On my verizon diamond, i went to lock the screen "phone works perfect just screen is locked", and when i pressed the 4 characters it locked the screen...well come to found out i guess i didnt use the normal 4 characters i usually use, and ive tried literary 20-30 different 4 character entry's some what close to what i normal use and nothing correct so far,
and i Google search doing a hard reset and even just got off the phone from land line trying to do a hard reset, I was told with the phone turned on, volume down, center button and press the soft reset button....and that doesn't work their....
Is their a master password i could input to unlock the screen "phone works perfect screen is just locked"
and or why am i not able to even do a hard reset
Thanks Alot Chris

Ok, i just got my new AT&T tilt today and after the initial setup, I configured a password for the phone lock. Now get this. I entered a 4 digit password and CONFIRMED it and then pressed "ok" Now the phone is locked and I cannot use that exact same password to unlock!!!!!
Any ideas?? I am trying to figure out how to hard reset the phone.
Thanks for any advice!

hard reset:
hold both soft keys and press the soft reset button with the stylus.
continue holding the soft keys after releasing the stylus.
screen will prompt you for hard reset. press send.
I love you guys here....phew, after two hours of panic, Im all back!!!!
Thanks Again!
More help needed
I ran across this thread. my phone is locked with the pin, and I cannot get the pin to unlock the phone. I tried the softkeys and reset but it gets to the tri color screen and stops. It dosn't prompt for a hard reset.
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?
Hi there,
I am just really ****ed right now. I got Swisscom 1.97 Rom installed successfully and just wanted to get rid of the STK Service Message by turning one registry value. Then after a soft reset it just hard resettet itself and completely ****ed up. No touchflo, nothing worked, data storage was completely full. Now it just doesnt turn on anymore, is stuck at the very first screen reading TOUCH DIAMOND and the version numbers, so no chance for me to get into bootloader.
What am I supposed to do now?
phew... after few tries i eventually got into bootloader with the hard reset combination (who in the world thought of pressing volume down, ok AND reset at the same time? i need three hands). reflashing now, hoping everything works well

Um, that is the standard way to hard reset a HTC Touch Diamond and Pro when you cannot get into settings to do a hard reset just lke for the TyTn II you pressed one of the softkeys the end key and put the stylus in the soft reset little hole.
Everyone learns something new every day and this is your lesson for today.
This morning i was using my phone every thing was good and all the sudden this message came up it said my internal memory was full
when i checked it it said its 96 mb out of 96 mb
and when i went to my documents it had no folders excpet for pictures and music
so basiaclly my internal memory went missing and i am not talking about storage memory.
Then i soft reset it and it got stuck at the green screen and even if it goes to the the next screen it just gets stuckk. I cant get it to hard reset i
have treid to do everyyy single thing searched on google watched videos on it its not doing it. Also i have not downlaoded any thing illeagal or
any thing. Also i bought this from some one and it was brand new but i forgot to ask him for warranty and he didnt give me any paper work so does htc sell their phones with like warrantty or some thing??
also if like i try to use a rom on it thats made by like you guys how do i install that??
because my phone doesnt go past windows mobile screen ???
Thanks Guys
You said you can't get it to hard reset?
Did you do it following these instructions: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_HardReset
NOTE: you will lose all your settings, contacts etc.
i have done every thing to hard reset but i cant
becuase my device gets stuck at windows mobile screen
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons "aka the center button" , then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
but it says when the device turned on my device gets stuck at that screen but i have tried like every thing
i press and hold volume down and enter and then i press reset button then i release reset button and once the phone starts it goes to diamond screen and those little numbers at the bottom of screen come up.
First, do you have insurance through your carrier? It doesn't matter where you bought it if you have this.
Second, there is another way to hard reset phone besides those instructions. Sprint Customer Care had to walk me through that, different that what is in manual.
Last resort - HTC should cover within one year, they know the age. Call, maybe "gift" (forgive me for suggesting lying, but I have done that when I can't find receipt). I have had phones covered, it has to be sent in to be replaced, a pain, but probably last resort.
Hi all,
I hope you can help me a friend has a xperia and he has setup a password for it but with letters and with the touch screen keyboard, but now he can not enter letters only numbers i tried everything(soft reset, hard reset, start up the bootloader etc.) but nothing helps.
I can not connect it to my pc with ActiveSync, i tried several methods to hard reset the device.
- left&right + power button
- left&rigt + soft reset (power + volume button)
- left&right + stylus in back

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437607
But nothing works.
Has anyone a solution how i can reset or flash the phone.
The date inside it is not important, important is just to make the phone usable.
Thanks in advance?
Try using the keyboard, DUH. Turn off the function or caps toggles.
The password is CAPS specific also
so if it is something like 2hOmosapian
then if you type down 2homosapian
it will not work, you have to type down exactly as it is suppose to be: 2hOmosapian
Thanks for your help but it doesn't work i tried it several times.
Is it possible to reset the password or to format the phone some how.
I managed to get the touchscreen keyboard on the display and i am entering there teh password but it is not working.
Aojo00 is the password that has been set.

I have tried the same you were into and also i failed to hard reset my device
Are you using the updated ROM version or the original?
I have updated my ROM version during March
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?
First, the passwort-protection is useful if your X1 gets stolen, therefore any hint given in an anonymous forum on how to override this does not feel right for me. If official bought I would go to SE service.
Don´t yell at me because I bring that up, but if "your friend" has bought the X1, beeing aware of using a business PPC with WinMob, with all the opportunities to tweak, tune, configure, so not a simple mobile phone, why does he ask you to help him with his password?
But if the password is the one your friend has set, and everything is legal, I wonder if the "0" (zeros) could be "O"´s or "o"´s, too much of them in the password for my taste.
Sorry, but even if my thoughts are not correct in your special case, you will agree that we should not help people with this toppic without asking questions, right?
There is an important side i would like to bring up.
I believe that there is a lock after certain times of invalid entries, in other words.. after some wrong entries, the system will lock down for some time even if you have entered the valid password during that lock-time.
So, my advice is to keep nice interval between each bunch of trials, say 10 min. top
Am i missing something?
Isn't there a puck code? To be used after failing to enter the correct password after three times?
left /rigth +vol down +power is correct
