Hey guys
I recently installed phone pad international on my phone. It worked fine at first then for some reason the T9 wouldn't spell english words correctly. I decided to remove Phone pad from the program menu
When I did it asked if I would like to reset, which I said yes. when the phone tried to re boot it got stuck on a white screen which I can't get passed.
I have tried to do a hard reset in each of the following ways:
Hold power & reset together - but this doesn't work
Press Power & camera together which just gets me to the boot loader but with no prompts to take me further.
I would be most grateful if anyone could suggest a solution
(the only other thing that springs to mind is perhaps loading a new ROM but i'm not sure how to do that either)
Thanks guys!
This is hard reset:
hold both softkey buttons, and use the stylus to press the 'Reset' button on the bottom.
Bye
hey that was quick, thanks!
which buttons are the soft keys?

Hi,
I've a problem with my phone : my dizitalizer screen is out of run and i have been done a hard reset of my phone.
Now the message "tap your screen to set your preferences..." (or something lika that) appears on the screen. Is there a solution to bypass this step or not to see this message after a soft reset ?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news but, "Tap the screen" means just that.
Whats wrong with the screen?
And just for your info, a soft reset is either:
1. Hold Power button longer that 15 secs and turn off / back on.
2. Pressing the recessed button on the right hand side.
A Hard reset is when you hold both the Comm button and Voice button at the same time and reset using the indented button. Keep them held while the device cycles and the reset screen appears.
Re: Screen digitalizer HS and hard reset
Yes I know but my dizitalizer is out of order so I can't tap the screen...
(I used my pdafone without stylet until now since my screen is out of order)
I look for a way to bypass this step because it's physically impossible for me to do the operation.
Thanks for your help.

Any idea ?
a solution
i think i've found a solution. the problem is the software 'welcome' that is in the startup folder of windows. Is there a way to remove it from the rom ?
cook your own rom
Well, people do cook their own roms. Xelencin and summiter do so regularly. moyofalaye has done so too. The welcome screen is part of the ROM as opposed to the extended rom, so that it is a more involved thing to remove it. On the other hand, I am sick and tired of changing my appointment with Dr. Johnson and would welcome a ROM that avoided that part.

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.

I had same problem with hard reset. I used all the ways to reset mentioned in this post but nothing helped me untill i tried a bit different way, you can also try this may be it solve your problem.
Step by step
1. switch off your phone.
2. enter in bootloader by press and hold volume down key then press and hold power on button keep holding both untill four colour bootloader screen shows up. (release power on and volume down)
3. press and hold both left and right silver keys at front while holding them press and hold hardreset button located under battery cover untill white screen with warning shows up.
4. open keyboard and press "R"
5. Follow instruction on screen.
Its Done. Hope this will help you

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?

thanks, this works!
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.
Hi all,
This is my first thread after being around with the availble great roms for awhile, this morning I came across a weird problem, somehow when I try to hard reset my X1 ( 2 silver buttons, reset button with stylus ) it just reboots back, like a soft reset. So instead giving me the hard reset options, it just boots like normal with the SE logo etc.
This is the same when I try too enter the rainbow bootloader screen, device shut off, removed battery and reinserted. But when I press volume down and power button, is just reboots as normal.
The weird thing however is, that I am able to flash roms when I use the ruu tool, it just goes to rainbow screen by itself, I just cant do it myself with the hardware buttons, or do a hard reset! This always worked.. Any ideas ?
Edit : I reflashed hard-spl, did nothing to solve this.
Thanks!
To hard rest, it's the soft keys and the main power button, not the with the reset button.

no as long as your holding the two front soft keys when the phone powers on it should go into hard reset. but it only works properly for me when i use the reset button.
make sure your holding the two front keys until the HR screen comes up, again, don't just press them once, HOLD them until it says in blue writing on grey background, press r to reset then press the r on the keyboard to HReset
this is the same for entering bootloader, hold volume down (and make sure it is down not up) and power until you get the rainbow screen
Weird thing is, I know how to do these two tricks.
I did like 20 hard resets with the two soft buttons etc.
Same goes for bootloader, only that isnt a big problem cause
I found out I can use enterbotloader.exe in windows map. Maybe
theres a shortcut for the hard reset too? Thanks

I have the exakt same problem I use smabergs latest rom, and I cant hard reset or enter tricolor screen, please anybody know how to solve this?
hi guys!
long time with no post from me but today the stupid thing (HD) did it again
i installed an app for home page tweaking and after the soft reset my HD dosen't starts right
it boots, does what it does but it sucks on the black screen with some icons on the top bar and the names of the soft keys on the bottom bar. i can only turn ona anf off the screen by pressing the power button, but nothing else. screen doesn't react, soft keys don't react either
i don't realy want to hard reset it because it took few months to make it working right, but i would do also this if there is no other solution
BUT...
when i try to hard reset it it stucked again in the tricolour mode with "SERIAL" word on the botom
what is this? i can't write anything so what is this serial all about?
so, please let me know if there is any solution for:
1. step by step booting in order to skip the process or application that cause the stuck?
2. how can i hard reset the thinggie?
thanks a lot!
Had the same problem after I installed HTC home and HTC customizer...after a soft reset, TF3D failed to load and the phone froze. Had to hard reset in the end--thankfully, I run a backup once a week, so I really didn't lose anything. I was able to run 'Clear Storage' before TF3D's startup fail managed to freeze my phone. So it's all good on my end...
Backup backup backup...a little too late...
Maybe you are not doing the hard reset correctly, you press and hold both Vol up & Vol down keys, whilst holding down power button aswell until it turns on. Hard reset screen should come up.

Sounds like a software issue Hard Reset sounds best
What you are seeing (Tri Coloured Screen) is the boot loader it probably showed up because you didnt hold the volume up key when doing Hard Reset
its not a problem just remove battery
then do hard reset (make sure both volume buttons UP/Down are press at the same time and press power button ..........follow what the screen says
thank you guys for your opinions
i know how to do a hard reset (cause is not the first one) and i tryed severl times before i post my request here
finaly i manage to do an "upgrade" using USB connection from my rom version to the same rom version. strange but this is what i did, and then i was able to do the hard reset in the usual manner
now i am working hard to restore all applications andtweaks that i had
luckily i use often backup and i still have contacts and personal infos
Hey everyone, just got a Hermes100 and installed a new 6.5 rom and trying to hard reset after flashing as it is advised, but my phone does not hard reset!
I press Windows Key + OK Key at the same time (Above the Send/End Keys), while they are pressed together I click in reset, then let go of 2 keys together. (even tried holding them longer and shorter).
I concluded i'm either doing somewthing terribly wrong or my phone has no hard reset for some reason (2nd hand phone).
I have soft reset and bootloader works.
Is there another way to hard reset? that actually has the same result as one.
thanks heaps guys!
My hermes has a crappy screen too, white flickers (slight) now and again when booting up (anyone have this)?
I'm not certain which keys you are pressing, (windows and okay keys are below start/end in my t-mobile vario 2).
You need to hold the 2 soft-keys, (directly below the screen) and keep holding them after you press reset until the confirmation screen comes up. Then press R.
I have a JasJam, there are Windows and Ok keys are above send and end on JasJam.
I read somewhere the soft keys are the Win + OK keys, but it seems they vary on device model.
OK, I have 2 keys below the screen, then below them are Win + OK, then below that is the Green + Red Send/End keys... so i shuld be pushing the 2 closest to the screen?
OK, now my screen has gone white,,, argh (not related). will try when i fix it.
Good luck with that.
The softkeys are the two which are the same as the bottom taskbar in windows, so it sounds like it IS the 2 closest to the screen.
Thanks jez83uk, you are correct, the guide I read was wrong, well i suppose it depends on Hermes 100, 200 or 300.
Mine is JasJam Hermes100 and the 2 keys are the closest to the screen, and it now HR's no problems.
cheers for the help matey!
