I just uploaded SafeMode 3.1 on the server. You can update version 3.0 with the new one (registration is preserved). This version adds support for newer devices, such as HTC Touch HD, Touch Pro etc.

Check out the product page for download and purchase links.

IMPORTANT: Please note the new version is uploaded only on monocube.com. MobiHand, PocketGear, Handango will follow soon.

I was finally able to make 3.1 work on the newer devices - Touch HD, Touch Pro, etc. - many thanks to the beta testers.
I will release the new version tomorrow.

Just to let you know, SafeMode 3.1 is well on its track - it should be compatible with the devices not currently supported. Also, there are a number of new features included, such as a light backup function (as well as some SafeMode 2.1 features that are being re-designed, such as the orphan registry/shortcuts entries and startup options).

The beta is not yet ready for testing, but I will send it to the current beta testers group as soon as I have some time to finish it.

Stay tuned for more progress reports

It seems SafeMode 3 doesn't work as it should on Samsung i900 Omnia and HTC Touch HD. The boot menu doesn't appear on the first one, and you can't choose a menu option on the other one, since it doesn't have a navigation pad.

I will fix these problems in the next version, 3.1, which will also add a number of new features. Of course, it's a free upgrade for registered users. ;)

I would like to know if SafeMode 3 works on your device model and Windows Mobile version. Please send me a short message via our contact form with your device model and Windows Mobile version, and an answer to the following questions:

1. Does the SafeMode boot logo appear at startup?

2. If you press any hardware key OR tap SafeMode icon on top, do the boot options appear?

3. Can you select between the boot options with the navigation pad (up/down) - please let me know if your device has one as well (it seems the HTC Touch HD doesn't have one. I see it as a poor design decision for Windows Mobile, for now. I think it will break functionality for many applications, which are easier to operate using the D-Pad).

4. Can you select the boot options with the stylus? (Tap on one to test - it should be highlighted)

6. If you double-tap (like double-click on Windows PC) with the stylus on the selected boot option, does your device start?

This info will help me work on the issues for SafeMode 3.1, and I will make a list of compatible devices. Thank you.

Today I managed to get some work done and release the official SafeMode 3. I would like to thank the active beta testers for their effort and time spent. As you will see, I added PayPal as a purchasing option - and I kindly ask you to use this one if you would like to buy a license. I also added Mobihand, Handango for those of you who prefer them. PocketGear and Plimus product pages are still being updated. They will be added to the list tomorrow.

Advice:
Please download the trial version first, and check if it works properly on your device model. There is a chance it won't. I did my best to ensure compatibility with WM5 / WM 6.x devices, however not all devices are the same, in terms of manufacturer configuration (in fact, I think there are no 2 devices alike). I tested SafeMode 3 on HTC TyTN (WM5 and WM6), old xda2 with WM5 and WM6, and an old xda2s with WM5 / WM6. I've also tested it on all available Windows Mobile emulators (WM 5, WM 6, WM 6.1 and WM 6.1.4).

As you can see, I'm working on a new version of the website. It may take a few days until I put together all the bits and pieces, so please have a bit of patience.

Now, to give you the good news, SafeMode 3 - yes, 3 - is finished. I will send it to the beta-testers tomorrow. The release date is yet undetermined, but it shouldn't take longer than 3-4 days.
