I was experimenting on the new Rogers ROM in the Kitchen, to see why myself and everyone was having such problems. Of course I made a backup using XDATools to my SD first. (testing to see if I take off all or some of the check marks to add folders and programs if it could be stable.
But it did not work, still got the crap rom with no phone and loads of other problems. So decided to rebuild from SD, worked fine, told me to hard reset and then hard reset in a minute again. I have done this several times with out a problem.
Now after waiting I push the hard reset NOTHING, push all buttons nothing happens. Completly dead. After a while I was able to get back to the bootloader and download SD card ROM again but after hard reset its still dead. Any IDEAS!!!!

I have searched the forum for several hours, but I could not find a solution to the issue I am having. When I do a hard reset, hit send to begin the format, I get an error saying FORMAT Failed, so it boots back up as if it was just a soft reset. I really need a hard reset, but I am not sure how to make this happen. I have reloaded the ROM several times, but it still does not take and comes up just like a soft reset. I went into bootloader and flashed it that way, but still no go. If anyone could help me find a way to rectify this issue, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Here are the steps I take
Hold the comm mgr button and the record button at the same time, while hitting reset button, then I get the screen that says
Press Send to restore
factory default,
Other keys to quit
I then hit the Send button, then it says
FORMAT FAT partition
then really fats, it flashes "Format is failed"
I have no idea what to do next, as I can not get my factory default settings back.
Please help. I would appreciate it GREATLY.
try using a different ROM or a more recent rom. if you can sucessfully upgrade the ROM then it should be able to hard reset.
I have downgraded and updated to different roms, but I still have the same problem. Appreciate the advice. thanks
Interesting post.
I got my mini s on Thursday and after initionaly starting the device, i done a soft reset before the o2 crap was installed (to avoid the o2 extended rom loading), but was then curious as to how my xda mini s would perform with the o2 crap installed, but i cannot hard reset my device. I have followed all the hard reset instructions but it doesnt even give me the option of pressing the send button, all that happens is a soft reset.
It would be handy to know how to overcome this problem for future reference, in case i need to hard reset.
BTW i am happy with device without the o2 crap installed.
did you try going into settings and clearing storage?
i never heard of hard resetting not working before myself
Good point, so I just cleared storage, and BAM, it came up as a hard reset, so I am factory installed. Thanks for the idea, I can not believe I did not think of that. Appreciate your help. Just weird how the hard reset would not do it, thats pretty strange.
glad it worked
if anything, i thought the settings method would have less likely worked compared to the hardware method

Same here - I got mine last week, and the damned shop had obviously demo'd it to someone before they gave it to me (gave being the operative word as I got it on a free upgrade).
Was a bit narked to find loads of contacts in (obviously a SIM copy) and tried to hard-reset using the 2 buttons & reset and it only ever worked once after much pfaffing - is there a knack in the presses/time etc?
This morning my MDA Vario 2 says that my storage card is not installed. It flashed up as empty just before it dissappearred. THere wasn't anything on it that wasn't backed up somewhere but I would like to find out what has happenned and sort it out.
I am going to do a hard reset as I haven't done one for a long time and the device is ready for one anyway and then I need to see what has happenned. Has anyone any ideas?
fixed
It was obviously just objecting to being so 'dirty' as after a full reset its fine again.
Hi All,
A couple of days ago, my HD was slow to respond so I did a soft reset. However, it got stuck on the 'smart mobility' startup message and wouldnt go any further.
As a test, I reflashed a radio via the SD card but this had no effect either. So I bit the bullet and reflashed another ROM from the SD card. This seemed to work and the new ROM loaded as normal but after a couple of soft resets the same thing happened (wouldnt go past 'smart mobility' on boot).
Today I flashed HardSPL again via SD but that didnt seem to work. Now my device goes straight into bootloader mode and says 'Upgrade ROM code error Please try again'.
Ive started to pull my hair out on this one, so any advice is much appreciated at this point!!
What next steps can I take?
remove the battery for 30 minutes or so then try flashing a stock ROM from SD, if you haven't yet. Also you can try flashing via RUU, just remove the SD from the slot.
If that doesn't help, perform a hard reset...
I managed to get it going by reflashing hardspl and putting on a new rom. However after a few reboots, the phone just keeps getting stuck at 'smart mobility'.
I cant keep doing hard resets as this happens everytime after soft restarting.
If the problem persists with a stock ROM and original SPL, take it back to you vendor for repair/replacement.
Ive managed to get it going with stock SPL and panosha rom.
Is it possible a corrupt memory card is causing this as now its removed, the issues no longer happen (or is it just coincidence)?

Could be a coincidence. If you revert back to the ROM that kept failing, what happens now?
Thats actually the ROM ive been having issues with (sticking with it as I know something else is at fault here, not the ROM).
I havent tested very much yet, just using another phone for now until I get more time.
I have a X10i & I rooted it fine with all the previous roms & when I ran cleanme.cmd for 026 after editing and deleting some rows, everything seemed fine.
I noticed that my phonebook & a bunch of other things where missing so therefor I decided to unmount the SD-card inside the phone & format it & then reset the phone & everything seemed fine, but when I started the phone & wrote the SIM-PIN code & pressed OK Timescape crashed. I press the button to force it, but it just keeps coming back.
I've tried to repair the phone with SE Companion, but it won't work.
Is there some way to hard reset by pushing some buttons like for the X1-version?
hard reset..???
i didn't find any information about hard rest on google search....all there is soft reset info. which is done through erase all from settings menu
having some random crashes from last few days, tried all firmwares nothing worked so lastly formatted my memory card and everything is fine...
but if i try to use backup and restore and restore contacts through it crashes again and then its impossible to start the phone though i do feel small vibration... i have to remove battery for 5-10 seconds and then put in again, but after restart all contacts are deleted which were restored through backup nd restore..
so it seems there is some problem with backup i made, so now i ve made new contacts and its working fine..
but still 3/10 times when i restart my phone it doesn't start and i have to remove battery...can anybody please advise me wot to do.?
tried everything every firmware rooted or unrooted, tried using without memory card, without using wifi, without downloading any software or backup, still it crashes a bit and around 3/10 times when i restart my phone..it does shutdown properly but does not starts iven if i plug in the charging cable....i have to have to remove battery most of the time..
is there a way to hard reset like there is for x1 ... any ideas devs..?
please help i ve also got iphone but dont want to use it..more addicted to x10 but this problem is giving me hard time
thanks
Ok, searching these threads is like looking for a needle in a hay stack...
I have dl'd the android for the HD2 last night, and it worked, minus a little feed back that I got in the speaker. Forgot to charge my phone last night and now CLRCAD won't run. " The file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's compnents cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have done that. formatted the sd card and tried to reinstall, same thing happens.
Thought that it might be the radio version that I have, tried to use HSPL to change that, won't work.
Nothing seems to want to make android work again. Glad I haven't bricked this thing though.
Any suggestions on how I can get it to work again?
me too the same problem please help
problem resolved hard reset the device and reboot.
THANK YOU !!! now to load everything back up.
plzzzz
my problem is same as above...
after hard reset also wont help to load CLRCAD..
i tried hard reset, soft reset and format memory card...
but still cant load CLRCAD...
helppp...
Task 29. Reinstall the rom and radio. Put a fresh version of the android build in your sd card. And try boot into android.
