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)

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.

why did they make it so hard?? lol i am not so elastic!!
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...

Hello, I've a very strange issue, but it seems that my reset button (that one pressed with stylus) does not work and because of that I cannot enter bootloader.
In the past I've flashed my ROM many times, so for sure It worked for me before.
Any ideas?
Turn the phone off, hold down the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, press the POWER BUTTON.
what about hard reset
Ok, it helps and bootloader loads. What about hard reset?
Last time I did it like that:
"1. press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
2. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen...."
but now I does not work, probably because of the reset button
Try using the same method, turn off the phone hold down the required buttons and press the power button.
I have read that a hard reset is activated by:
1. Turn off the device if it is turned on
2. (Plug the device into the computer USB Port) Press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power Button at the same time for about three to four seconds to turn the device on, if done correctly you’ll see an Android lying on its back
3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the Recovery Mode option, and press the Power Button to confirm your choice
4.The device will restart, and after a few minutes the device should boot to a screen showing an Android with a red triangle, press and hold (release buttons after 5 seconds) the Power Button and Volume Up on this screen
5. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press the Power Button to confirm our choice
6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Yes and press the Power Button to confirm your choice
All goes well till after #2 after i plug in the device to computer via usb port it the tablet freezes and i can not navigate to recovery mode or anything.
Have I missed a step or is something wrong? If onboard recovery process is broke is there a way to fix it?
Why you make a duplicate thread?

Hello. I have a Huawei W1 running 8.1 GDR1 and yesterday, it just started rebooting endlessly every 5 minutes, and it always took the date back to 8:08 AM 8/27. I tried to hard reset on the about section but it just restarted normally without wiping anything. Tried to do the - and + volume buttons combination but the screen with the exclamation mark disappears as soon as I press the first button. There's no way to hard reset this phone and I don't have any other idea to fix it. What can I do?
How to Factory Reset:
Go to Start > Application list > Settings.
Then scroll to the bottom and choose About.
Tap on Reset your phone.
To confirm the reset tap Yes.
It will take a few minutes to restore the default settings, then your phone will restart.
--- Hard Reset ---
Option 1:
Press and hold the Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time.
Then release the Power button when the phone vibrates.
After that, release the Camera button and Volume Down when you are prompted on the Format screen option.
Then press Windows button twice to confirm.
Option 2:
Turn your phone off.
Then press and hold the power key and release it when it vibrates.
Press and hold the Volume Down button until the exclamation mark is displayed.
Then input the follow sequence of keys: Volume Up > Volume Down > Power > Volume Down.

I tried all of that, to no avail. In the about section, the phone just reboots and doesn't wipe anything, and the other methods just don't work.
Hi my volume button down is broken and everytime it boots it's in safemode.
Whenever trying to access recovery it normally boots up when buttons are pressed.
Booting into download mode freezes it, I have to do a hard reboot by pressing all the buttons.
Volume/power button work fine when in use.
I've opened up my phone to disconnect my volume button it stills boots up in safemode.
I've tried 2 new roms still in safemode.
Hello brother,
Even you flash 2 new roms still booting up safe mode, bad seen
i feel your volume down button was keep pressed maybe,,,,,maybe (it should be b coz of dust or something else).
to be confirm is that your volume button broken or pressed follow the steps below
1. switch on your mobile release the power key and Press again the power key and wait till finish the boot, (if the device get restarted it means we can confirm your volume down button was pressed & hold)
2. press home button & power button check if the device is going to download mode ( if you stuck press power button u will get exit)
how ever try to clean the volume down button inside and pull slightly. after turn on your mobile.
if your damn sure volume button was broken not working at all, then lets think about it
