I screwed up the registry (one of the folders in HKLM got renamed), the phone rebooted by itself, and now it gets stuck at the "Touch Diamond" screen with the red text at the bottom.
The hard reset doesn't seem to be working for me (holding down vdown + enter, and hitting reset). The phone just reboots and gets stuck at the screen with the red text again.
I pulled the battery out for about 10 min, put it back in, and tried holding down vdown + enter while turning on the phone. Again, it gets stuck at the screen with the red text.
I can get the 3 colour screen to come up by holding down vdown + power + reset but I don't know what to do with it after.
I have the Telus Diamond. Hope someone can help!
I have read other posts from owners of the CDMA diamond, and the hard-reset button sequence is the same. Just make sure you hold down the VOL-DOWN and ACTION BUTTON (round center button) even after letting go of the reset button. That might be your problem...letting go of the buttons too early.

I hold them til I get stuck at the screen with the "Touch Diamond" and the red text at the bottom. I even tried holding it for awhile after that screen appears.
Hmmm...I guess there are others here that own the CDMA-version and can confirm the hard reset sequence is the same. But if you can get it into bootloader and then plug in the USB cable (with the "USB" indicator showing), then you should be able to flash a CDMA-specific ROM (possibly from Telus).
You can always use Clear Storage from the System tab in settings. It's quite the same, really!

I can't even get windows mobile to load. The phone gets stuck where it shows "Touch Diamond" with some red text at the bottom (I think that's the version of the hardware).

Yes, I've tried that, but it acts like I'm doing a soft reset. I've tried holding vdown and enter for over 30 seconds after hitting the reset button (yes the buttons are pushed even before/during reset button is pushed)

Hi, what do you mean by bootloader?
If you mean the screen with the 3 colours I have been there. It says Serial on the bottom and if I plug in my USB it says USB.
good news!
Well if you want to hard reset your telus device, its a little different. Dont know why, but it was a little trial and error for me and my diamond.
Goes like this:
Hold vol. Down, Center button, and POWER (tricky one) and then press reset. let go of reset and you should be good.
Dont know why they dont TELL us these things...

Excellent! Using that combination of keys, I was able to get to the hard reset confirmation screen twice in two attempts, after failing miserably without the Power button! It's just the contortions required to get the Power button at the same time that's a challenge!

Alright!
Well glad I could be of some help, considering how much help the others in the fora have given me.
It just irks me that even the product manual that comes with the Telus Diamond gives us the wrong combination of keys for the hard reset. Bet you that customer service would be useless here as well.

It worked like a charm. I posted the solution on HoFo as well, cuz I'm sure there'll be a lot of hard resets coming soon. Thanks so much for your help.

I e-mailed HTC tech support yesterday morning, and this was their reply:
===========================================
Thank you for your inquiry about the hard reset process for the Telus Diamond.
I understand that you had issues performing the hard reset with the Touch Diamond. The printed instructions are correct. Pressing reset is sometimes difficult with the Diamond model, but the Reset button simply powers the device off and back on. I recommend my customers remove the back cover to get better access to the Reset button. By holding Volume Down and Enter and powering on the device from an off state, it begins the hard reset process. When you use the Reset button, you simply ensure the device will turn off, then back on while holding the other keys.
We appreciate you letting us know about this issue.
===========================================
I e-mailed them back to tell them they were wrong (again). I also advised him that it's physically impossible to reset the device without taking the cover off, as he was apparently unaware of that, either. I'd like to see a video of one of their people trying to reset the phone using their instructions.

So I was texting on my Fuze and it froze. I hard reset it and now it won't start back up. Im using the latest Mercury Energy rom. It starts up, goes to where it plays the start-up sound and says "Energy Rom 3.0" and then stops. I have the touch response installed on it and it still vibrates when u touch it, so I dont think its too bad. Please Help! Thanx

then reflash?
tryed holding the buttons and it didnt do anything.
He's advising that you hard reset. That's what I'd do, too, but if it continues to hang, flash a stock rom. You may need to go into bootloader manually if you do it over usb.
Fixed it please delete.
hard rest verizon phones
i think that verizon has ****ed the customers when i comes to hard resetting i think that they disable the option when you are try to do it with the whole volume button power button the reset thing i have gone through two phones because of this but now i found program that was leaked and it does it for me you go into that mode where you get that multiple colored screen and then once you plug you phone into your computer and then you run it and it hard resets the phone
that would be great if you can share how do you it with us, so any body have this problem can be fixed without asking too much.
So I have been trying to overcome the issue of power + vol up (held for 10, 15 seconds\ and more) not working on my device. No matter how long I hold the two it just won't reset the device.
At first I figured it could be kernel as that is the lowest code that I've knowingly changed.
Changing to back to stock kernel did not fix it.
I thought it could be any sort of thing so I redownloaded the NL 434 firmware and then also universal generic 434 firmware and flashed back to completely stock with flash tool, doing all wipes and excluding nothing.
Neither of those firmwares fixed the issue, the hard reset function still won't work on my device.
Additional info:
Both buttons function fine individually and can see no obvious reason to suspect it's a hardware fault (though see that it is feasible, just less likely).
I can confirm that it was working initially.
I have an unlocked boot loader.
The last time I can remember it functioning was prior to boot loader unlocking - the first thing I flashed after unlock was cm10.1 and I got stuck in sideload mode with no hard reset to get me out lol
Otherwise the device is fully functional. For the time being I am back on KA07 xperia revolution rom, with advanced stock kernel (cwm) from DooMLoRD.
If anyone has any suggestions or insight it would be greatly appreciated if you'd drop a comment :good:
EDIT:
I've restored back to 350 with EMMA, but to no avail . It did however tell me that my boot version is : 1264-2309 S1_Boot_Lagan_1.0_2
Is there anyway to change the bootloader :S
After getting home I tried re-locking the bootloader which didn't work.
really starting to wonder if I should be taking it back in as hardware fault.. wonder how that will go since I unlocked the BL
If anyone would be so kind as to do a quick test for me, would you please be able to go into service mode (open dialer type *#*#7378423#*#*) then go into service tests and select the buttons and switches one (I think that's what it's called )
When you hold down the volume up or down button, is it registering as 1 press, or several, continuous presses?
Cheers

Not entirely sure what you are asking, keyboard and switch, volume up only shows as volume up and volume down as just volume down, regardless if you hold it down or press it over and over again, or if you just press it once. Not sure if I am an idiot, but I couldn't work out how to test the keyboard from there.Although one interesting part is that is states it is not a test for the softkeys, but tests them fine

Yeah that was the menu I meant.. couldn't remember lol. Ok so when I would hold down volume up it plays a repetitive tone and the text on screen states "vol up", then "vol up vol up" for the longer I hold it (and the beep/sound keeps replaying... confusing sounding I know
When you hold the volume up botton down, does it just beep once and display vol up (exactly like if you were to press it once and release)?
Basically if I were to press it once, the phone would make a sound and the screen would display "vol up"
If I hold it down however it will register as a new press and the "vol up vol up" texts keeps refreshing as-though it was a new key press.
Also thank you very much for checking it out :victory:

Yep exactly as you say here.
Volume up once shows just volume up beeps once, twice shows volume up twice and beeps twice . Holding it down beeps over and over again and shows volume up twice.
Pressing volume down once from here (volume up volume up) shows volume up volume down, press volume down once more now shows volume down twice.
Hope this helps

Yeah it helps that I can probably assume that my buttons work fine.. I was thinking maybe they weren't registering as long pressed or something but apparently not this is really frustrating. Especially when an app freezes and I just have to sit there indefinitely till it comes back online or the battery goes flat
And I have no idea if it's something I did or something with the phone.
All I know for sure is that brand new it did work as I hard reset a couple times. Then I unlocked the bootloader and have no memory of it working since then... It makes no sense to me why completely returning to stock and relocking the bootloader has no effect though.

Yeah, I could imagine. You will have to find a cool fast battery draining game to help you along .
Not sure that it would be related to you unlocking the boot loader, otherwise I am sure quite a few would have mentioned that before now.
Do you even get the first vibrate confirmation? Have you tested the vibrate from the same service test menu?

That what I'm thinking - can I seriously be the only one having this problem. And why the hell does everything else work perfectly fine lol.
And no I don't get any sort of response (vibration or anything). Normally it just results in the volume turns up then the screen locks or display just times out but even after a minute of holding pwr + vol up nothing happens and the phone is simply in sleep mode. Otherwise vibration works fine.. currently I'm restoring the backup I made of the out of the box stock rom.. that's pretty much the absolute last thing I can think of that might do anything. Trouble is I don't remember if I made the backup before or after unlocking the bootloader.. can't remember if I flashed a custom kernel to get CWM or installed it otherwise...

I would recommend re unlocking the bootloader, the problem is a kernel level driver or hardware but it is definitely around that level.
Did you have any problems, or errors when you first unlocked the bootloader? Maybe Doomlord could give you some of his incredible knowledge on the subject

No the phone is 100% operational outside of the hard reset not working. It is just when I get stuck in a app that freezes or when CWM recovery tricks out and freezes I have to leave the phone for ages till either it a)unfreezes after an hour or so somehow, or b) the battery dies and it shuts off after a couple or more hours.
When your phone is out of action every second day simply cause you can't turn it off it gets pretty annoying haha. If it had a removeable battery I could easily live with it and just rip the batt out no dice.

Already tried that but no luck.
Stranger still is that I've began to notice that in flash mode the LED briefly flick green once then turns off when entering flash mode. Flash mode is still active, it just appears as though the phone is off :/
I'm trying to do a hard reset using volume/power keys but cannot do it for the life of me. I've tried all variations from doing searches but just can't seem to get it to boot into recovery mode.
Any help much appreciated.
Button next to micro sim
there is a small recessed orange button located next to the nano sim slot. Take a paper clip and push the button and hold it for 3 seconds. Your phone should vibrate 3 times and fully shut down.

I'm a Z1 Compact user (my Z3C coming soon!) - not sure how relevant this is for Z3C, but for Z1C, there is no stock "recovery" to get into. Only Flashmode and Fastboot mode from the OFF position. Maybe Z3C is the same...
If by "hard reset" you mean, to wipe the phone and start it fresh, can you do it via the settings? (Settings -> Backup & Reset)?

I've found the hardware wipe to be more comprehensive than the software wipe. For example, when I wiped my Z3 Compact in the past to try and clear a camera fault, some of the Sony (cr)apps weren't there after. I had to send the handset off for repair (camera fault still there) and it's come back with the firmware reflashed with some of the tat back - specifically the Xperia Now bit when you swipe up the home icon.
Maybe flashtool is the answer?
Hello everybody,
First of all, please forgive my time to time poor english. I tried to fill in my presentation and hope it's ok.
I also want to thanks all the developpers that make a great job to optimise and/or improve stock roms and to help people like me that are not so good in developping.
Let me explain my problem :
I've just bought the Samsung note 9 SM-N960F/DS I was dreaming of.
when I put my sim card inside (a french one) he went on a firmware update, and my phone changed for a french CSC (XEF). Thus, I losed some functions I like, such as SpO2 measure in Samsung Health (I know, it's not so important but...). I couldn't also force the sound in earplugs when phone whas ringing, even by using "Soundabout apk" that was working with my note 4....
I don't know why Samsung changes the available functions regarding the country as we pay the same price for in fact a bunch of functions !!!
I tried to come back to the initial CSC, by flashing an official rom, and following a tutorial on XDA site explaining how to do without rooting, using combination files.
But I certainly made an error as my phone has restarted in a curious mode named "kernel panic upload mode" that I cannot escape. It's impossible to go back to download mode, even with combo like vol down + start button, or other combinations of buttons.
This phone wasn't rooted and i'm afraid now as I don't know how to flash a working rom on it. Whem I use Odin, the flashin fails at beginnig (at setup connection step).
Does somebody have an idea or a solution to fix this phone?
I join some picture of the current state.
Thanks for your answers

I can't go back to recovery mode nor to download mode...
Odin says "added" but can't setup connection...
Have you flashed with this PC before using Odin? Can you possibly try another PC? Maybe different USB cables just to eliminate possibilities.

It could be that the drivers are no good. It is also possible that you may need a warranty exchange. I'm not aware of any other boot-loader level recovery process besides odin. Maybe even try another version of odin that is known to work with our note 9.

The Kernel Panic Upload Mode doesn't prevent the phone from booting to Recovery.
1. Make sure your phone is completely powered off.
2. Press and hold the Bixby button and the Volume up button.
3. Press and hold the Power button. At this point you should be holding down three buttons. Don't let these go until you see the Recovery screen pop up.
That's really all there is to it. If you have a case that goes over your buttons it's possible you aren't pressing down hard enough for one or more of the buttons to register.

Not to nit-pick,but,when the phone is fully powered down,the simultaneous 3-button push can be released as soon as you see the Note 9 splash screen & the recovery screen should pop-up within a few seconds.
Only reason I mention it is possibly the OP is experiencing issues by holding one or more of the buttons in too long,(just spit-ballin' here on this point)............

Hi Koliosis, and thanks for your help.
In fact, I even cannot power down the phone !!!
The only thing he does except showing kernel panic is to quickly flash on samsung splash screen when I push together vol down and power button, before to go back on panic kernel screen:crying:
No splash screen with bixby + vol up + power buttons combo...
The problem came after a failed flash with combined files (the good ones for my phone, I verified...)
Is there another way to reinitialise the phone except via Odin or Smart switch?

You got me there, I haven't used ODIN since the Note 5 days, LOL. (FWIW, I boot to recovery for cache wipe, otherwise, that's as deep as I've gotten into a Samsung device for quite some time).

I cross all I can !!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To get the Note 9 into download mode, do the following:
Turn the device off. Hold the volume down and Bixby button together and then plug in your USB cable that is attached to your PC. Your phone should go into download mode.
As this requires the phone to be off, you may get lucky once the battery runs out of charge.
Good luck

I've never had an issue with holding the buttons too long, but I have had an issue with not holding them long enough. I let go of the buttons as soon as the Recovery screen comes up and I haven't once had an issue with that. I think he'd have to hold the buttons for several seconds past the Recovery screen booting up before this caused an issue.

Is there another way to reinitialise the phone except via Odin or Smart switch?

Okay, now we're on the same page. You have to be FAST with this.
1. Plug in a charging cable. This will give you the LED charging indicator on your phone.
2. Hold Power+Bixby until the charging indicator turns off. Once the charging indicator turns off you have to be VERY quick with step 3.
3. Press and hold Power+Bixby+Volume Up until you see the Recovery screen.
I was stuck in a bootloop after installing a Magisk module, and this happened to me as well. Every time I would power the phone down it wouldn't stay powered down. I had to be very fast to get into Recovery. It took me a couple of tries to press and hold the buttons quickly enough. That was partially because the case on my phone made pressing the buttons a bit more difficult.

To get the Note 9 into download mode, do the following:
Turn the device off. Hold the volume down and Bixby button together and then plug in your USB cable that is attached to your PC. Your phone should go into download mode.
As this requires the phone to be off, you may get lucky once the battery runs out of charge.
Good luck

I've never had an issue with holding the buttons too long, but I have had an issue with not holding them long enough. I let go of the buttons as soon as the Recovery screen comes up and I haven't once had an issue with that. I think he'd have to hold the buttons for several seconds past the Recovery screen booting up before this caused an issue.

Thanks to you both
Doesn't work as well :crying:
Is there another way to force connection with the PC in order to flash a rom again? Another "magic" application like odin but more powerfull?
The only thing that im aware of is very legacy like QPST. Im not sure if QPST is able to handle the newer phones tho. You can definitely ruin your phone with it too.
Hi again Enzyme
I looked on Google for QPST. But it seems it's only for Qualcom powered phones... mine is Exynos powered. ..
