Don't worry mate!
And don't lissen to the nonsense of the other guy.
Try this (with sdcard in it):
1. Wipe sd-card
2. Keep the volume buttons pressed until you see a white screen with blue text.
3. Press the Down Volume button to confirm the Hard reset.
4. Press again the Down Volume button to restart the phone. Follow the Windows Phone configuration wizard, then reboot your phone again (just a simple reboot).
PLEASE NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING INCLUDING SD CARD! BACKUP-UP the things you need!!!

This should be help.

With the phone off, try to do a hardreset: Hold down the two silver buttons directly under the screen, while holding them down push the power button, you should then be presented with a screen that asks you to press "R" to reset your device....so go ahead and flip open the keyboard and press "R", when it completes it will ask you to press "Spacebar" to restart the device.

Try hard resetting it again and see if you can get it back. You may have to try a few times.

Pull out battery, reinsert, press power then hold both volume keys at the same time until tri colored screen appears then follow onscreen instructions.

I don't think you're doing it correctly.
That is your boot screen, so your device is trying to boot.
Try just hitting the soft reset button then IMMEDIATELY, before it starts to boot, hold down both volume buttons

Tryd that to,
i still get the same screen
T5358 isnt a diamond 2 phone... you bought a fake phone like diamond 2 ... give it back ...
same problem
same problem here. had the phone a couple of weeks.
when i hold down both volume buttons and power up, it says that file does not exist.
I have figured out that it is looking for an image file on the micro sd card.
I think you need to format a sd card load it with the .img file of the operating system and then try a hard reset.
But that's just a guess... where do we get the image file?

The image file would be the .nbh file of the ROM renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh.
Then it would flash a new ROM to your device, but you have to have HSPL installed first or you'll brick your phone.
Guys, you can't wronger.
The WM 6.1-6.5 has the option of Hard Reset from inside the running system. It's located in Settings/system/clean boot. Once you set the keys 1234, it reboots and hard reset (re-installs everything and revert back to factory settings, so you'll have to calibrate the screen, and so on).
BUT BE AWARE: The phone needs certain files stored in the original SD card. If you deleted them, you are f**ed. The folder ExtROM is where the files needed to restore the OS are.
I could upload the folder to somewhere, so you store back on the SD, and try. The fact it keeps asking for files is simply because they are not available.

MDA Vario III don't want to boot

Hi,
I have a problem after flashing my MDA.
After any restarts, the telephone don't want to boot into OS.
Hard Reset, Soft reset, Take out battery all nothing happend.
I only see the "windows phone" picture and in the right bottom corner any numbers in 3 rows.
Can I boot the fon with SD Card and reflash it?
Try removing the SD and booting "corrupt SD can stop boot" if not then:
Get into bootloader flash stock ROM.
Hold in camera keep hold and press stylus in reset whole hold.
Can be via USB or SD but i always use SD to flash.
Yes thanks,
5minutes ago, I found a thread like your answer.
It function. Thanks a lot

a real bricked liquid...

People,
These things happend to my phone. For about two months I was running a custom rom on my acer liquid. This worked fine, so I decided to delete the backup files on my phone.
From that moment programs were saying that my phone wasn't rooted anymore. Now I tried do root it again, following the procedures from theunlockr.com. This went all well until I had to load the 'install-superboot-windows.bat' file. My phone started to reboot, I saw 'acer' on the screen followed by the typical android combinated with acer. After that my phone went black...
I can't seem to get any further than that.
I've tried the hard reset (both volumebuttons combinated with the power button), I also tried powerbutton combinated with the volume-up button.
What can I do!?!?
Greetz,
Peter
Try accessing the recovery console : disconnect and reconnect battery, connect the usb cable and then press and hold camera + volume up(+) + Power. From there you should be able to access recovery mode and eventually make the device visible to the acer tool to flash a clean rom.
You are kinda correct (I have gone through this a couple of times).
Take out battery and put it back in (just leave the back cover off to make things easier) (I think you leave the USB cable unplugged. Pretty sure I did).
Hold down Camera+Volume Down+Power. You will feel 2-3 vibrations.
Release those buttons.
Press power as if you are turning the phone on.
It should boot up into recovery. From there either restore a nanadroid or flash a new rom.
Best of luck keep us informed with your progress.
thanks dudes!!
Wow... it was only because I saw a reply on modaco first. But you had the same solution... and it worked!!
I couldn't reach the SD card using 'mount SD on' but thank god I had an old rom packed in a zip on my sd card. This one I could reach so now I lost al my programs, but I don't give a damn!
Very much thanks for the help and the given solutions, I REALLY appriciate it!
Yours sincerely,
Peter
Nice to see it worked

It's a simple as this (thank god!) You should press the camera button, hold it and press the 'volume down' button and hold them together with the powerbutton. Now you will feel a triple vibration. The phone will now load a menu in wich you can load a ROM that's on your SD-card? (i had that)
If you haven't got that try to reach the SD-card by selecting the 'mount on-option'. That will give te computer access to your SD-card. Now you can flash it.
That last thing didn't worked with me, but from now on i will always leave a good ROM on my SD-card in case in happends again.
Hope i helped you out!!
Grtz!

Display broken, black screen but phone still working - how to factory reset?

Hi,
I just received a phone of a friend that hit the floor a little bit too fast. Now it is cracked and there is just a black screen but the phone can still be turned on. As I don't want it to go to waste, it's still partially working and someone can probably make it whole again, I want to sell it. But for this I need the private data to be erased.
So a factory reset is my goal, but for some reason it doesn't work out. I tried the following (which I found somewhere around here but I can't find the thread right now):
1. Get into recovery
2. Press 3 times volume down + power
3. Press 7 times volume down + power
4. Wait for two minutes
5. Press power again
This should erase the data and reboot the phone. I tried it several times but for some reason it doesn't reboot and when I turn it on again it shows my friends user name.
After that I rooted the phone and installed TWRP which worked perfectly fine. But I think I made a mistake there as TWRP is touch only, isn't it? Do I need to download the stock rom and try the factory reset again or is there any other way I can go from here?
