How do i do a hard reset? I have not got a manual so don't know which is the comms key nor the talk button! Any chance of pointing me to a web link that i can get an e-manual?

hard reset, hold down the comm button and the voice dial button and hit the reset button, continue to hold the 2 top buttons till you get a message asking if you want to format, then press the green send button and it will format
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!

Start - programs - Clear Storage - 1234

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
Read this doc:

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
I've bougt a HTC Touch Diamond from a friend. He left all his Contacts, pictures on the phone, so i want to Hardreset my Device.
I pressed the Volume-Down and the Enter button and then the Reset button. Release it and be pressing the other 2 Buttons.
Nothing happen....
I tried to push only the Reset button (soft reset?) but the device do nothing.
Is my Reset button defect?
Greez Michael from switzerland
Probrably. Hitting the reset button should shutdown your device in the same second. So it will vibrate and show the boot screen.
If you simple press the reset button and dont see nothing... well...
I've found a way:
I have to start the device and pressing the 2 buttons at the same time. Then the HTC displays the Reset screen without pressing the Reset button... crazy, but it works...
You found your way! ;-)
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.
