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.

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.

Device reliabilty / reboots

Hi,
For the people who have received their HD (mine is on preorder at the mo.), how are you finding the reliability of the phone. My Hemres and Kaiser left a lot to be desired needing a soft reset every day or so to keep them working properly.
Strange things start to happen to them after a few days, for example notifications for email and incoming calls would stop working, the clock on the today screen would stop displaying all the digits. Oh yeah, same thing happened after a hard reset and different firmware versions.
Thanks,
Mike.

I have the HTC Touch HD a few day's now and i only need it to soft reset because Windows Live (Messenger) was f*cking around and could not stop it.

I'm sure this would relate to what ROM you're using. The stock ones have always been problematic. But build the right custom one and you should only need a restart once a month or less.

no need of reboots after many days of trials. The red button is the only one i didn't try yet!

Do you guys know how to hard-reset this device manually...I mean using the buttons..?
Hard-Reset using Windows OS option I know...but how to hard-reset this device manually?

Nara: There's a button next to the MicroSD slot for resetting, I guess that'll do.
According to HTC's site the following procedure is also for full reset:
Code:
How do I perform a 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 this message on the screen:
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
On Topic, I've had mine since last monday, and haven't had to soft or hard reset it even once.
Only soft reset I had to do was on purpouse to apply some tweaks.

it is not noticeable if one leaves windows xp/vista on for a a day+ that it becomes sluggish? well, windows in general need to be reset once a day to work properly ie..win xp/vista, so the same routine is especially applicable to windows mobile.

Blackstone SIM card?
Does it take a SIM card. Obviously I live in the US & have AT&T. I can't find any information anywhere that says it does or doesn't take one. & do I want the VAT? Don't know what that is but it definitely costs more money.

Thank you so much

Hi!
My only problem is the screen with the clock, has changed and now has a silhouette of the woman you would use for a blank contact, and the clock has changed to a small clock with thin numbers.
Changing things in settings, today, doe not help.
I will do a soft reset in a few minutes.

Soft reset procedure for HTC Leo

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....

How to start it up?

My phone is´nt starting up!
Is there any bottuns to press to start it in recovery mode or something?
Tried to start it with vol down but nothing happens?
Plz help!

Tried now but nothing happends

OK, can you make sure that you have got the external battery charger connected and switched on just in case you have a battery problem. Then try switching on or doing a reset (if it doesn't boot but there appears to be power). Just a thought.

how this was happening for you?

Try taking the battery out and then popping it back in before switching it on again. This is a known issue that occurs from time to time. There is no need to perform a hard reset as advised above.

Tried this serveral times but no luck..

Could maybe be a battery charger/battery or phone short (amnongst other things). I think it might be a return to supplier or HTC job. A backup battery charger/spare battery might help or it might waste time. Sorry.

Attention this will brings your installation beck to factory mode.
Reset via phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a Hard reset by using buttons on the phone.
- With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
- While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
- When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
- Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

i wrote that i have tried that, and it didn't help

did you do anything before this happened? (your first post is typically bare of any facts) like flash a new rom? If so what? Does it show the RGD info bottom left on the screen it hangs on? You said you tried hard reset but it didnt work, , do you mean it didnt work, or it worked but didnt fix it?

i hard reset it but it didn't fix it. i have ran froyo nexus one on it for a couple of weeks and the last week i tried hyperdroid. but after i have installed hyperdroid, sometimes it just restart by itself i have read other who got the same problem.but sometimes it it did not reboot again, there was only a white screen, and then i have to soft reset it a couple of times until it reboot correctly. but then the last 2 days it got worse with the reeboting and now it can't boot

you must update your rom with your sd card without boot to windows..(i know u can't it's for this reason than i say that)
but i dont understand how do it.. sorry search on this forum
