Palm m505 hard reset with no hotsync...

Title says it all, but is the data lost forever or is there some way to get it back?
I'm not too concerned with saving the device, so if tearing out every memory chip is part of the solution, so be it.
If there is ANY way to undo this, I'd LOVE to hear it.
I can provide exact details of how this tragedy transpired if necessary, but the end result is explained above.
Also, I will be e$pecially grateful to anyone who can point me towards a recovery solution.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know I should have sync'd the data, but circumstances/events being what they were/are prevented it.

Sadly if the data only existed on the device and it hard reset then it's gone.

Hello raydio, download the program called "Hard Reset" from here:
http://www.palmpowerups.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2
It's about halfway down the page. When installed, you just run the program and in 10 seconds it will do a Hard Reset!

My ipod shuffle (4th gen) don't works after hard reset with itunes, it don't reads too like USB by Windows.

I've read all tips on this site, but nothing helps me.

No, USB works good. I've tried reset on my friend's PC, and it saw my ipod and reset was done. But when i tried to load music, it wrote me, that i've installed incorrect software.

Japanese IBM Workpad C3 (Palm Vx) Hard Reset Issue

Hello, I've run into a problem while trying to change the language of a PDA I've recently acquired.
Most instructions state to do a hard reset (hold down power, press reset with pin, wait for screen with warning that data will be erased).
However, when I follow those instructions, the screen goes to the Palm loading screen and then takes me to the "system menu".
It's a Japanese Wordpad C3, which should be identical to the Palm Vx in Hardware... but it's not. Does anyone know the instructions I have to follow for this type of PDA?
Here's a picture of the screen that I get when I attempt a hard reset. It has the options to change the time and date and so on. In the menu in the top left, I can select the top choice to go into calibration.
I hope someone can help me out with this, as I'm hoping the hard reset lets me change the system language to English.
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!

Ok try this sequence:
1. Press and hold the power button down.
2. While holding the power button down, press and release the reset button.
3. When you see the Palm Computing Platform logo on the screen, release the power button.
Erase all data should pop up here
4. Press the up button for yes.
That should do it. Yes you need to hard reset to change the language but since your device is in Chineese, good change that maybe the only language it has since using a different alphabet.

Palm TX hard reset fails

I made the mistake of upgrading to the new Desktop V6.2. Seemed to be OK on my work PC, but, but when I tried to hot-sync at home, I got into a constant reboot loop. I have tried a hard reset several times with no effect: the Palm cycles between orange splash screen -> grey splash screen -> repeat.
OS=Windows XP Pro on both machines.
HELP!
Thanks!!

Glad it seems to have resolved.
Your single-best insurance against a loss of data resulting from a spontaneous hard reset, or even accidental deletion, is to use a SD card-based backup application. The best one out there happens to also be free. It's called NVBackup and is discussed frequently here on the forums.
Get yourself an inexpensive SD card if you don't already have one...any plain SD card up to 2 GB in size (not SDHC). Download and install NVBackup from any respectable site (I think www.palmgear.com also has it). When you run it the first time, it will also install a copy of itself onto your card. From then on, you can do a manual backup whenever you want, and also set it to do an automatic backup overnight, say 3 am. Even set it to retain certain number of backup cycles you designate (I have mine set to 3).
A backup takes a couple of minutes, depending on what's on your TX.
If you ever have to restore your data from a spontaneous hard reset or an accidental deletion of something important, you are literally minutes away from completely restoring your TX to any previous Backup point that's on your card.

Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on. I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change. Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again. Same action over and over.
I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete. Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
Device is frozen in this display loop. Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
* power off your phone.
* Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes. You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
*Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

Cant log in to my wrt150N router after hard reset with default login

Hello all,
I have a router that I upgraded the firmware a while ago, I stopped using it several months ago, I was going to give this router to my sister, i tried a hard reset(30 seconds press reset, unplug, hold hold the reset, wait 20 sec, plug power, hold for 30 sec and release the reset) and I tried to login with admin admin and it doesn't accept it. I tried with another router dlink 614i and the same problem, after resetting it it's not accepting admin admin log/pass. It can't be that two different routers are having the same problem, can it be my laptop? Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
I've tried admin/ admin , login admin no pass, no login and pass admin no luck.

Hi,
A 30/20/30 reset is useless and risky.
To clear NVRAM it's sufficient to push the button once during 30s, and wait the router restarts itself (some of them reboots twice)...

When my computer and monitor go to sleep, the system locks up and I have to do an hard reset with the power button. help?

when my imac and display go to sleep, the computer locks up and will not restart without a hard restart with the power button. help?

Hello, what all especially USBwise do you have connected to it?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.

Palm TX Resets when pushing Hotsync

I'm posting this for my father. He has a Palm TX syncing with Windows Vista. When he tries to hotsync via USB the Palm device does a soft reset and thats it. I tried syncing it over the wireless network and when I push hotsync on the device it does the same thing. I looked on the hotsync FAQ and they did not address this issue. It seems like this must be an issue with the device and not windows. Any help would be appreciated.

A hard reset wipes everything off your palm. Make sure all your info is backed up before following these instructons because you will not be able to get it back. You might want to double check on your computer to make sure all your info is there before doing a hard reset.
It is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (your stylus, paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.
Now, are you able to sync your palm?
When you begin sync'ing, the computer will prompt you, "there is no user name associated with this account..." select your old user name and then all the info will come back onto your palm.
Let me know what happens...

Palm M505

I bought this unit a few years back used. I used it for a little bit then put it away. I just dug it back out wanting to use it and now I can't get past set up. When I tap on screen with stylus nothing happens. Battery is fully charged, I did a soft reset and then a hard reset with no results. Can any one help with this problem? And can a stylus go bad? Thank You.

Hello Don and welcome to the Palm forums.
If the Palm is not registering taps on the screen, the digitizer, not the stylus, has probably gone bad. If a hard reset did not work, you will need to either have the m505 repaired or replace it.

T2 Digitizer frozen after soft,warm,hard resets.Can not get it to calibrate at all.

My T2 occasionally has to be recalibrated. I downloaed DigiFix some months ago and it seemed to help a bit. I hot synced my data last night and all was well. This morning I could not tap my screen to access anything. I tried cleaning carefully around the screen edge, gently cleaned the screen ( no visible damage to the screen noted ), performed a soft reset ( which usually worked ), a warm reset, followed by a soft reset and finally a hard reset ( kept data ) followed by a soft reset and then the big one, a hard reset with loss of data followed with 5 soft resets in a row. I found through the forum a T2 update which I downloaded and is ready to be installed when I next hot sync.
The unit is now frozen with the x in the starting position in the top left corner. Despite my efforts to gently tap all around the X, I can not get it to recalibrate or even get off the calibration screen. If I could just get back to any regular screen, I could get my data back and install this T2 update.
I also downloaded Pocket DVD studio a week ago and have been able to upload .avi files for viewing videos on my Palm. I works beautifully. I think I still have the original Kimoma player on my T2, but never really like it. Can anyone PLEASE help me out? This T2 update is supposed to help according to the infor I found in forum....MANY THANKS!

Thank you for the fina advice. It worked and my T2 is now working perfectly. I think the real trick is using cheap copier paper, not the higher grade stuff or a business card for the cleaning routine. I floded the paper lengthwiase and put a sharp crease in before cutting into little work strips. It took a lot of patience and time to perform a proper cleaning, but it was worth it. Seems that the smallest bit of anything which get trapped under the bezel will throw the T2 into a stupor. Many thanks your your fine advice.....Rgds,John Brown

Palm tx only works with charger plugged in

My palm tx only works when plugged into ac charger. Symptoms began after I left device unused for about 2 weeks. When plugged in I get the battery charging symbol. The battery icon says 100%. As soon as I unplug charger, the device dies. I have left plugged in for 2.5 hrs and still won't work when I unplug. I have tried hard reset with no improvement.
Do I need new battery?
thanks

One last ditch effort - plug in to the charger, and press the Reset button. Let the TX go through a soft reset and let it charge for a few hours.
If still no joy, then yes it sounds like your battery has reached the end of its useful life.
Many places online will repair it for you, or let you purchase a battery and DIY. Check out directfix.com for a repair video on the TX.

Palm m505 to MacBook OS X

Hey all, have a new Mac Book, and loving it. However, trying to get an older model PDA (Palm m505) to sync with it. Having trouble. Computer isn't even recognizing that the docking staion is plugged in. Any help would be welcome. Thanks.
Travis

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you attempting to synchronize your m505 handheld organizer using the Palm Desktop, using iSync or using the Missing Sync for Palm OS?
Troubleshooting your configuration requires an understanding of your basic configuration.
It is doubtful that your MacBook fails to recognize the presence of the USB docking station. It does not show up in the System Profiler unless it is actively communicating with your computer, and it cannot do that if your device has not been added successfully using the HotSync Manager, iSync or the Missing Sync. So, put that aside for the time being, describe your configuration, what and how you have installed your synchronization software, and exactly what error message or messages you receive when you attempt to add or configure your device, configure a conduit, or when you initiate a synchronization event using the HotSync button on your cable or cradle.

C6-00 hard reset...

My C6-00 has a lot of apps installed and has become quite slow. Occassionally, I get the 'memory full' error while browsing the net. So, I want to make my phone as good as new by keying in *#7370#. Before resetting, I want to know about the following.
1. Will I lose the pre-installed apps (Bejeweled Twist, Ovi Maps, Bloomberg, Facebook etc.) on the device if I do a hard reset with the *#7370# code?
2. I have the latest phone software installed now. Does a hard reset install the older version of the phone software, requiring me to update the software once again?

1.Though not sure about Bejeweled Twist even if the latest version of the other applications that you have mention gets un-installed..you can surely get them back by re-installing.
Facebook , Nokia Maps , Bloomberg
2. As for the Firmware version..NO ..It will NOT revert to the earlier version ...

Hard Reset on WRT54GL 1.1

Hello, everyone.
I got a bad flash on my WRT54GL wireless router and now the unit will not reset. The power light is blinking continually. I tried using the reset button for 30 seconds, tried a hard reset with the power plug out, but no success and thus, I cannot get to the web-based management console. Any suggestions?

Hi Moto,
if you have a Rev.1, try to avoid this option. There alredy several other posts on the same subject.
The Rev.1 B&W G3, also named "Heartbreaker", does not quite like hard drives in a Master/Slave configuration.
If your HD IDE channel on the motherboard is not used, try that, otherwise, go ahead with the PCI card option as that is possible the best thing you could do.
cheers
