HTC Mteor hangs at a screen with inscription "Windows mobile" and doesn't boot. So I can't use utility for hard reset.
You can try pressing the 2 soft-keys at the same time as you press (and hold) the power key. That will bring you to a screen asking if you want to restore or quit.
I hope it works for you!
I'd guess you would have to try reflashing the rom.
It helped me without reflashing. Does this combination of buttons work at HTC S310? I've the same problem with this device as I had with my Mteor. I've installed software there which was not designed for these smartphones.
Is that the same 2 keys to get to the bootloader?
No, electronic punk.
For the bootloader, you press the camera button and the power button at the same time.
I am saying press the left + right softkeys (the ones just under the screen, with the joystick in the middle) and the power button at the same time.

its works thanks !
you have to
- switch off device
- push L+R softkeys and keep pushed while next step
- then turn on (short push power is ok - like you are used to do it), keep L+R pushed
It works for every device I had so far (see signature) that has keys.
Mind that Hardreset deletes all data on the device!

I have tried for weeks now to get my imate pda2k into bootloader mode but it will not. Just goes to the stripes and the to wm5. any Ideas?
Yes I do know what to push to get it there but no joy
silly question but when you presso the power button + camera and then you press the soft reset button with the stylus, do you keep pressing wth the stylus for a moment?
i have to wait some 3 seconds before i go into bootloader mode
no bootloader mode
Yes tried that, and all other combinations that I can think of. It just goes to the Stripe color screen then shows at the bottom the rom, radio, etc then the WM5 screen.
Test camera button
Yous hould hold the three buttons for a while, but if you have problem with one of them it is not possible to do hard reset
I think you shold hard reset your BA first before you next try
good luck
tried all of above
Yes tried all of your suggestions, I guess must be a button problem (power button I think) Altho its the same as when I get it to upgrade to WM5. But now, You know when you press power rs and camera/record? and the the envelope key to get the no yes yes screen? as soon as I take my fingers off the keys, its gone, doesnt stay there like b4 till options are changed. They r all set to default of no. How do u check to see if the bootloader software is on the pda?
Press record (button above slider) + power button + SR at bottom.
Then you are in bootloader.

You can actually test without guessing if the power button is working: press & does the device turn on/off? Try (not guess) the other buttons as well.
Without being rude, do a sanity check. disregard all your assumptions that you are doing things right & follow the procedure as below (taken from the Wiki pages):
-------------------------------------
Put your device into bootloader mode:
* Press Power + record (above the volume slider) + softreset at the same time. You should see a white screen with "Serial" text on it and the Bootloader version.
-------------------------------------
Hardreset based on Screen Information
* Press Power + Softreset, and when the colored stripes shows on the screen.
If you have a PH20B device such as MDAIII, QTEK 9090, XDAIIs, PDA2K etc.
* Quickly press Record+Camera before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Camera+Record at the same time.
If you have a PH20B1 device such as SX66
Quickly press Record+Windows Media before the versions appears at bottom right or,
* press Power+Softreset+Windows Media Player button+Record at the same time.
Either way mentioned above should work.
You'll see three options; change the second and the third to "yes".
Cheers!

Power button isnt working but strange that I was able to get it into bootloader mode to Upgrade to WM5 then after it does work (power button)
Hi guyz,
big problem with my Wings...
I've tried to install SPB Traveller, discovering that doesn't work (was the version for pda).
Then i've disinstalled it and, immediately after, i have no more possibility to press buttons. Only once.
To be more precise...
Switch off the phone removing battery, switch it on again, enetr the pin correctly and, after WM6 screenshot, i'm able to press buttons only once. Not depending from the button...i can pres Start or Contacts, doesn't matter.
After pressing once there's no evidence to have any other button depressed.
I would like to hard reset the phone but, hao can i do if i cannot press any button??
Which is right procedure for hard reset the S730??
There is some shortcut in way not to enter into WM6??
Thanks a lot.
With the phone off, press both softkeys (the ones right under the screen) and then press the power button to turn it on. After a second or so (basically when it starts booting up) release only the power button, but keep the other two pressed.
After a moment you should see a screen asking you if you want to hard reset (you may release the buttons now), press the Send buttont (the green one) and it'll do it.
Soft keys should be "Start" and "Contacts"...i suppose.
I tried many times, releasing Power button keeping softkeys still pressed, immediately after Smart Mobility screenshot....after displaying of radio version, rom version, etc etc.....but it doesn't work.
I think i'm wrong in some passage. Sure that this process works on S730??
Could you be more clear about it, please?
Which boot i have to take care of? Initial settings (radio, rom, etc etc) or Windows Mobile?
Many thanks.
Yep, those are the buttons. And this procedure does work on the S730, as I had to use it once to restore my phone.
The only advise that comes to my mind is to keep the power button pressed a little bit longer than usual, I believe that's what I did.
i have tried power+volume down+ action key (middle button)and softest still no joy
Start - programs - Clear Storage - 1234
its hang after soft reset, do not let me do any thing with it

keep pressing for 10 seconds?
I have read "hold down the Volume Down and Enter (round navigation) keys and press soft reset while they are pressed" but it seems not working on mine.
Let me know (nothing about the power button)
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
follow the instruktions try using google and every search mean...
That should do the trick and if it does not either www.youfail.org or the phone is broken in some way.

Actually, it's Start - settings - clear storage - 1234
Just clearing that up for those that can't find it under programs.
how if press power (hold) and press reset with ur sylus .. ?!
I had to hard reset my Diamond a few days ago.
Press and hold volume down and the action key,
press and hold for a few seconds soft reset button with the stylus (while still holding volume down and action),
release soft reset button but keep the others pressed until the message appears on the screen.
Once the message appears you either press volume up to hard reset and leave internal storage intact or volume down to hard reset and clear internal storage.
If you get the timing wrong the phone will just soft reset and you will need to try again. It took me about six goes to get it right.
i dont understand the hard reset. why would i want to do this!?!

There are many reasons:
1. Youve installed a new ROM and just restored via Sprite backup, only to find that its corrupt
2. Your having problems with your phone hanging / crashing and a soft reset wont work
3. Seems to solve alot of problems (from what ive read on this forum)
4. I dont do it very often, but I did have the issue I listed at the top so it was very handy to not have to reflash the ROM again just because of a software problem
Hope this helps!

you and some of yr friends here didn't even bother to read the manual...where does it write that you use power button?????
the first place to look for an answer must be yr user manual.
if you still have problems use the search button and you'll find lots of info about this trivial subject.
just to prove my point i did a search for you.
hope that next time you'll think twice before you stat a thread.

just to add to all this i tried everything that you all said (press volume down button + actions button + reset) but it only worked for me when i had the phone off and pressed and held down(power button + volume down button+ action button {middle button} + reset) just incase someone else has probems with it not workin.......try that.
hard...but twhen you have it sussed...its easy
must be if i can do it
I found out that if you push a direction while trying to press the enter button it doesn t work.... took me a while to figure out what i was doing wrong althought it doesn t seem so hard

I did some testing on my Diamond, and despite the documentation, this worked to hard-reset my phone; however, the POWER button must be pushed down LAST. Otherwise you'll simply turn the phone on.
This is the order:
Code:
volume down button + action button {middle button} + power button + reset
Once you have all buttons pressed, hit the reset button with your stylus and in seconds the hard-reset screen will display.
Have done this several times to confirm (CDMA).
Cheers.
TRied all but finally got it...
power button not needed to actually do the H.Reset, actually you need to press power to make device go in stanby & then press vol down + middle button & then press the reset & leave it... keep holding vol down & middle till the message appears...

hi, please! need help... after I've flash the
Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 on my G3 device the rom is very slowly and my PC doesn't recognized my wizard when it connected with the USB cable.
any solution how can I change this rom?
many thanks
i can go to the tri-color bootloader mode, is it say somthing?
mine did that yesterday....maybe try a hard reset:
Hold down the Comm Manager button(top left) and Voice Command button(top right) buttons while performing a soft-reset (depress the reset button using the stylus); after you depress the soft-reset button, [contintue to hold the two side buttons] hold down the navigation pad for ~4 seconds until you are prompted on screen [you can release the side buttons now]. Press the Send (Talk) button (i.e. the left telephony button) - or whichever button your system prompts you for.
That's what I did and it worked for me =)
thanks but it doesn't work, the main problem is that after the hard reset the rom is very very slowly (like 7-8 seconds from the moment you tap the "start" till the start menu come)
the PC doesn't recognized my wizard so i can't change to another rom....
I can get into the tri-color mode, does it say that maybe it's not bricked?
Hi,
Diamond is not going to bootloader (tricolour) screen after MTTY. MTTY was successful but nothing happening after pressing volumedown+center button.
Now device is just showing - Touch diamond when i switch on.
I have diamimg.nbu on internal storage, is there any way to trigger install.
It was working fine before mtty.
Pull battery out to turn it off.
Put it back in.
Press and hold volume down
Press reset button.
The reason its only showing Touch Diamond is that the MTTY process has cleared off your previous OS. You need to get it back to bootloader and try MTTY again.
I have tried all those stuff but no luck, for every thing diamond just vibrates and shows "Touch Diamond".
I guess boot loader is not working, is there any way to connect to it and repair bootloader.
I have tried snoopy from some post but thats also of now help.
Taken from PPCGeeks:
"Hold down the Volume down key and power button, the take the tip of your stylus and press the soft reset button (bottom left corner of phone under battery cover). After you press reset button keep the Volume down and power button press until the bootloader screen comes up"
Let us know if this works.
Thanks Super....
This is not working, only option i see is some way to connect to it through USB because i had faced this problem earlier also but that time RRU updater used to push it to bootloader.
volume down button used to work only with original HTC ROM for me....only a few time it used to work with cooked ROMs....
Hi,
Anyone can suggest some advance tool which can connect to diamond if its not going to bootloader through normal methods.
Its all clear by MTTY, i have ROM image on internal storage.
Solved finally.......
Hold only volume button pressed, press reset button and immediately after that press ok or back button
