People,
I tried searching, but since almost every thread mentions "soft resets" and "app's" and "prog's" I could not find anything.
I'm looking for a simple way to do a soft reset without opening my cover. So a single software button somewhere would be fine if it would let me do a soft reset.
Is there anything out there that can do this?
You don't need to open the cover to soft reset.
There's a button in the stylus "hole" (where you put your stylus in the diamond) to do this.

That's what I'm looking for, I see now I didn't explain it very well, sorry for that...
psShutXP has soft reset.
Here you go, I made especially for you D) in 30 sec a little app (mortscript)
Just unzip where you want, and launch softreset.exe
I Didn't tested it but I think it'll work
Or you can just press the power button for some 5 seconds and the device will ask if you want to turn it off. Answer yes and you are done with your soft reset... it takes a little bit more time, but its safe and will turn off your applications so you don't loose any data...
Assign psShutXP to soft key and you have soft reset and hard reset and turnoff screen and sleep device all in one.
There is a quick app that you can put in your programs menu.

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.

-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus(thanks pof)
-HardReset: Hold Both soft keys in while pushing in Reset button :When prompted push Green Talk Button to clear data.

Don't forget about your good friend, WIKI.
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..
hi all, Diamond newbie here. Any program to soft reset by pressing button on screen? I need to remove the back cover everytime to reset the device. Is there any better way? Thanks
Remove the back cover? Just take out ur stylus, put it an angle, and press the red button?
Put in angle? I did try few times. It is not easy to access. Just thinking of any software to do the job. Thanks anyway.
Hold down the power button and you are given the option to soft reset. IF the device has crashed and this doesn't work, then as said above, remove the stylus and hit the button there.
There is a little software somewhere on this forum called reset.cab that does exactly what you want.

It works smoothly
hi,
my mda compact IV does not restart, it stuck on the green screen, nothing is possible
i've tried to hard reset it with volume down+center button + reset, but nothing happens,
is it possible that i broke my reset button; this because i've put an needle in the reset button, the needle went a little bit deeper, but nothing happens,
is there an other way to reset or start up the diamond ???
thanks already,
But only reset work ??
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:
Howto hard reset / Soft reset?
Soft reset:
Poke your stylus at the reset button.
Hard reset:
1. turn off the phone
2. Hold both right and left buttons (the ones right under the screen, dont know the name)
3. press power button, while still holding the others
Another way of doing it is hold the two buttons and poke your stylus at the reset button, then on your keyborad press r
Dont have the reset button using the ROM from XDA
(Nov 21) Touch-IT X1 M-HD 1.1 <<<UP NOW>>>
The reset button isnt a software feature, its a physical button, located under the battery cover in the middle of the stylus silo.
Check your X1 manual, its all described in there.
Bit of a silly question here but im fairly new to WM, after owning my X1 since for a while now, i've installed all manor of rubbish on it testing bits and bobs out.
Just wanting to know a few things about the reset if anyone could confirm them:
Soft reset:
Just resets the device and boots back up as normal without removing anything?
Hard reset:
Removes everything back to factory default. Though I have heard people not being able to use GPS and messaging/internet. Mine was not a branded device so I imagine it should be fine.
That's about right.
hello
can i just clarify here then - if u soft reset, then u will not lose any files/pictures/programs/softwares etc in ur phone?
cheers

A soft reset is the same as turning the phone off, then back on.

You have to hold the 2 keys mentioned and the power button "all at the same time" then release the power button first. after that press R on your keboard, that should do the trick. tried it and it works
Keep the soft keys HELD DOWN until the color screen shows up.

Thanks for this specific method.
How do you know if its worked, the phone turned on straight away when i held down the left and right button and power, should it do that?
why do people reset their phones daily or just alot? wat does it do for u?
Soft Rest, Hard reset .. 1 finger
In your dialer type *74*# and then dial.
It will ask you for soft reset, hard reset or Device info.
Eazy, convinient,...working in almost all ROMs (but I have had a ROM where it was not working)... Now I have EneryROM and it works!

Doesn't work for me (Smaberg's Touch X 10.1)
The key thing people are doing wrong is holding down the power button and the two soft keys when hard resetting. make sure you let go of the power button straight away! (continue to hold the soft keys!)

??? try reflashing your rom
I had the same problem before before I realized that some buttons are kind of stiff when you press them especially the way you have to press them all at the same time. You can try to have someone help you.... you press down the camera and record button REALLY HARD and your friend press the reset button. Hold them all down for a couple of seconds until the options to reboot appear in the unlighted screen.

YES - PRESS REALLY HARD!
That's the best way to break your mainboard or damage your buttons.
Just press and wait!
