Need some help ASAP - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I was getting ready to flash a new ROM on my Tilt. I thought I had read that you hold the phone key while powering on the phone to do this. When it came up SPL1.0.0liPof was running. Now I cannot power down the phone nor can I find the way to have SPL shut down and reboot.
What do I do???

do a softreset using your stylus and the little hole next to the USB port at the same time

Thanks much. I wanted to experience a hard reset before installing the ROM and ended up in SPL instead.

Well then you did something wrong
To Hard Reset Press and Hold the two Soft Keys "-" and then press your stylus into your Reset Hole.
To Get into Bootloader "SPL" Press in the Camera Button and put your stylus into the Reset Hole.

Help please! Can't hard reset dead phone

I installed the official WM 6.1 update on my Kaiser, and now it won't boot - it just hangs on the HTC splash screen. The bigger problem is that hard reset doesn't seem to work - I press and hold the 2 soft keys, press the reset button, and then it just does a soft resetback to the splash screen.
Can anyone help? Please?

thats because you are not properly pressing the two soft screens. Do you have big figures? if so you might be hitting the keys next to them accidently and the phone just soft resets when you put style in to hole.
Make sure you don't touch the other keys except the 2 soft keys together at same time and while keeping them depressed insert stylus and than keep this for a second and the restore will come up.
p.s. use chop sticks or something else or grow your nails a little lol so you can press the keys easily
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in as the phone will NOT hard reset if it is.
Thanks for the ideas guys, but still no luck. Fairly sure I was pressing the buttons right anyway, but I've tried with a couple of pens, and no USB cable in sight, and it's not done anything different. Any other suggestions?
Will the phone go into the bootloader (hold Camera button while soft reseting)? If so, then just flash a different ROM.
Thank you, that's sorted it!
Good to hear that worked. There have been some isolated reports on the site regarding certain OEM ROMs preventing the traditional hard reset from working. Look like you found one of them!

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:

diamond doesn't hard reset, please help

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
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER button, 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 a message on the screen.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.
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.

Hard Reset Problem, really driving me crazy.

Hello everyone.
I am new to the whole custom rom and flashing thing, but after some reading and researching I decided to backup my stock rom and flash a custom one.
So I did successfully, to the point when the flash is done and I should do a so called Hard Reset. I've done the hard reset thing before and it worked, but now when I hold the both "silver" couloured buttons and the powerbutton at once the phone vibrates once and start booting.
I just don't know how to proceed with this since my X1 won't go in to Hard reset mode, I have no idea why or what I should do, so please, anyone just give me a hint and make my day.
Sorry if this is a totally useless thread for everyone else and it's just being annoying, but I really need some help here guys and girls.
Thanks in advance / Anton.
You probably just haven't gone through this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Hope that solves it
Good luck!
Actually I did, I followed BioVolt's videoguides on every step and when I checked afterwards on the tri color bootloader-screen it said: "KOVS110 SPL-0.72.01iNex" wich indicates that the Hard SPL procedure was successful.
Thanks for the hint tough, problem still not solved...

I had the same problem - what you need to do is NOT hold the power button for long, just for like a second then it should work.
I too faced hardreset problem earlier, then later i found the following procedure holds corrects, atleast for my mobile. What i do is, press both silver buttons at a time and press power button only once and leave it(just press and leave only power button not the silver colored ones)..after few secs it will go to hard reset mode...
Try holding down the volume down button and the power button to go into the bootloader mode. From there, continue with your normal hard reset procedure which is holding down the 2 silver buttons and then press the reset button.
You only need to hold the two soft keys (silver buttons) to get into hard reset mode. if your phone is off, then you only need to tap the power button to turn on the phone, not hold it, but continue to hold the silver keys until you get the grey screen.
Hope that helps

You need to completely shutdown your X1 first before hardreset. I mean COMPLETELY: remove your battery for at least 5s, then attach it and hard rest your device.
Thanks alot guys, actually the problem got solved by now, I treid a method I hadn't heard of before where you hold your two softkeys and under the battery cover give the "stylus hole" a push..
Worked just fine! Thanks alot to everyone bothering to help me, it's thanks to you guys I now have a working X1
Kinds regards / Anton.
the reason why its hard for people to hard reset from when its off is because they're holding the power button as well as the two silver keys!
you just hold the two silver keys and press the power key once, quickly.
keep holding the two silver keys until press R comes up!
