I went to use some of my apps today and the icons were missing.. browsed to the start menu (using Resco file explorer) and the shortcuts were missing/there were some invalid files there.
Restarted.. and it's stuck on the sprint yellow bootup screen..
Has anyone else seen this?
How can I perform a hard-reset on this phone? (holding com mgr/voice com button and pressing reset didn't do it.. neither did holding both soft keys/resetting..)
-mark
hard reset = hold down both soft keys and hit reset pin. don't let go of the soft-keys until the white screen comes up asking for a reset..
-mark
Just an update -
hard-resetting/restoring backup fixed the issue.. Not sure what had happened though.. I will report if it ever happens again.
(rebooted at the wrong time maybe?)

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."

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

Hello
I took my friends xperia to install some applications when it happens this:
After i installed AEK software Keyboard Mapper the system asked me to soft reset the device to apply some settings.(The device during this procedure was connected via usb with the pc)
I press "yes" and as usual at the start up appears the sony ericsson logo then the experia logo and finally the device is active.But in my case the phone when it comes to the experia logo freezes..The screen remains illuminated but blank and when iam touching the screen(which is blank) i can hear the sounds of clicking.In this state if i want to shut down the device the only method is to take off the battery.I tried to hard reset the device(when its closed) but unfortunately it wont allow me to do so(i tried with all the possible ways to hard reset the device).At first i thought that the device had hasnt too much battery.I fully charged it and i tried again getting the same results.Please, can anyone tell me what to do?
Edit: After several tries it came up this message "The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tries to install an application from untrusted source.Press volume up to reset or press any other button to cancel etc" Iam pressing the volume up button but nothing happens.Please can you tell me how to hard reset the device?
Here is a link to soft/hard reset tutorial
Hi
I assume you have removed and reinserted the battery?, try this first, if that doesn't work go here.

Might have to hard reset, if you didn't install a safe mode boot program.

Thanks Ian but apparently you didnt read all the lines i wrote.I said "i tried to hard reset the device with all the possible ways but didnt work" including this way you send me.Thanks anyway
Problem solved
Doing this:
without using the stylus is to switch off the phone,
hold down right and left button (under the screen)
while holding down switch on the phone
release the switch button while holding the two others
then a grey screen must appear saying to push "r" to hard reset or "x" to cancel
push "r" on the keyboard and you're done
i installed the Ezinput from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536215 for wvga... i installed it, then it said a reset is required to finish intallation. after the reset, it went to the touch diamond 2 boot up screen, after that was over, then screen displayed nothing. its black, and usb does not respond when i connect it to the computer. any ideas? i already tried the reset using teh red button. took out the memory card, where i install the .cab, still doesnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it's totally unresponsive from boot, hard reset it. Hold Volume Down and press the "red button" to reset it. It'll go back to factory settings.
same problem here, help needed!!
i tried to restore it to the factory setting using volume down and red button but when the phone flashes it shows me this three color screen with the message "serial" on the bottom side of the screen, any ideas on what should i do???
thanks in advance...
To perform a Diamond 2 hard reset
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 a message on the screen.

What you did is boot in "bootloader mode"; in that mode you can try to flash again the original ROM.
thanks
thanks a lot guys, your help is well appreciated, i finally managed to flash the phone bios and now trying to install the original rom, thank you again
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...

Seba
