My brand new HTC Wizard has died and I can't re-flash it (as activesync won't detect it) and the hard reset function doesn't work (with hardware buttons). Anyone know of an other way to hard reset? It is rather urgent and I'd rather not have to send it back.
O2 XDA Mini-S branded, starts up radio screen but then goes completely white. LEDs still seem to flash, it won't connect to my PC and it won't respond to anything
EDIT: After posting this the phone finally decided to play nice... Why is it as soon as you look for help it decides to work?
PS. I had to hold com manager, voice record, power AND reset. Not a comfortable possition at all.

The Hard Reset function is supposed to be hard to press, to keep it from happening in a pocket or something. I guess that's a good thing considering how may buttons on my phone get pushed when I sit down with it in the provided leather case ^_^

Not so hard that you require finger contortionists or two people to get it to work. For a start you have to press the soft reset button which is inside the device. It is impossible to hard reset this model by accident, or my Alpine for that matter.

If you have the phone completely off, (battery removed). If your holding bothe soft keys when you press the power button it will ask you to press y/n to do hard reset

Early I edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS cache to 2048.
By now I can't start my HD2, it hang on HTC word with R,G,D code number and won't start on window.
Anything I can do for that?

I had to do 2 hard resets due to this tweak. Good thing i just got my phone and didn't lose anything but some some playing around with it.
My problem was a bit different though. It would start up but things won't load properly and seems the screen is not aligned(clicking on shorcuts don't do anything).
Anywhow, it seems this problem is affecting a lot of people, espcially ones with stock roms. I'd just stay away from this tweak for now.
Can't start my phone after Axlor 9.7 this rom ?
Hang on HTC and can't ive been restat it many times but all the same ! Help

Did u try HR? If not try it should help
I got exactly the same problem! Don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!
Not much you can do except hard reset and not use that registry "tweak" next time. I too have run into this, and I cook my own roms... so yeah, some how this is not compatible with the newer rom bases.
Okay.. Thanks mate, how do i do this Hard reset? I think i have tried the most?? Can you please guide me?
take out your battery, put back your battery, while holding volume up and volume down together press power button, release when you see 3 color bars.

Hi guys,
my HD2 remains blocked after HTC word at starting. I did 2 consecutive hard resets (using Vol UP/Down and Power buttons) but the problem remains. Still doesn't start.
Can any one help me on how to make it starting?
Thanks a lot.
boot without external card
try resetting your HD2 without your micro sd card in the slot.
I had this problem before, if you boot your device without an SD card, you might get some errors, but your phone will start.
Then undo the registry tweak and reboot again with micro sd card in slot..
Let me know if it worked

Thank you p50kombi for your help. I've already tried restarting without the m-SD card but it remained unsuccesful. I finally entered the bootloader USB menu and was able to flash my ROM. The problem was probably my Radio which was not compatible with the ROM (i aimed at testing different radio versions - now i know from which Radio version Leo 3.14 is compatible).
Many thanks to you.

MAybe a clue to what ROM/RADIO/SPL/ newly added software or tweaking was on the phone.
It seems that a lot of people have the same problem.And i was thinking that i was the only one... I had the same problem. After a hard reset started again but the problem comes back every time i try to add an application like Cookie Home tab or spb programs or what ever...
The strange thing is that i used Cookie home and a lot of programs since 7 months ago without a problem and i didn't do anything when the problem started.
I used to have HTC Touch 3g for 3 years and never had problems like this and i thought that is a good idea my new phone be another htc....Wrong decision..
Happy new year from Greece.
same issue but

Hi, could you please help. I installed the banana game then realised that the game wasn't compatible with HD2 as the game was showin g only on 3/4 of the screen and thye sense was unstable. I removed the app and the device switched offf. Sinced the I haven't been able to turn it on all i get is the initial black screen wity the pink ring. It won't resen using up down method and task 29 wont work as it is unable to connect. can anyone help....
what "up down method" its not up then down lol if you want to hard reset turn youre phone off press and hold up and down volume buttons and turn the phone on you should get a grey screen then follow instructions, and task 29 will work if you can get in bootloader but why would you want to wipe the mobile if you dont no what you doing?
and the banana game doesnt really give us much insight does it lol

Hi Demon,
I am glad you find this funny but here I am in tears re: the situation. I meant vol up and down for hard reset but its not working bfore turn on. I chose the task 29 as I am desperate and willing to reset to default setting. I did try vol up and down before turning on my mobile and still not working. See below url for the game downloaded but I didn't downloaded from this site I used the omarket. thanks

I wasnt laughing mate, so can you get in bootloader?? (press and hold volume down while turning the phone on keep holding till you get a coloured screen)is you battery charged?

No I can't all i am getting is the RGD screen...
Thanks
what do you mean RGD screen, can you post a pic if you have a camera
try taking the battery cover off, and then press the vol up and vol down together, carefully. Make sure you feel the contact as you press it. I struggled at the beginning to make it wiork. the button isn't really meant to bend at both ends, so it feels like you have them both pressed, but dont.
Once you are confident that both ends are pressed, only then tap and release power to start the phone.
ALl being well, 5 or so seconds later the three coloured screen should come up.
Fingers x'd

I tried again and you are right just a tap on the power as before i think i was pressing too hard on the power button ....now I have a gray screen with the following:
This operation will delete all your personal data ......
What should I do now to avoid losing all data...
Thanks
ok, now dont take this the wrong way mate because everyone has done this, but you must be doing it wrong or not catching the buttons right, if you have someone with you, you're easiest option would be turn your phone on as normal take your battery cover off, press and hold both volume buttons and keep holding them, get someone to press the red button near the batter with a pin, that way you have hold of both volume buttons, keep holding them while the phone is restarting and you should get a different screen come up,
like i said its quite tricky to get it the first time.
you cant not loose anything this is youre only option im affriad, but youre phone will work again

hehe, its a bit of a three handed job. I usualy use a thumb on each vol button, and my top lip to press power, lol.
I think sadly your data is gone. I can't think of a way to save it if the phone wont boot.
Plus, if this banana thing did mess your phone up, you want to be sure its gone.
(A good lesson in syncing your data regularly )
If the hard reset doesn't work, then my next steps would be to task29 from bootloader (volume down and power, dont touch vol up) followed by flashing your stock rom over usb.

It doesn't let me power off, it says "Unable to turn off device. Device locked via FMM."
Has anyone seen this? How do I reset the phone? I don't have data to save.

Yikes! It looks like FMM is Samsung's Find My Mobile service, so I wonder if you can sign into your Samsung account somewhere and unlock the phone? Good luck, I hope you can regain access to your phone.

I am waiting for the battery to drain, it won't let me power off for me to start hard reset. Not sure if there is a way to hard reset via odin or some other tool?
I hadn't set up FMM and I can't set it up until I recover the phone. So I will wait for battery to go off and try hard reset.

So it wont even hard reset if you hold vol down and power? You don't have to turn it off first for that - just hold the buttons for like 6 sec and should reboot.

nice to hear you got past it - thumbs up
Remember to set up FMM so someone else can't.
I hope the OP has checked to make sure his Samsung account password hasn't been compromised, or they'll just lock it again.
It was actually locked by your phone's system and not a bullcrap app? My son downloaded something that was a 3rd party lock and I got past it by putting it in safe mode.
