whats the difference between hard reset and soft reset
and how u carry out them?
A soft reset just clears down the files that were
operational when you pressed 'soft reset'. A hard reset starts up all the boot files loaded onto to your extended ROM.
Think of it like your windows registry, key files are restarted to give the k jam it's core operating system and provider features.
Soft reset is done using your stylus and the small 'pin hole' by the IR button on the right hand side of the phone.
The hard reset is a combination of buttons as explained in your manual.

I want to selectively install the extended rom, but I cannot seem to hard reset the device using power and reset hole. I can see the extended rom using total commander, but when I click to install one the program just installs forever. Any ideas?
Hard reset is the two soft keys while pressing the reset hole.
I used the "Stop" sign
It said it would return the device to faxtory settings. and did.thanks
Hi,
I am puzzled by the fact that I cannot hard reset my device at all via the hardware buttons. I can hard reset via clear storage, but cannot hard reset by holding explorer and gps button + soft reset button. This just doesn't work for me. The device does nothing. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Strange, with my device it´s the other way around. Can HR via buttons but not via clear storage. If someone has an solution for one or even better the both of us....don´t hesitate.
Hold the stylus pressed in that hole.
Press the two magic buttons.
Remove the stylus but keep the buttons pressed until you see the "welcome screen".
OK now?
Figured it out
Bloody HTC...trinity can HR with device off. Was use to that. With Polaris, it is required to have device on!
So Thanks Dimitri,
You order is correct. Just that the device must be turned on and booted into WM6 OS.
With regards to Clear Storage. Not sure how I can help. Could it be your ROM? I've only Clear Storaged with two ROMS. Bepe and the original manufacturer's ROM (Taiwainese Version). Had to reflash to Bepe to get English. Maybe try a different ROM?
Is there a way to do a hard reset when the screen freezes upon start up? The rom installed fine but when I went to change the theme it froze. I tried to do a soft reset but that is when began to freeze.

You need to either hard reset or reflash DCD. How many programs did you install before this theme. Could be a bad file or another program you installed. Your phone isn't bricked, it's just stuck.
These are bricks.
Can you tell me how to do a hard reset? The only hard resets I've done are through the settings but I cannot get there. I have heard before that you can push a bush of hard bottuns all at once to do a hard reset. Is this right? Also, how do you do a reflash?

Hold both softkeys (next to red and green phone buttons, not windows or ok buttons) while pressing the reset button with your stylus. You will lose all your data and the phone will be reset to original default settings.
I won't explain flashing, read the Titan wiki in my signature.
I had some problems with my Touch Dual which forced me to reset it by means of the reset button. Now finally it seems that I've destroyed the button
Since I need Hard Reset (system is locked and I cannot enter the requested "a1b2c3" sequence) just removing the battery is not sufficient.
I there an alternative way to force a Hard Reset?
I think...
Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage
...is the same as a hard reset, other alternative is to reinstall a rom...
Reflash a ROM if you have one.
I also wouldn't be surprised to find there is an mtty command that does it too - check the wiki.
Is there an SSPL for the Niki that would allow people to run mtty commands? not sure but worth checking into...
Found out that with SKTool one can perform a hard rest, too. Works perfect and finally solves my reset button problem
BTW: HTC rejected to fix the button problem, very very very poor service ...
do they have a reset button, cos mine doesn't. i usually have to take the battery out.
which reset button, if you mean the little one in the back you can hard reset by holding red and green buttons when you switch on

Could you provide us with the following info:
Which rom are you currently using?
Have you recently flashed a new rom? Problem may be with this rom in particular
What is your current SPL?
When did this first start happening?
Have you recently installed any apps?
Have you recently changed any registry settings/tweaks?
This may help us narrow down your issue

Hi there abiis,
You can try resetting your phone back to factory settings by performing a Hard Reset. Try to uninstall any programs that you may have recently installed first that may be causing a conflict. You can backup any data on your phone (such as Contacts, Messages, etc) using PIMBackup before you perform a Hard Reset.
To perform a Hard Reset, try the following:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

i know this option but i need a solution without having a hard reset thanks any way
can't you just backup before hardreset ?
To be honest, I think a Hard Reset would resolve your problem with the dropped calls... but if you are unwilling to perform a hard reset, then I would suggest that you try sending your phone back to HTC for repair assuming it is still under warranty?
Best Regards.
well this depends greatly
which end call button is he using. if it the red software one then its a software problem, and this would be remedied with a had reset
if its the one on the bottom of the phone with the 4 button (start call, home, back and end call) then this could indicate a hardware issue and in that case i recommend a return to vendor
