How can you format the Wizard without turning it on? Is that possible? Can I boot into a safe mode?!?!? I'm really in a jam, someone please help. Thanks.
-Ross
you can hard reset by holding the comm manager button along with the voice command button then while holding those down press the soft reset hole with the stylus and it will hard reset. to get it into safe mode, the only way i know is if you have pocke+ installed and after failed boot attempt it will prompt you for safe mode. You can also boot it in usb mode, that will allow you to update the rom through the pc.
Thank you so much. The comm manager and voice command trick worked like a charm.

I have installed a program that the device din't like, now it doen't boot anymore, I only see the start up screen.
How can I start over and delite what is on, if I can not start up?
The hard reset is not working, any ideas?
Soft reset or Hard reset.
You try this for HR : "Hold the comm manager buton and the voice command button at the same time.
While holding these push the soft reset button. Keep your fingers on the Comm and voice Manager buton. After about five seconds a screen will appear asking you to press the green send button.
That's it."

Hi my tmobile wing that i bought off the craigslist is stuck on the main screen with tmobile and is not going beyond it
can some one please help me how can i make this phone work again
Try a hard reset
(hold down both soft keys and poke the stylus through the hole on the side of the phone under the volume slider)
If that doesn't work, you need to install this :
T-MOBILE STOCK RUU
In order to run this, you'll need to plug your phone to your PC via USB, then go into bootloader mode ... which means you need to hold down the camera button (and keep it down) while you soft reset (poke stylus through hole under volume slider)
When your phone is in bootloader mode, and plugged into USB, it should show "USB" in the corner... once that happens, run that file which will take the phone back to factory settings.

Wont Run Bootloader
I have tried holding the camera button and soft resetting multiple times, but it keeps getting stuck on the tmobile screen? What do i do??
After I flashed a ROM for the just clean oven, I had this same problem.
I fixed it (after many hours) by downloading this ROM:
http://www.mediafire.com/?clvw3cvyclo
Entering bootloader (hold in camera button and soft-reset.)
Running the tmobile rom.
It was very strange, it took 3 or 4 tries, but it eventually worked.
I don't understand why, since I did nothing differently, but try it afew times.
Hope you get it up and running soon!
BTW, what are your SLP numbers shown on the bootloader screen?
thx really worked
tryed like 4 times then it worked

...worked for me as well. Now, I'm too chicken to run the Hard SPL.
Yesterday was installing the drivers for the Redfly viewer on my XDA Mini. When the drivers had finished installing, the device soft reset and wouldn't get past the O2 splash screen. I've been browsing the web for possible solutions but haven't found a definiative answer. Can anybody give me some advice to possible fix my XDA?

This will erase all data and restore your phone to factory default settings.
Hard reset sequence: Press VoiceDial button + Comm Manager button + soft reset.
nah, it hasn't done anything still stuck on O2 splash screen. Thanks anyway

Fixed it, then you need to keep holding down the two buttons while pushing the d-pad, then when prompted pushing the talk button
To perform a HTC HD2 Leo hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see a message on the screen telling you this will erase xxxxxxxx......
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Soft Reset
If i may add,
A soft reset,
1. Open the back with your thumb or finger
2. The RESET button is located below the bottom left slot for the battery and the SIM card. Use a small object with a blunt point like a toothpick to the RESET button.
3. Your phone will restart and the Home screen appears.
Correct me if im wrong,
Sorry im a newb, but what is the precise difference between hard and soft reset?
Will a soft reset delete stuff such as contacts, pictures and music? And will hard reset do the same?
thanks smaberg...
you should add the two other methods to the first post
there is the soft-reset button (little red button) and a software method (clear storage).

the "software" method (clear storage) is a hardreset, witch means you will restore it to factory default, deleting all info on phone...
the softreset only restarts the phone.
after flashing a new ROM i always recomend a hardreset afterwards, to be sure to get rid of all leftovers...
(Useful if flashing a rom and battery is less than 50%)
Enter bootloader mode:
Momentary press the red reset button on the back of the device, near the sd card slot, while holding the volume down button. Keep pressing on the Volume down till you see the bootloader screen. If you did not have volume down pressed as you were pressing on the reset button the device is just gonna reset and no change will take place.
Else, you will see "serial" written on the bottom middle of the screen if you're not connected to the PC via USB cable yet. "USB" will replace "Serial" when windows recognizes the device. Once on this state, you can press "next" on the rom installer where you have to acknowledge you connected the device via USB and your battery is grater than 50% and so on and so on.
You can start the installer on the PC prior to connecting the device in Bootloader mode. I don´t know what happens if you enter bootloader while connected to the PC (if you don't either, don't do it!!)
Note: I advise against using this mode with less than 10% or so. I guess you could end up with largest screened brick in the market.
To clarify previous posts:
Hard reset: Resets the device to factory defaults or to the last rom you installed.
How?
-Hardware method: combo of hardware buttons (described above)
-Software method: slide through HTC sence till "Settings" bar and select "Security" (top option). Then select "Factory resets" (last option). To my knowledge it does absolutely the same thing as the hardware method. correct me if I'm wrong.
Soft Reset: changes you made will take effect after the device resets (installed apps or reg edits...) OR you got to a sticky situation and you need to reset to get everything running smooth again (device shows abnormal operation of some kind).
How?
-Software method: Hold the power button till the quick list appears and press "power off" option on the top. You can also be presented with this option after installing some apps or after changing something within an app.
-Hardware method: remove the back cover and press the little red button near the sd card slot. Useful if the device stops responding and you are unable to soft reset by any other way.
Enter Bootloader Mode: allows for flashing devices in any battery state. It doesn't do anything by itself, just allows roms to be flashed. Some people have gotten stuck on this screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599259, so use the search tool and read up before using. After flashing a rom you will loose every setting and file you had on the device itself. SD card will remain untouched (or so it should). I've read people advising to remove the card prior to flashing. Not exactly sure as to why. Files saved to the SD will remain intact. Apps installed on the SD card (aka. "Storage") will remain intact, only not registered or linked with shortcuts anymore. The device basically doesn´t know they exist.
How?
-Harware method: button combo (described above).
-Software method(ish): If you don't have to manually enter bootloader, the rom installer will take your device through this step without you having to do anything besides connecting through USB (activesynk, I guess) and running the RUU_LEO_xxx.exe file. You will see a progress bar on both PC and device as the rom is flashed.
Note: Reseting the device (turned on) while pressing a key (ex.: vol down) does the same thing as pressing the power button (with the device turned off) while pressing that same button (vol down).
Maybe you could transfer this info to the 1st post and clean up the thread a bit... Even, this could be at the Wiki section. Or better, a link on the Wiki to this thread
Hi guys,
I tried with both volume up and down pressed to hard reset, but not really successful. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

did u press power while pressing vol up/down?
Well, for entering bootloader mode, you can do it in "software mode" without having a PC connected to your PPC.
You can just run EnterBootloader.exe from your device.
(see attachment)

yes, I did. But when pressing I do not feel that is actually "making contact" I tried several times...
I will try with the bootloader from above...let's see...
Thanks and regards,

If, for some reason, you cant hard reset using the power button, you can always press the reset button on the back of the device while pressing both vol up and down. After the vibration, it will enter the hard reset menu (remember to keep pressing both vol buttons till this point).
By the way: were you pressing the power button and both vol buttons with the device turned off? Cuz, with it turned on, you are just cycle through the quick list and vol menu like crazy.
Yep...pressing with phone off.
I tried with the reset button from the back of the phone and it worked.
Thanks guys...

Hello to all of you!
My Tattoo has gone crazy lately...he deleted all my contacts, pictures and reset the settings...all when I switched it off and then turned it on. Ok I survived...
But yesterday when I turned my Tattoo on...he was stuck on the Tattoo screen and it was restarting itself on and on again...with no luck...then I pressed the buttons for hard reset, then the picture of the yellow exclamation mark appeared, and now I'm stuck with this Android System Recovery-which it's not working, I can't select anything, none of the buttons works...What Can I DO???? I have never made no changes to my tattoo, so it's not rooted or anything.
the system recovery says:
Android System Recovery
Use trackball to highlight;
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+back]
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
___________________
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Could someone tell me what to do now...please
Please someone?? I really don't know what to do!! I need my phone! PLEASE
Try downloading stock ROM from here http://htcpedia.com/official_rom_htc_wwe_for_htc_click_tatoo/soft/htc-tattoo-rom/download.html
Then try installing this ROM from Windows...I thing that you need to have htc sync also...
Thank you for helping me, I really appreciate it.
But that's the problem, my pc won't recognize the phone, I have installed the htc sync but when I insert the phone from usb nothing happens. and i can't go into the phone to check if usb debug is on or off. I also tried with adb but it says device not found....so I think there's nothing I can do...

Can you see some of these options? Did you try to download some of custom ROM and rename it to update.zip and then put it in root of sdcard and apply it? Im little confused with this....
Yes I see all of these options, but the problem is I can't select them or anything because none of te buttons work! I tried to put the ROM on the root of the sd card, but it make no sense because I cant select the option apply update.
Try Power+Home button (that is for recovery menu, but if your tattoo isnt rooted you should see only triangle with exclamation sign inside), then plug usb cable and then try installing stock ROM from post above...
With power+home button I see the recovery menu...it's just that nothing work in the recovery menu. I tried plugging the usb...the PC won't recognize it.
I told you I tried everything... I guess it's a hopless case
What about this?
To reset the phone using phone buttons
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons, and then briefly press the END CALL/POWER button.
2. Press the ENTER button to begin the reset process.
Tip If your phone hangs or freezes, remove the battery then wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
This one is the same but has a pic of tattoo...
http://www.howtoreset.com/HTC_Units/HTC_Tattoo_Hard_Reset_Soft_Reset.html
ha...this was my first try...unsuccsessful...it's like he can't do nothing else-just showing the triangle with exclamation mark and if I press home and power goes into recovery which doesn't work....that's all he can do..
F*uck i'm all out of ideas...
Yeah...don't tell me...

Here is what you can do:
After you started RUU wait until you get the prompt to proceed or until you get the usb error and don't close the application
Go to temp folder to get the rom.zip file
to go to temp folder type %TEMP% in the run command bar
copy the rom.zip to your favourite place and rename it to CLICIMG.zip
Now you can close the RUU install
place CLICIMG.zip in root of memory CARD and turnoff your phone
Boot in to HBOOT mode (power button + volume down keys)
wait for few seconds and install would start
I hope you have a memory card reader to place the file in to it
key for this to work is, you need to have right Tattoo RUU to get ROM.zip or have a goldcard to work any Tattoo RUU derived ROM.zip
True, i forgot about that
Thank you fo helping me. I tried but it doesn't work. The volume keys won't work...
can you check if you could boot to fastboot mode (hold both power button and back button)
From there you can
either reset your phone (menu button)
reboot to HBOOT (action button - centre button)
change to HBOOT (volume down button) - l know it doesn't work for you
or turn off the phone (left button)
If none of the buttons work, then you might need to send your phone to the doctor
Nope...it doesn't work....not to the doctor i will send the phone to the trash...
