How to Hardreset a WM5 BA device
Doing a hardreset is easy if you have 3 hands - you have to press camera, record, power and reset buttons simultaneously! Or what I have found also to work is softreset and then as soon as you see the Strips hold Camera and Record. If this worked then you will be a debugger screen (something about KITL), reset registry and format built-in storage. Navigation in menu is done with camera and record buttons, exit - "mail" button.
You will know if you have performed a hard reset if you are lead through the setup of your device section. All else is just a softreset.
How to Softreset a WM5 BA device

I get no such thing it does a normal soft reset, i press power and reset thing hole thing at the bottom, and yes i am sure it presses it coz i so feel it and it does normaly do a soft reset, but i cant achive a hard reset.
Here you go:
Do a normal soft reset - hold power and reset with stylus. The moment the screen flashes and before you see the loading screen of Windows (you must be fast - it takes 2-3 seconds and then you're late), press and hold the Camera and the recording button (the two buttons on the left side) until you see three lines with text and YES or NO next to them. I guess you were not very fast and that's why you were not getting the 3 lines with text. I just did that yesterday after my upgrade and it works fine.
When you get these, follow the rest of the instructions from the wiki.
TY......
I did the search, but not finding anything...Thanks for the help
Not sure what you want... but you can go to Start...Setings....System and choose CLEAR STORAGE and that will give you a hard reset as far as whiping data.

I hard reset a TILT that was locked up after installing Blackberry connect to SD card (known issue). Hold down the two soft keys, then use the stylus to press the reset button for a few seconds, then release while still holding in the soft reset buttons. The warning message comes on, and as said earlier, use the green send key to initiate the data wipe.

interestingly, it does not work on my TyTN II.
However, its working on the Trinity.
It worked on my Kaiser/Tytn ll. Thanks!!!
not for me :-(
Hi,
maybe me being stupid, but this procedure does not work for me. Problem is that I installed software for the iGo bluetooth keyboard (I know ...) and ever since the Kaiser is resetting itself every 30 seconds. So what I get is only the smart mobility message, a short vibrate and then back to start. Anyone any idea how to get out of that? May I just press the wrong softkeys?
many thanks in advance

new situation: the keys I press are definitely the right ones, I can also get into bootloader mode. I flashed the original rom (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship) back which finished successful but the situation is the same. When I hard reset I am told it has been done, being asked to press the green button and it reverts to the old problem immediately. I should say that I have not modded my device so far, it was in original state before I installed the above mentioned software. Could it be a coincidence and it is a hardware problem?
HELP!!!
I found hard-resetting my HTC TyTN "GB" somewhat unpredictable. Holding down both soft keys while depressing the reset buttone is the correct procedure. It's either related to the HTC_END.cab. Do you have this installed?
Cheers
Strange, can't perform a hard reset either, using the softkeys of my TyTn II. No matter how long I press and hold them, no message screen, no option to hard reset.
The only way is to use Clear Storage.

It's in the Kaiser Wiki, under 'Kaiser resets'.
this is what is says...
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel
1. what buttons are the soft keys..
2. i pressed the power and the camera buttons then the reset set pinhole button.. release the reset pinhole button after the keypads lights go off still nothing..
I've searched the forums, and can't find a report of anything similar...so this might be new...if it isn't, help locating a thread would be great.
- Downloaded Blackberry connect install cab
- Seems to install fine (log looked good before reboot)
- Press "ok" to reboot device, but upon reboot, the device screen is locked at the Windows Mobile screen
The unit seems to be operating fine... I can receive calls - the phone rings, the caller ID pops up, but it stays on top of the Windows Mobile boot screen...
The power button will not shut the unit off...only turns the locked screen on and off
Battery removal and reboot freezes at same spot.
I had deselected all the ActiveSync options including the 'connect via USB' option... and now can't view my device from my laptop...
I've had the TILT only a couple of days...I'm running the stock ATT Tilt ROM & software...added two themes (night palms and the planet reflection ones)... have a 6G microSD card with some songs, pictures, and a device backup...
Looking forward to your suggestions & solutions!!
I tried it on mine and it did the same. So I gave up and did the hard reset and started over without even attempting to install the bb connect.
after hard reset
thanks for the quick response...
the hard reset worked fine...
I repeated the bbconnect setup, this time installing to the device instead of to my card... everything worked fine.
How did you do a hard reset on it?
hard reset
a hard reset will wipe all your data and set it everything back to the default status...it isn't supposed to clear anything on your sd card ... i take mine out anyway.
to do a hard reset, hold both the soft buttons while pressing the reset button w/ the stylus (the reset button is on the bottom edge under the hard OK button )

One thing the instruction did not say rright was to hold the two soft keys and then press the reset then release and wait for the screen to give the instructions. Well the real way is to hold all 3 and wait and the process will be on its way.

this is just not working for me, how long are you pressing the stylus in? how long are you holding the buttons?
When I do it I get the AT&T logo screen (a short vibrate) then it continues to the windows mobile boot screen. I can never get the prompt to erase all data. I've tried the procedure a dozen times, no luck.
Make sure you are pressing the soft buttons and not the 'call' and 'end call' buttons as stated on some sites. Hold those and press stylus into reset until it turns off. Continue holding the buttons until the message comes up.
I've just had to do this for exactly the same reason!
I had the same problem on my Touch. After the hard reset I have found a solution: install application to device memory not on storage card. That helped me and now BB Connect is working fine.
Can anyone help me out, I am trying to hard reset my phone, but what am I doing wrong?
My phone is turned on
I press volume down botton and enter round botton.
there after i press reset
I keep pressing the other 2 bottons
Still nothing happens, the phone restarts, but no hard reset!!!
I have 1.37 rom with unasigned hard spl. But I do not have any usb cable here at my work.
Help help help
Are you pressing and releasing the reset button? You need to hold it down until the device boots.
I had the same problem as well...couldnt get it to hard reset so i went through the settings list and did it through there.
Click on start, go to settings, then click on clear storage..choose clear storage and format internal storage...enter 1234 and then click on ok...when it asks to confirm press yes and once done it will then clear everything and reset the phone back to the way it was when you first got it.

Should I press volume down botton and enter botton when the phone is in windows?
Keep all three pressed down dont release the reset button ... It will go through , well did for me as I noticed it did the same thing to me. I only released once the screen had changed to the options for format
Or why not do the hard reset as i described earlier?? lol..much easier and dont have to worry about pressing 3 buttons at the same time

If I could of, I would of! I am at my work and I have sensative stuff on the internal storage. To big to blue tooth them.

Ok well you do realise even with the way ive said to do it, you dont have to wipe your internal storage??..you have the options of clear storage only...format internal storage or clear storage and format internal storage.
If your going to do a hard reset with the way your trying to do it...you will lose all your info on your internal storage...so it doesnt make any difference does it??. Your still going to lose all your sensitive info doing it the way your trying to do it ie hold volume button down, press center button then press reset button and release the reset button whilst holding down the other 2 buttons.
Not sure whether this helps, but I also had the back of the device removed when I did a hard reset via the button method.
Sounds like Spawn's solution might suit you better though.
excuse me if im wrong as i dont own a diamond (waiting for the pro to decide) but doesnt the stylus have to be removed or something like that to hard reset. maybe thats the issue? I think i read that somewhere.
Again, not sure but try with the stylus in or out or something :S

That's certainly the case on the Diamond as the reset button is beneath the stylus.
I have the same problem. I'm using TruxT rom. Cannot perform a hard reset. I hold the Volume Down, Center, Press Reset with the stylus in my hard and hold it until the device reset but... no "hard reset screen". It's annoying.
I've installed the HTC Scrolling cab from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343313) and since that my touchscreen don't work at all. There's only the D-Pad and all the hardware buttons that work.
I've read that simply uninstall this app will fix the problem but theres another problem. When I connect my phone to my computer, I'm force to connect it as an "external drive" because it's the way it was connect last time I did it. I cannot change the setting to "Active sync" when "Connect to pc" window appears using the hardware buttons so I'm stuck with a huge headache now. lol
Is there a way to force ActiveSync to detect my phone when I plug it ? My goal is to uninstall this app using ActiveSync instead of performing a hard reset. Anyway, it seems I can't do it.
After messing around with the device, I am now readying it to be my phone...this means, hard reset to go back to how it was + sync + simcard in etc
The rest procedure is as follows:
If device is on:
Hold Vol Up and Down and at the same time, press the reset button (you will have to remove the back battery cover and it is the RED button under the stylus head and NOT the opposite side which says VOID (this is a screw) )
Your device will reboot and then display on a white Screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data and reset.... etc
Now release your volume buttons and press the Vol UP button to reset it
Any other key will take you out of this and reboot the device without a hard reset.
Obviously soft reset is self explanatory...just press the red button in and release..this will reboot the device without any data loss
This is in your manual too on page 213/214 but it is always easier it being on a forum
Thanks always useful when inevitably I lose the manual

This didn't work on my device but I found out that pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
Thanks for the useful informations! Much appreciated!
found an easier way. you even dont need to remove the back battery cover to get to the reset button.
1. turn off the D2 by pressing(and holding down) the power button for few seconds! it will ask you if you want to turn of the phone.. "yes"
-for a Softreset just power on again ---> Softreset
-for a Hardreset hold VolUP & VolDn and power on! now you'll get to the white screen telling you everything will be deleted blabla! as akash_84 wrote now just press VolUP ---> Hardreset
Hard Reset for Diamond2 is press 1234 then YES!

Hi Everybody Here,
***DON'T NEED TO REMOVE BACK COVER !!!
***DON'T NEED TO PRESS WITH TWO HANDS !!!
Soft Reset : Press the Power Button for 3 seconds, then YES!
Hard Reset : Go to Start, Settings, System, look for a icon "Clear Storage" ,
Just key in 1234, then YES!
Is this more Simple?

I Followed the instruction step by step to Diamond2 but screen doesnt show any message buit instead I saw many colors such as red, green I think etc. what seems to be the problem can you please help me I need to Hard reset my device.
Make sure you press the volume up and volume down buttons in together and press the reset button, with the screen display you are getting it appears that you are only presing the volume down button
Long time ago found one program for my smartphone, to make restart by software. Here you can get this program:http://rapidshare.com/files/246268871/129_PhoneReboot.rar
Copy both files to device Program files\ folder, rename .ln to .lnk and insert it in Programs folder.
At least it works on my TD2
the vol up + vol down + red button worked. But the one with the vol up + vol down + power button didn't actually work :-?. Maybe didn't press enough time. Thanks a lot!!!
Hard Reset
Hi,
there are now 2 ways to hard reset our devices....
Will one of the hard reset delete the storage card also?
I don't want to try it
I removed the card when I did a hard reset, but I've read in these forums that I will work without removing it (meaning you won't lose anything with a hard reset with the card in). Didn't try it, read about it after I did the reset ...
