Hi Guys I just tried doing a hard reset. Went into the settings punched in 1234 and then it just froze. Its saying preparing your device for first use. Please wait. The home screen will appear when the process is complete. How long does it usually take because its already been 15 minutes. Thanks guys...!!
If you are using a stock ROM it should only be "Preparing" for about 1-2 minutes. If you are Using a custom ROM the wait time will vary: Depending on what is being loaded to the OS.
Try pressing the Soft Reset button & starting the Boot process again. If that doesn't help then try another Hard-Reset. To hard reset, Do the following:
1} Pull out battery
2} Replace battery
3} Hold the Vol. Down, & Action button
4} Press Power button
5} A Greyish screen will appear with blue lettering. Release the Vol. Down, & Action Buttons
5} Press Vol. Up {If you press Vol. Down @ this point you WILL wipe out everything on the Internal Memory card}
6} Follow instructions on screen
If another reset doesn't help, I would recommend reflashing the ROM & trying again.

Just before few minutes i have successfully upgraded my BS. I choose HSPL now my BL is 1.56 Olinex then flashed an blackSTONEhenge™ (WM6.5.3.28238/Manila 2.1) v6.0 rom all the process finished like a charm, now i can't able to Hard reset(Format)
I tried many times by pressing vol up + vol down then then power button at the same time but i cant see any prompt to format, it directly boots up into the os and i checked my volume keys also inside the os both works perfect.
As i used blackSTONEhenge™ there is also no clear storage option under START-SETTINGS-SYSTEM what do i do now?

Curious....why do you want to hard reset?
If you press vol up & vol down and continue to hold these and press power on button once you should be presented with a white screen and blue text. Press vol up again to restore manufacturer default, i.e. hard reset
Alternatively try asking within rom thread for where "clear storage" is located. I personally haven't used this rom so cannot comment, but it should be located somewhere on device
Hold Vol Up + Down and press the power button once (do not continue holding the power button). Continue holding vol up + down and it should get u where u want to go. Worked for me.

It was mentioned to format once or twice in the rom thread,
Thanks for your idea it solved my problem i can able to format now, i was such a noob trying holding even the power button instead of pressing it (very shortly) Once, it was not mentioned in any of the thread i googled.
Yes i searched but no 'clear storage' option in this rom must be fixed in feature.
Glad you got this sorted.
MOD EDIT - Thread closed as solution found

press and hold the power button till phone powers downs (vibrates) as screen goes off,at same time release power and press volume down (only this) count 1,2 and press and release power key again twice (still keep holding volume down) - should boot to bootloader
Hi. I just turned on my new D410, set up the account and waited until all the apps from my account was installed. Then I let the system to perform a firmware update. After updating and restart, the phone keeps running the bootloop. I even see a home screen/screen locker for a moment, but then the phone reboots. What should I have to do? I wanted to make the hard reset, but I am not able to enter that hard reset menu. (volume down+power, release power for 1 sec while pressing vol down, press power again). After pressing power the second time, phone just starts.
Ok, problem solved. The hard reset key sequence was different (volume down+power, release them both, press them again)

It's not different. You were misinformed. There is no 1 second pause between releasing the Power key and pressing it again. It's more like release and re-press. You may want to have a look here.

Well hold the power button till the screen goes black .. Now don't leave the power button and press the volume down the volume button ! Now leave the volume down button and then power button.. You'll boot in to the bootloader ! Now boot into the recovery ! And flash some other ROM !
Or flash the same ROM again .. This time clear internal data , system , dalvik cache , and then flash the ROM ! Hope this works !
