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.

Still isn't doing that...
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

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.

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
eRay42
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.

Straight from the manual.... Though i have not tested it...
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN
and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete
all your personal data,
and reset all settings
to manufacturer default.
Press VolUp to restore
manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel.4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.

nope, to clear the storage, you need to use the "Clear Storage" application in the System tab in Settings

This is very important for restore system from storage..
That's what I thought....but having read the spec from the other post....I am in doubt.
If it's 4GB ROM instead of 256ROM+RAM+Extra Storage.....programs like SPB Backup will be damned.

i cant see how, the 4GB is still considered a "storage card" by default. Every app i use works fine...
Thanks....I will get one probably by this week.
whoa, keep in mind if you push "volume down" button after releasing the reset button once the message appears you will hard reset and reformat the 4gb storage.
To just hard-reset push the "volume up" after releasing the reset button once the message appears on the screen
Can anyone explain to me where I can find the alleged 256M ROM ? In the RAM status, I can only see the 192MB storage+program and the other tab for 38XX MB internal storage..?
Correct me if I am wrong, I believe size of ROM has never been shown in any version of WinMo. Storage+Memory only concerns RAM. And I am confortable if those ~4GB is shown under Storage Card.
Can someone tell me where the reset hole is? I have looked everywhere and cannot find it. Thanks.
take off the battery cover, take out the stylus, it's underneath the big end of the stylus. A little red button.

no way to hard reset!
Sure there is:
1. Press the volume down + enter button + soft reset (see the picture postet earlier) at the same time.
2. Then let go of the soft reset but keep pressing the volume down and enter buttons untill you se the message on the screen.
3. Then release the buttons and press volume up to make a hard reset.
If your device is still functioning, you can use the clear storage function to do a hard reset. This will also let you choose if you also clear the internal storage part.

Same problem to hard reset for me.

Hi guys,
Great forum, unfortunately i can't find a solution for my problem. Here is my problem: I installed Diamond TF3D Config on my phone and i tweaked a couple of things, everything went well untill i changed the TouchFlow menus.
It automatically restarts, but the loading process can't pass the HTC logo screen and now it says:
" The Device is unable to boot because either you turned of the device incorrectly...----- Press SEND to reset your device..."
Well, ofcourse I followed the instructions and pressed SEND, but it looks like it doesn't do anything at all. The error screen above keeps displaying, without anything telling me that something is being done about the problem. Is it doing something or is it just stuck? (The light is continously on).
Can you guys help me? By the way I tried the manual hard reset, but that didn't help.
did you hard or just soft reset?
well i did a soft reset, that didn't work out keep getting that screen.
and I tried a hard reset but that wasn't possible, because i couldn't get in the device, so it pretended it was a soft reset..
but do you know if it is doing something or not , cause i get the screen continously with the lights on
PM the developer... sushilange... and then post the solution here for us all to take benefit of.
Not sure of your full situation, but two options that may help; hard reset, or connecting phone to pc and try running an RUU install; of course all data will be lost, device could be as well.
---- Hard Reset Option ----
To perform a hard reset:
1. Press and hold both softkeys on the device (the little dots above ok, and windows key). Keep these keys pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the bottom of your device.
NOTE: I had no idea which of the many keys were considered the soft keys. They are the two buttons above the phone control buttons.
2. Release the stylus but keep the softkeys pressed when you see the following message on your device screen:
“Do you want to erase all user data and restore to manufacture default?”
3. Slide open the hardware keyboard, and press R to restore to factory default or press X to exit the hard reset process.
Note:
Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed
--- RUU install ROM --- (this is for the mogul, you'll have to find your own, just reading material)
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/mogul/software-downloads.html
k I will. And this guy has the necessary knowledge?
bjason6 , thanx for your help
but I don;t understand.
hardware keyboard, a diamond doesnt have a keyboard or do you mean something else and where are the two soft buttons i cant seem to find them
This is the proper way to hard reset the Diamond (taken from the wiki):
Switch the device off. Press and hold the "Volume Down Key" and "Action Button" (round button), at the same time, use the stylus to press the red RESET button in the stylus silo. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit'. If you press R, your device will be set back to factory default settings.
Hard Reset will delete all data you have put on the device: Programs, Settings, Mail, SMS, MMS, etc., so be careful and make a backup before doing this.
After a hard reset, you will have a complete clean new install of Windows Mobile on your device.
I thought the phone must be on for the hard reset to work, because I doesnt work on y phone
and oh, the SEND button is just the phone button right? the one beneath the House-button?

Hi guys!
Yesterday my Kaiser hang and I had to do a Soft-Reset. Now, it boots into windows and immediatelly resets...I tried to make a Hard-Reset but it seems the soft buttons doesn't work, although they work fine in Windows...
After that I tried to flash a new ROM via SD card but when I press the Power Button to start the update, it does nothing, nor the Action Key to Cancel...
Do you have any idea of what it can be? I really need some help because I cant do anything with it....
Regards!

I think you are not doing the hard reset properly, since you are stating that the buttons work while you are in windows. Retry and see what happens.
Yeah does sound like you need a hard reset and aren't doing it properly. 2 ways to do it listed below:
-Press and hold the Left & Right SOFT KEYs and at the same time use the stylus to press the RESET button. Release the stylus but keep pressing the SOFT KEYS until you see the Hard Reset warning screen. Release the SOFT KEYS and then press the LEFT PHONE KEY.
-A software option is also available. Start> Settings> System> Clear Storage.
Type 1234 in the box and tap YES.
Sorry for the silence guys...
I'm doing the Hard Reset OK, but the phone simply doesnt do it...
Also the Power button doesnt work when installing a new ROM with SD Card...
My phone is in a continuous soft reset :s
Someone please help me. I have installed HARDSPLV1 and everything appeared to be working, but every time I put a ROM on my storage card as Kovsimg.nbh and enter the bootloader tricolor screen it just says
KOVS100
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
then Serial in the white part
then it says Loading...
No Image File!
What am I doing wrong? I have tried 2 different sd cards and 2 different ROMS with the same result. Someone please help if they can!
Have you unchecked "hide extensions of known files types" in Folder Options and made sure it isn't 'kovsimg.nbh.nbh' ? (I've seen this case, back a few months ago.. the creator of the thread never listened though)
What is the filesize of the rom you've placed onto the SD card(s)?
What was the filename+extension of the file before you renamed it? ruu_signed.nbh or was it some .zip or .rar?
There's other causes of this error, but just making sure the fundamentals are done correctly
Thanks to the above poster for offering his help^
However, I got it working, the problem was I didnt format the storage card with FAT32 prior to putting the Kovsimg.nbh file on it. I discovered you DO NOT need a card reader to do this on your PC. The X1 can act as a card reader when you set the option to disk drive select the disk drive in my computer after connecting the device and Format it with FAT32 there.
One thing though worrying me, I was not able to do a hard reset after installing the ROM onto my device, I tried depressing the two silver buttons while also depressing the power button and waiting for hard reset prompt to appear, but the device simply botted up as normal. Although, everything seems to be working fine without the hard reset. Any advice?
a hard reset is holding those silver buttons on the front and the button at the back of the phone, take off the metal cover and take out the stylus and you will see a circle, stylus covers it the button, hold that button too with the silver ones when on.
Oh word. well I was going by what BioVolt said in his tutorial... he said hold down both silver buttons and power button... but what you said makes sense since that didnt work,
Do you think I should hard reset the device even though the ROM has already been set up and everything seems to be working smoothly?

Even I had this problem of hard resetting my X1 initially while flashing ROMs. Then I found out that the trick lay in pressing down the two silver buttons and pressing the power button and the moment the phone gives the initial vibration, to release the power button. This way, you would be able to get into the hard reset screen. Try this and see.
And yes, I think a hard reset is advisable.

If your ROM is set up and working properly, then there is no need of a hard reset.
I usually flash through the SD Card method. After successful flashing message is displayed, I restart the phone and immediately perform a hard reset. Hope this helps.
^ thank you. Originally when I got the successful flashing message, I took the battery out and tried to do a hard reset. To this day, it hasnt allowed me to do one. instead of going the the hard reset prompt, the device always just boots up normally. Ive tried all different ways, hard reset by holding the two silver buttons and power button, and by holding the two silver buttons and just pressing the power button, hard reset by holding the reset button behind the batterycover with stylus and holding the silver buttons. All the same thing, just get the Sony Ericsson screen and the device starts up. I have spikegotti X1.5 6.5 ROM btw.
