Help. the red reset button on my touch diamond no longer seems to respond. Pressing it does nothing. I installed Remote Tracker some time ago and not sure if it stopped before this or after. Removing the battery does not help. Has anyone had this problem. I can not hard reset either. Its like the switch might have died. (
Mmmm...
I don't know about your reset button - it sounds like a hardware issue with the button itself, but you can hard-reset by going to Settings / System tab / Clear Storage - type in 1234 and tap 'yes', the device will do a hard-reset
Thank you. are you sure this "clear memory" preforms a hard reset? i thought it just deleted the internal storage. I will try this asap.

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.
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?
Yes, bottom left "phone" button is send

Hi all.
I'm a bit concerned. All of a sudden the ability of my phone to fix itself by hard reset (L+R buttons > Power on) is gone. This is quite bad.
I can still perform a hard reset via the control panel (erase all data).
Anyone know what's wrong? After the last hard reset the phone wasn't like how it was to begin with at all - or how it was after any of the other hard resets. All of the SE customisation had gone, and only the first 4 panels were available.
How come hard reset isn't a dead cert, and why in the world has the hardware shortcut gone?
Thanks
Mine refused to do a hard reset using the power button + silver buttons, it kept complaining that there was "no image file".
For some reason, using the soft reset button instead of the power button seemed to work on mine, after using the soft reset button behind the battery cover with the two silver buttons it did a proper hard reset and it worked with no problems.
i did 2 hard resets on mine now and i had weird behavior too.
On the first hard reset i couldnt hard reset by pressing the two silver buttons and the power button, just nothing happened. I then tried to press the silver buttons and inserted the stylus into the hole on the back which worked.
As i did a hard reset for the second time method 2 didnt work anymore, therefor method 1 suddenly worked...very weird
mine, couldnt hard reset it by preseing L & R and then soft reset...
i did it by clearing storage in setting!
It happen to me too...I solved it this way
Assign the default to each button left and right and then try it again..
PD: to hard reset trhee botton togheter and then relaese first the power button and wait until screen turn white....
Sorry for bad english
i need help!
mine did the reset ok, but when connected to sony ericsson's ipdate service keeps flashing 'no image file' and the update service says device not recognised. any ideas how i can fix it?
I have a slightly different problem. x1 to cleanse his memory, I was enabled very strange program that was the code'1234 'and when I did it my X1 phone simply shuts down. When I start up back, I appeared on a white screen with a blue stripe on top, and in the middle of the screen wee dagger. I've tried all the ways to retrieve the telephone to life but nothing is party, and the Internet also can not find anything. Please help.
@ thomsonss1: try a hard reset. That should work. Report back if it doesn't and we'll think of something else
Noooo it's not working.... I even can't to put a pin code or mobile code....
it suck......
I am also having the "No Image File!" issue. Has anyone fixed their phone or am I SOL?
IS there a hard reset application or .exe file for KAISER? I just bought a pre-owned TYTN II and I am having a hard time doing hard reset. Left and Right soft key are working and so as the reset button but when I had tried holding Left and Right Soft key while i push the reset button, it doesnt invoke hard reset... Please help!!!
Look for "Clear Storage" control panel.

I did "Clear storage" few times, because hard reset with buttons and stylos never worked on my kaiser, and some of installed apps and settings after that just showed up ( like gprs connection settings). Try Memaid, it gives you a hard reset option.
Thanks
Thanks burtcom and darkic for your reply.
I did clear storage and works like hard reset. I will also try memaid.
Again, thank you for helping me find other ways to hardreset!
