sorry to be thick
anyone know how to
1.soft reset
2.hard reset
3.enter bootloader mode
4.exit bootloader mode
been scouring this forum. doesnt seem to be posted.
tia ..john..
Dont know about 3 & 4 but 1 & 2 are easy
1. Soft Reset
Poke the stylus into the little hole in the bottom left of the unit. Holding no other buttons. Another way is to remove the batter cover and flip the red switch back and then forth.
2. Hard reset
Poke the styles like above but hold the power button whilst poking.
ok. thanks for that
anyone know why mine only resets when the power button is pressed and the red battery thingy is opened then closed.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before... a quick search turned up nothing useful - but then I only got this device about a week ago and don't really know what to look for.
I pressed the Soft Reset button with the USB cable attached and the phone seems to have gone into some weird mode and now nothing I do will make it boot.
I'm stuck on a screen with 4 sections, Red, Green, Blue, and White.
The text
KAIS130
SSPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
is displayed on the red section, and the letters USB on the white.
I have tried soft reset (always comes back to same screen), hard rest (does nothing), taking the battery out and putting it back. All with and without the cable attached.
Is there anything I can to do restore my device or do I need to return it?
Many thanks for any help.
You may in Bootloader mode. You may have to force a hard reset. I think if you hold the camera button and power button while turning on it should bring it up, but I am not sure on the Kaiser. I am sure someone will post up the exact procedure. I hope everything turns out OK for you.

Thanks for the reply... I got the impression that might be the case from a google hit as well. Grrr. I was just trying to cure a 'not syncing' issue.
Alas I can't find anything to make a Hard Reset do anything - I've tried every combo of buttons I can think of, including the one in the manual and the one you just suggested... no dice
Oh well, I guess I have a very expensive paper weight
Press and hold the two action buttons (the - in between red and green buttons) and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
press and hold the two soft key buttons and press reset with the stylus.
keep them pressed for a bit, then release only the reset button
after releasing the reset button hit send ( the green key ) it should show on the screen if you have done it correctly to push the send button to complete the hard reset, if not repeat the process again
if that doesnt work you can always reflash the rom using the original Kaiser rom RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
its here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331900&highlight=official+kaiser+rom
since its already in the bootloader mode it will be able to be flashed if it wont hard reset
Hmm, nope the Soft+Soft+Reset doesn't do anything other than the normal reset
I think before I try the ROM flash I'd better contact HTC and make sure I'm not voiding my warranty.
It's a shame I'm going to loose the days work
thanks for the help folks.
Hi,
I've read the hardreset thread but I can't seem to get the screen up by holding volume down and enter key and then pressing reset switch.
If I did the "clear storage" way is this the same as a hard reset? doing the buttons is too hard maybe someone can show me how to do it easily with just 2 hands
Thanks

You don't QUITE have to do them at the same time, if you're quick! To hard reset:
1. Take the back off your phone.
2. Push the red reset button with your stylus.
3. Drop the stylus onto the table, flip your phone over and QUICKLY (within 1-2 seconds) hold down the volume down and Enter keys.
4. Keep them held down until the screen appears, giving you the various hard reset options.
Had Same problem with my brand new phone. The reason it was not working was that I still had the plastic shipping protector over the buttons. It was not registering that the Enter button was being pressed. Moved the protector and it worked straight away.
oh really? I have the protector on still, don't really want to take it off to keep it "new" and avoid scratches. I'm sure I've pushed in the enter button too I've tried using 2 hands, 1 for vol down and 1 for button and I stuck the stylus on the ground and pressed reset with it but doesn't work. Guess it's the protective cover..... hmm I wonder if I should try. do you think the "clear memory" thing is the same as a hard reset?
hi,
my mda compact IV does not restart, it stuck on the green screen, nothing is possible
i've tried to hard reset it with volume down+center button + reset, but nothing happens,
is it possible that i broke my reset button; this because i've put an needle in the reset button, the needle went a little bit deeper, but nothing happens,
is there an other way to reset or start up the diamond ???
thanks already,
But only reset work ??
The reset button is in very bad position and is difficult press it
how to press
hi,
shall i press the reset button (on the bottom) with the stylus or with a needle,
or how long must i press it ?
thanks already,
I upload to you this guide for hard and soft reset in pdf file:
http://www.speedyshare.com/918458770.html
If your reset button is dead, you can try to do it like a smartphone.
Battery out
battery in
hold volume down and centre button
press power button for half a second and release it.
keep the rest pressed.
it should go to the hard reset procedure as if you'd used the soft reset button.
Have to say the hard reset for this phone is akward and cumbersome to say the least.

why? don't you have three hands?
something i learned from experience: try and hard reset without the back cover.
much easier to get to the "G spot" (that's how i call it)
to soft/hard reset i am using now software. somewhere in the forum there is a cab with a little app that gives you all the options: soft, hard reset, screen off and pda off.
i found it more and more already included in the new ROMs. so much more easier....
you can see it in swiftbl ROM thread:
hi all, my first ever post in this forum. first of all many thanks for being here.
I was reading too many threads about the diamond. mainly about hard reset problems and new roms. my problem is that I couldn't perform hard reset. searched over the forum, tried what others did, just no result, what I am getting is only soft reset.
the method is:
use reset button while holding volume down & enter buttons , release the reset and keep holding others until the information window appears on the screen... somebody says power button also needed to be hold. somebody suggest holding the enter button very carrefully as it is very easy to activate direction buttons. somebody says rom is need to be updated as existing rom can be corrupted.
I tried all of above, I did update the rom several times and checked if hard reset is working, no result.
my tricolor screen says :
DIAM100 MGF 64M
SPL-1.24.Hard
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
I've 1.37.405.1 and radio rom 1.00.25.03 now, I know they are older versions but I tried 1.96. series too but did not throw in another hspl.
is it worth to try flashing with newer hard-spl such as 1.93 and compatible roms. any suggestion is very appreciated. I just wory about it coz read in many threads it is good to perform a hard reset after a new rom.
ps:assuming if it is cannot be changed, any software to perform hard reset? sow somewhere video of it, any help?
thanks for reading
Read this.

thanks for post but link doesn't work. I assume there is just explaination of normal hard reset method which I tried several times already.
Hi
cant open the above link to confirm if the same as what method i use, press and hold volume down and enter and the reset and release all upon tri colour
i must remove the SIM to get a hardreset.
with inseted SIM the procedure not works on my device (why ever? no idea!)
Just to further clarify:
If you have the CDMA version (like I), you must hold down power button + volume down + enter button at same time. Press the reset button with your third hand and continue holding the buttons until a screen prompts you for a reset. Volume up button will confirm the hard reset.
That's what I had to do and I would love to meet the engineer behind that crazy combination... I had to prop the stylus in a 3 ring binder while holding the three buttons so i could jab the back of the phone into the stylus while my other two hands were preoccupied with this stupid combo.
Arg. Hope this helps

this is not the hard reset. I got the tricolor screen by holding volume down + reset button. for hard reset there must be a window asking your approval if you are confirming hard reset, than pressing volume up is performing it.
while holding volume down + enter and resetting is resulting soft reset only. I tried many times as if I am mistakenly pressing other buttons but not... any help?
edit:with sim or without it didn't make any difference. however, I tried the last method whitesoxxx suggest but didn't hold the reset as I hold the others, will give result in a minute. by the way my device is from orange, is it CDMA (sorry if it sound soo stupid
result:nope, didn't make many difference, still soft reset. one more question: this reset confirmation window, how many second later it suppose to appear?
thanks
my last post might point you in right direction...

It is an incredibly stupid combo! I had to search xda-developers to figure it out the first time because i just didn't believe the user manual!
For me, it works easiest with the diamond face down on the edge of a desk and supported against a heavy object (shelving unit) so that the Vol Down & Enter combo can be done one handed. I then have a hand free to press reset, which is easy with the back cover off!
beleive me i have no any complain about how difficult to reach ald hold all those buttons at same time, I am quite use to it
I sent back the diamond today as hard reset problem was really annoying. I tought mine was defected somehow. will buy another, if next one does the same should I send it back again? is it really necessary to do hard reset after updating rom?
thanks

***I tried it,but the problem with YouTube didn't stop.
Very easy way to Hard reset the phone is by going to phone settings and select "Clear Storage" and enter 1234 click ok. (This is erase all the data and installed programs and will get the factory settings)
Does anyone know how to enter triple color screen in Blackstone?
I finally find the way to enter hard rest:
Hold 2 volumn keys at the same time press rest with your stylus, a menu will show up.
Hold volume down while turning on?
right, have you tried?
Yes I have. It worked. But them I had to take out the battery to start the phone again.
