Cannot enter bootloader (reset button does not work ??)

Hello, I've a very strange issue, but it seems that my reset button (that one pressed with stylus) does not work and because of that I cannot enter bootloader.
In the past I've flashed my ROM many times, so for sure It worked for me before.
Any ideas?

Turn the phone off, hold down the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, press the POWER BUTTON.

what about hard reset
Ok, it helps and bootloader loads. What about hard reset?
Last time I did it like that:
"1. press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
2. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen...."
but now I does not work, probably because of the reset button

Try using the same method, turn off the phone hold down the required buttons and press the power button.

How do I hard reset locked phone?

Hi,
I just purchased screen locked phone (requires password to unlock). I thought hard reset will fix it but it does not do anything.
I hope volume UP and volume DOWN buttons simultaneosuly while phone if off then press Power button and release it while continuing holding VolUP and VolDown but nothing happens - phone stays on locked screen. Does this procedure works on locked phones?

Mmmm...
Make sure you're holding the buttons in firmly while you briefly press the power button. It doesn't matter that the device is password protected, all the data will be cleared and set to default ROM settings.
If the device just switches on, it means that one or both of the volume buttons weren't completely pressed when you hit the power button

I tried like 10 times already. I hold both buttons very tight but after pressing power, it just comes back to unlock screen.

hold volume button down and press power button. if you can do this just flash a new rom from the sd card.

This does not do anything either. I hold vol down button while phone is off and press briefly power while still holding button and nothing happens. It comes to load screen.

Hard reset
Be sure first that device (not the screen) is turned off, then:

Thanks,
I figured this out. I was so stupud, I understood phone is off is like screen is Off. It actually meant the whole phone is off instead (had to remove battery for that).

The First thing you need to do: Power-OFF your device.
since it's locked, software interaction may not possible. you need to take the battery out, and put it back in 2-3 seconds later
Then, hold VOLUP and VOLDOWN tightly, and hit the power button to start the hard reset procedure.

Cannot Clear Storage

Can't clear storage. The button is "greyed out." Any suggestions ??

Sorry .. Found an answer to my question .. It worked. This is what I did.
Hard resetting the Nexus One with the Hard button factory data reset. (volume down and power button) The device must be powered OFF to perform this reset. If the device is on, turn it off. (If the device is not responsive and does not turn off, remove the battery and re-insert it.)
While holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up.

This has happened to me once and I recall someone else on the forum also had that issue. Just turn off the phone by holding the power and volume up together. The power button should work as normal after that.

Seems a software bug. Happens to me sometimes too.
Sent from my gorgeous White Xperia Z

happened to me once, volume up and power combination worked and turned the device off than never had this problem again.

Go back to sony and change a new one dude :laugh:

Try this:

- When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume down button.

Have you unlocked the bootloader? That will factory reset your phone in the process
