Help Can't access HTC Sense after Launcher Pro failed

[Evo Lotion]

Hello, When I first got my Evo I installed Launcher Pro. Used it for a while then reverted back to the default HTC sense scheme.

Tonight I decided to check out LP again and switched it. However it came up with a message that the version was out of date and automatically opened the browser. It takes me to their site but I can't do anything else!

Now I'm unable to access anything and can't revert back to the HTC sense scheme or even access my settings.

If I hit Home, the browser pops up and brings me to their site. I can't do anything else.

Help!

Can you browse to different web pages or is it completely stuck?

I can post a newer version of LP here to try to get you out of it but you'd still have to be able to get to your apps to install it...

Have you pulled the battery and rebooted to see what launcher it picks on startup?

There were a whole bunch of threads about this on the launcherpro forum (and a few here) when this happened a few weeks ago. This seems to be the easiest fix for those that have it installed normally:

LauncherPro Forum • View topic - Why i cant get into Launcherpro.com site?

Also, if you have adb set up, can uninstall it that way.

How about menu - settings - applications - manage applications - running, find launcher pro and clear defaults. Now hit home and should be able to go back to sense.

My wife accidently did a factory reset to her HTC Hero and now the settings are all messed up. I cannot connect to Internet or even to wifi. The phone doesnot allow me to access the menu. It only pops up stating that Launcher pro has failed and you need to update. I cannot update unless i have a internet connection. i tried everything right from HTC Sync, connecting phone via USB etc. Please guys help me to get the phone restarted. There is no internet connection as i believe that the internet connection settings are disabled internally. Any suggestions please.

I tried doing it but it still gives me the same thing launcher pro update failed as there is no data connection. Please if you have any solution that would be of great help

so are you going into the bootloader and selecting clear storage, correct? what is your baseband? it should say on the bootloader screen.

NO i am not directed to the boot loader. Ok how do i factory reset the phone without going into menu>settings>. is it possible that the phone can be factory rested from outside like by pressing some keys or some other trick.

yes, you can power off (make sure fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot) or pull the battery out. then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader. from there select clear storage. this will also do a factory reset.
