I follow the steps in the instructions and get to the last step where it tells you to hard reset. I hold the 2 "-" buttons on the face and use my stylus to poke the little hole at the bottom but it doesnt hard reset. Am I doing something wrong?

Hold the two soft keys simultaneously, while using the stylus to poke the hole on the right side of your herald for 2-3 seconds, then remove stylus (while still pressing the soft keys simultaneously), then you'll see the option to hard reset your device and follow the directions.

Forget the reset hole. Turn off your wing. Then hold those two soft keys and turn in back on.

and procedure...
To perform a hard reset
• Press and hold both SOFT KEYS shown enclosed by circles in
the picture below. Keep these keys pressed, and at the same
time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button
on the left side of your device. Press either 0 to restore to factory
default or X to exit the hard reset process.
Thanks for this useful post.

After hard reset ...show ..tap screen to aligne screen...or similar...and nothing what ever I try to do, (cleaning, taping in every pixels of screen) and nothing. What is next ?
Help guys,
I've read the manual, but i am unable to HARD RESET my HTC Herald, I always SOFT RESET the phone because I have software applications problems - but I want to do a full hard reset, hoping it fixes the phone - (the SOFT RESET doesnt work).
I know you're supposed to hold the reset button down with your stylus after holding the two soft keys, but the moment I touch the Reset button with my stylus it immediatly soft resets...
Any ways to get around this?
you should be pressing the reset button WHILE holding the two soft keys. Make sure you keep holding them. The hard reset confirmation screen won't appear until you release them though

witch keys are the soft keys
On my Herald one only needs to press the two soft-keys, NOT the reset button on start up. In conclusion, 1. turn off device 2. turn on device and directly press the two soft-keys. By doing this at least I get some text on the screen and that I should press send to do a hard reset.
Hi folks.
There are two ways to hard reset the X1.
First way - Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage then enter the number 1234 and press Yes.
Second way - Press and hold the two silver keys (left and right) situated just below the screen. Now insert the stylus pen into the tiny hole which is situated around the bottom right of the back of the device for 5 seconds. Follow the on screen instructions.
It is advisable to back up your data before performing a hard reset.
FYI - a soft reset can be performed by ONLY inserting the stylus pen into the tiny hole for 5 seconds.
Thankyou mate, been looking for the tiny hole without success
Thought it was missing.
Very nice! Thanks for the info.
For those who can't find the tiny hole, you have to remove the battery cover.
Sorry forgot to mention that you have to remove the battery cover. Also the hole is situated where the stylus pen sits. So you have to remove the stylus pen in order to use the hole.
Thanks tjex for pointing it out.
Do you have to have a full battery before performing a hard reset?

No. Hardreset takes 5 seconds. But don't have your battery almost totally drained

You follow the the line where the stylus is inserted. Form bottom to top, you will encounter a rectangle, then the MicroSD slot, another rectangle and finally a round hole. This is it.
SOLVED:
in seconds
Power off you X1.
Hold down the two "Soft" keys and turn power back on to your X1..
Release the two key....
You should see the white screen with blue text asking if you want to restore to the "factory" default setting....Press "r"

Phew...
Needed the second option, as loaded some software on and it conflicted with some other that was on there - oh well bit of a spring clean as well!
Also might be worth pointing out that you need to enter the commands using the keyboard for the second option - me being a plank was hitting the X-panel button for ages before I realised what it was asking!!!
Well, there would be much less confusion if you said that you have to take battery lid out
How someone can not know about the reset hole is beyond me. I noticed in shop, before I actually bought the device.

Nice. thanhk Bro
You can also hard reset using Power button instead of reset button under( :-/ ) the battery cover.
Just turn off your phone, and press and hold both softkeys (silver ones) and just press the power button (do not hold it)
Strangely, when you want to access bootloader you hold the power button with volume down button until the bootloader appears.
Sorry, but I hardresetted it but nothing happens after the SE logo came and went away. I only got a black screen, someone help me please.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it. Had to wait some minutes
any other option to do it? i try both way, but can't... pls help...
I think you have to let go of either the power button or the hole button (depending on which method you're trying) before you let go of the two face buttons.
Thanks to every bodies. I have practised the soft and hard resets. The tiny hole is really not tiny but was hard to find.
Once again thanks!

Can not hard reset my device.
Guys, I've tried both methods,
Turn phone off, press left key, right key and power button, all at the same time..
and also have tried
Turn the phone off, press left and right key and using stylus to press reset button..
Tried both so many times, but just can not hard reset my device. Any ideas where I may be going wrong?
Hard Reset
Yes, i have same problem,i can t make hard reset.If i try i have only white dispay with blue sign .....pres R on keyboard for reset or press X for cancel....But i don t see any keyboard and if i try press any button nothing happen.For way go out from this situation i take out battery.Later i put back this battery turn onn and everythink return to normal. Out of reset.
I have the same problem. After two hard resets I can't hard reset. Problem is the phone restarts after entering PIN. I even tried an othen SIM card or no card at all but nothing happened. When I try to hard reset with the stylus it does absolutely nothing. If I try with the power button it doesn't hard reset, it starts normally. Any suggestions? Please help me, I've got the phone for just about 30 hours.

That's entirely right. If at the point that you get the display making you choose between reset or cancel, slide out your keyboard and press the given keys Should work just fine, have done it myself several times.
Hard reset
Thank you,perfect work.

dude thank a lot, i was getting upset, mad and scared, dunno why it got stuck at the green windows mobile screen, not going further.
that was hard to perform lol, hard-reset the "hard way" al by myself.
I have also experienced problems hard resetting the device and have resorted to Start>Settings>Clear Storage and it seems to have the same effect, no?

yeah.. clear storage is the same right??? hardreset ya?
can someone take a video on this 'hardreset'
i think this could be very helpful
thanks.
just hard reset my xperia after trying so many times like the others out there.
just wanna add additional info, you have to keep on pressing and holding the 3 keys (2 front keys and the reset button) until you get the blue screen.
if you press then simultaneously for just a few sec w/o waiting for the blue screen, you'll just soft reset your unit.
Been a while since I have been on here. I miss my Wing so I decided to reach out to you guys and maybe you guys have a solution. Last year while I was still using this phone, my screen would flicker white once in a while, then that progressed into only turning on when I slid open the LCD screen slightly. Meaning that when it was closed, it was black, couldn't use the touch screen, I would have to slide it open to use it or I would have to slide it partially to use it while it's semi-closed. Then finally one day the screen just went black and doesn't work anymore. I know the phone still works fine because I see the keys light up and I feel the phone vibrating. I took it apart thinking maybe the band of the screen was loose or cut, but it was perfectly fine, I even took off the band and put it back on to see if it would make a difference, still no difference. What do you think it can be?
try a hard reset:
press both soft keys and while press the soft keys press the soft reset key by ur stylus for about 3-5 seconds and then release the soft reset key still pressing the soft keys. when u release the soft reset key some instructions will appear to format the phone mem. remember to make a backup of all important data before proceeding.
if this doesnt work then try updating ur ROM ... i find flashing my herald with flashcenter to be the easiest way. you can find the HOW TO here on xda forum
