[Q] Factory Reset when volumn up down isn't working

I bought a used N1 and started setting it up before I realized the volume up/down rocker doesn't work. I set up a return with the seller but I would like to do a factory reset first since I set up my mail and stuff.
I have searched around and couldn't come up with a way to factory reset that didn't involve using the volume up/down to navigate.
Anybody know of a way to factory reset without the volume up/down? Can I use the Android SDK adb.exe?
Thanks in advance for any help...

With the phone turned off, press and hold Trackball+Power+Vol down until you see a white screen with 3 Android on skateboards. Select recovery from the menu and clear data.

I can get to the recovery screen via adb reboot recovery but the Volume UP AND the Volume Down buttons aren't working so I can't select anything!!!
Anyone know of another way to reset?

also please tell me when i do this reset my current stock rom (LB2) will be revereted to kl3 or i will be in lb2
i am noob
thanks

Soft reset is nothing just removing background application/process. As you just reboot your device.
Hard reset, wipe off your data, n will b just as out of box.
you can do with
1. setting - privacy - factory data reset (if you select format USB storage, then only data on USB storage will be wiped, as such no needed)
2.From recovery, Vol up + home + power - select wipe data
Hard reset won't revert back to previous ROM, it will same ROM which is you have right now. To revert back to old ROM, you need PC Odin.

To reset your phone to default factory settings:
Press and hold the following button:

This will bring up a small menu
Using the volume keys navigate to "Wipe data/Factory reset"
This option should restore your mobile to its default settings.
Thanx anyway ...

Bricked Lg Thrill 4g

Hi,
I was running stock ICS 4.0.4 root and with TWRP recovery, I decided to do a factory reset so I went to the "backup and restore" option located on System Settings, after click on the "factory reset" option my phone reboots and then goes to TWRP recovery, from here I manually click on Factory Reset and then when I try to reboot to system every time it goes to recovery.
Now I can't boot into OS everytime it will just go to recovery...
Any help would be really appreciated!

Try this.
Warning this will wipe all of your data!
Ok now onto something you should try. To get to the Factory Hard Reset:
1. Turn off the phone.
2. Hold down the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time.
3. Click Factory reset when the menu asks you if you want to.
Let me know if that helps.

The only way I ever found to fix this was reflashing the kdz/bin

[Q] Does everything get restored when you do a hard factory reset/restore?

Talking about the hard reset method:
How to hard reset a Sony Xperia Z3
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.
Then press and hold the power key (while you are still holding the volume up and down buttons).
The device will enter Recovery Mode, release the buttons once this happens.
You can navigate up and down with the volume keys, while the power button can be used to select an option.
Select the “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” option and then press “Yes”.
After that, simply press on the “Reboot system now” option.
Your phone will restart and be ready for action!

Say I delete the "stock" pictures/videos that came with the phone. Will they be restored if I do a hard reset as mentioned in the quote above?
