hardware problem and not software, but I could be wrong.

    With the current hard reset I didn't do a resync with my computer, it should be all the factory without software component programs snap-in settings. I currently don't have the AT & T sim card in because the phone is unusable in this condition. I am using an old Blackberry that I hate!

    I will be grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer.

    There may be a problem with the microphone in the earpiece. Click on the following link for article Palm on this issue.

    http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=40427

    This usually causes the headset to fail, but it may help to solve your problem.

    I would say to remove the battery and wait at least 1 minute to lower the power of the Treo. Take some alcohol to friction and cushion the plug on the headphones. Connect the headset and turn it several times and also delete and re - insert the plug several times.

    If this does not resolve the problem, the Treo will need to be repaired.
