I just got my Orange SPV M5000 (Universal)... but there arent any icons or shortcuts for me to soft reset the phone.
Even when i press the power button, it just turns the screen off and back on. Even when i hold the power button for long, it still doesnt soft reset.
Can someone help?
Have you tried poking the soft reset button, just next to the USB port on the back?
Or try VJEschaton.

don't work (((
Well, this has happend to me a couple of times too, just hard reset.
Push Camera + Comm manager button together, then soft reset, but keep holding the camera and comm button.
When you get a message, click the green phone.
yeah, not sure what you're yelling, but i think your phone resets and only goes to a white screen and sits there?
happned to me and i almost cried. tried hard resets and nothing. left battery out for a day and nothing. i left it out again for a few hours cause i was pissed, put it in at 4am, did another hard reset and it started to work like normal, though resetted. keep trying!
I'd try all the stuff mentioned and make sure it is plugged in to the power supply.
hard reset and bootloader
for hard reset after you press both cam and comm button press soft reset the trick is dont release bot cam and comm bottons untill it prompts. finally press green button.
for boot loader device must be connected to crable or power. and press cam and power button then press soft reset. still the sam don release power and cam button until you see the color screen.
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.

About hard reset.
1. turn off the phone
2. Hold both right and left buttons (the ones right under the screen, dont know the name)
3. press power button, while still holding the others

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.

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.
Hello,
I have a Verizon Imagio (HTC Leo) and cannot figure out how to do a basic soft reset. Does anyone know how to perform this via either button combinations OR a program on the phone that does a SOFT reset (not the full HARD reset). Thanks for any help on this!
Cheers!
~Dubhead
that's the whitestone.... look a little further down the page...
Also wouldnt it be the power button that you hold down, i think its not a dedicated button so i will guess the call end button will do this.

Hold down the power button (hang up) and an option to power off the device will be shown.

Is this to power off the device or to reset the device? I think it is to power off...
Poweroff is a soft reset.
A hard reset blows away all your info and settings. Like a format
Hold the power button down and you will get a prompt.
of
pull the battery
Or hit the reset button under the battery cover. Little red button.
Hard reset is holding both the volup and voldown buttons during poweron
You could try Touchoff... it installs as a cab file and when you hold your power button down, it gives you the option of shutdown, soft reset, etc... or pxshutxp... which is an app that you have to tap to open for the same functions as touchoff....
