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

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.

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?

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.
It is stuck at the white HTC splash screen when you first start up the phone....after that its just a black screen, ive tried both hard and soft resets. I heard theres a way to flash it from the bootloader but i dont know how....So guys help me out....I really wanna fix this thing

Hi there;
To get into the bootloader mode, switch phone off and then hold the red/green answer buttons, and then power up the phone, hold this down until you get the 3 different colours on the screen.
*By the way, if anyone more experienced wishes to correct me, feel free*
*Damn Doublepost*
To enter the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
An alternative way to enter bootloader:
Switch the device off by long pressing O/I (power) button. hold down the camera button while pressing the O/I button about 1 second. Keep holding the camera button until you see 'tricolor' bootloader screen.
Alternative(universal?) bootloader(3)
As almost all htc smartphones with onboard camera, when you push and hold the camera(photo) button, and plug in usb adapter. Even a "stupid" usb power adapter will work.
To hard reset:
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
Good LUck
Same here
I have a HTC Touch 6900 I tried to upgrade the rom and now the HTC won't boot up. I tried to hard reset, and tried to get to the bootloader but nothing can anyone help me, Please
i had this same problem five minutes ago i removed the battery for a few minutes and replaced it and it turned on
Rdit:
--
ok the problem is solved... i´ve found the right unbrick ROM now it works
--
ok... now i have the same Problem. I wanted to flash from Onyx WM6.5 (5.0) to the original Vodafone Rom WM6 which i dumped.
After the flash finished, the device rebooted, the Vodafone screen was on the display and then it was black...
Hardreset = no change
Flashing back to Onyx = no change
remove battery = no change
bootloader is reachable and flashing works but the problem with booting is still there
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

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
