Hi,
I just purchased screen locked phone (requires password to unlock). I thought hard reset will fix it but it does not do anything.
I hope volume UP and volume DOWN buttons simultaneosuly while phone if off then press Power button and release it while continuing holding VolUP and VolDown but nothing happens - phone stays on locked screen. Does this procedure works on locked phones?
Mmmm...
Make sure you're holding the buttons in firmly while you briefly press the power button. It doesn't matter that the device is password protected, all the data will be cleared and set to default ROM settings.
If the device just switches on, it means that one or both of the volume buttons weren't completely pressed when you hit the power button
I tried like 10 times already. I hold both buttons very tight but after pressing power, it just comes back to unlock screen.

hold volume button down and press power button. if you can do this just flash a new rom from the sd card.
This does not do anything either. I hold vol down button while phone is off and press briefly power while still holding button and nothing happens. It comes to load screen.

its starts booting windows mobile? or tri color screen?
No. it does not do anything. It acts if I just press Power button. Both volume buttons work fine since I can adjust volume

Hard reset
Be sure first that device (not the screen) is turned off, then:

Thanks,
I figured this out. I was so stupud, I understood phone is off is like screen is Off. It actually meant the whole phone is off instead (had to remove battery for that).
The First thing you need to do: Power-OFF your device.
since it's locked, software interaction may not possible. you need to take the battery out, and put it back in 2-3 seconds later
Then, hold VOLUP and VOLDOWN tightly, and hit the power button to start the hard reset procedure.

Thanks I solved my problem..
Hard reset

Hi,
Diamond is not going to bootloader (tricolour) screen after MTTY. MTTY was successful but nothing happening after pressing volumedown+center button.
Now device is just showing - Touch diamond when i switch on.
I have diamimg.nbu on internal storage, is there any way to trigger install.
It was working fine before mtty.
Pull battery out to turn it off.
Put it back in.
Press and hold volume down
Press reset button.
The reason its only showing Touch Diamond is that the MTTY process has cleared off your previous OS. You need to get it back to bootloader and try MTTY again.
I have tried all those stuff but no luck, for every thing diamond just vibrates and shows "Touch Diamond".
I guess boot loader is not working, is there any way to connect to it and repair bootloader.
I have tried snoopy from some post but thats also of now help.
Taken from PPCGeeks:
"Hold down the Volume down key and power button, the take the tip of your stylus and press the soft reset button (bottom left corner of phone under battery cover). After you press reset button keep the Volume down and power button press until the bootloader screen comes up"
Let us know if this works.
Thanks Super....
This is not working, only option i see is some way to connect to it through USB because i had faced this problem earlier also but that time RRU updater used to push it to bootloader.
volume down button used to work only with original HTC ROM for me....only a few time it used to work with cooked ROMs....
Hi,
Anyone can suggest some advance tool which can connect to diamond if its not going to bootloader through normal methods.
Its all clear by MTTY, i have ROM image on internal storage.
Solved finally.......
Hold only volume button pressed, press reset button and immediately after that press ok or back button
So.... Been playing with this for the last two days trying to root this phone.
I've rooted a few other phones, so I do have experience with the overall process, but I am unable to even boot this phone into Recovery. I have tried booting into recovery by holding down both volume buttons + power and from adb terminal "adb reboot recovery."
Neither method works. The phone will boot (or reboot from adb) and brings up the "at&t World Phone" screen and then nothing else appears. The first time I tried this it actually wouldn't boot up even after pulling the battery and trying to start normally, it still sat at the same screen. I let it sit all day today at the screen until the battery died. I was finally able to get it to boot up earlier.
If anyone can help, that'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know what info I need to add.
I usually just press and hold both volume buttons and power then release just the power button and keeping the volume buttons still pushed on the 2nd time the white at&t screen pops up... Works for me every time.

hold volume up+down and power key btw this is wrong section to post supposed to be in general
Oh sorry, didn't realize it was supposed to be posted in general.
I've tried the Volume Up/Down + Power and this does not work, as I stated originally.
I've also tried to do it from the adb shell, which also does not work.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't access recovery?
I"m having a similar issue. Holding volume up+down and power and releasing in any combination just boots the phone up. If I just hold volume up+down and power the phone alternates between the AT&T World Phone screen endless.
Yes u have to let go of the pwr button when the phone screen turns on

I've tried just about every combination of the Volume Up/Down + Power and no luck.
I've also tried the following ADB commands, with no luck, it just reboots the phone:
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot-boatloader
When I hold Volume Down + Power I get the a Yellow Triangle with a Android guy with a shove with the text "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
When I hold Volume Up + Power I get an Android guy with the following text: "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE"
For kicks, I tried to to flash a rooted update.zip via the Volume Down + Power way with the Samsung update software, the same way I have done with the Samsung Moment. Wasn't sure if it'd work, but worth a try.
Any one else have any ideas or suggestions?
Phishie, do you have a final release version? Or anything special about the phone you have?
I just press the two volume buttons first (to make sure theyre pressed before you hit power), then press the power button, as soon as the screen turns on, I let go of everything and it works just fine, no need to have ridiculously complicated instructions.
The trick is to make sure both volume buttons are pressed BEFORE you hit power. Then release. Easy as pie
Also, if you guys are having too much trouble, just download the one click root/unroot. It will run, boot your phone into recovery, then all you have to do is scroll to install packages with volume key and hit power. Done.
Trust me, I am making sure I'm pretty the keys completely. I've literally tried it fifty times by now.
And I've also tried the One Click Root. This does not boot the phone into recovery either. It just sits at the AT&T World Phone screen forever and will actually get stuck here and will not boot up normal even by pulling the battery and powering it back up. It'll just get stuck at the for-mentioned screen. I have to connect it to adb and reboot it there to get it out of the loop it's stuck in.
that doesnt sound good. Maybe you need to try a factory reset? are you running stock rom and everything?
When I first got the phone I did a factory reset.
Yea, it's completely stock to my knowledge. But I have a different ROM than the final release version that everyone else has. This is a pre-production device.
same problem
I try all the combos as well, no luck, would the combos be different for 2e vs 3e recovery?
I try combo, it powers on, the same thing happens, the at-t comes up, goes for a second, then screen brightens, wait a bit and then the home row buttons light up, hangs there... doesnt matter which kernel or which rom I flash, same thing, adb and other stuff wont work as they need usb debugging enabled, which mine isn't.
Is there a way to mod the phone files and flash to enable usb debugging? Anyway to remap the buttons to 2 button vs 3 button?
Everyone post your methods for entering recovery please?
I flashed this rom ( Sprint_HTC_One_1.31.651.2_Stock_Rooted ) . Phone booted and touch screen stopped working. I'm in a rough situation because the phone also will not reboot. I've tried holding all buttons, just the power button, the power and volume down button. No resolve. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this phone reboot (besides waiting for battery to drain lol )so I can try to install another rom and see if touch screen comes back. Thanks
You need the newest firmware it sounds like

I cant do anything with the phone though because its stuck on the lock screen. Cant touch anything and cant get it to reboot
Oh and I accidently posted in the wrong section... wasn't sure if I should just leave it up or delete it
Just ask the dev to move it....hold the power button and volume down then release power after about 7 secs and press it again but keep volume pressed the whole time to get to boot loader then go to recovery from there

that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die

Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader
If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down
The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen

If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot
I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for

hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader
Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.
Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.
Did you get it done atleast?

When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314952
I have an xperia z with unlocked bootloader and recently flashed a customised 5.1.1 rom, observing that the phone was overheating abnormally (60°c with only a few apps running) I thought a wipe and reset would help me, so got into recovery (twrp) wiped data and cache without touching internal.
Once done I dint see it telling me that SuperSU is missing and accidentally skipped it (I already have root) . The phone started rebooting and went blank. I think the only option is to flash stock again but I wanted a clarification on the use of buttons..
Vol+ + power restarts it again to the blank screen.
Vol- + power or vol+ + power to start the phone again lands me to blank screen after logo
Now to turn it off again Im holding all the three buttons, it vibrates once and reboots if I leave , if I still hold it after one vibration, it now vibrates three times and turns off.
Can anyone explain what exactly are these vibes in the last point , is it kind of a reset , can it help me any way in the future? (I'm still a noob, I just follow the instructions and have used a lots of roms on lots of phones)
I'm soooo sorry for making it a long story, its my first question..
Welcome
Because XZ doesn't have removable battery buttons combination is kinda way of pulling battery out. You only hold power button and volume up together, first vibration is rebooting device, and if you hold little more until you feel 3 vibrations it's power off, as you find out your self.
All the Best.

Oh thank you
So I don't have to be further trying to mess with the buttons and just flash a fresh rom. Thanks
