Hello
I took my friends xperia to install some applications when it happens this:
After i installed AEK software Keyboard Mapper the system asked me to soft reset the device to apply some settings.(The device during this procedure was connected via usb with the pc)
I press "yes" and as usual at the start up appears the sony ericsson logo then the experia logo and finally the device is active.But in my case the phone when it comes to the experia logo freezes..The screen remains illuminated but blank and when iam touching the screen(which is blank) i can hear the sounds of clicking.In this state if i want to shut down the device the only method is to take off the battery.I tried to hard reset the device(when its closed) but unfortunately it wont allow me to do so(i tried with all the possible ways to hard reset the device).At first i thought that the device had hasnt too much battery.I fully charged it and i tried again getting the same results.Please, can anyone tell me what to do?
Edit: After several tries it came up this message "The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tries to install an application from untrusted source.Press volume up to reset or press any other button to cancel etc" Iam pressing the volume up button but nothing happens.Please can you tell me how to hard reset the device?
Here is a link to soft/hard reset tutorial
Hi
I assume you have removed and reinserted the battery?, try this first, if that doesn't work go here.

Might have to hard reset, if you didn't install a safe mode boot program.

Thanks Ian but apparently you didnt read all the lines i wrote.I said "i tried to hard reset the device with all the possible ways but didnt work" including this way you send me.Thanks anyway
Problem solved
Doing this:
without using the stylus is to switch off the phone,
hold down right and left button (under the screen)
while holding down switch on the phone
release the switch button while holding the two others
then a grey screen must appear saying to push "r" to hard reset or "x" to cancel
push "r" on the keyboard and you're done

Guy,
Please Help
I was upgrading my XDAIIi to Xda IIi ROM v 1.11.162. during which it show an error message and it just went blank looking closely at the screen showing USB at the top of the screen and the bottom of it has v1.01,
when put on the cradle it showing USB.
I have press the reset botton God knows how many times
Please help someone
Were you trying to upgrade to the rom I posted? With RADIO 1.03 in the filename?
You need to press the power, d-button down and the reset button all together.
Then run the update program again. If it is the original O2 rom then it should work fine from there. If it is the rom I posted then the update will fail initially, just run the program a second time without touching your phone at all.
Hope this helps.
No, I am upgrading from O2 website. I am sorry it not connecting to my pc at all. No sign of life ,
it only display USB on the screen
Try doing a hard reset by holding the power button down and pressing the reset button.
Put it into bootloader by pressing the power, d-button down and the reset button all together and releasing them at the same time. The screen should say SERIAL. Connect it to your PC and the screen should then say USB. Then you should be able to run the update.
If this doesn't work as a last resort try taking the battery out for a while to let the backup run down and start again. Whatever happens the phone needs to go into bootloader mode and a rom applied to get it working again.
Please, which is the D-botton you are refering to
The D button is the "Directional" button, in between the green pickup phone button and the red hang up button.

no thats a "soft reset" hard reset turn the phone off (take battery out and reinsert if cant do from with in windows) press and hold volume up and down keys at same time, keep holding these and press power button. when text comes up press volume up button to restore device. (BTW you will lose all data on phone memory)

maybe at this point press volume up button? if not hard reset as prev post
To perform a HTC HD2 Leo hard reset
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see a message on the screen telling you this will erase xxxxxxxx......
2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Soft Reset
If i may add,
A soft reset,
1. Open the back with your thumb or finger
2. The RESET button is located below the bottom left slot for the battery and the SIM card. Use a small object with a blunt point like a toothpick to the RESET button.
3. Your phone will restart and the Home screen appears.
Correct me if im wrong,
Sorry im a newb, but what is the precise difference between hard and soft reset?
Will a soft reset delete stuff such as contacts, pictures and music? And will hard reset do the same?
thanks smaberg...
you should add the two other methods to the first post
there is the soft-reset button (little red button) and a software method (clear storage).

the "software" method (clear storage) is a hardreset, witch means you will restore it to factory default, deleting all info on phone...
the softreset only restarts the phone.
after flashing a new ROM i always recomend a hardreset afterwards, to be sure to get rid of all leftovers...
(Useful if flashing a rom and battery is less than 50%)
Enter bootloader mode:
Momentary press the red reset button on the back of the device, near the sd card slot, while holding the volume down button. Keep pressing on the Volume down till you see the bootloader screen. If you did not have volume down pressed as you were pressing on the reset button the device is just gonna reset and no change will take place.
Else, you will see "serial" written on the bottom middle of the screen if you're not connected to the PC via USB cable yet. "USB" will replace "Serial" when windows recognizes the device. Once on this state, you can press "next" on the rom installer where you have to acknowledge you connected the device via USB and your battery is grater than 50% and so on and so on.
You can start the installer on the PC prior to connecting the device in Bootloader mode. I don´t know what happens if you enter bootloader while connected to the PC (if you don't either, don't do it!!)
Note: I advise against using this mode with less than 10% or so. I guess you could end up with largest screened brick in the market.
To clarify previous posts:
Hard reset: Resets the device to factory defaults or to the last rom you installed.
How?
-Hardware method: combo of hardware buttons (described above)
-Software method: slide through HTC sence till "Settings" bar and select "Security" (top option). Then select "Factory resets" (last option). To my knowledge it does absolutely the same thing as the hardware method. correct me if I'm wrong.
Soft Reset: changes you made will take effect after the device resets (installed apps or reg edits...) OR you got to a sticky situation and you need to reset to get everything running smooth again (device shows abnormal operation of some kind).
How?
-Software method: Hold the power button till the quick list appears and press "power off" option on the top. You can also be presented with this option after installing some apps or after changing something within an app.
-Hardware method: remove the back cover and press the little red button near the sd card slot. Useful if the device stops responding and you are unable to soft reset by any other way.
Enter Bootloader Mode: allows for flashing devices in any battery state. It doesn't do anything by itself, just allows roms to be flashed. Some people have gotten stuck on this screen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599259, so use the search tool and read up before using. After flashing a rom you will loose every setting and file you had on the device itself. SD card will remain untouched (or so it should). I've read people advising to remove the card prior to flashing. Not exactly sure as to why. Files saved to the SD will remain intact. Apps installed on the SD card (aka. "Storage") will remain intact, only not registered or linked with shortcuts anymore. The device basically doesn´t know they exist.
How?
-Harware method: button combo (described above).
-Software method(ish): If you don't have to manually enter bootloader, the rom installer will take your device through this step without you having to do anything besides connecting through USB (activesynk, I guess) and running the RUU_LEO_xxx.exe file. You will see a progress bar on both PC and device as the rom is flashed.
Note: Reseting the device (turned on) while pressing a key (ex.: vol down) does the same thing as pressing the power button (with the device turned off) while pressing that same button (vol down).
Maybe you could transfer this info to the 1st post and clean up the thread a bit... Even, this could be at the Wiki section. Or better, a link on the Wiki to this thread
Hi guys,
I tried with both volume up and down pressed to hard reset, but not really successful. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

did u press power while pressing vol up/down?
Well, for entering bootloader mode, you can do it in "software mode" without having a PC connected to your PPC.
You can just run EnterBootloader.exe from your device.
(see attachment)

yes, I did. But when pressing I do not feel that is actually "making contact" I tried several times...
I will try with the bootloader from above...let's see...
Thanks and regards,

If, for some reason, you cant hard reset using the power button, you can always press the reset button on the back of the device while pressing both vol up and down. After the vibration, it will enter the hard reset menu (remember to keep pressing both vol buttons till this point).
By the way: were you pressing the power button and both vol buttons with the device turned off? Cuz, with it turned on, you are just cycle through the quick list and vol menu like crazy.
Yep...pressing with phone off.
I tried with the reset button from the back of the phone and it worked.
Thanks guys...

Seba
excuse me for my english.
i did a sof reset and the HTC touch hd turned off and i can not do anything; i did a hard reset and i have this message:
" the device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted souce, press SEND to reset your device or press any other button to camcel, this operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings"
I press any button but nothing happen; Where is SEND?.
Please, can you help me?
i press the display but nothing happen.
Thanks.
I presume they mean the green phone button by "send"
Is the battery fully charged
Have you tried soft/hard resetting it while connected to mains power
Odd problem though.
What about removing the battery for a few hours and trying again.
Hello dear xda community
I have a px6 device from the company "Wondefoo" installed in my Mazda (without any hard buttons). It worked so far so good, but ZLink (Apple Carplay) didn't work, so I tried to fix this. To do that, I rooted the device, uninstalled the "ZLink" app and reinstalled a newer version. Then I tried to reboot. And then my problems started:
The device doesn't boot anymore. It tries to start up, I can see the Android 10 boot logo ("multi-media on-vehicle Navigation System" screen), but after about one minute, this logo disappears and the screen remains black.
OK, easy fix --> Just go into recovery mode and reset the device. But here's the big problem: I can't get into recovery mode.
Here's what I tried:
1. Ignition off and on --> Screen still black
2. Press "Reset" button (my device only has this one physical button) --> Boot process started again, but same outcome
3. Unmount the device, plug the power out, wait an hour, plug it in again and try again --> Boot process started again, but same outcome
4. Tried to connect with adb over Wi-Fi to the device (used the last known IP address) --> Connection timeout, Wi-Fi probably not started yet
5. Press&Hold "Reset" button until lights beign to flash to get into recovery mode --> Lights never flash because the "Reset" button somehow breaks the power circuit and when I release it, the device gets power again and boot process starts again with same outcome
6. Press&Hold "Reset" button for a minute, then release it, then press it again quickly within 1sec --> Boot process started again, same outcome
7. Tab with 5 fingers on the boot logo --> Nothing happened
8. Attached keyboard and pressed "Alt" + "PrintScreen" + "I" all the time --> Nothing happens. Keyboard is with RGB LEDs, so I saw it was active when the boot logo was displayed... Then, the LEDs on my keyboard turned off which was telling me that there is no keyboard input possible anymore
9. I even tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/new-method-enter-recovery-no-physical-buttons.4013453/ --> I just have one similar cable, not two as described in this post... So I put everything together again and just tried again --> Boot process started again, same outcome
Well... Is there any option left? I'm thinking about buying a USB male-to-male cable and try again with adb, but everyone tells me that I need to get into recovery mode first which I really can't
* Is there any other way to get into recovery mode? Maybe with my keyboard?
* Does anyone have another idea what I could try? Maybe without recovery mode?
Thanks in advance and cheers

As you said:
1. Ignition off and on
2.Have ready the needle for reset and do that instantly as you see the boot logo.
Once device restarted, wait until will see the boot logo again and pull out the ignition key.
3. Put in an USB socket a pen drive with the right firmware
4. Put back the ignition key and let it in ON position, without starting the engine. The update process will start, have a bit of patience until will finish. The device will restart at the end of the update, and straight after the boot logo, shortly press the reset button.
With a bit of luck, will have a fresh firmware on your device.
Thanks for your quick answer.
I tried what you said several times, but unfortunately I always end up on the black screen, no matter what I try.
My usb stick flashes quickly during the boot process, but nothing happens with it.
I also tried with an USB male-to-male cable and connect via adb, but it won‘t connect...

Are you sure you are holding the reset button for long enough?
On my machine (Dasaita) you hold the reset and the machine turns off... but you have to keep holding it even after it has turned off. Could be upwards of 1.5 minutes. Once the lights flash (and finished flashing), release and press one more time within 3 seconds.
Thank you for this idea. I have tried 30 seconds, but no more until today...
Now I tried with 1min, 2mins, even 3mins, but nothing happens.. I think the power is immediately cut as soon as I press the reset button. So there is probably no way to fix this easily
I also contacted the seller, but they have a talent to not understand my question. I just get answers like "press the reset button 2 sec and then everything is fixed" or "plug in the USB drive with the new ROM and press update" - of course that doesn't help.
Well I guess I'm left with one last thing: Throw this device away and buy a new one. Not from Wondefoo anymore of course, and hopefully with a working reset button.
I have the same issue. What did you end up doing?
Where did you buy your unit from?
